NRS 115 is the chapter in the Nevada Revised Statutes that concerns the homestead law.
We hope this brief summary of the Nevada Homestead Law will be of assistance to you. If you need a homestead declaration form, you may download one from this Web page.
You will need your parcel number and legal description to complete your Homestead form. If you do not have this information (it is on your recorded deed), you may get it from our online Real Property Records.
We are not permitted to assist in completing any legal document.
If you have any legal questions regarding this document, please consult your attorney.
4. For information regarding recording fees, please contact the Recorder's Office at 702-455-4336 or visit their website at www.clarkcountynv.gov/recorder.
The completed Homestead Declaration can also be mailed to the Recorder's main office. The Recorder's Office is unable to accept mailed documents for recording at the Satellite Offices.
When you record a Declaration of Homestead, Nevada law protects a set amount of equity in your home established per NRS 115, from general creditor claims (unpaid medical bills, bankruptcy, charge card debts, business/personal loans, accidents) but would not preclude a seizure or forced sale of your residence from general creditors if your equity exceeds the maximum equity allowed. A creditor may file suit and can record a judgment lien against any real property you own. Recording a Declaration of Homestead protects your principal residence up to the statutory maximum. For example, if the value of your home is $645,000 and you have a first mortgage of $485,000 plus a second mortgage of $10,000, the equity is $150,000.
The Homestead law does not protect you against debts secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, payment of taxes, IRS lien, mechanic's lien, child support or alimony payments.

Ive been playing around the Trinity Baptist site to see what these people have been up to with Creationism.
Their pastors blog is full of wonderful giggle-inducing posts (how to deal with Mormons, the BAPTIST way!). Found a post he made on 'science':
I have enclosed a preliminary list of books and websites in order to help you understand some of the most salient arguments for ID, Creation Science and the Genesis account. These resources will expose some of the most glaring and problematic inadequacies of the theory of Evolution. unfortunately, these inadequacies are routinely glossed over or ignored in the college classrooms, and ID and Creation Science are summarily dismissed with a shake of the head or by catagorizing them as merely religious. These books will help to arm you with the facts.His book list includes The Design Revolution, by Dear Billy, and THE Creationism Classic, The Genesis Flood (among others). WHY OH WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP PUTTING ID AND CREATIONISM IN THE SAME BOAT?? WHYYY???

What's Up in Pizza: 3D Printed Pizza at Home,Chain Pizza Battles, and More!
Published: Last Updated:
- Pizza Hut has never been huge in NYC, and things have only gotten worse, with locations going down from 20 in 2009 to 16 this year (10 of which are in Queens), according to the Center for an Urban Future. Their rival Domino's, on the other hand, has 70 stores spread out across the boroughs. Why the disparity? Especially when Pizza Hut is leading nationally (with 6,200 stores vs. 4,939 Domino's)? According to the Observer, the TMNT favorite thrives in the city in part thanks to its focus on delivery, low price, and late hours—all necessary to compete in a city known for its good, independent pizza options.
- A new piece out from Slate takes a looks at the role that social embarrassment plays in retail. Four management professors published the paper—"An Embarrassment of Niches"—which examines situations where a reduction in human interaction saw consequent changes in purchasing behavior. One example involved an undisclosed pizza chain that launched an option for ordering online. When researchers compared the orders of the 6.7% of customers who used the website to what those same customers had previously ordered by phone, they found that customers spent nearly $1 more on toppings, and that the toppings themselves were more complex. The bottom line? People were less embarrassed to order complex and unhealthy "double bacon half pineapple half barbecue" options online than they had been to order them over the phone.
- Foo Fighters' are about to perform their first full concerts in over a year—the group decided to get started a little early, with a show at the appropriately named L.A. pizza joint Rock & Roll Pizza. Rolling Stone covered the performance, a 23-song set in the appealingly intimate venue. Foo Fighters' will be performing this week in Mexico City, their first full show after the hiatus they've been on since last fall (and will be releasing a new album in early 2014).
- According to Businessweek, one of DiGiorno Pizza's cheese suppliers will cease purchasing their milk from a farm that has been at the center of a recent animal-cruelty scandal, the latest sign of growing concerns over humane treatment. Activist group Mercy for Animals published an undercover video depicting the abuse of the animals at Wiese Brothers Farm in Greenleaf, Wis.—the farm is noted as taking immediate steps to address the situation, but the incident has shed light on the larger issues concerning farm animal treatment. Deborah Cross, Nestle spokeswoman (owners of DiGiorno), had this to say, "Consumers are increasingly concerned with animal welfare, and rightly so. At Nestle, this is a concern that we wholeheartedly share. Animal cruelty is not acceptable." Shifts in consumer attitude in recent years may finally see some of these anti-cruelty campaigns gaining traction, as big companies slowly begin to make the necessary changes to their sourcing guidelines.
- We've talked about 3D printed pizza here in the past, but now Tom's Guide has covered a new product that might make this futuristic method of pizza-making more attainable: the Foodini, from Barcelona-based startup Natural Machines. Company co-founder Lynete Kucsma says that they're "...looking to go way beyond just chocolate...we're looking for everyday foods that you would eat." The Foodini is built to prepare all sorts of stuff, not just pizza (ravioli and burgers, for example)—but keep in mind that the printed foods still need to be baked or heated before being ready to eat. Currently in prototype, the finished product will eventually look like something out of a Jetson's episode, sleek and silver, and is expected to go on sale spring 2014 for somewhere around $1,400.
- And, as a final note—if you saw yesterday's post about Macaulay Culkin's new pizza-themed cover band, The Pizza Underground, you may want to check out the latest gem in their collection: a Tumblr account devoted exclusively to the group's visual meanderings.

