This paper describes the development of an established two-state active-occupancy model into a four-state model in which the absent/present state and the active/inactive state are treated separately. This provides a distinction between sleeping and absence and so offers an improved basis for demand modelling, particularly high-resolution thermal modelling. The model uses a first-order Markov chain technique and the paper illustrates the value of this approach in duly representing the naturally occurring correlation of occupancy states in multiply occupied dwellings. The paper also describes how the model has been enhanced to avoid under-representation of dwellings with 24 h occupancy. The model has been implemented in Excel VBA and made available to download for free. The model is constructed from and verified against UK time-use survey data but could readily be adapted to use similar data from elsewhere Description: This is an Open Access Article. It is published by Elsevier as Open Access at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2015.03.013; This paper describes the development and verification of the new four-state occupancy model.

Cadmium Sulphide has been deposited using a number of techniques but these techniques can be slow (chemical bath deposition and Radio Frequency sputtering) or the uniformity and the control of thickness can be relatively difficult (close space sublimation). In this paper we report on the development of a process using pulsed Direct Current magnetron sputtering which allows nanometre control of thin film thickness using time only. The CdS thin films deposited in this process are highly uniformand smooth. They exhibit the preferred hexagonal structure at room temperature deposition and they have excellent optical properties. Importantly, the process is highly stable despite the use of a semi-insulating magnetron target. Moreover, the process is very fast. The deposition rate using 1.5 kW of power to a 6-inch circular magnetron was measured to be greater than 8 nm/s. This makes the process suitable for industrial deployment.

Here we report on the use of a variant of Scanning White Light Interferometry called coherence correlation interferometry which is now capable of providing accurate thickness measurements from transparent and semi-transparent thin films with thickness below 1 μm. This capability will have many important applications which include measurements on optical coatings, displays, semiconductor devices, transparent conducting oxides and thin film photovoltaics. In this paper we report measurements of thin film thickness made using coherence correlation interferometry on a variety of materials including metal-oxides (Nb2O5 and ZrO2), a metal-nitride (SiNx:H), a carbon-nitride (SiCxNy:H) and indium tin oxide, a transparent conducting oxide. The measurements are compared with those obtained using spectroscopic ellipsometry and in all cases excellent correlation is obtained between the techniques. A key advantage of this capability is the combination of thin film thickness and surface roughness and other three-dimensional metrology measurements from the same sample area.

A PV module is a three-dimensional device in which inhomogeneities can cause a non-uniform performance and hence, electrical mismatches which consequently reduce the overall power generation. Distributed modelling and simulation can be used to identify local electrical properties and their impacts on the power output. In this study, a flexible, distributed electrical network modelling approach is presented. The proposed approach introduces a hierarchical architecture built up from the diode model-based sub-cell level to the module level. A PV-oriented nodal analysis solver is developed to enable the spatially resolved quantitative analysis of electrical operating points by given local properties including irradiance, temperature, series resistance, shunt resistance and ideality factor. The approach has been verified by PSpice software. The case studies have shown that this modelling and simulation tool can be used to analyse spatially resolved characterisation results and to predict global and distributed operating points under different conditions.

Cryptanalysis and Improvement of Selvi et al.'s Identity-Based Threshold Signcryption Scheme
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Signcryption can realize the function of encryption and signature in a reasonable logic step, which can lower computational costs and communication overheads. In 2008, S. S. D. Selvi et al. proposed an identity-based threshold signcryption scheme. In this paper, the authors show that the threshold signcryption scheme of S. S. D. Selvi et al. is vulnerable if the attacker can replaces the group public key. Then they point out that the receiver uses the senders' public key without any verification in the unsigncrypt stage cause this attack. Further, they propose a probably-secure improved scheme to correct the vulnerable and give the unforgeability and confidentiality of their improved scheme under the existing security assumption.

