This doesn't do what it says on the tin. True, the product burns away hair but only down to the skin, giving a very stubbly result. It's very fiddly and time consuming and definitely not worth the money. Swapped mine for a good old fashioned epilator.

Additional profile information on Alfred Thompson at Google+
Recently an article by Dr. R.B.K Dewar and Dr. E. Schonberg called "Computer Science Education: Where Are the Software Engineers of Tomorrow?" really got some discussion going. The authors brought up a lot of what they see as problems in computer science education and they placed a good bit of the blame on using Java as a first programming language.
There was a lot of discussion on the Advanced Placement Computer Science mailing list, a lot of professional developers I know also sent it around, and of course there has been discussion of it in various blogs. I highly recommend the response by Michael Kölling, Senior Lecturer at the Computing Laboratory, University of Kent. Michael and I have had our disagreements in the past but his discussion of this article is pretty much spot on.
The complaints that Dewar & Schonberg make against Java are just as valid (or not) against the .NET languages like Visual Basic and C# BTW. But the real problem is not the first language but the overall curriculum (which is one of Michael's points.) The problem is not the tool but how it is used.
As I see it the university curriculum has gotten too big and complicated. No one wants to leave things out but there is limited time in a four year degree. Some have talked about making more CS programs five years long. That has some problems. The answer I see it to move more computer science into the high school grades.
Think about what it would be like for a math major if his first exposure to algebra, trigonometry and geometry was in the freshmen year in college. Unthinkable isn't it? And yet for many students that is essentially what we do with computer science. We have computer science majors who never took a programming or other real computer science course in high school. Or perhaps they took one course - maybe APCS or perhaps a BASIC programming course. Is it any wonder that CS 1 is a very basic sort of course? Is it any wonder that retention is such a problem?
High school students should have the opportunities to do more. I know that they can do more. I have had many students over the years who took two full years of computer science, learned several programming languages, and were well prepared to jump in at a higher level than many of their peers when they got to college. I know many other teachers who have had the same experience.
Wouldn't things be a lot better in college if students arrived knowing how to program and program well? Wouldn't it be better if the first CS course majors took is something that sophomores (or second year students) took today? I think so.
Of course there are difficulties. There is a real shortage of well-trained CS teachers in high schools. And of course there is a lack of standards that allow students to get graduation credit for computer science courses. So this is not an easy situation. But I do think that we have to start thinking of computer science as a liberal art and find ways to teach it more and better in high schools.
I would love to see AP CS use C or C++ by the way. Great stuff. Pointers is important for example. But as a first language C++ is not a good idea. The first language has to be able to build interest and cover the simpler more basic concepts. Moving the AP CS program to C++ (again - I taught C++ as an AP language in the past) would not be a good idea without previous course requirements using a better first language. Just my opinion - I'd love to hear others.
[Note: I see that Barb Ericson has a nice reply to the origional article here at the CSTA blog.]
Did you know that there was a Stopwatch object in .NET? Me either. Apparently it was added in the .NET Framework in version 2.0 and no one told me. Imagine that.
Seriously though I have often had to add some code in various projects to understand how long an algorithm was taking to execute. Generally this meant a query to the system clock in some way, saving the current value (after figuring out what data type and units of measure it was using), then checking the value again later and doing some math to figure out elapsed time. Sure it was doable and often I wound up creating some set of functions to make my life easier. But it was a bit of work to teach beginners how to use it. Suddenly my life is easier though.
The documentation for the Stopwatch class in online here. There is even sample code for using it in both Visual Basic, C# C++, J# and JScript. Check it out. I'll bet you'll find it a lot easier to use than a lot of other things you may have been using to time activities.
By the way there is a survey going on about the Education blogosphere so if you are an education blogger you may want to participate.
I must confess that I am not a serious gamer. I am not serious about playing games and I am not all that fond of games that are too serious. I'm more interested in creating games than in playing them but honestly I don't want to work all that hard on it anymore. So what I am always looking for are simple and light weight games to create and/or play. So obviously when a site called Very Silly Games opens up it gets my attention.
Rob Miles has opened this site. He claims that it is not a blatant attempt to promote his new XNA book and I believe him. (I typed that line with an almost straight face.) The one indisputable fact though is that he has a couple of completely silly game samples there already.
From his introduction:
Welcome to a world of silliness. Ever wanted to race your Xbox 360 gamepads? Indulge in silly sixteen player button bashing madness? Discover the joy of "Zero Graphics Gameplay"? Learn how to program in C# using your Windows PC and even your Xbox 360? This is the site for you.
Over time we are going to build up a "Library of Gameplay silliness" from which you can pull down fully working XNA games you can play instantly on your computer or, once you have joined the XNA Creators Club, on your Xbox 360.

