Everything about Studio Emme was above and beyond. Not only were they responsible for creating a wedding more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed, but also made it a completely stress-free experience. I simply cannot imagine our wedding without Studio Emme. Forgive my... Read More hyperbole in this review, but it really it warranted. Studio Emme is THE BEST. We had only a vague notion of the aesthetic, colors and types of flowers that we wanted yet Molly was able to create bouquets and floral arrangements that were gorgeous and entirely our taste. Molly is a true artist but also a very professional businesswoman and an unbelievably industrious worker. Everything you could ever want in a wedding florist! She was extremely open to our wants and needs but also willing to give her expert opinion where needed. She has an incredible eye and is a very clever problem-solver. Molly was extremely attentive to our needs and helped us with far more than just the floral arrangements. She was basically our wedding planner! It was amazing. Aside from gorgeous centerpieces, corsages and bouquets, she also made very cool personalized "blackboard"-esque signs and seating chart, set up our dessert table, helped us figure out our table arrangement (even made us a floor plan with measurements!), created an amazing flower petal backdrop for the ceremony and dinner, designed and created the most beautiful floral headband I've ever seen (despite my requesting it only a few days before the wedding). And Molly was there the entire time to help set up, flip the room and clean up. I don't know what we would have done without her. I cannot recommend Studio Emme highly enough. If you want beautiful, memorable wedding flowers and decorations that are incredibly reasonably priced accompanied by absolutely unbeatable service, search no further.
We are so grateful to hear these kinds words and are blown away by such a heartfelt review of our work and services. It was such a pleasure working with you and your family, we couldn't have thought of a better way to spend that... Read Less Read More
Best in the business!Reviewed on 9/27/2015 Lexy S
My first meeting with Molly, I just knew I had made the right decision. Flowers were really important to me, as they added so much color and texture to the wedding look I was going for. After I started explaining to Molly what I wanted during our first meeting, I KNEW she... Read More completely understood what I wanted. She understood my vision before I had even finished explaining it. She made a little portfolio with pictures to represent what I wanted and showed them to us at our next meeting. I also loved that she had so many other decorating pieces- she provided us with candles and floating candles and table numbers. She did set up and tear down for the ceremony and reception- it couldn't have gone smoother. She was absolutely wonderful to work with- she is so friendly and was always open to getting together to answer our questions, etc. She also worked very hard to come up with ways to keep our flowers in our budget, even though my "want" list kept growing, and our budget did not. I almost cried when I saw our flowers on the morning of our wedding- they were exactly what I wanted. And we have Molly to thank for that! All our family and friends commented on how stunning the flowers were. If you don't have Studio Emme as your wedding florist, you're missing out! Thank you Molly, for everything!
Thank YOU, Lexy! We cannot fully express how much fun it was working with you on your wedding. I was truly inspired by you and absolutely love how you share in our excitement about your wedding flowers. Can we do it again? Haha. Thank you... Read Less Read More
Unbelievably Talented!Reviewed on 2/11/2015 Kristina K
Molly is incredibly talented and has an wondrous work ethic. Not only did she do the amazing flowers for my winter in MN wedding (which is difficult enough with the weather), but she did decor, seating charts, and other items that truly sets her apart from the competition. Her... Read More and I spent hours putting ideas together and somehow she managed to make the ideas in my head come to life at my wedding. We had a large order as we had very large centerpieces and the floral decor was quite extensive; she handled it with amazing finesse and managed to make everything look and turn out exquisite. I can not stop telling people how amazing she was as she literally made our ballroom transform from just a ballroom to a fairytale; the tables had large centerpieces with glass vases that hung like trees almost...they were beautiful. The bridesmaids bouquets were white hydrangeas and they were HUGE! They were stunning next to my bridesmaids emerald green gowns. My bridal bouquet was probably 50 pounds heavy and SO AWESOME! She took my idea of making everything with the flowers look large and lush and she just crushed it! Her input was great as she has a great eye for class and taste; but she also does a great job of making sure it's something that you like. Sometimes vendors can get carried away with pushing something that they think will work; Molly was so good at suggesting things but making sure you, as the consumer, liked it. I would highly recommend Molly and her staff as they really were the one thing that made my wedding as glamorous and perfect as I had always dreamed. She is very fair priced and if you are looking for a great vendor who will work her butt off for you, this girl is it. I could not recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed!!!!
