08/11/2007 - Chile needs to invest more in research and development (R&D), improve its education system, promote public-private partnerships and foster business-sector innovation, notably among small and medium-sized firms, in order to sustain economic growth, according to a new OECD report.
Chile - OECD Review of Innovation Policy reviews the strengths and weaknesses of Chile's innovation system and recommends steps the government could take to increase the impact of innovation on the country's future prosperity and social well-being.
Presenting the report at a seminar in Santiago de Chile, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría noted that Chile has been a pioneer among developing economies in terms of reforms and openness to international trade and investment. This, together with its rich mineral reserves, has helped to drive its current economic growth. As Chile embarks on membership negotiations to join OECD, however, it needs to adjust its economic policies to ensure balanced growth in other areas as well.
"In this context," Mr. Gurria observed, "fostering innovation is one of the keys to improved prosperity and successful incorporation into OECD. Chile needs to boost innovation if it is to achieve high and sustainable growth while further reducing poverty and persistent income inequality. Improving Chile's education system should be a priority as the lack of skilled human resources is a major bottleneck for Chile's social and economic development."
OECD analysis suggests that education is an important driver of growth, Mr. Gurría noted. Vocational training should be encouraged, he said, as well as improved training in management skills and business leadership. Policies such as scholarships to attract talented foreign students and boost the number of Chilean students studying abroad could help.
The government should promote public-private partnerships to increase co-operation between the private and public sectors, the report recommends. The recent introduction of a new tax incentive for private-sector R&D sends a strong signal about government commitment to research and innovation. But to have long-term impact, this needs to be accompanied by more reforms to encourage private-sector innovation, particularly among SMEs.
The report also recommends that Chile strengthen coordination and co-operation among policy agencies dealing with innovation. The recent creation of the National Innovation Council for Competitiveness and of the National Innovation Fund for Competitiveness (FIC) should help.
Publication of Chile - OECD Review of Innovation Policy follows a decision by OECD countries in May to launch a world-wide study on the impact of innovation on economic growth and how innovation can best be encouraged.
Chile's investment in R&D as a percentage of GDP is low in comparison with OECD countries - 0.67% of GDP in 2004 compared to the OECD average of 2.25%. Most R&D in Chile is financed by the government and carried out in universities. At the same time, the vast majority of small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) do not carry out any R&D and innovation.
OECD countries have launched a drive to engage more closely with emerging economies worldwide. Chile is one of several countries, also including Estonia, Israel, Russia and Slovenia, which have been invited to open membership negotiations. OECD has also launched a process of "enhanced engagement" with major emerging economies including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa, with a view to strengthening mutual links.
The report is available to journalists on the password protected website or on request from OECD's Media Division (tel.+ 33 1 45 24 97 00). For further information, journalists are invited to contact Gernot Hutschenreiter of the OECD's Science, Technology and Industry Directorate (tel. + 33 1 4524 8452). Chile - OECD Review of Innovation Policy can be purchased in paper or electronic form through the OECD's Online Bookshop. Subscribers and readers at subscribing institutions can access the online version via SourceOECD.

