This is the robotic companion that is susceptible to a zombie virus, requiring his owner to blast him into submission whenever he succumbs to an undead frenzy. When healthy, this bot behaves pleasantly, responding to directional controls from his owner's remote, until the touch of a button turns him berserk. With sounds and LED lights to indicate his madness, he refuses to comply with the remote's commands and autonomously lumbers about in search of brains (or perhaps batteries). The owner then has 30 seconds to fire soft darts from the zombie blaster, aiming to knock off his arms and take out the central processor in his braincase before the virus claims another victim. Requires four AA and two AAA batteries. Ages 6 and up. 13" H x 11" W x 7" D. (3 lbs.)

"Sensational Hit"
By Happy Aunt
from Canon City, Colorado
Best Uses
This guy is reminiscent of today's fad games. It's cute and very interactive and is fun for the whole family. A bit pricy, but after you see the smiles, it was worth every penny.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Kind of lame
By Grandma
from Minnesota
I bought this as a gift for a ten-year-old, but on opening it and putting the batteries in, I can see that it's for a younger child, if any. The action is limited, and the shooting darts just don't shoot at all, except possibly at 6 inches or so. It could be fun for a younger child for a while, as the noises and lights are cute. If you buy it, plan to spend a half hour or so getting it out of the package and installing the batteries.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What a pretty skirt! I was a fan of Leanne's collections, so I love this one!

what a great philosophy, sometimes i abide by it as well. for example, today we are experiencing the worst snow storm in about 6 years, and i decided to go shovel snow in a sweatshirt, leggings and wellies.
but you look adorable, as usual

it looks so nice.
i like your pullover,coulour of nails and the nature:)

i'm such a baby about the cold! i layer and layer, haha! i guess that's a cali girl for ya.... love the look... simple, but cute!

i love your shoes!!!

- Kimberellie said...
Super cute. I love the way you look in the second to last pic! There's something about your smile. The shoes are awesome too. I like your "only outside for a little while" philosophy. I'm afraid I sometimes follow it as well. ;-)
Though I must admit I wore open toed shoes WITH tights the other day and I couldn't help thinking all day: "Do people think I'm crazy for wearing open toed shoes in the middle of winter?" That said it IS 10 degrees outside (Celsius!)
- February 10, 2010 at 9:45 AM

your shoes are wonderful!!!
also, a few days ago i didnt wear a coat because i figured warm building to warm car.. but usually im a baby.

That skirt is perfectly Leanne!You look great in it,darling!
Yeah and seriously, what up with crazy people and no coats, my boyfriend doesn't like to wear coats if he can avoid it, he just puts on a bazillion layers of clothing that I end up having to launder. I shall never understand.

Love this outfit....seems a little different than what you usually wear, but I love the casual feel to it!

Lovely outfit as usual, the shoes and skirt are great... and, did you know that Leanne has a blog too? It's http://petalsandwaves.blogspot.com/
Love yr blog!

- Kelley Anne said...
You look adorable. I love the shoes and the skirt is very nice, especially with the draping and high waist. I don't know if I could adopt the no coat, no tights philosophy. I think I a) like wearing them too much and b) am cold even in the house if its under 70 degrees:)

If you hadn't described your friend, I was going to ask if it was Suri Cruise. That poor child hardly ever has a coat on!

What a beautiful setting! And I love this skirt and the way it folds. It's my mission this year to find interesting skirts as all I seem to buy is dresses!
Seriously too cold in the UK for bare legs, but then I am a bit of a wuss..
- February 10, 2010 at 10:20 AM

I'm in PA and your friend sounds a bit crazy especially since the entire state is currently living under 2 feet+ of snow right now.
Loving that Jeffrey Campbell shoes! I love the heel that isn't too high.

I really love the outfit !
And that ring.... THAT RING !
- February 10, 2010 at 10:20 AM
- Diane said...
Everything in this post is absolutely beautiful! The way that skirt flows is gorgeous and is totally reminiscent of Leanne's aesthetic for her last collection; such an aptly named skirt. Although I do like your friends' philosophy on not wearing coats and such if we're only going to be outside for a few minutes, I could never go through with it. I overdress during the winter because I get cold much too easily so I always have to be bundled up with layers! I applaud your notion to go with peep toes and bare legs today.
Also, that fourth landscape photo is heavenly. Such a lovely shot.
- February 10, 2010 at 10:21 AM
- Charmalade said...
This skirt fits your style so well! I like how it's a bit dressy, yet you paired it with a graphic tee. Though I have to say-- you look great, but craaazy, bare legs?? I shiver for you. :O