You absolutely made our day! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are thrilled we were able to make that day as special for you two as it was for us. The room reveal touched my heart, it was a truly wonderful experience... Read Less Read More
To say that Molly Yee, owner of Studio Emme, was the "fairy godmother" of my daughter's wedding may sound contrived, but it is accurate in every sense. It was obvious at our initial consultation that Molly had even more to offer us than her professionalism, extensive knowledge... Read More and unique floral options. As we reviewed and commented on photographs of the studio's past weddings, she somehow surmised the aura both bride and groom wanted to convey. When we next met for her proposals, we were blown away! Her entourage of floral designs were beyond beautiful – they expressed what words could not. As Molly guided us through the decision process, we actually experienced relief of "wedding stress". It was exciting to know that we could fully entrust her with this aspect of the wedding. What we could not have known was that Molly would become the backbone of the wedding planning. She volunteered a floor plan which comfortably accommodated both ceremony and dinner seating in the wedding venue, which was at its maximum capacity. She accommodated our on-going requests, always providing assurances of support. She arrived the morning of the wedding with items to even further enhance the wedding's décor. We now consider Molly a friend and will forever be thankful for her calm yet exciting demeanor and for her ability to successfully interpret my daughter and son's-in-law vision to create a distinctive ambiance where they could share their celebration of love. Molly's genuine caring and excitement paved the way to making their wedding journey a joyful one.
Amazing! That's all I can say about Molly and Studio Emme. She took my vision of rustic chic and blew me away by her attention to detail and little additions. Her dedication to what I was looking for and professionalism to make sure that everything was handled in a timely and... Read More orderly manner left me stress free on wedding day.
Studio Emme is AmazingReviewed on 11/02/2015 Rachelle K
Molly at Studio Emme is the reason I got through my wedding and didn't stress out about anything. She takes care of so many small details and her style and quality, and ideas are next to none. Everything looked more amazing than I could have ever imagined and the flowers and... Read More decorations were absolutely stunning. I would recommend Molly to any of my best friends with 100% guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Not to mention how great Molly is on top of that. If you are looking for you place for flowers and decorations, look no further, Studio Emme is your spot. Simply Amazing.
Above & Beyond Service from Studio Emme!Reviewed on 10/31/2015 Angela M
I chose Studio Emme for my floral & décor needs for my wedding in August. Molly & her team exceeded my expectations by covering each & every detail that I hadn't even thought of covering the decor at the reception and all of our floral needs. Our bouquets and centerpieces were... Read More beyond anything I imagined they would be, they were truly beautiful. I would recommend Molly & Studio Emme to any bride who needs someone to bring her floral dreams to life on her special day. You will not be disappointed!
My daughter wanted the flowers at her intimate wedding dinner to be understated but elegant. We both were hoping that the flowers could then transition and decorate an informal celebratory picnic the next day. Molly's floral creations carried both events flawlessly!! Molly has... Read More an aesthetic sense and a level of creativity that is hard to match! Molly is also a great listener. With minimal back-and-forth communication/hassle, Molly was able to combine my daughter's vision with the venues, seamlessly!! We highly recommend Molly for your wedding day, or any special event for that matter!
Amazing!Reviewed on 10/30/2015
We worked with Molly from Studio Emme for my daughter's recent wedding. My daughter had some ideas of what she wanted for the bouquets, centerpieces, and large ceremony arrangements, but nothing definite. Molly did an excellent job capturing my daughter's personality and wishes.... Read More The flowers were beautiful and unique, which is exactly what we were looking for. The centerpieces incorporated flowers, cranberries, floating and votive candles. I really wasn't sure how it would look, but it was stunning! We continue to get compliments on how beautiful the tables and room looked, and Molly gets full credit for that. I highly recommend Molly and Studio Emme. You will not be disappointed!
Molly was amazing! The flowers and decor she created greatly exceeded our expectations. My bouquet perfectly matched a piece of floral jewelry. She delivered all of the flowers/decor at time and in perfect condition. We would use Molly again for a future event. We already...

