The MAROON Friday, October 16, 1959 Vol. XXXVII, No. 4 Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana LIVAUDAIS WILL REIGN A&S Junior Grabs Honor In LU Ballot Isabella Livaudais, A&S junior, has been elected Queen of Loyola's 1959-60 campus court. The 20-year-old New Orleans coed received 2,889 points in the elections held Monday and Tuesday. She succeeds Camille Tamborello, an A&S graduate. COEDS selected as maids on the court include: Kay Poole, 19, an A&S sophomore from New Orleans, who received 2,977 points; Mizie Olivier, 20, an A&S senior from New Orleans, who received 2,732 points in the election; Mary Kay Harrington, an 19- year-old A&S sophomore from Alexandria, who received 2,611 points; Maria Cicero, 20, an A&S junior from New Orleans, who received 2,447 points; Marie Edmond, 21, a medtech senior from New Orleans, who received 2,234 point*.

The 12 coeds receiving the highest number of votes were then selected to vie for positions Monday and Tuesday.

Fallout NV Prop Replica "Computer Terminal" by SASteinhebel

Another prop for the "Fallout Project" on DeviantArt, this is the computer terminal all of us have so illustriously hacked numerous times in FO3 and FONV. Modeled and textured by me based on screenshot references, I added a few extra flairs to it for more style, such as coffee mug stains on the top, the FPS keys on the board are worn, and a hunk of gum stuck to the side. This mesh is also the first time I decided to fire up the UDK and set up a rendering scene, complete with post processing volumes for bloom and DOF effects. Granted this setup is not as easy to use as Marmoset, it does give me an idea on how well these meshes work in an actual game engine. The last three images are those from the UDK.

Tags: strife, evangelicals, intraparty, moderate, Party
I grew up in a bi-political home; my dad voted Democratic and my mom voted Republican. I had two sisters and two brothers.
My dad treated the difference humorously; he said he and mom always voted so that neither party would get an advantage. I decided against making my life difficult by attacking either party.
As I approached voting age, he made very clear that if I didn't vote he wouldn't let me complain about politics.
I became disillusioned with both parties and resented having to vote for the "soft-headed" party's candidates or the "hard-hearted" party's candidates. I was too much the realist to waste my vote on a third party.
After a hitch in the Navy I started college. For the next 20 years I moved every three or four years. I lived in places where Dems always won general elections and in places where Repubs always won general elections. I decided that by registering with the party that would win in the general, my primary vote would make a difference.
I paid attention to what both parties did but became active in neither. In 1974, at 43, for reasons too complex to describe here, I ran in the Repub primary for the Arizona legislature against a Repub incumbent. My co-workers teased me, saying "the moderate Repub in Phoenix is a lonely man." I was too busy seeking votes to feel lonely. I won six times as many votes as other first-time candidates but half as many as the incumbent. It was the most exciting time of my life.
On the issues I'm "bi-polar" and might be thrown out of either party.
Regarding your paragraph "Same for this group, it could be called "Conservative & Conservative Libertarian Nontheists", but a person who considers his/herself a conservative in the popular sense get the idea though, I think."
I agree. It seems to me that your more general title could be found with more ease. We are a small group, hard to spot.
When I started looking for like minds, I typed "Republican Atheists."
I wonder how a drop down list containing related or similar descriptions or "known associates" would fly? ;)
Eventually I respond.
I live in Iowa. Born and raised. Most of my years in Marshalltown (an hour's drive N.E. of Des Moines). Attended college in Iowa City, the Hawkeyes. Worked in Ames, the Cyclones, for 5 years. Then back to M'town. My college dregree was in Therapeutic Recreation, but I never worked in the field, that is another story. I have been a para-educator and a Substitute teacher for several years.
Where in California?
I have been to visit family in three locations. First as a child with my family to visit one uncle and his family in San Jose, we rented a car and drove along the coast to Portland Oregon, to the next uncle's. A few years later our family went to San Diego/La Jolla for vacation. Several years later, I went on my own to visit a friend in Los Angeles. I drove to Buellton/Solvang to visit my great uncle and his family for a couple of days.
How many more years for your physicist degree? What do you hope to do with it once you are done?
I plan to post a thought/question on the Discussion forum, hopefully in the near future. Any tips?
EU finance ministers approve Cyprus bailout deal, funded by bank as...
Pretty amazing. Good morning. 40% of your money has been confiscated from your bank account in order to bailout your government.
Hi Sheri,
Thank you for joining our (your) group.
I'm originally from Southern California and have spent some years up in North Idaho. I'm here now in North Florida to pursue more school. I've been here for about 1 and a half years now. I'm working to become a scientist, physicist.
I originally found a group like this one on Facebook, the same title that is. Then I found Atheist Nexus and of course with only Atheists, no one had yet created such a group here. We're doing pretty good in number for being over here, I think.
Also, I opened up an offshoot group on FB for the anti-abortion lot of conservative atheists who don't like to rehash abortion arguments all the time. It's called Prolife Conservative Atheists. I would call it "Anti-Abortion Conservative & Conservative Libertarian Nontheists"
but I'm not sure many people would go for it. Same for this group, it could be called "Conservative & Conservative Libertarian Nontheists", but a person who considers his/herself a conservative in the popular sense get the idea though, I think.
How about yourself and anyone else who would like to chime in, where are you from and what do you do?
How about yourself.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for starting this group. Great idea.
I see you live in Florida. The closest I have been to Florida was Greensboro, North Carolina (to visit my then boyfriend)1987, and Atlanta, Georgia to visit my sister, who moved to Chicago in the Spring of 2001. How long have you lived in Florida?
O.K., so I want to increase my social life, so I am going to talk like I just met you at some social gathering, because this online communication stuff is still fairly new to me. So, in response to your greeting, I would try to learn about what else we might have in common, besides this website, and not in common.
Thanks for the post Sheri. Also, I will let them know of our group here.
BTW, welcome to anyone who I haven't welcomed here before!
Welcome Eric Stubbs and thank you for your post below.
On the Facebook page, a member posed the question of whether to change from an Open group to a Closed group.
I am "on the fence."
I found the page, I suppose because it was Open, so I like that.
But I am in the process of changing jobs. I have not changed jobs in about ten years, and I know things have changed, like employers "Goolging" applicants. I know that they are not supposed to discriminate, but I am reluctant to join your Facebook group until I gain my new job. I joined here because, once I discovered this site I did not want to wait any longer to communicate with like minds.

