Investigators were turning their attention early Tuesday to the question of why Navy veteran Aaron Alexis killed 12 people at a Navy building in Washington Monday morning.
Alexis, 34, who was discharged from the Navy two years ago after serving hitches in Texas and Illinois, sprayed bullets from the fourth floor down to the cafeteria area in the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters in southeast Washington in an attack that began just after 8 a.m. Alexis died later as he traded shots with responding police, though it was not clear if he killed himself or was brought down by cops.
At a late night news conference Monday, Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said she was confident that Alexis was the "single and sole person responsible" despite earlier reports of a possible second shooter.
Washington Mayor Vincent Gray said that there was still no motive for the shootings and no indication of terrorism "although we haven't ruled that out."
As part of their investigation, the FBI set up a tipline at 800-CALLFBI (225-5324) for anyone who had any information about Alexis to call. Information can also be contributed to the investigation by clicking here.
Late Monday, police searched a Residence Inn hotel in Southwest Washington, where Alexis had been staying for at least two days prior to the shooting. It was reported that he had been staying with a group of five other civilian contractors, four of whom had been interviewed by police. The station also reported that Alexis' rental car had been found near the scene of the shooting and authorities were working on obtaining a search warrant for the vehicle.
In New York, the FBI interviewed Alexis's mother at her home in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
In Alexis's hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, those who knew, or claimed to know the gunman put forth their own theories. One told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Alexis was upset with the government because of a dispute over benefits. Another acquaintance told the Associated Press that Alexis would complain about being a victim of discrimination. That acquaintance, Oui Suthametewakul, said Alexis lived with him and his wife from August 2012 to May 2013 in Fort Worth, but that they had to part ways because he wasn't paying his bills.
Others expressed wonder that Alexis would be linked with such a crime at all.
"Oh boy, I can't believe this," Somsak Srisan, Alexis' former landlord, told the paper. "He was always very polite to me."
After leaving the naval reserves, Alexis worked as a waiter and delivery driver at the Happy Bowl Thai restaurant in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth. A convert to Buddhism who had visited Thailand in the past, Alexis was able to converse with Thai customers in their native language and made several friends in the local Thai community. Alexis' fellow congregants at a local Buddhist temple told the Associated Press that they understood that Alexis had taken a job as a contractor and would be leaving town for Virginia. They estimated that they had not seen him in five weeks.
Hewlett Packard issued a statement Monday night saying that at the time of the shootings, Alexis worked for The Experts, a subcontractor on an HP Enterprise Services contract to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet network. The FBI said he had legitimate access to the Navy Yard "as a result of his work as a contractor."
Gray said those killed ranged in age from 46 to 73. In addition, he said eight people were injured -- three by gunshots and the other five by non-shooting causes like stress and falls.
Late Monday night, D.C. police identified seven of the 12 victims: Michael Arnold, 59; Sylvia Frasier, 53; Kathy Gaarde, 62; John Roger Johnson, 73; Frank Kohler, 50; Kenneth Bernard Proctor, 46; and Vishnu Pandit, 61.
Two federal officials told the Associated Press that Alexis had an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and a handgun that he took from a police officer at the scene. The two officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a pending investigation.
Many who managed to escape in the early minutes of the episode recalled panic and fear after a routine Monday morning was shattered by gunfire.
"They sounded like 'pop, pop, pop,'" said Patricia Ward, a logistics management specialist who was in the cafeteria. "Everybody just panicked at first ... It was just people running, running, running.
"I just kept running," Ward said. "Our mission is to take care of the Navy ... After today, it's not secure enough for me."
Other witnesses told similar stories of gunshots and chaos.
"A little after 8, we heard a loud noise and didn't think anything of it," U.S. Navy Capt. Mark Vandroff told Fox News. "Someone with the presence of mind, and if I find out who it is, I'm going to thank them for it, closed our office doors.
"We got down on the floor as low as we could and barricaded ourselves in with tables and chairs," he added. Vandroff said he frantically texted co-workers to check on them until police led them out of the office around 10 a.m.
Throughout the morning and early afternoon, helicopters circled above the sprawling complex. People still trapped inside the building, where some 3,000 work every day, were told to "shelter in place," as helicopters dropped baskets to pick up the wounded.
