Poem by: Nessly305
Stagger Lee
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
Stagger Lee
He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old Stetson hat
Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
Stagger Lee
His woman threw him out in the ice and the snow
And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
Stagger Lee
So he walked though the rain an he walked through the mud
Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee
He said, "Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am"
And the barkeeper said, "No, I don't give a good goddamn"
To Stagger Lee
He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
I'm that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
Mr. Stagger Lee
Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
And I kick motherfucking asses like you everyday"
Mr Stagger Lee
Well, those were the last words that the barkeep said
'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head
Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town
She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
With Stagger Lee
She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
Stag said, "Well just count the holes in the motherfucker's head"
She said, "You look like you ain't scored in quite a time.
Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
Mr. Stagger Lee
"But there's something I have to say before you begin
You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
Stagger Lee"
"I'll stay here till Billy Dilly comes in, till time comes to pass
And furthermore I'll fuck Billy Dilly in his motherfucking ass"
Said Stagger Lee
"I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know
But I'll crawl over fifty good pussies just to get one fat boy's asshole"
Said Stagger Lee
Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and said, "You must be
That bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee"
Stagger Lee
"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And suck my dick, because if you don't you're sure to be dead"
Said Stagger Lee
Billy Dilly dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.

Very interesting, different from that of the norm. I liked.
Ok, yeah, hmmmm... I liked it up until it changed up on the story line, but I loved the rhythm, much liked the old story songs of way back... I could almost here it in tune with some gravelly old deep vocals to it...
Nice story, sounds like an old western, old english style poem but in todays english style.
it was something new..
Did you write this poem yourself or are you quoting it? Does it have any copyright do you know? I've seen this on a t-shirt is all....
You do know that this is a direct rip of lyrics from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' song 'Stagger Lee', from the album 'Murder Ballads' (itself taken from a 'toast poem' of the 1920s regarding a murder that took place in 1895), right? I mean, the 'Oh yeah' at the end is surely a dead giveaway that it's lifted from a pop song.
If it was something new then I'm just going to go ahead and register and publish this little sci-fi/fantasy novel I've been working on. It starts 'In the beginning, God created the heaven and the Earth, and the Earth was without form, and void'. It's got everything: drama, murder, romance, war, outlandish fantasy, philosophy. Kind of a depressing ending though; everyone in the entire world dies. But it is my own original work, I promise.
Wake up.
This is how the poem went as I recall it from my college days.
Lions and tigers are my mates.
Snakes and spiders my associates.
I've got a graveyard disposition and a tombstone mind cause I'm a mean motherfucker and I don't mind dying. I've got a 45 mounted on a 22 frame. Look under the trigger and you'll see my goddamned name. It shoots 10 times while you cock it and 69 times before you can stop it.
Back in '02 when time were hard, I wore a slouched down hat and drove a beat up Ford, and I was behind on the payments for my room and board. One night my wife kicked me out in the cold. I said, "What's the matter, honey?" She said, "Nothin, but your lovin's grown too bold. So I walked on down to Rampart Street where all us mean motherfuckers meet. I waded throough shit and I waded through mud till I come to a place called The Bucket of Blood. I walked in and asked the bartender for something to eat. He set before me a glass of muddy water and some tough ass meat. I said, "Say, motherfucker, you must not know who I am?" He said, "Frankly you son-of-a-bitch, I don't give a goddamn." I said, "You better step back so you can see, cause I'm that mean motherfucker they call Stagger Lee." He said, "Stagger Lee. I never heard of you before, and I've fed a thousand of you cocksuckers who have walked through that door." The next thing I knew he was behind the bar with his mind at ease and his body at rest - 69 holes in his motherfucking chest.
Then some bitch walked up and said, "May I see the bartender please?" I said, "Yeah. He's behind the bar with his mind at ease." She said, "His mind at ease, now what does that spell?" I said, Listen, Bitch, it means he's deader than hell."
She said, "You may be mean, and your name may be Stack, but you better not be here when that Bad Billy Lyons gets back." I said, "Listen here, Bitch. I'll be here for times to come and times to pass, and when that Bad Billy Lyons gets here, I'm gonna kill his motherfucking ass." Then I took her upstairs and we began to fuck. I drove it home like a ten ton truck. She wiggled around and cut a fart. I said, "What's the matter, Bitch?" She said, "Nothin. I'm just cummin, Sweetheart!"
Then we went downstairs and they were fuckin on the floor and fuckin on the bar, and then you could have heard the drop of a pin, cause that's when that Bad Billy Lyons walked in.
He said, "Who might the murderer of this good man be?"
I said, "That'd be me, motherfucker, I'm called Stagger Lee."
He said, "Stagger Lee. I done heard of you before, but you tore your ass when you fucked my whore!" Then some bitch jumped up and hollered, "Call the law!" I shot her through the motherfucking jaw. Another bitch jumped up and hollered, "Please!" I shot her trough the goddamned knees!" Then the lights went bright and I knew I'd done my very best, cause there lay Bad Billy Lyons on the floor with 69 holes in his motherfucking chest.
Next morning they had me up before the judge and twelve other men. Six of them wanted to hang me. Six wanted to give me the gas. The rest of that courtroom whated to shoot my motherfucking ass. The Judge said, Stagger Lee, you may be bad, and you may have no fears, but I'm sending yor ass up for 20 motherfucking years. I said, "Twenty years! Why, Judge, that ain't no time. Hell my father went to Angola when he was twenty-nine. You may think this is lot of shit and a lot of jive, but that mean motherfucker is still alive!
Great song. Both the original and the Nick Cave version.

