IBM Rational Doors Next Gen Licensing Overview
Ashok.Rao 2700052AJ6 Comments (3) Visits (10250)
IBM Rational DOORS Next Gen is supported on Jazz platform helping you to collaborate with other Jazz platform tools like Rational Team Concert and Rational Quality Manager in your environment.
IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation provides additional features like:
Rational DOORS Next Gen has assumed the place of Rational Requirements Management (RM) for the Jazz platform that adds a requirements definition and management application on top of that common platform.
Now let's discuss the DOORS Next Gen licensing concept.
DOORS Next Gen is the name rendered to the DOORS installation based on Jazz platform where you can enrich your client from a DOORS Next Gen Analyst or a Requirements Composer Client Access license. The contemporary version of the DOORS thick client is available too; this is DOORS 9.5.
Notice the fact, as per the screenshot above, that DOORS Next Gen and Rational Requirements Composer are based on Jazz platform activated by authorized or floating CALs (Client Access Licenses).
The Jazz admin can assign the licenses to the users by logging in to the License Management page which defines the level of access for each user.
Points to remember
I hope you've got the info you are looking for, but you might still have some questions in mind. If so, I invite you to take a look at the FAQs section below and to check out the Rati

REDBOOK: Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management with IBM Rational products
kellypuffs 06000168YK Visits (5808)
Katur stopped by this afternoon to show off his new Redbook: Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management with IBM Rational Products, written in collaboration with other good peeps, several of which I've had the pleasure of working with. Katur Patel and Brianna Smith currently work in Rational Client Support.
It's 600+ pages of fun and excitement featuring Build Forge, ClearCase, ClearQuest, ReqPro, and introducing Rational Quality Manager, Rational Requirements Composer Rational Software Analyzer and Rational Team Concert.
From the back cover:
In this book, we provide a reference scenario and tool architectures for deploying the new IBM Rational products into an existing enterprise environment. We also provide a set of blueprints that define each of the key disciplines in the development life cycle to help you understand the domain and how the Rational products support the need of that discipline. Our primary focus is to highlight the value of CALM by providing a user view of the solution that is used to support a distributed enterprise development team that incorporates aspects of the "Agility-at-Scale" approach.

Floating license usage report on Jazz Team Server.
KiranChikkanna 270005HX17 Comments (5) Visits (5440)
Jazz team server has a detailed reporting mechanism for the floating license usage and these reports can be very helpful in managing the available floating licenses effectively. The reports give a picture of license consumption in a given time frame. This not only helps you to manage your licenses but also provides a big picture about your license requirements for a project.
There are two ways to collect data about the license usage on a license server:
* Historic usage snapshots - Data that tracks how many of each CAL were used concurrently over time.
* Full license usage log - Exactly which users used which CALs and for how long.
Historic usage snapshots
By default, the license server will collect basic license usage data and store the data as historic snapshots. The data collected is only how many of each Client Access License, CAL were used, and by which server. That data is used to generate the graphs provided by the admin web UI.
You can see the admin web UI graphs by going to this URL, http
Load the admin web UI of the license server, usually http
Three ways of monitoring the license usage on the web UI:
1. Click the server tab and in the licensing pane, Click reports.
2. On the floating license usage page, select a license type from the menu.
3. Optional : Enter values in the start date and end date fields.
4. Click on the "Reports" link in the "Floating License Usage" section of the left navigation area.
The page to obtain the floating license usage looks like this:
In below given scenario:
We are running the reports for the IBM Rational Quality Manager – Quality Professional – Token licenses from September 1st to September 10th.
Further the details about the license denial's if any also would be present in the logs.
In below provided image, It is clear that the consumption of the tokens is high from 09/09/2012 to 09/12/2012.
You can also get access to the raw data through the generic reporting UI by doing the following:
View the report UI in the web by going to http
Full license usage log
To use the full license log, you must first enable it through the admin web UI. You can do it through the following steps:
After the license log has been enabled a file will be generated for each license action that happens on the server. Here is an extract of a sample log:

DEFINITION of 'Indirect Loan'
Any loan that is transferred from a dealer who originated the loan to a third party. Any buyer of indirect loans is known as a holder in due course and is now entitled to receive principal and interest payments.
An example of an indirect loan is a car loan offered to a customer at a dealership which is then purchased by the third party at a discount. In this example, the third party never met the borrower but is now entitled to received payments from the loan.
BREAKING DOWN 'Indirect Loan'
A large percentage of outstanding loans are indirect loans. This is especially true in the mortgage industry, where many lenders package their loans and sell them to governmental agencies such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks and finance companies often purchase installment contracts at a discount from dealers at a discount from the face value of the loans. This allows them to get new customers without actually interviewing the borrower.

