So, after having a long think and a lot of asking, I've come to the conclusion that PyGame is not a good choice for game development, at least for what I want. PyGame makes you do a lot of the boring stuff all yourself. Maybe that's because it's based on SDL, which is what SDL is like. PyGlet, on the other hand, is AWESOME! But PyGlet isn't made for making games. It's perfectly capable of it, don't get me wrong, but there's a better choice out there, based on PyGlet, and it's called cocos2d. Now, Cocos2d is awesome. I've never used it for iOS, never used Cocos2d-x, never used any Cocos2d version other then the Python version. Now, I'm coming from LÖVE(and LibGDX, which I'm going to use for larger scale stuff and/or porting some games over to the Web and/or Android), which has a big community. Cocos2d for Python... doesn't. Fortunately, there is this forum! For LÖVE, there are a huge number of libraries, one of which is for Achievements! I couldn't find a library for Cocos2d that does this, after quite a lot of googling. So, do you know of one? Really all I need to it do would be exactly what this library does! It has achievement icons, unlockable achievements, when you unlock one it's scrolls in at the side, makes a little noise, and scrolls back, and it's REALLY SIMPLE TO USE!!
Also, if I were to post a game here, where would I post it? In Game Development? In Completed Scripts?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

Stream Physical Assessment
From 2002 to 2003, a comprehensive assessment of the physical conditions of streams in Fairfax County was conducted. The completion of this project represents a major milestone in the county's watershed planning program, and will provide necessary information for the development of management plans for the county's thirty watersheds.
The purpose of the stream physical assessment was to collect information on and document the following:
- Habitat conditions (habitat assessment)
- Impacts on the stream from specific infrastructure and problem areas (infrastructure inventory)
- General stream characteristics
- Geomorphic (the physical state of the stream channel) classification of stream type
The stream assessment was comprised of a habitat assessment
and an inventory of physical stream features based on protocols developed
specifically for this project. The habitat assessment (scoring of various
habitat parameters) and the inventory (characterization of physical
features such as pipelines, utilities, and buffers) together provide a
baseline of overall stream conditions, which can be further extrapolated
to indicate the condition of the associated watershed.

Discover France Adventures
Title: Founder and general manager
Est.: 1994 | www.discoverfrance.com
If trekking through the countryside of France is your idea of a dream vacation, then Discover France Adventures is your ticket to a satisfying holiday.
Discover France Adventures, based in Scottsdale, is an adventure travel company that sells self-guided cycling and hiking tours throughout France and Europe. Discover France caters to clients who are seeking a more challenging experience. Not only do self-guided tours allow for more hands-on sightseeing, the price is often half the cost of guided tours.
The company got its start when founder Loren Siekman moved to Paris. Siekman received his bachelor's degree in construction management from Arizona State University and worked for four years at an engineering/construction company before quitting and moving to the City of Lights. There he met his future wife, Florence.
"Bottom line — boy quits job and travels around the world, lands in Paris. Gets a job, works, and meets girl. Boy and girl decide life is better together and move back to the USA and start a business based on mutual interests," Siekman says.
The couple purchased a travel agency in Tempe, and in 1994 switched gears to focus only on the adventure travel market. Launching a business in a market that was largely unknown in the United States was a risk, but one that has ultimately paid off for the entrepreneur.
"I am an adventurer and traveler, as well as a competitive cyclist, so my business is all about my passions," Siekman says.
The company has six employees and two offices in the U.S. and France. Surviving tough times despite factors that are out of his control (terrorism, airline failures, economic downturn, etc.) has strengthened the company.
"After 15 years, we have seen so many businesses in the travel industry come and go … our longevity is starting to speak much louder about our operation," Siekman says.
Wise business decisions and smart planning have also kept them ahead. The Siekmans sought the help of a family member to co-sign on a Small Business Administration loan to get the business started, but paid the loan off as soon as they could. They then began reinvesting in the company to avoid borrowing more in the future.
"We've always tried to have a diversified market base, so we have clients from different regions, different countries and different demographics. We also save our nickels and so far, have been able to draw cash in slow times," Siekman says.
When asked about the future of Discover France Adventures, Siekman has one word: "grow." His plans include creating a multilingual Web site that will better reach the European market, expand business in the thriving Australia and New Zealand markets and target the "baby boom demographic with more challenging trips, more multisport trips, and more adventures that are unique experiences," Siekman says. "There is a great future for active and adventure travel. They want to feel a part of wherever they're going instead of just passing by."

Latest Oscar submissions: The Deep for Iceland, Mushrooming for Estonia; Made In Ash for Slovakia
Iceland has selected Baltasar Kormakur's real-life adventure drama The Deep to represent the country in the Oscar race.
The Deep had its world premiere in Toronto. The film is based on the true story of an Icelandic man who miraculously survived when a fishing boat sank off the south coast of Iceland in 1984.
The Icelandic Film and TV Academy voted on the entry. Iceland's last Oscar nominee was Fridrik Thor Fridriksson for Children Of Nature in 1992.
Meanwhile, Estonia has picked Toomas Hussar's Mushrooming. The debut feature premiered at Karlovy Vary before also showing in Toronto. The story follows a politician who tries to take a break from work by mushroom picking, only to get lost in the wilderness while a media scandal is brewing.
In Slovakia, the Slovak Film and Television Academy has put forward Made In Ash by Iveta Grófová.