There's nothing worse than buying a new car and realizing a couple of weeks later it is already filthy. Food and drinks get spilt, the dog rides with you, kids are sweaty when getting picked up from ball practice and then bam your car is dirty. By maintaining the appearance of the vehicle inside as well as out, you retain the value of the car, which will help you when it's time to trade it in. Here's a few tips on cleaning up your car.
1. Dilute coffee spills immediately with water and blot with a clean white terry cloth rag. If a stain remains after the spot dries, spray on a glass cleaner. Soak the area with the glass cleaner, allow to sit for five minutes, and blot. Glass cleaner cleans without leaving the soapy residue that most carpet spot removers do, which only attracts more dirt afterward. Glass cleaner is normally effective on even the most difficult stains. However, do not try this on your home carpet. Since most car carpet is olefin and can stand up to most anything it is ok to use it there, but most in home carpet is nylon and it will not work the same.
2. Hairspray will lift out pen ink stains on carpeting or upholstery. Spray the hairspray on the ink spot and blot with a rag or extract with a shop vac.
3. If carpeting begins to smell, sprinkle on 20-Mule Team Borax generously, then let it sit undisturbed for an hour before vacuuming up both dirt and unpleasant smells. If your dog rides with you a lot and you have fleas in your car, then put a second application of 20-Mule Team Borax on and leave it over night before vacuuming thoroughly and it will kill the fleas and their eggs.
4. Before your vehicle carpets begin to show excessive wear and tear, vacuum them just as you would at home. This will lift the fibers back upright and counteract the long-term ill effects of the dirt that's been pounded into it. Since over 70% of soil in carpet is dry soil, vacuuming is the best thing you can do for any carpet to prolong the life.
5. If you get shocked a lot getting out of your car there are several things you can do. You can wear an anti-static wrist band, rub the upholstery and carpet of your car with a dryer sheet, use an anti-static laundry spray or touch the metal on the door of the car with a key before you get out. However, these are mostly temporary fixes. So if the problem is bad enough you can go to your mechanic (Beckwith's Car Care) and get a grounding strap installed. Also, getting new tires on your car can eliminate you getting shocked when getting out of your car.

Curing Time Of Sealant
Whether it is hot-cured sealed or non-thermal curable sealant, it is the process of transformation from plastic to elastomer. The time to complete the conversion process is the curing time. Most of the sealant curing time is proportional to the temperature. General manufacturers of sealant of the curing time at about 15min. In the injection of sealant, to grasp the curing time, the higher the temperature, the faster the curing time; Sealant in the injection, if the curing time is too short, it is easy to occur early curing phenomenon, but also prone to fault phenomena, can not form a continuous whole. Sometimes it will be solidified in the glue gun, so that the injection of glue gun, column Sylar not come out. affect the whole injection process. Conversely, if the sealant at the injection temperature, the curing time is too long, then in the injection process is not cured, a good fluidity of the sealant will be pressure gun through the pressure, squeeze the sealing fixture, can not make the fixture full of curing, damage the process of filling.

