Lossless Iron Maiden - The Book Of Souls (2015) FLAC (image + .cue) music download
Heavy Metal
Artist: Iron Maiden | Album: The Book Of Souls | Released: 2015 | Label: Parlophone | Catalog # 0825646089239 | Genre: Heavy Metal | Country: UK | Duration: 01:32:23
To say that Iron Maiden's Book of Souls was ardently anticipated would be a vast understatement. Though it was (mostly) finished in 2014, vocalist Bruce Dickinson's cancer diagnosis and treatment delayed its release until he was medically cleared. While 2006's A Matter Of Life And Death and 2010's The Final Frontier showcased longer songs, Book of Souls is epic by comparison. Their first double album, it's 92 minutes long, and three of its 11 tracks are over ten minutes. Steve Harris contributed one solo composition, and co-wrote six tracks with various bandmates. Dickinson -- for the first time since Powerslave -- wrote two solo tunes, the album's bookends, and collaborated on two more. The music is cleanly divided between the two discs. The first is tight; it offers a bit of everything that makes Iron Maiden...well, Iron Maiden. It is seemingly self-contained. Dickinson's "If Eternity Should Fail" is an impressive showcase for his voice. Its dark intro and atmospherics are eventually transformed into one of the heaviest tunes Maiden's ever recorded, but he shines above the sonic mass. "Speed of Light" is a burner.

The heat is on How weather, soccer impacts downtown business climate
While it's hard to say just how the brutal heatwave is affecting downtown businesses, it seems as though the weather is at least prompting people to adjust when they shop.
"I think everyone you ask will have their own perspective on the heat and how it affects their individual business," said Gaylord Poling of Venture Lititz. "I am not finding a decrease in business, but a skewed pattern as to when individuals shop. I see the sidewalks busy at 10 a.m. and then again from 3 to 5 p.m. I have personally experienced a big increase in business from 5 to 7 p.m., and part of this could be weather related. It appears that people are trying to avoid the heat of the day."
Meanwhile, business at the Lititz Springs Pool is excellent this year, and that is definitely weather-related, according to pool manager Andy Amway, who says attendance exceeds 500 a day during the weekends.
Regardless of the overall impact of the discomfort in the air, business should be booming this weekend, when the Lititz Summer Showcase soccer tournament comes to town, and with it an estimated 10,000 visitors to the area.
Taylor Formica, a front desk employee at the Holiday Inn Express in Lititz, said they are completely sold out of rooms. She said 45 of their rooms are dedicated to soccer teams.
"That's half of our hotel," she said, adding that they would be accommodating more if it weren't for a few wedding parties that had booked rooms.
"Certain businesses always benefit from events," Poling added, in regard to the soccer tournament. "I suspect that restaurants will be kept quite busy throughout the weekend. I would say that the major benefit from a weekend of this type is exposure. Hopefully individuals will like what they see and make a return visit to frequent the various retailers and restaurants."
Look for photos and coverage of the big soccer tournament in next week's Record Express.

On the other hand, the SoftMaker product is a strong contender
Is there a downside to choosing it over MS Office?
Quote from: cyberdiva on June 16, 2010, 03:05 PMIs there a downside to choosing it over MS Office?..., no Access (yet -- they're working on that one).
When ("if"?) it comes, I am expecting SoftMaker's version to be absolutely fantastic, considering how many years they have been "working on that one"...
That said, if you're an MS Office 2007 user, will you be upgrading to the 2010 (twenty-ten!) version? And if so, which features are compelling enough to do so?
The sad part though is that despite what zridling said in the beginning, we're still talking about OpenOffice instead of the likes of Zoho or Google Docs.... In the end, OpenOffice has made it's mark. The question remains when the Fat Office suite will sing it's way to a sexier Fox.
Perhaps it depends on the industry on whether the need for heavy desktop suites will thrive, no doubt for spreadsheet use at the least. But since most business "documents" (I use that term very loosely) are simple communications, i.e., simple shared documents, you'll likely see the likes of Google Docs, Zoho, and Office Live rise as mobile/tablet computing becomes more prevalent
The best approach for that would be to sell a turnkey hardware/software combo