MP for Nelson weighs in on controversial electoral map
BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko says he's disappointed in the electoral boundary changes recently tabled by the commission charged with the task of redesign.
"I think this is a disaster," he says. "This report is contrary to what they (the boundary commission) heard when they were here. The message was that we keep our communities together, that you don't separate Nelson from Castlegar for example."
Just back from Russia where he attended the Asia Pacific Parliamentary Forum with over 300 delegates from 28 countries, Atamanenko returned to add his voice of concern on a new electoral map which is widely criticized.
The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission reviews the boundaries of the federal ridings every 10 years making adjustments based on changes in population size and distribution. The proposal takes into account British Columbia's increase in population from 3,907,738 in 2001 to 4,400,057, as captured in the 2011 census. BC gained six new ridings this time — one on Vancouver Island and five in the Lower Mainland.
The Kootenay-Columbia riding would include Nelson, Kaslo, Salmo, Creston and RDCK areas A through G. Revelstoke and Golden will also be included in the riding that extends to the Alberta border.
Atamanenko, who has been elected as the MP for the Southern Interior riding three times since the 2006 election, says
"Adding Nelson and Kaslo to Kootenay-Columbia, it makes it even more difficult for the MP over there. That area is huge to start with," he says.
A new riding called South Okanagan-West Kootenay will contain Castlegar, New Denver, Silverton, Slocan and Nakusp along with RDCK areas H, I, J and K.
"This is another huge population base, so my immediate question is how do we service people there," he says. "How do you service another 30,000 people and maintain he quality of service here."
The MP has a full-time office in Castlegar and a part-time office in Oliver, but his assistant only gets to visit that location once a month.
With the commission report handed over to the House of Commons January 28, the next step has federal MPs submitting their comments to the commission. A final report will be tabled in June.
Atamanenko says this issue is a priority for him as he works toward changing what's proposed.
"I will appear before the committee and try and convince those in the House of Commons that this is not right for us. I will be doing all I can," he says.
The changes could have political implications in the BC Interior. It chops the NDP-dominated riding of West Kootenay in two and attaches its remnants to two Conservative-held ridings, this is not lost on the MP.
"It's certainly a challenge. You take Nelson and area and they've been really strong supporters of the NDP," he says.
Nelson has been part of five different riding configurations since 1917. From 1917 to 1984 the riding was known as Kootenay West. Between 1988 and 1997 it was changed to Kootenay West-Revelstoke. In the 1997 election it was known as West Kootenay-Okanagan before being changed to Kootenay-Boundary-Okanagan for the 2000 election. Nelson has been part of the Southern Interior riding since 2004.
Only two MPs have been based in Nelson since 1917 — Progressive Levi William Humphrey (elected 1921) and NDP Lyle Kristiansen (elected 1980 and 1988).

Update IIwe've added even more features to enhance SERPs read about the update with things like personal search status and Insights for search integrated into Webmaster Tools and SERPs of the major 3 search engines
UpdateWell thats funny... @merrillg pointed out this is the data from the anchor text tab in the links section... makes sense its there considering it is anchor text but it shows in the keywords feed and not the keywords section which is where i got confused... I was wrong about it not being published anywhere else but this data is still pretty important... I cant believe I didn't notice that tab before... I guess I was distracted by the link data... sorry :(
OriginalThe keyword data that Google Webmaster Tools shows you is only part of the data that exists for your site... its up to 200 internal keywords, this comes from your pages and you can manipulate it based on the keywords you use in your content. But thats not whole story, what about that all important anchor text? Now of course you could go look at Open Site Explorer but wouldn't it be great to see what Google sees as your anchor text? I found the other keywords, the external keyword data hiding in a little known feed in webmaster tools... now aside from this guy who sounds a little like a consparicy nut and a short mention in the feed documentation nobody is talking about this data... Unfortunately i couldn't get pass through authentication so you have to put in your password but thanks to my new extension SEO Site Tools for Google Chrome you can navigate this data all from the safety of your favorite browser :)

Hair Apparent: Insects Made Of Human Hair
Uh, that's not a butterfly. That's a butterfly sculpture made out of hair. Seattle artist Adrienne Antonson creates "resourceful, sustainable, meticulous and pretty" insects using only human hair and glue.
Antonson decided to work in hair because, "As an artist with a deep interest in sustainable and self-supporting systems, human hair seems the most immediate and true material. I find the historical implications and various uses of human hair fascinating. I am also intrigued with the attraction/repulsion response the material evokes. It is sentimental, challenging and honest."

Chen's late trouble costly as O's fall in Boston
BOSTON -- This wasn't the way the Orioles wanted to start a six-game road trip, particularly on the heels of a pair of losses at home to the Minnesota Twins. But here they are after Monday's 3-1 loss to Boston, under .500 for the first time since the end of the 2011 season.
"We might spend [Tuesday's off-day] crying as a team, holding each other's hands, just walking through the Prudential Center, just crying," center fielder Adam Jones, who scored the lone run on a solo homer, joked of the team's reaction to having a losing record.
"It's seven games into the season. It's not like we just got blown out. We got beat. One-run games, two-run games. It can go here. It can go there. We're playing good baseball. We've got 155 more to go."
The Orioles (3-4), who lost their fourth game in the last 13 against Boston, came in having scored 37 runs, with the Red Sox fresh off a 13-0 rout of Toronto. But offense was at a premium Monday afternoon, and the O's struck out 11 times in some tough shadows at Fenway Park, leaving no margin for error from starter Wei-Yin Chen, who served up a decisive seventh-inning three-run homer.
"Compared with last outing, I feel like I'm getting better and better," Chen, who was superb for most of the afternoon but still saw his winless streak climb to nine, said through interpreter Tim Lin. "But the baseball god is not with me today."
It hasn't been with the Orioles -- kings of close-game wins last season -- much lately either. Baltimore has a three-game losing streak it will take into Wednesday's game, while the Red Sox (5-2) -- who have won nine consecutive home openers -- are off to the club's best start since going 6-1 in 2006.
"We just never put [Red Sox starter Clay] Buchholz on his heels much," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of his club, which allowed Buchholz to toss seven scoreless innings. "We didn't really put a lot of pressure on him, and he handled it well. He pitched real well. He and Chen matched up and locked up in a good one. You knew it was going to be a one-pitch fine margin. [Chen] gives up a ball that trickles through the middle of the diamond and a fly ball [out] in most places that falls for a double, and he makes a mistake."
That mistake was actually a pretty good pitch, in a location Chen said he wanted, that Daniel Nava drove over the Green Monster for a three-run shot.
"Obviously I was not trying to hit a home run," said Nava, who has gone yard in back-to-back games for Boston. "It just worked out like that. To contribute and get us the lead in a tight game after the way Buch pitched, it's something that anyone who stepped into the box in that situation was looking to do."
Chen, who took the mound in the seventh having allowed just three hits, surrendered a leadoff single to Dustin Pedroia, and Mike Napoli followed with a double off the center-field wall to put Boston in a threatening spot. After striking out Will Middlebrooks and causing some Orioles bullpen activity, Nava drove Chen's 1-1 fastball to snap the scoreless tie and bring on right-hander Tommy Hunter.
"I don't think that was a mistake to Nava," Chen said. "It was a mistake to Napoli on a 3-2 curveball."
Either way, it spelled the end of Chen's day, tagging him with a loss in a 107-pitch effort that just fell short of Buchholz. Boston's best starter by the end of the 2012 season, the right-hander didn't have a clean inning until the sixth but managed to keep Baltimore's bats in fits when it mattered.
The Orioles put the leadoff man on three times in the first four frames, and in the third, they got a pair of two-out singles from Manny Machado and Nick Markakis. But Buchholz struck out cleanup hitter Jones on a curveball, one of eight strikeouts to help offset the Orioles' three hits and four walks.
"He uses all of his pitches and he knows how to use both sides of the plate," catcher Matt Wieters said of Buchholz. "He's a guy that you're not going to be able to guess with, because he can throw any ball in any count and he's a guy who knows how to pitch. And he's got good stuff on top of that."
The O's put another leadoff man on with Wieters' seventh-inning walk, and he advanced to second on Ryan Flaherty's groundout to mark just the second time the team had a runner in scoring position. But No. 9 batter Steve Pearce, still looking for his first hit this season along with Flaherty, struck out to keep it scoreless.
Chen kept pace with Buchholz for most of his outing, retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced and not allowing a hit until Shane Victorino's single to start the fourth inning. Wieters erased that by throwing out his fourth baserunner in five tries this season and Chen lasted 6 1/3 innings, exiting after Nava's homer.
The Orioles, who have played rotating day and night games as part of three Opening Day celebrations in three different cities, will use Tuesday's off-day to regroup and get ready for another pair of games in Boston and then a weekend set in New York.
"I think this off-day is very much needed," Wieters said. "The opening week can be very difficult with day game, night game, day game, things like that, so it's nice to get a day off and get back in that normal schedule like it will be for the rest of the year."