Mitt Romney's taxes
Does he really need to release them?

You're watching...
Does he really need to release them?

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
I have pay taxes every year and a lot of Texas a lot attack.
So -- is simply wrong and that's why I'm so anxious friend of give us the names.
Of the people who -- have put this forward I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear the names are.
People from the White House -- that Obama campaign or who knows where they're coming from.
Well here's the response governor Mitt Romney fights back against accusations from senate majority leader Harry Reid the senator boldly attack the governor from the senate floor.
Here's what Reid said.
The words out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years.
But -- prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't.
We already know for one partial tax return that he gave us he has money hidden Bermuda the Cayman Islands and a Swiss bank account.
Not making that up that's an -- year that he gave us.
Mitt Romney makes more money in a single day.
Than the average middle class family makes him two years.
But the problem is senator Reid has not put up any evidence proving governor Romney failed to pay taxes for a decade.
The governor's asking where's your proof senator -- joining us now former Arkansas governor and host of vases governor Mike Huckabee thank you governor appreciate your joining us.
Thank you Doug what do you make of this tax a problem.
Alleged by senate majority leader Reid.
Yeah I think Harry Reid has embarrassed himself he's embarrassed the Democratic Party in the United States senate.
You don't go on the senate floor and you make baseless allegations about a person who's the nominee of his party for the presidency unless you have something other than.
This imaginary friend of his who apparently whispered in his -- And tell them about Mitt Romney's tax returns here here's the thing that I find amazing Harry Reid won't release his tax returns.
And -- is calling on Mitt Romney to show -- ten years' worth which the law doesn't require.
Mitt Romney's -- release more tax returns in the law requires he's still a lot of all the necessary.
Federal Election Commission documents regarding financial disclosure.
Harry Reid needs to either announce this name and give us some evidence including some documents.
Our needs to apologize not just to Mitt Romney he needs to apologize to his colleagues on the senate floor.
For desecrating the honor of the United States senate do you realistically expect that to happen.
Now because I don't think Harry will do that but he should you know the because they had defamed his character his lawyers got in touch -- and and they issued Mia culpa.
Because they had to.
I think Harry Reid ought to do it he ought to do it out of the honor of -- not because some legal consequence hangs over his head but no I don't expect him to do it because that would require integrity.
I asked Andrea -- -- all askew.
If Romney were to release these tax returns it would be a slam -- it would be a huge embarrassment to the majority leader why does -- do it.
Well I think first of all Mitt Romney has made it clear that he's paid the taxes videos I've said it this way I want a president who was honest enough to pay the taxes he knows.
But I don't want one who's so stupid -- pay a bunch of taxes.
Did he didn't have to pay.
I don't think any American would think that's a brilliant thing to do.
Most people are not kind of understand Mitt Romney's tax returns.
Fact -- most people don't understand their own tax returns so if he pulls those out there and shows the world.
It's just going to be fodder for the Democrats and nitpick and to try to make a big campaign issue out of every line -- what probably.
Will be hundreds of pages of tax returns.
And I think he wants to focus on what more Americans care about -- his tax returns and that's their own tax returns.
And how little income they're showing under the Obama administration's.
Economic policies.
Governor want to shift gears a little bit and it turned to the vice president to.
-- right now Mitt Romney has to be on the cusp of making that decision the convention is coming up and he has promised that he would make the decision before the convention.
-- Steve Hayes and Bill Kristol writing in the weekly standard the street who this weeks said this.
Pick Paul Ryan.
The Republican party's intellectual leader the man who's laid out the core of the post Obama politically -- -- a policy agenda.
And got his colleagues in congress to sign onto it or pick Marco Rubio.
The GG OP's most gifted young politician the man who embodies what is best about the Tea Party.
You concur with that -- that be wise decision either one of those young.
Either one of those guys are good that -- Rob Portman says Tim Pawlenty.
Do you get on and I think there's a long list of people he could thicken and they're gonna be good choices so you know I'm gonna trust the Romney team who's done a lot better research than.
Anybody riding for any publication.
That's my speculation on their part that they don't have the responsibility of picking someone.
With whom they can work not only in the campaign but then after the election.
So I'm gonna trust that the Romney team is thoughtfully pursuing this we'll make a good decision will want to behind it and does saluted when it happens.
The governor Romney is a guy who has never been accused of throwing a hail Mary pass in the first quarter on first down out of any football game.
He's deliberative he's cautious sums would say that he's risk averse and that that might lead to a a choice like Portman.
Or -- Pawlenty.
Those guys are not huge television draws we certainly saw how -- -- in the Republican primaries is there a risk and picking a guy like that.
Well not really I -- I think that the key thing is personal comfort so that when they stand on the stage.
They're actually comfortable in the chemistry between the two of them.
That may be more important than any thing.
That sometimes people look at in terms of some policy nuance.
I think any of the people that we've been discussing are people with him that Romney would be comfortable in terms of the of the personal chemistry with them.
And somebody that he's not every day waking up and scared -- that they're gonna got to say something that he's gonna have to.
Dig himself out -- and I think all of those folks are good quality articulate spokesman for the conservative cause.
And -- are going to be outstanding picks and again.
-- however it turns out -- not I'm not gonna try to speculate as to who will pick.
But I but I think it's going to be a thoughtful choice not -- this -- -- emotional or impromptu decision but one that he's thought through very very carefully.
And made a methodical decision.
He has said that he wants to pick a guy who can be president of the United States and that seems to be the main criteria Governor Huckabee thank you very much -- good to see -- see -- done.

