Utah Valley University Senior and home town girl Lyn Wells has been named the 2013 Western Regional Student Chef of the Year. Wells, who hails from Wellington, took the title by winning a culinary skill competition held in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho between April 12-15 as part of the American Culinary Federation's Regional Conference (ACF).
"It was an amazing experience," said Wells, before leaving her parent's restaurant at the Cowboy Club to return to classes in Orem. "The competition couldn't have gone any better."
According to Wells, the competition's four judges were impressed with the manner in which she worked in the kitchen and commented that her food "ate well together."
"I screwed up a couple of components," she said, critiquing her own work. "I broke my mousse for the chicken and I thought I over-salted the tomatoes but the judges seemed to like what I had done. There were things I could have done better. Overall, I felt my dish was great other than a few flaws."
Wells' winning dish was entitled "Chicken Compose" which consisted of roasted chicken breast; chicken and potato croquette; pepper, basil and prosciutto roulade, chicken crackling and chicken-fat poached potato tourné; roasted King Oyster and Idaho morel mushrooms; roasted eggplant and squash with tomato fondue; spring horseradish puree and mushroom fortified chicken jus.
Wells changed the dish just prior to the ACF Conference after receiving some advice from judges at a practice competition. She had initially planned a Mediterranean theme a chicken roulade cut in half with an olive mousse but changed when the practice judges commented that the dish needed to be focused more on chicken.
"At high level competitions like the ACF, the main ingredient they choose must be strongly represented," said Wells before going to Coeur d'Alene. "I have been practicing a lot and feel ready for this."
Ready she was. After her performance, one of the five judges who had watched her every move stated via a USU press release, "Wow. We judges learned some things from this young lady. She has techniques that none of us have ever seen before."
As the ACF's Western Region Student Chef of the Year, Wells will now have the opportunity to compete against three other regional winners for the national honor of the United State's best student chef. The national ACF conference will take place in Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan from July 21-25.
"The most difficult part of these competitions is cooking in a kitchen you are not used to," said Wells. "But I'm getting better at that. For nationals, I will have to prepare two dishes and two plates so everything will be a little more difficult, a little more of a challenge."
If her educational and competition record mean anything, the Las Vegas competition should prepare for Wells. She is the first UVU student to be named Student Chef of the Year. In the three hot-food competitions she has competed in as a member of the university's culinary student team. She has received four gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal in sanctioned events. In July 2012, she served as an apprentice for National Pastry Chef of the Year Adalberto Diaz.
While Wells has always dreamed of owning her own restaurant, she hopes to have the opportunity to work with chefs from around the world and hone her craft before striking out on her own. According to UVU, Wells is also a member of ACF Beehive Chefs Chapter, Inc.

After using the admin stuff in servers there are some server admin command flaws that require updating and overhauling.
1. /kickban
= kick + ban, pointless if you just want to kick someone to just get attention or being mildly disruptive without the aggressive need to ban them.
/kickban <player ID#> <length of ban in minutes #>
/kickban 3 60
= kicks and bans player ID 3 for an hour
2. /kick <player ID#>
= plain and simple kick + no banning.
3. /callvote kick 2 /callvote map x
= Admin voting on a regular player's vote isn't a democratic vote, its an overruling which is counter productive and dictatorial.
It should work as follows : a player starts a vote and an admin chooses yes or no and it will not be a final decision. (unless of course there are only 2 players eligible to vote!)
For an admin to override voting then he must press the same vote 3 times in a row.
F1 F1 F1 - it should also be displayed/broadcast to ALL players that the admin has overruled the vote.
An admin starts a vote and it is completed with the other players as normal, which is what SHOULD happen when a regular player starts a vote also.
Why does an admin have to wait 10 seconds on a map reload to administer an authoritative vote?
Apologies for any confusion given.

90% of my friends own their own business. Doctors, Lawyers, Contractors, Retail, Restaurateurs, etc. We discuss our businesses all the time. We support one another and we share the same concerns. THE ONE THING we have all experienced over the past few years is a "trend" of local support. It comes and goes in waves. Everyone likes to say they shop local and they want to support Ma – Pa business, along with young entrepreneurs who take huge risks to live "the dream". But the fact is… billions of dollars were spent this year shopping online. And that money did NOT SUPPORT this community!
When a business shuts down or closes due to lack of business… people love to say things like "what a shame" or "too bad they didn't have what it takes", etc. THE FACT IS…. IF EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY SHOPPED LESS ONLINE AND INVESTED THEIR MONEY BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY…. over 95% OF SMALL BUSINESSES WOULD SUCCEED! ALL utilities, taxes, rent and insurance cost small business owners more than average. Usually double. LACK of local support… YEAR ROUND… NOT JUST HOLIDAYS…. NOT JUST "SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY" and the other trendy, "make you feel all fuzzy" days that are all over social media… But small business owners and artisans are at work daily… after hours!!! We would rather work 80 HOURS DOING WHAT WE LOVE… than work 40 hours for someone else doing what they love! AND WE DO IT FOR YOU AS WELL… we want to share our talents and we want you LOVE US as much as we LOVE OUR COMMUNITY!
