Level Up Fill Up
So you're playing your favorite RPG. It's been a while since you hit the inn, and your character is feeling it: his HP is pretty low. He can't take much more... Level Up! What happened? Whence come these new found Hit Points? You didn't use a potion or heal spell, so it must be... a Level Up Fill Up. Commonly occurs either after defeating an enemy or at the end of a battle when Experience Points are distributed. Depending on how scarce healing is, and when hit points are restored, this can be a major factor in your strategy. Usually though, it's just a perk. Frequently averted in more "realistic" games where a level up increases your health total, but not your current health; this leaves you "injured" when you previously weren't, but can be explained as needing rest to gain the benefits of training. Other games increase your current health, but only enough to leave you with the same number of missing hit points or the same percentage health. A similar phenomenon is the Healing Checkpoint. Not to be confused with After Boss Recovery where your health is restored after a boss fight, regardless of experience point totals (although boss fights do frequently cause characters to level, and they overlap when a Heart Container is involved). Can be semi-justified as Heroic Second Wind.
open/close all folders
Action Adventure
- Partially used in Batman: Arkham Asylum, every time you get EXP, it refills your health gauge an equivalent amount. Since you only get EXP after defeating all enemies in an encounter it won't save you in the middle of a fight, but it's convenient to heal you immediately after.
- In The Legend of Zelda games, when you get a new Heart Container, all of your hearts fill up. Overlaps with After Boss Recovery, since it's usually released by the boss.
- Zelda II The Adventure Of Link distinguishes between heart containers, magic containers, health level-ups AND magic level-ups. Only their respective gauges would be restored on pickup or level-up.
- In Beyond Good & Evil Jade gets fully healed whenever she gets a new PA-1. PA-1s are "Physiological Accelerators", literally "Your energy gauge increases by one heart."
- In Metal Gear Solid it also overlaps with After Boss Recovery. When you defeat a Boss Fight Snake smokes a celebratory cigarette. Although smoking normally drains your health, on these occasions it expands your health gauge and fills it. This is very helpful when trying to beat the game with low ration use in order to get the higher codename rankings.
Beat Em Up
- When this happens in Senran Kagura, HP and Ninja Arts energy are restored. Any damage to clothing remains as is.
- In Castle Crashers, HP is refilled to full after a level up.
- No matter where you put the stat point gained for an Omega Factor entry in Astro Boy: Omega Factor, you get your HP restored.
First Person Shooter
- The player character instantly regenerates all health and shields upon level-up in both Borderlands games. However, there is also a very rare enemy example of this present in Borderlands 2. The Goliaths are unique in that they can level-up by killing off their bandit buddies when you shoot of their helmet, causing them to fly into a rage (each level only takes a common enemy or two). Every time they do, their health instantly refills; while this can make killing them more difficult, it also makes it easier to "feed" them a large number of enemies to increase their level then kill that Goliath for more XP and better loot.
- In PAYDAY: The Heist, when you get a Reputation Level increase, your health gets reset back to maximum, you get placed back on your feet if you're downed (and it counts as being helped up for the purposes of challenges), and if you just unlocked your first secondary weapon, you also get that weapon at however much ammo you would've had at the start of the mission. Very handy, but if you hit level 145, you won't be getting another one until another skill tree gets added. Playing on Overkill or Overkill 145+ removes this.
- The first two F.E.A.R. games do this for your health (in the first game) and Slow-Mo bars every time you pick up a health or reflex booster. They're more useful for saving up medkits in areas where they're scarce rather than as a quick boost mid-combat, though, as boosters are typically hidden in areas where there is no combat and your Slow-Mo bar will have already refilled on its own anyway. F.3.A.R. plays it even straighter with actual level-ups that increase your total health and/or Slow-Mo bar.
- Duke Nukem Forever, like Borderlands 2 above, also gets a rare enemy version, where sometimes after dealing enough damage to a Pigcop it will enter a berserker mode and regain all its health.note
- Medal of Honor: Airborne gets a minor version, where whenever you make enough kills with a weapon to unlock an attachment or upgrade to it, time slows down as you're given that attachment and the game tells you what it does, leading to things such as the military-style foregrip on your Thompson instantly transforming into a gangland-esque pistol grip or the magazine loaded into your gun magically doubling in length or taping a second one to itself. You also get infinite ammunition for the duration of the slow-down effect, making it easier to clear out an area if you level up after killing one or two of five-plus guys.
- In World of Warcraft leveling up restores all health and mana. Very handy if you happen to level up while fighting lots of tough enemies.
- You also used to be able to level in restricted battlegrounds or while queuing for these, having access to new abilities or even a mount for one match.
- Interestingly, Combat Pets also heal some of their health after each fight based on how much experience they got besides getting healed completely when leveling up. This may be because they can't heal themselves outside of fights unlike players can.
- Happens in Free Realms when you level up a combat job.
- Phantasy Star Online plays this trope straight. Heck, it's even a recommended strategy for beating challenge mode in the fastest time possible. Timing your level ups so you can restore your TP at the right times is an art in this game.
- As does its sequel, Phantasy Star Universe.
- Occurs in City of Heroes, although this is a relatively new addition to gameplay. If your character levels up while defeated (i.e. killed) due to team shared experience, they will be revived during their Level Up Fill Up.
- It was added in a deliberate move to make leveling up even more rewarding - both health and endurance are fully restored and the character receives the effects of all the strongest inspirations in the game - essentially boosting all their stats for a short time. Especially stylish if you can time it to occur during a boss fight by killing a mook.
- MapleStory both plays this trope straight and averts it. Leveling up increases your HP and MP to their max base values. Have equipment that grants you extra HP or MP? The level-up fillup doesn't care; you'll have to gain those points through standard gameplay means.
- Guild Wars 2 gives full health and endurance, revives you if you're downed, instantly charges certain class abilities, and launches nearby enemies. Tomes of knowledge give a level on use. Cue underleveled players using them to instantly heal and send enemies flying, especially in World Vs. World. This has since been corrected by making them unusable in combat.
- Played straight in Elsword. Very handy in the middle of a dungeon run; less so in the field when you can duck back into a safe zone.
- In every Ratchet & Clank game starting with the second, you have two kinds of fill-ups. When Ratchet's health levels up, he gets fully healed (in most games) and emits a flash of energy that kills every nearby enemy. When a weapon levels up, its ammo gets refilled.
- Leading to the odd effect that it's often easier/better to be lower levels than be full-up, due to the rate of growth; especially egregious is the Harbinger weapon in the 4th game that pretty much doesn't run out of ammo until you reach max level with it, at which point it's often Too Awesome to Use.
- Castlevania II Simons Quest does this and gives you more health as per the level up.
- La-Mulana doesn't actually have character levels, but it does have an EXP bar. When you fill it up, it replenishes your life meter.
- In Skylanders, bolts of lightning announce every level-up; this not only refills the current character's HP, but smites any nearby enemies with a One-Hit Kill.
- When you gain a level or Paragon Level in Diablo III, not only is your health and whatever form of Mana your class is using fully restored, but all enemies are knocked away from you.
- NetHack does this to a certain extent. It's not a complete fill up, but Hp remain proportional to MaxHp. For an early character that gains Hp quickly when leveling up this can be the difference between life and death in a fight with a group of monsters.
- A vital strategy in puzzle/roguelike Desktop Dungeons, where natural regeneration is very finite and arranging to level midbattle is almost necessary to defeat strong monsters.
- In Dungeons of Dredmor, leveling up fully restores both your Life Meter and your Mana Meter.
- Even an RPG that has been stripped down to its simplest mechanics can have this, as seen in Parameters.
- Science Girls for the PC has this trope kick in for whichever of your characters levels up after combat. Due to the general scarcity of healing items, this can be a real life saver.
- Mega Man X: Command Mission not only refilled your LE, but also removed negative status conditions and restored your Hyper Mode turns.
- While HP in The World Ends with You always fills up between battles (counting chain battles as a single battle), Exp is earned when you defeat an enemy (there's also another way: if you get the Technical [EXP] sticker, you get [EXP] related to how high you can make your [HITS] counter go), so you can level up in mid-battle. Useful if you're getting low and one or more of the remaining enemies is pretty tough.
- The Paper Mario series restores Mario's Heart Points when he levels up. The first two games 1) also restore Flower Points at this time, and 2) defer Star Point (exp) gains, and therefore level ups, to the ends of battles. It's a reliable way of recovering HP in dungeons without using many items or if you can't find heart boxes.
- The Thousand-Year Door also restores your partner's HP during level ups. The level-up refill is also much more useful in this game. There is a point in the end-game where you must fight two bosses in a row, and if you time your level-up to happen after killing the first one, you get back all your HP and FP for the second one. It is also a very useful tool for refilling health during the Pit of 100 Trials, where healing items are scarce.
- Super Paper Mario is more platformy, and takes each enemy as a separate deal.
- Averted in Pokémon, when a Pokemon levels up, its current HP is increased by the same rate as the increase of its maximum HP, so it's not much in most cases, and your Pokemon will keep the same amount of damage as before.
- It is, however, played straight in the spinoff game Pokemon Ranger, and its sequels.
- This happens even if a Pokémon is fainted (where it is still possible to use a Rare Candy), which causes the Pokémon to revive. Evolution is also deferred until after battle and can also cause even fainted Pokémon to gain HP.
- In Planet Alcatraz, leveling up restores full HP, but doesn't heal critical wounds. Also, unconscious characters also have their HP filled, but don't wake up until all hostiles on the map are dead.
- In Fire Emblem a few games have HP restored when a character classes up, but averts it with normal level ups, leaving a character with 1 hp of damage (if at full health). This usually comes into play as a free chance to allow your staff wielders heal and get XP themselves.
- In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion at least, you have to rest in a bed to level up, so you heal up regardless. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the other hand lets you level up at any time, which naturally allows you to use a level up in the middle of a fight for cheap, one-time healing.
- Leveling up also restores all HP and MP in Final Fantasy XI. It's actually employed as a strategy in certain fights by using an EXP scroll with your EXP towards the next level at the minimum for leveling up.
- Also occurs in Diablo and the sequels, where both your health and mana is restored on leveling.
- Diablo3 even takes this further where you shoot off an aura that damages your enemies on Level-up.
- In the game Sailor Moon: Another Story, characters are given all their HP back when they level up, unless they're knocked out which means they don't level up with the others.
- In the Knights of the Old Republic series, leveling up restores all hit points (once you pick your skills and whatnot). Leveling up during the middle of a fight is not always advisable, since you have essentially a free massive medpac should things go south.
- Happens in Secret of Mana and Dawn of Mana.
- Also in Sword of Mana, but with a twist: You don't get healed until you've opened the Ring Menu and picked the level-up path your character is to take. It's possible to "stock up" levels in this way and only use them when your health is low to save on resources and time.
- Super Mario RPG also exhibits this trope.
- Final Fantasy Adventure had a pop-up message when the main character leveled up, which basically said "Level up - HP and MP restored".
- Disgaea completely averts this: Not only you get no full heal, but you don't get a "percentage heal" either. So, a character at full HP looks damaged after leveling up. Tne only exception is the Wood Golem's evility "Fresh Green Sprout", which invokes this trope, but given that it's a later evility, it's up to the player as to wether they use it or not.
- At least one of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles games do this. Somewhat bizarre if you're familiar with the regular Final Fantasy games, which don't even bother to heal you you by the amount your HP increased.
- Taken up to twelve in the first Luminous Arc. To elaborate: Your HP and MP refill whenever you level up. If one of your units heals or buffs any of your other units, it gets 30 EXP; if one of your units heals or buffs itself and any other unit (enemies included) at the same time, it gets 30 EXP. You level up at every 100 EXP. You can see the infinite loop where you can get your White Mage to Lv.99 in a single battle as soon as she's able to cast a multi-target heal spell that heals as much damage as the weakest enemy in the game can deal (for the record, the basic multitarget heal spell heals about 4x the caster's level); if she's too weak to take out enemies on her own at the time, bring a unit that can buff her for even more levelling. Yes, you can level up by being a nice guy and healing enemies (as long as you heal the caster with the same spell). Why is this Up To Twelve instead of Up to Eleven? If you repeatedly cast healing spells on a character enough times, they'll get an Anti-Magic shield that lasts for 3 hits. And the next time you cast a heal spell on them after the shield disappears? They'll probably get another one, even if it's not in the same battle. Yes, this makes preparations for the final boss much easier: did I mention its primary attacks are magic? So, in short, not only does Luminous Arc give you a Level Up Fill Up, it rewards you for abusing it.
- In Dragon Age: Origins, leveling up restores health and mana/stamina. Note that you can't select new abilities or stats (as per usual leveling up) while still in combat.
- Shin Megami Tensei games have this, except Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, where this only happens sometimes.
- Same for some games in the Persona series, like Persona 2, where HP and SP is fully restored.
- Games from the Digimon World series usually feature this. In Digimon World 2, though, it's quite welcome, since you don't have that much space for healing items, anyway.
- Dokapon Kingdom maxes your HP at a level up. Given that you move around the board based on a spin of a dial, it can be frustratingly difficult to heal yourself on a whim, so this HP handout is a welcome gift.
- Dragon Ball Z: Legend of the Super Saiyan restores your HP and KI at a level up without having to go to an inn or using an item card. It helps when you're in a dangerous situation because if your character's HP reaches zero, they're dead.
- The Scott Pilgrim game has this, which is a life-saver, since unless you've grinded 500+ dollars or found the secret shop, there's only 1 extra life in the game.
- Muramasa The Demon Blade employs this trope... unless you're playing in Shigurui Mode. Due to Dynamic Difficulty and Level Scaling, the game is always intended to be a challenge, so just to keep up, one must be overlevelled for the last Bonus Dungeon. Not to the level cap of 99, however, due to this trope. It's a recommended tactic to level to the mid-nineties or a little lower, and use level ups in place of healing items, which you can only carry a limited amount of at any time.
- Resonance of Fate characters will be healed when they level up, especially useful as they will typically level up mid battle rather then after.
- Rondo of Swords doesn't have it by default, but certain characters can learn and set the Eternal Rage skill, which completely restores HP and MP upon leveling up.
- Radiata Stories.
- In Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, you get an HP and SP refill when you level up, as well as when you exit a dungeon. Once you hit the level cap, you can still earn EXP to fill up the level progress ring; doing so gets you another free refill and empties the ring again.
- Rune Factory games do this with both Health and Rune Power (magic).
- Marvel: Avengers Alliance has a variant; HP gets automatically refilled between battles, but your energy bar (which marks how many battles you can participate in and normally takes six hours to completely refill once it's empty) will fill up to the maximum each time you level up.
- The Super Famicom game Shiki Eiyuuden has this. Since the game is very hard, you might as well not make it to level 2 without going to the shrine to fill your HP.
- Kabuki Rocks has this.
- In Twilight Heroes, your HP and PP are refilled once you pay to reach the next level.
- Grinsia downplays this: Upon a level-up, HP is restored and status effects are removed, but MP is not.
- In A Witchs Tale, this trope is the biggest incentive to just spam Liddell's Ancient Magic on everything. More often than not, she'll gain a level before fully running out of MP.
- Faria refills your HP when you gain a level.
- Some titles in the Might and Magic series do this.
- Might and Magic VI, Might and Magic VII and Might and Magic VIII all require you visit a training centre to level up, but as part of the actual gaining of a level, your party will rest, fully healing them. Of course, if you then spend the skill point you got on Body Building or Meditation (which increase a character's hit points and spell points, respectively), they won't still be fully healed.
- Might and Magic X: Legacy, on the other hand, almost plays the trope completely straight... except for the fact that leveling up still gives each character skill points they can put into skills that raise their HP and MP, and ALSO gives them points they can put into their stats including the stats governing how much HP and MP they have. Still, it's still possible for a character to level mid-combat, allowing them to then fire off their super-powerful spell a second time that combat.
- Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals fully restores HP, AP, and status upon levelling up. An NPC in Parcelyte will even suggest to you that if a party member is injured, you can just switch to another character and wait until the injured character gets a Level Up Fill Up via Leaked Experience.
- Used against you by Legendary enemies in Fallout 4. When they reach a certain health threshold, they "mutate," gaining all their health back and a boost to their stats.
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky does this two-fold: filling up your HP and your EP (essentially magic points). Very useful if you have consecutive or multi-stage bosses and you can keep your characters alive.
- Rare strategy example: Civilization
- In Civilization IV promoting a unit heals it partially, frequently allowing the player to attack multiple consecutive turns with the same unit if it has leveled. This can frequently be the difference between capturing a city or being unable to move forward, too injured to continue.
- Civilization V exchanges this for a different mechanic: one can choose to completely restore the health of a leveled-up unit in exchange for not selecting any permanent bonus for them that level.
- Units in Battle for Wesnoth regain all their hit points when they level up... leading to a dilemma of whether or not to attack a wounded unit that's about to fill its XP bar.
- Once a unit has reached it's highest class, further level ups only provide a few additional hitpoints, making the free heal the most significant benefit.