Studio Emme is worth every penny! :)Reviewed on 10/28/2015 Andrea P
If you are like me, you probably don't like to read through all the review so here is what you need to know: Amazing Flowers + Outstanding Customer Service + Happy Bride AND Groom = Studio Emme! Hire them! you won't regret it and it is worth every penny! For details... Read More read below: I don't have enough words to express how thankful I am with Molly and Keisha at Studio Emme. Not only the flower arrangements were amazing at my wedding but my bouquet was exactly what I had imagined! I wish I could preserve it forever! It was so beautiful! Molly and Keisha were able to capture and combine my crazy ideas from pinterest and on my own and made them real! I was amazed when I saw what they came up with not only with my flower arrangements but with my Save the dates too! I am not from Minnesota and I was overwhelmed with all the planning that is involved in a wedding. Someone recommended Studio Emme for being small studio yet highly professional where I could get personalized attention. I am pleased to tell you that I found what I was looking for and more. We met with Molly and her attention was exceptional. Molly is also an architect which I think is important to mention because I don't know florists but I know architects and those who know architects know that for them to be successful they need to know how to communicate with their clients not only written communication, but visually and verbally. This is important because architects have to be able to get and understand your ideas and have the ability to extract them and make them real. Molly is the perfect example of putting those architect skills in her job as a florist. A really cool and talented one! :) Molly and Keisha were always really nice to me, patient with my questions and the questions from my groom (which was an opinionated one!). They are friendly, fun and their attention to detail is what makes the difference! I cannot tell you how relieved I felt having Studio Emme in my team. They exceeded our expectations and made my planning process and my wedding day much easier and enjoyable for me. Overall, my experience with Studio Emme was excellent. I would not hesitate in hiring them for your wedding! Trust me when I said that in Studio Emme you will find more than amazing, creative flower arrangements… seriously! besides other services you will find friends that you can trust them the most important day of your life because they will go far and beyond to make it real for you! Thank you Molly and Keisha! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without you guys and we will always be thankful for it. Avi

There are not even enough characters to describe how easy Molly and Keisha made the floral process. I found them to be some of the most professional artists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. SO MANY guests at our wedding commented on our florals and asked who did... Read More them! I told them all (many of whom are getting married in 2016) that they MUST choose studio Emme, not only because they are a local, small business, but because of their attention to detail and professionalism! Love and Thanks, Renae
Studio Emme is there with you every step of the way!Reviewed on 10/26/2015 Jennifer L
I started working with Studio Emme about 1 year prior to my wedding. From the beginning, the owner, Molly, was extremely detail-oriented and collaborative. She encouraged me to describe my vision, show her pictures, share my Pinterest board, etc. Her knowledge of florals and... Read More foliage is extensive and she knows what pieces work together, what is in season and available, and what is comparable if the type you want is unavailable. She also is able to adjust what you want to get a similar output for a lower price. She is flexible in meeting times and use all forms of communication, which made it easy to be able to email or call her or stop by the shop whenever I needed. Molly has a true eye for design, but besides her attention to floral detail, she is extremely helpful in the wedding planning process. She is there (with her assistant(s)) every moment you need her on the day of the wedding, and will deliver, setup, take down, without any issue. I actually never saw her on my wedding day but could tell she was obviously there - every thing we had talked about was there in front of me and ready to go at the time I needed it. The last thing I will gush about is that besides being an artist in her field, she is a very professional business person. I found that many wedding vendors are very talented at their craft, but not necessarily business people, which made communication, scheduling, payment, etc. more of a chore. Molly never let me down and had every detail pinned down. I would recommend her to anyone getting married or hosting a special event - I also used Studio Emme for my engagement cocktail party and everyone thought the florals were beautiful there as well!
AmazingReviewed on 10/24/2015 Lisa Z
Molly and her staff at Studio Emme helped to make my day absolutely perfect. From day one Molly listened to what I wanted and helped me to get that and stay within my budget. The bouquets and centerpieces exceeded my expectations. They were absolutely gorgeous. I got so many... Read More compliments through out the night. I would highly recommend Molly and Studio Emme!