Something raced out into the road, a massive blur of blood on white fur. Panic spiked through Aura, its affect deafening, and she floored the brakes. For a split second the only sound she heard was her own heartbeat slamming its way out of her chest and then everything exploded all at once. Her bumper hammered into the animal and the hefty SUV spun a hundred feet down the asphalt then jerked to a stop. Aura blinked several times then thrust the drivers side door open just far enough to throw up on the concrete, the ringing in her ears too much to take. She ran her arm across her mouth and staggered to the front of the vehicle, its headlights still shining into the dark abyss. There were no streetlights on these wooded roads and at night the black couldn't get any darker. She surveyed her SUV and was amazed at how little damage had been done to it. The fender was a mess, bent and broken and covered in blood, but the hood, which by all accounts should've been smashed, was barely dented. Maybe she hadn't hit whatever it was as hard as it had felt. At the thought, she remembered the animal and her heart sped up again. She turned, her vision following the twin orbs of light coning out from the vehicle and quickly searched the road. Nothing. It wasn't until she looked down to walk back to the car that she saw traces of red on the asphalt. A faint trail of blood led off the road and into the woods. The thing couldn't have gone far in it's condition. What if it was still alive and hurt. For a second when it first ran out in front of her, she could swear she glimpsed fear in the reflection of its yellow-green eyes.
The drivers side door still hung open, the interior ding signaling she'd left her keys in the ignition. She brushed aside the deployed airbag and despite traces of powder and a stinging forearm she seemed to be feeling fine. The ringing was almost gone, taking with it the bout of nausea. She leaned over and flipped open the glove compartment. Digging around produced a variety of things; papers, napkins, homemade cds. It wasn't until she reached the very bottom that she found the mini flashlight she was looking for. Its steady stream of white light guided her way as she left the car once again and followed the trail of droplets into the woods. Just a quick check, she told herself, and then back to the car. It was late and she had an early shift in the morning.
The leaves cracked and broke beneath her heeled boots, not ideal tracking gear, she knew. What if she had to run? She was out in the woods, in the middle of nowhere. What was she thinking? As if to answer her, a strong gust of wind pounded against her back and she spun around, nearly toppling over a soft mound of white fur. If she hadn't switched positions to block the wind, she would have passed over it completely. Now, as she stood above the animal, she froze. Whatever it was it was massive. It looked much too large to be a dog but arctic wolves aren't native to North America. At first glance it didn't look to be breathing. Its snow white fur was matted with blood and its eyes were closed, its long snout covered in deep gashes. It lay in the leaves, curled and unmoving. For a moment she just stood there, too afraid to do anything. Its body twitched and a soft cry escaped its mouth, a cry that pierced her soul. She knew she had to do something but carrying it herself would be next to impossible. She pulled her cell out of her back pocket and held it up to the sky. No service. She spun in a slow circle and moved her arms around to see if she could catch any signal, but not even the first bar appeared. She slid it back with a sense of defeat and sighed. She had to do something, she couldn't just leave it here. She knelt down beside the animal and very carefully reached out to touch its fur. It was soft. So utterly soft, but as she ran her hand down further it became sticky and matted, like a child who had gotten bubblegum stuck in her hair. It cried out again, this time struggling to open one eye. Aura's hand froze and she thought for a moment it might try to bite her, how stupid was she to pet a wild animal. Especially a hurt wild animal. She looked into its eye and the same feeling washed over her again. It felt like much more than looking into the eye of an animal; it was almost as if it were talking to her, trying to communicate. Maybe it was because it was injured or maybe because it sensed Aura's harmless intentions, but for whatever reason, it closed its lid and left Aura alone.
It was getting even later and colder at that. If she was going to help the animal, she had to do something quickly.

Today is an object I've had around for years, which I purchased from the same company that sells those inspirational corporate posters you may have seen around. You know the ones, they have a beautiful bold coloured photo, usually something around nature, with an inspirational word or quote underneath. Well, in the catalogue that we used to have lying around work, I happened upon this...
It's a rotational calendar with a quote a day, which can be used every single year. And it has. It's even survived a couple of floods, as a few telling pages with dirty splashes and watermarks, on the days they occurred, will attest. But, ironically, the quotes are rarely glanced. It's more of a ritualistic habit I have, to walk into my area of work and start the day by flipping over the calendar, as I sit down at my desk. I note the date and that's all. In fact the only one I recall, without looking at it, is the one right at the beginning, on January 1st: "Carpe Diem".
Until tomorrow

My fingers are in pain and brutally stabbed, you know what that means?
New plush! New plush! New plush!
This time for the most super macho and ever so lovely Jorge Gutierrez and Sandra Equihua!
This is a plushified version of Jorge and Sandra's baby Luka. Here is Jorge's drawing of him I used for the design.
I had to make some alterations because he would NOT sit up if his body was that tiny.
He is made completely out of fleece and thread. I used felted wire for the birds leg, plastic cardboard for the sombreo's shape and he has pinto beans in his bum to keep him balanced. I thought it was appropriate. Hehe. He's approximately 7' inches not including the senior Chapi doppleganger.
Here's a better shot showing the top of the sombrero.
I've been planning to do this in MAY last year before Luka was even born! But due to lack of colors of fabric, busyness and random things getting in the way I only had the pattern drawn out for it. :(
I'm really excited to finish this one at last since it was supposed to be my first.
Maybe I'll make an El Tigre one later.
The sombrero.....Jorge is godly when it comes to details but DANG! This is a simple design yet it still killed my hand during the process. I think the sombrero alone took a day to make. I added every tiny detail in the sombrero, the patches of straw all around the brero, all the little dangly dots and stars and everything is hand sewn, including the name. Phew. I admire anyone who has ever made a sombrero, let alone a plushie one.
Maybe I could make a detachable big boy moustache for him.
I hope you guys like it! Hopefully, we can hang out during the summer when I visit!
You guys are awesome!
You know who else is awesome? These people! I just had to draw them some gifties. *They were meant to be xmas gifts*
Space Bear!!!
This one is for Sabrina! She truly is a treasure, be sure to check out her blog.
This one is for Chris who makes funny parodies and he recently got his first voiceover gig on "Pokemon".
This little diddy is for Vap! Who has some of the coolest color pallets and wackiest doodles.
And last but not least *seriously, I have a few more I gotta whip up*, Cricket! Who has some of the funnest characters to draw. This aye-aye is no exception!
I apologies for not writing back to all your comments or posts! I haven't had much computer time lately due to personal issues but I have been lurking and reading the comments/posts. I'll be sure to reply now that I'm around!
Thanks for looking, more original artwork soon.

