Rep. Raul Labrador's self-praising Reader's View published on Dec. 22 is proof that his new communications manager, who used to work for Herman Cain, can certainly spin a story. But the devil, as they say, is in the details.
Mr. Labrador claims that the House of Representatives, currently controlled by a Republican majority, "tackled entitlement reforms." Unfortunately, he — or more accurately, his new communications manager — does not explain what that really means. That is no surprise because when people look at Mr. Labrador's positions, most Idahoans disagree with them.
Mr. Labrador wants to put your Social Security savings into the stock market. Of course, if you had your Social Security in the stock market over the past few years, during the recession, you would have lost a big chunk of it. Then what would you retire on? I guess you would just have to keep working. If you can find a job, that is. Then, too, if everybody's Social Security had been in the stock market, think about how much money the stockbrokers, bankers and investment advisers would have made from managing that money. You remember those guys: the ones whose greed and corruption triggered the recession, the ones who still collected their huge bonuses while your investment savings went down the drain.
Mr. Labrador voted to end Medicare as we know it. Instead of having Medicare simply pay the doctor of your choice directly, he wants the government to give you a voucher that you can give to an insurance company, which then decides whether or not to pay your doctor. You remember those guys, the ones who raised your premiums every year before you qualified for Medicare in order to continue to make a nice profit.
Mr. Labrador voted against extending the payroll tax reduction and extending unemployment benefits, both of which would have expired at the end of 2011, not because he was against them but because he didn't want to pay for them by adding a small tax surcharge on millionaires and billionaires. He wanted to pay for them instead by freezing the salaries of government workers. It seems he believes we should balance the budget on the backs of the little guy in favor of the wealthy.
Mr. Labrador brags about voting against the president's Affordable Health Care Act. What that means is that he would go back to allowing insurance companies to use preexisting conditions to deny coverage to those who need it; that he would allow insurance companies to kick your college-age children off your insurance; and that he would allow insurance companies to put lifetime caps on how much they have to spend on your medical bills. Also, it means he favors going back to having seniors pay more for prescription drugs.
Finally, Mr. Labrador co-sponsored a bill to end subsidies for alternative energy projects, including wind, solar and ethanol. Yet he says nothing about the tax breaks and favorable treatment given to oil companies. You remember those guys: They're the ones who are charging more than $3 a gallon for gasoline and raking in their highest profits in history.
So Mr. Labrador votes in favor of stockbrokers, bankers, insurance companies, millionaires, billionaires and oil companies instead of ordinary Americans. Yet he claims to be doing the people's bidding. Spin.

Hello, I have a really old computer from 1986 that I'm trying to get Windows on. I have a single 3.5 in. floppy drive hooked up to it and no hard drive. Both MS-DOS and PC-DOS hang at the Starting... screen while DR-DOS boots up just fine. I tried putting Windows 1.01, 2.03, and 3.0 on there. In standard mode on 3.0, it says that there's not enough RAM and that it needs to be started in real mode. In real mode, all three versions freeze at the boot screen. Could somebody help me get Windows on this computer?
Pictures of a computer that looks just like it that I found online: vintagecomputer.net
P.S.: My graphics are Hercules Monochrome and I have a serial mouse, if that helps at all.
message edited by Joey2
All those versions require 2 floppy drives or a single floppy and a hard drive. Version 3 must have a hard drive. Real mode or enhanced mode (I think they're the same) require at least a 386 cpu. Version 3 also needs more ram than you have.
Here's some info on hardware requirements for those versions:
There was an undocumented switch for the SETUP command that told it to ignore the hardware requirements. The command was setup/nm. That worked with windows 3.1 but I don't know if it worked with the older ones you're trying.
That's not a system you'd use to run windows on. You need to find something not quite as old.
It's true that you would need a hard drive for virtually any version of Windows to run. You also don't mention how much memory is in the machine. The system requirements for Windows 3.0 are here:
Being that you state the machine is from 1986, it's likely it has an 8088 or 80286 CPU in it, meaning Windows 3.0 (if you have 384K of memory) would be the best you could hope for. (The 80386 was introduced in 1985, but was almost exclusively used in the Compaq Deskpro 386 in 1986). You'd need a compatible HDD for the machine (likely MFM or RLL) to install Windows, and either of those would also need a controller card (which you may or may not have in the machine). A working kard disk of that age will be nearly impossible to find plus finding one that will be supported by such an old system may be even more difficult. You'd also need a complete installation of DOS (which would also require a hard-drive) before you could completely install Windows (though there was some half-hearted successes at getting a minimal amount of the GUI on a single floppy).
And, FWIW, Real or Standard (protected) modes do not require a 386---only 386 Enhanced mode does:
And the Hercules graphics wouldn't be a limitation either:

Now that I know there is little to no hope of getting Windows on there, I wonder why MS-DOS doesn't work.
I'd first suspect the boot disks are bad while the dr dos disks are OK.
Try them on another computer if possible or find/download/create new disks. What dos versions are you trying to use?
To make using that computer somewhat worthwhile you need to get a hard drive in it. I used to come across Sperrys at auction back then. As I recall they were proprietary and probably had on-board drive connections. Do you know what type of drive it takes--MFM/RLL or maybe even an early IDE?
For internal connections, I only see a floppy controller and some ISA ports. I think I will have to get an ISA hard drive controller. Do you know which type I should use?
My budget right now is only about $100, but I think I can save up if (and probably will, with my luck) it costs more.
"I think I will have to get an ISA hard drive controller. Do you know which type I should use?"
If (as DAVEINCAPS says) the hard drive is proprietary, then it's quite possible the controller is as well. That would make finding a hard drive/controller card nearly impossible. It may be that you could use an IDE adapter, but you'd also need to know what size drives the BIOS supports (likely under 250MB for such an old machine). If the machine is truly IBM compatible (hardware wise), then you could possibly also use something like an XT-IDE or XT-CF adapter:
There's also this:

Hi joey,
I think ms-dos 3.n will work with either 1 or 2 floppy disks.
The first Amstrad pc's were ofered in these configurations to lower the price and take in the gullible.
Not mentioned above are 'Hardcards' which had an inbuilt controller and used an expansion slot. Often owners of the above mentioned Amstrads used to upgrade their pc's..
Would think spending any money on this pc, might be wasteful, as hdd's and their controllers are the sort of items one keeps 'just in case' from scrappers. Maybe someone local has some in a box.
PC's from that era were not forward compatible, and thus any Windows version may need greater resources than the pc can provide.
Good Luck - Keep us posted.

Assuming it is a 286 it will have some 16-bit slots (the longer ones). Your best bet would a Promise 16-bit IDE card--if you can find one. I think those will work with a 286 OK but check specs of the card first. Those cards have their own bios so aren't limited to the drive types the motherboard bios allows.
It's within my price range, but I can tell you with certainty that my system does not have Plug and Play. Will it still work? Also, should I try one of my 720 KB diskettes? 1.44 MB diskettes didn't come out until a year after the computer was released.
Plug and play isn't an issue with old hardware.. PnP just means that when it's installed, windows will recognize it and install the drivers, if it has them.
A 286 is capable of handling a 1.44 drive. Are you sure the one you have is a 720? If you don't know you can usually just google the drive model number. Another way is to look inside the drive from the front where you insert the disk. A 720 K drive will have a little vertical sensor pin on the far left just inside the opening. That's to determine if the disk is write-enabled. A 1.44 will have that sensor too but will also have another on the far right just inside the opening. That's to determine if the disk is 720 or 1.44. So if your drive has both then it's a 1.44.
Look on ebay for the hard drive card. They might want a lot for one though.