Alexis, 34, of New York, was a Navy aviation electrician's mate, third class, who spent time in Texas and Illinois before leaving the Navy in early 2011. It was not clear why he left or if he was voluntarily discharged. A senior defense official told Fox News he had a "history of misconduct."
While stationed in Fort Worth, he was arrested on Sept. 4, 2010, after an upstairs neighbor reported that he had fired shots up into her apartment.The neighbor said Alexis had often angrily confronted her about making too much noise, and she told police he scared her.
"[The neighbor] told me that she is terrified of Aaron and feels that this was done intentionally," the arresting officer wrote on the police report.
In 2004 he was arrested in Seattle for shooting out the tires of a construction worker's car in an incident he later described as "an anger-fueled blackout."
He also told Seattle police he had witnessed the Sep. 11, 2001 terrorist attack and "how these events had disturbed him," according to a police report.
Alexis' father told police in 2004 his son had participated in rescue efforts during 9/11 and had suffered post traumatic stress disorder. This could not be independently confirmed.
A former neighbor of Alexis' family in Queens, N.Y. told Fox News, "I'm shocked and appalled. My heart goes out to those families. I guess you never know who lives next to you."
Lanier said the first call came in just after 8:15 a.m., and that officers were on the scene within minutes. She said one member of her department was shot after engaging with a shooter, who she said was killed. Lanier initially said there were "potentially two other shooters" at large, although one white male who was being sought was later cleared.
The incident paralyzed much of the city, with several nearby schools going on lockdown. The Washington Nationals, who play near the scene, postponed their night baseball game.
Lanier issued a "shelter in place" order for residents of the neighborhood around the Navy Yard for much of the day, finally lifting the order Monday night after stating that Alexis was the only shooter.
Rick Mason, a program management analyst who is a civilian with the U.S. Navy, said a gunman was shooting from a fourth floor overlook in the hallway outside his office. Mason said the gunman was aiming down at people in the building's cafeteria on the first floor, adding that he could hear the shots but could not see a gunman.
Shortly after the gunfire, Mason said overhead speakers told workers to seek shelter and later to head for the gates at the complex.
People who were inside the building said a gunman wordlessly sprayed bullets as terrified civilians and Navy members scattered.
"We saw him hold the rifle, and we saw him aim it in our direction," a witness told FoxNews.com.
Another witness told WJLA: "We were looking, but he was down the hall far enough that we couldn't see a face. But we saw him hold the rifle and then we saw him raise it and aim in our direction."
U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said two Navy employees and one Metro DC officer were brought to Medstar Washington Hospital Center, not with injuries considered life threatening.
Naval Sea Systems Command is the largest of the Navy's five system commands and accounts for a quarter of the Navy's entire budget. It builds, buys and maintains the Navy's ships and submarines and their combat systems.
White House officials, in a statement released shortly after the shooting, confirmed that President Obama had been briefed on the incident.
"The President directed his team to stay in touch with our federal partners, including the Navy and FBI, as well as the local officials," the statement read. "We urge citizens to listen to the authorities and follow directions from the first responders on site."
Obama later promised to make sure those responsible for the "cowardly act" are held accountable.
More than 20 members of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) responded to the scene, including the same Special Response Team that extracted the alleged Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev from the boat where he barricaded himself following the April 15 attack.
Although the motive was not yet known, the shooting brought to mind another mass shooting at a military base, on Nov. 5, 2009. That shooting, carried out by Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, an American-born Muslim who became a jihadist while in the military, left 13 dead and more than 30 injured. Hasan was convicted of multiple counts of murder on Aug.23 and sentenced to death by a military judge five days later.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ariana's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Winnipeg Jets! I live in Winnipeg, MB for the summer, so I'm a huge hockey fan, and I love that we finally have an NHL team back to cheer on!
What's your favorite movie quote?
"We accept the love we believe we deserve" I know, I know, a little bit dreary but it stuck with me. It's from Perks of Being A Wallflower.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Well... my brother used to play a decent bit of COD and all that, but I pretty much get intimidated just by watching the screen... So no, I definitely could not beat anyone at that... I'd be the one curled up in the corner just waiting for a killshot.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
None! No piercings (not even my ears) and no tattoos. If (and when) I make it to the Olympics, I'll get the Olympic rings tattooed on my back.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
The entire Justin Bieber acoustic album. #sorrybutimnotthatsorry
What's your best party trick?
