There is one draw back to motorsports in general, and that's the amount of time on the road. NASCAR travels on a weekly basis from late February to late November. Others have a shorter schedule, but it still means time away from home and living out of a motorcoach or semi.
Fans pay a lot of money to go to see their heroes compete, sometimes only going one weekend out of the year, while the crews, drivers and sometimes owners are on the road on averae four days of the week. There's little interaction with the fans, at least when the teams are "on the clock" and fan interaction is such a big part of motorsports.
What if a team actually wants it's fans to visit them, at their headquarters, and make it a free experience?
Team Bigfoot is making that a reality for the sixth straight year.
Since 2008, the "Original Monster Truck" team has been holding a special Open House event at their home headquarters in Hazelwood, Missouri. It has turned into a major attraction for Bigfoot and monster truck fans in general. Such an event is not new to Bigfoot, but it is one that took a hiatus for many years.
In 1984, Bigfoot 4x4 held it's first "Open House" when it's shop in Hazelwood first opened, and on that day it was the first time the public got a glimpse of Bigfoot #4, which has since become one of the most intrumental monster trucks in history.
When the Open House returned in 2008, the Bigfoot fans and 4x4 fans in general got a unique opportunity to instead visit the team at it's home, rather than the team come to them.
This year is looking to be another major celebration for the Bigfoot team, and it's not just going to be about monster trucks. The Land of the Giants Truck Club will be bringing some of their custom 4x4 machines to display at the event as well as the Bommarito Automotive Group having a new car showcase in the lot of the team facility.
But for the monster truck fans, it's all about the Bigfoot truck, and there is going to be a mass of trucks on display and in action.
Two separate car crushes will take place at 12 Noon and 3 p.m. For those wanting to get an autograph, there will be sessions after each car crush. The gift shop will also be open with unique merchandise available to purchase as well as a look inside the actual shop where the trucks are serviced and built.
Each hour there will be door prizes up for grabs, and there will be no need to go hungry as Monte's Barbeque will be providing the food.
As for the Team Bigfoot trucks at the event, it's almost a full-field event. The original truck, Bigfoot #1, and the infamous Bigfoot #5, carrying the 10-foot tall tires, are always a big attraction, and will be displayed as always for the Open House.
The original tube-frame truck, Bigfoot #8, will also be in attendance, carrying the new "Firestone Destination Summer" paint scheme. The team's other display truck, Bigfoot #12, will also be in attendance, likely carrying the Summit Racing colors.
As for the race trucks, it will be both old and new being shown off. The first Bigfoot truck with a rear-engine setup, Bigfoot #10, will carry the Odyssey Batteries colors, and also at the event is the radical, all-new Bigfoot #18, complete with a new E3 Spark Plugs paint scheme.
But, this is also a weekend for a debut. According to the Bigfoot website, it is the debut of the new Bigfoot #19, which is the truck that is a partnership between Bigfoot, NASCAR driver Robby Gordon, and Speed Energy. The chassis is something Bigfoot has never used before, a CRD laser-cut setup, and Gordon will be the one behind the wheel of the all-new beast.
As to which truck is going to be participating in the car crush, that is unknown at the moment. But, for anyone wanting to visit an infamous location in the monster truck industry, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
The 2012 edition of the Bigfoot Open House will be on Saturday, June 30, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. It's a completely free event, so bring your camera for images of one of the most anticipated Bigfoot events of the year.
For more information on the Open House, visit Bigfoot4x4.com and also check out both their Facebook and Twitter pages for exclusive photos leading up to the event.

What a joy to find this book online after these 30 years have passed. I had a large Sesame Street book library when my son was a preschooler. This was his favorite and was read practically every night. First by me, then because of the pictures describing the action, by him. He learned to recognize letters and written words through the pictures in this book. It's was an easy, end of the day lesson which boosted his confidence and taught him associations. I look forward to reading these same books with my grands.

