In the second installment of this three-part tutorial, I explained the difference between mutable and immutable variables in Scala, and I showed the unusual way in which Scala operators can be modified. In this final article of the series, I focus on the way Scala works with expressions and pattern matching, the powerful implicit conversions, and Scala's smart way of avoiding problematic nulls. Finally, I dive into the powerful ways in which you can use Scala traits.
Working with Expressions Instead of Statements
Programming languages provide statements that execute code and don't return a value. Programming languages can also evaluate expressions that return values. In order to evaluate an expression, code must be executed; therefore, both statements and expressions require the execution of code. So the real difference between a statement and an expression is that the latter returns a value.
Scala provides an
if clause, and you can build
if blocks. In C#, the
if clause allows you to execute different statements according to the two possible results of evaluating a Boolean expression:
true or
false. In Scala, an
if block is an expression, so the
if clause evaluates a Boolean expression and returns one expression or another depending on the result of the evaluations:
true or
false. An
if block in Scala evaluates to a value.
As I explained in my previous article, the Scala Console in the Scala IDE makes it really easy to evaluate expressions and check the results. Let's move straight to the code and run some examples in the Scala Console. Enter the following expressions after the
scala> prompt, and the Scala Console will provide the results.
scala> val myResult = 300 if (myResult > 300) "More than 300" else "Less than or equal to 300" myResult: Int = 300 scala> res0: String = Less than or equal to 300
As you might notice, the Scala
if expression works the same way as the
?: syntax in C#. The following lines of code use the
?: syntax to produce a similar result in C#. In addition, it would be necessary to return
myString in the method in which the code is inserted.
const int myResult = 300; var res0 = myResult > 300 ? "More than 300" : "Less than or equal to 300";
In Scala, there is no need for the
?: syntax because of the way the
if expression works; therefore, you will always use the
if expression whenever you want to evaluate a Boolean expression. This makes code easier to read and reduces unnecessary boilerplate.
Working with Pattern Matching
The following C# code shows a simple example of a method that performs a pattern match and returns a message string based on the received parameter:
public string CreateMessage(int code) { var message = string.Empty; switch (code) { case 100: message = "One hundred"; break; case 200: message = "Two hundred"; break; case 300: message = "Three hundred"; break; default: message = "Unknown value"; break; } return message; }
The following Scala code defines a
CreateMessage method for an
ErrorHandler object that includes a simple pattern match. The pattern match uses the
match keyword and defines the only expression for the method that returns a
String. Notice that the code is simpler, easier to read, and doesn't require a temporary variable to return the result of the pattern match. As explained with the
if expression, the pattern match is an expression and returns a
object ErrorHandler { def CreateMessage(code: Int): String = code match { case 100 => "One hundred" case 200 => "Two hundred" case 300 => "Three hundred" case _ => "Unknown value" } }
The code is concise and expressive. The underscore works as a wildcard, so if the other case expressions don't match the value for
code, the pattern match will reach the
case _ expression and will return
"Unknown value." The
case _ is the equivalent to
default in C#. In Scala, you must use
=> for pattern match as in the example code, but you can also use
=> for defining closures.
The following lines show different ways of calling the
CreateMessage method and the results in the Scala Console. Notice that you can call the method without using either the dot (.) or the parenthesis.
scala> ErrorHandler.CreateMessage(100) res0: String = One hundred scala> ErrorHandler CreateMessage 200 res1: String = Two hundred scala> ErrorHandler CreateMessage 450 res2: String = Unknown value
Working with the scala.Option Class Instead of null
Scala provides the
scala.Option class in the standard library as a container of something or nothing, thereby, discouraging the use of null. Two elements in Scala extend
Some[T]is a class that represents some existing values of type
None: is a
caseobject that represents nonexistent values. It's an empty container.
The following lines of code show a new version of the sample
CreateMessage method defining the code parameter as an
Option[Int]; thus, the code might have either a
Some[Int] container or the
None empty container. The pattern match works with the result of
code.getOrElse(0). Because the
code parameter is defined as an
Option[Int], it provides the
getOrElse method defined in
Option , which retrieves the existing value in the container or returns the value received as a parameter when the
Option is representing an empty container (
object ErrorHandler { def CreateMessage(code: Option[Int]): String = code.getOrElse(0) match { case 100 => "One hundred" case 200 => "Two hundred" case 300 => "Three hundred" case _ => "Unknown value" } }
The following lines show how you can define a
mutableCode variable as an
Option[Int] and initialize it with an empty container (
None). When you call the
CreateMessage method with
mutableCode initialized to
code.getOrElse(0) will return
0, so the result will be
"Unknown value":
scala> var mutableCode : Option[Int] = None mutableCode: Option[Int] = None scala> ErrorHandler CreateMessage mutableCode res0: String = Unknown value
The next lines change the value of
mutableCode to a container that includes the
Int value
Some(100). This time, when you call the
CreateMessage method with
mutableCode initialized to
code.getOrElse(0) will return the contained
Int value,
100; therefore, the result will be
One hundred.
scala> mutableCode = Some(100) mutableCode: Option[Int] = Some(100) scala> ErrorHandler CreateMessage mutableCode res1: String = One hundred
Option also provides a
get method that attempts to access the value stored in the container and doesn't require any parameters. If you call
get for an empty container (
None), it throws an exception. According to your needs, you can use call
get or
getOrElse to retrieve the value in the container.