It's that time of the year again — time to enjoy the winners of this year's Mondavi Center Young Artists Competition as they present a showcase concert in the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre on Sunday at 2 p.m.
This will be the sixth year for the competition, and pianist Lara Downes, who organizes the event, told The Enterprise that several changes have been made this time around as the competition's reputation has grown.
"This is the first year the competition was open to people from all around the country," Downes said. "Until this year, it was a statewide competition, only open to people from California. Now we have national eligibility. That was the big change."
She added, "We got applicants from all over, including one finalist from the Sacramento area, pianist Ann Deng from El Dorado Hills, in the junior division."
There's another procedural change.
"We have added a semifinal round, so we now have three rounds for judging," Downes said. "The first round involved taped performances that we reviewed in October. We narrowed down the field, and then held a live semifinal round in January.
"Our final round will be held on Saturday — we'll have up to 19 performers competing. We will announce the winners on Saturday evening, and then we'll have a concert with as many as six of the winners on Sunday."
There will be contestants in multiple categories: ensembles, pianists, vocalists and instrumentalists, ranging in age from 8 to 21.
"Distribution-wise, we have more vocalists participating this year," Downes said. "The other change this year, we dropped the very young vocalist category. Now, the vocal category is for pre-professionals, ages 17 to 21.
"Another thing that's new and different this year — we commissioned a young composer from the Bay Area, Ryan Brown, to write a piece that is required for the competition. We like the idea of making use of a new commissioned work, to ensure that the kids are playing something truly contemporary. This will be an annual feature of the competition."
Brown also wrote a piece for the January recital in the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre by 2007 Young Artists Competition Grand Prize winner Kenrick Tam, a pianist from the Bay Area who is now a junior at Harvard. And Tam's appearance in January represented another change.
"The Mondavi Center's Debut Series (one of several subscription series that the center offers) will annually feature one of the past winner winners in the Mondavi Center Young Artist Competition," Downes said.
This will help launch the competition winners on their budding careers as concert artists.
Judges this year include Christian Baldini, conductor of the UC Davis Symphony; composer Ryan Brown; Sheri Greenawald, of the San Francisco Opera Center; Rod Gideons, general manager of Sacramento Opera; and Aileen James, who organizes the In Concert Sierra series in Nevada County, and formerly served on the piano faculty at Stanford University and Santa Clara University.
Support for the sixth annual Mondavi Center Young Artists Competition came from Lois and John Crowe, Mary Horton and Barbara K. Jackson — all veteran supporters of the performing arts in Davis.
Tickets for Sunday's 2 p.m. concert are $20 general, $10 for students, available at http://www.mondaviarts.org or (530) 754-2787.
And yes, plans are already under way for next year's competition, with semifinal events at the Mondavi Center beginning Jan. 7.

