A motion for change of venue in California is the topic of this blog post.
This blog post will discuss a motion for change of venue in California. The term venue means the court location where a case is heard.
In California a defendant has the right to have any trial heard in the county of their residence, unless there is some express statutory justification for an exception such as a personal injury case where the defendant is alleged to have caused a vehicle accident in another county. If a defendant wishes to object to the venue they must file a motion for change of venue at or before filing an answer or other response. Otherwise they may be deemed to have waived any objection to the venue of the case.
Law governing a motion for change of venue in California.
The relevant code sections for venue are found in Title 4, Chapter 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, specifically sections 392 through 403.
And because the law favors the right of trial at the defendant's residence, any complaint filed in another county other than the county where the defendant lives will be strictly construed against a plaintiff seeking to lay the venue elsewhere.
And where several causes of action are alleged in a complaint, a motion for change of venue must be granted on all, if a defendant is entitled to change on any one cause of action.
If plaintiff did in fact file in the wrong county, defendant has the right to have the plaintiff pay all of their expenses, including court costs and attorney fees before any transfer is made. If the fees are not paid within 30 days of service of notice of the transfer order, defendant may make a motion for dismissal of the case without prejudice.
As stated previously the right of a defendant to have any trial heard in the county of their residence is very strong, and any exception to that rule will be strictly construed against a plaintiff. If the plaintiff is represented by an attorney, the Court will order that the attorney for the plaintiff be the one to pay any expenses and attorney fees before any such transfer is made.

Hi everyone, I'm in trouble with CCWS and CCImageServer.
Both are residing in the same machine.
As you can see from the attachment (daily log) multiple warnings are are constantly present: one of them WARN - Configuration store not found - defaulting to LocalFileSettingsProvider
For the others pls see the attachments.
Problem found: when sending images from modality sometimes they don't appear in the CCWS, so I have to completely restart the machine to solve the problem. Reading some old posts, I seemed to understand that could be a port conflict between CCWS and CCImageServer.
Could anyone help me step by step in what to do?
Regards, Federico.
Thanx Stewart for your always kindly and meticulous support.

Beautiful Colours, Disappointing Wear
By LINDA
from KAMLOOPS
I've purchased 2 of these polishes, which were very beautiful colours but was was really disappointed with the wear for this price. Although I make sure my nail beds are clean by wiping them with remover and/or rubbing alcohol, wear excellent strengthening base & topcoats bought here @ TSC, they start to chip in a day! After 3 days, you need to take it off as it is too shabby looking. I'm used to getting a good week or even longer, so this just doesn't work for me! If you don't mind re-doing your nails often or like to change colors anyway, this is for you!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Backwoods Savage will zip past me with one more post.
Better get busy before 10 people post in the woodshed wanting to know if the wood they just cut will be good for this year! You know Dennis will be on them like a fat kid on a cupcake!
We have to get Savs title of "god of fire" changed to "firewood officer". Maybe highlight it in gold to show some authority on the subject.
Well, it's official, then. You BOTH post too much, lol.
Holy cripes. Guess we are a couple of windy guys! But we're in good company.
True dat.
We'll try to change....but don't count on it. Have to stay ahead of Danno for sure.
I like you both. Don't change a thing. Well, except your underpants. Change those, perhaps even more often as you get older, please.
I intend to have my Hearth.com post count engraved into my headstone. This is really really important stuff.
You're only mad because you aren't winning, lol.
If I was mad (or cared), I'd win.
It seems that I am here all the time and post frequently (and I do). Do you guys get 2 for 1 deals on your posts?
sallota posts.
Looks like I'll break 5K today. Should go home early and celebrate.
I'm doing post counts today - for our pole barn garage. They got 8 out of 10 erected.
Did ya get that big ol' goonie out of the one hole? Or did you end up leaving it in and anchoring down to it?
You said erected. Uh, huh, huh huh huh.
No, they are going for an engineering exception and hoping to entomb it in rebar and cement.
Damn people.... I'll be happy to hit 1K.
BG you should try for 100,000 before you retire.
Next thing you know, these super-posters will be attaching pictures of their piles of used up keyboards, stacked up like cordwood. RIP, worn-out keyboards. Heheh.
Once you get the first thousand in, Jay, it just starts POURING out of your fingers......
if it's granite, and it's that solid and that big, I think it will be just fine. Oh, and I forgot........pics or it didn't happen!
Dennis/Backwoods Savage, The firewood police? Hearth.com firewood constable? Seasoned firewood boss?
Custom titles (other than fire god) for some of these uber-posters could be a lotta fun indeed!
Horizontal Police!

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Before, I accept, I wanted to make sure I understand what you're saying. My question is also about hurting my case. You said we will not be at FURTHER risk...Does that mean that we did something wrong by taking a loan against the money? We haven't spent it and can put it back if we need to. We are just in desperate need of a car and don't know what else to do. We don't want to take out ANY loans right now, and this was our only option for getting a cheap car.... Can they take the car away if we buy it outright??