3. RAID 5 array fails after adding new hard drive to it
Sometimes, you may find that RAID 5 stops working normally after adding a new hard drive to the array. If so, you had better check if the new added hard drive is compatible with the RAID 5 array. You need to install a hard drive that is able to be compatible with the RAID array and the existing hard drive. Otherwise, the RAID 5 volume might keep failing.
Since Windows Server 2003 operating system is developed for Server, it has default settings for some hardware.

Tuesday Poem: Coastlines - Andrew Taylor
Maybe our life is an affair of coastlines
of touching on contours, of sand shifting
underfoot, of footprints straying
a shore line . . .
. . . The only line
that matters in the end is forward.
Andrew Taylor
Landbridge, 1999
Andrew Taylor is a major Australian poet who has never been given quite the international profile he deserves. He won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize in 1986 for his collection Travelling, and the Western Australian Premier's award for poetry in 1995 for Sandstone. His Collected Poems were published by Salt in 2005. Although his poems are often described as 'quiet meditations', they are so, so much more. Landbridge, a collection of contemporary Australian poetry, edited by John Kinsella, is published by Freemantle Press.

Desperate for employment in my youth I worked for a payday lender for 6 weeks. The vast majority of the borrowers were repeat customers. When they eventually ran into default we were instructed to arrange a PAD to coincide with their paydaay or even the date we knew they'd be receiving a social assistance payment such as the baby bonus. Of cousre, having expected that money to be in their account people would often post date cheques for utility payments to that day. Without the necessary funds the cheques would bounce and they would potentially incur multiple NSF fees, putting them further into debt and in trouble with companies providing essential services. People have no idea just how predatory these companies are.

Ovechkin to defend title in Breakaway ChallengeNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Local hero and renowned dangler Alex Kovalev of the Montreal Canadiens will join young artists Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks and Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks in taking on Ovechkin, who last year impressed celebrity judges at the inaugural Breakaway Challenge. This year, the shooters' task will be to impress fans in arena and viewers across North America, who will determine the winner by voting via text message for the performance they deem most astounding.
"I want to defend this title," Ovechkin said. "It's kind of a pretty cool title and I'm happy right now that I have it."
Each shooter will get one minute to dazzle the Bell Centre crowd and the North American audience (7 p.m. ET, RDS, CBC, VERSUS). Upon taking possession of the puck, a shooter can go anywhere he wants in the offensive zone and make as many attempts as he desires within that minute to complete a routine that ends with a shot at the net. When each shooter has taken his turn, the polls will open for the most passionate fans in sports.
The Scotiabank Fan Fav Breakaway Challenge contestants are wracking their brains to come up with moves neither their competitors nor their fans have seen. They've allowed NHL cameras to capture glimpses of their preparations but still plan some surprises.
"Right now, I'm going to show you my old trick," Ovechkin said before performing the puck-flipping, spin-o-rama swat that won in Atlanta a year ago, "but I have one more trick that probably I don't want to show you right now. You'll have to wait for the All-Star Game."
The six-competition card that comprises Honda/NHL SuperSkills® will begin with four of the League's blazers competing in the Bridgestone NHL Fastest Skater. Following the Breakaway Challenge, the League's top rookies will take on the top sophomores in the NHL YoungStars Game presented by Upper Deck. At the conclusion of that wide-open, non-stop game of three-on-three, the McDonald's Accuracy Shooting and Cisco Hardest Shot then will test the All-Stars' ability to pick corners and blast away.
The evening will come to a rousing conclusion with all 36 NHL All-Star skaters and all six goalies competing in the Gatorade NHL Elimination Shootout -- the NHL All-Star version of the score-and-stay-alive game with which youth hockey players throughout the world traditionally end their practices.
The 2009 NHL All-Star Weekend in Montreal will celebrate the Montreal Canadiens' Centennial season with live national broadcasts of the Honda/NHL SuperSkills on Saturday, Jan. 24, and the NHL All-Star Game on Sunday, Jan. 25, on CBC and RDS in Canada and VERSUS in the United States. NASN, ASN, J Sports, Sky Mexico, Fox Sports Australia and other NHL international broadcast partners will provide live coverage of both the Honda/NHL SuperSkills event and the NHL All-Star Game to more than 150 countries and territories in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific Rim, Mexico and the Caribbean. NHL Radio will provide exclusive, national radio coverage which can be heard on stations around the United States and Canada as well as on Sirius XM Radio's NHL Home Ice, located at XM channel 204 and on SIRIUS channel 208 with the "Best of XM" programming package. NHL.com and NHL Network will provide extensive coverage of the All-Star Weekend.