This page covers some basic topics concerning the online Dictionary (BT). If your question is not covered, look & ask in the Forums, or Contact us directly.
The topics covered here:
To find relevant entries, use the Basic Search to the left, or the Advanced Search button. You may also click on the letters along the top of the page to see all entries starting with that letter.
On the entry page, previous and following entries (in the order of the paper dictionary) can be reached by "Previous Entry" and "Next Entry" links.
Alphabetically close entries are displayed to the left - items from the Main volume of the dictionary are in bold, items from the Supplement are not in bold.
General information About the dictionary, Guestbook and other Forums, Contact form and information and this Help are available through the link in the top right corner of the page.
Type your search string into the text box on the left to see the suggested entries. You may select one of the suggestions or click Search. Use the buttons above the text box to enter ash - æ and thorn - þ (all the headwords are spelled with thorn - þ, while and eth - ð is only used in the text of the entries). The diacritical marks (acute signs or macrons indicating vowel length) are ignored in the search. Compounds may be hyphenated or non-hyphenated, although the hyphenated variants will not generate suggestions. Suggestions are based on headwords starting with your search string. Therefore, if you search for "rædþeahten", "rædþeahtende" will be suggested and it will take you to the entry "rǽd-þeahtende" if selected.
If no headwords start (or are identical) with your search string, all headwords containing the search string in any position are returned. Therefore, if you search for "eahted", nothing is suggested, but after you submit the search, entries like "ge-eahtedlic" will be returned.
If no headwords contain your searchstring, full-text search of the text of the entries will be carried out. Therefore, if you search for "dryhtenes" entries containing that word, like "dryhten" will be returned. This is also useful to find OE equivalents of Modern English words - try searching for "autumn".
Basic search tries to do all the decision for you. If you want to have better control over the results or you need more sophisticated search conditions, use the Advanced Search.
The Advanced Search is accessed using the button above the basic search text box.
The individual features or conditions of the search are at the top. You can limit the results by search strings presence and positions in the headword or in the text of the entries and you can combine more of such conditions for each using the More Options button. This way, you may for example search for all headwords containing "mod", but not starting with it, or for all entries containing "lord", but not "god".
Further restrictions on the morphology (like word-class/part of speech, gender, class membership etc.) of the results may be set by the checkboxes.
Number of results may be set by the Items per page option.
Individual entries may be cited using the Cite button below each entry, which allows you to chose from a number of citation formats. [12]

What with all of the fantastic American men around, what made me choose to tie the knot with a foreigner? How about this fun, tongue-in-cheek, stereotypical rundown of some of my favorites (ignoring, of course, all of the challenges that go into an international marriage – you can find those in my post 10 Reasons Why You Should NOT Marry a Foreigner)?
Let the countdown begin…
10. That glorious accent! Who knew an "R" could be rolled that way!
9. Foreigners are oh-so-sophisticated. Whether they grow up on a farm, in the city, poor or rich, they just have an air of sophistication about them. They simply can't help it!
8. He thinks I am fascinating. When we met in Ireland, he didn't realize how completely common I am in my home country… too late now!
7. I have an open-ended excuse to travel. Ok, sometimes this can be completely annoying since every vacation abroad is filled with visiting his family but hey, at least I have a reason to board the plane and it is great not to have to cook and clean for a month.
6. Our children will speak another language and we won't have to pay an expensive tutor.
5. Two weddings. I'll admit that we didn't end up having our second wedding (the "American wedding") which upset my side of the family to no end (we really did want to have one, honestly, I swear!) but the excellent excuse for getting family and friends together twice is fantastic!
4. He automatically charms friends and family. See #9 above… Need I say more?
3. Chocolate and more chocolate. I finally have an excuse to indulge in that high quality chocolate (the kind that melts in your mouth like nothing else in the world) that he can't live without!
2. I love a challenge. Who would want to have a simple, normal, easy relationship? Especially after our children arrived, things got really challenging (and it wasn't the decision of whether to use cloth or disposable – that decision was the easiest: cloth!).
1. True Love! It just couldn't be any other way! Meeting in Ireland, breaking up in Versaille for an excruciating 10 minutes, meeting the families, being separated for a year to finish college… it was all worth it and made our relationship even stronger. After all of that, there was no way I could let him go, ever!
Are you married to someone from another country? What is your silly, fun, tongue-in-cheek top 10 list (or at least a few from your list)?
Or maybe you want to share the challenges that go into international marriage? If so, read my post 10 Reasons Why You Should NOT Marry a Foreigner (Like I Did) and share your thoughts there!

