I get to photograph a lot of sweet nurseries so it is really special to be able to share a peek inside the nursery for baby Pesce this time! We decided not to find out the gender so the name of the game was neutral when it came to decor. Most people know that I love to decorate with and gravitate towards neutral colors anyway, so it wasn't a difficult decision to stick to whites, grays and natural wood tones.
I didn't really have a plan for the space and went through a few varieties of rugs, but I love how sweetly simple the room turned out to be. Over the last nine months I fell in love with all things lambs and sheep and so unintentionally the theme of this pregnancy became Psalm 23. I didn't want to go overkill with a theme but throughout the nursery you will see these reminders in what I hope is a more subtle way. As the brightest room in our house, it has become one of my favorite places to sit and dream about what life might look like here soon. We are so excited!
I decided to put a plant in there, but don't look closely because it is struggling to stay alive! Some of the other pieces were special additions to the room, like the trunk my dad made for me as a kid, the dresser I grew up using, sheep images I took last year and the quilt my mom made for the baby that perfectly tied the entire room together.
Well my due date has come and gone! I never knew how torturously slow time could move until the last couple weeks - its like waiting for Christmas as a kid but you don't have anything to countdown to...Santa just randomly picks a day to show up! Torture!

GigaOm has a post on Google's Android Chief Rubin working on robotics.
Google gets into the robot game, with former Android chief Rubin leading the effortby
No CommentsSUMMARY:
The company has been quietly buying firms to help it build robots that could be used in manufacturing, logistics and quite possibly other sectors, too.
What seems quite possible is Rubin's efforts with Android have woken him up the opportunity to be the OS for robotics.
I have written on my own and researched the potential for robotics in the data center. With Google's ability to design its own data centers, racks, servers, and network gear it is quite possible there are robotics in a future scenario.
the post references the NYTimes with manufacturing and logistics.
In an interview with theNew York Times, Andy Rubin suggested Google's latest "moonshot" involves robots for the manufacturing and logistics markets.
and with amazon's drone now it is a hot topic to discuss automated delivery.

The hottest and most exciting food competition on the entire island of Ireland has just been launched.
The inaugural Irish Curry Awards in association with Cobra beer and Yelp! are now open for entry.
The awards scheme is the brainchild of Belfast-based restaurateur Ali Askir. The owner of SAFA says the time has come to create a specialist Asian awards scheme to recognise the contribution made to Ireland's food scene by hundreds of Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and other Asian chefs, restaurant workers and managers.
"Asian food is now as popular and as widespread as the full Irish, the Ulster Fry and Irish stew," said Mr Askir, who in the interests of fairness and impartiality has ruled himself out of the competition.
"Curry houses employ thousands of people right across Ireland and play a significant role in the local economies of communities everywhere. I believe the time has come to formally recognise this contribution and what better way to do this than through the Irish Curry Awards?"
The Irish Curry awards will consist of six categories including Best Chef, Best Young Chef, Best Restaurant, Best Front of House, Best Takeaway and Best Newcomer.
You can nominate your favourite restaurant on the website irishcurryawards.com.
A quota of votes will then be calculated at the close of entries to create a shortlist of restaurants county by county. A panel of expert judges including food writers and editors from broadcast and leading newspapers will select the winners. An awards ceremony will be held in Belfast on October 24 with all profits going to The Children's Heartbeat Trust.
Philip Morgan, National Account Executive for Molson Coors, distributor of Cobra in Northern Ireland says quality beer goes hand in hand with quality curry. "Cobra beer's link with the Irish Curry Awards is a perfect fit as we expand in the Irish markets north and south. Our focus is to showcase our great Cobra beer via the Indian restaurant sector and this is a great way to help achieve that," said Mr Morgan.
Stevie McIntyre from Yelp! says the listings site has a strong tradition of involvement with the restaurant sector. "We recently ran the successful Yelp! Burger Off in Belfast and to be working with the Irish Curry Awards is something very exciting for us, particularly as they are such a feature of our towns and villages right across Ireland," said Mr McIntyre.

Public Open House for the Inspire Trail / Nature Kids Play Area Project (Nature Kids/Jovenes de la Naturaleza Lafayette)
The City of Lafayette in collaboration with Nature Kids/Jovenes de la Naturaleza Lafayette (NKJN) has received grant funding to 1) transform the Sanchez Elementary schoolyard into a public nature play area and 2) construct a new trail and improvements along Drainageway #4/Sir Galahad Dr. to connect local neighborhoods to local schools and beyond. The Nature Kids Project is intended to bring a wealth of desirable amenities and connectivity to the entire Lafayette community and the underserved residents of the Sanchez Elementary neighborhood.
As part of this process, City staff and project consultants are inviting the public to learn about and discuss these improvements. A Public Open House will be held on May 10, from 5:00-7:30pm in the Sanchez Elementary Library located at 655 Sir Galahad Dr. Members of the public are invited to drop in anytime between 5:00 and 7:30pm to view maps and drawings, and speak with staff. Those unable to attend the meeting are encouraged to view the plans and provide comments/ask questions on the project webpage. Exhibits presented at the meeting will be available on the project webpage: www.cityoflafayette.com/NKJN .
Information will be available in English and Spanish, and Spanish interpreters will be providing assistance during the Open House.
Sanchez Nature Experience
View a copy of the nature play proposal
An element of the project is to design and construct a nature play area on the school grounds of Sanchez Elementary. This nature play area will consist of interactive nature components so children and families can connect with nature while experiencing activities related to an outdoor public space. Beyond the basic features typically found in a public park, this nature play area will feature geologic components such as boulders, logs, wetland features and educational descriptors of natural surroundings. The nature play area will be the focal point of the entire project with trails that lead users through the zone. The intent of the nature play area is to provide patrons with an outdoor experience providing children and families a "connection" to nature in addition to providing a place of leisure and relaxation. The nature play area is being designed by acclaimed architectural firm, Design Concepts, a Lafayette-based architectural firm that specializes in outdoor recreational concept and design.
Inspire Trail
View a copy of the Inspire Trail
The Inspire Trail will provide a crusher fine path extending from Boulder Ridge Mobile Home Park on the east, westward past Peak to Peak School along the drainageway social trail, through high density neighborhoods, and along the perimeter of the Sanchez Elementary property. Future plan include expanding the trail towards additional multifamily housing areas and the RTD Park-and-Ride, and finally into downtown Lafayette.
Street Improvements and One-Way Traffic Modification on Sir Galahad Drive
View the proposed Sir Galahad traffic modifications
To improve safety and ADA accessibility, several improvements are proposed along Sir Galahad Drive and Merlin Drive. These right-of-ways will provide critical on-street linkages between sections of Sanchez Trail. Improvements will include widened sidewalks, curb extensions, added crosswalks, and landscaped street buffers. Additionally, the majority of Sir Galahad will convert from two-way to one-way westbound traffic. These improvements are intended to calm traffic speeds and give priority to pedestrians, in particular children and parents walking between school and home.

The Daily Quail: Muslims demand Sharia law
A top Muslim judge (sic) yesterday revealed a terrifying blueprint for the complete Islamisation of Britain, expected to begin in the next few weeks (sic) (emphasis mine) pending inevitable approval from New Labour's multiculturalism czars. It is thought that all Muslims, including so-called 'moderates', hold similar views to Choudary and are desperate to see traditional British institutions such as everything that you like destroyed...insiders agree that Choudary is an important figure who almost certainly embodies the beliefs of anyone with a beard and an aversion to pork.

