*Sign the petition
to ratify CEDAW!* [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=15231 ]
Dry,
Exactly 34 years ago today, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was signed by then-President Jimmy Carter. 187 countries have ratified CEDAW – also known as the “women’s treaty” – [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=15231 ]but the US not one of them* [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=15231 ]*. That puts the US in the company of just seven countries that haven’t taken this step to ending discrimination against women.
CEDAW is the only international human rights treaty focused on women’s rights, and was adopted by the United Nations in 1979. CEDAW has since been used around the world to bolster efforts to advance the status of women and girls – including the elimination of child marriage or forced marriage, improved maternal care, reduced violence against women and sex trafficking, and increased educational opportunities.
It is time for the US to join the nations of the world in ratifying CEDAW and affirming the importance of equality for women and girls around the world. *Take action today to help finally ratify CEDAW [ http://org.salsalabs.com/o/1400/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=15231 ].*

1. Examples for the Openshift Environment
The examples/openshift directory containers examples for running the Crunchy containers in an Openshift environment.
The examples are explained below.
1.1. Openshift Example 1 - master.json
This openshift template will create a single master PostgreSQL instance.
Running the example:
oc create -f master.json | oc create -f -
You can see what passwords were generated by running this command:
oc describe pod pg-master | grep PG
You can run the following command to test the database, entering the value of PG_PASSWORD from above for the password when prompted:
psql -h pg-master.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U testuser userdb
1.2. Openshift Example 2 - slave.json
This Openshift template will create a single slave PostgreSQL instance that will connect to the master created in Example 1.
You will need to edit the slave.json file and enter the PG_MASTER_PASSWORD value generated in Example 1 as found in the master environment variables.
Running the example:
oc create -f slave.json | oc create -f -
You can run the following command to test the database, entering the value of PG_PASSWORD from above for the password when prompted:
psql -c 'select * from pg_stat_replication' -h pg-master.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U master userdb psql -c 'create table foo (id int)' -h pg-master.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U master userdb psql -c 'insert into foo values (123)' -h pg-master.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U master userdb psql -c 'table foo' -h pg-slave.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U master userdb
If replication is working, you should see a row returned in the pg_stat_replication table query and also a row returned from the pg-slave query.
1.3. Openshift Example 3 - pgpool for master slave examples
You can create a pgpool service that will work with the master and slave created in the previous Example 1 and Example 2.
You will need to edit the pgpool-for-master-slave-rc.json and supply the testuser password that was generated when you created the master slave pods, then run the following command to deploy the pgpool service:
oc process -f pgpool-rc.json | oc create -f -
Next, you can access the master slave cluster via the pgpool service by entering the following command:
psql -h pgpool-rc -U testuser userdb
when prompted, enter the password for the PG_USERNAME testuser that was generated for the pg-master pod.
At this point, you can enter SELECT and INSERT statements and pgpool will proxy the SQL commands to the master or slave(s) depending on the type of SQL command. Writes will always be sent to the master, and reads will be sent (round-robin) to the slave(s).
1.4. Openshift Example 4 - master-slave-rc.json
This example is similar to the previous examples but builds a master pod, and a single slave that can be scaled up using a replication controller. The master is implemented as a single pod since it can not be scaled like read-only slaves.
Running the example:
oc create -f master-slave-rc.json | oc create -f -
Connect to the PostgreSQL instances with the following:
psql -h pg-master-rc.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U testuser userdb psql -h pg-slave-rc.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U testuser userdb
Here is an example of increasing or scaling up the Postgres slave pods to 2:
oc scale rc pg-slave-rc-1 --replicas=2
Enter the following commands to verify the PostgreSQL replication is working.
psql -c 'table pg_stat_replication' -h pg-master-rc.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U master postgres psql -h pg-slave-rc.pgproject.svc.cluster.local -U master postgres
You can see that the slave service is load balancing between multiple slaves by running a command as follows, run the command multiple times and the ip address should alternate between the slaves:
psql -c 'select inet_server_addr()' -h pg-slave-rc -U master postgres
1.5. Openshift Example 5 - Performing a Backup
This example assumes you have a master database pod running called pg-master as created by Openshift Example 1 and that you have configured NFS as decribed in the Prerequisites section of this document..
You can perform a database backup by executing the following step:
-
as openshift admin, run:
oc create -f pv-backups.json
-
as normal user, run:
oc create -f pvc-backups.json oc create -f backup-job-nfs.json
A successful backup will perform pg_basebackup on the pg-master and store the backup in the NFS mounted volume under a directory named pg-master, each backup will be stored in a subdirectory with a timestamp as the name. This allows any number of backups to be kept.
The pv-backups.json specifies a ReclaimPolicy of Retain to tell Openshift that we want to keep the volume contents after the removal of the PV.
Lastly, in order to rerun this same backup, you will need to remove the Job, PVC, and PV used in this example, this is done as follows:
-
as admin user
oc delete pv backup-pg-master
-
as normal user
oc delete pvc backup-claim-pg-master oc delete job backupjob-pg-master
1.6. Openshift Example 5 - NFS Example
I have provided an example of using NFS for the postgres data volume. On my test nfs server, I had to set the exports file entry as follows:
/jeffnfs * (rw,insecure,sync)
First, you can only create persistent volumes as a cluster admin, you can login in as the admin user as follows:
oc login -u system:admin
To run it, you would execute the following as the openshift administrator:
oc create -f master-nfs-pv.json
Then as the normal openshift user account, create the Persistence Volume Claim and database pod as follows:
oc create -f master-nfs-pvc.json oc process -f master-nfs.json | oc create -f -
This will create a single master postgres pod that is using an NFS volume to store the postgres data files.
1.7. Openshift Example 6 - Restore Example
I have provided an example of restoring a database pod using an existing backup archive located on an NFS volume.
First, locate the database backup you want to restore, for example:
/jeffnfs/pg-master/2016-01-29:22:34:20
Next, * edit the master-restore-pv.json file to use that path in building the PV, * edit the master-restore-pv.json file to use a unique label * and then execute as the openshift superuser:
oc login -u system:admin oc create -f master-restore-pv.json
Next, * edit the master-restore-pvc.json file, specify the same unique label used in the master-restore-pv.json file. * Then execute as the normal test user:
oc create -f master-restore-pvc.json
Next, create a database pod as the normal user:
oc process -f master-restore.json | oc create -f -
When the database pod starts, it will copy the backup files to the database directory inside the pod and start up postgres as usual.
The restore only takes place if:
-
the /pgdata directory is empty
-
the /backups directory contains a valid postgresql.conf file
1.8. Openshift Example 7 - Failover Example
An example of performing a database failover is described in the following steps:
-
create a master and slave replication using master-slave-rc.json
oc process -f master-slave-rc.json | oc create -f -
-
scale up the number of slaves to 2
oc scale rc pg-slave-rc-1 --replicas=2
-
delete the master pod
oc delete pod pg-master-rc
-
exec into a slave and create a trigger file to being the recovery process, effectively turning the slave into a master
oc exec -it pg-slave-rc-1-lt5a5 touch /tmp/pg-failover-trigger
-
change the label on the slave to pg-master-rc instead of pg-slave-rc
oc edit pod/pg-slave-rc-1-lt5a5 original line: labels/name: pg-slave-rc updated line: labels/name: pg-master-rc
or alternatively:
oc label --overwrite=true pod pg-slave-rc-1-lt5a5 name=pg-master-rc
You can test the failover by creating some data on the master and then test to see if the slaves have the replicated data.
psql -c 'create table foo (id int)' -U master -h pg-master-rc postgres psql -c 'table foo' -U master -h pg-slave-rc postgres
After a failover, you would most likely want to create a database backup and be prepared to recreate your cluster from that backup.
1.9. Openshift Example 8 - Master Slave Deployment using NFS
This example uses NFS volumes for the master and the slaves. In some scenarios, customers might want to have all the Postgres instances using NFS volumes for persistence.