A Day at the Fair: Weather, Winners and Winfrey.
This was the plan:
Cowboys will trounce the sorry ass Chiefs, so I'll sneak off with friends to the Fair on Sunday afternoon and let TiVo leisurely give me the highlights when I get home. During a Cowboys game Fair Park shouldn't be too crowded. And the weather will be perfect: Gray, 60s, dry.
This was the reality:
Holy hell.
First of all, the Cowboys barely escaped the Chiefs, forcing every man at the Fair to offer a constant stream of "excuse me"'s as we all checked our phone for the impossibly nervous live updates instead of looking where we were going. The distractions prompted a endless mass of human bumper-car confrontations along the Midway. Sounded something like this: "No!" "Another penalty!" "Ouch." "Sorry."
Secondly, everyone was there. I mean, ev-uh-ree-one.
A guy who really looked liked Channel 8 weatherman Greg Fields. A guy showing off a classic car who looked nothing like former Texas Ranger Jeff Kunkel but wore his name tag just the same. Lots and lots of people who made me feel real skinny. And the Big O.
Not Oscar Robertson, but a woman in a Cowboy hat that resembled Her Highness ...
Oprah, who is doing her show today from the Fair's main stage, was emceeing some squirt-gun Midway game under the ferris wheel when God offered his opinion in the form of rain. Cold, windy, sideways rain.
Smartest dude in Dallas: The guy whose T-shirt painting booth suddenly transformed into "Panchos, $3!"
I ingested a turkey leg, a corny dog, an ear of corn, a Belgian waffle, some funnel cake, a root beer, two light beers, half a cup of wine and an ulcer-inducing overtime escape all wrapped around a 10-coupon trip on some loop-dee-loop death trap called the Fire Ball. Only reason I'm alive this morning: No fried butter.
Even in the midst of Hurricane Oprah, Cowboys-Chiefs and a Fall flood, the line for the artery-clogging cuisine wrapped around three booths.