ON LAKE MICHIGAN NEAR POVERTY ISLAND, Mich. — Divers began opening an underwater pit Saturday at a remote site in northern Lake Michigan that they say could be the resting place of the Griffin, a ship commanded by the 17th century French explorer La Salle.
U.S. and French archaeologists examined sediment removed from a hole dug near a timber slab that expedition leader Steve Libert discovered wedged in the lake bed in 2001. Project manager Ken Vrana said afterward the team found a man-made "cultural artifact" in the opening, but he declined to describe it until technicians could analyze it.
Libert, who has spent about three decades searching for the Griffin, said he hoped that by Sunday, the excavation would reach what sonar readings indicate is a distinct shape beneath several feet of sediment. The object is more than 40 feet long and about 18 feet wide — dimensions similar to those the Griffin is thought to have had, Vrana said.
But he said it was too early to declare the site a shipwreck, let alone the object of their quest.
"Soon we will find out whether our assumption is correct or not," Vrana said aboard the Proud Maid, a 45-foot commercial fishing boat that ferried journalists and crew members to the search area near Poverty Island in Michigan waters north of the entrance to Green Bay. "We've got to get those test pits dug and hit (the) structure because anything else is pure speculation."
Although Libert and his associates have dived at the site numerous times and conducted several surveys with remote-sensing equipment, they hadn't conducted archaeological excavations until receiving a permit from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources this month after years of legal squabbles.
The agency claims ownership over all Great Lakes shipwrecks in the state's waters, although it acknowledges France would have rights to the Griffin because it was sailing under the authority of King Louis XIV.
Taking part in the dive Saturday were Michel L'Hour, director of the Department of Underwater Archaeological Research in the French Ministry of Culture and a noted authority on shipwrecks, and associate Olivia Hulot. The U.S. leaders said they hoped the visitors, with their knowledge of design and construction features of French ships from the 17th and 18th century, could help confirm whether the Griffin had been found.
"The Griffin is very important to the early history of America," L'Hour said in an interview.
Rene Robert Cavelier de la Salle ordered the Griffin built near Niagara Falls in 1679 to support his quest for what was widely — but erroneously — thought to be a passageway to China and Japan. It was the first European-style vessel to traverse the upper Great Lakes.