Named and Default Arguments
Scala 2.8 introduced two new features related to arguments that are similar to their counterparts in C#:
- Named arguments, also known as named parameters. You can specify the arguments based on the parameter names instead of the parameters positions.
- Default arguments, also known as default parameters. You can specify default values for method parameters.
A simple example will be enough to show you the Scala syntax for default arguments. The following lines define default values for the
Point3D class parameters and for the
move method.
class Point3D(val x: Double = 0, val y: Double = 0, val z: Double = 0) { def move(dx: Double = 2, dy: Double = 1, dz: Double = 0.5) : Point3D = new Point3D(x + dx, y + dy, z + dz) }
This way, you can create a new instance of
Point3D without parameters, and the initial values for
y, and
z will be 0:
val myPoint3D = new Point3D()
You can use named parameters to specify the value for just the
z parameter, and the values for the variables will be 0 for
x, 0 for
y, and 10 for
val myPoint3D = new Point3D(z = 10)
You can call the
move method without parameters and it will use the default values:
myPoint3D move()
Implicit Conversions with Tuples
Scala supports tuples that combine a fixed number of elements, which you can pass around as a whole. A tuple can include elements with different types. The following code defines a tuple with an
Int, and two strings using the shortcut that enables you to create a tuple by enclosing the elements in parentheses.
val tupleWith3Elements = (10, "String1", "String2")
Because the previous line defines a tuple with three elements, the actual type of the tuple will be
Tuple3[Int, String, String]. The following line is equivalent to the previous one, but it does not use the nice syntactic sugar:
val tupleWith3Elements = new Tuple3(10, "String1", "String2")
To access the elements of the tuple, you can use the different methods that start with an underscore (_) and continue with the element number, starting in 1. For example,
tupleWith3Elements._1 returns
10, and
tupleWith3Elements._2 returns "
String1," and so on.
As you might expect, if you create a tuple with two
String elements, the type of the tuple will be
Tuple2[String, String]. If you create a tuple with four
Int elements, the actual type of the tuple will be
Tuple4[Int, Int, Int, Int].
Tuple3[Double, Double, Double] would be good for holding the three values (
y, and
z) of
Point3D. In addition, a
Tuple3[Int, Int, Int] would be useful when the three values are integers. If someone asks you to allow the sum (+) method defined in the
Point3D class to work with a
Point3D, a
Tuple3[Double, Double, Double], or a
Tuple3[Int, Int, Int], your first idea might be to create three sum (
+) methods each with a different type in the parameter. However, if you do this, you will be creating three blobs of very similar code. Scala provides an elegant feature that enables you to use a single method and automatic type conversions to reduce this duplicate code: implicit conversions. With the usage of implicit conversions, you need only define a single piece of code for the sum (
+) method in the
Point3D class, and then declare the implicit conversions from the different tuples to
Point3D. The following code shows the sum (
+) method that receives a
Point3D as a parameter and returns a new
Point3D with the result of the sum operation:
class Point3D(val x: Double = 0, val y: Double = 0, val z: Double = 0) { def +(that: Point3D) : Point3D = new Point3D(x + that.x, y + that.y, z + that.z) }
The following code defines a new
Point3DImplicits object with two implicit conversion methods that start with the
implicit keyword and convert from
Tuple3[Double, Double, Double] to
Point3D and from
Tuple3[Int, Int, Int] to
object Point3DImplicits { implicit def Tuple2Point3D(value : Tuple3[Double,Double, Double]) = new Point3D(value._1,value._2, value._3) implicit def IntTuple2Point3D(value : Tuple3[Int, Int, Int]) = new Point3D(value._1,value._2, value._3) }
Now, you just have to make sure you add the following line to import the
Point3DImplicits methods so that Scala can perform the necessary type conversions:
import Point3DImplicits._
If you write the following lines, Scala won't find a sum (
+) method that accepts a
Tuple3[Int, Int, Int], but it will find the method defined in
Point3DImplicits that can perform the conversion from
Tuple3[Int, Int, Int] to
Point3D. Scala will use that conversion method and, once it has the
Tuple3[Int, Int, Int] converted to a
Point3D, Scala will use it to call the sum (
+) method. The same thing happens when you call the sum (
+) method with a
Tuple[Double, Double, Double].
val myIntTuple = (5, 10, 15) val myPoint3D = new Point3D(10, 8, 3) val myNewPoint3D = myPoint3D + myIntTuple val myDoubleTuple = (5.2, 10.1, 15.4) val myNewPoint3D2 = myPoint3D + myDoubleTuple
Obviously, there is an overhead introduced when Scala has to apply the implicit conversion, so it isn't a good idea to abuse the definition of implicit methods. However, implicit conversions are great for reducing the unnecessary duplication of code that performs the same action.

Zend Server 7 is here. This application platform for mobile and web apps includes the "all-new" (and no doubt shiny) Z-Ray, a piece of technology designed to give in-context visibility inside apps by showing in real time exactly what happens to construct each page.
"It helps developers write better code, detect and fix issues earlier, and collaborate with operations staff to resolve production problems faster," says the firm.
The concept here is that software teams get platform consistency across development, test, and operations, as well as automation of the release process, all of which remove inconsistencies and (in theory) improve quality and speed.