Relevant files for this example:
-
master-slave-rc-nfs.json This file creates the master and slave deployment, creating pods and services where the slave is controlled by a Replication Controller, allowing you to scale up the slaves.
To run the example, follow these steps:
-
as the openshift admin, create the required PV(s) using this command:
oc create -f master-slave-rc-nfs-pv.json oc create -f master-slave-rc-nfs-pv2.json
This will create a PV for the master and another PV for the slaves. * as the project user, create the required PVC(s) using this command:
oc create -f master-slave-rc-nfs-pvc2.json oc create -f master-slave-rc-nfs-pvc.json
This will create a PVC for the master and another PVC for the slaves. * as the project user, create the master slave deployment:
oc process -f master-slave-rc-nfs.json | oc create -f -
If you examing your NFS directory, you will see postgres data directories created and used by your master and slave pods.
Next, add some test data to the master:
psql -c 'create table testtable (id int)' -U master -h pg-master-rc-nfs postgres psql -c 'insert into testtable values (123)' -U master -h pg-master-rc-nfs postgres
Next, add a new slave:
oc scale rc pg-slave-rc-nfs-1 --replicas=2
At this point, you should see the new NFS directory created by the new slave pod, and you should also be able to test that replication is working on the new slave:
psql -c 'table testtable' -U master -h pg-slave-rc-nfs postgres
1.10. Openshift Example 9 - Master with pgbadger add-in
This example uses a version of master.json but also adds the pgbadger container to the pg-master pod. pgbadger is then served up on port 10000. Each time you do a GET on http://pg-master:10000/api/badgergenerate it will run pgbadger against the database log files running in the pg-master container.
To run the example, you first need to build the crunchy-ose-pgbadger container imagee. Next, run the following:
oc create -f master-badger.json | oc create -f -
try the following command to see the generated HTML output:
curl http://pg-master:10000/api/badgergenerate
You can view this output in a browser if you allow port forwarding from your container to your server host using a command like this:
socat tcp-listen:10001,reuseaddr,fork tcp:pg-master:10000
This command maps port 10000 of the service/container to port 10001 of the local server. You can now use your browser to see the badger report.
This is a short-cut way to expose a service to the external world, Openshift would normally configure a Router whereby you could expose the service in an Openshift way. Here is the docs on installing the Openshift Router:
https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.0/install_config/install/deploy_router.html
1.11. Openshift Example 10 - Master with readiness probe
This example uses a version of master.json but also adds a Kubernetes readiness probe specific for postgresql. This readiness probe uses the postgres pg_isready utility to attempt a connection to postgres from within the container using the postgres user and postgres database as the parameters.
Run the following:
oc create -f master-ready.json | oc create -f -
1.12. Openshift Example 11 - Master with secrets
This example uses a version of master.json but also adds a Kubernetes Secret that is used to hold the username and password for the PG_USER and PG_PASSWORD values.
The secret uses a base64 encoded string to represent the values to be read by the container during initialization:
oc create -f pguser-secret.json oc process -f master-secret.json | oc create -f -
The secrets are mounted in the /pguser volume within the container and read during initialization. The container scripts create a Postgres user with those values. The PG_USER and PG_PASSWORD environment variables are NOT set when using this mechanism. Other environment variables can be overridden using secrets as well, see the check-for-secrets.sh script that gets executed during database initialization.
1.13. Openshift Example 12 - Automated Failover
This example shows how a form of automated failover can be configured for a master and slave deployment.
First, create a master and 2 slaves:
oc process -f master-slave.json oc scale rc pg-slave-rc-dc-1 --replicas=2
Next, create an Openshift service account which is used by the crunchy-watch container to perform the failover, also set policies that allow the service account the ability to edit resources within the openshift and default projects :
oc create -f sa.json oc policy add-role-to-group edit system:serviceaccounts -n openshift oc policy add-role-to-group edit system:serviceaccounts -n default
Next, create the container that will watch the Postgresql cluster:
oc process -f watch.json | oc create -f -
At this point, the watcher will sleep every 20 seconds (configurable) to see if the master is responding. If the master doesn’t respond, the watcher will perform the following logic:
-
log into openshift using the service account
-
set its current project
-
find the first slave pod
-
delete the master service saving off the master service definition
-
create the trigger file on the first slave pod
-
wait 20 seconds for the failover to complete on the slave pod
-
edit the slave pod’s lable to match that of the master
-
recreate the master service using the stored service definition
-
loop through the other remaining slave and delete its pod
At this point, clients when access the master’s service will actually be accessing the new master. Also, Openshift will recreate the number of slaves to its original configuration which each slave pointed to the new master. Replication from the master to the new slaves will be started as each new slave is started by Openshift.
1.14. Openshift Example 13 - Metrics Collection
This example shows how postgres metrics can be collected and stored in prometheus and graphed with grafana.
First, create the crunchy-scope pod which contains the prometheus data store and the grafana graphing web application:
edit scope-pv.json to update the NFS share info oc create -f scope-pv.json oc create -f scope-pvc.json oc process -f scope-nfs.json | oc create -f -
At this point, you can view the prometheus web console at crunchy-scope:9090, the prometheus push gateway at crunchy-scope:9091, and the grafana web app at crunchy-scope:3000.
Next, start a postgres pod that has the crunchy-collect container as follows:
oc process -f master-collect.json | oc create -f -
At this point, metrics will be collected every 3 minutes and pushed to prometheus. You can build graphs off the metrics using grafana.
1.15. Openshift Example 14 - Vacuum
This example shows how you can run a vacuum job against a postgres database container.
The crunchy-vacuum container image exists to allow a DBA a way to run a job either one-off or scheduled to perform a variety of vacuum operations.
To run the vacuum a single time, an example is included as follows from the examples/openshift directory:
oc process -f master.json | oc create -f - cd vacuum-job ./run.sh
This will start a vacuum container that runs as a Kube Job type. It will run once. The crunchy-vacuum image is executed, passed in the Postgres connection parameters to the single-master postgres container. The type of vacuum performed is dictated by the environment variables passed into the job. The complete set of environment variables read by the vacuum job include:
-
VAC_FULL - when set to true adds the FULL parameter to the VACUUM command
-
VAC_TABLE - when set, allows you to specify a single table to vacuum, when not specified, the entire database tables are vacuumed
-
JOB_HOST - required variable is the postgres host we connect to
-
PG_USER - required variable is the postgres user we connect with
-
PG_DATABASE - required variable is the postgres database we connect to
-
PG_PASSWORD - required variable is the postgres user password we connect with
-
PG_PORT - allows you to override the default value of 5432
-
VAC_ANALYZE - when set to true adds the ANALYZE parameter to the VACUUM command
-
VAC_VERBOSE - when set to true adds the VERBOSE parameter to the VACUUM command
-
VAC_FREEZE - when set to true adds the FREEZE parameter to the VACUUM command
2. Openshift Tips
2.1. Tip 1: Finding the Postgresql Passwords
The passwords used for the PostgreSQL user accounts are generated by the Openshift process command. To inspect what value was supplied, you can inspect the master pod as follows:
oc get pod pg-master-rc-1-n5z8r -o json
Look for the values of the environment variables: - PG_USER - PG_PASSWORD - PG_DATABASE
2.2. Tip 2: Examining a backup job log
Database backups are implemented as a Kubernetes Job. A Job is meant to run one time only and not be restarted by Kubernetes. To view jobs in Openshift you enter:
oc get jobs oc describe job backupjob
You can get detailed logs by referring to the pod identifier in the job describe output as follows:
oc logs backupjob-pxh2o
2.3. Tip 3: Backup Lifecycle
Backups require the use of network storage like NFS in Openshift. There is a required order of using NFS volumes in the manner we do database backups.
So, first off, there is a one-to-one relationship between a PV (persistent volume) and a PVC (persistence volume claim). You can NOT have a one-to-many relationship between PV and PVC(s).
