Shafter, California
Work went well today and we have the house about finished until the carpet and cabinets are installed. I had to go into Wasco for some parts so while there I went to K-Mart’s and bought Mae a Pont seta for Christmas. I had forgotten to take my lunch with me this morning so Mae brought it to me. She came while I was gone and left just before I returned, so I sent the Pont seta to Mae by Sister Shaw. Mae is having a group of women to the house and Sister Shaw is one of them. After the women left Sister Shaw and Mae went into Bakersfield shopping. Mae didn’t get home until 6PM. When I got home I made almond milk and almond butter. We ate dinner and then I took a shower. We then watched a show on the TV. We watched another Big Valley series before going to bed.
Thursday, December 02, 2010
I didn’t sleep the best last night so was a little slow getting off to work. Mae was up and got my breakfast and lunch ready. She is sure special! Today we worked on the duplex, unit #2, by first going over the nailing of the sheetrock and either setting the screws deeper of replacing many with nails. This afternoon we started taping the sheetrock. I wish I could show Elder Shaw how to tape but I guess I just have to be patient and let him do it the way he wants. I got home about 5PM. Mae soon had dinner ready. I then took a shower and soaked in a hot tub for a few minutes. This evening we watched the movie “In Harm’s Way” with John Wayne. It was almost 3 hours long but a good movie. I did write a thank you note to Brother Neiderhauser for the cabinet plans he drew for me. Bob called us and said that he could get me a TV for about half price. We are thinking about it. Bob also told us that Jamie is getting married the 26th of January. That is very good news. We are late getting to bed tonight.
Friday, December 03, 2010
I woke about 5:30 this morning but let Mae sleep later. Mae went to school this morning to help out there. Elder and Sister Shaw went to Bakersfield for a Doctor appointment but they were told that the Dr. was sick so they were rescheduled. I started taping. I stopped on the way home and bought some dog food for the stray dog that has been here for the past three days. It looks like a female boxer and we guess that someone has just dropped her off. We fed her this evening because we can’t stand to watch her just starve. I will have to call the dog pound tomorrow. Mae cooked a small turkey this evening for dinner. It was sure good. I helped Mae clean up and then I took a shower. We watched another show on DVD of “The Call of the Wild” series before going to bed.
Saturday, December 04, 2010
I woke at 5:30 but went back to bed and cuddled with Mae. She soon got up because several of the women went out to eat breakfast at Hodels. They kidnapped Sister Birch, leaving a baby sitter with the children, and took Sister Birch out for breakfast. The Birch’s will be moving to Argentina this next week, so that Spencer can manage a farm for the Church there. After Mae left I used the inverter table, did my stretch exercises and went back to bed. I didn’t wake back up until 9:30AM. I fed the dog and got me something to eat for breakfast. Mae and I worked on Christmas cards and letters. I wrote an added letter to President Nadado in the Philippines. Mae gave me a haircut; we took showers, got ready, picked up the Shaw’s and went to the company Christmas party. They served a nice dinner and then had some fun games. We didn’t stay for the gift exchange but came on home. I filled out this entry and we went to bed.
Sunday, December 05, 2010 (heavy rain this afternoon)
My stomach felt cramped so I slept most of the night in the recliner. About 3AM I went into bed and slept ok until morning. When we woke this morning the house was cold. We finally checked and found that we are out of natural gas again. I will have to check with Lee when we get to Church to see who we need to call. Our dog is still with us and she is always waiting for some food. I have tried to call the animal shelter but the one in Bakersfield is full and I only got a recording with Shafter. Nursery today was a circus with 17 children part of the time. It went fairly well and the Primary Presidency took 4 of the oldest children into Primary for sharing time, so that helped some. As normal we were tired when it ended. We came home and had a light lunch and then took a nap, cuddled up with quilts over us to keep warm. Mae slept about ½ hour and I slept an hour. We then went to the church house so that we could watch the First Presidency’s Christmas message. That was very enjoyable. Mae had packed a nice dinner and took it with us. After the meeting ended we drove over to the Kimberlina houses and used the vacant unit where we served dinner to the Elders. We went there because we had heat there. We had a very enjoyable evening with the young Elders. Mae and I cleaned up after the elders left. Sister Kim Brown let us borrow a heater that we brought home and with the other heater we got from work it gave us some heat in our house. Lee was unable to get anyone at the gas company to bring us out gas until tomorrow. We will do with the two heaters we have. Mae did call both Jeff and Scott as we traveled this afternoon. It is now late so we will go to bed.
Monday, December 06, 2010
We were late getting up and the house was quite cold but the two heaters made it ok. Mae prepared me hot cereal in the micro-wave for breakfast. I was late getting off to work and then I remembered that I had forgotten to get the key to return to Sister Shaw so I had to turn around and go back to get it. Elder Shaw and I worked on tapping unit 2 of the duplex. We finished the 1st and most of the 2nd coat of mud at 4PM so we quit and went home. The natural gas co. delivered propane to our house and got everything lit for Mae. It is good to have the house warm when I got home. Mae had cooked turkey stew for dinner, it was really good. I showered and shaved after dinner and then took a short nap. Mae and I read two talks from the Conference Ensign and then watched “Christmas Shoes” before going to bed. I entered this entry and we went to bed.
Tuesday, December 07, 2010
Mae prepared egg omelets for breakfast. Elder Shaw and I helped Lee with cabinets today and we got quite a bit done. We had sidewalks poured at the housing project so it was better that we worked other places today and it really helped Lee with the cabinets. Lee really has some neat cabinet equipment that he was able to buy. He bought it from a man that wanted to retire for $25,000 and the farm built him a shed to put it in if he would build cabinets for the farm. Lee plans on using it for income when he retires. Mae called the Shafter Dog Pound and they came out and got the dog. This evening we were going to watch the movie “The High and The Mighty” but the DVD is cracked and it wouldn’t play. That is the second movie we have received that has been broken in less than thirty days. I played a game of chess with the computer and with two “undo’s” I won the game. We talked to Mike by phone this evening and enjoyed that. Mae also called Shellie and visited with her a few minutes. It’s getting late so we had better get to bed.
Wednesday, December 08, 2010
I woke early and used
the bathroom then crawled back into bed for a few minutes before the alarm went
off. Mae hadn’t slept very well last night so I let her sleep and I got my own
breakfast and put my lunch together that Mae had made for me last night. Mae
woke just as I was about to leave for work. Elder Shaw and I put another coat
of mud on the sheetrock. I really wish that Elder Shaw knew what he was
doing. I am not sure just how much work it will be to correct the work he did
today. Besides being very tired when I went home I was also upset at the
craftsmanship of Elder Shaw’s tapping. Mae had dinner about ready when I got
home. After eating I shaved and changed clothes. Mae went with me Home
Teaching to Brother Manuel Macias. We visited and invited them to the Ward