FANTASY turned into reality last night and it's unlikely western Sydney will ever see a party like it again.
The new kids on the block, the A-League novices cobbled together at the 11th hour with a string of players unwanted by rival clubs, were considered little more than fodder for rival teams when the competition kicked off.
So rushed was their preparation, coach Tony Popovic didn't even have a full squad under contract when his side played their opening pre-season trial.
But six months later and highlighted by an astonishing run of 12 games straight without a loss, the Wanderers have done the unthinkable - winning the Premiers' Plate in their debut season.
Inspired by a first-half Mark Bridge double, the injury-hit Wanderers scored a pulsating 3-0 demolition of Newcastle Jets at Hunter Stadium, emphatically ending the Jets' own play-offs aspirations.
It left an 8000-strong contingent of Western Sydney fans who made the trip up the F3 in full party mode long before the final whistle and they were still lauding their team well after the end.
"There's no real big emotions at the moment," Popovic said. "Maybe because I'm new to this, I don't really know what to feel. The time will come certainly when we reflect on the season and what a great achievement it's been but I'm looking forward to telling the players how proud we are of them. It's been an amazing season and a great way to finish it off today.
"It was a pressure game for both teams and the players really stood up."
In unlocking the secret to their unlikely success, Popovic hinted it was all about confidence and desire.
"We were happy with the players and we stuck at it and had a real belief amongst this group, amongst this club and you could see today those fans are something else," he said.
Looking ahead, Popovic was making no promises, knowing the finals series brings with it a new set of challenges.
"We go in with a lot of belief and confidence," he said. "But around the world, you come first in the league, you are a worthy champion and that's what I'll be telling the players."
"There is still a job to do. In this country we celebrate the grand final winners and we'll do everything we can in two weeks' time to get ourselves into a grand final."
Jets boss Gary van Egmond could only bow to the superiority of the visitors on the night.
Bosnich: Wander season well deserved
"They were obviously up for it and had a lot at stake as well as we did but they seemed to be first to any second ball that bounced around and they made second and third efforts in their defensive work," he said. "We had a few (players) who looked like deers in the headlights. They were sort of stunned with the occasion and we never got any rhythm."
The intent was clear from the Wanderers from the opening whistle. Popovic vowed his depleted side, missing five players including marquee Shinji Ono and starting with debutant teenager Yianni Perkatis in the midfield, would not play for a draw.
He was true to his word. The Jets were blown off the park early by the intensity of the visitors, who were full of running despite the absence of their stars.
Given their dominance, it was no surprise the opening goal wasn't long in coming.
Tarek Elrich provided a long diagonal ball which found the outstretched left foot of a diving Labinot Haliti.
His ball across the face of goal evaded Dino Kresinger and Jets keeper Mark Birighitti but not Bridge. He was at the back post and had a simple tap in for a 1-0 lead after just six minutes of the encounter.
Smithies: A reward for all believers
The Wanderers plunged the knife into the Jets finals hopes even further 32 minutes in and it was that man Bridge again.
The former Jets player - who scored the winner in Newcastle's grand final win in 2008 - ran onto a Kresinger flick-on and outmuscled Jets defender Connor Chapman to make it 2-0.
The final goal, a cracking left-footer from substitute Rocky Visconte from outside the box with 10 minutes to play, will be worthy of any season highlights reel.
WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS 3 (Mark Bridge 6m, 33m, Rocky Visconte 80m) bt NEWCASTLE JETS 0 at Hunter Stadium. Crowd: 22,518. Referee: Ben Williams.

can't mount cd-rom... iso9660 is not listed in /proc/filesystems
Hi happy hackers,
I have a problem mounting my cd-r. I just installed it and now I'm trying to mount it. "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom" gives "mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'". Checking /proc/filesystems and notice that iso9660 is not listed.
So what should I do next? How can I check that linux finds my cd-rom. How can I check if the drivers are correct? Can I add iso9660 to /proc/filesystems?
just try mount /dev/cdrom and see what happens.
"mount /dev/cdrom" shows "mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'"
Did you recompile the kernel? The support for filesystems is built into the kernel and I would not understand why it would not work with a stock kernel.
I justed noticed "mkfs". Can I do something with this?
See, if whoever compiled the kernel would have let it be a loadable module the kernel would load it as needed. So what they di was not compile the support into the kernel more then likely. I really doubt you will find a 3rd party module to compile into the kernel since is already build into the kernel. If they left all the sources on the system just goto the /usr/src/linux directory and do a make menuconfig and just add the support. As long as you have the config file it will load all the current configured options when you start to make it (I think you can even do it without the config since it is a working kernel). You won't have to worry about the vmlinuz linking and such since you will be adding this to your current kernel. Hope I was a help! And don't be scared to do this, just watch what you are doing and you will be fine. make menuconfig,make,make modules_install, and you are done!

PHILADELPHIA (Nov. 15)
Mikveh Israel, the second oldest synagogue in the United States and the oldest in this city, has broken a tradition going back more than two centuries by electing a woman to the board of managers, it was disclosed today. She is Dr. Lillian S. Alpers, chief of the arthritic clinic at the Women's Medical College, where she also lectures on marriage counselling.
Last April, the 219-year-old Orthodox Spanish-Portuguese congregation amended its constitution to eliminate a long-standing clause that only males were eligible to become members of the board of managers. The action, taken for the first time in the election of Dr. Alpers, also made women eligible as officers of the congregation. David Arons, president of the synagogue, said the election of a woman to the board would not alter the orthodox custom of permitting only men to conduct services.
Dr. Alpers' husband, Dr. Bernard Alpers, head of the Neurology Department at Jefferson Medical College, is vice president of Mikveh Israel.