During sex and one partner is on top of the other (usually works better when woman is on top) and instead of bouncing she just strides your groin. It is usually when she's really into it and she's about to climax. There is less of an in and out motion and just a basic stride.
I think that hottie from Wrightwood was really into it, because she was groin striding the shit out of me last night. I have chafing scars on my hips! Ahh the good ole groin stride strikes again.

In 1990, the Muslim population was 152,200, or 2.2% of the Switzerland's resident population. A surprising development for those who know that in the early seventies there were less than 20,000 Muslims living in Switzerland, Islam is now the second largest religion in Switzerland, after Christianity.
According to the latest figures by various Islamic associations or organizations in the country, the number of Muslims living in it is now around 200,000 to 250,000. To put it another way, Islam represents 2.8 to 3.5% of the settled population of Switzerland.
The Muslim population is spread across Switzerland, with 73% living in urban centers. Whereas twenty years ago there were only three mosques in Switzerland, (two in Geneva and one in Zurich), there are now almost 90.
This development in Switzerland is of course most pleasing, as is that in the rising Muslim population in various other countries of the world. As promised by Allah in the Qur'an, the moral values of Islam will soon come to prevail across the world and, insha'Allah, everyone will clearly see the abundance, beauty and happiness that Islam brings to the world.

After I purchased one in November 2011 I thought the light produced by 4 LEDs was pleasant for most purposes with a working distance of 2 to 6 feet. By August I thought the light was too dim. Having purchased 2 more I started using another. I just compared the output of the first one with a unused one both with 4 LEDs lit. The used one has 31% of the light output of the unused one. Both draw about 100 ma. I figure I have used the first one less than 500 hours. The MCM description says it should have a life of 100,000 hours. I still gave it a good value rating because the price was only $2.30 and the worn out LEDs could be removed. This is not the first LED flashlight with a short life. Several years ago I purchased 3 Chinese flashlights using a single AAA cell. Initially the light output was considerably more than I expected. I used 2 and left one unused. After about 3 years I stopped using them because the output was less than 10% of the initial output.

I had a similar one lately. too bad, the plastic and head band detoriated rather fast, due to high body temperature and sweat. This one is to early to determine, but lighting is good and price is right.

You can't beat these for the price. I bought two on sale for $2.99 for my kids. After they got them, I kept borrowing them for tasks around the house I need both hands and a beam of light for replacing wall switches. I ended up getting two more so I could have one and put the other in my tackle box.

by jimh

The three intensity levels are nice, depending on your need. The light adjusts easily up and down. I only wish that the headband was a little larger. I have it all the way out and it is still a little tight.
by robeyw
on 2/7/2012
Value based on $3.99 price. 4 LEDs light with the first push of the switch, 4 more with the second, 4 more with the third, then a strobe of all, then off. The strobe is a nuisance, and the number of LEDs lit (4-8-12) is not good for conserving battery life. 1-4-12 would be more reasoable but I found a good use for the existing arrangement. 4 LEDs is bright enough for most purposes but the beam angel of 19.4 degrees is often insufficient. I bent the LED leads (which are soft) to point the left 2 LEDs left, the right 2 LEDs right, the top 2 LEDs up, and the bottom 2 down while checking the beam pattern. So the second switch press doubles with of the beam and the third doubles the height. (First remove the aluminumized plastic that serves no optical purpose. Use needle nosed pliers to neatly bend the leads keeping the plastic base of the LEDs where they are. One problem is poor solder joints between the LEDs and their circuit board. 2 LEDs were flickering before I touched them and one came loose on both leads as I was bending it. The problem is dirty pads. After scraping the copper pads clean they soldered easily. I use high discharge rate NimH cells to fully light all LEDs when needed and prevent high operating costs.

Works great when you need both hands to work in dark environments
by dmcurry
on 1/22/2012
The design is ok, but don't expect this lamp to stand up to hard use. It's nice and bright and the on/off switch is easy to operate. The case is fairly flimsy and certainly isn't water tight. The ratchet that sets the angle of the light will fail quickly if you flex it too often, so it's better to just leave the light pointing straight forward. All that said, it's hard to argue with the price.
by pcliotis
on 12/25/2011
I received 2 of these and they both had the same problem. When I inserted three Rayovac batterries they failed to work. Some investigation showed that there is a slight ridge inside the holder that would catch the edge of the battery and prevent it from making contact on the positive end. I used an exacto knife to trim the ridge and the light then worked fine.
by thegraber
on 12/19/2011
Hands free light is handy and adequate for most projects. Has settings for low medium and high as well as strobe function. Draws 110ma / 200ma / 270 ma. from 3 AAA's which means 10 hrs. worst case on alkaline cells. Top over-the-head strap is a bit short and may not accommodate larger head sizes. Not quite sure why you need a strobe on your head, unless maybe you're hoping to be a target; but even low illumination will most likely get the job done if you're avoiding working in the dark.