The Senate's top tax writer said Tuesday that taxing employer-provided health benefits is a possibility as lawmakers search for ways to pay for overhauling the nation's health care system and to insure 50 million Americans who lack coverage - a stance that riles both business and union leaders and is at odds with some leading Democrats.
At the last in a series of public forums on health care reform, Sen. Max Baucus, Montana Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said scaling back the tax-free status of employer-provided health care benefits must be considered.
"There are ways to enact health care reform that can bend the cost curve in a very significant way that provides health insurance reform, which this country desperately needs, and also covers all Americans," Mr. Baucus said before a panel of senators, health care and tax specialists, and others representing outside groups in the health-care-reform debate.
Business and labor groups said they won't go along with the idea thrown on the table.
It's "a step in the wrong direction," said Gerald Shea of the AFL-CIO labor federation, who was a participant in the panel discussion.
"We cannot ask people who traded wages for health benefits to pay more for their coverage without undertaking a serious effort to lower costs," said Mr. Shea, who serves as the AFL-CIO's health care policy specialist.
Many business groups say the employer-based model is the best way to go in health care reform.
"People have expressed that those who have health care coverage they like should be able to keep it and they should be able to keep their choice of doctor if they like their doctor," said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, which supports "building on what is working."
The idea of employer-based health care has splintered the debate over health care reform. During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama supported preserving the employer-based model and ridiculed his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, for calling to tax employer-based health care, and the White House said his stance hasn't changed.
As president, Mr. Obama has already called for taxing wealthier Americans to help fund an overhaul that could cost more than $1.5 trillion.
"The reform contemplated by the president during the campaign and what I think is largely being discussed on Capitol Hill is a preservation of the employer-based health care system, but done in a way that … envisions significant reform in how we're spending money," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday.
At the roundtable, Mr. Baucus said revenue could be generated by taxing portions of the benefit based on income levels or on based on the value of the plan. More comprehensive, costlier plans would be taxed at a higher rate.
He said he's open to new ideas but was cautious about proposing to eliminate the tax break that employers get on their employees' health care plans.
"We're not going to repeal it, we're going to modify it," Mr. Baucus said.
Mr. Baucus has repeatedly advocated changing tax laws to include employer benefits, saying that it makes sense to pay for health care reforms by siphoning cash out of the existing system.

For such a mild-mannered, seemingly patient guy, how is it that Rick Renteria has been thrown out of games three times already this season?
Entering play Thursday, the Cubs were tied for the fewest wins in Major League Baseball (11) and only the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres had scored fewer runs.
Renteria showed a little bit of that frustration at U.S. Cellular Field, letting off some steam on home plate umpire Tom Woodring.
[RELATED - Frustration boils over as Cubs drop another one to White Sox]
"I don't like being ejected," Renteria said before Thursday's Crosstown finale. "[Umpires] do a great job. It's a very difficult job that they do. It's not my intent to ever try to show up an umpire or try to make them feel uncomfortable in their job.
"You can pick on them as much as you can and you'd probably get the same result and make them more and more uncomfortable. Last night happened. It's over and today's a new day."
It was Renteria's third ejection in the Cubs' first 32 games. If you extrapolate that out for a full season, it'd be somewhere around 15-16 ejections at this pace.
Renteria was the first skipper to get tossed in the league this year, earning his first ejection on April 8. Through Wednesday's games, there had been 15 managerial ejections around the league and only one other manager has been tossed more than once (Tampa Bay's Joe Maddon has been thrown out twice).
With instant replay institued around the league, many believed there would be fewer managerial ejections, since skippers would have challenges at their disposal on close calls. But Renteria's issue has been arguing balls and strikes, as was the case Wednesday night.
Cubs pitcher Travis Wood and catcher Welington Castillo were visibly frustrated with Woodring's pitch calls. Renteria was trying to stick up for his players and even admitted Woodring was patient with the Cubs manager.