Four Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division teams reached the quarterfinals of the Central Coast Section boys team tennis tournament, which is not surprising.
The fact that Cupertino is one of the remaining squads is a surprise.
"We've gone to CCS 10 times since I've been coaching, and this is the first time we made it past the second round," said coach Manny Zarate after the Pioneers surprised No. 7 seed Los Altos 4-3 May 9 on the Eagles' courts. "Usually the first round is no problem, but the second round has been a wall."
Cupertino blanked visiting Valley Christian 7-0 in the first round on May 7, before winning at Los Altos two days later. Cupertino (14-8) earned a quarter-final match May 12 at No. 2 seed Saratoga, a team that the Pioneers lost to twice in the regular season.
The Falcons improved their record to 18-0 with a 6-1 win over Monterey in the second round.a
Other Monday quarterfinal contests included No. 6 Serra at No. 3 Menlo-Atherton, which ended Homestead's unbeaten string at 17, No. 5 Monta Vista against No. 4 Bellarmine at the Bay Club, and No. 8 Palo Alto at No. 1 Menlo.
Monday's winners were to advance to the semifinal round on May 14. The last two teams standing will vie for the CCS title May 16, 1:30 p.m., at Courtside Club.
For results and scheduling updates, visit cifccs.org.
Cupertino used singles wins by No. 1 player Kenny Tao and No. 2 Tommy Cheng in both matches. Gautam Bulusu and Chirag Narayankere, who won singles matches against Valley Christian, teamed up to score a doubles win against Los Altos, another team that had beaten the Pioneers twice during the SCVAL-De Anza Division season. Kelvin Wang and David Kamiya also combined for a doubles win against Los Altos.
The No. 1 doubles squad of sophomore Aditya Goyal and freshman Alessandro Vitali won against Valley Christian, but lost a tough decision at Los Altos. Freshmen Robert Jiang and Rishan Girsh combined to take No. 3 doubles against Valley, but each dropped singles bouts against the Eagles.
Monta Vista, after a bye, edged Crystal Springs-Uplands 4-3. The Mats took three of the four singles contests. Amit Batta scored a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 1, Saxon Day won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 3 and Adita Prabhakar triumphed 6-3, 6-1 at No. 4. Riz Mohammad and Brian Chiou teamed to win 6-1, 6-1 at No. 2 doubles.
Homestead finished the season 17-1 with its second-round loss to M-A. Freshman Adit Kishen was the only Mustangs winner, taking a three-set tiebreaker. Sophomore Yatish Kamat and freshman Austin Bi lost a tough three-set tiebreaker at No. 3 doubles.
Homestead traveled to Pioneer for a 7-0 first-round win.
Homestead swept a pair of playoff games from Gunn, advancing to the consolation championship series against Los Altos.
The Homestead-Los Altos winner will earn fifth in the eight-team SCVAL De Anza Division playoffs and one of the De Anza Division's five berths in the CCS playoffs.
The Mustangs blanked the Titans 3-0 on May 6, and bopped them 11-4 two days later. With the wins, Homestead improved its overall record to 15-12.
Junior Preston Heen pitched a complete game 2-hitter in the first game, striking out four and walking none. Senior Drew Strotman went 3 for 3 with a double and an RBI.
Strotman delivered two more hits and a pair of RBIs in the next game. He also was the winning pitcher, working four innings before giving way to sophomore Dylan Remahl.
Seniors Craig Young and Anthony Robbins and sophomore Bobby Wood each came through with three hits.
Meanwhile, in the El Camino Division, Fremont kept pace with Milpitas atop the standings. The Firebirds improved their league mark to 10-3 with wins over Santa Clara 9-2 and Lynbrook 8-4. A 4-3, non-league loss to The King's Academy on May 10 dropped Fremont's overall record to 14-10.
Fremont was set to play road games at Milpitas on May 13 and Cupertino on May 15 to round out regular season play.
The El Camino champion earns a bid to the CCS playoffs, but the runner-up has no guarantee it will make the 48-team field.
The top three finishers in the SCVAL De Anza Division were awarded three of the top four seeds in the CCS Division I volleyball playoffs, which started May 13 and will run through May 20.
League champion Mountain View (28-3 overall) was seeded No. 2 , runner-up Homestead (26-6) No. 3 and third-place Monta Vista (28-5) No. 4. All three had first-round byes, along with top seed St. Francis (24-5), the West Catholic Athletic League champ.
If each of the top four seeds get past quarter-final matches on May 15, Homestead and Mountain View would tangle in one semifinal and St. Francis and Monta Vista in the other on May 17 at Independence, times to be determined.
Lynbrook (19-11) also was in the 12-team field, garnering the No. 9 seed and a first-round date at No. 8 Archbishop Mitty (15-14).
Lucas Harjono of Monta Vista advanced to the CCS golf finals by firing a 76 in Regional II on May 7 at Rancho Canada West in Carmel.
Bellarmine, Harker and Archbishop Mitty were among the teams that also advanced to the championship round on May 13.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 16)
Israel President Itzhak Ben Zvi began consultations today with the representatives of various parties, looking toward the formation of a new government to replace the Cabinet of Premier Moshe Sharett which resigned yesterday. The Sharett Cabinet will remain as a caretaker government until a new coalition is forged.
First to visit the President were members of the Mapai leadership, who told him they were ready to participate in the broadest possible coalition, excluding only the Herut and the Communists. They also conditioned their readiness to lead a coalition upon the principle of collective responsibility–namely that each member party of the coalition most support in Parliament whatever legislation the government proposes.
After the Labor Party leaders, representatives of the Mizrachi and Hapoel Hamizrachi called on Mr. Ben Zvi and expressed their willingness to join a coalition including all parties except the Communist. They wanted a government which would pledge that "the Jewish way of life" would be fostered in Israel. Also they demanded that there be freedom for religious Jews to select the schools to which their children went and the type of settlement in which they would reside, and that there be "freedom of self-expression" in the country. They suggested that the representatives of the largest party (Mapai) be asked to form a government.
The Progressive leadership called on the President next and also urged a broad coalition excluding only the Communists. The President is scheduled to meet late today with the General Zionists and the Agudah parties, and with the other party leaderships tomorrow.

Julie's review published on Letterboxd :
Maybe I've talked about my nascent love for Johnnie To a bit before... =)
The Mission was fantastic, I loved it. Despite being made without a script (!), it holds together, even with its somewhat awkward plot development toward the end. Additionally, since it's not so dependent on a narrative, it doesn't have quite the same pacing weirdness of Exiled or Vengeance.
But whereas Exiled and Vengeance are super slick and mostly serious, and Election and Triad Election super dark and serious, The Mission is fun. The tone of The Mission is the lightest of any of the To films I've seen, with some really good funny moments.
And the music! It's cheesy, but I loved it, and I can still hear it in my head (in a good way). It sort of reminds me of something that would be in Sam & Max. A great scene, and a great example: the waiting game.
The five characters hired to protect the big boss are just really fun to watch; great characters and great actors, especially my To favorites Anthony Wong, Suet Lam, and Simon Yam. These Triad guys want to see some action, but most of their time is spent waiting. Still, there are some crazy stylish action scenes, and when they happen, they are welcome.
Definitely put this one on your watchlist; it is one that I will be looking to own.

