Sweet gray jersey dress made from Butterick 5418
Gray Cotton Jersey

Your looks great! I just made one from the same pattern, and I found that if you wear the straps wider (more like cap sleeves) then it helps a bit with the sagging- that and stay tape so there's something solid holding up all that fabric- but mine still tries to sag a bit. What did you do to get the front part to stay up so well?
Jul 29, 2010, 02.16 AMby harmony758
I tried to stitch-in-the-ditch in addition to the directions. But frankly…I think it just photographs well :-) It does stay up MUCH better in the front than the back, but I haven't figured out why yet. If I ever try to make another one, maybe I can test out some theories.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this dress and the pattern number. I've been wanting to make a top with this sort of gathering in the front. LOVE THIS!!!

I agree this is so lovely. I have a bunch of light jersey that I need a pattern for. The gathering is so flattering on you and looks like a versatile dress you can dress up or down. Lovely.

Really pretty.

Ooo I've been looking for a pattern exactly like this. Was it hard to make?
Jun 10, 2010, 01.47 AMby harmony758
Making the pleats and such wasn't too hard, but the fabric is heavy and can't support itself. So it pulls down & you can see the facing in the front & back (if you look at the pic of the back that I posted, you may be able to see what I mean). I like it enough that I'm sure I'll wear it all summer, but I wish I could fix that!

Governor tells agencies to be ready for big cuts
Wyoming Governor Matt Mead says all state agencies should be prepared to cut budgets by eight percent next year. Falling natural gas prices are to blame. Wyoming House Appropriations Chairman Rosie Berger said it's due to Wyoming having a minerals based economy. When natural gas prices drop, the state loses millions. Berger said the good news is that agency heads have awhile to prepare.
"I think they were relieved to have a year's time to analyze their budget to take charge of their agency and look at where they could make responsible reductions and still operate with efficiency's that are needed for the public."
The Governor is also putting a cap on hiring and is warning agencies to be prepared for more cuts in the future. He said the cuts would equal $74-point-five million dollars. The legislature had already asked state agencies to prepare for cuts between four and eight percent. Berger said a warm winter and spring have dropped prices further than anyone expected.
"I don't think anyone anticipated the gas prices to go this low, but you know that is why we were adamant about not doing salary increases because of the anticipation that something could go awry."
Berger said agency heads have been preparing for potential cuts, so they should have thoughtful recommendations on how to more efficiently provide state services.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Ian Dipple Friday 31 January 2014 Updated: 31/01 10:02
A CONSERVATIVE county councillor has been challenged to meet struggling families in Redditch after claiming there is no poverty crisis within Worcestershire despite a surge in demand for emergency food.
Coun John Campion, responsible for transformation and commissioning on Worcestershire County Council, made the comments during a debate on what support the authority could give to the growing number of food banks across the county and those who rely on them.
The idea was put forward by the Labour group who suggested the council should investigate the need to provide advice and a co-ordinated response to what they called 'this growing crisis of poverty'.
But although the idea to investigate ways the council could help was approved Coun Campion said: "I don't agree there is a crisis within this county of poverty.
"We are seeing the economy growing, we are seeing more people in work and we are seeing the economy recover - those are the facts."
He later repeated his comments during a spat with Redditch county councillor Joe Baker on social network site Twitter.
Coun Campion wrote: "Socialists in Worcestershire talk about a poverty crisis in the county? Where is the evidence to back it up?"
He later added: "Poverty is every modern economy .... Where is the crisis? I agree anyone in poverty is one too many, but it isn't a crisis."
Coun Baker told the Standard Coun Campion needed to 'step out of his glass bubble'.
"I want him to come and walk with me around my wards and meet some of the families that are struggling and explain to them there's no crisis."
Redditch Food Bank was founded in September last year as churches and charities previously feeding those going hungry were unable to cope after demand soared by 297 per cent.
So far 422 adults and 145 children have been given 6.4 tons of food by the food bank and it is expected current demand will continue meaning around 1,500 people will need the service over the next 12 months.
Of those who accessed the food bank 96 people did so because of benefit changes, 136 because of benefit delays and 175 because of low income.
Rev Robin Baker, chairman of Redditch Food Bank, said: "It would seem apparent to anyone who sees these figures Redditch certainly does have a food bank crisis.
"I would encourage John Campion to look at the accurately recorded Redditch figures and the national figures for himself and would welcome the opportunity to meet with him and his colleagues to discuss this further."

About Hyderabad
Also dubbed as the City of Pearls and Cyberabad, Hyderabad is a major tourist destination in India. It is the capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh in India and is also the biggest city of the state. Set up in 1591, the city is one of the major metropolitan cities of the country. The city is famous for its IT industry, biopharmaceutical sector, and the Telugu film industry.
The history of Hyderabad goes back to the period when Quli Qutub Shah seized power from the Bahamani Kingdom in 1512 and established the city of Golconda and the Qutub Shahi dynasty. However, lack of water supplies and frequent epidemics like plague and cholera forced Mohammed, the fifth Quli Qutub Shahi to found a new city and thus Hyderabad was founded. Asaf Jah-I proclaimed himself the Nizam and established independent rule of the Deccan as the Mughal Empire started to crumble. In 1798, under the subsidiary alliance agreement signed between the Nizam and the British East India Company, the territory north of the present-day Hussain Sagar lake was established as a cantonment. It came to be known as Secunderabad. Successive Nizams of the Asaf Jah dynasty ruled it until the state was merged into the Indian Union in 1948.
Located at an altitude of 536 metres or 1,607 feet over sea surface, the mean summer temperature in Hyderabad fluctuates between a maximum of 40 degrees celsius and a minimum temperature of around 22 degrees celcius. Winter temperatures range between a maximum of around 22 degree celcius and a minimum of around 12 degrees celcius. You may need to wear light woolens during early mornings and late evenings.It forms a part of the Deccan Plateau. Banjara Hills is the tallest point in the city. The city of Hyderabad is famous for its distinct landscape and houses a number of lakes including Hussain Sagar, Himayat Sagar, Osman Sagar, Shamirpet Lake, and Saroornagar Lake. The principal river passing through the city is the Musi river which has its source at the Anantagiri Hills. The city has a mostly warm and arid climate round the year.
Area of Hyderabad
The city covers a total area of 650 sq km or 250 sq miles.

