( view more ) [ View All Blog Entries ] About jamiebrownjazz Jamie's story begins in 1970 in a small town in northern Japan named Misawa. It was here that he was born of Maureen Miller and Airman Tom Brown both from Union Grove, Wisconsin. Shortly after entering the world Jamie began to travel it. By age one he and the family had moved to San Vito, Italy and then to Racine, Wisconsin. By 1974 the family had picked up and moved on again. This time would be a six year trek to Great Britain. While in school in the small village of Burton Leonard, North Yorkshire Jamie followed suit with most of the children in the British school system by learning to play his first instrument, the recorder. Later, when he was about eight Jamie was introduced to the drums. Again in school. This time he was offered free drum or guitar lessons, and although it never materialized the bug had been caught. In 1980 he moved back to Wisconsin with his mother and spent time in the California bay area with his father. It was in the small rural town of Shawano, Wisconsin that Jamie was finally able to purchase his first guitar from a dime store on Green Bay Street at age 12. The first song learned... Iron Man (Black Sabbath). In 1983 Jamie's father moved to Annapolis, Maryland and in 1985 Jamie followed. Here he met up with musical friends and began the long years of high school garage bands. It was also during this period that he met drummer Mike Snyder who recorded on brown'stone with Jamie. Great years of big hair and rock-n-roll. In 1989 Jamie made the unexpected move of joining the Army. During his four years in uniform he played with several rock bands in Georgia, Oklahoma and Germany, culminating in the fall of 1992 after a year in the Middle East with a selection to the All-Army Soldiers Show Band. His first national tour followed. In 1993 Jamie returned to Annapolis and got busy with life. Unfortunately life would eventually take over and for six years Jamie did not play. After bouncing around Maryland for a few years Jamie headed out west. He arrived in the Phoenix area on May 12, 1996 and has been there since. Jamie picked up the guitar again in 2000 and began the tough road of learning to be a musician again. This time however he did not find himself in a rock-n-roll kind of a mood. In late 2000 he wrote his first song in almost a decade. It was also the first song that was not rock. That song was named Riviera and is the eighth track on Jamie's debut release, brown'stone. From there Jamie found his new groove in the Smooth Jazz world. In 2003 the most significant event to happen in Jamie's musical world happened. He met his new neighbor. A man who had toured with the likes of Marc Anthony and Gladys Knight and had worked with almost every big name in Smooth Jazz. Mel Brown became one of his best friends as well as a musical mentor. One short year later Jamie did what he never dreamed possible. He released his debut album consisting of all original material. Jamie Brown's Friend Space Jamie Brown has 181 friends.

Suggest a link Recommend to friend Create a site Thursday, June 30, 2005 VOTE FOR ME NEW SKIN Untitled Here's my latest: retro, colorful, abstract and without a title. Complete with neat rollovers! SMILIES OR SKIN NOT WORKING? If you've been using one of my smiley sets or one of the following skins: Travel or Let Her Fly , you may have woken up to an ugly mess or numbers on your Xanga. It appears that Xanga has blocked php encrypted codes which is the method I've been using. Fortunately for us, I've found a solution and have replaced all my old encrypted codes with new working codes using a different encryption method. Now you just have to go back and remove the old scrambled code with the new codes I've provided. For further information and instruction on how to fix this, refer to Sherry Vu's Xanga . I apologize for the inconvience. BROKEN/SLOW LOADING IMAGES? If you're experiencing slow loading or broken images within your skins, smilies, eprop icons or this Xanga site, it is because the Xangans server that my images are hosted on is either undergoing maintenance or experiencing problems or downtime. Please be patient as things will be back to normal soon. Thank you. 2:24 PM - 560 eprops - 315 comments - email it Sunday, June 26, 2005 VOTE FOR ME NEW SKINS fortheloveofHIPHOP This sleek and simple skin serves as my very own personal ode to hip-hop music. It features hip-hop classics from KRS-One, Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, and Eric B. & Rakim. Only for the real hip-hop heads out there! Decayed Thoughts In contrast to the previous skin, this one is dirty, grungy, and dark. BROKEN LINKS, MUSIC, ETC. HAS BEEN FIXED As you may or may not have noticed, there have been a few problems with the site while I was away. Some of the links on the right were broken, the music wasn't working, images were broken, blazay blazay blah but it's all been fixed now. Meaning eprops, cursors, smilies are back! MORE SOON I know I haven't been updating as much as used to but things have been rather hectic with work, my promotion as admin at both Createblog and CliqueMB , summer break, and my new found freedom as a single girl. And of course, with that freedom comes a lot of drama. So I've found myself to be more busy than usual and I just haven't had the time to work on any new goodies for you guys. Just bear with me, I will try to release new stuff periodically. 4:37 PM - 180 eprops - 92 comments - email it Wednesday, May 04, 2005 VOTE FOR ME I'M BACK...