A BRAVE girl who battled through 64 major operations has inspired a music festival which raised more than £2,000 for a Worcester children's hospice which provides a lifeline to children battling life limiting illnesses.
Georgia Bristow, called 'G' and nicknamed 'titanium' because of her toughness inspired a music festival called 'GFEST' which raised £2,055 for Acorns Children's Hospice in Bath Road, Worcester.
The 12-year-old of Carrock Fell, off Borrowdale Drive, Warndon, has suffered with meningitis, hydrocephalus and severe epilepsy and has had 64 major operations.
Around 600 people attended the festival on May 31 at the Goodrest Tavern, enjoying a bucking bronco, bouncy castles, ice cream van, tombola, raffle, local motorbike clubs, a gyroscope and music.
Mike Skilbeck, a Worcester singer and life skills coach who helped organise the event with landlord Bill Salmon, said: "The atmosphere was electric and emotional."
Local musicians performed including Amanda Till, Esther Turner, Vince Ballard, Terry Walls, The Roving Crows, Dirty Rumours plus Voices Unlimited- a 80 plus strong vocal group who performed many songs including an emotional version of Miley Cyrus`s The Climb, which brought the Bristow family to tears, as well as dozens of others. Finally Mike Skilbeck performed an original song written with Terry Walls called Sunny Day, which will be sold online with all profits going to Acorns and he also sang an acoustic version of Georgia's song 'Titanium'.
The day raised £2,055 which has been handed over to Acorns and Marstons Brewery should be issuing a further cheque matching that total later this year.
There are already requests for artists to perform at next year's GFEST which is booked in for May 30 next year.
Sharon Bristow, Georgia's mum, said: "Georgia is so excited to be raising money for Acorns. That is her focus, giving something back. I want to let them know I'm really grateful for everything they do. I can't fault them."
She said Acorns provided continuous support to her family, including her son, Will, aged nine, and formed a "backbone" for her family, allowing them to get a good night's sleep while giving them the peace of mind that their daughter is always well lo

Hello, I've used arrays in the past, but I've used them in a different way. I used to use them to replace strings that I want, but now I want to print arrays. My problem is below.I would like to change the [0], [1], [2], [3], .etc to an actual name. So [0] being something like [id], [1] being [username], .etc.
Is there a way to make this.
Turn into this.
Here is my PHP code.
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database");
if($mysqli->connect_errno) {
echo "Error";
$id = $_GET['id'];
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 'id'");
$accounts = array();
while(($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_BOTH))) {
$accounts[] = $row['id'];
$accounts[] = $row['username'];
$accounts[] = $row['country'];
$accounts[] = $row['gender'];
Hi there,I'm not sure what your means and I can't open your attachments.But I guess you want to build a multidimensional array,yes?If so,I think this is what you want,
while(($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_BOTH))) {
$accounts[$row['id']]['id'] = $row['id'];
$accounts[$row['id']]['username'] = $row['username'];
$accounts[$row['id']]['country'] = $row['country'];
$accounts[$row['id']]['gender'] = $row['gender'];
then you can output them like:
foreach($accounts as $id => $row)
foreach($row as $name=>$val)
echo $name,'=',$val,'<br/>';
Hope that helps.
Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for. And by the way. Is it possible to change the "Array" word in the beginning to something else? Or is that required?
Is the "Array" that displayed in your pictures? If so,it can't be changed,because it was outputed by the method 'print_r()'.
Hi therockers, welcome to the forums.
I may be off base, but my take was you wanted to replace the default numeric keys with more meaningful associative keys, not create a multi-dimensional array.
@blue_sky Thanks. That's all I wanted to know. If it can't be change, I'll just work with it. Thanks a lot.
@Mittineague Thanks for the warm welcome and I know. I only needed a small part of the information that blue_sky gave me. I found out that all I needed was to do something like this.
while(($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_BOTH))) {
$accounts['id'] = $row['id'];
$accounts['username'] = $row['username'];
$accounts['country'] = $row['country'];
$accounts['gender'] = $row['gender'];
And it prints out what I was anticipating. Thanks a ton lot to both of your replies.
Don't know if I am able to doubt post or if it violates the Terms Of Service, but I can't edit my post.
EDIT: How would I go about printing arrays that look something like this?
Don't tell me you didn't read the FAQ :eek: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/faq.php?faq=etiquette#faq_editingposts
Actually, that's not an array (backets []) but an object (braces {}) and most likely JSON
Thanks for the help. Now I know the difference between which creates brackets and which creates curly braces. Thanks so much. And no, I didn't read the FAQ. As you can see I'm new so I didn't know if the FAQ had what I was asking.
That can be simplified to:
while(($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC))) {
$accounts[] = $row;
The first line sets up $accounts as any empty array, so that it it's being used in a foreach loop, the foreach loop won't complain about not being given an array to work with.
The data from FaceBook is JSON.
you can use json_encode and json_decode in php to work with that datatype.

I've saved the best photos of Nice for last. Next to the conference center stands Sacha Sosno's Tête au Carré, though most of the English-speaking engineers at the TCG meeting referred to it as the "blockhead building." It's apparently the administration building for the public library system in Nice, but it has to be the oddest-looking library administration building ever. Really, where else have you seen an 80-foot-tall square head?

The things I do for my fellow barbecue lovers.
This was my deck when I commenced smoking the First Timer's Ribs yesterday. I gave up on the shovel right away, the snow was crusty and did not want to be moved. It was a beautiful day otherwise, thirty-something temps and no wind on the deck. First sunglasses weather in a couple weeks, too.
I got the WSM started, but feared the air flow to the bottom vents might be affected by the banked snow. I left the lower vents wide open to promote airflow - mistake #1. Mistake #2 was failing to clean out some grease in the bottom that flared and made the ribs sooty. I was doing an experiment with WSM cooking without a water pan - results will be posted at TVWBB.
I did a comparison with the three slabs from the cryovac package. Two were cooked with the First Timers recipe, the third was done using the Best Ribs In The Universe seasonings, although lack of time meant a hotter cook. The First Timers are toward the front and BRITU's in the back. I used the BBQ Baffle for temperature control on the kettle.
Short-cut time. I used my gasser to sear the sauce on the ribs following smoking (sorry Clay). BRITU in front, First TImers in back. The dark looking ribs in the back were the ones from the WSM where the grease flared up.
Finished product. They look good enough to eat. My family was split on the ribs, which I think means that the First Timer's Ribs held their own in a head-to-head showdown with the Best Ribs In The Universe. No time for pictures of the plated meal. I should post my wife's Baked Mac & Cheese recipe sometime.
Some additional thoughts on the Lemon Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce. I followed the recipe and thought that the 6 TBSPs of lemon juice was too much. Although the sauce worked well cooked on the ribs, to my palate it had too much lemon flavor for a dipping sauce. So if you make the sauce, start light on the lemon juice and add more to your taste.

REDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. -A Ferndale man came face-to-face with a crook breaking into his home.
The homeowner fired shots at the intruder. He missed but later provided police with two major leads: A detailed description of the suspect and his silver pickup truck.
"It took me a second to realize why the vehicle looked familiar, but as soon as I remembered the story it clicked," said Marcel Nistor.
Nistor had just read about the stolen vehicle on ClickOnDetroit.com. He had seen it with his own eyes in Redford Township. The 32-year-old suspect, Jeff Reiher, was behind the wheel and pulling into a gas station.
"Definitely got my blood rushing," Nistor said.
He called police. An arrest was made within minutes.
"It felt great," said Nistor.
Nistor now is being honored by Ferndale police. He is being given a citizen award.
He is a mechanic who can say he helped police take down a criminal. He wants to lead by example.
"I just feel like we need more citizens to step up and do the right thing and turn people in who are obviously criminals. They shouldn't be on the street," he said.

Installment 9 in an opinion series by Linda Bradshaw about blogging and SEO.
So in a nutshell, if you find yourself getting only very low paying jobs, or no jobs at all, and you want that to change, then I encourage you to consider the techniques that you are using on your blog. Are you using a domain that already had PR when you bought it? Are you using a web hosting service that has your domain on a "bad neighborhood" server? Are you spinning/scraping content? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" and you want to start getting better paying jobs, then I suggest that you take a hard look at that and seriously consider changing your techniques so that the answer to all of the questions are "no."
I believe that if you make those changes, and market your blogs so that you earn good Google page rank that you will find yourself being offered better paying blogging opportunities. I don't know about you, but I would rather type one 200 word post for $10 or $15 or $20 dollars each than have to type twenty 200 word posts for $1 each. After all, for every post that I am paid to type I have to type a second non-paid post, and if I am typing one post for $20, then I am only typing one non-paid post, but if I am typing twenty posts for $1, then I am also typing twenty non-paid posts. And that, my friends, is a lot of typing!
The more you alter your blog to more closely follow the guidelines that Google likes, in the long run you may find yourself making more money with less effort. And in the end, isn't that a good thing?
Please keep in mind the Google Guidelines about blogging for money. I am not going to go into those guidelines here.
So, I hope that these posts helps you in some way to scrutinize your blogging techniques and see if making any adjustments to your blogs would help you in any way in your quest to generate more income from your blogs. I wish all of you the best of luck in your pursuit of good Google Page Rank and income from your blogs!

State Issues Cyanobacteria Warning for Cobbett's Pond, Windham
Concord, NH – An elevated cyanobacteria cell concentration has been measured in Cobbett's Pond, Windham. Samples revealed that the state standard of 50% or greater of the total cells from the bloom were identified as the cyanobacteria Anabaena circinalis. As a result, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) has issued a cyanobacteria warning for those who recreate on Cobbett's Pond. This warning is not based on a toxin evaluation and is intended as a precautionary measure for short term exposure. DES advises lake users to avoid contact with the water in areas experiencing elevated cyanobacteria cell conditions typically where lake water has a blue-green surface scum or swirls. DES also advises pet owners to keep their pets out of any waters that have a surface scum or blue-green swirls.
Lake users should be on the lookout for cyanobacteria surface scums. The current bloom is variable with some lake portions free of scum sightings while other areas have large blue-green scums and swirls in the water. Recent sightings report congregations of the blue-green clumps near the Windham Town Beach.
DES routinely monitors public beaches and public waters of the state for cyanobacteria. DES monitors public waters issued cyanobacteria warnings on a weekly basis until the cyanobacteria standards are again met. Cyanobacteria are natural components of water bodies worldwide, but blooms and surface scums may form when excess phosphorus is available to the water. Some cyanobacteria produce toxins that are stored within the cells but released upon cell death. Toxins can cause both acute and chronic health effects ranging in severity from skin and mucous membrane irritations, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea to liver and central nervous system damage for humans and animals.
The August 14, 2009 warning will remain in effect until additional samples reveal cyanobacteria levels have diminished.
Visit the DES Beach Program website at des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/beaches/index.htmfor photos and more information about cyanobacteria. Updates on advisories and warnings may be obtained at http://www2.des.state.nh.us/Advisories/Beaches/.If you notice anything resembling cyanobacteria, please refrain from wading, swimming, or drinking the water. Keep all pets out of the water and contact DES immediately. Please call DES to report a cyanobacteria bloom at (603)419-9229.