I can curl my tongue a few different ways? Lol define party trick..
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"Are you from Tennessee? Cause you're the only ten-I-see.." Yeah. Not kidding. That actually happened.
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I'm a horseback riding coach and I always have been, since I was 15, so I can't really ever say I've hated any of my clients or my jobs! When you love what you do, it hardly feels like work-- that's my motto.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
Honestly... my sport is plenty dangerous enough! Other than that I get my adrenaline from zip lining and roller coasters (y)
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Sadly.. probably pizza or chicken fingers from somewhere. If it's fast food though, I have one rule: DESTROY THE EVIDENCE. The only thing worse than waking up with a nasty hangover is waking up with a hangover and seeing a living room full of fast food bags... and knowing you had a lot to do with it.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Jimmy Buffet's hot sauce from Margaritaville.. had to.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
Probably changing my clothes. At horse shows we all have to wear specific clothing to compete, so I'm usually so eager to get out of it afterwards and into something comfy that I'll just strip down in my horse's stall if no one's around!
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
A comfy v neck and some undies. I think pants are overrated. I wish it was more normal to walk around in undies and shirts!
Tell us a joke.
My best joke is my ability to RUIN punchlines and jokes. When I was like ten I used to think this one was hilarious.. : What do you do when a pig has a heart attack? You call the Hambulance... Ha...Ha... Ha.... see, told you I was bad.

A community meeting took place Monday evening, to talk about how to remember the death of Trayvon Martin in a respectful way. His memorial was taken down three weeks ago. Items like teddy bears and pictures were boxed up by the city and are being stored at the Sanford Museum. While some say, it's about time the memorial was cleaned up, others call it an insult.
"After Trayvon Martin was killed there were memorials put at the gate, they were there for several months and at my direction they were removed." City Manager Norton Bonaparte explained to residents, why he took down a memorial forTrayvon Martin outside The Retreat at Twin Lakes,"We were getting complaints."
"The city has not, as of today, answered any questions to my satisfaction." But Seminole County NAACP President Turner Clayton wants the memorial put back up,"We know there's a certain group in Sanford that don't want that memorial up because they lost their Chief here in the City of Sanford."
However, some in the crowd said, memorials shouldn't be place in an area where people don't want them, "I don't disagree that there needs to be a memorial. I try to understand for the people who live there, would I want to look at that everyday?" Another woman said, "I do believe after a certain time they need to come down. They need to go away. The stuff out there, they get rained on."
But Carolyn Sullivan says, she has been taking care of the memorial and plans to put more items up outside the subdivision. She has bigger plans to honor Trayvon Martin in another area, "Forget the memorial, we want a statute and we want it to say do not profile."
While some suggested one memorial to honor all those who have been killed, not everyone agreed, saying Trayvon Martin has made a difference in their lives, "I think it's important that Trayvon be singled out for a memorial, that doesn't mean there can't be another memorial for other victims of violence in this community." However Clayton says, "We want the memorial back up and in the near future we gonna do something else. But it should not be taken down and packed away."
The City Manger plans to look at guidelines in other cities regarding roadside memorials and will then make a recommendation to the council.

Holiday Shopping Tips for the Single Mom (or the mom on a budget).
You're probably asking yourself why I'm blogging about this in July. The answer is simple, if you are a single mom or a mom on a budget you should be Christmas shopping now. Starting early is one of the biggest keys to getting through the holidays without huge credit card bills.
- Pick up items throughout the year as they are on sale...even though stores will tell you they have huge sales right before Christmas you can often find the same deals at other times of the year.
- Subscribe to your favorite store's newsletter so you will get email alerts telling you what's on sale this week. Some stores offer text alerts now too for good deals.
- Check Craigslist and Ebay for big ticket items if they are gently used your kids won't know.
- Keep your eye out for manufacturer coupons on toys and clothes. You can often use these in conjunction with store coupons.
- Another great way to get a little extra cash is to sell stuff you don't use or need anymore. Your kids grow out of clothes so fast and they're just collecting in bins in your basement why not take them to a consignment shop or host a garage sale and make a little extra money to buy new items for Christmas?
