Kate, this is a delicious 'slush'! I reduced the recipe by half, but when I make next summer, I'll certainly be making the full amount! I think this would also be good with coconut rum, or any flavored vodka that you may be partial to....Thanks so much for sharing!

From the time Bob Winter opened his mouth, it was obvious that he wasn't from around here. He came, in fact, from New Jersey, which is about as 'not Alabama' as a state can be.
Winter came from 'up there' to be superintendent of education for the Tuscaloosa City Schools. And one of the first things that popped into my mind was how the two places compare.
'You come from the state which has the second-best funded schools in the country to the state with the second-worst funding for schools,' I noted.
'That's right,' Winter said.
'What's the difference?'
'Teacher's unions,' he said. I pressed him harder, but he said that was it in a nutshell.
Maybe Winter oversimplified the situation. But what he said is at the heart of suspicions that dog calls for spending more money on education.
Any time the discussion turns to funding for education, someone will eventually plead, 'it's for the children.' But is it really?
With the economy stagnant and no real sign of change on the horizon, we'll hear that none too subtle guilt trip laid on that state's residents. If it gets heated enough, and the state's residents don't become salivating dogs reacting to the tinkling bell, they'll be called ignorant and heartless.
But when we spend more money on education do children really get a better education?
The answer is quite obviously no. Private schools spend far less per child and typically get better quantifiable results. Most proponents of increased funding for education say that's not a fair comparison. Private school children are likely to have advantages that make them better students.
If that's the case, the argument could be made that funding is irrelevant. Outcome will be predestined by the socio- economic status and value system of the student's family. But our country's philosophical foundation is based on opportunity and the chance to improve your station in life.
Most people believe that education is an essential ingredient in the recipe for success. But how does increased funding actually increase the likelihood that schoolchildren will receive the education they need?
Increased funding proponents argue that increasing teacher salaries will attract better candidates, but there isn't a lot of evidence to support that.
More goes into being a good teacher than simply understanding the subject matter. And classes in methodology are no substitute for the innate desire to share knowledge with a willing student. The really good teachers have that and they'll do the job because they love it, not because the school board kicks up the salary range a couple of notches.
I have two children in public schools and I have, for the most part, been impressed with the people who have taught my children. There are some exceptions. But most seem like solid citizens who are willing to put more than the minimum effort into their jobs. They've been responsive to us as parents and seem to care about our kids.
I've had few qualms with school-level administrators. Most seemed to work hard to keep an orderly learning environment for students and to treat students and teachers fairly.
But above the school level, the system seems to break down. The focus seems to shift more to employees than the education consumer and taxpayer. Job preservation is usually the top priority when facing funding cuts.
Administrators also seem to overlook the education consumer in making other decisions. The school calendar is determined by teachers with little thought to how it impacts the primary consumer, families of children attending schools. Children return to school in the heat of August when utility bills are the highest and many families would like to vacation.
Attendance policies revolve around school funding rather than family needs. When I attended school, my father could take me out of school whenever he wished and if I missed school, his excuse was good enough. Now, a doctor's excuse is required for an excused absence.
When I was in school, I could be exempt from exams if I had an 'A' average in class. Now exemptions are also tied to attendance. The reason is that schools are funded based on average daily attendance and funding comes first.
That amounts to gradually siphoning away from parents control over their children's lives and transferring that control to the state. It grates on parents who feel they ought to be in charge of their children's future and fuels the move to home school and private schools. It certainly makes the consumers, who should be the chief advocates for schools, less inclined to support funding increases.
Funding arguments also take a hit when they see administrators who failed at the school level 'promoted' to the central office. It happens because administrators fear the legal and political entanglements involved with firing or demoting them.
Perhaps some of these people were better suited to central office administrative jobs. But some were simply put there because they could do less damage and were allowed to ride out the years until their pensions ripened. Carrying that kind of dead weight kills the credibility of arguments for better funding.
But perhaps the biggest drag on education is the concept of basing educational success on outcome rather than opportunity. An educational system that never allows students to fail or drop out will fail the majority of people using it. A dumbed down, slowed down educational system doesn't fill society's needs and taxpayers don't like paying for it.
It is true that in World War II, convoys traveled at the speed of the slowest ship and that was best for the convoy as a whole. But convoys also didn't stop to rescue torpedoed ships. As heart-rending as it was, they had to leave them to their fate and continue on for the good of the war effort.
Were convoys run like our educational system, most of the ships would continue to circle around the torpedoed vessel, and the convoy would sustain further damage. At some point students must demonstrate the initiative and desire to keep up. That has to come from home. Schools can't provide that.
The public's representatives in this, school board members, are usually overwhelmed with minutiae and bogged down in bewildering bureaucratic jargon and regulations. These have been attached to their duties to keep them at arm's length from real issues. It keeps the professional bureaucrats in charge of the system.
Public schools will continue to call for more funding. It is what they do. But they must remember that the 'public' in public education includes the taxpayers. Taxpayers want to know what their money will actually accomplish and that it won't be wasted before they agree to spend more of it.