Verlander burned by HRs as Tigers' bats go cold
Right-hander gives up go-ahead jack in 7th to spoil strong outing
NEW YORK -- Justin Verlander watched from the edge of the mound with his hands on his knees, and dropped his head down as the ball sailed beyond the center-field wall.
Verlander shook off his catcher Bryan Holaday, and elected to throw a fastball high and away to Brian McCann in the seventh inning of a tie game. He did not miss his spot by much, but enough for McCann to belt a go-ahead home run that helped the Yankees deal the Tigers a 5-1 loss on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.
"You throw the right pitch with conviction is better than the wrong pitch without it and that's the pitch I wanted to throw," Verlander said. "Now looking back at it, it's easy to second guess."
The Yankees added three insurance runs in the eighth inning, aided by a miscue from the Tigers' defense that all but put the game out of reach.
Verlander has not been the dominant pitcher this season that the Tigers had become accustomed to. He had allowed the most earned runs in the Majors entering Wednesday's game and was handed his 10th loss of the year in this one, but he was not to blame.
It was the Tigers' offense which scuffled against Chris Capuano, the 35-year old journeyman left-hander who was pitching in the Minors before being sold to the Yankees a couple of weeks ago. He held the Tigers to one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight.
"Tonight was as bad as we've been offensively, I think, really all year," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "Again, Chris Capuano did an excellent job, but the first seven innings of the game, we didn't seem to make many adjustments."
Detroit pushed across an unearned run in the first. Rajai Davis reached on an error by Derek Jeter to start the game and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly from Miguel Cabrera.
Then, the Tigers went silent at the plate until back-to-back singles in the seventh finally knocked Capuano out of the game.
"They got a dangerous lineup over there, a really good lineup," Capuano said. "And you have to try to get ahead and put them on the defensive. You've just got to try to make your pitches and slow the game down as best you can."
With runners at the corners, Adam Warren (2-5) forced Davis into a harmless bouncer to second base to end the threat.
The Tigers (62-49) threatened again in the eighth. Cabrera walked and a double error by Stephen Drew allowed Victor Martinez to reach first on the fielding error and a throwing error allowed Cabrera to advance the third. But Warren promptly retired the next two hitters to end the threat.
Meanwhile, Verlander cruised for much of the game. He retired the first 11 batters he faced until Jacoby Ellsbury's single in the fourth inning, and he did not allow a run until Chase Headley's solo homer in the fifth to tie the game at 1.
Verlander had struggled in his career against the Yankees in the Bronx. In his previous five starts here before this one, he was 0-2 with a 4.65 ERA. But on Wednesday, Verlander allowed five hits and struck out five in seven innings. But two of the five hits he surrendered were home runs and it made the difference in the game. Both the right-hander and Ausmus said his curveball was the best it had been at any point this season.
"I feel like if I can pitch like that moving forward there's going to be a whole lot of positive outcomes to come," Verlander said.
The Tigers became the first team in history to start three different American League Cy Young Award winners in as many nights. Even though each of them turned in strong performances, the Yankees (59-54) beat two of them, Verlander and Max Scherzer on Monday.
"I think if we have performances like that every time they take the mound, we'll be in great shape," Ausmus said.

SWINDON Town's prospective new owners will meet with the Football League tomorrow as the sale of the club reaches its conclusion, the Advertiser understands.
Jed McCrory's consortium is still awaiting official approval before they can take charge at the County Ground.
The League want to be talked through the incoming board's financial model for the club for the next three years, while McCrory himself is in the process of applying for special dispensation from the relevant authorities so that he can hold positions at both Swindon and Banbury United until the end of the campaign.
The prospective new directors are understood to have passed their fit and proper persons tests and McCrory & Co could get their purchase rubberstamped later this week following discussions with the Football League, which are expected to take place in Preston.
The Adver has learnt that joining McCrory on the new board of directors will be Martin King, Gary Hooper and Steve Murrall.
King is a former director at Luton Town, who resigned his post at the Hatters in the immediate aftermath of Mike Newell's controversial sacking in 2007. He is also the founder of corporate entertainment booking agency Eminence.
Murrall, like McCrory, has held a directorship at Milton Keynes-based marketing solutions firm Orcidium (UK) Ltd and has experience within the pharmaceutical industry. His primary skills are believed to be operations and structure management.
Hooper is a former professional footballer and has held commercial manager positions at several clubs up and down the Football League. He has 40 years of experience within the game including posts at Brentford and QPR.
Meanwhile, Charlton manager Chris Powell says no official approach has been made for Danny Green or Bradley Wright-Phillips since the emergency loan window opened on Friday.
When asked if Green and Wright-Phillips could still complete switches to Swindon, he said: "It depends on the situation.
"There are a lot of factors to consider with loan moves or permanent moves but as far as I'm aware if they are here and they are fit, they will be up for selection to be in the squad and be in the team."

Samsung Galaxy Axiom Pictures
Samsung Galaxy Axiom is a mid-range device quite similar to the Galaxy S III mini. There are, however, a few notable differences between the two. To start, there is no word of an AMOLED panel being present on its front. Instead, the Samsung Galaxy Axiom is equipped with a 4-inch TFT screen offering 480 by 800 pixels of resolution. The processor inside it is a dual-core chip running at 1.2GHz. You also get a pair of cameras – a 5-megapixel one with LED flash on the back and a 1.3MP cam for video chats up front. Further down the specs sheet we see 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded by popping in a microSD card and a 2,100mAh battery good for 7.5 hours of talk time. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich comes pre-loaded with goodies like S Beam and S Voice. Last but not least the Galaxy Axiom runs on the U.S. Cellular 4G LTE network for speedy internet access.

Are science and spirituality "non-overlapping magisteria" (as the late Stephen J. Gould put it), or can some overlap indeed be found? B. Alan Wallace, lecturer, scholar, and noted Buddhist practitioner, believes that it's time for scientists and meditators to team up (and indeed for scientists to become meditators) in order to study the mind from within.
Alan Wallace became a Buddhist monk in the early 1970s, ordained by the Dalai Lama in India. After 14 years of training and retreats, he returned to the US to study physics and the history and philosophy of science. Since then he's been trying to find meeting points for his two enthusiasms — Buddhism and science — and this … Read more »

It's polka dot time again! Although the black with white dots color scheme is the original, you're not limited to just those colors. Let's get a little adventurous and try something a little different. You can find polka dots in lots of different color combos and sizes-from tiny to big. And if you're one of those that doesn't like to wear prints, you can grab an accessory like a shoe, scarf, handbag, and even an umbrella. No excuses!

On February 1 at 10:54 p.m., Baltimore County Police responded to the unit block of Straw Hat Road for a report of a robbery.
The initial investigation into this incident has indicated that the 40-year-old male victim was in front of his apartment building when he was approached by two suspects. They pushed him down and kicked him in the head. The suspects took the victim's wallet that contained $700 before fleeing the scene.
The suspects are described as black males between the ages of 20 and 29. One suspect was short and stocky with a gray and white striped shirt. The other suspect was taller and wore all dark clothing. The suspects were later caught on video surveillance at a nearby gas station. Surveillance photos of the suspects are posted below.
The victim received minor injuries as a result of the incident but he was not transported to a medical facility.
This incident is being investigated by the Franklin Precinct Investigative Services Team.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Baltimore County Police at 410-307-2020.