"Really enjoyed working with Lewis. Incredibly knowledgeable about market and neighborhoods, great insight on value for money. Best of all friendly, patient and thoughtful, even when we were very indecisive. Highly recommend Lewis for any real estate need."
- Ricky Richardson
"We had the privilege of dealing with Mr. White from the time we were first looking for a rental prior to our move to Spartanburg to the time we sold the house that he found for us, approximately 2-3/4 years later. . . I don't know anyone in Spartanburg that understands the real estate market better than Lewis and and I don't know anyone that has a sincere and personal connection with more people in Spartanburg than Lewis. We enjoyed every minute of our relationship and would highly recommend him and his company's services to anyone."
- M. Posey & S. Santana - Spartanburg
"I would definitely recommend Claude Saleeby of W. Lewis White Company. He helped us sell our parents' home in Spartanburg. Because we do not live in Spartanburg, Claude had to deal with many details and act on our behalf. He always stayed on top of the details, kept us informed, and went the extra mile to make our experience as smooth as possible."
- Sue C. - Columbia, SC
"Jeanne Thompson is a complete and dedicated professional agent. Her service to our family was top shelf, and she went the extra mile through every stage of the process, from search to closing. Her experience enabled her to offer sound and timely advice, and her deep understanding of the market ensured we met our goals with an exceptional property. We highly recommend her services based on her proven skill, determination, and diligence. Finally, she was a pleasure to work with, and her genuine, down to earth demeanor contributed greatly to a smooth process and successful outcome."
- William Ball
"When we decided to put our home of 27 years on the market for sale, we were faced with the challenging task of finding a realtor in whom we could put our trust to properly value the house, market the house, find qualified buyers and ensure the closing would go smoothly.
We interviewed three different realtors before deciding to list the home with W. Lewis White Company. Lewis was the only one of the three who, at our initial meeting, came having already done research into comparable homes selling in our area. He presented documentation on how many other homes are available in the same price range and square footage and how long they are typically on the market before selling.
Lewis showed us the various media in which he markets the homes he lists and said he would be able to provide us with feedback from buyers after each showing.
Most likely, every Realtor has the same resources, but as we stated, Lewis was the only Realtor who came prepared and explained all of this to us.
The home was shown multiple times, several offers were made, and it ultimately sold for the asking price. Throughout the process, Lewis and his assistant Deanna kept us informed and advised us on our next steps.
In short, we couldn't have found anyone better than Lewis White to represent our home. We've already told many of our friends and family how pleased we were. If we had to go through this a hundred times, we would choose Lewis each time. His integrity, determination, knowledge and dedication is unsurpassed. "
- Penny & Nancy Hodges - Spartanburg, SC
"Lewis is the most knowledgeable and skilled realtor we have ever worked with. After a 1 hour meeting he ascertained the type of home we were looking for and presented excellent choices in a limited inventory market! We found the perfect home and he negotiated a good price. Then he made sure everything stayed on track for our closing date! I highly recommend Lewis for any real estate need!"
- Bill Hulette - Spartanburg, SC
"We have used Jeanne on 3 of our home purchases, and will never use any other Realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area, professional and never hesitates to humor any request - no matter how foolish it may sound. She listens to your wants and needs, doesn't push you towards one home or another, but, somehow, always seems to know what is right for yur family - even before you do. Her patience with us during all of our home buying experiences was incredible; our kids still rave about Miss Jeanne and always want to stop by and see her! She is a true gem and we send anyong looking to buy or sell a home in this area her way."
- Allison - Inman, SC
"We worked with Jeanne Thompson in selling our current home and buying the home that we'd move to. The best decision we made in both situations was asking Jeanne for help. Her attention to details, coupled with her knowledge of the Upstate area and willingness to get to know our family's needs made the process of buying and selling as pleasant as possible. We were pretty inexperienced buyer/seller and Jeanne knew exactly how to help when we were unsure, uneasy and treading in waters unfamiliar. If we were going to buy or sell another home, we would without any hesitation ask Jeanne for her help. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for assistance in the real estate market."
- Paul - Spartanburg, SC
"Lewis White was the most knowledgeable realtor we interviewed before listing our mid- century modern home on Ivy Street. Lewis is very familiar with the Spartanburg market. He was very helpful in establishing our sale price and expectations. We are extremely happy we listed with Lewis. We had five showings within the first week. Lewis brought us an acceptable offer within a few days of our initial showings.
Lewis guided us through the contract, inspection stages, negotiation and a successful closing. Lewis was able to work with all parties to enable us to close on this sale and then close in Charleston on our new house the same day !
My wife and I highly recommend W Lewis White Company Inc."
- Gene Kendrick - Spartanburg
"Within a two month span I worked with Lewis on selling a house and buying a house. On both occasions his professionalism and knowledge of the area was an obvious asset. With his contacts, we were able to sell our home quickly and with his direction we found our perfect new home. Thanks Lewis!"
- Kyle Boyles - Spartanburg, SC

Questions and Answers..
I receive many many questions each week and thought I'd take a minute to post and answer a few.
Many emails came up after I posted about Paleo Eating For Athletes. It's interesting that so many comment on the way people eat. It's almost like posting about religion or politics..I'm always stunned at how the comments almost become defensive.
Some thought I'm not eating any grains. I'm not eating the Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain; I'm eating Paleo Eating For Athletes, by Loren Cordain and Joel Friel. Big difference. In PEFA a person DOES eat grains and sugars, mainly post workout, in the 30 minute window following a tough workout. I tried to make that very clear. I eat approximately 130 grams of carb and 130 grams of protein with 40-50 grams of fat every day. MOST of my carb grams come from fruits and veggies; some come from that post workout meal of fortified french toast, brown rice, super mega peach protein shake or what have I.
During Twin Cities Marathon I consumed 6 Hammergels and within 30 minutes of the race I drank a super shake of 40 grams of protein and 80 grams of carb. I froze it overnight and stuck it in my drop off bag to pick up post race. When I drank it down it was nice and slushy :)
I'll probably drink the same type of shake post Glacial Trail 50 this Sunday.
I receive many questions relating to my organization of time. How do I fit it all in? Well..I am a great organizer. Every hour is organized-I like it that way.
Tuesday was this:
400 Rise
415-500 Run
Wake Boys
Breakfast with Boys
Put three chickens into the crock pot with broth
Load up into the car and off we go to school
work 730-3
330-430 run
500-630 Troy's football game
645-make dumplings for chicken soup dinner/home time
See..it all fits:
415-5 lift/stepper at gym
wake boys
breakfast with boys
roast into crock pot with potatoes and carrots
load up into car and off we go
work 730-3
315-415 my woman's run group; 5 miles
430 pick up Troy from football practice
445 dinner with boys
530-630 run with Topaz
645-home time
400 wake
415-5 treadmill
wake boys
breakfast with boys
off we go
7-230 work
3-4 run with Topaz
430 pick up Troy/Tyler
500 dinner and home for the day
A couple of times a month a meeting is thrown into the evening, no biggie. I have plenty of free time. I have a stress less job, I get off at 3PM, makes for plenty of time and weekends are pretty free too.
Troy's last football game is on Monday. Tyler and Troy will both begin snowboard club in November so we'll begin hitting the hill then.
I receive many emails asking how do I keep motivated? Well, motivation just doesn't show up on your door step one day. It's created. When I first began to run I didn't like it. I ran to lose weight. Plain and simple. I cut my calories and began exercising and I lost fat. Motivation came by doing. Motivation came by seeing a change in myself. Motivation came by doing something different, so seeing a different outcome. If you keep on doing what you have been doing, and you are seeing NO results..you will continue to see no results. Nothing is going to change. YOU have to change what you are doing to see a change in the result.
I entered a race a month..a 5K, a 10K. I knew that if I had a race looming out in front of me that I would get out the door to run each day. It worked. I got out each day and after two years I finally began to enjoy running. I began to run just for the run. Just for the time to spend with myself, to enjoy mother nature, to enjoy the run.
I receive a ton of emails relating to weight loss. How do I keep the weight off? and How did I lose the weight? I lost the weight by logging every single item I put into my mouth. This is really the first step. You have to know what you are eating. How much you are eating. If you aren't losing it is because you are eating too much. Most of us under approximate our food intake. If you 'guess' you are eating 1500 calories a day, you are probably eating 2000. If you have no idea, and really want to lose, you better get an idea. You can log your intake at fitday.com for free and I'm sure there are 101 other food logging sites. Just google food log and you'll find many. I log at Leanness Lifestyle. Once I began logging I realized I had intense sugar cravings. I couldn't give it up. When I finally decided to give up sugar my whole world changed. I'd go off sugar for a few months and then wham! I'd eat a brownie or something and the cravings would come back; I could feel physical and mental cravings/addiction to sugar. It's awful. You know, with alcohol and cigarettes..I could just cut it out. No more. With food you just can't cut it out. You have to have some. I don't HAVE to have sugar, but it is so hard to cut out. I still have many time when I want to have a big fat brownie or cake or whatever but for the most part I can stay away, just by thinking about the outcome. ONE IS NEVER ENOUGH. Ever. The outcome is always the same with sugar: MORE. It always will be.
Yes, I miss it. Yes, I want chocolate. Will I succumb to it? I hope not. I can definitely say I will not succumb to alcohol or cigarettes again. Ever. Can I say that about sugar? No. I can't. Why? It's too damn good. The taste is good, but the taste only lasts such a short while. Then the outcome is the same: I want more. I feel full/sluggish/physically and mentally slow. Why would I want more? Addiction.
I receive emails regarding lifting weights. How often do I lift and what do I lift? I lift 3 times a week. Day 1 is back/biceps/tricep; Day 2 is chest/shoulders and Day 3 is legs. Legs is taking quite a while so I might end up dividing legs into two days eventually. I lift heavy pounds, low reps of 4-6 and 3-4 sets. Right now I'm building so if I can lift 6 reps I'll increase the weight. If I can't lift 4 reps I'll lessen the weight. I want to lift 4-6 reps. Mid summer when I'm racing and putting in high miles I'll lift a bit lighter, getting in 10-12 reps. Typically each session is 35 minutes except legs is usually 65 minutes.
I usually hit the stair master two times a week for 40-60 minutes each session and ride bike 80 miles a week or so from May-October. Not fast, not racing, just enjoying.
These are the questions I've been asked over the past few weeks. Any more questions, just ask away!
I feel all recovered from TCM; ready to run Glacial Trail 50 on Sunday :)