I've long thought that too many of the example projects for XNA were a bit much for complete beginners. These projects look like what I have really been looking for. I'm interested in what others think of them as well. Are these useful for beginners?

LOCAL AGENCY GETS $1 MILLION TO PROMOTE MARRIAGE by Roxanne Escobales
In 2004 the Bush administration pledged 1.5 billion dollars over five years to promote marriage as a means to help the poor out of poverty. The Healthy Marriage Initiative is funded by welfare money, and ten Florida programs have received pieces of that pie to educate people on how to be good spouses. As WMNFââ¬â¢s Roxanne Escobales reports, the message is not without its detractors, including the Bay area organization that received the funding.
Counselling agency Family Resources in Pinellas Park found out last week that the federal government awarded it with the over one million dollars it had applied for as part of the Healthy Marriage Initiative. The money will be used over five years. But while the 36-year-old agency will certainly offer the marriage education courses it got approval and money for, C-O-O Pat Gerard says Family Resources may widen its scope about who they receive as clients.
ACT: ââ¬Åââ¬Â¦ that certainly wouldnââ¬â¢t be the reason that we would be doing it.ââ¬?
It seems Family Resources views marriage a bit more liberally than the federal government.
Right now Family Resources helps between 700 and 800 people a year. It hopes to reach an additional 7 thousand with its marriage education and divorce reduction services. But not everyone thinks promoting marriage is always the best option.
Linda Osmundson is the executive director of domestic violence shelter CASA in St Petersburg.
Chris Warwick of The Haven womenââ¬â¢s refuge in Clearwater says the shelter harbors between 500 and 600 women a year and helps more than 5 thousand others as they deal with abuse. And The Haven believes that those numbers represent less than five percent of the domestic violence victims in North Pinellas alone.
After being lobbied by those in the domestic violence field, the government added that those offering marriage services under its banner would have to involve partner abuse agencies. But CASAââ¬â¢s Linda Osmundson still advises to proceed with caution.
Part of the Healthy Marriage Initiative stipulates that it funds education and not marriage counseling. So rather than one on one sessions, couples and would-be couples should attend workshops and seminars. And once again, Pat Gerard says Family Resources will work around that requirement, especially when it comes to couples thinking about splitting up.
Family Resources in Pinellas Park and Manatee County traditionally offered adolescent-centred family counseling. Now it will hire 16 new staff to undertake the marriage education and relationship enhancement workshops at the two sites along with its partner agency the Marriage and Family Center. Part of the program requires a public awareness campaign, whose message will be formed by a community advisory group. And courses will be offered to unmarried people thinking about getting married. Or even those who would like to get married but legally canââ¬â¢t.
ACT: gay guy who wrote grant ââ¬â ironic
Family Resources hopes to have healthy marriage classes up and running by the end of the year.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 08:00AM
The brand is developing a push, to roll out in March, focusing on BP's cultural sponsorships, including its long-term partnerships with the Royal Opera House and British Museum and this summer's Olympic Games.
The TV, print and online activity is intended to 'make people feel more positive' about BP nearly three years on from the devastating oil spill, according to a source.
A BP spokesman said 'no final decision' on a campaign had yet been made.
BP pulled its UK marketing in the wake of the spill, and returned only this year with a campaign to promote its sponsorship of London 2012.
BP was recently hit by the biggest fine in US history, after agreeing a $4.5bn settlement with the authorities over its part in the disaster, which killed 11 workers and dispersed millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Harvard Money Managers' Pay Criticized
By STEPHANIE STROM
Published: June 4, 2004
Last year, Jack R. Meyer, who oversees Harvard University's mighty endowment, the biggest university endowment in the country, was paid $6.9 million.
His counterpart at the University of Texas, Bob L. Boldt, was paid $743,316 for managing the second-largest university endowment, while David F. Swenson, who manages the third-largest, at Yale University, was paid $1,027,685.