2016 Nissan Maxima bows in New York
Getting its debut in New York, the new 2016 Nissan Maxima fulfilled a promise made two years ago when the automaker presented its "Sport Sedan Concept" at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. While toned down to meet reality, the striking midsize 4-door retains styling cues from the concept. Complementing the 2016 Maxima's distinctive looks are a redesigned platform and revised powertrain that contribute to this major overhaul of Nissan's flasgship sedan.
Intent on having the eighth generation Maxima serve as a halo vehicle showcasing design leadership, the visual transformation reflects an aggressive take on the company's evolving styling language, from its bold "V-motion" front fascia to its floating style C-pillar and distinctive LED-enhanced front/rear. Available in S, SV, SL, range-topping Platinum and a new sporty SR trim, the 2016 Maxima is 2.2 inches longer and 1.3 inches lower than the current car and fills its flared fenders with 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 245/45 tires that upgrade to 19-inch wheels with 245/40 rubber on the SR.
Also: The Class of 2015 -- New Vehicles Ready to Roll
Beneath its sleek skin, the 2016 Maxima has high-strength steel, which bumps torsional rigidity by 25 percent and contributes to an 82 pound drop in curb weight. This robust foundation anchors a retuned fully independent suspension that incorporates new monotube rear shocks while the new SR model gets tauter settings along with Active Ride Control and a new Performance Chassis Damper up front to quell high-frequency vibrations that accompany stiffer shock settings.
More power and economy
The engine in the 2016 Maxima is a heavily reworked version of Nissan's award-winning VQ35. With over 60 percent new components, output of the revised 3.5-liter V6 has been bumped from 290 to 300 horsepower while fuel economy has been upped by 15 percent. Backed by a new Xtronic CVT automatic equipped with a Sport setting and new D-Step shift logic, the engine is projected to deliver 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway - a 4 mpg gain. To further establish its "4-door Sports Car" positioning, Nissan also fitted the 2016 Maxima with a Drive Mode Selector with Normal/Sport choices that adjust throttle response, transmission mapping, steering effort and Active Sound Enhancement that adds aural excitement when Sport mode is engaged.
The passenger cabin of the 2016 Maxima has a design inspired by the cockpit of a fighter jet while featuring upscale touches -- and premium touchpoints -- found in luxury sedans. The Maxima has driver-focused control functionality along with comfort/convenience features. In addition to dual-zone climate control, a full array of power assists and Bluetooth phone/streaming audio are standard on the not-so-base S model. Other items include Nissan's power-activated "Zero Gravity" front seats with new softer but more supportive bolstering, a multi-mode 7.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display in the main instrument cluster, NissanConnect with standard navigation and an 8.0-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM/HD radio, keyless remote and cruise control.
Also: Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards of 2015
Moving up through the mono-spec Maxima model hierarchy adds leather in place of cloth upholstery, a Bose Premium Audio system with active noise cancellation, power assist for the tilt/telescope steering, heated/cooled seats, dual-panel moonroof, LED projector headlamps and enhanced Nissan Connect Services. Advanced safety touches on SL/SR models include Blind Spot Warning, Intelligent Cruise Control, Predictive Forward Collision Warning/Forward Emergency Braking and Rear Cross Traffic. Platinum models boast Moving Object Detection and Driver Attention Alert. The 2016 Nissan Maxima will be built at the automaker's assembly plant in Tennessee. Pricing will start at $33,235 when the car goes on sale this summer.

It was back in March, on Mother's Day, during a chilly walk through Eyam with Tristan asleep in his pram that I first talked about the fourth member of our family:
"Even though I'm incredibly happy right now I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something's missing. Someone is missing."
We talked about the pros and cons and hypothetical timelines, all the while knowing we weren't quite ready for another leap into chaos. So we left our words to hang in the cold air and went home, unaware then that just by talking about our child we'd conjured him or her into existence. Not literally of course, but in our thoughts, nestled at the foot of every conversation about the future.
You see, we hadn't thought we'd have another baby so soon after Tristan. The year following his birth was long and difficult and I had a lot to work through. We were happy, but it was the sort of happiness that's finely interwoven with other things like exhaustion and confusion, and a whole host of feelings that are too small and fleeting to identify but come together to weave the complicated lace of new parenthood.
And of course I wasn't well. The illness I had was what's generally considered 'invisible' but the dark circles under my eyes, the weight loss and gain, the tears, the anger, the apathy – they were far from hidden. I wondered for a long time whether I'd ever feel whole again, or at least fixed, but I soon realised that wholeness is a concept I left behind the moment I became a parent. My son takes pieces of me wherever he goes; part of my recovery was accepting that and even enjoying it.
This baby has a piece of me now. In some ways he or she has all of me while I feed, nourish, and keep them safe.
So much feels different this time – the debilitating sickness for a start. Yet one striking similarity was the speed with which we conceived. From a decisive agreement to start trying in July to staring at the second pink line on a pregnancy test was a total of 2.5 weeks. Like with Tristan there was hardly time to pause for breath before we were catapulted back into the familiar spiral of dates, sickness and food-aversion. We're very, very lucky and I'm grateful every day for our fortune, but a downside of that luck is the sudden change of pace and direction, seemingly out of the blue. It's like we set off an explosion in the relative tranquility of our lives and only afterwards realised what it meant. I spent the week after the positive test in a state of shock, peeing on sticks day after day to be absolutely certain.
The hows and whys aren't what matter though, not really. The fact is that I'm growing another life, and looking at my sleeping son right now I'm overwhelmed by the thought of there soon being two human beings to love this much. It's terrifying and I know there'll be days when I think I can't do it. I wonder if I'm strong enough, if truly there is enough of me to adequately nurture two little lives into fully grown awesomeness. Yes I'm scared, in some ways more than I've ever been, but what holds me together, what keeps me from collapsing under the weight of so much uncertainty and doubt, is the knowledge that in four short months I'll meet a person who will change me in ways I could never anticipate. He or she will challenge me, inspire me, worry me, and educate me, and I will try to spend every day showing my gratitude for it.
I've already had my world turned upside down once before. Now it's about to happen again I know to hold on, and most of all to appreciate every single second.