Nathan and I are headed to Las Vegas this weekend. When choosing the weekend, we did not realize it was the same weekend as the USC vs. uckla game.
Where is a good place to watch a football game? My first thought was the ESPNZone, but Nathan is concerned that it would get pricey after a while. We want it to be fun, and possibly Trojan friendly. If things work out, this might be a mini MC meet too!
Fight On!

QB out for 'substantial' period of time
SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco 49ers got bad news Friday evening when a magnetic resonance imaging exam revealed quarterback Tim Rattay has a serious groin injury that may require surgery.
Rattay is being groomed to take over as San Francisco's starter from Jeff Garcia, who was released this spring in a salary-cap move. The fifth-year player was injured earlier Friday while rolling out to throw a pass during the opening session of the Niners first spring minicamp.
"The preliminary word is that he's had a serious tear of the upper groin area," Niners general manager Terry Donahue said late Friday. "And it will be a substantial amount of time that he's going to miss."
Donahue said team doctors will take a closer look at the injury this weekend and then discuss with Rattay and team officials whether to operate. Either way, Rattay should be ready for the season's start, according to Donahue, though he added that "Unquestionably, there's going to be a significant amount of time that's going to be involved with this injury."
Rattay is backed up by second-year player Ken Dorsey and third-year veteran Brandon Doman.
Dorsey "will take over the reps of the No. 1 spot," Donahue said.
Rattay went 2-1 in his first three career starts last November when Garcia was out with an ankle injury. His passer rating of 96.6 and completion percentage of 61.9 were the best figures on the team last year.
But Rattay has thrown only 164 passes in four NFL seasons and the next four months are vital to his development.
"It's unfortunate for all of us, especially for Tim, because he's worked very hard and came into camp in great shape," Donahue said.
The Niners will wait to learn the severity of Rattay's injury before deciding whether to bring in an experienced quarterback as insurance.
The team only has about $1.3 million of cap room and limited ability to free up more room. That would mean they would have to convince Kerry Collins, Kordell Stewart, Jeff Blake or whoever to sign for close to the league's minimum salary. Another consideration would be Kurt Warner in June when he's cut by the Rams.
Aside from Rattay, the 49ers don't have a quarterback on their roster who has thrown a pass in an NFL game.