The disparity is even larger when looking at the five highest paid money managers at the Harvard Management Company, two of whom made more than $35 million last year. This has angered Dr. Terry M. Bennett, who graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1964 and later got a degree from its School of Public Health.
''The managers of the endowment took home enough money last year to send more than 4,000 students to Harvard for a year,'' Dr. Bennett said.
Dr. Bennett, who gave some $4 million in proceeds from an antique car auction to Harvard in 1991, at the time the largest gift ever to the medical school, has sent e-mail messages to class members in advance of their reunion next week asking them to withhold donations until the university agrees to put management of the $19.3 billion endowment up for competitive bid. He also wants a promise of greater accountability in management of the endowment.
''I am going to shut the money off,'' Dr. Bennett said. ''I am in the process of doing that, and I am good for my word.''
University officials say they are not concerned about Dr. Bennett's campaign, but it comes at a particularly inopportune time. The Internal Revenue Service recently announced that it would require hundreds of nonprofit organizations to justify their compensation levels.
Congressional interest in nonprofit compensation practices has also increased. The Senate plans to hold a hearing on June 22 on the issue as well as a broad range of concerns it has about the nonprofit sector. The compensation Harvard pays its money managers has long raised eyebrows in the nonprofit sector, where pay packages exceeding $800,000 are considered exceptional, but Harvard's alumni have barely blinked.
''I've followed the issue over the years, and I'm fully comfortable with the compensation they receive,'' said Kenneth V. Hachikian, a financial consultant and investment banker who graduated from Harvard in 1971. ''The financial performance of the endowment has been considerably above what the average has been in the broad marketplace.'' Even so, the university acknowledged that the size of the pay packages last year produced more letters of protest than letters of support, a deviation from the past. In March, it announced a cap on future compensation but did not provide specifics.
Harvard has long contended that it is merely paying the going rate for top-flight money managers. ''There is an economic market out there for these kinds of fund managers, and we do know that many of them who work other places are making more than the people we have in house,'' said Donella Rapier, the university's vice president for alumni affairs and development.
The university follows Wall Street practice in paying its managers, so that the vast majority of their compensation is bonuses reflecting their performance as judged against benchmarks. Last year, the endowment's managers greatly outperformed those benchmarks, producing a total return after fees and expenses of 12.5 percent, and thus their compensation was unusually high.
Yale's return on its $11 billion endowment was 8.8 percent, while the University of Texas saw a 12.8 percent return on the $14.8 billion under management through Aug. 31, $11.2 billion of which was endowment money.
Even some supportive alumni say the pay issue has made Harvard vulnerable to criticism.
''I serve on a number of alumni committees, and there has been astonishment at the fact that people working for an organization like Harvard could take away such large salaries,'' said Dr. Joseph K. Hurd, who is the reunion treasurer for Dr. Bennett's class. The five highest-paid managers at the Harvard Management Company, which controls the university's $19.3 billion endowment, were paid a total of $107.5 million in the year that ended last June 30, a 43 percent increase over the previous fiscal year, when they were paid $75 million.
David R. Mittelman, who managed $2.9 billion of domestic bonds, was paid $36.8 million for beating the performance of five-year and longer term treasury notes and adding $777 million to Harvard's coffers.
Maurice Samuels was paid $35.6 million for producing a $580 million return on $2.1 billion in international bonds and beating a Morgan Stanley index. The University of Texas's investment arm paid roughly the same amount of compensation for its entire money management operation, from top managers to assistants and fees to outside money managers.
After seven members of the Class of 1969 heard through the grapevine of the pay packages for 2003, they sent Harvard's president, Dr. Lawrence H. Summers, a letter critical of the compensation. ''Our collective concern is that we think the amounts of money being paid to these folks are by almost any measure obscene,'' said Stanley Eleff, a lawyer in Tampa who signed the letter.