Those of us who have started First Friday ViBe and are working diligently to bring Virginia Beach's very own Art's District are thankful for the supporters that come out every month… warm, cold, rainy…. WE LOVE YOU! WE APPRECIATE YOU! And we would love to see you more!
JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW… in ViBe District…. There are several restaurants, retail shoppes, artist studios, custom building businesses, coffee shoppes, a florist, fabrics, interior designers, architects, an ad agency… and the list goes on! Everyone is excited for the growth and the energy here in The ViBe… SO PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE HERE…. YEAR ROUND…. and we PROMISE TO CONTINUE to surprise you and deliver AWESOME SERVICE with original and AMAZING PRODUCTS!

It didn't take very long for sore and bitter people to bring the mans name up again. Damn, don't you people give it a rest??? Think not Republican or Democratic, think America!!!
Hey, I'm supposed to do the preachin' BUT, you doing a good job. GET AFTER THEM!!!!!!
Preachin's good but we probably need to be prayin because neither the dems or the reps are taking care of America anymore. IMHO
It's real interesting. The Lord knew about the outcome of this before election day ever came around. It is incumbent upon us to pray and to seek His will as to why it happened. It could have something to do with 2nd Chronicles 7:14. IMHO
I'm verse challenged.....but instead of governing America, they are changing it. Not to my liking either.
[14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Well, either somebody ain't praying or they don't like the original America. Lol
Didn't you say here while back that you were going to keep your plane up in Illinois somewhere, back when all that talk was going on about moving Chicago South?
It's a bit late for the country to throw away those two useless parties now mate. I for one agree with you 100%, the best way to tear a nation apart is to divide it into two warring factions and then vote based on "sides" instead of what's good and right for the country. Only in America will you find that kind of stupidity.
Good point THRUSTT. I'm as unhappy with Obama as I would have been with Romney, but I do think the administration has caused setbacks to general aviation. The president has repeatedly lashed out and demonized business aviation. He campaigned on the successes of the auto bailouts but neglected to see that his statements are hurting an already struggling aviation industry. Similar to Detroit and other car manufacturing communities Wichita has lost hundreds of jobs to outsourcing and capacity reductions, but no bailouts here. I believe Air Force One can be regarded as the biggest corporate aircraft in the world and Obama does not seem to mind using it, while bashing the supposed "rich and famous" clientele of corporate aviation. He needs to get his facts straight.
First he was muslim, then Kenyan. What now, he is going to invalidate Bernoulli's principle? Come on, isn't this a bit of a stretch?
Lets have the USAF .. Park AF1 .. tell him he has no plane or even a back up .. and see how fast he get it together ....
That's actually a really good idea.
Haha yeah, next thing you know Obama will be part of NBAA's No Plane No gain!!
This article is, eh, not the most objective piece I've read in a while. Not that objectivity matters in journalism anymore...
If you can't accept the outcome, then move!
Call AOPA in Maryland about the prospect of "user Fees" for general aviation to get the latest info.
well u can pay higher taxes,than and that is the only the start.god help us all.
"Anti-Aviation"?! Our President has been accused of a lot of things over the course of this campaign, but this is really bizarre. Is the author seriously implying that commercial airlines who treat their customers like cattle, refuse to treat their pilots and crew with dignity and respect, and ultimately go under as a result is somehow Obama's ninja-like "Anti-Aviation" convictions?
Seriously. How did this even show up on the FlightAware feed?
From the left panel click on 'Squawks and Headlines', then on the right, click on "Add a Squawk". Just as in California, $200 filing fee and a typewriter, you can file any lawsuit. Neither FA nor the Courts filter what I would see as 'stupidity', IMNSHO.
He has slammed General Aviation in his speeches. Demanding that people that can buy these planes can pay additional taxes to fly them in his government airspace.
If someone can afford to finance their own, personal BC King Air...or Hell, even afford to acquire and maintain a pilot's licence while renting a Cessna a couple times a month, yeah...your doing just fine. Can they afford to pay for a few extra text books for our kids? Likely.
But whatever. It's not the point. Calling out those who can afford to be a GA pilot is hardly "Anti-Aviation". When he starts shutting down airports and destroying pilot's unions, then it would be a fair accusation.
Absolute bullshit. I make $35K and a lot of that goes into flying because I'm obsessed with it and see a greater reward in the future. People-possibly me some day-rely on business aviation for JOBS.
Joel, I am one of those who rents a Cessna a couple times a month and maintains a pilot's license. Unfortunately I don't have the extra bucks to pay for somebody else's text books, and I am not sure why I should. I make sacrifices in order to fly because I love it. I don't drive a fancy car, I don't own a house, a boat or jetskis. Instead I spend every extra dime to go fly, much like many of my flying buddies. I am a college student, I pay for my own text books and I don't expect anybody else to buy them for me. In my opinion if you decide to have kids you should be aware of the responsibility and expenses that come with it, rather than relying on others to provide for you and your family. I'm convinced that a lot of this anti GA garbage is pure envy. Clueless folks automatically assume that if you can afford to fly a plane you get bundles of cash in your pocket, but the reality is far from that.