The State Highway Patrol is investigating a one vehicle accident that claimed the life of a Coshocton woman.
It happened on State Route 16 near Frazeysburg around 9:00 a.m. Thursday.
The Zanesville Post reports that 60-year-old Rhonda Blair was driving west on State Route 16 when she lost control of her pick up truck and slid off the right side of the road into a median.
Authorities say Blair's vehicle then struck a guardrail and overturned ejecting her from the vehicle.
She was taken to Genesis Good Samaritan Hospital where she died from her injuries.
The Patrol says Blair was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Mat Troupe's season — and possibly career — changed on one pitch earlier this month against Kent State.
After throwing a curveball to catcher Riley Moore, Troupe knew trouble was ahead.
"It felt like someone took a lighter to my elbow," Troupe said.
Troupe tried to pitch through the pain and after a successful bullpen session a couple of days later in practice, thought he had turned a corner. He told coach Andy Lopez he was ready to start a midweek game against Utah Valley.
The right-hander from Northridge, Calif., lasted just 1º innings and gave up six runs. He couldn't throw off-speed pitches without severe pain.
Lopez shut down Troupe for the next series, and the junior went for a series of MRIs.
Wednesday, Troupe's worst fears were realized.
The pitcher who recorded the final out of the UA's 2012 national championship win will undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the season.
"It was something that we kinda knew in the backs of our minds," Troupe said. "We tried to put it off and get through it. But we had to figure out exactly what it was, and it's what we were hoping it wasn't."
Troupe, who was transitioning to a starter's role after two seasons as the closer, will now head to Texas and have the surgery. Dr. Keith Meister, the team physician of the Texas Rangers, will perform the surgery.
Lopez and Troupe are both hopeful the pitcher will be healthy in time to return for Pac-12 play next season. Troupe had been battling arm soreness since October.
"We just signed a pretty good recruit for next year's Pac-12 season," Lopez said. "Plus, he's going to get his degree. That's the upside. The downside is we're obviously losing a really key guy."
Troupe will be eligible for the major-league draft in June. He throws in the low 90s when healthy and impressed big-league scouts last summer in the Cape Cod League.
But he's planning on returning for his senior season.
"I guess that would be the correct process to wait and see, but I completely see myself in this uniform next year," Troupe said. "To end my Arizona career this way is not what I want in any way, shape or form.
"I'd say I'm about 95 percent sure I'll be back in this jersey and leading, hopefully, back-to-back championships."
With Troupe out, the weekend rotation — for now — will feature James Farris on Fridays, Cody Hamlin on Saturdays and Tyler Crawford on Sundays. Freshman Bobby Dalbec, who is the team's starting first baseman, will serve as the team's closer.

Now this acclaimed novel is back in print and available in paperback. From a 1987 Village Voice review
....after Butler's last sentence I felt something much more, a sensation I hear about all the time but is nonetheless rare and special. A cold wind blew right through me. Every hair stood up straight. I tried reading the book through again and the same thing happened. I was just as awed, breathless, and sad. This is not Jujitsu for Christ's only miracle, but it's a good enough reason to go and read it. Twice.
Ambivalent about his religion and his region, Wing befriends the Gandys, an African American family--parents A.L. and Snower Mae, teenaged son T.J., daughter Eleanor Roosevelt, and youngest son Marcus--who has moved to Jackson from the Delta in hopes of greater opportunity for their children.
As the political heat rises, Roger and the Gandys find their lives intersecting in unexpected ways. Their often-hilarious interactions are told against the backdrop of Mississippi's racial trauma--Governor Ross Barnett's "I Love Mississippi" speech at the 1962 Ole Miss-Kentucky football game in Jackson; the riot at the University of Mississippi over James Meredith's admission; the fieldwork of Medgar Evers, the NAACP, and various activist organizations; and the lingering aura of Emmett Till's lynching.
Drawing not only on William Faulkner's gothic-modernist Yoknapatawpha County but also on Edgar Rice Burroughs's highadventure Martian pulps, Jujitsu for Christ powerfully illuminates vexed questions of racial identity and American history, revealing complexities and subtleties too often overlooked. It is a remarkable novel about the civil rights era, and how our memories of that era continue to shape our political landscape and to resonate in contemporary conversations about southern identity. But, mostly, it's very funny, in a mode that's experimental, playful, sexy, and disturbing all at once.
Butler offers a new foreword to the novel. Brannon Costello, a scholar of contemporary southern literature and fan of Butler's work, writes an afterword that situates the novel in its historical context and in the southern literary canon.
Jujitsu for Christ is available now from UPM and can be previewed on NetGalley by clicking the cover image to the right.

For the past few seasons, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy has offered the utmost restraint. Eschewing the barking dogs, growling panthers, and kaleidescopic patterns of seasons past, he's been more brooding, sticking to simple silhouettes, only uplifted, as we saw last spring, by the occasional peplum. For Spring 2013 he continued his toned down trend, accentuating refined pieces with organza ruffles on necklines and sleeves.
Apparently influenced by his Catholic upbringing, Tisci offered stiff Bishop's collars in gleaming silver, high necklines, and demure hems. The Spring 2013 woman isn't overtly sexy or flashy–jackets are oversized; dresses form skimming.
Working with a color palette of white, black, gray, and touches of baby blue allowed spectators to focus on the construction–the train attached by golden clips to a knee length skirt, sheer panels on a bell sleeved blouse, and the embroidery on a cinched waist jacket.
Curved heeled sandals accented by gold and plexi pieces offered just a soupcon of sensuality.
Fashion Bomb celebs, who tend to go for saucier red carpet choices, won't find a ton to love in this collection, though I could see Rihanna, Lala, or Kim Kardashian in any of the sultrier options, particularly the black sheer sleeved blouse and a white one shouldered blouse worn with black pants.
The separates, particularly the pencil skirts, tailored blazers, tuxedo trousers, and white blouses, could fit seamlessly into any wardrobe no matter the season.
What do you think of Givenchy's Spring 2013 show?

How to re-categorize your hand after a flop: Is it now a monster? Have you picked up any draws? Or are you now holding nothing but trash? Here is how you tell the difference
As discussed in the section about starting hands, the foundation of good no limit Texas Hold'em play is an accurate assessment of your hole cards and an idea of how to proceed with what you have been dealt.
It is crucial to grasp the value of hands pre-flop, taking into account your cards, your table position and the action of the opponents also in the pot. Then you need to act accordingly.
After the flop is dealt you need to repeat the considerations above and add one very important other factor: has the flop increased or decreased the value of your hand? You now have five cards with which to make an assessment of your hand (your hole cards and three community cards) and you need to figure out again how to progress.
But remember the flop may also have helped an opponent, so you also need to consider the number of other players involved, as well as the texture of the flop, before determining how you want to play from here.
This section of the course comprises three lessons, which all combine to determine the correct play after the flop. We will look at determining the strength of your hand (below), then at assessing the texture of the flop, and then how to proceed when all is taken into consideration.
After the flop, hands tend to fall into three categories: "made hands", "drawing hands" and trash. When you have decided into which category your hand falls, you can then make a decision how to progress.
A "made hand" is one that has improved significantly on the flop and has only a slight possibility of improving even further. If you had a pair of pocket aces pre-flop and another ace fell on the flop, you now have top set (three of a kind) and your hand can only really be improved by seeing the final remaining ace (highly unlikely) or by the board pairing to make you a full house.
The important part to note is that this is already a very strong - or "made" - hand.
Made hands can themselves be separated into three groups:
"Draws" are hands that have connected with a flop but that still need improvement to become a made hand. If, for instance, you have , you will be delighted to see a flop of because you almost have either a straight or a flush.
But you are not there yet. You still need to hit certain cards to improve your hand.
There are various types of draws that vary in strength:
One of the unfortunate realities about poker is that you see many more trash hands than any other kinds. These are hands that don't fall into one of the categories above, meaning you neither have a pair nor a draw.
If you have seen the flop with a speculative holding but have not connected with any community cards (known as "missing" the flop), then your hand is pretty much worthless. The only way to turn the hand into a winner is to make a high-risk bluff.
At this stage, you probably don't want to get involved in making foolish bluffs, so you should throw away your trash hands and wait for another chance to hit something strong. All poker players - including the very best - spend a lot of time folding their cards.
How to categorize flops and determine whether those first three community cards have increased or reduced the p ...Go to Next Lesson