The fight is gone. It's not about democracy in a region of the world lacking basic freedom and human rights. It's all about religion.
Israel has been viewed as a friend to the U.S. because it has governed itself through the lens of Western values. As the biggest ally in a war-torn region, Israel has always been seen as worthy of protecting because it has been a freedom fighter for its people and democracy.
But, 10+ years removed from 9/11 and Israel is being perceived in a different role. The reality of Israel and its need to see itself as a Jewish state must be reconsidered.
In the past, it seemed just and warranted. Jews after WWII established Israel and fought for its independence.
The Holocaust and its lingering effects seemed to give Jews all the rights to press forward to make Israel a reality. Now, 60+ years later, the purpose appears diminished and less useful for the world's affairs.
From 1948 to 9/11, it seemed perfectly fine to fight for a Jewish state, but as time rolls forward, any religious state seems antiquated in its thinking and existing to only look for war.
Assuming logical circumstances, Israel will one day be governed by a non-Jewish Prime Minister, possibly an Arab. In its Knesset (Congress), Arabs have a voice.
Multi-culturalism will be more prevalent in the future of Israel. It's impossible to repress. The country allows non-Jews to vote and they have plenty of immigration.
The point is that being Jewish has nothing to do with running a country. Any democracy is a wonderful thing as long as it is duly separated from religion.
Religion and politics don't mix.
This has been the most influential piece of philosophy that has pushed the U.S. to become the world's leader. The U.S.' s Constitution attempts to apply this theory to everyday legal issues for its citizens. It is the driving force for maintaining order from potential religious chaos.
There is an argument made on religious background that says Israel is the Holy Land. This is a religious farce created by those stumping for biblical purposes.
There is no way G-d created the universe and said this part of the world is holier than that part. It is only a religious argument.
If Israel ceases to exist, Jewish people will be welcomed to migrate and settle in other places around the world. In the U.S., there is plenty of land to provide for a good start.
The U.S. should welcome all the people of Israel, including their wonderful vast amount of scientists, physicians and engineers, to make their home in a section of Nebraska, North or South Dakota.
Like Mormons in Utah, the Jews can continue to blossom and have influence among Americans. Jews don't need to grow their influence, though, in order to dictate and confront the world as a religious entity.
This is not a case of seceding to the wishes of the Arabs in the Middle East. All countries should be pressed towards democracy without religious intolerance and interference.

The David Beckham-led group behind MLS Miami remain confident that the franchise will launch sooner rather than later, it's simply a matter of lining up all the necessary pieces before making their move.
After a long period of radio silence, some light was shed on the current situation of the team, which was officially announced exactly 1,000 days ago.
According to the Telegraph, the team is in advanced talks with three or four potential investors, and will not finalize a stadium deal until securing additional funds via a new owner. The team hopes to land a deal by early 2017. The stadium is expected to cost roughly $300 million dollars including the land and would be an entirely privately funded initiative.
The team could then reportedly play their inaugural season in a temporary stadium. Preliminary discussions have reportedly already taken place with the Miami Dolphins for use of Hard Rock Stadium.
"As Miami Beckham United moves closer to launching a world-class soccer club in Miami, our team is in advanced discussions with a number of potential partners that would bring additional resources and expertise to the franchise," a spokesman for the team stated. "Any partner selected will share our vision of creating a team that makes Miami and MLS proud. David, Simon and Marcelo appreciate the sustained support of our fans as we work to make our club in Miami a reality."
Welcome to MLS…Sacramento Republic FC.
Ok, call me clueless, but I thought they had lined up investors months/years ago, and the delay was due to finding the right space for a stadium…? I live 2 hours from Miami, but I would much rather see Sacramento join MLS before this disaster-in-the-making does.
the current group doesn't have enough $$?
the dolphins stadium is actually a great soccer stadium, especially with the renovations. I would rather see a MLS team there then in a baseball field or turf nfl stadium.
Super Nintendo Chalmers
Actually, using Hard Rock makes sense, especially if they can come up with a decent reduced capacity configuration. It's better than NYFC playing in Yankee Stadium. It's a practical solution to the Miami stadium fiasco.
Old School
Go away please story.
Don't believe for one second that they are going to be on the field in the next three years, despite trying to set up a temp home. Call me when you've got a shovel in your hand Becks…
No outdoor sport will succeed in South Fla……fans down there are a bunch of front runners
Quit Whining About Soccer in the US
MLS just move on.
Selling at a huuuuge discount to someone who doesn't have enough money, and whose time ran out years ago to a city that will be underwater eventually.
Thank you