Merge duplicate records from multiple databases. Create a list of favorite resources. Store personal searches for future use and set up e-mail alerts. Link to individual resources for more advanced searching. Link to full text and other options using Who can use SuperSearch? How do I login? SuperSearch is available to all students, faculty and staff. On-campus or off-campus access to all Stout users is available by logging into SuperSearch using a Stout e-mail username and password. In the PDS-Patron Directory Services window, type in your Stout e-mail username (User ID) and password. For Institution, click on the down arrow in the pull down menu, highlight UW-Stout and click on Login. The Custom Search screen will appear. What resources are available in SuperSearch? SuperSearch provides access to a variety of online resources including journal/periodical databases, journal/periodical articles, dictionaries, library catalogs, encyclopedias, etc. Many of the databases are full text. Quick Search : Click on Quick Search to perform a Google-like search on multiple databases. The QuickSearch indexes include Academic Search Elite (EBSCO), Masterfile Premier (EBSCO), Omnifile FT Mega (Wilson) and the UW-Stout Catalog. Two other Quick Search sets are available for searching the UW System libraries simultaneously. Custom Search : Click on Custom Search to search Quick Sets, Categories, or locate a Database. Category searching allows you to find and search one or more databases grouped by subject. Find Resource : Click on Find Resource to find a specific database or to see which databases contain full text. Find a database by using the Title, Locate, or Category tabs. Ex: Academic Search Elite (EBSCO) Find Journal : Click on Find Journal to find a specific journal, magazine or newspaper that provide full text in a database. My Space : Click on My Space to set up your personal preferences for searching SuperSearch, including selected records or databases for future use. How do I search more than one resource? Many of the resources within SuperSearch are cross-searchable, meaning they can be searched simultaneously regardless of the vendor. For other resources which do not have cross-searchability, you must link directly to the resources in order to search them, also known as linking to the "native interface." The "native interface" allows you to use any of the special features a vendor may provide and may be a better approach for complex searching. When resources are listed in the categories there are boxes that can be checked or unchecked depending on if one or more databases are to be searched simultaneously. If there are more than 8 databases listed the boxes will be unchecked and you can select up to 8 to search. If there are less than 8 all the databases will be checked and all can be searched at the same time or uncheck the ones not wanted. To help facilitate searching there are two sub-categories, Core and All . Core Sub-Categories have been created so that the basic databases for a subject plus the UW-Stout Catalog may be searched simultaneously. All Sub-Categories include all databases relevant to the subject. Select multiple databases by checking the boxes. What methods are available for searching? The two primary methods for searching are Simple and Advanced . Simple : allows you to create a search with truncation and Boolean operators. Ex: test anxiety and college student? Advanced : allows you to create a complex search using keywords, specific fields (all words [keywords], subjects, authors, titles, etc.) and Boolean operators to combine terms. Type in a term in a search box. The pull down menus select the fields to search and what Boolean operator to use. [Default Search] What are truncation and Boolean operators? Truncation : This is a way to search for words beginning with the word stem followed by a question mark (?). For example, type: walk? to find the words walk, walks, or walker, etc. There is no consistent standard for truncating in SuperSearch as some databases use the ? and some use *. If one symbol doesn't work, try the other--or do separate searches for singular and plural or other word endings--or resort to using the native interface. Boolean Operators : This is a way to search by combining terms using logic. And - combines search terms so that each search result contains all of the terms. Ex: travel and europe Or - combines search terms so that each search result contains at least one of the terms. Ex: colleges or universities Not - excludes terms