So, to do a database backup repeatably, you will need to following this general pattern: * as openshift admin user, create a unique PV (e.g. backup-pv-mydatabase) * as a project user, create a unique PVC (e.g. backup-pvc-mydatabase) * reference the unique PVC within the backup-job template * execute the backup job template * as a project user, delete the job * as a project user, delete the pvc * as openshift admin user, delete the unique PV
This procedure will need to be scripted and executed by the devops team when performing a database backup.
2.4. Tip 4: Persistent Volume Matching
Restoring a database from an NFS backup requires the building of a PV which maps to the NFS backup archive path. For example, if you have a backup at /backups/pg-foo/2016-01-29:22:34:20 then we create a PV that maps to that NFS path. We also use a "label" on the PV so that the specific backup PV can be identified.
We use the pod name in the label value to make the PV unique. This way, the related PVC can find the right PV to map to and not some other PV. In the PVC, we specify the same "label" which lets Kubernetes match to the correct PV.
2.5. Tip 5: Restore Lifecycle
To perform a database restore, we do the following: * locate the NFS path to the database backup we want to restore with * edit a PV to use that NFS path * edit a PV to specify a unique label * create the PV * edit a PVC to use the previously created PV, specifying the same label used in the PV * edit a database template, specifying the PVC to be used for mounting to the /backup directory in the database pod * create the database pod
If the /pgdata directory is blank AND the /backup directory contains a valid postgres backup, it is assumed the user wants to perform a database restore.
The restore logic will copy /backup files to /pgdata before starting the database. It will take time for the copying of the files to occur since this might be a large amount of data and the volumes might be on slow networks. You can view the logs of the database pod to measure the copy progress.
2.6. Tip 6: Password Mgmt
Remember that if you do a database restore, you will get whatever user IDs and passwords that were saved in the backup. So, if you do a restore to a new database and use generated passwords, the new passwords will not be the same as the passwords stored in the backup!
You have various options to deal with managing your passwords.
-
externalize your passwords using secrets instead of using generated values
-
manually update your passwords to your known values after a restore
Note that you can edit the environment variables when there is a dc using, currently only the slaves have a dc to avoid the possiblity of creating multiple masters, this might need to change in the future, to better support password management:
oc env dc/pg-master-rc PG_MASTER_PASSWORD=foo PG_MASTER=user1
2.7. Tip 7: Log Aggregation
Openshift can be configured to include the EFK stack for log aggregation. Openshift Administrators can configure the EFK stack as documented here:
2.8. Tip 8: nss_wrapper
If an Openshift deployment requires that random generated UIDs be supported by containers, the Crunchy containers can be modifed similar to those located here to support the use of nss_wrapper to equate the random generated UIDs/GIDs by openshift with the postgres user:
2.9. Tip 9: build box setup
golang is required to build the pgbadger container, on RH 7.2, golang is found in the server optional repository and needs to be enabled to install.
golang is required to build the pgbadger container, on RH 7.2, golang is found in the server optional repository and needs to be enabled to install.
2.10. Tip 10: encoding secrets
You can use kubernetes secrets to set and maintain your database credentials. Secrets requires you base64 encode your user and password values as follows:
echo -n 'myuserid' | base64
You will paste these values into your JSON secrets files for values.
2.11. Tip 11: keeping docker upgrades happy
I found that when docker upgrades versions, it can break your install of Openshift which depends upon a certain version of docker to be installed.
You can keep yum from upgrading docker by including this line in your /etc/yum.conf file:
exclude=docker-1.9* docker-selinux-1.9*
2.12. Tip 12: DNS configuration for Openshift development
Luke Meyer from Redhat wrote an excellent blog on how to configure dnsmasq and Openshift, it is located here:
link:http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2015/11/19/dns-your-openshift-v3-cluster/
Key things included in this blog are:
-
configuring dhcp to include the local IP address in /etc/resolv.conf upon boot
-
configuring dnsmasq
-
configuring openshift dns to listen on another port
In my dev setup, I have openshifts DNS listening on <IP_ADDRESS>:8053. I have my dnsmasq listening on the local IP address <IP_ADDRESS>:53
Therefore in my /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf I have this config:
prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>;
If you dont have your DNS configured correctly, replication controllers and deployment configs basically will not work.

††††††††††††††† We were busy getting breakfast and everything else ready to go to Park City.† We went by way of Morgan so we could remove the artificial flowers form the graves as they will clean the cemetery of all flowers at 6AM on Monday.† It was after 2PM before we got to Park City.† We did enjoy the hot tub and swimming in the pool.† We all went down town and enjoyed walking around town, especially walking to the Shoe Tree Park.† We rode the Free Trolley and then went back to the hotel.† Time went by fast and it was late when we went to bed.† It has been a good day to be with Scott and his family.†
Sunday, June 03, 2012
††††††††††††††† We got up at 7:30 this morning but should have been up earlier than that.† We were busy getting things cleaned up and packed so we (Mae and I) could leave in time to get home to church.† I didnít get to the High Priest Leadership meeting.† Meeting went well, Bob prepared dinner for us.† After dinner I had to make a couple of phone calls to check on the Home Teaching for last month and then to make a report to Brother Thomas.† We took a short nap before Scott and his family came over to get their items that we had brought down for them.† Sandi came about 6:30PM to get Paris.† While she we still here Jeff brought my pickup and tools back and got his car.† After Sandi left we went up to Jeff and Gailís and played a game of Rook with them.† Jeff and I won tonight.† It was after 10PM before we left for home.† I had to catch up on a couple of days on my journal before going to bed.
Monday, June 04, 2012
††††††††††††††† I woke at 5:30AM and couldnít go back to sleep.† I started typing up my experience at the Deseret Mills in Kaysville. ††Mae got up later and prepared breakfast.† I started on several projects that I wanted to get done.† I went in for breakfast and we got a call from Shaun Shuman.† He is the one Mae has been in contact with to cater the Saturday evening meal at the Bushnell reunion.† His boss is requiring him to be out of town that week so he will not be able to cater the meal.† That was quite a bomb shell.† We have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what to do.† I did get the boat ready to go tomorrow but then this evening we lessoned to the weather report and they are predicting high winds and thunder storms.† After talking to David we decided to change fishing to Thursday.† Mae took Sister Reed and her daughter to Murray to the Doctor so Laura could get a treatment.† This evening we relaxed and watched a movie on DVD.
Tuesday, June 05, 2012
††††††††††††††† Mae didnít sleep very well last night so I let her sleep in but she woke about 8:30 anyway.† I took care of the animals while Mae prepared breakfast.† After eating I built a chicken feeder that I hope will work better for the chickens.† We had lunch and then we did more planning on the Bushnell Reunion.† It looks like we will have to do our meals.† Caterers from here want millage and that would cost over $600.00 plus the meal.† We figure that we can beat that but it will be a lot more work.† Brody stopped in to see Bob so we went up and visited with him for a little while.† He sure looks good and he says that he feels good also.† I made almond butter this evening.† We had planned to go fishing with Davidís children this morning but because of the weather reports we backed out.† We were glad that we did because the winds pick up and by noon we had rain.
Wednesday, June 06, 2012
††††††††††††††† Mae didnít sleep very well so we were late getting up.† After breakfast I started to go to the church onion patch to do some weeding but I had a flat tire.† I was a couple of hours getting that fixed.† We decided to get the tent trailer cleaned up so I set it up.† I found out that a brace had bent and so the back side of the roof would not rise all the way.† I worked on that until almost 5PM.† We then went to the Niederhauserís where we ate dinner with them.† Mae had wanted to take dinner into them after Joanneís operation so we took it over tonight but they wouldnít let her bring it unless we would eat with them.† We enjoyed it and were there a couple of hours.† I got the truck and boat ready to go in the morning.† I got a phone call from Linda to let us know that Roy had a milled heart attack this morning and has been taken to the Veteranís hospital in San Francisco. †She will call again when she finds out more but there wasnít a lot of concerns right now.† I let Bob and Irven know and asked Sandy to let Rich know.† Itís about bed time if we are leaving early in the morning.† Mae talked to Nancy this evening about the problem with her legs hurting at night and keeping her awake.† Nancy feels that Mae needs to stay completely off of sugars.† That really discouraged Mae.
