Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 1.2.1
Fix Version/s: 1.2.1
Component/s: Injection and Lookup
In OmniFaces we're using a producer method with the following signature:
public <V> ParamValue<V> produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
Injection then takes place into a bean as follows:
@Inject @Param private ParamValue<String> text1;
@Param is a qualifier with only non-binding attributes.
See RequestParameterProducer and Param
This works in all versions of Weld that we tested on and in OpenWebBeans 1.1.8 (TomEE 1.5.2.). Unfortunately it does not work with OpenWebBeans 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT (TomEE 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT).
The problem seems to be that 1.2.1 has added an additional check in org.apache.webbeans.util.GenericsUtil.satisfiesDependency that wasn't there before:
return ClassUtil.isSame(injectionPointRawType, beanRawType)? isAssignableFrom(injectionPointType, beanType): false;
The problem is with isAssignableFrom, because the producer is always seen as producing a ParamValue<Object. The actual values at the point of evaluation with the above given injection example where:
injectionPoint = ParamValue<class java.lang.String> beanType = ParamValue<class java.lang.Object>
Those are not directly assignable so the injection fails.
Is OmniFaces doing something wrong here, is this check to strict, or should the producer type not be seen as ParamValue<Object>?

should work already. usially we trigger an owb + tomee deploy immediately after such Bugfixes.
Okay, I'll wait with testing then till it's fully ok.
Do you by chance have any idea how long it typically takes for a new TomEE 1.6-SNAPSHOT to incorporate the latest OWB 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT? We have some users who are very eager to run OmniFaces on the TomEE 1.6 snapshots and if possible we would like to hold off our release until a TomEE 1.6-SNAPSHOT is available that is capable or running OmniFaces 1.6.
We've now switched back to the CDI-1.0 approach which is also the intended one. An error was introduced in the CDI 1.1 spec which is to be reverted in the future. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-389 for more information.
The valid way to write this should be
public <V> ParamValue<V> produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
I've just need to also fix the generics rules for Delegates.
Can you please verify the latest version from trunk?
Arjan, thanks for your feedback as well! It is really important for us to learn which use cases do not yet work well with OWB.
OWB-1.2.1 is CDI 1.0 with all the stuff of CDI-1.1 internally. There is a cdi11 module which repackages OWB to provide CDI 1.1 APIs for allowing us to run the CDI 1.1 TCK.
There will be an owb-2.0 branch once we find more time to work on it. As has been with CDI 1.0: OWB will provide a meaningful implementation which satisfies the users needs. And I bet the Weld team will have open ears if our approach is working.
public ParamValue<?> produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
This is imo actually disallowed by the CDI spec (both 1.0 and 1.1). There are a few things which are easily overlooked:
3.1: "If the managed bean class is a generic type, it must have scope @Dependent. If a managed bean with a parameterized bean class declares any scope other than
@Dependent, the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error."
3.3: "If the producer method return type is a parameterized type, it must specify an actual type parameter or type variable for each type parameter.
If a producer method return type contains a wildcard type parameter the container automatically detects the problem and treats it as a definition error."
We face exactly the same issues with Weld 2.x over in DeltaSpike. See
Mark, thanks a lot for your thorough reply.
The CDI-1.0 spec is defined for [...] what does happen if the injection point type is generic but the bean type is raw or unbound.
And there's the generic method producer of course. So for the producer there are three options:
public ParamValue produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
public ParamValue<?> produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
Generic method with type parameter:
public <V> ParamValue<V> produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
But there is no way with the current wording to do it the other way around:@Inject Stable<Horse> horseStable; @Inject Stable<Pig> pigStable;
with a single producer method @Produces <PET> Stable<PET>
Indeed, with both CDI 1.0 and CDI 1.1 this seemingly obvious thing seems to be impossible. Despite not being specified, for CDI 1.0 implementations using the "hack" where the producer returns a raw type seems to work with Weld, OpenWebBeans and CanDI. Unfortunately for CDI 1.1 implementations this doesn't work, as Weld 2.0 doesn't work with it.
If it would be only me, then I'd really ditch this paragraph again and do it properly, which means we need to introduce a multi-pass approach as this imo prevents us from providing such a 'generic' producer method which takes the type info from the InjectionPoint.
There are probably some intricate details I'm not aware of, but that sounds really good to me. Unfortunately Java EE 7 was just released and it thus will be a long time for a new CDI 1.2 will see the light of day. For utility libraries or applications that need to be compatible with CDI 1.0, 1.1 and the upcoming 1.2 it will be really hard if not impossible to have a single producer method that works on all 3 versions.
Is OWB 1.2.1 btw going to be a CDI 1.1 implementation, or still a CDI 1.0 one but with some 1.1 semantics?
I'm currently working on a few tests in this area.
The CDI-1.0 spec is defined for
- generic bean type is assigned to generic injection point type
- generic bean type is assigned to raw or unbound (erased) injection point type
but it does say nothing abou the other way around: what does happen if the injection point type is generic but the bean type is raw or unbound. In
OWB-1.1.x we just allowed this scenario and did the cast as the JVM would do it native: just assign the value user and if the generic type does mismatch a ClassCastException would be thrown at runtime anyway. But in this case the producer method has at least the possibility to evaluate the InjectionPoint and perform the right thing.
Now the bad part: in CDI-1.1 some folks (who didn't like to listen to me when I explained it to them) introduced that additional part:
"A raw bean type is considered assignable to a parameterized required type if the raw types are identical and all type parameters of the required type are either unbounded type variables or java.lang.Object."
With other words:
@Inject Stable<?> stable; would work if there is a @Produces Stable<Horse> method.
But there is no way with the current wording to do it the other way around:
@Inject Stable<Horse> horseStable;
@Inject Stable<Pig> pigStable;
with a single producer method @Produces <PET> Stable<PET>
got me?
If it would be only me, then I'd really ditch this paragraph again and do it properly, which means we need to introduce a multi-pass approach as this imo prevents us from providing such a 'generic' producer method which takes the type info from the InjectionPoint.
This could be done by introducing a measuring approach as it's implemented in the JVM at compile time (resp the bridge method stuff at runtime): if there is a @Produces Stable<Pig> then this would take precedence over the unbound @Produces <PET> Stable<PET>.
To make matters even more complicated, CanDI (Resin 4.0.36) does not allow generics in producer methods at all. Period. It gave me the following exception:
classpath:META-INF/caucho/app-default.xml:55: javax.enterprise.inject.InjectionException: 'public org.omnifaces.cdi.param.ParamValue org.omnifaces.cdi.param.RequestParameterProducer.produce(javax.enterprise.inject.spi.InjectionPoint)' is an invalid @Produces method because it returns a generic type class org.omnifaces.cdi.param.ParamValue<produce_T_0>
Given the spec and above referenced CDI issue I don't think this is quite right, but it does make things really difficult at this point.
So either we implement it spec conform or we implement it the way that it works for you
Just wondering, is there already a decision made about this?
Sorry, also forgot to mention that the generic producer method public <V> ParamValue<V> produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) works in Weld 2.0.0SP1. The super method areActualTypeArgumentsMatching in above code fragment is called then which eventually calls org.jboss.weld.resolution.EventTypeAssignabilityRules.isAssignableFrom(TypeVariable<?>, Type), where beanType is "V":
protected boolean isAssignableFrom(TypeVariable<?> requiredType, Type beanType) { return isTypeInsideBounds(beanType, EMPTY_TYPES, requiredType.getBounds()); }
This will return true.
As Weld 2.0.0SP1 represents the spec final version (passed the TCK, which is never complete of course), will the behavior still change here following the spec discussion?
At the moment I'm not 100% sure whether I should change OmniFaces back to the generic producer (which worked on OWB 1.8.1 and Weld 1.x + 2.x) before I look into Romain's suggestion.
p.s. this last rule was actually mentioned in the spec issue that I mentioned above (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-304).
After some digging I found the following method in Weld 2.0.0sp1 in the class org.jboss.weld.resolution.BeanTypeAssignabilityRules:
@Override protected boolean areActualTypeArgumentsMatching(ActualTypeHolder requiredType, Type[] otherActualTypeArguments) { if (requiredType.getActualTypeArguments().length == 0) { /* * A parameterized bean type is considered assignable to a raw required type if the raw types are identical and * all type parameters of the bean type are either unbounded type variables or java.lang.Object. */ return isArrayOfUnboundedTypeVariablesOrObjects(otherActualTypeArguments); } else if (otherActualTypeArguments.length == 0) { /* * A raw bean type is considered assignable to a parameterized required type if the raw types are identical and all * type parameters of the required type are either unbounded type variables or java.lang.Object. */ return isArrayOfUnboundedTypeVariablesOrObjects(requiredType.getActualTypeArguments()); } else { return super.areActualTypeArgumentsMatching(requiredType, otherActualTypeArguments); } }
Because of the second if the workaround with the raw return type of the producer doesn't work on this particular version of Weld; it only works if the injection point in my example is declared as ParamValue<Object> or ParamValue<?>, but it was declared as ParamValue<String> and thus it fails.
So unfortunately, this is again a different rule than Weld 1.x, OWB 1.8.1 and OWB 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT use.
ParameterizedType which could match your need.
Cool, thanks a lot for the pointer Romain! I'm sure going to study that thoroughly!
The result of the discussion was, that the spec is broken. So either we implement it spec conform or we implement it the way that it works for you
Hmmm... tricky indeed. As I mentioned, by letting the producer return a raw type I got it working for me, but others might stumble upon the same issue. Especially since it did work on older TomEE releases and on the current JBoss etc ones. Since I'm still a CDI novice I can't say for sure how common a generic producer method really is in practice.
FYI: here is an extension https://github.com/rmannibucau/cdi-converters/blob/master/src/main/java/com/github/rmannibucau/converter/internals/ConverterExtension.java registering ParameterizedType which could match your need.