The new school year is on the horizon, and soon children up and down the country will be back in the classroom - those breeding grounds of knowledge and creativity. But, steel yourself parents, they're also prime breeding ground for the lurgy.
All parents know that, while gold stars might not be guaranteed, it's a safe bet that your child will bring at least a couple of bugs home from school at some point or another - and often, there's nothing they can do about it.
However, consultant paediatrician Dr Markus Hesseling, a spokesperson for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, points out that most illnesses caught at school are minor. "It's a seasonal thing: here comes autumn, here come the respiratory infections," he says. "Simple illnesses like gastroenteritis, and respiratory problems like chest infections are a bit more frequent after school starts, simply because children have been sharing their bugs with a very small population over the summer holidays, and at school there are loads of susceptible friends to catch them."
While there's no way of avoiding infections all together, it's worth giving your child's immune system a helping hand, by encouraging them to eat a healthy, balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, and to make sure they had plenty of exercise during the summer holidays.
"The only way to protect children is through general healthy-living measures; sensible precautions protect you from a lot of things," says Dr Hesseling. "Take general, sensible measures like washing hands when you've been to the toilet or sneezed - nothing new, just common sense."
Thankfully, the vast majority of the time, these illnesses are not serious, and some don't even require treatment. But, err on the side of caution if you are concerned and call your doctor. As Dr Hesseling points out: "Parents know their children best, and if they feel there's something seriously wrong they need to get them seen, sooner rather than later, instead of thinking it's just because they're back at school."
Here's a look at some of the most common classroom bugs.
Always top of the league tables, of course, is the common cold, and kids are more prone than adults - it's estimated they get eight or more a year. But aside from appropriately treating the sniffles and soothing the symptoms , there's not an awful lot parents can do. Flu can make kids quite poorly, but it usually isn't serious unless there are complications, or a child has certain pre-existing health problems.
"Children will get flu and colds, and parents need to teach them how to cope with minor illnesses," says Dr Hesseling. "There are obviously cases where flu can become a real problem, for example, in immunocompromised children, but generally healthy children can fight the illness off without major support - mostly parental TLC, a bit of paracetamol, plus plenty of fluids."
Tummy bugs (gastroenteritis), caused by viral or bacterial infections, are another common term-time affliction. The main symptoms are diarrhoea and vomiting, which usually clear up quite quickly, or in around five to seven days. The most common cause in children is a virus called rotavirus, which can be transferred to food, objects and surfaces if infected children don't wash their hands after going to the toilet.
Usually, it's not serious, but it's important to ensure your child doesn't become dehydrated by giving them plenty of fluids (avoiding fruit and fizzy drinks if they have diarrhoea). If symptoms are severe and your child seems very unwell and dehydrated, or if vomiting continues for more than three days - or diarrhoea for more than a week - consult a doctor.
Measles mumps and rubella (German measles) are highly infectious and can have serious, potentially fatal, complications, including meningitis, encephalitis (swelling of the brain) and deafness. They can also lead to complications if a pregnant woman becomes infected. With measles and rubella, the most obvious symptom is a rash, and with mumps there's facial swelling and pain. Feeling unwell and a high temperature occur in all three illnesses.
As recently as last year there were measles outbreaks in the UK, as many children weren't vaccinated following Dr Andrew Wakefield Nineties report suggesting the MMR jab was linked to autism and bowel disease. T he report's since been completely discredited, and catch-up vaccination programmes have ensured uptake of the vaccine's now reached the desired 95% of children in some areas of the UK. "We're heading in the right direction," says Dr Hesseling. "I'd like to reiterate that if children get immunised, they stand a very good chance of not being subjected to a very serious form of these conditions"
If you do suspect your child has measles, mumps or rubella, while they'll usually clear up without complications, make an appointment with your doctor ASAP, so they can be checked over and properly diagnosed and treated if necessary. It's advisable to phone first, to avoid infecting people in the waiting room.
Chicken pox is usually a mild illness, and is extremely common. It starts with children feeling unwell, a slight temperature and a rash, which turns into itchy spots and then fluid-filled blisters which eventually dry into scabs. Scarring shouldn't occur if scabs aren't scratched. Treatment is simply giving children plenty of fluids, paracetamol or ibuprofen to relieve fever and discomfort, baths, dressing them in loose comfortable clothes, and calamine lotion to help ease itching. This is another illness that can cause complications in pregnant women, however, so it's important to isolate children until they're not infectious any more (when the blisters scab over).
Although there is a chickenpox vaccine, it's not part of the UK childhood vaccination programme and is only used to protect people who are most at risk of serious complications from the illness.
Head lice don't make children ill, but they can be extremely uncomfortable. Lice are very common in schoolchildren aged between four and 11, with an estimated one in three becoming infected during the school year, though most cases aren't reported. The sesame seed-sized, grey-brown nasties can't swim, jump or fly; they're spread by head-to-head contact and feed off blood from the scalp. The itching is from an allergy to the lice.
They can be detected with a special fine-toothed comb and often it's their white, empty egg cases (nits) that are easiest to spot. Medicated lotions, or wet-combing, can help get rid of head lice, and regular detection combing is advised thereafter to spot and treat lice early and avoid classmates catching them.
Scarlet fever is usually a mild illness caused by streptococcus bacteria. Children with the illness have a widespread pink-red rash, which may be itchy, and may also have a high temperature, sore throat and flushed face. There was a surge in cases last year, but it can be treated easily with antibiotics. Dr Hesseling says: "Scarlet fever is generally mild, but its rare potential complications like rheumatic disease mean outbreaks can understandably generate anxiety."
If you spot symptoms, make an appointment with the doctor. As well as antibiotics, cool fluids can help soothe the throat and paracetamol can help bring down a temperature.
One of the illnesses parents fear most is meningitis, an infection of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Babies and young children are among high-risk groups. Vaccines can protect against many types of meningitis, but not all of them.
Steve Dayman, founder Meningitis Now, notes that meningitis cases peak in winter, after children have gone back to school, and stresses that awareness of symptoms is vital to ensure the illness is spotted and treated quickly.
"It's vital that young people know the symptoms, because they are one of the groups most at risk," he says. "Knowing the signs can save lives. The sooner it's diagnosed, the better the chances of survival or avoiding life-changing after-effects, such as limb loss and brain damage."
Symptoms include a dislike of bright lights, headache, stiff neck, lethargy and vomiting. Sometimes, though not always, there's a rash, which is a sign of septicaemia (blood poisoning).
College and university students are also high-risk, says Dayman, so it's important that they're aware when they head back to 'big school' too.