2012 NBA Mock Draft: Full First-Round Predictions and AnalysisJune 26, 2012
2012 NBA Mock Draft: Full First-Round Predictions and Analysis
In three days, the NBA draft will unfold and all the speculation on who's going where will finally be put to rest.
This year's draft class is filled with potential superstars, from the likes of Anthony Davis and his Kentucky teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, to the famed Austin Rivers of Duke.
Each team will go into the draft looking to fulfill a certain hole in their roster or simply to obtain the next basketball prodigy.
With a new season comes new players and renewed hope of capturing the elusive NBA championship.
Every team will believe they have what it takes heading into next year, and a smart first round draft pick will go a long way to making that dream a reality.
Here is a full first round prediction and analysis of what you can expect to see on Thursday.
No. 30 Golden State Warriors
The last pick of the first round goes to the Golden State Warriors, who will likely seek the services of Washington point guard, Tony Wroten.
At the age of 19, he is young, fit, versatile, and presents real options for the struggling Warriors.
With the injury ridden Andrew Bogut and Stephen Curry possibly needing some time on the sideline next season, Wroten is an ideal acquisition.
No. 29 Chicago Bulls
The 6'7", 230 pound, Draymond Green is likely to be the first player snapped up by the Bulls.
With Derick Rose missing a large portion of next season through injury and Luol Deng making a possible move away from the Chicago, Green presents a viable pick for coach Tom Thibodeau.
In his time at Michigan State, Green captained the Spartans and put up some remarkable numbers.
He averaged 16.2 points and 10.6 rebounds a game.
Not too shabby.
No. 28 Oklahoma City Thunder
Andrew Nicholson looks like he's going to be the man for title contender, OKC.
Nicholson is a big guy at 6'9", 240 lbs, but has shown he is still a solid shooter.
He had a FG percentage of 57.1 and scored an average of 18.5 points a game in his senior season with St. Bonaventure.
If the Thunder are to go one step further next year and win the NBA Finals, signing a proven shooter like Nicholson is a must.
No. 27 Miami Heat
Kentucky's Marquis Teague would be an ideal first round steal for the heat.
Adding another point guard to the mix to give Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole some competition would be greatly beneficial to the newly crowned NBA champs.
A youngster at 19 years old, Teague still has plenty of time to develop, and in a few years we will likely be seeing a lot more of this man.
No. 26 Indiana Pacers
The Pacers will look to get Kansas guard, Tyshawn Taylor, if he is still available this late in the draft.
He is experienced in the college game playing all four years with the Jayhawks, and is a good size at 6'3" and 185 lbs.
He averaged 16.6 points a game for Kansas on their way to the final loss against Kentucky, and has shown his willingness to get up and down the court.
I see him making the transition to point guard in the NBA, as he is beginning to blossom into more of a playmaker.
No. 25 Memphis Grizzlies
Small forward Royce White of Iowa state could be on his way to Memphis.
With trade rumors popping up all over the place for current starter Rudy Gay, coach Lionel Hollins may want to solidify the position with his first round draft pick.
White made himself available for the draft after his Sophomore season where he put up big numbers for the Cardinal.
At 6'8", 261 lbs, White has the physicality to compete with the best in the NBA.
No. 24 Cleveland Cavaliers
Vanderbilt's Jeffery Taylor takes the No. 24 slot, and will likely be on his way to Cleveland.
The next LeBron?
Probably not, but he's a solid player nonetheless.
Born and raised in Sweden, Taylor had no trouble making the transition to college basketball in America and looks like he has all the makings of a great NBA player as well.
Only time will tell.
For the Cavs, they'll appreciate any help they can get.
No. 23 Atlanta Hawks
Whether or not Fab Melo will be available this late in the draft is left to be seen.
At 7' this guy is a monster.
The Atlanta Hawks are in serious need of a gargantuan like this.
He will (as always) provide plenty of rebounds and blocks, and chip in with some points on the offensive side of things.
Melo can wish his academic problems farewell as he signs his first juicy professional contract.
No. 22 Boston Celtics
The Celtics have been blessed with the No. 22 and No. 21 slots in the first round of this year's draft.
Ray Allen's time with the Celtics is reportedly coming to an end, and they will hope to acquire Vandy's, John Jenkins as a suitable replacement.
In the 2011-12 season, Jenkins averaged 19.9 points per game and knocked down an impressive 47.4 percent of his field goals.
Adding some quality youth to the aging Celtics roster is a must to help bolster their playoff credentials.
No. 21 Boston Celtics
Another Vanderbilt man, Festus Ezeli (originally from Nigeria) will likely be snapped up at No. 21 in the draft.
At 6'11", 264 lbs, Ezeli is an athletic Center who was impressive throughout his college hoops career.
If the Celtics pass up the opportunity to get Melo, we should see Ezeli's unbelievable 7'5" wingspan cause some real problems for whoever the Celtics come up against.
No. 20 Denver Nuggets
Small forward Moe Harkless out of St. John's could be on his way to Denver this year in the No. 20 spot.
He has the ability to play either forward position providing versatility to a Nuggets team lacking in depth.
A fairly consistent shooter and renowned for the energy he brings, Harkless has all the attributes to have a very successful rookie season.
No. 19 Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic will likely just try to land the best player they can in the first round of the draft.
A quality point guard is what they will crave most, but in all probability the best ones will be long gone by this stage.
Forward Terrence Jones of Kentucky had a huge sophomore year and Orlando would love to develop him further.
At 20 years old, expect to hear big things from Jones.
No. 18 Minnesota Timberwolves
Shooting guard Terrence Ross from UW will probably take the No. 18 spot in the draft.
At 6'6", 195 lbs, his physical attributes as well as his sound defensive abilities have upped his stock vastly.
The Timberwolves will look to capitalize on Ross, who averaged 16.4 points a game, and hope that he isn't picked up earlier than expected.
No. 17 Dallas Mavericks
Arnett Moultrie from Mississippi State would provide the Dallas Mavericks with an eventual replacement for Dirk Nowitzki.
His size and physicality, paired with his ability to knock down buckets (15.8 PPG) would prove a coup for any NBA team.
If the Mavericks can teach Moultrie to limit his time on the perimeter, they could have themselves a future superstar.
No. 16 Houston Rockets
Many have predicted Dion Waiters to go as early as No. 7 in the draft, but I believe that his size and inconsistent shooting will knock him down to No. 16
At 6'4" Waiters is small for a shooting guard, but showed in his time with Syracuse that size isn't everything.
At 21 years old, he still has time to develop physically, so don't be surprised to see him make a big impact a few years down the road.
No. 15 Philadelphia 76ers
I expect the 76ers to use their first round draft pick to acquire North Carolina power forward John Henson.
Again, many people expected him to go higher in the first round, but his lanky build detracts from his aggressive style of play.
He is a consistent player both offensively and defensively, an all-action sort of guy.
He can be blocking a shot one moment and sprinting up the court to dunk it the next.
In a few years, if he can bulk up a bit, Henson and his 7'5" wingspan will be a formidable weapon for the 76ers.
No. 14 Houston Rockets
The No. 14 slot will likely go to the coveted Jared Sullinger of Ohio State.
Sullinger has a great knowledge of the game, and his 6'9", 268-lb frame makes him an ideal pickup for the Rockets.
His ability to rebound the ball (9.2 per game) and low center of gravity should see him have a fruitful rookie season in the NBA.
He is also deadly on the offensive side of things, scoring an incredible 17.5 PPG in his last season with the Buckeyes.
No. 13 Phoenix Suns
Kendall Marshall of North Carolina presents Phoenix with a problem.
While he may be one of the best passers and most technical players in all of college basketball, his physical attributes leave a bit to be desired.
The Suns will likely give him the benefit of the doubt because he is a young man with plenty of room for maturation and improvement.
No. 12 Milwaukee Bucks
Center Meyers Leonard out of Illinois would add depth and a big presence to the Milwaukee Bucks squad.
After losing center Andrew Bogut to the Warriors, Leonard could be the perfect replacement.
Coming in at a mere 7'1", Leonard dominates the boards and is surprisingly agile for such a behemoth of a man.
His ability to rebound the ball and block shots makes him one of the most feared players in college basketball.
Coming into the NBA should be a breeze for Leonard.
No. 11 Portland Trail Blazers
Tyler Zeller out of North Carolina is another center who could make a big impact coming into his rookie season.
For a player of his size (7'), Zeller is a mobile guy who can knock down buckets from most areas of the floor.
His average of 9.6 rebounds per game is striking and should see him do quite well.
No. 10 New Orleans Hornets
The top 10 of the first round should be exciting.
I see the Hornets picking up shooting guard Austin Rivers in this slot because of his seeming ease on the ball.
Only 19 years old, Rivers still has much to learn but has already shown some clutch moments for Duke.
His arrogance will serve him well in the NBA, if he can learn to control when and where to apply it.
Good luck to him.
No. 9 Detroit Pistons
Andre Drummond seems like a suitable option here.
The 7" center from UConn is explosive and dominant on rebounds and blocked shots.
With Ben Wallace aging and Greg Monroe being the Pistons only other center, Drummond is the most likely first round pick.
For an 18-year-old, he is physically imposing and presents many well developed attributes.
He must, however, find the consistency and hunger necessary for him to thrive in the NBA.
No. 8 Toronto Raptors
No, not Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lamb.
The 6'5" shooting guard also out of UConn can get the Raptors points, simple as that.
In 2011-12 he averaged 17.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
While he isn't renowned for his work on the defensive side of things, his 7' wingspan makes him a serious threat to anyone in his zone.
No. 7 Golden State Warriors
Power forward Perry Jones III out of Baylor has had his draft stock rise significantly in the past couple of weeks.
This guy has it all: good shooter, explosive leap, and an extremely athletic build.
He will provide the Warriors with another more than capable option at forward instead of Dorell Wright and Brandon Rush.
No. 6 Portland Trail Blazers
Damian Lillard out of Weber State made a big name for himself during his junior season.
He averaged 24.5 points per game.
Incredible statistic.
The point guard can drop buckets, rarely turns the ball over and has a well-rounded understanding of the game.
With age, Lillard should begin to increase play-making abilities and turn into the next Rajon Rondo.
No. 5 Sacramento Kings
The Kings will likely swoop on the highly coveted Harrison Barnes out of North Carolina.
The small forward can score from practically anywhere on the court, and showed some of the best fundamentals in college ball.
He lacks a bit in strength, but makes up for it in his aggression (he's only 20).
I look forward to seeing him help the Kings progress and make a serious run for the playoffs.
No. 4 Cleveland Cavaliers
Thomas Robinson, the power forward out of Kansas, could go from as high as No. 2 to as low No. 4 in the first round of the draft.
The Bobcats are rather set at PF, so Cleveland looks to be a better option for him.
His physicality and athletic build should see him dominate in a league where those aspects are always emphasized.
He went from scoring 7.6 PPG in 2010-11 to scoring 17.7 PPG the next year.
Hopefully his progression will continue and he will do well in 2012-13.
No. 3 Washington Wizards
Bradley Beal possesses some of the rawest talent in the entire 2012 draft class.
His shooting is quite simply amazing, and is all around well suited to compete in the NBA.
He will turn 19 the day of the draft, so he has a lot of time to grow and turn into the man we all expect him to be.
The Wizards will almost certainly pick him up in the No. 3 slot.
No. 2 Charlotte Bobcats
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, also known as MKG, should soothe some of the pain experienced by the Bobcats last year.
There is a lot of growing up to do at only 18 years old, but MKG is already a force to be reckoned with.
He was one of the best overall athletes in college hoops last year, and was instrumental in Kentucky's run to the National Championship.
His superior physicality and aggression separate him from most other first-rounders.
No.1 New Orleans Hornets
Do I even need to say it?
Forgoing any sort of miracle, Anthony Davis will be the No. 1 draft pick in 2012.
We all saw in the 2011-12 season with Kentucky how special of a player this guy is becoming
He is only 18 years old, and there is still plenty of room for improvement (scary thought).
With all the hype surrounding Davis and his introduction to the NBA, it will be interesting to see how he fares.