I just stopped the work on that issue to wait, which way will be gone by the spec.
i'll wait Arne confirm it but i got the same issue.
personally i added custom beans through AfterBeanDiscovery with type implementing ParameterizedType
Thanks for the very quick reply Romain!
Arne worked on it with CDI expert group and trunk should be aligned on CDI spec.
In other words, OmniFaces is doing it wrong and it should not have a generic producer method?
You can easily workaround it using a custom extension and registering these objects as beans (see deltaspike which can help too with its BeanBuilder)
I'm not exactly sure how that would work, but I think I just found another workaround by making the producer method use raw types. Typically I consider raw types something to be avoided, but they seem to do the trick here:
public ParamValue produce(InjectionPoint injectionPoint)
The following spec issue inspired this solution: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-304
If you're absolutely sure that OWB is doing the right thing here and generic producer methods are simply not legal, then you can close this issue
(p.s. for some reason text formatting doesn't work in the description of an issue here, but it does work in comments)

Contemporary knowledge about God, Evolution, and the meaning of human life.Methodology of spiritual development.
To Understand God/God is Love and Loves Us, As for Us, Do We Love Him?
In this case, it is not about an intellectual decision, the decision of the mind, "I will love God!", even though such a decision would be correct. No, I am talking about the emotions of love, about longing to meet, embrace one another, and become One with Him.
Those who do not have a developed spiritual heart do not even want to accept that God is cognizable! Moreover, these people can become angry at hearing that God can really talk and that one can talk with Him!
But everything "falls into place" when one begins to develop oneself as a spiritual heart.
I repeat that God is the Sum Total of all the Perfect Ones, and They all happily respond to our sincere heart love with Their Love!