Zend CTO Zeev Suraski says that with Z-Ray, developers can immediately understand the impact of their code changes, enabling them to both improve quality and solve issues long before their code reaches production.
"In addition to the obvious benefits of this 'Left Shifting' — better performance, fewer production issues, and faster recovery times — using Z-Ray is also downright fun," he said.
The Zend Server platform implements a Continuous Delivery approach to developing PHP applications. The platform works with Continuous Integration platforms such as Jenkins and Configuration Management tools from Ansible, Chef, Puppet, and VMware, while automating all processes at the PHP application layer, including dependency management, packaging, configuration, deploy/rollback, scaling, and monitoring.
Zend Server 7 is available in three versions for operations and two versions for development.

Picture: The ditch on the left. A Walk That Never Happened... by madfrankie 26 Jan 2016 On arriving at the entrance to Raheenleagh Forest at T1529471417 A you will be confronted by security fences and signs giving notice of wind turbine construction, off-limits to the public. However, I could imagine a scenario whereby you might choose to hop over a ditch adjacent to the barriers, and furtively walk up the forest track, hoping to avoid security personnel. Using your GPS, you might then use those forest tracks to exit the forestry on its western edge and emerge onto open hillside. There would (most likely) ensue a squelchy ascent, initially through clumps of gorse, until you reached the saddle with Croghan Kinsella. Google Map's Satellite View would suggest continuing over the saddle for a short distance, over a fence, and then climbing a gate on your right. You'd walk on this track for a few minutes before taking a left turn which quickly brings you to the summit area. You'd probably walk around the rough ground to the left of the track for a bit, attempting to ascertain the summit, but you might well decide that the highest point was the ditch to the left of the track. Most likely, you'll retrace your steps, hoping to evade detection as you pass the construction works. But I couldn't say for sure. I drove straight home.

No one hereabout to ask re access so headed up a farm track for a short distance to a gate on the left. Crossed into field with electric fence and a few cattle. Avoiding the livestock and crossing three fields heading in the general direction of Croghan, passed by two small forests not visible on OS 62, and eventually met a really good track at T 11942 74029 C. This led uphill eventually beside a fence all the way to Croghan Kinsella. Now facing east headed down from Croghan to T 13605 73094 D, turned left here an a good forest track for a short distance to a T junction followed track up hill to right around Croghan East top. Just to the left of the track here is a small stony mound with some rottting old trees sticking out which I think is the highest point.

Jerramy Stevens, reported to have wed soccer star Hope Solo, was set to return to Tampa after release on domestic assault
Former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens was scheduled to arrive home in Tampa today after a trip to Kirkland, Wash., that resulted in an arrest and appearance in court on a charge that he assaulted U.S. soccer star Hope Solo.
A judge found no probable cause Tuesday and released Stevens, who had been arrested on charges of fourth-degree domestic assault.
Stevens was not in violation of his probation stemming from a marijuana charge in October 2010 and had applied for a travel permit to fly to Washington and return today, a spokesperson with the Florida Department of Corrections' Bureau of Probation and Parole Field Services said. Stevens told his probation officer he was supposed to be getting married, the spokesperson said.
Stevens, 33, was placed on probation through October 2013. This incident was the latest in a series of run-ins with the law for the former University of Washington football star.
Seattle's KING5-TV reported that Solo and Stevens were married Tuesday night, hours after they appeared in a Kirkland County courtroom. KING5 cited an anonymous source, a friend of Solo who said a small wedding ceremony took place near Snohomish, Wash.
On Thursday, Solo tweeted a photo of herself and Stevens smiling with "Sunny beautiful day seattle!"
Calls by USA TODAY Sports to Solo's agent and lawyer were not returned.
Police responded to a call by Solo's brother, Marcus, at 3:45 a.m. Monday in Kirkland. Both Solos said a party had been held at the house, and Marcus had used a stun gun on an unwanted guest. Police found Stevens, who appeared to be hiding, in a bedroom between the bed and the wall. Stevens said he had been sleeping on the floor during the party and was not hiding.
Stevens had dried blood on his shirt, according to the police report, and there were signs of an altercation in the bedroom. He told police he and and his fiancée had argued about whether they would live in Florida or Washington after their marriage.
Here is a timeline of Stevens' legal troubles:
June 2: Arrested on charges of second-degree assault armed with a deadly weapon and fourth-degree assault for engaging in a fight with a 17-year-old and stomping on the boy's face in Olympia, Wash. Then a senior in high school, he pleaded to a charge of misdemeanor assault.
July10: Tested positive for marijuana and served a day in jail.
July 27: Arrested on charges of sexual assault against a 19-year-old University of Washington freshman after a June 4 fraternity party. Numerous witnesses testified the woman acted as if she had been drugged at the party. Then a sophomore at Washington, he did not face a criminal trial for rape due to what the prosecutor said were confusing and conflicting statements. The victim filed a civil suit, which resulted in a settlement.
May 4: Cited for reckless driving and hit and run after crashing into a nursing home. The Washington junior pleaded guilty to hit-and-run and causing property damage and sentenced to 240 hours of community service.
April 3: Charged with reckless driving and driving while intoxicated after a traffic stop in Medina, Wash. Pleaded guilty to reckless driving, fined $1,000 and sentenced to two days in jail for violating his probation from the hit-and-run case.