Summer Fun: Trouble on ComJacker Island is a new, amazing, episode that is split into 2 parts, with Part 1 being 15 minutes, and Part 2 being 1 hour long. The episode aired on MarioMario8989's channel on April 21, 2014. The episode aired in selected theaters around America in 3D on May 22, 2016.
When Yoshi is captured by Bowser while taking a vacation on ComJacker Island, Mario and Luigi must team up with Comjacker himself in order to save Yoshi.
Plot: Part 1/2
Yoshi is laying on the beach in a famous land called ComJacker Island. Bowser watches him and plots to kidnap him. One of King ComJacker's troops spots Bowser and sees him as the wanted fugitive, and tries to capture him. Bowser easily defeats him and calls him a "wimp", sending him back to tell King ComJacker that Bowser is on the loose. Bowser then captures Yoshi, and plans to lure the Mario Brothers to his secret trap.
Mario and Luigi get word of this, and set out to ComJacker Island. When they arrive, they find Yoshi and Bowser to be nowhere. They meet King ComJacker, king of ComJacker Island, and both of them decide to team up. They find a secret passage, and decide to enter it. Bowser spots them and uses his secret trap to send the Mario Bros, including ComJacker, falling into a pool of lava.
Plot: Part 2/2
As Mario and Luigi fall to their doom, ComJacker reveals he is always prepared, and uses a grapling hook to pull them out of the lava pit. After getting out, Mario finds out that Bowser not only has Yoshi, but Peach as well. This was a backup plan Bowser had thought of, and it would also help lure the Mario Bros. Mario, Luigi and ComJacker battle brainwashed troops of ComJacker, but they are overwelmed. Mario and Luigi are horrified to watch as one of Bowser's troops cut off Comjacker's head! Almost dead, ComJacker reveals he was never human, and without the help of him, Mario and Luigi can make it to Bowser. Mario questions this, and ComJacker answers in his final words, "IIIII'm aalllwayys preppaaarred...." ComJacker then perishes, being smashed by a brainwashed trooper. Mario builds up anger while he and Luigi escape the attacking troops.
Mario and Luigi arrive at Bowser's lair, learning that Bowser has gained new, terrifying powers. He uses his first power to look into Luigi's eyes, turning him to stone! Mario builds up anger, horrified to see his friend and brother are gone. Bowser walks up to Luigi, while Mario stands there numb. Before Bowser can smash Luigi, Mario blocks it. Bowser tries to turn Mario into stone, but Mario is not stone. He reveals that anger creates power, and uses his new ability to fly and move objects with his mind to beat up Bowser. Frusterated and angry that Mario foils his plans every time, Bowser also gains new power and engages Mario in a final showdown. Mario and Bowser fight as hard as they can, but both have equal powers. Bowser says that he still has his other powers. He uses his new laser vision to strike Mario down, as Bowser begins to destroy ComJacker Island.
Tired, weak, and scared, Mario lays on the ground, thinking all is lost. He hears yelling from Bowser's lair, and he finds Yoshi and Peach tied up. Using their cheers and messages to Mario about not giving up, Mario gains the power of trust and revenge, gaining extremely powerful powers. After thanking Peach and Yoshi, Mario goes off to ComJacker Tower, one of the tallest towers in the world and that was where Bowser was planning to destroy to flatten ComJacker Island. Using his powers, Mario defeats Bowser. Bowser fuels more anger, causing a superstorm. Almost striking him with lightning, Mario keeps on fighting Bowser, but anger is more powerful than trust. He feels about ComJacker's death, and Luigi being turned to stone. This triggers Mario's anger so much he rips the ComJacker Tower of the ground and impales Bowser with it, killing him. Mario lays down his anger, and uses his other power to revive Luigi and ComJacker. The crew rejoice as the world is saved again.