"You have to stand up for your guys," Cubs GM Jed Hoyer said Thursday. "When your players are frustrated and your coaching staff is frustrated, there's times you have to vocalize that.
"Obviously, there's fewer ejections now with instant replay, so those kinda things stand out more. I've got no issue. I understood his frustration."
The Cubs are in the middle of a four-game losing streak, coming on the heels of their first three-game winning streak in almost a calendar year. Despite the moments of frustration he has shown in games, Hoyer and the Cubs front office is happy with the job he's done as a positive influence in the clubhouse.
"He creates a great environment with these guys," Hoyer said. "We have a lot of guys ... that are playing much better than last year. We've given him a very young team. We've given him a very young bullpen that doesn't have a lot of experience. I think he's managed that really well.
"I like the tone. Obviously, the results, the wins and losses are probably no different than it was with [former manager Dale Sveum]. We're not in a place right now where we're going to evaluate them based on the standings in the paper in the morning."

German Volume Training
German Volume Training
German Volume Training (GVT) is a system used by bodybuilders and Olympic lifters to gain mass.GVT became popular in the mid 1970's in Germany due to one national weightlifting coach, Rolf Feser. Initial goal of GVT was that, one completes ten sets of ten representatives with same weight for each exercise. Lifters continuously moved up complete weight class within a period of 12 weeks.
Specific muscle groups and motor units are target of GVT to build gigantic muscles. Saying that GVT adds muscle fast is an understatement as gaining more than ten pounds in six weeks is exceptional even by veteran lifters! The vigorous repetitive workloads makes the body adapts to unusual stress through hastened muscle fiber hypertrophy.
How It Works
Every workout is divided between your upper and lower portions of your body, done twice every week. Two exercises are required by workout; one that pulls and another that pushes. By doing so, you are certainly reinforcing the non-competitive muscle groups while thrashing your fibers with multi-joint movements that target a lot of mass concurrently.
One exception to the 10*10 rule is your legs. All your leg muscles work to varying degrees when you are performing squats and subjecting your leg muscles to 200 complete repetitions would be overindulgence. Instead, divide your workout into 60 reps to your knees and 60 with the hips. Take this caution; GVT is ruthless. Every bit of rest you use to suck wind and feel a terrible scald with every second you are under that bar. It's not uncommon therefore to throw off the weights, crash by a corner in bafflement and trail the clock until 80 seconds elapse and repeat again!
Therefore, start right. Commencing with heavy weights will destroy your progress and you should perform GVT for six to eight weeks to avoid over training. Eating like a horse should not come as a surprise to you as GVT is meant for growth and neither a fat losing program nor a maintenance routine. Give your body enough calories plus nutrients for restoration and building purposes. A protein shake before and during your workout helps extra fuel to burn.
An example of a GVT workout schedule:
• Day 1: Chest & Back
• Day 2: Legs & Abs
• Day 3: Off
• Day 4: Arms & Shoulders
• Day 5: Off
Society seems to see image as the gold standard for good sex, which explains why weight loss is such a popular topic. Well, despite the monumental level of bias in an assertion like that, it turns out that this argument has its basis. A sad reality of life is that weight and sex are a bit like oil and water; they do not mix but why? What is the scientific explanation behind this set of circumstances?
Look around. Even celebrities admit sheepishly to a low sex drive whenever they are carrying around extra pounds. Take for instance, Chris Pratt, the star from Guardians of the Galaxy as well as Parks and Recreation. In a recent interview, Pratt admitted that as
a 300 pounder he was 'impotent'. He however made a swift clarification, saying
that he did not mean that in the scientific way; he simply meant that his sex drive was way down the tubes at that point in his life. This experience is very commonplace among millions of men in our society.
The big question…
Can being overweight negatively affect your libido?
This question sets the stage for a raucous debate whenever it is put forth. Kevin
Billups is a senior director for a men's health program at Brady Urological Institute, an entity owned by Johns Hopkins. He admits that Pratt's story is commonplace and goes on to explain why. Billups explains that weight in general can be a problem but abdominal fat is an especially thorny issue. "When a man has too much abdominal fat, biological reactions within his system force the conversion of testosterone, a predominantly male hormone, to testosterone, the quintessential female equivalent, and here is when the real problem comes in. Since this hormone is responsible for libido, the result is a low sex drive and inconsistency in emotional predilection towards sex", he states.
Not just the hormones
The explanation above does not mean that this problem is merely a scientific concern. When you are overweight your cholesterol levels hit scary levels. Your body shape takes a beating, so does your image and emotional outlook. At the end of it all, you feel unworthy, lazy or simply just not up to it.
Analyzing the facts
The University of Adelaide conducted a study on weight and testosterone, collecting data for 5 years. Out of the 1500 men under study, those that became obese registered continually decreasing levels of testosterone. Those who succeeded in losing between 5 to 10% of their body mass admitted to improved erectile functionality and increased sex drive. According to another study by Duke, over 30% of those who have weight issues also report libido complications.
Problem not confined to men alone
Women who gain weight have a problem with their libido too. Wonder why? Well, on the face of it, it seems illogical to put out an assertion like this since testosterone is masculine, right? Right. Well, it turns out that a woman's sex drive is either boosted or diminished by image. If she does not feel good about her body, then her body will not feel good about the sex. In addition to that, when the blood vessels leading up to the clitoris constrict, the desire for sex tends to decline.
The redeeming grace is that all it takes to resolve this for both men and women is a good diet and a consistent exercising regime.