Is there a reason why the Potters couldn't be their own Secret-Keepers? Wouldn't that have been much safer? 220.127.116.11 18:01, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- That would've been much safer, yes. Minor whole in the plot there, but easily explained when you think that being your own Secret-Keeper would be a very paranoid thing to do, and James thought it quite dishonorable to distrust his friends. It was his tragic flaw after all. Mr Norrell 14:24, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Having just re-read Deathly Hallows this question perplexed me as well, almost to the point of removing my enjoyment of the book. It doesn't seem that you can't be your own secret keeper (Bill Weasley was secret keeper for his own house, Shell Cottege) not that it would 'isolate' them from the outside world, they could reveal the secret to whomever they wanted, who could then visit them, but would not be able to then reveal that location to others. For me, the best explanation is that the secret keeper must also be the spell caster, and as very powerful magic, both Lilly and James were unable to successfully cast the spell, necesitating someone else to do so for them. Why a Wizard like Peter Pettigrew could do so, when, seemingly much more accomplished Wizards and Wiches like Lilly (who was top of her class) and James (who was de-facto leader of their group) could not is a different question, but as we see in HP7, Hermione Granger has a problem producing a Patronus, so the fidelius charm could just be a spell they struggled in, and Petigrew excelled in. Perhaps the stress of going into hiding somehow interfered with their ability to successfully and strongly cast the charm themselves, so they relied on their friends, which would not be a problem for them, as they trusted their friends implicitly. Luke Hughes-Bunger 13:12, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- It could be that James himself to stay put and do nothing. The thought that he might be tortured into revealing Lily and Harry's location being to much to bare, he decided it would be safer if an outsider was the secret-keeper.Tjb173 (talk) 01:04, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
I don't believe you must spell the cast yourself to be Secret-Keeper. As I understood the story, Dumbledore himself had cast it and the Potters chose to make Pettigrew the secret-keeper. Dumbledore has offered the Potters to be their secret-keeper, but they wanted to make Sirius secret-keeper and sadly decided at last to choose Pettigrew. Harry granger Talk contribs 12:04, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
After Dumbledore died Snape would become a secret keeper, along with the other members of the Order, for 12 Grimald place so why cant the Death eaters get in when Harry, Ron & Hermione are hiding? Wouldnt Snape tell them or Voldermort figure out that he is a secret keeper & make him?
- Voldemort believed Snape was on his side, and suspected nothing of Snape being a double agent; considering the conversation that Harry and Voldemort have in the end of book 7, presumably this was in fact the case. Chances are Snape did or said something to Voldemort to convince him that there was nothign at 12 Grimmauld Place that was worth going back for and that no one was using it anymore. BachLynn23 23:08, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
As I understood the last book, Moody and Dumbledore took precautions against Snape - Moody (tongue) and Dumbledore (attacking dust figure). So it could be possible that Snape could not tell Voldemort because of this precautions. Harry granger Talk contribs 12:04, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
The secret
Why could Harry, Hermione and Ron not get back to 12 Grimmauld Place when they revealed the secret to Yaxley. As i understand the Fidelius Charm, Harry and Hermione revealed the Black House to Yaxley, but they only told him the place. He was not able to tell others.
I think the point was that with the original Secret-Keeper (Dumbledore) dead and everyone who knew at that time becoming new Secret-Keepers, anyone those Secret Keeepers told would in turn become Secret-Keepers. Yaxley would thus indeed be capable of telling the other Death Eaters the secret.
And even if he couldn't reveal it and the Trio just had an Idiot Ball moment, I wouldn't want to keep living in a house a known killer can get into just because his friends are locked out.184.108.40.206 04:22, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
But besides that one about living in a house with a known killer, no Yaxley would not be able to tell anyone else about 12 Grimmauld Place. Hermione was Secret-Keeper and accidentally told Yaxley, but he would not be able to tell it as he wasn't Secret-Keeper. That post can only be given to the next person if the original dies. And only Secret-Keepers can reveal the location. Furthermore Yaxley was only one person against three, which leads to the question as to why it would be dangerous to be there. ----184.108.40.206 11:19, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
shell cottage
The Fidelius charm wasn't placed on Shell Cottage until after the trio escaped and the Weasley family had to go into hiding. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tjb173 (talk • contribs).

Defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills really don't like the New England Patriots. And they're not afraid to say it.
"Don't nobody like the Patriots," Dareus said. "Let's just be honest about it now. Put it out there."
Safety Aaron Williams referred to his dislike as being personal.
"I just don't like New England," Williams said, fully appreciating his comments will likely wind up being bulletin-board material.
"They're a great football team, don't get that twisted at all," he said, before adding: "It's just the way they carry themselves."
Now, Williams said, it's time for the Bills to start backing up their emotions on Sunday, when the Super Bowl champions travel to Orchard Park for an early-season AFC East showdown between two 1-0 teams.
The Bills have good reason to carry ill will toward New England after serving as the Patriots' personal patsies for much of the past 15 seasons. It's a span in which Buffalo has gone 3-26. That includes a mean-nothing 17-9 win in last year's season finale, when playoff-bound New England rested most of its starters after the first half.
This year, the Bills vow, will be different in their latest bid to end what now stands as a 15-season playoff drought — the NFL's longest active streak. To do so, they know they need to unseat the Patriots, who have claimed the division 11 times since 2002.

I wanted to make an art piece for my little girls' room and I decided to create it by using embroidery hoops. Making art yourself is always cheaper than buying something already created. Everyone that I show this to, just absolutely loves it.
Items you need to make this art:
1 Sheet of ply wood
As many embroidery hoops as you want (I got a bunch of different sizes to create a lot of dots)
Craft paint
Wood Glue
It's DARLING isn't it! This is a cheap way of decorating any room. If you changed the colors, it would look completely different.
First I arranged the hoops into the design that I wanted. Next, I took the hoops apart and only used the side without the hardware. I threw away the sides with the hardware. I painted the ply wood and let it dry completely. Next, I painted the embroidery hoops and let them dry completely.
Next, I glued the hoops onto the ply wood. This took some patience, and I ended up stacking heavy objects on top of the hoops to keep pressure onto the hoops until it dried completely. Next, I painted inside the hoops (onto the ply wood). I did have to touch up around some of the edges of the hoops.
As you can see, the hoops create dimension to the wall art, and I LOVE the way it turned out.
Here's another look of it! My cute husband created a wooden edge around it so that it looked finished. This is completely optional, but I liked it after he did it.
Do you like it?