Gwen Stefani Expecting a Baby Boy
Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale are expecting their third baby boy
Gwen Stefani has been pretty quiet about her pregnancy with husband Gavin Rossdale, as she's only really opened up about it in one interview. Stefani, who is about seven months pregnant, hasn't even mentioned her baby on the way on social media—until now. Stefani has announced that she and Rossdale, who fronts the band Bush, are expecting their third son.
The No Doubt frontman dropped the news via her new Instagram account, where she posted a photo of herself with a crown on her head and captioned the pic, "I was ready to hand over the crown. but I guess I am still queen of the house." She included the hashtags "#itsaboy" and "#surroundedbyboys," just to make sure there was no confusion.
This week, Stefani, 44, went one step further and posted a photo on her official Twitter account of her sporting a baby bump. She captioned the tweet, "'bump it #allblack #inappropriateshoes #capturethemoment #miracle"
Stefani and Rossdale's other children include sons Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 5.
In other news, the singer recently announced a new line of clothing: DWP, which stands for Design with Purpose. She is launching the line in collaboration with Michael Glasser, who co-founded 7 for All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity.

Table Tennis Lessons for Beginner
Are you a beginner table tennis player without a coach?
I can help!
Course content
I coach a lot of beginners. It's one of the things I enjoy doing most. There is something very rewarding about helping someone with limited experience develop into a great table tennis player.
I've put all my knowledge and experience of coaching beginners in this video course.
In the first section, I explain the best way to hold a table tennis bat, the best way to stand and the best way to move.
In the section section, I explain how to play the four basic table tennis strokes – a forehand drive, a backhand drive, a forehand push and a backhand push.
I also demonstrate 21 training drills you can do, which will help you improve.
The course is full of useful tips and common mistakes to avoid.
Course length
The course is 60 minutes. It's available on-demand, so you can learn at your own pace, on your own time, and on any device.
Course cost
The cost is $25, which is roughly the cost of a 1-to-1 coaching session. The difference is you can watch the video lessons again and again and again!
This course is hosted on Udemy.com. When you sign up you will get lifetime access to the course.
Not sure? Take a look at some reviews…
"Really good course. I have been playing table tennis for a little while, but have never had any coaching, so still consider myself to be a beginner, although I can beat my friends! This course has definitely helped me work out what I need to do to improve – like holding the bat correctly and changing the way I stand! I'm ok with my backhand, but my forehand sucks – but now I know what to do. Coach Tom gives very clear instructions which are easy to follow. Highly recommend." – Tom Jones, August 2015
"I learnt loads in this course and now know how to do the basics shots. I've noticed an improvement when I play, but now got to practice loads. Lessons are very easy to understand and Tom shows some useful training drills to do." – Sarah Evans, September 2015

Florida law authorizes the city to charge for the production of documents deemed to be public records. Providing more than a few documents for free, however, places a financial burden on the city that necessitates charging statutorily-authorized fees.
In light of the extremely high volume of requests, and due to current budget restraints, a standardized policy regarding the processing of public records and the related statutory fees is necessary. Outlined below is the city policy for providing copies of public records to a member of the public or the media.
Typically, public documents fall into two categories-- hard copy documents and electronically-stored information. If a request includes a combination of both hard-copy and electronic documents, the processing cost will include both components.
IMPORTANT: The City of Jacksonville Information Technology Department (ITD) is budgeted as an Internal Service Fund. An Internal Service Fund is a fund used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department to other departments or agencies of the city, other governments or by the requester, on a reimbursable basis. In short, every action taken by ITD must be paid for by the organization or individual utilizing that service. Therefore, all electronic data will be provided utilizing prescribed costs outlined by ITD, which accounts for the actual cost of performing that service.

After a few years of painting, some things just seem to become second nature. I really wanted to make sure I understood what I was doing and why. So I've been doing a little studying, well a lot of studying of color. So, I'm introducing a new workshop I'm calling "Color Confidence", because that's what we really want. We don't want to be stumbling around in the dark, we to see what we're doing! Slow to get this on my website, but if you want a spot, shoot me an email and I'll put you on the list!

Senator Roy Ashburn (R-CA) has just been arrested for suspicion of DUI near the state capitol.
According to CHP, Senator Ashburn was spotted driving erratically at about 2:00am and was stopped by an officer.
He was arrested after being given a field sobriety test and was taken to Sacramento County Jail where he was given a BAC test.
After the test, he was booked and released.
CHP has also put the hush-hush on the result of Senator Ashburn's BAC test.
You just have to wonder, will he plead no-contest or will they spin this so that he wouldn't get a conviction?
And if he is convicted, what types of penalties will be given to him?
I am pretty sure that the punishment will be like a slap in the wrist.
Aside from being a senator, this is also only his first DUI (am I right?).
If convicted, I would expect the senator to get a fine, some very light community work, and about 3 years probation.
Oh and the token alcohol education classes.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on yesterday's TTT blog entry! Some of you had questions about the items in the pic, so I'll talk a little about those items.
The shuttles are wood & are made by Georgia Seitz. Georgia's contact info is on her online tatting class:
I don't know how others find out about when her shuttles are available. I'm in the online classes & received an email with pics of shuttles that were available. You may be able to get that info by emailing here (see the link.)
The thread winders. Well, that was me making do with what I could find. I went to Hobby Lobby, & in their wood crafts section, they have all types of wood cut-outs. I found these nicely, already painted snowflakes. They're the perfect size for a 50 yd skein of HDT, & they're nice for winding off those leftover threads that you just don't want to throw away. I found some rub-on transfers & used them on a couple of the snowflakes.
The little hook came in a set of 3 from lacis.com, & handyhandstatting.com carries them as well. I use the smallest of the three most often, so I attached a chain to it & this pretty mother of pearl ring. The ring came from silverneedle.com. If you haven't been to that site, it's a must visit!! On the left side of the home page choose Product Lines, then Accessories, Gifts & Gadgets. Have fun!!
The tea cup. I'm collecting tea cups for my granddaughter. Hobby Lobby had flower tea cups one year, so every time I went to Hobby Lobby, I picked up a different flower tea cup. They're all so cute!

