Conditions of Sale
These Conditions of Sale and the Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing Practices contain all of the terms on which Kamelot and the seller contract with the buyer. They may be amended by posted notices or oral announcements made during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.
Except as stated in the Limited Warranty in paragraph 5 below, all property is sold "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind by Kamelot or the seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry.
(a) Examination of property
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. If a bidder is unable to view an item in person, they are responsible for obtaining/requesting a condition report and/or additional photographs prior to bidding to determine an article's condition, size and any other pertinent information. We strive to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. If you have very particular taste, it is advisable that you inspect items in person, as your definition of condition may be more exacting than a specialist could have time to verify.
(b) Condition reports
Our specialists will respond to condition report requests as quickly as possible, however please be patient. We get many requests and we make every effort to respond to all of them in a timely fashion. Kamelot reserves the right to reject a condition report/additional photograph requests in which, in our opinion, the value of the object is not commensurate with the time necessary to complete the request.
(c) Catalogue and other descriptions
All statements by us in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statement of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us of any kind. References in the catalogue entry or the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Except as set forth in paragraph 5 below, neither Kamelot nor the seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.
(d) Reserves
Unless otherwise indicated, lots offered may be subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue.
All unreserved bidding starts at 50% of the low estimate unless there are two or more competing absentee bids at a price higher than that. (For example, a lot estimated at $1,000 - $1,500, with no reserve, will normally open at $500. If there are two absentee bids for $600 and $800, the lot must sell for $650, even if there is no further bidding from the phone, internet or from the live audience.
(a) Absentee bids
Kamelot requires all absentee bids be submitted no later than 7:00pm on the business day prior to the auction. If you fax your absentee bids, please call to confirm receipt. All absentee bidding is handled as though you are in attendance. Kamelot will purchase all designated lots for you one bidding increment above where competition stops. Absentee bidding is a convenience offered to our customers and, while we will make every effort to execute your instructions, Kamelot Auctions is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to do so.
Bidding Increments:
From To Increment
0 499 $25.00
500 999 $50.00
1000 1999 $100.00
2000 4999 $200.00
5000 9999 $250.00
10000 19999 $1000.00
20000 and up $2000.00
Please check and comply with these increments. In case of failure to comply, we will reduce each off-increment bid to the next lower figure. Plus bids: Because of our structured bidding increments, it is more likely that several people will leave identical bids. Since an earlier bid left with the auction house wins in the event of a tie, a later bid with an added plus bid to the next increment would win the piece. (NOTE: Absentee bids left on Live Auctioneers or eBay Live Auctions are sent to the auction house during the actual sale. There is no time advantage to leaving bids in this fashion.)
(b) Phone bids
Kamelot requires all phone bids be submitted no later than 7:00pm on the business day prior to the auction. If you fax your phone bids, please call to confirm receipt. One of the reasons people bid by phone is to monitor how much they are spending. However, if you bid by phone, you must be willing to bid to the low estimate should the bidding go that far. There is no exception to this rule. All requests for overseas telephone lines must be accompanied by absentee bids, which will be executed on the buyers behalf, should there be a problem executing the telephone bid.
(c) Internet bids
Kamelot Auctions is able to provide live bidding via kamelotauctions.com, eBay Live or Live Auctioneers. However, the user of these sites indemnifies and holds Kamelot Auctions and its consignors harmless against any claim arising out of or resulting from your use of any or all of these sites, including all losses, damages, liabilities, and all fees (including attorneys fees), costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any claim. Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall Kamelot Auctions and its consignors be liable for lost profits or any special, incidental, or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, these sites.
(a) Sales results
Results are available by phone and on the web at www.kamelotauctions.com. Sales results are available no earlier than 2 p.m. on the first business day following the auction or as soon as the Auction House has audited and verified all sales. Please do not call prior to this time for results, as they will not be given out under any circumstances. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
(b) Buyer's premium
A buyer's premium of 20% will be added to the successful bid price of each lot that you purchase,(a higher buyers premium may be added for live internet bidding) and is payable by you, along with applicable tax which, is applied to the total cost of your purchase. Buyers will be required to pay the State of Pennsylvania Sales Tax of 6% as well as the City of Philadelphia Sales Tax of 1% for a total of 7% at the time of payment unless the items are shipped out of the state of Pennsylvania or the buyer provides Kamelot with a valid Tax Exemption Number and fills out an Exemption Certificate (available upon request). This is Pennsylvania State Law and applies to anyone picking up items, regardless if you live or bid on the items outside the state of Pennsylvania.
(c) Payment and passing of title
All successful bidders will be sent invoices by mail or e-mail the first business day after the auction. All payments are due immediately upon receipt of invoice and should be received by Kamelot Auctions no later than 5 business days after the auction. Acceptable payment methods include cash, certified checks, money orders, or personal check. We do not accept credit cards or PayPal. The only acceptable method of payment for purchases made outside the U.S. is a bank wire/bank transfer. For invoices more than $1,000, there is no additional fee for this service. For invoices less than $1,000, please include an additional $25 wire fee. We will forward our bank wiring information after completion of the auction. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
(d) Remedies for non-payment
If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared funds within the time required by paragraph (c) above, we shall be entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available to us by law):
(i) to charge interest at such rate as we shall reasonably decide;
(ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceeding for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law;
(iii) to cancel the sale
(e) Pickups
The week following the sale, Kamelot will provide labor to help assist buyers/shippers with their purchases however, buyers and/or their shippers, must pack/wrap and load their items. If items are picked up after the first week, please be aware that labor may not be available to assist buyers/shippers with their purchases. Normal pickup hours are Monday - Friday 10:00am - 4:00pm. All purchases must be removed within 15 days after an auction. Property that is not removed within 15 days of the sale will be moved to a storage facility at the buyer's risk and expense. The buyer will thereafter be assessed a storage charge of $10 per day. All associated charges must be paid in full before the property will be released. Property that has been paid for but remains unclaimed for more than 120 days will become the property of Kamelot Auctions.
(f) Shipping
Kamelot does not provide in-house shipping, but will assist bidders in arranging for the shipment of their items by providing a list of reputable shippers. All pickups or shipping arrangements should be made at the time of payment, but no later than 15 days from the sale.
(g) Export license
Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the buyer wishes to apply for an export license does not affect his or her obligation to make payment immediately upon receipt of an invoice, nor our right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. If the buyer requests us to apply for an export license on his or her behalf, we shall be entitled to make a charge for this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the buyer in circumstances where an export license is required.
We agree to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 5 below. Apart from that, neither the seller nor we, nor any or our officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lot.

Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph.

The term "author"or "authorship" refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the description of the property in this catalogue.

My mom (who lives in New Jersey, along with me.) is not exactly a Asian food lover, but I'm out to change that. Since we live down here in like the most non-Asian, part of the East Coast, there's not much to like. My aunt who I visit often lives in NYC so I often go to my Nippon-o-phile side and go all-out Japanese. So I was hoping you could help me compile a grocery list of what i need for a traditional Japanese Breakfast.
i.e- miso soup, pickled something-or-others, etc...
Foodies do it better.
This is Maki's post of a traditional Japanese breakfast.
While in Japan I ate a variety of breakfasts. Mostly, breakfast is not too different from lunch or dinner. When I stayed at the Plaza in Osaka, I thought they were putting out last night's leftovers for the breakfast buffet! And I was suprised by the sandwiches we ate in various youth hostels around the place. In our hotel in Tokyo, breakfast was a small omelete, a couple of breakfast sausages and coffee.
When we stayed in more traditional places, our breakfast was much like Maki's post: fish, rice, egg, maybe some salad or pickles. Yummy! In our own house, we mostly ate what we knew, which meant thick slices of white bread with imported Marmite, or Weetabix from the foreign food shop. I wish I had eaten more traditional food at home, but I didn't know how to cook then. If only I had discovered Maki sooner!
My Japanese/bento blog:
Traditional Japanese breakfast would be rice, miso soup, some sort of grilled fish (usually himono (half-dried fish) marinated or shiozuke (e.g. salted salmon), often a raw egg, some nori (dipped into soy sauce then wrapped around some rice), natto (fermented soy beans), and pickles. BUT, i would avoid serving the raw egg, natto and any whole fish to a Japanese food novice. The whole fish because it takes a bit of skill to eat one without running into bone problems, raw egg because it's hard to get safe raw eggs in the US, and natto because...well, it's an acquired taste. So... how about
- rice
- miso soup you make yourself, or a good instant variety
- tamagoyaki - basic recipe
- instant pickled you make yourself or bought pickles (you just need a small amount per person, like 2-3 tablespoons worth)
- If you think your mom can go with fish for breakfastA boneless piece of marinated or salted salmon. If you're in NJ you can get these from Mitsuwa. See if they have fish marinated in sake lees (sake kazu zuke) - you wipe off the lees and just grill it or pan fry it. It may sound odd but it is sweet and really delicious. Else, see if you can find salted salmon (go for 'mild salt' if they have different kinds) or miso marinated fish of some sort.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks guys I appreciate the quick response! I'll be sure to go food shopping soon with that in mind.