PARIS (AP) -- Paris Saint-Germain has strongly condemned a group of supporters who disrupted a morning training session on Thursday and abused a journalist filming the scene.
French reports said about 50 thugs overwhelmed security and tried to invade the training ground, spitting at a cameraman from L'Equipe TV, before police restored order.
PSG said in a statement Thursday that it "strongly condemns an attempt at forceful intrusion at the training ground by individuals claiming to be PSG supporters."
The club said it will continue "all of its efforts to fight against violence."
PSG long harbored a violent hooligan element among its fans from 1985-2010 until fan groups were disbanded and heavy restrictions were implemented on fans traveling away to games.

Release Date: 2012 |
Having read through it some more it is a bit sloppy in some places but I felt this needed a review and there was only so much to say about a band that sounds exactly like another one. Constructive criticism is appreciated

Thanks for the feedback fellas. And yeah but his cleans really threw me for a loop on this album. At some points he sounds so strained and it doesn't sound good.

But yeah "Amend" and "Absolve" were my favorite tracks

Day three, who do you like?
Day three, we've got 7 picks
Round 4(9)
Round 5(8)
Round 5(19)
Round 6(7)
Round 6(35) Compensatory
Round 7(12)
Round 7(33) Compensatory
I don't know a whole lot of players left, but some that I do want:
CB Chimdi Chekwa, CB OSU
6'0" 190lbs
40 yard: 4.4
Vertical: 34.5"
Broad: 126"
CBS sports has him rated as the 65th best prospect, 8th best corner
Projected as a third rounder, would be a good fourth round pick for us.
Read & React: Reads the quarterback's eyes and reacts quickly to the ball in the air. Often involved in plays after coming off his man because he's looking into the backfield, but will also get beat when falling for pump fakes and double moves because of his aggressiveness.
Man Coverage: Has quick feet and fluid hips to stay with most receivers throughout most routes. Smooth, quick pedal when not in press-bail, patient waiting for his man to make the first move off the line. Maintains contact down the sideline, but needs to find the ball in the air more consistently. Needs to know where his help comes from on a given play -- gets in trouble playing inside position and getting beat outside. Will give up strength to many NFL receivers, who will shield him with their bodies on slant patterns and go through him on jump balls (though his vertical gives him a chance to break up those passes). Plays well off the line and in press-bail. Will mix it up just inside the five-yard mark, but does not usually get his hands on his man at the line of scrimmage, backpedaling or bailing per the team's scheme.
Zone Coverage: Could excel as a zone corner because of his toughness, change-of-direction ability and quickness to the ball. Reads routes and the eyes of the quarterback and comes off his man to pick up the underneath out route and makes a play on the ball. Able to bring down receivers quickly after the catch. Transitions well from his low, quick pedal to plant and drive. Able to knock away passes in front of the receiver or as the ball is caught because of his length and closing speed. He must prove discipline to stay in his zone until the ball is away, or quarterbacks and receivers will take advantage of the vacated area.
Closing/Recovery: Excellent closing speed to make tackles or get to the receiver while the ball is in the air. Plants and drives quickly after recognizing stop or slant routes when playing off of a receiver. Reaches in front of receivers to knock away passes without interfering, though he will commit penalties when not looking for the ball. Recovers well if receiver gets inside position downfield, using his speed to get back to the play, but is at times a step late to get back to deep balls if biting on double move. Lacks the natural hands for interceptions.
Run Support: Should be capable of chopping down running backs at the next level, but won't be a superstar in this part of his game. Gives good effort to shed receiver's blocks but is more effective using his speed and instincts to beat them. Comes on run blitzes off the edge; forces plays inside but needs to work on defeating fullback blocks with his hands to be a factor against the run.
Tackling: Is not a physically imposing cornerback, with thin legs and arms, but has the length and tenacity to wrap and drag down most receivers after the catch. Effective cut tackler against the run when he keeps his head up; will escort backs out of bounds. Puts a shoulder into receivers after the catch if playing off. Can be easily eluded in space after trying to break down; looks a bit clumsy at times approaching ballcarriers in the open field. Lack of strength and bulk might cause him issues bringing down larger NFL receivers on the outside.
Intangibles: Tough corner with the confidence to come back and make a good play after giving up a touchdown. Missed start with a left shoulder injury in October 2008 but still played in the game. Missed most of the 2011 Sugar Bowl with a broken right wrist.
Re: Day three, who do you like?
5 guys I mention in the 'will we draft a DT' thread.
Sam Acho - Undersized DE with pass rushing ability
Ahmad Black - Undersized safety, not a tonne of speed, great football player
Korey Lindsey - Playmaking corner from Southern Illinois, like the sounds of this kid
Jaquizz Rogers & Noel Devine - 2 for 1 combo, would love picking up one of these guys with a fifth or sixth. 3rd down backs/change of pace/kick return/ punt return guys. I see value with these cats.
Sam Acho is now gone..
I'll throw in one more.
Kevin Burnley - undersized (common point here) CB from UNC. If you trust Mayock, which i do, a solid nickel corner for years to come.

Re: Day three, who do you like?
I'd like to see WR Tandon Doss as well, from Indiana
6'2" 201lbs
40 yard: 4.51
Projected as a second or third rounder
Doss is a nice combination of size and speed. Displays elite ball skills. Catches away from his frame and adjusts to the poorly thrown ball. Doesn't lose speed in and out of breaks, sets up defenders, and gets open against zone. Has the burst and top-end speed to get vertical and make plays after the catch. Goes over the middle.
Not too many holes in this guy's game. Could do a better job high-pointing the football in jump ball situations. Does not have elite top-end speed or agility but as stated is still a playmaker. Willing and aggressive while run blocking but fundamentals need some work.

McCain Will Not Take Away My Right To Choose
by MissVA, Sun Jun 01, 2008 at 02:13:13 AM EDT
The words of John McCain, Feb. 18, 2007, Spartanburg, S.C.
"I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned," the Arizona senator told about 800 people in South Carolina, one of the early voting states.
McCain also vowed that if elected, he would appoint judges who "strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench."
John McCain will not make that decision for me.
I support Barack Obama.

