The sun is shining, it's warm outside and you're enjoying frozen and iced drinks – must mean summer is here!
Summer is a great time to work on projects you may not otherwise tackle because you're busy working on a sweater, afghan, or holiday gifts, etc. With the arrival of warm weather, small and portable projects like washcloths, dishcloths, scrubbers, and coasters are ideal. Find yourself frequenting the farmers market for fresh produce? Knit or crochet yourself a reusable market bag!
There are so many great ways to enjoy your yarncrafting this summer. Check out some of our previously posted blog posts for some summertime inspiration.

Wherever I go, when I mention I work for Lion Brand Yarn Company, people tell me they would love to learn to knit or crochet. It's not surprising that so many more people want to learn these crafts. Not only do you see a lot of younger people and celebrities knitting in the last couple of years, but the stress busting and health benefits of doing these crafts are beginning to be recognized by more and more people.
For people who want to learn, I suggest first finding your ideal learning method. In many cases that will be sitting side by side with a good teacher, but when that's not possible, there are many other ways. Here are my top four ways to learn–with and without a person by your side.

One of the most important things we do at Lion Brand is offer education through tips, techniques and step-by-step how-tos. That's because we know that learning will enhance your ability to enjoy working with yarn.
This year, we asked ourselves how we can get more deeply involved in teaching knitters and crocheters all over the world to grow their skills in a way that can mimic the classroom setting. That's where Craftsy came in. Craftsy is the premiere online education platform for crafters. We are combining Lion Brand's beautifully designed patterns and quality yarns with Craftsy's know-how in online education and their sophisticated, interactive technology.

Have you noticed that we've changed our label? Over the past year, we've updated the Lion Brand yarn labels to be more helpful for you and your crafting needs. New additions such as a ruler grid, project icons, and care icons have been added to help you select the perfect yarn for your project. You can find the following label icons under the project image on various Lion Brand yarns.
Project Icons indicate what kind of project a particular yarn is ideal for:
|From left to right: scarf, hat, garments, and baby items.
|From left to right: afghans, amigurumi/toys, accessories/purses, and socks.

Darrin, our needle felting teacher at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio in New York City, shares some insights into this fun and sculptural craft technique. Shop felting tools on LionBrand.com by clicking here.
If you knit or crochet, then you know how important it is to follow the pattern. Obtaining the correct gauge, and counting stitches and rows are all required to be certain that your project will turn out like the pattern describes. With needle felting you can forget about all of that!
I hope you will find needle felting liberating as I do, it is refreshing to be free from all of that regulated structure. Take back control of your yarn crafting, and make choices as you go. Often, if I don't like something, I just take my scissors and cut it off of my work. It is very liberating to work in a creative free-form way, where you can decide as you go if you like how your work is turning out.
Needle felting is a popular fiber arts craft that creates felt without the use of water. Fiber artist Eleanor Stanwood first used special needles that were originally used in industrial felting machines in the 1980s to sculpt wool by hand. Now this art form is gaining in popularity.
Frequently, the needles are described as having barbs, spurs, or notches, along the shaft of the needle that grab the layers of fibers and tangle them together as the needle passes through the wool fiber. These notches face toward the tip of the needle and do not pull the fibers out as the needle exits the wool. Once tangled and matted, the felt can be very strong and used for creating fabric, jewelry, 3D sculptures, and just about any thing that you can imagine. This is a very versatile art form, and you can really achieve very fine detailed work.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 14, 2012Reviewer: rachel in MississippiI did submit a review a few months ago which I have to amend. I felt so good when I began to use this product that I took myself off my thyroid medication. While I still have very decent energy levels, a doctor visit a couple of weeks ago revealed that my thyroid had pretty much stopped working! I would recommend this product to anyone still because of the ingredients but would advise them to stay medicated.