IN RE: Joseph B. HARVIN.
This disciplinary matter arises from formal charges filed by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") against respondent, Joseph B. Harvin, an attorney licensed to practice law in Louisiana.
By way of background, Sal Diecidue is the owner of Progressive Iron Works, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "PIW"). Michael Perkins is the co-owner of Hitt Development, LLC (hereinafter referred to as "Hitt"). Hitt was constructing the Amber Trace condominium development and subcontracted PIW to do the iron work for the development.
Mr. Diecidue received a $5,000 advance and was to be paid an additional $17,700 upon completion of the iron work. On May 15, 2007, Mr. Perkins, on Hitt's behalf, issued a check to PIW in the amount of $17,700. However, the check was returned unpaid due to insufficient funds in Hitt's bank account, and Mr. Diecidue did not receive his final payment.
Mr. Diecidue then hired respondent to collect on the NSF check. To that end, on July 2, 2007, respondent filed a petition in Slidell City Court in an action entitled Sal Diecidue, individually and d/b/a Progressive Iron Works, Inc. v. Michael L. Perkins, individually and d/b/a Hitt Development, LLC, under docket number 2007C2692. On September 14, 2007, respondent filed a default judgment against Mr. Perkins and Hitt, which judgment was subsequently signed by the judge. The default judgment awarded Mr. Diecidue and PIW $34,500, plus attorney's fees, costs, and legal interest.
Following a judgment debtor rule, Mr. Perkins hired attorney Randall Foreman to represent him in the matter. Mr. Foreman informed respondent that the default judgment was improper because Mr. Perkins was not personally served with the petition.1 The judgment was also improper because the amount awarded exceeded the jurisdictional limits of the Slidell City Court.2 When respondent disagreed with Mr. Foreman's assessment, Mr. Foreman filed a petition to annul the default judgment in an action entitled Michael L. Perkins, individually and d/b/a Hitt Development, LLC v. Sal Diecidue, individually and d/b/a Progressive Iron Works, Inc., under docket number 2008–12313 of the 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of St. Tammany.
In response to the petition to annul, on June 16, 2008, respondent filed a consent judgment granting the petition to annul, which the judge signed the next day. However, three days earlier, on June 13, 2008, respondent had filed a notice of lis pendens against all property owned by Mr. Perkins and/or Hitt, even though the NSF check only pertained to the Amber Trace condominium development property. Mr. Foreman requested that respondent remove the improperly filed notice of lis pendens, but respondent refused to do so unless Mr. Perkins agreed to pay the original amount of the default judgment to Mr. Diecidue.
In October 2008, Mr. Perkins was attempting to sell a piece of real property that was unrelated to the NSF check issue. The closing attorney for the sale, Kirk Frosch, discussed with respondent both the notice of lis pendens and the recorded default judgment, which still had not been canceled in the mortgage records despite its annulment. Respondent informed Mr. Frosch that he could not remove the notice of lis pendens unless Mr. Diecidue was paid $47,500 from the sale of the property, even though the property had nothing to do with the NSF check that was issued for work done on the Amber Trace condominium development. Respondent did, however, cancel the recordation of the default judgment in the mortgage records by filing an amended consent judgment, which was signed by the judge on October 29, 2008. Nevertheless, the notice of lis pendens ultimately prevented Mr. Perkins from selling the property.
Eventually, respondent admitted his mistakes and waived all attorney's fees, costs, and expenses relative to his handling of the notice of lis pendens and the underlying Slidell City Court action on the NSF check. The recordation of the notice of lis pendens was finally canceled on February 17, 2009 as a result of a lawsuit filed by Mr. Perkins and Hitt against respondent, Mr. Diecidue, and the St. Tammany Parish Clerk of Court for the improper filing and recordation of the notice of lis pendens. Respondent also made restitution to Mr. Perkins in the amount of $27,500. Additionally, respondent's legal malpractice insurer paid Mr. Diecidue $10,000 for the improper filing of the notice of lis pendens.
In May 2011, the ODC filed formal charges against respondent, alleging that his conduct as set forth above violated the following provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct: Rules 3.1 (meritorious claims and contentions), 3.3(a)(1) (candor toward the tribunal), 8.4(a) (violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct), and 8.4(c) (engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation).
Respondent, through counsel, filed an answer to the formal charges, admitting that his errors resulted in violations of Rules 3 .1 and 3.3(a)(1). Respondent denied that he violated Rule 8.4(c).
Hearing Committee Report
Following the filing of respondent's answer to the formal charges, this matter proceeded to a hearing on the merits. After considering the testimony and evidence presented at the hearing, the hearing committee made factual findings consistent with the underlying facts set forth above. The committee also made additional factual findings as follows:
Respondent improperly relied upon the Slidell City Court Marshal's Office regarding whether or not Mr. Perkins had been personally served with the lawsuit. Respondent admitted that he did not personally review the court record before obtaining the default judgment and recognized it was improper of him to not have reviewed the court record.
Respondent also did not discuss with Mr. Foreman his intention to file the notice of lis pendens against many pieces of property to which the NSF check issue was not relevant. He admitted that filing the notice of lis pendens against every piece of property that Mr. Perkins and Hitt owned was improper, and he took responsibility for the improper filing. The ODC pointed out that respondent initially said that Mr. Diecidue directed him to file the notice of lis pendens. However, during his testimony, respondent claimed it was his idea to file the notice of lis pendens. Respondent further recognized that the only property against which the notice of lis pendens should have been filed was the property PIW had performed iron work on, that being the Amber Trace condominium development. Respondent acknowledged that PIW did not work on any of the other properties listed on the notice of lis pendens. Even after realizing the notice of lis pendens was improperly filed, respondent placed responsibility on Mr. Diecidue, who allegedly refused to allow him to cancel it.
Respondent did not deny that the filing of the notice of lis pendens caused Mr. Perkins harm. In fact, he made $27,500 in restitution to Mr. Perkins. However, he did not do so until after the conclusion of the trial relative to the lawsuit filed by Mr. Perkins and Hitt against respondent, Mr. Diecidue, and the St. Tammany Parish clerk of court for the improper filing of the notice of lis pendens.
Based on these facts, the committee determined that respondent violated the Rules of Professional Conduct as alleged in the formal charges. Specifically, the committee found that respondent violated Rules 3.1 and 3.3(a)(1) by filing the notice of lis pendens against several pieces of property owned by Mr. Perkins and Hitt to which Mr. Diecidue and PIW had no financial interest or valid lien standing. The committee also found that respondent violated Rule 3.3(a)(1) by obtaining an invalid default judgment against Mr. Perkins and Hitt in excess of the jurisdictional limit specified for Slidell City Court. He continued to violate Rule 3.3(a)(1) when he failed to correct the problem of the improper default judgment, forcing Mr. Perkins and Hitt to file a petition to annul the judgment. The committee further found that respondent violated Rule 8.4(c) by continuously attempting to use the improperly filed notice of lis pendens as a means to obtain financial compensation for the NSF check. Furthermore, respondent's filing of the notice of lis pendens without notifying Mr. Foreman of same was a clear intent to mislead Mr. Perkins and Hitt as to his intentions with respect to the consent judgment annulling the default judgment. Through his actions, respondent stated that, if he could not get his judgment through Slidell City Court, then he was going to make sure Mr. Diecidue had some other means of negotiation against Mr. Perkins and Hitt, which the committee described as "tantamount to 'legal bullying.' " As a result of the above rule violations, the committee found that respondent also violated Rule 8.4(a).
The committee explained that the effect of filing the notice of lis pendens started a landslide of events. Respondent had tunnel vision when it came to getting Mr. Diecidue's money for the NSF check. Compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Code of Civil Procedure simply were not a consideration. At no time during his conversation with Mr. Frosch did respondent acknowledge that the notice of lis pendens should not apply to the property upon which Mr. Frosch was trying to complete a closing sale. Respondent simply continued to negotiate on the basis of false legal leverage. The fallout of respondent's actions was considerable considering the extent to which the parties had to go and the amount of legal fees, bills, and financial harm.
The committee then determined that respondent knowingly violated duties owed to his client, third parties, the legal system, and the legal profession. His conduct caused harm to Mr. Diecidue, resulting in unnecessary litigation, and to Mr. Perkins, who was prevented from selling property and was forced to hire an attorney for unnecessary litigation. Additionally, respondent harmed the legal system and the legal profession. Given these circumstances, the committee determined that the applicable baseline sanction in this matter is suspension.
In aggravation, the committee found the following factors: 1) even after being advised of his mistake, respondent refused to properly cancel the improperly obtained default judgment and further failed to cancel the improperly filed notice of lis pendens; 2) respondent failed to acknowledge or take responsibility for his actions until long after harm had been done to Mr. Perkins and Hitt; and 3) respondent has a prior disciplinary record in the form of a 1988 private reprimand for failing to provide his client with a prompt accounting of settlement funds.
In mitigation, the committee found the following factors are present: full and free disclosure to the disciplinary board and a cooperative attitude toward the proceedings, character or reputation, remorse, and respondent's efforts at restitution.
Under these circumstances, the committee recommended that respondent be suspended from the practice of law for ninety days, with all but thirty days deferred. The committee further recommended that respondent attend the Louisiana State Bar Association's Ethics School for two consecutive years.
Both respondent and the ODC filed objections to the hearing committee's report and recommendation.
Disciplinary Board Recommendation
After reviewing the record, the disciplinary board determined that the hearing committee's factual findings are not manifestly erroneous and are supported by the testimony and documentary evidence. The board further determined that the record supports the committee's conclusions regarding rule violations.
The board then determined that respondent knowingly violated duties owed to his client, third parties, the legal system, and the legal profession. His conduct harmed his client by causing unnecessary litigation and harmed Mr. Perkins, who was unable to sell a piece of property because of the improperly filed notice of lis pendens. Additionally, Mr. Perkins was forced to incur additional legal expenses to handle unnecessary litigation caused by respondent's actions. Guided by the ABA's Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions, the board stated that suspension is the baseline sanction for similar misconduct.
In aggravation, the board found a prior disciplinary record and substantial experience in the practice of law (admitted 1985). In mitigation, the board found full and free disclosure to the disciplinary board and a cooperative attitude toward the proceedings, character or reputation, remorse, and remoteness of the prior disciplinary offense.
Noting that prior jurisprudence suggests a brief suspension is warranted in this matter, the board recommended that respondent be suspended from the practice of law for three months, with all but thirty days deferred, followed by one year of unsupervised probation and attendance at the Louisiana State Bar Association's Ethics School.
Neither respondent nor the ODC filed an objection to the disciplinary board's recommendation.
Bar disciplinary matters fall within the original jurisdiction of this court. La. Const. art. V, § 5(B). Consequently, we act as triers of fact and conduct an independent review of the record to determine whether the alleged misconduct has been proven by clear and convincing evidence. In re: Banks, 09–1212 (La.10/2/09), 18 So.3d 57. While we are not bound in any way by the findings and recommendations of the hearing committee and disciplinary board, we have held the manifest error standard is applicable to the committee's factual findings. See In re: Caulfield, 96–1401 (La .11/25/96), 683 So.2d 714; In re: Pardue, 93–2865 (La.3/11/94), 633 So.2d 150.
The record of this matter supports a finding that respondent obtained an improper default judgment and filed an improper notice of lis pendens. This misconduct amounts to a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct as alleged in the formal charges.
Having found evidence of professional misconduct, we now turn to a determination of the appropriate sanction for respondent's actions. In determining a sanction, we are mindful that disciplinary proceedings are designed to maintain high standards of conduct, protect the public, preserve the integrity of the profession, and deter future misconduct. Louisiana State Bar Ass'n v. Reis, 513 So.2d 1173 (La.1987). The discipline to be imposed depends upon the facts of each case and the seriousness of the offenses involved considered in light of any aggravating and mitigating circumstances. Louisiana State Bar Ass'n v. Whittington, 459 So.2d 520 (La.1984).
Respondent knowingly violated duties owed to his client, the public, the legal system, and the legal profession. His conduct harmed Mr. Perkins and Mr. Diecidue. Suspension is the baseline sanction for this type of misconduct. The record supports the aggravating and mitigating factors found by the disciplinary board. Additionally, we find the aggravating factor of vulnerability of the victim is present in that Mr. Perkins' financial problems were exacerbated by respondent's misconduct.
Turning to the issue of an appropriate sanction, we find guidance from the case of In re: Raspanti, 08–0954 (La.3/17/09), 8 So.3d 526. In Raspanti, we publicly reprimanded an attorney who sued a former client for defamation after the client filed a disciplinary complaint against him, explaining that such lawsuits were frivolous and prejudicial to the administration of justice.
Unlike Raspanti, the instant matter involves substantial harm to respondent's victims. Additionally, respondent has prior discipline, while Mr. Raspanti did not. Under these circumstances, we find the board's recommended sanction in this matter is reasonable. Accordingly, we will suspend respondent from the practice of law for three months, with all but thirty days deferred, followed by one year of unsupervised probation with the condition that he attends the Louisiana State Bar Association's Ethics School.
Upon review of the findings and recommendations of the hearing committee and disciplinary board, and considering the record, it is ordered that Joseph B. Harvin, Louisiana Bar Roll number 14988, be and he hereby is suspended from the practice of law for three months. It is further ordered that all but thirty days of the suspension shall be deferred. Following the active portion of the suspension, respondent shall be placed on unsupervised probation for one year. As a condition of probation, respondent is ordered to attend the Louisiana State Bar Association's Ethics School. The probationary period shall commence from the date respondent and the ODC execute a formal probation plan. Any failure of respondent to comply with the conditions of probation, or any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred portion of the suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate. All costs and expenses in the matter are assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1, with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court's judgment until paid.
1. The record reflected that Mr. Perkins was served via domiciliary service.
2. The amount in controversy of actions filed in the Slidell City Court cannot exceed $35,000 pursuant to La.Code Civ. P. art. 4843(G).

