Emily Yoffe, aka Dear Prudence, is on Washingtonpost.com every Monday at 1 p.m. to chat with readers about their romantic, family, financial, and workplace problems. (Read Prudie's Slate columns here.) An unedited transcript of this week's chat follows.
Emily Yoffe: Good afternoon, everyone. I'm looking forward to your emails.
Chicago: My family is entering a zone of weirdness that I'm not sure I can handle. My sister is 10 years younger than I am and we're not that close. At 24, she's still living at home with my mom. My mom is widowed, and has not really dated anyone since my dad died 5 years ago. I'm married, have two kids and live about three hours away, so I don't get a lot of information about what goes on a daily basis.
I've recently learned that my sister is dating a much older man (early forties) and my mom is dating his brother. They double date! My sister is of the view that age doesn't matter and I'm old-fashioned. My mom says she's having fun for the first time in ages and I shouldn't worry. Shouldn't worry about my middle-aged mom partying with my flaky sister? How?
Emily Yoffe: So if both couples get married your sister will be your aunt, your mother will be her daughter's sister-in-law, your brother-in-law will be your step father, and Christmas gift-giving time will require a spread sheet. Yes, it's kooky, and it may all end in multi-generational heartbreak— let's hope the guys are more Marx Brothers than James Brothers. But unless you have reason to believe the brothers are up to no good, just sit back and enjoy your family's version of Big Love.
Washington D.C.: My son is now marrying his junior high school sweetheart. My question is should she make some type or arrangement to include some of his family in her wedding plans? Like maybe a flower girl or brides maid? She seems to include only her family and friends and my side of the family wish to be included also. How do you ask her to please consider our side of the family? Thanks.
Emily Yoffe: Unless this pair is still in junior high school, presumably she has known your family for years. Before everything gets set, talk to your son and ask him to discuss this with his bride. Explain that a gesture to include your side of the family in the wedding party would mean a lot. She may be oblivious to the hurt feelings she is causing. Then whatever she does—forget it! Do not start this new marriage with your family conspiring to resent her.
The Patch: My husband is trying to stop smoking. He started the patch this weekend. And he has turned into a complete jerk. He is mean and nasty and has said some really terrible things to me. He's also been really mean to our son.
I know it's temporary and I'm really excited that he is going to stop smoking, but I don't know how to deal with him. I dread going home tonight.
Emily Yoffe: You need to sit him down and say in the most loving way that all of your are thrilled that he's taking these steps to extend his life, but you're all going to feel like killing him if he doesn't get hold of his frustration and stop striking out at you and your son. He may not even be aware of how impossible he is. If he continues to go too far, don't rise to the bait, just calmly say, "I think that's the cigarette withdrawal talking. Why don't you take a walk before you say some more hurtful things."
Indianapolis, Ind.: Hello, Prudence. I have just graduated from university with my degree and am hitting the job market. Now I've run into a bit of an embarrassing problem. You see, it is customary to shake when a hand is offered to you, yes? Well, my hands are disfigured due to a birth defect (radial aplasia if you want to know). The interviewers seem a bit surprised and a little embarrassed. They are put a bit on edge, at least if I'm reading their body language and vocal tone correct. It is not conducive to a good interview. Do you have any advice for my situation?
Emily Yoffe: Unless your birth defect makes it impossible or uncomfortable for you to shake hands (and it doesn't sound as if that's the case), you need to confidently offer your hand, put a big smile on your face, and say, "So nice to meet you." Yes, you're right, people are often uncomfortable or flummoxed when faced with such differences, but by being confident the first thing you're going to show your prospective employer that you have mastered the art of putting people at ease.
Washington, D.C.: I have always been on the skinny side, but unfortunately due to a digestive disorder, I have lost even more weight recently. Whenever I go out to dinner or are with friends eating, I attract unwanted comments about the amount of food I am eating and my weight since small portions are easier on my stomach. People also tend to force food on me to "fatten me up." How do I respond to these comments and gestures? My health problems and my weight already cause much anxiety for me, and having unwanted attention on account of it does not help at all.
Emily Yoffe: Everyone knows it's a faux pas to comment on what a heavy person is eating, but since being skinny is a much desired (if unattainable) goal, everyone thinks it perfectly okay to talk about the bodies of the underweight. It's not. But since people will be commenting, you have to both convey your comfort with your body, and that you wish to end the discussion. You could say something like, "I know it looks like I'm blessed with being slender, but because of a medical condition, I can only eat a little at a time." To the inevitable follow-up questions you can say, "Let's talk about something more appetizing than my digestive system."
Pine River, Minn.: Dear Prudence, My youngest of three failed to graduate on time. He will receive his diploma after some weeks of summer school. I am wondering if it is okay to honor him with a late party once he actually finishes.
Emily Yoffe: Of course! He ran into some trouble, and then worked his way out of it. He accomplished his goal. Those are all good reasons to celebrate.
Minneapolis, Minn.: Dear Prudence, Everybody tells me that high school is the point in your life where you should be starting to form romantic relationships with people, but the concept is lost on me. I've always been a more solitary person, but recently I've been reaching out and am now on the social scene more than ever before. Because of this, I'm being noticed by some of the guys in my grade in a different light. I've been asked out about 2-3 times and have turned every offer down. I do this because not only do I have no interest in a boyfriend, but also I think I would make a poor girlfriend. Being a teenager, I have the overly active hormones we are known for and habitually pick out any attractive man I see (generally on television or in movies) all the time. It's something that I think is fun, but would put a lot of strain on a relationship. My mom says it's normal, and most of my friends agree. Save for one. One of my semi-close guy friends claims it's mean and unfair for me to not give these potentials a chance. I've explained to him numerous times that I don't want a boyfriend and don't feel ready for that kind of commitment, but he still says I'm being rude and refusing them for all the wrong reasons. Am I right that I'm not ready for commitment, or am I just refusing them for my own bizzare reasons? Are they even the right reasons? And if I have the right to refuse, how can I let people down in a light manner without seeming cold? Please help!
Emily Yoffe: Even if you pine for Chris Pine (Capt. Kirk in Star Trek), he is simply not going to return your attention. Plenty of people don't date in high school—they aren't interested, aren't ready, etc. But if you aren't dating because you're not ready for commitment—and find actors more attractive than classmate—that's just fine. But a date does not a boyfriend make. It's good to get some practice in finding out what it's like to go out with a real person. You don't have to confess your secret, and you don't have to go steady. Just have fun.
Chicago, Ill.: I recently accepted a volunteer position with the intent of pulling myself out of my own personal doldrums. I really wanted to get involved and put my talents to good use. The place where I'm volunteering is extremely prestigous and very well-known. I have committed myself for two nights a week for the rest of the summer.
Last week was my first day, and I'm very disappointed. The work is extremely tedious and boring (think data entry and alphabetizing), and there's a lot of it to do with no end in sight. The work must be done regardless. I was really hoping I'd have a chance to put my professional know-how to good use, but quite honestly the work is beneath me. (I interned at this same place many years ago, and the work I'm doing now is further down on the totem pole than what I did before.) It's clear to me there will be no other tasks to do at this organization other than what is before me. Volunteering is having the opposite effect on me than what I'd originally hoped for.
I spoke to a friend of mine who thinks I should quit. She told me that although volunteer work on a resume is always a plus, she thinks prospective employers would look down on me for taking such a low-level volunteer position and question my professional capabilities and how I value myself. I have to admit my friend has a point.
I don't know what to do. My life hasn't been the greatest, and I really had high hopes for this. I'd just like to bail now. There are plenty of others lined up behind me to help so my presence won't make a difference. Should I quit after just one day? Do you think this will hurt my job prospects in the long run? Is there a graceful way to back out of this? Should I put this on my resume? Right now, I'm too ashamed.
I don't know what to do.
Emily Yoffe: You probably don't want to put on your resume, "Alphabetizing at The Salvation Army from May 28, 2009—May 28, 2009." Before you do anything, you need to have a talk with your supervisor, or the person in charge of interns. Explain that you chose the organization because you volunteered there before and had engaging work that made you feel you were furthering their goals. But now you are concerned that if you are only going to be expected to do data entry, that is not the best use of your abilities. And since it's not the best use of your abilities, if you're working for free, there are plenty of other places where you could put your real talents to work if this place won't change your duties.
Sacramento, Calif.: Dear Prudie,
Several months ago I ended a bad relationship with a man I'd been seeing for about 9 months. I was verbally and emotionally abused by him and it took every ounce of my strength to finally walk away from him and not look back. About a month ago I began dating again, feeling like I had come a long way and had healed enough to put myself back in the game, and have started seeing a man who is everything I could have possibly hoped for. He's smart, ambitious, kind, gentle, considerate - basically everything I've ever wanted. However, my ex got wind of my new relationship and has done everything possible to tear me down and make me feel insecure about myself and my ability to be in a relationship. He tells me all of the imperfections of my body, how horrible I am as a lover, has been 'fessing up to lies he told me throughout our relationship. I try to ignore him, but somehow I still feel battered and bruised and I'm worried that my new guy will decide I have too much "drama" with my ex constantly harrassing me. Any tips about how to make my ex leave me alone? We don't even live in the same state!
Emily Yoffe: Why is this guy in your life in any way? Next time he contacts you tell him your relationship is over and you both need to move on and end contact completely. Then do not pick up the phone when you see it's him, don't answer his emails, don't respond to his tweets, etc. If he continues, then tell him if he doesn't understand you meant no contact, you will be forced to take legal action to get him to leave you alone
Philadelphia, Penn.: I'm a graduate student in mathematics, and my particular area is very abstract. When people ask me what I do, or see me with a textbook and ask what I'm reading, no matter how simplified an explanation I give them, inevitably the person remarks that my area is "way beyond" them or that they'd "never be able to grasp that". I always want to tell them, "You definitely won't with that attitude." To me, all of these concepts are perfectly intuitive, and while I'm certainly aware that not everyone has my capacity for, or interest in, mathematics, I am still annoyed by all of these people putting themselves down to me—did they ever try to understand the subject? At least some of them might find it easier and more interesting than they expected! For some reason, they all seem to take pride in how poor their math ability is, or at the very least they aren't troubled by it. Should I be harsher and just say "Yes indeed, this is much too hard for you"? How do you suggest I respond to these kind of comments?