Smoke alarms are designed to emit a loud, locally audible or visible signal from a wall or ceiling-mounted unit when smoke or fire is detected by that unit. The signal is intended to be disruptive enough to alert people of the need to evacuate the facility or home due to imminent danger.
The first smoke alarm was invented in 1890 by Francis Robbins Upton. It was not until the 1960s that households could benefit from an inexpensive version, and by the 1980s the latest models were becoming standard equipment in newly constructed homes and apartments. Now, 93 percent of American homes have smoke alarms installed.
There are two primary types of smoke alarms:
- Photoelectric – Photoelectric smoke detectors optically sense smoke through use of sensitive light beams which are deflected by smoke, thus triggering an alarm for evacuation. These alarms work best when a very smoky fire is present.
- Ionic – Ionic alarms are triggered through disruption of electrical current within the detector unit. The otherwise consistent current between two sensor plates is interrupted by smoke through its neutralization of ions within the chamber. When that current is absent, the alarm sounds.
Detectors are generally installed on ceilings or high on walls within inches of the ceiling, as both smoke and heat rise and will most effectively be detected by the alarm at the highest level of the room.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, residential smoke alarms should be installed on each level of the home, inside bedrooms, and just outside sleeping areas. But, each local or state government mandates very specific residential smoke detector placement and the fire marshal or building inspectors are always the best source regarding alarm regulations in a specific geographic area. When properly installed and working, smoke alarms offer the potential of escape from a deadly fire and reduce the risk of death by almost 50 percent.
Besides general failure due to faulty manufacture or improper installation, there are other causes of smoke alarm malfunction. The biggest and most basic concern is that of battery replacement. Homeowners often remove batteries due to a false alarm or fail to annually check functionality of existing batteries. Because they consist of electronic components, smoke detectors themselves do not age well. It is estimated by the National Fire Protection Association that standard smoke alarms require replacement every 10 years.
Beyond the battery and component longevity issues, each of the two main types of smoke alarms respond differently to emergency situations. Ionization alarms have been proven to respond better to flaming fire, yet perform below photoelectric alarms in situations of smoldering, smoky fires.
General Product Failure
According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are several major areas of vulnerability and defect in smoke alarms:
- Children under the age of 16 sleep more deeply and for longer periods of deep sleep than adults and currently available alarms are not reliable for waking children younger than age 16
- Seniors who are hearing impaired may not be reliably notified or alerted to wake in the event of a fire or smoke
- Mobility, awareness and lack of hearing attribute to inability of seniors to react to smoke alarms
- Home configurations may limit effectiveness of smoke alarm signals
According to the International Study of Sublethal Effects of Fire Smoke on Survivability and Health, somewhere between 310,000 and 670,000 people are exposed to smoke within their home environment each year. From these exposures, a confirmed average of 3,300 deaths and 11,500 injuries result. It is estimated that at least half of those deaths were incidences of smoke inhalation that would have not been lethal if the person had been removed from continued exposure.
The National Fire Protection Association reports that the fire death rate for Americans across all ages averages 10.3 deaths per million. For those over the age of 65, the death rate is over twice the average at 25.3 people per million. For those over age 75 years, the death rate increase to 32.9 deaths per million, three times the national average. Preschool children are also highly vulnerable, at 19.9 deaths per million.
Some examples of general product failure of smoke alarms include:
- In November 1983, Electro Signal Lab, Inc of Rockland, Massachusetts recalled 500,000 of its smoke alarms due to malfunction and the alarms' failure to properly alert during presence of smoke or fire.
- In May 2000, Universal Security Instruments, Inc. of Owings Mills, Maryland recalled 34,000 smoke alarms due to their failure to properly operate in the presence of smoke or fire. The detectors became a hazard of their own, as a defective internal capacitor in affected units could burn out, release smoke and melt the alarm cover.
- In May of 2006, approximately 146,000 First Alert® ONELINK™ Battery-Powered Smoke Alarms were recalled due to their rapid draining of batteries, rendering the alarms useless during emergency situations.
- In 1977, MasterLock Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin recalled 32,000 smoke alarms due to one consumer complaint that the alarm was not functioning properly during a routine test. Resulting findings determined that internal device components were not properly cleansed after soldering during assembly.
Below are some examples of death, property damage, and injury legal actions arising from smoke alarm failures or the failure of home owners to ensure the detectors were present and operational:
- In August of 1981, Stephen Butler and his family were awakened by the smell of smoke in their Western New York home. The home was heavily damaged although Butler, his wife, and children safely evacuated the burning structure. While firefighters were working to fight the fire, one of the home's First Alert smoke detectors manufactured by Pittway Corporation finally started to sound its alarm. Only after the damage was done to the home and firefighters had already arrived did any of the alarms function. Stephen Butler pursued damages through the court system of the Western District of New York.
- On December 27, 1976, the Albin Laaperi family suffered the death of three sons and serious injuries to their daughter due to burns over 12 percent of her body. Their Pittway Corporation smoke alarm sold by Sears and properly installed within the home was designed for electrical power only. When an electrical fire started while the family slept, the alarm failed to signal an alert as the lack of electricity due to the fire rendered the alarm useless. Laaperi's complaint was that Sears did not properly notify him at the time of alarm purchase that the alarm would not function in the event of an electrical fire. In March 1986, the Laaperi family was awarded more than $1 million in their legal appeal against Sears for the death of their three sons.