The Hidden Island of Dar'Orgath
Currently this island is home to the Cult of Dar'Orgath, a group of demon worshippers and necromancers who seek to bring their lord, the demon Dar'Orgath, into the world. The island is enshrouded in a mist, and appears to move around and float, as if it is not attached to the seabed. This is in fact true. The island was detached from the seabed by the use of powerful magics employed by the cultists. The island itself is large, almost the size of a small country on its own, and is home to various flora, fauna, and bizarre locations.
The island's climate is dependant on where it is floating. Generally, however, the Cultists prefer a temperate climate and keep it within warmer waters. The lizards however sometimes grab control with the help of their Mage-Priests, and move it to more tropical waters.
Area Breakdown
The Island is divided into 3 areas. One area called Uder, which is controlled by the Cultists from their Fortress-Temple of Dar'Rendall, an area called Slyrr which is controlled by the Lizardmen and ruled from Hsir-Dur, and a strip of land between them that is a no mans land.
The Cult controlls the northern area of the island, which is covered in dense forest and fairly mountainus, while the Lizardfolk control the swamplands and jungles to the south. Between the swamps and the forest lie lowland plains and rivers criss crossing, which make up the no mans land.
Locations in Uder
1. Dar'Rendall - The Fortress Temple of Dar'Orgath
Dar'Rendall is the fortess temple of the Cultists, and their home. Here they practice dark magicks designed to bring their lord and master into the world, as well as issue orders to the various cultist cells around the world. The temple is massive, over 5 stories tall, and is built into the side of a mountain in the center of the island. It is also heavily guarded by constructs, conjured beasts, and the cultists themselves.
Inside the Fortress one would find labs, libraries, and all manner of other things. The Fortress-Temple is run by 2 people. Helio the High Priest, and Marduk the current Fist of Dar'Orgath.
Each level of Dar'Rendall has a purpose. The ground floor houses the storerooms, slaves, and holding chambers for the various undead and other bizarre summoned creatures and creations. The second floor houses the barraks, where the more militant members live, as well as the dining area's and kitchens. Third level houses the general priests and cultists living quarters, as well as several shrines to Dar'Orgath. The fourth level are the labs and libraries. Dar'Rendall is home to a vast collection of knowledge, a great deal of which deals with necromancy and demon summoning.
The top floor houses the High Priest, and the Fist of Dar'Orgath, along with the High Altar of Dar'Orgath. The top floor is where the portal which will be used to bring Dar'Orgath into the world is being constructed.
2. Tomb of the Fallen
This place is on the north side of the island. A small building covered in vines, it leads down into a tomb of a once great paladin, named Jarvin. However, this paladin fell from grace, and became a blackguard in the service of Dar'Orgath, the first Fist of Dar'Orgath in fact. His tomb was built as a place of honor, as he served for several years as the leader of the armies of the cult.
The tomb is vast, as Jarvin was buried with his treasure and belogings. Hidden deep within the vaults, one could find vast treasure, along with undead and conjured creaturs and traps, placed there to keep unwanted visitors and tomb robbers at bay.
3. Delemorte
Home to the great Necromancer Marketus, this tower stands a days walk from Dar'Randell. Standing tall over the trees of the forest, Delemorte is a somber warning to those on the island. At night, strange lights can be seen from atop the tower, as Marketus works his dark magics in worship of Dar'Orgath.
Marketus also trains the up and coming necromancers and summoners in his tower. Those who wish to be his apprentice must survive the trip up the tower, as the lower floors are full of all manner of bizarre creatures who are let loose to run amok. Marketus himself simply teleports when he needs to go somewhere.
4. Forest of Death
Surrounding Dar'Rendall is section of dark forest, aptly called the Forest of Death. This place is enchanted and home to all manner of bizarre creatures that the cultists have conjured or crafted. One must survive the walk through the forest, which can take a few days, in order to reach Dar'Rendall.
Inside the forest, light does not penetrate the tree's. It is dark, like night, and failed experiments of the cultists, as well as undead unleashed by them wander the forest proper. Anything from a basic zombie, to a frankenstien like creation can be found somewhere in the forest. The forest is mazelike as well, overgrown and twisted by the proximity to Dar'Rendall.
Locations in Slyrr
1. Hsir-Dur - The Lizardman Capital
Hidden in the center of the swamp stands Hsir-Dur, the capital of the Lizardpeople. From here, the lizardmen try to wage war on the Cultists. The lizardfolk distrust outsiders, as they feel anyone who is not a lizard is obviously a member of the Cult. They control the swamplands on the south of the island, and the city is ruled over by a Emporer who is simply known as Grok. No non-lizard has ever seen Grok and lived to date.
The city itself is vast. In the center of the city stands the Great Kings castle, home of Grok. From the center, the city expands outward a mile in all directions. The lizardfolk are good creaturs, who try to keep to themselves, however they are finding themselves more and more in danger of being wiped out by the Cultists.
2. Yrsyr - Temple to the Lizard God
A few hours walk through the swampland away from Hsir-Dur, one would find the Temple to the Lizard God Umaki. This temple houses the Lizard Mage-Priests, who travel out from the temple regularly to keep tabs on the spiritual nature of the Lizardfolk, as well as counter the dark magics of the Cult.
The High Priest of Umaki is known as Esri the Grey One. No one is certain how long Esri has lived, but it is said that he has existed since the time of the first Emperor of the Lizard Kingdom. Esri the Grey One is secretive, and only a few non-lizards have seen this ancient. His power is the only thing that keeps the cultists from storming the lizardfolk entirely, as they are afraid of the power he can wield.
3. Grsyl Graveyard - The Graveyard
To the Lizardfolk, this patch of swamp is sacred, and their greatest warriors and kings and priests are interred within its swampy soil. This area is now kept under guard however, as the Cult has recently caused some issues within the Tomb of Yasre, the First King of the Lizardfolk. The bodies of their fallen and honored are now rising up, and the Lizardfolk have built a wall around the Graveyard. To keep everyone outside, and keep the undead inside.
Plot Ideas
The first major plot hook would be the fact that the Cult, which is widespread, is trying to bring a Demon Lord into the world. This fact alone would be enough to attempt to storm Dar'Rendall. Barring that, the party could be approached by a Lizardfolk who asks for their aid.
The Lizardfolk are outmatched, as the cultists are not bothered by raising both their own dead and those of the lizardfolk to wage war. The Cultists use the lizard people as livestock almost, attacking when they need fresh corpses.
The lizardfolk are getting desperate, and know its only a matter of time before the Cult finishs their preparations and bring the Demon Lord into the world.
The PC's could also be enticed by the idea of a famous fallen paladins tomb, which while guarded, is said to be a treasure trove of valuable artifacts and relics.
Reaching the Island
The Island moves around, but not very quickly. The mist keeps it hidden from view, however the mist is not magical and is rather simply a by product of the effects moving the island. The two groups vie for control. The Cultists control the movement from Dar'Rendall, and the Lizardfolk from Yrsyr.
To reach the island you would either need to fly over to it or use a boat. Ship Captains are not pleased at the idea of trying to reach an island shrouded by mists, with the danger of hitting rocks or being attacked.
The Cultists reach the island by use of special Teleportation stones, embedded in rings that the heads of each region wear. The rings allow a one way instant Teleport to the third level of Dar'Rendall, into a special chamber. If the PC's can get ahold of one of these rings and learn how to activate it, they can attack the Fortress Temple from the inside. To leave, the room that they arrive in can, with the proper command word, take them back to where they came from. Note that the rings can teleport up to 8 people at a time, as long as they are all touching each other.