The food was amazing, the service very good. This place actually has a decent beer selection as well as the obligatory wine cellar.
3 Days in Vancouver
Guide to Vancouver Outdoors
Vancouver Off the Beaten Path
The food was just OK, nothing special, I could have made it at home. Expensive and mediocre. Not much in the way of atmosphere either.
Very popular local restaurant in this part of town. Got the last table for 2. Nice rolls to start while we checked the menu. My wife had Roasted Pork Tenderloin which was perfect. I had the duck confit cassoulet - also perfect. Small to average helpings but just what we wanted. Price was surprisingly economic. We enjoyed a shared desert...
This was my first time having brunch at Le Parisien and I was really impressed by the quality. I had the duck eggs Benedict and they were amazing. I will go back for brunch many more times.
Tripadvisees, you may read reviews of the Cafe de Paris, Bistro de Paris, and Le Parisien. They're all the same place, probably different management eras, but thankfully as the name changes the important part of the experience remains the same. This is about as French Bistro as you can get in Vancouver. Enjoy.
The food we had was excellent I had the pork special it was nice the wine reduction and finger potatoes nice. The muscle happy is a good size with a nice sauce to deep bread into . The service was spot on and try the madelines
Always wanted to go and enjoy the authentic French bistro experience. Disappointed on entrance at tired, very un-French decor and lack-lustre greeting. Lack-luster ambience - no catchy French accordion music, red gingham curtains, paintings of Paris on the walls etc. And gangway to kitchens and back door open and draughty without privy curtain. Thankfully, menu is authentic and includes French...
The service was charming, the beet salad delicious. But the entrees took forever (and there were no orders ahead of ours). When they arrived, we found boulliabase bland, presentation pathetic. My tiny portion of mushroom/spinach ravioli was almost laughable except I was dismayed. A few thin little raviolis, no garnish, just a half-ladle-full of pasta bits under some carrot sauce,...
This is our second time dinning here...first was lunch. Lunch was great so we wanted to come back for dinner. They had a prefixed menu because of the holiday...great menu. We had a very friendly waitress "Pepper" and great food. We will be back!
I can't believe the reviews this restaurant is getting. I feel like we were at a different restaurant. Food presentation just wasn't . What was presented was a slop of mash potato (served flat on your plate and plain white)and a leg of duck with hardly any sauce. Not a green bean a carrot or for that matter a sprig...

Relativity Media is in the final stages of negotiating with actor Henry Cavill to star as Theseus in WAR OF THE GODS by director Tarsem Singh, per VARIETY.
Warner Bros., for their part, is talking to Sam Worthington to play Perseus in their Louis Leterrier-helmed CLASH OF THE TITANS.
While different in plot, the two films are both themed in Greek mythology and will use the greenscreen technique 300 used to great success, while keeping the respective budgets under $100 million.
Deals with both actors are expected to be finalized soon, and both films should begin filming by late winter or early spring.
WAR OF THE GODS was written by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides. Gianni Nunnari (Hollywood Productions) and Mark Canton (Canton Productions) will produce with Ryan Kavanaugh.
Coming off THE INCREDIBLE HULK, Leterrier is committed to WB's CLASH OF THE TITANS, a remake of the 1981 film. Following the story of Zeus' son Perseus and his journey and battles with Medusa, the film was written by Lawrence Kasden. A co-production with Legendary Pictures, it will be produced by Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk and Kevin De La Noy.
Both Cavill and Worthington were close to big breakthroughs two years ago. Cavill, who is known now for his performance on Showtime's THE TUDORS, was on the short list to play Superman in SUPERMAN RETURNS. Worthington was a finalist to play James Bond in CASINO ROYALE and is starring in James Cameron's AVATAR. He will also play a role in McG's upcoming TERMINATOR SALVATION.