- Do you shop at consignment stores or thrift stores? Why not? You can often find new or barely used items at a fraction of the cost you would buy them in a department store.

By Sruthi Ramakrishnan and Sriraj Kalluvila
(Reuters) - Supply chain management software maker E2open Inc
Chief Executive Mark Woodward said he expected E2open, which went public a year ago, to boost its sales in the 12 months to February 2015 after adding up to 20 new enterprise customers in the current fiscal year.
"We do $80 million (in revenue) this year and we grow 30 percent next year. That should get us there," Woodward said in an interview, referring to the $100-million revenue target.
E2open, which makes cloud-based software designed to assist companies in managing their supply chains, has more than doubled its annual revenue in the five years since Woodward took charge. Revenue in the fiscal year to February 28, 2013, was $75 million.
The company's shares have risen about 35 percent since they began trading on the Nasdaq on July 26 last year.
Three of the six analysts covering E2open have a "strong buy" rating on the stock. The other three rate it "buy", according to Thomson Reuters data. The company has a market capitalization of $460 million.
With a customer base that includes Coca-Cola Co
Last year, that customer was Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry
Woodward said he expected BlackBerry's contribution to E2open's revenue to fall to less than 3 percent in the current fiscal year from nearly 15 percent last year.
BlackBerry, which pioneered on-the-go email with its handsets and messaging systems, has slipped into tough times as it struggles to keep pace with nimbler rivals.
Woodward said BlackBerry's quarterly shipments of about 7 million units were between a quarter and a third of the volume contracted when it became a customer of E2open four years ago.
"Their usage of our systems, just because they are selling less handsets, has come down dramatically," said Woodward.
E2open has, on average, signed up 17 enterprise customers in each of the last two years. In total, it has 76 enterprise customers - those which buy E2open's software as well as pay for access to its network of suppliers and trading partners.
Computer maker Dell Inc
"The original deal that we signed with Dell was for $3.2 million for three years," he said. "The last bill we signed with Dell was for $3.2 million per year."
British mobile telephone company Vodafone Group Plc
Another customer, Seagate Technology LLC

Detroit could be broke in a week if a lawsuit challenging a consent agreement to fix the city's finances is not dropped. That's the bombshell Mayor Dave Bing dropped on Friday.
"We could eventually, in a short period of time, run out of cash," said Bing at a press conference.
Just when you thought the city's deal with the state to keep the lights on was a done deal, here is another legal loophole to tell you about. Depending on who you ask, it's a back and forth that's "hardball" says Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh.
"We're going to have to play and we're going to have to fight for what we feel is right."
He sees this as another snag that needs to play out, but the mayor sees this as more than just hardball.
"It is an emergency. It's a crisis. We've been in a crisis for a long time. This just ups the ante more than anything else, and I think from a leadership standpoint, it's incumbent upon us as leaders to deal with this expeditiously."
Work quickly to reverse what's been done. A lawsuit, and here's where that stems from. The city appointed Krystal Crittendon as Detroit's head lawyer or corporation council. She says the city cannot enter into the financial stability agreement the council narrowly approved in April. The reason? She says the State of Michigan owes Detroit hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue sharing and millions more in parking tickets and other debts, so Crittendon filed a lawsuit against the state. The state, in turn, says they may have to hold back on the $80-million that was agreed on to pay out to the city.
The mayor says his hands are tied. He alone can't do anything but try to convince Crittendon to change her mind and drop the suit.
And so the city says they'll run out of cash soon.
Municipal attorney Patrick McCalley told us the state will have to show that the financial stability agreement is what's best for the city.
"They may also have the option of saying this lawsuit has, in essence, created a default by the city under the financial stability agreement such that the state now has other remedies, including seeking a receiver and the appointment of an emergency financial manager. So, that could be the state's counter to the lawsuit right now."
And so we see the corporation council has a lot more power than you may have thought. The revised charter gives her the power to challenge the consent agreement even if the mayor isn't on board.
What's the next move for the mayor and for this deal?
The mayor had planned to meet with city council on Friday morning, but because they didn't post the meeting in the 24 hours notice that they should have given, they have rescheduled it for Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. Also, an Ingham County judge is holding a hearing on this entire case on Wednesday. He'll have to weigh in on the validity of this lawsuit.