Christmas Party. I will really be surprised if they go but we at least invited
them. On the way home we stopped at the store and bought some distilled water
for my C-PAP. Mae worked on Christmas treats while I played a game of Chess on
the computer. I won the game but it was close. I went to bed quite tired and
somewhat discouraged.
Thursday, December 09, 2010
I didn’t sleep the best last night and woke still very depressed and hurting in many areas. Mae’s comment yesterday had some affect but the thing that is upsetting is the concerns as to how the work is progressing. I do not want to be upset with Elder Shaw but he and I differs in our opinions as to how things should be done. I also need to visit with Lee as to what he wants in craftsmanship. I really didn’t feel like going to work today but couldn’t feel right about staying home. I know that my emotional feelings are also causing some of my physical problems. I finally took two aspirins and left the house. I was a little late getting to work today. Elder Shaw wanted to start texturing the walls and ceiling but I suggested that we sand the tapping. We worked on the front room and kitchen area and then Elder Shaw moved into the bedroom. I started putting a third coat of mud on where we had sanded. After Elder Shaw sanded the bedroom he went to the west duplex and started taping there. We quite at 4PM and I came home. Mae was gone Visiting Teaching when I got home so I showered and heated me some dinner. I then put the DVD of “Miracle on 34th Street” on to watch. Mae came home for a few minutes and then she went to a progressive dinner with some of the Relief Society sisters. After watching the show I worked on the computer for a while and then played a chess game. I lost this game. Mae got home shortly after 9PM. She made lunches for us for tomorrow. We found the paper work on the pickup and I will check with Dee tomorrow and see how we can best get the truck registered so that Scott and Jeff can bring it down to us in January. It is late so we had better get to bed.
Friday, December 10, 2010
I woke and got up at 5:45AM. Mae got up when the alarm went off at 6AM. She prepared breakfast and we were both off - me to work and Mae went to the elementary school to help there. Elder Shaw and I continued with the sheetrock taping. This evening we attended the Ward Christmas party. They served a nice dinner and had a short program with Santa clause coming. It was a nice evening. We decided to watch “Miracle on 34th Street” again as Mae didn’t get to see it last night. I didn’t make it to the end but fell asleep before the end.
Saturday, December 11, 2010
I woke at 3:30AM and was hurting from pain in my joints. I took some ibuprofen and laid in the recliner where I slept until 7 when Mae came in to check on me. We went back to bed and slept together until Mae got up about 9AM. I got up shortly after that. We had a nice breakfast of omelets and waffles. I called Bob to see if he got the pickup licenced and inspected. He had fallen to sleep and didn’t wake up in time to get there yesterday. I asked if he had received a package from us and he said that it was stuck in the mail box and he needed gloves on to get it out. Mae worked on nursery preparations for tomorrow. I helped her some. I also filled come capsules with Ambertose. We went into Bakersfield for some nursery items, to eat out at The Home Town restraint and to get a couple of items from Lassen’s. At Lassen’s they had the bread on sale for more than ½ off. We bought 9 loafs. I was sure tired when we got home but it has sure been enjoyable being with Mae today.
Sunday, December 12, 2010
We got up at 6AM to prepare for today. We left at 7:30AM for Church arriving there at 8AM. We took a few minutes and got our nursery room ready for today. We then went into the chapel and joined our Ward choir for practice in preparing for our Christmas performance for next Sunday. Bishop and Sister Birch spoke in Sacrament meeting and we enjoyed the Spirit they left with us. In nursery we had 16 children again and it was another wild experience. When we got home we got something to eat and then took a nap. Mae slept about 40 minutes and I slept 2 hours. We worked for 3 ½ hours on getting nursery children pictures printed so that Mae could make Christmas ornaments for each child to give to their parents. While I wrote this entry Mae read short stories from the Ensign. We soon went to bed.
Monday, December 13, 2010
I woke at 3AM and wasn’t able to go back to sleep. I set in the recliner until Mae woke with the alarm. She tried to get me to go back to bed and I did for a few minutes but then got up. I got to work just after 8AM. Elder Shaw and I continued to prefer-tape unit 3. At 10AM we took a break. Lee came and asked us if we would like to see the planting of the almond trees. It was very interesting. Lee also showed us an experiment that they are trying in the shaping of the trees. I asked Lee about the number of almond trees there are in an acre and he told me that 105 and 128 pistachio trees. When we returned Elder Shaw and I continued with our work. We completed the first coat of tape and most of the second coat before quitting work for the day. The Full Time Missionaries are scheduled for transfers tomorrow. Elder and Sister were planning on taking them to the Mission Home in Ventura but then she asked me if we would like to take them. I checked with Mae and she said that she would like to. So plans changed and we will take them there. When I got home I checked the car for gas and found it low, so I took it to the service station and filled it. After eating dinner I took a shower. We then watched two series of “Big Valley”. We then went to bed as we will have to get up at 4AM in order to pick the Elders up at 6AM to make the transfers on time.
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Mae didn’t sleep the best but we still got up at 4AM and made it to the Elders apartment just before 6AM. We met the Elders from Delano at the Chevron Station on Hwy. 46 and the freeway where Elder Garff went back to Delano and Elder Nicholas went with us to Ventura where transfers took place. We got to Ventura at 8:30AM and Elder Bills had a meeting at 9AM. We visited with a Brother Moyes, from Bakersfield that told us as story that is recorded in the book, Especialy for Mormons, of a little girl that lived in the Mormon Settlement in Mexico in the early 1900. The area was experiencing a terriable drought. brought her umbrella That gave us time to go downtown to a McDonalds for a Egg Mcmuffin and a Wild Berry Smoothy. We got back in time to be just a little early for the main transfer meeting. It was good to remember the transfer meetings in the Philippines. After the meeting and the transfer of luggage from Elder Nicholas’s for Elder Manning’s (a brand new Elder) we went to a Sub Way and got something to eat. We stopped at a fruit stand and bought a few items and then headed home. We arrived at the Elder’s apartment about 3:30PM having traveled 336 miles. Mae and I stopped at the new orchard that they started planting yesterday and they are almost finished with it now. We then stopped at the plant to get gas but I had forgotten to get the gas card. I had also forgotten to put my wallet in my pocket so it was a good thing that Mae had her purse. We had Elder Bills and Elder Manning for dinner at 5PM, although they were 20 minutes late. Mae had a nice dinner for them and after they left us some thoughts from the Scriptures before leaving. We watched the rest of the show, “The High and The Mighty”, which we started last week and found that the DVD had a break in it. Jay and Ilene Payne and their children stopped by to give us a Christmas Gift from Andrew. It was a card that Andrew colored and a CD of the Spirit of the Season by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with Sissel. It was special of them. After they left we watched the end of the show. Mae fell asleep in the recliner so I finished this entry and went to bed. It has been a long day.