Quicksearch [1] unites several search services under one discovery interface.
The services initially targeted for this discovery interface include:
Please send all your questions, comments, and other feedback [5] [6]on any aspect of the Quicksearch.
Enter a search in Quicksearch to search across Orbis, Morris and Articles+. You will probably get a very large set of results, only 20 of which will be displayed (10 from Books+ and 10 from Articles).
You can quickly scan the list of results. If any result looks interesting, click on that result and you will see details.
Tip: Only a small set is displayed in Quicksearch. Use See XXX Results to look at more results.
To see results from Orbis and Morris, with no Articles+ results, click on the indicator to "see xxx results."
After this selection you will see only the results from Books+. Facets and other functionality will now be available.
You can do the same thing for Articles+.
Advanced Search
You will find the Advanced Search link to the right of the search box when you are in Books+ [7]. Sample screen illustrates the location of the Advanced Search link.
This powerful search engine brings a new level of sophistication to searching Books+, and has features that are not available in Orbis or Morris.
In Advanced Search, you can
You may also limit on the opening search screen by
After searching, click on Modify Search to edit your search.
Searching for Multiple Terms
When a search uses three or more clauses, therefore, some of the results will contain most but not all of the clauses entered.
Boolean Searching
So the assumption is that a search for:
"Title:data or Title:numeric and Title: Python" means
(Title: data or Title: numeric) and Title: Python
"All Fields: modern AND Title: poesia AND Subject: portugal OR All Fields: brazil" means
(Allfields: modern OR All fields: brazil) AND Title: poesia and Subject: Portugal
It is easy to see a list of every item in the Yale Library collection.
In Books+ [8] simply click on the search button, with no search terms. There are millions of items, so you'll probably want to limit to some smaller set. Use the facets on the left to select sets of books you are interested in. For example,
In Books+ and Articles+ you can create and save lists of records for use later.
Tip: Login first before trying to save records.
To create and save lists of records you will
Tip: You can create lists of books and articles by creating a list and putting material from Books+ and Articles+ in it.
The bookbag and other lists are available under Saved Lists in the top level menu in the blue bar at the top of the screen. You must login first to access saved lists.
Once you've gone to the Saved Lists, you'll see your Bookbag and other lists you may have created.
To make a new list from Bookbag items. Select items again using the check boxes.
Save them to a new list by using the Copy Selected Items pulldown menu.
Give the list a new name and click on Submit.
Quicksearch provides facets as a way to get to specific material. Understanding facets and how they work will help you get the most functionality out of Quicksearch. Facets are categories of results and are listed under Refine on the left side of results. Individual facet values are the metadata in records.
Hint: When you expand a facet (click on the +) only the top 5 most common results will display. To see all facet values select See more at the bottom of the list.
You may choose one or multiple facets by clicking on a value. When you select multiple values within a category, the search is very restrictive (an AND). After selecting more than one facet value within format, for example, you will see that those values are listed at the top of the search with the term All Of displayed before them. The image below shows a search for Human Rights limited to both of the facet values Books and Online.
That search shows 7802 results. You can make the set bigger with all the books plus all the online material by changing All Of to Any Of, which produces 37,707 results.
The Find Databases list, a list of database titles, is now part of Quicksearch, with the heading Databases: http://search.library.yale.edu/databases [9]
The catalog records that make up this list are a subset of Books+, so all of the resources that appear here are also discoverable through more general searches in Books+.
From the Database List, you can search multiple ways:
The hundreds of databases the library subscribes to include collections of e-journals and e-books, primary sources, image, sound and video collections, and abstract and indexing services.
Robust cataloging makes it possible to search on both current and former titles. Within a list of search results, you may limit to a language, subject, or LC Classification letter.
Not finding what you need within the Database list? You can easily toggle over to Books+ and run a search across the full catalog.
Quicksearch allows you to search for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) materials by the original scripts and romanized forms. The Yale University Library follows the ALA-LC Romanization Tables [10] to romanize CJK scripts. For more information about searching by romanized form, go to https://guides.library.yale.edu/cjk-romanization/ [11]
Searching in CJK scripts is as easy as searching in other scripts. You can also search in a combination of CJK scripts and English. Follow the Quicksearch Search Tips [12] and search away.
To maximize the discovery of Japanese materials, Hiragana characters and Katakana characters are normalized and inter-searchable in Book+. The same number of results will return no matter which character is used.
Search for "Japan" in Hiragana: 250 results
Search for "Japan" in Katakana: 250 results
To maximize the discovery of CJK materials, Han character variants (simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja) are normalized and inter-searchable in Book+.
Search for "Mao Zedong" in simplified Chinese: 2106 results
Search for "Mao Zedong" in traditional Chinese: 2106 results
Search for "Mao Zedong" in Japanese kanji: 2106 results
When the search returns a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Korean language records, you can narrow down to specific language materials using the language facet.
Currently users must go to Orbis or Morris to order library materials. When you find a record you are interested in, select Services/Request in Orbis (or Morris) to find the Orbis (Morris) record and order the material. The image below shows an example record with the Services drop down selected.
Quicksearch was built in collaboration with other university libraries, particularly Columbia University, using the open source system Blacklight. It is based on a SOLR index and uses the Ruby on Rails framework . If you are interested in the technical details the project pages [13] on Github have a good overview.