It must be a mid-Atlantic thing...I see insane people walking around in shorts and flip-flops in winter all the time at the U of DE! (For the record, I've never been one of them...I get cold way too easily!)
Also, I usually don't care for bubble skirts, but that one looks very cute on you.
And I love the quote you used for the title.

haha, i have a similar coat theory, except i live in one of the most termperate climates in the country...
only i hope this theory pans out while in new york because i don't have that many coats!!!!
see you soon! ;)

I think it IS a PA thing. I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to school with a guy who was determined to wear shorts every day for a year (even in the snow). And my freshman year at Penn State, I knew a guy who would wear a white undershirt and green sweat pants every day. No jacket, no different colored shirt or sweats. White undershirt and green sweats every day.
Gosh, my state is so bizarre.

Haha I don't care if I'm cold for five seconds, if it's cold I have to bring a coat! Lovely outfit, those shoes are wonderful and I love the color of your cardigan! That skirt looks like fun too!

Your photos are always so lovely, but every now and then (well, okay, pretty much every post) there is one shot that just hypnotizes me! That first one, the background, the way you're standing, hair, colors! Ahhh! So beautiful.

the skirt is exactly the kind of thing Leanne would design, it's superb. your photos are amazing as always. I wish I had a view as beautiful as yours. I love living in the city, but would kill for a getaway to where you live.

That skirt is positively divine. I like this relaxed look, and I think it's a bit rocker chic.
- February 10, 2010 at 12:54 PM
- lydia & nicole said...
my way around bare legs without being ridiculously cold is to wear white tights with skin-coloured pantyhose over the top... they look just like bare legs, but you have the benefit of another layer =)
could be a problem with open-toed shoes though... all those seams..
- February 10, 2010 at 1:01 PM
- anahita said...
I know what you mean - I'm fed up of winter clothes (and winter) and just want spring and warmth. Only when it's actually snowing do I reluctantly pull on my coat and tights... xxxx

The grey skirt is great, but it's the cardigan that makes this outfit. I love the grey in the skirt mixed with the turquoise color of the cardigan! And I'm itching to wear sandals again, but alas- I'm in Cleveland and we have about a foot and a half of snow outside =/

Leanne was my favorite of that season, I would def. love to see more of her work.
I never thought about your friends theories before, but I suppose it is true....
I love your shirt, I've been looking for a screen printed tee but haven't had any luck!
- February 10, 2010 at 1:40 PM

The killer shoes make the outfit completely you. I love how you mixed the romantic skirt with a tee and the lace-up shoes! And the cardigan adds great color.

I am always tempted to ditch the coat or opt for some sheer tights instead of leggings, but I am a big wuss. I start calculating that it will take 15 minutes to wait for the bus [each way] and then 10 to walk to class and decide that 25 minutes is enough for leggings... and occasionally, to my embarrassment, uggs.

I love the pictures you have here! Especially the one with the reflection of the trees on the water...gorgeous. :) And your outfit is lovely as well - not happy you're coatless, you tiny thing - but I agree on basic skirts and whatnot.

- Maeko @ thereafterish. said...
I like this particular piece, because like the dynamic nature of the landscapes where you photograph, there is movement in the shape and cut of the skirt, even while you are standing still.
The cut and angle of it, though, are a nice edgy, urban juxtaposition against the very pastoral existence of the elements in the background.
It's an interaction of nature and man while at the same time sort of mirroring similarities.
I don't think your friends are wise if they are doing that same thing now, considering PA has gotten pounded with at least two feet of snow in the last few days.
When there's a drop in temps and an inch of precipitation on the ground, I think nonsensical shoes (like flip flops in winter) are alright indoors but not when you are outside, no matter how little time you spend outside. If it's snowing and 25F, I'm not going to venture outside without a coat and sweater and snow boots. Granted, I will have cute accessories and shoes in my tote bag to change into the minute I get to the office, but still. Function over form first.

I just adore that skirt! Leanne was my favorite! Her final collection was just so cohesive, soft and lovely.
You are so lucky not to have to wear layers upon layers and boots with everything. I do not have the whole from a warm car to a warm someplace else possibility, and waiting for the bus takes quite some time.
Though, I'm pretty sure that even though you can go tightsless you are still hoping for an early spring with the rest of us.
- February 10, 2010 at 8:21 PM
- Gizelle said...
yes, that skirt is so 'leanne'..with it's petal construction like her final collection...
i wear flip-flops all year round but only cuz we live in a tropical country! i don't think i can survive the cold without boots and a jacket (a thick one at that)..i even almost shivered to death at 10 deg celcius in HK...LOL.