"Oh my gosh he was so scary. My heart is, like, pounding. I've never got this scared in my life," Khan can be heard saying in the message. "Pick up your phones, I am freaked out right now."
Her family had feared for the worst, with her mother and husband of five months pleading with her alleged captor to let her go.
In a brief press conference late Wednesday night, a Khan's family spokesperson thanked their community for their outpouring of support.
But no family members would speak to reporters.
Police, who just days ago told ABC News that they were treating the case as an abduction, had no comment on Khan's reappearance.
Her cell phone, backpack and other items were at the University of Kansas picnic table where she had been sitting, but she was nowhere to be found.
She is a student at the Johnson County Community College, which partners with the University of Kansas, which is why Khan was on the campus.
Police launched a massive search and investigation, and Khan's husband, parents and siblings pleaded for her safe return.

Carol Saunders: Culinary Creations a delicious success for Quantum House
The most delicious, scrumptious and delightful gourmet events, the 12th annual "Culinary Creations Dinner," was held June 13, by the American Culinary Federation Palm Beach County Chefs Association, at the Cohen Pavilion of the Kravis Center for Performing Arts in West Palm Beach.
It featured probably the best young chefs in South Florida presenting some of the most incredible food ever served at one occasion, to benefit Quantum House at Saint Mary's Medical Center as part of the Quantum House tenth anniversary celebration and the Palm Beach County Chef In Distress Endowment Fund.
Inspired by some of the region's most talented chefs, a packed, sold out crowd was treated to a hors d'oeuvres and champagne reception, with tasting stations in the lobby. This unique evening was unlike any other food and wine event in Palm Beach County. The "foodie" themed evening flowed into the silent auction. Guests bid on private chef dinners, wine tastings and other spectacular items.
The once-in-a-lifetime dinner also featured four amazing courses served round robin style. Guests had the opportunity to experience a dish from each of the 25 chefs such as Cobia Consommé, Caribbean Crab Timbale, Trio of Duck, Porcini Salt Crusted Beef Tenderloin and myriad of delicious desserts.
With Tiffany Kenney, WPBF News Channel 25 anchor serving as emcee, there were welcoming remarks from Jeff Simms, executive chef of The Breakers, and Robi Jurney, executive director of Quantum House. The live auction was conducted by Joe Ranieri, Seview Radio AM/FM.
Diners left with satisfied appetites and a full hearts because 100 percent of the proceeds from the dinner benefited deserving charities.
"Having all these award-winning chefs under one roof preparing such a gourmet feast to honor Quantum Foundation for our 10th Anniversary was spectacular," Jurney said.
Quantum House is a caring and supportive home that lessens the burden for families whose children are receiving treatment in Palm Beach County for a serious medical condition.

"Andre" the turtle to go back to sea
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beachhas announced plans for another endangered green sea turtle (Chelonia Mydas) to return to the wild after 13 months of rehabilitation using medical technology never before used on an animal.
Having beaten the odds after sustaining multiple watercraft injuries, "Andre" will make his way back to the ocean Wednesday, Aug. 3 at 10:30 a.m. (weather and surf permitting) in hopes that he will mate during sea turtle nesting season.
The public is encouraged to attend the release event, which will highlight three revolutionary medical therapies that have helped to save the turtle's life.
Andre was found by beachgoers stranded on a sandbar on Juno Beach on June 15, 2010. His body cavity was exposed and he was in critical condition. After helping bring Andre to shore, onlookers called nearby Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
Staff veterinarian Dr. Nancy Mettee, D.V.M. discovered more than three pounds of sand weighing on Andre's organs causing severe displacement and infection. He also had a collapsed lung, pneumonia and a badly damaged shell.
Mettee reached out to colleagues and was directed to Kinetic Concepts Inc. (KCI), a San Antonio-based company that specializes in technologies and therapies designed to make wound healing manageable for caregivers and more comfortable for patients.
KCI worked with Mettee on the first ever implantation of Strattice' Reconstructive Tissue Matrix in an animal.
Additionally, while not intended for use on underwater animals, KCI's V.A.C. Therapy proved instrumental in helping Andre's wounds heal.
Since arriving at Loggerhead Marinelife Center over a year ago, Andre has received advanced wound healing treatment using KCI's V.A.C. Therapy, a negative pressure wound therapy technology that is most often used on human patients.
They got their help from Alberto A. Vargas, DMD, MS, of Vargas Orthodontics in Jupiter, who heard about their problem and donated his services with an orthodontic appliance which would significantly heal wounds to the sea turtle's carapace.
Andre received six orthodontic appliances on Feb. 15, with the help of Drs. Mettee and Vargas and their colleagues. The appliances were removed in May, resulting in as much as two centimeters of closure in some areas.
"People have really fallen for Andre," said Loggerhead Marinelife Center president & C.O.O. David McClymont.
In the past year, more than 200 supporters have adopted the turtle from 25 states in the U.S., and countries as far away as Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
People from all over the world have logged on to watch Andre's progress over a live webcam that hovers above his tank. Others have mailed in stacks of get-well cards.
"Andre has resonated with over 200,000 annual visitors as a symbol of the continued need for ocean conservation," added McClymont. "His story has inspired change."
Mettee, however, won't be in attendance. "Saying goodbye to Andre is bittersweet," she said. "I love to see him return to the wild, but I'd hate to watch him leave."