Martin, Curtis R.
This report describes a case of ovarian remnant syndrome in a 13 year old female spayed mixed breed dog. The dog initially presented with a history of bloody vaginal discharge for one year that had become refractory to enrofloxacin. A multi-cystic mass caudal to the left kidney and a large caudal abdominal mass were found and removed. Both were sent to hisopathology and revealed a granulosa cell tumor and uterine stump pyometra. Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) occurs when functional ovarian tissue is left in the body after an ovariohysterectomy OVH. Granulosa cell tumors and uterine stump pyometras, as well as other complications from routine spays, will be reviewed and discussed.

Applications for financial aid have spiked 30 percent since last year in North Carolina as more students seek help amid the economic recession.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Monday that this year's March deadline could be more important than ever. North Carolina is expected to offer about $300 million in need-based aid this year.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or Faffs, are the forms students and their parents must fill out to apply for aid. The forms can be bewildering, so experts are fanning out across the state this weekend to help.
College Foundation Inc. spokesman Ben Kittner said experienced financial aid professionals will volunteer Saturday. Kittner said the "earlier you do it, the better off you are because there's a finite amount of money."

from the Scout Report
"It's easy to see why readers were immediately drawn to Atavist with its sharp aesthetic appeal and integrative approach to graphic storytelling. Its user-friendly interface synthesizes narrative methods developed by predecessors such as Youtube, Instagram, and Wordpress, offering exciting new directions for creative projects like longform essay writing. We think Atavist just may become a staple for anyone looking to create visually appealing and impactful presentations or projects.
"Atavist advertises itself as "a simple web tool for powerful storytelling." For those readers who love to write - and write online - it may be just the service they have been searching for, as it allows authors to upload photos, video, and audio to create an immersive experience. The best way to form a sense of what can be done with Atavist is to select the menu on the top right hand side of the screen and then go to Examples to peruse creative articles that integrate a variety of multimedia possibilities. Interested readers will then want to create an account using Facebook or their email address. From there, the instructions walk through the steps of creating a New Project, including writing text and using the convenient drag and drop functions for various media. Many readers will want to take the Tour, which can be located on the top of the screen after selecting New Project."

Below are two good applications that provide short summaries to long chunks of text. The first one is called Smmry. This is a web based tool for summarizing text. Students can use it to help them with reading comprehension. The way it works is easy: you paste your text, customize some of the tool's settings and click on 'summarize'. Smmry does the rest and provides you with a synopsis of the text containing few topic-focused sentences. The second application is an iPad app called Clipped and is especially ideal for news readers. Clipped summarizes long news articles into bullet points extracting unnecessary information and data leaving you only the gist of the story.

Whether you're writing a novel, maintaining a blog, or keeping a journal, the answers to these problems are mostly the same. Writing is like exercise: adopt a sensible training regimen, apply it consistently, and you'll grow stronger. But it's also like meditation: open your inner doors, let go of distractions, and you'll become more centered. In both cases, the keys are discipline and focus.

I can imagine no better guide through the history and variety of jazz than Langston Hughes, voice of the Harlem Renaissance and poetic interpreter of 20th century black American culture. Hughes' 1955 First Book of Jazz is just that, a short primer with a surprisingly high degree of sophistication for a children's book. I would, in fact, recommend it as an introduction to jazz for any reader. Hughes thoroughly covers the musical context of jazz in brief chapters like "African Drums," "Old New Orleans," "Work Songs," "The Blues," and "Ragtime." He then "discusses the mechanics of jazz," writes author and blogger Ariel S. Winter, including "improvisation, syncopation, percussion, rhythm, blue notes, tone color, harmony, break, riff…." Through it all runs the life and career of Louis Armstrong, whose story, Hughes states "is almost the whole story of orchestral jazz in America."