Thursday, June 07, 2012
††††††††††††††† I woke at 4:30AM but Mae hadnít slept very well so I let her sleep a little longer.† We had planned on getting away by 6 but was a little latter.† We called before we left to see if David wanted us to drive both the car and truck or if just transfer the boat to his pickup and take it.† He chose the second option.† The kids were about ready when we got there and so we left their place at a pretty good time.† We got on the lake about 8AM and was soon fishing.† Tyler hooked the first fish but as he started reeling in Emily hooked a fish so it was a race to see which would get their fish in the boat first.† Emily won so she got credit of catching the first fish.† Both took it as fun.† We all caught fish, with Emily catching the first limit.† We caught all twelve fish with losing a few but all had fun.† After getting the boat loaded on the trailer, Mae and Emily wiped the boat down and Tyler and I cleaned and filet the fish.† We had several admire our catch.† On the way home we stopped and visited with Jeanenne for a few minutes and gave then some fish.† We had stopped to take her a copy of the book Mae did on Glendon Porter.† Calib, Mishelle and their baby were there when we got there so we enjoyed visiting them.† Kolessee was also there.† After taking the children home and switching trucks Mae and I came on home.† We were both very tired so after getting things put away we took a nap.† Bob found s sealer to put on the chicken feeder that I built.† I had thought of buying a sealer that is advertized on TV but they wanted $19.99 for two cans plus $19.00 for shipping and handling where this can of sealer only cost $3.00 a can which Bob found at Big Lot in Layton.† A much better deal!† Mae and I worked in the garden and cleaned out more things from the camp trailer.† After coming into the house I worked on Indexing and my journal.† Mae wrote to JaNae, trying to get the problem between Sandi and JaNae worked out.† Itís now 11PM so we had better get to bed.
Friday, June 08, 2012
††††††††††††††† This morning I woke early with a dream that was unlike any dream that I have ever had.† Weather it has any meaning or not I do not know and I do not know if I can remember or if I should write I do not know.† I dreamt that I had attended the Temple and after going through the normal Temple Session I was taken further; what it meant I donít know but I woke with the most wonderful feelings.†† I cannot explain and maybe this is enough at this time.†
I went back
to be and slept until 5:30AM when I got up to go into an In-service training
with the School Bus Department.† Mae hadnít slept very well so I let her sleep
a little longer.† I was really disappointed with the overall program today and
if rated on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give a 2 or 3.† They did let us out
early so that helped.† Mae tended Jeff and Gailís children today so that Gail
could take a training class today.† Mae was tired when I got home.† We did go
up to Jeff and Gailís and played games with them.† It is almost sure that Jeff
is excepting the offer to go to
Redding California.† We are sure hoping it is for the best.† We got home about
10:30PM and as soon as I entered this entry we went to bed.
Saturday, June 09, 2012
††††††††††††††† I woke quite discouraged as I thought about a three of items that was presented yesterday in the seminar; the CHAGS disease and the great increase in Drug and Alcohol Abuse and the great increase in computer control.† I am glad that I am getting older but am very concerned for my children and grandchildren.†
††††††††††††††† We slept in but were awakened by Bob vacuuming his floor at 7AM.† We got up and got start for the day.† Mae prepared waffles and eggs for breakfast.† Mae finished cleaning the tent trailer and I got the cable brace repaired on it.† I finished the chicken feeder and added feed to it to see how the chickens will react to it.† I called Brother Dane Searle and he came over to see what he thought is the trouble with our lawn.† He thinks we are not getting enough water to it.† He had us move the water cycle up to 45 minutes every day for a week and he will come back and check it again next Saturday.† This afternoon we met at Scottís home with Jeff and Gail and the five of us, Jeff, Gail, Scott, Mae and I rode together to Mike and Beckyís home, for Taylorís graduation celebration.† Sandi and Chelci also came.† Several from Beckyís family and some friends also came.† Becky had prepared a very nice lunching.† We enjoyed visiting and taking pictures.† It was after 10PM when we got home.† I gathered the eggs and we soon got ready for bed.
Sunday, June 10, 2012
††††††††††††††† We slept in this morning and it sure felt good.† I sure enjoy being with my sweetheart.† We decided that since we had forgotten to fast last week we would fast today.† After getting ready for meetings I took care of the animals.† The chickens seem to be adapting to the new feeder although I may need to close the throat a little.† I attended High Priest Leadership meeting to start the day.† Time seems to go so fast as I try to get everything accomplished that is on my addenda.† I slept throw quite a bit of the talks during Sacrament meeting.† The building was extra cooled today and Mae had to go home to get warm during Sunday school class.† When she returned for Sacrament meeting she brought me my suit coat and she had put on a sweater that helped her.† Bob soon had dinner ready when we got home.† after cleaning up the kitchen Mae and I took a nap.† Mae and I then went to Ogden and visited with Sister Southard.† She will soon be coming home but the staff is concerned as to how she will manage without anyone there to help her.† We also feel the same concerns.† After getting home I worked on journal entries before we went to bed.
Monday, June 11, 2012
††††††††††††††† This morning Mae started the washing and house cleaning.† I took care of the animals, adjusted the feeder and mixed grains for the chicken.† We then worked in the garden.† I started working on the pickup and then decided to check to see what it would cost to have the air-lifts installed for me.† Dee said that he would rather not, so I checked for other places.† The one custom truck shop was closed, Firestone wouldnít do it, Charlieís estimated the time would cost around $150.00 and the RV shop wanted $468.00 just to install them.† I came home and restarted installing them myself.† I got the first one mounted before I quite for the day.† Mae has also been busy all day so we quit and had dinner at 8PM.† We watched a show on TV but never did get the plot.† Shellie and Jase got here at 9:30PM.† I went to bed shortly after 10PM.
Tuesday, June 12, 2012
††††††††††††††† Bob prepared breakfast of fish, biscuits and gravy.† We let every sleep in because it was mid-night when Mae and Shellie came to bed.† After breakfast Shellie, Jase and Mae went to Lagoon.† They met Sandi and JaNaeís children there.† I finished installing the Air-Rideís on my pickup.† The water didnít come on last night as when I used the outlet I bumped the sprinkler control transformer and disconnected it.† I corrected it and turned it on to run today.† After it finished I wiped the windows down.† After eating lunch I did take a short nap.† I went to the Stake onion patch and weeded for two hours.† For dinner I ate some fish that was left over from breakfast.† I watched an old western movie on TV this evening.† Itís now 10:30PM and Mae and Shellie arenít home yet.† I am tired so will go to bed and let Mae come in a little while.† I just got ready for bed when they came.† I still went to bed without Mae.
Wednesday, June 13, 2012
††††††††††††††† We got up about 7:30 and got things going.† I went down to the onion patch and continued the row I had worked yesterday.† At 10:45 I stopped and carried my weeds out and came home.† Mae and Shellie were ready to when I got home.† They went out to eat with Georgia.† I got my eye glasses out to use them and the left ear piece fell off.† I took them back into Wal-Mart and the young lady looked up my history and said the glasses were under the warranty and then replaced the frames at no cost to me.† I have been very pleased with the service of the Wal-mart optical department. ††Jase went with me and we went back to the onion patch.† This time I just had Jase help me measure the length of the onion rows.† We found them to be 1265 feet long.† I hope to use those measurements to persuade our Ward leaders to make the assignments a different way.† Jase and I then got us something to eat for lunch.† We had just finished eating when Mae and Shellie came home.† I took a nap and then we all went to Jeff and Gailís and went with them and Marcie to the Salt Lake zoo.† It was very enjoyable but I was tired when the zoo closed and we had to leave.† We all came back to Jeff and Gailís where we ate and then the six adults played games.† We played ďSettlersĒ and after a long game Mae won.† It was almost mid-night when Mae and I got home.† Shellie and Jase will stay at Jeff and Gailís tonight. †Itís late so we went to bed after I made this entry.