A Hurley, Wisconsin school bus, returning a volleyball team from a match in Wakefield, collided with a pickup truck on Thursday night.
The crash happened around 9 p.m. at the intersection of US-2 and Sophie Street in the City of Bessemer.
A 15-year-old student from Montreal, Wisconsin was taken by ambulance to Aspirus Grand View Hospital where she was treated and released. No other injuries were reported.
The Gogebic County Sheriff says the school bus was traveling west on US-2 when a pickup truck, driven by 18-year-old Nicholas Obradovich of Wakefield, attempted to cross the highway in front of the bus.
Obradovich was cited for failure to yield.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt East and Bullitt Central will share a softball tournament this weekend when the High Five Bullitt County Softball invitational Tournament takes place at both schools.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - A tip from an area metal seller led to the arrest of a Bardstown man Wednesday afternoon.
Mike A. Snodgrass, Jr., 41, was taken into custody by Mt. Washington Police at a Louisville scrap yard.
MWPD Det. Buddy Stump said Snodgrass was detained after allegedly stealing $500 worth of scrap aluminum from a resident of Stout Lane.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A comeback from a 4-1 deficit midway through the fifth inning highlighted a second straight 1-1 week for the Bullitt Central baseball team to open the season.
The big rally saw the Cougars move ahead of Waggener 6-4 only to have the game go into extra innings. Bullitt Central then run with a run in the bottom of the eighth. That win capped a week that also included a 12-8 loss at home to Bethlehem.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Finding enough money to address all the wants is difficult in good financial times.
But to prepare a budget during a time of economic recession with a growing population, inflation and expenses outpacing revenues, Bullitt County Fiscal Court members have quite a task ahead them as the Judge/Executive's office prepares a budget for the 2010-2011 Fiscal Year.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Subdivision plan approvals are made to be simple.
However, the Bullitt County Joint Planning Commission will often find reason to delay a decision pending some additional work.
Such was the case recently for a 238-acre subdivision for the Korfhage Family Trust.
Billy Frank Harned presented the 22-lot subdivision plan to the commission. The property would be off of Ridge Road.
LEBANON JUNCTION - A construction worker received severe burns after being covered with tar at a school construction site.
The incident took place at Lebanon Junction Elementary school shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
A male employee with Tatum Construction was working with the tar in the central front section of the school building.
LOUISVILLE - One of the first things that Ricky Hoffman noted when he got the job as the Bullitt East softball coach in February was that the team did not have a spring break tournament on the schedule.
Some quick calls and emails landed the team in the Southern Softball Bash at Southern High School. While the event turned out to have a few scheduling mishaps, the total tourney ended up being a positive for the Lady Chargers as they posted a 4-1 record, losing in the championship game to a team from Tennessee.
ZONETON - Kyle Hoskins grew up as a wrestling fan. His current favorite is former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) champion John Cena.
Thanks to a school librarian and a few books, Hoskins met Cena in person at WrestleMania XXV.
He now hopes to repeat the moment again during an all-expenses-paid trip to Phoenix for WrestleMania XXVI.
The Zoneton Middle School eighth grader earned a second Southeast Regional win in The WrestleMania Reading Challenge presented by the Young Adult Library Services Association.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - When is the last time education had an extra $3 million to spend?
Thanks to federal stimulus funds, Bullitt County finds itself in that position for its special education program.
But special education director Monica Tharp isn't going out and spending it all at one time. During a recent special meeting, Tharp talked with school board members about what is planned for the extra funds.
LOUISVILLE - Three individuals face multiple burglary charges in both Bullitt and Jefferson County following a rash of burglaries.
Two men who confessed to burglarizing several homes in Bullitt County's north end were arrested by Louisville Metro Police Saturday.
Twain Harris, 19, was charged with at least eight counts of second-degree burglary.