Hi Julie,
I just wanted to let you know how much you have inspired me over the past 6 months (I found your blog last Spring when I was training for the VT 100). I just started running ultras this year, and I have a schedule very similar to yours.
My biggest buggaboo is my stomach (but I don't get blisters, so I guess I should count my blessings!). I am just starting to move away from a high carb diet and more toward proteins and fats, a la Paleo for Athletes. I am hoping this makes a difference for my tummy in my upcoming races.
Anyhoo, just wanted to let you know I was out here. Thanks for all the great stories. Keep on keepin' on!
- Irish Blue said...
Thanks Julie, that was really informative. Although I've never asked those questions, I've definitely wondered, especially about how you organize your time.
I do have a couple of questions. One is, what time do you go to bed? The second question I have is do you think running multiple times in one day is good for someone who is more of a novice? (I've been running now for 2 and a half years and have completed 5 half marathons and one full marathon.) It seems like running multiple times in one day would help me fit in more miles, but I've been told by some folks it's a bad idea unless you're an elite runner. What is your take on this?
- Julie B said...
I'm glad I'm able to inspire you. That's what this is all about :)
Irish Blue-I go to bed by 10:00 each night. I read and go to sleep. As for multiple runs a day-I always have during the school year as I can't fit in the miles in one session. It hasn't been a problem for me at all. Do what your body says you should do. It two a days hurt, don't do them all the time. If they don't hurt, and you need the miles, give it a try.
Thank you for your website
I made with photoshop backgrounds for myspace or youtube and
more my backgrounds: WOW power levelaing
take care and thank youa again!