What is your favorite fantasy/sci fi novel?
(This post was last modified: 05-26-2011 07:32 PM by Lizzy F..)
Post: #1
What is your favorite fantasy/sci fi novel?
What's your favorite fantasy/sci fi novel (or series)?
And yes, I know they are distinct genres but some authors like to mix them together and sometimes they get blurred. My favorite fantasy series are the Chronicles of Prydain. Lloyd Alexander used the same sources as Tolkien did for The Lord of the Rings, so there is some similarity but Alexander wrote for kids. Alexander also has more female leads. While I'm more forgiving of male-dominated older fantasy NOW, I wasn't when I was a kid. But they are my favorites because Alexander doesn't use "fate" to have the heroes overcome the bad guys. The series focuses on an Assistant-Pig-keeper who saves Prydain because of the choices he makes and his acceptance of responsibility. I'm seeking out new stuff to read, so what's your favorite?

I really like Silverlock. It's a fun read to try and figure out who the characters are that were taken from other literature.

RE: What is your favorite fantasy/sci fi novel?
I've seen Lloyd Alexander's books but never read them. I need to since I read lots of YA literature.
Does "Watership Down" count? It has rabbits as main characters not people, but it's an amazingly well-crafted world. This is one of my all-time favorite books ever. The following are all YA books: 1. "Inkheart" - I liked the first in the series better than the next two, which is always a disappointment. You want the series to get BETTER! 2. "Among the Hidden" by Margaret Peterson Haddix really fascinating about a future society where people were only allowed two children. Any more would be killed, so some parents hid their third children. I enjoyed the whole series. 3. "The City of Ember" as well as its sequel. I didn't enjoy the third as much. 4. "The Giver" - incredible!!!! (There are also two more that go with this - one is "Gathering Blue"; I forget the other.) 5. "The Rumpelstiltskin Problem" - the author says the fairy tale never rang true to her so she give six alternate versions. Fun! 6. "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" - definitely books for young people, but I found them fun, light reading with enough adventure and references to mythology to keep my enjoying them. I like several short story anthologies including "The Door in the Hedge" by Robin McKinley, "Imaginary Lands" ed. by Robin McKinley, and "A Knot in the Grain" also by Robin Mckinley. A Christian fantasy novel that I found interesting is "Children in the Night" by Harold Myra about people who live in darkness underground. The author builds up an interesting and believable society and an interesting orphan boy as the main character. The beginning of the book is my favorite when the boy is young. I haven't read the second in the series and didn't really like the third, but the beginning of the first book (I feel the part about the boy Yoshi could really stand alone) is excellent. Another Christian book is called "A Place Behind the World" by David Hazard. It's allegorical and really moved me. I really felt the main character's confusion and her growing feeling of entrapment at the continual pursuit of the hunter. It's a bit simplistic compared to the BEST of nonChristian writers, but it's one I liked. Maybe I'd better stop now! "Do not look so sad. We shall meet soon again." "Please, Aslan," said Lucy, "what do you call soon?" "I call all times soon," said Aslan. |

For me, it's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, hands down.
I also recently read The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare, by G.K. Chesterton, which was an incredible piece of fantasy. And if we're counting Watership Down, that's definitely among my favorites, too. Anyone read George MacDonald? I'm about to begin Lilith.