I cooked with my friend, Matt Moran, which was great!
He is such a wonderful cook and his dish of slow roasted lamb shoulder, chickpea and heirloom tomato salad was right up my culinary alley. The lamb had been roasted on a very low heat for hours, it fell right off the bone. Smothered in a vibrant salsa verde it was an absolute mouth watering sensation!!
Thank you to the lovely people who got behind me and donated money to this great cause of helping people less fortunate than we are.
A big thank you to Louie from Premier Northpak (our packaging people), Adrienne and Peter Glass (the lovely, generous people behind the Green Gecko Project), my dear friends Brooke and Timbo from Elements I Love , and John Lewis from Kauri Cliffs).
Congrats to Paul Higers, a fellow CEO whom I cooked with, for raising $73,880.00!!! What a great effort and thanks for the tips for next year, Paul.
So until next year, any food left in the house or money left in your pocket....... call OzHarvest!
Happy cooking,
Simmone x

Note: This is going to be a really short post.
Arghh!!! It's a nightmare! Somebody found out about this blog (and another one, my friend's) and caught us! We were planning to keep this a secret. First, from each other until the 10th entry. We didn't wait for the 10th. We gave each other's link so we can have a sneak peek but later we keep on reading each other's entries.
We tried to keep this a secret, until maybe someday later. A suggested date was our birthdays. Hehe... Seems like somebody spoiled the surprise! Well, now she doesn't have to keep hers a secret anymore. Me? I don't really mind now if anybody read mine. Haha...
On another note, my fav blog has new entry. Now with different adventures. I can't wait! Check it out: Waiterrant.net and go through the previous entries. You'll understand why I'm excited about every new entry now. (^_^)

I am a big Radio 4 fan and Just a Minute is one of its treasured institutions. I thought it would be fun to apply its rules to your data centre. If you aren't familiar with the game you have a minute to talk on a given subject without repetition, hesitation or deviation and I think these are great rules for a data centre too:
Repetition. If you end up doing the same thing again and again on your infrastructure, shouldn't you think about not doing it all and automating it? There are abundant areas for doing this, such as deployments, creating and deleting users.
Hesitation. If your data centre isn't agile and responsive to changing users needs, then your users will find ways to circumvent these obstacles to get stuff done. This might mean the introduction of niche software outside of your control, possibly through the use of a cloud-based service, or engaging an external company to do what they need. Suddenly you are no longer relevant to them for anything except for desktop support, which might not be that interesting for you. I would argue that it's the IT guys who need to lead with innovation and not be the handbrake on the wheel of progress.
Deviation. This one is more subtle, the IT department is there to support the needs of the business and not a sort of empire in its own right. While the real situation might not be like this, perception is everything and if your user base can't identify what you are doing with what they need, then they will be more likely to take their services to another source. Charging for services can be a good way for users to see how their decisions affect what is in the black box of the data centre.
You might not be able to apply all of these principles to your data centre, it might not be big enough or you may have a great relationship with your business users already. Back to my point about innovation - you should keep an eye out for what can make your data centre better.
Probably the simplest and fastest way to understand some of these new approaches is to come to our private cloud day at Microsoft Techdays Live, because these goals are exactly what the private cloud is about. Microsoft's approach to private cloud is baked into the all of the products that comprise the System Center suite, so these are all being released in new versions over the coming year, and we'll be showing off the betas of these at this event.