I had a tummy tuck and liposuction procedure with Dr. Gartside back in early December. Dr. Gartside took the time to answer all of my questions both before and after the procedure.
We were never rushed and the level of care and caring was always at the highest possible level. Dr. Gartside went above and beyond to insure that the procedure was a success. Dr.
Gartside and her staff were always available to help me through this surgery. The office staff is also very supportive and helpful in taking care of forms and paperwork and scheduling.
Weight Off My Shoulders!
My sisters and I were all "gifted" with overly large breasts for our proportions from my mother, so it seemed we were all destined to take the path of breast reduction eventually. Earlier this year I was leaving an appointment and passed Dr. Roberta Gartside's office and stopped in for information on breast reduction. Within two months, I had a consultation and the surgery scheduled June 20; I couldn't wait to get over the aching back, tired shoulders, and having to order my HH size bras online at $100 each! Now I have the most wonderful young and perky DDs, I can wear sports bras or even go without wearing one at all, I can wear a lot of pretty clothes now that before I knew wouldn't zip up past my bust line; I feel confident, sexy and young again. Thanks Dr. Roberta Gartside for giving me these Y&P girls. ;)
Dear Dr. Gartside,
Because you did such a wonderful job on putting my leg together, I wanted you to see the happy result. No pain on using my leg to trot - although the picture shows the right leg - the left leg was perfect! Three cheers and so much appreciation of and for your talents. I hope all is well with you and again so many thanks for you.
Exceeded all my expectations. Surgeon was very well qualified. Answered all my questions and did not treat me like it would be a cosmetic surgery, unlike other surgeons. Discussed all options and decided on tissue expanders. She is a true godsend and has given me back much of what I lost. I am forever grateful for her expertise.
Dear Dr. Gartside,
I want to thank you for everything you've done to help me.
You're such an exceptional physician, you have a great staff and all of you made a not necessarily pleasant experience...pleasant.
More than that though, I feel as if I received the best of care and expertise. I'm very happy with the "results."
"Dear Dr. Gartside,
I want to thank you for clear and amusing explanations of my options, and the "visual aid" of how alumpectomy and radiation would really affect the appearance of my favorite breast. No one had done that! I felt that a mastectomy was the obvious choice when i left your office – I didn't know that before then. I wish I had seen you earlier in the process!"
"I wanted to express my appreciation for the outstanding and professional medical care from you over the past several weeks. I may have asked more questions then the aerage patient but always knew my medical are was in the right hands—yours. It was my firm knowledge from the first visit. Your cheerfulness and direct candor in how to treat the illness I will always remember. One helps the patient emotionally the other physically; both necessary. Having never been really ill before in my life, I needed both. Thanks for being my doctor and god bless."

Animation designers use latest computer technology to apply effects in images, movies, websites, and video games, etc. They also help in projects and animators to develop 3D animations. According to the latest survey Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) most animators have a bachelor's degree in a field like computer graphics or animation. A professional animator always works hard to improve their skills.
Most Important Software for animation designer to improve skills:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Flash
- Adobe After Effects
- Maya 3-D
- 3D Studio Max
- Cinema 4D
- Adobe Premiere
- Apple FCP
We at ADMEC Multimedia Institute provides diploma courses in computer graphics and animation. We have a group of industry expert faculty, who are expert in different-2 software as mentioned above. The training for our computer graphics and animation course is conducted by these experts only. We have successfully trained more than two thousand students, through our classroom and online training from all over the world.
Importance of title design:
The designing of title in animated videos represents the first impression to the audience and it's called right key to get the audience in the right mood for your work and skill. A great title represents the whole work in on a single title through which audience understands what they are looking for.
Title design is used to serve an extra purpose in animation. Designing of elements in animation always need to be specified or simplified or toned down just by the sheer fact that we will eventually need to get the project done. Designing of Title provides step in solution to really flex our design skills and help to show off your real sensibilities presented in videos by time or constraints.
If our title design is our first impression, then our end credits design will be also last impressed. Because it is very last thing for to audiences to see our work is good or bad.
Now a day all the movies are created with more and more unique end title sequences, which is beneficial for both the audience and people worked on the movie. Using unique end title sequences we can attract an audience by providing them something to enjoy and people worked on movie also take interest to develop this type of concept.
Generally, when we just cut to black with white text, then the audience will immediately move down from their position and they understand the movie is over. If we provide something interesting then audience stay engaged in our work till the whole movie is over and this credit goes to the person who worked on the movie.
WebDesign is a way to improve the presentations of contents that is visible to end user through the world wide web with the help of a web browser or other web-enabled software.

Learn How to Add the Needed Amount to cover Paypal or Stripe Fees
Both Stripe and Paypal process payments for a 2.9% + $.30 fee, and they take their fee off the top. That's only $3.20 off of a $100 transaction, but what if you process payments of $7500 or more? Paypal or Stripe fees would then be over $200. We don't mind the fees, but some of our clients do. Once before, a client asked us to make their online payment form pass their Paypal fee back to the customer to pay. Gravity Forms* is one of our preferred WordPress form plugins, and this particular client's website uses Gravity Forms with the Paypal Add-On to process their online payments. The techniques that I'm going to show you would work with the Gravity Forms Stripe Add-On as well. We're assuming that you have the Stripe or Paypal Gravity Form Add-On activated and configured to process payments. Showing you how to set up these payment processors with Gravity Forms is a topic for another blog post. You should know how to add pricing fields as well. Let's get started. Add another product field and select Calculation as the field type as seen in the screenshot below: It's not checked in the above screenshot, but check the Disable quantity field. Once you select Calculation, you'll see a formula field pop up. Select your previous product field as your merge tag. For this website, Payment Amount is the name of the previous product field. The merge tag will show up in the Formula text area. Here's where the magic happens. You can't use {Payment Amount:5} * .029 + .3 to account for the transaction fees because all of the transaction fees still won't be passed to the customer. If someone makes a $100 payment on your website, and you have the formula set to the above, the customer will be charged $103.20 ($100 + $2.90 + $.30). Stripe or Paypal will take their fees off of $103.20 (not $100). 2.9% multiplied by $103.20 plus $.30 is $3.29. Subtract $3.29 from $103.20, and you are left with $99.91 which is still less than $100 (the original amount). In this form's case, to account for the transaction fees, this formula needs to be used:
({Payment Amount:5} + .3) / (1 – .029)
The 5 right next to Payment Amount is the form ID, so that number will be different for you. Now if someone makes a payment for $100 on your website, the customer will be charged $103.30. 2.9% multiplied by $103.30 plus $.30 is $3.30. Subtract $3.30 from $103.30, and you're left with $100.
Make Adding the Transaction Fees Optional
In the comments section, someone asked me if this was possible. She had found the answer in Joe Winter's Gravity Forms blog post before I had a chance to answer, but I'm posting an answer of my own anyway. To make the transaction fee optional, you would add a checkbox field preferably before the Amount field. Next, you'll go to the Advanced tab of the Payment Amount field with the merge tag. Check Enable Conditional Logic. Select the transaction fee question with the checkbox that you had just created. This question only has one answer, so you can't select another answer. Performing this step, will have the payment amount field with the transaction fees show only if the visitors checks the checkbox. Your settings should look like the screenshot below: Update your form and go to Gravity Forms' Settings -> Paypal (or Stripe). You'll need to add another feed so the correct payment amount can be sent to Paypal or Stripe. One feed would be used only if the visitor checked the box to cover the transaction fees. The other feed wouldn't have any conditional logic, so it's used if the visitor doesn't check the box to cover the transaction fees.
See it in Action
Here's a dummy form that we created which adds the amount needed to cover the Paypal or Stripe processing fees.