Johnson County's Commissioners awarded the maintenance contract for the judicial/justice center complex to Powder River Heating and Air Conditioning of Buffalo to provide maintenance work on the heating and air conditioning systems of both buildings.
John Griffith with Groathouse Construction, who built both buildings for the county, gave the commissioners a short presentation saying there were two companies that submitted bids after learning the full scope of the requirements of the contract.
The first was from Sheet Metal Specialties of Casper, whose bid was $34,900 and the second was from Powder River Heating and Air Conditioning for $28,496 for an annual contract.
Griffith said there were two main components to the bids, the first being cost and the second being the overall monitoring of the facilities.
The contract will take effect in January of 2013, and quarterly maintenace will be performed in January, April, July and October.

Since I am not a scientist or chemist, I do not know what to look for in a list of ingredients. Odalisque and Sacrebleu Intense had a beautiful incense drydown. I was amazed how Patricia Nicolai used incense the way that Guerlain used vanilla. Now these two former beauties should be called Odal & Sacrebleu Lukewarm. What is missing from the new that was in the old?
In a time of economic downturn, I am interested in the fragrances that you would choose if your perfume allowance were cut back drastically. These are my choices...for a floral, I would choose Anais Anais...for a chypre, I would choose Paloma Picasso...for an oriental/gourmand, I would choose Lolita Lempicka. What would you choose?
I am searching for an a fairly literal orange blossom/neroli scent with staying power. I don't want to smell like a candle or a "home fragrance", though. Any suggestions?

It is fascinating as a gem and as a gem product. I fell in love with the stone on my first encounter with it in the early 1970s when it was brought by a customer to my gem lab. I dont really care in what color it is normally found in nature (brown) and that a short and not very sophisticated heating process turns it into beautiful blue.
This gem has sent me for the last 30 years, for months on end, to Kenya and the mines in the Merelani hills in Tanzania where conditions used to be terrible in the early days, buying in the bush from the Masai miners and exporting it to the west.
I spent years trying to refine my tanzanite heating process, including a custom-made computer-controlled oven with many stages and properties, only to find, fairly late in life, that my gem behaves best when cooked on a fire or gas stove packed in a cigarette paper.
The history of tanzanite begins in the late 1960s when Christies introduced this fine stone to the international market by launching a campaign. The stone was accepted with great enthusiasm and fetched very high prices, well over $1,000 a carat for fine, large pieces. But due to unstable supplies, the market was limited mainly to collectors.
When we first arrived with calibrated tanzanite in the US market in the late 1970s, many dealers were reluctant to look at this soft gem. One even told me that the gem was so soft (6+ on the Mohs scale of hardness) that it can crack even if one sneezes on it, which is a gross exaggeration, but come to think about it, not so far from the truth. I once had a 15 carat gem that lost its corner when I accidentally dropped it on the table. (Dont try it at home!)
The 1980s saw a surge of supply from the mines, which resulted in greater recognition and appreciation of the stones. By the late 1980s, supply and demand were both high. Prices were reasonably low resulting in many designers using this remarkable stone as a centerpiece for their jewelry. The 1990s saw the golden era of tanzanite as a commercial product.
Outstanding tanzanites were used for fine quality jewelry, but on the other hand, inferior qualities of tanzanites, pale or too violet, which were once considered to be too poor for use in jewelry, are quite commonly used today. Parcels of tanzanite cut in calibrated sizes are in high demand.
One should not forget that a fine blue tanzanite of 10 carats could cost today about $5,000-$10,000 a piece, whereas a similar color of sapphire weighing 10 carats could cost anything between $30,000- $100,000 a piece. Because color is so dominant in jewelry today, big, colorful, sapphire blue, natural stones at a reasonable price is only feasible using tanzanite.
In 1997, for no apparent reason, the price of tanzanite collapsed with the gems dropping in value by the day. This caused many people, including your humble servant, to lose lots of dollars because of his love for, and loyalty to, the gem. They say it was a flood of gems from the mine. The prices were down for two years, then from mid-1998 up to mid-2001 they rose sharply, bluing many jewels and reigning over many TV shopping evenings.
And then came 9/11 and the false rumors that the gem was generating funds for terrorists... and the prices died for a couple of years. Since then new players have been in the market, some trying to stabilize the market and create some kind of a controlled environment.
Lets not forget that tanzanite does not have the 1,000 year history and record of sapphire, hence it is more sensitive to changes. However, I believe that the fact that there is only one locality in which the stone is found, coupled with the relatively small supply, and the ever-growing demand and interest of the world market, and the fact that the Holy Bible mentioned only one big flood, tanzanites place in the gem-world is secured for many years to come.
As for myself, my love for the gem is as strong today as the first day I set eyes on it...