The war game planned for last week did not come off quite as planned (the above shot is from the game played solo) so, at present there is no report to post. But we are going to fight it again tonight - Huzzah! - so a report is in the pipeline.
Earlier this year I started to think about the demo-game we will do at Sheffield Triples next year. Triples is a two day show, so a big game is always worthwhile, and we always like to vary the period of our games so that we don't become known for just one thing. It has been years since we did a Seven Years War game at Triples using 28mm figures - Lobositz from memory - and the rebuilding of my SYW collection was in full swing, so I thought, why not?
The 'why not' was not hard to find. My SYW collection was in pieces (converting 16 man units into 24 man units) and, quite frankly, there was not much of it. I had been successfully, if slowly, building the lead pile with purchases from ebay (mostly WF Russian and Prussian - my Austrians are no where using this strategy), but when I totted everything up, re-fighting a historical battle was only possible (with my mix of troops) if it was drastically scaled down. This is not the kind of thing I like to do at Sheffield, so I put the idea on the back burner.
Two previous games at Sheffield Triples - Cerignola and Lake Trasimene
Come October, and with no definite plan, I had to decide on something. Again I counted up my Russians and Prussians, painted and unpainted, new purchases and old. Now, I was quite close, but not close enough to fudge it. Bollocks - time to splash the cash! It will be Zorndorf!
So, now I've decided, here is what I need to do. I will stage Zorndorf using my collection of SYW troops. Each regiment will be represented by a single unit of infantry or cavalry. (I organise my units by the correct[ish] frontages so most infantry regiments will be 24 figures on an 18cm frontage, and each five squadrons of cavalry will be represented by 8 cavalry on a similar frontage). Here is what I need: Got and painted is the first number in black, the total needed is the second number in red, the third number, in blue, is the number of units that I'm still (even after a significant spend) required to purchase.
Line Infantry Regiments: 12 / 16 / 2
Grenadier Infantry Regiments: 4 / 0 / 0
Combined Grenadier Infantry Regiments: 0 / 3 / 0 (Representing 6 Btns)
Observation Corps Infantry Regiments: 0 / 4 / 0 (36 man units)
Observation Corps Combined Grenadier Infantry Regiments: 0 / 1 / 0 (36 man unit)
Cuirassier Regiments: 2 / 4 / 2
Horse Grenadier Regiments: 1 / 0 / 0
Dragoon Regiments: 0 / 2 / 2
Hussar Regiments: 3 / 5 / 0 (Representing 4 regiments - one of 10 squadrons)
Cossack Regiments: 5 / 8 / 3 (Representing 7 units)
Artillery: 8 / 12 / 4 (guns - a slight fudge on numbers, this represents 17 batteries)
Note: On the day, not all cavalry regiments will be fielded at full strength, but they will be collected as such to future-proof.
Musketeer Infantry Regiments: 10 / 1 / 0
Fusilier Infantry Regiments: 1 / 4 / 0
Combined Grenadier Infantry Regiments: 2 / 5 / 0 (Representing 9 Btns)
Cuirassier Regiments: 4 / 6 / 0
Dragoon Regiments: 3 / 6 / 0 (Representing 5 regiments - one of 10 squadrons)
Hussar Regiments: 1 / 6 / 0 (Representing 3 regiments - all of 10 squadrons)
Artillery: 6 / 12 / 2 (guns - a slight fudge on numbers, this represents 18 batteries)
So what do I need:
I need to paint: 516 Infantry, 144 Cavalry, 14 Guns and crew.
I need to buy: 48 Infantry, 56 Cavalry, 12 Guns and crew.
Now, that's a mouthful. I'd better get chewing.

Lesson 6 –Cold Application & Basic Layering
MPO™ is best applied in thin and evenly spread layers at room temperature. Applying several layers one on top of another is a great way to achieve colorful effects, tones texture & patterns. Advanced users will appreciate more complex creation by learning to carve and shave through multiple layers.

Lesson 5 –MPO and Pigments
Mastering color saturation using MPO™ is key to controlling the transparency, translucency and luminosity properties of each layer applied. Thus whether you are using dry powdered pigments or oil based paints remember to add your pigment/paint in small incremental quantities as to attain the desired effect while not over saturating.

Our pre-compliance service for household electrical appliances will assist you in getting your product to market in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost. By providing advice on the relevant compliance issues early in your new product development cycle we will help you to avoid costly and time consuming redesigns at the later stages of product development. Our wealth of experience and in-depth knowledge of the EN/IEC 60335 safety standard makes our pre-compliance service especially effective.
CE marking
For most suppliers of 'white goods' the CE marking regime is well known. One of the best ways of showing due diligence is to have Nemko Test Reports and Certificates as part of each product's technical documentation file. Nemko Test Reports and Certificates to EN/IEC 60335 are ideal documents for demonstrating compliance with both the Principal Elements of the Safety Objectives of the UK's Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations SI 3260 1994 and the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. For compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU, testing can be done in conjunction with our Nemko approved Notified Bodies here in the UK.
CB scheme
For international market access, CB certificates and reports are recognised by more countries outside Europe than any other form of safety approval documentation.
N mark
Nemko's own internationally recognised product certification mark, which is available to manufacturers worldwide.
GS mark
Product certification for the German 'tested for safety' approval mark. Since Nemko does not charge any annual licence fees, our prices for GS certification are often the most competitive in the market.
North American Certification
We can offer both the 'cMETus' & 'cNus' NRTL marks for the USA & Canada.