Re: using a python script to create a custom toolcurtvprice Mar 24, 2013 3:11 PM (in response to mr_maps)
My assignment is to create a custom tool on the tool bar using a python script.
Do you need to create an add-in? Here's the help on that:
Help 10.1: Creating an AddIn project
Re: using a python script to create a custom tooljohnmdye Apr 2, 2013 12:47 PM (in response to mr_maps)probably the simplest thing to get you started is to just create a Python Addin with a single button on a toolbar that buffers a layer in the TOC.
You'll need to:
- Download the Python Addin Wizard.
- Start the Python Addin Wizard and Create a Toolbar with a Single Button on it.
- Save the Addin and then hit the Open Folder Button.
- Go into the Install Folder and script contained in that folder.
For a button, you don't need any of the functions except for the OnClick function.
import arcpy import pythonaddins class SuperBuffer(object): """Implementation for LYR.THM_WkrsSqMi (Button)""" def __init__(self): self.enabled = True self.checked = False def onClick(self): #Instantiate 'mxd' and 'df' as the Map Document and DataFrame variables mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current") print "'mxd' instantiated as Map Document variable." df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd) print "'df' instantiated as DataFrame variable." #Create a Variable for the Layer you wish to Buffer. Later, you can get this dynamically #by using the 'arcpy.mapping.ListLayers' function to populate a Combobox with the layers #in your TOC layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "Layer you want to Buffer", df) print "'layer' variable instantiated." #Create a Variable to hold your Output FC so that you can add it to the Map after it #is created by the buffer tool. out_fc ="Layer_Buffer" print "'out_fc' variable instantiated." #Establish your Workspace workspace = arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\Temp\MyFileGeodatabase.gdb" print "Workspace set." #Run the Buffer Analysis on your Layer. You could also specify the distance and unit #of measurement dynamically using Comboboxes for Each and use the 'selection' for #those Comboboxes as the input. print "Buffering Layer..." arcpy.Buffer_analysis(layer, workspace + "\"" + out_fc, "2 Miles", "FULL", "ROUND", "ALL") print "Buffer Operation Complete." #Add the newly created Buffer Layer to your MXD print "Adding Buffer to Map Document" arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, out_fc, "AUTO_ARRANGE") print "Script Complete"
- Save the Script and back out of the Install Folder.
- Run the makeaddin.py script to compile the addin and generate the ESRI Addin file.
- Double click on the ESRI Addin File to install it.
- Open up the Python Window so you can see the Print Statements as the script progresses.
- Modify the script as neccesary.
Disclaimer: I just wrote this out of my head, I didn't test or compile it so you might need to do some tweaking to get it to work, but I think it should run 'out-of-the-box'.