Shafter, California light rain 50 deg.
Mae didn’t sleep very well so I let her sleep in and I got my own breakfast. Mae had made my lunch last night so I just had to put it together. Mae woke just before I left for work. Elder Shaw, Lee and I installed cabinets today. We had some electrical that we had to modify. At noon Mae came over and ate lunch with me and I filled her car with gas as the Farm paid for the gas to take the Missionaries to Ventura for transfers. Ryan Slade brought out a Christmas Present to Mae and I from the Processing Plant. The package contained a variety of almonds packages. After Mae left she went into Shafter and got a permanent from Veronica. She got home just before I did this afternoon. She had dinner about ready so we are and then I took a shower and shaved. I helped Mae get some pictures printed off for sending with Christmas Cards. I started this entry and then played the computer a game of chess. I won the computer in the game. I them read an article in the Ensign given by Elder Kevin R. Duncan that gave very good advice. I finished up this entry and we went to bed.

Shafter, California foggy and cold
We were able to sleep in a little longer as we have an appointment to meet with Merrill Dibble at 9AM today. It was very foggy so Mae followed me and we didn’t drive very fast. We only met with Merrill for a few minutes as just after we entered his office he got a call on the phone and a couple of men were there to meet with him. He did express appreciation for all we have done and he gave us a camping blanket as a Christmas gift. Elder Shaw and I trimmed the cabinets and then started to hang the micro-wave oven. Lee called me and asked if I could go out to the Wasco farm and check the power to the house. Most of the house is without electricity. As I started to leave the plant Lee drove in and asked if I could also go to the Sherwood homes and let Artesano Granite and Tile co. into the houses there so they could give Lee a bid on some tile work there. I found that three double breakers were broken so I took one of them with me. After I met the tile co. I went to Home Depot in Drano and bought the breakers. I got most of the outlets and lights working except for a ground fault circuit and I will have to talk to Don about that circuit tomorrow. The man from the Tile co. gave me a Christmas sack of pistachio’s for my time. I got home about 4:30PM and Mae had just beat me by a few minutes as she had gone to Slate’s and helped them prepare to move on Saturday. The Temple Apartment’s called and told Mae that they had a cancelation for a room so we said that we would take it. After dinner I helped Mae with the dishes and then I took a short nap. We decided to watch a show on DVD and chose “Ice Castle” but with in the first few minutes we shut it off because of the language. We put on “We are Marshall” and with very little bad language enjoyed the story, a true story. We soon went to bed as it was almost 10PM.

Shafter, California (rained)
Soon after getting to work I visited with Don, the electrician, about the breakers at the Wasco farm house. He had his son follow me out and we found and repaired the problem I was having with the GFI circuit. I helped Elder Shaw for a few minutes on the home. At 11:30AM we went to the plant office for a dinner in appreciation to Spencer Birch and his family. They will be leaving this afternoon for a little time with some of their family in Idaho and then to Argentina for a four year assignment to manage four Church farms there. I quit for the day and came home with Mae. She and Sister Shaw had been over to Sister Slade’s helping them to pack to move. When Mae and I got home it didn’t take us very long before we were packed and left for Los Angeles. It has rained all day and when we got over the Grape Vine the rain increased and the fog also came in.

Los Angeles, California (Rained)
We didn’t get up in time to get to the Temple for the 9:30AM Temple Endowment session. We got our things into our car and checked out. We drove around trying to find a parking space closer to the Temple but finally had to walk a block in the rain. In as much as we missed the Endowment session we did initiatory ordinances. We met President Brimhall in his office and visited for a few minutes and then he invited us to go with him to the Baptismal Fount area. He showed us the pumping system and then had us look through a doorway at the oxen. They are very impressive and massive looking when you look right straight into their face from just a few feet away from them. President Brimhall then took us to a Sealing room that was President McKay’s bedroom when he would come to the L.A. Temple. He also explained that there was another Sealing room the same size directly above that one that was President McKay’s office when he was there. We then went to the upper room in the Temple which is the Priesthood room. It is a little larger than a football field. It only gets used once a year for a special devotional meeting. On the west end of the room is the stands for the Aaronic Priesthood Quorums and to the east end is the stands for the Melchizedek Priesthood Quorums. East of the Priesthood room we entered the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles room and that is the only use of this room so it is not very often that this room gets used. On the way back to President Brimhall’s office I asked how the L.A. Temple compared to the S.L. Temple in size. He said that the L.A. Temple was the largest until the Annex was added to the S.L. Temple. Sister Brimhall was not there as she wasn’t feeling well. President Brimhall said she is just over exerting her shelf. We were visiting with President Brimhall for two wonderful hours, what a privilege it was for us. After we left the Temple we stopped at a Denny’s for dinner. With the rain the roads were some what slippery and foggy so we drove with caution. We also lessoned to the third book of the “Brothers”. When we got to Bakersfield we stopped to get a few items at a drug store. While we were there Grenn Clark called. They got our Christmas card and haven’t received an of Mae’s e-mails except the first one. It was good to visit with them. After getting home my back was hurting quite bad so I did some stretch exercises and then lay in the Chee machine. I fell asleep for 15 or 20 minutes. We watched the “White Christmas” on DVD and really enjoyed that movie. It was 10 PM when I finished this entry so we went to bed.
Sunday, December 19, 2010
Shafter, California (rain all day)
We got up at 5:30AM in order to be at the church before 8AM. It gave us enough time to set up our class room and get into choir practice by 8AM. The choir put on the program today in Sacrament meeting. It went well. We only had a few children in the nursery today and it was very peaceful. We brought a young man and a young sister to Shafter with us. They are both investigators and attended meetings today. After getting home I played the computer a game of chess and I took the black board. the computer won the game but it was close. We visited with some of our children by phone this afternoon. Bishop Lee and Sister Kim Brown stopped by with a gift and a short visit. They are sure great people. We watched the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” on DVD this evening. That made us late going to bed and then we had a warning that our Norton Anti Virus is expiring so we tried to get it renewed and that made us much later getting to bed.
Monday, December 20, 2010
(Rained all day)
I got up and let Mae sleep in. She didn’t sleep very long and then got up and got breakfast ready and me off to work. I later found out that Mae had gone over to the Slate’s where she and Sister Shaw helped Bonnie clean the house they are moving out of. Elder Shaw and I continued mudding the west unit. Mae had dinner ready when I got home. After dinner I took a nap and then shaved and showered. I restored our Christmas card list from the external hard drive because we have lost part of the addresses somehow. I read the cards we received today and then typed this entry. We had a little extra time so I played a game of Solitary and Mae played a game. Then a message came up telling us that we needed to renew our Norton Firewall protection and that took us some time. We were now very late getting to bed.