Premier League: Alan Pardew confident he can handle the pressure at Newcastle
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew insists he can take the flak that is being aimed at him by some fans.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 27/04/13 4:51pm
The Magpies are still not safe in the Premier League, as they currently sit six points above third-from-bottom Wigan.
Newcastle's poor showing this season is in stark contrast to last season when they were the Premier League's surprise package as they claimed a top-five finish.
"When criticism comes at a big football club like this, you have to be big enough and bold enough to deal with it," he is quoted by the Daily Mirror.
"Whether you're the manager, the player, the chief executive or the chairman, it comes with the territory. I've got absolutely no problem with that.
"There's only one way to deal with it, and that's through performances. Me talking means nothing. This is about the club. This isn't about me. It isn't about any one person.
"We need three points to keep Newcastle United as a Premier League team next season. Then all the plans we have in place can move forward.
Pardew insists that this season has not been a case of the club going backwards.
"You cannot have a season of finishing fifth, like we had last year, without momentum and some good fortune, too," he continued.
"To finish above the teams we finished above - Chelsea, Liverpool - you can't just have a good side.
"The finance we have compared to those two clubs is not even half. We did a marvellous job last year and people might say we over-achieved, but we had momentum.
"When you have a team that has struggled for momentum all year it's difficult to reach those levels.
"Are we as strong as last year? We're not. But in terms of individuals, we can be, quite quickly.
"If we got a great result on Saturday, I wouldn't put it past us to win two more games. But if we lose, then we lose that little bit of momentum we gained at West Brom and suddenly you're fighting again to try to get those three points. It's a different pressure.
"I haven't got to the end of this season yet and you've got to get to the end to understand exactly what has gone on.
"When you throw a blanket across the division, there's not a lot of difference between clubs that have been described as having great seasons and us.
"It's very difficult to assess at the moment with all the problems we've had. That should be done at the end of the year."

Floating Island
These are both from the same Jell-O Dessert Time cookbook I blogged from on Thursday. The top photo is Vanilla Valentine: Fill large serving dish with chilled Jell-O Vanilla Pudding. Garnish with hearts and cubes cut from 1/2 inch layer of Jell-O. Kind of weird, but cute.
The caption on the bottom photo reads: Floating island, the modern, quick way.
(As opposed to?)
Floating Island
Prepare Jell-O Pudding, any flavor, increasing milk to 3 1/2 cups. Chill in covered bowl. Beat slowly with rotary egg beater until smooth and creamy. Turn into shallow serving dish and top with 'islands' of whipped cream. Makes 6 servings.
With Chocolate Pudding use whipped cream tinted pink and flavored lightly with peppermint extract. Top with chocolate sprinkles, if desired.

Our History
The history of Bergers Cookies began in 1835, when German immigrant Henry Berger arrived in the United States. A baker by trade, Henry came to The Land of Opportunity to follow his dreams, and soon opened a bakery in East Baltimore. In time Henry had three sons, George, Henry and Otto. Years later, young Henry took over his father's bakery, while brothers Otto and George began their own.
In the late 1800's "open air" markets dominated the way people shopped. They could purchase all their food needs in one general area. Each vendor had their own little shop, or as they were known then, stall. It is believed that each brother maintained a stall in one of about five markets throughout the city.
When Mr. Russell retired, his son, Charles E. Russell Jr., took control of the bakery operation. The bakery continued to thrive, even through The Great Depression and both World Wars. Mr. Russell Jr., along with his two sons, Charles III and Dennis, worked together in the business. He also had two brothers working for him by the name of Charles and Benjamin DeBaufre. Mr. Russell retired in 1967, turning over control of the bakery to his sons, while the DeBaufre brothers branched out on their own, creating DeBaufre Bakeries, Inc.
The first two years were a struggle, yet in 1969 DeBaufre Bakeries had become profitable enough to purchase Bergers from the Russell brothers. In 1978 Charles DeBaufres' son, Charles DeBaufre Jr., purchased a portion of the bakery. In 1988, Charles, Sr., passed away, leaving Benjamin and Charles, Jr. along with business associate John Koehler, in control of the company, until 1994, when Charles DeBaufre Jr. became the sole proprietor of Berger Cookies. Charles Jr. is still running the business today.
From its modest roots Bergers has continued to prosper, and has grown into one of the most recognized –and beloved cookie companies in the Mid Atlantic region. We still maintain the same recipes, with some minor adjustments to adapt to the processing of raw ingredients, as in the 1800's. Our commitment to produce a quality product… one that our loyal customers can continue to enjoy, and new customers discover, is maintained in our production today.

Hello all,
Well, I see these invisible machine quitling threads, but they feel like fishing lines. Can this be good? I know some are nylon, and Superior makes polyster, do you prefer one over the other? Any specfic brand?
I am new to quilting, so you can imagine, my quitling lines are not so fabulous, so I was thinking about using invisible thread on the top and matching backing thread in the bobbin. How does this sound?
Appreciate all the help.