Succulent BlissReviewed on 10/22/2015
No words will ever be able to describe how absolutely beautiful our flowers were! We had our wedding in the Sunken Garden at Como Zoo's Conservatory, so we didn't need a lot of flowers. However, at the last minute I decided I wanted a bouquet, a hairpiece, pomanders for the... Read More flower girls, and a boutonniere for my husband. Studio Emme accepted my order while they were already SUPER busy and create the most beautiful bouquet and hairpiece I've ever seen. I wish I could have our wedding day all over again, just so I could carry my beautiful bouquet of succulents, peonies, and roses all around. I can't tell you how many compliments we received on the flowers! Everyone wanted to see my bouquet up close. I even took my bouquet out on the town for our wedding after party! I also feel that it's important to mention that my husband and I had to be very careful with the amount of money we were spending, and the lovely ladies at Studio Emme were so kind and willing to work within our price limits. Thank you, ladies. My bouquet was more than I ever dreamed. You both are true artists! I will, without any doubts, refer everyone and anyone to YOU! Thanks again! Molly & Brandon
Loved them!Reviewed on 10/21/2015 Julie D
I absolutely LOVED working with Molly and Studio Emme. She was so easy to work with, a great listener, and really did go above and beyond helping me figure out what I wanted and make it a reality. I would highly recommend them to anyone as a wedding florist! I received SO many... Read More complements on everything she did from the bouquets to the corsages to the centerpieces. All of my bridesmaids and family were in awe of the bouquet. They helped us create the most beautiful wedding and blew away all the expectations I had! and the flowers lasted weeks after! Molly was onsite to set up early in the day, and then came back to move pieces from the ceremony to the reception. So helpful and I appreciated it all! Definitely give her a call!
Studio Emme!Reviewed on 10/21/2015 Justin H
Studio Emme was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have imagined my wedding flowers turning out any better than they did. We met initially to go over the preliminary details and what we were looking from a style perspective. Based on this meeting Molly put together... Read More different pictures of the general style that she would be capturing. After this meeting we gave feedback on what images we liked most, the types of flowers we preferred, etc. Molly was very accommodating to our budget and always discussed what types of flowers could capture our style without being overly costly or suggested non-flower alternatives that would fit our theme. The final result was absolutely beautiful and was completely hasslefree. I would recommend Studio Emme for anyone who is looking for a wedding florist.
Beautiful, Unique TouchReviewed on 10/21/2015 Ana W
Molly at Studio Emme was amazing! I don't know much about flowers and had basically no ideas as to what I wanted for my wedding, and her suggestions were perfect. Not only were all the bouquets, centerpieces and other elements gorgeous, they were also really unique - I had never... Read More seen anything like them before. We took some photos outside and had people passing by comment on how lovely and different they were. The flowers set up for the ceremony and reception really tied everything together perfectly and looked even prettier than I could have imagined. Molly was there setting up, was there for flipping the room, and came to take everything down after the party, so we didn't have to stress ourselves with setting everything up. I definitely recommend Molly and Studio Emme to anyone; you will get personalized recommendations, arrangements that look beautiful but are different, and excellent service! :)
Rushed order, still fantasticReviewed on 10/07/2015 Dana N
I hired Studio Emme a couple weeks before my wedding, and although she was very busy with other weddings she was still able to help me out creating bouquets and boutonnieres for me & my husband and our wedding party for our big day. The bouquets were gorgeous, very large and... Read More organic- perfect for the season and our wedding colors & theme. They really held up well, throughout the bouquet toss and traveling they maintained shape and volume. I still have my bouquet and it looks great even after 5 days after the wedding. Thank you so so much Studio Emme!!
Thank you, Dana! We caught a sneak peak of some pictures from your wedding day and what a beautiful day it was. You made one heck of a gorgeous bride! Thank you so much for making Studio Emme a part of your big day!
SIMPLY AMAZING!Reviewed on 9/24/2015 Nadine A
I don't know where to begin. From the moment I met with Molly to discuss my wedding ideas, I was impressed. She had wonderful suggestions and her creative vision was remarkable. I trusted her with every aspect of my big day. Molly and Kiesha made the planning easy and... Read More stress-free. They were beyond helpful. Everything I asked for, they provided.