In our European Gemological Center, we hear on almost a weekly basis stories along the lines of: This is a rare gem that has been in my family for centuries or My great, great, great-grandfather sold two large factories in Persia and got this gem for it. Sometimes we are flushed with immense excitement prior to opening the parcel in which these gems come when a customer describes to us a red diamond the size of his fingernail (and most have big fingernails) that has been in the possession of his family for generations, only to find out, a few minutes later, that he has a nice piece of garnet worth a few dollars...
Sometimes we end up with tears in our eyes when told a heartbreaking story of a family walking in the desert for months with a gem hidden in the childrens clothes - a stone that was in the possession of a famous rabbi centuries ago. We in the lab know that just by touching it we are going to be blessed forever, only to find out that the holy gem is a fairly newly cut (40-50 years old) synthetic Veneuil ruby worth nothing.
So you may ask yourselves: How come, after all these years that we have been in the gemology business and the thousands of imitations and synthetics that have passed through our hands we are always very excited every time we receive a phone call of such stories of gems.
Several years ago I received a call from an old lady who insisted on talking to me and only to me. She said that she had seen my two-volume book about gems in a shop and I probably understood gems well. I thanked her for the compliment and asked her if this was the only reason she was calling. She replied: No, I have a green stone and red stone that my grandfather received when he sold his land and house in Russia many years ago (sound familiar?)
When I asked her to come and have them checked in the lab she said she was too old to travel and that she hated Tel Aviv. I did not want to start explaining to her that we are actually situated in Ramat Gan (next to Tel Aviv) and asked her to describe the stones to me to which she said: One is the size of an old half Israeli Shekel coin and the other is a bit larger. My father told me that his father said that one is Smarugt and the other Rubit, one changes color like a lizard and the other glitters like red clean glass on fire. Anyone who knows the old Israeli coins realizes that the lady was talking about large gems, and anyone who knows anything about gems knows that she probably meant alexandrite and ruby. And anyone who knows about glittering old clean red stones knows that they are for sure, glass or synthetics and since when can an alexandrite of this size be hidden in Israel, in an old ladys home for so long?
I explained to her that the gems that she was describing were most likely to be imitations, because alexandrite and ruby of these sizes are so very rare and that I never leave the lab to check gems on house-calls. To which she replied: Do you think my grandfather was an idiot?. I ended up packing my microscope and small portable lab and visiting her little lovely house.
To cut a long story short. The Smarugt ended up to be a fantastic more than 20 carat natural alexandrite. And the ruby was a native cut Burmese ruby, natural and unheated. Two top quality gems.
When she asked me how much I thought they were worth and I told her, she was not amazed at all and although the gems were worth several times the price of her house she just looked at me and said: I knew he was a clever man, now I can buy my grandson a flat.
I have promised to her not to disclose to anybody the value of these gems. Curious readers should look into prices given for such gems in recent auctions if you are keen to know the value. And as for myself, I learnt again the first rule of gemology, not all that glitters is synthetic, and you really never know...