RE: What is your favorite fantasy/sci fi novel?
I haven't read a lot of George MacDonald, but I LOVE "The Lost Princess." His "The Princess and the Goblin" is better known and he also wrote one called "The Light Princess", but my fav is "The Lost Princess." I found parts really convicting.

RE: What is your favorite fantasy/sci fi novel?
Thanks for the recommendations. I already own a copy of Ender's Game and will definitely bump it up the priority list. And re. MacDonald, I've heard good things about The Princess and the Goblin. I'll add that to the "to read" list.

When things get me down, when people spread crap, when I feel so low I can't carry on. Avril's music saves me. Its not just the song, its the lyric, the powerful words poured into the song, a bit of everything. On bad days, I feel so weak that I can't speak out loud, I can't talk to anyone, I can't perform or act, like I love to... The music saves me, the music lets me escape, it tells me I'm not alone and I never will be.

Dell on Tuesday said it is working with Morphlabs, a developer of a converged infrastructure platform, to provide customers with the first turnkey solution for building private clouds using OpenStack software.
The new mCloud Helix solution combines Dell blade servers, OpenStack software, Dell's Crowbar cloud software framework, mCloud technology from Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based Morphlabs, and 24/7 remote management and support services from both vendors into a ready-to-use Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform for private clouds, said Joseph George, Dell's director of cloud and big data solutions.
"Together, we are delivering the smallest form factor and the most highly-integrated private cloud platform to the market today," George said.
[Related: Cisco Launches OpenStack Distribution]
The mCloud Helix solution was unveiled at the OpenStack Design Summit in San Diego.
Dell and Morphlabs in March first unveiled a partnership to develop an end-to-end SSD-based cloud platform that includes Dell PowerEdge C blade servers, networking technology from Arista Networks, NAS/SAN storage software from developer Nexenta Systems and a variety of open-source software.
That partnership has culminated in the mCloud Helix solution, which includes the Dell PowerEdge C6220 server blades with SSDs, the OpenStack cloud software, Crowbar, Morphlabs software and services that support up to 80 virtual CPUs and 3 TB of storage in a 2U C6220 chassis that uses under 700 watts of power, George said.
The solution takes advantage of Dell's work with the Chef open-source system integration framework built specifically for automating the cloud from Seattle-based Opscode, he said.
"With Chef, you can go from bare metal to a six-node private cloud within 30 minutes," he said.
With the unveiling of the solution, Morphlabs also becomes the first partner to join Dell's new Emerging Solutions Platform Partner program. The program, which Dell officially unveiled on Tuesday, is aimed at potential vendor partners that are looking to quickly build a private cloud solution, George said.
The mCloud Helix solution is the first integrated hardware-software solution for building private clouds based on the OpenStack software, said Winston Damarillo, Morphlabs CEO.

Civil Rights Icon Shirley Sherrod Tells All
Shirley Sherrod has dedicated her entire life to civil rights. At the age of 17, Sherrod's father was murdered by a white farmer over a disagreement involving livestock. It was at that point that Sherrod made the commitment to work towards economic and social improvement in southwest Georgia. Sherrod has continued community building since leaving her U.S. Department of Agriculture position as the Georgia State Director of Rural Development following Andrew Breitbart's release of a video clip from a 2010 NAACP event including her comments, which were later found to be taken out of context. ESSENCE.com invited Sherrod, who will speak at the ESSENCE Festival, to reflect on her passion for community service, her former U.S. Department of Agriculture role, and her Courage to Hope memoir.