Thursday, June 14, 2012
††††††††††††††† Mae did not sleep well last night and was still up at 4AM.† When I got up I tried to keep quiet as to not wake her.† I worked on my journal after reading my scriptures and saying my prayers.† I really find that I am very weak in my memory of what I read.† I am so grateful for the Spirit that burns within me and gives me testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the knowledge that His church is here on the earth to give us strength and guidance as to the plan of salvation. †I am grateful for the testimony that Joseph Smith was called to be the Prophet of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ here on earth in these last and final days prior to the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior when He shall personal rain on earth and cleans it for the finial time.† †I am grateful to have Prophets to lead His Church and to teach us.† I am grateful for President Thomas Monson and I know that he holds the Keys of the Priesthood (The Power of God extended to man to act in His name) and is the only one that holds that authority so long as he lives.† I also testify that the perfect plan was laid for succession upon Presidents death, for the Quorum of The Twelve to continue in the Prophets place.† I fully sustain and support the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve as Prophets, Seers and Revelators and the only ones that hold this authority.† I sustain and accept my Stake Presidency and Bishopric in their authorized calling.† This testimony and my special Eternal companion are my greatest blessing.† I wish that all my children could also have this testimony and desire.†
††††††††††††††† I wiped the windows down to remove the hard water from the sprinklers.† I tried to get things organized and not wake Mae but when I came in from watering and feeding the animals Mae came out of the bedroom.† I had eaten breakfast.† I got working on the hallway upstairs patching the hole where the swamp cooler was.† That took more work than I thought and I didnít get it finished before it was lunch time.† Scott came over for lunch but Shellie and Jase were late as they visited too long with Gail.† They did get here before Scott went back to work.† After lunch I finished framing and installing the sheet rock.†  When I got home I was sure tired so I took a nap but Mae let me sleep for 1 Ĺ hours.† Bob and I went Home Teaching to the Casey and Johnstonís this evening.† I visited with Bishop Smith this evening concerning the Stake Farm and onion patch.† I offered any help that I can.† Mae and I have visited this evening and now it is late and we need to get to bed.† Especially Mae for she has gone every sence she got up and she didnít get but 5 hours at the most of sleep.
Friday, June 15, 2012
††††††††††††††† I woke at 6:00 and started with reading from the Doctrine & Covenants and having prayer.† Mae woke at 7AM and got started.† She slept much better last night.† Both Mae and I were busy all day getting everything ready for our family to come this afternoon and evening.† I also took time to put the first coat of mud on the patch in Bobís hall ceiling.† All of our children and most of our Grand-Children and one of our Great-Grand-Children came.† We had a very good time.† As we finished the evening we took some family pictures and then they all had me open some Fathers-Day gifts and expressed their love and appreciation.† I offered to go to Salt Lake to pickup Kylan at the airport with Scott.† His plane came in at 11:30PM.† He was home sick and very tired when he got here.† It was after mid-night when I got home.† Mae and Shellie were working on the computer when I came in.† They were trying to copy pictures onto a disk.† I worked with it a few minutes and was able to get it done.

††††††††††††††† I woke at 6 this morning and woke Mae at 7.† We got breakfast ready and woke Shellie at 8AM.† Jase got woke when I cleaned the windows on the sun room.† After a nice breakfast we help Shellie and Jase get off for home.† it has been very nice to have them here for a few days.† Several of our family met at the Fort in West Ogden where Betsy and Devin took us on a tour to see the Fort and the home Betsy was able to save and have restored in that park.† The home was originally built and owned by David Elias Browning.† When we got home we were tired and both Mae and I took a nap.† Mae then went to see Dolly Southard and she is not doing very well.† Her family isnít taking very good care of her.† We went out to eat this evening and after returning home we watched a movie on DVD before going to sleep.
Sunday, June 17, 2012
††††††††††††††† I didnít have an early meeting this morning so we slept in.† Mae didnít feel very well so she stayed home from R.S. and S.S.† Itís been a fairly relaxing day except Bob and I Did go H.T. to Sister Fallis.† Mae also went V.T. to Sister Fallis.† We have to do that when we can catch her and Sundays are the best for that.† I made a table on my computer to assign onion rows out to the Priesthood brothers.† I think this will be a much better way to get the job done.† Scott and his family stopped over to wish me a Happy Fatherís Day.† Kylan also brought his airplane over to show it to us.† We did some research on the candidates on the Republican Ballot and filled out the ballots and got them ready to mail. ††I worked on Indexing for a few minutes after we had eaten dinner and then we watched a J.A.G. serious before going to sleep.

††††††††††††††† I got up early and got ready to go fishing.† Nick arrived here shortly after 6AM and we went to East Canon reservoir.† Nick caught the first fish about 20 minutes after we got the boat on the water.† By 11AM we had our limits and loaded the boat.† We took the time to clean the fish at the cleaning station.† We bought some ice when we got to Morgan to pack the fish in.† Nick had to leave as soon as we got home so that he could take his son into the Dr. to check his arm.† It looks like Logan strained the arm by pitching.† I filed the eight fish and sealed them for freezing.† I worked on the onion field assignments with Brother Morgan Thomas, High Priest Group Leader and Brother Tomas Saunders, Elders Quorum President.† This evening we watched another J.A.G. serious before going to bed.
Tuesday, June 19, 2012
††††††††††††††† Mae slept most of the night in the guest bedroom.† She doesnít feel very well.† We think that she mainly has allergies.† We decided that we had better not go anyplace for our 53rd wedding anniversary.† I did some chasing to get row marker materials, material to build rabbit nestís and chicken and rabbit feed.† We ate a Sub-Way sandwich for lunch.† While eating lunch we watch a show on TV.† I started to get everything ready to build rabbit litter boxes when I remembered that my one staple gun quite working while I was helping Jeff so I checked on getting it repaired and found that I was looking at getting parts ordered with a cost of $35.00 plus freight and an unknown length of time for the parts to come.† I decided to just buy a new one.† I had used part of my Fatherís Day gift from my children to buy Andrea and Wallisís wedding gift, part for materials to build the rabbit nestís, part for materials to stake out the onion patch and the rest to buy the staple gun.† I guess I have to be thankful that I had been given the money as a gift to cover those expenses.† For dinner this evening I barbequed some fish on the grill.† They sure turned out good.† I worked on the assignments charts for the onion patch and Mae worked on plans for the Bushnell Family Reunion.† We both finished about the same time and soon went to bed.
Thursday, June 21, 2012
††††††††††††††† I woke at 5AM.† Mae was in the other bed as she hadnít slept well so I shut the door and let her sleep.† She woke about 7:30AM.† I finished a batch of indexing this morning making 1071 names that I have entered so far.† I really seem to enjoy this program.† We had breakfast and then Mae went back to bed as she is really feeling bad.† I decided that I had better stay home to be with her but when it came close to the time that we needed to leave for S.L., Mae called to me to get ready.† She felt that even those she didnít feel well enough to attend the reception and wedding of Wallis and Andrea, I should attend.† Bob and I drove down. †When we got to S.L. we couldnít find any parking close to the reception area.† I should have read the invitation as it gave pacific instructions.† I finally dropped Bob off at the Joseph Smith building and I parked the car west of the conference center.† We walked east another block to the lunching.† We enjoyed visiting with many of our family.† As usual Rich, Lois and Elias were there.† Rich isnít doing very well mentally but is still in good health physically.† The Temple Sealing was very special and so worthwhile for all that were able to attended.† I truly felt the spirit of our Lord and the importance of the Marriage Convenience.† Bob and I drove back home where I got something to eat.† Mae had gotten up and did her hair but is still not well.† She also did more planning on the Bushnell Reunion.† I took a nap and then Bob, Sherrie, Cole and I drove back to the Wedding Reception.† It was held at Louland Falls in Parleyís Canyon.† I enjoyed visiting with many of the guest.† Rose Mary and Brent Palmer from Goshen were able to be there along with others I know, besides many family members, Sandi and Chelci, Bryce and Deanna, Devin and Betsy, Phillip and Lisa, Grant, plus all of Irven and Sandyís family.† Bryce and his family were planning on being there but their plane flight was just too late.† Mae was missed by many especially by me.† When we I got home, I fixed Mae and I some fruit and toast.† I wasnít able to eat very much at the lunching and there wasnít anything that I could eat at the reception.† That makes it kind of hard on both sides.† We watched another J.A.G. serious before going to sleep.