March 13: Arrested in Scottsdale for suspicion of DUI, with his blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit in Arizona. Then playing for the Seattle Seahawks, he was found guilty in a court trial, subsequently sentenced to a short jail term and fined. The NFL also suspended him for a game.
March 20: Multiple complaints raised by residents in his Seattle-area condominium complex, including vomiting on their doors, leaving used condoms on the back porch and loud parties at all hours of the night, as reported by The Seattle Times.
Oct. 23: Arrested on a felony charge of possession of marijuana with intent to sell and posssession of drug paraphernalia in Tampa while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
March 3: Arrested and charged with felony battery for punching two bouncers in a Tampa bar.
Nov. 12: Arrested in Kirkland, Wash., on investigation of assault following an altercation that injured his fiancée, soccer star Hope Solo.

O say, can you see? Not so much really
New London — At 7:45 Saturday night, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a bulletin cautioning boaters that heavy fog would limit visibility in eastern Long Island Sound to less than one mile through most of Sunday.
But Saturday night's Sailfest fireworks still went on.
The fireworks that could be seen were much lower in the sky than normal and difficult to see from many traditional viewing locations. While crowds gathered at the waterfront, spectators began streaming out of the city long before the 20-minute-long show ended.
The fireworks were almost completely invisible from Fort Trumbull. Spectators could see the bottom of some of the explosions and a red glow behind the clouds.
At the city's south end, where hundreds of people normally gather to watch the annual fireworks display, the sidewalks were relatively empty and the streets fairly quiet.
The fog obscured the display at times, but other times the color of the fireworks flooded the sky. Crowds often cheered when the fireworks became more visible.
Sailfest Executive Director Barbara Neff said she spoke with Garden State Fireworks, the company who put on the display. The company then called the show's sponsors, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Foxwoods Resort Casino, who made the decision to go ahead with the show.
After the show Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation spokesman Bill Satti released the following statement: "The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation has been proud to be the sponsor of the annual fireworks during Sailfest weekend. For the last 20 years, we have been fortunate to have the weather cooperate, but unfortunately not this evening. The dense fog covering that dropped in over the past hour was beyond anyone's control, and truly unfortunate. We look forward to next year's festivities and good weather, to present to you once again the fireworks extravaganza that has been a tradition woven into the fabric of southern New England over the past two decades."
Leland Stewart and Maryellen Tudisco, who haven't missed a show in the past 21 years, were a little disappointed as they watched the fireworks in the fog. They laughed about how they had found a good spot for the fireworks — but then a tugboat blocked their view. After then they moved and the fog obscured their view. But they still were in good spirits and enjoyed Sailfest.
"We're going to make the best of it," said Stewart of New London. "The food is good as usual."
Sabrina Babey of Willimantic still enjoyed the show and said the fireworks looked like "colored lightning."
"Despite the fog, you can still see how the sky lights up with different colors like it's tie-dyed," she said. "It's like a magical wonderland."
Victor and Grace Olczyk of Colchester found the fireworks in the foggy weather disapointing, because they have enjoyed the fireworks for the past 15 years.
"I can call it phantom fireworks," he said with a smile.
Occasional rain
Earlier in the day crowds packed the city's waterfront area for the 36th Sailfest, as families and friends sampled treats from vendors, snapped photos or tried their hand at winning a prize from the carnival games.
By the late afternoon, folding chairs —in assorted colors and kid and adult sizes — lined the waterfront as people eagerly staked out viewing locations for the fireworks, As they waited, they passed the time talking to each other, watching the sights or tapping on their phones.
Jenni Sweeney, Cassidy Bianca and Ashley Lane, friends from Old Saybrook who attend college around the state and in Pennsylvania, had nabbed waterfront seats to the right of Custom House Pier.
The friends had enjoyed burritos and grinders from Sailfest vendors and were enthused for the evening's fireworks.
"I think the fireworks timed to the music are just so cool," said Sweeney.
The friends said Sailfest brings them together each year to relax and just talk.
"You don't really have anything to worry about," said Bianca.
Rain earlier in the day didn't stop Sailfest goers Donna and Gordon Belske of East Hartford. They had unloaded their car in New London around 1 p.m., when it began raining, they said. But after a picnic lunch in their car, the rain let up and they headed out to enjoy Sailfest as they had for the past eight years.
Donna Belske said she enjoys watching the fireworks shining over the Thames River at night from spots at Amistad Pier. "It makes a beautiful reflection," she said.
Susan and Doug Degrasse of Westbrook were optimistic about the weather for the evening's fireworks. Susan Degrasse said cheerfully that her umbrella breaking during the day — along with the afternoon's emerging blue skies — signaled that the weather would hold up.
"We love the fireworks," said Susan Degrasse. "They're the best around."
Fried food, boat rides
When a light rain started in the early afternoon, mothers covered their strollers and food vendors along State Street speculated about how long it would take for the weather to clear up. But the crowds seemed determined to wait it out, clustering under overhangs to finish their ice cream cones. Shortly after 2 p.m., the shower had passed and the sun was out.
Parents took advantage of the overcast morning before the rain began to fall. Children grinned behind the water falling from the whale's tail on The Parade, waiting for their parents to snap a picture. Teenagers skateboarded down the streets, headphones in their ears. Adults considered the ships — the Mystic Whaler and A.J. Meerwald, among others — docked at City Pier and offering one-hour sails for $20-25.