Some laboratories were quick to produce thousands of reports for beautiful Padparadcha.
Sapphires, not suspecting the obvious question of how come?
It shook the world of gems, it ruined the faith of some major consuming centers, which are refusing to use sapphires unless free of any treatment. It caused what I call, the ETQ or excess time for questions during sale times, when you or your sales person are spending time to explain that your gems are OK instead of concentrating on how beautiful they are. Such is the case now with the new corundum treatment. They take low quality rough semi opaque corundum, full of cracks, fissures and cavities, pre-clean the material from the material in the fissures and impregnate the cracks with lead and some silica. The effect is startling. Those opaque cracks allow the light to travel through the material resulting in a rubylike material, comparable to a ruby worth many folds the ugly rough it originated from. And then came certificates:
In the Bangkok fair a few days ago, I saw a certificate (which was part of a pile of fresh certificates) clearly stating that the stone was a natural ruby, natural corundum and as a comment in the bottom a mention to the effect that some glass (lead) has been found in features.
How far do we have to go with treatments in order to lose the magic word natural? Will a product made out of natural powdered corundum impregnated with glass and lead still be called natural ruby?
We are going way too far.
Well friends lets clear things up.
A ruby is a natural red corundum with chromium and iron as the coloring elements.
It is not a treated corundum filled with lead. The product is not a natural ruby, it is not even a natural corundum. It should be properly called: treated corundum, impregnated by lead to create an imitation ruby.
Let us protect what is sacred and not abuse the word natural.
Let us protect natural with a separate natural certificate, which will look different from the treated gems certificate.
Lets cherish those precious gems for that which sets them apart from the crowd - they are natural.

Software upgrades usually offer new bells and whistles for users, but of course, one person's awesome new feature is another person's really annoying problem. The new Snap feature in Windows 7 is a good example.
Snap lets you arrange an open window, including maximizing and resizing, by simply dragging and dropping it to different edges of the screen. And like many new Windows features, some people love it, and some hate it.
If you're in the "hate it" camp, you'll love this week's TR Dojo episode. I show you how to disable Windows 7 Snap feature.
For those who prefer text to video, you can click the Transcript link that appears below the video player window or check out Greg Shultz's article, "Quick Tip: Disable Snap in Windows 7."

Youssi Abderrahim (Rabat, Morroco), 25 March 2006
on Deserted in Western Sahara, by Saeed Taji Farouky
S. Farouky's paper on the Sahraoui Arab Republic is biased, unbalanced and smacks of simplistic or manicheist reporting of the under-developed reporting current during the Cold War era, to say the least.
At no time the disruptive role of the successive Algerian dictatorships during the last 30 years or so is mentioned, nor are their constant, blatant hegemonist policies questioned. Nor the fact that Algiers' successive dictators may have greatly varied in their often bloody styles of government, and that their dangerous, geopolitical goals never changed.
Without Algerian money – squandered among others on the grandiose ceremonies like the one that Mr. Farouky and the other 500 hundred journalist were invited to during the commemorative gathering of last February – the SADR, I say, would simply not exist, and the Maghreb would have made an extraordinary leap into modernity, and the North African entity would have gained more credibility as viable, cooperative socio-economic community.
Mr. Farouky's paper will most certainly com as a shock to any Moroccan that will read it.
Youssi Abderrahim, Professor