Patricia Arquette in talks to join the cast of Pixar's Toy Story 4
Somehow Pixar was able to beat the odds and produce a perfect trilogy which consisted of TOY STORY, TOY STORY 2, and TOY STORY 3, and for some reason they're tempting fate by heading back to that well once again for TOY STORY 4. Both Tim Allen and Tom Hanks will be back to reprise their roles of Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear in the sequel which is to be directed by John Lasseter and written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack.
The first new character of TOY STORY 4 may have been cast as The Wrap has reported that Patricia Arquette (BOYHOOD) is in talks to join the film as "a laid-back mom who's described as a hippie." That brief character description doesn't give us much more information as to the story of this third sequel, which is said to be a standalone film chronicling the love story between Sheriff Woody and Bo Peep. Aside from Pixar's confusing desire to bring more CARS films into the world, I trust them enough to have faith that they will keep TOY STORY's track record intact.
TOY STORY 4 is set to open on June 15, 2018.

The Magic of Family House
For this year's BarnRaise, Sept 9-11, The Capital ONE Design team is partnering with Family House (FH), a local nonprofit that provides free, temporary housing for families with children undergoing cancer and other treatment at the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.
The first time our team visited Family House, we were immediately struck by the warmth, hospitality, and comfort of our environment. It was clear that the House truly provides a home away from home (vs. a home away from hospital) for the children and families it serves.
As we learned more about the organization, its history, and its vision, we were further struck by the passion of Family House's staff. Authors sometimes refer to the idea of "the given line" – a word, phrase, or idea that passes through the air and inspires an entire body of work. During our first meeting with FH staff, when Karen Banks, Director of Volunteer Programs, said to us, "There's Magic at Family House," we knew we had our given line.
Finding the Bright Spots
Over the past few weeks, we've heard stories of pain, sadness, and loss, yes. But we've also heard stories about communities coming together everyday to create positive experiences for families. We've learned about children running up to the front desk to borrow videos when they're feeling well enough simply because there's no time to waste. With its arts & crafts nights, guitar therapy, birthday parties, and more, Family House is by no means a dismal place. It's a place where stories are told and there are opportunities to laugh. It's a place where kids get to be kids.
As designers, we seek to understand experiences holistically – including all the highs and lows – but at times we can become focused on problems and challenges rather than strengths. Certainly, one approach of design is to "solve for painpoints," but another is to "replicate the bright spots."1 What would it mean for our team to look at what's working at Family House in order to help solve what isn't?
In the theme of "Transitioning into a new chapter of life," our team is exploring what it's like to transition into Family House. How might we improve the experiences of families and staff during this deeply stressful and emotional time? In light of everything we've learned and with our given line as inspiration, rather than ask ourselves, "How might we solve for X, Y, Z?," we ask, "How might we amplify the magic at Family House?"
Register now and you could be part of this team.