TAMPA, Fla. -- There has been some Internet chatter that in light of the Derek Jeter retirement news, the Yankees might go after Stephen Drew.
The idea is that Drew could play second and third base this season and then become Jeter's replacement in 2015. As a hypothesis goes, it is not terrible.
However, a source told ESPN New York the Yankees still aren't interested in Drew. It didn't sound as if they are going to change their minds, either.
The Yankees could hope that hitting coach Kevin Long can turn the slick-fielding Brendan Ryan into a better hitter. If that doesn't work, they could always go into free agency (J.J. Hardy after this season) or make a trade for maybe someone like Troy Tulowitzki or Jose Reyes.
Maybe Drew signs a one-year deal and the Yankees go after him after the upcoming season.
Numbers never lie: Robinson Cano's No. 24 will be worn by nonroster invitee Scott Sizemore.
I'm no Mo: David Robertson made it clear he is not trying to live up to any legendary expectations. He might be the next Yankees closer after Mariano Rivera, but he is not replacing the all-time saves leader.
As Robertson praised Jeter, he drew the comparison to the to-be-determined 2015 Yankees shortstop and his position now.
"Obviously, they are not going to be Derek Jeter," Robertson said. "Whoever takes over, they'll have big shoes to fill. It is kind of like my situation with Mo. I don't expect to step in and be Mariano Rivera. I'm not. Everyone knows that."
Robertson played down the idea that there is much of a difference between pitching the eighth and the ninth. While on a technical level each require three outs, many baseball people -- including Yankees GM Brian Cashman -- believe the final ones come with a different set of mental hurdles.
"If you make mistakes in the ninth, it costs you the game. If you make mistakes in the eighth, it costs you the game," Robertson said. "It is nice to know sometimes you can get away with making a mistake in the eighth and Mo can come in and close it."
As for Jeter, Robertson echoed the universal praise.
"Right now, I'm thinking about the first time I saw him do his jump throw," Robertson said. "We were playing the Florida Marlins, and I come in the dugout and I'm like, 'I can't believe he got to that ball, jumped and threw it.' And I got to see it in person and I'm on the field with him. It [is] memories like that that I'm going to hold on to and cherish."
Robertson added Jeter said hi to him as a rookie, which made him feel a little more at ease in the clubhouse.
Impressions: Michael Pineda looks as if he is in great shape -- a huge contrast from two years ago. He will compete for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. Alex Rodriguez's locker is vacant.
Tanakapalooza: Masahiro Tanaka was given the honor of taking Rivera's old locker. Tanaka said he didn't know if he were worthy. Tanaka also said he will try to adapt to the American way of doing things. That will be part of his transition to the majors. Tanaka said that Hiroki Kuroda just advised him to be himself.
McCann can't: Brian McCann was cordial in his first spring training meeting with the media, but he didn't say much. He did express that he doesn't think he will be the next face of the Yankees after Jeter.
My best prediction for that honor is Tanaka because of his youth and the fact he has not played for any other major league teams. Plus, if you look at the next five seasons of the Yankees, he might be the most important player -- well, until they spend their next half billion or so.

LC3 represents a mammalian homologue of the yeast autophagy related gene ATG8. It was originally characterized as light chain 3 of the microtubule associated protein 1 (MAP1LC3). The protein family consists of LC3 A, B, and C and the GABARAP subfamily. Human LC3B is 125 amino acids long. After synthesis, it is cleaved by ATG4B to expose a C-terminal glycine, representing the cytosolic form LC3B I. During autophagy the C-terminus is covalently linked to autophagosomal vesicle membranes via a phospholipid anchor and this form is called LC3B II. The transformation of LC3B I to II is mediated by a ubiquitination-like process involving ATG7 (E1), ATG3 (E2) and the ATG16L complex (E3). To date, LC3B is considered as the most persistent marker of the autophagy pathway.
AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In an AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated anti-analyte antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Donor beads while another anti-analyte antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads causes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.

Product brochure for the Alpha Technology, a versatile, no wash, homogeneous assay technology that's suitable for a broad range of applications.
Biomarker levels were measured directly in CulturPlates-96 and-384 in a simple, fast, all-in-one-well AlphaLISA assay format. The elimination of transfer and wash steps simplifies cellular assays, reduces variability and significantly reduces hands-on time and costs associated with consumables. Integral plasma membrane (EGFR) and secreted solubleproteins (TNFa, IL1ß, IL6, IL8) were successfully determined, on adherent or suspension cells, using the standard AlphaLISA Immunoassay buffer.
The AlphaLISA® assay is a homogeneous immunoassay alternative to classical ELISA. AlphaLISA assays were originally utilized to detect analytesin cell cultures upernatants or serum/plasma samples.
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay is the most widely Kits adopted method for detection and quantification of cytokines and other biomarkers. This traditional technology offers good,selectivity, sensitivity and assay versatility; however, it has certain disadvantages such as limited dynamic range and low throughput due to the numerous wash steps.

