On Sunday, September 2, Cheryl passed away peacefully at home, her husband and children at her side.
Cheryl Lorene was born September 15, 1951, in Oregon City, the first child of James and Glorene (Hostetler) Howard. She grew up living with her parents and her five younger siblings in the Canby and Wilsonville areas.
Cheryl graduated from West Linn High School in 1969 and from Oregon College of Education in 1973. She married Daniel Palmer, of Dallas, at Calvary Mennonite Church in Aurora in September 1972.
Cheryl, Daniel, and their children lived in Salem for 13 years before moving to Milwaukie in 1991. For 25 years Cheryl was employed as the receptionist at Harmony Road Dental Practice, where she worked with her sisters and enjoyed greeting patients, watching their families grow up and running into them at Freddy's.
In 1997, Cheryl joined St. Nicholas Orthodox Church. The parish community became an important part of her life. She cherished the friendship and fellowship of her fellow parishioners, and enjoyed quietly serving the community she held dear.
Cheryl loved being a wife to Daniel, mother to her four children, and Nana to her two grandchildren. Blessed with a large and loving extended family, she had an abiding affection for all members of her clan.
Cheryl loved to travel. While she was in school she looked into becoming a flight attendant, but it wasn't until 1998 that she flew on her first commercial flight to visit her daughter in France. She loved Paris and made regular trips to Germany to spend time with her daughter and her family. Cheryl liked Disneyland and made a point of taking her grandchildren there while she was still able to travel. Being a good Oregonian, she made annual pilgrimages to the Oregon coast and delighted in strolls on the beach.
As much as she loved traveling, Cheryl also enjoyed domestic activities at home and with her family. She spent many hours tending her lovely gardens and reading (outside, whenever possible). She kept her hummingbird feeder full and did her best to keep the squirrels away from the birdseed. She enjoyed walks through the neighborhood, waving to and chatting with neighbors, and had a weekly puzzle appointment with her sister.
Cheryl is loved and missed by her husband, Daniel; children, Amy of Portland, Melinda (Florian) Kolb of Jena, Germany, Daniel of Anchorage, Alaska, and Mark, with Heather, Nigel, and Faith Taylor, of Forest Grove; grandchildren, Eleanor and Johann Kolb of Jena; sisters, Beth Matile of Milwaukie, Jenny (Rod) Lucich of Oregon City, and Lauri (David) Conway of Ridgefield, Washington; brothers, James (Jeanne) Howard of Oregon City and John Howard, with Erin Bourke, of Tigard; several nieces and nephews; many beloved family members and friends. Her parents preceded her in death.
Two services will be held at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church at 2210 SW Dolph Court in Portland. A Funeral Vigil will be 7 p.m. Friday, September 7 and a Divine Liturgy at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, September 8. A light meal will be served after the Saturday service.
Burial will be at Zion Memorial Park Cemetery at 2010 SE Township Road in Canby on Saturday, September 8, at 2 PM.
In lieu of flowers, Cheryl's family requests that donations in her memory be made to Providence Milwaukie Hospice Fund.

