Hello, my name is Happysuz and I?m addicted to buying craft supplies.
My latest splurge?? I was at one of our local craft stores this week to buy school supplies and to look at some alcohol markers.? I purchased some online art classes for Spygirl and they 
suggested getting good, artist quality markers.? I had been wanting to try Copic markers, but am not willing to pay the high price for them. So I figured I?d try a less expensive brand and get a set that Spygirl and I could share.
My craft store was out of the usual brand. I almost gave up and went home to order some on Amazon when I spotted a display in the stamp section.? They were carrying a new brand (well, new for them) of alcohol pens called Spectrum Noir.? They were 50% off!! ? There were 12 packs of 6 pens each that you could buy.? Each pack in a different color family.? I got 10 packs of my most used colors (because, you know, buying 12 packs would be excessive. LOL) and went home very happy.
I used them to color the flower and the 75 numbers on this card I made for my aunt.? They blend nicely and color great!? I love that you can make thinks darker or lighter like with crayons.
I have signed Spygirl up for a series of art classes with Thrive Art Online.? I want to learn to draw also, so I thought I?d do them with her.? I?ll post how those classes go separately.
I spent way too much money on markers, but it was such a great deal.? I?m very happy with my purchase and they were a fraction of the cost of a much smaller collection of Copic or even Prismacolor.
Stay tuned to see our creations from our Thrive Art Online drawing class.
Have a creative weekend!
Happysuz

URBANA, Ill. (AP) ? Afraid there may be peanuts or other allergens hiding in that cookie? Thanks to a cradle and app that turn your smartphone into a handheld biosensor, you may soon be able to run on-the-spot tests for food safety, environmental toxins, medical diagnostics and more.
The handheld biosensor was developed by researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. A series of lenses and filters in the cradle mirror those found in larger, more expensive laboratory devices. Together, the cradle and app transform a smartphone into a tool that can detect toxins and bacteria, spot water contamination and identify allergens in food.
Kenny Long, a graduate researcher at the university, says the team was able to make the smartphone even smarter with modifications to the cellphone camera.

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Brady, who just wants to play NBA Jam, dammit. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.
"Hey, I used to be really into the homebrew and homemade software communities, but times changed and I fell out of the scene. Now I'd like to get back into it, and would love a new device that'll let me play all of these old-school games without having to chop and change -- letting me swap between titles like Mario Kart 64 and NBA Jam without any effort. There are so many new options, from buying an OUYA through to snagging a new PC, so what's my best (and cheapest) bet? Plus, anything that can take a wireless controller is a big plus. Thanks!"
Well, we're thinking that if you're prepared to get your hands a little dirty, the OUYA can be turned into an Android-based emulator thanks to its hacking-friendly setup. If that's a bit too rich for your bones, however, you can set up EmulationStation on a Raspberry Pi which will let you run a wide variety of consoles from the same piece of hardware. Still, let's turn this question over to the Engadgeteers for them to share their experiences.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear today that, for now, the league will continue to stand by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam amid a federal investigation into a fraud scheme orchestrated by Pilot Flying J, the Knoxville, Tenn.-based truck-stop empire run by Haslam and owned by his family.
?Jimmy Haslam is a man of great integrity,? said Goodell, who made an appearance at the Browns? headquarters to promote safety at a ?Heads Up Football? youth skills clinic. ?We're proud to have him as an owner in the NFL and think he's going to be a great owner for the Cleveland Browns and their fans here.
?He's as disappointed as anybody in what happened at Pilot J and he's working hard to fix it and correct those issues, both from a structural standpoint and to make amends. He's kept me very much involved. I think ... as he tells me I was one of his first calls to inform me what was happening after he learned about it, and he's been great at keeping us informed.?
The FBI and Internal Revenue Service raided the headquarters of Pilot Flying J April 15, and an affidavit made public days later alleged that Haslam had knowledge of fuel rebate fraud that cheated trucking-company customers out of millions of dollars. So far, seven former Pilot Flying J employees have pleaded guilty to federal charges.
Goodell said Haslam, the CEO of Pilot Flying J, has told him privately what he has maintained publicly ? that he didn?t know about the fraud scheme until the FBI released its affidavit.
?Yes, absolutely [I asked him if he knew about the fraud],? Goodell said. ?And he?s been very clear that he?s had no knowledge of that, and he?s been clear publicly and clear with you all.?