We recently put forward Esper Scout for the Emerging Talent Stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival, along with Moats, and Voices. We thought it would be a great idea to find out a little more about them, so we spoke with Sarah, Kirsty, Rebecca, and Lou from the band.
To view the full long-list of 120 acts that made it through to the next stage of the competition, as well as all the blogs that took part in the voting process, head over here.
Q1. Congratulations on getting through to the next stage of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent stage! What made you apply for this competition? How do you feel about making it through?
Sarah (guitar, vocals): "I was spurred on through separate recommendations from two of our friends who are both passionate about the band and love Glastonbury. I didn't tell the rest of Esper Scout and so finding out that we'd been selected for the long-list was an extra surprise for them!"
Kirsty (guitar): "Obvious to say we're flattered! It feels like we've been working hard recently and it seems to be paying off. This is a really great opportunity, even if it just means that one or two extra people hear about us."
Q2. Where are you guys from? How did you meet?
Sarah: "We're based in Leeds but Kirsty, Rebecca and I were born, raised and met in Manchester, actually our town is appropriately called Bury. Me and Kirsty ended up sat next to each other on a school coach trip to Germany and shared mix tapes. I've never realised before how poetic that could sound and I guess it is! When we got home I decided to pursue drums and she picked up the bass and guitar." (ED: aww that's awesome!)
Kirsty: "Yeah, at first it was just so you'd have someone to play with. Turned out alright."
Sarah: "Thanks for doing that! How I ended up singing and playing guitar in a band I'm not quite sure. After some 'can I/can't I?' deliberation in the beginning I feel that something's definitely started clicking between the four of us over the past year and writing and self-demoing for our mini-album which we're recording in Spring has given us an injection of confidence."
Rebecca (bass): "Yeah definitely. The three of us moved up to Leeds in 2008 without much of a plan and met Lou through the city's network of musicians. We've been writing and playing together since then but Esper Scout only came in to being a couple of years ago through changes in line-up and finding a collective and better focused mind-set."
Q3. Describe your music in three words?
Lou (drums): "'Loud/Quiet/Rock' says everything about us and nothing at the same time."
Q4. Who are your musical and non-musical influences?
Sarah: "I think you can hear reflections of dynamic, melodic guitar and drum driven bands like Thrice, Silversun Pickups and Alexisonfire in our songs. My most prized possession is a 'Rap Band' beatbox machine which plays half a dozen electronic drum patterns depending on what buttons you press. An Uncle bought it me for Christmas when I was six and apparently I sat there for days pressing different combinations of three buttons which, as much as they say they were happy for me, must have driven my family and their friends a bit bonkers."
Lou: "I never looked up to anyone in particular when I started playing as much as I think I just felt a natural draw to drumming; a compulsion to build and elaborate on beats. I found out that my Granddad used to play and he was a well-respected man which inspired me to keep on at it through admiration for him."
Rebecca: "What we seem to have in common is that we all found an interest in sound before we identified specific music or artists we liked. Non-musically, seeing injustice and imbalance when it comes to female rights first motivated me to pick up the bass. From a young age I felt strongly about women becoming as empowered as men and it made me realise how important it is to have your voice heard which in turn has influenced me artistically and expressively."
Q5. What's on your agenda for 2013?
Kirsty: "We've been asked to play Not Woodstock festival in Northumberland which is taking place at Featherstone castle 3 miles south of Hadrian's Wall. Me, Rebecca and Sarah are visiting the USA's West Coast in May and we're hoping to play a bit whilst we're out there. Open mics, guitar shops, wherever will have us!"
Lou: "We've just finished demo-ing our mini-album so after recording the six songs properly in the studio we'll be busy with mixing and all the other things associated with a release such as videos, singles etc. Most importantly we'll be playing some gigs in support of them, including a week down south which we're excited about."
Q6. Any new bands/artists you recommend us checking out?
Sarah: "With us being based in Leeds you don't have to look far to find great bands. Festivals like British Wildlife, which takes place at the Brudenell Social Club, and Live at Leeds, show just how high the quality of music is in the city is, both in terms of ideas and passion. Bearfoot Beware, ENVOYS, British Racing Green and Insatellites, for example, who are all currently working on exciting things. We're really lucky to be able to be part such a well-connected and encouraging community of musicians, videographers, writers, graphic artists and illustrators etc., the coming together of which is aided by the newly opened Leeds Music Hub which is quickly becoming an invaluable resource."
Rebecca: "There are always at least three or four decent gigs a week across a wide scope of genres. Venues like Wharf Chambers and the Brudenell are really passionate about the bands they put on and how they treat audiences."
Lou: "We recently invited our friends Kassassin Street from Portsmouth to play with us and they are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. We wouldn't be surprised if they did well for themselves this year."
Q7. If you could tour with any two artists, past or present, who would they be and why?
Kirsty: "It's been a dream of mine for ages to tour with the Bloodhound Gang around Europe on their party bus. We'd need to bring some ear defenders and eye mask for Lou. The girl's gotta sleep."
Lou: And a cycle helmet so nobody shaves my hair off. Nobody wants a Lou with a head-chill!
Q8. What 3 things would you have on your perfect tour rider?
Rebecca: "Add bananas to the porridge and you've got yourself a treat for any time of day."
Lou: "Clean socks, a book of arrow-words and Diet Coke."
Kirsty: "Beer and twiglets. We chose more than three but on average less than three each if that counts."
Q9. Aside from the world of music, what do you get up to?
Rebecca: "Some of us get out cycling and running along Leeds-Liverpool canal and the forest near our base in Leeds. A bit of travelling too, when time and funds allow!"
Q10. How can we find out more about you?
Sarah: "Our main site is www.esperscout.com for news and music, with all external links accessible through icons at the top of the page."
Interviewer: Jon Sidwell
Many thanks to Sarah, Kirsty, Rebacca, and Lou for taking time out to talk us here at Music Liberation. We wish them luck in the next stage of the competition!

Brett Favre's sister among 5 arrested in meth bustKILN, Miss. (AP) — The sister of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was jailed on $40,000 bond after a brief appearance Thursday in a Mississippi courtroom, a day after she was arrested during a methamphetamine bust.
KILN, Miss. (AP) — The sister of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was jailed on $40,000 bond after a brief appearance Thursday in a Mississippi courtroom, a day after she was arrested during a methamphetamine bust.
Brandi Favre, 34, wearing orange prison scrubs and a GAP sweat shirt with her hands cuffed in front of her, was in the courtroom less than 10 minutes. Hancock County Justice Court Judge Tom Carver Sr. agreed to arraign Favre before her co-defendants because of the attention she drew. He set the bond on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and generating hazardous waste.
If convicted, she faces up to $1 million in fines and up to 30 years in prison on each count.
Defense attorneys Richard V. Dymond and Chad Favre said she planned to post bond sometime Thursday. Meanwhile, she was to be jailed about 30 miles north of coastal Kiln in Pearl River County. Prisoners have been held there since Hurricane Katrina destroyed jails in coastal counties.
She was among five people arrested Wednesday during a drug raid at a condo in Diamondhead, Miss. About nine grams of methamphetamine — worth about $1,000 — were recovered, said Hancock County Sheriff's Maj. Matt Karl.
Karl said deputies found a meth lab in the bathroom and had to evacuate seven nearby condos while a hazardous materials team cleared out all the drug-making chemicals. And it wasn't the first time deputies had encountered Brandi Favre, Karl said.
"She's always in trouble," Karl said.
Dymond said he was not sure what Favre's relationship with her co-defendants was, or her relationship with Carl Wynn III, 53, whose apartment they were in when arrested. The other four, who also face drug-related charges, also had their bonds set at $40,000.
"We really haven't had time to sit down and sort it all out yet," he said.
Favre appeared calm during her court appearance, standing directly in front of the judge's desk, flanked by her attorneys.
"She's OK," Dymond said. "She seems to be taking it all right."
Favre's next court appearance was set for Feb. 8.
In 1999, Favre, her sister-in-law and another woman were booked with felony shoplifting. In 1996, she was charged with unlawful use of a weapon in connection with a drive-by shooting at a motel in Slidell, La. At the time she was a student at Southern Mississippi, where Brett Favre played.
She completed a program in Louisiana that allowed her criminal charges to be erased.