Carmel and I first spoke a couple of years back at a fundraising event for a literacy organization I used to work with. We kept up a friendship, meeting seasonally to catch up over tea between phone calls, emails, and letters - yes, she is one of the few people I know in this day and age who still enchants with good old letter-writing. It comes as little surprise as she's a writer who came of age in the late 1950's, long before blogging and texting and instagram, and has seen firsthand the changing of the times. She has a wealth of stories to share, and her seemingly endless arsenal of wit and knowledge never ceases to fascinate me. She's written more than two dozen books and has contributed to several publications including Harper's, The New York Times, Woman magazine, Cosmopolitan, and Datebook - to name a few.
When did your writing career start? Was it when you first wrote something, when you first had something published?
I was 8 years old. I was living in Washington Heights, and I was going to Public School 189. I was reading Shakespeare, and I was very impressed so I decided to write a play. I wrote a wonderful part for myself - I was the fairy queen, and then there were all the bad people who were trying to do away with the fairy queen, and then there were all the good people she knew and liked. I wrote out each of the parts, naturally giving myself the best part. What's the point of writing a play if you're not going to give yourself the best part? I went around to all the parents of the children I'd given the parts to and asked them if they would please see to the costumes.
Was this a school assignment?
No. I was just reading and so impressed with what I was reading that I wanted to write also. The play was such a success that the school decided to put it on in the auditorium for the whole school. When I think about it now, how I did all that, I don't know, but I did do it all. It was amazing. I tried to mimic a lot of what I read then in Shakespeare, and I kept writing plays every term after that. When I got to high school, I was editor of the yearbook, and I always wrote short stories. Then I went to New York University - Washington Square College of Arts and Sciences. I always wanted to be a writer. After college I lived in the Village and wrote for a few magazines including Harper's Bazaar. You know this is just always what I wanted to do, and that's how it all moved along.
You graduated college in the 60's, did you find at that time there were a lot of other female writers, or was it mostly male-dominated?
There were a lot of other women writers. One of my favorites was Hortense Calisher, who was also one of my good friends. She was married to Curtis Harnack, also a friend and writer. Leighla Whipper Ford was another female writer who was a very good friend of mine, and her daughter, Carol Ione, became a writer as well. And there were many other women writers I met through various literary agencies I was involved with.
So you had a close group of friends who were all writers, did you ever read each other's work and give feedback?
Occasionally, but I'll tell you one thing, we all decided while we were doing this, there was no point if we weren't being honest with one another.
I know you've written about a lot of different things, what propelled you to delve into various topics? How did you decide what to focus on?
What happened was, I became a freelancer. I had a lot of different jobs writing for different magazines, assignments for different stories and so on. One of the things I loved the best though was this magazine called Datebook. It was a very serious magazine for teenagers - we were compared to Seventeen. I was an editor and writer at Datebook, and at that time there were only two of us on staff. It was a lot of work, but we believed in it, and we had a lot of contacts so people would help out and contribute without being compensated with a lot of money. My work there really was very rewarding, even if not financially for some time.
I was working for Datebook at the time the civil rights marches were going on, and we really wanted to cover that in the magazine. It wasn't a topic many magazines for teenagers wanted to cover, and it was controversial. In a lot of the southern states, they would pull our magazine from the stands because we were writing about what was really going on. Terrible things were happening at that time in Selma and throughout the south.
In addition to covering political issues, we were some of the first people who covered the Beatles. Arthur, my partner who I worked with, went and heard them in England, knowing how hot they were before they hit the states. So we decided to do a one-shot, which is one issue about the life and the times of one topic, in this case, one group, the Beatles. Of course, it sold out, and we made a lot of money - finally. That's what really saved the magazine was this one shot.
What about the book you wrote on advice for young girls – can you tell me a bit about that?
Yes, that was my first book, and it emerged pretty easily from Datebook. It was called What Girls Want to Know About Boys. I wrote it, and Arthur Unger edited it. It was very different times then to write a book like this. (It was published in 1962). It's funny - there was actually an article in the times a few years ago about what to advise your teenage daughter about sex and such, and someone referenced my book, although they said it was very outdated, haha. I was writing to very young teenagers like 13, 14, 15 years old. I wrote in there, when it comes to sex, don't. At 13 you shouldn't. And someone in the Times article said well no one is going to listen to that anymore, but that's what I thought, and that's what I wrote. It was serialized in the Post when it came out and was later translated into Japanese and Dutch, so it did very well at the time. I was in my late twenties when I wrote that book, my first book.
Would you say it was a feminist book? How did feminists respond to it?
Well, some years later I wrote another book specifically from a feminist point of view. An agent called me and said he wanted to do a book about automobiles, how to take care of your car or something like that (A Women's Guide to the Care and Feeding of an Automobile). I didn't know anything about cars, so I did all the research. I wrote if you know how to cook a stew, you can learn how to fix a car, and one woman editor said that's very anti-feminist! And I said why is that anti-feminist? And she said well because you're talking about cooking, and I said well, people cook, women cook, men cook too. So what? If you can do this, you can do that. That's the idea I was leading with - that women can learn anything.
So you basically took the stance that women can do anything that men can do?
Yes, exactly.
And you proved that in writing this book – doing all this research about cars, and then writing the book on it.
Yeah, I did. I did the research. I interviewed all these Ford people. And in my interviews I made these connections with people who said if you ever wanted to borrow a car for the weekend, just let us know, so one weekend I did. The car we rented was a nice Ford, and Harry (her late husband and co-author of the book Lovers) and I drove it over to the beach one day. We went swimming all day, then went to get back in and start the car, and it wouldn't start. I turned to Harry who was wanting to call a mechanic and said wait, wait let me take a look. Harry didn't know what to do, but I opened the hood, took a look, and fixed it. So there's that.
Would you consider yourself a feminist?
Yes, of course. And I would call my mother a feminist, and my grandmother a feminist. My grandmother said to her daughter - my family is from Hungary, very middle-class family, and in those days you know middle-class women did not work - but my grandmother said I want each of you to learn one thing, I don't care what, but you have you learn one thing, because who knows what will happen down the road, and I want each of you to know how to do something so whatever happens you can take care of yourself, you can make some of your own money. Then along came the Second World War, and they left Hungary and came to the states, and they all knew how to do their one thing. Whether it was knitting or crocheting or something with arithmetic, each of them was able to work, and that was because of my grandmother. My mother worked too. She was actually one of the few mothers of children at my school who did work, but she wanted to, she liked it. She worked at Saks Fifth Avenue, and I was always dressed in Saks clothes. People assumed we were rich, although we really weren't. But I came home one day and asked my parents if we were rich, and my mother said "Absolutely!" My aunt was upset and asked her why she told me that, and my mother said she didn't want me to worry about it, or worry about having to get a job when I was that young. Her and my father were so supportive of my writing. I would ask her if I could help her with chores around the house or cooking, and she would let me, but then she would say, just go write, I want you to write.
Do you have a favorite book that you've written?
Yes, Lovers, the book I wrote with Harry. I think it's a wonderful book, and for a long time we thought it would become a television movie.
What was it like writing a book with someone else?
Well, this book was a story from two points of view. We alternated chapters. The woman's point of view and the man's. It goes back and forth. It was great fun, it wasn't a problem at all. We just did it.
Have you ever been discouraged in your career or received negative feedback? How did you deal with that?
Of course, you have to learn to deal with rejection. I mean ten publishers are going to turn your book down before the 11th says it's wonderful. You can't be thin-skinned about it. You just write something else.
How do you know when a piece is done, with writing and rewriting and editing?
Well, I don't do too much editing. I write it once, I go over it once, and that's it. But you know every writer has their own style and process. And if I think of something after the fact that I should have added, or a new idea, I just write something else. Writing is such a personal thing that I don't know how much advice you can give to someone else because it comes from the gut, and everyone has a different take on things.
What advice would you give to writers just starting out?
The thing is you have to sit down and write. Don't say to yourself, one day I'll do this, I'll plan to this. No. You have to write all the time. If it doesn't sell, put it aside and write another book. Not everything is going to sell. You just have to write. The problem now about becoming a writer, it's a whole different time, a lot of publishing houses have merged, it's very difficult to find an agent, it's very hard to sell. It's a full-time job writing, and then it's a full-time job trying to sell what you write. What with blogging and websites, it's very different now. I mean, when I think back to when I got books published, my agents and the publishers took care of everything with the promotion, where I would go to speak, the logistics, and the funds to do it all. They did it all for you, now they don't do that. You have to do it yourself, and it costs a lot of money, and it takes a lot of time. I think it has a lot to do with the internet and social media which has taken over things. Now, everybody's online, and it's very different from how it used to be. If you want to be a writer, then you have to do it because you love writing, not because you can make a lot of money from it. It's no longer a career like that, I mean for some people of course, but no one thinks; now I'll get into writing to make a million dollars, you do it because you love it.