WorshipTeamCoach.com started with an ugly, homemade website and a couple guitar workshops. Jon soon discovered blogging and began using that platform to teach, encourage and even entertain (though not always intentionally) worship pastors, volunteer leaders and musicians.
There are four development areas that WorshipTeamCoach focuses on:
Spiritual Growth
Let's face it, our musician egos like to climb back on the throne more often than we care to admit. So with Spiritual Growth, the main focus is the heart of the worshiper - there not only needs to be a knowledge of true Biblical worship, but an initimacy with Jesus Christ that fuels our ministry.
Relational Health
Team development is hard enough, but we're dealing with musicians and techs (Mars & Venus? More like Tatooine & Hoth - sorry, Star Wars reference). Mix them together and we quickly see group dynamics. And probably more than a little group dysfunctions. When it comes to relational health and team building, WorshipTeamCoach not about trust-falls and touchy-feely stuff. But instead we focus on how each person is wired - his/her personality type and strengths. Then we tackle how all those different personalities and strengths fit together. In the midst of this, we stress the Biblical concepts of mutual submission and love one another as Christ has love you.
Musical Depth
Depth is an intentional word. Worship and music ministries need to get musically deep in three ways.
- First, through each individual musician's growth and maturity as a musician
- Second, it's one thing for people to play their instrument well, but playing and singing together is another matter. Group musicianship needs to be developed.
- And finally, the size of the team should be growing. Leaders need to develop their bench (building for the future), and prepare to release and send out their players to plant churches and even help other churches that need musicians.This is about building and advancing the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of our worship team.
Leadership & Systems
Every team, big or small, needs leaders. And those leaders need systems to help manage and grow the organization known as the worship team. WorshipTeamCoach helps a church - small, medium or large - grow their leadership, and helps the leader(s) to develop systems to grow the team. Most of this is done through coaching and writing (articles/ebooks), but also through workshops like Small Church/Big Worship.
Worship service planning and leading is also part of this. While every church is different, several systems and principles apply across the board. For example: no church wants clumsy hand-offs from one worship element to the next. Segues are a practice that differ in style and approach, but the principle of good transitions is universal.
Another example: congregations and worship teams have a finite ability to learn and retain songs. So every church needs system of managing their catalog of congregational worship songs, especially with the out-pour of great (and not-so-great) worship songs in the past few years. Every church is different when it comes to number of songs, styles of songs, etc., but the principle of a limited repertoire is crucial for every church. We need a system to manage everything from the brand new song your church writes to the classic Tomlin chorus/Crosby hymn your church loves, to the "I never want to hear that song again!" song. We need system to create intentional use (and disuse) of your songs.
So those are just a couple examples. But WorshipTeamCoach offers, and continues to develop, systems that free you to do the part of the ministry you really love, and leadership training to help you help others to do the ministry they love.

Tyson Fury says he's hoping to make a fight with Deontay Wilder, while his team says they'll never negotiate with David Haye again.
David Haye will not be facing Tyson Fury on February 8, as the heavyweight has cancelled the fight following shoulder surgery, saying doctors have advised him to retire from boxing.
Vitali Klitschko has decided to run for president of Ukraine. Have we seen him in a boxing ring for the last time?

Boxingroundup speaks with Steve Cunningham, who has been in camp with Tyson Fury
Though boxing's biggest fight of the year is behind us, the sport has several more big time bouts coming our way, including a pair of major fights in the much maligned heavyweight division.
Ryan Bivins joined BadCulture Radio and broke down what transpired this past weekend in Las Vegas while taking a guess at what we'll see next.
David Haye dismisses comparisons from Tyson Fury that he'll be similar to Steve Cunningham, saying he'll not only knock Fury down, but out.
Deontay Wilder has been offered a chance to go to the United Kingdom and work with David Haye, as Haye prepares for Tyson Fury.

Forum for Discovery 2012
Pivotal Findings on Autoimmunity Shared at Lupus Research Institute "Forum for Discovery" — Premier U.S. Lupus Conference
36 New Leads in Lupus Research Made Possible by the LRI
The 12th annual Lupus Research Institute (LRI) Scientific Conference, "Forum for Discovery" outdid all 11 before, with 60+ of the nations' leaders in lupus research previewing novel work of unprecedented breakthrough potential – innovative discoveries that would not have been possible without the LRI.Investigators presented new science funded by the LRI on a broad range of topics including genetic factors that predispose certain individuals to lupus, how the lupus immune system turns against the body, and novel approaches to treatment.
These recent grantees join a distinguished body of nearly 150 lupus researchers supported by the LRI who are leading scientific innovation and discovery in lupus and autoimmunity today
LRI Funded Lupus Research with Broad Application
LRI investigators shared breakthrough results that have implications not only in lupus but for a wide range of autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Carla Rothlin at Yale University reported that blood protein S known to be low in lupus patients helps turn off inflammation. She is developing experimental drugs that harness this protein to treat lupus and other autoimmune diseases. |
New insight into how the brain talks to the immune system to suppress inflammation in lupus was shared by Dr. Jane Salmonat Hospital for Special Surgery. Dr. Salmon's discovery may lead to a whole new approach to lupus treatment. |
Dr. Anne Davidson, at The Feinstein Institute, is using a new approach to find out why an existing rheumatoid arthritis drug — anti-TNF — can be protective in lupus kidney disease but also induces potentially harmful autoantibodies. Her findings suggest it may be possible to develop improved anti-TNF drugs that eliminate negative effects. |
The "hot" new topic in lupus, epigenetics, was the focus of a presentation by Dr. Amr Sawalhaat University of Michigan.Epigenetics tells us how the environment may switch on a gene to trigger lupus; and importantly, how this change can also be passed on to the next generation. |
The excitement of discovery was tangible throughout the Forum, sparked by exchanges of the newest thinking among leaders focused on solving the complexities of lupus and autoimmune disease.