The smell of fried food permeated the waterfront and people lined the benches along the pier eating the standard festival foods — pizza, gyros, fried dough, corn dogs. But there were more unusual offerings sprinkled throughout the town: bacon with chocolate, jambalaya and Middle Eastern dishes.
Children begged their parents to participate in the carnival games and amusement rides that lined the waterfront. At a strongman game advertising that "Kids always win," a little boy made several attempts with the mallet and eventually won himself a light saber.
"Dude, good choice!" said the attendant. The boy's older sister stepped up and, after only two tries, earned a sword to defend herself from her brother's attacks.
Nearby, families lined for a turn on the giant slide. A girl with ringlets, whose mother also had an infant to look after, began to pout when she learned that she was just under the height limit to go alone. But her face lit up when the family behind them offered to go with her.
The Customs House Pier, which features a beer tent, attracted an older crowd. While most people surveyed the food options, one couple leaned over the pier and dropped crumbs down to a family of swans.
But as the rain began to pick up, the crowds left the pier to look for shelter. Even the swans seemed uncomfortable, shaking excess water off their bodies and grooming themselves with their beaks.

Engine emissions are the top issue with lawn equipment and are primarily caused by incomplete (in-efficient) burning of fuel and fuel additives. Two primary reasons for an efficient or in-efficient engine include; 1) engine design and 2) engine condition. Regarding condition; the second (likely bigger) pollution cause is from out-of-tune equipment. Clogged air filters, fouled spark plugs, old gas and dull blades all contribute to an in-efficiently running mower. The amount of unburned gas being spewed into the air can be substantial from something as simple as a dirty air filter. To go "green" try the following EPA suggestions:
Avoid Spilling Gasoline! - The overflow evaporates into greenhouse gases
Maintain Your Equipment - Keep your equipment tuned and sharp
Buy Mowers with Low "Air Index" Numbers or use Alternative Fuels like propane
Use Manual Tools - Try a manual reel mower for small lawns and a manual saw for small jobs instead of going straight for the chainsaw
Reduce Mowing Time - Try low-maintenance grasses and larger/faster mowers
Recycle Old Equipment - Do not use old, in-efficient equipment

STOCKTON - A man authorities believe was the target of a brazen midday shooting Thursday was stunned when he came out of his hiding place to see 30 shell casings lining the street where he was walking his dog an hour earlier.
STOCKTON - A man authorities believe was the target of a brazen midday shooting Thursday was stunned when he came out of his hiding place to see 30 shell casings lining the street where he was walking his dog an hour earlier.
The 20-year-old Latino man said he was walking west in the 400 block of East Lindsay Street between California and Sutter streets when the shooting occurred at 2:11 p.m., the second time in nine days gunfire has erupted on that block. The victim said two young black men approached him, one from the front and one from behind, before one of them opened fire.
The victim said he ran for his life, first toward a locked salon and then into a market, where he crouched behind a counter until police secured the scene. He was not injured in the shooting.
"He pointed the gun at me and said, 'Why you flinching? Why you flinching?' Then he just started shooting at me," the victim said. "I heard a lot of shots. I don't know how many. I just started panicking and running. I don't know how I didn't get shot. I'm lucky as hell to be alive."
A witness who asked not to be identified because she feared for her safety said the gunman was steadying a green bicycle with one hand and holding a handgun with the other. Police are seeking two people in connection with the shooting, both black men 18 to 19 years old who were wearing black hooded sweatshirts, authorities said. They initially believed there were two gunmen, and the victim may have been caught in the crossfire, but evidence suggests there was one shooter, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
Mai Hoang, a 28-year-old Stockton woman, said she was sitting in her car when she heard shots ring out nearby.
"It was scary," she said. "I put my head down when I heard the shots. I thought they were going to be shooting back and forth and I was going to die."
The victim said he hid next to an air-conditioning unit near the back door of the salon while his dog, an 11-month-old pit bull named Hippo, ran under the car Hoang was sitting in.
"I almost had to leave her there, but I thought, 'No, I can't leave her,' " the victim said. "I called her, and she ran to me."
The victim picked up his dog and ran to the market next door.
"We told him, 'No, don't come here,' because we were scared, but then he came in," a woman working at the store said. "A lady customer was telling him, 'Go back outside.' "
"I said, '(expletive) no. I'm not going back out there,' " the victim said.
Police placed 33 evidence markers on East Lindsay Street marking the locations of 30 shell casings and three bullet fragments. There were at least three bullet holes in an Acura parked outside the salon, which is across the street from a Women, Infants and Children center.
The shooting occurred at the precise location where a midday gunbattle left 22 shell casings in the street Nov. 27. Police believe two men exchanged gunfire with two other men in that shooting. One of the men was wounded and left a trail of blood on the sidewalk, but police were unable to locate him.
A number of other crimes have been committed within a small radius of Thursday's shooting, including shots fired Nov. 27 at Fremont Park and a murder Sunday at Oak and American streets.
"We've investigated several shootings, numerous street robberies and a homicide in that area," Silva said. "That area is one of our hot, prime areas in the city of Stockton, and our investigators will look into all these cases to see if this shooting is related to the surge of violence in that area."