Elon Musk ponies up $10M to help prevent robots from slaughtering us
Artificial intelligence is developing at a rapid rate, and Elon Musk wants to make sure robots don't one day try to overtake mankind. The donated funds will be used to help support AI research activities, especially projects with a focus on non-threatening AI development.
"Here are all these leading AI researchers saying that AI safety is important," Musk recently said regarding AI. "I agree with them, so I'm today committing $10M to support research aimed at keeping AI beneficial for humanity."
Physicist Stephen Hawking joined Musk and signed an open letter that pledged AI would be developed in a productive, safe manner for humans. The Future of Life Institute published the open letter, which has generated great interest from tech and science industry leaders.
US Air Force steps up drone pilot recruitment to avoid pilot shortage
The United States Air Force is boosting pay for drone pilots, and using additional manpower from the Air Force Reserves, in an effort to fill a drone pilot gap. Drone pilots are in high demand by the US military, with current pilots working up to 14 hours per day, six days per week, according to the US Air Force.
Current drone needs to help battle ISIS in Iraq and Syria have placed additional strain on the Air Force, despite initial plans that demand would drop after most troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan. Now, the Air Force is trying to find ways to entice pilots to stay in the military and continue leading operations.
"We thought we were drawing down and had a plan in place to man this enterprise that would, if we had actually drawn down, we'd be fine right now," said General Mark Welsh, US Air Force chief of staff, in a statement to the media. "We've met the operational demand signal, but we're doing it by putting people in a position where they're not having a debate whether they want to continue doing this."
ShotSpotter technology help identify and locate gunshots in cities
ShotSpotter technology is being used in areas with high levels of crime and gun violence, which helps law enforcement respond faster to gun shots. Using microphones located around "problem areas" of cities, the ShotSpotter system is able to provide instant locations of gunshots within 10 feet.
The use of the system allows police to investigate shootings that often times aren't reported after they occur. However, it is rather expensive to deploy, with costs ranging from $60,000 up to $100,000 per year per square mile.
"It helps us catching guys and it helps us with officer safety," said Orlando Cuevas, Camden County police chief, in a statement to CBS News. "Now these officers are not traveling blindly into an area where a gunshot is."

Duke University creates first contracting human muscle in research lab
Duke University researchers have grown human skeletal muscles in a research lab, with the manufactured creation able to contract and respond like native tissue. It's possible the lab-created muscles can help with drug research and so researchers are better able to study diseases.
Researchers used human cells that progressed past stem cells but didn't reach full muscle tissue yet - and the myogenic precursors were allowed to form into muscle fibers located in a custom 3D scaffolding.
"One of our goals is to use this method to provide personalized medicine to patients," said Nenad Bursac, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University, in a press statement. "We can take a biopsy from each patient, grow many new muscles to use as test samples and experiment to see which drugs would work best for each person."

Concerns mount as some believe robots could take half of German jobs
It's hard to predict what will happen as robotics technology matures, and artificial intelligence software advances, but there is growing concern that robots could end up taking jobs from humans. In Germany and other European Union (EU) nations look to solve political problems, there is growing concern that robots - and not immigrants from other nations - could lead to a shrinking work force.
"What's fundamentally different is that (these advances) have the ability to affect a broader set of workers," said Jeremy Bowles, a researcher at the Bruegel Institute in Brussels, Belgium. Bowles believes humanoid robots will be able to carry out human tasks that could one day impact white-collar employees.
However, a counter-argument is that the rise of robotics will help spur the economy, as there will be additional opportunities for businesses. "Robotics is seen as a pivotal technology, which is not only going into robotics per se but into so many other branches and technologies," said Uwe Haas, secretary general of the European Union's robotics program. "It will create new jobs because [it will make] new businesses possible."
Protesters irked as San Francisco Bay Area agencies want drones
Police agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area have shown an increased interest in using drones for various operations, though the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other privacy advocates aren't amused.
The Alameda County Sheriff's office purchased two drones last year for about $97,000, citing an interest in using them for disaster response and search-and-rescue operations.
"Through our research we learned that a small, unmanned aircraft can support first responders in situations which would benefit from an aerial perspective, and that by having it could expose dangers that could otherwise not be seen," said Tom Madigan, Alameda County Sheriff's Office captain, told Bloomberg News. "That's what triggered our interest."