Canisius, NU and Bona men in action
Canisius looks to do something it hasn't done since the 1994-95 season when it visits Saint Peter's this afternoon for a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference men's basketball game.
Open conference play 3-0.
The Golden Griffins look to do that against a Peacocks team they defeated just last month at the Koessler Athletic Center, 82-67. Today's contest takes place in the Yanitelli Center in Jersey City, N.J. (2 p.m., Radio 1400).
Other men's teams in action today include Niagara visiting defending MAAC champion Iona at the Hynes Center in New Rochelle (2 p.m., Radio 550), and St. Bonaventure hosting Cornell in a nationally televised game from the Reilly Center (2 p.m., NBCSN).
Weather forced the cancellation of the University at Buffalo's game against South Dakota State at Alumni Arena. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night, then postponed Thursday with the hope it could be played today because South Dakota State's flight from Chicago was canceled due to heavy snow throughout the Midwest.
Canisius (8-5, 2-0) comes into today's game coming off Sunday's 87-81 overtime loss at Notre Dame. Billy Baron scored a career-high 33 points in the loss, earning MAAC co-Player of the Week honors and some lofty praise from ESPN analyst and former Manhattan coach Fran Fraschilla.
Baron leads the Griffs in scoring average (21.0), assists (4.7) and also averages 4.7 rebounds per game. Jordan Heath (11.3) and Chris Perez (11.1) rank second and third in points per game for Canisius, which has won five of its last seven games – the only losses at Notre Dame and St. Francis (N.Y.). Heath poured in a career-high 28 points in last month's win over Saint Peter's (4-8, 0-3).
Niagara looks to rebound from Thursday's tough 85-83 loss at Rider in which national scoring leader Antoine Mason poured in a game-high 31 points, including a run of 15 straight Purple Eagles points to prevent the Broncs from turning a close game into a rout.
Mason averages 29.2 points per game.
Bona (9-4) looks to end the non-conference slate with a win over Cornell (0-12). A 10th non-conference win by the Bonnies would be the most for them heading into Atlantic 10 play during the Mark Schmidt coaching era.

Modern economic theory suggests that economies of capitalist societies are based on the melding of the factors of production including land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. In each industry a relationship exists between the factors of production. This relationship differs based on the nature of the industry and the industry lifecycle. In each industry, one or more factors serve as an economic driver. In some industries, like the software industry, labor itself is an economic driver.
The C3T Hawaii Predictive Analytic Model for Employment project is a joint initiative between the University of Hawaii Community Colleges and the State of Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Research and Statistics Division and funded through the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Division Trade Adjustment and Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant. The project will statistically model the relationship between land, capital, and entrepreneurship with labor in the industry sectors of agriculture, health care and energy in the State of Hawaii.
The model will then apply the staffing pattern data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This will allow the industry models based on NAICS code to predict employment levels within the Standard Occupational Codes (SOC Codes).
The purpose of this project is to construct statistical models utilizing multiple regression to determine if employment levels can be predicted by changes in the non-labor factors of production that are identified in the Policy Planning Workgroups. The knowledge gained from this project will serve a vital role in improving the ability of the State and Counties of Hawaii to proactively plan workforce development initiatives in a dynamic global economy.

Law Firm RFP
Law Firm RFP's are a critical tool for the "best-in-class" legal departments of the Fortune 500. "Best-in-class" RFPs are crafted to strategy to elicit "decision-grade data" driving effective evaluation of law firms.
Law Firm Request for Proposal (RFP)
A Law Firm RFP is a "must-have" critical tool for the "best-in-class" legal departments of the Fortune 500. "Best-in-class" law firm RFPs are strategically crafted to elicit "decision-grade data" driving effective comparative evaluation of outside law firms. High performing corporate legal departments strive to optimize the use of outside counsel, manage outside spend appropriately, and increase cost transparency. To accomplish this, in-house counsel need to compare law firm substantive capabilities and costs in an objective, standard, and fair manner.
Law Firm RFPs (i.e., Requests For Proposals) are a powerful (and increasingly popular) tool for optimizing the law firm selection process. Argopoint has designed "best in class" RFP processes and tools for numerous Fortune 500 clients. Our expertise ensures the optimal outcomes desired by clients are achieved, the process runs smoothly and quickly, and busy in-house counsel can stay focused on day-to-day matters during the RFP process (which can be time-consuming if not managed properly).
Our process enables our clients to create a portfolio of outside counsel firms best suited to their specific needs and leads to a cost savings of five to twenty percent. In certain cases, we have seen cost savings as high as forty percent.
Law Firm RFP (Request For Proposal): Objectives
Request For Proposals have long been used selectively and in a targeted manner to increase visibility into specific law firms capabilities and comparative economics. Well-designed law firm RFPs equip client organizations with apples-to-apples quality and cost data. Recently, however, leading legal departments have begun leveraging law firm RFPs on a more wide-spread and programatic basis. These leading departments seek to better understand up-to-date legal marketplace dynamics, drive cost transparency, and better understand how law firms' capablities relate directly to their own legal situations.
Law Firm RFP (Request For Proposal): Overview
It is important to note that the RFP is just one part of a broader law firm evaluation process. An effective process may also involve:
- Formal legal spend analysis by legal sub-categories, jurisdiction, and relevant "buckets" of legal spend
- Research on qualified law firm candidates (a mix of incumbents and new firms is generally recommended)
- Conducting RFI's to gather critical screening data
- Creation of an evaluation framework and scoring methodology (including legal metrics)
- Law firm interview to increase clarity and align expectations
- Development of innovative financial agreements (including alternative fees as desired by clients)
- Team-based evaluation (and "roundtables") of outside counsel firms and specific attorneys against objective, formal selection criteria, quantifying differentiation in legal expertise
- Fact-based, data-driven negotiations based on BATNA principles, establish optimal, improved economics
- Following law firm selection, creating ongoing "best in class" outside counsel management processes, structures, and roles to manage outside counsel rationalization on a "go-forward basis"
The heart of any process is an insightful law firm RFP tool itself- which must be carefully crafted to include well-posed questions and solicit metrics regarding law firms' expertise and industry experience. There is little value in comparing cost proposals in a vacuum without fully understanding how firms' capabilities relate to a client's situation. To that end, RFPs in the legal field must be customized to solicit client and industry specific responses. Our experience has shown that investing the time and thought in creating a "decision-grade" RFP eliminates wasted time and is well worth the investment. Conversely, while law firm RFPs can be a powerful tool for clients, a poorly designed RFP can damage strategic relationships with law firms and attorneys, and generate volumes of unhelpful data.
Law Firm RFP (Request For Proposal): Solutions and Savings
Argopoint can provide substantial, valuable support for the RFP process. We are experienced in implementing these processes on a department-wide scale (including roll-out to outside counsel) at Fortune 500 companies. Our approach provides clients an overall legal sourcing strategy and frameworks, enabling processes and tools customized for the legal services marketplace, and robust, pragmatic "hands-on" implementation support and facilitation.
Our process enables our clients to select the outside counsel firms best suited to their specific needs and leads to a cost savings of five to twenty percent. In certain cases, we have seen cost savings as high as forty percent. A well designed outside panel also drives efficiency and saving inside the legal department (fewer, better firms are typically easier to manage).