Bulls GM Forman addresses assistant coach Adams' departure
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Following Monday's introductory press conference for draft picks Tony Snell and Erik Murphy, Bulls general manager Gar Forman returned to the podium at the Berto Center to address the departure of Tom Thibodeau's lead assistant coach, Ron Adams.
Adams, who had two stints with the Bulls — he was an assistant under Scott Skiles and returned in 2010 with Thibodeau, who he previously coached with in San Antonio and Philadelphia — was informed that his contract wouldn't be renewed Friday, as first reported by the Chicago Tribune.
[WATCH: Bulls introduce rookies Snell, Murphy]
In a statement given to the assembled media before Forman spoke, the executive said, "We want to thank Ron for everything that he brought to this organization in his role as assistant coach, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. After assessing the situation, it was my decision that this was in the best interest of the Bulls organization."
In the same statement, Thibodeau added, "Ron is a great friend, an outstanding coach and I will miss him."
When asked by reporters to elaborate about the situation, Forman replied, "I really can't.
"I think with any type of personnel decision, I think it's best left unsaid, as far as why decisions were made. So I don't think it does anybody any good to go into specifics and that would be with any type of personnel decision we make, whether it's a player or anything else," he continued, later adding, "I don't want to go into details."
Because of Thibodeau's long professional relationship and personal friendship with Adams, there has been speculation that his departure has created a rift between the Bulls' coaching staff and front office, and specifically between Thibodeau and Forman.
However, while it can be assumed that Thibodeau was not ecstatic about the decision, for better or worse, the nature of the relationship between him and the general manager won't change, meaning that while they might not be best buddies off the court, as long as the Bulls continue to win on the court, they will continue to tolerate each other professionally.
"I think Tom and I have a very good working relationship and like I said, there's a number of decisions that have to be made, sometimes in a day," Forman explained. "We're not always going to agree on everything, but at the end of the day, I think we both have the best interest of the Bulls moving forward.
"Tom and I talked about it. Tom and I communicate on a consistent basis, on a daily basis, as far as all those decisions I'm talking about and at the end of the day, there's times where I make decisions that Tom doesn't fully agree with. There may be times where Tom makes decisions that I don't totally agree with. It's like that, I think, in any business," he went on to say. "The key thing to me is that at the end of the day, I've got to make decisions that I feel are best for the Bulls organization that we communicate, we talk about and once the decision is made, we unite and we continue to move forward.
"At the end of the day, Tom is going to recommend who he wants hired. At the end of the day, I've got final say over personnel, as far as coaches. But in the past, obviously if I felt comfortable with it and Tom wanted a guy, that's the direction we're going to go."
[WATCH: Thibodeau says both rookies are great workers]
Adams was the most senior member of the Bulls' coaching staff and had good relationships with the players, but while the move was a surprise, he wasn't unfamiliar to Bulls management, meaning that whatever Forman and the rest of the front office saw as problematic about him is unlikely to be a new development.
"We make tens, if not hundreds of decisions every year and we make decisions on everything, from free agency to trades to drafts, which we just went through, to different personnel within the organization. We make a lot of different decisions and when we make a decision like this, I don't think it serves anybody well to go into detail of why the decision was made. The decision was made by me because I felt it was the best decision for the Bulls moving forward and at the end of the day, those are the decisions that I have to make. Again, whether it's personnel or players or whatever it may be, there's a process in place. There's obviously a lot of talk, a lot of communication with our staff," Forman said. "I don't think we want to evaluate every decision and who's on board.
"Tom obviously makes the decisions on the floor. He's our head coach. I think he's as good as coach as there is in the NBA. He's a great coach. I think he does a good job. Do I agree with absolutely every decision he makes? We'll communicate, probably not. But at the end of the day, I'm going to support decisions he makes and I think he's going to support decisions I make and again, as long as once they're made, we unite and move forward because the goal is to get this team better and to compete for a championship as we move forward."
The organization hasn't started the process of replacing Adams, according to Forman, nor have the Bulls decided on who will be the staff's new lead assistant, though it can be presumed that role will go to either Adrian Griffin or Ed Pinckney, the latter of whom is being pursued for that opportunity in Memphis, where he interviewed for the since-filled head-coaching vacancy.
"The rest of the staff remains in place and under contract. As far as adding to the staff, that's something we'll be discussing here over the next couple of days and we'll see how we want to address that," Forman said. "[Naming a new lead assistant coach is] something, over the nest couple of days or couple weeks, something we'll be discussing, as far as staffing, but at this point, we haven't done anything.

I started taking this and after a week I started to feel so much better. My stomach doesn;t seem to be so sensitive to certain foods like it used to. My skin looks better than it ever has. I no longer have to take heartburn medications. My stomach no longer looks bloated and my hands are no longer swollen. And I feel like I have so much more energy. After all of that my daughter now takes it along with my husband, my parents and my inlaws.

Because my Probiotic All-Flora arrived without being chilled, I was concerned it was no longer active and contacted New Chapter. I was assured the product is shelf stable and needs refrigeration only after opening, as indicated on the label.
Best Probiotic Supplement.

This is the BEST probiotic supplement I have ever taken. I have tried few different brands and they either didn't work or had some side effects with them. But not with this one and it works fast. I take this with New Chapter Probiotic Colon for Healthy Bowel Function. I no longer have to dread what I eat and fear that it will upset my digestion system and I have normal, daily bowels. It's a life saver for me and I will always take this.

I've been using All Flora for almost 2 years....I cannot complain about it. It is an excellent probiotic. I use it to regulate my digestive processes and it is GREAT. I buy it from iherb because of the exceptional price and the fact that it is shipped cold to help preserve the microorganisms.
Works great!