NASA drops robot into volcano to help study fissure
The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has started testing its VolcanoBot 1 robot in Hawaii, sending it into inactive fissures located inside the active Kilauea volcano. The small two-wheeled robot is less than seven inches tall and around one foot long, with the ability to help researchers create 3D fissure maps.
"We don't know exactly how volcanoes erupt. We have models but they are all very, very simplified. This project aims to help make those models more realistic," said Carolyn Parcheta, JPL postdoctoral fellow.
NASA hopes to refine the VolcanoBot 1's abilities, which could be rolled out for future missions on planets and moons besides Earth. There is specific interest in exploring craters on the moon and Mars, with Earth-based experiments helping perfect hardware before sending them into space.
CNN and FAA sign drone research agreement, bringing unique news angles
The CNN news organization and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have agreed to create a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRDA) to see how drones can be used for news gathering and reporting.
CNN previously had an agreement with the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), with CNN, GTRI and FAA working together - and could help create a roadmap for wider drone use in news reporting.
"Our aim is to get beyond hobby-grade equipment and to establish what options are available and workable to produce high quality video journalism using various types of UAVs and camera setups," said David Vigilante, CNN Senior Vice President, in a statement. "Our hope is that these efforts contribute to the development of a vibrant ecosystem where operators of various types and sizes can safely operate in the US airspace."
US Army embracing 'brain thermometer' to better gauge soldier health
A new mobile application described as a "brain thermometer" is being developed by AnthroTronix, and has the ability to accurately gauge soldier traumatic brain injuries and other physical ailments. The Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) conducts neurocognitive and psychological tests that can help medical experts identify problems.
Participants are asked to answer on-screen exercises, with speed and accuracy tracked - a medical provider would then analyze the tests and compare it to pre-deployment test figures.
"In essence, measuring reaction time is like taking the temperature of the brain," said Corinna Lathan, CEO of AnthroTronix. "It's a vital part of the data that any health professional needs to evaluate his patient."

AI researchers called upon to sign open letter for safe development
Research into artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, and there is growing concern that uncontrolled AI could have a significant impact on mankind. To prevent this from happening, the Future of Life Institute (FLI) wants AI researchers to sign an open letter to protect humans from intelligent machines.
"We recommend expanded research aimed at ensuring that increasingly capable AI systems are robost and beneficial: our AI systems must do what we want them to do," the letter reads. "The attached research priorities document gives many examples of such research directions that can help maximize the societal benefit of AI. This research is by necessity interdisciplinary, because it involves both society and AI. It ranges from economics, law and philosophy to computer security, formal methods and, of course, various branches of AI itself."
AI is being used in autonomous weapons systems, robots and humanoids, and in autonomous vehicles - raising serious ethical questions that must be answered.