so that each search result does not contain any of the terms that follow it. Ex: television not cable What do the graphic icons mean in SuperSearch? SuperSearch uses a number of graphic icons (symbols) as shortcuts for descriptive information for an action, searching, saving records to user's personal space, etc. = describes a database and provides searching tips = adds the database to your personal space (My Space) = search a database using the SuperSearch interface = deletes an action, such as a selected database from My Space = moves a database to your e-Shelf database set = to view more results or records = saves a record to your PC = sends a record via e-mail = view a record in its original format = save a record to your e-Shelf folder in My Space or or link to full text or other options = indicates that full text is available in a database = saves as icon. Used in My Space = delete a folder in My Space = update icon in My Space = save Alert = edit Alert How do I view the results after a search? There are three ways to view results: Results List/Table View shows the title of the article/book, author, year and database. More records are available on the screen at a time. After a search is performed Table View is the display default. Select the other two types of views from the Table View. Brief View displays results one after another and includes the same information as in the Table View plus the journal/periodical title, volume, page and date. Click on Table View (upper left) to return to the result list. Full View shows the most information including an abstract and full text if available one record at a time. Click on Table View (upper left) to return to the result list. Sometimes only a subset of all the results are shown. To retrieve more records, go to the last record and click on Get More , some but not all the original results will appear in your new result list.

Always exit SuperSearch by clicking on the Exit link in the upper right of the screen which will return you to the library home page.. Are there any known issues or problems? General: Not all of the library's resources/databases can be searched in SuperSearch. These are the resources that do not have the Magnifying Glass next to the resource name. These are "link only" databases to the native interface resources where you must access the vendor's interface in order to search. As more resources are OpenURL compliant it will be possible to search them through SuperSearch. Link only databases can not be searched simultaneously with other resources. Not all fields searchable in the native interface are searchable in SuperSearch. Sometimes you must use the native interface (click on the database name to search it as done in the past) in order to get more precise results. SuperSearch is not fully compatible with screen readers. Mac users will find that Safari works better than IE with SuperSearch. Supported browsers are IE 5.0 or higher (Windows only), Netscape 6 or higher and Mozilla. Specific: Sorting isn't possible in every database. In some databases, sorting results by title does not ignore the initial articles like a, an, the, etc. When searching multiple databases, the system does not retrieve all of the results. It returns a portion of all the results, regardless of date or relevancy, although usually it seems to be the newest records in the database. Search results when searching multiple databases, are in the order in which they were retrieved, and are not necessarily in any meaningful order. Sorting may remedy this if it's allowed. Alternatively, you can also request that the system go and get more of the records to find the most relevant citations in the search results list. If you search the UW-Stout Catalog in SuperSearch, click on a title, click the Find it! button and don't see the UW-Stout Catalog on the Find it Menu it is because the title doesn't have an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). Hopefully this will be remedied in a future release. See a reference librarian for additional help. All items in the UW-Stout Catalog have assigned call numbers which are necessary to find books, videos, etc., however in SuperSearch local call numbers may not appear. Items with local call numbers are materials primarily concerning the Menomonie area such as archives and Stout theses. To view the local call number click the Database Link in the "Resource" field to see the record with call number in the UW-Stout Catalog native interface. I am having trouble finding what I need.