In case you the missed the news today, the Accellera VIP TSC released the first version of the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). This represents a significant achievement on the part of the TSC as it is the first standard SystemVerilog Base-Class Library and Methodology. While there has been a lot of hard work by many members of the TSC since December of last year when the OVM was chosen to be the basis of the UVM, for some of us, the road to get here was actually much longer - nearly 10 years in the making. Don't let the "Early Adopter (EA)" tag on this first release of UVM give you the wrong impression, since it is based on testbench best practices that have been used by hundreds of verification engineers for nearly a decade.
It all started back in 2000 at a small start-up named Verisity. At that time, Verisity was having success selling Specman, for building constrained-random, coverage-driven testbenches. However, there was a significant challenge to ramp up new engineers on how to build these powerful, automated verification environments, and there were a lot less verification engineers than today (still not enough in the industry but that is another story). Moshe Gavrielov, as the CEO, decided to form a team called "Specware" who created the first set of verification methodology best practices in the form of software verification patterns in the "Verification Advisor". This was a great start for helping proliferate verification knowledge transfer, but it was not enough. Verisity had a lot of very savvy Verification AEs and customers, and every AE and customer was very creative in developing their own style of testbench - so creative, in fact, that it was practically impossible for anyone other than the original developer to comprehend the code that had been written, which made testbenches difficult to reuse and a lot of effort to write and maintain.
This lead to Yoav Hollander, the founder of Verisity, working with the Specware team, AEs, and some expert customers and consultants to take things a step further by building the first commercial methodology for constructing reusable verification components, known as the e Reuse Methodology (eRM). (I was fortunate to be one of the AEs involved in this effort.) The eRM was built by generalizing all the best practices that had been accumulated by that time. It included most of the key methodology concepts you see today in UVM including:
Here is an "old-school" slide from when we introduced the original vision of eRM:
Over the next several years, the eRM was adopted by hundreds of customers, and Verisity used the eRM to build the first commercial e Verification Components (eVCs) for standard protocols like PCI, AHB, and Ethernet. Many additions were made to eRM including a register package (vr_ad), module to system reuse, and HW/SW co-verification, and customers across the world continue to adopt and apply eRM on projects today.
When Cadence acquired Verisity in 2005, SystemVerilog was starting to gain attention as a second standard verification language, so several of the original eRM experts decided to adapt the eRM concepts to build a SystemVerilog verification methodology, which was released as the URM in 2006. The URM was a single verification methodology for both SystemVerilog and e, including support for multi-language environments. At the time Mentor had developed the AVM base-class library for SystemVerilog, and since both Cadence and Mentor were making their libraries available via open-source, and they shared a common communications approach based on the OSCI TLM standard, the two companies decided to unify AVM and URM to create the OVM, which was released open-source on OVMWorld in January of 2008. The OVM has been a very successful joint development effort and Cadence not only managed to bring to it all the mature, proven concepts of eRM, we also contributed a number of SystemVerilog specific features including:
OVM has been a huge success in the market, which eventually lead the Accellera VIP TSC to choose it as the basis of the UVM, It has been a long time in the making but the core methodology concepts from eRM to URM to OVM to UVM have remained consistent with small refinements along the way. So, as we celebrate the "birth" of UVM today, we also celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the of eRM - a bit corny but appropriate...