- Phyllis said...
it is a little crazy but that's kind of my theory too... it can be such a pain to have to carry all your coats and winter gear when you're tromping around indoors too
- February 10, 2010 at 8:47 PM
- lookthroughmyspecs said...
I go to school in Pittsburgh PA, and I actually know a few people who would fit perfectly into your theory. I don't understand how they can trudge through slush with their toes exposed and their arms bare, but they manage to do it all winter.
Lovely skirt!

I live in PA and maybe it is something about this place that gives us that philosophy. I haven't taken a winter jacket to school since i started high school because i walk to then end of my drive way to my brothers car and into the school. although i do bring a sweatshirt in the winter, but that's just for winter track where i'm outside running for an hour.
also, i've seen kids in the past week where boys were wearing shorts and girls were wearing skirts with nothing under them. it really may be something about the people in PA.

I can definitely understand this philosophy. When you're hopping from building to building, car to car, I'd rather be chilly for a few moments than either miserably warm or lugging a bunch of layers around after I reach my destination.
Love your skirt and tee!

My school is outdoors (which sucks beyond belief, obviously the architecht didn't catch on that it is ALWAYS RAINING HERE) so coats are generally necissary. However maybe I'm just going numb, but it seems to be getting warmer and a cardigan seems to suffice.
I love your skirt, Leanne was my all time favorite PR contestant ever. I haven't watched the new season yet, is it any good?

I love this look! Those colors look lovely together. That skirt is very Leanne-ish. My boyfriend was absolutely in love with her. I liked her designs a lot. I wonder what she's up to these days...

Modcloth did a lovely job with this skirt, and I love that it's named for Leanne. She's my favorite Project Runway designer, ever (but who doesn't love her?). And of course, I love how you've styled this. Those shoes are badass.

In IT, we sometimes coin terms for things before we know exactly what they are and how they'll be used. The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as "cloud" did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

Police get support at Fair Haven budget meetingJuly 08,2014By Darren Marcy
Staff Writer
FAIR HAVEN -- The Select Board held discussion on the town budget at its meeting Monday night and, as expected, the police budget was the topic everybody wanted to talk about.
But while Police Chief William Humphries is used to being questioned at public meetings discussing the budget, everyone who spoke was supportive of the police department and its request to maintain a fourth officer.
Former Selectwoman Claire Stanley earned round of applause from the nearly two dozen people in attendance when she spoke in support of the police budget.
"I really like the fact that if I have a problem that requires police help, I can call and somebody will be there," Stanley said. "Yes, we can afford it. When I was on the board, it was my opinion that we hire good people and then get out of their way and let them do their job."
Another avid supporter of the police at Monday's meeting was Pam Berryhill.
"It seems to me, cutting our police officers should not even be up for discussion," Berryhill said.
The lone voice at this meeting belonged to Selectman Bob Richards, who repeated his assertion that the police department could continue their level of service with three officers by shuffling some schedules and keeping more officers at home.
"How many is enough," Richards asked. "You have to decide what can the town of Fair Haven afford. We're just a very small town with a very expensive police force."

Searchers continued to sweep a two-mile radius of the park in an attempt to find Mitchell Dale Stehling, who has been missing since Sunday.
Stehling told family members at approximately 4 p.m. Sunday that he was going to hike to the Spruce Tree House near the park's headquarters. When Stehling did not return Sunday, family alerted park officials.
Park crew members searched Spruce Canyon, Spruce Tree House, Petroglyph Trail and other trails on Chapin Mesa.
The park's terrain consists of steep canyons and mesa tops at elevations between 6,500 feet and 8,000 feet.
Betty Lieurance, the park's public information officer, said Wednesday that Mesa Verde hikers usually don't go missing this length of time.
"It's usually because they took a wrong turn and we find them or they redirect themselves within two to five hours," Lieurance said.
The park is home to mountain lions and black bear. Lieurance said the last reported mountain lion attack of a hiker was in 1997.
The trails in Mesa Verde are very strenuous with steep inclines and drops. Stehling was last seen hiking to the Spruce Tree House to view cliff dwellings.
"There are places where you can fall," Lieurance said. "You can see the Spruce Tree House from the headquarters area. We're thinking he got off on the Petroglyph Trail rather than the Spruce Tree House. All of the hikes here are somewhat strenuous because you're going down and then you have to go up at a higher elevation."
The park is spread over 52,000 acres. Stehling was last seen wearing a brown shirt and hat, khaki shorts and hiking boots. He was not carrying any water or other gear.
Updates on this story coming to mySouTex.com.