Matt Badiali says he knows how it is nowadays where someone comes along and tries to push yet another investment scam on you. He has seen many of these over the years during his time in the finance industry. The usual pitch they make is that you can work just a couple hours a week on something and make incredible amounts of money from it. These scams usually involve binary-options trading or yet another life-changing opportunity in the multi-level marketing industry.
What this type of climate has created is one where people will recoil even from perfectly valid business ventures, he says. He knows this first-hand because he introduced Freedom Checks and they sounded so good many people assumed they were just another scam. Matt Badiali, whose background is in geology and finance, says that he can vouch for them because they're real and something created by the United States Congress.
His educational background is rooted in science. He first attended Penn State University after finishing high school, earning a degree in earth science in 1992. After working for a few years as a geologist he went back to school and graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2000 with a master's in earth science. He pursued a doctorate in this subject but dropped it in order to enter the financial industry.
He found out about Freedom Checks from a well-known financial advisor. What he found out was that in 1987 Congress wanted to boost the domestic production of oil and gas. America was far too dependent on foreign sources and it was a huge national security risk. They passed the 26-F Statute which enabled some oil & gas firms to reorganize as a Master Limited Partnership (MLP).
Matt Badiali says how this works is that any organization that wants to be an MLP needs to derive 90 percent of their income from drilling, producing, or transporting these natural resources. The oil & natural gas must be sourced in America. Once they are an MLP the federal government requires that they return 90 percent of their profits to people who own their stocks. Matt Badiali says owning these stocks is extremely lucrative.

CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. - Matt Ward, an outspoken member of the Charles Town City Council who has pushed to revitalize the downtown area and redevelop old commercial areas in the city, has proposed the formation of a new organization of city residents that will formulate its own agenda about the most important issues in town.
Ward's idea drew criticism from one city council member who said Ward is "completely out of order."
In an eight-page letter Ward distributed to at least 150 people, Ward said the Charles Town Rising Suns group will meet at least on a quarterly basis and will be made up of people from other community organizations such as the Charles Town-Ranson Merchants Association, the Jefferson County NAACP and the Jefferson County Sports Alliance.
Ward said in the letter that it will be up to members of the Charles Town Rising Suns to determine what type of agenda they want for the town, but he offered some possible suggestions:

Clayton Conversations:February 26, 2017
1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Ride a trail of history that travels from the first bicycle invented through the development of bicycling in the 1800s and to the sport today that is blazing trails in both communities and individuals' lives. The Clayton House welcomes speakers representing the past, present and future of bicycling for this program that will both entertain and inspire. Sharing 2-wheel history from the wooden "swiftwalker" (1817) to the "velocipede" (it had pedals but was known as the "boneshaker"), to the High Wheel (1871), the Rover (1885, with an adjustable seat!) and beyond is Cris Slaymaker, education outreach speaker from the Old Statehouse Museum in Little Rock. This state history museum held an exhibit in 2016 called "Different Spokes" and is sharing it resources, including a display that will be at the Clayton House for the month of February. Taking the handle bars next in this hour-long program will be Josh Carroll, ambassador for the trail-blazing bicycle shop Phat Tire. Founded in Bentonville by young cyclists who want to make their communities "cool and healthy," Phat Tire now has three locations in Northwest Arkansas, one in Fort Smith (opened in 2014), and two new stores in Tulsa. Josh will provide an explanation for novices of what kind of bikes are available for the variety of riders and surfaces today. Enjoy an exhibit of bikes and bike history beginning at 1:00 p.m. preceding the 1:30 p.m. presentation. The program wraps up with an update by Drew Linder, committee chair of Trails and Greenways in Fort Smith. Learn about our area's current and future trails, and then, get on your bike and ride!