This July 4th, Let's Pick a New National Anthem
Face it, our National Anthem ("The Star Spangled Banner," for those of you educated in government schools) is just hard to sing.
The range of notes spans 1.5 octaves, which is about all the average human can do. But even then, your ability to sing it well depends on the key, and the midpoint of your range.
For all practical purposes, nobody in America -- not one person -- can actually sing the national anthem in a way that others want to hear. That's why we all sing it together -- to drown out the horrid screeching and croaking, and to make ourselves feel better about our middling talents.
So rather than sustain this incessant assault on our self-esteem, I think it's time we pick a new National Anthem. And before you protest about tradition or law, let me also suggest that the National Anthem has become a cultural anachronism.
Written by a white guy, held prisoner on a ship by other white guys, the words ramble on and on about a piece of fabric, and some war somewhere fought over something. But nobody knows what it means. Francis Scott Key's poem, later put to music, isn't even called "The Star Spangled Banner," but "Defense of Fort McHenry." I'm sure that's in every Kindle at the Army War College.
There's a difference between antique and vintage. The latter is cool. There's a difference between old school and old timey. The former is cool. Our National Anthem is antique and old timey.
And one last thing. The song starts with a question ("O, say can you see?") , and we never get the answer -- at least not in the only verse that anyone has memorized. Everyone who's ever watched a sit-com knows that you have to resolve the conflict in 22 minutes or less.
(SPOILER ALERT: Three additional verses of Key's original poem all indicate that the flag still waved above the fort after sunrise. BTW, the British troops went back home and we got to keep our country. I'm sorry if you hadn't heard about that yet. I warned you.)
For all of those reasons, and Roseanne Barr, I propose we change the National Anthem, and offer two possible alternatives.
First, I suggest James Brown's "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing" (see video below). I think the dancin' jam and sax solo in the middle will be particularly popular at ball parks and middle school classrooms. I recently read an article speculating on why there aren't more Black libertarians. IMHO, it's because folks haven't heard this song enough. So, here's my #1 option.

Fiveandahalfstar celebration for Ollie0:59
Damien Oliver produces a brilliant ride to grab victory in the Victoria Derby on the Anthony Cummings-trained Fiveandahalfstar
AT LONG last! Alcopop yesterday saluted for his first Group 1 victory to cap off an extraordinary return to racing.
The eight-year-old, who was favourite for the Melbourne Cup three years ago before injury threatened his career, showed courage to chase down tearaway leader Glass Harmonium to snatch the booty in the Mackinnon Stakes.
"He definitely deserves his Group 1 victory," said delighted Victor Harbor trainer Jake Stephens.
"Back to 2000m is the distance he likes and he was freshened up for this and is at his best. Now it is all done," he said, saying the son of Melbourne Cup winner Jeune now would head to the paddock and may not be seen again until next spring.
Alcopop ($6) defeated Glass Harmonium ($14) by a neck, with a long neck back to Cox Plate winner Ocean Park, the $1.70 favourite who narrowly missed a fifth consecutive Group 1 success.
Alcopop has often threatened to win at Group 1 level, no more so than at his previous two starts when beaten less than a length by Ocean Park in the Caulfield Stakes three weeks ago, and then by a half length by Dunaden in the Caulfield Cup.
"He's a remarkable horse and a lot of people in South Australia will be celebrating tonight," Stephens said.
Stephens paid tribute to "a brilliant ride" by Craig Williams, who was stuck inside Ocean Park leading into the straight while Glass Harmonium held a six length lead.
Glen Boss, who described the run of Ocean Park as "super brave", moved out to make his run, allowing Williams room to come between horses ahead of him.
Alcopop and Ocean Park set out in chase with the former nudging ahead of the dogged leader just before the winning post.
"He felt the ground. And he has never been asked to back up before. He'll go to the paddock and hopefully come back a bigger horse," Boss said of Ocean Park, whose defeat continued the graveyard result for Cox Plate winners in the race.
Prairie Star ($18) was one and a quarter lengths behind the place-getters and missed his chance of a Melbourne Cup start.
Zabeelionaire ($31) settled last but ran home over the last 400m to finish fifth, a short half head of Winchester ($41).
Both are in the Melbourne Cup field and will appreciate the extra 1200m of the Cup.
December Draw ($7.50) flopped again to finish seventh, while Back In Black, who was chasing Glass Harmonium in second place until the 800m, dropped out to finish last.