Post Cycle Therapy
Post Cycle Therapy
What is post cycle therapy and what does it do? PCT is something that is done after finishing an anabolic cycle or a prohormone cycle to help restart the bodies hormone level. Many prohormones and Anabolic supplements take place of the bodies natural hormone production. This will cause the body to stop producing hormones naturally. This can cause serious issues when you finally decide to go off your cycle. Without the body producing hormones many bad things can happen. You can find yourself with a lack of energy and strength. You may also see a drop in muscle mass or experience a feeling of depression. The list of low hormone levels goes on and on. The proper way to prevent this is to use a post cycle therapy supplement when finishing up your cycle. I believe in bridging your post cycle with what ever you are using for the last week of your cycle. This will give you time to get your pct rolling before going off a prohormone or anabolic supplement.
Post cycle therapy is by far one of the most important parts of your cycle and many times is over looked. Leaving many users loosing the gains they just made while on a cycle.
Go here to learn more about post cycle therapy supplements
Be sure to spend as much time planning your PCT as you did on a cycle or you could end up wasting a lot of money on prohormones with no results in the end.
AMP Citrate
Amp Citrate is a new stimulate used by many supplement companies to replace the once popular DMAA. This powerful compound can be found in many over the counter supplements such as fat burners and pre workout supplements. Many companies such as VPX, BSN and many other popular brands.
Amp Citrate can help increase energy strength and mental focus making it a great compound for pre workout supplements. This compound is very similar to the powerful DMAA and has many of the same structures as DMAA. Which has put this compound on a serious watch list with the media and FDA.
MD2 is a popular supplement that contains AMP Citrate for reducing fat.

Tips On Building Serious Muscle Mass
How to build wide lats
Building wide lats is pretty much the goal for anyone wanting to add mass to their appearance. Having wide lats is one of the best ways to have a massive appearance. So how do you get massive lats like many of the pro bodybuilders of today? I know many of you will say "steroids" well this does help but just taking steroids wont give you massive muscle mass. A wide back comes from hours of hard work and training in the gym.
So lets take a look at some of the best exercises for building serious massive wide lats.
Exercise number 1
Pull Ups are one of the best ways to get growth from the lat muscles. I know as a bodybuilder its hard to do pull ups because most of us are pretty heavy. If you can't do a pull up I suggest getting some resistant bands and using them in a reverse matter to help remove some of you're body weight. Once you get a band that works best for you do three sets all till failure.
The best way to use a resistant band is to wrap the band around the center of the pull up bar. Use other end with the hanging loop and slide it over the knee bent at a 90. The band should have enough tension to help pull you upward when attempting a pull up
Bodybuilding is a serious sport that takes a lot of time and patients. Many people body build without ever stepping foot on stage. Bodybuilding is one of the hardest sports in the United States. Athletes in this sport spend years getting ready to step on stage. Hours are spent in the gym lifting weights and on cardio machines. These athletes also spend hours in the kitchen prepping their food. Most bodybuilders eat 5 to 6 times a day and have to prep their food on a daily basis. Most of these meals contain veggies, clean carbohydrates, healthy fats and normally some source of protein. Most bodybuilders consume 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Some even can even consume 2 grams per pound of body weight.
Bodybuilders also spend a lot of time making up an ideal supplement program to fit their goals. Many of these supplements are popular in most every gym in America. Cratine, Fat burners, BCAAs and glutamine are some of the most popular supplements used by bodybuilders.
These athletes also use protein powder to help them reach the crazy numbers of protein they try to hit daily. It's important to be careful when buying your protein. Going with cheap protein isn't always the answer. Many proteins have a low quality percentage meaning you may only be getting 13g per scoop. This Is common with cheaper protein powders on the market today.