Emily Yoffe: A few years ago, in an attempt to help my daughter with her math homework, I enrolled in the elementary school math prep program, Kumon. I scored at the first grade level. Even if I tried, I probably couldn't truly understand what you're doing. But I would be interested if you could explain what this math is used for—modeling subprime mortgages? Global warming? Then we'd have something to talk about. So ignore the self-put downs, and don't add any of your own. Instead think of it as an opportunity to show that what you do is interesting and can—on some level—be grasped.
Arlington, Va.: Please, please, please advise the woman whose husband is trying to quit smoking to discuss this side-effect with his doctor immediately. My family has been devastated by a member who committed suicide shortly after beginning a drug-based regime designed to help him quit smoking. A reaction like her husband's shouldn't be ignored or trivialized. (Not that your original answer trivialized it, but please have them make sure it's not something more serious.)
Emily Yoffe: Medical alert! Wife with the husband quitting smoking who has developed a terrible personality—have him call his doctor immediately. Thanks for the heads up.
To the Sister: I know it seems weird for your sister and your Mom to marry brothers, but it's not. See, I'm my own Grandpa. It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so. I married a somewhat older woman, then my Mom passed on, and my dad got to know her 20-something daughter, and somehow they became close. Then we had a kid, and they had a kid, and after much consideration, I realized that in fact I'm my own Grandpa.
Emily Yoffe: If this weren't a country song, I'd say it sounded like something out of Sophocles.
I can't believe I'm saying this…: As someone who despises the whole wedding industrial/bridezilla complex… but the bride's choice of bridesmaids are supposed to be people she is close with. Presumably, that doesn't include any members of your family, and she's chosen to pick her friends and family to stand with her. Is there really anything wrong with that?
When I was married, my mother-in-law arbitrarily invited her niece to be my bridesmaid on the basis that she had a really pretty dress to wear. I didn't even know her well & my bridesmaids consisted of two people—my best friend and my cousin, which is what I wanted. I thought it odd that she would presume to add someone she felt would fit in.
Emily Yoffe: Elope, everyone, elope! I share your dislike of all this, and agree with you about choosing your own bridesmaids. But obviously the two families (the couple met in junior high) must know each other well and both bride and groom should sit down and make sure some groom's family members have a part in the wedding.
Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Prudence, You've just reconnected with someone on Facebook and want to ask whether or not their parent(s) is still alive. Is there any graceful way to ask that question?
Emily Yoffe: Now, thanks to Facebook, high school truly never has to end, no matter when you graduated. People are reconnecting to classmates they haven't heard from in decades, and there's no way people can be expected to know about the health status of older relatives. Go ahead and send a message — a private one, not posted on the wall—saying, "How are your parents doing? I think of them so fondly." Then if they're no longer around, don't be embarrassed, just express your condolence.
Washington, D.C.: For the radial aplasia writer: I work with a young woman whose hands are significantly deformed, and she follows Prudie's advice. Bright smile, totally warm and confident, no hesitation on the hand-shaking. Sure, you notice the hands right away, but you forget them just as quickly as her personality shines through.
Emily Yoffe: Wonderful! As you've seen, a confident, engaging manner can't be beat.
Detroit, Mich.: Dear Prudie,
I have a questions about interfering in someone else's life. My aunt and uncle have hit some hard times recently, my aunt was laid off and had to take a much lower position to make ends meet, and my uncle is under more stress than ever at work. They have two young children, who are wonderful and charming, but I have noticed a pretty large difference in their little girl lately. Last time I saw her she has gained a lot of weight, her face was dirty and her hair uncombed. While at my house she ate more than I did and ate cake and burgers and whipped cream with abandon and no comment from her parents. I fear that she is being lost in the hard changes that must be taking place at their house. My uncle has always been a man's man and has paid more attention to the little girl's older brother, taking him to car races and camping but leaving the girl at home. And now, with my aunt have less time than ever to spend on her, I think she has been a little forgotten. I am concerned about her, but also concerned about sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. Any advice?
Emily Yoffe: You're family, so I think your nose belongs, but you must handle this very gently. Check in with your aunt about how things are going. You can say you were concerned that "Caitlin" didn't seem like herself the last time they visited. Then you should step in and take an interest in Caitlin. Tell your aunt you've got some free time and you'd love to spend more time with Caitlin. You could take her to museums, go to a pottery class together, etc. Your consistent interest in this lonely child could make a permanent difference in her life.
Park City, Utah: I love my boyfriend very very dearly. We have been together six years, living together for three. About a year ago we had a public fight in which my boyfriend got a little physical with me (first and only time). I broke things off, but we recently got back together. Everything is great, I love being with him, but the second things turn sexual I freeze up. My skin crawls and it's all I can do not to push him away. I just want to love him again…please help me. How can I get past this?
Emily Yoffe: Your boyfriend totally lost control and what—Hit you? Pushed you around? Now your skin crawls at his touch. I think your skin's telling you you can't get past it.
Milwaukee, Wis.: I am asking for advice regarding the first year of marriage. My husband has recently let me know that he questions whether he can stay in our relationship, and cites the fact that he never has felt confident in his feelings of love toward me. I love him deeply. Any advice on how to cope with this ambiguity? We are seeing a therapist but exploring his feelings seems to be taking things to a new low.
Emily Yoffe: This is along the same lines as the letter above. The first year of marriage shouldn't be that hard. This sounds painful and humiliating, but how do you convince someone he didn't make a mistake and he should love you? Therapy is just revealing how little he wants to be in the marriage. I say you should take charge of yourself and tell him you realize you don't want to be in a marriage with someone who doesn't love you, and get out before you invest more years with Mr. Tortured.
Washington, D.C.: We have a small child who is possibly the most-photographed kid on the planet. My husband practically lives behind the camera — but only with his own family. When we're with my family, we might come away from the visit with two or three snapshots. Visits with his family get a page or two on Flickr. I've mentioned that I wish he would show as much interest in my family's interaction with our child as he does in his own. He says "sure" but nothing changes. Am I wrong to be a little miffed over this?
Emily Yoffe: You are wrong in not taking the camera yourself and making sure you get plenty of shots with your child and Grammy and Papa. There are enough real issues that make marriage difficult, so skip the ones that aren't.
Re: Volunteering: Shouldn't this person honor their commitment and then find a better fit? They are obviously needed. I volunteer at my children's school and while a portion of my time I get to work with the children, a lot of it is boring copy, laminating, filing and organization. But I know my helping lets the teacher's spend more time teaching.
Emily Yoffe: I think doing scut work for your kid's school — which allows you know the staff and teachers better and feel part of that community — if different from doing utterly tedious work for an organization where you have no direct connection. It sounds like a very long summer of alphabetizing for free for no real good purpose.
Washington, D.C.: I have recently begun to get graduation invitations from the children of high school friends and distant relatives. I have never met these children, and in many cases I have not seen their parents in over 15-20 years. Is a gift really expected or required? The invitations came from the children themselves — not from their parents with a "can you believe I am old enough to have a high school grad" type note, which would have made it seem more "news-y" than "greedy."
Emily Yoffe: You may be tempted to respond with, "I can hardly believe it, since until your note, I didn't know you'd been born!" You can ignore the notes from former friends you haven't seen in decades. As for distant family, you can reply with a note of congratulations — if you feel if the circumstances were reversed you'd never expect a gift, then don't send one.
Los Angeles, Calif.: My 82-year-old grandmother is blind and, since my grandfather went into a nursing home, has been living by herself for the past three years. For the most part, she is amazingly self-sufficient; paying her bills and ordering her groceries online, etc. I am extremely proud of her. My problem? I live 5 minutes away and am the relative she relies on for all of the other things that she needs help with. I honestly do not begrudge her the help she needs, picking up prescriptions, making out checks for her, taking her to visit my grandfather, taking her pets to the vet, etc, but more and more I'm feeling resentful that none of the rest of the family who live in the area pitch in to help. While I am over there several times a week, my uncle, who lives less than 1/2 an hour away, stops by briefly maybe once a month, if that. When the subject is brought up, he gives vague excuses as to how "busy" he is at work then goes on to describe the time he spent on his sailboat the weekend before.
When she had her house renovated, I was the one who spent weeks dealing with the contractor, the paperwork, and helping her get the house ready, though a few family members did come over on two days to help clean out some of the rooms.
I find myself resenting each trip to my grandmother's because I know that it will be filled with obligatory tasks and chores. She is too proud to accept help from senior services, so I'm at a loss as to what else to do. How can I stop feeling like an indentured servant and start feeling like a granddaughter again? I love my grandmother dearly and miss the time when I eagerly looked forward to our visits.
Emily Yoffe: If your grandmother's pride is making you dread your visits, then it's time for pride to taketh a fall. You need to call a family conference to discuss how all of you can better address your grandmother's needs. You have fallen into being her de facto caretaker and it's not going to serve anyone if you become overwhelmed. Tasks have to be delegated — maybe someone can be in charge of finding out what services are available for your grandmother. Others can agree to run errands, care for her pets, take her to visit your grandfather. Tell everyone you all need to share in the burdens and joys of last years.
"Math? That's over my head": I think this writer deserves more of an answer. I'm a woman in physics, and nearly everyone makes a self-deprecating comment when I say so. The point really is this: there is a cultural pride in innumeracy that doesn't exist for illiteracy—no one will brag about not being able to read, yet feel free to essentially brag about not being good at math. This is not people being candid about their abilities. It actually is a way of dismissing the importance of the field of study by implying that it has no cultural necessity or meaning. There has to be a way of responding to this, but subtly encouraging people to believe that it can be understood (with perhaps some effort—but what doesn't take effort?). Most people can do math to at least the calculus level with time and effort, not talent. And most people can understand even high mathematical concepts, if not perform them, if they'd get past the mental block. This hurts everybody!
Emily Yoffe: I'm sure most people could change their carburetor with some time and effort, too. Instead of lecturing people about how their innumeracy hurts everyone, understand that people are complimenting you on your impressive skills. So come up with some things to say about your field that can engage even the innumerate, like me, in conversation.
And thanks, everyone, for this week's conversation!