ASSE Announces Winners of 100th Anniversary Essay Contests
In honor of the American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) 100th anniversary celebration, written and video essay contests were held for the first time this year. Written contest entrants were asked to describe the greatest challenge facing the safety, health and environmental (SH&E) profession in the 21st Century, while video contest entrants were asked to show why the world needs more SH&E professionals. Joann Robertson, CSP, ARM, CPCU, received the top prize in the written essay contest, while Kelly O'Malley, Aaron Padoshek and student member Julia Lippert took top honors in the video essay contests.
An ASSE member for more than 20 years, Joann Robertson, CSP, ARM, CPCU, supervisor of risk management services for Wright Risk Management in Uniondale, NY, won top honors in the written essay contest for her entry, titled, "Two Paper Cups With a String." Her essay identifies communication as the biggest challenge facing SH&E professionals in the workplace. Robertson is a member of ASSE's Long Island Chapter and is a frequent contributor to Perspectives, the newsletter of the Public Sector Practice Specialty.
In her award-winning essay, Robertson wrote, "To me, the biggest challenge is obvious. It revolves around the issue that safety professionals do not communicate clearly and allow confusion and crossed wires to occur. We over-rely on technology and need to refocus on improving our communication skills in order to strengthen our relationships to better relate to, and protect, clients, coworkers and colleagues." To read a copy of the winning essay, please visit http://www.asse100.org/docs/essay_Robertson.pdf.
For the video essay portion of the contest, winners were selected from both the judge's choice and fan choice categories. ASSE members Kelly O'Malley and Aaron Padoshek, both of InjuryFree in Woodinville, WA, won in the judge's choice category for their video, titled, "Where Would We Be Without Safety Professionals?" O'Malley has a B.S. in Allied Health from Winona State University. For more than 12 years, O'Malley's focus has been increasing worker safety and decreasing workplace risk. An incident in early 2011 resulted in her temporary dependence on the use of a wheelchair and made injury prevention a more personal cause, reinforcing her determination to promote workplace safety. Padoshek has an A.A.S. from ITT Technical Institute and is the designer and creative director at InjuryFree.
O'Malley and Padoshek commented, "The ASSE safety video was a project near and dear to our hearts. We wanted to stress how safety affects everyone and how fortunate workers are to have safety professionals who are dedicated to ensuring they make it home to their families each and every night."

The fan favorite video, titled, "Try EH&S Instead," was submitted by Julia Lippert, Treasurer of ASSE's University of Illinois Chicago Student Section. The video was developed by Lippert and fellow student section members to demonstrate the importance of safety and health in the workplace. Lippert stated, "We had a lot of fun making the video. We came up with the idea of a parody of the 5-hour energy drink commercials for our video because we were all drawn to safety and health, in part, because of the exciting variety of work available to us that would be different from the cubicle setting."

We took this cruise May 25th and sailed 7 days We also took the land cruise afterwards. I enjoyed the land cruise more than the cruise so it was well worth the money. We had room D204 it had a fantastic balcony. There was laundry facilities on the same level, very convenient and easy to use. I really thought that the excursions were overpriced in Ketchican and Juneau. I think you could probably do a lot more on your own for the same or less $.The glacier viewing was fantastic from our own balcony. In Whittier we caught the train. Awesome!
The food on the ship was good,. comparable to other cruises that we have been on. I wasn't any more impressed with Princess. I did, however, love that land cruise. The train was incredible. The coaches that they bussed us on was nice also. They never left lost our luggage and it was always there waiting for us. Alaska is a trip of a lifetime. The weather was perfect .In Denali, the National Park is nice, after the tour, we caught a bus and went back to visit the Visitors Center. They don't stop on the regular tour for you. We got to see all of Mt. McKinley. I think the McKinley lodge is a money maker for them. There is no place to go, but to a town about an hour away and they charge $10.00 per person to bus you there.
So you have to buy your meals at the lodge and you are there for quite a while. I wished the time in Denali was longer and the time at the McKinley lodge was shorter. The drive to Anchorage is interesting too. Anchorage is very large and is packed with most of the businesses that you find back home. Captain Cook Hotel is very nice also. All in all, we would do it again. Do the land tour after the cruise.

(September 25, 2009 - MINSK, Belarus) – Karen Routhier of Quebec City and Eric Saucke-Lacelle of Sherbrooke, Que., are in second place after Friday's original dance while Liam Firus of North Vancouver stands third in men's singles after the short program at the fourth stop on the ISU junior Grand Prix figure skating circuit.
In ice dancing, Ksenia Monko and Kirill Khaliavin of Russia lead after Friday's original dance at 88.39 points. Routhier and Saucke-Lacelle follow at 78.26 and Rachel Tibbetts and Collin Tibbetts of the U.S., are third at 77.83. Routhier and Saucke-Lacelle took silver art the season opening event last month in Budapest.
Nicole Orford of Burnaby, B.C., and Malcom Rohon-O'Hallaron of Victoria, in their international debut, are 10th.
In men's singles, Firus made a sparkling debut on the circuit posting the third best score in the short program. He opened with a self-described best-ever triple toe-triple toe combination, landed a solid double Axel and impressed the judges with his footwork and spins. The 17-year-old was 10th at last year's Canadian junior championships.
"The big thing I've improved over the summer is the consistency in my jumps," said Firus, 17. "And all the basic stuff like my speed are all much better. I was pretty nervous heading to the rink this morning but the butterflies dissipated once I started. In the end, I wasn't really nervous at all."
The only final on Friday was in women's singles. Polina Shelepen of Russia won the gold medal, Yuki Nishino of Japan was second and Ksenia Marakova of Russia third.
Alexandra Najarro of Richmond Hill, Ont., delivered the sixth best long program to climb from 16th to 10th overall.
In pairs, the three Canadian teams are in the top-10 after Thursday's short program. Maddison Bird of Barrie, Ont., and Raymond Schultz of Toronto are sixth, Kaleigh Hole of Virden, Man., and Adam Johnson of Chatham, Ont., are seventh and Kristen Tikel of Kitchener, Ont., and Ian Beharry of Guelph, Ont., are ninth.
The finals in men's singles, pairs and ice dancing are all on Saturday.

ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Labor announced today that the preliminary unemployment rate in Northwest Georgia rose to 9.8 percent in January, up three-tenths of a percentage point from a revised 9.5 percent in December.

The preliminary unemployment rate in metro Dalton rose to 12.7 percent in January, up four-tenths of a percentage point from a revised 12.3 percent in December. The jobless rate in metro Dalton in January a year ago was 13.6 percent. Metro Athens had the lowest area rate at 7.1 percent, while metro Dalton had the highest at 12.7 percent. Meanwhile, Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined for the sixth month in a row to 9.2 percent in January, the lowest rate since March of 2009 when it was 9.1 percent. That is a decline of two-tenths of a percentage point from a revised 9.4 percent in December. The jobless rate was 10.1 percent in January a year ago.

DERRY— At least one man was taken to the hospital after being hit by a car on East Broadway near MaryAnn's Diner yesterday morning.
The man was with two children around 9:30 a.m., according to police Capt. Vern Thomas. He said he didn't know where the man was when he was struck, nor whether anyone else was hit.
An officer at the scene said "a few people" were transported to the hospital. Thomas said he didn't have a full report as of yesterday afternoon and could offer very few details.
Thomas did not identify the driver of the car that struck the man, nor identify what kind of vehicle it was.
A woman was seen crying and being consoled shortly after the crash. She said she didn't want to talk about the crash yesterday.
A waitress from MaryAnn's brought a chair out and the woman sat on the sidewalk there while police investigated.
Thomas said he didn't know whether the driver would be charged, but he would have more information today.

The NFL may be a passing league, with quarterbacks dominating fantasy leagues the way top running backs used to, but making sure your team has quality rushers is still key, and finding the Nos. 2-4 backs can sometimes be a crapshoot.
It's difficult to handicap backup running backs on every team because of a few reasons. For one thing, many teams have as true a split backfield as you can get (i.e., the Panthers with Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Wiliams) and some teams still are trying to work out their RB groups (it's anyone's guess how carries will be divvied up in San Francisco between Brandon Jacobs, Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James behind Frank Gore).
For the purposes here, the focus is on true No. 2 backs, players that appear most likely to get the second-most carries for their respective clubs but potentially enough to be worthy of a spot in fantasy-football starting lineups. These are the type of backs I look for in fantasy drafts — backs that are clearly No. 2 in the sense that they are the backup, and there is not a third back owners have to worry about. The preseason is key for fantasy owners to see how teams use their reserve backs.
Here's a look at three No. 2 backs worthy of starting spots in your fantasy lineups:
Bills RB C.J. Spiller — Head coach Chan Gailey has made it clear there will be a work-share in the backfield, but Fred Jackson is still expected to get the lion's share of touches because of his abilities as a blocker and receiver. On the subject of the workload for the Bills' backs, Gailey told the club's website: "I can promise you this, we will not make everybody happy. That will not happen this year. The only thing that will make everybody happy is winning. That's what the goal is, to come up with plans that incorporate everybody's abilities that allow us to win. Other than that I can't predict what's going to happen as far as percentages for their touches."
Spiller proved himself last year down the stretch, and the Bills will continue to find ways to put the ball in his hands, as a receiver and a runner. Without many weapons at pass catcher outside Stevie Johnson, Spiller could still see plenty of offensive snaps, just in different spots. Spiller had only 21 carries through 10 games last season, but that won't be the case at the start of 2012, even if he assumes the back seat to Jackson. It also wouldn't be a surprise if Spiller started to see more carries late in the season.
Jaguars RB Rashad Jennings — Jennings showed his big-play abilities in 2010, averaging 5.5 yards a carry and showing value as a receiver as well. He missed all of 2011 with a knee injury, but there is no question in Jacksonville that he is healed and ready to go this summer. Jennings has no competition for his No. 2 role behind Maurice Jones-Drew and could see more work in training camp if MJD holds out.
The two knocks on Jennings are his inexperience (he only had 84 carries in '10) and that he sits behind one of the league's few workhorse backs, who happened to win the rushing title last season. If there's a year to expect better things from Jennings, though, it will be 2012. Assuming Jacksonville's offense improves, Jennings will be one of the beneficiaries, and he's worthy of a flex spot on fantasy teams.
Texans RB Ben Tate — Tate came on strong in 2011 after missing his entire rookie season in '10. He rushed for 942 yards and gained 5.4 yards per carry. He is big, yet explosive, and totaled four 100-yard rushing games. The hard thing for fantasy owners to decide with Tate is how many touches will he get behind Arian Foster. Foster is the dual-threat back and PFW's top-ranked fantasy running back. He had 278 carries last season, and that was while missing three games. Foster is also much more of a receiving threat than Tate.
From Weeks 12 through 16, Tate had a total of 37 carries and zero touchdowns. He didn't show week-in, week-out consistency last season, but Tate is good enough to warrant a spot in a starting lineup in that explosive offense. Foster may be a No. 1 pick in some leagues, but he has an injury history, which could increase Tate's value.

Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, who has been out since August 27 with an irregular heartbeat, has been taking medication and could be close to returning. Barry M. Bloom:
"I've just been trying to stay in shape and stay sharp. I'm feeling great," Jansen said prior to Wednesday night's game against the D-backs at Chase Field. "Those days that I missed I don't feel like I've got to get back into it. I feel ready. I could go out and pitch today if they needed me. But I can't. I've got to get off the blood thinner first. That's how good I feel."
Bloom reports that Jansen will be off the blood thinner Monday, and could be cleared to be return the next day. There's one worry, though:
Club physicians are concerned that Jansen would be subjected to excessive bleeding if he receives a wound while pitching. That could be dangerous.
As long as he avoids that, he should be fine. The Dodgers could use him in the tight race for the N.L.'s second wild card. Jansen will have a heart procedure in the offseason to try to correct the irregular heartbeat.