How To Disable Auto Correction On Android Nougat
Here you will be guided to disable Auto Correction feature on Android Nougat. The steps are simple and easy to follow for those wish to turn off Auto Correction on Google Android Nougat.
Auto Correction feature that's planted on every Android OS version can be troublesome for some, especially myself. Since we don't need to be suggested and forced to use which are the right spellings for the words we are typing.
Beside my chatting friends understand already what the meaning of the misspelled words from me, therefore why should I correct them first?
Let alone when I type messages (SMS, BBM, WhatsApp, Line, Viber, etc) in a language different from my phone's default language. On that situation the existence of auto correct telling me the suppose to be correct words can be very annoying.
On the latest Android Nougat, we are also handed with the Auto Correct feature that's supposed to be a guide when typing. But on this version we are given with two keyboard types, one is Virtual Keyboard and the other is Physical keyboard type.
On the Virtual keyboard type we can find all the available keyboard apps including Google keyboard, while the Physical keyboard type is for those using hardware keyboard to be connected either wiredly or wirelessly to our Android device.
As to disable auto correction on Android Nougat we must go to virtual keyboard settings then choose the keyboard app we are using.
So the exact steps to turn off auto correction on Google Android Nougat as follow.
How to turn off auto correction on Android Nougat
- On your device go to Settings.
- Then choose Languages & Input -> Choose Virtual keyboard.
- Now select the keyboard app you are using. For example is Google Keyboard.
- Choose Text correction.
- Then find the Auto-Correction toggle and then turn if off.
On this page, you will also find other options regarding this issue, toggle on/off any options there based on your need.
How to turn off auto correction on Google Indic Keyboard

- Yeah, China was the ally of the US. They called it the "China-Burma-India theater" or the "China Offensive/Defensive," where the US decided to support China's war with Japan which would benefit us in our war with Japan. Here are some links, several of them include additional photos http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-C-ChinaO/ http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-C-ChinaD/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Burma_India_Theater http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/31/opinions/china-wwii-forgotten-ally-rana-mitter/ https://www.loc.gov/vets/stories/ex-war-cbi.html http://www.history.army.mil/brochures/72-38/72-38.HTM http://www.usaaf-in-cbi.com/
- How come they didn't really fight with them against communist ?
- u/Prufrock451 summarizes the American role in the civil war quite well, here : The United States intervened massively in the Chinese Civil War. Before World War II, the Communists were just one more faction. It's important to remember that when China went to war with Japan, Chiang Kai-Shek didn't control a strong central government with a renegade Communist army lurking in the back country. Chiang was more properly the most powerful of a coalition of local warlords. Many provinces were virtually independent, and Chiang had only indirect control over many of China's armed forces. (This is a big part of why World War II played out as it did in China; Chiang kept billions in aid for himself, parceling out weapons only to reliable subordinates. This was interpreted in the United States as corruption - but for Chiang, who was halfway between a gang chief and a feudal lord, his subordinates were always a bigger threat than Japan.) When Japan surrendered in 1945, the situation was this: Chiang controlled much of central China, while the Communists had made massive gains in northern China. The Soviets held Manchuria. The Americans had large bases in the Pacific and were starting to relocate forces west to occupy Japan. But huge areas in eastern China were still occupied; millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians remained there. The Allies ordered these Japanese forces to remain in place and maintain order until the Allies arrived to accept their surrender. That meant that Japan kept up its war against the Chinese Communists, under the guise of "law enforcement." (Thousands of Japanese troops actually remained in China until the Civil War's end, fighting as volunteers for Chiang's Nationalists.) U.S. Marines arrived to occupy many of China's ports and fanned out along the railroads to establish outposts. In the meantime, the U.S. Navy embarked thousands of Nationalist troops and began shuttling them to new garrisons across coastal China. Basically, the U.S. Armed Forces acted as a vanguard and a screen for the Nationalist reoccupation of much of China, halting the Communist advance and pushing them back in many areas. The United States gave Chiang a massive infusion of reconstruction aid, including billions in special loans (read: we'll write it off in 20 years after everyone who approved it is retired) and enough surplus military hardware to build entire armored divisions from scratch. The Communists were desperate to get their hands on these goodies; dozens of Americans and Communist Chinese died in skirmishes during the Civil War, many in Communist raids on U.S. depots or freight trains. So, the U.S. military bankrolled the Nationalists, flooded them with hardware, provided them with intelligence, acted as their logistical arm, occupied major cities on their behalf, enabled their enlistment of enemy troops, and even skirmished with the Communists. This was all well-known at the time. This is why the "who lost China" debate was so vicious - Americans were at their most war-weary and they were watching the waste of American blood and treasure as Nationalist China crumbled. After the Nationalists fell, the United States maintained an active intelligence presence and armed local chieftains in Tibet and Sinkiang (where the Soviets had a uranium-mining deal with the semi-independent government). It also bankrolled a division of renegade Nationalists who retreated to northern Burma and established a transnational opium cartel. After China intervened in the Korean War, the CIA used this puppet army to stage raids into southern China, hoping to ignite a second front and divide Chinese forces.