Friday, June 22, 2012
††††††††††††††† I woke early and after reading and prayers I prepared breakfast.† Mae slept pretty well but still isnít feeling the best. †After we ate I went out in the garden and picked peas.† Mae came and got me and we took Mae to see Dr. Yates at the Tanner Clinic in Kaysville.† Dr. Lee was off and we were quite impressed with Dr. Yates.† He also gave me some needles to remove slivers.† I have been out of needles for some time.† We took some furniture to the Deseret Industries that Bob didnít want.† After getting home Mae prepared lunch.† I took a nap after eating and then started to build the rabbit nesting boxes.† I needed some material so was just going for a few minutes but the pickup died and I had to have Mae come and bring me some tools.† I bought and installed a new battery but then found that the alternator was also out.† I went to Home Depot and got the material I needed and then went to the Auto Zone and bought a new alternator.† I had bought the battery at the Roy store but they didnít have the alternator and sent me to the Clearfield store.† It was after 6 PM when I got home.† Scott called and wants to borrow my compressor and roofing gun tomorrow.† I will have to finish my nesting boxes in the morning.† We went to bed about 8:30PM and watched the movie ďThe King and IĒ before going to sleep.†

††††††††††††††† I had plans but Sister Olson called with electrical problems so I went that way.† I really ran into a mess and by noon had found two outlets that were wired wrong but still not the problem with the circuit in the front room and basement area.† At noon I quit and came home for lunch.† Both Mae and I then took a short nap.† After getting back up I got the boat and other items to go fishing.† Mae was going to go also but she doesnít feel good.† I picked up Kylan and Ashley and we went to East Canon.† It took us a couple of hours before both Ashley and Kylan caught a fish.† They then wanted to play in the so we quite fishing and found a place to beach the boat and let them play.† After a few minutes I moved the boat out into deeper water and anchored it.† they enjoyed jumping of the boat into the water.† It was after 7PM when we quit and came in.† I cleaned and fillet the fish before we came home.† I think they had a good time and I guess that is what counts.† It was almost 10PM when I got home.† I am very tired.

††††††††††††††† I woke at 4:15AM and didnít go back to bed.† I should have gone in and spoke to Nick before he left because he re-armed the house alarm before he left.† I wanted to go out and repair the trailer but couldnít open the door without setting off the alarm.† I waited until almost 5:30AM and then woke Sandi and had her de-arm the alarm.† It didnít take me very long to have the repairs done so I had Sandi come out and I showed her the rest of the things she needs to know about the camp trailer.† By then Mae was up so we had breakfast.† Mae and I packed our things and left for Salt Lake.† About the time we got to the intersection that we should have taken to I-215, Bob called for he had came to Bob and Cherylís and found that no one was there and he didnít know where to go.† Mae was talking to him on my cell-phone and asking me how to get there.† We had forgotten to bring the IPOD with us and that is where I had the directions.† I wasnít sure that I know how to get there and as we talked I suddenly realized that I had missed the exit.† Bob had hung up and I was lost.† We finally found Bob and Cherylís home.† Bob had returned there so we had him.† I found their Chapel and we found some fellow cleaning the building.† I asked them and they gave me some directions which we later found out that it was to the wrong Stake Center.† Sandy called on Cherylís Bishops wifeís cell-phone and then they came and directed us to the Stake Center.† The Bishop had gone ahead with the Baptism of Emma, Cherylís granddaughters but we got there just in time for me to be voice in her confirmation.† We enjoyed visit after the services were complete.† When we got home Bob prepared chicken for dinner.† I then took a nap and worked on my journal.† Bob and I went Home Teaching to Brother Therman this afternoon.† Bob though that he had a Single Adult program to go to but when we returned we looked on the invitation and found that it is not until September.† Mae and I went to the wedding reception of Jessica Kay and Matthew Scott Richards which was held in Perry, Utah.† Matthew is the son† of Scott and Tinna (Linderman) Richards.† It was so good to see Tinna again and it made her so happy.† Scott and Tinna are moving Indiana next week as Scott has a better job offer which should allow him to retire in 5 years.† When we came home Brother Campell and his children were here to bring us some chicken feed that they still had.† We visited for a little while.† Mae and I watched the last half of ďPelican BriefĒ before we went to bed.† I sure love being with Mae, she is soooooo good to and for me!!!!
Here is Cherylís talk that we missed and asked her to send to us:
ďIím so happy and grateful to be here today for Emmahís baptism.† It is such a special day.† It has been five years today that I went through the Salt Lake Temple for my own endowments.† I also was able to be proxy for the baptism of my daughter, Sarah, in the Jordan River Temple with the help of Sister Linda Bonella.† It was such a special experience.† That particular day was fifty years after my own baptism on September 29th.† The Lord has blessed me in so many ways and I am thankful.
I have been asked to talk about the Holy Ghost.† I want to start my talk by asking some questions and hopefully give some answers and ideas for Emmah.
What valuable gift can you receive after you are baptized?
I think Emmah already knows the answer because when Bishop Skidmore asked her on Sunday ďWhy do you want to be Baptized?Ē She said ďTo receive the Holy Ghost.Ē† The gift of the Holy Ghost is one of the great blessings we receive.† In Moroni chapter 10 verse 5 it says ďand by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.Ē
Who is the Holy Ghost?
A being who helps Jesus and Heavenly Father, a spirit, someone who can comfort us.† The first article of faith ďWe believe in God, the eternal Father and his son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.Ē† The Holy Ghost does not have a body of flesh and bones like Heavenly Father and Jesus.† In 1995 the prophet Gordon B. Hinckley said ďI believe in the Holy Ghost as a personage of spirit who occupies a place with the father and son, the Holy Ghost is the testifier of truth.Ē
When are we given the Holy Ghost?
After we are baptized; when we are confirmed members of the church.† Part of the fourth article of faith says ďLaying on of our hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.Ē
Where can we feel the promptings of the Holy Ghost?
In our hearts and minds, at home, at school, at church or wherever we are when we choose the right.† We can not see the Holy Ghost, but he can help us to do what is right.† The Holy Ghost doesnít always speak to us in a voice we can hear.† Many times he gives us feelings of what we should do.
Why did Heavenly Father send the Holy Ghost to be with us?
To help and comfort us; to guide and warn us; to tell us what is true; to give us feelings of love and peace.† The Holy Ghost can help us before we are baptized and confirmed but after we receive this gift we may have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion.† This means as long as we do what is right, his influence can be with us always.
This is a gift for you, Emmah.† (Give the vase of ďWĒ Flowers)
Alivia printed this verse to read:
In cosing, I would like to bear my testimony that I know that this church is true and Thomas S Monson is a true prophet.† Iím so thankful for my husband, family, and my ward family.† Also, I want to give a special thanks for my uncles and aunts who are always there for me.† If know if Emmah will continue to choose the right and keep her baptismal promises, she will have the Holy Ghost to help her and her family.† I say this in the nae of Jesus Christ, Amen.

How To Save Serious Money On Your Student Loans
by Zack FriedmanWant to save money on your student loans?Here’s what you need to know.