Shafter, California (foggy and some rain)
I woke with the alarm but Mae had been up during the night and was asleep in the other bedroom. I let her sleep and got myself ready for work. Mae woke before I left and stayed up as she is going to the nursing home today. Elder Shaw and I continued with the finishing of sheetrock. I also patched a hole in the tool trailer. I had started making almond milk and almond butter so after showering and shaving I finished that job while Mae finished dinner. I laid on the Chee machine and fell asleep for a little while. This evening we went over to the Shaw’s for Family Home Evening. We had a very enjoyable evening. When we got home I started on my journal but the computer would not let me make changes to my journal entries and it took a little while before we got that problem corrected. It’s now 10 PM so we had better get to bed.
Wednesday, December 22, 2010
(Fog this morning and Light rain during the day)
Both Mae and I woke during the night and slept most of the night in the recliners. It is a good thing that we have two of them. I let Mae sleep in and got myself ready for work. Mae had prepared my lunch last evening. Mae got up shortly before I left for work. Elder Shaw and I continued the mudding of the sheetrock. Just before noon Elder and Sister Shaw left for L.A. They plan on staying at the Temple apartments tonight and going on to San Diego tomorrow and will spend Christmas with their Son and family. I finished the texturing in the east duplex before quitting work this afternoon. When I got home Mae had dinner about ready. The missionaries are coming for dinner. I took a shower and shaved and then laid on the Chee machine. We enjoyed having Elder Bills and Elder Manning come this evening. After they left we started to watch a Christmas movie but it became disgusting right at the start so we shut it off. The Shaw’s loaned us a Holiday Triple consisting of “The Christmas Shoes, The Christmas Blessing and The Christmas Hope”. We have already seen “The Christmas Shoes” so we watch “The Christmas Blessing” and really enjoyed it. When I went to get up to enter my journal entry I got a cramp in my right leg that really tightened up and had me rolling on the floor in pain. Mae got me a hot bath towel and that relieved the cramp enough to let me get in a hot shower and rum the hot water over my leg. I wrote this entry and we soon went to bed.
Thursday, December 23, 2010
The weather is a little better today. Mae isn’t feeling the best so I had her sleep in but that only lasted 5 minutes and she was up getting waffles for breakfast. She did go back to bed after I left and slept for a couple of hours. I worked on the duplex and got the ceiling textured in the west unit. I stopped at 10:30 for a break and found that all the office and processing plant employs had today off. I cleaned up and took off also. I stopped at the store and got some groceries that Mae wanted. It was nice to be home and relax the rest of the day. We made some of the cookies that Sister Shaw made but they still don’t turn out the same as hers. Mae tried to stay down so she will feel well for the Holidays but staying down is hard for her. This evening we watch the movie “Christmas Hope” and enjoyed that as much as the other two shows. We got on the inter-net and ordered those three movies on-line. Even though the DVD’s won’t arrive until after the Holidays, they are movies that we would like to over again.
Friday, December 24, 2010
Fresno, California
The weather is fairly good today. We didn’t sleep in very long this morning as we wanted to get on our way to Roy and Linda’s. We packed the car and left about 9AM. We arrived at Roy and Linda’s at 11:10AM. Shortly after we got there, Linda and Mae went shopping at the mall. After taking Mae and Linda to the mall, Roy and I came back to the house and I fell asleep in the couch. Mae called me when they were ready for us to pick them up. After picking them up I had Roy stop at a McDonald’s and I bought us some Wild Berry Smoothies. We were going to watch a movie but their TV wouldn’t work. Mae and I went hot tubing for a little while and that really felt good. Roy and Linda then took us to Candle Light Blvd. where they have a mile long area that about ½ of the homes are decorated for Christmas. Roy parked the car and we walked down one side of the street and back the other side. It was a very enjoyable evening getting home late and tired. Mae and I soon went to bed. Roy was up longer and Linda fell-a-sleep and didn’t wake until almost 5AM.
Saturday, December 25, 2010
Fresno, California (heavy rain this evening)
Mae and I woke fairly early but Roy and Linda were still sleeping soundly. Mae suggested that we go Hot-Tubing again and I was all in favor of that. After getting out of the hot tub we showered and then went back to bed. It was after 9AM before Roy and Linda got up. We ate some breakfast and then opened Presents. It was a very enjoyable morning as gifts were exchanged and opened. At noon we went over to Phil and Julie Ann’s for Christmas Dinner. We went back to Roy and Linda’s after dinner and visited for a while. Linda wanted us to watch a show with them but the TV isn’t working right and they couldn’t get it to work. We left for home at 5PM. We stopped at Denny’s for dinner when we got just about home. As we went into the dinner it just started to sprinkle but by the time we ate it was pouring very hard. It is nice to get home. we weren’t very long before we went to bed.

Shafter, California
I woke early and after using the bathroom I went back to bed just before the alarm went off. Mae got up but I slept for another ½ hour before I got up. We attended choir practice but there wasn’t many there. Meetings were lightly attended also today. The nursery was pretty nice today as we only had 6 children today. We got some lunch after we got home and then I took a nap. Mae started preparing dinner for the Elders this evening. We will have all four Elder’s tonight. I had started a chess game the other day so I finished it after waking for my nap. I won the game. I went to Wasco and picked up Elder Ray and Elder Islas for the dinner appointment. Mae had a very nice dinner and the Elders sure enjoyed it. When I returned from taking the Elders back to Wasco I helped Mae wash the dishes. I played a game of Solitary and then filled out this entry. I played another game of solitary and won and then played a game of chess and lost. We then went to bed.
Monday, December 27, 2010
I woke early but because I am going into the chiropractor this morning I went back to bed for a while. I got a good treatment and then went to K-Mart where I found a Birthday card for Mae. At work I continued to texture the ceiling and walls. I left early so that I could go into Bakersfield for some supplies and to return some clothes that Mae had ordered from Penny’s. I tried to fill the pickup with gas but the pump wouldn’t work. I stopped at Apple Market and bought Mae some flowers for her Birthday. When we got to Penny’s Mae tried on several other dresses and we got two of them. We then went to Home Depot where I got the supplies. I hope I got everything that I had on my list because when we got to Home Depot I couldn’t find the list. It was 8:30PM when we got home. It is sure fun being with Mae. This morning at the Chiropractor’s office, Carol Hamilton, the chiropractor, said that they really enjoyed Mae’s delightful personality. She asked if she was that pleasant at home and when I said she was, she told me to hang on to her for you don’t find one like that very often. I had to agree. While at Home Depot Mae bought an artificial Christmas tree that is already decorated. We got home a little after 8PM and decided that we might watch one of the JAG series from the new set of 3rd and 4th season series. It is now 10PM so we had better get to bed. After Mae went to sleep I got up and fixed the flowers for her birthday.