32 year old man | Solomons, MD, USA | Seeking women 25-37 within 100 miles of Aurora, CO
A person can only live so long without water, so long without food, but you can never live without hope!
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I have lived in CO for almost 2 years and absolutely love it here! I have this addiction to skiing. I am the type of person who gives 100% at everything I do. I have always been very competitive in just about everything in life. I have a career that I enjoy, and I have always had the mindset of work hard, and play hard, and so far it has worked out very well for me. I try to live a very active lifestyle. My top 3 favorite things are skiing, wakeboarding, and bull riding. I try to ski every chance I get, even if it's only a couple of runs. When I travel from November thru March I usually take my skis just in case I find a place to ski. During the summer I usually have a pretty good idea of which rodeo I will be at. I am not the typical bull rider due to the fact I am tall for the sport, I enjoy shorts and flip flops (which I am usually wearing to rodeos), and I have a few tattoos. Originally I grew up in New Mexico, but have traveled all over. I grew up from a very young age getting too work for things that I wanted. I wouldn't change my childhood for the world. I have strong ties to my family, and I am looking for someone who wants and has the same in their life. I grew up with a very clear understanding from my mother that if you don't respond to everyone with "yes sir, or yes ma'am" there was a sure thing that is going to happen! she is going to break her foot off in my behind for being disrespectful. The best part is that even being 30 years old I still know that she will do that. Things that I enjoy: Traveling, dancing, cooking, coffee, running, hockey, Nebraska football, turning up the radio as loud as it will go and jamming to good music, hanging out with my dog, people watching, learning random facts, trying to find the best eggs benedict in the world, and having a good conversation with people. Things I dislike: Rude people, people who complain about things that they could totally change, but won't put the effort in to fix it, and SNAKES!!! I am sure there are more things, but I really try hard not to be negative. Well if you're still reading that's awesome, so I now that I have given you a snapshot of me here are some of the important qualities that I am looking for in a lady. A lady that has a good outlook on life, and knows what is she wants (this is very important because I am not a mind reader). I am a firm believer that a healthy relationship has an open line of communication. You will not agree with everything I do, and I will not agree with everything that you do, but if it is not brought up then it cannot be changed or discussed. I want someone who has a sense of humor and can dish it right back. I hope that if you are still reading that you have already started thinking of what you are going to write in your email!! I look forward to getting to hear from you!!

I have Dogs
I have a 4 year old Rottie named Boss. He is a 100lbs lap dog.
I enjoy going downtown and people watching. I have traveled all over the US, Mexico, and Canada. My favorite place so far is Vancouver BC.
Some of my favorite TV shows are Eastbound & Down, SOA, and modern family. I absolutely love sushi. Good beer.
I try to go to the movies, or to a sporting events as often as I can! I enjoy skiing as much as possible. I enjoy going out for a night on the town, and go dancing. I ride bulls in my spare time.
Happy, Happy, Happy! I really enjoyed this book, because of the core values. I sometimes go back and read certain chapters just for a little pick me up!!

This week's classic photo is by a pioneer of moving images, Eadweard James Muybridge. He used to record a serious of movements and place them side by side so the viewer could see the anatomy of movement. This sequence appears in the book 50 Photographers You Should Know published by Prestel.
Worthy of its classic status? Let's hear what you think.

|Eadward James Muybridge - leapfrog sequence
|24 Aug 2010 - 12:21 PM

I find his images fascinating to look through. I remember getting a book out of the library many years ago and enjoying the sequences, some of horses are incredible. The interesting point is his human studies were usually naked, and in this case children. Would that be acceptable in today's society? Probably not.
Nominating Constructive Critique
To me it is acceptable, these were a classic invention which can not be compared to the modern society, he was the pioneer of the motion picture, a link...Last Modified By clicknimagine at 24 Aug 2010 - 12:33 PM
Nominating Constructive Critique
this reminds me of a show richard hammond presented where they has a super high speed camera and recorded an explosion - you could actually see the blast wave as it circled out like a hemisphere.
what I mean is that techcnology allowed us to see what a blast shock wave looks like, for the first tim, in the same way that we can see how leapfrog works, or more famously, the running horses.
it's more of an experiment than an artistic pursuit - but the result is something everyone can appreciate because its something we see in every day life - things running and jumping.
As for the naked kids... not a chance today, but to be honest, when I look at the shot, I'm looking at the implied action from shot to shot, not the fact that the subjects are naked (which I assume was to show how the muscles work) or are kids.
Just shows what a sick age we live in today where everyone assumes the worst about everyone else. I was at Gordale scar the other day and there were kids in the stream playing, just in trunks, why did I feel I had to put the lens cap on and not look anywhere near them ??
So the shot is from that age of discovery through technology, but also shows how we've changed as a culture too.
Nominating Constructive Critique
it's more of an experiment than an artistic pursuit
i do not agree with this point, because both are interrelated you can not separate them...
Nominating Constructive Critique
For me this is a good example of how the camera is merely a tool for the imagination and is subordinate to it. With these images it's a combination of being able to visualise both the end result and the means through which it is achieved. If it ain't science then its art.
Nominating Constructive Critique
My first thought when I saw it was: Excellent study of the human body in motion. And now that I've thought about it some more, that's still what it means to me.
Naked? Yes. Children? Yes. So what? Why does society nowadays always have to associate that with perverts?
Quote: Just shows what a sick age we live in today where everyone assumes the worst about everyone else.
Couldn't agree more, it's gone way over the top, the way we think the worst of everything and everyone.
Quote: I was at Gordale scar the other day and there were kids in the stream playing, just in trunks, why did I feel I had to put the lens cap on and not look anywhere near them ??
Now that's just sad, it shouldn't be that way.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Quite agree with Chris.
Any age has its own technology, the critical issue is how we use it.
Here I can see the originality of the idea. And it is just the idea that is original. Why use a camera and not take a movie, if the purpose was to study muscles?
here I see a deep study in both the preparation of the picture and the "post production" choice of which pictures put togheter.
As per the nudity: it seems that the ancient greek vision of the beauty of the body was still intact, at that time.
Nowadays is no longer so, and it is a shame!
well this was my first comment in this group, hope everything I've said make sense to anyone