It's a busy time of year, and with all the hustle and bustle of shopping, parties and holiday programs, not to mention trying to keep up with regular life, it's easy to forget the holidays are really all about spending time with family and friends. Sometimes we need to take a deep breath, stop trying to be perfect and find a shortcut or two. But that's easier said than done when you are living gluten free. So at this wonderful, but crazy time of year, I turn to my old friend, Joe…Trader Joe's that is.
On their website, Trader Joe's has a list of their gluten free products, some of which make excellent holiday appetizers. Our favorite is the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Torta. It's a layered dip that looks lovely. We serve it with gluten free rice crackers or toasted pieces of gluten free bread. Another good option is the hummus. Serve it with tortilla chips or raw vegetables.
Check the site, http://www.traderjoes.com/pdf/lists/list-no-gluten.pdf, for a complete list. Products vary depending on location. As usual, always check the ingredients.
If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, check your grocery store or health food store for other great appetizer ideas.
So don't worry about the appetizers. Sit back, relax, have some torta and keep it fun!

The term diggers applies to those obsessed souls who dig through cardboard boxes and milk crates at flea markets and thrift stores in search of rare record albums. And according to the unwritten bylaws of diggers, the location at which any vinyl treasure is discovered is strictly confidential. This is a way of protecting one's turf, even if that turf is just a dust-covered wasteland of hand-me-downs.
So it shall be that the location of one of the greatest digger discoveries of our time must remain a secret.
The diggers were Dori Hadar, 29, and Frank Beylotte, 32, friends from Washington who met a year ago at a Salvation Army store while mining for funk and soul gold.
''I went to a flea market, and there was a huge record collection there, at least 20 boxes,'' Mr. Hadar said, recalling the morning of the discovery. ''I was going through that very happily when I came across this box full of strange hand-painted album covers. I realized they were fake and was about to put them back, but then I looked at them more closely.''

Painting, Singing, Dancing, and Movie-ing
A wide variety in arts this week
While Jake Berthot might not be a household name, those who run in the same circles as those who put brush to canvas likely have at least heard of him, as he's quite a distinguished painter.
How distinguished?
Oh, he's just been on the recipient of a little thing called the Guggenheim Fellowship and another pittance known as a National Endowment for the Arts grant. In case you didn't know, those are pretty big deals. And those are just the highlights.
Also, he's got works on display at places like the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Well, so now you have some idea of who Berthot is and why it's kind of awesome that he and his art are here in our little town.
Sponsored by the Ruth Mayo Distinguished Visiting Artist Endowment Fund, the Berthot exhibit is being held in the Alexandre Hogue Gallery in Phillips Hall on the University of Tulsa campus and runs through December 13.
Berthot is only the latest in a series of artists brought to town by the Mayo endowment, according to Mary Whitney, who works in TU's School of Art in the university's College of Arts and Sciences.
"We have a Mayo exhibit every year," she said. "And it's always a painter, and the painting professor goes to New York City once a year."
That professor, Mark Lewis, has an Ivy-league MFA, so he knows a couple of people here and there.
"He's a graduate of Yale, so just through his channels and connections, he knows this person," Whitney said. "It's not uncommon for our visiting artists to be faculty elsewhere, because sometimes they work with our students and maybe give them some feedback and talk about their own development process."
While that doesn't involve teaching any survey courses, it does involve lots of hands-on experience for the TU art students.
"What he's doing isn't exactly master classes," Whitney said. "He goes to the individual graduate students' studios and gives them some feedback."
If you're studying painting, having someone like Berthot kind of help you out is pretty freaking cool.
The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Winter Celebration, presented by Tulsa Ballet Theatre
This annual, one-night-only shindig is a favorite among TBT lovers. It's also a bit pricey, but it always makes for a terrific evening.
There's a bit of hanging out with the dancers, there's a reception before the show, and the pieces in the show itself have been chosen by the dancers themselves.
Those who think the ballet is boring will find themselves surprised by a night like this one, as it usually contains pieces that are genuinely funny, as well as those that are indescribably beautiful. Then again, "indescribably beautiful" nearly always sums up a TBT anything.
ANNIE ELLICOTT File Photo |
TBT's Winter Celebration will be held at 6pm on Thursday, Nov. 29 at Tulsa Ballet's Studio K, located at 1212 E. 45th Place. Tax-deductible ticket packages start at $75 and go up to $250 and can be obtained by phone at 918-392-5903 or through the company's web site at tulsaballet.org.A Blossom, Dearie!, presented by the Ok. Jazz Hall of Fame
Rebecca Ungerman's Spinning Plates Productions revives one of its SummerStage works this Sunday at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.
A Blossom, Dearie! is a fictionalized account of the life of jazz singer Blossom Dearie. While many may not know her name, anyone who spent any time at all in front of Saturday morning cartoons heard her soprano voice in many of the "Schoolhouse Rock" pieces.
Annie Ellicott and Sarah Maud both play the chanteuse, with Ellicott playing the singing parts and Maud holding down the spoken portions of the somewhat biographical show. Why only somewhat? Because nobody knows much at all about Dearie's life off the stage. Why should that stop playwright Ungerman, though?
Fresh off the overseas premiere of another show of hers -- The Unwitting Wife, performed at Israel's Tiberias International Theatre Festival -- Ungerman returns to Tulsa with this piece as writer, if not actually appearing in it. By her own account, she needed to cast Ellicott because "I couldn't sing like [Dearie] if my life depended on it."
Billed as "a story of artistry, feminism, politics, and above all, music," A Blossom, Dearie! shows at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame for one night only. Tickets for the Saturday, Nov. 24 show are available through the Jazz Hall's website at okjazz.org and are $10. The show is at 8pm, and the Hall is located downtown at 111 E. 1st St.
Sweet and Hot Turkey Trot Swing Dance, presented by the Ok. Jazz Hall of Fame
Ungerman will appear onstage a day before A Blossom, Dearie!, and will do so on the same stage on Nov. 23.
She will perform with Cindy Cain and Pam Van Dyke, along with a live band, and the three will belt out dance tunes all freaking night.
A $10 ticket (from okjazz.org) gets you in for an event that starts at 7:30pm and runs until 10pm, which shouldn't be too late for you, even if you did participate in the horrific atrocity that is Black Friday.