The White House suggested for the first time that Mr. Obama might be willing to agree to a short-term increase in the
Mr. Obama met separately at the White House with Republican and Democratic leaders. But neither side reported any substantive progress as they searched for a formula that would include deep spending cuts, cost-saving changes to entitlement programs and an overhaul of the
Politically, the main question remained whether House Republicans would be willing to negotiate over any package that could be construed as raising taxes, and throughout the day there were signs of internal debate among party leaders.
But Representative
That plan is the one put forward Tuesday by the so-called Gang of Six, a bipartisan group of senators who worked for months to reach an agreement and whose work was lauded by Mr. Obama as a sign that a deal was possible. The plan included a net increase in government revenue of about $1 trillion over a decade.
"I am concerned with the Gang of Six's revenue target," Mr. Cantor said.
Deepening the impasse was growing opposition among House Republicans to a fallback position developed by Senator
But given the looming prospect of Congress's missing the Aug. 2 deadline and risking a default on
At the White House, officials alternated between a sense of encouragement and growing concern that time is running out to avert a full-scale crisis.
"There is still time to do something significant if all parties are willing to compromise, because the parameters of what that might look like are well known," said
With an eye on the calendar, the president summoned leaders of both parties to build on Tuesday's release of the $3.7 trillion deficit-cutting plan by the Senate's Gang of Six.
At the Capitol, however, the emphasis was on a plan that Mr. McConnell has been putting together with the Senate majority leader,
The four House leaders — Mr. Boehner, Mr. Cantor; Representative
Such talks between the two parties' leaders in the House, which are rare given the polarized relations in that chamber, reflect the recognition that the Republican majority cannot pass the increase in the debt limit without a significant number of votes from Democrats.
"The House has got people who are dug in," said Senator
But given the potential for a backlash if there is a crisis, House Republicans were also weighing a short-term extension tied to a corresponding amount of spending cuts, a move the White House was unlikely to favor.
Senate leaders were still planning to go forward with consideration of the McConnell fallback after considering the "cap, cut and balance" plan that cleared the House on Tuesday but that has no chance of passing the Senate.
To improve prospects for the McConnell plan in the Senate, the leadership was drawing up a list of spending cuts that would be attached to it as well as other deficit-cutting proposals.
If the president is to proceed with a major agreement, one of his chief hurdles could be winning some support from leaders in the Senate.
The leaders of the Gang of Six — Mr. Chambliss and Senator
"There were a lot of people who said yesterday in our meeting, 'Hey, we want to be supportive, but we want some detail.' And that's a fair question," Mr. Chambliss said in an interview. "They're still supportive, but they're not willing to put their names on the line until they see a lot more of the intricate detail, and I don't blame them."
Despite talk of a breakthrough, administration officials worried that Congress's schedule left no room for error.
The situation is reviving memories in both parties of two previous times that House Republicans rebelled against their leadership's compromises, provoking such negative market reactions that the Republicans quickly retreated: in September 2008, when the House initially rejected President
"This time is, unfortunately, more consequential," a senior administration official said.Continue reading the main story

I am thoroughly disappointed with this product.
I bought this pressed powder after watching some YouTube reviews and tutorials and reading some glowing reviews on Ulta and various beauty blogs. Everybody seems to absolutely love this pressed powder, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't work for me.
I love the brand and use many of their products, but this was such a huge miss, I honestly regret spending so much money on this. I got it around the spring time this year, used it maybe 10 times all together (I kept trying to make it work, but it just would not), and ended up tossing it to the bottom of my "bad makeup" drawer.
It just doesn't do what it's supposed to. I have purchased it hoping to minimize the appearance of my pores (they're rather visible, especially on the nose and forehead area), but this powder only seems to be making it worse. Not only does it accentuate the pores even more, but it dries up my skin, and I'm not even one to suffer from dry or sensitive skin to begin with.
I tried using it under foundation, on top of foundation, instead of foundation.. nothing works. It settles in pores and creases and makes my fine lines more visible. I suppose if you have an oily skin type, you might benefit from this powder's drying properties. With my normal skin type, this was just too drying, to the point that my skin would get flaky on the cheeks - yuck!
Have you used it this product yourself? What did you think?? Let me know in the comments below!
About Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder:
With just one brushstroke, pores disappear and skin glows with a stunning, soft-focus effect that can stand up to the harshest lighting. Wear the innovative, tried-and-true matte powder under foundation to prime skin, on top of makeup as a setting powder, or alone for a nearly-natural finish.
The pressed formula allows for easy application while still in the Boudoir or on-the-go. Choose which way you'll wear the innovative matte powder: under foundation to prime the skin, on-top of makeup as a setting powder or alone for an in-the-bare smooth finish. Whichever way you choose, you'll still banish the appearance of pores and achieve a stunning, soft-focus effect to combat any harsh lighting.
More To Love:
- Minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines and imperfections
- Infused with a cocktail of vitamins A, C & E for antioxidant benefits; mulberry extract for a brightening effect.
- Can be worn with liquid or powder foundations and bronzers.
- Vegan-friendly
- Paraben-free

Scam Letter(s) from Julia to David (United Kingdom)
Letter 1
Thank you very much for your letter, I was very glad to receive it. I am very glad that you understand me as the friend, it is very pleasant to me. I can entrust you the most important and secret thoughts. But I very much want, that in the future our friendship became more than friendship. I want, that our relations developed to the best and we could be happy. I am really very happy that after my holiday I will become the surgeon. I long aspired to it and I can not believe that my dreams become real. I yet have not decided that I will do during my holiday. But I know that I very much would like to spend this time with you. I understand that I am possible too early about it I speak, but it is truth. I think every day of us together and I represent our meeting in the future. You became very dear to me and I have the big desire to develop our friendship. Honey, you know, yesterday when I was online and when I was thinking about you :) Ive seen that story, that I would like to share with you. I hope you will like it, tell me your opinion on that, ok? Here it is: Whenever it rains, it is a very spectacular sight to behold. It can be a mild shower, a fierce thunderstorm, a light drizzle or even a display of lightning amidst a backdrop of scenic landscape, but all that I ask for is that when it rains, I want you to be by my side to admire and take in the beauty of life - water. An essential element that has kept us alive to this very day to continue being in love. Whenever raindrops fall from the sky, big or small, I can be assured that heaven is tearing for the sins of this world. And with every single tear comes drops of forgiveness and it is this act of forgiving that enables the human race to sustain an existence on this living hell and it is this forgiveness that gave rise to love which is the biggest forgiver of all. Watching the rain with you is like a very special ritual. When two minds are deep in thoughts, when two hearts are deep in love, when two people are not speaking but just enjoying the silence of the moment save the thoughts of heaven raining upon green pastures in front of us, we are able to hear each other better. We are able to think more about each other, care more for each other. Like a hand across your shoulders, a gentle massage on the neck, a kiss on the cheek or just the thoughts of each other. Every time when it rains, I feel so warm both physically and emotionally. You will be there with me, holding me tight, feeling the rain splattering against our faces, huddling on to each other for warmth when we hug and kiss in the rain. It is such sheer rejuvenation, experiencing what it is like to be refreshed and free from all burdens and worries, just being with the girl I love, in the rain. The chill of the wind might sear through my heart, the sky might be all gloomy and dark but I am sure that there will always be a rainbow after the rain. It will be a beautiful sight to appreciate in awe as the ray of seven colors stretches from horizon to horizon making it the most majestic view from afar. The warmth of the sun as it re-emerges, the chirping of the bird as they start to feed, the swaying of the tress in the gentle breeze are all but part of the picturesque scenery with us standing in the foreground, completing the picture, just like you complete me, feeling every single gap in my heart just like water filling up an empty glass till it overflows, with your love. The rainbow way above us, coupled with the landscape we are part of is our world of beauty but the greatest beauty of all is the one I will only ever love, standing beside me, with me. That will be you. This very special moment in time spent and shared together is liken to a celebration of our love that is everlasting and eternal, tried but true, encapsulated in the purest form of patience, kindness, understanding, concern, respect, trust and faith in our hearts forever... I hope you liked it, David. This story made me think about you, hun :) I am finishing my letter now and I will be looking forward to your reply!!!
With hugs and tender kisses,
Yuliya ...