Got to agree. It's like anything else, a person will sacrifice to do what they love to do. I have friends that love to hunt/fish. They have a $40000 bass boat and bunches of equipment and a high priced pickup to pull it and the totally maxd out 4 wheeler sitting on a trailer, yet they live in a shack and don't have much other niceties, cause those extra dimes go to what they want. They don't expect anybody to support them either. They work their butts off and just take every amount of off time on the lake or in the woods. They may appear wealthy but aren't anywhere near it.
sorry..."you're"...auto-correct strikes again.
Yeah $11 Billion dollars over 10 year is going to mean a hella beans to our countries problems. If you read his FY2013 Budget (BTW the Dems haven't passed a budget in 3 years which is sad!!) the user fees don't apply to piston airplanes. If Liberls want to pay taxes then pay more! Why dont you pay $100 per flight, right now?! I'm sure the governement would love to have the money!
Once they passed the 25% mark for taxes they were out of bounds. I don't care if you make a billion $ a year. And the 50% that don't pay any taxes, that is a joke if they are able bodied. Everyone needs to contribute something so they have skin in the game.
I wondered the same thing, why post this on FA, especially so quick after the results??? Seems a loser wanted to vent, and this was the only avenue available. I don't agree with everything the man does, but people really need to get off his back!!!
Tax SUV drivers first. They take up more space and increase demand of gas while decreasing supply. (Prices go up for all) Not to mention the view blocking and risk to drivers of more efficient vehicles. A 172 in class charlie is hardly the problem.
Hello Taxes!
You're in Canada, why worry???
Hello Taxes!
In what ways is this an "Anti-Aviation" administration?
You dont think that everyone will be touched by the second term of his? He will start to put the left wing ideals into action now as he has nothing to loose as there will be no third term. So anything he does is not going to affect what happens in his life after this term. Guns,airplanes, peoples rights that work will all be affected now. Get what you think he will do away with or put out of peoples reach now.
Get your brain away from your radio.
That was the most insightful thing I've read all day. Thanks for sharing. I am now convinced that all my rights will be taken away over the course of the next 4 years.
LOL, obama and aviation... If you buy a $50,000 plane, you will probably have to pay 200% taxes... After all, he has to have someway to pay for his vacations.
ANN has some good articles, usually with the author's byline, but this one has no name associated with it and sounds like something straight from Fox News. Very disappointing that ANN has stooped to fear mongering. "Can aviation survive under Obama?" Give me a break.
Aviation will continue to flourish, just as it has for the past 109 years. Some wealthy individuals will, however, have to pay more for the privilege of using their "business jets" to take them to places like Acapulco and Monte Carlo and to transport their cash to their tax-free offshore bank accounts.
Don't blame the President, blame the obstructionist do nothing congress

BUFFALO, N.Y. - A rally in support of lawful gun owners and the Second Amendment drew several hundred people to Niagara Square Saturday.
Several groups including, SCOPE, Tea New York and others hosted the rally in front of Buffalo City Hall that started at noon.
The gathering was planned in conjunction with a nationwide Gun Appreciation Day.
The event transformed into a protest rally after Governor Cuomo pushed the NY SAFE Act through the state legislature on Tuesday.
"The shot was the command of someone in authority to seize the arms of innocent people and we have heard that shot again," said Lenny Roberto, a member of the Buffalo Tea Party.
Carol Girdlestone, a Tonawanda resident said, "I do believe that there should be some type of gun control, but I think they're doing it all the wrong way."
Many protestors we heard from say the law will do little to stop illegal use of guns, which they say should be the focus. The NY SAFE ACT increases restrictions on assault rifles, it requires background checks for private sales of ammunition, in addition to requiring that pistol permit holders renew their permits every five years.
"The first thing that everybody looks at is the magazines, the background checks is another whole thing, re-registering everything every five years, you need to go through the process once," said Rus Thompson, an organizer of the rally and a leader of Tea New York.
John and Connie Peracciny of Lockport felt it was important to bring their two children here.
"The core of our family is just doing things together and to teach them the Constitution and our amendment rights and to carry that tradition onto their kid's kids," John Peracciny said.
Two On Your Side's Jeff Preval was there for the rally and spoke to Republican Assemblymember David DiPietro, who voted against the NY SAFE ACT.
DiPietro said he hopes something legitimate will happen as a result of the rally and that, "I'm going to have a petition and I know others are carrying petitions and I hope to take it to the doorstep and hand it directly to Andrew Cuomo."
The protestors hope all lawmakers in Albany debate the law this week, realize the problems they see in it and repeal it.
Meantime, protesters brought American flags, signs and banners, some of which could've been potentially offensive to passersby.
WGRZ-TV understands some of the signs in the crowd might be offensive to some viewers. Preval asked DiPietro about them and he said some of the signs against President Obama and Gov. Cuomo were over the top.
Many people at the rally continued the conversation at a forum at the Statler Saturday afternoon. DiPietro says he's looking for 100,000 signatures over the next couple weeks to fill the petition.