The environment
Apartment first line of the sea. Located on the fourth floor, which ensures a great view of the amanceres and sunsets over the Atlantic horizon. Sleep only the murmur of the waves is heard.
Bajamar is a small coastal town in the north of Tenerife, which belongs to the municipality of San Cristobal de la Laguna that has been classified as a World Heritage Site, where it enjoys a mild climate throughout the year. It is a quiet area, a place of rest and relaxation, which has magnificent natural pools of free public access. In addition there are some enormous choice of restaurants with fresh fish and typical Canarian food, of high quality and balanced prices.
It is also near signposted to know the mountains of Anaga with the native flora of these islands trails.
It is well connected by road to the rest of beautiful people, cities of the island and the National Park Las Canadas del Teide (highest peak in Spain) and an exceptional volcanic landscape.
Bajamar offers car rental, as well as the possibility to use public transport near accommodation.
The apartment is bright and quiet, has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a great room and a good terrace. A place to enjoy fresh air without pollution and noise, a place to relax, and the possibility of a variety of activities in a mild climate, this certainly is your destination.
Activities and attractions
It is an area that allows various sports: hiking, surfing, mountain, trail, swimming, etc. And not far from charming towns such as La Laguna and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, etc. that certainly worth a visit.
We stayed at these wonderful apartments for five months. They are right beside the sea and at the edge of the Anaga mountains. The north of Tenerife is lush and green with brilliant coloured flowers, shrubs and trees. It is nothing like the arid south. The apartment was very spacious, spotlessly clean, the kitchen very well equipped, there were plenty of towels and bed linen. The beds were lovely and comfortable and there is secure parking for your car. Carmen the landlady is an angel, she was always friendly and caring. She invited us to visit the food market in Teguise and brought me up to Anaga Park. We saw Carmen once a month, she would correspond with us by email to arrange the visit, as she lived in another town. On our arrival, she met us at the apartment , with an eight litre bottle of water, pastries and a bottle of wine. We were very grateful after our long journey.
The apartment was like a home from home. We had television with many english speaking stations, as well as spanish and german. If you want somewhere far from the pumping music and noise of the tourist locations, this is the place to go. The people of Bajamar are very easy going, so just sit back and relax. There are a plenty of restaurants and cafe's in the town.
There is an excellent pool for litttle children and a play area outside the apartments.If you want to soak up the sun, there is a swimming pool on the roof . I preferred to be down by the big natural pools on the sea front. Its heaven to sit at the bar beside the pools and have an ice cold beer and watch the 'dancing waves' or the sunset. They do a delicious 'Americano sandwich', sardines, gambas and calamari. The barman is very pleasant and speaks good English. The more adventurous may prefer the super surfing, but we preferred to simply watch them catch one wave after another.
For daily items go to the Mercado behind Sandra's clothes shop (lovely stuff inside) We enjoyed going to the La Posada bar/restaurant at least 15 times for their local dishes of chicken, rabbit, goat, ribs, octobus etc. Another recommendation is the hairdresser's, it's nearly opposite the benches, just under Pizza Java, Lourdes is the young hairdresser. She's fantastic at styling and coloring , it's best to make an appointment.
There is a post office, bank and and pharmacy The local bus runs every half hour to La Laguna , Santa Cruz and all points in between. (€1.15 with a bonobus ticket).
We had a really good time staying in Bajamar. The apartment is very spacious and clean and you can enjoy a beautiful view on the sea. Bajamar is not very touristy, thus restaurants are cheap and it is not too crowded. We really recommend the place.
Appartement confortable et bien équipé. Emplacement idéal avec vue sur la mer. Les piscines d'eau de mer sont au pied de l'immeuble avec un accès direct.
Bajamar est un endroit parfait si vous voulez éviter les touristes et profiter de la nature.
Très bon accueil!

Friends and leave it to beaver are two of the most popular television shows of all time. The number of episodes of each show are consecutive even integers whose sum is 470. If there are more episodes of Friends, how many episodes of each were there?
Let x = The number of Leave It to Beaver episodes. The number of Friends episodes would then be x+2. Set up this equation: x+(x+2)=470. Simplify the left side: 2x+2=470. Subtract 2 from both sides: 2x=468. Divide both sides by 2: x=234. Therefore the number of Friends episodes is 236 and Leave it to Beaver is 234.