Hidden Chateau and GardensRead MoreIn the 1930s, using stone quarried from his nearby ranch, silent-movie actor Francis Lederer finally made noise building a horse stable for his wife, Marion. Over the years, the site became a historical and cultural monument that now houses the Hidden Chateau & Gardens, an event space rented out for weddings and parties. Outside the chateau's impressive façade, swatches of greenery trim stone paths, and sprays of water trickle down the tiers of garden fountains. Towering shade trees wrapped in twinkling lights and lush, verdant flora sprout throughout the 1.5-acre property. Inside, under a Spanish-style roof, two private rooms ensure brides and grooms don't see each other before their blind date down the aisle. Aside from weddings and other private parties, the gardens also play host to public events such as wine pairings, art shows, and bridal expos. Additionally, an onsite boutique collects everything from furniture to work by local artists, with some items available for rent for events that take place on the property.23130 Sherman WayWest Hills, CA US

This spray-on toner is an exceptionally basic formula that ends up being more expensive than it seems because you get only a small amount of product compared to other toners (many are $20 for 6 to 8 ounces and far better formulated). Most problematic is that this contains a formaldehyde-releasing preservative (2-bromo-2-nitropane-1,3 diol) that you shouldn't be spraying all over your face every day, not to mention the sensitization factor if it gets in your eyes.
The lotus flower extract mentioned in the claims is present in the tiniest amount, but even in greater amounts this flower (whose fragrance isn't what sensitive skin needs) has no research proving its worth for skin. All told, this is a good example of a completely ordinary toner with some questionable ingredients to steer clear of.
See our list of Best Toners for far superior options.
A perfect blend of ingredients including lotus flower extract to help give dehydrated, tired and dull skin a boost of hydration for naturally dewy skin. The fine mist absorbs instantly into the skin, helping to refresh and restore optimum moisture balance and can even be used over make-up. Perfect for even sensitive skin.

Simple At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; Simple provides complete product ingredient lists on its Web site; good makeup removers; a few cleansers for sensitive skin; all of the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection.
Weaknesses: Poor selection of products for oily, acne-prone skin; no options for those with discolorations; several products that claim to be great for sensitive skin but contain ingredients that will make sensitive skin worse; mostly unexciting, dated moisturizers, especially those in the Regeneration or Repair lines.
Simple is a United Kingdom–based skin-care line whose self-described claim to fame is that they're the "pre-eminent brand of skincare and toiletries products developed especially for sensitive skin." They also claim to be the United Kingdom's No. 1 skin care-brand, as measured by units sold, and given the line's wide distribution and low price point, the sales figures are probably accurate. But, although their sales claim may be accurate, Simple's claims about their products being good for sensitive skin are spurious at best because too many of the ingredients are completely inappropriate for sensitive skin.
Simple skin care states the following: "Our philosophy is: Simple says - never use perfumes, dyes or harsh irritants that can upset your skin. Simple says - settle for only the purest possible ingredients. Simple says - trust the natural goodness in all of our products especially for sensitive skin." Although that's a good philosophy, most Simple products don't live up to their lofty goals. There are fragrant ingredients in many of their products, they use potentially irritating preservatives in some of their products, their sun protection products use synthetic sunscreen ingredients which aren't the best for sensitive skin, and many of their ingredients are not natural (we know their claim of natural goodness doesn't say outright that they only use natural ingredients but many consumers will think that's what's being implied)
Unfortunately, there are no standards in Europe or anywhere else that regulate which cosmetic products can be deemed suitable for sensitive skin and which cannot. Therefore, any company can make that claim for its products, regardless of what the products contain. It's not all bad news though, as several of Simple's products are fragrance-free, which is a key starting point for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
As mentioned above, the price point for Simple is low; in fact, it is one of the least expensive cosmetic brands you'll find in the United Kingdom (and a small assortment of their products are sold in the U.S., too). We are all for consumers getting more for their money, but in most cases with Simple you're being shortchanged, and that's not the way to save money. Most of their products are either very basic or the frills and good ingredients are but a dusting in an otherwise ordinary formula. There are few outstanding products in this line, which is similar throughout the industry.
The anti-aging products are a great example of Simple's combination of low prices and lofty claims, with nary an ingredient on the list capable of delivering any benefit over and above a Band-Aid®. Even the most state-of-the-art moisturizers and anti-aging products won't bring about a significant reduction in wrinkles or other signs of aging, but using well-formulated products (and they don't have to be expensive) helps a great deal. Overall the folks behind Simple took their name too literally.