Student Loans: 5 Tips To Save Money
1. Refinance student loans
Student loan refinancing is the most effective way to lower your student loan interest rate. Student loan refinancing rates have dropped absurdly low, and now start at 1.81%. When you refinance student loans, you combine your existing federal student loans, private student loans or both into a new student loan with a lower interest rate. That lower interest rate means you could save substantially each month on your student loans. That's real money back in your pocket.
This student loan refinance calculator shows you how much money you can save when you refinance student loans.
2. Have strong credit
Lenders want borrowers with strong credit and are willing to offer you a lower interest rate. With good credit, you are viewed as a responsible borrower and more likely to repay your student loans. Therefore, lenders view you as less of a credit risk. What’s the best way to increase your credit score? To increase your credit score, start with developing a strong payment history. That means paying on time and not skipping any payments. To refinance student loans, you will need a credit score of at least 650. The higher your credit score, the lower the rate.
3. Choose a variable interest rate
Federal student loans only offer a fixed interest rate. However, you can refinance student loans and receive a variable interest rate too. A variable interest student loan typically has a lower interest rate than a fixed rate student loan.
A fixed interest rate means that the interest rate will never change during student loan repayment. A variable interest rate means that your student loan interest rate may change during repayment. In a rising interest rate environment, a variable rate student loan can become more expensive. However, in a decreasing rate environment, a variable rate student loan can become less expensive.
4. Choose the shortest repayment term
Choosing a shorter repayment term is one of the smartest ways to lower your interest rate, save money and pay off student loans faster. For example, you will usually get a lower interest rate on a 5-year loan term than a 20-year loan term. While the monthly payment may be higher, the overall cost will be substantially less because you will save on interest costs.
5. Apply with a co-signer
If you have bad credit or don’t meet the qualifications to refinance student loans, you can apply with a qualified co-signer. A qualified co-signer can be a family member such as a parent or spouse with a strong credit score and income who assumes financial responsibility for your student loan, including for student loan refinancing. Your strong credit and income profile can help you get approved to refinance student loans and get a lower interest rate. Some lenders offer a "co-signer release," which means you can release your co-signer from financial responsibility for your student loan once you meet certain requirements.


Input Set Configuration
Input sets can be configured either from code, for example from a game state, or through the editor project settings.
The project settings mostly exist for convenience. They allow you to set up a fixed default input scheme, which is useful during development, and doesn't require custom C++ code. A finished game should allow the player to choose their own key binding, though.
From the Editor
Editor > Project Settings > Input Configuration... opens a dialog to configure the available input actions.
Using the New Input Set button at the top left, you can add input sets. These typically represent a certain state in your game. For example you may have one set for when the player character is by foot, and another input set for when they are steering a vehicle. Both input sets can use the same keys, but they may represent different actions. Since both states are mutually exclusive in the game, they don't clash. Each input component takes its input state from one specific input set.
Using the New Action button, you can add an action to the selected input set. Each action represents something that the player can do. You can then select a an input slot that triggers this action. Slots represent keyboard keys, controller buttons, voice commands, head movements and everything else that can be considered 'input'. The Scale value allows to adjust how strongly a slot activates the action.
The Time Scale option specifies whether the [0; 1] value of an action will be taken 1:1 from the input slot, or whether the value will be scaled by the amount of time passed between frames.
 For these actions time scaling has no use. However, an action like 'rotate left/right' should be something that is smooth and always the same speed, no matter whether the game runs at 30 Hz or at 60 Hz or wildly varies. Thus the value that is given to the game code should be scaled by the time that has passed between frames, such that applying the value to your character or vehicle will still result in a constant, smooth change.
Configuring Available Slots
The input slots that can be chosen in this dialog are listed in files located under Data/Tools/ezEditor/InputSlots
. If you want to expose new slots for a custom input device, you can just add a file there. At the moment the available slots are not automatically extracted from the plugins.
From Code
Input actions are registered through ezInputManager::SetInputActionConfig()
. The code below shows a game state that uses a helper function to quickly register a couple of actions.
static void RegisterInputAction(const char* szInputSet, const char* szInputAction, const char* szKey1, const char* szKey2 = nullptr, const char* szKey3 = nullptr)
{
ezInputActionConfig cfg;
cfg.m_bApplyTimeScaling = true;
cfg.m_sInputSlotTrigger[0] = szKey1;
cfg.m_sInputSlotTrigger[1] = szKey2;
cfg.m_sInputSlotTrigger[2] = szKey3;
ezInputManager::SetInputActionConfig(szInputSet, szInputAction, cfg, true);
}
void SampleGameState::ConfigureInputActions()
{
SUPER::ConfigureInputActions();
RegisterInputAction("SamplePlugin", "SpawnObject", ezInputSlot_KeyO, ezInputSlot_Controller0_ButtonA, ezInputSlot_MouseButton2);
RegisterInputAction("SamplePlugin", "DeleteObject", ezInputSlot_KeyP, ezInputSlot_Controller0_ButtonB);
}
Building a Key Binding UI
To build a UI where the player can select an action and then press a key to bind it to that action, have a look at ezInputManager::GetPressedInputSlot()
.
ezInputManager::GetAllInputSets()
and ezInputManager::GetAllInputActions()
enable you to build the UI for all known actions and sets.
For display purposes there are also ezInputManager::GetInputSlotDisplayName()
and ezInputManager::GetActionDisplayName()
.

LIVE FLESH (CARNE TRÉMULA)(director/writer: Pedro Almodovar; screenwriters: Ray Loriga/Jorge Guerricaechevarria; cinematographer: Affonso Beato; cast: Liberto Rabal (Victor), Francesca Neri (Elena), Javier Bardem (David), Jose Sancho (Sancho), Angela Molina (Clara), Penelope Cruz (Isabel), 1997 - Spain)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
It is a politically oppressive climate in the Madrid of the 1970s, with the dictator Franco in power.
The film flashes to 20 years later and we see Victor, and he seems to be a social misfit, angry and disappointed that the beautiful, druggie, Italian diplomat's girl Elena (Neri), the one he made love to (for him it was the first time he ever made love) in a public toilet a week ago, has broken her date with him because she thinks he is a jerk and a lousy lay. A disasterous evening follows, as he tries to force his way into her apartment to get an explanation for why she has rejected him, as cops are called to the scene, and he ends up shooting and paralysing one of the cops, David (Bardem). That is the cop Elena is immediately smitten with upon seeing him enter the room. The other cop, Sancho (Sancho), goads Victor unnecessarily into trying to wrestle the gun out of his hand and the gun goes off hitting David, causing the injury. Sancho, in response to the inward tension that was eating at him, suspecting his wife of cheating on him, took out his jealous hatred on the unfortunate Victor.
Victor is released from prison after serving 6-years, a time he spent bulking-up, reading the Bible, learning Bulgarian (that's a funny one!), and swearing he would learn how to make love to a woman.
Victor, upon his release from prison, immediately makes contact with and starts an affair with Sancho's wife (Angela). Her husband is the cop who caused his arrest.
He also finds that Elena is married to the paralysed cop, David, who is now a star basketball player on Spain's special olympic team. Elena cleaned up her act and is working as a director of a school, where he finagles his way into a job there since he is so naturally good around children. His motive in returning to see Elena, is to take her to bed and show her how he has become a good lay and to show her what she is missing by not being with him. The only problem with his strategy, is that she is not happy to see him.
There are too many coincidences for me to be wholly convinced that I am not being manipulated into accepting a story with a certain political agenda to it, but there are so many wonderful gripping and beautifully done scenes, that I found I was taken in by the relationships going on and curious about what would happen to these folks, and glad that Almodovar (Dark Habits, High Heels, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) has chosen to make a film this time that has a story that makes some sense. I found most of his other films to be basically sexually bizarre, with storylines that were not particularly lucid.
Clara, who is only a minor figure in this story, nevertheless, her story is the one that moved me the most. Her failed marriage and her need to be loved and love someone, was the most pathetic characterization in the film, outside of Victor's.