When I was in high school, my classmates and I would dream about what cars we would buy when we "grow up." It filled many of our lunch time conversations, in the cafeteria, during the late 90's. These conversations were of genuine enjoyment as many of us drove very modest vehicles at the time. Modest is putting it lightly too. One of my friends had a Chevy Citation. I rest my case.
And by "grow up" we meant become instantly and fabulously wealthy, without working a ton and with plenty of time to drive said vehicles around.
Sometimes, my friends would pick something wild and fancy like a Porsche, Lamborghini or Maserati. Yet, even on those days, they would somehow find their senses and go with their #1 pick. A BMW. In particular, the M3. And as we would chow down on our sloppy joes, it was here; at this point in the conversation, where we would find our major point of contention. My friends insisted on the German engineered M3 and I wanted the American iron.
I have lost touch with those old friends of mine . . . I suppose that happens over the years. They used to joke with me and say: "your Mustang will be no match for us in the BMW!" One of my friends was even kind enough to offer: "don't worry, Carl, I will give you a ride when you need."
If only they could see the video below. It's not a clear win for the Mustang . . . and in many ways, that's okay. What it shows is why cars are so important to our life and culture to begin with. All car fantasies are created equal . . . and sometimes, so is the actual car itself.
These two iconic rides go back and forth . . . the lead changes hands. Back and forth. Back and forth. And in the end? Well, that's the real beauty.

Base Acre Decisions Are Key to New Farm Bill
Mon Sep 8, 2014 09:54 AM CDT
An update from a farm-bill conference in Kansas City last week: Farmers and landlords likely are still going through decisions on base acres. One word of advice from an economist to farmers: Base-acre reallocation and yield update decisions reside with the landowner. If you haven't heard from your landlords on base-acre decisions, you should give them a call. Your landlords might not have any idea what exactly those letters from the Farmer Service Agency were about. You may need to walk them through some of those decisions if you haven't already.

Police say a man wearing a bright blonde wig robbed a bank and then escaped on a bicycle in DeKalb County on Friday.Authorities say the armed man walked into the Bank of America on Panola Road and demanded cash. "Threw a bag inside and told her to fill the bag up with money and told us to get on the ground so I knelt behind the counter," said Nicholas Jordan, who was in the bank at the time of the robbery.Jordan said that man had attracted attention even before he pulled a gun."I noticed him right away because when I walked, I saw him sitting there. He had on the wig and he just kind of looked like a transsexual. He had a big scar on his face. That was actually the most notable thing," Jordan.After getting some cash, the man left the bank on a bicycle. "Took the bag and walked calmly out. The security guard held the door for him. His bike was leaned on the window here. Jumped on his bike and pedaled off," said Jordan.As he was being pursued by a security guard, the man ditched the bike behind a shopping center and fled on foot.No injuries were reported.Police and K-9 units searched the area but could not find the suspect. Investigators said they have good leads and hope that surveillance footage will yield more clues.

The 24th annual Steamboat Weather Summit is off to a great start with wonderful people and excellent guest speakers.
This morning's session began with Ed Delgado. Ed is the National Program Manager for Predictive Services, a decision support unit for the federal land management agencies' fire and aviation program.
The big topic of his discussion was how bad this past years wildfire season was and what was the main cause. The number of wildfires were staggering. 67,265 fires burned across the United States torching 9,221,639 acres.
Ed firmly believes that the drought and lack of snowfall last winter were the big keys. Another huge factor was the bark beetle's migration so far north, almost to the Canadian border.
The bark beetle used to live mainly in the southwest part of the United States, but because winters are not as cold as they used to be, the bark beetle has been able to migrate north through the Rockies. The bark beetle basically kills the pine trees by burrowing into the bark and blocks nutrients from getting through the trees. And when trees die, the dry out creating perfect fuel for wildfires and thus increasing the risk for more wildfires.
Even though this seasons snowpack is very healthy out west, it doesn't mean that wildfire season will be a quiet one. If the snowpack melt rate is too fast in the early Spring, then forests will dry out very quickly leading to an increased potential for wildfires.The snow melt must be a slow process to keep the risk low.