Extraordinary Collection of Documents - Must be Read - There's One Caveat However - 4 STARS !!!!!,
This review is from: 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read (Hardcover)
This book is a head turner. The topics covered will make your hair stand on end like it was electrified. Jesse Ventura has clearly set out to become the national conscience of our country. He feels compelled to attempt to expose truth everywhere he finds falsehoods being disseminated. There is one thing we can be certain of and that is that our government has been spreading lies by distortion, falsehoods, and deleing material facts for as long as we have been a country. This is entirely not unexpected since the first rule of government; any government is to preserve itself in power.
Ventura has been a former in your face governor of Minnesota, and I found him to be a breath of fresh air whether I agreed with him or not. Dick Russell has written more than a half dozen books, most of which have been about conspiracy and several in particular about the JFK assassination. I have found him to be forthright as well. The book is organized into 63 separate files spread through five different themes. Those themes are:
Part I Our Scandalous Postwar History
Part II Government, Military, and Corporate Secrets
Part III Shady White Houses
Part IV 9/11
Part V The War on Terror
You can see from the above the different conspiracies that are being covered, to determine whether or not you as a reader would have a particular interest in reading about these specific areas. I am personally familiar with more than 90% of the documents in the book, having read many of them in their original format. By the way, the documents you will be looking at are photocopies of the originals. This is both good and bad. It is bad from the standpoint that the fonts, writing, and formatting of the document may make it difficult to read. The positive aspect is that you are looking at copies of originals so there can be no disputing that what you are seeing is an ACTUAL document, and these are the real words that were written as outlandish as many of them seem to current readers. They are nevertheless TRUE.
In our country today are almost 900,000 individuals with top secret security clearances. The precise number is 854,000. In 1996, the government withheld from public inspective about 5.6 million documents labeled top secret. By last year that number had expanded to a mind boggling 55 million documents. There are 16 million new ones labeled top secret every year. There are still several hundred thousand documents being withheld regarding the JFK assassination in spite of the fact that it occurred in 1963, as absurd as that may seem.
What you will be shocked to hear is that the Obama Administration in the end seems to be as secretive as the previous Bush Administration was known to be. Our current President is really serious about punishing those who leak, and keeping secrets. Recently the Pentagon spent near $50,000 to buy up the entire edition, 10,000 copies of a first printing of a book called "Operation Dark Heart" by Anthony Shaffer which had to deal with Afghanistan.
Now this is recently. In the past I have seen direct evidence where certain elements in the US government bought out all existing books regarding the Kennedy assassination. This explains why sometimes when you are searching for an old book on the JFK topic and you scan the used book buys on Amazon, the prices are extraordinarily high for these books. Since they have been intentionally bought up by government sources, the handful that is left seem to sell for hundreds of dollars. An excellent specific example of this are works by scholar Peter Dale Scott like "Drugs, Oil and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Columbia, and Indochina". It sells for an absurd $101 new on Amazon. Somebody is making sure the information is very expensive to obtain.
Just some of the topics covered in Jesse Ventura's book include:
* Stand down orders were issued on 9/11 to prevent military planes from responding to the developing crisis.
* Bush stole the elections in both 2000 and 2004
* The CIA launched an entire propaganda campaign to buttress public acceptance of the JFK lone gunman theory.
* The CIA developed and printed an assassination manual
* Operation Northwoods several decades ago was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stage an attack on America, and make it look like Cuba had done it. This is particularly wild when you think about it. The document is real however, which in retrospect makes you wonder, what were the Joint Chiefs thinking at the time.
* We have special operations forces secretly fighting in Pakistan while members of the Pakistani government openly support the Taliban in their fight against America.
* My favorite is the CIA document that reveals there is no way to fix the corrupt Afghanistan government because our ally is actually the chief corruptor. Recently an Afghan Minister was caught by our people trying to leave the country with $52 million in American hundred dollar bills which was our money. They let him go with the cash when all was said and done.
My Problem or Caveat with the Book
I believe this book is very worthwhile. The documents are real. You have the photocopies in front of you, and there is usually about a page introduction for each document written by the authors. My problem is simply that the one page introduction is not nearly long enough to do anything called justice to the document or topic being covered. In other words, next to no effort went into the books preparation. Each of these endlessly fascinating topics which I have looked at myself could require a book to cover the topic. At the very least in my opinion, 4 or 5 pages should have been written to introduce the topic covered by the document.
Most readers are clearly not going to take the time to ferret out more information about these documents. It is therefore incumbent upon the authors to give the reader what the reader needs, and that is a more thorough understanding of the topic covered. Several more pages would have done the trick. These topics are just too important for the authors not to have done this. It would have also lent a great deal more credibility to what will be any reader's natural skepticism at much of what is being alleged in the book.
As Americans we are heirs to the greatest republic man has yet to create. We are each responsible for our country, its wellbeing and what we pass on to the next generation. Each of us needs to know about the dark side of our country as well, and the topics covered in this book deal with the dark side. They are not pretty to read about, and some are indeed frightful, but we must be able to handle these documents, and what they mean, and help make our country a better country for it. I applaud the authors' efforts to bring these documents to light. An extraordinary Supreme Court Justice named Louis Brandeis once said that sunlight is the best disinfectant, and that certainly seems true at what is contained in this book. Thank you for reading this review.

Thank you for the review. My feelings are that this is the tip of the iceberg. We, as Americans, have to hope that there a also reasonable people "in charge" who have the ability to over ride the crazy ones so that Northwoods stuff never actually happen.
I do wish Americans understood the meaning of a Republic rather than a Democracy.