One of the women killed in the grocery store shooting in Elkhart late Wednesday night had connections to the Evansville area.
Indiana State Police says the victims of the shooting have been identified as 20-year-old Krystle Dikes, of Elkhart and 44-year-old Rachelle Godfread, who is believed to have connections to the Evansville area.
Joseph Godfread, a North High School graduate and Rachelle's son, posted this on his Facebook page Thursday afternoon:
ISP says just after 10:00 p.m. Wednesday, Elkhart Police received a 911 phone call of a gunman in the Martins Super Market located at 3900 East Bristol St. on the northeast side of the city.
The first two officers on the scene arrived within three minutes confronting the armed man, 22-year-old Shawn W. Bair, of Elkhart, shooting and killing him.
ISP says Bair was armed with a .40 caliber semi automatic handgun and a large hunting knife.
Officers on the scene soon discovered the two women that had been shot and killed by the armed Bair.
ISP says Krystle was an employee at the store and believe she was the first one to be shot.
Troopers believe Rachelle was shopping in the store at the time of the shooting.
Authorities say right now they are attempting to determine a motive for the shooting.

DETROIT, Mich. – The Mariners produced 15 hits for a second consecutive night as they defeated the Detroit Tigers 9-1 Wednesday night.
For the second straight night the Mariners got on the board in the opening inning on a hit by Jesus Montero. Dustin Ackley took over the leadoff spot for Chone Figgins, who had the night off, and started the game off with a single. After a Brendan Ryan foul out, Ichiro Suzuki singled up the middle. Justin Smoak then moved Ackley over to third with a fly out to right. Montero then plopped a two-out single in short right field to score Ackley.
Felix Hernandez struggled in the bottom of the first as he gave up a leadoff walk to Austin Jackson, who then moved over to second on a Brennan Boesch ground out. Miguel Cabrera got a hold of a pitch, but it lost its juice and was caught at the warning track by Casper Wells. Jackson moved over to third on a passed ball, and Hernandez found himself in trouble walking two straight batters to load the bases up with two outs. Alex Avila worked into a full count and hit a grounder that was bobbled by Ackley, but he recovered in time to make the throw and get Hernandez out of the jam.
Seattle kept their bats going in the second as they loaded the bases to start the inning on singles by Miguel Olivo and Michael Saunders and a Wells walk. Starter Adam Wilk took a seat early as he was relieved by Thad Weber. Ackley then brought Olivo and Saunders home with a single, advancing Wells to third. Ryan extended the M's lead to four with a sacrifice fly.
The bats continued to stay hot in the third as Alex Liddi hit a home run for a second consecutive night, this one also scoring Montero who had reached on an infield single.
Boesch canceled any implications of a shutout by Hernandez as he led off the bottom of the third with a homer.
In the fifth, Wells hit the ball just out of reach of Miguel Cabrera, ricocheting off his glove and rolling into the foul area allowing him to coast into second. Ackley followed that up with a deep ball to left, this one out of reach of outfielder Don Kelly. Wells scored to put the Mariners up 7-1.
Ichiro led the sixth off with a double, his third hit of the night. After a Smoak walk, Montero brought Ichiro in with a single, that also his third hit. Liddi singled through the shortstop gap to load the bases with nobody out, making Detroit change pitchers. Olivo flew out to right, but Smoak held up at third as the ball wasn't deep enough. Saunders walked to bring in Smoak but that was all for that inning as Wells popped out to second and Ackley flew out to center to end the inning and the Mariners were ahead 9-1.
The Mariners offense was not only productive; it was also consistent as they scored runs in five different innings. Six of the nine leadoff batters for the M's in each inning managed to get on base. Ackley, Ichiro, and Montero each had three hit nights. Every batter in the lineup got on base at some point in the game as well.
Aside from the solo home run by Boesch, King Felix was stellar on the night pitching seven innings and giving up four hits and allowing that one run with two strikeouts.
Detroit Starter Wilk was only able to record six outs as he allowed six runs on eight hits before they brought in Weber.
After coming into the series on a four-game losing streak, the Mariners will now look to complete a sweep of the Tigers tomorrow at 10:05 a.m. PDT.

The Daily Scope
You could feel a little left out today, Aries. Either your friends are busy with other plans or you don't have the necessary funds to join them. Though it's upsetting, don't take this to heart. Soon your financial picture will improve, and in the meantime be creative about finding ways to socialize that won't hamper your handbag!
Your superiors could have some good things to say about your hard work and creativity. Enjoy the moment of success and absorb the compliments. See this as a motivation to carry you on to the next task. You're doing a great job so far.
You're being too hard on yourself, Gemini. You're holding on to past mistakes and realizing you could have done a better job. Sure, some things slipped through the cracks. But it's best to figure out what they were and press ahead. Attention to the small details will guarantee success in the future.
You're able to see the problems thoroughly and communicate the solutions with flowing clarity. Become the beacon of light today for someone else, and use your innate empathy to soothe their sadness. You can find meaningful ways to turn the situation into a positive one; go with what your heart tells you. Everything else will take care of itself.
Your brief burst of success is starting to fade today, Leo. The problem is that you were exclusively focused on the short term, and your project needed a more long-term commitment. For the future, envision your entire idea coming into fruition. And take your time.
You feel relief today as someone gets to the core of the issue and digs you out of your confusion. Expect a deep emotional healing to occur. You are able to freely express your heart; this release gives you closure. In your ability to be present, you also free yourself to move on.
Today, you might want to cancel all of your plans and hide. You're confused, and more interactions with people only bring further distress. Don't take on everything that occurs in your life as your responsibility. This will only make you want to be more isolated. Fix the real problem instead of hiding from it.
You're just not ready yet to take the full leap, Scorpio. You're still trying to figure out details—whatever it is, it's probably outside your normal comfort zone. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's not good for you. Tell yourself that you can do this. Try new things.
You put in a good effort today, Sag. You feel as though you can accomplish anything. Take this confidence and run with it. If you want to branch out into something a little more out of the box, do it! Your belief in yourself puts the power into what you're doing.
Your friends are a bad influence on you today, Capricorn. They're daring you to play hooky. But this is not such a terrible thing. Their enthusiasm inspires you to try new and exciting things. Your office will be there tomorrow, so go on. Why not enjoy this day of adventure?
Something is keeping you up at night, Aquarius. It could be that you're too hard on yourself. Not only are you criticizing your every move, you feel shame and guilt for performing the action in the first place. You're not superhuman, Aquarius, so understand your limits. Today, work on remembering that everyone makes mistakes.
Your optimism is dwindling and you're having a hard time finding the strength to carry on. Stop taking to heart what other people are saying. You're overthinking it, and it's having a negative impact on your self-esteem. There is nothing to fear.