The governor's office on Friday launched a website, www.NYSAFEact.com, that could help answer questions about which guns and magazines are legal, when each provision in the law takes effect and how to register assault weapons that are grandfathered in under the law.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 1 Silkweight Stretch Crew (Men's):
This is a great next-to-skin piece for your layering system. Good for most any sport, it's going to wick away moisture and not hold sweat. Very basic and great colors. This is a base layer, designed to fit close to the skin (all the better for wicking the moisture off said skin) so don't buy it too small if you haven't already tried one on in person.

I've played quake live on and off since it was in beta but I have never practiced to get better or played a real duel in my life. Some months ago i stumbled upon theGDstudio with 2gd and now I really want to get in to it again =)
Got a standard account, living in sweden.
No idea of my skill - guessing below med- something xD. Basically got the movement down, can time 1 item for a few minutes but as i said - no previous duel experience.
"Duel partner" might be misleading as i don't play on scheduled times but if you're about the same add me. Basically just looking to fill up my friends list with ppl to duel ^^

MASSENA Massena recreation officials are considering a proposal to replace the current lighting in the Massena Arena with energy-efficient lighting.
Although it would save money in the long run, the new lighting comes with an initial price tag of $51,340.
The proposal was presented Tuesday to members of the Massena Joint Recreation Commission by Massena Electric Department Deputy Superintendent Dale F. Raymo and Treasurer Jeffrey M. Dobbins.
Mr. Raymo and Mr. Dobbins emphasized it would not be an MED project, but rather one that would be worked out between the Massena Recreation Department and a contractor who had responded to a request for proposal.
MED, they said, had simply acted as a conduit in soliciting proposals from contractors who might be interested in the project.
It is not an MED project. MED steered it to where it is, Mr. Raymo said, telling Recreation Commission members that if they elected to move forward, they would deal directly with the contractor to set up the schedule.
He said that one of MEDs roles is to offer a series of energy-efficiency programs for customers, both residential and commercial, with an incentive for those who move forward with an energy savings plan.
Mr. Dobbins said that, during their discussions, the lighting at the Massena Arena was brought up, and they wondered if there was something MED could do to help lower that cost. They worked with Beardsley Design Associates to send out a request for proposal. Three firms responded to RFP.
They actually evaluated the entire building, from a meeting room near the main office to the other end of the ice rink, according to the treasurer.
Mr. Dobbins and Mr. Raymo said recreation officials might want to consider the bid from SmartWatt Energy, which is based out of Ballston Lake. Mr. Dobbins said the company works with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Their bid was $51,340, while the highest bid was $171,000 from Dow Electric.
SmartWatt Energy officials said that based on their evaluation, they could provide the Recreation Commission with an annual energy savings of $4,033, while Dow Electric officials said theirs would be $10,066.
The Recreation Commission would receive MED credit of $20,165 if recreation officials moved forward with the SmartWatt Energy proposal.
If you did the whole project, we would place the whole $20,000 credit on your bill next spring, Mr. Dobbins said.
A third company, OConnell Electric, bid $145,639 and said their anticipated annual energy savings was $2,222.
The net cost for the Recreation Commission, after they received a credit from MED, would be $31,175 if they went with SmartWatt Energy, $134,529 if they went with OConnell Electric and $120,670 if they went with Dow Electric.
Recreation Commission Chairman David M. MacLennan wondered if the entire project would need to be done in one shot or if it could be done piecemeal to spread the initial cost out.
Mr. Raymo said he would need to talk with the contractor.
I dont know if theyll hold their prices for lighting for other parts of the arena, he said.
Before making a decision, recreation officials want to know if SmartWatt has worked with other rinks and if the lighting they provided would soon be obsolete with the advent of new technology.
Board member George Hammill asked, if they moved forward with the project, what would happen if the projected savings did not come to fruition.
They based it on their calculations, Mr. Raymo said.
Recreation officials must still discuss the proposal with town and village officials. Trustee Albert N. Nicola, the towns liaison to the Recreation Commission, said he would discuss it with board members during their meeting next week. Trustee Albert Herb Deshaies, the villages liaison, said he would like MED officials to talk about the project with the village board when they also meet next week.
The decision doesnt have to be made until the end of December, Mr. Raymo said.

One of the biggest problems users have with choosing an Android phone over another platform is figuring out which OS is going to give the best performance with which type of phone. A number of companies, including OpenSignalMaps, have been trying to quantify the problem by analyzing the amount of fragmentation in the market.
Using data from 681,900 devices that downloaded OpenSignalMaps software over the past six months, they found 3,997 distinct Android devices running its app. This is a great chart showing the spread:
Each rectangle represents a unique Android device. The big green rectangle in the upper left is the Samsung Galaxy S II - by far the most popular Android phone in the study.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative cell phone accessories that protect your smartphones from the hustle and bustle of everyday life... stylish cell phone cases and cell phone covers and skins from top brands like iSkin, Incipio, Puregear, Griffin, Moshi, Incase, Otterbox and Powermat all specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes.
This shows an incredible number of Android version/display resolution combinations. Analysts at OpenSignalMaps predict that number will continue to grow. Their report states: "Android has shown commitment to make it easier to target multiple screen sizes – by introducing the (perhaps ironically named) fragments APIs in 2011 which makes it easier to turn view elements into modules."