If the actual documents used to issue the stand down order on 911 are considered top secret then of course we will never be able to see them but you can Google something like "stand down orders issued on 911" (without quotes) to do your own research here: http://tinyurl.com/cac8cos

MLS Regular Season
Houston will call on depth at forward
With three games in one week, the Houston Dynamo were expecting their
depth to be tested, but certainly not by the circumstances that
currently face the forward corps.
Match Preview: Dynamo at Columbus
The Basics
Houston Dynamo at Columbus Crew
Wednesday, September 14, 6:30 p.m. CT
Crew Stadium, Columbus OH
All-time series: Columbus leads 4-2-5
KPRC 950 - 6:00 p.m.
La Ranchera 850 - 6:00 p.m.
KHOU 11.2 - 6:30 p.m.
FOX Sports Houston Plus - 6:30 p.m.
Playing shorthanded all too familiar
Playing at a disadvantage is something the Houston Dynamo are getting used to in 2011.
Travel trouble lands Dynamo in Columbus
The Houston Dynamo endured a lengthy day of travel on Sunday, winding up in Columbus rather than Houston after an odyssey of more than 15 hours. Having left the hotel in Kansas City at 8 a.m. CT, the Dynamo did not
get their entire travel party to Columbus - site of Wednesday's match against the Eastern Conference co-leaders, the Crew - until well after midnight ET.
Road woes continue after loss in KC
A slow start and an ill-advised red card doomed the Houston Dynamo in
a crucial matchup against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday and left
head coach Dominic Kinnear with easy answers as to what went wrong in
yet another road loss this season.
Teal Bunbury scored in the ninth minute and Carlo Costly put the Dynamo (8-9-11) in a deeper hole with a red card in the 64th minute of the loss, which dropped Houston to 0-6-8 away from home this season.
Dynamo 0, Kansas City 3 -- postgame notes
Houston Dynamo fell 3-0 to Sporting Kansas City Saturday afternoon, recovering
from a slow start only to see a potential tying shot hit the post and suffer a
second-half red card. Kansas City added two goals with the Dynamo down to 10
players to move five points clear of Houston in the Eastern Conference
Bunbury's brace leads SKC over Dynamo
Teal Bunbury scored two goals and C.J. Sapong added a third as Sporting Kansas City moved into a tie atop the Eastern Conference with Columbus by virtue of a 3-0 victory against 10-man Houston on Saturday at Livestrong Sporting Park.
Dynamo plenty familiar with Kansas City
The Houston Dynamo are hoping the third time's a charm when they visit Sporting Kansas City on Saturday (3 p.m.; TeleFutura, KPRC 950 AM, La Ranchera 850 AM).
Cameron's versatility continues to impress
Former third-round draft pick Geoff Cameron has enjoyed a good season
as part of the Dynamo's midfield attack. On Sunday against Mexico's
Monterrey, however, he showed he can wow just as much – if not more – as
a center back.