The strength in the film was in the showing of the strong erotic links to each of the main characters in the story through Victor's eyes. Elena showed that she could change from the strung-out druggie depicted in her first encounters with Victor, into becoming a respectable wife and do-gooder. Victor could become the lover he never was and find a way to redemption for his past injustices. His story is the most challenging one, and the one that is hardest to comprehend. He is symbolic of modern Spain.
Almodovar has shot a sophisticated film about characters who really develop character-wise and who are in-tune with the times they live in. Almodovar, by his intermingling of the past and the present with the strange mixture of politics and religion that changes with the times, has created a fascinating look at Spain in the 20th century. What he shows, are the diverse ingredients found in modern day Spain that makes his country so unique.
The closing optimistic scene of the politically new Madrid, the one without the ruthless dictator Franco, who died of a heart attack in his bed, is opposite from the opening scene of the oppressively sullen Madrid. This film is definetly one of Almodovar's more resolute efforts.

NOBODY'S FOOL A film review by Edwin Jahiel Copyright 1996 Edwin Jahiel
NOBODY'S FOOL (1994) *** 1/2 Written & directed by Robert Benton from the novel by Richard Russo. Photography, John Bailey. Editing, John Bloom. Production design, David Gropman. Music, Howard Shore. Produced by Scott Rudin and Arlene Donovan. Cast: Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Dylan Walsh, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Josef Sommer, Gene Saks, Philip Bosco. A Paramount release. 110 minutes. Rated R (severely so, for language and flash of nudity).
"Nobody's Fool" deals with a group of people in a small, upstate New York town called North Bath. The movie is in some ways the many-times-removed cousin of "Our Town." Unlike that film however, it does not give equal stress to everyone, but keeps an emphatic focus on Donald ("Sully") Sullivan, who is 60 but whom 70-year old Paul Newman plays without the least stretch.
Ages ago, Sully divorced his wife who still resides in North Bath with her second husband. Sully rents a room in the house of his grade-school teacher (the late Jessica Tandy in her last role) whom everyone calls Miss Beryl although she has a middle-aged son, a pinched banker.
Sully is a prole who has never lived a regular working stiff's life and probably has bummed around a little in North Bath, living from day to day. Now a bum leg keeps him unemployed after a fall from a scaffolding of the modest Tip Top Construction Company, whose boss Carl Roebuck (Bruce Willis) Sully keeps suing in vain.
"Nobody's Fool" is a rare movie for these days, as it delves on characters and relationships rather than action or major plot turns. Sully, happy-go-lucky, occasionally hard-drinking, always ready with a wisecrack or repartee, is liked by all who know him: by the judge (Philip Bosco) who rules against his lawsuits and later sends him to jail for assailing a vexatious cop; by his ineffectual lawyer (stage director Gene Saks) who has an artificial leg; by Miss Beryl; by his friend, handyman Rub (Pruitt Taylor Vince) who is his partner-employee in odd construction jobs; by the bar-lady of his regular haunt; by the police-chief...
Sully may be perpetually broke, but he is, as the old yet valid cliche goes, rich in friends, and quietly willing to help others and treat them decently. Behind Sully's surface simplicity lies a complex man.
Cleverly, this two-way liking is not goofy, smarmy or sentimental, but natural, subtle and taken for granted within an overall warm framework.
Better yet, in one of the script's many originalities, Carl and Sully, have been friends forever, and still are, in spite of trading disparaging remarks. They even belong to a regular group of poker playing that includes the chief of police. All the while Sully keeps stealing Carl's snow-blower which Carl keeps stealing back--all in good humor.
Carl is a Lothario who openly has affairs with his successive blonde secretaries. His wife Toby (Melanie Griffith) faces this with tolerant spunk and humor.
Events take a new direction when Sully's son Peter (Dylan Walsh) appears with wife and boys for a reluctant Thanksgiving dinner at his mother's. Peter, an English professor at the University of West Virginia, has professional troubles, marital woes, and a major grudge against his father whom he practically never saw.
Much of the film from now on will be about the rapprochement between Sully and Peter, a connection catalyzed by a wildly funny re-theft of the snow-blower by those two (families that steal together stay together?) and by Sully's interest in one of the boys.
The movie's dialogue is splendid, witty and sharp. It fleshes out the characters beautifully. These are real people with real talk -- not necessarily real-life talk, since, if the dialogue were of the authentic, tape-recorded type, its wasted words and hesitations would bring yawns to the listeners. But it is first-rate movie-real dialogue, a convincing simulacrum that walks the wire between the spontaneous and the convicingly concocted.
The acting is impeccable --and colorful -- throughout. Watching, in relatively small parts, Melanie Griffith ( not everyone's cup of tea) and Bruce Willis (unarmed for a change), is a joy, now touching, now amusing, now both. Watching Paul Newman (which means the entire movie) is vastly entertaining. Without copying himself, and in a semi-minimalist way, Newman is still the fellow who, though a loser in some respects, is sure of himself, brings to his roles a paradoxical touch of class and of purity, and can also do crazy things -- as in "The Hustler," " Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and elsewhere.
All this is in a perfectly realistic setting of a depressed town that had known much better times, as witnessed by some nice old buildings. Now both interiors and exteriors look run-down and grungy. Nothing is prettified, and winter (the time is between Thanksgiving and Christmas) makes things even worse with dirty snow and lack of cheerful greenery that would hide ugliness.
The many qualities of the film range from its basic premises to a host of well observed details, from hilarious to moving. Like a child afraid to approach the kindly lawyer who has an artificial leg. Like that leg being removed in a session of strip-poker. Like the near-total absence of touchy-feely scenes. Like the subtle correspondence of making Bruce Willis' secretaries akin to the dizzy dames portrayed by Melanie Griffith in several movies.
"Nobody's Fool" may fool some people into thinking of it as mainly a Paul Newman vehicle. That it is, but it is also a movie by Robert Benton, the writer of "Bonnie and Clyde," the writer-director of "Bad Company," "Kramer vs. Kramer," "Places in the Heart," and others--a man who has a wonderful eye and ear for ordinary people. And it is a film that also belongs to its technicians and to the great ensemble playing of its cast.

public interface StateInterrogation
A call to JDOHelper to get the status of an instance is handled internally if the parameter instance implements PersistenceCapable. For non-binary-compatible implementations, there is no requirement that persistent instances implement PersistenceCapable. Therefore, if the parameter does not implement PersistenceCapable, JDOHelper delegates to all registered instances of StateInterrogation until an instance can handle the request.
For JDOHelper isXXX methods, which return boolean, the
corresponding method in StateInterrogation returns Boolean. If the
return value is null
then the StateInterrogation does
not recognize the parameter as being handled by it. A non-null return
value indicates that the implementation has determined the answer.
For JDOHelper getXXX methods, which return an Object, each registered StateInterrogation is given the parameter until one of them returns a non-null value, which is passed to the caller.
For JDOHelper makeDirty, each
registered StateInterrogation is given the parameter until one of
them returns true, indicating that it has handled the call.
An instance that implements this interface must be registered with the
JDOImplHelper
.

Object getObjectId(Object pc)
Persistent instances of PersistenceCapable
classes
have a JDO identity
managed by the PersistenceManager
. This method returns
a copy of the
ObjectId that represents the JDO identity.
Instances unknown by the implementation return null
.
The ObjectId may be serialized
and later restored, and used with a PersistenceManager
from the same JDO
implementation to locate a persistent instance with the same data store
identity.
If the JDO identity is managed by the application, then the ObjectId
may be used with a PersistenceManager
from any JDO
implementation that supports
the PersistenceCapable
class.
If the JDO identity is not managed by the application or the data store, then the ObjectId returned is only valid within the current transaction.

boolean makeDirty(Object pc, String fieldName)
PersistenceCapable
classes are able to detect
changes made
to their fields. However, if a reference to an array is given to a
method outside the class, and the array is modified, then the
persistent instance is not aware of the change. This API allows the
application to notify the instance that a change was made to a field.
Instances unknown by the implementation are unaffected.