Richard "Bubba" Crosby is one of the 92 veterans in South Carolina who went on a day trip to Washington, D.C. through the Honor Flight of South Carolina.
Crosby, 85, has lived in Hardeeville all his life and was invited on the trip by his high school friend, John "J.W." Harper.
South Carolina's electric cooperatives sponsored the flight and it is the second co-op-sponsored flight this year. Van O'Cain, director of public and member relations for Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina, attended the event.
"I'm so proud to be part of an organization that gave these heroes a chance to see their memorial," O'Cain said. "But I know it's only a small gift compared to what they gave us: Our freedom."
The Honor Flight departed Columbia on Wednesday for Reagan Airport in Washington, D.C. The veterans were taken on a bus ride to the WWII Memorial then to the South Carolina Pillar for the Presentation of the Flags. After touring around Washington, D.C., the veterans visited the Korean, Vietnam and Lincoln Memorials. Next, they arrived at Arlington Cemetery and witnessed the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.
"You see old black and white film footage or photos from the war, but none of that does justice to being able to walk with and talk with this greatest generation in a place that was dedicated in their honor," O'Cain said. "It's a humbling experience, and I'm so glad I was able to be a part of this small 'thank you' to our vets."
Crosby experienced Washington, D.C. for the first time.
"I've never been," Crosby said. "I was looking forward to seeing the World War II memorial and maybe seeing names of those I knew."
Crosby served in the Army for two years after he was drafted at the age of 18 in 1945.
"I was drafted shortly after World War II ended in Europe," Crosby said. "I was never really in danger of any kind and I had a lot of fun."
For the first couple weeks after his basic training, Crosby traveled with 6,800 troops who would replace those who currently served in Germany. Crosby made it through Germany and back to camp without being a replacement. He was then assigned to the postal unit with nine other troops.
"Before I was reassigned to the postal unit, we stayed for two weeks in a tent at Camp Top Hat Belgium on the beach," Crosby said. "It was so cold that you could see the saltwater form into ice cubes."
Once Crosby was reassigned, he became the motor sergeant for the postal unit because he was the only one that knew how to drive. Crosby's wife said he was just a farm boy from Hardeeville who could drive his fellow soldiers around.
"I guess the others were from Staten Island or New Jersey and took cabs everywhere," Crosby said. "I even bought a jeep for $50 and took the boys all around Europe."
While he was a part of the postal unit for the Army, Crosby had the opportunity to play for a baseball team with other Army infantries. He was selected to be on the All-Star team and the team won the Western Division. Crosby also played basketball in Europe.
"Our postal unit influenced the colleges in Europe to start basketball games again after the war," Crosby said. "We had two teams and we were given the key to the city by the Mayor and invited to play basketball all over Europe."
When Crosby was drafted, he was asked to take part in the officer training program, but he wanted the shortest term so he could return to Hardeeville.
"I had a lot of fun, but I was ready to return home," Crosby said.
Harper said he really enjoyed the experience.
"The WWII memorial and the Korean Memorial was what I really enjoyed because I took part in both of those wars," Harper said. "It's been a really good day and I am thankful for the opportunity. It has brought back some memories especially the Korean Memorial because I was in combat."