By Metin Oktay 26th February, 2013
When American Stan Kroenke first emerged as the front-runner to become the majority shareholder, most fans backed his bid over that of the Russian Alisher Usamanov.
That honeymoon period is now well and truly over. Arsenal are a club in disarray as they head towards an eighth consecutive season without a trophy. Unsurprisingly, the Arsenal fans, who are paying the highest ticket prices in Europe are getting fed up. They are now waking up to the idea that Kroenke has used Arsenal for his own good. It's a tough pill to swallow. The Arsenal fans have been ripped off and have been played – That is the fact which ever way you look at it.
Initially, the opposition to Alisher Usmanov taking over was over the threat that Arsenal could become another 'Chelsea' – a play thing of a rich Billionaire. The Chelsea model was seen as the worst example of how a football club should be run and to be avoided at any costs.
But these opinions are now starting change. All it takes is a comparison of the success between Chelsea (current European champions) and Arsenal over the past 8 seasons.
The argument for sticking with these economic 'principles' is now wearing thin. History does NOT remember the profit and loss accounts of a club – it only remembers trophies won.
The fans have been slowly waking up. Initially, the blame rested primarily with the manager Arsene Wenger and the chief executive Ivan Gazidis. Both men deserve huge criticism for their poor decisions in recent years. What makes this so hard to accept for fans is that these decisions were made NOT with the long-term future of the club in mind. This is a lie that has been perpetuated by the Arsenal hierarchy.
One only needs to look at the current situation of Arsenal to realise how badly they have been mismanaged over the past few years. The club looks set for another season without silverware and face a battle to even qualify for the Champions League next season!
The absolute minimum requirement an Arsenal fan should have for a club with these resources is a top four finish. With only 11 games to play in the season, the club finds itself in a 3-way battle with Spurs and Chelsea for 2 Champions League places. Even a top four finish is a struggle. That is how far the club have dropped.
Another way of emphasizing how far Arsenal have dropped is the 21-point difference from current leaders Manchester United. Its been a number of years since Arsenal have even competed with United on the field. The years where Arsenal stood toe-to-toe with Man United and beat them to the title are already becoming a distant memory.
The ultimate blame for this situation should be shared by three individuals – Arsene Wenger, Ivan Gazidis and Stan Kroenke.
Kroenke in particular deserves more criticism than the others as he has most to gain from the status-quo. In affect, he has sacrificed the clubs interests for his own. In my mind, Kroenke is no worse than the bankers how brought about the current financial crisis. He is a ruthless money-man whose ONLY consideration is how to increase his own investments, NOT what is best for the club. The greed of the man is astonishing. Lets not forget that this is a man already worth a couple of Billion pounds and who recently bought a farm for £80 million!!!
If Kroenke had the best interests of the club at heart, he would have demanded more investment from the manager and raised the bar as far as the clubs aspirations are concerned.
Fourth place with little investment is a great scenario for the money-men at the club.
Make no mistake about it, the frugal nature of Wenger suits Kroenke just fine. From a purely business point of view, Kroenke's investment into Arsenal has proved worthwhile as far as his bank balance is concerned. He is pocketing the money into his back pocket, money that should be used for the club.
The state of Arsenal football club isn't too healthy at the moment. The state of Stan Kroenke's bank balance most certainly is.
The success of the club has been sacrificed for the personal gain of greedy men. That is the reality of Arsenal football club in 2013.
Where has our Arsenal gone? A site for those who want to see a return of the Arsenal we know and love, the club we grew up with.

29 Dec 2012 21:03 GMT | Africa, Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria
Gunmen suspected of belonging to the Boko Haram group have killed at least seven people in separate attacks in Nigeria's volatile north, the police and army said.
In the first attack on Friday, gunmen opened fire and threw explosives at several targets including a police station, a prison and government offices in Maiha, a northeastern town along the border with Cameroon, leaving two dead, police said.
"Two people were killed in the attack. We lost a policeman in the attack on the police station and a civilian was also killed at the government lodge," Adamawa state police spokesman Mohammed Ibrahim said.
"The attackers burnt down the police divisional headquarters, a court, a satellite prison, a local education authority building and the government lodge," he said, adding that the palace of the town's traditional chief was also partially torched.
No arrests have been made, he said.
Andrew Barka, head of prisons in the state, said inmates had been released during the prison attack.
"The satellite prison in Maiha was broken into and burnt by the attackers. They freed inmates before setting the prison on fire," he said.
Ibrahim, the police spokesman, said that 35 inmates had escaped. Eleven of them were recaptured.
Boko Haram
In a related development also on Friday, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, the military spokesman in Maiduguri, the epicentre of previous deadly attacks blamed on Boko Haram, said some gunmen killed five people in their homes outside the city.
"Information revealed that some terrorists sneaked into Musari, a village located on the outskirts of Maiduguri and secretly carried out selective killings of five people, including a serving Nigerian police traffic warden," he said.
He said troops responded to the attack, arresting three suspects and recovering one AK-47 rifle with 10 rounds of ammunition.
No group so far has claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks.
Violence linked to the Boko Haram is believed to have left some 3,000 people dead in Nigeria since 2009, including killings by the security forces.
Boko Haram is thought to include various factions with differing aims, in addition to imitators and criminal gangs that carry out violence under the guise of the group.
Its targets have included Christian churches as well as symbols of the establishment, including police and other security agents.