Cooperstown, Otsego, NY
By Holice and Debbie
Cooperstown Churches, Part II
This church was organized Oct. 22, 1816, at a meeting called by A. Canfied and Amos Berry, with the following members: P. Butts, George Roberts, Daniel McLeland, Joseph Perkins and wife, Asher Campbell, Justin Hinman, E. Eaton, Ezra Crane and wife, Andrew Petty and wife, Benjamin Allen and wife, Potter and wife, A. Jarvis and H. Knowlton.
After the organization of the church, services were held in the court-house, school-house, and in private dwellings until 1819, when a church edifice was erected, 35 by 45 feet in size. The building was located on the west side of Chestnut street, on the site now occupied by the Cooper House. The dedicatory services were probably conducted by the Rev. Benjamin G. Paddock, the first stationed clergyman who administered to the spiritual wants of this little flock.
The first trustees o the church were George Roberts, Daniel McLeland, Joseph Perkins, Asher Canfield, and Justin Hinman.
The first church edifice was removed to its present site and enlarged in 1839, during the pastorate of Rev. D. W. Bristol. It was remodeled in 1847 and again repaired and enlarged in 1875, at a cot of $5,000.
A few years after the settlement of Cooperstown, in 1786, the Baptists commenced to hold prayer- and conference-meetings in private houses in the hamlet. Public services were occasionally held, when some missionary or other preacher of their denomination visited the settlement, sometimes in private houses, and, later on, in the school-house or court-house. As early as the commencement of the present century, baptisms near the Otsego rock at the outlet of the lake were of frequent occurrence. This continued until Jan. 21, 1834, when a church society was regularly organized, with Rev. Lewis Raymond as pastor, and in 1835036 the present church edifice was erected at a cost of about $3,000. To accomplish this work a that time required individual sacrifice on the part of many, for the society embraced but few persons of even moderate means; some gave money, others material or labor, and kind friends lent a helping hand. The energy and seal displayed by he pastor were invaluable, and did much to insure success.
Under Elder Raymond's pastorate this church acquired a larger membership--at one time reaching fully 250--than it has ever since attained. They were scattered all about these hills and valleys, within a circuit of ten or twelve miles, and many of them were operatives in the mills south of here. And this pastorate was longer than that of either of his successors, continuing until 1842, a period of eight years. Elder Raymond still survives, a veteran in the service of his Master. He was succeeded by Rev. Stephen Hutchins, who lived to hold the office for only a year, when death severed the connection between a beloved pastor and his people. Rev. John A. Nash was the next pastor, and also remained a year. In 1843, Rev. Francis Prescott accepted a call to the pastorate of the church, and remained about four years, until 1847. Rev. R. G. Toles was his successor for a single year. Rev. George W. Gates was pastor from 1849 to 1852. He succeeded by Rev. E. S. Davis, who held the office of pastor for a single year. Rev. M C. Manning came here in 1854, and left on account of failing health in 1856.
The Rev. Samuel T. Livermore accepted a call to the pastorate of the church in 1856, and continued to hold the office until the spring of 1862. The church saw prosperity and some growth under his administration, --quite a revival,--and a large addition to its membership towards its close. Mr. Livermore induced the society o expend $450 in the erection of a much-needed and convenient chapel for prayer-meetings in 1861; which building was enlarged and improved at a cost of about $325 last fall.
In the fall of 1862 the church gave a call to Everett R. Sawyer, whose family has furnished the Baptist denomination so many preachers of note; it was accepted, and he was ordained as a minister and installed as pastor. His labors among us were blessed, and the church continued to prosper and to increase in membership under his discreet and earnest administration, which was terminated by his acceptance of a call to a much larger field of labor in 1867. Elder Sawyer was that year succeeded by Rev. H. D. Burdick, who remained our pastor one year; and Mr. Burdick by Charles C. Smith, graduate of Madison university, in 1869, who was ordained as a minister, and entered on his duties as pastor. He remained upwards of four years in that office. It was while he was here, and greatly through his earnest efforts, that in the summer of 1870 the society expended nearly $4,000 in enlarging and improving the church edifice.
In the spring of 1874 the church gave a call to George B. Vosberg, another graduate of Madison university, ordaining him as minister in June, when his labors as pastor commenced. They were earnest, energetic, and prayerful throughout, large numbers being added to the membership of the church, so that it about doubled in less then three years. During that time a new organ was purchased, and the chapel was enlarged, at a cost of $1400. It was, therefore, with much regret that the church accepted his resignation at the close of 1876, Elder Vosberg becoming the pastor of the Bergen Baptist church of Jersey City, in January, 1877. The same month this church extended a unanimous call to Rev. F. J. Parry, of Philadelphia, to become its pastor, and were gratified by its early acceptance, and we have reason to hope that his pastorate may prove eminently acceptable and successful among us.
Since the organization of the Baptist church of Cooperstown, it has licensed several of its most devoted members to preach the gospel, some of which remain till now worthy and useful pastors of the church. It has dismissed hundreds of its members to become such in other sister churches, scattered through different States of the Union. Its membership, which had previously slowly dwindled for five or six years--mainly from the cause just given--is fully double what it was at the close of 1873. Removals from this parish make a steady drain on us.
It is a pleasant and cheering fact to record that a distinguishing characteristic of this church has been a unity of feeling and purpose among its membership; the presence of that harmony, kindness, and Christian fellowship which go so far towards making the church of God the most attractive place on earth to the sincere Christian. It has for several years past sustained an annual expenditure which must be deemed very liberal, compared with those of many churches of far greater material resources. May its strength in numbers and in attachment to the good old cause never be less. (The History of Otsego, NY, by Duane Hamilton Hurd, 1878)

Congressional Democrats are now entering day two of a sit-in to demand a vote on gun control reform.
Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, the first female veteran with disabilities to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, left her wheelchair to join other Democrats on the floor of Congress.
Duckworth lost her legs as an army helicopter pilot in Iraq and now represents Illinois in Congress.
In her hands, Duckworth holds a sign that says #NoBillNoBreak and #NoFlyNoBuy.
#NoBillNoBreak explains that the sit-in will continue until Congressional Republicans agree to vote on a bill for gun reform. #NoFlyNoBuy nods to one of the measures proposed — that people on the no-fly list be barred from buying weapons.
Duckworth has even used her own Twitter account to show her nearly 17,000 followers what the act of civil disobedience looks like from her vantage point.
The cameras that record Congress during their proceedings were shut off, which has forced many in Congress to use social media to update the public.
Even C-Span used Periscope and Facebook to broadcast the proceedings.