Allow role inference on datatype contexts
|Reported by:

|Wiki Page:
Currently, role inference on a datatype examines the use of a type parameter in all constructors of that datatype. This, of course, includes any constraint contexts on these datatypes. But, the (stupid) datatype context is not consulted, as there is no need to do so for type safety.
However, by examining the datatype context, we can create a lightweight way of annotating roles, like this:
class Nominal a instance Nominal a type role Nominal nominal -- this is redundant, but here for completeness class Representational a instance Representational a type role Representational representational -- this requires -XIncoherentInstances class Phantom a -- any use of this class is redundant, but here for completeness instance Phantom a type role Phantom phantom data (Nominal k, Representational v) => Map k v = ...
Because of the universal instances, these constraints never get in the way. This is admittedly an abuse of existing constructs, but it seems so useful that it's worth a little abuse.

This commit also fixed a latent bug in that the datatype context was not fully zonked in tcDataDefn.
Please merge if possible into 7.8.1 -- this tiny patch allows lightweight role annotations, all done in user space, as suggested by Mark Lentczner.

I can see the motivation here, though it is a grievous hack.
But it needs documenting in the user manual!

The code in the original post is indeed a grievous hack, but the change in GHC in order to support it is not. Indeed, when Mark first suggested this approach, I thought it was too unprincipled to incorporate. However, the only change needed within GHC to support the idea in the original post is that role inference must look at datatype contexts. This is sensible, all on its own. In fact, the user manual, as originally written for role inference, needs no change: it states that role inference propagates role information from every place a type is used, which naturally includes a datatype context.
Now with this support in GHC, the grievous hack in my original post can be built in user-land. I have released it as a package
no-role-annots. I don't really like it, but it seems to cause no harm and some might find it useful.
comment:7 Changed 3 years ago by
Fair enough. You are arguing that nothing belongs in the user manual because there is no special compiler behaviour.
Yet a user approaching roles might still miss all of this. We have a mechanism for this: a wike page at Haskell.org. The "Documentation" link on GHC's home page gets you here. The "Collaborative documentation" section is for user-level documentation about how to use GHC, above and beyond the user manual. In particular there is user-level documentation for type system extensions. So that would be an excellent place for some user-facing documentation about roles, including a pointer to your library.
I'm not suggesting that it's your responsibility to write such a page; but starting one, with an invitation to others to add more, would be an excellent move.

hello bakers,
I was wondering, I just made some MM fondant last night. The recipe I got said to refrigerate it over night and then let sit until it comes to room temp. Do I need to store it in the frige still if I have left overs or if I don't use it right away? And how long does MM fondant last? Thank you for all your help!
keep on baking and make it fun
Hi and welcome to CC
I never keep my fondant in the frig and it keeps forever. I always have at least 2 batches made ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap and then put in zip lock bags to store. Hope this helps.
yay!! Thank you soo much Cookies4kids! Very helpful and now I can move on! =)
keep baking and make it fun

Our dog Blue, a large breed Airedale and a great pal, had three bouts with cancer
Past News ReleasesRSS
Wilton, CT. (PRWEB) May 1, 2009
Once again, the Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research is sponsoring Pet Cancer Awareness (PCA) Month during the month of May. During this time, over 700 in-store education specialists who represent the Blue Buffalo Company at retail distribute Pet Cancer Awareness brochures that list the 10 Early Warning Signs to pet parents. The company also raises research funds by selling BLUE "Protect Our Pets" wristbands and it contributes up to $1.00 for every bag of BLUE dog food and BLUE Spa Select cat food that is sold during PCA month. Donations are also accepted directly at petcancerawareness.org.
Funds raised during Pet Cancer Awareness month are distributed by The Blue Buffalo Foundation For Cancer Research which has made over a quarter of a million dollars in grants to support the pet cancer research efforts at institutions such as The Ohio State University, University of Tennessee, MIT, North Carolina State University, Cornell University and Colorado State University.
Last year's grants are being used to help fund the University of Tennessee's and Oklahoma State University's studies of chemotherapy treatments; Oregon State University's study of Hemangiosarcoma; Colorado State University's study on canine leukemia; University of Cal Davis' study on canine lymphoma; Michigan State University's research on sarcoma cancer's resistance to chemotherapy; Cornell University's study on the treatment of cats with epithelial cancer; and North Dakota State's study on feline lymphoma growth. These types of cancers are among those most frequently experienced by dogs and cats.
The Blue Buffalo Foundation For Cancer Research was established in 2003 by The Blue Buffalo Company, a manufacturer of healthy and holistic dog and cat foods under the BLUE™ and BLUE Spa Select™ brand names. Finding a cure for pet cancer is one of the top priorities for The Blue Buffalo Company because its founders have had some personal experience with this disease. "Our dog Blue, a large breed Airedale and a great pal, had three bouts with cancer," said Bill Bishop, Blue Buffalo's CEO. "After Blue was diagnosed, we wanted to find out all we could about pet cancer, and were amazed to learn that it is the leading disease-related cause of death for both dogs and cats. So one of the first things we did after starting our pet food company was to establish a foundation to raise money for pet cancer research, and raise awareness among pet parents of the early warning signs of this disease."
After forming the foundation, the company developed the Pet Cancer Awareness month concept as a vehicle by which to conduct its annual education and fund-raising efforts.
"When we started the PCA program, we were only in 230 stores", said David Petrie, President of the Blue Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research. "Now that the BLUE brand has national distribution in over 3,000 PetSmart, PETCO and independent pet stores, we were able to raise over a quarter of a million dollars. And because there are no administration fees, one hundred percent of the funds raised go towards helping the cause."

Panasonic Plasma 77U
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This TV is awesome. Anti glare works good. Picture is amazing. There is one dead pixel on mine (out of 2 million) and I thought of returning it, but you can't see it unless you are closer than 2 feet away. And I sit about 15 feet away. Other than that, this TV rocks. Panasonic Plasmas are so much better than LCD's. I have a Samsung LCD downstaris and it has a good picture, but nothing like the plasma. Hook this TV up to a Blu ray player and you will never want to leave your living room.