Just returned from the VS Launch last week, and as promised here is the code for my sessions. I will post a separate entry with all the code for my Azure Tutorial which was on Thursday. And, as always, if you are looking for something in particular and can't find it here, just drop me an email!
AppFabric Access Control
RIA applications and WCF
Data Access
WCF. Workflow Services and AppFabric
At the PDC last week I presented a revamped version of my massive one-day presentation covering language trends, data access technologies, windows and web development, WCF and workflow, "Dublin" (now App Fabric), identity and cloud computing with Azure. Whew! Always a ton of work getting this presentation updated but it is a ton of fun to discuss all of these technologies in a single jam packed session and I hope you all enjoyed it. Here is a link to the goods:
At long last here is my post from the recent Dev Connections conference in Las Vegas. It was an interesting time getting things up and running for the conference what with the PDC the week after and so many updates to the Azure stack right before…but it was well worth the effort! Here are the sessions and related code samples.
I'm' still working on updating all my Azure samples since the PDC last week, so I'll post tutorial code separately.
A few short months after my EU tour (see previous blog post) I will be delivering a variation of my technology roadmap (once again, affectionately known as the technology avalanche) at the PDC in November 2009. You can bet even in that two short months I will have updated the seminar once again, to better reflect the latest state of the various technologies I will discuss. The goal of this workshop at the PDC will be to prepare you for the rest of PDC - get you up to speed with the various technologies from platform releases to languages, for data access, windows and web development, for middle-tier development, for security and identity related, and for cloud computing. Lots to cover, lots of fun to be had discussing the avalanche! You must join me!
Here are the details!
Developers increasingly have more on their mind and on their plate. Though Visual Studio and the .NET Framework both provide tools that yield an overall increase in productivity during the development cycle, the avalanche of technologies that build upon these foundations can seem overwhelming if not insurmountable at times. The goal of this workshop is to help you understand the value proposition of each technology and to prepare yourself to make the most of the rest of PDC. We'll help you make sense of language and platform trends, data access tier advances, technologies for windows client and web application development, the middle tier evolution with WCF and workflow, identity platforms and technologies, and cloud computing.
A few years ago I brought my Microsoft Technology Roadmap - affectionately known as the Technology Avalanche - to 5 countries in the EU. I thought there were a lot of technologies to cover then...but here we are two years later and there is no shortage of new technologies to talk about and so I will embark once again to some 5 countries including Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