"When it comes to archival material, most people think of documents, photographs, or the occasional news clip. Rarely, however, do home videos come to mind. We love that the Home Movie Registry not only directs its attention toward the preservation and collection of amateur films, but that through the collaborative efforts of archives and museums across the country, material in the HMR may be easily accessed by anyone. We encourage readers to explore the intimate family moments captured here, and the many ways that home movies can be used to shed light on important components of American culture and history.
"Since the 1920s, home movies have been produced by everyday people, documenting daily activities and offering a wealth of information about twentieth century American life. The Home Movie Registry, a curated search engine from the Center for Home Movies (CHM), is an innovative project designed to bring together the swarth of amateur films digitized and collected by participating archives. The About section of the site details the portal's extensive efforts and provides useful context. From there, readers may like to explore the two Exhibits currently featured on the site, one of which highlights Home Movies and the African American Community, while the other provides a look at Home Movies and Television. Readers may also simply scroll down the fascinating list of amateur-made films on the home page, which illuminate such ephemera as a 1950s Chicago picnic and a 1975 homemade travel documentary. For more targeted research, historians, artists, documentarians, students, and others will find an excellent search bar for easy filtering through the Registry's video troves."

Bregor (Rollplay) by jeremiahconceptWatch
©2013-2016 jeremiahconcept
Ryan's character
So unrealistic... not a single foot of rope
He looks badass. R.I.P.
RIP bregor
This is absolutely perfect. Rip Bregor
This made quite the impression on the RollPlay cast.
JP~"I actually envisioned Bregor to look like this, in my mind this is what the character looked like"
Can't get much higher praise than that, regardless I'll still say this is awesome and can't wait for any future work you do RollPlay or otherwise
Simply awesome!
But still, bow is in his hand - it's kinda off - should be at his feet ^^
R.I.P. Bregor
EPIC! A fine tribute to bregor!
good work on this series, loving the dramatic lighting and the textures
the head feels a little small in proportion to the rest of the body, or maybe the torso is too long (i notice this both here and in the vincent painting).
the feels... the feeels T_________________T
Question, you going to do all the characters to date including new characters?
mmm yup, I'll draw Abigael once the party gets their dragonsbane weapon and for Ryans new character.. dunno I'll probably do it once we get to know him a bit better
nice, RIP brogor
He should be standing on top of a pile of broken bows
Already looks amazing! D:

In Cooking Mama World Kitchen, Mama and friends have a whole new look given the game's upgrade to full 3D graphics. By utilizing the Wii Remote as a universal kitchen utensil, players can simulate actual cooking by chopping, grating, slicing, stirring and rolling their way through all new recipes that range from parfait to shrimp au gratin. Best of all, kitchen mistakes during meal preparation result in comedic mini-game surprises; for example, if you flip a burger too high, you can control Mama as she rushes in to save the day by catching it in her apron. Finally, a new game play mechanic integrates traditional Wii Remote utensil play with additional rhythm and motion that makes cooking easier and more enjoyable.

In my custom theme im developing I want there to be about 10 posts on the blog page. I've noticed that in the admin you can set the desired amount of posts to show. I'm hoping someone knows of a write up that explains how to make the extra posts (after exceeding your set amount in the admin) fall onto a second, third, fourth, ect.. page. I also need to make the secondary pages be able to be navigated to with a numbered list at the bottom of the blog page.
I know this is very basic but I haven't had much luck finding write ups on this.
Thanks so much everyone!

The incandescent poems in Once, the second collection by an astonishing and formidable poet, explore loss, violence, and recovery. Facing a mother's impending death, O'Rourke invokes a vanished childhood of American houses, wet / kids moving through them in Spandex bathing suits; / inside, sandwiches with crusts cut off. But the future hangs ominously over this summer paradise: not just the death of O'Rourke's mother but the stark civic traumas faced by American citizens in the twenty-first century. The future, O'Rourke writes, is all still / a dream, a night sweat to be swum off / in a wonderland of sand and bread. These poems are shadowed by illness, both civic and personal, and by the mysterious currents of grief. What emerges over the course of the volume is a meditation not only on a daughter's relationship with her mother but also on a citizen's to her nation. Throughout, Once examines the forces that shape war, divorce, and death, exploring personal culpability and charting uncertain new beginnings as the speakers seek to build homes in a shattered land and find whole selves amid broken, thwarted relationships. from "Frontier" . . . At times, I felt sick, intoxicated by BPA and mercury. At other times I fasted and the stars stumbled clear from the vault. Up there, the universe stands around drunk. I hope the Lord is kind to us, for we engrave our every mistake . . .