Many patients consider themselves to look five or six years younger following BOTOX® cosmetic surgery, a new study has shown.
The research, which looked at data from multiple studies, found that 63 per cent of patients who received BOTOX® cosmetic treatment for multiple upper facial lines reported looking younger than their actual age, compared to just 23 per cent of patients who received placebos.
Steven Fagien, researcher and oculoplastic surgeon, commented: "We found a sizeable proportion of patients perceived they looked younger than their current age following treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic – an outcome that is an important goal for many patients seeking medical aesthetic treatments."
Four weeks after treatment, 249 patients from five clinical studies were asked to indicate whether they felt they looked their current age, younger, or older.
Of those patients who had received Botox treatment for glabellar lines, the vertical 'frown' lines between the brows, 39 per cent said they looked on average five to six years younger than their actual age.
Nearly 45 per cent of patients who had been treated for crow's feet and 62.5 per cent of patients who had been treated for multiple facial lines in the forehead area said that they looked younger than their current age.
Alastair Carruthers, cosmetic dermasurgeon and co-investigator in the study, commented: "Patients treated for multiple facial lines perceived that they looked younger than those who were treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic for glabellar lines or crow's feet alone.
"This suggests that the overall, subtle smoothing in the appearance of facial lines achieved by treating multiple areas may be an important factor in a patient's perception of looking younger," he added.
The findings were presented at the American Academy of Dermatology Academy '06 meeting in San Diego and are reported to be the first to accurately assess patients' perception of age following BOTOX® cosmetic treatment.

If you're talking about right now, mightn't it be more a seasonal thing? Notice many bare legs in summer this side of the pond, even with business dress.
Else, well lad, you're just not be doing or saying the right things. Be a modern man; get in touch with your feelings; show your soft, sensitive side; tell her what she wants to hear (Ya know, you look great in that outfit).
<added>I was actually going somewhere with this but, my mind get caught up with (ahem) something else.</added>
[edited by: jimbeetle at 5:47 pm (utc) on Aug. 22, 2003]
It all depends on the stocking, if you ask me. Not a big fan of the whole "panty hose" thing myself, but a pair of thigh-highs and a nice pair of shoes can go a long way.
As to why girls stop wearing them after time in a relationship, I suppose it has to do with becoming comfortable with the one they're with, which is the same reason I don't wear cologne every day, unlike when my wife and I first started dating.
I have this image of heavy wool stockings and bright red over the shoulder suspenders to hold them up, roflmao.
returning to what you mean, I'm all for it. What you mean is very provocative, my mental image, not so much. :)
I'm waiting for mivox to chime in on this, hehe
you have no idea how funny it is to think of a lady in stockings and suspenders.
I have this image of heavy wool stockings and bright red over the shoulder suspenders to hold them up, roflmao.
That's just because you live in Canada, and the women actually do dress like that... hehehehe. You got that image out of the Red Green lingerie catalog, right?
I'll second the "expensive and fragile" argument. A good pair of old-fashioned proper back-seam silk or nylon (no spandex) stockings is hard to find, to say nothing about good fishnets... and they all cost a shocking amount of money when you do find a good pair. The cheap ones aren't worth wearing.
And I won't even begin to complain about how difficult it is to find a garter belt (ie: suspenders) that's both comfortable AND attractive.
But as soon as you men go back to shaving regularly, dressing nicely for dinner, and saying 'excuse me' when you make crude bodily noises, you might find the stockings making a near-magical comeback, regardless of the inconvenience involved.
You fellows have never known (I assume!) the frustration of snagging your fingernail on a brand new stocking and ruining it...
There is such a thing as Halloween in the States, and many straight men have been known to frolic in stockings.
That said, it is you girls who go ga-ga whenever a man in a leopard print mini and stockings goes by. I have never seen women become so forward as in the presence of a man wearing women's stockings.
The women treat you like a rock star.
But as soon as you men go back to shaving regularly, dressing nicely for dinner, and saying 'excuse me' when you make crude bodily noises,
Men who make crude bodily noises are those who feel so manly they don't need to be polite. In general it's the type who goes for adventure, hard manual work and so on. You may still find some specimen in far out places like, say Alaska... ;)