Behind the Scenes of the Glenn Beck Show: Black Conservatives
Thursday, November 19, 2009
I have waited a week, but I am now back to discuss my participation as an audience guest on the Glenn Beck Show, the show about Black conservatives. I gave a sneak peek previously, which you can read here.
I have received quite a bit of feedback about the show, most of it very positive. Having experienced it on Thursday, I was intrigued by what I saw when it aired on Friday. It was interesting to see how things looked after the editing.
Last week, I acknowledged that I had been frustrated while at the show, and I stated I was curious to see how they would pretty it up for airing. Why did I say that?
Well, even those who commented about enjoying the show stated that we appeared to be a lively bunch. That's the understatement of the year. Indeed, we were a raucous crowd. Glenn Beck even kindly scolded us.
Many have touched base with me via email, Twitter, and Facebook, asking for my overall impression. What was it like to be there? What was Glenn Beck like? What went on behind the scenes?
First, Glenn Beck told us before the taping began not to be shy. "Raise your hands so we can get the mic to you. If you want to say something, now's your time to be heard." I was just hoping I wouldn't lapse into shy and never open my mouth. No worries. The show had barely started when I wanted to say something. So did Maria of My Voice on the Wings of Change and Clifton of Another Black Conservative. Our hands went up, and up, and up, but the guy with the microphone didn't head in our direction. Sitting in the back might have had something to do with it, but it was, like I said, frustrating, especially when some of the same people were speaking over and over. A lot of that was edited out, so you really didn't get to see what I mean.
I found the story of Charles Payne of Fox News fascinating. What he shared is, in my opinion, a major part of what's plaguing the Black community. He shared how as a child growing up in Harlem he was picked on, called "sell-out," and made fun of because he spoke well, longed to be a businessman, and wanted a brief case. To those around him, this meant he wasn't Black enough. Again, this is a problem in our community. If one doesn't subscribe to a certain way of life, he or she is attacked for "trying to be White." When the guy next to me stated that Payne wasn't picked on because of the way he spoke, but was picked on because he was perceived as weak, the audience exploded. Charles responded rather passionately, saying he was not weak, and then actually yelled that unless Black people own up to our issues, we will never get beyond them. I totally agreed with him. My hand went up, however, because I agreed with both men. I agreed with Charles that he was considered a sell-out because of his manner of speaking and aspirations, and I agreed with my left-shoulder neighbor that Charles was perceived as weak. And I stress the word perceived. This perception was not any fault of his own, as I see it. He was perceived as weak in the Black community because many of our values are screwed up. He was perceived as weak because some of our young people are growing up believing that those who aspire to greatness in academics or business are selling out. He was perceived as weak because too many believe that using proper English or carrying a brief case means you've lost your Blackness. The bottom line is he was perceived as weak because the tool we use to measure weakness and strength is broken.
I never got to say that.
I was disappointed that we spent about 15 minutes (much edited out) discussing whether or not we should be called Black or African-American. After 5 minutes, I thought, "Look, if what we call ourselves is our biggest challenge, we're doing pretty good." The truth is we have bigger fish to fry. My perspective was simple: once we figure out what to call ourselves, can we move on to the business of what to do with ourselves? We are a people of unlimited potential, and we descend from ancestors who displayed incredible faith, perseverance, and work ethic. Let's understand that we must continue in those same qualities. Let's understand that liberalism undermines those qualities. Liberalism is, without a doubt, an insult to our history and a detriment to our future.
I was also surprised at how many people--conservatives--had voted for President Obama. Even Charles Payne said he did--and that he did it for people like Dr. King, Rosa Parks, and all those who came before and battled racism. What an interesting way of looking at things. That created a stir in the crowd. Those of us in the back seemed to be adamant that it was a lame reason to vote for someone. Too much was on the line to vote based on color. Even Dr. King said one ought to be judged, not by color, but by character. I do respect Mr. Payne's honesty, however.
Then I got upset when the gentleman next to me and the one in front of him dissed Sarah Palin, calling her dumb. The guy next to me even called her a stripper. They had no idea they were sitting near a true Palin supporter. But they found out in a New York minute! Needless to say, I had some words for these gentlemen. By the time I left the studio, one of them apologized for insulting the governor's intelligence and agreed that now she has the opportunity to show who she really is without being mishandled, which she was, by the McCain camp. I look forward to truth being revealed. It disturbs me when people are so willing to believe the worst in Sarah Palin and accept the prejudiced media representation of her, particularly people who themselves are personally well acquainted with bias and prejudice. And the stripper comment? That was enough to get the brother knocked out--but I behaved myself; we were on national television!
Toward the end of the show during commercial breaks, Beck allowed people to go to the front and sit in the chairs, as if they were a part of the panel. That boiled down to whoever could get there first. I tried once, but it was tough. I wasn't about to beeline it to the front--not my style--so I remained in the back.
What Glenn told us before the start of the show was correct: the show would be over much too soon. He said he wants to have us all back soon to talk more. As I said, I was frustrated. The conversation seemed to be all over the place, a lot of differing opinions ran rampant during breaks, and too many didn't get to speak up.
But you know what? It does prove that people have many things on their minds that they want a chance to vocalize, and Glenn Beck is willing to provide the forum. I commend him for that. Yes, it is time to be heard, and I am glad that the nation got to hear a little bit from a few Black conservatives. Some wanted simply to speak about issues that are relevant to all Americans, while others wanted to talk about issues that were unique to the Black community.
It's a start.
As Clifton and I walked the several blocks to Penn Station for me to catch Amtrak back upstate, I checked my email via my cell phone. I realized that Governor Palin had released another Facebook note, which I announced to Clif. Right after that comment, I heard two guys behind us say, "What would she do without Facebook?" Having heard that, I chose to talk even louder to Clif, saying something like, "God bless Sarah Palin!" and "We love Sarah Palin!" Childish thing to do? Perhaps. Some might even say I was foolish to get loud in opposition to two dudes walking down the street at night in New York City. At the moment, I didn't care. I had had enough that night of Palin-dissin'.
Being on the Glenn Beck Show was an opportunity to hear from other conservatives who happened to be Black. We were loud, passionate, and opinionated. It'll be interesting to see what direction the conversation goes in next time. I'll be sure to let you know when that is.

Water and salt,
water and salt
every day…
And for a moment
you felt like a man
in the Israel jail,
far underground
they only give you
water and salt
they tell you:
You are Palestinian,
you are in Israeli jail,
you raised the voice –
when they come to take you
do not be surprised
But your are Palestinian,
you are anonymous
and do not try to explain,
but your are a detainee
and your screams
floated up into heaven
and unprecedented
deafness in the world!
Water and salt,
water and salt
every day…

Heart of Fire (Witches of Whitewood, #1) by Camryn Rhys
2016ContemporaryRomance August 25, 2016 admin
The Banfield family ranch is short a chef, and the first trail ride of the summer starts on Monday…. Mattie Banfield is going to take the future into her own hands. Or, rather, the hands of Fate.