How did Monday sneak up on us so fast?
Maybe its because I took a nice "stay-cation" last week and disconnected. I may have peaked at some Inta's and FB posts just to see what the world is up to but really, I lost myself in picking up the mess that is my house, went to the zoo with family, drank coffee while it was STILL HOT, went to my second Rockies game this season with my best friend, had a date night with my amazing hubby and really, just chilled.
This morning I am at home waiting for the plumber because I have that kind of time. Stupid line couldn't back up while I was ON vacation, nope… always happens on the weekend and thankfully it wasn't an emergency so we could push it to today and avoid the "weekend rate" – everyone say a little prayer for my checkbook today!
Soooooooo, while I am waiting I decided I needed to jump back on this wagon because lasts weeks was a lot of fun. Everyone needs a little music to get their mornings going, ESPECIALLY on a Monday!
It's another catchy tune by a couple of cuties!
Here is to a great week everyone.

text: Here you can find list of five of the top players at the tournament and their chances of clinching the Golden Boot in Russia. Lionel Messi (10.00) is generally regarded as the world's classiest player and it's no surprise to see him prominent in the World Cup top goalscorer market. The Barcelona magician is to net the most goals in the competition and he looks to be the most sensible wager in this market. He comes off the back of a superb season at Barcelona, helping his side wrap up the La Liga title with 29 goals in his first 30 games. Argentina may not impressed in the build-up to this tournament but they are almost certain of group qualification and should reach the latter stages of the event. He netted four times in Brazil back in 2014 and although he missed out on the top prize to James Rodriguez, he looked sharp and should be able to create many more moments of magic for La Albiceleste. He is also likely to play every single minute of his side's quest to be World Cup 2018 winners and he is undoubtedly the focal point of Jorge Sampaoli's side. Cristiano Ronaldo (13.00) made a slow start to the season for Real Madrid but the talented marksman has improved remarkably and has helped guide his side into the last four of the Champions League. He is the standout player in Portugal's squad and was instrumental during their success at Euro 2016. He can always be relied upon during major tournaments. He ranks as the second likeliest player to finish as the tournament's top scorer. His side crashed out during the group stage in 2014 but they are likely to progress alongside Spain from Group B. Neymar 10.00 is the first of two representatives for Brazil in the upper echelons of the World Cup goalscorer market. He has missed the latter part of the season for PSG through injury but he has confirmed that he will be fit and raring to go ahead of the tournament. Tite's side have a number of talented players but Neymar is the talisman and is capable of producing individual moments of magic which could potentially light up this competition. He is the second favourite in the market at 5Dimes and with his side likely to progress to the last four, he will get plenty of opportunities. Antoine Griezmann (10.00) is also amongst our predictions in the World Cup goalscorer market and the Atletico Madrid star is likely to be heavily involved for France. Les Bleus narrowly missed out on the Euro 2016 title with the striker scoring six times in seven games. He also netted four times in ten qualifiers and with plenty of talent in the French squad, he is likely to get plenty of chances. He is the tournament's most prolific marksman. Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus (15.00) is our third and final prediction to be World Cup top goalscorer. Once again, Brazil are expected to easily achieve group qualification and progress to the latter stages of the competition and with Jesus playing through the middle, he is likely to be prominent amongst the goals. He should reward bettors with a few goals throughout the competition. Top Goalscorer The 2018 World Cup looks set to be the most-watched sporting event of the year and many soccer fans are already counting down until the tournament begins on June 14th. There are a number of different betting markets and World Cup odds available in the run-up to the competition with top goalscorer one of the most popular. Bettors must decide which player will win the Golden Boot in 2018 and score the most goals throughout the month-long event. This market will also be available throughout the tournament although the odds will get shorter if your chosen player is prolific during the group stage. Ideally, selecting a player who plays for one of the potential World Cup winners is the best way of finding a decent bet in this market. Players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane and Antoine Griezmann are just four names who will be popular in this market and many bettors will have already backed one or more of this prolific foursome in the World Cup goalscorer market. Top Goalscorer Odds There are many players to choose from at the 2018 World Cup and a number of outsiders who could potentially make a name for themselves at the tournament. Our table displays the odds from online Canadian bookmakers available on the top 30 players who will be competing throughout June and July. World Cup Top Goalscorer F.A.Q Q. Who finished as Top Goalscorer at Brazil 2014? A. James Rodriguez was a relatively unknown name coming into the tournament but the Colombian playmaker finished with the most goals after scoring six times. He will be back once again and is available at 60.00 after struggling for consistency over the past couple of seasons. Q. Who Has Scored the Most Accumulative World Cup Goals? A. Miroslav Klose is the current leading goalscorer at the World Cup with 16 goals across four different tournaments between 2002 and 2014. Germany never lost a competitive game in which he has found the net. He has retired and therefore won't feature in Russia. Q. Which player has scored the most goals in a single World Cup? A. Just Fontaine holds the current record for the most goals in a single tournament when netting 13 times for France and that record has stood since 1958. Q. What is the lowest amount of goals to have secured a World Cup Golden Boot? A. In 1962, six players shared top honours with each players netting just four goals. They were Garrincha and Vava of Brazil, Hungary's Florian Albert, Leonel Sanchez, Valentin Ivanov and Drazan Jerkovic. Q. Has any player ever won more than one Golden Boot? A. No player has ever managed more than a single golden boot and it's a feat which is incredibly difficult to achieve. Thomas Muller has come close when finishing as joint top-scorer in 2010 before finishing a narrow second in 2014.

In the Rough
With a tinge of green poking through, the course was taken on by eleven men and four women playing Par. With two groups of four and one group of three, scores were pretty ordinary, having only two players beating the course for the day.
Winner for the day was Trav Clarke on +3 and runner up was Pete Gosling +2. All other players lost to the course with minus' abounding. Wayne Thomas was nearest the pin on the tenth, finding his touch again after recent travels. Ladies winner was Helen Fisher with a very impressive +7.
Our President told a joke this week that kept the audience smiling. We hope Charlie has recovered from his Island adventures! Next week is stableford, and being Anzac Day numbers may be down, but normal hit off times will still apply. With a bit more rain we hope the course continues to green up for everyone's enjoyment.