CINCINNATI – There are laws designed to protect Tri-State residents from dog attacks, and there are dog owners who flout them.
That's the everyday frustration of police and animal control officers who have to pick up the pieces after a brutal attack like the one in Westwood Wednesday.
Zainabou Drame, 6, is in critical condition after two dogs described as pit bulls attacked her while she was playing outside with her brother in the 2900 block of Aquadale Lane at about 6:15 p.m.
She was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital with massive facial injuries.

Pit bulls were banned in Cincinnati for about nine years until city council revoked the ban in May 2012. Cincinnati, like most municipalities, requires that dogs involved in attacks against people or other pets be registered as vicious or dangerous.
WCPO Insiders can learn more about the laws in place to prevent attacks like Wednesday's and read why officials say meat-headed owners aren't listening.

READ MORE: 911 call: 'There's a pit bull eating a baby' RELATED: Do you know pit bull rules? Ordinances vary
Officials in the city manager's office were still trying to determine late Thursday whether the dogs who mauled the girl were registered as vicious or dangerous.
State and local laws are on the books that require vicious or dangerous dogs to have microchips implanted under their skin to track them. In Cincinnati, dogs deemed vicious – defined as having been involved in an attack and also bred as fighting dogs – have to have a microchip and a tattoo.
Additional laws require leashes, enclosures rather than chains and warning signs and annual registration.
On paper, it all sounds good. In reality, meat-headed owners will do what meat-headed owners will do, according to animal control officers in Ohio and Kentucky.
"Ordinances are only as good as the people who own the animals and how responsible they're going to be," said Dan Evans, director of the Kenton County Animal Shelter and supervisor of the county's animal control. "You can have the best ordinances on the books, but they depend on the capability of the owners to follow them."
The problem with many dog owners is forgetting to treat them like canines and not people, he said.
"They're not human beings. They have teeth," Evans said. "They don't speak to tell us when they're angry. Dogs can bite. I don't care if it's a pit bull or a beagle. If they have teeth, they have the potential of biting."
Butler County animal control officers have already responded to 65 dog bites through May, according to Dep. Kurt Merbs, animal control supervisor.
"It's been crazy bad this year, more so than any other year," the seven-year veteran said. "In Middletown alone, it's pretty much a dog bite once or twice a week. Warm weather makes it worse.
Merbs said Butler County, which does not have a pit bull ban, has done everything it can to prevent dog attacks, including a lot of lectures and some citations of dog owners with rickety enclosures.
They have the usual array of leash laws and recommendations to spay or neuter pets.
"Prevention is one of the hardest things because you can't prevent things all of the time," he said. "We go out and talk to people all day long, but we have no power to make people fix their fences."
Merbs attributes the rise in bites to a rise in abandoned dogs.
"We're seeing a lot of people having trouble taking care of them or leaving them behind or turning them loose," he said. "We're having a lot of them where the dog just had littered or was in heat. It's all signs that owners should be recognizing."
The officers were hesitant to wade into the debate about whether pit bulls should be banned, an issue that is sure to be rekindled with the attack on Zainabou.
But at least one pit bull advocate wants to head off any momentum toward new bans as misguided.
"Local councils and lawmakers are finding out the bans don't work. It takes a lot of taxpayer money to confiscate them and more to deem a dog a pit bull," said Tracy Padgett, president of ABC's of Bullies, a non-profit organization created to cultivate an understanding of American Pit Bull Terriers and other breeds.
Owners careless enough to allow vicious dogs to be in contact with others are probably not going to pay attention to the law, she said.
"Statistics have shown that having breed-specific legislation doesn't help no matter what they do," Padgett said.
She favors laws that target owners of dogs that have been involved in violent attacks, she said, and for laws that generally make owners accountable for their dogs' actions.
Long term, "I think education is key. It's unfortunate a lot of people just don't know about discounted spay or neuter clinics. Whether it be getting programs into the schools to talk to children or high schoolers, we need to some how, some way talk about being responsible dog owners," she said.