We didn’t get up until 6AM and then we went out to eat breakfast at Hodel’s. I sure enjoy being with Mae. After we got back home I went to work and Mae went to the nursing home. When Mae finished at the nursing home she went into Bakersfield and got her dresses that we had picked out last night. She also talked to most of the children who called her to wish her a Happy Birthday. Mae went shopping at Winco before coming home. I got home first and took a shower and soaked in a hot tub. We had chicken and left over’s for dinner.  We did watch “Baptists at our Barbecue” and it was also dumb. I played a couple of games of Solitary and won them. It is now time to go to bed. Good night!

(Heavy rain during the night)
I woke about 4AM but went back to bed. I didn’t feel like getting up when the alarm went off.  I don’t understand why something like that can set the mood for a day but it happens to me often. I sanded the walls in the east unit, patched a hole in the wall, installed the two window seals and made a list of materials that I need to buy tomorrow. Lee helped me load and bring the window seals over from the Kimberlina homes where we have had them stored. I left work shortly after 3:30PM so that I could be ready for dinner when Elder Bill’s and Elder Manning came at 5PM. Mae had a nice dinner and after the Elder’s left I helped her do the dishes. I filled out part of this entry and prepared to start a new year of journals. Mae and I read another talk from the Ensign and then tried to find a DVD to watch. We tried the western stories and didn’t like that so we put on another “Big Valley” and enjoyed that. The choice of movies that are out now days is very pitiful and sorry.

Shafter, California (Sunny but cold, high of 45)
I woke and got up at 12:15AM and slept the rest of the night in the recliner. Mae woke me when the alarm went off at 5:30AM. I debated on whether or not I should wear my thermos or not. I am glad that I lost that debate because it was cold all day. Elder and Sister Shaw got home just as I got to work. The furnace in their trailer quit working, so they have no heat. I had them put the space heater in the trailer but I am not sure that it will heat it to a comfort zone. I worked on the house all day. After Elder Shaw and I tried to get the furnace to work, I suggested that he take the thermostat with him while he went to Bakersfield for parts. He could stop by a RV shore and see if they could check out the thermostat. He did and they can’t replace it until at least next Tuesday. After dinner this evening, I took a shower and then we watched the movie (Charlie) and really enjoyed it. I filled out this entry before going to bed.
Mae but this note in my lunch box today. Isn’t she special?
Dear Ken,
“I love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.
I was thinking about you and this song came into my mind, so I decided to type it for you and put in your lunch box for tomorrow.
I sure do LOVE YOU. Thank you so much for my wonderful Christmas & Birthday – electric throw, skirt, suits, flowers & card for gifts and out for breakfast and all the love. You are so special and I appreciate all the things you do for me – making the bed each morning and helping with dishes when I have lots, taking me out to eat and showing love in so many ways. I love the hugs, kisses and being close to you. You are my best friend and my sweetheart and I want you forever.
Mae XOXOXO
Friday, December 31, 2010
The plant is closed for the New Year Holiday so I didn’t go to work today. We slept in getting up about 7:30AM. Mae has been doing some research on the T-Zone Vibration machine and we decided to buy it. While she was doing that and getting dressed I made egg omelets and freezer waffles for breakfast. After breakfast we went to Apple Market and e0mailed the information to John Price in Gilbert Arizona. We then drove to the plant where we got the plumbing parts that Elder Shaw bought yesterday. It was interesting that he bought the model of toilet tank plug that he bought because that is the one I told him that we didn’t want. We did some shopping at Lassens and Costco before we went to Lowes and exchanged the parts. We then stopped at Winco and bought some groceries, most of which are for the plants monthly birthday treat. We ate lunch while we were at Costco’s. After returning home I took a nap.

Etymology: Vishnu the root of the name, which refers to “Settle”. The interpretation of Vishnu is, ‘the all pervading one’ or ‘the one who resides into everything’. Alternatively, it can be perceived as the existence of core qualities of Vishnu in a person.
Spiritual and Scientific Significance
The name Vishnu is first mentioned in the Rig Veda, and is denoted as a minor deity, often invoked as a companion of Indra. Vishnu became a more prevalent deity post Mahabhartha era.
Vishnu is a continuum to Narayana and has the latter’s core characteristics, which has been explained in the Narayana section. Vishnu is shown in Blue color, which signifies infinity (since sky and oceans look blue and depict infinity). This infinity refers to the concept of being able to realize one’s infinite inner self. Vishnu’s symbolism repeatedly reminds a man to listen to the inner voice, which comes from within one’s soul. The conscience can be cultivated by doing deeds, which relate to the realities of nature and life.
Vishnu continually inspires to live a spiritual life devoid of material and sensual pleasures. Symbology of the ten incarnations of Vishnu also has profound scientific meaning attached to it giving some sort of scientific and historic relevance of evolution of living organisms from protoplasmic invertebrates (Matsaya Avatar) to mammals (Varaha Avatar) to incomplete development of Man (Vamana Avatar) to a completely developed Human being with values and intellect like Rama and Krishna.
Popular Belief
Vishnu is the Supreme God in the Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism. Scriptures dictate that whenever righteousness (good) falls and unrighteousness (evil) grows Vishnu reveals his presence. The Supreme though unborn and undying, takes a human form to overthrow the forces of ignorance and selfishness. Vishnu is also described in the Bhagavad Gita (Prevalent Hindu Scripture) as having a 'Universal Form' (Vishvarupa) which is beyond the ordinary limits of human perception or imagination.
Vishnu takes form as an all-inclusive deity, known as Purusha or Mahapurusha, Paramatma [Supreme Soul], Antaryami [All-knowing], and he is the Sheshin [Totality] in whom all souls are contained.
Consorts:
Lakshmi- Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity.
Siddhi- Means Success
Associated Festival:
Vishnu is celebrated in different forms or avatars the most famous ones being Rama and Krishna also known as the ItihasaPurusha (Historical Men)