Z39.50 frequently asked questions
Show all answersHide all answers / Print
How does OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging compare to OCLC Connexion?
Z39.50 Cataloging does not provide the same functionality as OCLC Connexion. The following list of Z39.50 Cataloging limitations illustrates some of the major differences between the two cataloging services:
- There is no lock and replace capability for libraries that perform enhance, CONSER, and upgrading activities.
- Uploading of original cataloging records is not currently available.
Can I access authority files with this service?
Library of Congress name and subject authority records are available for this service via the OCLCAuthoritiesLC database.
Can I display holdings information for individual items?
Yes, you can see holdings for your institution. You can also see other institutions' specific holdings under certain conditions. For details, see the Holdings section of Searching Tips for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging.
Are "lock and replace" available for "enhance" libraries?
There is no "lock and replace" capability for WorldCat records with OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging.
How do member libraries set holdings?
OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging users have the following options for returning holdings:
Set holdings directly online via Z39.50. This requires that the library's local Z39.50 client is capable of implementing the OCLC Extended Services Definition of Version 3 (Z39.50-1995). Libraries should consult with their local system vendor and/or system administrator regarding the functionality and configuration of individual Z39.50 clients. Z39.50 clients can currently be programmed to return holdings information by returning the OCLC control number to the OCLC server. This will attach the library's institutional symbol to the master WorldCat record. OCLC will also archive a copy of the master record for the library issuing the holdings request.
Return holdings information via batchload or EDX (FTP). Libraries choosing this option must have the ability to export OCLC-derived Z39.50 records from their local systems and deliver these to OCLC via tape or FTP. OCLC Z39.50 records will be identified by the presence of the "Z0" identifier in the MARC 994 field. The 994 field is generated on export from OCLC and OCLC requests that this field be retained when returning holdings information to OCLC. The presence of the 994 field will insure that OCLC Z39.50 derived holdings will be processed correctly. Each record will then be matched using the OCLC record control number during unique key matching.
Libraries that do not currently batchload or deliver holdings information to OCLC via EDX will be required to submit a Batchload Holdings Form through their OCLC regional service provider, along with a sample tape or EDX file for evaluation purposes. Tape and file submittal specifications are included with the batchloading documentation for this service on this Web site. There is an additional fee for the establishment of all new OCLC batchload profiles. Holdings information for OCLC-derived Z39.50 records must always retain the MARC 994 identifier. This will insure optimal sorting and processing of Z39.50 records if these records are combined with records from other sources. Libraries that do not retain the 994 identifier will be required to deliver OCLC Z39.50-derived records as a separate tape or file. Libraries with existing batchload definitions will need to update their profiles and will be required to submit a Batchload Holdings Form to their Regional Networks the first time they submit OCLC-derived Z39.50 holdings. No fee will be assessed if the library is just switching from OCLC Cataloging to OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging as a source of bibliographic records. However, if a library changes its existing automation system or purchases a new one, it will change the way records are exported and this will require a new batchload definition with applicable fees. Consult the batchloading documentation for this service on this web site for specific details on tape and file submittal specifications.
How do member libraries delete holdings?
OCLC supports deleting institution holding symbols via the Z39.50-1995 DatabaseUpdate Extended Service Definition. For more information on deleting holdings, see Z39.50 Database Update Implementation for OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging: Extended Service Definition.
- All local holdings records (LHRs) associated with a bibliographic record are deleted when holdings are deleted from the bibliographic record. To retain LHRs, move them to another record before deleting holdings from a bibliographic record.
- Holdings deleted via the Z39.50-1995 DatabaseUpdate Extended Service Definition do not appear in the OCLC Usage Statistics Portal.
Can my library use RCON and search-only authorizations?
Libraries can use RCON and search-only authorizations with this service. However, all transactions processed using these authorizations will be billed at the same rate as transactions that use FULL cataloging authorizations. In addition, libraries using search-only authorizations will not be able to use any of the OCLC Extended Services update functions.
Can I use CJK or other non-Latin alphabet software?
Several non-Latin scripts, including CKJ, can be used with this service. See the Configuration Guide for OCOC Z39.50 Cataloging for additional information.
Can I upload original cataloging records to WorldCat?
OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging does not currently support the addition of cataloging records to WorldCat. OCLC is considering this enhancement for future development.
Can I edit/delete full records?
OCLC Z39.50 Cataloging users currently cannot edit or delete full records from either WorldCat or their archival copy via Z39.50.
Does this service provide access to other OCLC databases?
This service currently access only WorldCat (OLUCWorldCat) and Library of Congress name and subject authorities (OCLCAuthoritiesLC) databases.

Hazard tempted by Chelsea's UCL glory
Eden Hazard says he may opt to join Chelsea in a big-money move this summer, though the Lille starlet revealed he has yet to finalise a deal for next season.
• Ligue 1: Montpellier claim title
• Europe's winners and losers in 2011-12
Hazard appears certain to switch from Ligue 1 to the Premier League next term with Manchester City and United long considered favourites to snare his signature, while Arsenal have also declared their interest in the playmaker. However, in something of a surprise, €40 million-rated Hazard intimated that Chelsea's Champions League success may see him transfer to Stamford Bridge instead.
When asked about joining Chelsea, Hazard told Canal+: "That's possible. But until I pen to paper I won't say where I'm going.
"Of course it makes you think as Chelsea have won the Champions League. They're a big team and will be playing in the Champions League next season. They have great players and I always said I wanted to be playing. I think there is the possibility to play as well.
"I still don't know [which club I will join] yet, otherwise I would have announced it today. Nothing is done yet but it will happen soon."
Hazard netted an impressive first-half hat-trick in a 4-1 victory over Nancy in his final game for Lille on Sunday to seal third place in Ligue 1. Manager Rudi Garcia heaped praise on the Belgium international after the triumph, and added further fuel to reports that Hazard is set to snub the Manchester clubs for a move to London.
"It was a lovely evening, we had a great send-off party for Eden," Garcia told RMC. "He still doesn't know where he's going. In the last few weeks he's changed his mind, I believe.
"Things will be great for him. He's going to be a great player. The best player in the league is leaving it. Eden is a unique player, a guy who's capable of rising to challenges. He will remain one of the best players in LOSC's history."
Hazard was named Ligue 1 Player of the Season last Monday, having scored 21 goals in all competitions.