If I could give a lower rating, I would. I met with Molly to discuss flowers for my wedding a little over a month ago now. We met at her studio and had a nice, quick consultation. And then I never heard anything back. I have emailed multiple times and called multiple times.... Read More I did get ahold of her partner on the phone once who told me she would return my call but weeks later no response. I do not have the biggest budget so I understand if she could not make it work for us. I can only assume that is the problem, but a simple email or phone call indicating that they cannot be the florist would have been appreciated. Very unprofessional.

Beautiful Beautiful FlowersReviewed on 11/19/2014 Diana Y
Stunning flowers! Molly did an amazing job for our wedding. All of our bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and centerpieces looked absolutely phenomenal! Her attention to detail really made each of her arrangements look like pieces of art. I love looking at our wedding pictures... Read More and seeing how the flowers created a romantic ceremony space for us, in addition to accenting the beautiful ballroom at the St. Paul Hotel. I felt that Molly really listened to what we wanted and put together something better than we ever could have expected. She truly is an artist with incredible talent. We are so appreciative of all of the hard work Molly put into our special day -- and it did not go unnoticed by our guests...who are still talking about the flowers almost three weeks later.
Diana, you absolutely warmed our hearts. Thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you for making Studio Emme a part of your beautiful wedding day. It was such a pleasure working with you and Dan. Best wishes!
Worth every penny!Reviewed on 10/22/2014 Janey D

text: Scott Schoonover Union Avenue Opera opens 22nd season with a new take on 'The Mikado' By Mary Edwards & Kelly Moffitt • Jul 5, 2016 Union Avenue Opera The curtain rises on Union Avenue Opera's 22nd Festival Season on July 8 with a new adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic, "The Mikado." On Tuesday's St. Louis on the Air, contributor Steve Potter was joined by mezzo soprano Melissa Parks who sings the role of Katisha in "The Mikado." Also joining the program were Eric Gibson, who directs the production, and Scott Schoonover, Union Avenue Opera's artistic director and conductor, to discuss the production and preview the two other productions in the 2016 season. Reflection: Looking for sparks of redemption in 'Götterdämmerung's' ashes By Robert Duffy • Aug 23, 2015 John Lamb | Union Avenue Opera On the way home Friday night from the Union Avenue Opera on North Union Boulevard, I landed in the middle of a beehive at the intersection of Euclid and Maryland avenues. The place is always busy, but on weekend evenings it's especially alive. However, this Friday the corner drew many more police officers than usual, including the chief, Sam Dotson. Alderman Lyda Krewson was there; so were many worried longtime residents of the neighborhood. There were tourists from St. Louis County and beyond -- parents bringing their kids to college. Lots of folks were hanging out in the bars and outdoor cafes drinking up a storm. Gridlock-causing motorists, either just cruisin' or looking for parking places or glimpses of civil disobedience, were in abundance. Reflection: From 'Rigoletto's' dark welter of decay, contrast offers a path to goodness By Robert Duffy • Aug 1, 2015 John Lamb | Union Avenue Opera Musicologists have had a field day divvying up the operas of the towering Italian genius Giuseppe Verdi. "Rigoletto" -- performed this weekend with artistic muscle and dramatic agility by Union Avenue Opera – is pigeonholed in his middle period, along with Il trovatore and La traviata. Union Avenue Opera comes of age with 'Don Giovanni' By Mary Edwards • Jul 3, 2015 Courtesy Union Avenue Opera Union Avenue Opera opens its 21st festival season on July 10 with Mozart's "Don Giovanni." When "Cityscape" host Steve Potter pointed out that age 21 in people usually indicates adulthood, UAO Artistic Director Scott Schoonover responded, "We have actually played around with that imagery, thinking about coming into our own at 21. We actually have a pretty serious season this year … a bit heavier in that sense. I think people will still enjoy it and get a lot out of it, but coming into our own, yes." 'La Traviata' Opens Union Avenue Opera's 20th Festival Season By Mary Edwards • Jun 27, 2014 Union Avenue Opera When Union Avenue Opera opens its 2014 season on July 11 with Verdi's La Traviata, it will be with a company that is vastly different than the one that mounted its first production 20 years ago. UAO founding artistic director and conductor Scott Schoonover recalled that he had just finished his degree, wanted a chance to conduct and knew a number of singers who needed work. He had just moved to St. Louis to take the position as music director of Union Avenue Christian Church and the church encouraged him to mount an opera there. Union Avenue Opera Continues Its 'Ring' Cycle With 'Die Walkure' By Mary Edwards & Camille Phillips • Aug 9, 2013 (Courtesy Union Avenue Opera) When one thinks of Wagner's Ring cycle, what comes to mind is a huge cast, orchestra and set which can only be performed in the world's largest opera houses. But Union Avenue Opera has brought the Ring to St. Louis thanks to the reduction and adaptation by composer Jonathan Dove and stage director Graham Vick. The company will mount the second opera, Die Walkure, on August 16, 17, 23 and 24. Union Avenue Opera's 'Trouble In Tahiti" By Mary Edwards & Alex Heuer • Apr 12, 2013 Ron Lindsey Union Avenue Opera opens its Nineteenth Festival Season with Leonard Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti. Written in 1952, the one act opera portrays the troubled marriage of a young suburban couple, Sam and Dinah, and follows the roller coaster of emotion as they try to reconcile their love. Although Bernstein set his opera in the 1950's, the Union Avenue Opera production moves the action to the present day.