day-to-day mothering
And so, you can imagine how excited I was when I received a prize Christmas gift this year: all our growing-up family slides made digital and put on a CD. Boy oh boy was I excited.
Within that treasure trove of pictures there are some that tell the story of my Mother when we were all young. And I am drawn to them.
But instead of leaving me satisfied, these pictures leave me wanting more. I want to know what my Mom was thinking in these pictures. I want more details of what she was like as a young mother. Sure, she wrote things about ME in a special book she gave me when I got married. She wrote books about Mothering filled with thoughts and ideas she had. But I don't know what she liked, or what she worried about, or how she felt inside, and I wish I did. I am left to wonder how she mothered us day-to-day...the funny things she did, how she talked to us, the stories she told, etc.
Was she kind of quiet and reserved as she seems in these pictures, or was she a spitfire?(In the above picture I personally think she was thinking: "wow, that Shawni could sure use a hair-wash...")
Had she dreamed of going to Egypt all her life before this next picture (pregnant with her seventh(??) child)? Did she crave traveling the world like I do?
How did it feel to be a Mother of such young children and to be a mission president's wife at such a young age (29). What did she do to mother us day-to-day when she was encumbered with 200 young missionaries as well as a young family?
How did she like traipsing around the world with seven (or more) kids in tow? Did she get frustrated? Did she just roll with the punches and enjoy the ride? Did it give her a rush like I know it would for me?
Did my little brother Noah like wearing that small red velour sailor suit??
How did she feel inside when she had her ninth baby? Did she put us all to work helping out or did she have a tough time prying that baby away from all of her adoring siblings? How did she wait up late at nights waiting for us teenagers to come home and then wake up with a newborn multiple times in the night?
Did she look forward to having babies as much as I did (it looks like she sure as heck did if she was adamant enough to pose for a picture with a fake doll as a baby...and get my Dad to pose with her).
Did she love her fake hairpiece as much as I do?
Sure, I could ask her all these questions and more, but chances are most of the details have faded into the outskirts of her memory by now.
So for my future kids I thought I would steal a great idea from my cyber-friend Julie (who is an amazing writer by the way, and who I think stole this idea from another cyber-friend), and write about things I do as mother, right now.
So, here you go, future versions of my children, in case you ever wonder:
I have taught you how to make cookies to a "t"...and you are all becoming quite good little bakers. I secretly hope you will make cookies and surprise me when I'm gone because I love them so much. (And often you do.)
I have a handful of "hiding places" where I keep a few cookies after we've made a batch so I can have some the next day. You have deftly found all my hiding places.
I'm trying to be better at teaching you to cook real food. Sometimes we make it into a game where we are the chefs on a cooking show and we are showing the audience how to chop vegetables and bring sauces to a boil just so. We make up our imaginary characters and tell about our imaginary families as we cook.
I check on you slumbering sweetly in your beds every single night before I go to bed. I can't resist having a look at your slumbering beauty and making sure you are breathing steadily before I can sleep.
I tell you how much I love your Dad to the point you get annoyed. But it's true. As much as I adore you guys, I try to always put your Dad first, and I think you like seeing that.
I love to read with you at night. It gets tougher and tougher each year because everyone is on such different levels, but I love it as much as you do...and you've realized that I'll read for longer if you play with my hair as we read.
I have a goal to play hymns on the piano each night after we tuck you in bed. Sometimes I'm good at it and sometimes I'm not but I loved it when my Mom did that when I was growing up. From your frequent requests I know you do too.
I hang maps all over the place in hopes that you will please love traveling and adventure as much as I do. I want us to travel the world together. (To understand why in the world I'm so adamant about this click here. I came from the blood of these two travel-aholics for crying out loud.)
I keep trying to get you to love Thai food as much as I do so I make it often. Even though you still turn your noses up at it I'm convinced that if I keep trying some day you'll fall in love.
Not much makes me happier than walking into your room and finding you kneeling in prayer or reading your scriptures...unasked.
I try to somehow weave my testimony into all that I tell you. I want you to know, more than anything else, that I love my Savior and that I'm trying to be like Him.
You never tire of begging for a dog, and I secretly wish we had one too. I'm just too tired to talk your Dad into it...yet.
I get very huffy when I'm mad. And I slam doors.
I always tell you I'm sorry when I cool down after getting mad. And I really am.
I cut our family's hair...sometimes for better...sometimes for worse. I even cut my own hair when I get sick enough of it.
I love beauty. I point it out every chance I get. I hope some day you will love it as much as I do.
Sometimes I'll dance to music with you (especially when we're trying to clean up dinner or do jobs on Saturdays) and you love it. I would never dance in front of anyone else but you...I'm a horrible dancer, and even if you have figured that out by now, you don't tell me so. (Thank you.)
I steal you away from school whenever I can and take you, individually, to lunch.
I have no problem pulling you out of school for a trip, or lunch, or family stuff...I love the motto my parents came up with when we traveled a bunch growing up: "Don't ever let schooling interfere with your education."
Having said that, your Dad and I totally stress doing your very best at school. I always talk to you about "Some day when you're at Wellesley College" (or Columbia or Stanford) and I have hung a Harvard flag prominently in your bedroom, Max. So far the brainwashing isn't seeping in and you're all claiming you'll go to BYU, which I certainly can't complain about. I love BYU. I just want you to know there are other options too.