Official Tin Can Tourists Rallies
The qualifications for a listing as an official TCT Gathering the following guidelines are:
- The Gathering is hosted by a Regional Representative or an active TCT member
- The rally will adhere to the TCT Guiding principles of "clean camps, friendliness among campers, decent behavior and to secure plenty of clean, wholesome entertainment for those in the camp"
- TCT membership is a requirement for attendance. Membership requirements must be clearly stated and collection of the Tin Can Tourists membership fee must be part of the rally registration process.
- The Regional Representative will be the clearing house for area events and recommend events that they feel meet the guidelines for the Official designation. The Regional Representative should be kept informed about the events overall organization.
- Concourses will be limited to the Annual Gathering and Regional Rallies. TCT purchases the awards and provides some judging guidelines and wants to keep such awards "special" by limiting the number of such events. It is up to the Regional Representative as to whether they want to provide a concours for attendees. Each geographical area is unique and the Regional Representative is best suited to decide if such an activity is to be provided.

"Did they poison my food? Is it cause I'm a girl? / If I puked up some sonnets would you call me "a miracle?"
Neko Case gets fairly specific — and, thusly, cryptic — on her new song "Night Still Comes." This swaying tune brings in soul and gospel elements into its killer chorus, and the large chorus that sings her chorus. "You never held it at the right angle," they sing, never naming what "it" is as she relates how a forest consumes her and the ocean dashes her biggest "plans."
"Night Still Comes" is yet another example on Case's next album "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" of slipping her character's gender into the "Fight." On "Man," she took up a male as its subject, but not just any male: a very male-y male, an archetype of manly adages in song. Here, pairing the term "puke" up with "is it 'cause I'm a girl" makes it really confrontational, even if we still have no idea what the hell is going on.
I'll just mark this as another good one from Case, whose "Worse Things Get" is out on Sept. 3 via Anti-. The album features guest spots from M. Ward, members of The New Pornographers, My Morning Jacket, Calexico and more. Full tracklist and tour dates are below.

Some fashion brands that entered the online space in the past five years claim to be paying 30-40% commission to ecommerce platforms such as Jabong, Flipkart, Amazon, Myntra and Koovs for sales and product delivery. Last year, Myntra is said to have increased the margin it sought from brands to 36-40% from 28-32% — higher than the 30-35% margins that several apparel, footwear, fashion and lifestyle vendors were giving to brick-and-mortar franchises then.
This is almost as much as they would pay to run a physical retail store, which includes costs like rental (15%), staffing and utilities (8-10%) and maintenance and discounts (5-6%), according to Arvind Singhal, chairman of retail consultancy firm Technopak Advisors. "This (commission) is very expensive," he said, adding that strong fashion brands wouldn't pay ecommerce portals more than 10-20% as commission.
"When you're working with these established players like Flipkart, Snapdeal or Amazon, they have their own cost of operations. They need their margins," said Manish Mandhana, joint managing director of Mandhana Industries, which markets Salman Khan's Being Human lifestyle brand. The brand's ecommerce costs work out to the same as those in the brick-and-mortar space because of margins it gives to these platforms, he said.
Even large companies with big brand portfolios, despite paying lower margins to ecommerce portals, don't seem to save on costs they would incur in physical retail. Arvind Lifestyle Brands, for instance, bears similar ecommerce costs to its multi-brand retail space costs, according to managing director and chief executive officer J Suresh. Myntra, Flipkart, Jabong and Snapdeal didn't respond to queries on the commissions they charge.
Apparel brands could save around 8-10% in costs online over offline provided they have reasonable volumes and don't discount as much, said Anant Daga, chief executive officer of TCNS Clothing Company, which owns Indian women's wear brand W. The brand pays significantly less than 30-40% as commission to its ecommerce portals because it mostly sells its products at full price. "They don't need to discount us to sell us," he said.
With a fashion-clothing product's margin in physical retail typically at 40-45%, a retailer could make 10-15% profit after covering operating costs, according to Technopak's Singhal. Compared to this, many fashion brands lose profits in ecommerce because they give away more in discounts than the 15-20% physical rental costs they would save online, he said. "That is why, so far, very few of them —if any — are making any money," he said.
At the same time, men's wear brand Freecultr said that ecommerce portals at times shared the cost of discounts. "It's not that the brand only bears the entire cost," said Freecultr cofounder and CEO Sandeep Singh. He added that the brand didn't operate below its gross margin unless it was liquidating old inventory, which formed 10% of its total collection every season.

It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Mass Air Flow MAF Sensor to fix your vehicle. You bought your LW300 because its dependability and an American name appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Your Saturn dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted replacement parts for your LW300.
As a Saturn LW300 owner, you understand that engine power comes from good parts. Your modern fuel-injection system uses its Saturn LW300 air mass sensor to observe and report the amount of air coming into the intake.

The result is the optimum combination of gas mileage and horsepower for your car or truck.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy.

So quick and easy!
Standard A2 sized card base in black.
The purple layer is a cheapie paper I got form the $1 spot at Target last year. It's cut to 4 by 5 and 1/4 inches.
Before attaching that purple layer I wrapped some Shabby Crinkled Ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique around it and tied it in a bow. This color is from the Little Boo set.
Under the ribbon I added s trip of green spiderweb paper by Recollections that had been punched with the Stampin' Up Scallop Edge border punch.
At the bottom of the card I stamped "Have a Spook-tacular Day" from the Pink By Design set A Haunting We Will Go. I embossed it using some black embossing powder so that it shows up enough on the patterned paper, plus it just looks cool like that :)
For the image on the card I took 3 pumpkin embellishments from a Jolee's Boutique pack and added them to some green spiderweb paper - same as on the bottom. Then I added that layer to a black piece of cardstock. The black layer is about 1 and 1/8 by 3 and 1/4, but I just eyeballed it when I was cutting.
I finished off by going around the edges with some Starry Night Stickles.