W.B.: Roughly eighty percent. Yeah.
R.K.: What does that mean for the way that NSA can get around it?
W.B.: Well that means they have direct access to the fiber lines in the United States so therefore they have direct access to eighty percent of the entire network of the world.
R.K.: And what could they do with that?
W.B.: Well they can collect it, they can take in the data or they can passively do that or they could potentially get active and go through different systems around the world or you know going through the firewalls or other kinds of operating systems that are existing or based on the weaknesses they have created or the weaknesses they jointly created with the industry so that allows them access to the entire network. A good portion of it, anyway.
R.K.: Anything that we haven't covered yet? We have got to wrap this up. Anything that we haven't covered that's really important that you would like the listeners to know about?
W.B.: Just that my major concern isn't with NSA having access to this data or having this data, it's the use of it and once they get it and store it, being used by law enforcement and our law enforcement is spreading that around the world to other law enforcement and so it's corrupting not just our democracy, we're becoming a police state because of this but it's also corrupting the countries around the world so it's really endangering the democratic process and the court systems that we have established. That is really destroying our society. We may not know it yet but eventually it'll get to all of us.
R.K.: Bad news. So you told me that you're going to spend the rest of your life on this.
W.B.: Yes. Until my government basically starts to do the right thing, and that means become a constitutionally based operating government.
R.K.: dDo you see any ideological or party differences in the way this is being handled?
W.B.: Actually no. I think they're all basically the same. They've been, I mean for example you know Bush would prefer to have acquired the terrorists, captured them, put them in to torture them to get information; whereas Obama would kill them with a drone. So it's the same principle, I mean they're just doing whatever they want, there are no limits to what they want to do. Especially the latest NDAA that talks about giving the president the power to declare anybody, any US Citizen even in this country a terrorist and have the military pick them up, take them off the street, incarcerate them indefinitely, and give them no due process.
That to me is executing something very similar to what the Nazis did in 1933, Special Order 48, that did exactly the same thing. And that's how they got rid of all of their opposition. All the communists and anybody else that opposed them. But I mean they sent them to the concentration camps. So far we have not been sending them to the concentration camps but they'll do things like send the FBI after you or maybe attempt to put you in jail like they tried to do with a number of us.
So they're not as radical yet but the problem is that when you give people that kind of power or they hold that kind of power, sooner or later, they're going to use it. One way or another.
R.K.: You know it seems to me that the same applies to technology. If the technology is available or if it can be developed they're going to develop it and they're going to use it.
W.B.: That's right.
R.K.: They're ought to be some controls on that. Got to wrap it up, this has been a great interview, thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Oaklawn: Devil and a Half provides Canchari with first stakes win in Arkansas Breeders'
HOT SPRINGS, Ark.- Devil and a Half gave his jockey, Alex Canchari, the first stakes win of his career Sunday at Oaklawn Park, when he successfully defended his title in the $60,000 Arkansas Breeders' Stakes. Devil and a Half won by six lengths over favorite Humble Smarty, while it was another length back in third to Presidential Colors.
The win was one of three on the card for trainer Mac Robertson.
Canchari won the first race of his career last January at Oaklawn and graduated to journeyman status last month. His score in the Arkansas Breeders' came with the 11th stakes mount of his career.