Day 26 - Do you know the Muffler Man?
... and the next morning, with all of the Beaumont attractions checked off, we set out for Austin.
On our itinerary is a trip to a dude ranch. When Esme initially heard this, she immediately stated that she needed a cowgirl "uniform." She has not wavered on this request, and Marcus and I agree that to truly embrace our inner Texas, we must outfit ourselves properly. So, Cavender's Boot City, right outside of ...

Still,driving across Texas. Staying at Hidden Lake RVPark for two nights although there's nothing to do in Beaumont. But the park is nice. Rainy and humid but okay! Like the sound of rain. We had dinner at Tia Juanitas, interesting MX and cajin food. A new food we never had before, ...

We pale in comparison to the massive rocks and canyon walls. As I type we are back in civilization, alas, ...

What's the Difference Between Hollandaise and Béarnaise Sauces?
Word of Mouth
When we want to enhance a dish, warm, rich sauces like hollandaise and béarnaise will always do the trick. A small spoonful has the power to make a steak completely luxurious, and it puts the perfect finishing touch on eggs Benedict.
These two traditional French sauces share quite a few similarities, but there are some distinctions in how they're made and used that set them apart. Do you know the difference between hollandaise and béarnaise sauce?

Never underestimate the power of a simple shrimp cocktail sauce to get a party going.

6 Salad Dressings to Know by Heart

Here at The Kitchn, we don't like to think of ourselves as food snobs. We bear semi-secret loves for boxed mac and cheese and Velveeta. We keep frozen pie crust in the freezer (and maybe a pizza or two).

Recipe: Chicken Tikka Masala
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
Although chicken tikka masala is more British than Indian, you'd be hard-pressed to find an Indian restaurant that doesn't have this creamy, bright-orange dish featured prominently on its menu. But if you do, you're welcome to come to my house, where chicken tikka masala is on our regular monthly meal rotation. It's surprisingly easy to pull together, and I promise it's just as good as anything ordered off the take-out menu.
Recipe: Brown Rice Bowl with Chard & Nutty Tomato Romesco Sauce
Healthy Lunch Recipes from The Kitchn
When it comes to lunch, I have competing desires. On the one hand, I want a predictable and easy meal I can grab without diverting much attention from my work. But I also don't want to eat the same thing day after day.
Meet my answer: the modular one-bowl lunch with mix-and-match toppings, including a smoky, nutty romesco that is quite literally the secret sauce to this meal. I love this stuff so much I call it my happy sauce.
Recipe: Sloppy Joes
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
A few weeks ago, I opened my great grandmother's church cookbook at random and found myself looking at a dog-eared recipe for "Untidy Josephs" scrawled with notes. I quickly realized that these were the long-lost sloppy joes of my childhood, and just as quickly, I knew I had to have them for dinner.

Recipe: Slow-Cooked Bolognese Sauce
Slow Cooker Recipes from The Kitchn
Making a good bolognese sauce is a real labor of love. Sure, you could just add some ground beef to a tomato sauce and call it good (and heck, we often do!), but there's a certain irresistible silkiness and a deep, meaty flavor that can really only come from all-day cooking. This is a dish that takes a humble package of ground beef and turns it into something worthy of the finest dinner party. Bolognese is that good.
Recipe: Two-Minute Creamy Salad Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
Sometimes a basic vinaigrette just won't do. Sometimes we need a velvety, creamy dressing drizzled on our greens. And yet ranch dressing can sometimes feel a little...how do I say this...a little salad-bar-at-the-steakhouse? Occasionally, yes, I love it. But this dressing, well, this has a little more oo-la-la in its favor. And it's so, so easy.