Lesson 22: Identity Pitching (Why Who You Are Is Your Best Pitch Strategy)
**This Lesson is part of the January series "30 Pitch Lessons – 30 Days." Pitch University Pitchfest weeks and Expert-In-Residence weeks kick off the 1st full week in February.**
What a delight to introduce Laurel Marshfield, a generous, wise writing pro, whose unique insights offer our Pitch U writers exactly what they need to take an ordinary pitch and make it memorable and compelling.
Laurel is a professional writer, developmental editor (aka "Book Doctor"), and ghostwriter who helps authors shape, develop, and refine their book manuscripts for publication. She offers manuscript evaluation, developmental editing, co-writing, collaboration, ghostwriting, book coaching, and consultation for authors.
Her blogsite publishes inspiration and advice for the author's journey: Blue Horizon Communications And her free eBook, available for newsletter signup (see the upper right-hand corner of her homepage) is titled: I Need to Be a Bestselling Author – Is That True? :: The Five-Destination Roadmap to Authorship. On Twitter, you can find her at: @BookEditorLM
Pitching an agent or editor is not all that different from writing a simple story with a beginning, middle, and end. Except.
Your "pitch story" isn't about a handful of fictional characters. It's about you -- a real person -- and how you came to write this book that you want an agent to rep, or an editor to buy.
No mention of the book hook, core conflict, or story arc?
They're all a necessary given. But what agents and editors really want to know is whether or not You will be a good investment of their time, energy, and professional capital.
WHO Are YOU? (Said the Caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland)
Agents and editors want to know Who You Are. What makes you fascinating and unique (apart from being a talented writer). Even more importantly, they want to know whether you're mature enough, responsible enough, even sane enough to behave reliably to the many demands of being published.
Can you step up? (Or will you go into meltdown during the first round of manuscript changes?)
Do you understand that publishing (as opposed to writing a marketable manuscript) is a team sport? And will you play well with all the others who are needed to get your book into the marketplace?
The Real Hurdles You Face
During a ten- or fifteen-minute pitch session at Book Expo America or some regional writers' conference, agents and editors can't always discern your publishing maturity.
You, however, can calm their worst fears. And you'd be wise to do so -- because these are the real hurdles you face (apart from having a book worth publishing and a strong author platform).
Here's how you can give agents and editors more of what they're really looking for. Tell them who you are -- in a compelling and engaging way – while at the same time describing the excitement and magnetic appeal of your book project (using five or six crystal-clear lines).
Can't quite picture it? See if this hypothetical example helps.
The ER Physician Turned Author
Standing in line at a pitch-fest set up in Hawaii for first-time authors is an emergency room doctor who's been working the night shift for over two decades.
There's very little human behavior Dr. ER hasn't heard about or witnessed. Stress or trauma, combined with the hour (usually two or three in the morning) encourages people to share what's really troubling them with the reassuring doc who's checking their vital signs.
Over time, all these intimate human encounters made a huge impression on Dr. ER. So much so, he gradually developed a theory about a core aspect of human behavior -- before combing the research, looking for corroboration.
After learning that his theory was, for the most part, correct, Dr. ER began writing in his spare time, eventually turning his theory, research, and patient stories into a book with broad appeal.
Now he's waiting to pitch his book to an agent who handles subjects like his.
What Would You Do?
The critical question is, should Dr. ER focus (a) on stories about his patients, (b) on startling research findings, (c) on the problem his book can solve (since it goes against the cultural norm), or (d) on what led him to write it, in the first place?
What would you do?
What Dr. ER should do is cover all those things, but present them through the lens of who he is.
And who is he? He's an ER physician (responsible -- entrusted with life and death decisions) who is creative enough to look at a core cultural norm in a new way (unique and controversial -- will elicit strong responses from reviewers and interviewers).
He's also an author who can tell fascinating stories about a world or subculture that few will ever experience (will interest even a casual talk show audience – so there's both popular and "highbrow" appeal).
Using this made-up example, do you see the difference between pitching your book and pitching yourself as the author of your book?
The latter gives agents and editors much more of what they want to know -- before they consider your project a viable one. And there's a very good reason why this is so. Without a fascinating, unique (and responsible) author, a book manuscript is only a ream of used paper.

Business Advantage PNG reports that exploration commenced in January in the areas which span two of the companies exploration leases in Irumafimpa and Kora.
With no previous drilling in the area between Irumafimpa and Kora, the area has significant potential for the company says K92 Mining's Chief Operating Officer, John Lewins.
"It's one of the most exciting bits of ground that I've seen, and one of the most exciting projects that I've been involved in—and that's having spent almost 40 years in the industry," Lewins tells Business Advantage PNG.
K92 Mining aims to ramp Irumafimpa up to full production by April this year and to commence production from the Kora deposit towards the end of this year, or early next year.
In an effort to step up production activity, there are two diamond drill rigs currently working on the ground, and a third rig ready to commence work at Kora in the coming weeks.