Devil and a Half ($6.80) settled in fourth on Sunday as Humble Smarty set a controlled pace of 24.27 seconds for the opening quarter and 49.01 for the half-mile. Approaching the quarter pole, Devil and a Half slipped past the leader along the rail, and then proceeded to open up on the field while covering 1 1/16 miles on a track rated fast in 1:46.54.
Devil and a Half has now won 6 of 24 starts and $196,407. He is a 6-year-old gelding by Storm and a Half and races for Jeff Ryan.
Robertson's other winners Sunday came in the second race with Back Forty ($6.20) and the seventh race with I Am the Sheriff ($12.80).

Lori Versaci is the designer behind VERSACIKNITS. Interested in the use and mixture of texture, shape and finishing details, Lori has introduced classic garments with a fashion twist since 2009. Lori works from studios in New Jersey and Maine, where she also enjoys yoga, sailing, her four children, three dogs and husband (not necessarily in that order).

A la mode is a classic V-neck pullover with couture detailing. The front is a little shorter than the back to create a gradual slope, and the back is a bit wider than the front, with a slight billow created by short rows. Wear it with flats or heels, by itself or over a collared shirt, with a big, poofy skirt or with skinny jeans or cropped pants.
Multiple pattern stitches give a la mode lots of texture. Pebble stitch on the bodice gives a baubled look that contrasts with the triangular pattern on the sleeves, which is created by lozenge stitch. The front, back, and sleeves are knit separately and pieced, and the collar, shoulder saddle, and cuffs are done in twin rib.
If you love textured knits and have some experience with pattern stitches, you'll find a la mode to be a fun project that will keep your interest. While the stitches themselves aren't hard, they do demand that you pay attention, so this is not a mindless knit.
The front (a bit narrower than bank), back and sleeves are worked separately from the bottom-up and joined. Short-rows are used to shape sides and back (back is longer than front). The sleeves are set-in with saddles that are sewn between the front and back shoulders. The neckband is picked up around the V-neck after the pieces are sewn together.
22 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches/ 10cm in Pebble Pattern, blocked. Take time to check gauge.

Evan Dietrich-Smith: Questioning Josh McCown is "Ludicrous"
When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took on the Jacksonville Jaguars last Friday, the first-team offense struggled against a strong Jaguars?front-seven. Quarterback Josh McCown threw a pick-6,?managing to complete?2 of 4 passing attempts for 20 yards. He was sacked twice.?Starting center Evan Dietrich-Smith was asked what he thought of fans who were questioning if McCown was the one to lead this offense.
"To sit there and say that this guy all of a sudden?can't do his job?I think is?a little out of control and a little ludicrous. But, for me, I have complete and utter trust in the guy," said Dietrich-Smith, who described McCown as 'relaxed' in the huddle and prepared.?"It was kind of the same thing I saw with?Aaron [Rodgers]. The guy gets in the huddle, you can see it in [his] eyes."
Dietrich-Smith, who spent four seasons in Green Bay playing with Rodgers, praised McCown's leadership and said that the offensive line played a huge role in the offense's performance as a whole.
"Josh is a great leader. The guy's been around the league for a long time. The guy's been around the league for a long time for a reason, because the guy can play football. He knows what he's doing. He's a savy guy. He knows where he's going with the ball. What happened out there was a big part of us as a front not giving him time to work that. We had some positive plays that were negated by penalties on our part. That hurt us and we weren't able to stay on schedule..."

Chris Myers, embroiled in a sex scandal begun six weeks ago by an alleged male escort, resigned today as mayor of Medford Township.
Myers, who served 10 years on council, submitted a letter to the town clerk and manager in which he said his resignation was immediate.
"My work commitments will not allow me to devote the time that is needed in the months ahead," Myers wrote.
Myers was suspended from his job as a vice president at Lockheed Martin's Moorestown campus after the allegations surfaced, according to published reports. Since then, a spokesman for the defense contractor has said the company would have no comment on Myers' status at the company.