Zombie games are all the rage these days, but those other denizens of the night, the blood-sucking vampires, have also had their fair share of successes. Next to rise from the dead is Blood Brothers, a game that presents more of a traditional RPG experience as you roam the land engaging enemies in turn-based combat, gathering currency and capturing fallen foes so they can fight by your side.
You start by selecting one of eight classes, all of which adhere to established RPG archetypes, from fighters with a healing flavor, to dark sorcerers and warriors who possess devastating melee attacks. Combat on the battlefield is automated, so the strategic challenge comes from choosing the right party before heading into battle.
Your party is composed of both NPCs you meet on your journey and special creatures that can either be summoned in a lottery (using the coins you collect), or captured on the battlefield. Got a creature that doesn't really work for you? You can always grind it up and feed it to your main fighters to give them a stats boost. Creatures can also be combined, so if you find yourself collecting duplicate animals, you can fuse them together, which enhances the stats of the surviving creature. It's a great way of dealing with the frustration of missing out on a new character, and will motivate you to keep pushing on.
On that note, navigating across the world uses energy, and you'll only be able to make so many moves before having to wait for the timer to refill, but it also replenishes as you level up. Suffice to say, it'll be a while before this becomes a real obstacle.
Meanwhile, the animation in Blood Brothers looks rather basic, with your characters hopping on a little pedestal from tile-to-tile. However, the storytelling was handled wonderfully, with painted backdrops used to great effect.
Bottom line, if you played Rage of Bahamut, you'll know what to expect from Blood Brothers. This is a static, Tamagotchi sort of game, but veterans of that earlier title will be pleased to hear that the interface is considerably less cluttered, and the in-app purchase nagging is kept to a bare minimum. If you need a game to dip in and out of, Blood Brothers is the perfect time-killer.

The shackled and handcuffed jewelry thief turned from the podium and looked at his relatives, asking for some sense of reconciliation.
"I want to let you guys know I'm sorry," defendant Cody M. Bruner said with a pleading expression.
"I want the opportunity to make it right. I know it will take some time," the 23-year-old Shelby resident said.
In mid-July, Bruner pleaded guilty to theft from the elderly. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dismissed one count each of grand theft and theft.
On March 4 and April 1, Bruner stole several items -- amounting to more than $7,500 -- from a person who was older than 65. More than $1,500 of the items were jewelry.
At an Aug. 29 hearing, he was ordered to pay $10,236 in restitution to one set of victims and $1,000 to two more. Some of the victims are Bruner's relatives.
Bruner's aunt spoke to the court and her nephew before he was sentenced. She said the family offered Bruner help many times for his drug addiction and she'd be willing to help him "work it out," but he ultimately betrayed the trust of his grandmother.
"I want him to know how much he hurt everyone with all this," she said. "There are things your grandmother lost that belonged to your grandfather."
About the stolen items, the aunt said the family won't be able to replace them. She stressed to Bruner that the hurt he has inflicted on the family is about the sentimental value of the stolen items, not their monetary worth.
Some of the stolen property was recovered.
"You proclaimed how much you missed your uncle and turned around and do this. ... You wanted him to be proud of you. This is no way to make him proud of you," Bruner's aunt told him.
The defendant's aunt also said she wants to see her nephew get some treatment, but also be punished.
"He needs to suffer all (the) consequences for his actions," she told the judge.
Bruner's attorney, Huron County Public Defender David Longo, seemed at a lost for what punishment to recommend. Longo said he believes his client is "genuinely sorry" and while he understands Bruner's family wants to see punishment and some rehabilitation, he didn't know what the "correct solution" should be.
Huron County Common Pleas Judge Jim Conway sentenced Bruner to 180 days in the Huron County Jail -- the maximum local time for the offense. With credit for time already served, he has fewer than 60 days remaining.
Conway said the court received "significant feedback" from the victims and Bruner's family. The judge also ruled the crime had a large psychological impact.
Bruner must obtain his GED and undergo random drug screens as part of his three years of intense probation. He is prohibited from having any association with his aunt or being on her property.
If he violates his probation, he faces three years in prison.

Jim McIsaac/Getty Images North America When the Rangers inked Anton Stralman to his one-year deal last season, many looked at it as a great low risk option to help round out the defense. After spending the first month of the season attempting to prove himself to the coaching staff, Stralman eventually saw top-four minutes while filling in for the injured Michael Sauer and recovering Marc Staal. He earned himself a two-year, $3.4 million deal in the offseason with his strong play. In the salary cap age, getting a bang for your buck is one of the most important factors in offseason decisions. Stralman doubled his salary, and now is carrying an almost $2 million cap hit. With that increased salary comes increased expectations.