It was announced today that Jorum, the UK national repository for learning and teaching materials funded by JISC, is to offer open educational resources. This will make it easier for lecturers and teaching staff to share and re-use each other's teaching resources. JorumOpen - as it will be called - will also provide a showcase for UK universities and colleges on the international stage.
This move comes at a time when there is a global shift towards open access across all education and research, a development actively supported by JISC and one that is bringing about major changes in the ways that learners, teachers, lecturers and researchers make available and access learning materials and other digital resources such as research papers and data.
Jorum is managed jointly by EDINA and Mimas, the two National Academic Data Centres funded by JISC at the Universities of Edinburgh and Manchester. During the first phase of Jorum's development, the focus has been on building a system that safeguards investment in digital learning resources and offers controlled access to licensed materials. The result is a service that supports access to over 2,500 learning resources for download for direct use in the classroom and within virtual learning environments (VLEs).
Through the development of JorumOpen, lecturers and teachers will be able to share materials under the Creative Commons licence framework: this makes sharing easier, granting users greater rights for use and re-use of online content and easier to understand. Importantly, it does not require prior registration. As a result availability is global as well as across UK universities and colleges. JorumOpen will run alongside a 'members only' facility, JorumEducationUK, that will support sharing of material just within the UK educational sector; this will be available only to registered users and contributors, as is currently the case.
Rachel Bruce, JISC programme director, said: "Jorum is an example of innovation at its best. It has already contributed a great deal, demonstrating that the sharing of learning resources is both viable and desirable, but these plans will allow it to develop and to innovate still further. We look forward to these further developments and to Jorum's continued growth in the future."
Peter Burnhill, Jorum co-director and director of EDINA, commented: "This is a welcome opportunity to widen access to learning material created by UK academics and learning technologists, an endorsement for the efforts of the Jorum team and the very many contributors from groups across universities and colleges to share materials. It should also be a spur to greater use in the classroom of successful digitisation projects as well as existing online services provided by the two data centres and others."
Dr Jackie Carter, Jorum co-director at Mimas, added: "Jorum is an example of a very successful collaboration between EDINA and Mimas. Considerable effort has been put into the development of the technical and legal frameworks, and the achievements can now be built on to take Jorum to the next stage."

Joint pilot assignment and pilot contamination precoding design for massive MIMO systems
It contains about the joint pilot assignment and pilot contamination precoding design for massive MIMO systems.
Generalized 3-D Constellation Design for Spatial Modulation
Spatial modulation (SM) conveys information bits by utilizing both antenna index and complex symbols to form a 3-dimension (3-D) constellation. Similar to two dimensional modulation, the structure of 3-D constellation could greatly affect the transmission reliability. In this paper, a generalized 3-D constellation design is proposed to optimize the constellation diagram used for each antenna.
Adaptive Mapper Design for Spatial Modulation with Lightweight Feedback Overhead
The feasibility of BFM is proved over random fading channels, and the performance improvement brought by BFM in terms of BER enhancement and SNR gain as well as the computational complexity and feedback overhead are quantitatively analyzed. Both analysis and simulations show that the proposed adaptive mapper significantly improves the BER performance with lightweight feedback overhead.
Spatial Modulated Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer
This paper proposes a spatial modulated simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SM SWIPT) scheme to save multiple radio frequency (RF) chains at the transmitter. As SM is adopted, only one RF chain is equipped at the transmit side. To harvest energy and in the same time to transfer information, the received signal is split into two parts according to the defined power splitting factors.
Spatial Modulation via 3-D Mapping
This letter proposes a jointly mapped spatial modulation (JM-SM) scheme to break through the constraint on the number of transmit antennas in traditional SM systems. It is realized via jointly mapping the transmit information bits to 3-D constellation points. A 3-D constellation design scheme for a JM-SM is analyzed and established by minimizing the system average bit error probability (ABEP).
Link Adaptive Mapper Designs for Space Shift Keying Modulated MIMO Systems
This work focuses on the design and analysis on link adaptive bits-to-antenna-indices (BAI) mapping for closed loop space shift keying modulated multi-input multi-output (SSK MIMO) systems. With the aim of achieving lower bit error rate (BER), optimal mappers are designed under different transmission conditions. Assuming perfect channel state information (CSI) is available at transceivers, an original binary switch algorithm (OBSA) is proposed.

My scientific career has been dedicated to Environmental Chemistry with the aim to solve different environmental problems in the field of water quality. My most important contributions have been particularly in the development of methods for controlling organic pollution by the so-called "emerging pollutants" (polar pesticides, surfactants –detergents–, endocrine disruptors and pharmaceutical products, illicit drugs and carbon-based nanomaterials (fullerenes)) in waste and natural water. During the last ten years my group has obtained key results at international level that have provided valuable monitoring data for risk assessment of surface, waste waters and ground waters as well as have provided advanced results on risk and remediation studies for emerging pollutants. We are confident that these results have served as the basis for a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable aquatic environment. Since 2010 I am listed among the most internationally cited scientists (ISI Highly Cited), by the number and the exceptional quality of my publications, with a Hirsch-Index of 136 (108) and total number of citations over 84 thousand (> 55 k) and more than 1300 publications (source Google Scholar on the 07/11/2018, Scopus in parenthesis). I have been very active as a Scientific Editor. Since 1990s, I have been contributing editor of Trends in Analytical Chemistry (TrAC) and editor of two book series (Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry and The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry). Since 2012, I am the Co-Editor-in-chief of the Science of the Total Environment.