I created this seminar to help all of you developers and architects keep up with all the many platform releases and technology stacks - to help you make sense of which technologies are right for your scenarios, and keep you apprised of the status of upcoming releases and their value proposition. It is no small undertaking I assure you! I am constantly updating this each time I deliver it, even if only a few months pass between events! I hope you will enjoy this renewed 2009 tour!
Here is a summary of the seminar:
With these rapidly changing times, developers have a lot more on their mind and on their plate than they did at any point in recent time. Although the Visual Studio and the .NET Framework both provide tools that yield an overall increase in productivity during the development cycle, the avalanche of technologies that builds upon these foundations can seem overwhelming if not insurmountable at times. This workshop will take you through a guided tour of the Microsoft technologies available today, tomorrow, and into the foreseeable future...and enable educated decisions on aligning your product road map with upcoming technologies.
· Language and platform trends for .NET 2.0 through .NET 4.0 including discussions of the language trends for C# 4.0 and Visual Basic 10, F# and parallel computing
· Advances for developing the data access tier from data sets and readers to LINQ, Entity Framework, ADO.NET Data Services and velocity
· Windows client development with WPF and the relevance of Windows Forms and ClickOnce
· Web development with ASP.NET, AJAX and Silverlight
· The evolution of the middle tier with WCF and Workflow, and the relevance of WCF Workflow Services in .NET 4.0 and Dublin
· The impact codename "Oslo" will have on the future of Microsoft development
· A review of identity platforms including Windows Identity Foundation, ADFS and Windows Cardspace
· The benefits of cloud computing with the Windows Azure Platform
In this intense, one–day briefing, you will see numerous demonstrations of these technologies, we will assess the benefits and advantages of the forward trends and you will gain an overall picture of each technology's place in your development efforts today and tomorrow–for each respective discipline. Developers, architects, and technical leads who would like to gain some perspective on the Microsoft road map, the applicability of each technology, the choices and the trade–offs, will greatly benefit from this workshop.
Thanks to a customer of mine (thank you Christoph!) some major improvements have been made to the ExceptionHandlingProxyBase type. Plus, a duplex version now exists. Nothing like using the code in production to work through the real limitations. I knew I had to add a lot of these things, but this week I had a good reason to do it.
The proxy generator can be found at http://wcfproxygenerator.codeplex.com
Invoke() and Value Types **I had a problem surface when I tried to return a value type (not a reference type) from Invoke(). I created this dependency in the generic method by requiring the generic type parameter to be a class. I changed this so now you can use value types freely.
Thread Safety ** A lock is used for all calls that touch the channel. But you can have parallel calls through Invoke() of course. ** Now you can safely have parallel calls to invoke, but if one thread encounters an exception other threads queue up before invoking the operation until the proxy is safely recreated. ** Disposal is now safe in multithreading environments.
Disposal ** Now all operations check if the object is disposed and throws if it is.
Initialization ** Now constructors call virtual Initialize() methods to support scenarios where the derived class wants to calculate values before calling down to base. ** Initialization only supported once.
Creation and Recreation ** Now the two are considered different so that we can enforce creation only once, while allowing multiple recreation attempts. Recreation also uses a lock to protect Invoke() and fires an event after so clients can do other work after recreation, such as subscribing to a service after the proxy is recreated.
Communication Events ** Clients can subscribe to these events even if channel isn't created yet. Events from the inner channel are fired to listeners.
Support for Message parameter type ** Invoke() retries didn't work if you had a contract that supports Message type. That's because you can't "replay" a Message instance, once it is read, it cannot be read again. There are two possible ways to handle this: a) Buffer the message before each first attempt to invoke and create a copy of the message for the first and (if applicable) second call. But, this means buffering unnecessarily when things are going well. b) allow the application to buffer in the derived type when using Message types. Then, subscribe to the RetryInvoke (new) event and supply a message before retry. ** I implemented b).
Hope you like it! Cheers!
The cool thing about creating an add-in for my exception handling proxy is that now it makes it easier for me to use it all the time when I create sample projects. Before, I would have to copy and paste the base type and hand-build the proxy, and this just wasn't realistic.
I'm blogging this because of course this also means I will uncover any bugs or missing features more quickly since I'm trying to use it everywhere. One such thing was that a change I made to my proxy wrapper to automate creating the channel in the constructor actually had a nasty side-effect that didn't surface until I tried to use it for a federated security sample. ClientCredentials was not accessible since the channel was already created. My bad.
I have since updated the proxy generator here: http://wcfproxygenerator.codeplex.com and there is a new release that includes the add-in sources in case you want to change how that works.
Even though I've been using this wrapper code in different incarnations for years, I am going to leave the codeplex site in Beta until I have tested with more scenarios. I think it is pretty stable though...aside from that little bug I introduced at the last minute. New code = more testing.
I'm loving using this everywhere, I hope you do to!
I have never run into this problem before, but I just realized that in WCF applications when I provide a certificate reference with FindBySubjectName - it can fail if you have two similarly named (not identical) certificates. I don't think this is by design, it has to be a bug, but I found a workaround.
Short and Sweet...here it is. If I have a certificate reference like this for "RP":
<certificateReference findValue="RP" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindBySubjectName"/>
But, I also have a cert named "RPSTS" in the same cert store, the lookup fails because it can't find a unique cert by the name RP. I don't know about you but I think "RP" and "RPSTS" are pretty unique...but not as far as WCF is concerned. I usually use FIndByThumbprint for production code, but for code samples and reference materials I want it to be obvious which cert we are dealing with, it is hard enough to trouble-shoot certs without having to look up thumbprints every time.
A workaround for this is to use FindBySubjectDistinguishedName so this works even if I have "CN=RP" and "CN=RPSTS" in my cert store.
<certificateReference findValue="CN=RP" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindBySubjectDistinguishedName"/>
Updated: 01/07/09 - adding WPF localization link below, and the others are really close...just final details taking forever
If you know where my technology focus lies you might be surprised to see the term WPF in my blog...I know, it's weird. But not really! You see I have been working on a rather large project to give WPF some love as it relates to my world - which means WCF, federated security, globalization/localization, and ClickOnce. Another part of this "client love" is WCF for mobile devices.
So far, I have the following projects published and ready to go:
There are a few more installments to come with this massive project. In the next week or so you'll see the following items that I have already well under way:
I just returned from Oslo, Norway from the annual NDC. This was my first time speaking there but it was a really great venue in a stadium setup - and as always the organizers at Program Utvikling did a fantastic job....I will definitely go back! Great conference!