The NCHA and WIAC announced Tuesday that the two conferences have reached an agreement that will see the WIAC members leave the NCHA following the upcoming 2012-13 season – a year earlier than originally planned.
According to a news release, the conferences elected to expedite the departure of the WIAC members due primarily to the scheduling complications that would result if the WIAC members remained through the 2013-14 academic year.
"After considerable discussion, it was determined that it was in the best interest of both the NCHA and the WIAC to move up the departure date," NCHA commisioner Bill Kronschnabel and WIAC commissioner Gary Karner said in a joint statement. "In so doing, both conferences can begin immediately to stabilize their respective memberships and to develop long-term scheduling agreements."
The WIAC members withdrawing from the NCHA are Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Wisconsin-River Falls, Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Wisconsin-Stout and Wisconsin-Superior.

This year's Fulton Lecture examined how Supreme Court nominations in the sixties have shaped the appointments process today
The unprecedented level of media coverage and public scrutiny that surrounded Supreme Court nominations during the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon shaped the confirmation process and narrowed the types of candidates presidents consider, said Professor Laura Kalman when she delivered this year's Maurice and Muriel Fulton Lecture in Legal History.
Laura Kalman focuses on the period between 1965 and 1971, when Presidents Johnson and Nixon launched the most ambitious effort to control the Court since Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack it with additional justices.
A century ago, World War I set the modern First Amendment into motion. But wartime propaganda also gave rise to a critique that has shadowed speech rights right up through Citizens United and into our own time. For the war showed speech not only to be a form of protest, but also a form of power.
In his lecture, Professor Witt tells the story of a small but diverse group of Americans who took control of a Wall Street fortune to battle power with power, establishing a foundation with a breathtaking aim: to change the American mind.
Maurice Fulton of Highland Park, IL and Boca Raton, FL, formerly of Glencoe, former president and chairman of the board of the Fantus Company, died August 31 in Highland Park, Illinois, at the age of 94.
As the current Supreme Court Term draws to a close, the decision in one of the most closely watched cases of the year, NLRB v. Noel Canning, remains to be announced.
The case concerns the president's recess appointment power under Article II, sec. 2, cl. 3 of the Constitution. The Recess Appointments Clause states:

A protégée of Thurgood Marshall, Motley litigated in southern courtrooms during the 1940s and 1950s, when women lawyers scarcely appeared before the bar.

Rethinking the IS in IS-LM: adapting Keynesian tools to non-Keynesian economies Part 1
The IS-LM diagram was developed as a tool for analyzing Keynesian economies-economies with "sticky" prices and myopic households. In a series of two articles, Evan Koenig shows that a graphical apparatus similar to the traditional IS-LM diagram can be used to analyze economies that have optimizing, forward-looking households. In particular, an expectations-augmented variant of IS-LM analysis is fully consistent with a popular real-business-cycle model. Thus, the IS-LM diagram has wide applicability as a pedagogical device and as a framework within which to discuss policy. ; This article deals with an economy in which the capital stock is fixed. A subsequent article will discuss how the expectations-augmented IS-LM framework developed here can be extended to an economy with capital investment.

|IIS and Basic Authentication
|Tue, 16 Jan 2001 14:00:17 GMT
Problem: I'm trying to get IIS (with the isapi redirector) and Tomcat to cooperate on basic authentication. I've written a servlet that handles the basic authentication correctly using the req.getHeader("Authorization"); method and it works well when I connect directly to Tomcat on port 8080. But when I connect via IIS using the redirector, it never passes the authorization header to the servlet. In all other respects IIS and the redirector are working OK (from what I can tell) and I am able to run servlets etc just fine. My goal is to get my SERVLET to perform Basic Authorization (Authentication) via the standard http header. (The servlet verifies the id/password combo via a database). Envronment: IIS 5 with all patches as of 01/12/01 Win2K with all patches as of 01/12/01 Tomcat 3.2.1 downloaded 01/12/01 isapi_reredirect.dll downloaded 01/12/01 Any help is welcome. I've looked just about everywhere, scanned the list archives and haven't found anything. Sorry in advance if this is an FAQ. Andrew McAllister University of Missouri