The National Hockey League's labor dispute between the owners and players led to the cancellation of the first week of preseason games.
The move by the league costs the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings three dates, including the Sept. 24 home ice preseason opener against the Phoenix Coyotes at Staples Center. The Kings have also lost games against the Colorado Avalanche in Denver and in Las Vegas.
The Anaheim Ducks erased a Sept. 25 game against Phoenix at their Honda Center home ice, plus games against Colorado and San Jose.
The second week of preseason games remains intact for now. The Kings and Ducks are scheduled to play on Oct. 1 in Anaheim.
Both teams open the regular season on Oct. 12.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said the league has "no set policy on cancellations" of other games.
Also Wednesday, a person familiar with the plan says NHL employees at the league offices will switch to a four-day work week Oct. 1 because of the lockout.
The move will effectively cut salaries by 20 percent. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the NHL hadn't made the plan public.
The news was first reported by The Canadian Press.
The Florida Panthers and Ottawa Senators have let staff go because of the lockout, while several other teams have said they don't have any plans to do so as of now.
The league locked out its players at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, its fourth shutdown since 1992.

Real Estate Websites Built on WordPress - 32 Examples of Realtor Blogs
This post originally appeared on AgentApplause.com which has been merged with Harmon Enterprises. It's the same team creating the content...but now you can find it all under the HarmonEnterprises.com web roof!
Today I attended Real Estate WordCamp in Denver, CO where I presented a session designed to highlight real estate websites that are built on WordPress. Following is the slide deck from my presentation. If you are a Realtor looking to build a web presence, all of the examples in the slide deck are great foundations for ideas. And all are built on WordPress as the underlying development platform and are worthy of applause:
One of the sites that I used in the presentation (www.GoodLifeTeam) was featured in an earlier AgentApplause.com post where I express why I think that Wordpress is THE development platform for today's Realtor. As the slides show, there are a few Realtors who agree and are doing some great sites.
Do you know some great Realtor sites that are built in Wordpress? Let us know by leaving a comment with a link to the site in the comments.

Man pleads guilty in fire that caused mother's death
A former Slatington man who was charged with acting in a reckless or grossly negligent manner when he started a fire that killed his mother in February pleaded guilty on Monday, to involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree misdemeanor.
Chad Matthew Lever, 26, was sentenced to two years of probation by Lehigh County Judge James T. Anthony.
First Assistant District Attorney Steven Luksa said the prosecution and defense reached an agreement for a binding sentence of probation.
Luksa said that the sentence was consistent with the wishes of the family of Lisa House, 47,who was lying in a bed and was trapped in her house at 424 W. Washington St. in Slatington after the fire started.
Lever was the primary caregiver for his mother, who had amyotrophic lateral schlerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease. House was unable to walk without assistance but had a walker and leg braces. She primarily was confined to an upstairs bedroom, according to Luksa.
Luksa told the judge that Lever is suffering from the loss of his mother and is grieving with the rest of the family. "We don't believe that incarceration would serve anyone," Luksa said.
He said that Detective Lou Tallarico of the Lehigh County Homicide Task Force, who investigated the case along with Slatington police, agreed with the resolution to the case.
Lever's two aunts, who were the sisters of House, told the judge they agreed with the plea.
"It was an awful accident," said Denise Reeser, adding that the family "does not see how any type of jail time…would serve a purpose."
Another sister, Donna Blose, told the judge that Lever and his mother got along very well.
Blose said Lever loved his mother and never wanted to hurt her. "This was a terrible accident," Blose said.
Luksa gave the following summary of the case:
At about 11 p.m. on Feb. 3, House was in bed in a second-floor bedroom when Lever went upstairs to look for one of the family's two cats. When the cat went under the bed, Lever used a lighter to illuminate the area under the bed.
The bedding caught fire, and Lever tried to get his mother out of the bed but was unsuccessful. Lever also tried to put out the fire but could not.
Emergency personnel, Slatington police and state police arrived at the scene. Slatington police were unable to put out the fire with fire extinguishers, and the Slatington Fire Department extinguished the fire.
House was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township. A forensic pathologist determined that House died of smoke inhalation. Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim ruled the manner of death as homicide, which means death at the hands of another.
In June Lever was charged with involuntary manslaughter and recklessly endangering another person.
In an interview with investigators, Lever said he repeatedly flicked the lighter to try to get the cat to come out from under the bed. Lever's statement was consistent with the evidence, Luksa said.
Luksa said Lever, who had been free on bail and has no criminal record, is working and has an apartment.
Defense lawyer John Baurkot said Lever was a good son who helped his mother to do many household and personal tasks. He said that Lever used a lighter to get the cats to jump up on his mother's bed and "it went terribly wrong this time."

If you haven't yet read The Ethics of Abortion by Christopher Kaczor, you should definitely consider reading it. However, I was asked to give my thoughts on a critical review written by Joshua Stein about Kaczor's book. Ordinarily, reading over this review, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. It doesn't present any serious challenges to Kaczor's book, and he mainly complains about the methodology of the book rather than actually responding to any of Kaczor's arguments. But since I was asked, I'll respond to Stein's claims below.
I've interacted with Stein some on Facebook. From what I've gathered, he's a philosophy professor but to my knowledge, hasn't done any work in the field of philosophy, itself. Other than that, I don't know much about him, but you can read his critique on Goodreads here.
The first thing I noticed is Stein's complete lack of engagement with Kaczor's book. He doesn't provide any page numbers so you can see if he's correctly understanding Kaczor's arguments, and he doesn't even seriously engage with any of them. Compare Stein's critique with one of my critical critiques on Amazon.

Home energy workshop Dec. 11 in Templeton
Homeowners can learn about home energy upgrade opportunities at free dinner and informational event
EmPower San Luis Obispo County invites local homeowners to attend a free dinner workshop on Dec. 11 at 601 S. Main Street in Templeton from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. to learn how EmPower can help them access easy and affordable home energy upgrades.
During the workshop, EmPower Energy Coach Paul Menconi will present real examples of common issues he has encountered touring homes in San Luis Obispo County. Attendees can ask Paul their own home energy questions, as well as schedule a free Energy Coach Visit for a comprehensive look at their own home's energy performance, including the condition of the heating ventilation and air conditioning system, insulation levels, water heater, and other major appliances that can contribute to high energy bills.
"It's a great time of year to understand what improvements can be made to increase comfort in one's home and reduce energy use," said Menconi. "People are surprised that no matter the age of their home—whether new, old or newly remodeled—there are usually inefficiencies that can be improved upon."
The event will also provide information on how EmPower can help connect homeowners to qualified local contractors for home energy audits and recommendations on fixing common issues like old or broken furnaces, ducts, windows and insulation. These upgrades improve home comfort and indoor air quality while helping to lower utility bills and save energy.
Attendees will also learn how to take advantage of low interest, unsecured financing and up to $6,500 in utility incentives for home energy efficiency projects.
To RSVP for a workshop, visit www.emPowerSBC.org/events. For more information, please call emPower San Luis Obispo County at (805) 781-5982.
About EmPower Central Coast
The EmPower program offers voluntary incentives, financing and other services to help single-family homeowners in Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo Counties make home energy upgrades easier and more affordable. EmPower was originally established by Santa Barbara County to help the community preserve the environment by helping to lower energy consumption and stimulate the economy by creating jobs through innovative, voluntary solutions to support a sustainable building performance market.
EmPower is funded by California utility ratepayers and administered by Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison Company and Pacific Gas & Electric under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission, the US Department of Energy Better Buildings program and the California Energy Commission with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars.

