The Perfect Party Dip — The New Girlby Lauren Miyashiro in Entertaining, Recipes, April 9th, 2013
You don't need to prepare a three-course meal to be a good host(ess). You don't even need to plan far in advance. When gathering friends for a last-minute soiree, snacks are the way to go. So skip the forks and knives, and stick to simple appetizers you can eat with your hands. It's more fun that way, anyway.
Trisha Yearwood's Charleston Cheese Dip is a new go-to party snack. Topped with crispy bacon and buttery crackers, it's an obvious crowd-pleaser. It's also wallet friendly, so if you don't already have the ingredients on hand, you won't break the bank running to the store. Served warm and loaded with three types of cheese, this no-fuss recipe will please even the pickiest of palates.
The next time your place becomes the destination to watch the big game or the newest episode of your favorite show, don't hide yourself in the kitchen. With Trisha's decadent cheese dip, you'll earn yourself the best spot on the couch.

Amiloride-Sensitive Sodium Channels: Physiology and Functional Diversity
Edited by
- Dale Benos, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Alabama, Birmingham, USA
- Douglas Fambrough, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
Sodium reabsorbing epithelia play a major role in whole-body sodium homeostasis. Some examples of sodium regulating tissues include kidney, colon, lung, and sweat ducts. Sodium transport across these membranes is a two-step process: entry through an amiloride-sensitive sodium channel and exit via the ouabain-sensitive sodium/potassium ATPase. The sodium entry channels are the rate-limiting determinant for transport and are regulated by several different hormones. The sodium channels also play a significant role in a number of disease states, like hypertension, edema, drug-induced hyperkalemia, and cystic fibrosis. Amiloride-Sensitive Sodium Channels: Physiology and Functional Diversity provides the first in-depth exchange of ideas concerning these sodium channels, their regulation and involvement in normal and pathophysiological situations.View full description

This product has depth
I like this octopus pendant because it is not hollow but has depth and lies nicely on the neck. And, of course, it's an octopus...a subject hard to find but so charming. The length of the chain is also very nice, not tight, but allows the octopus to sit at a good vantage point on throat for visibility.
Bottom Line: I would recommend this to a friend!

What Will A-Rod Do?
Picture it: Yankee Stadium without Alex Rodriguez... or, how about this. A-Rod in red, or black, or orange... but not pinstripes. It's entirely possible that the star third-baseman will take advantage of an opt-out clause in his current, 10-year, $252 million contract, and sign on the dotted line for whichever team offers him even more money. It sounds crazy, right? I mean, hello! He's still got $91 million left in this contract, and he plays for one of the best (well, winningest and wealthiest) teams in baseball. According to his agent, though, it's time to head back to the MLB cash cow and milk out even more millions... maybe as much as $300 million for A-Rod's next ten years. What will A-Rod do? And who do you think will step up with the winning bid for his talents?