Is weaning suppose to be hard or am I doing something wrong?
I have gone one week without nursing dd2 for her morning nap. It is hard she either does not sleep, passes out eatting lunch, or whines herself to sleep in the swing. I am down to one feeding when she wakes, one for afternoon nap (losing that wed.), and then at night for bedtime and then about 2 feeding in the middle of the night.
Am i wrong for letting her whine to sleep in her swing. I want to just nurse her because it is easier, but it is time to wean.
Thanks for listening

The pecan weevil is a light-brown to gray beetle ranging in size from 3/8 to 1/2 inch in length. Both males and females have a long beak or snout. The male's beak is generally shorter than the body (Fig. 1).
The larva or grub is about 1/2 inch long when mature. The body is creamy white and the head is reddish brown (Fig. 2). Pecan weevils attack both pecans and hickories. In some years as much as 95% of the nut crop can be lost to weevil damage.
Two types of damage occur. The first is caused by adult feeding. It takes place in early August prior to shell hardening or the water stage of nut development. Adult feeding at this time causes premature nut drop. The weevils penetrate the nut shell with their beak and feed on the developing kernel. This can be identified by a tobacco-like stain around the puncture site. Feeding damage may be confused with damage caused by other insects. The second and most important type of damage is caused by the feeding of the larva or grub. These larvae feed on the kernel for several weeks until they are fully developed and most of the kernel is consumed. There are few external signs of larval infestation. Shucks may adhere to the shells in the fall.
Early varieties are more susceptible to attack than later varieties. The life cycle of the pecan weevil is quite unique. Adults begin emerging from the soil in late July or early August. In late August females begin to lay from 1-4 eggs in each nut. The larvae hatch in 7-10 days and feed for several weeks. At maturity they chew a circular hole, about 1/8th inch in diameter, through the shell and drop to the ground. Here they burrow several inches into the soil and form an earthen cell. The larvae remain inactive in the soil for 12-24 months before entering the pupal stage. They transform to the adult after 30 days. The new adult remains in the soil for another 12 months before emerging from the soil. Most adults emerge from late July to early October. Prolonged dry spells may delay emergence.
Control measures are aimed at the adult stage. To achieve optimum control it is necessary to monitor adult activity, especially in dry years. Choose a tree or trees that have had weevil problems in previous years. Several trapping methods are available. The screen cone-trap is one of the better traps. Sticky bands or burlap bands around the tree trunk also will trap the weevils that attempt to climb the tree. A tarp or sack spread on the ground will also give an indication of adult emergence. Check the underside several times a week. A final method is to spread a ground cloth under the tree and jar the branches over the cloth with a pole. Monitoring should begin about the last week of July and continue until early October or until no weevils are captured.Check with your local County Extension Agent for specific insecticide recommendations.

Hello. My 8 month old sometimes (today!) refuses to nurse before lunch. I'll try like 5-6 times then I just give up because it gets so late. I end up putting more EBM ( usually 1 ounce , so I up it to 2)in his cereal when he does this. Should I delay his lunch and keep trying to get him to nurse first? It is frustrating 'cause I feel pressured to get him to eat all his cereal.
He eats twice a day. When do I know to add a third feeding of solids?


text: Great game by all. Finally finished watching my DVR of the game last night in HD. Awesome. I liked the starting lineup and I liked the energy squad with Balkman and Lee. Even Steph played alright. Well we knew Craw and Eddy had great chemistry together and I think Nate Robb and Zach have something going on too. When Nate Robb comes in, he feeds Zach in the post and Zach gets to EAT. Incredible rebounder Zach is also. Love Balkmans energy and D. This years Knicks have a shot. As far a Curry or Camby. Come on. Don't argue with teenagers because they think they know everything. If Metro is only 19 then he was only in middle school when Camby played for the Knicks and was calling in sick during the PLAYOFFS because of injuries or his sister getting kidnapped or whatever that was. You can't have that. Even Walt "Clyde" Frazier quipped during the broadcast that Camby was a good Knick but was oft injured.