OpenSignalMaps also took a look at the version of Android each device was running:
Take your devices to new level, enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and XMI Speakers all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
More than half of all Android phones are still running version 2.3 Gingerbread, and Gingerbread is all of 18 months old. The newest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, barely shows on the chart.
Since Google's Android is free and open for use by any hardware manufacturer, there are thousands of different devices running the OS. "Android fragmentation" is the term given to the spread of different versions of the Android OS across all devices.
So what does this mean? It's a really good situation if you want more choice in your hardware. But it's really bad if you want timely software updates or a guarantee the latest and greatest apps will work on your device.
Compliment your audio experience with top brand earbuds and headsets by: Scosche, iSkin, Moshi, Beats by Dr. Dre, Clarity One, Incase and Plantronics
The OpenSignalMaps report concluded that the benefits of building apps for Android far outweigh the drawbacks. "One of the joys of developing for Android is you have no idea who'll end up using your app. With many devices under $100 unsubsidized, Android phones and tablets are able to reach a market that can't afford netbooks. For the majority of the world's population smartphones (and not computers) will be the must-have devices."
In case you were wondering where Apple fits in, they don't have this problem. iOS only runs on one phone, the iPhone, and the latest version still supports the three-year-old iPhone 3GS. Microsoft is following the Apple model somewhat. They require Windows Phone manufacturers meet strict requirements to guarantee that updates go through to all devices in a timely fashion.
Developer Michael DeGusta created the visualization of what he called Android's fragmented update history. He wrote, "Ever since the iPhone turned every smartphone into a blank slate, the value of a phone is largely derived from the software it can run and how well the phone can run it. When you're making a 2 year commitment to a device, it'd be nice to have some way to tell if the software was going to be remotely current in a year or, heck, even a month."

|Men's Track & Field » Schedule » Roster » News » Coaches » Camps » Recruiting Questionnaire
Thursday, December 20, 2012
Head track and field coach Bill Taylor gives a narrative for the time he has spent in Haiti. With the trip wrapping up, he discusses his thoughts on carry over into coming back into the states.
One of the great things on this trip has been doing daily morning personal devotions and quiet time with God. I've heard so many in our group talk about how important this has been. It sets the tone for each day, opens our ears, eyes and hearts to God, is relaxing and therapeutic, and so much more. We read the Bible, we answer questions, we pray and we journal. And we are far better for it.
We are committing to finding the time from this moment on to do this for 30min a day. In reflecting on this, I've had many friends and acquaintances that have done this over the years. I've never heard a single one say "That was a waste of time!" On the contrary, every person I've ever known who did this consistently has changed for the better and has grown massively in their walk with God.
We have four small groups of five people from our team of 20 on this trip. We will meet once a week for at least the next couple of months to talk, reflect, encourage, teach and learn from each other, with the foundation of shared experience here.
This is for each person to figure out…finding other accountability groups and partners, be the mentors, church groups, FCA, or whatever else. The more each person surrounds themselves with alive, active and on fire Christians, the better.
Humans are strange. We seek homeostasis. We want normalcy. We like routine and predictability.

Lately, our mothers would be proud: we've been dropping our hemlines, buttoning our top buttons, and slipping on our bow-bedecked kitten heels, all with the goal of effectively outfitting ourselves in fall's lovely ladylike looks. Yet, while tasteful and demure is nice-both parentally approved and au courant-sometimes getting dressed is all about letting the good times roll! That's why we're so thrilled to bring you our newest installment of Runway to Real Way, which is dedicated to this season's edgy and decadent counterpart: Baroque & Roll.
Noted for its rich fabrics, emphasis on liquid-like metallics, and dedication to sexy, slim, menswear-inspired lines, this glitzy trend owes its glory to a number of intriguing sartorial influences. At Balmain, Christophe Decarnin embraced formerly stuffy brocades and jacquards that would typically feel at home in a room at Versailles and infused them with renewed joie de vivre. Rethinking these tapestry-like materials, he created peak-shouldered mini dresses and statement coats (this Brocade Jacket ($16840) is similar), pairing the latter with skinny Velours Biker Pants ($5201) and shimmering metallic tops and scarves. The high-voltage look not only radiates a dangerously provocative sex appeal, but it is also texturally stunning and complex. The same electrifying use of mixed materials was also favored at Roberto Cavalli, where models walked the runway in everything from darkly romantic ensembles, like an ornate pair of Velvet Devore Trousers ($2394) and a semi-sheer Silk Mousseline Shirt ($2154), to luxurious bohemian looks, such as the featured outfit, which consists of a Knitted-Sleeve Jacket ($11005), gray Silk Blouse ($1150), Embroidered Harem-Style Pants ($4105), and peep-toe Ankle Boots ($1515).