Judy Freeman Foushee went to college to take a painting class and ended up in a pottery class. Judy works the clay in a family farmhouse that goes back 5 generations. You first notice the haint blue porch ceiling at Freeman Pottery. Judy says it's been that color since as far back as she can remember.
Judy is the first person in her family to choose being a potter as the other 4 generations chose farming. The farmhouse with it's one main chimney serving 3 fireplaces is just one of the charming features she tells me about. The 1800's 4 porch structure is framed by its 12/12 pitch roof and recognized by the heart vents on each gable.
The front of the house has two porches with one for the kitchen and one for the living area. Haint blue porch ceilings ward off insects it is thought by Judy and I explained to Judy the folklore surrounding the color. I wrote another story on Haint Blue at this post and explained the theory by some that the color allows haints or spirits to escape up to the sky instead of getting trapped. Once trapped the spirits are likely to enter the house. Judy assured me that there were no spirits at this house and that generations of her family have been Christian.
I can imagine that during the 1800's it wasn't easy to craft hearts in the vents on each gable. Makes me think the owner must have loved his wife very much to allow this crafted detail. I too want hearts on the vents of my future farmhouse. I may just build a house exactly like this floor plan. It was very functional and fun. It's a 3 bedroom home with two additional back porches that help protect from the hot Seagrove climate. It is said that the first owner loved the back right porch the most due to the breezes that flowed there.
Judy is known for her pottery miniatures. She has the largest selection. They are numerous in style and design. Some are face jugs depicting personalities in government and some just down right funny buck toothed creations. Judy is witty and hugely talented at adding character to each piece. No two are alike.
She has a drunken man's jug where any handle can be grabbed easily. She has the traditional Rebecca's pitcher from the story in the bible. But her signature pieces are those fashioned in a style called sgraffito. Sgraffito is the process of layering different colored clay then sculpting scenery from those layers. She is most known for scenes of barns, hillsides, trees, and fences. She depicts her scenes in both winter and summer.
Her pieces are hand turned and she fires them herself right there in the little farmhouse built in the 1800's. Sitting on a pretty piece of land with nothing around much but farmland and quiet neighbors who are used to hearing Judy at her wheel.
Judy says there isn't much traffic down her way and that you still look up when a car passes. You most likely know the driver. You most likely have known them your whole life.
In 2005, Judy thought up Vezzel puzzles which doesn't surprise me after meeting her. She's the type person who has the sort of conversation that makes you smile the whole visit. Her Vezzel puzzles are a grouping of small pottery pieces that will only fit one way on their tray. They come with a photo of their proper placement and pitty the person who loses the cheat sheet.
Judy is a natural flea market style gardener. She has small flower beds dotting the property that are home to discarded pottery pieces and old farm implements. Some of the roses and ornamental shrubs that grow on her property were planted by her mother or grandmother. It's an attractive mix of memorabilia. The old tobacco hook above was used on the farm when Judy's family farmed tobacco.
If you see something you like here, you'll have to contact Judy directly.