New Sabah Times
KOTA KINABALU: Heads are set to roll as the Sabah Football Association (SFA) gets the ball rolling in preparing the team for the new season.
SFA Secretary General Alijus Hj Sipil said they already have the names of players who are to be retained or otherwise from the current squad.
However, Alijus said it is inappropriate to reveal any names as all the players are still under contract with the SFA.
"The names will only be announced to the media when the time is right.
We want to make sure that contracts with all the players are respected. Any termination or extension of contracts will be done professionally," said Alijus yesterday.
According to Alijus, they had conducted a team management meeting that was chaired by chairman Datuk Osman Jamal, who is also the SFA Vice President I, yesterday.
During the meeting, he said, the main agenda discussed was a report from their new coach Seslija Milomir.
"We have received a report from our new head coach (Milomir) pertaining to the forming of the State team for the new season that includes selection of players, selection of fitness coach as well as our pre-season preparations.
In the report, Alijus said Milomir also submitted the list of players whose contracts will not be renewed from the current squad.
"This include local players, local imports and foreign imports," said Alijus.
"We have also decided to give him (Milomir) a full mandate in looking for suitable players for the team.
For the record, in the just concluded season, SFA hired eight local imports and two foreign.
The eight are goalkeepers Shahril Sa'ari, Syamsuri Mustapha, defenders Shahril Faizal, Wan Azwari wan Noor, Hafizulldin Mohd Noor, midfielder Mohd Fazilidin Khalid and strikers Khairul Izwan Khalid and Wan Mohd Aliff Wan Jasmi.
The two foreign players are Malian Koh Traore, who emerged as the team's top scorer with 25 goals, including one in the FA Cup, and midfielder Abdelfateh Safi, who signed to replace the crocked Englishman Rhys Weston midway through the season.
The local players are Irwan Jamil, Rosdin Wasli, Sumardi Hajalan, Alto Linus, Hardy Charles Parsi, Razid Gapar, Shahrul Azhar Ture, Julamri Muhammad, Shahrudin Yakup, Radzi Hussin, Mohd Farid Saibun, Mohd Ibnu Kassim, Zainizam Marjan, Jufrey Omopor and Leopold Alfonso Otong.
The likes of Didie Arizal Ibrahim, Dendy Lowa, Sabri Sahar, Zul Mansshah Aling, and Rexjeson Pitirus, all from the President's Cup squad also featured for the team occasionally.

Dear Heloise: I read a recent article in your column on world travel hints, and I have a few I want to add:
Notify your credit-card company. Before you travel abroad, call your credit-card company/companies for the cards you plan to use. Let them know the countries and the dates you plan to be gone. A couple of the companies gave me a number to call while I was in Europe in case there were any problems using the cards. I also called them when I got back.
Cellular phones that work in the United States might not work in foreign countries. You might consider getting a special cell phone or an international plan to use.
Another option is to purchase a prepaid international telephone card so that you can make international calls. I called the 800 number on the back to find out the local access number for the three countries I went to. One of the countries did not have service for the card purchased, but at least I knew that in advance.
It is nice to save a small amount of foreign currency from one trip until the next so that you are prepared to make telephone calls, take a cab or purchase a soft drink while in transit.
If you are concerned about pickpockets, take along some large safety pins! Use one to pin paper money to the inside of your pocket, and another to pin the pocket closed. Don't carry a lot of cash or valuables, and keep your passport and travel documents in a safety pouch (around your neck, inside your clothing, in a money belt, etc.). - J. Lorette, McGaheysville, Va.
Dear J. Lorette: Very wise suggestions. Make photocopies of passports, tickets and credit cards to leave with a trusted person in case these are stolen! - Heloise
Dear Heloise: In order to have quarters handy for tolls and parking, I keep a film canister filled with quarters in my car. The quarters fit perfectly in the canister. No more scrambling for coins at the last minute. - Barbara Schoeberl, Silver Spring, Md.
Send hints to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, email@example.com or fax to 210-435-6473.