SMSLib for .NET is a port of the Java SMSLib library for the Microsoft .NET Framework platform. Its an attempt to create a binary distribution for the same java sources that the normal SMSLib is build from. The binary conversion is possible with the help of IKVM tools.
Please note that SMSLib for .NET is experimental! Please read carefully the following document in order to understand the port and know what to expect.
Looking a couple of years back, there was a seperate SMSLib for .NET codebase. So, I had to maintain and enhance two seperate versions, a C# version and a Java version. Supporting and synchronizing two platforms was found to be a tremendous load for me. Sadly, I've decided to drop one of the two. I like Java very much - I also like C# a lot, but I decided to go with Java since it was the most established version. Needless to say that I've received numerous complaints since then...
Some time ago I got to know a bit more about some conversion tools, mainly IKVM. My problem was that SMSLib is not an 100% pure Java library - there are binary dependencies, namely the JavaComm / RxTx serial communications' libraries. My first attempts to port SMSLib to the .NET platform failed misserably, as I couldn't make the comm library work. At the end, I decided to take a different approach. The result of this work is that now I can create .NET projects, use SMSLib as a DLL and having the full SMSLib functionality available on the .NET Framework platform, by keeping the same sources for Java as well as for .NET.
I decided to go with IKVM. IKVM is licensed with a business friendly license, like SMSLib is. It also appeared to me as a more mature product.  What you should really remember is that SMSLib is packaged as a .NET Framework DLL, ready to be downloaded and used in your project.
Enough with the theory! Below you will find the installation instructions for SMSLib for .NET. Its a pretty simple process.
| The following installation instructions are valid for IKVM version <IP_ADDRESS>. Different IKVM versions may implement different packaging of .NET/Java classes, so the installation may differ a bit. |
In order to use SMSLib, you should download:
Unpack the SMSLib for .NET package in a directory of its own. The package contains the ready-to-use .NET SMSLib library (smslib-x.y.z.dll
) plus two sample projects to get you started.
Unpack the IKVM package at a temporary location. Grap all the files named bin/IKVM.*.dll
and copy them in the Libraries
subdirectory of the SMSLib for .NET directory.
That's it!
There are two sample projects for your initial tests. The ReadMessages
project which reads messages from a serial modem or phone and the SendMessage
project which sends a message via a serial modem or phone.
ReadMessages
project with Visual Studio.Libraries
subdirectory) are added in the "References" section of the project.IKVM.*.dll
filesSince the java comm libraries (JavaComm and/or RxTx) could not be converted and used by the .NET application, I decided to solve the problem differently.
The Comm2IP
is a .NET native application which acts as an interface between a COM port and a socket. Traffic received from the one is pushed to the other and vice versa. Why I did this? Because, by doing this, I would be able to connect to a serial modem in the same way as I connect to an IP modem: I don't use a COM port, I use a network connection. Bye bye javacomm libraries!
The Comm2IP
is build as a .DLL in order to be easy for you to include it in your SMSLib projects.
The Comm2IP
is a vital component and I am sure it will be the subject of most support questions. If you don't set it up correctly, you will not be able to communicate with your modem. Examine the relevant code in the ReadMessages.cs
source file:
Comm2IP.Comm2IP com1 = new Comm2IP.Comm2IP(new byte[] { 127, 0, 0, 1 }, 12000, "com1", 19200); new Thread(new ThreadStart(com1.Run)).Start();
This code:
Comm2IP
component to bind to the local host (<IP_ADDRESS>) under port 12000 and to the com1 serial port, with a baud rate of 19200bps.From now on, all traffic from com1 will be forwarded to the listener which binds on <IP_ADDRESS>:12000 and vice versa.
Later on in the code, you create your IP modem gateway:
IPModemGateway gateway = new IPModemGateway("modem.com1", "<IP_ADDRESS>", 12000, "Nokia", "");
which binds to the same host:port that the Comm2IP
component is initialized.
Remember: One Comm2IP
thread is for one modem. For multiple modems you should create a matching number of Comm2IP
threads!
In the "/Misc" subdirectory of the SMSLib distribution file you will find the file names log4j.properties
. If you wish to enable the debug output, just copy the file together with your applications (i.e. your .EXE files).
If you would like to build the .dll file from the latest SMSLib distribution, follow these simple steps:
bin
directory. Copy the following files in the bin
directory: smslib-x.y.z.jar
, the log4j-x.y.z.jar
and the commons-net-2.0.jar
.ikvmc -target:library smslib-x.y.z.jar log4j-1.2.15.jar commons-net-2.0.jar
You will get some warnings about non-existent referenced classes, but for most cases the .dll build after this command is OK for use.
Once more, SMSLib for .NET should be considered experimental until further feedback is given. As a result, the .NET specific documentation is a bit short, but I am working on it.
Remember that the SMSLib is actually the same for Java and for .NET. The entire SMSLib functionality is available to you. The Support page will guide you in case you need support.

QR Codes in 11 lines of code? Easy. Let's look at how we can leverage free APIs from Google to get flexible QR codes in your mobile apps. We'll start off with the final product – a function we can call to create a Ti.UI.ImageView with a QR code in it:
See? 11 lines of code (excluding the comments at the top).
Now let's run through what the lines do.
-
Line 1 and 11 make a function; we want to use reuse this code in multiple places in our code, so we stick it in a function.
-
Line 2 creates the image URL that we will load. It is something particular to Google's Charts API. In particular, we set "chs" to the size of our QR code, and "chl" to the text we want encoded. Note how we encodeURI the text so that we have a valid URL!
-
Line 3 uses some JavaScript trickery to split the "300x300" string in to the width and height. We'll use this to explicitly size our ImageView.
-
Lines 4 through 7 ensure that our ImageView will size properly on Android by adding the "dp" (density independent pixels) unit on to our width and height.
-
Lines 8 through 10 make our ImageView and return it! We leverage the ImageView's capability to download remote images to keep our code extraordinarily simple.
So how do you use it in your code? That's also very simple. Here's an example that you could drop in an app.js, along with the above createQRCodeImageView function:
Now you're off and running with QR codes! But I don't want to leave you with just that. I want to leave you with a challenge, too.
The "hardest part" of the above code was coming up with our URL and sticking it in an image view – and that wasn't very hard at all. But what if you want to cache the QR code locally so that the user can see it even when they aren't online? What's your first guess at how you'd implement this? Use the Ti.Network.HTTPClient? That would work. But there is a much easier way. Check out the below code sample; I want you to carefully read through it to understand how it works. You can do it!

Preparation time
30 mins to 1 hour
Cooking time
30 mins to 1 hour
Serves
Serves 4
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
For the braised red cabbage, place the cabbage, brown sugar, red wine vinegar and water into a non-reactive pan with a tight-fitting lid over a medium heat. Once the mixture has come to the boil, reduce the heat to low and place the lid on top. Cook for about 25 minutes, or until soft. Check periodically and add more water if needed.
For the champ, place the potatoes into a large pan, cover with water and, over a high heat, bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until tender. Drain in a colander and return to the pan to steam dry.
Meanwhile, place the butter and milk into a small pan and heat through until the butter is melted. Once the potatoes have dried, mash the potato with a potato masher or ricer. Add the spring onions, and butter-milk mixture to the potatoes. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
For the thyme sauce, place the red wine, veal or beef stock, thyme and bay leaf into a pan and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by two-thirds.
For the roast Gressingham duck breast, place the duck breasts, skin-side down into a large, dry frying pan. Place the pan onto a medium to hot heat. As the pan heats up it will render the fat from the duck breast.  Fry the duck on the skin side until golden-brown. This will take about eight minutes. Once the skin is golden-brown, place the breasts, flesh side down on to a baking tray and place in the preheated oven to cook for 7-8 minutes. Remove the duck from the oven and leave to rest, covered, in a warm place for at least five minutes.
To serve, place a small mound of champ into the middle of each of four plates. Place a small amount of cabbage onto the mash, top with the duck breast and spoon over the thyme sauce.