When we tell you that Google Street View now takes you into the sea, you might initially think the service must be suffering from similar glitches to Apple's new Maps app, which appears to have been getting more things wrong than right since its launch last week.
But Google Maps' new underwater feature is just as it should be. Indeed, armchair travelers, non-swimmers and marine enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that the Web giant has today unveiled some beautiful coral reef panoramas, allowing users to explore spectacular ocean scenery off the coast of Australia, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
Apple's Maps developers, currently working on taking cities out of the water and placing them back on land, must surely be looking on with envy just now.
"Starting today, you can use Google Maps to find a sea turtle swimming among a school of fish, follow a manta ray and experience the reef at sunset — just as I did on my first dive in the Great Barrier Reef last year," Google Maps' Brian McClendon wrote in a post on the company's blog.
Google worked with the Catlin Sea Survey, the University of Queensland's Global Change Institute and the Underwater Earth organization to collect the incredibly detailed, high definition images.
Traveling to a depth of up to 100 meters, a specially-designed camera snapped pictures of unique underwater locations such as Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Hawaii's Hanauma Bay, with a team of experts later stitching them together to form the 360-degree panoramas.
Speaking about the sea mapping expedition earlier this year, project leader Ove Hoegh-Guldberg of the University of Queensland said, "The visual nature of the project will help bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public awareness. The Catlin Seaview Survey comprises a series of studies which will reveal to the public one of the last frontiers on Earth: the oceans."
The video below gives you some idea of what to expect when you dive in.