The burning question that we had to Ed was, "Is fire season getting longer"? The answer is yes. Fire season is starting earlier and ending later. Ed believes that climate change and global warming are just a couple of the many factors of a growing fire season. The same, he believes, is why more hurricanes and tropical storms are forming earlier than the normal start date of hurricane season and later in the season just like Sandy.
This upcoming fire season is expected to be near normal for most of the country, but if the snowpack melts too fast, then this season could be just as bad.

Mission: Successful!
Today I decided to ride my 'new' bike (got on craigslist) to work. I was worried about leaving at the right time but it only took me about 15 minutes to get to work. Not too shabby!
According to My Fitness Pal my 2.5 mile bike ride to work burned 102 calories.
Now when I ride my bike home that's another 102 calories. That's 204 calories a day and I'm having fun doing it. (Well kind of) Much better than 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Now my goal is to ride my bike at least 2x a week in spring/summer. It's a great extra workout without cutting in my day too much.
You give it a try! :)
Hey, I'm also save gas $$$!!
PS- Here is a site all about Biking to Work

Rigoletto - Synopsis
Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave after Victor Hugo's Le Roi s'amuse
Rigoletto is the jester at the court of the Duke of Mantua. His speciality is making jokes at the cost of those who have been hurt by the the Duke. The Duke has a reputation as an insatiable lady-killer who seduces the daughters and wives of his subjects.
Rigoletto keeps his service at court completely separate from his private life. Nobody knows that he has an adult daughter whom he keeps hidden from society in the care of Giovanna. Gilda, for her part, knows nothing about what her father does outside their own four walls. Rigoletto's only concern is that he should not lose Gilda, the apple of his eye.
Act One
The Duke is celebrating, a festivity devoted solely to his pleasure. He goes into raptures about an unknown girl whom he has been chasing for the last three months and whom he finally plans to conquer. For the time being, however, it is the Countess Ceprano to whom he is attracted. He pays court to her in front of her husband. The jealous Count Ceprano immediately becomes the object of Rigoletto's scorn. Someone comes in with an amusing piece of news: it is rumoured that Rigoletto has a young mistress whom he keeps hidden. When Rigoletto provocatively advises the Duke to have Count Ceprano executed so that he can amuse himself with his wife without being disturbed, he does not only cause laughter. Count Ceprano finds plenty of support for his plan to have his revenge on the shameless jester.
The festivities are interrupted by an uninvited guest: Count Monterone accuses the Duke of raping his daughter. Rigoletto pitylessly makes him the victim of his jokes, upon which the injured father curses the Duke and Rigoletto.
On his way to his daughter Rigoletto is haunted by the curse, he cannot get it out of his mind. Sparafucile, a professional assassin, emerges out of the darkness and offers him his services. Rigoletto feels an affinity with this new acquaintance. It becomes clear to him just how much he hates his job and the Duke's court.
Gilda tries to find out what is worrying her father, but Rigoletto evades her questions about his name and her origins. When she wants to talk to him about her mother,
Rigoletto bursts into tears. Gilda has to comfort her father in his misery. Before he leaves again he impresses upon her that she must not leave the house except to go to church.
Gilda is left with a bad conscience: she has not told her father that a young man regularly follows her to church. Giovanna puts her mind at rest. When Gilda admits that she is attracted to the unknown stranger, Giovanna promptly allows him into the house. The Duke bombards Gilda with passionate declarations of love. When she asks him who he is, he tells her he is a poor student. The happiness of the young couple is disturbed by voices in the street: the mob has gathered around Ceprano to kidnap Rigoletto's supposed mistress. Gilda is afraid that her father will return. She urges the Duke to flee. Gilda is left with a fictitious name which awakens all her longings.
Rigoletto returns unexpectedly. The men in front of his house profess that they want to abduct Countess Ceprano and invite him to join them in their plan. Rigoletto agrees and accepts the strange conditions: which means that, with his eyes bound, he assists in the kidnapping of his own daughter. When he finds himself alone in the empty house he realizes that Monterone's curse has been fulfilled in the most catastrophic way.
Act Two
The Duke is disconsolate when he learns that Gilda has been kidnapped. He feels that through her he has become capable of true love. The kidnappers proudly tell him about the trick they have played on Rigoletto. The Duke realizes that they have actually brought the girl within his reach. He rushes to Gilda to prove his love for her.