The Portland Trail Blazers are an absolute, unmitigated mess. They did well to score a likely (protected through the top three picks) lottery selection from the New Jersey Nets on Thursday, but they've also decimated their roster, lost their second franchise player of the season, all without a working general manager to oversee things. The group also fired their well-respected (if not by the team) head coach Nate McMillan. And who best to take over from here as the team's latest fall guy? A 34-year old. Makes total sense, especially when you consider that the team might end up starting a 39-year old center for the rest of the season.
Except that, for all we've read about interim head coach Kaleb Canales, it seems like the relative youngster might be the absolute perfect choice to lead this team through a proper rebuilding project. Because even at that age -- a few years older than your typical NBA blogger, 44 years younger than the guy who worked as the color analyst during Wednesday's Chicago Bulls/Miami Heat tilt -- he appears to boast a pretty significant basketball mind. His ascension has been quick, but that tends to happen when you work twice as hard. Here's a snippet from a column written about Canales when he was named Trail Blazers assistant two years ago:
Crazy, because Canales is not a former NBA player and his father is not a former NBA head coach. Nope, he got to the big time by starting his coaching career in high school at 22 and then coached college ball at 24. At 25 he landed a video internship with the Blazers and some say he hasn't slept since.
"My rookie year I caught him sleeping on the couch," said all-star guard Brandon Roy. "I was like, 'You didn't go home last night?' And he's like, 'Naw.' So he's definitely like the hardest working dude."
Canales wasn't even born when the Blazers last won an NBA title in 1977, but you know what? Some of the brightest minds in basketball weren't even born the last time the Trail Blazers won an NBA title. Some of them are on a bench in Fort Wayne, Indiana; some of them are dodging top-20 lists at Bleacher Report, and some of the will get to guide what was once a proud franchise (and hasn't been, through no fault of those injury woes, for over a decade) through an extended training camp between now and the 2012 offseason.
Joel Freeman, also back in 2010, gathered a telling quote of his own:
"His enthusiasm is amazing," Blazers forward Dante Cunningham said. "Every day he pushes you, regardless of the situation. He knows you're tired. He knows that you just put in a two-a-day the day before. He knows that you've been working hard. But he still wants more. He wants you to be better. And as a coach, I think that's a great trait. Plus, his knowledge of the game is tremendous."
Things could flame out, from here. Hard work and a big ole pile 'a gray matter won't always translate to sound communication, patience, appreciation of opposing tactics, trust in one's abilities, or a willingness to grow. And, on a roster like this, none of Canales' traits will lead to many wins. And, on a team that has blown up its roster, and refused to hire a full-time GM, there is the worry that the new coach is being thrown to the wolves, and to take the full public heat for the team's missteps while owner Paul Allen boards a helicopter to somewhere far, far away.
This isn't the point, here. Even if the Blazers are setting Canales up to fail, they've still handed a gig to someone that deserves one, even at his age. As far as fall guys go, this one has quite the impressive resume. And even if he only lasts in the organization for a few more months, a few months from now won't be the last time we'll hear of Kaleb Canales, NBA head coach.

And then my post got an actual comment.
From someone other than my best friend.
Yay! *claps*
For a minute there I thought I was talking to myself.
I don't have a lot to report – my life has been kinda boring lately. I'm finally off work for the rest of the year, and I'm happy about that. I could use some time away from the plantation. My mom and sister will be here during the holiday, and honestly, I hope they don't drive me crazy. I'm' so used to my own space and my own thoughts, and they will be all up in my space for 10 days. My mom has promised me that she's gonna try to not get on my nerves, lets see how that goes.
Still looking for a job…I'm still optimistic that once the new year rolls around I'll get some calls. And my review at my current job was really good, which means more money for me come February.
I'm looking forward to the new year…a new start…a time to reinvent, rejuvenate, and recommit to the things that are important to me and the things I want to accomplish…but we'll discuss those later.