As one month gives way to another, planets, stars and meteors light up the night sky this week.
Moon and the Seven Sisters. Near local midnight on Monday, August 26, then again the following night, watch the low eastern horizon for a rising moon parked near the famous Pleiades star cluster in the constellation Taurus, the bull. The moon will be to the far right of the 400 light year distant cluster. By the next day it will have dropped 6 degrees below Pleiades, equal to about a fist width at arm's length.
Neptune Prime Time. Also late Monday the eighth and last major planet in our solar system reaches opposition; Neptune will be exactly opposite from the sun in our skies. For sky watchers, that means this icy blue giant is at its brightest. At magnitude 7.8 a good pair of binoculars or better yet a small telescope will show off the bluish-green tinge of this distant planet's tiny disk amongst the star of the constellation Aquarius. Finders' chart for Neptune.
Moon and Bull's Eye. Look high in the southeast before dawn on Wednesday, August 28 for the last quarter moon pairing with the bright orange star Aldebaran. Marking the eye of Taurus, the bull, Aldebaran sits 65 light years from Earth and is a red giant star that's over 40 times larger than our sun.
The moon will appear strikingly close to Aldebaran–only 3 degrees apart, equal to 6 full moon disks.
Jupiter joins the moon. Look nearly halfway up the eastern sky in the predawn hours of Saturday, August 31 for Jupiter left of the waning crescent moon. The gas giant now appears as the brightest star-like object in the entire eastern sky. The cosmic pair will appear less than 5 degrees apart, about the width of your three middle fingers at arm's length. It's a pretty pairing for the naked eye or binoculars.
Jupiter itself is quite a sight through even the smallest telescope, with its large disk painted with two parallel, brown colored cloud bands. Meanwhile on either side of the planet are its four largest moons, easily visible as points of light.
Aurigid Shower Peaks. Before dawn on Sunday, September 1, the minor Aurigid meteor shower is set to peak. On average this annual meteor shower produces no more than 50 to 10 shooting stars per hour but on the rare occasions it can flare up to dozens per hour. In 2007, observers in western North America reported seeing 130 meteors per hour fall at peak time- many of them unusually bright.
As their name implies, the Aurigids appear to radiate out from the constellation Auriga, the Charioteer, which rises after local midnight in the northeast this time of the year. And with a nearly moonless night, sky conditions should be near ideal for whatever surprises may be in store
Planetary Triangle. After watching the Aurigids, at dawn Sunday look for Jupiter and Mars to form a flattering triangular pattern with the waning crescent moon in between. The sky show is best seen about 30 minutes before sunrise low in the eastern sky.

Goals: Must Have, Should Have, Could Have and Won't Have
Must Have means we must have this as part of the solution. It is a requirement or we should rethink doing this work. This is what we will deliver before the end of the work period this also doubles as our DOD "Definition Of Done"
Should have means we would be embarrassed not to have it. We could technically produce the solution without it but people would be surprised.
Could have means anything else we could do. But this does not always mean low priority. But our selection of which could haves to include or exclude (or deliver later). Also is considered low hanging fruit (if we are in this code already for x reason wecan deliver y with little or no extra effort) or can be items or ideas for this module that can be packaged for a later spike or sprint.
Won't Have means this will not happen. It might be technically impossible, a taboo for our organization or out of scope. It does not mean "might happen or would be nice".
|Wiki Markup
Must Have: (eg. the driver for the Sprint)
1. Finish off integrating the Birt module as a renderer within the reporting module (tie off GSoC project from last summer) -
2. Implement a renderer that can output to a Word document (might be handled by #1, or by doc4j, poi, or another library) -
3. Replace the generic ReportDesign editor UI with custom UIs for each Renderer type
Should Have:
Could Have:

There should be multiple design meetings. The first starts off with a small group working with the leader to determine the high level scope of the project and then to break down into smaller pieces to eventually place as tickets. Once those meetings havehappened use of the community design meeting time should be used to refine the tickets and if possible assign them to who will be doing the work.
Risks (these should be resolved prior to or during the design meetings):
Enter anything that is still questionable or worrisome that has not been answered: (open issues, potential concerns) Once a decision is made make sure that a summarized answer is included.
Example: Q. How will we handle issues with conflicting userID's? A. All ID's will have an added identifier that is unique.
Effort Accounted For: (At the end of the design call all tickets should have an estimated effort and that total should be balanced against the known available effort of the developers assigned) (Yes/No)
If not in balance in favor of success why and the action plan for remaining items
via IRC on the [#openmrs|IRC:Home] channel on freenode.
Use this channel for ALL debugging and random questions having to do with the sprint. Please avoid direct messaging to personal contacts. If you have a question, someone else most likely does too, and our geographically distributed community benefitsfrom public group discussion.