The Maine House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a bill to allow citizens to carry concealed weapons without a permit. L.D. 652, which would eliminate the permitting requirement to carry a concealed weapon (and also permit people to carry a weapon in a car), passed with bipartisan support in a 83-62 vote. The bill passed through the Senate on May 28. Gov. Paul LePage has indicated that he will sign the bill into law.
Maine, a "shall-issue" state, has issued over 36,000 concealed weapons permits, including permits to out-of-state residents. Maine has exceptionally low crime rates, and a relatively high rate of gun ownership.
It was already legal to openly carry a firearm in the state of Maine. Seven other states, including fellow New England state Vermont, have "Constitutional Carry" laws on the books.

I don't find my kitchen messy doing this...as for the floor. I have a hand vac and I keep out for quick pick up after snack and lunch-best investment!

A call back to the Golden Days of Hip Hop, Don't Smoke Rock is the newest collaborative record from Smoke DZA and Pete Rock. Both now veterans in rap, the two heavy weights put their gridiron creative flows to work and spawn something that is both brand new, but also nostalgic.
Don't Smoke Rock opens with "Intro," a track that uses Smoke DZA to describe the past of New York and how this album is going to take you back into a state of the old world. "This motherfucker in ya capsule, this something that only come around once in a lifetime…Last of a dying breed." The instrumental features a soft piano and what sounds similar to an electronic cell-phone ring before jumping right into the action with "Limitless."
Featuring some more than flashy instrumentals from Pete Rock, "Limitless" uses symphonic strings and a mix of rapid percussive smacks and hi-hat clicks to make up most of the beat behind the clever verses from both DZA and Dave East from Mass Appeal Records. Also Harlem-based, Dave East delivers the hook of the track and it goes well with the instrumental, including, "There ain't no limit to this life I'm living, Champagne spilling, bunch of topless women. I wake up like I just got to get to it. I'm limitless, never find something as real as this."
This is also in tandem with DZA's two verses where he can proudly exclaim, "Big meals at Frankie & Johnny's, I tip generous. Ain't no ceilings for DZA, my shit limitless." Smoke DZA has a few clever bars here and there but the instrumental is where "Limitless," can truly shine as it is a valiant mix of a new age boom-bap style of percussion, and a wonderful arrangement of strings that gradually build up until reaching the bursting limit and they are in a full-blown blast. The instrumental then slows down into a ten-second funk loop before shining the famous, "Maybach Music."
Ricky Rozay starts "Black Superhero Car," where he explains, "Praying all my niggas live long, pray all my niggas rich forever, you heard me?" Before releasing his verse however, Smoke DZA comes in and immediately starts cracking on the track ripping lyrics about, "I'm from this lil part of Harlem, shit is like Iraq. Young boy barking but his gat bite back, Nigga playing, you will lay, life facts," and "Money on your head, put your life on the wall." DZA's verse then fades into the chorus where he delivers the line, "Big figures way before rap, all black 600 Benz, Big nigga lighting that pack, lay back counting my ends."
The chorus then lets Rick Ross come into frame with his verse and it was surprisingly uplifting, explaining, "Threw us under the basement, now it's penthouses and homes. Food stamps and Medicaid raised every nigga I know." The chorus by DZA comes shining one more time before the popping strings and snares come to a fading, but complete stop.