Fun Book Friday- TURTLE IN PARADISE
This week's Funny Book Friday, TURTLE IN PARADISE is not only funny, but sweet. I happen to be at the public library when all the new award winning books were placed on the librarian's "take a look" shelf. I'll admit- I took all of them home. Check out TURTLE IN PARADISE, the author Jennifer L. Holm attributes some of her success to "having an awesome elementary school librarian"- gotta love that!
Here's the write up from www.GoodReads.com
Turtle in Paradise
Inspired by family stories, two-time Newbery Honor winner and New York Times
bestselling author Jennifer L. Holm beautifully blends family lore with America's past in this charming gem of a novel, rich in historical detail, humor, and the unique flavors of Key West.
Life isn't like the movies, and eleven-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. She's smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all, it's 1935, and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. So when Turtle's mama gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids, Turtle says goodbye without a tear and heads off to Key West, Florida, to stay with relatives she's never met.
Florida's like nothing Turtle has ever seen. It's hot and strange, full of wild green peeping out between houses, ragtag boy cousins, and secret treasure. Before she knows what's happened, Turtle finds herself coming out of the shell she has spent her life building, and as she does, her world opens up in the most unexpected ways.

I buy too many beans. Mint green flageolets, tiger-eyed Rancho Gordos from a trip to California, locally grown pinto beans at the farmers market, unidentified white beans from who-knows-where, dried pigeon peas bought in bulk simply because they were on sale.
It's certainly fine to choose beans for their beauty and weirdness alone, but here's the rub: I have to then eat those beans. And week after week I reach instead for black beans, chickpeas, navy beans, and lentils. At the grocery store I like to think I'm adventurous, but at dinnertime, routine wins the day and my specialty beans languish.
It's good to have a friend who shares your penchant for buying too many bulk pantry goods. My friend Sarah is a chef and knows the best place to get bread in Chicago, what to do with your last five farmers' market strawberries that have gone slightly mushy, and, luckily, what to make with extra beans.
With my move hanging over me and too many dry goods cluttering up both of our cabinets, we started mraaking a point to cook our extra food, together. The premise is simple enough: we cook dinner at her house or mine, using a few ingredients each that we'd like to use up. My sushi rice and nori plus her dried shiitakes and wasabi paste. My yellow eye beans plus her tomato sauce made from last year's frozen heirloom beauties.
You don't need a friend for using up languishing pantry goods, but you do need a plan. With a friend, reaching into the back of my cabinet and digging out ingredients for a meal becomes a celebration, an experiment, a reason to think more thoughtfully about how best to use each ingredient.
Monday night I took the train to her house, a tin of still-warm-just-cooked beans in my bag, my contribution to the meal. When I left after dinner, hours later, the same tin was full of leftovers to eat tomorrow. We'd made a pact to meet up again soon to trade my extra French press for her extra cookbook, and to make dinner again soon if we could find a time. And I left with a personal pact to make this recipe from Rachel Roddy again and again.
PS. Find more ideas for reducing food waste, here.

Jim O'Neill famously coined the term BRICs back in the early days of the last decade, as he predicted that Brazil, Russia, Indian, and China would be the world's great big growth drivers. And he was absolutely correct.
He has a new book out called The Growth Map: Economic Opportunity in the BRICs and Beyond, which we're eager to read, and which has been excerpted at The Telegraph.
In it, he says he has one regret about his call.
My only regret on the first BRICS analysis of 2001 is that we weren't bolder.
Between 2001 and 2010, the BRIC economies' GDP rose much more sharply than I had thought possible even in the most optimistic scenario.
Moreover, their citizens' wealth showed equally remarkable increases, bringing hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Their GDP per capita, the best indication of individual wealth, collectively trebled.
He goes onto cite several remarkable facts about BRICs growth, which has surprised him, including:
- Brazil has become the world's 7th largest economy, surpassing Italy.
- The Chinese consumer market grew by $1.5 trillion since 2001, creating a whole new UK, basically.
- Intra-BRIC trade has grown much-faster than he expected, and BRIC leaders are talking openly about doing more business not involving the dollar

Lupinore Does The Gentlemen's Expo: Friday Night Edition
Every weekend, the city is bustling with musicians trying to get their name out there. Playing their hearts out for peanuts, all for the sake of "exposure." But why is Toronto so oblivious to the amount of musical talent it possesses? An entire weekend of music was happening at various locations throughout the city yet I chose Friday night at the Gentlemen's Expo to prove a point. Point being… *ahem* People want to love music, but they don't know what type to enjoy, to search for, to love, so, we as a society, rely on events, such as this one to expose us to new sounds, sounds we weren't expecting on hearing but sounds we're glad we heard. Throughout the years, The Gentlemen's Expo has consistently showcased amazing musical acts. There were two musical acts to keep us entertained that Friday evening. I should also mention there were only two musical acts scheduled for that evening. Both bands played and enjoyed what I like to refer to as "the delusional set." (Delusional Set: The set where the band on stage has to visualize themselves elsewhere, preferably on a grander venue in front of a much larger audience. ) First up! The good ol' Luke Austin band, better known in some circles as TLAB. I've reviewed their show before so I won't be spending too much time reiterating what I have previously expressed. Before I continue, I must also mention that the stage was put together beautifully. It was the complete "rock star experience" and anyone performing on that stage could have proudly called themselves artistes. There was a camera hovering above the drummer's kit so the crowd could follow every drag, every decrescendos and whatever else drummers do. There were two more cameras positioned off to the sides, at the front of the stage, to capture the glamour, the passion and the skills it took to be up there. The lighting was just as spectacular. Variations in the tempo would illuminate the stage in different shades, allowing us to feel different feels. All eight of us watching experienced the same energy. It was probably more than eight but for the amount of seating space available, it may as well have been eight. TLAB didn't care.
Those dudes played as if they were rocking out to a sold out crowd at the Molson Amphitheater. Bryan was still bouncing around, Kennedy was still shredding the guitar, and Mike was drumming as Luke was crooning. Yes, TLAB was TLAB and you couldn't expect anything less from these gifted musicians.
Young Empires followed suit. Putting on a massive show in front of a somewhat smaller audience, which they had not problems doing. I had never seen them live until that point but have always heard great things. Understandably so! They too brought that 'Molson Amphitheater' energy. Jamming as loudly and as poetically as possible, lead singer Matthew Vlahovich passionately serenated the crowd song after song with a slight air of romance.
He was our suitor and every single one of us was a potential lover. What was awesome about Young Empires and TLAB was their energy. Their energy drew the crowd. I know I attempted to joke about there being only eight people sitting in the seats but what I failed to notice was pockets of crowds gathering in the surrounding areas. All those seats, all those sections were empty until these bands began playing. The more they played the bigger the crowd became. And to us, the music and the feels they shared with us was all that mattered. The Gentlemen's Expo sure knows how to pick awesome bands. Kudos organizers. Now let's get more asses in chairs.