Pink Grapefruit Takes a Turn at the Bar:
The Pink Paloma Cocktail
I'm literally sucking grapefruit juice off my finger as I sift through my neglected pile of magazines, which includes the January issue of Bon Appetit (which I've had since early December). And what to my wondering eyes did appear but an image of a giant grapefruit cocktail they claim is a must have for this year. How perfect, they shared their take on the Paloma, a drink as beloved if not more so than the margarita, pending which bar you belly up to. The Paloma is a traditional Mexican cocktail made with grapefruit soda and of course tequila. While Bon App magazine likes theirs with mezcal I stuck to the traditional tequila, skipped the sugar* (since I too am currently counting calories) and pumped up the grapefruit. I juiced half a pink grapefruit, grabbed a can of my new favorite flavor of Perrier-pink grapefruit in lieu of soda for the spritz, some silver tequila, ice and my trusty shaker. You should follow suit, serve some warm gooey queso fresco and chips alongside it, and you'll be enjoying a killer grapefruit-infused happy hour in 10 minutes time. *Note: My pink grapefruits are very sweet on their own. However, if your grapefruit juice is a little bitter you can add a teaspoon of sugar or some simple syrup to your shaker to sweeten it as you like.
The Pink Paloma Cocktail2 ounces of silver tequila 1/3 cup pink grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed (about half a 4- inch pink grapefruit) Wedges of lime 3 ounces pink grapefruit Perrier Coarse salt, optional Use one lime wedge to run around the edge of the glass. Dip into a shallow plate with salt if you want a salted rim. If not skip this step. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add the tequila and the pink grapefruit juice. Shake until chilled. Strain into the salt rimmed glass. Squeeze the lime from a wedge into the drink and stir. Top with soda, and serve with an additional lime wedge for garnish. Enjoy.

Vampire Rain: Altered Species Review
I can't stand the rain.
In Altered Species, you're cast as special-ops agent John Lloyd. He scales buildings and follows ammunition-laden breadcrumb trails to the end of each stage -- which is funny, because your guns simply don't work on the "Nightwalkers," Altered Species' tripartite, zombie-vampire-werewolf enemies. Firearms are only useful when the developers decide to put you at one end of a long hallway with the zompire-wolves at the other end, single file, for a cordial exchange of violence.
One could argue that since Altered Species is a stealth game, you're not supposed to run around guns blazing, anyway -- the point is to sneak. True, but if you get spotted while sneaking around, you die. No exceptions. You can't kill the enemies that spot you, and you can't hide from them. All you can do is let them swat your clumsy rag-doll of a body to death. The fact that you can't even evade the enemy is absurd; once when I was spotted, I ran around the corner, jumped over a railing, and hid under the awning of a nearby building. Still, the Nightwalker knew exactly where I was.
So, if you weren't killed every time you were spotted, would Altered Species still deserve a failing grade? Emphatically, yes. The game begins in a downtown area that looks deceivingly open for exploration. You see an open alleyway right across the street that should serve as a shortcut to your objective, but the development team has a non-negotiable, meandering path laid out for you. What's worse: You revisit the first area no less than four times before the game's conclusion. You're forced to take the same exact path, through the same four-block radius, with the same procession of "enemies" lined up to be taken out one by one.
The cut-scene pacing, acting, and animations are all horribly awkward as well, and in the penultimate stage, you'll trigger a cinematic every five feet. Clear one objective (read: turn valve), cue cut-scene. Walk around the corner, cue two, maybe three cut-scenes (why not, huh?). The running theme in Altered Species is that you don't really play it -- you just show up.
Frequent continuity issues compound things even further. At the end of one stage, I had a ton of ammo and weapons, but I entered the next area with no ammo whatsoever -- keep in mind, this game is supposed to take place over one night, with your character ping-ponging between four areas with a crew of agents. I'm having a hard time trying to place Vampire Rain's ambit of gameplay in an appropriate generation of gaming -- it features PS2-level visuals, the clumsy mechanics of Atari Jaguar games, and the A.I. of Solitaire. Perhaps it's best just to put it in the wise words of the prophetic Missy Elliot: I, too, can't stand the Rain.
| Multiplayer woes
Though I reviewed a retail copy of the game, no players were participating in Altered Species' multiplayer online component at the time of my playthrough. I looked at the leaderboards to see if anyone was playing, and at the time -- several days after release -- only 57 players were accounted for. Ouch!