Baltimore Bike Commuting Challenges
A colleague of mine and I commute by bike from Catonsville to Locust Point 2-3 times a week. With the state's current level of construction surrounding Baltimore, most days the bike commute is a faster commute. It is 45 minutes in (almost all downhill), about an hour home and almost perfectly 9 miles door-to-door. But there are challenges…
There is a bike trail that covers over three miles of it but we avoid it. There was a spate of bike jackings there in June. In fact, the guy who discovered that the city of Baltimore was closing their police stations at night was bike jacked [Link]. Also during July, there was week the city was pumping water in theory into the Gywnns Falls but most of it was on the trail. The fellows doing the work seemed very unconcerned that their work was wrecking the trail. We had been using the trail in the morning with the idea that most bike jackers would still be in bed at 7:30 am. I have been commuting on my Atlantis Rivendell and I have no desire to lose it. So we have been riding Frederick to Wilkins to Pigtown to Federall Hill to Locust Point and the reverse. Until last Wednesday, this has worked great. Last Wednesday, I was hit head on by a teenager in Pigtown on a BMX bike. I flatted, wrecked my Wald basket and apparently bent my front fork. Personally, I got a small amount of road rash and a minor concussion. The Uber ride home is a bit of a blur… The teen rode off without a word of concern.
I love the idea of the commute. I get energized on the way into work and unwind on the way home. But I am beginning to wonder if it is worth the hassle. The cops are not arresting murderers so the chances they care about bike safety is probably a negative number. Politically, Baltimore is probably on the way to being the murder capital of the US for 2015. Bike safety is probably lower on the mayor's priorities than the cop's. I get that a runaway murder rate and a currently ineffective police force should be the top priorities. I am not asking for a task force but a bike cop on the Gywnns Falls trail during morning and evening rush hour would go a long way to making Baltimore a better place.
Sweet Soma Buena Vista For Sale
If you've read John's most recent post, you know we're the very pleased owners of new Bilenky bikes, and we've been logging some miles on them in preparation for plans to do the Civil War Century metric in September and the Seagull Century in October.
Acquiring a new bike has over-filled our bike storage space. Options are a) build a new shed, b) sell a bike, or build one of these:
We're going with (b). I'm selling the Soma. It's quite a beauty, a 42 cm Soma Buena Vista mixte. It fits me (5″1″) well. Great for local rides, road rides long and short, light touring and general fun. Here's the Craig's List ad. This price listed doesn't include shipping. Contact me here or via Craig's List. It's going for $1200 (plus shipping) – a big savings over the cost of the build and a perfect bike for your upcoming adventures!
Bilenky Ti-Coupled Travel Bike
As we have noted here before, Nancy and I purchased new bikes from Bilenky Cycle Works back in December. We got titanium coupled travel bikes that break down to fit into a suitcase. These are both all-road bikes in that they are built like road bikes but they have fat tires (I have 42mm Hetres on my bike).
The Build (John's Bike)
On my bike, I was aiming to go as much "Made in the USA" as I could in the build. Here is my list of USA-supplied parts:
– Paul Racer Brakes
– White Industries hubs
– Velocity rims
– SRAM Force drivetrain/shifters. Not really made in the US but of the three big choices the closest I could get.
– Crank Brothers Candy 3 pedals (see above)
– Compass Cycles Hetre tires. Again not made in the US but the company is based in the US.
– Porcelain Rocket rear bag (Canada – close enough)
– Oveja Negra top tub bag
– Swift Industries front rack bag
Parts not made in the US include
– Nitto stem, handlebars (randonneur type), and seat post
– Berthoud saddle
– Brooks handlebar tape
So Tell Me About the Ride
The ride is pretty close to perfect. By that I mean, it is as perfect as I have ever ridden but hey maybe just maybe there is a more perfect I am unaware of. It is possible I suppose. The Bilenky team nailed it. I am comfortable for long stretches and a bit faster. The tires just eat up rotten pavement and I have discovered rotten pavement pretty much every ride I have lately. Whether it be Mid-Maryland, Baltimore, or upstate New York.
Nice Bike Rack
Nancy and I have a Thule hitch rack that we have used for about three years. It is a very good 1 1/4-inch hitch rack where the bikes hang from a top cradle. This works great with a regular bike but is a complete pain-in-the-ass with Nancy's mixte frames. You need to get a bar that attaches to the stem and the seat post to hang the bike from. It works but I was consistently underwhelmed by the solution.
Swagman Semi 2
So I began the typical search for a new rack. There was a review on RKP for the Swagman Semi 2 rack that holds two bikes from the bottom. I found said rack on eTrailer. The rack came quickly — about a week and was a snap to assemble. This rack is amazing. It is a breeze to fold up, fold down, put a bike of any type on or off the rack. This rack is a major keeper. I could not recommend this rack more. If you have different kinds of bikes, this is your rack.
There is one lever to fold the rack up close — but not too close — to the car. You can easily open my Impreza hatch with the rack folded. It takes me longer to get the bikes to the car than it does to put them on. Seriously. You can even tilt the rack with bikes further away from the car with the same lever.
Putting the bikes on the rack is a simple as putting the bike into the two well-made 'slots' to hold each wheel and bring down a bar that holds the front end of the bike stable. Then you strap in the rear wheel like you do on a roof rack. Viola! You are done and ready to roll to your ride.
The rack is very well made with solid welds that are nicely done. Unlike the Thule, I have not had to use a rubber mallet to get the damn rack into or out of the car hitch.
This was my first experience with eTrailer and I could not say enough positive things about them! They were great to work with. They have excellent videos on assembly and mounting. They have excellent videos showing the rack on different types of cars. They will be the place I go in the future to get another rack in a decade when I need another one. Everything about the experience including a follow-up email from a person asking how the experience was.
It is not often that I have not one but two very positive reviews in one post. However, this one breaks all the rules. eTrailer was an awesome company selling an awesome product!
Made in America or I Lost My Taillight
On a cold and crappy — but not rainy at least — Saturday, Nancy and I went on a 18-mile ride near BWI. I was trying out my new Tailrider bag and had put my Light and Motion 180 Taillight on the bag. As noted in the heading of this post, the light leaped off the bag and out of my life.
The L&M light is a great taillight. Bright, decent battery life, made in America, and better looking than your average rear light. I got it directly from L&M after I sent back my third L&M 180 Micro when the On/Off switch broke yet again. As a set of quick side notes, L&M's Micro has a faulty on/off switch design. If you review the reviews on Amazon, this is a pretty common complaint. I would heavily recommend taking a pass on this light. However, L&M has great customer service. Each time it broke, they sent me a new one and I shipped back the broken one. I cannot say enough positive things about their customer service. So when I contacted them about the third death, they offered me the regular 180 at a decent upgrade pricing. I pulled the trigger and lived happily ever after. Until Saturday, that is.
So I have this thing where I try to buy American if given the opportunity and the price difference is not substantial. I buy American jeans, socks, shirts, sweaters/wool, and bike parts and bags. So I fire up Amazon when I get home and look for the L&M 180 light. There it is. It is a great light as I said, but is it worth a 3x markup ($89.99)? It gave me pause. So then I go to Bike Light Database and The Sweet Home. Neither recommend the L&M 180. They like it but they note its price and that there are other lights that are just as good for a lot less. As another side note, both of these sites were extremely helpful in my search.
It saddens me that an American company cannot make a great, high quality taillight in this case that is not at least somewhat competitive in price. I am not saying lose money on the deal but I should not suffer a degree of sticker shock that I felt. I ended up picking the Cyclolite Hotshot for $28.48. This is over $60 cheaper and gets as good of reviews.
I will review more adequately once I have received it from Amazon and used it a few times.
The Wait
Back in December, Nancy and I went up to Bilenky Bikes. It was a great trip and they are great guys. Since then we have exchanged a couple of emails and phone calls and we received drawings of the bikes and specs/final pricing. This part was wrapped up by mid-February. Then came the hardest part, waiting… We are in line with the rest of Bilenky's customers waiting our turn in the line to come up. Currently, we believe we should have our bikes by 22 May at the latest. This means we are under 30 days. Torches should be getting fired up soon for our bikes. I cannot wait to see them.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had himself quite the Super Bowl Sunday.Thanks to the fine folks at Busted Coverage, we now have a visual proof of Gronk's alcohol endeavors in the form of a receipt. As you can see, the gratuity alone would be enough to send most people's bank account into critical condition. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. All in all, Gronk dropped nearly $10,000 for his epic night of partying. No big deal.Via Bleacher Report