Rams running back Steven Jackson can void his $7 million option for the 2013 season and move to any other team that makes him an offer in free agency, but he's given no indication that he wants to leave St. Louis.
There also has been a lot of noise from the Rams side about keeping Jackson around, although they'd like to do it at a team-friendlier salary than $7 million. Coach Jeff Fisher reiterated the team's desire to remain in the Jackson business on Friday at the combine and said that talks are underway with Jackson's agent to make that happen. Even better, those talks are apparently going well.
"We've had discussions with Eugene Parker, and thus far things look good," Fisher said, via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I think it's identifying what both sides want moving forward. 'Jack' knows how I feel about him and that we want him back. But we've got time. We've got a few more weeks and we'll see where it goes."
If Jackson is going to give up $7 million, he'll likely be looking for a commitment beyond the current season, although the Rams probably don't want to go too far with a guy who turns 30 in July. Given the interest on both sides, though, it seems like an agreement is there to be made to keep Jackson in the only NFL uniform he's ever worn.

"the neosid effect"
All in all the only sane solution i have seen here is installing the package from experimental which is now in unstable, so no need for all these kind of trickery…
And i heard a few people saying it works now (irc, this thread), so if it doesn't for you, please open a new thread as it would be a different issue with the same endresult - and none of the included """solutions""" is good anymore… (if they were at any time).
P.S.: I can't help with the issue at hand as i don't have radeon or nvidia cards, but if i would read one of the posts above i wouldn't even bother to help as i would prefer to work on my skill to juggle with running chainsaws. That would be at least saner and easier… so splitting your issue to a new one is a very good idea…
The neosid Effects:
1. I have received thank you messages, about how my testing and posted results have saved people from giving up on aptosid.
2. The upgrade to sid, is not resolved yet, as was inferred above. I had to revert to my own posted commands, on page 3 of this thread, yet again, and we are working fine, here. Others have reported the same; with the downgrade.
3. As to "sanity" and "trickery", when X is broken, waiting over Ten days (now) is far from acceptable behavior, even for sid. A workaround, if worked out, and easily instructed, as I did, would be in order. While each may have their own, and sometimes differing results, other people have corroborated the same results, as I experienced. I do not, generally, doubt posts of other methods, as working. However, on my system, those posted experimental usage commands worked out to be an insanely difficult, to get back out of. I actually reverted back from experimental, the hard way, and which does not always work. I have reports, that had I not posted a solution, to work back out of the failed experimental instructions, they would have left aptosid, for another, more reasonable distro, and all that is involved with it.
4. I do not think, ..."is good anymore… (if they were at any time)." is appropriate forum statements. This opens the door to my next point.
5. It should be obvious, at this late date, that we should state whether our offered help, is seen validated, or not; along with an easy to follow, to a point, command instructions. Of course, an efforts success, or failure, may not be everyones same experience.
6. If you do not have the hardware in question, then you may certainly suggest better hardware, or even policy changes, from feet dragging, non-free companies, but why would you even attempt to in effect, call someone a lier, for hard working out a throughly tested workaround, that gets X up now?
7. As far as this thread, and its move, I have no control over this. If you believe we should take up another thread, I await your detailed recommendation, as I do not understand why a working, hard-fought workaround, would be moved; before the fix truly falls through to sid, and my dist-upgrades.
8. As far as I knew, this was a thread, and warning about nvidia (and ati I read), not working; after dist-upgrade. I also wonder why, as this was a "multi-arch" restructuring, and thus folder foul-up, why after 10 days, it is not in sid? By the time I write this, it may indeed be fixed. I stated this with my, quick and easy, testing downgrade commands, but the bug was still not fixed, a few minutes minute ago, here. I checked.
9. I think some of us have forgotten, that we are all in this together. What you post, reflects on the whole of open software. "Everything is permissible, but not everything is advisable." Please do not post guesses; without testing them, or stating that it's your best guess. Please do not infer, that the testing results of others is disingenuous, and please consider posting solutions that are easy to implement.
10. Most of all, what are we doing to reduce the amount of
required, for theses fixes, and also their temporary workarounds?

I may not own the hardware you talked about, but i contribute a fair share to software you have misused in various ways to get to your "throughly tested workaround" - so i think i am entitled to criticism your "solution": It can't be that well tested through as the pinning entry you recommend to use will downgrade every package which is effected by any install/upgrade request you do while it is in effect to testing and forbids the installation of any package from unstable or experimental (beside that you haven't even said that they NEED to remove it later). So, that you got a still working system and even the thing you desired was only possible with a not to small portion of luck, not skill nor through testing as something like --force-depends can't be tested. It usually just destroys systems if it is included in step-by-step guides and even as simple as looking at the manpages would have told you this.
But to get at least some value in this post:
As far as i know the current working solution is (if your system is already broken - at least a few sources suggest that current sid works and btw: even if it would be 10 days, waiting even longer isn't unbearable. At least if you are not an addict. You know what they say: "I can stop it at any time…")
echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-experimental.list
apt-get purge .*nvidia.*
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -t experimental install nvidia-kernel-source
m-a clean nvidia-kernel-source
m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source
apt-get -t experimental install nvidia-glx
echo "blacklist nouveau" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-experimental.list #optional
More about adding sources to your list and how m-a works can be found in the manual of course! Don't be as blind as entering whatever is written on a forum straight into your terminal without checking it.
Also note through that the amount of packages you need from experimental drops further and further. Pulling glx-alternative from experimental is for example a bad idea now as it is older than the sid one and this will become true for more. So watch out for messages about DOWNGRADE and do NOT perform them. Instead use the version dist-upgrade installed for you then and go on.
As you might know downgrades are not supported by the software nor the distribution and can cause a lot of trouble: Some of you have already experienced it. Downgrading with diversions is no fun at all…
For people already fallen into this trap something like that might help:
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/glx /etc/alternatives/glx
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install --reinstall --only-upgrade glx-alternative-mesa glx-alternative-nvidia glx-alternative-fglrx
Through i wouldn't hold my breath as i can't test it…
MfG. DonKult

Just to be clear for anyone trying to follow this torturous thread, towo's advice on page 1 to downgrade libgl1-mesa-glx to the testing version (7.10.2-3), and then pin it, continues to allow both my Nvidia systems to work with no video issues. Both systems are fully upgraded as of yesterday evening. Here is one:

Trolling, or worse, is where you take my stated, and verified post, which others have agreed helped, and then mixed it with my other posts. Where I was asking for help, and clearly stated what did not work. Don't you think I could have deleted my errors. Why do you think I didn't delete my mistakes? Do you never err? Which by the way, those were clearly stated, in a response to asking what I actually did. From the moment they were typed, it was clearly my attempt at guessing how to repair, the
experimental recommendation. Are you inferring Towo comes on these forums, just to mis-guild people? I think not. As far as my "folly", in trying a "team leader" suggestion, I re-broke my system; just to test it for the good of all. I almost had to reinstall.
, due to the lack of much help. I mean what really happened, is commands were posted; that were terse, and when they failed, I was told to "read the manual", and "are you kidding". What about the fact the those commands, cause problems for people? I fixed it myself, and even told you how i did it. Now, we have posts factually stating two things. One, the experimental method failed, with others, just as it did mine, and Two, My self discovered back-out (of experimental packs) worked, not only for me, but also others.
So guess what? Your "ingenious commands" (the new one above; by someone else) failed to work/fix, my dilemma, as they were the first thing I tried. How can you even be here, and not know the difference between theory and fact? How can you not know, that NOT everything, that is supposed to work, does?
Oh, and your inference that people can't, or don't read the texts, in between quoted commands, is insulting to us all, I'm sure. Would that anyone do so, there was never any question about which commands I posted, worked, or did not.
I did my job, and that, I picked. Including the mess I got myself into, and out of. I fully knew, the risks, going in. You are welcome. You see, I offered the working solution, in a speedy way, that was easy to follow, when peoples X was down. This got them going;
! What are you doing?
I actually fixed this temporary problem; 3 different ways.
1. sgfxi. It worked.
2. The vague, "just use testing", I turned into something actually doable; fast.
3. I even showed how to fix the posted, "experimental" method;
it failed, for some people.
Aptosid Knight,
It seems you are in dire need; of a knight. Yet, I don't have time, for this extra, added, horse foo. So, fight the good fight, noble ones.
If I mistook towo, as forum leader around here, that was a mistake, on my part. If you read what I did, I effectively showed, how towo commands didn't work for some people. Now, I see "team" people here are saying (I think) "experimental" was never a good idea, if running Sid. I would generally agree.
As far as temporarily downgrading, a pack to testing, so that X works, and right now, that was the suggestion of the people who broke it; in the first place. That's in the bug reports. I just added to what Piper knew (and towo, to be fair), and made it easy (to a point), and fast.