Tuesday's HIGHLIGHTS
Rockets 106, Heat 103: Dwight Howard had 22 points and 16 rebounds, James Harden added 21 points, and Houston defeated Miami. The Heat's LeBron James settled for 22 points a night after scoring a career-high 61. He acknowledged before the game that he was "extremely tired" and that he spent most of the day sleeping. He scored only three points in the second half. Dwyane Wade and Michael Beasley each scored 24 for Miami.
Thunder 125, 76ers 92: Russell Westbrook had a triple-double in 21 minutes, and Kevin Durant scored 42 points to help Oklahoma City rout Philadelphia. Westbrook finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists. The 76ers lost their 15th in a row, their longest streak since a 15-game slide in 1994.
Spurs 122, Cavaliers 101: Danny Green scored 24 points, and San Antonio made 14 of 33 3-point shots in beating Cleveland. The Spurs trailed by 12 early in the second quarter, then hit six straight 3s.
Clippers 104, Suns 96: Matt Barnes scored 18 of his season-high 28 points in the third quarter, and Los Angeles beat Phoenix for its fifth straight victory. Barnes hit 12 of his first 13 shots.

This critique could be brought against any explanation of any phenomenon within the record of nature. One would need to possess complete knowledge and understanding about every complexity of a phenomenon before one could settle upon a unique and exhaustively complete explanation of every detail of the phenomenon. Since only God is omniscient, such an explanation will forever remain beyond the bounds of human knowledge. Another way to put it is that only God possesses absolute proof.
Limitations on human knowledge, however, do not imply that astronomers can never achieve any degree of certainty on any aspect of the state of the universe. In a court of law an explanation for an event is considered proven if no other reasonable explanation for that event exists within the realm of possibility. Scientists employ the same principle in their scientific research. In addition, they possess another powerful testing tool.
Scientists consider a scientific theory or model to have attained a level of practical proof when, over a lengthy period of time, rigorous and thorough testing demonstrates that the model produces an increasingly more specific, more detailed, more comprehensive, more predictive, and/or more accurate explanation for the phenomenon. An issue for critics of the big bang creation model then becomes, have any of these practical proofs been established or has the reverse been observed?
Two researchers from Krakow, Poland, one an astronomer, the other a mathematician, recently developed a new practical proof, based on Bayesian statistics, for the big bang creation model. In their paper the Polish researchers, Aleksandra Kurek and Marek Szydlowski, consider ten different big bang creation models in the light of the latest measurements of the cosmic background radiation, type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillation, and the Hubble constant.2 Their goal was to determine whether the newest measurements offered a superior confirmation of the model in question by showing that a more, specified identification of the big bang creation event was possible. They sought to answer whether Bayesian statistical analysis could show that one, rather than many, of the ten possible big bang creation models was significantly more favored.
All of the new measurements decisively narrow down the class of viable big bang creation models. First they favor those in which the current universe is in an accelerating mode of expansion. Second, they all establish that most of the matter in the universe is comprised of exotic dark matter (matter made up of particles that interact very weakly, or not at all, with light). Third, they are also all consistent with a flat geometry universe and none permit anything but a small departure from flatness. These three conclusions by themselves establish a much more specific set of big bang creation models than what was possible a decade ago. Thus, astronomers are fully justified in their assessment that the scientific evidence for a big bang creation event has become much stronger rather than weaker.
Kurek and Szydlowski noted that the remaining family of big bang creation models fall into two philosophical categories: one where the accelerated cosmic expansion is explained by some kind of "dark energy" and the other where it is explained by some inhomogeneity in the universe's distribution of matter, energy, or space. They classified five different sets of cosmic models that could be fit into the first category and five more that could be fit into the second. Their Bayesian statistical analysis first demonstrated that the new measurements favored the first category over the second. Within that first category the cold dark matter big model with a cosmological constant was the statistically favored model. In this particular model the exotic matter particles are predominantly moving at low velocities as opposed to velocities nearing the speed of light and the dark energy can be defined by a physical non-varying constant.
Thus, even stronger evidence now exists that the more astronomers learn about the universe, the more specific a big bang creation model they can identify as remaining consistent with their observations of the universe. New observations consistently provide increasingly stronger proofs for a big bang creation event and big bang Creator.

Alastair Curtis of Nokia World touched on certain concepts which are held in high regard within the Nokia Design philosophy circle, and showed off a number of videos which focus on the future of mobile hardware design as well as accompanying software. With the release of the iPhone by Apple earlier this month, it seems that cellphones are moving toward a paradigm shift in terms of untested design philosophy. Is this putting the cart before the horse, or will such design and interface be the next positive development in the world of cellphones? As always, only time will tell. It is definitely an interesting time for consumers worldwide.

Business: The Leaky Cup Pottery
Owners: Anna and Rick Prosser, of Winslow Township
Location: Village Greene at Historic Smithville, Galloway Township
Started: March 2013
Employees: Owner operated
Phone: 609-314-0463
The Leaky Cup Pottery has a lot of pottery I make by hand.
We have a lot of gifts, such as baskets, utensil holders, bakeware, decorative bowls and centerpieces.
We do a lot of stoneware. It's high fired with glazes suitable for use with food.
We have melted wine bottles and boutique bottles made into cheese platters. We decorate them and include a cheese spreader with them, so they're suitable for cheese and crackers.
We make our own greeting cards. They have a scrapbooking look.
We make Christmas ornaments, hand-decorated and cut-out stoneware on which I paint flowers and other designs.
We also have stone oil candles. They look like a stone that's on fire — pretty neat — and people like them.
We have shabby-chic paintings, stressed wood that's been sanded to get different colors and then pictures are put on them. My daughter, Denise, and her friend, Andi, do that.
We have Ikebana vases, which are a little bit different, part of the Japanese art of arranging flowers.
Our pet fish in the store is named Alex. He's a beta fish. He's got a bowl and toys and he's spoiled.
The pottery I make in here I throw on the wheel early in the morning.
Everything I make on the wheel is actually made in the store.
The slab work pottery, which is rolled out and turned into things, is made at home.
The most popular are the free-form decorative centerpiece bowls, which can be used for chips and dips, and the woven baskets made from clay instead of wicker. You can warm your bread in those or use them for fruit, yarn or whatever.
We also sell a lot of utensil holders and cups.
We have odds and ends, such as sugar bowls, spoon holders, napkin holders, sponge holders, lotion dispensers and much more.
Entry: We started doing pottery about four years ago, selling at craft shows.
Sales were going good, so when we got an opportunity to open a store, we jumped on it.
Future plans: I would like to add jewelry made from copper.
There's a clay that has metal inside of it — copper, silver or brass — and when torch fired the clay binding burns off and fuses the metal together.