Have you ever felt like a zombie?
Some days I feel like a zombie Christian. In my mind the words echo: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."
Those words sound good in sermons and on the pages of the Bible. It doesn't feel so good when I wake up some mornings with a bad attack of zombie stirrings. I walk around, half alive in Christ, yearning to be like him and share his beautiful and loving disposition. And yet, I drag myself through the day as one possessed by death in all its seeping ugliness. That zombie stuff is hard to hide. If only it would go away and stay quiet. Forever.
Then I remember: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."
So I pray and take a step. And I take another step.
And when faith falters, I wonder: How can God stand all the zombie Christians? We walk around only partly fashioned into gleaming new people with new spirits and new ways of interacting with each other. And part of us oozes.
What a picture we must make. Christians: The walking dead. Christians: The alive in Christ. Christians: Those who need to die daily to remnants of the self and to sin.
I wish we could fast forward to the end of the picture when we're changed into something beautiful.
That dying-yet-living stuff makes me a zombie Christian, I suppose.
I don't even like zombies. I can't watch those movies.
Yet, if I'm honest, I have something in common with a zombie. I'm part Christlike, part stumbling sinner who refuses to behave and stay crucified and buried.
How I yearn for the resurrection day, when a new earth will replace this place, when a new resurrected body will replace this decaying one, and when all the dead and dying parts of my mind and spirit will be perfected by God's grace.
And not just me. I'm looking forward to when other zombie Christians I bump into and fall over will also be changed. We keep hurting each other. Even a hug can hurt a zombie. Go figure.
Until we're changed, what can we do but walk in faith? And try, prayerfully, to beat back that zombie whenever we see it emerge. For our faith is in the God who wants to and can change death into life. We can't do it. He can.
He promises to give eternal life to whoever believes. Eternal life, not as zombies, but as fully alive and whole people. The God who created all things can do it. He promises.
Oh, Lord. Let the day dawn soon when the dead will rise. Then it will be joyful to say:"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Gal. 2:20 NIV

Digital Marketing: Step One - Mobile Ready
Well if you haven't heard it already, "CONTENT IS KING!." But what does that mean exactly and how does it play into the grand scheme of DIGITAL MARKETING. With all these buzz words one can get a little confused, so lets start with a few simple definitions to get everyone up to speed.
Content Marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.
Digital Marketing is marketing that makes use of electronic devices to engage consumers. Digital marketing differs from Internet marketing in that radio, television, and other digital resources apply. At Stokhaus, we're interested in how to help our clients create content and share it on the web through any number of these means:
But before any of this matters we must first have SET BUSINESS GOALS, A PLATFORM (Website & Social Media), & a MARKETING PLAN. If you're just getting started in your business, then we work with you to create a website that best meets your needs and attracts the clients your looking for. Understanding your business model is key to assessing which models will have the greatest return on time and money invested. ROI in Internet marketing can be difficult to measure, however, it is not impossible to gauge how your web presence directly affects your overall return.
One of the ways we help you navigate the nuances of your business is to help you create a MIND MAP. Not every small business has a well written business plan, but we strongly suggest you create one with the help of SBA. Mind maps are helpful in getting your ideas down on paper visually. In business, it allows for increased productivity, streamlined project management, and increased collaboration in groups. The goal is not to overwhelm you with options, but to select the marketing tools that are best suited for you personally and professionally.
Creating a mobile-ready website is an essential first step in the pursuit of digital marketing. As of this last year, mobile web usage exceeded that of desktop web browsing. That means more people are viewing web content on their phones than they are on their desktop or laptop computers. This is only going to increase as the Internet adapts to these changes in consumer web interaction. While there are three approaches to to creating a mobile-friendly web presence, we prefer to create a self-hosted responsive website that responds to the devices it is being viewed on. Wordpress offers open source themes for responsive sites; however, we use a company that offers the best mobile design solutions on the market.
If you have an existing site and know the content path your visitors take via Google Analytics, this can be a helpful tool in determining how we design the layout of your site. With mobile in mind, we put the information people seek most at the forefront of the page. Two of the greatest advantages of mobile sites is that it allows for click-to-call phone numbers and navigate-able web address for Google Maps. Visitors with one click can call your business & drive to your store directly from your homepage with the implantation of mobile banners.
Now that you have your first step completed, you can move onto the fun stuff - Video & Image Based Marketing; something that is near to our hearts as photographers. Stay tuned for more about Step Two.