IT'S time for our must-read Sunday blog on this new-look Angler's Mail website. Every Sunday we welcome coarse fishing all-rounder Colin Mitchell.
For many years Colin was a senior Angler's Mail magazine staff man and he has enjoyed a long, interesting journalism career. He understands match fishing, pleasure fishing, carp fishing – the lot.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers!
Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
THERE'S really no excuse for it – and it has to stop. What am I on about? The horrific practice of so-called anglers failing to unhook properly.
Most anglers like to catch good specimens of every species. I also like my fish to be nice looking.
Sometimes size doesn't matter but looks do and there is no reason why we should be catching fish with disfigured mouths.
I've had two fish recently that almost made my stomach churn. In fact I had to think twice about touching one of them it looked so much like something from a sci-fi film.
I'm not going to name the fisheries involved with the pair of fish mentioned above as that would be unfair on both venues.
Both waters DO have bailiffs who care and rules that SHOULD protect their fish. But some anglers are quite simply their own worst enemies.
Fish No.1 was a tench that should have had nice rubber lips. It didn't. In fact it barely had one side of its mouth in place.
I believe it was because of stupid anglers using braid hook lengths that really aren't necessary on this water. The bailiff who saw the fish reckons it was down to short hook lengths on method feeder rigs.
Fish No.2 was a carp, not a big one but a fish that had lovely colours. It's mouth was ripped and I'd bet it was through someone using a large sea hook with a great big rough barb.
No surprise despite this fishery having a barbless-only policy. It probably shouldn't have been a shock when I later landed another carp with a big barbed hook in its mouth that was trailing sea line.
Both captures made me sick to think that there are still anglers out there willing to give the decent fisherman a bad name.
There really is no need to use monster hooks with wicked barbs. Those days are long gone.
When I do feel the need to use a barbed hook nowadays – on venues where they are allowed – I always opt for the smallest, neatest micro barb available. And it's usually because I am casting to distance with a hook-mounted bait like maggot or worms.
Believe me, those micro barbs are very, very effective. I am living proof having sheepishly visited two doctors in recent years to have size 14s removed from fingers!
Even if you are fishing with barbless hooks it pays to use a disgorger or forceps for unhooking. Barbless can go in at strange angles and make unhooking difficult – and that in itself should tell you that they are effective for landing fish.
Like many anglers, years ago I used to believe that barbless hooks were useless, that they led to lots of lost fish. They don't!
Fish are lost because of bad angling or smart fishing knowing how to ditch a hook – chub are the smart guys here, always knowing which branch to ditch a hook into.
And anyway, I would rather lose a fish off the hook on the way in than cause damage to a perfectly formed specimen.
The anti-angling brigade just love anything that can bring down or put a massive dent in our sport. So don't give them potential ammunition.
Fish don't feel pain. Fact. Fish don't need to be mutilated, even by accident. Fact.
We protect fish and the environment. Let's make sure it stays that way by employing a little commonsense on the hook front.

Computers for Young Adults
Why not install computers in the Young Adult Room? They can get pretty noisy in the Reference Room.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. The current arrangement of the public computers is in part so that the librarians can offer instruction and/or supervision to any patrons using them. Segregating some users would diminish the ability to do that. Also the electricity and Ethernet connections aren't available in the YA Room, but upgrades of the infrastructure nature are certainly on the wish list at the library!
If distractions in the Reference Room are affecting your ability to use the library peacefully, two things come to mind:
Please let staff know while excessive noise is happening so that it can be addressed while it is occurring. Also, laptops are available to be borrowed within the library and can be taken to the 2nd floor which is designated for individual silent study only.
Deb Fasulo
Assistant Library Director

Soda: Why I Love Sprecher Root Beer
Please forgive me, for a moment, a Tim Ferriss–style name drop.
A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with Jason Kottke, founder of Kottke.org, one of the longest running sites on the internet (14.3238 years, to be exact)—he's sort of like the Cal Ripken Jr. of the Internet and a proud producer of "artisanal web links." We were talking about my column and our shared penchant for sugary, carbonated beverages. He mentioned Sprecher Root Beer, from Wisconsin, as one of his favorites.
Under normal circumstances, when someone says to me, "Well, you have to try..." the words start sounding like Charlie Brown's teacher: "Wah WAH wah wah WAH wah WAAH." You just get too many. But he vouched with conviction.
That certainly made me curious. Sprecher's didn't place too highly in a Serious Eats taste test of regional root beers. Did his Wisconsin upbringing bias his taste for a hometown favorite? Maybe Sprecher is the Dan O'Brien of root beer, anxiously awaiting the next taste test to win gold. Needless to say, I was intrigued.
Sprecher is a fascinating soda; just from its appearance, I could tell it was different. Their label makes it look somewhat like a medieval grog, the kind of beverage they might sell you at Medieval Times. The bottle is thick and stout, with an entire pint of root beer inside. Many glass-bottled sodas only have 12 oz of liquid inside, so Sprecher's are 33% larger than, say, Boylan's.
It's creamy and sweet, with a foamy head as opposed to a bubbly one. There are hints of vanilla and honey, and it has a surprisingly smooth aftertaste, not a harsh acidic one like Barq's can have, or the tin-foil-esque bite that some do. (Sprecher is, as a note, made with sugar). If poured over ice or into a glass, it can lose a little of its carbonation, and taste a bit flat. But other than that, it's got my seal of approval.
I remember Sprecher's from participating in the Serious Eats taste test—one in which we judged by certain criteria: sarsparilla flavor, sweetness, and carbonation. By those criteria, Sprecher doesn't quite cut it. It's mild in its sasparilla flavor and leans towards the honey and vanilla—making for an extremely smooth and interesting soda, but not necessarily one that you might categorize as herbal or spicy. In the bottle, its foamy and light carbonation in the bottle held through to the end; over ice, however, that dissipates quickly.
So its honey-vanilla flavors may not have made it the root beer we were looking for in that taste test—but that's only to say it doesn't fall within those paramaters. And maybe it doesn't fit the qualities that many people think of in a good root beer. But for now, I'll just state that Sprecher Root Beer is a damned good beverage.