Taj Mahal
saturday » march 22 » 8pm
Blues and world music man Taj Mahal makes his second visit to the ASC. This composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist is one of the most prominent and influential figures in late 20th-century blues and roots music. Though his career began more than four decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world – west Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the Hawaiian Islands and so much more. What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical discovery. Over the years, his passion and curiosity have led him around the world, and his music.
» As the son of a jazz pianist, young Taj learned to play the piano, clarinet, trombone and harmonica, and he loved to sing. He discovered his stepfather's guitar and became serious about it in his early teens when a guitarist moved in next door and taught him the various styles of Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed, and other titans of Delta and Chicago blues. » From those early years, through musical explorations that have resulted in an eclectic recording catalog and multiple Grammy awards, Taj says, "Even at the end of 40 years, in many ways my music is just getting started." Those are words we love hearing as we welcome Taj back to the ASC stage!
They've rocked some of the biggest stages in the business. Finally, Robert Randolph & The Family Band are bringing
their intense, good-time funk, and brilliant pedal steel guitar playing to the ASC. » First, let's talk guitar. Randolph's
unprecedented prowess on his instrument garnered him a spot on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"
list. Rolling Stone called the group "one of the most intense live acts in all of jamdom," making their appearance at the ASC one that should not be missed. Robert Randolph & The Family Band will be a show that will have you dancing in your seat!
The ASC is honored to host a tribute to one of the greatest guitarists and musicians of all time as we pay homage to B.B. King. Over a dozen musicians from Birmingham and around the Southeast region are coming together for one night to honor the blues legend in this free concert. Join Elnora Spencer, Ona Watson, Chad Fisher, CeCe Phillips, Sean Michael Ray, PJ Spraggins, Joseph Stallworth, Joey Sommerville, Marc Phillips and GrooveDaddy, Microwave Dave, Norris Jones, Tim Boykin, and UAB's Artist-in-Residence, Eric Essix.
Finally. Rickie Lee Jones is coming back to Birmingham! The ASC is thrilled to present the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter for an evening of musical reminiscing and exploration. Jones exploded onto the pop scene in 1979 and has made a career of fearlessly experimenting with her sound and persona over 15 critically acclaimed albums. A cultural phenomenon, she graced the cover of Rolling Stone twice in two years, and performed an unprecedented three songs during her second appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Her latest album and first new music in over a decade, The Other Side of Desire was written, recorded, and rooted in New Orleans.
Hosted by UAB Artist-in-Residence Eric Essix, The Essentials is the ASC's innovative series devoted to honoring the rich history of jazz. The fourth installment will explore the complex, multinational musical fusion known as Latin jazz. » The evening begins with a survey of the history of Latin jazz, the music, and the artists — led by Essix and legendary percussionist Poncho Sanchez. » The second set features Grammy-winner Sanchez with his fragments of Latin jazz, swing, bebop, salsa, and other infectious grooves colliding and churning in a fiery swirl with dazzling results.
If you were in college during the 1980s, you probably saw the Indigo Girls in some small, smoke-filled basement pub and were convinced you'd stumbled into folk duet heaven. More than 30 years later, those two Georgia ladies with their husky voices and intimate, poignant lyrics are still going strong. While most artists who launched their careers in the 1980s have slipped from our collective memory, the Indigo Girls are still writing and recording, championing a number of social and environmental causes, and filling halls with devoted, multi-generational audiences.
The ASC is proud to treat our patrons to Gleb Ivanov, an internationally accomplished young pianist The New York Times said "is a cut above the usual, a young super-virtuoso, with musical sensitivity and an appreciation of style to go with the thunder and lightning." As a young man in Russia, Ivanov was a protégé of Mstislav Rostropovich, appearing as soloist under the famous maestro with the Nizhny Novgorod Philharmonic.

the co-op here makes a raw chocolate moose with the same ingredients... just avo, agave, cocoa powder, dates, and vanilla.... it's fabulous
Would it work with (raw) honey instead of agave? Gosh, it looks so good!!!
Oh about the crust. I substituted raw agave for the maple syrup but it wasn't sweet enough and didn't stick together so I added a tablespoon of maple syrup to the mixture and then it was fine. I would substitute dates instead of the agave if anyone doesn't want to use the maple syrup.
I made this but ended up tweaking the mousse part quite a bit. I used about 12 dates, several more table spoons of cacao and added several capfuls of vanilla. I also added about 1/3 cup of coconut oil to make it thicker for a pie. The original recipe was fine but I could taste the avocado a tiny bit and didn't want it to have that healthy taste. I wanted something more decadent that I could fool someone as a regular sinful dessert. My variation was even better the next day. But we all have different tastes so I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents :-)
Never tried it but I'm sure it would still work!