I have "Fasting Club" with you on Fast Sundays before dinner to try to get you more excited about Fast Sunday and I love to hear what spiritual things you've learned or noticed in the last month.
I come to each of your classes and teach art masterpiece every month. I love art...and I love to be in your classrooms with you.
I used to have a goal to always come in and say prayers with each of you every single night. And I was good at it. But lately I've pulled back a little bit (at least on you older kids) because I want you to make it a habit on your own. It's sad for me but I know it's good for you. When we do say prayers together, though, we always link our arms together. I love hearing your prayers.
I don't get enough sleep. And sometimes you suffer because of it when it makes me grumpy. I'm sorry.
I wish you didn't have to go to school and that we could just hang out all day. Just me and you and Dad. Really. But I'm sure you wouldn't love it since when we ever have a day like that I make you clean out a cabinet or closet or two.
But, most importantly, I love you so much that sometimes my heart feels like it just may burst outside of me when I look at you....even when you have messy faces and sassy attitudes. (Although the attitude thing and things like dumping sand out of your shoes on the freshly mopped kitchen floor sure throw me for a loop ... but I always forgive you.)
Love, Mom

I love the photos!ReplyDelete
Goodness I love this to peices. I know exactly how you feel. Being a mother, a wife, and a King's daughter is the most amazing feeling ever! Oh and the pictures are just beautiful!ReplyDelete
Love, love, love the pics. I swear my mom had those same plaid pants in the first one! I loved what you shared, reminds me I've got to do better in my journal writing! I have an amazing Thai noodle salad recipe my kids ASK for. Here's the link:ReplyDelete
Actually, she has the BEST recipes, I haven't tried anything I didn't add to our menu!
WOW! That was beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes. I loved the pictures and reading about you as a mom. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
this is beautiful and WOW shawni, you look EXACTLY like your beautiful mother! and Elle looks like you, I can see that now from seeing you as a child! 9 kids is aLOT!!! we have 7 in my family ( I am the youngest). I always dreamed of having 5 of my own, but God only gave me two, I love seeing big families!ReplyDelete
and I totally want to steal this idea! HOwever, i do keep a journal for each of my girls and write in them often, so I do feel like they really will know me from those. I am on Savannah's 4th journal and Ava's 3rd one! I love doing them!
i LOVED this post and i LOVED when julie did hers too. i want to do this then but this has reminded me that i NEED to do this. my things would sound very different than both of yours though. i am learning that i am a very UNIQUE mother...not sure yet if that's gonna work out for me but i sure hope so.ReplyDelete
i love all of those sweet pictures! i think eli and tal look most like your dad...mostly eli. such a beautiful family and such a love of the gosple. i loved charitys post and i'm so glad that you shared that with us. it made me so happy! BTW, my brother in law laid the hardwood floor in that house. :)
Shawni this post brought me to tears. I just love your insights and your reflection on your own mother. I often have those same thoughts about the reality of my own mother's day to day and how it impacted her.ReplyDelete
You continue to inspire me to be a more engaged and conscious mother!
You and your family are simply amazing, Shawni! Thanks so much for being such an inspiration and sharing your life, soul, and testimony with so many of us!ReplyDelete
Shawni- this post choked me up a bit. I simply think you are an amazing mother and person. I'm grateful to know you :)ReplyDelete
oh man do i know how you feel about wanting to know what what going on inside your mothers head.ReplyDelete
i adore all the pictures. has anyone ever told your mom she looks like maria shriver? i love her.
some day i'm going to get back to regular blogging. thanks for reminding me how important it can be.
I loved reading this post! I would love to hear about your Fasting Club.ReplyDelete
you rule shaucer. love you. eli.ReplyDelete
This is such a great post! I read your blog everyday but I don't comment much... I love your writing and I love the way you love being a mother. Thanks for making me smile everyday!ReplyDelete
When I did this a few months ago on my birthday, I vowed to do it every year from now on. I said the exact same thing, I want my kids to remember the "me" I know they won't. The "me" when I was a young mom and the mom they're sure to forget. I can't wait for me and them to see "my mom" list year after year and enjoy the memories they bring to the surface. I wish I had an insight to my mom from my childhood. At least we have pictures though...yours are sure great. I got a bunch of slides from my father-in-law as a child put on CD's a few years ago. Isn't it amazing to have COLORED pictures of some one born before color photography was really around? Hopefully I'll read another list of yours in a year-it was a lovely list!ReplyDelete
Such a beautiful post. I think kids these days will have more day-to-day record of who their mothers were thanks to blogging and the many mom's who do so. The pictures of your Mother are so sweet. Such good questions you have about her life then. Makes me see I need more pictures of my Mom during my childhood.ReplyDelete
I stumbled across your blog and the posts I've been able to read - really move me. I love your style of expression.
I absolutely adore this idea. How I wish my mom had done this too. I think when I was little I didn't even realize my mom was an actual person with thoughts, and feelings and dreams. She was just THERE all the time. I think this is so important and will have to do this for my children.ReplyDelete
Can you be more inspirational?
I don't think so.
And also...the photo of your family with the new baby...on the left I am assuming it's your brother? He looks exactly like your son!