How to make android app? This will certainly come to your mind, if you have boiling business idea or you are running a business. Android is the operating system that brought in revolution in the world of Smartphone and mobile application. Through Android, Google targets to emerge in the world of low cost smart phones. Have you ever thought of developing an Android App? As per the Android Application Developers, developing an android app is an easy task. Before getting into the different phrases of developing android app, it is essential to gain knowledge about android app.
Get a Project Quote : http://www.mobileapptelligence.com/enquiry.html
What is Android App?
Android App is a software application, which is developed operate and perform on Google's android platform. Android application could be easily available in different platforms like Google Play store, Amazon App stores and various sites specific to Android Apps. These Android apps are compatible with smartphone, tablets and Google TV, operating on Android Platform.
Development of Android Application
An App developer has the capability of developing mobile application on android, iOS and windows OS. Here we would concentrate on the development of a mobile application for the Google's android operating system. At present there is an increase in the demand for the low-cost Smart phones. Along with the rising demand of the smart phones, the demand for the mobile application for these phones has also increased. Let's go through the whole process of development of an application on the most used mobile platform called Android OS.
Step 1 – Designing the features of the Android Application (For example, an android game development is considered here)
The designing of the android app consists of following five steps. These steps are
Splash- This is the first screen that the user will be able to view that would comprise of the logo of the android application, the version of android app and any kind of music depending on the requirement.
Menu- The menu screen of the android application would provide the user with the option like playing the game, viewing the current score, viewing the previous score and instruction regarding the operation of the android application.
Play- The user would be taken to this screen when he/she chooses the option of play from the menu screen. The user can start playing the mobile application from the play option.
Score- This screen of the android apps would display the highest score by the current user, the score of the previous user and the last option would be challenging the current user to improve the score by playing the android game for one more time.
Help- The option in the android application development provide the user with the instruction in regards to playing of the game. The option would also enable the user to refer to different kinds of query that he has in regards to playing of the android application.
Step 2 – Determining the Android App activity requirement
The requirement for each activity has to be determined. The splash activity acts as the default activity used while launching the Android Application. The menu activity comprises of different button each corresponding to a particular feature of the application. The play activity is involved in drawing onscreen drawing of stuff, handle the various user inputs, and keep the score following the game dynamics as per the android application developer. Score activity is concerned with loading of score screen to the android application. Help activity is involved in the display of help text instead of displaying the score.
Step 3 – Implementation of functionality of the application
This involves the controlling of application state, saving the settings and launching of a specific activity. These activities are achieved by the Android Application Development through the below mentioned steps:
Using the Android Application context – The application context is used for accessing the settings and the resources that forms a part of multiple activity instances.
Retrieving of Android Application Resource- The method of retrieving a resource in the android application development would involve the usage of the unique resource identifier.
Accessing the Android Application preference – Shared application preference could be retrieved by implementing the "get shared preference" method of the android application context.
Accessing the functionality of other applications- The application context could be used for many other activities for android application development. These includes launching of activity instances, retrieval of assets package of the android application, request for system level service provider, management of private application files, inspection and enforcement of application permissions
Working with the Android Activity- This would involve the implementation of android activity for every screen of android application.
Launching of Android Application activity- Launching of the Android Application Development could be conducted through designating launch activity within the manifest file, launching through the activity context and launching of the child activity from the parent activity.
Management of the activity state- Android application manages their own state, which includes the memory, resource and data. This means that the activity of the android application which is not in use would face automatic shut down.
Implementation of activity callback- Activity call back methods like on create, setting layout with set content view, on resume, on pause, stop audio, video or animation and on destroy.
Android Application Development & android game development could take place with the implementation of three components namely context, intent and activity.

from a lecture by Dr. Asher at Cambridge University, England
What Is TPR?
Dear Colleague:
With my pioneer research in the past 50 years, we learned a lot about acquiring languages by observing infants. For example, infants do not start life speaking their native language. For months, they are silent except for babbling, but during this silent period they carry on conversations with caretakers.
It works like this: The caretakers utter a direction and the infant responds with a physical action. For example, "Smile for grandpa." "Don't spit up on your bib." "Take my hand when we cross the street." "Pick up your toy and put it on your bed." I call these unique transactions, language-body conversations.
Language-body conversations
As I have demonstrated in published experiments with children and adults learning Spanish, French, German, Russian and Japanese: Something exciting happens when teachers use language-body conversations in the classroom. Students of all ages including adults, suddenly come to life.
They get excited because they actually understand everything the instructor is saying. As I like to tell instructors around the world, "If you can't convince students in five minutes that they can actually learn English, Spanish, Arabic or Chinese, you will not convince them even if they stay in your class for a year."
The most powerful tool
in your linguistic tool box
Language-body conversations, the basis of TPR, is the most powerful tool in your box of linguistic tools. It will not solve all problems, but it will prepare your students for a successful transition to speaking, reading and writing. I call this stress-free tool, the Total Physical Response, known worldwide as TPR. It has stood "the test of time" for over 50 years in thousands of language classrooms worldwide.
Recently, an instructor in Mongolia told me, "With TPR, my students are internalizing English so fast, I had difficulty keeping up with them. I am embarrassed to tell you that I was jealous of their achievements and wanted to experience the same success in learning Mongolian...""
I recommend you follow up with...
My book, Learning Another Language Through Actions, now in the 7th edition and Ramiro Garcia's book, Instructor's Notebook: How to apply TPR for best results. If your budget allows, order the TPR Super Starter Kit, which has the books I recommend and much, much more!

Victory for the Future of the Amazon
- Date: January 11, 2011
Watch Dr. Meg Symington, WWF's Amazon managing director talk about the recent success.
In October 2010, WWF and several of our partners celebrated a major victory for the Amazon with the endorsement of a regional plan at the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Japan. Moving forward, the governments of the region will further develop this pan-Amazon conservation strategy – building on the existing network of national protected areas – with the support of WWF and others.
WWF applauds this landmark decision because it reaffirms a commitment to protect the region's interconnected natural systems, recognizes the value of the work already being done at the national and local levels, and strengthens regional approaches to addressing – and preparing for – climate change.
Why is the regional plan so important?
Deforestation from unsustainable agriculture and poorly planned infrastructure projects drives a loss of species and natural resources. A conservation approach that stops at national borders does not effectively address the destruction of rivers that are the source of one-fifth of all free-flowing freshwater on Earth, or the logging of forests that play a critical role in maintaining regional and global climate. The new regional plan will work to protect the living Amazon.

WWF's contribution to regional plan
Like many of WWF's biggest wins, this agreement is the result of careful behind-the-scenes negotiations. For more than three years, WWF and partners have convened a series of technical workshops for Amazon government agency staff, protected area managers and others directly responsible for protecting biodiversity within the region. This recent effort grew directly out of WWF's 40-plus years of experience in the field and high-level government support enforced by local work on the ground. WWF and its partners will continue supporting Amazon national governments with technical and management expertise, a landscape-wide vision, commitment to local communities, and partnerships at every level to keep the Amazon's future healthy for us all.

Passed by Juilliard and the Alice Tully Hall the other night. Diller Scofidio + Renfro's addition and outdoor seating area was very nice. It was chilly and windy the day I passed by so I didn't take advantage of the outdoor space. I'm sure the outdoor seating area is much more enjoyable during the day. Thumbs up for public spaces!