I was watching Dr. Phil on television the other day with my wife. He was talking to a woman who discovered, after marrying her husband, that he was a crossdresser, or at least had crossdressing tendencies. Dr. Phil counseled the woman to leave the man because of his "perversion," and told her that no one could ever be sexually satisfied with a crossdresser for a husband because he would always be masturbating while wearing her underwear, and so on, instead of sexually pleasing her. Mind you, the woman had three kids with this guy, and she actually didn't say that they didn't have sex. Then Dr. Phil got the husband on the phone and yelled at him for being dishonest.
From reading your column for a long time, I was under the impression that just because something turns someone on, it doesn't mean that nothing else turns them on. If I like blowjobs and my wife doesn't, does that mean we are sexually incompatible? How is this different? Or is Dr. Phil just projecting?
Perverts and Nylon Tights
As the mental image of a crossdressed Dr. Phil is too horrible to contemplate, let's assume he isn't projecting. Besides, it's more likely Dr. Phil is simply doing what daytime TV talk-show hosts are paid the big bucks to do: Tell women in the audience exactly what they want to hear. In this case, he's telling the wife of a crossdresser, and, by extension, all the wives of all the crossdressers watching at home, that their husbands are dishonest perverts, that the wives are wronged innocents.
Yes, yes: In an ideal world people would make a full disclosure of their secret sexual fetishes before getting married and making babies. But most straight people with "shameful" sexual fetishes deny and suppress them for years in what almost always proves to be a futile attempt to control and deny their sexual desires and live "normal" lives. (Out gay people, as a rule, don't suppress their kinks. Compared to a desire for same-sex sex and love, a "perverse" desire for leather, dress socks, stuffed animals, spankings, piss, Ashton Kutcher, etc. just doesn't seem that scary.)
And why do straight guys with bizarre sexual fantasies and fetishes try to keep them secret? Why do they suppress them? Because of people like Dr. Phil.
It's the Dr. Phils of this world who run around telling people that anyone with a sexual fantasy wilder than whipped cream on the wife's nipples is a freak. It's the Dr. Phils who spread the lie that people with wild sexual fantasies are not interested in "normal" sexual activity, no matter how much "normal" sexual activity they've engaged in over the course of their lives. It's the Dr. Phils who tell women with small children that the discovery of a run-of-the-mill sexual fetish is grounds for divorce.
Gee, color me Bill Bennett, but it seems to me that the damage of divorce for all involved (especially kids!) is so great that the wife of a crossdresser might want to take a stab at accepting or accommodating her husband's fetish before filing for divorce. And perhaps the woman on Dr. Phil's show might have gone there if the not-so-good doctor took the trouble to do a little research before he stuck his big, bald head up his big, white ass. (Hey, that's perverse!) Then Dr. Phil could've told her that crossdressing is a common fetish among straight men, and that most crossdressers are only interested in indulging themselves from time to time. Dr. Phil could've told her that most crossdressers enjoy normal sexual relations with their wives. He also could've told her that there are support groups for the wives of crossdressers, books she could read, and Internet chat rooms she could visit.
And he could've told her that while it may not be pleasant to contemplate her husband in women's clothes, she doesn't have to contemplate it constantly. If she can't go there, as the kids say, the least she can do is give her husband permission to indulge on his own during solo masturbation sessions. If his occasional indulgence takes nothing away from their sex life, she should be encouraged not to dwell on the mental image of her husband in panties, just as we chose not to dwell on the mental image of Dr. Phil in panties.
I got pregnant back in June--intentionally, with my husband of almost five years. The getting pregnant part was great, but since then, he's been totally uninterested in sex. There are no medical reasons why we can't be intimate. I've asked my husband about it and he doesn't want to talk. I've passed along books and articles about how sex during pregnancy is a good and healthy thing that won't hurt the baby. I've approached him while naked, I've snuggled up to him when he comes to bed and in the morning when we wake up, and the only result I've gotten is that he comes to bed after I've gone to sleep and leaps out of bed when the alarm goes off.
This morning I finally managed to lure him back under the sheets, and after he'd gotten me off he got up and left, telling me I should be happy because he'd given me "what [I] wanted." Well, hell, that's not what I want--I want us to enjoy each other before we're overwhelmed with kid stuff! I'm tired and frustrated and hurt.
Momma Violates Poppa?
In the spirit of telling women what they don't want to hear....
Has it occurred to you, MVP, that your husband might not be attracted to you at the moment? While there's no medical reason you can't be having sex right now, there are men out there who simply aren't attracted to their wives' pregnant bodies, and/or men who can't quite get past the "presence" of their unborn children. If your husband isn't attracted to your body right now or is turned off by the thought of his unborn child floating in a pool of his own spunk, there's nothing books and articles and nudity and towels and advice columns can do about it.
So what do you do? Accept the fact that your husband isn't up for sex and take comfort in the thought that your sex life will return to normal once the baby comes. (Yes, yes: You'll be busy when the baby comes, but resourceful couples carve out time for sex--and you sound pretty resourceful, MVP.) In the meantime, throw away the books and the articles and stop waltzing around the house naked. You're unlikely to get any physical intimacy out of him--no cuddling, no lingering in the morning--if he feels like every move you make is an attempt to initiate sex.
Tell your husband that you expect nothing of him sexually over the next few months but that you will insist on a certain amount of physical intimacy for the remainder of your pregnancy. He may not want to have sex but it's cruel to deny you any physical intimacy at all. Once he feels like you're no longer trying to initiate sex every time you come near him (at a time when he likely fears he won't be able to perform), perhaps he'll start coming to bed before you go to sleep and linger a bit longer in the morning.
There. It's answers like that one that will prevent me from ever having a daytime TV talk show of my own.

Kongsberg, Norway (UPI) Feb 7, 2017
Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace of Norway is to deliver updated Protector remote weapon systems to the Swiss armaments procurement agency.
The contract issued by Armasuisse is worth about $15.8 million.
"Kongsberg has delivered Protector remote weapon systems to Switzerland since 2007," said Espen Henriksen, president of Kongsberg Protech Systems. "This configuration is the result of a close cooperation with the customer to develop the system for a new generation of platforms."
The Protector RWS protects military troops by allowing a vehicle's weapons to be operated from a protected position inside the vehicle.
Kongsberg said 18 countries use its RWS, including the United States.
Details as to the number of units to be supplied and their delivery schedule were not disclosed.