Baker bill requires lawyers for juveniles
HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Senate last week unanimously passed Bill 815, which was sponsored by Senator Lisa Baker. The bill has been sent to Governor Tom Corbett, who signed it on April 9.
The bill requires that nearly all juveniles who appear in Pennsylvania Juvenile Courts be represented by legal counsel. Baker said she began thinking about the measure as early as 2008, when a scandal broke regarding two judges in Luzerne County.
The scandal, which came to be known as "Kids for Cash," involved President Judge Mark Ciavarella and Senior Judge Michael Conahan, who were accused of accepting money from a man who built for-profit juvenile facilities in Wilkes-Barre.
In turn, the judges would impose harsh sentences on the juveniles to ensure that they would be sent to the facilities.
According to the Juvenile Law Center, which initiated an investigation in 2007, the two judges received some $2.6 million in alleged kickbacks for the scheme. Furthermore, Conahan used his position of authority to help ensure that the county juvenile facility was denied funding and forced to close.
As to the scope of the scandal, the law center wrote, "From 2003 to 2008, the Luzerne County judicial corruption scandal altered the lives of more than 2500 children and involved more than 6000 cases. Over 50% of the children who appeared before Ciavarella lacked legal representation; 60% of these children were removed from their homes. Many of them were sent to one or both of the two facilities at the center of the corruption scandal."
It was the lack of representation that most concerned Baker. She said in a press release, "From the moment the details of the judicial corruption in Luzerne County came to light, I was convinced that any reform effort must include mandatory counsel legislation. As much as the public agreed, there were strongly dissenting views registered from the inside."
To get this far, she said, "has taken time, perseverance, and a refusal to be discouraged or dissuaded. Our action on Senate Bill 815 sends an important message about delivering reform, about underscoring the profound purpose of constitutional rights, and about ensuring the respect owed those appearing before our juvenile justice system."
She continued, "There is a good reason why action by each of the branches of state government has been necessary. No one in a position of responsibility acted in response to complaints—not the state judiciary, not county officials. The feds had to come in to investigate, indict and prosecute."
Under the new law, judges must state their reasons on the record for each juvenile disposition, as well as the goals, terms and conditions of the sentence. If a child is to be committed to out-of-home placement, the court must also specifically name the facility, or type of facility, as well as the reasoning behind the decision to select that facility.
The two judges involved in the scandal are now both serving time in federal prisons, and others connected with the scandal have also been convicted or pleaded guilty to various charges.

Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists
receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

NIFA Director to speak on Role of Land-Grant Universities
Princess Anne, Maryland – (January 16, 2013) – Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy, director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), talks to faculty, staff and students at UMES on Wednesday, Jan. 30, at 11:30 a.m. in the Richard A. Henson Center, room 1116. His talk, sponsored by the School of Agricultural and Natural Sciences (SANS), explores the role of land-grant universities and the NIFA in addressing global challenges.
UMES is one of two land-grant institutions in the state of Maryland that provide leadership for research in agriculture, food, biomedical sciences and natural resource conservation and use. Over the years, the SANS research program has established and maintained strong collaborative partnerships with state and federal agencies as well as other academic institutions. These linkages allow the program to be highly responsive to priorities in Maryland and the nation and to the five priority science areas of NIFA: food security and hunger, climate change, sustainable energy, childhood obesity, and food safety.
In reference to his life's work, Ramaswamy personifies the USDA's research, education and extension mission. Prior to his May 7, 2012 appointment as director of NIFA, he served as dean of Oregon State University's College of Agricultural Sciences and director of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station from 2009 to 2012. In Purdue University's College of Agriculture, he served as associate dean from 2006 to 2009. Previously, from 1997 to 2006, he was head of Kansas State University's Department of Entomology, where he held the title of Distinguished Professor and was named the Presidential Outstanding Department Head in 2002. He also served on the faculty of Mississippi State University and as a research associate at Michigan State University. As an insect physiologist, he worked on the integrative reproductive biology of insects.
Over his career, Ramaswamy has amassed research grants from many federal agencies, including the USDA, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States Agency for International Development as well as from state agencies, commodity groups and industry. He has published nearly 150 journal articles, book chapters and a book. As a scientist and department head, he has received a number of awards and honors, including being named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America, and Distinguished Graduate Alumnus of Cook College at Rutgers University.
While this event is free and open to the campus and to the community, pre-registration is required, as seating is limited to 70 people. For more information about the Ramaswamy seminar or to pre-register, go to www.umes.edu/sans or call 410-651-6072.