"Hold the Drums" is the following track and it starts off with more of a gentle beginning with a crescendoing hi-hat rattle and some record scratches. Going true with the track's title, "Hold the Drums" has almost no percussive bass or snare hits, instead it relies on a piano and upright bass to lay down the flow of the track and features a slick verse from DZA and Royce DA 5'9". This track is a smooth break from the usual cracking action of the rest of Don't Smoke Rock, but in usual fashion, the next track is a jump right back to the previous sounds.
Opening with a silky woman's voice, "Moving Weight Pt. 1" is a quick-witted and stylish approach to a plucked stringed instrumental and a booming amount of bass drums and snare rolls. DZA continues to deliver a fashionable amount of lines varying from, "King of the under pavement, real New Yorker Knick fan when they was under Layden. Underrated under paid 'em, Nah dog I'm from the money makin'." To a verse about, "You was in the crib watching That's So Raven, I'm a known problem. Old Harlem talkin' buildings vacant." Smoke DZA manages a way to make his bars flow and keep the beat feeling so powerful when put together in a collaboration. Don't Smoke Rock is the collaboration album that no one knew we needed.
The following track, "Wild 100s" is the most interesting track on Don't Smoke Rock". It focuses on using some outstanding and abrasive string instruments, paired with a smooth kick bass and snare combination. The pair could truly be released as its own piece and stand singular, then when DZA delivers his verse which is an egotistical lyrical spree where he describes, "Hop on a joint with me, it's manslaughter. Listening to myself on Pandora, run down with choppers not camcorders." He then delivers a hook where horns kick in and support the lyrics, "Dead in the middle of the wild 100's, I spit riddles and get wild 100's."
There is only a brief pause where the beat starts to slow down and segue into "Last Name," where everything takes a chilled approach and lets the beat ride out into more of a melodic bass and guitar line focused section. This makes up the primary instrumental and features little hints of Pete Rock where is more of a hype-man to DZA. Smoke DZA delivers a few lines of intrigue but overall the track is nothing too crazy or memorable when compared to the next track, "1 of 1."
Beginning with a spacious boom-bap New York throwback beat, DZA comes in announcing, "Taped in, whole 'nother energy. Bo Jack minus the injuries." Pete Rock is also featured but does not contain a verse, instead he throws in quips behind DZA and works again as a hype man. The surprising section of the track is a feature from Peter Rosenberg who had a sample taken from his birthday concert in NYC where he shouts out DZA, saying, "Make some motherfucking noise for Smoke DZA right now New York. Harlem stand the fuck up." Quite the way to end the track and launch into "Milestone."
An ice-cold instrumental with pianos and an elegant boom-bap beat that claps over a spacious backing synth to complete the slick instrumental. DZA then comes right in and quickly passes the torch to BJ The Chicago Kid, Styles P, and Jadakiss who are the guest of "Milestone" and they all deliver some classy sounding verse that fit well over the simple, but well-produced beat. Jadakiss delivers a hopeful bar explaining, "Left the drugs in the hood, took my show on the road. Figured they ain't never been nowhere I show 'em." This then leads to the chorus produced by Chicago Kid where the lyrics, "I'm gon' hold you down, even when it's all up, even when it all goes down. I'm around."
Then there is the final track, "Until Then," which features Mac Miller. The instrumental is a classy themed bass line running beat that uses a sly hi-hat clasp and a Morse-code like synth that echoes behind the vocals of the track. DZA has says a few verses about, "it's a vicious cycle science, busy tryna make sense of it." This then leads into Miller's verse where he explains, "I live and died at least three or four times before, had my funeral so drop the top and suicide the coffin doors." DZA then has the hook repeat before letting the beat ride out into a complete switch up giving a shout out to New York and happily explaining, "Don't Smoke Rocks."