Rigoletto tries to find out something from the palace about what has happened to his daughter. Only with great difficulry can he hide his panic from the kidnappers. When he suspects that Gilda is with the Duke he almost breaks down the door to the latter's chamber.
Gilda faces her father, full of shame. She wants to tell him face to face what has happened. As far as Rigoletto is concerned it does not need many words to make it obvious that his daughter's honour has been lost. He swears he will take bitter revenge on the Duke. He does not listen to Gilda's begging him to forgive the Duke.
Act Three
Gilda cannot forget the Duke. In order to convince her of the Duke's unfaithfulness, Rigoletto arranges for his daughter to secretly witness the Duke making advances to another woman. In an inn of dubious repute the Duke seeks his pleasure with Maddalena, Sparafucile's sister. Gilda is forced to listen to the Duke whispering the same sweet words to Maddalena he had once used only for her ears.
Rigoletto sends Gilda away. She is to leave the town disguised as a man. He commissions Sparafucile to murder Maddalena's client and pays him a deposit. He wants to have the corpse in his hands by midnight. A storm is brewing and Sparafucile offers his victim a room for the night.
Contrary to her father's wishes, Gilda returns. She eavesdrops on Sparafucile and Maddalena and thus learns that her beloved is to be murdered. Maddalena tries to talk her brother out of the murder. Sparafucile does not want to lose the money. He is prepared to make a deceitful compromise: if a stranger turns up before midnight he will kill him instead of the Duke. Gilda decides to sacrifice herself for the Duke.
The murderer hands over the murdered man to Rigoletto on his return and receives his money. Rigoletto is rejoicing about the corpse when he hears the Duke in the distance singing his sarcastic little song about women's disloyalty. Horrified, Rigoletto takes a closer look at the body and recognises his daughter. Gilda opens her eyes once again: she begs him to forgive the Duke and promises to pray for her father in heaven, at her mother's side. Rigoletto begs his daughter not to leave him alone. In his despair he blames Monterone's curse for Gilda's death.

I'm so happy to be showing you my latest Moda Bake Shop Project, Chain of Faith. If you are looking for a quilt pattern that looks complicated but is actually not, Chain of Faith might be just the quilt for you! If you haven't seen or touched the fabric yet, you are going to want to. This fabric feels like it's already been loved. It's so soft and cuddly. If you want to see more behind the scenes information about the quilt make sure to stop over to my blog, Jo's Country Junction.
3.5 Yards of Red Collections for a Cause-Faith 4609016 for cornerstones, border and binding
6 yards of Collections for a Cause-Faith 4609123 backing fabric
There isn't room for error when cutting the jelly rolls. You may want to purchase an extra 1/4 yard of fabric...just in case.
From the red cut: 41 - 2.5" strips
Set 8 aside for borders
Set 8 aside for binding
Sub cut 32 - 11" pieces
Sub cut 219 - 2.5" pieces
From Jelly Rolls (I set the solid red, brown and cream pieces aside)
From 11 strips sub cut 32 - 11" pieces
From 29 strips sub cut 144 - 8.5" pieces
From 22 strips sub cut 128 - 6.5" pieces
From 15 strips sub cut 128 - 4.5" pieces
You will need to use leftover pieces from previous strips to complete the number of strips needed.
Sew a 6.5" piece to the main block.
The next step is to take four of your smaller blocks, four 8.5" sashing strips, and a red cornerstone and sew them into a block as shown. Be careful to sew them together so that the small red squares form an "X". Also be careful to sew them together so that the vertical stripes of the block are across from each other.
Sew a red cornerstone between two sashing pieces as shown. Make 20 all together.
It is really easy to turn the blocks in the wrong direction. Look at the photo closely and see how the blocks are still forming an "X" and the vertical strips in the block are still vertical. Make a total of four rows.
Connect them as shown. Make a total of five sashing strips.
Take your border strips and sew them together. Attach to your quilt and your quilt top is finished.

ShackCon 2.0: A gathering of like-minded 'idiots'
A person coming in off the Las Vegas strip into room 1419 at the Platinum Hotel would probably see just a party, with people chatting in one corner about important topics of the day, another corner watching the television intently, while yet another group sat at a table playing a party game. Upon closer inspection, however, they would find that this was not your average social gathering. This was ShackCon 2.0.