Take a look at Fangraphs' Wins Above Replacement leader board for position players since 2010 and you'll notice plenty of familiar suspects among the top 10. There's Miguel Cabrera sitting on top of the pile, followed closely by Robinson Cano and Joey Votto. Andrew McCutchen and his long flowing locks sit in the middle, as do a pair of popular AL 3rd basemen. Baseball's next legend Mike Trout sits near the bottom of the list of 10, despite having spent what equates to an entire season in the minors. Suspended slugger Ryan Braun rounds out the bottom of the group. Tucked in among those perennial All-Stars and highlight-making machines is one of the last guys you would ever suspect: Ben Zobrist.
The Rays' super-utility All-Star has carved out a highly valuable, highly important role on Joe Maddon's roster by acting as the franchise's Swiss army knife. Do you need someone to cover 3rd base in order to give Evan Longoria a day off? Call on Zobrist. Do you need a right fielder until Wil Myers is good and ready for the big leagues? Zobrist. How about a middle infielder who can make all the plays? Zobrist, Zobrist, Zobrist. He affords Joe Maddon a level of flexibility that few other players in baseball history can match and he's been doing it for years now.
Look at how many games Zobrist has spent playing different positions since his Major League debut in 2006:
|First Base:
|Second Base:
|Third Base:
|Left Field:
|Center Field:
|Right Field:
If you run a quick search through the trusty ole' Play Index over at Baseball-Reference, you'll find that there have been only five other players in baseball history with at least 1 full season worth of games at second base, shortstop, and one of the outfield spots: Alan Bannister, Tony Phillips, Woodie Held, Derrel Thomas, and Jimmy Johnston.
And while most of that group, apart from Phillips, struggled with the bat, that's no issue for the patient and powerful Zobrist. Among players with at least 1500 at-bats since 2009 Zobrist ranks 37th in baseball with a 125 OPS+, which ties him with Mark Teixeira and Ryan Howard and puts him ahead of the likes of Alex Rodriguez, Chase Utley, and Dustin Pedroia among others. His walk rate is among the top 20 in baseball since 2009, ahead of the feared David Ortiz, and Zobrist is one of only 10 players in baseball over the same time span to steal at least 80 bags and hit at least 80 homers.
Zobrist has been flashing the leather like an All-Star as well. According to Fangraphs, only Dustin Pedroia and Clint Barmes have accumulated more value with their gloves than Zobrist has since 2009. Baseball-Reference is in agreement as well, ranking Zobrist 7th in baseball in defensive WAR at 8.7.
If you watch Ben Zobrist play, it quickly becomes apparent why he's so good in the field, no matter where he's placed. Zobrist is no slouch in the infield either. He spent most of his time in the minor leagues at shortstop and only began to move around the infield as a way to gain some extra playing time. He usually brings 3 to 5 gloves — a 1st base mitt, a middle infield glove or two, a glove with a little more webbing for 3rd, and one for the outfield — to the ball park each day, never knowing where he'll play in Maddon's ever-changing lineup.
Zobrist exhibits plus range in the infield and his ability to switch his arm slot back and forth as he switches positions is second to none. As an infielder Zobrist is able to whip off those quick release, sidearm tosses that are so crucial to nabbing runners at 1st. When Zobrist is in the outfield he has the ability to really stretch out his throwing motion, which allows him to get more power on his throws, which can help cut down any would be base runners.
Against the Orioles on September 23rd, in a game the Rays had to win, Zobrist was given only his 2nd start of the year and he put that arm strength on display. Zobrist nabbed Alexi Casilla at the plate in the 6th inning to hold the Orioles lead to 2 runs and then in the top of the 8th, with the game knotted up at 4, the Rays utility superstar gunned down Matt Wieters, who was looking to stretch a double into a triple. Both plays by Zobrist took runs off the board and got the Rays a crucial win over a playoff competitor. In fact, in the words of Joe Maddon, "Ben Zobrist playing left field won today's game. Zo's defense won today's game. Period."
Ben Zobrist, more than any other player, perhaps in the history of baseball, has come to define what it means to be an ideal utility player. His versatility and willingness to do anything to help the team win have made #18 the quintessential Rays player and if he can string together another 5 good-to-great years to match his last 6, he just might make his way into Cooperstown.
Big thanks to Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference for the statistical help!

Kolkata: Expressing "serious concern" over, "political discrimination" among states, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday wrote to Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit Patel seeking to know the "nature of allocation of new currency" to each state.
Meanwhile, Patel met Banerjee and state government officials at the state secretariat Nabanna after the apex bank's central board meet here.
In her letter, Banerjee wrote: "We would like to know from you the nature of allocation of new currency to each of the states in a spirit of transparency and accountability since there are serious concerns about political discrimination amongst states.
"As the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, … we expect you to stand up against this demonetisation onslaught against the common people of the nation at this moment of crisis, rather than falling silent and remaining opaque."
Banerjee also said that the country has been going through an unprecedented misery and suffering due to "cruel misadventure of demonetisation" which has not been seen in any modern democracy.
She also mentioned in the letter that already five crores of workers across the country and across the sectors were facing unemployment and hunger, and the unorganised sector, which provides two-third jobs in the country has literally collapsed.
"The small and medium enterprises are shutting down shops in lakhs. The massive trading sector of the economy has been brought down to its knees due to the cash crunch, unable to conduct its business. The farmers of our nation are going through a trauma never seen before and that too not due to natural calamity but due to a man-made disaster of massive demonetisation," said Banerjee.
She said even middle and larger industries have cut down on their production by at least 50 per cent.
Banerjee has been criticising RBI on the way demonetisation of high-value currency notes is being implemented. She also criticised Patel's 'silence' on the issue.
She also urged the Centre and RBI to "extend a helping hand to tea garden workers", who she alleged were "dying" in the aftermath of demonetisation.
The letter also said that the Governor was aware that the economy was getting derailed and GDP growth rates were being revised downwards every day.

Be Your Own Superhero blog
Welcome to my blog!
It's pretty awesome, I know. But enough chitchat. We're on a mission!
If you are experiencing a personal or professional crisis, deciding where to go next in life, feeling stuck, or simply want to be more creative, this blog's for you.
You were born with a unique creative gift that no one else in the world can express like you. Your innate skills and passions are your superpowers. But because you've been pressured to conform to someone else's idea of who you should be, you probably suffer from "Suppressed Superpower Syndrome." I'm here to help you take your power back.
Using psychology, music, and workshop success stories, I will help you shake up your self-limiting beliefs, discover your unique talents and skills, build the courage to go after your dreams, persist through setbacks, and reach your full creative potential in work and life.
Yeah, it's a big promise, I know, but I think we can do it! Don't you?
I have a good track record. And my "Be Your Own Superhero" blog was chosen by Lifehack as One of 15 Brilliant Website That Will Inspire And Change Your Life.
Why I Know What I'm "Talking" About
Years ago when I was a psychology professor, I felt deeply empty, despite my success. I loved my students but the truth was, I wanted to sing rock-n-roll.
"Ridiculous," a voice that sounded a lot like my mother's screamed inside my head. For one, it would mean I had wasted four years at Princeton getting my PhD in psychology. For another, I was too old. How could I change now, wasn't it too late?
I kept thinking about how happy my students were whenever I gave them permission to be their true selves. Within a year, I left my solid teaching position to follow my dream to be a rock star! My songs have been on the charts, and I've led creativity workshops for 20 years and helped thousands of participants realize their dreams, too.
Now that's my superpower. What's yours? Not sure? That's OK – that's what this blog is for!
Are you ready to be your own superhero? Listen to this song to get pumped up for the challenge!