LA PAZ (Reuters) - Argentina's San Lorenzo were pelted with objects by rival fans and needed protection from police at halftime of their 1-0 loss to Bolivar in their Libertadores Cup semi-final second leg on Wednesday, yet still advanced to the final for the first time.
The Argentine side had held a comfortable 5-0 advantage from last week's first leg and sat back to defend in two lines of four, 3,600 metres up on Bolivia's Andean plateau.
Substitute Gerardo Yecerotte scored the only goal for Bolivar in the second minute of added time on a poor Hernando Siles pitch.
San Lorenzo will meet Nacional of Paraguay, also first time finalists after beating Uruguay's Defensor Sporting 2-1 on aggregate on Tuesday, over two legs for the South American club title and a place in the Club World Cup in December.
"We made a great effort, we've got one more step to fulfil our dream of winning the Cup," playmaker Leandro Romagnoli said.
"We weren't able to play (Bolivar) as equals because of the matter of the altitude and that annoys us, but we achieved our objective," he told Fox Sports.
The match was preceded by a minute's silence in memory of Argentine FA president Julio Grondona who died earlier in the day aged 82.
Bolivar made a whirlwind start as they embarked on the near impossible task of levelling the tie after last week's crushing 5-0 defeat at the Nuevo Gasometro.
Colombia striker Carlos Tenorio skimmed the outside of the post with an early shot and midfielder Jose Luis Capdevila hit the bar a minute later.
San Lorenzo, trying to pace themselves and conserve energy, won a corner after 11 minutes with striker Nicolas Blandi then forcing goalkeeper Romel Quinonez into a difficult save.
Bolivar striker Juanmi Callejon came close with a chance after half an hour and in the 37th minute San Lorenzo midfielder Ignacio Piatti was foiled at the other end when Quinonez tipped his shot over the bar.
San Lorenzo's players then had to be shielded by riot police as they left the field at halftime when a group of Bolivar fans hurled objects at them.
Bolivar wasted good chances for striker Juan Arce and defender Ronald Eguino in the second half as San Lorenzo sat deep in their own half.
The Argentine side's defence was finally breached in Bolivar's last attack when a shot by Tenorio came back off a defender and Yecerotte slotted past Sebastian Torrico.

Straight to the point. After years of hard-work L'Aigle finally has a release. This is a singleplayer only open alpha for the time being and it is admittedly rough around the edges. Please bear the following things in mind:
It is a very early alpha and lacks items and various content, it has tons of repeated scenes, it has native quests and features, it has a general lack of polish and so forth. Please remember it's the very first version and thus very rough. Over the coming months the mod will get new items, new quests, new scenes, new features and much more.
If you're not familiar with the mod or need a refresher, here is our latest trailer again:
The mod should be available from the 'downloads' section of this profile or one of the various mirrors that are going up soon. I'll update this news post as they are added.
Please read the description on the file and the read me contained within the .rar. I hope you enjoy the mod and I hope it gives you a taste of what's to come in the future.