I slept terribly last night. How unusual. Anyway, I felt pretty awful and as a result, the following conversation ensued between Jen and I:
Jamie: "<sighs heavily> I feel like a dried out turd."
Jen: "Well I'm sorry, but we only have toast."


Enhance the quality of your API calls with Client-Side Throttling
Oct 2, 2016If you are a backend engineer and work with high load environment you should be familiarized with the old Server-Side Rate Limit, mainly for security concerns.
Didn’t you ever heard about Server-Side Rate Limit? It is a technique to limit the amount of requests that the server or API can handle in a defined period of time, and that limit can be set per user or not.
Throttling is often used to limiting traffic on the server, mainly as a way to protect against DOS Attack. Additionally, it can also be used on the client-side, as this article describes.
When a rate limit is exceeded, all requests are throttled and fail for a brief period of time or until the activities back to normal. Once throttled, the caller usually get the HTTP 403 (forbidden) status as response.
In the above picture, the user #3 are exceeding the global or individual rate limiting, being throttled to guarantee the quality of service and security.
Just reject the requests is enough?
When a user is throttled, his next requests calls will be rejected. This behavior consumes significantly fewer resources than actually processing the requests and serving back correct responses.
If a request were simple, like only retrieving information from local memory, it is almost equally expensive to reject it as it is to accept it and return the expected result.
Additionally, we should consider that the server also allocates resources to receive the requests, establishing a complete TCP connection to finally reject them. Helping DDoS attackers.
Big mistake when consuming APIs.
Consider that you are creating the new version of Facebook client, that makes periodics requests to Facebook API to collect news feed, comments, likes, online users etc.
Almost everytime happens that unprepared clients, once throttled and getting rejected requests from API, keep making the same amount of requests, trying to reach the data.
As result, the API keep blocking the user to maintain the overall quality of the service and your client could never retrieve the data as desired.
How to apply Client-Side Throttling with Adaptive Throttling?
When a client detects that a significant portion of its recent requests have been rejected, it starts self-regulating and caps the amount of outgoing traffic it generates.
Requests above the cap should fail locally without even reaching the network.
Adaptive throttling is the key to solve the problem. To implement this technique the client needs to keep the following information for at least two minutes of its history:
- Requests: The number of requests attempted by the application.
- Accepts: The number of requests accepted by the backend.
When everything is fine at the client, the two values are equal. Once the API start rejecting the client requests the number of Accepts becomes smaller than the number of Requests.
The client app should still be able to issue requests to the API until the Requests be K times grather than Accepts, assuming K > 1.
For example, K = 1.1 means that the client will allow one Reject for each 10 Accepts.
Once the threshold is surpassed, which will happen when the state of the system meet the criteria Requests > k * Accepts, the app should be able to self-regulate and new requests are now reject locally based on the probability P0 described below.
Example, the client app performed 1000 Requests in the last 2 minutes, with 600 of them Accepted. Also, our system is designed to allow 4 rejects for each 10 requests which means that our K = 1.4.
In the previous scenario the app should start regulating new request based on P0 since the initial criteria is meet:
Since the client app is issuing more requests than our sample K allow, the app should reject new requests locally to the server with probability equal to 0.16, rejecting 16 requests in 100:
The problem with that approach
The P0 probability is originally defined in the Chapter 21 of the book Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems by, guess who? Google guys.
The main goal is to increase the probability of dropping new requests, as soon as the server appears to be overloaded (assuming a small value of K). Doing this, every client instance will help the server recover faster from the outage, by using less resources.
Also, this approach is used in some Google services and they suggest K = 2, based on their own experiences.
My concerns about this probability is that, if the server goes down for more than 2 minutes, the P0 value will stand in 1, rejecting locally every new request to the server, so the client app won’t be able to set up a new conection. As the result of it, the client app will never have another request reaching the server.
I would like to suggest a new probability measure, P1, that upper limits the chance of rejecting a new request to 90%, allowing the client to recover even in that worst scenario, when the service is down more than 2 minutes.
I have noted that this technique can benefit client libraries and apps to enhance their own quality. Also, companies that offer comunication through APIs, in order to improve their own quality, should encourage client designers to use techniques like these.
Cheers,
Rafael.

Pairing is incredibly valuable. I had wondered how DBC was able to teach as much as they do in such a short time. After pairing a few times, I think I have my answer. When I pair, the social aspect of the interaction helps me stay extremely focused and engaged. On many occassions I have not known an answer but my pair did, and then just a few minutes later, I knew an answer when my pair didn't. Together we were able to figure things out much more quickly and easier than when working by ourselves. It was also more fun. I believe I have made some genuine friends through pairing and it will almost feel like a reunion when I meet up with people in person at DBC.
I found it particularly rewarding to check in with people and get to know them and where they are at in their coding careers. I got a sense of the person on the whole and it was also great to emphasize with their experience of DBC. I ended up feeling less alone in my concerns.
Thinking of constructive criticism when I really didn't have any since I thoroughly enjoyed the peer pairing Also, walking the fine line between anonymous feedback and nonanonymous feedback since the more specific my feedback was the more obvious it is who is giving it.
I felt surprisingly vulnerable about the feedback. I was worried somebody would say something critical and I wondered how I would take it. In actual fact, people were all very complimentary and I was surprised that I felt a little bashful to be flattered like that. I did appreciate the positive feedback though.
It was. It was nice to see how people are experiencing my pairing style.
I found it sometimes easy to write feedback and sometimes difficult. Everyone has been a delight to work with and have helped me learn immensely. I feel like I'm repeating myself when I write feedback because I am always so appreciative of the companionship my peer pair gave me.
I believe it is highly effective because it keeps me motivated and engaged and it give me the opportunity to share my knowledge and learn from someone else's. To give a speficif example, Joey taught me that I could use auto-complete in the terminal by pressing tab. Later, that day I had a peer pairing session with Justin and I was able to share this knowledge with him, and he greatly appreciated it!