At 6 a.m. workers are inspecting shipments of gleaming ice-packed fish atIMP Foods, a company in San Mateo, California, that suppliessushi-grade specimens to Japanese restaurants and a coterie of some ofthe most famous—and famously picky—American chefs. Harold McGee is inhis element. "Look at that, with that schnoz, and a whip comingout of its tail," he says, stooping over what turns out to be acornetfish, a long, bony creature with a fluted tube for a snout, astrange rear end, and an altogether alarming red color. "In Japan we call it aka-yagara, which means 'red arrow,'" says Glenn Sakata, IMP's general manager. "It makes wonderful broth."
A golden threadfin bream, itoyoriin Japanese, also catches McGee's eye. Favored for sashimi, it's quitelovely, with silver skin, luminous yellow stripes, a tail that blushesdeep pink. Sakata mentions in passing that both fish are bought by theFrench Laundry, Thomas Keller's four-star temple to cuisine in Napa Valley. The sea bream shimmers with freshness in its box of shaved ice. McGee, who is wearing a regulation-issue hairnet, bows over it and draws a deep, appreciative breath.
McGee is the author of On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen,a doorstop of a book that first appeared in 1984 and became an instantclassic. Tall, bearded, and unapologetically bookish, he's America's premier food wonk. He likes nothing better than surfing journals the likes of Cereal Chemistry, Poultry Science, and The Bulletin of the Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries.In fact, he's made a career of turning huge amounts of arcane foodscience, centuries of history and culture, and wonderfully oddball,just-for-the-heck-of-it facts into a good read for curious cooks andeaters. Somehow he seems uniquely up to the task. How many people havestudied both physics and English literature at Caltech, earning ahybrid bachelor of science degree in literature? McGee has become thego-to guy for such questions as: How much oil can mayonnaise absorb?Why do red beans cause gas? How do you deal with an overdose of wasabi?When it came to fish, though, the original On Food and Cooking had little to say. Back then, meat research meant red meat. Fish barely got a mention.
Twentyyears later, "there's been an explosion of information on the subject,"McGee says. Fishing has become "a more important and visible industry."Fish stocks worldwide are under pressure as never before, "so nationalgovernments put more resources into research because of problems withsustainability and developing aquaculture." Seafood consumption,meanwhile, is rising, driven in part by health concerns and America's love affair with sushi. Sales of sushi in the United States have been booming, says Sakata. Now we're buying tuna rolls in supermarkets.
So McGee's new On Food and Cooking, 10 years in the making and almost twice the heft of the original, now includes an entire section on fish.
Fish,especially ocean fish, as McGee points out in his new book, live in avery different world from ours and that of the other animals we eat.The rules are different from those for cattle, pigs, and chickens. Tounderstand the character of fish as food—what makes it taste and smellthe way it does, why you like it, and why you sometimes don't—you mustbear in mind the adaptations fish have made to life in water. Also,judging from McGee's example, you have to follow your schnoz.
Asyou step through the door into the cool sanctuary of IMP's fish market,there's a slight briny edge to the air that instantly recalls theseaside. "Seacoast smell," announces McGee. It's the smell ofbromophenols synthesized by algae from the bromine in seawater. Incoastal areas, these bromophenols are propelled into the air by theaction of waves. "Think of waves dashed on rocks," says McGee. Oceanfish accumulate the phenols in their tissues by eating algae or otheralgae eaters. A nice fresh fish is never smelly or "fishy," says McGee.But its bromophenols can magically conjure up sea air.
Heruns his hands over the skin of an iced locally caught king salmon thatwill be dinner tonight for family and friends in nearby Palo Alto.Wild salmon has an aroma all its own that appears to arise from aparticular diet, notes McGee. He rubs his hands together to warm themand develop the traces of scent he has picked up from the fish, thencups his hands around his nose: "Unmistakably salmony." The scent isbelieved to be partly due to their fats and partly to the pinkastaxanthins salmon acquire from eating crustaceans, which in turncreate them from the beta-carotene they've obtained from algae. Whenthe fish is cooked, astaxanthins give rise to fruity, floral tastes.
Ifa fish is spanking fresh, you can sometimes catch a surprisinglyplantlike aroma, says McGee, continuing the tutorial. Fish, especiallycold-water fish, have oily, unsaturated fats that remain fluid at lowtemperatures. Their fats are more like the polyunsaturated oils ofplants than the fats of other animals. What's more, fish skin, likeplant leaves, contains lipoxygenases—and these enzymes break down thelong unsaturated fatty molecules of fish into many of the same smallaromatic fragments found in plants. In Japana legendary freshwater fish named ayu, or sweetfish, a native ofmountain streams, is said to have melon and cucumber aromas. "Do youhave ayu?" asks McGee, hopefully. (Ayu rhymes with "yahoo.") IMP Foods supplies the little fish to Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, among other restaurants. But after checking, Sakata is sorry to say the market is all out.
Fleetingsea and plant aromas are delightful signs of freshness in a fish. Butafter a fish is caught and killed, other aromas develop. All meats, ofcourse, are perishable, but in fish the process occurs faster—largelybecause fish are designed for temperatures lower than those on dryland. Their unsaturated fats, an asset in cold ocean water, become aliability in our environment: They are easily oxidized—broken down byoxygen into fragments that smell and taste stale. Their cold-adaptedenzymes rev up in our warmer air. Even the bacteria normally clingingto their surfaces grow faster. Much of this enzymatic and bacterialactivity has odiferous consequences. If a fish is not properly chilled,kept on ice like the fish at IMP, it's going to smell bad.
Theprincipal smell contributing to "fishiness," says McGee, is a compoundcalled trimethylamine, or TMA. It is derived from trimethylamine oxide,or TMAO, which is not in itself objectionable. TMAO is one of severalamines and amino acids that ocean creatures accumulate inside theircells to buffer them against a fatal influx of sea salt. (Seawater is 3percent salt; the optimal level of dissolved minerals in animal cellsis about1 percent.) Some amino acids—sweet glycine and savory glutamate—turnout to be big contributors to seafood's delicious repertoire offlavors. Not TMAO, though. The chemical is tasteless but is theprecursor of that unappetizing smell. Once a fish is dead, TMAO isgradually converted to TMA by bacteria proliferating on the surfaces ofthe fish. (Freshwater fish like ayu live in an environment less saltythan the inside of their cells, so they don't accumulate amino acidsand amines. Their flesh is mild tasting and slower to turn smelly.)
Luckily,"fishiness" in an ocean fish past its prime can be reduced in thekitchen. A thorough rinsing in cold water helps minimize odors."Oxidized fats, bacteria, and TMA on the surface can be rinsed off withtap water," says McGee. "And acidic ingredients—lemon juice, vinegar,tomatoes—help in two ways." They encourage stale-smelling fragments toreact with water and become less volatile, and they induce TMA to bondwith water and other molecules so they never escape the fish's surfaceto assault your senses. As for truly spoiled fish, let's just say thatby the time proteins are being broken down into skatole, putrescine,cadaverine, and hydrogen sulfide, you probably won't want that fish inyour mouth.
Refrigerationretards spoiling, but it can't stop decay. That's especially true fordeep-sea fish with cold-adapted physiologies. "Enzymes and bacteriatypical of our warm-blooded meat animals normally work at 100 degreesFahrenheit and slow to a crawl in a refrigerator at 40°F. But the samerefrigerator feels perfectly balmy to deepwater fish enzymes andbacteria," McGee writes in his new book. The key, then, to keeping fishas fresh as possible is ice. "Fish lasts nearly twice as long in a 32°Fslush as it does at typical refrigerator temperatures," says McGee, whorecommends flaked or finely chopped ice because it makes better contactwith contours than large cubes or slabs.
AtIMP Foods, ice is everywhere. As fish get moved, unpacked, checked, andrepackaged, ice is involved every step of the way. You see ice and youhear ice—the crash of ice chips dumped on metal surfaces, the sloshingof slush, the soft noises made by shaved ice getting shoved around.
We end the morning in the fish market's kitchen, where it's warm. Sakata has good news. He has located an ayu.
The fish, though flown in from Japan,is still so firm, clear-eyed, and gleaming fresh, it appears lacquered."It looks just caught," says McGee. "Its mucus layer is completelyintact. Let's see if I can get the gills to open up a little bit," hesays, gently lifting the gill flap. "The gills are often the first partof a fish to go. Their red turns brown with oxidation. And since gillsare full of bacteria, because that's where the water is filtered, theycan generate unpleasant aromas. So let's take a sniff."
He puts his nose to the gills, which are a healthy bright red.
"Ah, I think I smell the melon!" he exclaims. "Can you smell it? I've been reading about this fish for years, in the abstract, because I've never seen it in a market," he says in a rush. "In Japan,they've analyzed the aroma, because that's what people say they valuemost about this fish, and they've found some of its compounds are exactly the compounds you find in melons and cucumbers."
"He knows more about this fish than me," Sakata says.
"That'swhat's so cool," says McGee. "Once somebody points out to you that thisfish smells like watermelon, all of a sudden there's another dimensionto the experience of eating it."
Whichwe do then and there—the fish is simply sprinkled with sea salt andgrilled whole. Glenn Sakata splits the fish open like a book, and we goat its mild, surprisingly soft white flesh with chopsticks, enjoyingevery last sweet morsel. Ayu, the sweetfish. "Who could ask foranything more?" says Harold McGee.
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
An excerpt from the newly revised book by Harold McGee
Copyright 1984, 2004.
To be published by Scribner, a division of Simon & Schuster.
Peoplein many parts of the world enjoy eating ocean fish and shellfish raw.Unlike meats, fish have the advantage of relatively tender muscle and anaturally savory taste, and are easier and more interesting to eat raw.They offer the experience of a kind of primal freshness. The cook maysimply provide a few accompanying ingredients with complementaryflavors and textures, or firm the fish's texture by means of lightacidification (ceviche), salting (poke), or both (anchovies brieflycured in salt and lemon juice). And raw preparations don't require theuse of fuel, which is often scarce on islands and coastlines.
Probably the commonest form of raw fish is sushi, whose popularity spread remarkably in the late 20th century from its home in Japan. The original sushi seems to have been the fermented preparation narezushi; sushi means"salted" and now applies more to the flavored rice, not the fish. (Thefamiliar bite-sized morsels of raw fish and lightly salted andacidified rice are nigiri sushi, meaning "grasped" or "squeezed," sincethe rice portion is usually molded by hand. The mass-produced versionof sushi found in supermarkets is formed by industrial robots.)
Many cultures from the Arcticto the tropics have recruited microbes to grow on fish and transformtheir texture and flavor. But the world center of fish fermentation iseastern Asia, where it has served two important purposes: to preserveand put to use the large numbers of small fish that inhabit the coastaland inland waters; and to provide a concentrated source ofappetite-stimulating flavors—above all the savory monosodium glutamateand other amino acids—for a diet dominated by bland rice.
Fish fermentation apparently arose several thousand years ago in the freshwaters of southwest China and the Mekong Riverregion. It then spread to the coastal deltas and was applied to oceanfish. Two broadly different techniques evolved: simply salting a massof small fish or fish parts and allowing it to ferment; and saltinglarger fish lightly, then embedding them in a fermenting mass of riceor other grains, vegetables, or fruits. In the simple fermentation, theproportion of salt is usually enough by itself to preserve the fishfrom spoilage, and bacteria are important mainly as flavor modifiers.But in the mixed fermentation, a smaller dose of salt preserves thefish for just a few weeks while the plant-based ingredients feed thesame microbes that sour milk or turn grape juice into wine. The fish isthen preserved by the microbes' acids or alcohol, and flavored by themany byproducts of their growth.
Ofthe many Asian fermentations that mix fish and grains, one of the mostinfluential has been the Japanese narezushi, the original form ofmodern sushi. The best-known version is funa-zushi, made with rice andgoldfish carp (Carassius auratus) from Lake Biwa, north of Kyoto.Various bacteria consume the rice carbohydrates and produce a range oforganic acids that protect against spoilage, soften the head andbackbone, and contribute to the characteristic tart and rich flavor,which has vinegary, buttery, and cheesy notes. In modern sushi, madewith pristinely fresh raw fish, the tartness of narezushi survivesthrough the addition of vinegar to the rice.