She shoved it into my chest & yelled "DO YOUR RESEARCH, YOUR MOTHER WOULD BE SO DISSAPOINTED!" I�m thinking mom would be glad I�m letting go of stuff, it�s broken & the horn tip is lodged in a leg (stated this on a note with the cow) what good is that? It can�t be worth anything, can it? This he/she cow creeped me out as a kid throwing up cream and still does. I shut the sale down & through tears jumped on line only to find these things priced all over the place. Didn�t find another exactly like it but close. Is it what Stella was thinking - you tell me please? Should I take it to the pro & let them fish out the horn and repair? Value verses cost of a repair? Thanks in avance for any help. Katrinka
Older people have a real paranoia that younger people don't know the value of old things. Comes with the territory and sometimes it's true, sometimes not. The prices are all over the place, because the cow milk pitcher has been around a long time, and I have seen them in catalogues dating from at least the late 1800s....but they are still made today. I have one an aunt got me I presume was made in China. Value will depend on age, maker, rarity and condition.
BTW cows do have horns and there are bulls with no horns. It used to be if you had a milk cow and didn't want horns on it (if you've ever milked, you'd understand why) you had to remove them, a procedure known as polling. Some modern cattle breeds are bred to be hornless. Polled Jersey milkcows were developed around the turn of the last century, but before that, they had horns. But, there is still a polling tool in my son's barn. So, cows do have horns.
You'll need to know the maker on your's to consider if it's worth a repair or valuable. Even really good pieces of utility china/pottery/porcelain are devalued if damaged.
Most obvious question is .......is there a manufacturer's mark? Likely not on a piece this small. I have a bunch of collectable, vintage animal pieces from places like McCoy's, Hull's, Brush, Shawnee and many of the ones like this aren't. The gold finish and glaze suggest it may have been a better piece at one time.
Thanks calliope. Wow, I didnt know about the polling thing, (strike 2 on me)that surely torqued my neighbor,she is the niece of a once large dairy operation. We are on speaking terms again which she states "See, I told you so!" To which I have no good reply & tell her I'm still researching. No maker mark while Stella now insists it is Stafford, "didn't I see the red clay?" that still wasn't meaning a hill of beans to me or to prove or disprove anything. Im not the collector, MOM WAS with Stella at her side. I offered it to her, she refused. Maybe I should put it on line for $10...let it sit forever & that would convince her it had no value, its OK I let it go. I almost put it out to pasture, Stella keeps inquiring. I know this isn't DR PHIL but I still need a little more info on this non polled cow. Any other site suggestion? on cow creamers? on Guardian Neighbor?(LOL) We won't have too many more good days for me to open the garage and continue.
I found a picture and a little blurb about your creamer. See Link below Possibly he could give you a hint on how to price it, either repaired, or as is.
It's sure a cute creamer.
Here is a link that might be useful: Craig's Cow Creamers
" I offered it to her, she refused " LOL, you can't win, can you Katrinka? I has this sneaky suspicion, since she was your Mom's collecting companion, that she might just want the prestige of collaborating with you on values. BTW, red clay doesn't peg anything to a particular maker because red clay exists all over the world. However some companies are famous for making their ware from it. Didja notice that one Japanese maker did their cows in red clay?
What an amazing cow creamer site. Never seen so many udders in one place at one time.
I tip my cow to chemocurl! Great site, actually saw some I REALLY liked. Yeah calliope I agree on the collaboring thing but what can you say when they know it all-just ask her. THAT WASN'T DIRECTED AT ANY KNOW IT ALLS ON THIS SITE, OK? OH, did you notice how many were referred to as bull creamers? Aware of companies known for red clay but this cow just didn't warrant that kind of thought. ANYWAY, I'm enjoying the cookie she brought over as a peace offering for yelling at me. She feels just terrible and wants to 'assist' with the next sale.....see you soon! Thanks again to all. Karinka
I tip my cow to chemocurl!
I enjoy the challenge of finding things on the net and think I might have been a Nancy Drew type person in a previous life.
Can you ask your neighbor just how to price the 'collectable' things? Possibly an antique mall would be interested in helping you price things and take them in on consignment or even buy them all from you.
I only have a few items every so often I want to get rid of and a local mall helps me price them and takes them on consignment. I don't have near enough to rent a booth space.