"As you can imagine our fleet of printers and MFDs are busy, busy machines, so it's imperative that we have reliable and hard-working equipment in the hotel 24/7. They have to be fit for purpose and permanently spotless. Having a trusted advisor and provider is key to helping us run our business smoothly. Highline Office Technology manages our full fleet of printers and provides a fully managed print service. They have a speedy response time and a really high rate for first-time fixes. When the machines start becoming unreliable, Highline immediately replaces them with new machines. We don't need to stockpile toners or supplies, which also eliminates panic buying. The toners and supplies arrive as we need them. We rely on their Service Engineers to be discreet and find them continuously professional, experts in their field, but also friendly and very comfortable when around the guests and staff. We really value their expertise, so much so, that as we get requests from event and conference managers, for short-term rentals, we direct the requests to Highline Office Technology, as we know they'll get the same service. And we achieve all of this for a fixed price per month, so we can predict and manage our costs. It's simply expertise and service, we could not do without."
"Our relationship with Highline Office Technology began in 2014 when we needed a short-term rental of a machine for a board meeting. The first machine that was installed wasn't what we needed, so Robert drove out to the hotel at 9pm that night to deliver and install a new photocopier and printer for us so that we could work through the night and deliver all the documentation that was needed for the executives and board members on schedule. We couldn't have been any happier with the support, solutions and speed that Highline offered to us, so when we opened our new offices in Dublin, they were our first call. The service provided has always been top notch, in particular for our latest batch of machines. Once the Highline service team get the nod from us re the day and time for installation, their turn-around time is superb. It's just a smooth operation over all. Service is always good. Toner is delivered when needed, which means we are ensured of no down time for our machines. I have Robert on speed dial; he is always so solution orientated, which makes my life easier and helps me ensure that Horizon Pharma successfully operates each day."
ALAN McCORMAC
"We use Highline Office Technology as our stationery and general office machinery supplier for all our photocopier, printing and scanning requirements. My experience of Highline Office Technology is of a small dynamic company that delivers on their promises with regards to sales and, in particular, service. In our office, we have a very high level of requirement for printing, scanning and photocopying; the need for the machines to be running efficiently at all times is vital to our business. Anytime we have had an issue, the response time from Highline's dedicated service team has always been very impressive and definitely helps my Company in dealing with our clients' needs. Highline Office Technology also have unique finance deals, but I suggest you talk to them in confidence yourselves. As the preferred choice of provider for my Company, all I can say is that I have no problem in recommending Highline Office Technology."
"Before we were introduced to Highline Office Technology, we had a printer that was not fit for purpose. We were spending a fortune on ink and the quality was mediocre.
Now thanks to Highline our office life has completely changed. We can easily print the highest quality, at high volume at the touch of a button. We no longer have to shop for our own ink as it is delivered right to our door before we run out. We now have a printer that suits our needs which can grow with our business.
The professional and informative dealings by Jean Evans gave us the peace of mind that Highline was the right choice and we couldn't recommend anyone better!"
"Aspera Solutions Limited have been a Highline Office Technology customer for the past number of years. On foot of a tender for a new supplier for our MFD and following a strict evaluation process, we decided to proceed with Highline. I find their service excellent as they are always attentive & proactive for our company requirements. I have no problem recommending them as a supplier to any other business out there. They use the hashtag #ServiceExcellence and I have found that they deliver on this promise."
"I would highly recommend Highline Technology, and in particular Robert, Brian and the guys and gals from the service department. They were professional and highly knowledgeable in their field, they certainly made our migration path easy and have been supporting our printer fleet since installation and we look forward to a continued and mutually beneficial arrangement."
"I met Highline Office Technology at the All Ireland Business Summit in Croke Park. After a brief discussion about my printer challenges, a discovery meeting was arranged to fully assess my usage and my requirements, in order to ensure that the printer solution would be fit for purpose. After the proposal was accepted, the installation and training process was seamless. I have to say that I'm really happy with the service, attention and indeed the quality of the printing. I really notice the difference in the quality of print and as I am in a client facing role, having good quality printed documentation is critical to my company's brand integrity. I'm very happy with my choice and would highly recommend Highline Office Technology."
"We recently changed our window display system in our estate agency. Our laser printer wasn't giving us the quality prints that we wanted, so we discussed this with Brian and Robert and they suggested the Epson multifunctional device, which is an inkjet printer. It works perfectly and we are thrilled with the quality of the colour prints. The guys were flexible, solution orientated and ultimately delivered the solution that we needed. Their service engineers are second to none and the response time, which is critical for business, is fantastic. When it came to the switch, they left our 'old' printer running, while the other was set up, so we didn't face any downtime at all. We are very happy with Highline Office Technology as our partner of choice!"
"Highline Office Technology are a fantastic company. They are reliable and very efficient. Their staff go above and beyond to help with any issues that may arise. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I have 3 creches in which I have Highline printers and I find them great value for money. I am very happy with their service. I would highly recommend them."
"We recently leased a new A3 colour multi-functional device from Highline Office Technology. From start to finish, the process was seamless. Their team were easy to deal with and the device was delivered and installed without any hassle and on time. Our team are delighted with the result, as we are now able to produce high quality documents, on different media, from A4 admin to CAD prints for customer meetings, which reflect the quality of the work that our team is producing, so it's helping us win more business!"

Boy bands, as it turns out, do not exist for the sole purpose of making teenage girls hot and bothered. A new collaboration between five of most popular young male YouTubers has resulted in the formation of an all new boy band to raise money for the Sport Relief charity.
The five participating YouTubers are Marcus Butler, Caspar Lee, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg, and Jim Chapman. All five of them have more than one million subscribers, and their combined subscriber count is close to 9.2 million. Therefore, calling them The YouTube Boy Band–as their video title does–is accurate. Their video is at once both a crooning song-and-dance number and a mockery of other, more serious boy bands.
Through the video, the YouTube Boy Band is raising money for Sport Relief, an offshoot of Britain's well-known Comic Relief charity. A link in the description urges viewers to donate. It alternatively asks the mobile crowd to text BOYBAND to 70011 in order to make a £1 donation.
The YouTube Boy Band is one of several great boy band parodies on YouTube, but it is without a doubt the most socially just. I'm glad its five members are using their plentiful charisma to do good.