Animals / Types of Insects / Leaf Insect - The Phantom
Leaf Insect - The Phantom
Adorning the forest like ornaments of evolution, leaf insects are amazing for their incredible camouflage. Called "leaf mimics or moving leaves", these ancient insects are grouped together with stick insects as phasmids in the order Phasmida. Their name comes from the Greek term "phasma" meaning phantom; they are some of the most cryptic creatures of the rainforest, nearly impossible to tell apart from the vegetation.
If survival lies in the details, then leaf insects are masters. Their green bodies take the shape of old leaves, complete with vein patterns, a midrib and even fungus splotches. Some newborn leaf insects are reddish to better hide among the forest floor leaf litter until they start feeding on plants and eventually turn green. Phasmids tend to stay motionless to avoid detection by reptiles, birds and other predators seeking a fleshy snack.
Male leaf insects are usually smaller and more slender than the females. This allows them to fly and search for more mating partners, since the females tend to stay higher up in trees. Mostly found in tropical forests, these intriguing insects inhabit highland and lowland habitats and some species reproduce without mating.
Most of the over 3000 species of phasmids are stick insects, with only a few dozen leaf insect species. In some countries, like Malaysia, collectors capture and make decorative displays of these colorful insects to sell to tourists, along with butterfly and beetle collections. It is really not known if the tourist trade threatens any leaf insect species.
If you're ever in the jungle, take a flashlight and hit the trails at night to catch a glimpse of these fantastic phasmids and marvel at their evolutionary designs.

Shelby Brown "The Voice" Audition Video: "Stars" Singer, 16, Scores Last Four-Chair Turn — WATCH HERE!
Shelby Brown scored the final four-chair turn on Tuesday's "The Voice," the last episode of blind auditions for season 9. Watch below!
The 16-year-old had the coaches perked up as soon as she began singing Grace Potter's "Stars," and once she hit the chorus, all four hit their buzzers almost simultaneously. At the end, she received a standing ovation, leading her to burst into tears. And Pharrell even stood up to applaud for a second time when he learned her age.
"That's what being 16 years old, being driven and dreamin' super hard gets you," he told Brown. "It gets you everybody in here standing up and clapping for you." He went on to say, "You deserve four chairs to turn around, and finding out that you're 16 years old, it makes us feel even better, because we want people back home to know they have an opportunity to come on this show and win."
Gwen Stefani went on to marvel at the "experience" with which Brown sings given that she's "only been alive for 16 years." "That's really mind-blowing to me," she admitted. Meanwhile, an enthusiastic Adam Levine told Brown, "The brilliant moments were so brilliant, I have to be part of it. I have one spot left on my team — one spot! And I couldn't be more sure the spot on my team was made for you, Shelby. I know it!"
Upon hearing that Brown is traditionally a country singer, he tried to lock her up, prompting Levine to quip, "Look away from the Blake!" Still, Shelton told the contestant, "All you gotta do is come on my team and let's make you a country star!" But in the end, Brown chose to work with Levine, completing his team.

Unanswered: Access displaying SQL Table Names
So I have a sql database with an Access 2000 front-end user interface. I'm using ODBC to connect to the SQL database and process all the necessary processes and doing all the other cool crap.

I think you can do it using a pass through query....

I like that method much better than using a pass-through query to hit the sysobjects table. It makes everything just a little cleaner plus gives me the abiltiy to add some additional functionality instead of adding additional queries
also works to return user table's name (in sql or with pass-through)
select name
from sysobjects
where type = 'U'

Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang Travel Blog› entry 190 of 206 › view all entries
I wasn't sure today how or when I was going to leave Luang Prabang to head south again to Si Phan Don so this morning before check out I needed to make sure what time and how much buses were. After doing several laps of the town I had warded off any further chance of disorientation, had a fabulous mint choclate milkshake at L'Etranger bookshop and cafe, booked my onward bus tickets for tomorrow, snapped some 'Wats' (temples) and had a mediocre breakfast at Cafe des Artes.
I headed back to the hotel to change with the
intention of doing all my sight-seeing that afternoon but bumped into Laura sat
outside in the garden and went to join her.
Here we stopped at the Lao Lao Garden, a
beautifully lit garden restaurant with the fairy lights and dark wooden square
tables and benches. We were attracted mainly by the Lao-style barbecue, and the
offer of 2 for 1 Lao cocktails despite the introductory prices of the brand new
opening 'The House' bar and restaurant down the road.
First a waiter arrived to
remove a square tile from the centre of our table - the 'stealth' table as it
was now dubbed. Then a giant bucket of hot coals was lowered into it, followed
by a metal convex hot plate with a moat rim and a bucket of hot watery soup. We
debated whether we were supposed to drink this as an appetiser as many Asian
soups are of the same bland, consistency but I'm glad we didn't drink it all...
When the waiter returned with a plate of raw buffalo, pork and chicken meat,
and basket of green salad, vegetables, eggs and glass noodles, he started first
with some slices of fat which he slid across the convex area of the hot plate
before laying bits of meat around the bowl. He then ladled the soup into the
moat rim of the hot plate and put the noodles and vegetables in the hot soup to
soften. He then let us get on with it! We had dipping bowls of chilli and raw
garlic, and satay sauce, Laura had a garden vegetable pasta which was
absolutely heaven, and it was 2 for 1 on Lao cocktails (with Lao wine) and
every one was delicious. With such great company, and such great food and
drink, we had a really lovely 'farewell' dinner before a beer and spliff at the
hotel before bed.

Oh my gosh, what a story I have to tell you! Who knew that applique and cooking go together? Here at Bunny Hill they really do…especially on a summer day! (I know, it's a little late for summer, but remember I live in California!)
It was one of those really hot
and my new pink and I was ready to go!
The sun was shining, not a drop of rain in sight!
But then I remembered!
Holly over at Lakehouse http://www.hollyholderman.typepad.com/ is having a blog-able feast and I have to make a dessert! How could I forget? Maybe all those little applique blocks I've been working on are giving me freezer paper brain!
I need a break because I've been a little lately!
So cooking might be good for me!
So, I found some and cracked a few and now…
I'm happy as a ! What you say? You can't see the little pictures well enough? You'll have to wait until I'm done cooking, cleaning, and resting up from cooking! Tee Hee!
3 pounds ripe fresh peaches
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsifted all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter softened
1 large egg
Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole. Peel and slice fresh peaches; place in greased casserole. Stir in lemon juice.
In 1 quart saucepan, stir together brown sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add water, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over peaches in casserole.
Set aside 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. To prepare topping, in medium-size bowl, stir together remaining granulated sugar, the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in butter and egg until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls onto peach mixture (topping will spread as it bakes). Sprinkle with reserved 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
Bake cobbler 40 to 45 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling bubbles. Cool slightly on wire rack. Sprinkle with additional granulated sugar, if desired. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Ta Da! Get out the ice cream and let's eat! (:

NEW IBERIA, La (KLFY) – The Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating an overnight homicide that left one person dead.
It happened late last night at the intersection of S. Hopkins St. and Field St.
Deputies say they responded to a call around 10 p.m. Tuesday of gunshots being fired, they arrived to find 33-year-old Alonzoe Roberts-Neal dead at the scene.
"It's a sad situation," said longtime resident, Michael Bell. "We don't want to see nobody die, nobody."
West end residents are startled by the city's most recent shooting.
"It hurts, it hurts for one reason: black on black crime," said Bell.
The sheriff's office says they received at least two calls before arriving on the scene to find Roberts-Neal lying on the ground with gunshot wounds.
Many nearby residents didn't want to go on camera for fear of retaliation, but say this particular portion of Hopkins St. is not usually known for violence.
"Those killing, that's not the people that live in the community," said Bell. "It's isolated incidents that give this community a bad name."
Bell says he's been living on the west end for about 25 years and says the uptick in violence across the city has a lot to do with a lack of policing.
"We need city policing," said Bell.
Bell says he feels the sheriff's office has too much on its plate to effectively protect the area.
"You can't have ten patrol cars of the parish to control a city of this size, and not only that, you have to get to know the people in the community not just the few lil thugs that hang around," said Bell.
Bell says he would just like to see more police, ministers, and city officials take to the streets.
"It's sad that we can't get our councilmen to work on positive things in our community, like right now with what happened they should be out here and trying to find out a way that we can solve this problem," said Bell.
A suspect has not yet been identified in the case.
The homicide remains under investigation.
If you have any information, call the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office.

Deliberately appealing to older audiences, this undemanding comedy-drama comes with a hint of social relevance in its true story about an outcast who takes on the system in a leafy corner of London. While the script is too thin to make much of the premise, the film at least benefits from the likeable presence of Diane Keaton and Brendan Gleeson in the lead roles, plus a lively supporting cast.
Keaton plays Emily, an American widow living in the posh village on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Her late husband left her with a lot of debt, which her grown son Philip (James Norton) is helping her sort through. And her neighbour Fiona (Lesley Manville) is trying to set her up with an accountant (Jason Watkins) who has romantic inclinations. But Emily is much more intrigued by the homeless Irishman Donald (Gleeson) living in the lushly overgrown grounds of an abandoned hospital. And when she realises that developers want to build a glassy block of expensive flats there, she kicks into action with the help of a quirky young friend (Hugh Skinner).
Director Joel Hopkins keeps everything picturesque and twinkly as the story gently tips into a courtroom drama with an accompanying romance. Despite its basis in fact, there's little about this film that's remotely believable, not that it will matter to the core audience in search of some warm escapism. They'll enjoy the squeaky clean story and the stylised version of an England furnished with impeccably matching antiques and huge bouquets of flowers. And the cast makes it watchable. Keaton does her usual kooky thing, smart but clumsy, with perfect timing in her interaction with everyone around her. There may not be much chemistry with Gleeson, but he gives the tetchy Donald plenty of scruffy charm.

Queen Victoria was one of the United Kingdom's most loved monarchs. She ruled over her country with dignity and grace though she wasn't a lady to be toyed with. After the death of her beloved husband, Albert, the queen found herself mourning her loss for the rest of her life - famously she wore black for her remaining years. She took solace in her children and continued to be a fine ruler of the country.
After the loss of Albert, few people penetrated the queen's frosty persona, most famously she developed a great friendship with a Scottish servant called John Brown and they remained good friends - some even say lovers - until his death. Once again alone, the queen was only to develop one other significant friendship outside of her close circle.
As the queen was celebrating her Golden Jubilee, she found herself surrounded by kings and queens from around the world but the one person that she genuinely struck up a friendship with was a Muslim waiter called Abul. Though it was entirely frowned upon for the royals to associate with lowly servants, Victoria was never one to follow those rules.

In the late 80s, Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barratt) was the most famous police detective on television, but fast-forward to the present day and he's balding, ungroomed and trying to convince himself that he is exactly where he needs to be in life with desperate daily positive affirmations. Fate does have one more adventure in store for the actor, however. A suspected serial killer named Paul Melly (Russell Tovey) has escaped from a secure unit at Darkmoor Hospital and is now taunting Isle of Man police that more will die unless he can speak to Detective Mindhorn. The police are well aware that Mindhorn is just a TV character, but they try their luck and enlist the help of the actor who plays him nonetheless. Unfortunately, Thorncroft turns out to be much less efficient than his onscreen persona, as much as he'd like to believe otherwise.

It's been one year since Emily's husband Charles passed away, but she has very mixed feelings towards his memory. There are good things in her life too; a loving grown-up son named Philip and a lovely home in Hampstead Heath, but her life is far more complicated than that. After one date with a fiddle-player named James Smythe, she struggles to shake him off. She'd love to find love again but she's desperate not to settle for anyone. One day though, she espies a bearded old man washing in the ponds across from her house. Curiosity gets the better of her and she follows him home to a quaint but run-down old shack in the middle of the woods. Charmed by his wit and his amusingly grumpy temperament, she decides to help him save his home when he is given an eviction notice by land owners who wish to build on his property. His unshakeable pride works against his cause, but Emily refuses to give up saving the man she's falling deeply in love with.

Filmmaker Gurinder Chada (Bend It Like Beckham) draws on her own family history to explore the events surrounding the 1947 independence and partition of India. The real history is far more complex and violent than any film could adequately capture, so Chadha relies on two parallel plots that touch on varied experiences. In the end, the film is lively and enjoyable, with a strong sense of humour and some romantic surges that help the story resonate.
As Britain plans to leave India after three centuries of colonial rule, Lord Mountbatten (Hugh Bonneville) arrives in Delhi as the last viceroy, accompanied by his wife Edwina (Gillian Anderson), who takes particular interest in the process, and their daughter Pamela (Lily Travers). Unlike previous rulers, they take a real interest in the local culture, so they know how difficult it will be to avoid bloodshed between clashing Hindu, Muslim and Sikh communities. Meanwhile in their house, Hindu guard Jeet (Manish Dayal) is in love with Muslim maid Aalia (Huma Qureshi), wondering if they can to have a life together in a divided nation.
The romantic storyline is a nice counterbalance to the larger political machinations and violent cultural struggles. The way it highlights the issues is rather heavy-handed, but Dayal and Qureshi are charming enough to hold the audience's attention, and where they go isn't as obvious as it seems. Alongside them, Bonneville and Anderson sparkle with wit, stirring some comic relief into even the most intense negotiations. They also nicely play their characters as people of compassion and empathy, a nice contrast to the callous self-interested British diplomats who don't care who gets hurt in the fallout. Somewhere in between are well-meaning roles for acting icons Michael Gambon (as the chief of staff) and Simon Callow (as the man responsible for drawing the line between India and Pakistan).
Continue reading: Viceroy's House Review
'Viceroy's House' follows the life of the last Viceroy of India who was the figurehead of relinquishing British rule on the Indian subcontinent in 1947. Lord Mountbatten and his wife Lady Edwina Mountbatten were charged with overseeing India's newfound independence, wanting the nation to stay united as one. However, India was already divided by religion, with Muslim leader Muhammed Ali Jinnah wishing to establish a separate country in the form of Pakistan. The Partition of India was not a desirable option for the British rule, but as the civil unrest grew amongst the people and people began to divide themselves anyway, it became the only option for minimal damage to all nations.

The film traces his life from childhood to becoming a fixture on the swinging London art scene in the late 1960s, with lively present-day interviews narrating a fabulous collection of photographs and old footage, some of which was shot by Derek Jarman, who won Logan's 1975 Alternative Miss World.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals are garish, puerile melodramas with all the elegance and sincerity of a Super Bowl halftime show -- and his brash, brassy songs have the depth and nuance of action-movie explosions.
Director Joel Schumacher was responsible for one of the most tawdry, terribly cliché-riddled action-movie bombs in Hollywood history -- 1997's "Batman and Robin."
When this pair teamed up to bring Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera" to the big screen, it was a match made in hell.

Renesas Electronics Introduces New USB 3.0 Host Controller with 85 Percent Reduced Power Consumption
Accelerates Promotion of USB 3.0 by Releasing Low-Power Host Controller at Low Cost, a Follow-up to the Distinction of Releasing the World's First USB 3.0 Host Controller in 2009
TOKYO, Japan, July 14, 2010 -- Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the availability of its new SuperSpeed Universal Serial Bus (USB 3.0) host controller (part number µPD720200A), featuring 85 percent reduced power consumption compared to the company's existing host controller (part number µPD720200) when peripheral devices, such as mice, are not connected to the ports.
Supporting fast data transfer rates of up to 5 gigabits per second (Gbps), the µPD720200A device achieves low power consumption of 50 milliwatts (mW) with no peripheral connection to the ports, reduced by 85 percent from the company's existing USB 3.0 host controller. The new host controller also has the same foot print as the previous host controller, which makes it possible for system designers to accommodate their designs on the same board used for the previous device, the µPD720200. These advancements enable system designers to develop notebook PCs that boast longer battery life, yet maintain high data transfer rates.
USB is an interface standard used in a wide range of electronic devices including PCs, digital home appliances, and PC peripherals. Originally USB was designed as an interface for relatively low-speed computer peripherals, such as mice and keyboards. However, the need to transfer larger and larger amounts of information between PCs and portable electronic devices continued to grow rapidly. USB 3.0 has been developed to address this need by providing the world's fastest USB transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps of data, which is ten times faster than previous USB 2.0 transfer speeds, while maintaining backward compatibility with the other USB standards.
As a member of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) since 1996, Renesas Electronics (formerly NEC Electronics) has played a leading role both in defining the USB standards and in developing USB technology. In April 2000, the company (then NEC Electronics) launched the µPD720100 device, the world's first USB 2.0-compliant host controller chip and an extensive lineup of other USB devices, and has earned a reputation for delivering dedicated customer service and high-quality products.
In May 2009, Renesas Electronics introduced the industry's first USB 3.0 host controller and, just four months after its release, the company became the world's first to earn the "Certified SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0)" certification from the USB-IF, and also started mass production of the µPD720200 host controller. To secure backward compatibility with billions of USB 2.0 devices that exist in the market, Renesas Electronics has been collaborating with major manufacturers of PC peripheral devices for compatibility testing. Renesas Electronics' own device driver enables fine-grained control of USB sub-systems and full backward compatibility with existing USB 2.0 devices, including those that perform unusual operations.
The company also provides a driver solution, a USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) driver, designed specifically to enhance the performance of the company's USB 3.0 host controller.
With the company's proven technology expertise and reliability accumulated through the release of its extensive lineup of USB 2.0-compliant systems-on-chip (SoCs) as well as the steady supply of the µPD720200 device, the industry's first and only (as of July 13, 2010) certified USB 3.0 host controller commercially available, Renesas Electronics' USB 3.0 host controller has won the trust of PC manufacturers and motherboards worldwide. The company has shipped an accumulated total of 3,000,000 units in just six months as of March 2010, evidence that the µPD720200 device has become the defacto standard for USB 3.0 host controllers.
Renesas Electronics' new host controller realizes longer battery life for notebook PCs and netbooks and at the same time makes it possible to develop desktop PCs and digital home appliances with low power consumption. The company intends to market the new host controller chip aggressively and believes the new µPD720200A host controller will further promote the widespread use of USB 3.0 technology and also address today's rising demand for energy conservation.
Pricing and Availability
Samples of Renesas Electronics' new µPD720200A host controller are currently available and are priced at US$10 per unit, including the Windows® device driver software. Mass production is expected to reach approximately 2,000,000 units per month in October 2010 and expected to be priced at US$3 per unit. (Pricing is for reference only and is contingent on various terms of the orders. Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.)

We visit temples, we chant, we pray, we perform rituals etc, and force our loved ones also to do the same to get GOD'S blessings. But is it the right path we following. I dont feel so.
Idol worship, fasting, chanting, praying etc.. hardly affects our life.. Its mere waistage of time.. Coz wen v chant, r thots r not stagnant.. And if dey r stagnant , den i dont think GOD ever gets happy by listening his name or praise from his followers.. What matters to him is our KARMAS.. What v think, act, speak , listen, see etc.. How one soul behaves with other soul matters d most.. Coz god stays inside us.. Nowhere else
This is how i feel..

from a late-returning truck, and
POPPITY poppity poppity POP!
There's a woodpecker in the eaves.
Immersed in all this noise,
there's nothing to be done.
But tomorrow's bedtime tot
will be a quadruple shot of rum.

Comparing this president to Hitler, that remind me when democrats used to compare President Bush to Adolph Hitler. when he took us to the war against Saddam by misleading the American people that Saddam was responsible of what happened in 911,and that he has had weapon of mass destruction. All that was proven to be completely false. That war was about oil,period.Although I'm an Independent, I do not believe that the government should shut down because of Obama care. Congress passed that law and the supreme court upholds it.Elections have consequences.From the very beginning of his presidency,some,people began to hate this president just because he's black. So, no matter what he does, the extreme group of the GOP will always find a way to oppose him.
The Obama care is not perfect, but do not shut down the government for something that became a law.Instead,bring a positive idea as to how to improve that healthcare law, by setting aside hate and special interest views.Imagine,Democrats shutting the government down under President Bush terms in the office, because they want immigration reform or a new gun law. Let's grow up!!! Obama care is here to stay, let's find a way to improve it, by adding a" public option" that was being removed to please the GOP!!!!,who are still not happy. The current healthcare system(not the Obama care) is a disaster for this nation and his economy. Any proposal that will reduce the number of people instead of having more than 30 million people with healthcare, will not be a better option. The GOP will lose the house to independent next year if the government does not re-open by the end of this week.

TELESEMINAR: Estate Planning for Farmers and Ranchers – A National Perspective
April 9, 2013
12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
1.00 MCLE hours
One of the most difficult cases for a planner is helping a client preserve family farms or ranches intact and in family control while funding often substantial tax liabilities. Land is distinctly illiquid and clients often resist the necessity of selling off part of the property to pay taxes. But there alternatives short of land sales to obtain liquidity, reduce taxes, and ensure continuing family control. Among other planning alternatives, conservation easements are an effective technique for reducing taxes and the need for substantial immediate liquidity, thereby fostering family control. This program will provide you with a practical guide to estate and succession planning alternatives for family farms and ranches, including the use of conservation easements, advanced gifting techniques, estate freezes and more.
- Planning to minimize estate and gift taxes and preserve control of family farms and ranches
- Techniques to obtain liquidity for the payment of taxes on land
- Use of conservation easements for tax benefit and to preserve the character of property
- Advanced gifting techniques for use by senior generation gifting to junior generation
- Succession planning to ensure operational stability and preserve control
Program Speakers:
Ronald A. Levitt, Sirote & Permutt, P.C., Alabama

Footbo's Guillem Balague backs an "outsider" to break into the Big Four
(Sent to 101 Great Goals from our good friends at Footbo.com)
The first weekend is down, and there are another 37 rounds to go in the English Premier League season.
The weekend had a few genuine surprises and a few, which were – with hindsight – not really surprises at all. And May 2009 will be a time for looking back at the EPL previews given by those "football know-it-alls†with regards to their predictions for the season.
On Footbo.com, well-known analysts Guillem Balague, Rafi Honigstein and Gabriele Marcotti discussed the matter in a "roundtable†forum. According to the three, who contribute regularly on the international social network for football fans, the top four will be a variation of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, with Guillem Balague going as far to suggest that Tottenham will pip Arsenal for further spot. So how did things kick-off for the Premier League?
Arsenal were unconvincing but managed to scrape a win against WBA. The result would have been an upset had it gone any other way. Bolton opened their account to the season nicely with a 3-1 victory against Stoke, but will have to prove they can meet the challenge in the weeks to come when playing better opposition.
Everton's inability to acquire new signings for the team showed through as they couldn't prevent a Blackburn side (playing with the energy provided by a new manager) from coming from 2-1 down to take 3 points following a last minute winner to win 2-3. And surely, everyone's talking point – Tottenham – tipped for big things, yet again, but once more a disappointing start to a season full of so much promise following some high-profile signings.
Liverpool managed to scrape a win when that "El Nino†came to the rescue with a long range shot against Sunderland, and Dean Ashton's double ensured that West Ham got off to a solid start against Wigan. Perhaps the shock of the day was Hull's defeat of Fulham. One of the main relegation candidates started their premiership campaign in style and showed that maybe they have a few tricks up their sleeves.
With Chelsea and Manchester United still to play today, one thing's for sure, this season will be an exciting one and many a football fan in England is hoping that as Guillem hinted, an "outside†club will crack the traditional top 4. Only time will tell if Guillem, Rafi and Gabriele were right about their predictions for the Bundesliga season too.

Gareth Thomas
Jump to
For anyone living outside of Europe, it's best to think of Gareth Thomas as Britain's version of William Shatner--but with more pedigree and less celebrity. From 1978 to 1981, Thomas portrayed Roj Blake, hero of the cult sci-fi classic, "Blakes 7," an experience he described as "a milestone and a millstone in my career." He also admitted to never watching an episode of the show that made him a star. Thomas was trained at the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts in the mid-1960s and played leading roles with the Royal and the English Shakespeare Companies. The burly actor even shared the stage with some of Europe's acting legends during his lengthy career, including John Gielgud and Michael Gambon (Ian Holm, he told a reporter, was his favorite.). Away from the boards and outer space, Thomas has enjoyed a steady presence in films and on TV since the 1960s, playing a range of characters from police officers to Long John Silver.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Texas Rangers - 9/9/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Texas Rangers (83-57) at Los Angeles Angels (62-77)
MLB Baseball: Friday, September 9, 2016 at 10:05 pm (Angel Stadium)
Y Darvish (5-4) (3.45) vs. T Skaggs (3-3) (4.72)
The Line: Los Angeles Angels +122 / Texas Rangers -132 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
The Texas Rangers continue their road trip as they kick off a weekend set against their division rivals in the Los Angeles Angels.
The Rangers travel from Seattle down the Pacific coast into Anaheim to take on the Angels for a weekend set that could have big implications for the Rangers as they are battling for top spot in the American League. Texas is one of the best teams in baseball as they are loaded top to bottom in the lineup and have some very good pitchers including tonight's starter Yu Darvish who will look to regain his top flight as the regular season draws near a close. Darvish is 5-4 with a 3.45 ERA as he will look for another road win here against the Angels who will send Tyler Skaggs to the mound who is 3-3 with a 4.72 ERA and while he has had some decent starts in his career he hasn't quite lived up to the billing thus far.
USA TODAY Sports
The Angels have had a productive season out of perennial MVP candidate Mike Trout as well as future hall of famer Albert Pujols but that is where the fun stops for this group as they are well back in the AL West and will have to go to the drawing board in the offseason. Los Angeles will be out to tag Darvish early and often here as he hasn't been the domain pitcher we have come to see over the years but he has also had a shortened season and could very well turn his game up with the playoffs approaching.
The Rangers are 11-3 in their last 14 against the AL West, 5-1 in Darvish's last six starts, and 8-3 in their last 11 overall while the Angels are 4-0 in their last four home games, 8-3 in their last 11 overall, and 5-17 in their last 22 Friday games. The Angels are at home but this is Texas' game to lose as they have the edge on the mound and we are getting them at a great price.

Ziggy's Piggies Back in Action
After what feels like a very long hiatus, the ZigPig team will be back in action just in time for your holiday shopping. Stay tuned for updates on new listings and coupon codes.
Here is a brief look at what we have been up to over the past year:
This past year has been one for the books. Right before we went on our break, I had picked up a few night classes for my graduate school applications. I was also working at my current job as a medical assistant in a super busy pediatric office. In April, the application cycle for every Physician Assistant program in the country was finally available, and thus began 4 intense months of essays and interviews. I had been preparing myself for this moment for four years, and it totally paid off because I accepted a seat at the Rutger's RWJ School of Health Related Professions. This August I'm going back to school to pursue my dream of becoming a Physician Assistant.
You last left me in my first year of my doctoral program and you'd be surprised the difference a year makes--it has been out of the frying pan and into the fire. I'm currently at a much more intensive externship at a college counseling center, balancing an increased course load, and getting my very own study built from scratch (sidenote - real scientist!). In addition to school I also took another big step: I moved in with my boyfriend! That was definitely one of the best decisions I've made in my life (and bringing home a new kitten certainly added to our happiness). It's been some year so far, and I can't imagine what's to come.

Chalkboard Art
We're always trying to think of new ways to improve our product pictures, whether it's with better lighting, editing, or backgrounds. Compared to our very first photos, I think we're already doing better. But there's always room to grow.
Those two pictures are from November when we opened our shop. They're OK... but that's about it. We wanted to make a powerful first impression. That's where the homemade chalkboard came into play. If you don't remember, we made our own chalkboard out of a hunk of wood from Home Depot (http://ziggyspiggies.blogspot.com/2013/01/handmade-chalkboard_24.html). This board is currently serving as the backdrop for a majority of our items; but not for long.
You see, although we put a lot of work into making the chalk displays, and we loved the way they turned out, we realized this probably wasn't the best idea. It took us about one full hour to make the more intricate of scenes. If we ever needed to recreate a picture it would be a pretty daunting task. Plus, it's really hard adding details with stubby pieces of chalk. Then there's the fact that the actual items are dwarfed by the size of the board, and that makes it hard to see our clips in detail in the Etsy listings.
All of this lead us to develop a better display system: paintings. Playing off the idea of the chalkboard scenes (which we loved), we took smaller pieces of wood and painted specific scenes for each item. The artwork is still being finished but it won't be long now before the chalkboard pictures get put to rest. That is why I wanted to write this post; to have a place to show off all the hard work we put into those displays.
Chalkboard art is after the jump

Is 18 too young for porn?
Award-winning porn director Axel Braun recently announced that he would no longer shoot with performers under the age of 21. He says his "conscience" tells him that 18 is just too young to make the decision to get into porn.
It's a shocking move coming from within an industry that fetishizes "barely legal" youth, let alone from the director of "Naughty College School Girls." But Braun has had a change of heart, and reached a point in his career where he has the power to do something about it. As he told Adult Video News, "The percentage of talent who start performing at 18 and are out of the industry by the time they turn 21 is staggering. Those are the ones who are not cut out for porn, and who could very well spend the rest of their lives regretting their choice."
I spoke with Braun by email about 18-year-old aspiring starlets, the reaction to his decision and whether this will hurt his bottom line.
Why did you decide to raise the minimum age for performers on your shoots?