Perfect. A perfect post. You are such a balanced and passionate mother. You can tell you truly enjoy it. I think about how my mom did it too and wish she had documented her thoughts...and I think blogging helps share some of that. Your blog inspires. Thanks.ReplyDelete
I also don't comment often...trying to do better.
This is such a beautiful idea! Thanks so much for sharing it all!! What is a fasting club?ReplyDelete
I'm going to write in my journal right now. I loved the idea and your writing is just perfect, as always.Thanks.ReplyDelete
the velour sailor suit...laughing out loud. Loved all the pictures and the way you mother. even though your plate is so full you find ways to make things special...I envy that. I love how you express what being a mother means to you. I feel the same way but can never get it down the wya you can.ReplyDelete
wow! I just want to say something completely shallow... Your mom is absolutely beautiful and timeless. Her clothes and sense of style, perfection! Shallow, huh? I am so inspired by your family in every way. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I just found your blog recently and love your insight into motherhood...this was a beautiful post, thank you! I need to be better about journaling and having fun traditions with my children.ReplyDelete
your folks were so cute!! I've got a few photos of them at Utah State when they were single...CUTE & THEY STILL ARE!! I'm loving following their travels...their experiences in India with your brother and his wife...AMAZING!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this post. I am a young mother of an almost 2 year old daughter with blond bouncing curls. I often feel so inadequate in being trusted to be her mother. I love looking to other more experienced mothers for guidance as I "become" a mother. Your home is what I hope to make mine. Thank you for your inspiration.ReplyDelete
I think my mom had those same pants too! What a great post this is...loved what you wrote and all the pictures. I too wish that I knew more about my mom while she was mothering (only 4 kids to your moms 9!)What were her day to day struggles, did she have a close group of girlfriends to lean on. I gave both of my parents a book for Christmas called Legacy. It basically is writing the story of your life...someday when they are done it'll be a great read for me and my children!ReplyDelete
Great post! Are you taking some magic pill that helps you stay up late to get everything done? If so, I want in! I can't seem to write or get things done like you! Great idea though to document how you are as a mother. Did you decide on your camera?ReplyDelete
What a lovely post. What a lovely legacy to leave to your children. On a side note, I realised I need to make more of an effort to have photos with my children....because I can see how much joy you get from seeing photos of your mother all you kids.ReplyDelete
Gosh, your mother was GORGEOUS!ReplyDelete
A lovely post.
A few years ago, My mom filled out journals for my sister and I, filled with all sorts of questions about her and her life before us. It is one of my most treasured items.ReplyDelete
I am inspired by your post...We assume our kids know all of these things about us - they're are our shadows and all! But it's so true that I don't remember those little things from my youth.
Thanks for sharing such sweetness!
Love this idea. And I love thisReplyDelete
"Don't ever let schooling interfere with your education."
Because I too will pull my kids out for whatever reason.
I also cut our hair- I have no idea why.
Thanks for the reminder to get it all down.
This is so fabulous! I think I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for such a great idea!ReplyDelete
God's blessings,
Sarah :D
Wonderful post Shawni. I feel the same way about my m other and my memory.ReplyDelete
Loving your blog. I read "A Mothers Book of Secrets" while waiting in line to pick up my kiddos from school one week and absolutely fell in love with the photography as well as the sentiment and thoughts. I put little sticky notes on pages so that I would remember to give "this and that" a try in my own family. I have bought that books a least 20 times over (seriously) and given it along with my baby shower gifts (Deseret Book loves me). Just curious, what kind of camera do you use or recommend? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and photos.ReplyDelete
Ok, you are my new favorite blog. Don't tell the others.ReplyDelete
WOW - what an inspiring post - how can you handle being so wise :) Love the photos - so precious!ReplyDelete
Shawni, you are amazing! What a treasure this is! How could I be so blessed to be your mother?ReplyDelete
Shawni, you are amazing! What a treasure this is! How could I be so blessed to be your mother?ReplyDelete
Just discovered your blog this week and would like to say thank you. I'm inspired :)ReplyDelete
Um wow. YOu're my new mom inspiration.ReplyDelete
Keep rockin the good stuff!!
I read this way back when, and came back to it through another post today. This description of your mothering style is so real and so beautiful. I want to do this... And I want to be a mom like you.ReplyDelete

Liberal politicians with an agenda are a danger to our nation. Gun control is a major agenda for liberals. They want people to believe gun-free zones are the safest place to be.
New York has pushed through a new gun law. New York liberals are looking to put one of their own in the White House. Anyone can see that their governor, Andrew Cuomo, has the White House in his sights.
Politicians never want to confront one of the real problems: mental health. Meanwhile, guns were not involved in some of the worst mass killings, such as the Oklahoma City bombing.
Our president said his daughters are surrounded with men with guns to protect them. The key word is "protect." Do those men carry guns in gun-free zones?
It's doubtful that we'll ever know why our lawmakers won't put enough bite in laws directed at crimes in which guns are used.
Many candidates' political ads at election time proclaimed "I'm pro-gun." Now we'll see who is and who isn't.
Bans won't ever work. We see how bans involving illegal drugs have worked.
If 25 people were killed tomorrow with a machete, would we ban machetes?
We could ban every gun and piece of ammunition and we still would not stop violent crime. All we would do is play into liberals' hands.
A person can build a gun with a piece of pipe. Do we ban pipe?
Where is the middle ground?