Don't Be Like Me
October 17th 2014
Story originally written and experienced: September 6th 2008
I was dancing on a pool table.
Everyone was.
Most everyone at least.
Drinks spil
On ensembles decorated with makeshift Hawaiian prints.
As every frat boy and every frat girl collided
oFf> < RyThYm
On the dance floor.
We were 19 years old. Partying the way every college kid knew how: Cheap beer. Pop music. Good friends. Whilst wearing bright shirts or jerseys under the given sorority/fraternity mixer theme "Mali…booze."
…The requirement of jerseys is still yet to be determined.
…As are these faces I found on my camera the next morning:
And my decision to take a picture with a lassie wearing this shirt:
And then I left. >>
Because I was drunk. And I was tired. And I wanted to go to my friend Tim's dorm room because…
…well because…
I heard he had a gigantic…
My friends and I snacked pretty hard that night.
And we never left.
Except when we did.
I went first.
Claiming I had "more snacks back at my place" when really all I wanted to do was make a semi-sober call. To my cousin. Sam. No reason really. Just to talk.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hiii Olive! What's up?"
"Walking home from a friend's place. I just ate a shit ton of cake."
"Still a lady I see."
"Always a lady."
"How was your night?"
"A little ridiculous. I danced on a pool table in a sequined tank top from Express. I'm already having a self-judging hangover."
"Well, did you have fun at least?"
"Too much."
"Well good."
"Hope it wasn't too much though."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I don't know. I just joined this damn sorority and 3 seconds later I'm publicly two-stepping on innocent furniture 6 feet into the sky"
"Were you embarrassed about it?"
"Not at all, it was a fucking blast. But. I'm thinking I should make an attempt to be a more civilized human being. Like you."
"Don't do that."
"Don't do what?"
"Don't be like me."
"Don't be like anyone. Where's the fun in that? Probably not on pool tables."
"So philosophical of you."
"I'm being serious! I was actually just thinking about this other day. This idea of ++ adding and – – subtracting qualities to ourselves that inevitably = a version that isn't entirely us. Sure maybe we can generally strive to be nicer, better, more motivated, more confident. But. The actual building blocks of our personalities? Well, those are the best. The most unique. Imagine. If everyone made it a point to behave the same way in every situation. Go for the same goals. Say the same things. Make the same jokes. How incredibly uninteresting would this world be?"
"Probably pretty stupid."
"Are you drunk?"
"Totally. Oh. Also, I see some of my friends! Can I call you a little later?"
"Hahaha yes definitely. Have fun!"
And just like that we hung up the phone. And that was that. Except. The next morning when I woke up. I remembered that phone call. And I remembered it a lot. What my cousin said. And the reasons why she said it.
Thing is.
It's a completely normal thing. To compare ourselves. Want to better ourselves. Get self conscious about ourselves. And be proud of ourselves too. FlUcTuAtInG between days where we just don't give a damn and the days where we kind of care a lot.
Do the like me? Do they not? What do they think and why? Do I care? Yes I do. No I don't.
I'm not really sure.
Forgetting that.
No matter what room you're in. Or place you're at. There will never. Ever. Be a duplicate of yourself there too.
And that's kind of kick ass.
You're the sense of humor that made the joke no one will think of. The logical one who seems to make everything make sense. The wild one with the epic one liners. The quiet and cool one who balances out the madness. The panicky one who makes everyone panic but also gets shit done. The hott mess who is a total hott mess but goddamnit the party wouldn't be the same without you.
Maybe you're the person on the pool table shamelessly dancing the night away—giving people quality snap chat footage near and far.
The classy individual 3 feet
Saying to yourself "Looks like she's having fun. But I'm much happier down here."
And cheers to that.
For balancing shit out. Knowing what you like. Don't like. And being perfectly fine with both.
Because why be like anyone.
When it's so goddamn awesome being you.

Let's see. What to say about Noah these days.
His most annoying habit these days is closing any door in the house he passes that's open.
The flip side of this is that in the past week he's also started knocking on doors and saying "who's there?" or "who's home?" I assume he picked this up at school.
Something he's been doing for a while, that I assume - and hope - is common for his age is having his favorite little things that he sleeps with and/or takes in the car with him. It can be this little airplane toy or his glow worm or two long, blue duplos stuck together, or his Jake book. The one good thing is that he is willing and able to go find/get them most of the time. But, it does also mean we have to sort of at least have an idea of where they are to tell him to go look.
Remember about four to six weeks ago when we tried to put new shoes on his feet and he reacted as if we'd set his feet on fire. Fun times. Well, Saturday he got his shoes wet and they weren't dry by the time we wanted to go somewhere. So, we got the new shoes, put them on his feet, and he's been happy to wear them ever since. Woohoo. I guess he realized they were more comfy than the old ones.
We're also fond of remembering the days when he was a nice, quiet little boy. We listened when people said that probably wouldn't last. It didn't. Boy does he jabber a lot. I'd say we're up to understanding about 40% or so. He's constantly learning new words and phrases. I still think part of his problem could be his brain working faster than his mouth.
He still watches quite a bit of Curious George, and a little Sofia, but now he's in love with Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Last week I was eating a little cheese pizza for lunch and he ended up eating about 1/4 of it. Tonight, Ching had some steam bag corn and he helped himself to a few bites. So there is hope that he will expand his list of foods beyond 20 things. His absolute favorite food right now is Jello. Thankfully, he didn't mind all that much when we were out of it.
Oh yeah. Potty training. We have NO idea how it works. Thanks to pre-school, he's started using his potty chair several times a day. Mostly we have him use it in the morning before getting dressed, before and after his nap, and then before his bath. He's getting better at pulling down his pants and pull-ups. He's not to the point where he says, "hey, let's go potty" yet. But, he's doing better at this point than we thought he'd be. We just don't really know how to "move the process forward".