I just unheld my nvidia stuff and upgraded - so this problem is solved!
nVidia and compatible glx/mesa is in Debian Sid now.
At least on amd64.

Unhold with....
echo libgl1-mesa-glx install|dpkg --set-selections
and with init 3
(Actually, check for other warnings here; before upgrade. Also, consider using apt-listbugs. Plus, there's been some issues, with repo's.)
apt-get dist-upgrade
Yes, the wait is over. It works. My post, on page 3, is no longer needed. That was from the 17th, to the 28th, which was about a week, and 3 days, where using those parts, in testing (for sid users), would get you going; until today.
Nvidia; amd64 here.

Just released libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri from hold and followed the correct du procedure.
All is working well on my 32 bit install.
Off topic; good to see that it is also working on 64 bit. Time to do a 64 bit install now.

on my system
"Linux eiche 3.0.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 24 02:24:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
(normally the perfect computer)
updates of some packages still crashes the X server - like reported:
module glx and fglrx not found,
even with correctly loaded modules.
Any installation of one of the packages in the attachment prevents the X server to start (if you keep dependencies).
My Linux level is fairly ok, this is not a beginners remark.
In my opinion this is a severe bug.
Best regards...

You have fglrx
nvidia packages -- what the heck? What is your secret mystery GPU?
If you simply follow the manual, you should not have such a problem.
Here the nvidia driver is working fine on 2 systems.

Yes, both, because one image is running on 13 Laptops, if st is broken we just change the disks.

While running the same image/disk on different machines will work quite ok with Linux, there are some points where you need to adapt them. Using closed source graphics drivers from different vendors is one of those points. Running nvidia and fglrx on the same installation will always lead to problems, as both drivers tend to overwrite core Xorg files making them unusable for any other driver.
You may file bug reports at nvidia and amd/ati commercial sites, but I do not think that they will care much.
Adapting fstab, host & mail names is necessary also.

I dont want to argue about my choise of installation - it is working fine since years. Its one image fitting all the hardware of different laptops without changes.
What happend: Update of packages appear, the X server fails with message
"failed to load module glx" and
"failed to load module fglrx"
even if these modules are loaded directly.
I set the responsible packages - see last attachment - to "hold" and submit a bug report.
The only answers are flames.
So I stop conversation. Bye.

I really do not see flames here, sorry - just people trying to help you. Please re-read my post above. With every upgrade of Xorg or fglrx or nvidia several files of Xorg (specially those -glx ones) will be overwritten. This has nothing to do with your "choice of installation", but is a common problem of the both closed source drivers.

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' Season 9: Even More Insane Art House Clips!
A few weeks ago we started to see the promotional campaign for 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' begin to roll out, trading up the Oscar campaign and anime renditions of the previous year for an incomprehensible, albeit hilarious Swedish art house campaign. Three clips were good, but get ready to watch the Paddy's pub gang get even weirder in nine new promos!
If you thought 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' season 9's first clips celebrating the move to FX's spinoff network FXX were "out there" before, you haven't seen anything yet. FX has released the full round of all nine promos, and our head hurts from attempting to dissect the bizarre monochrome Swedish-language ads.
Taking those at face value, details are light on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia''s ninth season other than guest appearances from singer Josh Groban and 'Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, and that 'Game of Thrones' showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have written an episode.
We'll leave you to check out the mind-boggling promos for yourself above and below, and tell us what you want to see from 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' when season 9 premieres this September!

Other alternatives from the AUR include:
- thunderbird-esr-binAUR (a long-term supported version)
- thunderbird-beta-binAUR (the official cutting-edge version by Mozilla)
- thunderbird-nightlyAUR (a nightly version)
There are a number of language packs available, if English is not your preferred language. To see a list of available language packs, try:
$ pacman -Ss thunderbird-i18n
EnigMail - Encryption
EnigMail is an extension that allows writing and receiving email signed and/or encrypted with the OpenPGP standard. It relies on the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG).
It can be installed from addons.mozilla.org (e.g. through the
Add-ons Manager) or the AUR. Common packages are: thunderbird-enigmailAUR and thunderbird-enigmail-binAUR.
Sharing the public key
There are a variety of ways to distribute the public key. One way is to upload it to a public keyserver network. Another is to share it with friends who are also using email encryption.
Encrypting emails
First of all, encryption does not always work properly with emails containing HTML. It is best to make all of the encrypted emails plain text by choosing Options > Delivery Format > Plain Text Only in the new email window.
Once the email is finished it can be signed through the OpenPGP menu.
Decrypting emails
Assuming that the email was encrypted properly, just trying to open it should result in a popup window asking to type in the keyphrase.
Lightning - Calendar
Lightning is a calendar extension that brings Sunbird's functionality to Thunderbird. You can use addons.mozilla.org or the AUR package lightning-binAUR to install Lightning.
FireTray - Tray icon
FireTray is an extension that adds a customizable system tray icon for Thunderbird. It can be installed from addons.mozilla.org or the AUR package thunderbird-firetrayAUR.
Tips and tricks
Setting the default browser
network.protocol-handler.app.* keys have no effect and will not be able to set the default browser.
Recent versions of Thunderbird use the default browser as defined by the system MIME settings. This is commonly modified by the Gnome Control Center (Gnome Control Center > Details > Default Applications > Web) (available in: gnome-control-center).
This can be overridden in Thunderbird through Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor by searching for
If the following three are all set to
false (default), turn them to
true, and then Thunderbird will ask you when clicking on links which application to use. Depending on the chosen desktop, common values include
/usr/bin/exo-open (Xfce) or
/usr/bin/xdg-open (non-DE environments). Remember to check "Remember my choice for .. links".
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
Plain Text mode and font uniformity
Plain Text mode lets you view all your emails without HTML rendering and is available in View > Message Body As. This defaults to the Monospace font but the size is still inherited from original system fontconfig settings. The following example will overwrite this with Ubuntu Mono of 10 pixels (available in: ttf-ubuntu-font-family).
Remember to run
fc-cache -fv to update system font cache. See Font Configuration for more information.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"><string>monospace</string></test> <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same"><string>Ubuntu Mono</string></edit> <!-- For Thunderbird, lowering default font size to 10 for uniformity --> <edit name="pixelsize" mode="assign"><int>10</int></edit> </match> </fontconfig>
Webmail with Thunderbird
Please see upstream Wiki: Using webmail with your email client.
LDAP Segfault
An LDAP clash (Bugzilla#292127) arises on systems configured to use it to fetch user information. A possible workaround consists of renaming the conflicting bundled LDAP library.