In addition to the criminal investigation, about 20 trucking companies have filed civil lawsuits against Pilot Flying J. Eight of them have agreed to a settlement, and Haslam has sent checks to several other companies in an effort to make restitution.
?He?s been very proactive,? Goodell said. ?He?s made numerous statements about it. I think he?s taken responsibility for it. He?s spoken up. As I said before, he?s a man of integrity. This company has meant a lot to him and his family, and he?s more determined than ever to make it right.?
Some question whether Haslam?s finances could be drained enough to force him to sell the team, which he bought from Randy Lerner last year for about $1 billion.
When training camp opened to the public July 25, Haslam tried to alleviate concerns that he?ll be forced to sell the Browns. Haslam, who's attending practice today, insisted there are no cash flow issues and he?s optimistic about the outcome of the investigation.
?The fans should not worry,? Haslam said. ?Our family is going to own this asset for a long, long time.?
Goodell said he has no reason to doubt Haslam?s hopeful attitude about the outcome of the probe.
?You know, most of my reports are coming from Jimmy, and he shares everything else, and I have every reason to believe him,? Goodell said. ?We have not been given anything that would be inconsistent with that.?
Goodell repeatedly sidestepped questions about what the league?s course of action would be in the event Haslam is indicted.
?We?re not going to play the hypothetical game,? Goodell said. ?Right now he?s addressing the issues. We?re confident he?s going to deal with it properly.?
At what point would the league become more involved?
?Right now, this is an issue where he?s had some people in his organization that have obviously not conducted themselves in a way that?s consistent with what he wants,? Goodell said. ?He?s fixing it, and he?s got to do that. Those things happen in big organizations.
?Jimmy is more disappointed than anybody. But I don?t think it?s a matter for us at this moment.?
Goodell was asked if owners accused of crimes would be disciplined similarly to players accused of crimes.
?We actually hold ownership to a higher standard and management,? Goodell said. ?And I think we?ve proven that in what we?ve done. It?s not just accused. As you know, in our policy, oftentimes we let the criminal process unfold because you need to do that to find out the real facts. Sometimes we don?t have all the facts, and we need to do that. What we look at is multiple offenders. As you know, that?s a real focus for us.?
The league?s owners unanimously approved Haslam?s purchase of the Browns in October after the NFL's finance committee also gave its blessing. The FBI has been investigating Pilot Flying J since May 2011.
Goodell, though, defended the league?s vetting process, insisting it wasn?t flawed.
?No, I don?t think [it was flawed],? Goodell said. ?This was a surprise to [Haslam] and to his senior level management. From that standpoint, I don?t think he was aware of it, and I don?t know anyway we could have been aware of it. It was not disclosed to us.?
Haslam bought a minority stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, so the league examined him then. However, Goodell said the NFL?s vetting of Haslam before his purchase of the Browns was not any less thorough than usual.
?No, we go through the same process on any circumstance,? Goodell said. ?When you?re going through a controlling ownership position, that?s a big step up so we don?t just pass that off. We do the same vetting process. Obviously he knows people in the league after being an owner, so there were certain aspects of that which were easier. But we didn?t short-circuit anything.?
Goodell conceded the scandal is not ideal for the Browns or the league.
?You never want to see this kind of thing happen, particularly to a partner in the league,? Goodell said. ?So obviously his partners care a great deal about him, and as a partner they want to see him getting off to a good start. This is not what anybody intended, not anybody anticipated, but he?s a man that I think everyone truly respects in the NFL.?
But Goodell shot down the idea that the probe will distract the Browns.
?I don?t believe it?s distracting anybody in that building, and that?s what really matters at the end of the day,? Goodell said. ?And Jimmy obviously is focused on that, but he?s got a lot of great people that he hired to do the job. He always intended to stay involved with Pilot J.?
Goodell also expressed confidence that Haslam can still prove to be the man who delivers a winner to Cleveland.
?I think Jimmy Haslam came into this with a mindset that he was going to do everything possible to get this franchise turned around in a positive direction and a team that this community will be proud of, not just in any single year, but consistently and to create a winner,? Goodell said. ?And he?s brought in great talent. He?s brought in great people. He set the organization obviously in a different direction. I think that?s all positive and good for the fans here and ultimately good for the NFL.?