Send-Off Event For Canadian Women's Rugby Team In Toronto
Rugby Canada hosted a special event in Toronto to celebrate the national senior women's rugby team before their departure for Ireland and to recognise the accomplishments of all Canadian female athletes. Tourism Ireland was one of the official promotional partners at the event, which took place in Toronto this week, to wish the team well and to raise the profile of the tournament which takes place in Dublin and Belfast next month.
PIC SHOWS: Dana Welch (fifth left) and Alison Metcalfe (front, seventh right), both Tourism Ireland, with members of the Canadian women's rugby team, at a special send-off event in Toronto organised by Rugby Canada.
At the event, Tourism Ireland ran a competition to highlight the Women's Rugby World Cup, with the chance to win a trip for two to Ireland, including tickets to one of Women's World Cup matches.
The tournament pool stages kick off on 9 August in Dublin (in UCD) and the finals will be played in Belfast (Queen's and Kingspan Stadium) on 22-26 August. Tourism Ireland is rolling out its Women's Rugby World Cup campaign right now, to leverage the tourism benefits of the tournament. The organisation is urging rugby fans and potential visitors everywhere to come for the games and then stay for the craic – reminding them that, in Ireland, we love our rugby and we're prepared to be the perfect host for this year's tournament in Dublin and Belfast.
Dana Welch, Tourism Ireland's Manager Canada, said: "We're delighted that the Women's Rugby World Cup is taking place here next month. The Rugby Canada send-off event for the Canadian team helps raise the profile of the tournament and the fact that it's taking place in Dublin and Belfast next month. Tourism Ireland is encouraging rugby fans and potential visitors in Canada and other rugby-loving countries to come and join in the electric atmosphere of Dublin and Belfast's great sporting arenas and explore these beautiful cities as they enjoy the games. Our message is that the island of Ireland is a fantastic place to visit – where they're guaranteed a wonderful experience and the warmest of welcomes."
"Rugby Canada is very thankful to Tourism Ireland for its support of our official send-off event for our national senior women's team, as they begin their journey to the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup in Ireland this August! The excitement of all our fantastic supporters and fans at the send-off event was bolstered by the amazing opportunity to win a trip for two to Ireland to watch the semi-finals match, graciously provided by Tourism Ireland," stated Allen Vansen, CEO of Rugby Canada.
"Rugby Canada enjoys a fantastic long-standing relationship with the Irish Rugby Football Union and our women's team are incredibly excited to challenge for the pinnacle trophy in the women's games in front of many Canadian fans who will be traveling to Ireland to take in the tournament," Vansen added.

Enjoy or be In-joy?
Enjoy the weekend, activity, dinner, event…whatever it is, enjoy! Take delight, take pleasure, blah, blah, blah. I get sick of people telling me to enjoy everything. I don't enjoy going to the dentist, or the gas station and shoot me now, when I go to the DMV.
A marshmallow day in the life of Holly Pasut
Stuffing a marshmallow in a parking meter is like saying: whatever you do, it's just not working. I posted this little fav of mine the other day and got a few laughs and thumbs up of understanding.
Change is the Enemy of the Ego
Change can also be uncomfortable especially when you have no control over the situation. The ego will fight change and at times with all costs. Ask the drug addict, or the physically abused spouse, or the sexually harassed employee. (male or female).