Email error: "This message is no longer available on the server"
Category: Outlook
I have recently (a month or so) started getting messages from the system administrator with the message
"This message is no longer available on the server."
I get hundreds of them.
I use IMAP with Outlook 2011 for the Mac ver 14.2.5
Any ideas what this is?
"This message is no longer available on the server."

Please post what was the solution for this problem. We have been having the same issue for a long time. When older emails are deleted from my IMAP Outlook 2011 for Mac I get many, many of these messages: "This message is no longer available on the server."
Thank you in advance for posting the solution for this for us and others.
Sorry for the trouble with your email. You may have an issue with file permissions on the server, or there may be a setting in your Mac Mail causing this. Its difficult to determine why because we don't have the information we need to diagnose this.
In order for us to check this we will need the email address you are using and the account information. Unfortunately, because this is a open forum that people can read online, you will want to contact support either by chat, phone (1-877-595-4482 ext 2), or by email (email@example.com). Please give tech support the exact steps to replicate the problem. Please include any login credentials and/or links we will need to replicate the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you get the email error "This message is no longer available on the server" it typically means that a message header that your mail client grabbed via IMAP on a previous connection, no longer is linking to a full message on the server.
This can usually happen if you're also connecting to the same email account from multiple devices, especially if you have one of those accounts setup as a POP3 connection with the default option to remove message from the server after retrieving them.
You could also be having this error with multiple IMAP devices, if you've deleted a certain message from one device, and the others have not synced this change yet.
You can attempt to login to your email account via webmail to see your messages live on the server. If you're seeing other message in your Mac mail client, that are not seen from webmail, then these would more than likely be causing this error. If you remove them from your local mail client, the error should go away.
If that fails, you might also think about re-creating your email account in your mail client, so that it begins synchronizing from the server fresh again.
Please let us know if you're still encountering any problems with this.

The Fifer depicts a young piper in guard band team. In exploration of the unity of shape and color, the painter paid attention to the portrait of the character's personality. The painter pursued a stable and bright scene in color and then suddenly turned to the dark where the characters were depicted in light gray and flat background and the body was performed in general color block. In this painting, no shadow, no eye level, no outline, only with the minimum level to paint and negate the profound feeling of three dimensions. Daumier said Manet's painting as flat as cards. Naturalist writer Zola once praised in front of this painting, "I believe no one could like Manet use simpler means to achieve this stronger effect."And now this painting did not give people a great shock. However, in the era of Manet, the advantage of this painting was the rebel, inconsistent with the feudal ethical code. First, this painting had no content; second, it had no deep meaning, only a little boy with nothing to show and represent. Moreover, Manet painted this work very quickly and totally changed his previous techniques. At that time, all the salon judges were unwilling to accept this work, who would have guessed that after more than 100 years, this painting is worth RMB 800000000 Yuan.
In 1860s, Manet who had just got rid of his first teacher Couture's authority was also misunderstood by contemporaries. He experienced several failures in the salon. His figure paintings made in the studio gave people a strange impression and aroused many critics. For instance, The Fifer was refused by the official salon committee in 1866.
This painting represented a royal guard young light cavalry playing the piccolo which was a high-pitched small wooden flute and used to guide the soldiers into battle. The name of the flute became the title of the painting. The musician played by a child in the studio occupied a central position in this painting. He was clearly shown on the gray background with subtle color changes. Without an exact space, the painting bottom made people feel air flowing around him. The painter often used this neutral impalpable background in his portraits, which was edified by the Spanish painters in the golden age, especially Velazquez and Murillo. Not long ago, Manet travelled to Madrid and highly praised them. Because Manet wanted to let this painting appear to be isolated and avoid the impression of creation in parades or in military training site, Manet did not add any anecdote. The child, clothing and piccolo constituted the only theme. The painting was completed in the cold light of the studio, which could be confirmed from the short shade on the ground. Manet had joined the army as a sailor. He looked at this child sailor whose clothes were added for the painting purpose.
This outfit felt proud. His whole attention was centered on the perfect uniform decorated with red, black, white and gold and the golden metal sleeve. The music tube tied in white glistened in the men's tunic dark woolen clothes and trousers, short coat with brass buttons. The cloth tape tightening the child formed a light, lining with white shoes. Only the boy's face and hands were full of vigor, which formed a sharp contrast with the little stiff silhouette without any details. Manet's contemporaries accused the lack of thickness and too simple processing, like the innocent paintings printed in Ebinaer City. There was no entourage and no contact between the background and the characters. These also made the characters not real. The characters were treated with big colors, which was quite similar to the head portraits on cards and Japanese engravings. Manet's The Fifer was well received, which was a challenge to the disregard of the traditional concept in the theme of impressionist paintings.
The Fifer
The arts are sometimes overlooked, but they're a valuable part of culture and history.

Cool White LED with color temperature 7000K to 7500K implies a mild blue tint in the white glow. Cool White is preferred in many applications because the light they output makes items illuminated appear crisper. Cool White is often preferred in bathrooms and other task areas. Power cord with a built-in 16 function controller includes Combination, In Waves, Sequential, SLO-GLO, Chasing/Flashing, Slow fade, Twinkle, Steady on, Step Lighting, Mixed Chasing, Mixed Flashing, Three Light Mixed and more effects. Note that Cool White is the brightest white LED rope light we carry. Pure white LED is not as bluish as the xenon light. Our Cool white LED is as close to xenon. However, pure white LED appears clearer white color than Cool white LED. Usages and Advantages: Durable, tough and bright. Provide dynamic lighting effect. The best choice for all around accent lighting for household or commercial decoration.

