I was out on the town lounge hopping last night with from friends, and we went to this middle eastern foodshop on the corner of U street NW... I've lived in the "Capital of the world"(Washington DC) and have yet tried really any ethnic authentic food other than Mexican(favorite is Laurel Plaza off 18th) ..
I must say this is one of the best sandwiches I ever tasted! I think I'm going to make a mission this summer to try other's.. Ethiopian & Indian,..

Happy New year!

Neo somehow thought the surface of the water in the tub needed to be explored...

Congress decided to have debates about the killing of Christmas.

Congress decided to have debates about the killing of Christmas. Here is an actual passage/poem by Congressman Dingell.

'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the House,no bills were passed 'bout which Fox News could grouse.Tax cuts for the wealthy were passed with great cheer,so vacations in St. Barts soon should be near.Katrina kids were all nestled snug in motel beds,while visions of school and home danced in their heads.In Iraq, our soldiers need supplies and a plan,and nuclear weapons are being built in Iran.Gas prices shot up, consumer confidence fell.Americans feared we were in a fast track to ... well.Wait, we need a distraction, something divisive and wily,a fabrication straight from the mouth of O'Reilly.We will pretend Christmas is under attack,hold a vote to save it, then pat ourselves on the back.Silent Night, First Noel, Away in the Manger,Wake up Congress, they're in no danger.This time of year, we see Christmas everywhere we go,From churches to homes to schools and, yes, even Costco.What we have is an attempt to divide and destroywhen this is the season to unite us with joy.At Christmastime, we're taught to unite.We don't need a made-up reason to fight.So on O'Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter and those right-wing blogs.You should sit back and relax, have a few egg nogs.'Tis the holiday season; enjoy it a pinch.With all our real problems, do we really need another Grinch?So to my friends and my colleagues, I say with delight,a Merry Christmas to all, and to Bill O'Reilly, happy holidays.Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas.

I need to put on some shades when looking at this!

My Sister and her Boyfriend got engaged on Christmas! :)..my brother proposed on christmas also last year.. guess thats a trend huh..

Weblogic 8.1 SP2 and Acegi framework

Here is a Workaround for Weblogic 8.1 SP2 with
Acegi framework.
BEA has fixed the problem in SP3..but I did not
have the luxury of upgrading Weblogic in the middle of a deployment..lesson learned(Always develop on the same
version that is in production).I used Spring 1.2.5
DelegatingFilterProx which was "inspired" by the
filterToBean cousin located in the Acegi package.

Spring and Weblogic.

Spring Integration with WebLogic Server by Andy Piper, Rod Johnson, Chris Wall and Nick Tran -- WebLogic Server 9.0 provides a platform for enhanced management, ease-of-use and scalability of Java applications. The Spring Framework enables a simpler, POJO based, approach to J2EE development without sacrificing the power of the platform. This article describes the synergy of these two systems, and introduces the Spring on WebLogic kit.