What distribution+version of Linux are you using? Your package manager should have the acl (access control list) package available to install directly, instead of building from source as you seem to be trying to do. In any case, m4 is a sophisticated macro language and is used for a lot of pre-processing steps in software compiilers, etc.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 24, 2011 -- GlobalData estimates that the global brain hemorrhage therapeutics market was worth $358m in 2010 and will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3% to $452m by 2018. The slow growth in the brain hemorrhage therapeutics market is largely due to its stable prevalence, a high mortality rate and a weak pipeline of only two company sponsored drugs. The main risk factors associated with brain hemorrhage are lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity and alcohol consumption. The most common therapies are prescribed off-label, such as anti-hypertensive agents (labetalol and nicardipine), hemostatic agents (vitamin K and rfVIIa), antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin and lorazepam) and osmotherapy (mannitol 20%) which provide symptomatic treatment but lack superior safety and efficacy. The market does not have any approved therapies. These factors will result in the slow growth of the global brain hemorrhage therapeutics market to 2018.
The current brain hemorrhage therapeutics market has 17 molecules in the developmental pipeline. Most of the clinical trials are conducted by academic institutions. The only company sponsored clinical trials are GLP-1 CellBeads and PG2, sponsored by CellMed AG/BTG and PhytoHealth Corporation respectively. Of the total number of pipeline drugs, four are first-in-class and the remaining 12 are generics. The mechanism of action of one drug in Phase 0 is unknown. The first-in-class molecules have a distinct advantage over the currently marketed products with regards to better symptomatic management. Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA), calcium channel blocker, synaptic vesicle protein binder, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, blood coagulation factor, Peroxisome Proliferator Activator Receptor (PPAR) agonist, beta adrenergic antagonist/vasodilator/Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, iron chelator, phosophodiesterase V inhibitor, vascular-selective L-type calcium channel antagonist and anti apoptotic are the mechanisms of action currently under investigation for brain hemorrhage. Overall, the presence of only a few first-in-class drugs and the significant presence of generics clearly suggest that the brain hemorrhage pipeline is weak and will register slow growth to 2018.

GlobalData has found that the brain hemorrhage therapeutics market has a high level of unmet need, suggesting that the market is not well served by the current treatment options. Moreover, these treatment options are not approved and are used off-label. The market is dominated by off-label and generic medications which include antihypertensive agents, hemostatic agents, antiepileptic agents and osmotherapy. The lack of approved therapies for brain hemorrhage clearly establishes the market's high unmet need and scope for new entrants that can offer superior safety and efficacy
GlobalData, the industry analysis specialist, has released its new report, "Brain Hemorrhage Therapeutics - Pipeline Assessment and Market Forecasts to 2018". The report is an essential source of information and analysis on the global brain hemorrhage therapeutics market. The report identifies the key trends shaping and driving the global brain hemorrhage therapeutics market. The report also provides insights on the prevalent competitive landscape and the emerging players expected to significantly alter the market positioning of the current market leaders. Most importantly, the report provides valuable insights on the pipeline products within the global brain hemorrhage sector. This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData's team of industry experts.

For years I've been looking for a good corn casserole recipe, and even though I have a huge stack of cookbooks, none of them have a recipe for this in them. What? How can that be?
I went to one of my favorite recipes sites, www.allrecipes.com , and found a dreamy corn casserole recipe that is so easy and everyone loves. I made it for a church potluck and someone actually said it was good enough to be a dessert. Yum!
If you're on a diet, I'm sure you don't want to know what's in here. And when I doubled the recipe for Thanksgiving, I shuddered to think that there were four eggs, two cups of sour cream and two whole sticks of butter in here. (Paula Deen would be proud.) But it's so good, who really cares.
Corn Casserole
1/2 c. melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 package (8 1/2 ounces) dry cornbread mix (I use Jiffy, which is super cheap!)
1 (15 ounce) can of creamed corn
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup sour cream
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients and spoon into prepared dish. Make sure to stir well, because you don't want a lump of sour cream to turn up when you bite into it (or maybe you do??).
• Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
It's been my experience that if you let it cook a little too long, it sort of loses that souffle quality that makes it so yummy. When it looks firm in the middle (but not hard), that's a good indication that it's done.
I found this recipe here .

Planting Guides
Tips On Growing Calylophus (Sundrops)
Calylophus (Sundrops) is a showy genus of native western species. Closely related to Oenothera, but these perennials are day bloomers.
Preferred growing conditions:
- Plant in fast draining sandy, rocky or light loam soils. Some species (C. hartwegii) are fine with clay in arid climates.
- All need full sun conditions.
- Mulch with gravel or other coarse texted non-bark mulch.
- Keep regularly watered for the first growing season to establish the roots. Thereafter, infrequent but deep watering is preferred.
- Fertilize lightly in fall with Yum Yum Mix/compost blend.
Special comments:
- Deadheading is not needed as these plants are naturally long blooming. Cut back hard in early to mid-spring to a height of 2 to 3 inches.

Comments about High Country Gardens Calylophus serrulatus:
Planted this little guy a couple of years ago as filler/weed barrier in two gardens, one in full sun, the other shade in the morning and sun in the afternoon. Both spots are doing well and the first year the plant starting spreading as i expected - not gang busters, but slow and steady while maintaining a healthy look. The spreading was slower than I had hoped it would continue this year, but probably to the very unusually wet spring we had in Denver this year (2015). Still looks great though, even in a garden that received inches more moisture than it is designed for.

Suggested Companion Plants:
USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Rob Voerman is included in the exhibition 'Cities of Ash' at g39, Cardiff.
Rob Voerman is taking part in the group exhibition Cities of Ash at G39-Artspace in Cardiff, UK.
Flexing the architectural imagination, the artists in Cities of Ash offer the god-like experience of model city panoramas found in civic museums or on observation decks of towering skyscrapers. They each engage in the pursuit of obscuring the urban experience with a fantasy veil, leaving glimpses between its brushstrokes. Cities of Ash presents an immersive assembly of fantastical urban infrastructure, quasi-realism and psychogeographical reflection.
Published: 16/7/2014
The exhibition takes place from July 12th until September 13th.