Have you noticed how intently Alex Rodriguez chews gum (presumably) during a game? Cows could take a lesson on how to get the most out of a mouthful. And ... this shouldn't be lost on the Cub's management. Imagine the marketing possibilities ... Rodriguez in Wrigley Field !!!!
Joe: I like the way you think! Sadly, Tribune might feel they have to sell Wrigley the field back to Wrigley the company in order to afford A-Rod. Though, 2008 is 100 years since a Cubbie World Series win... A-Rod should be able to read the writing on that wall... wait till next year, it's destiny!
I agree with the caller - why are you still talking about the Yankees?? How about a segment on these smaller-market, well-managed teams which have made it to the league playoffs? I'm a lifetime Indians fan who has watched them slowly build their team back since they didn't have the Yankees' money to buy a team. Those guys have worked as a team to win. What are we saying to young players when only players like A-Rod are celebrated? This guy has no idea what the term "team player" means. More shows on baseball - real baseball - not players like Rodriguez and teams like the Yankees who play for the money, and only for the money.
Obviously, money CANNOT buy a World Series win OR appearance. I wonder how long it's going to take for George and others to figure that out.
One good thing about the outrageously high salaries of these most major league players is that they are less prone to be induced to throw a game for money (e.g. Black Sox Scandal), I guess that's up to the umpires/referees now.
i don't know about you but i think that a-rod does belong to the yankees all of you that don't agree are yankee and a-rod HATERS you just want him to be on the team you go for am i right or what?i am not only saying this as a yankee but i am saying this bacause it's true and i've heard so many people tell me this kind of stuff.You and me both know that he doesn't belong with any other color but blue and white.You may think that he is an Angels on the outside but inside he is a YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Concept and Beyond: Rational Asset Manager Licensing
Saurabh.Tyagi 270005CY2K Comments (2) Visits (4441)
Asset management, broadly defined, refers to any system that monitors and maintains things of value to an entity or group. It may apply to both tangible assets such as buildings, and to intangible concepts such as intellectual property and goodwill.
Know where your assets are....
IBM Rational Asset Manager is a collaborative environment for creating and governing software assets. A definitive library management system where you catalog, organize, use, reuse, manage, and report on any type of software, technology, or business asset.
A collaborative software development asset management solution, IBM Rational Asset Manager software enables organizations to identify, manage and govern the design, development and consumption of software assets, including services as part of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiative. The software helps IT organizations deliver innovative IT solutions while controlling costs, reducing application backlogs and improving business flexibility and responsiveness by facilitating software asset reuse.
Evaluate Rational Asset Manager now! http
Purchasers of IBM Rational Asset manager can choose among three types of product licenses: an Authorized User license, an Authorized User Fixed Term License (FTL) and a Floating license. The best choice for your organization depends upon how many people will use the product, how often they will require access. Lets understand the concepts of keys ( licenses ) behind this dynamic software.
Types of RAM (Rational Asset Manager ) Licenses:
Licensing Model for Standard Edition:
Licensing Model for Enterprise Edition :
Addresses different usage patterns
→ Administrators assign users to AU licenses: Collaborator or Publisher.
→ SE licenses cannot be used in an EE servers.
→ Collaborator license only allows search, download and comment on assets.
→ Audit report can be generated to show license usage.
→ Floating license is consumed by users not assigned an AU license.
→ Collaborator license is consumed initially until a publisher feature is invoked then license consumption switches to publisher.
→ 30 minutes of inactivity or logging out releases the license (Floating).
→ Programmatic access consumes a license → Concurrent programmatic access consumes multiple licenses equal to the number of concurrent programmatic access.
→ When a user searches and browses without authenticating then no floating license is used,
→ When an anonymous user displays a public asset details, then an available collaborator floating license is checked out,
→ When an authenticated user displays an asset, then a collaborator licence is checked out, unless you already have a publisher license from a previous action,
→ When an authenticated user modifies or submits an asset, then a publisher license is checked out ( and if a collaborator license was checked out, then it is check in )
→ When an authenticated user logs out, then the license is returned, for either collaborator or publisher, unless the user had other sessions,
For EE (Enterprise Edition) : each authorized user license is of one access type -> collaborator or Publisher
For SE (Standard Edition) : there is only one license type,
If the authorized user license is of type Collaborator, and the user attempts to modify or submit an asset, then an available Publisher license will be checked out.
Version 7.5 ( RAM ) includes the following enhancements and features:
Server licenses: Rational Asset Manager Enterprise Edition no longer requires the purchase of a server license, providing more flexibility in the deployment of clusters and stand-alone servers
Token licenses: Token licenses are now available. You can reduce deployment costs by sharing Token licenses across one or more Rational products.