When it comes to Baroque & Roll's historical references, Louis XIV isn't the only king we have to pay homage to; one must also salute rock royalty like Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, and Marianne Faithfull. In the late '60s, these international idols had a well-documented penchant for opulent glamour, and the military-inspired outerwear, skinny scarves, and funky furs they favored are clearly visible in the Baroque & Roll aesthetic. Even the trend's lithe silhouettes and focus on sumptuous materials-like lamé and velvet-match the sartorial tenets of that time. However, what makes this look fresh now is the decision to leave the Swingin' Sixties red, green, and purple palette behind and adopt a more muted canvas. Take, for example, our selected look from Pucci's F/W 10 runway. The lace-up jumpsuit and plunging neckline clearly references the sexual revolution's heyday, but the fact that the ensemble is black from head to toe and styled with cutout shoes gives it a decidedly current air. Additionally, while there is an emphasis on masculine silhouettes, Baroque & Roll is not strictly relegated to coats and pants. Gucci's Frida Giannini also opted for a décolletage-revealing, deep V-neckline with her sequin and ostrich feather Degrade Dress ($9600, 800.456.7663), which she paired with Python Print Tights ($99, 800.456.7663) and suede T-Strap Sandals ($725, 800.456.7663) for a sizzling high-wattage cocktail outfit. While the masterful mix of monochromatic materials is a more understated example of Baroque & Roll, the flashbulb-ready combo of ombre fur and sparkling paillettes clearly adheres to the over-the-top style of today's topic.
Now that we've fully investigated the runway aspect of this trend, we'd like to take a moment to look at a real-life interpretation spotted on one of the newest additions to the stylesetting Gossip Girl clan: Cleménce Poésy. Earlier this fall, Poésy attended the Toronto Film Festival to promote 127 Hours and was snapped wearing Balmain's Golden Sequined Jacket ($24650) with a vintage tee, H&M Jeans ($39.95), Madewell The Buckled Biker Boots ($248), and a Chanel purse. Not only do we fully appreciate how she seamlessly mixed in designer pieces with high-street finds, but we also love how she deftly translated this runway trend to make it work for a red-carpet event. By contrasting her hero Baroque & Roll piece-the glitzy jacket-with muted winter tones and off-duty staples like roughed-up denim and moto boots, she has achieved a sense of sartorial balance and executed a enviably aloof and fashion-forward ensemble. The finishing touch? Poésy kept her hair sleek yet natural and her makeup minimal, a beauty look that further tempers the opulent nature of this trend.
In order to recreate this dreamy decadence for yourself, we suggest attacking Baroque & Roll as though it is a PlayStation game: ie, one level at a time. Novices should start with an entry-level look, which simply calls for incorporating one Baroque & Roll-inspired accessory into your wardrobe. There are so many options to choose from-you could go for an embellished hat or lace shoes, for example-but we really like Rachel Comey's Envelope Sleeve Clutch ($150), which has a marbled print similar to those seen on the runways, and Topshop's Tiger Sequin Scarf ($70). Both are savvy, low-risk purchases and the perfect beginner pieces for the B&R trend.
Once you're comfortable with the basics, it's time to expand your repertoire and tackle some larger items. Our insider tip for this level is to follow Mademoiselle Poésy's game plan and go for statement outerwear. Tibi's Lace Back Long Blazer ($450) should do the trick and is an excellent choice for evening due to its sophisticated mix of velvet, satin, and lace. If you're feeling a little bolder, Alice and Olivia's Luiza Embellished Jacket ($796) is a spot-on option for recreating some of Decarnin's sumptuous style or you can check out bebe's Brocade Military Jacket ($279), another interesting option. If you prefer to keep your outerwear on the understated side, you could always add a skirt instead; we like Isabel Marant's Glody Brocade Mini Skirt ($470) and either the Jacquard Mini ($128) or the Jacquard Pencil Skirt ($198), both by J. Crew.
Finally, if you're rockin' and rollin' and ready to go for baroque, it's time to attempt the master level, which means layering lots of lavish items to create one fantastical outfit. If you're ready to create a look worthy of Marianne Faithfull circa 1967, you could start with Winter Kate's Ophelia Tunic Dress in Burnout Velvet ($556) and add a furry touch with Anna Sui's Faux Fur Coat ($605) for a monochromatic, sophisticated ensemble with an Almost Famous vibe! Another great option for a luxurious pairing of velvet and faux fur would be to slip on Asos' Velvet Peg Pants ($64) with a black satin tank and Dolce Vita's Sadie Faux Fur Jacket ($286). Or, lastly, opt for lamé and try tucking Equipment's Signature Blouse ($252) into slim black pants and add the aforementioned Rachel Comey Envelope Sleeve Clutch ($150) for a festive, yet professional, after-hours look.-Liza Kaplan

SketchUp's application preferences are used to set various global behaviors for SketchUp. Activate the Preferences from the SketchUp menu.
Use the Applications preferences panel to identify the application used to open an application for editing image files.
Default Image Editor
Use the Choose button to display the Image Editor Browser. Use the browser to locate an image editor for your image files.
Use the Drawing preferences panel to define global mouse (or otherinput device) behavior.
Click Style
The Click Style options allow you to define how your input device reacts to clicks.
Click-drag-release: Use the Click-drag-release button to force the Line tool to draw by click and holding the mouse button to define the start point of the line, dragging the mouse to extend the line, and releasing the mouse to establish the end point of the line.
Auto detect:Use the Auto Detect button to use either Click-drag-release and Click-move-click as necessary.