|Web Gun
Entry 15: A gun that shoots sticky spider webs.
|Ranged Weapon
|Shoots temporary Webs
|• Shops
• Crates
|$1800 +200
The Web Gun (aka. Webcannon, Web Launcher) is a ranged weapon that launches blobs of web. It does not cause damage, but is a useful defensive and mobility item with various applications.
The may be found sold in certain shops and rarely inside crates.
They are the second cheapest item in the game, tied with the parachute. They have a base value of $1800 plus an inflation multiplier of $200.
The weapon launches blobs of goo that become webs when they hit something. It has the approximate range of a light thrown object, and must spend a short time reloading after three shots. Like all ranged weapons, the Web Gun does not require ammunition and has unlimited usage. Projectiles of the Web Gun smashes pots, crates and other breakable objects.
Although the webs fired from the weapon cause no direct damage, they are still useful in combat as they fully immobilize enemies that touch them (excluding all types of Spider and the Ghost, which are immune to the effects of webs). It can even ensnare flying enemies such as Bats in mid-air.
This allows for easy avoidance of enemies, or - if the Web Gun is dropped - the ability to whip enemies to death without fear of retaliation.
Webs can also be deployed beforehand to catch projectiles like a Tiki Man's Boomerang or a Mummy's Fly Swarm attack, but will not impede shotgun bullets or rays of psychic energy.
This strategy should not be underestimated; a series of well-placed webs can make you untouchable.
Another useful function of the Web Gun is the ability to use your own webs to help you navigate difficult terrain.
Webs can be fired across long gaps to create a safety net, as the weapon's range is about equal to the distance the Spelunker can jump. This can be used to form a safe landing spot when crossing dangerous terrain such as the long spike pits found in the Jungle, as webs that land on spikes will prevent you from falling onto them and getting stabbed.
If you jump and shoot at the same time, the recoil will let you pull off a three block jump as if you had the Spring Shoes(4 blocks if you have the Spring Shoes). You can also imitate the function of the climbing gloves with the Web Gun. By facing a wall and firing webs as you jump, you can stick yourself to the wall. You can repeat this by jumping out of the web and firing again, climbing as high as you need to.
By shooting web onto the sides of ledges too high to grab onto, you can jump, catch the web and climb up - effectively increasing the height at which you can climb ledges by one tile.
Webs also makes for an excellent sticky bomb substitute. Simply shoot a web onto the place you wish to bomb, then throw the Bomb into the web.
Note that all varieties of spider are unaffected by webs; and the weapon does not work underwater.
Furthermore, unlike the webs generated as part of the environment, webs fired from the launcher will slowly disintegrate over time.
The web projectiles will trigger Arrow Traps, but won't catch the arrow as it comes out, so always disarm them from above their line of fire.

The Ontario legislature passed 14 bills during a busy sitting that began on February 16 and ended today.
The number of bills passed -- which equals last fall's sitting -- makes the two most recent sessions the most productive in recent years. The bills passed will deliver major progress on key priorities by:
During the sitting, the government also introduced seven additional bills that, if passed, would:
As we near the halfway mark of 2016, indicators and forecasts show that Ontario's economy is continuing to grow and create jobs. Ontario's economy is forecast to remain among the strongest in Canada. In 2015, the unemployment rate dipped to its lowest level since 2008. The minimum wage increased and average wages grew faster than inflation. The province attracted half of all venture capital in Canada.
Ontario's high school graduation rate is now more than 85 per cent and postsecondary enrolment continues to climb.
Last year the province announced 325 infrastructure projects across all regions, which are helping to create good jobs. Year over year, the province continues to create jobs, most of which are full-time and in above-average-wage industries.
When the legislature returns in the fall, the government will continue to focus on legislative priorities that support its economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs.
The four-part plan includes investing in talent and skills, including helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario's history and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.

When to use a grid in your design
Grids help you place your images in an aesthetically pleasing format. They take the pain out of trying to line up the edges of your images or crop them so they match up perfectly.
If you're working with 3 or more images as you build a design, use a grid to help you easily arrange them into pleasant compositions. Below, we've used a grid to organize 3 landscape images into a beautiful social media post.
You might want to use grids to show a progression, much like a storyboard, or merely for a stylistic effect.
Below, we've arranged 4 images depicting the year's 4 seasons, aiming to convey a passage of time in viewers minds.