UsefulJS is a JavaScript library whose purpose is twofold:
Every JavaScript programmer has probably written a function to pad strings to a fixed width, a function to determine whether this year is a leap year, functions to manipulate class names of document elements, functions to do something better with Date objects than call toString on them, functions to work around the inadequacies of Number.toFixed and so on.
The major browser vendors have recognized that JavaScript programmers routinely and repeatedly solve the same problems, so we now have support for things like:
However, if we use them, our code is liable to break. Therefore, we're stuck with stuff like this:
var arrayIndexOf = function(arr, item) { for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { if (arr[i] === item) { return i; } } return -1; };
Or, if we're aware that indexOf
is now an Array.prototype
method in many browsers, we might write:
var arrayIndexOf = function(arr, item) { if ("indexOf" in arr) { return arr.indexOf(item); } for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { if (arr[i] === item) { return i; } } return -1; };
Worse, we may have filled in the perceived inadequacy in Array by blindly patching in the missing functionality with something that doesn't quite work according to spec:
Array.prototype.indexOf = function(item) { for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) { if (this[i] === item) { return i; } } return -1; };
The basic problem in all cases is the same: we can't rely on the JavaScript programming environment that our code is running in.
With UsefulJS that isn't true. We can optimistically write:
// Basic stuff [1, 2, 3, 4].indexOf(2); "Three score years".startsWith("Three"); var startTime = Date.now(); document.body.classList.add("myClass"); // Bleeding-edge var fmtObj = new Intl.DateTimeFormat("zh-TW-u-nu-fullwide-ca-roc"), dateStr = fmtObj.format(new Date()), // "民國１０２年１１月１３日" uLiterals = Array.from(dateStr, function(c, idx) { return '\\u' + c.charCodeAt(idx).toString(16).padLeft(4, '0'); });
and expect everything to just work.
Besides providing missing JavaScript functionality, UsefulJS provides a wide range of additional functionality, including:
In a nutshell, this is what UsefulJS does:
Makes the runtime environment sane then makes it better
If you downloaded the dev bundle, you'll need a version of make
. Windows users can
get one by installing Cygwin. Start off by unpacking the dev bundle to your
working directory then edit minjs.mk
which defines the function
for minifying JavaScript files. I use Google Closure Compiler. Even if you use this, you probably
don't have it installed in the same place as me. If you don't have any minification
tool, you can change the definition to this:
define minjs cp $1 $2 endef
With that done, you just need to type:
$ make all
For a clean build, type:
$ make clean all
Include UsefulJS somwhere in your list of JavaScript includes:
... <script src="UsefulJS-min-latest.js"></script> ...
If you want the extensions, use this:
... <script src="UsefulJS-min-full-latest.js"></script> ...
UsefulJS has no dependencies on any other libraries so load order is irrelevant.
If you are using the development libraries, load order is important: you need to load the core module first. All other modules are independent and can be loaded in any order:
... <script src="src/core.js"></script> <script src="src/string.js"></script> <script src="src/locale_en.js"></script> <script src="etc."></script> ...
Any required extensions should be loaded after the core modules
Having loaded the library, you have a number of more-or-less useful
functions under a number of different namespaces. To realize the full
potential, call the fix
method:
window.onload = function() { var fixed = UsefulJS.fix(); ... };
Or, if you're loading the library in the head:
<script type="text/javascript"> var g_fixed = UsefulJS.fix(); </script>
fix
method takes an optional opts
paramter that controls which fixes are applied. Some
fixes have to be explicitly disabled while others have to be
explicitly enabled. See the core module
documentation and documentation for individual modules for
more information.
The core provides basic properties and functions used by the rest of the library, and provides the framework for internationalization and localization.
The Array module adds missing methods to the Array class where they are not implemented natively.
The ClassList module provides a DOMTokenList interface to an element's className that works in all browsers. Where possible it makes classList a property on elements in legacy browsers that do not natively support it.
The Date module provides powerful, locale-aware date formatting and parsing functionality using strftime format strings. It provides a complete implementation of the Intl.DateTimeFormat API.
The Event module provides a simple, cross-browser interface to DOM events. It also provides functionality for dispatching and catching custom events.
Basic locale support is hosted in the UsefulJS core. A number of additional modules provide support for date and number formatting targeting a large number of languages and locales.
The Math module provides useful functionality missing from the standard Math library: logarithms to any base, conversion between radians and degrees, minutes and seconds and floating point error correction.
The Number module provides powerful, locale-aware number formatting and parsing functionality, including currency, percentage and scientific notation. It provides a complete implementation of the Intl.NumberFormat API.
The Query module provides support for parsing and building query strings. It can parse location.search and make the parsed values available to your web application.
The Storage module provides a DOMStorage interface to document.cookie. It also provides localStorage and sessionStorage implementations for browsers that lack them.
The String module provides a variety of methods for formatting, escaping and converting strings along with implementations of String methods that may not have been implemented natively.
Extensions are not part of the core library. They offer specialist functionality that will only be useful in certain applications. Be aware that they are not independent modules; for example, the UsefulJS.DnD extension needs UsefulJS.Event.
The Browser extension determines browser and engine versions from the navigator.userAgent string. It can make the engine version available through classes added to the <html> element, allowing you to fix browser display issues through CSS.
The Currency extension provides a simple conversion API.
The DnD extension provides a simple framework to support dragging and dropping elements.
The Skin extension provides a simple interface to using alternate stylesheets for skinning applications.
UsefulJS has been tested on the following browsers:

In the game of darts a player throws three darts at a target board which is split into twenty equal sized sections numbered one to twenty.
The score of a dart is determined by the number of the region that the dart lands in. A dart landing outside the red/green outer ring scores zero. The black and cream regions inside this ring represent single scores. However, the red/green outer ring and middle ring score double and treble scores respectively.
At the centre of the board are two concentric circles called the bull region, or bulls-eye. The outer bull is worth 25 points and the inner bull is a double, worth 50 points.
There are many variations of rules but in the most popular game the players will begin with a score 301 or 501 and the first player to reduce their running total to zero is a winner. However, it is normal to play a "doubles out" system, which means that the player must land a double (including the double bulls-eye at the centre of the board) on their final dart to win; any other dart that would reduce their running total to one or lower means the score for that set of three darts is "bust".
When a player is able to finish on their current score it is called a "checkout" and the highest checkout is 170: T20 T20 D25 (two treble 20s and double bull).
There are exactly eleven distinct ways to checkout on a score of 6:
|
D3 |
|
|
| D1 | D2 | |
| S2 | D2 | |
| D2 | D1 | |
| S4 | D1 | |
| S1 | S1 | D2 |
| S1 | T1 | D1 |
| S1 | S3 | D1 |
| D1 | D1 | D1 |
| D1 | S2 | D1 |
| S2 | S2 | D1 |
Note that D1 D2 is considered different to D2 D1 as they finish on different doubles. However, the combination S1 T1 D1 is considered the same as T1 S1 D1.
In addition we shall not include misses in considering combinations; for example, D3 is the same as 0 D3 and 0 0 D3.
Incredibly there are 42336 distinct ways of checking out in total.
How many distinct ways can a player checkout with a score less than 100?