Click-move-click: Use the Click-move-click button to force the Line tool to draw by clicking and releasing the mouse button to define the start point of the line, moving the mouse to extend the line, and clicking again to establish the end point of the line.
Continue line drawing:Use the Continue line drawing checkbox to force the Line tool to treat an end point as the start point of a new line, saving you the one extra click required establish a new start point for the second line.
The Miscellaneous options define other global mouse behaviors.
Display crosshairs:Use the Display crosshairs checkbox to display a set of colored crosshairs (corresponding to axes colors) when drawing.
Auto-activate paint tool:Use the Auto-activate paint tool checkbox to automatically activate the Paint Bucket tool after you select a color swatch.
Disable pre-pick on Push/Pull Tool: By default, you can select a face with the Select tool, orbit the model (even so that the pre-selected face is hidden), click on the Push/Pull tool and push/pull anywhere on the screen to push/pull the pre-selected face. This feature allows you to push/pull faces that are normally hard to select. Check the Disable pre-pick on Push/Pull tool checkbox to disable this pre-pick feature.
Bounding box only
Click the Bounding box only checkbox to toggle between displaying only one bounding box or displaying a bounding box for each component and it's corresponding edges when selected.
Use the Extensions preferences panel to add or remove SketchUpextensions. An extension can be an add-on tool or feature created by SketchUp that is not necessarily a part of core SketchUp functionality.
Select the checkbox next to the extension that you want to enable in SketchUp. The extension will be available (menu items and optional toolbar) the next time your run SketchUp.
Use the General preferences panel to define global save and settings.
Create backup
Use the Create backup checkbox to automatically create a backup file whenever you save a drawing. The backup file is the previously saved version of the file. This file will be saved to the same folder as the drawing file. For example, if your drawing is hotel.skp, the backup will be called hotel.skb.
Use the Auto-save checkbox to automatically save changes to your drawing into a temporary file at specific time interval. This temporary file is available on the file system should SketchUp abnormally exit. Type the auto-save interval, in minutes, into the minutes field.
The temporary file's name will be a combination of the word 'AutoSave' with the original filename, such as AutoSave_hotel.skp. This file is saved in the Autosave folder under
/Library/Application Support/SketchUp/Autosave if the model
has never been saved. SketchUp puts the auto save file in the same directory
as the model file.
SketchUp checks your model for unrecoverable errors during the auto-save, preventing the overwriting of a good auto-save file. Sketchup will display a dialog box in the rare case that unrecoverable errors are found in your model. This dialog box contains the option to quit SketchUp and send a report. SketchUp recommends you click on the quit SketchUp and send report button to terminate SketchUp and preserve your previously valid auto-save file. This report contains valuable information regarding the unrecoverable errors.
Check model for problems
The Check model for problems options allow you to enable problem checking for your SketchUp models.
Automatically check models for problems: Selecting the Automatically check model for problems checkbox causes SketchUp to check for minor problems with your model. These problems can occur given the infinite flexibility that SketchUp provides when designing in 3D. Your model is assessed for problems when it is loaded or saved. SketchUp strongly recommends selecting this box to ensure that problems are corrected proactively, allowing your model to perform optimally. You must manually check for problems using the Fix Problems button in the Statistics panel of the Model Info dialog box if you leave this checkbox deselected.
Automatically fix problems when they are found: Selecting the Automatically fix problems when they are found checkbox causes SketchUp to fix problems found in your model automatically (without having to display a dialog box). Leave this checkbox deselected if you want SketchUp to display a dialog box (with the Always fix my models, Fix it now, and Fix it later options) when a problem is found.
Scenes and Styles
The Scenes and Styles options allow you to enable warnings for style changes.
Warn of style change when creating scenes:Use the Warn of style changes when creating scenes if you want to be notified when a style has changed when adding scenes to your file.
Software Updates
The Software Updates option allows you to automatically check for software updates.
Automatically check for updates: Check the Automatically check for updates checkbox to allow SketchUp to automatically check for updates to the application when you are connected to the Internet.
Use the OpenGL preferences panel to define how the OpenGL standard should be applied within SketchUp.
OpenGL Settings
The OpenGL Settings allow you to speed up OpenGL drawing.
Use Hardware acceleration: Use the Use Hardware acceleration checkbox to use the hardware acceleration features of a video card. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of 3D drivers in the consumer video card market are 100% OpenGL compatible and can use this feature (though many cards claim to be 100% OpenGL compatible). Most 3d drivers are designed for games, and are rarely tested using other 3D programs. Consequently, numerous incompatibility problems can occur requiring a fix from the video card manufacturer. Disable this option if you are having problems with the 3D rendering of your models or if your video card is not 100% OpenGL compatible and does not support hardware acceleration.
SketchUp cannot control the quality of the OpenGL driver on your computer system. Video card device drivers are proprietary and are maintained solely by the manufacturer of the video card in your system. Therefore, We cannot guarantee that SketchUp will work with hardware acceleration on your system. Refer to the OpenGL topic for further information.
Use maximum texture size: Selecting the Use maximum texture size checkbox uses the maximum texture size supported by your graphics card. This option might result in a slowing of SketchUp unless your graphics card and computer can handle what is advertised.