Logic Behind TELELOGIC Licensing
Saurabh.Tyagi 270005CY2K Visits (3325)
Let's understand the concept of Telelogic based products licensing concepts.
Telelogic Products:
Focal Point - System for management of product and project portfolios.
License types supported by Telelogic products:
The below table list the type of license supported by Telelogic products.
Extended licensing options supported by core products are shown in the below given tables:
FLEXnet license types supported by product integrations are as shown below:
Extended licensing options supported by product integrations are shown in the below given table:
Understanding of "TELELOGIC_ LICENSE_FILE variable":
On Synergy, the location of the file is also stored in license_data.txt file on the same router machine.
The value of TELE
Telelogic applications that use FLEXnet rely on the environment settings that FLEXnet uses to find licenses. The applications search for license servers and license files in the following order:
License Value Description:
Node-locked license-file-name The full path to the license file on your computer.
User based feature:
A user-based license is tied to one specific user. This is compared to a floating license which anyone can use. A license Feature for a user-based license is recognized by the attribute USER_BASED on the FEATURE/INCREMENT line. The user who can obtain a user-based license are specified in the FLEXnet options file for the license server.
FEATURE RPE_PUBLISH telelogic 2009.1230 30-oct-2009 4 \
The users must be defined in a separate configuration file. The configuration file must be explicitly set in the license file
DAEMON telelogic "C:\Program File
The configuration file must list the users for the user based feature
The version number from the configuration file must match the version number from the license file (see in bold)
For the same feature both user based and floating features can be present. The user based should be listed first in the license file.

Brussels (18th April) If you came across a farmers seed exchange, a land occupation, a demo against GMOS, a party in a collective garden or just groups of people having lively discussions on food and agriculture issues over the last few days, then you caught a glimpse of the growing movement to take back control of our food and agricultural systems.
This year more than 40 events were organized across Europe on the 17th of April to mark the International Day of Peasant Struggle – and answer the call of Via Campesina to reject corporate control of our food and agricultural systems.

Peasants gather in order to remind the government and the people that there have been increasing violations of the peoples' rights, especially the rights of land.
"In the name of capital, hundreds of thousands hectares are converted to plantation and food estate," says Achmad Ya'kub. Therefore in Indonesia, there are these increasing cases of agrarian conflicts between peasants and indigenous people versus companies and the government. The phenomenon is now trending like the land grabbing scheme all over the world.
"There can be no justifications for land grabbing!" social movements and CSOs tell World Bank, UN agencies and governments
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 17 April 2011 18:15
Today, on the International Day of Peasant Struggles, prominent farmers, fisherfolk, human rights and research organisations have sharply criticised the World Bank, three UN agencies and governments for promoting agricultural investments that are resulting in land grabbing on a massive scale.
From 18-20 April, investors, government officials and staff of international agencies will gather in Washington DC for the Annual World Bank Conference on Land and Poverty to discuss how to operationalise a framework called Principles for Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI). Formulated by the World Bank, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), RAI consists of seven principles which investors may choose whether or not to abide by when conducting large-scale farmland acquisitions.

Although neighbours have a healthy competitive streak, vying for the best display, they also show community spirit by helping each other other with the decorating chores. Occasionally cases of guerrilla decorating are noted, when homeowners who are unable to decorate, wake up to discover Christmas elves have paid a visit to their home.
Everyone is encouraged to buy ballots, at $2 each, to vote for the best display. Ballots are available at the McGill Grocery store located at McGill and Slocan streets. Vote as often as you wish. File ballots in the hand-painted rural mailboxes on each block. Proceeds from the sale of ballots will go to the Cottage Hospice and Harbourview Daycare.

Simpson says area streets running north and south generally have no restrictions on parking, and encourages visitors to park and walk - and talk with people as they view the displays.

I have ordered plants and bulbs from Parkers for years because they have such a wide range. I have always had quite a few losses but put it down to my poor gardening. Last autumn I marked where I planted my new bulbs and plants and took particular care to monitor their progress. Two out of three Eremurus bulbs failed, all five Cyclamen bulbs stayed dormant and the Acanthus Spinosus did not survive the winter.

