Scholarly Search and Resources

UCR, a California University offers an excellent Search Engine.INFOMINE, for research.  There is an excellent Adobe PDF report compilled by Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A., Executive Director -- Virtual Private Library entitled:  "An Internet MiniGuide Annotated Link Compilation."  This document has links not only to search engines, but to search with results yielding scholarly articles not generally available in the traditional search engines we use every day.
There is the "Academic Search Engine Colossus" with a hefty list of search engines with criteria for various disciplines.
Naturally, you can get the Wikipedia article "List of academic databases and search engines". 
And, here is an About.com portal to Curriculum Resources:

Microsoft has a Windows Live scholarly search engine.  
From the UK, there is "The Big Search Engine Index".  These European Resources are an Excellent Resource for Freshmen, for instance, to apprise them to think more globally in their studies.

There is another PDF document:  "Academic Search Engine Optimization (ASEO): Optimizing Scholarly Literature for Google Scholar & Co." that has important information on setting criteria, Academic Search Engine Optimization (ASEO), becoming aware of the metadata of electronic files etc.
Beaucoup! search engine is an auspicious search engine for erudite minds.
One of the most obvious, of course if Google Scholar -- still in a beta state.
The Academic Index is a formidable meta search resource.
WorldCat connects you to the collections and services of more than 10,000 libraries worldwide.
An excellent report on Internet Search Engines which may be available to you:  ACADEMICINFO.  
This is just a blog.  Academic Search Engines and criteria is a PhD dissertation in and of itself -- but I hope I have provided, perhaps some resources, of which you may not have been aware.

Kewl! Air Conditioners

Getting Your Air Conditioner Ready for Summer By Sandor Nagyszalanczy Most of us don't give our air conditioners a thought till that first hot, insufferably humid day. But with a little cleaning and maintenance beforehand, you'll be sitting cool when everyone else is lugging their AC to the repair shop. Moreover, an annual inspection and cleaning ensures lower operating costs and a longer life for your cooling equipment, whether it's a central air conditioner or a window- or wall-mounted room unit. Room Air Conditioners You can leave room units in place all year long and cover them when they're not in use, but they'll last longer if you remove and store them during the cool season. Before you reinstall a room air conditioner in its window opening, inspect and clean the cooling fins and coils on its outside exhaust surface. (The unit should have an access panel you can remove to clean them; consult your owner's manual for instructions.) Because ...

Check out http://tispaquin.blogspot.com/2009/05/planting-baby-ferns-in-your-yard.html where more fern information is available. Plant some strawberries, rhubarb, sage, in amongst the garden path.  Place a bench surrounded by at least ten different yet coordinated species.  Even amongst every-day plants like Hostas -- strive for at least three distinguishable varieties.

Sometimes, I find an article or a page that is just so good, I can't go any further.  And, so in this Holiday Weekend, I am referring you to a site I found.  :  http://www.emmitsburg.net/gardens/articles/frederick/2005/spring_chores.htm Early Spring Garden Chores Annette Ipsan Frederick County Master Gardener Program All of us are anxious to see bulbs sprouting, buds unfurling and color splashed throughout the garden. And yes, even though it is a bit early to get your hands in the dirt, there is plenty you can do to gear up for the gardening season. March is a great month for trimming and tidying. Now is when you should cut back your ornamental grasses. Hand pruners do a good job on smaller clumps, but hedge trimmers are handy for larger clumps. Hold or tie the old growth with twine and ...