Although you may be very good at DIY, when it comes electrical work, anything beyond wiring a plug, fitting a new switch or changing a light bulb should be left to a qualified Vista electrician. Attempting electrical work by yourself can be extremely dangerous if you don't have the more specialized skills and knowledge necessary to safely complete the job.
Both AC and DC currents passing through your home's electrical system and appliances are lethal. You have to be careful or else you may find yourself facing irregular heartbeat or death. Even a small mistake or miscalculation could result in devastating consequences. It is better to leave the electrical work to a professional.
And if you still need more convincing, here are the top reasons why you need to engage a qualified Vista electrician if you require any electrical work undertaken.
1. Safety
It is estimated that around 1000 deaths occur in the U.S. per year due to serious electrical injuries, representing a mortality rate of 4-5%. Also, according to the Fire Administration (USFA), over 28,000 electrical fires are reported annually. If you don't want you, your family or property to be part of these grim statistics, you should set aside your DIY ambitions.
A large proportion of these fatalities, serious injuries and fires are actually caused by unprofessional electrical work by property owners and quacks. It is, therefore, essential that you hire a professional Vista electrician to conduct electrical projects – both minor and major – at your home.
2. Save Time and Money
You may be tempted to tackle some electrical projects yourself or use the services of a nonprofessional handyman in order to save money. But this could easily turn into the biggest mistake of your life since you don't have the right skills or tools to tackle the job. For example, a small mistake while carrying out an electrical repair job could cause electric shock, resulting in a serious heart problem that would incur medical expenses. Or, a short circuit may occur due to improper wiring, leading to an expensive fire accident in your property.
Professional Vista electrical technicians are trained in the best techniques to undertake all types of electrical projects, and therefore can handle your job efficiently, safely and quickly.
3. Comply With Regulatory Requirements
Electrical safety regulations allow property owners to undertake only a few electrical projects, regardless of their knowledge or skills. A licensed Vista electrician must be involved in most major electrical jobs. Failure to engage one could see your property fail to pass electrical safety code requirements, which could drastically reduce its value if you decide to sell.
4. Avoid Potential Future Problems
A DIY or unprofessional electrical work may end successfully, but could potentially result in serious problems later. In fact, it is believed that a large percentage of electrical faults that cause house fires, injuries and fatalities occur due to past improper electrical repairs or other works. That's why you cannot afford to ignore the importance of working with a professional. By hiring a licensed electrical technician in Vista, you can be confident that you're doing a good-enough job and your electrical project won't end up putting your family at risk. This professional will guarantee safe and efficient operation of your electrical systems.
5. Avoid Problems with Your Homeowners Insurance Claim
If you cause fire or other risk that leads to damage, your insurance carrier could reject your claim. Most homeowners insurance policies specify that if the property damage is as a result of deliberate negligence of the owner the claim won't be valid. So it's important that you hire a licensed Vista electrician. Don't risk your life and property by undertaking electrical work yourself.

I found a link to this video via Gary who is keen that we do something similar here in the UK. Hoping Paul Murphy or Paul Foster may be listening to this :)
It looked like a very cool day though the beer was a bit close to the laptops for my liking. It's just cool to see us doing this kind of stuff and I wonder if it'll be extended our externally? Either way, if it means more stuff appears more quickly on Dev.Live.com or elsewhere that sounds like success to me.
Meantime, whilst we're on search check out this video of Scoble's tour around Google's Kirkland campus. Some similarities and some differences to Microsoft like good food and open spaces.

The post I found from Hugh and reposted here last week has got some serious coverage in the UK mainstream media this weekend. To recap, Thresher offered a 40% off voucher to suppliers and mentioned they could send it on to friends and family. I'm not sure if they had reckoned with the blogosphere power of Stormhoek and Hugh but this thing spread like wildfire (or perhaps a good viral marketing campaign). This sounds suspiciously clever to me
"The initial email was to our suppliers and we included a bit saying 'feel free to send it to your friends and family'. That obviously is a fuzzy number but we didn't suspect it was going to be very much at all.
"The initial email was to our suppliers and we included a bit saying 'feel free to send it to your friends and family'. That obviously is a fuzzy number but we didn't suspect it was going to be very much at all.
Good marketing me things given is represents an additional 7% off their existing offer on wine of 3 for 2.
I called in to a Thresher this evening (purely for research purposes you understand) and when I asked the dude behind the counter about how many vouchers he'd seen he sighed heavily and said "lots...and lots". I'll be back there tomorrow on a champagne run :)
You can still grab the coupon from Stormhoek - the power of the blogosphere. Quite scary really.

Off to a party in Brum tonight to see the reopening of the legendary Fort Dunlop. I'll be disappointed if they don't have seats made of bald tyres!
Our friend Hazel of Shed KM is lead architect and worked with a team to bring this old building back to life. I heard that the building itself cost a cool quid which seems like a bit of a bargain now. The insides were filled with cool offices, cool beer and plenty of "cool" people. The Urban Splash mob know how to throw a good party though with wristbands including tokens for booze and food. Nice!
We had a great night so thanks to all involved and big thanks to Hazel who was amazingly still standing at the end of the night!
I tried to find out why it was called Fort Dunlop on the evening but couldn't find anyone sober enough to answer so found out via Express and Star that
"The largest brick-building in the Midlands, it was named Fort Dunlop because it was "the stronghold of the British tyre industry".

I'm 9 years old at Microsoft today. It doesn't seem that long since I left the cozy confines of AstraZeneca to head south and setup home in Reading but lots has happened since then. I came here to work on Internet products like proxy server & Internet Explorer and then weaved my way through Site Server, Sharepoint, Knowledge Management, Mobility and in to the world of partners. 9 years can fly by. I'm on a training course all day today so tricky to blog but as the day allows, I'll drop in here and here I'll give you the good, bad and ugly snapshot of that time:
