Special Event
Today, Wednesday, July 27, 2016 at 4:00 pm, visit the DeRidder branch and see WWII souvenirs while hearing Mr. Neal Bertrand discuss his father's experiences in the South Pacific.
From Neal Bertrand:My father returned home from WWII in the South Pacific with over 400 pictures he took. Using these photos and his battalion's official daily journal, I created a timeline and traced his steps month by month from home to war and back. Plus, there are 80 pictures of WWII war planes and nose art, plus dozens of New Guinea natives.
Travel Tuesdays: Jamaica
For this week's Travel Tuesday we will visit Jamaica. When people want to travel some place exotic yet still stay close to home, Jamaica is one of the favorite destinations. Jamaica's official language is English, even though the local patwa has an island twist, and it is conveniently located in the Carribean with ports for many cruise lines.
There are many things travelers and curious folk can learn about Jamaica by reading through the country profile in Global Road Warrior. Listed below are 5 more quick facts to get you started.
Part of this latter attitude comes from an acceptance that public transportation rarely meets stated timetables. Even if a person strives to be punctual, a tardy bus can delay his or her arrival for an event. In addition, Jamaicans tend to be polychronic, putting people and relationships above the tyranny of the clock."
Music Lovers: Visit our Freegal music service to explore more music options from Jamaican music artists.
Recipe Corner: For an example Jamaican recipe, try banana fritters. Fried, battered bananas are a popular tropical snack.
Recipe Serving: Serves 8
6 very ripe bananas
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
Sunflower oil
Sugar to taste
Peel the bananas and mash to a smooth paste. Add the beaten eggs, nutmeg, and enough flour to make a thick batter. Heat the oil over moderate heat and drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil. When fritters are brown on one side, turn them over. Drain, arrange on a large plate, and sprinkle with sugar.
Merryville Early Closure
Merryville branch will close today at 5:00 pm. We apologize for the inconvenience. All branches of the Beauregard Parish Library will return to their regularly scheduled hours tomorrow, July 26, 2016.

This week we received a new book that might interest all of our patrons who are pet lovers - Dog Medicine: How My Dog Saved Me From Myself by Julie Barton. This is the inspiring memoir of a young woman who suffered from severe depression. She went to several psychiatrists and therapists who tried to help her. Her family also did everything they could to help her. Nothing seemed to work and she sunk deeper into a suicidal depression. Then she decided to do one hopeful thing – she adopted a Golden Retriever puppy and named him Bunker. This began the long and difficult road to recovery. She discovered the ability to forgive past hurts and move forward in her life. She also found that the love of a dog can do amazing things to heal even the most broken hearts and minds.
Find It Friday - Sorting
It's always nice to have things arranged the way you like them. Fortunately, at least for e-mail, our webmail program SquirrelMail makes that easy!
At the top of the various columns listing your e-mails, you will see the title of the column (From, Date, Subject), and beside each is a small Fbox. Clicking one of those boxes in the column header will sort your e-mails based on that column. Click it again, and it reverses the sort, so that if you clicked on Date and had the most recent e-mails at the top, they would end up at the bottom and the oldest e-mails would be on top.
This is actually a common trick done in tables on the World Wide Web. In many cases, if you're looking at a table of items, either there will be a small box to indicate which column is being used to sort the items, or perhaps just clicking on the column header itself will cause the table to be sorted based on that column. You'll see this a lot on Wikipedia, and other websites.
Staff Pick
Need a suggestion for something to read or watch from the library this weekend? Maybe you'd like to check out an ebook or audiobook? Try some of our Staff Picks, to find what some of the other people in our parish are enjoying.
We know that not every staff pick will appeal to every patron, but not to worry! If you need help selecting something, we have online tools like Book Browse and our Online Catalog, or you can ask one of our friendly staff members to help search for you.
Jane Withers movies [DVDs]
If you remember the Shirley Temple film Bright Eyes you'll remember Jane Withers. She was the spoiled rich child who Shirley's character had to play with. But that role made her quite popular and she went on to play the starring role in her own black and white movies. This adorable, apple cheeked brunette played impish yet feisty roles and her talent improved as she grew older. She could dance and sing and act quite convincingly.
Paddy O'Day (1935) is the story of an Irish immigrant girl who comes to America only to learn her mother has died and so the girl will be sent back. A group of kindly gypsies take to her but the authorities will not let them adopt her. So Paddy (Jane) escapes with tiny dog in tow and finds the house where her mother worked. She reeks havoc there but in the end all are better for having known her. Jane even dons an Irish brogue.
Little Miss Nobody (1936) is a movie I really like because it takes place in an orphanage with lots of other children. The orphanage can't afford a Thanksgiving Turkey so Jane liberates one from the local grocer and brings it home in a baby carriage. Jane is always getting in trouble with pranks like this. But Jane the orphan really has a long lost father who is looking for her and the only way he will know her is by the family crest that was on her baby blanket. Jane finds this out and when Jane's delicate friend is about to be adopted out to a family where she would have a mean bully of a brother, Jane makes a great sacrifice by switching the baby blankets with the family crest so that her friend will be adopted by Jane's real father. She is caught doing this and the matron thinks Paddy was trying to pretend she was the real daughter and it is the last straw for the matron and Jane is then sent away to a reform school. But don't fear, she escapes and meets up with her friend who has gotten adopted by Jane's real father and-well, you guessed it, a happy ending.
High School 1940-This is my favorite as Jane is a little older and gets into many funny predicaments like having to sing opera when someone has put a lizard down her back or when she convinces a dance tutor and her accompanist that the garden snake Jane laid on the piano is poisonous and the piano player needs to keep playing to lull the snake into a stupor while the snake hisses and slithers around the poor man. She is sent to live with her uncle and gets him into funny situations. She and all the kids at her new school get into scrapes like busting up a car thief ring by flinging themselves at the bad guys in a crazy free-for-all fight. And by the end of the movie Jane learns to be humble and even has a sweetheart.
Other Jane Withers movies the library has: Golden Hoofs 1941, The Holy Terror 1937, and Always in Trouble 1938 with Arthur Treacher.
If the Jane Withers movies interest you, feel free to request or check it out. We'll be back next Thursday with a different Staff Pick.
Travel Tuesdays: South Africa
For this week's Travel Tuesday we will visit South Africa. South Africa is a large and richly diverse country with borders on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Culturally, modern South Africa shows itself as a unique country with parts from distinct African tribes and various European settlers. For those who dream of an African safari, the Kruger National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the continent.
There are many things travelers and curious folk can learn about South Africa by reading through the country profile in Global Road Warrior. Listed below are 5 more quick facts to get you started.
Postal service is efficient and reliable. SAPO estimates that in 2010, 96 percent of mail was delivered on time. Airmail takes five to twelve days to reach the US and seven days to Europe. Surface mail takes four to eight weeks."
Language Learners: Xhosa and Afrikaans are available through Pronunciator.
Music Lovers: Visit our Freegal music service to explore more music options from South African music artists.
Recipe Corner: For an example South African recipe, try Butternut Soup.
"A winter favorite in South Africa, the main ingredient of this soup is the butternut, a type of winter squash having a bell-like shape, an edible yellow or orange flesh, and a distinctive flavor. The soup serves as a great starter before roast beef or lamb. Chopped parsley, paprika or cayenne pepper, or a few shreds of orange rind may be used as garnish. Adding a dash of curry powder to the sautéing onions lends it a bite."
Recipe Serving: Serves 6
2 tbsp (30 ml) butter 1 medium-sized onion 2 lb (900 g) butternut, peeled, seeded, and cubed 3 cups (720 ml) chicken or vegetable stock 1 stick cinnamon 1 cup (240 ml) cream Salt to taste Pepper, freshly ground
Melt butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion for 3 minutes. Add the butternut squash, stock, and cinnamon, bring to boil, and simmer for 25 minutes. Purée the cooked mixture in a food processor and return to heat, then add cream and seasoning. Heat for a minute longer, add garnishes, and serve immediately.

Free music from Leif Garrett
Remember the 70's teen idol with the mop of blond curls? I'm talking about Leif Garrett, whose real name is Leif Per Nervik. He was named after the famous viking Leif Erickson. When he was younger he sang plenty of cover tunes but later he got to pick his own music and yes, Freegal has his music.
✦He was on the TV series CHIPs (season 3) playing what else- a rock star. Leif Garret was also in all three Walking Tall movies and Macon County Line. And yes, the library has all of these DVDs.
Remember you can just listen to music or listen before you download. You have 5 free downloads a week that are yours to keep forever or daily 3 free hours of commercial-free streaming music all from Freegal, the free and legal website brought to you buy your Beauregard Parish Library.

This week we received some intriguing new non-fiction books that might interest readers.
Check out:
Freedom: My Book of Firsts by Jaycee Dugard. The author was abducted when she was eleven years old and held captive for more than eighteen years. Her previous book, A Stolen Life, tells the story of that captivity. This follow-up book tells about what happened after her rescue. She shares the difficulties and triumphs of adjusting to her new life. Because she was a child when she was kidnapped and essentially grew up as a prisoner, she missed out on the experiences that most of us take for granted. She tells about things like driving a car for the first time and learning to shop for groceries. She also shares the challenges of reconnecting with her family and developing friendships. She shows that even after horrible tragedy there can be happiness and recovery.
Cyberspies: The Secret History of Surveillance, Hacking, and Digital Espionage by Gordon Corera. Beginning with the birth of the internet, the author reveals how the intertwined forces of computers and espionage are reshaping the entire world. He uses his unique access to the NSA and other worldwide agencies to share previously untold and highly classified information about spying and hacking carried out by the U.S., U.K., China, and even global technology companies. He shows that all of this began decades ago when spies secretly developed computers for code breaking, but quickly discovered the expanded potential for them. Computers allowed huge amounts of sensitive information to be shared, but could also be exploited in order for enemies to gain access to damaging secrets. See how all of this technology is affecting the world.
Soul Over Matter: Ancient and Modern Wisdom and Practical Techniques to Create Unlimited Abundance by Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha and Adam Markel. This is a unique book that combines ancient Eastern and modern Western wisdom to create proven techniques that can lead to a path of financial abundance. Zhi Gang Sha is a master healer and spiritual teacher. He is a grandmaster of several ancient disciplines as well as being a doctor of conventional and traditional Chinese medicine. Adam Merkel is a CEO and attorney who founded a multi-million dollar law firm and has trained more than 100,000 people on how to live more balanced and prosperous lives. This unlikely pair shows techniques that allow the soul to connect to universal laws in order to create financial abundance.
Find It Friday - Community Help
The Library strives to be of assistance to all of the members of our community. Sometimes, the best we can do is help patrons find help that they really need that's available in the community.
Supporting that, we have the Community Support Services Directory page. This can also be found by clicking the Community Button in the menu at the top of the Library's home page, then selecting "Community Support Services" listed under Beauregard Parish. Listed are a number of organizations that reach out to help those in need - be it men or women looking to escape domestic violence, help feeding a family, support groups for various addictions, and more.
Check it out, and even if you don't need help yourself, maybe you'll find something there you can support and provide help to those in need. And as always, if there's something you know of that would be useful to add to the page, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Free Stephen Curtis Chapman Music from Freegal
Christian Contemporary Artist Stephen Curtis Chapman got his big break in the 1980's. He sang at churches and Christian Universities. He was always very friendly and willing to sign autographs. I actually saw him at a university in Oklahoma and he was very friendly to everyone there and took pictures and signed autographs. Freegal, the free and legal music service provided by the Beauregard Parish Library has his latest album Worship and Believe full of praise songs featuring the upbeat single "Amen", and live versions of several songs as well.
Freegal also has his 2013 album The Glorious Unfolding which is full of songs written to ease one's grief after the loss of a loved one. Stephen Curtis Chapman's adopted daughter was accidentally run over by his son as the girl went to greet the brother and she died. This tragedy left Stephen heartbroken but he kept his faith and belief that one day in heaven he would see his daughter again. The title track "The Glorious Unfolding" talks about how life is a glorious unfolding and it is far from over but in fact just the beginning as you have your life in heaven too. This theme is continued with the song "See You in a Little While" where the person is dying and you want to hold on but Jesus is calling them home. It will only be the blink of an eye until you see them again and you will be with them forever. And the song "A Little More Time to Love" talks about how we feel when we are left behind when a loved one passes but we can do good things for people in need and we can love as we have been loved. These songs may make you cry but it helped me grieve and they are upbeat and uplifting.
He also has a Christmas Album entitled Joy.
Remember that you can get Stephen Curtis Chapman's music by using your 5 free weekly downloads or simply listen with 3 free daily hours of commercial-free streaming music all from Freegal.

Find It Fridays - Gale Virtual Reference Library
Sometimes, how you get to a site matters as much as what the site is.
In this case, the Gale Virtual Reference Library. As it happens, the State Library of Louisiana has a subscription to this offering. However, the Beauregard Parish Library also has a subscription, where we selected a few different options.
To get to them, you start out on the Louisiana Library Databases Page, found by clicking the appropriate button on the left side of the BPL Homepage. That's the same button as last week's Find It Friday started out with. From there, on the left side of the page, listed in the alphabetical order that libraries so love, is the Gale Virtual Reference - My Library link. This link leads to the BPL's collection of reference works.
On the right side, however, again scrolling down alphabetically, until you find Gale Virtual Reference Library. Clicking that link will take you to the selection of works picked by the State Library. Some works will be in one, some the other, and some in both. So, if you would swear you found something one day, and can't find it again even though you're on the same site, you might not be going crazy - you might just have logged in to the wrong version of the site!

Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango) by Yoko Kamio
Japanese Anime/Manga is not all violence, or superheroes. A lot of it is much more restrained, and covers a wider variety of audiences. While there are certainly the battle-heavy "shonen" stories such as Naruto or Gundam, there are also stories aimed more at girls - called "shojo" stories. "Shonen" or "shojo" are not genres, but audiences, and within these can be mystery stories, horror stories, battle stories, music idol superstar stories, or even sports & games stories. Or they can be, as today's pick is, romance.
Boys Over Flowers is a fun story of a poor girl, Tsukushi, who is sent by her family to an expensive Elite School so that, they hope, she will seduce a rich boy and lift them out of poverty. She's not so on board with this plan, though, and decides to keep her head down and graduate.
When a friend is bullied by the school gang - called the Flower Four, or F4, this sparks a declaration of war. Tsukushi doesn't do the usual victim thing - she attacks back, targetting the leader of the F4. This so surprises the leader, Tsukasa, that he steps back and actually thinks! Of course, first impressions last, so Tsukushi doesn't want anything to do with Tsukasa, as she's got her eye on another boy. But when that boy leaves to chase the girl he's got his eye on, Tsukuski slowly comes to realize that Tsukasa actually has changed. Her hard working ways and determination slowly changes all of the boys in the gang.
I love this story for the way the characters actually change over time, growing and maturing. I grew up in a time when TV series and comic books essentially reset after each show or each issue. The characters never really grew, never really changed, except in comic books when a new artist or writer took over.
If you like your teen-aged angst served with a helping of art work done with flair and talent. If you like a glimpse of a different culture, without lots of explosions and battles. If you like true romance, with the bad boy being civilized into a good guy, and along the way, the lady learning a thing or two about herself - you just might like Boys Over Flowers
If Boys over Flowers interests you, feel free to request or check it out. We'll be back next Thursday with a different Staff Pick.

Playing the piano can be a fun and relaxing hobby. The library has several resources that can help you learn this entertaining skill. We have some excellent DVDs and books for beginners. If you already know the basics, but are frustrated by difficult song books, we received a book this week that might be just the thing for you.
The Easy Country Fake Book: Over 100 Songs in the Key of "C" is published by the Hal Leonard Corporation, a leader in music instruction books. It contains many classic country songs in a format that is easy to read and play. The melody is printed in large notes that are easy to see. There are simplified chords above the music so you can create your own accompaniment. If you are not familiar with the chords, there is a chart in the back to help. All songs include lyrics so you can enjoy a sing-a-long.
Some of the songs included are: Your Cheatin' Heart, Always on my Mind, God Bless the U.S.A., I Walk the Line, Love Me Tender, and many others.
While Fake Books are great for novice piano players, advanced players can use them too. In fact, even some professional musicians use them. They get creative with the chords to enhance the music with their own style.
So, whatever your playing ability, check out this book and have fun making music.
July is National Recreation and Parks Month

Winn Army Community Hospital cut the ribbon on a new CT scan machine Thursday afternoon. Winn is the first Army medical-treatment facility to receive the new technology.
Full disclosure in four parts: First, I am not a tech-savvy person and never intend to become one.
Today is Women's Health & Fitness Day, but its promotional message is important every day - to encourage women to take control of their health, learn the facts they need to make smart health choices and make time for regular physical activity.
I've been thinking a lot lately about the difference between the way I and almost everyone else in my generation (I was born in 1947, the year the flying saucers returned - just a coincidence) were raised and the way today's kids are being raised. The two ways in question reflect two entirely different mindsets - specifically, two entirely different understandings of the responsibilities involved in being a parent.
Dropping temperatures and an influx of fall crops are indications that autumn is fast approaching - and flu season is coming with it.
At the start of last year's hurricane season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a more active season due, in part, to the record warm ocean temperatures.

Good Points
A great family day out!
Bad Points
Not good in bad weather, did not like a pizza in the restaurant!
General Comments
We went to the London Zoo on this Bank Holiday on 1st May. I was very impressed by the size of the zoo. Animals were very lovely. There was a new section where we could enter and be together with little funny monkeys - we could not touch them, but it was a very interesting experience. Animals in Action event is an exciting one! You get to see animals very close: they fly, leap and climb right next to you!
The only thing not to go for is pizzas that are sold in a restaurant in the Zoo. Food is Ok, but could be less expensive.

Last name origin & meaning:
From the personal name Virgil, a vernacular form of the
Latin personal name Vergilius, Virgilius, which was
probably of Etruscan origin. The name is famous in particular as
that of the Latin poet Publius Vergilius Maro (70–19 bc),
author of the Aeneid. Virgil was much admired in medieval Europe;
there were attempts to make him into an honorary Christian (even
though he actually lived before the time of Christ), and Dante made
him his guide through the Inferno and Purgatorio, a model of classical
moderation and reason. This was also the name of an early saint, a
6th-century bishop of Arles. The forename is popular mainly in the
U.S., and it is possible that the surname was coined here in at least
some cases.

We're pleased to feature this guest post from EOR.
Like many people, my relationship with The Church is a complicated one. I converted from Catholicism at the age of 15 and despite over 20 years of membership there is nothing that necessarily ties me to The Church. I come from a large family, none of which are LDS nor have any intention of becoming so. So I have walked this road largely alone.
My faith in God and in the Gospel has never been in question, even sometimes at great aggravation to myself. However, The Church and I have had what can aptly be described as a "love-not exactly hate" relationship. I have gone through periods of inactivity for varying reasons which I won't address here including one currently. I also have a similarly complicated relationship with myself.
In Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo and Frollo have what is (in my opinion) the single greatest song in Disney history. It succinctly sums up each character as well as compares and contrasts them with rich, spiritually infused vocals. This 2-part song also serves to sum up my interactions with The Church and with my inner self. Heaven's Light/Hellfire sees Quasimodo and Frollo both relaying the story of their object, Esmeralda. Both characters are profoundly impacted by her but in two very different ways. The Church is my Esmeralda; my object for purposes of this analogy.