Simply Phenomenal
We spent a week with our family at the Chiesa del Carmine from June 27th to July 4th, 2015, to celebrate our symbolic wedding on July 2nd, for 30 of our close friends and family. Two words describe our experience – simply phenomenal!! From the moment we arrived and were warmly and professionally greeted by Chrissie, the property manager, we knew we'd made an excellent choice. This was further reinforced when we were given a tour of the farm house and grounds. The property has beautifully manicured gardens, a sparkling swimming pool, stunning vistas, superb accommodations, a well-appointed kitchen, and excellent locations for al fresco dining along with warm and comfortable common areas for gathering with loved ones. The pictures on the website truly reflect what the property is! The Chiesa is also an impressive venue to host a wedding. While we're sure it can accommodate well over 50 guests, it was very comfortable for our group. Our ceremony was held in the Chiesa and thereafter, aperitifs, appetizers and a five course meal, which was superbly prepared, presented and served under beautiful azure Umbrian skies. Our night finished with dancing into the wee hours. It was a fabulous event and one we will remember for a lifetime. Perhaps in ten years we'll all gather again to celebrate – although we'd actually love to do it annually!! We unreservedly recommend the Chiesa for anyone with discriminating tastes and high expectations.
Melody and Phil Atrill, Toronto, Canada September 2015
Perfect Wedding
It was September 2013 when we chose this as our wedding venue having fallen in love with the place as soon as we saw it and, a year on, it was even more spectacular for our special day itself as the gardens had matured so beautifully. We wanted our wedding to be a small intimate affair with just our closest family and friends (c25-30 people) and Carmine was perfect. With 8 rooms it was large enough to house our immediate family for the week and our remaining guests stayed in either Casa San Gabriel (with Chrissie and David who manage Carmine) or Castello Valenzino which are both within a 1km or so. As the weather on the wedding day (Tues 2nd) looked a little unpredictable we decided to have the wedding breakfast in the church rather than our original plan of dining outside but in the end we were so glad that we did. The table setting looked amazing thanks to our wonderful wedding planner, Sarah, and the beautiful church just helped create the perfect atmosphere. Almost every single one of our guests commented that the food was by far the best that they had ever tasted at a wedding – in fact one was upset that she was only able to sample 4 of the desserts due to being so full! The magician that Sarah organised was brilliant, providing wonderful entertainment during the meal, and the after dinner music was enjoyed by everyone and went on until 4:00 in the morning. I think what we enjoyed most was that all of our guests were able to chat with each other due to the small numbers, as were we as the bride and groom without it being forced and feeling like we had to go and spend time with particular people. At one point every single person was one the dancefloor and that is certainly a rare sight at a wedding! On top of our wonderful wedding day we also had an excellent week of activities all expertly organised by Chrissie and David. On the Saturday night Alessandra came in and cooked for us, which was very welcome after a day of travelling, and on the Sunday night we had a wine tasting evening with antipasti which was enjoyed by all. On the Monday the boys played golf at a local course and had a meal in the clubhouse restaurant and the girls had a day at the villa and finally on the day after the wedding we had Alessandra return once more to prepare a sumptuous BBQ for us. Chrissie and David couldn't have done more to make our whole week special both whilst we were there and in the 12 months leading up to the event. I think that the biggest compliment I could pay them is that we were delighted that they were able to attend our wedding as guests because they have become true friends to us over the past year. We can't wait to go back to Carmine at some point as it has given us memories for a lifetime.

We had the most incredible wedding and stay at Chiesa Del Carmine
This is the 3rd visit we have made to Chiesa Del Carmine since first going to view it in October 2013 as a potential wedding venue – we hope it definitely won't be our last! When planning our wedding, we wanted to find somewhere that felt like we were having a big party at home (albeit a much pimper home than our own!). Chiesa Del Carmine ticked all the right boxes and many more! This is the most idyllic and tranquil place in the beautiful Umbrian countryside (even when there is a wedding party going on until 5 in the morning!). The views are breathtaking and there is so much space that you can lose yourself from the rest of the group but also all be together in the cleverly arranged seating areas (which all seat at least 14). The interior is as beautiful as the exterior, nothing too fussy but all decor executed to the highest quality and comfort (especially the beds and bathrooms!). What makes Chiesa Del Carmine extra special is the wonderful team that manages and runs the property. From our first visit until the actual event 8 months later – Chrissie and David (the managers and now our friends) have been on hand to answer all questions and have come up with solutions to everything we/ our wedding party and the weather threw at them (their response time is second to none!). They were around for our entire stay and made a typically stressful occasion entirely stress free! Liliana, Alessandra, Luciano and the rest of the "dream team" also need a special mention for their hard work – cleaning, cooking, babysitting, heavy moving! They are all incredibly professional, discreet, friendly and nothing is too much trouble! We have so many wonderful memories of our wedding and it wouldn't have been the same anywhere other than Chiesa Del Carmine. We hope we can bring our family back in the years to come.

Been a bit slack in the blogging this week.... been busy at work and then out to dinner on Friday night. Early anniversary dinner. Our 35th anniversary on Monday 21st... but more about that later.
Anyway, I'm taking part in an ATC swap over on the Hero Arts Flickr group and have been working on my ATC to swap with Lucille. I won't share until I know she has them but with one of the themes over at Hero Arts blog this month being ATC's, I decided to make an extra one with some scraps sitting on my desk.
The piece of My Mind's Eye patterned paper was left over from this card and seem just perfect for the size. I cut it a bit smaller and layered onto black and then onto the ATC base I had sitting on my desk. I added some faux stitching and some butterflies from the reverse side of the PP.
So was looking at my ATC and thought it would look good on a card.
So I got out my embossing folder and did a background. I sponged distress inks onto the card ~ Pine Needles, Wild Honey and Frayed Burlap. I then spritzed it with gold Perfect Pearls water. That gave a really neat splotchy look.
I cut some red card stock ( from a Christmas pack from American Crafts that I got on sale this week) layered onto black. Once I pop dotted the ATC I added the pearls and gems. Have to say I am pleased with the final product. ( And I made a second identical ATC to pop with the ones I'm sending to Lucille~ a bonus ATC so to speak!)
And now why we celebrated the Anniversary early.........Hubby is away for a few days on business... lucky beggar got to fly to Singapore and because of the flights had to leave Saturday. He gets to have a day being a tourist then business Mon- Thurs, catching a late flight on Thurs evening getting back here mid afternoon on Friday afternoon.... so I get a few nights off having to cook a full meal... salads for me!!!! And time in the craft room without feeling guilty of neglecting him!!!! Oh and control of the remote.... A few cards made already.