Building Heights in the Nation's Capital
For the past century the federal Height Act has been the subject of perpetual debate in the nation's capital. Since its inception 100 years ago on June 1, 1910 the Act has limited the height of buildings throughout Washington.
While many people enjoy the scale of the city, its views, light, and openness, others believe that the Act restricts economic development and that it limits opportunities for creating and maintaining sustainable communities. Is either side of the debate right?
"It is hard to believe that for 100 years you have had a clear and distinct height policy – in fact a very simple height limit – and it has fundamentally shaped your city. I've heard this was originally about safety but I think we all see that it is first and foremost about symbolism. Your achievement at the symbolic level is profound," Mr. Beasley told the audience.
Mr. Beasley shared several of his observations from Vancouver. First, that the economic performance of any one project is not affected in a meaningful way by the manipulation of heights. Land values simply adjust he said. Also, you can accomplish transit-oriented clustering of development in both a high scale and a lower scale format with equal success. "Height changes, unless they are dramatic, are not going to make too much of a difference in the economic performance of Washington," said Mr. Beasley. "Your city's very uniqueness makes it inherently more valuable than other places."
Mr. Beasley urged Washingtonians to hold their ground and keep height limits intact, particularly within the areas of the monumental core. Any change in height in the core would be a sacrilege he said.
"Not only does the height limit allow the capital's national symbols to stand out and prevail, but it so vividly sets the city apart from all others," proclaimed Mr. Beasley. "Does anyone want tall buildings to go up just anywhere? I do not think Washington wants to find itself in the confusing situation of Buenos Aires. Don't think that in some way you are going to open up a magic bullet for green construction or better architecture. Perhaps you gain a bit of economic opportunity for an individual, but you might lose the experiential qualities for many others.