Lads from Lagos pose as US troops to snare unwary ladies
'Breaking hearts and bank accounts' on home front
The Lads from Lagos have struck again, this time posing online as US servicemen at war overseas in order to become "romantically involved" with American women fond of a man in uniform and then "prey on their emotions and patriotism".
"We are seeing a number of scams being perpetrated on the internet, especially on social, dating-type websites where females are the main target," explained Chris Grey, spokesman for the US Army Criminal Investigation Command.
"These perpetrators, often from other countries, most notably from Ghana, Angola and Nigeria, are good at what they do and quite familiar with American culture," he added.
US military investigators say that female victims of the online scammers have been "swindled out of thousands" by the Lads, who are cutting a swathe through American womanhood "breaking hearts and bank accounts" as they go.
According to the Army detectives, a scammer will often take on the true name and rank of a US serviceman fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan, generally acquiring photos from the internet to back up the imposture.
Having enticed a lady in the States into an online relationship (often including an early offer of marriage, which Grey says is highly unlikely in the case of a real US soldier) the crooks then begin to ask for money. The cash is often supposedly to be spent on phones or laptops to be used to keep in touch with the woman.
What makes US brass hats particularly cross about this is that the Lads will often falsely claim that soldiers overseas aren't allowed to make or receive phone calls or letters, or that they are denied access to their own bank accounts while in combat.
"We've even seen instances where the perpetrators are asking the victims for money to 'purchase leave papers' from the Army or help pay for their flight home so they can leave the war zone," said Grey.
The US Army always, of course, provides its members with a free flight home from any war it may send them to - though in some cases a posthumous one. Nor does it charge fees for leave passes or permission to marry.
Grey and his colleagues at Army CID warn that there isn't a lot they can do to stop the scams, so it's simply down to American ladies to be a bit less credulous. ®

This wiki page contains the status of the "Automated webapp tests for MyFaces core and extensions" GsoC 2010 Project. Feel free to contribute with comments, issues and improvements.
For now, the source code of the project can be found in a google code project:
and it will soon be available in MyFaces codebase. The API proposal followed, with small changes can be found at:
The scope of this project is to provide a complete and easy to use testing framework for MyFaces core and extensions, but for any webapp user aplication as well. Using this API you will test the real instances and resources of the webapp, assuring both unit and integration testing.
A typical usage of the testing API looks like this:
@View(id = "test.xhtml", pageBeans = @PageBean(clazz = ExampleBean.class)) // this view will be accessed and the beans will be installed @Configuration(SomeConfiguration.class) // the configuration class contains the Dependencies @RunWith(WebappTestRunner.class) public class ExampleTestCase { @Assertable private ExampleBean exampleBean; // specified as PageBean, thus it is a valid resource, a CGLIB proxy will be injected @Tester private WebappTester tester; // will provide all necessary methods to control the test case public void testApplyInputValue() { webappTestCase.assertThat(exampleBean.getInput()).is("default value").before(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE); webappTestCase.input("test value").into("testForm:fieldId"); webappTestCase.click("testForm:buttonId"); webappTestCase.assertThat(webappTestCase.getFacesContext().getExternalContext()).is("String"); webappTestCase.assertThat(exampleBean.getInput()).is("test value").before(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION); webappTestCase.assertThat("#{exampleBean.input}").is("test value").after(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION); webappTestCase.expectCall(exampleBean.action()).in(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION); exampleBean.actionListener(null); webappTestCase.expectLastCall().in(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION); } }
For configuring the test case, a set of annotations are provided:
Class annotations: @View, @PageBean, @Configuration and @ConfigurationTestSuite
- Field annotations: @Tester, @Assertable
Alongside this config annotations a testing method will nead @RunWith, @Test and @Deployment annotations provided by JUnit and Arquillian. A short description of each annotation folows:
- @View: contains an id value for the page view id under test and an pageBeans list for configuring the beans of the page.
@PageBean: allows the user to specify the class, scope and name of a page bean within a "@View" config.
@Configuration: holds a WebappConfiguration value where you can specify any resource and library that should be added to the test at deploy time.
@ConfigurationTestSuite: this annotation can be used to specify a list of configurations(WebappConfiguration type). The API will run the annotated testing class with each of the configuration from the list. An N-Configuration list will generate N tests with specific deploys.
@Tester: this field annotation should be used to configure the Tester of the test case. Using this annotation, the API will inject a WebappTester instance at runtime.
- @Assertable: should be attached to any field that will be the subject of an assertion in the testing method. The API injects a proxy instance for the fields.
- @Deployment: is the method annotation provided by Arquillian, that configures the deployment archive for testing. This is a drawback of the current version of the API, for now this method should call an Tester.createArchive(); that will create the deployment archive.
- @Test: JUnit annotation for the actual testing methods.
@RunWith: The testing class must contain an "@RunWith(WebappTestRunner.class)" configuration, to tell JUnit to use the API's runner.
For controlling the test case, the functionality and all the necessary methods are provided using the WebappTester field. This field should be annotated with "@Tester". By default the API will inject an WebbapTesterImpl instance. With the help of this Tester one can make assertions using:
- expectLastCall()
and do actions using:
- click(buttonId)
- input(string).into(fieldId)
The Tester offers access to the facesContext and the viewRoot by the "getFacesContext" and "getRoot" methods.
Adding extra functionality and extending the API is very easy. The main access point where a default implementation can be customized and overridden is by replacing the WebappTestConfiguratorImpl default implementation from the services support, with the default config.
In the implementation section of the framework a metadata based solution was used. When running a test, the API just collects informations about the data under test, creating a list of assertions and actions. When the data gathering is finished, the API runs the actual test, launching an initial view request and evaluating each assertion and action.
The main technology behind the API is Arquillian which, with the help of a unit testing framework(JUnit) and ShrinkWrap, can run test cases within a container using the real resource instances. The API is using an embedded Tomcat server as the default container where the test cases will be executed, and the unit testing framework used for testing is JUnit.
The technology behind accessing pages programatically is "HtmlUnit". With it you can be able to invoke pages, fill out forms, click links, etc. CGLIB was also heavily used for proxy-ing and managing classes by reflection.
For now, the unit testing framework supported is JUnit. The API should be extended to add functionality and support for TestNG as well.
The current initial version of the API adds some restraints when using assertions. If a bean instance call is used as an argument for "assetThat()", then for the given bean only one method call is supported. Ex: "exampleBean.getInput()"-SUPPORTED; "exampleBean.getProperties.getInput()" – NOT SUPPORTED
Improvements should be done for exceptions, messages and logs which are now just shallow implemented.
The @Deployment annotation, that should be added in any test case is e weakness of the current version. Arquillian is looking for a method configured with this annotation, and if it is not provided it trows an exception. A workaround for this issue will be required for next versions.
For now the Tomcat container support that Arquillian provides requires a servlet-mapping for the WebappServletTestRunner, in the "web.xml" file.
Using a metadata based solution by initially creating a list of test data and doing the actual test afterward, debugging in the test class method will be disabled.
Feel free to add any problems and issues that you have encountered using the API.
Any feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