I am stocking a new garden, so I went to Parkers to pre-order bulbs for Autumn planting. I've been buying bulbs from Parkers for years so I know they are very reliable. I also ordered a shrub (Chaenomeles, pot-grown) and three perennials (Veronica, pot-grown) at full price. The shrub was as I expected - a 9cm pot with a healthy young plant, attached to a cane appropriate to the length of the longest shoot.

I thoroughly agree with your review. I have a garden full of Parker's plants and as I tend to pot on perennials when I get them, they all do well. You can't just bung them in the ground and expect them to flourish. Also, they are terrific value for money. Have you seen the prices at Crocus?

Sufi Muslims protest Roberto Cavalli logo in Toronto
Cavalli says it's just a snake bite, but Sufi Muslims say it's a sacred emblem used in religious texts for 150 years. A Toronto protest is set for Saturday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
Correction - July 23, 2014: This article was edited from a previous version that incorrectly said Holt Renfrew carries the contentious Just Cavalli perfume.
Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has angered many Sufi Muslims for using what many consider a sacred religious emblem in a racy perfume ad.
The Italian fashion designer says the contentious two-pronged symbol, stamped on the necks of two scantily-clad models, simply represents a snake bite.
"The tattoo is the bite, the snake bite. It draws us together. And it's basically the sign of seduction," said model Georgia May Jagger, 22, in an interview for the scent — Just Cavalli — gesturing to the black tattoo on her wrist.
But those who study Sufism, a mystical tradition within Islam, claim the designer hijacked the holy emblem to sell perfume. The nameless symbol spells the word "Alla," meaning God, twice and the disciple "Ali" four times. It has appeared in Sufism texts dating back 150 years.
"Cavalli says it represents a snake bite, and that snake bite represents sexuality, primality. It's in diametric opposition to what this symbol means for us," argued Nasim Bahadorani, an American public health doctoral student protesting the campaign.
More fashion news on thestar.com:
The debate has raised questions about the finicky line between originality and appropriation in logo design. The Cavalli logo is rotated 90 degrees from the Sufi symbol and printed in a snakeskin pattern.
Those differences were sufficient enough for a European lawsuit, put forward last fall by a Sufism school that owns the trademark for the similar logo, to be dismissed by the European Union's Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) in May.
"The court states that the two logos are not mistakable and do not present any similarities," said Cavalli's company in a statement to the Star.
Still, the fashion-versus-faith debate is far from over. A Toronto protest will be held Saturday at Holt Renfrew where an estimated 200 Sufi students are expected to gather at 2 p.m.
Protesters aim to reclaim the symbol, which they say represents "peace, purity and the name of God." They say Cavalli has tarnished the holy symbol by appropriating it in a sexually provocative ad campaign.
The ad has offended those outside the faith. In one commercial, two models slowly undress as they run through abandoned hallways, throwing articles of clothing at each other. The overtly sexual ad sparked complaints to the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority, which were not upheld.
Religion aside, "the most important thing is trademark infringement, the second layer is the insult," said Bahadorani, a public health student who has protested Cavalli across the United States.
Sufi students, of which there are an estimated 500,000 globally, have protested outside Cavalli stores on Rodeo Drive in Orange County and New York City's Madison Avenue, snowballing their following with the Twitter hashtag #TakeOffJustLogo. A similar protest has already been held in Vancouver.
"They have been repeatedly ignored," said Bahadorani.
In response to the protests, Cavalli's company said it is "deeply saddened by the distress expressed by the Sufist School students, but hopes that the sentence emitted by a competent authority such as the OHIM, will convince sufist religion (sic) of the complete good faith and the groundlessness of their requests."
It's not the first time Cavalli has been under fire by a religious group. In 2004, the designer drew ire from the Hindu community for displaying images of Vishnu, Lord Rama and Devi Swaraswati on bikinis. The line was quickly pulled from many shopping outlets, including Harrods in London.
"We obviously didn't realize this would cause offence," a Cavalli spokesman told Vogue at the time.