VK: No. I don't think Pete beats himself up. I think Pete thinks that he should be praised. I think Pete thinks he does a great job all the time — and is shocked that he's not made like the President of the company and that people don't like carry him around on a chair everywhere he goes. But Pete sees his life, and he says, "I have nothing. I haven't gotten what I deserve. Everything in my life is not as good as it should be." Whereas I look at life, and I say, "Hey, I've gotten a lot more than I deserve. And my life is way better than it should be." [Laughs.]
Will Pete Campbell ever find a sense of happiness or fulfillment? Or will he always be searching for something more?
VK: We had a line this season where Don Draper says, "You know what happiness is? It's that moment right before you want more happiness." And that's what "Mad Men" is about. "Mad Men" is not a story about like, you know, everyone getting married, and then all of a sudden all their dreams come true. It's a real life story about what it means to be a man of ambition and ego and flaws in that decade. Those men aren't happy.
Happiness for them is not a destination. It's not even a journey. It's an impossibility. Like so many people in life, it's insatiable — you know, this quest for happiness, this quest for success, this quest for respect. So if they were to be all of a sudden given that, I don't know how the show would continue to make sense.
Tell me about your stage roots. You got your start performing at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis as a kid. When was the last time you were on stage?
VK: Theatre is where I began acting when I was 6 years old. I did lots and lots of plays both at the Guthrie and the Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis. So I developed my acting skills at both of those places. Then I started in TV and film, and I kind of left theatre behind for a little bit, because I wanted to go and get a foothold in the industry — in television and film. Right now I've had theatre on the back-burner for a while. But it's something I've always enjoyed doing and I've always loved. So it's always a joy when I get the opportunity to do it. I did a play in my mid-20s in New York City, another new play, another very difficult play to interpret. It was at the Cherry Lane Theatre. That was the last time I was on stage doing a play. So I very much look forward to getting this one up in front of people and starting to get some feedback.
VK: I don't know if I should tell you. [Laughs a little.] The play was called Slag Heap [2005]. I don't think it's ever been done again since then.
How was the experience for you on that play? Was it a good one or leave something to be desired?
VK: The experience was absolutely wonderful. I really enjoyed the director we worked with, and I loved the other actors. But we didn't really sell any tickets. [Laughs.] When there's more actors on stage than in the audience, that can really be a hard thing to swallow.
What's the adjustment been like transitioning back onto the stage after years of doing series television like "Mad Men" and "Angel" and film work like "Rango" and "Another Day in Paradise"? The process and mechanics can be very different.
VK: For me the biggest change between television and film and theatre is the length of rehearsal and the way you approach rehearsal. That's really the biggest difference. In TV and film, you almost have no rehearsal at all. You just show up, you show 'em what you're doing, you take some notes, you do it again, and then you move on to the next scene. The great thing about doing theatre is that you get this opportunity to really work it out — to really explore new things, go home, sleep on it, come back the next day and say, "I have this new idea." Try that out. Realize it's shit. Go back to the old idea. Come up with a new idea. Do that all over again. That's something that you don't really get in doing film and TV work. In film, usually you're like driving home and you get a great idea, and you're like, "Oh shit, I should have done that!" But you don't get the opportunity to do it again. It's already been filmed, and it's going to be there forever. And your great idea is just a thought in your head. It can never be tried.
You've said that you're something of an adrenaline junkie. Is that one of the major attractions of doing theatre for you — satisfying that craving for an adrenaline rush?
VK: It does give me that punch of adrenaline that I need. When you're on stage, it's this do or die thing. You're out on a limb, and in that moment feel so alive. But for me, doing this play is about challenging myself as an actor—spreading my wings and trying to reach different boundaries of my own abilities—and hopefully fail pretty epically.
So you're not afraid of failure?
VK: I embrace it. I mean, I'm terrified of it — absolutely. But that's what makes it worth doing. Any actor, any person who is involved in the creation of something regardless of what it is, will tell you that it's only through failure that any sort of real growth happens.