Use fast feedback: Selecting the Use fast feedback checkbox increases performance when editing large models. SketchUp runs a test to assess whether your video card can support this option on startup. SketchUp will activate this option if fast feedback is supported. You can also attempt to use this feature by selecting the Use Fast Feedback checkbox manually; however you will be warned by SketchUp that enabling this option could cause problems on your system if fast feedback is not supported.
Use the Shortcuts preferences panel to define keyboard shortcuts for most SketchUp commands.
Assigning keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts can dramatically speed up your drawing by allowing you to change tools while keeping the mouse cursor near the drawing area. To assign a keyboard shortcut:
- Select the command to which you will assign a keyboard shortcut (within the Function list). Existing keyboard shortcuts for this command will display in the Key column.
- Type the keyboard shortcut key sequence in the text field at the bottom of the panel. Shortcut keys can consist of any keyboard key, except number keys, with a few exceptions. Any key that can be used as a shortcut can also be assigned a modifier key like Shift, Control, or Option. SketchUp will indicate when a key or key combination cannot be used or is already assigned.
SketchUp will prompt you before allowing you to assign a keyboard shortcut that is already assigned to another command. Some keys are reserved for use by Mac OS X and can not be assigned as a keyboard shortcut.
The Measurements toolbar and keyboard shortcuts
Temporary focus is given to the Measurements toolbar when you type a number while in the drawing area. Therefore, numbers cannot be used as shortcut keys. The letters S, R, X, and the symbols / and * can be used within keyboard shortcuts and as you enter values in the Measurements toolbar. Add a prefix to any of these letters with a number in the Measurements toolbar to ensure that a command with a corresponding keyboard shortcut letter is not invoked. For example, 7s would be the correct entry to redefine a segmentation in the Measurements toolbar. However, s7 will activate whatever command is invoked with the letter S as a keyboard shortcut.
Use the Template preferences panel to designate a SketchUp file that you would want to use as a template for all of your subsequent models.
Use the Workspace preferences panel to make changes to your SketchUp workspace.
Tool Palette
SketchUp has two differently sized tool pallets. The large tool buttons are easier for some users to see and use (they provide larger areas to click with your mouse) and are easier to use with a pen and tablet. Smaller buttons save screen space, allowing a larger drawing area.
Use large tool buttons: Use on the Use large tool buttons checkbox to toggle between large and small tool buttons.
Main Window
The Main Window options allow you to set the behavior for the main SketchUp window.
Cascade main windows: Select the Cascade main windows checkbox to place newly created drawing windows lightly below and to the right (cascaded) of the previous drawing window. This feature is useful if you want to see all of your drawing window title bars. Newly created drawing windows will appear directly on top of each other when this option is not enabled.
Save current window size:Click on the Save current window size button to save the window size for the currently active drawing window as the default size for SketchUp.
Reset Workspace Button
Use the Reset Workspace button to reset SketchUp to its default configuration (all dialog boxes are closed).

ALFRED, Maine (AP) - The prosecution has rested its case in the trial of a Maine insurance agent accused of helping a Zumba instructor engage in prostitution.
The defense followed with a motion Monday to dismiss 12 of 13 counts against Mark Strong Sr. that relate to the promotion of prosecution.
The judge didn't immediately rule.
Prosecutors ended their case without calling any convicted johns to testify. The defense had stipulated that paid-sex acts took place.
Strong is accused of helping Alexis Wright use her Kennebunk fitness studio as a front for prostitution.
Strong acknowledged co-signing for Wright's lease but contends he didn't profit from her activities.
She'll be tried later.
Videos played for jurors indicate Strong discussed operational details with Wright and watched sex acts from his computer 100 miles away in Thomaston.

Can anyone tell me : in the original recipe it called for folding then setting aside for 15 minutes before forming a ball: are there really two steps? There were not in the video? How does one form a good ball?
This is the recipe that Jim Lahey gave on Martha Stewart and there is another video on her site of the process.
No-Knead Bread
Makes one 1 1/2-pound loaf
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, plus more for work surface
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Olive oil, as needed
Cornmeal or wheat bran, as needed (optional)
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add 1 1/2 cups water, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Coat a second large bowl with olive oil. Transfer dough to oiled bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, but preferably up to 18, in a room about 70° in temperature. When surface is dotted with bubbles, dough is ready.
2. Lightly flour work surface. Place dough on work surface and sprinkle with more flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
3. Sprinkle just enough flour over work surface and your fingers to keep dough from sticking; quickly and gently shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton, non-terry cloth towel with flour, cornmeal, or wheat bran; place dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, cornmeal, or wheat bran. Cover with a second cotton, non-terry cloth towel and let rise until it has more than doubled in size and does not readily spring back when poked with a finger, about 2 hours.
4. After about 1 1/2 hours, preheat oven to 500°. Place a 6 to 8-quart heavy covered pot, such as cast iron or Pyrex, in oven as it heats. When dough has fully risen, carefully remove pot from oven. Remove top towel from dough and slide your hand under the bottom towel; turn dough over into pot, seam side up. Shake pan once or twice if dough looks unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking until browned, 15 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