Since capital punishment is an option, not a requirement, it should not be ended ("Death penalty repeal moves forward," March 14).
Instead, it should remain available for really heinous behavior — such as the Washington state man who was picked up by his grandparents on his release from prison, went to their house to celebrate and then murdered them both.
If not the death penalty what does such a person deserve?

Microsoft Research continues to evolve its Gazelle concept. "In this paper, we present ServiceOS, a platform that tightly integrates a multi-principal browsing architecture with the underlying OS. ServiceOS provides a centralized, fine-grained resource access control model, and uses recursive web-oriented algorithms for sharing system resources. ServiceOS also introduces new abstractions that allow a web service to explicitly allocate and manage resources for any helper services they embed (e.g., via iframes). A key challenge that ServiceOS solves is managing resources in the face of complex web service composition."

Next Meetup
What we're about
The Edmonton Film Meetup is a venue for film enthusiasts to share a common love for watching films of differing genres.
Effective October 1, 2014, all new members must have a clear solo picture of yourself with no hats nor sunglasses to hide from, fully clothed. Please use your real name, first name is fine, no initials only. If you are not willing to have a real identity, the Film Meetup is not for you. For safety reasons, members need to know who they will be going to the movies with. Also, do not promote company names or products on your profile. Do not post spam links to outside web sites or promotional contact info unless you are a sponsor or an organizer. Doing any of the above will get you removed.
As of January 1, 2016, new members are now given 3 months to attend their first meetup. This can be extended if we have less than 5 Film meetup events posted within the 3 month period. We find that new members who attend soon after joining is likely to attend future events. Please join if you are serious about attending a film meetup.
All members can be film meetup event organizers. Anyone of our members simply need to suggest a meetup idea which automatically becomes a meetup. All film meetup suggestions must have the following info:
Which film are you going to see? (please add a link for the film's description and trailer)
What is the date and time you want to see this film? (you must choose a date and time)
Where are you going to see this film and the meeting point? (choose a location)
How are people going to recognize you? (give location, holding a sign, how long, etc)
Please do not do a joint meetup without the approval because not all meetups and its members are compatible. Although there are many meetups with similar members, this does not mean that two or more groups would be a good blend. Please refrain from such activities unless you discuss it first with Rico, the Organizer for this meetup.
There is currently no meetup event fee as we currently have our main organizer paying for the Meetup.com fees of $250Cdn/year.
When you RSVP with a YES, please make sure you attend. If you cant make it, you just need to update your response. Or at worst, email the organizer that you can't make it... no reason is needed. However, lack of communication means a No Show. Please be prepared to be removed from the group if you are a No Show even once without an explanation. As long as you are not banned from the group, you can always re-add yourself. Please RSVP YES only if you can truly attend, not because you are wishing to attend. This way, the organizer knows how many members are truly going to attend. NO MAYBES ;) A last minute YES RSVP is better than a last-minute cancellation.
Lastly, please be active to remain as a member. After the initial 3 month rule for new members, all members must attend at least 1 film event every 6 months or they will be removed from the Film Meetup group regardless of your long standing status. This is your meetup group and so make sure to be an active member by attending meetups. Edmonton Film Meetup is only interested in having members who wants to be active instead of just thinking of attending.
Thank you for supporting the Edmonton Film Meetup!