Brian Sewell recently reviewed, in the Evening Standard, an exhibition of Muybridge's work and was quite scathing about it's claim as art. I tend to agree with him but it was a technical Tour de Force of it's time... So pretty much in line with the consensus, I think!
Nominating Constructive Critique
Not great for today, Probally of more interest for art students more than most as a study of the naked form and limb positione etc. From a perhaps more tech POV, the 9 images above is short of the 10th one from the set below. the presentation of the top set is skewed and i can't see why unless the 10th has fallen off a pin board.
Probally very clever for is time at about 5fps and synched accross 2 cameras, with one panning along with the action (or cropped afterwards), Good for an art/science book due to the markers on the bottom of the lower individual frames, no engagement with the viewer.

"I just have to tell you how glad I am that I wrote a grant last spring to purchase all of your materials. We are using the Letters & Sounds DVD in my Kindergarten class right now and it is amazing. I had a lot of children this year that didn't know any letters and they now know most letters! I can see their little mouths moving to the songs when I assess and they are stuck on a letter. I have tried many programs in 29 years and yours works! The other teachers I work with are working on grants now to purchase the materials! Thank you for your hard work."

The math lesson shown here uses the Jumpin' Numbers and Shakin' Shapes flashcards, each with a character embedded into the number or shape. The character jogs the childs memory to help him remember a motion and the name of the number or shape.
Heidi Demonstrates the Jumpin' Numbers and Shakin' Shapes Movements!
Product Overview
Fun, character artwork with Color Illustrations on the front & B/W Number or Shapes only on the back!
These flash cards are used to drill the children on the numbers and shapes. The flash cards have a character embedded into each number or shape, and the children are asked to respond simultaneously with an action and the name of the number or shape when they see it. The characters on the cards also help jog the child's memory to help him remember the motion and the concept in a system that is similar to the method used in Zoo-Phonics.
It is this simultaneous response makes this a multi-sensory activity that optimizes the child's chances of remembering the concept presented. This method often works to teach even children with learning disabilities the numbers and shapes. And, used in conjunction with the musical component, it has been reported by parents and teachers alike to have worked well with children who have Autism and even Down's Syndrome.
Printed card set includes:24 cards for each of the 19 songs on the CD & DVD, plus a smaller flashcard set that can be used for individual or small group drills. All cards include full-color number/shape character designs on the front, with matching B/W number/shape designs on the back.

Hello Barry, thank you for contacting PureFormulas. Whey and casein are 2 different proteins. Whey is beneficial for the synthesis of protein in the body while casein is beneficial in avoiding protein breakdown.