Catholics told to lobby their MPs to vote against gay marriage
- From: The Australian
- December 20, 2010
- Church piles pressure on Labor MPs
- Warns of "Green assault" on family life
- Gay marriage "trivialises parenthood, family"
THE Catholic Church is instructing parishioners to lobby federal MPs against voting for gay marriage, suggesting they base arguments on the natural order and the importance of a biological relationship with children rather than on marriage being a religious institution.
As pressure mounts inside the Labor Party for a change in the party's policy officially banning such marriages, both the gay lobby and now the Catholic Church are intensifying their efforts to win the debate.
MPs are consulting their constituents after a Greens motion urging politicians to seek the views of their electorates on changing marriage laws was passed last month in the House of Representatives with Labor's support.
In an open letter, the church tells its members that as "the Greens continue their assault on the culture of life . . . every Catholic should let federal legislators know that marriage and family, the cornerstone of society, must be protected at all costs."
The "talking points" to be used by parishioners have been prepared by the Sydney Archdiocese, the Catholic Women's League and the Knights of the Southern Cross.
"Marriage between a man and a woman is not a religious construct but a natural institution found across all cultures and religions.
"Marriage is a unique kind of sexually complementary union with a natural orientation to life," reads the key argument.
To counter the argument used by the gay lobby that children are an optional extra for marriage and marriage is not connected to having children, the church suggests that heterosexual married couples that are infertile have a greater right to be married "because their lovemaking is designed to give life".
"Allowing two men or two women to marry would involve a fundamental change in our understanding of marriage, from a life-giving and sexually complementary union to a personal, romantic relationship with no true communion or connection to procreation," it says.
The church also said allowing gay marriage would trivialise the meaning and dignity of motherhood and fatherhood.

OOhhh ahhh, People who aren't us might be happy.... Just suck it up, let all people have the same rights... in all legal/civil ways.
Female Realist Posted at 4:12 AM December 20, 2010
Well the, the gay lobby can't argue with that, a gay couple can't not 'naturally' conceive a child through their union unless they have sperm or an egg from another person, who is not part of the union. They are protected under law on inheritance and super issues, so why take on the 'straight' instituation of marriage. Why can't they just be happy with living together.
Mellea, 18 of Perth Posted at 4:11 AM December 20, 2010
Oh the catholic church, pathetic. It is NOT up to you to decide what the meaning of marriage should be between two people, and in today's society it doesn't mean a hell of a lot between heterosexual people. Give the gay and lesbian community a chance to prove that love is found between any two people from any culture, religion, race or sexuality and that they can make it work as well or possibly better than some straight couples. Procreation is no longer a reason for marriage, so marriage should no longer be only a heterosexual union.

Analysis of multidimensional data often requires careful examination of relationships across dimensions. Coordinated multiple view approaches have become commonplace in visual analysis tools because they directly support expression of complex multidimensional queries using simple interactions. However, generating such tools remains difficult because of the need to map domain-specific data structures and semantics into the idiosyncratic combinations of interdependent data and visual abstractions needed to reveal particular patterns and distributions in cross-dimensional relationships. This paper describes: (1) a method for interactively expressing sequences of multidimensional set queries by cross-filtering data values across pairs of views, and (2) design strategies for constructing coordinated multiple view interfaces for cross-filtered visual analysis of multidimensional data sets. Using examples of cross-filtered visualizations of data from several different domains, we describe how cross-filtering can be modularized and reused across designs, flexibly customized with respect to data types across multiple dimensions, and incorporated into more wide-ranging multiple view designs. The demonstrated analytic utility of these examples suggest that cross-filtering is a suitable design pattern for instantiation in a wide variety of visual analysis tools.

During this time, he mentored a certain DJ who had started calling himself Sasha before himself becoming a producer and remixer of some repute. This Friday (21st June) Jon, now living in Sweden, is flying over for a Hacienda reunion, taking place at The Coronet in London.

The DJ line-up features many notable spinners from the Hacienda era, with Mike Pickering, Graeme Park, Jon Da Silva, Justin Robertson, K-Klass and Allister Whitehead joined by London's Danny Rampling for "a special midsummer event which recreates the spirit and unique atmosphere of The Hacienda".