The real topics of the day were Diablo III's end-game and how the next generation of consoles would compete with each other. The group at the television? They were playing Spelunky on XBLA, Soul Calibur V or Street Fight x Tekken. And the party game isn't something you'd normally play with the wife and friends at a wine & cheese party. These were strategy board games with such titles as Dungeon Lords, Alien Frontiers and Cosmic Encounter. Twenty-nine people from around the United States (and at least one from Canada) crammed into a two-bedroom suite to celebrate games and the Shacknews community that has been growing for more than a decade.
The get-together was spearheaded by Lauren "laurgasms" Kates, a Shacker for about 10 years. The core group of Shackers used to congregate at QuakeCon or through regional Shackmeets to talk about games and socialize, but Kates said that by 2010, she felt it was time the group had an event of its own. And the plans for the first ShackCon began to form.
Last year's event in Vegas brought 55 people for games and socializing at different venues in the city. It was more of a structured event, Kates said, with much of the time planned out with specific events during the four-day informal convention. Not long after that event ended, Kates (and a few other dedicated Shackers such as Travis "H@rvester" Booth and Brandon "BlackCat9" Rotkel) began planning this year's shindig.
"I'm a masochist," Kates said of her desire to plan an event such as this. "It's the only chance I have to hang out with these idiots."
ShackCon posts in Chatty began roughly four months before the event. People who attended last year's gathering were anxious to return, but in the final tally, the turnout was about half that of last year. Kates was not deterred. "Nerds can only get vacations away from their families once every two years," she said. It made this year a bit more informal, but no less fun.
Among the activities planned over the five-day Con--besides the games and socializing--were buffet lunches at a couple of the more upscale hotel venues, an outing to the Tuscany Hotel to learn to play craps, a trip to the Pinball Hall of Fame and a night out at the Cirque du Soleil production Ka at the MGM Grand.
Stephen "Haxim" Elaschuk came down from Edmonton, Alberta, to hang out with the friends he has made on Shacknews Chatty since he joined the group in 2008. "You get to know each other through the posts made and it's a great chance to hang out with like-minded people in person."
And while everyone may be friends, the competition can be intense. I had the pleasure of sitting in with Ulreh "deathlove" Vogt, Phil "hawkeye" Kates (laurgasms' husband), and Haxim in a strategy game of Alien Frontiers. I had never played before, but the explanation of the game as "Yahtzee in Space" made it easy to grasp. As I pulled ahead in the late game, the three friends had no qualms about ganging up on the new guy to keep me in line. I won, but not without withstanding some good-natured ribbing about noob luck.
At the TV, Thom "ThomW" Wetzel and Matt "askedrelic" Behrens, friends from opposite ends of the country, paired up on XBLA to tackle the recently released Spelunky, while Kates and Patrick "jimmy_legs" O'Shea worked some kitchen magic to create hors d'oeuvres for the hungry crew gathering for the Friday evening party.
Tony "at0micgarden" Capecci, a Shacker since 1999, explained his infatuation with ShackCon simply: "derp, derp, derp," a meme the Chatty crew has used to describe something stupid. And to keep with the inside jokes of the evening, an occasional call of "Free Haxim" would rise above the din, with raucous laughter following immediately after. Haxim was banned for a month by the mods for some overzealous trolling, an event even he laughs at, reflecting the good-natured, yet occasionally contentious, camaraderie of the Chatty group.
So in the end, what is it that drew them all here?
"Having spent so much time with these people, I love them," said Andrew "Omnova" Schenck, who has been a regular since 2003. "You don't build relationships like this every day. It's a great way to continue the friendships. None of that would be possible without Shack."
It's a sentiment that carried through from long-term Shackers such as CJ "hirez" Miller, who has been a regular since the days when Shacknews was Steve Gibson's Quakeholio in 1997, to the newer members such as Robert "Gaplant" Scott, who has been a lurker since 2010.
"Shackers have been more of my best friends than some of my best friends in real life," said Dustin "Clasifyd" Leen, who came from Palm Bay, Florida. "On our deepest level, we are all exactly alike."