Flickr Photos
I completed Vogue 2900 and have attached five photos. I'm not an experienced sewer, so I have quite a few fit issues. I have many books now on how to correct fit. But a lot of times I don't know what to label what is wrong with it. I was hoping that you could look at the photos and tell me what the label is so I could look it up in the book. Though if you have a good link on how to fix it that would be much appreciated. I'd very much like to thank you in advance, I found all these issues rather overwhelming.
(1) The number one issue for me is the shoulders. As you can see they come inward very close to the neck and don't sit back closer to the arm. In two of the pictures I have pulled the shoulders forcibly back to illustrate. This is a problem that has cropped up on another pattern that I made, so I know its a fitting issue unique to me and not a pattern issue (especially since I saw many beautiful V2900s without this problem).
(2) I have some fabric in the lower back, is that a swayback adjustment?
(3) There is some tightness/dimple in the middle front of bust
(4) Perhaps hard to see but the armhole gapes in both the front and back.
I'm not an expert but I think you certainly need a full bust adjustment. I think that's contributing to the armhole gaping and the shoulder problems. It also just looks too tight at the bust.
I'm not sure about the back wrinkles. Can you get someone to pin them out and see what shape they are? You can probably take out all the excess in the waist seam.
Hope that helps a little.
Kathleen -- Edited on 9/3/13 6:36 AM --
I agree with Kathleen. I think an FBA is the first thing you should try. The lower back might need a small sway back adjustment. Start with the FBA and see what that does. Might help the upper back a bit too.
First question, when you select your pattern, did you choose by your high bust measurement? That should help the shoulder fit. Right now the neck and shoulders are too big for you. Selecting size by high bust will require a full bust adjustment, but that is a little simpler than trying to get neck and shoulders fit.
The backview shows horizontal lines which is a give a way for snugness. Also, I strongly endorse making a tester, an old sheet works well, so you will be able to extend the shoulder to fit your measurements and avoid the center from folding together. Now I read where JTink wrote the same. Good Lunck
My advice is to do a snug high bust measurement as well as Nancy's Zieman's front chest width measurement to properly assess your correct pattern size. I think you can drop down a size or two for the neck and shoulders.
Is this pattern multi-sized? That would make it easy. Cut a smaller size at neck and shoulders morphing to a larger size at the full bust.
Other things...
1. A full bust adjustment
2. Alter for swayback.
3. Can't really identify where your shoulder seam is falling. Is it too far back? Cut 1 1/2" shoulder seam allowances and adjust the placement as necessary. In addition, I'm seeing diagonal "strain" wrinkles from CF to shoulders. I do an FBA and see if they go away. If not, I'd adjust the shoulder seam at the shoulder/armhole tip to see if that wrinkle can be eliminated. Probably just the front armhole if you have a rounded forward shoulder.
If there is still armhole gape after doing an FBA, I'd just do an armhole dart. You could always transfer the armhole dart and make it a typical bust dart for future dresses. That's such a common problem. If you feel there's enough room at the full bust and there's still gape, it's more of a shaping issue, imo, require a dart.
Cut extra wide seam allowances to allow for tweaking too.

You did a great job with the actual sewing. After you learn how to fit, you will have some amazing clothes!!
Your shoulder slope needs correcting, that's why your neckline is standing away from your body; you need an fba and yes, you need a sway back adjustment. After doing the last you may need to add below the waist so that the overall length is correct.
I don't know what size you are using but patterns are designed, for the most part for a B cup and even if you buy a pattern by your full bust measurement it will be too tight across the bust. Buy a pattern by the upper bust measurement and then make an fba. You don't need the larger size in the shoulders and neckline.
Looking at your pictures again I also think that you need to make a rounded back adjustment. This will add fabric at the upper back where you are round. This will get rid of what appears to be a wrinkle at your upper back.