Sustainable agriculture: eating the 'Third Plate'
Dan Barber was essentially serving 'Second Plate' food at his New York restaurant when a visit to the organic farm that grew his wheat radically changed his outlook. He visited in the off-season and was startled to see the entire farm covered in unfamiliar crops: no wheat in sight. What he was seeing were the cover crops, without which the land would be unable to produce wheat later in the year. They were also mostly human-edible, but were all either sold for animal feed or ploughed under. No one could be found to buy them as human food.
That eventually turned him into an ardent advocate for a much more sustainable 'Third Plate'. On this new plate, instead of finding the same foods simply grown differently, you find food that is served in the kind of ratios you need to grow it in order to sustain productive land. In his region, that means eating a lot of legumes and buckwheat in place of much of the more familiar meat and bread. Listen to him expanding these ideas here.
It gelled with so much of what I've been thinking for so long!
So often I hear sustainable agriculture expressed in terms of organics. I've never been convinced. Overuse of fertiliser and pesticides is, indeed, harmful to the soil and the wider ecosystem; but I'm unconvinced that organics are generally any better.
Some organic farms are like the one Dan Barber described in the interview I mentioned earlier. But much of the organic produce commercially available comes from industrial monocrop farms which pay little more respect to their local ecosystem than their conventional neighbours. Much of the organic produce sold in Europe is grown in Egypt on land that was formerly desert - vastly disrupting its natural ecosystem by trucking in nutrients that do not belong there. There are also plenty of organic almonds produced alongside conventional ones in California's Central Valley - an area with such extreme monocropping that no insects can be found for miles on end.
This 'Third Plate' idea sounded much more genuinely sustainable.
Martin and I want to live a lifestyle that is scalable: we want to live such that, were everyone else to live like us, there would still be enough of everything to go around. It's part of how we try to heed Jesus' command to love our neighbours as ourselves. We're a long way from that goal, but eating responsibly is a huge part of how we're trying to get there. I've long favoured mixed-cropping over organics as a system much more likely to lead to long-term soil fertility, but I've yet to find a way to identify food grown this way. I'd love to be able access food grown on a farm like this one! So instead, we've focused our efforts on reducing our animal-protein consumption and, for the meal a week when we do cook meat, we often try to choose goatmeat. Many of the goats butchered in New Zealand are semi-feral goats, kept on the margins of farm properties to increase land productivity by keeping down difficult weeds like blackberry and gorse. We hope that, by helping keep the market for their meat alive, we're also encouraging a sustainable form of weed control. In fact, learning about the roles animals can play in agricultural systems is part of why, although we don't eat much meat, we're neither vegetarian nor vegan. Over-farming of animals is, of course, hugely destructive, but in many landscapes you can get more food per acre by including some animals in the mix, so we feel that a diet that is scalable needs to include them.
That's as far as our thinking had got, but Dan Barber takes these ideas further. Explicitly thinking about the balance of foodstuffs a piece of land can produce, and choosing to eat them all (and to eat them in the ratios they grow) was a new idea to me.
It reminded me of some things I've been reading about 'agroecological systems': traditional farming systems that function as mini-ecosystems and have been able to be sustained for centuries. One such system is Asian 'rice-duck agriculture' - raising ducks right in the rice paddies, where they eat the insects and weeds whilst fertilising the crop. There are many other examples here.
It also made me think of the work of Bren Smith, an ex-cod fisherman from New England who's been trying to work out how to develop aquaculture in his region without poisoning the sea the way so many farms have poisoned the land. He's developed what he refers to as 3D aquaculture, where the waste from each crop becomes nutrients for the next one further down the water column. He encourages people to 'eat like fish': feasting on protein-rich kelps and smaller fish rather than always going for the top predators.
In earlier centuries, our ancestors ate like this of necessity. In recent times, those of us in wealthy, land-rich parts of the world have instead become accustomed to picking off the 'cream of the crop' and discarding the rest. There is no way this kind of agriculture is globally scalable. If we want all our global neighbours to be able to access the calories and nutrients they need to flourish, it looks like how we all eat will need to change. We are keen to continue learning how to eat the 'Third Plate' ourselves and are excited such a prominent chef is giving himself to its promotion :-)