Did you know that less than 5% of the total population can gauge serving sizes correctly? Knowing serving sizes and understanding how much you should be eating is vital to not only losing weight but maintain weight as well.
People have a tendency to overestimate the recommended serving size and consequently may eat more than what the body really needs. So what is a serving size or portion size anyway? Health professionals use "serving size" to refer to the amount recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or Canadian Food Guide for each food group.
It is often difficult to calculate food quantities and serving portions. If the food comes pre-packaged, the label will tell you the quantity of a single serving of food, along with how many servings are in the package. When cooking from scratch, the quantity of a single serving is harder to determine. Knowing serving sizes for foods can actually prevent you from gaining weight. Since you can't carry measuring tools with you everywhere, how can you figure out serving sizes? The following chart can help you...just print it off and stick in your bag, tape it to the inside of a cupboard or stick it on the fridge. No more guesswork! You can now visually estimate a serving size for a lot of commonly eaten foods.
Food Item Per Serving - Everyday Object
3 oz Meat, Chicken (after cooking) = Deck of Cards or Palm of Child's Hand
5 oz Meat, Chicken (after cooking) = 2 Decks of Cards or Palm of Adult Hand
3 oz Fish = Regular-Sized Cheque Book
½ cup Starchy Foods (such as rice, ice cream, mashed potatoes and other grains) = 1/2 Baseball (not to be confused with a softball!)
Potato = Computer Mouse or Size of Small Fist
1 Medium Fruit = Normal Fist or Baseball
1 oz Cheese = 4 Stacked Dice or Small Matchbox
Salad Dressing, Mayonnaise, Butter,
Margarine, Oil, Peanut Butter = Tip of Thumb, 1 Dice or ½ Ping Pong Ball
1 slice of Bread = Cassette Tape
Bagel = Hockey Puck
1 Pancake = CD/DVD
1 cup Dry Cereal = Normal Fist or Baseball
1 cup Vegetables = Normal Fist or Baseball
Nuts, Raisins, Pretzels = Amount held in Cupped Hand

saga/title/fandom:The Private and Personal Journal of Richard Beau Riddick
rating/genre:(PG-13) - Gen/Het
warnings: Dubious Content, Adult Humor
summary: The title says it all.
comments/disclaimers: Pitch Black et al are not mine. The idea comes from repetitive readings of the genius that are The Very Secret Diaries by Cassandra Claire, based on Lord of the Rings. I do not apologise for my sorry attempts at humour, but feel free to lynch at will.
Day One
Day Two
Still free.
Day Seven
Yep, still free. Novelty starting to wear off as nothing to look at in space. Prison transports not known for wide range of entertainment facilities.
Day Twenty-Four
Touchdown! Found inhabited planet that accepted fake ID without question. Stripped ship for pawnable parts and flogged them to locals.
Had drink in bar and attempted to pick up a couple of women. Having been out the game a while, it's possible my chat up lines need work. Shall have to practice.
Day Twenty-Five
Have a feeling am being followed by someone. Caught a glimpse of a longhaired brunette with sunglasses on, peering round a wall at me. Maybe it's one of the women from the bar. Chat up lines not that bad then.
Day Twenty-Seven
Female stalker not a stalker. Or female.
Longhaired brunette in dress and heels finally jumped me from behind. Got all excited about prospect of hot sex when her hair came off. Found myself in a tussle with crazed looking man with bad make-up job screaming incoherently about a 'Stratocaster'. Realised too late who it was and knocked unconscious by billy-club.
Nope, not free anymore.
Day Twenty-Eight
Attempt to bribe Johns into not returning me to slam unsuccessful. May try negotiating alternate arrangements instead.
Negotiations unsuccessful and possibly big mistake. Bringing up the past is never a good thing. Had to tolerate another screaming fit, this time with hand gestures. Have asked to be gagged to prevent further incident.
Day Twenty-Nine
Tussle broke out during attempt to move me aboard transport. Damn leg chains. They always make me trip over. Johns already on short fuse so immediately whipped out billy-club and smacked me with it. During struggle I swallowed something. Possibly that thing Johns was waving at me last night.
Day Thirty
Johns intolerable. Has accused me of stealing his plectrum. It's sad seeing a grown man cry like that. Bit in mouth all that prevents me from telling him he was never that good a singer anyway.
Day Thirty-One
Locked inside cryo-tube aboard ship called the Hunter-Gratzner. Ponder the logistics of how come only three people are needed to crew one of the largest ships in the fleet.
Day Fifty-Six
Cryo-sleep so boring.
Day Seventy-Nine
Playing I-Spy when blindfolded not particularly exciting.
Day 123
Had dream where was playing tonsil hockey with gorgeous blonde but when I looked at her she turned out to be Johns wearing wig, basque and suspenders.
Bit in mouth all that prevents me from screaming till I'm hoarse.
Day 155
Still too scared to sleep.
Day 177
Why does no one bother to shower before long journeys anymore? Damn these people stink.
Day 181
Should the ship be shaking like that?
My head hurts. Ship appears to have landed, although not in the usual manner. I seem to have been thrown from my tube and am now trapped in what remains of the ceiling. At least bit has fallen out of mouth so can call for help.
Calls for help go unanswered so have to try and untangle myself. Thankfully, fall broken by something soft.
Something soft turned out to be Johns' head. Received another beating from billy-club and Johns telling me that 'you have to go at some point'. Told Johns that 'camel skin' is not a metaphor.
Have requested to be gagged again to prevent further incident.
Being chained up so boring. Will try playing I-Spy again.
Day 181 – still
Left mouthpiece in direction of sunset so that Johns will think I've gone in direction of sunrise, but have really gone in direction of sunset. I'm so clever!
Damn landscape. Everything looks the same. I'm so stupid.
Am now playing hide and seek with Johns, a blonde woman and some Arab man with a glazed smile. Brief moment of panic when got trapped beneath giant rib cage and Johns and blonde woman appeared. Thankfully, woman had her back to me and Johns so doped up am surprised he can see to put one foot in front of other.
Blonde woman quite hot and has good sense of humour. Still haven't practiced chat up lines though.
Managed to get back to crash site without being detected. Watched in amusement as fight broke out between remaining survivors over who got to play with welding torch. Brunette woman and young girl won the tussle and dark man went off in huff to dig hole. Skinny white man rolled up cigarette and did nothing.
Nearly ruptured something laughing when dark guy shot another survivor, presumably by mistake.
Decided to practice chat up lines on cone shape formations. Two shattered and another crumbled to dust maybe due to poor quality of lines or bad breath. Use bone shard swiped from animal skeletons to try and check if breath smells but am startled by brunette woman screaming. Is breath really that bad? Decide to quickly run away in hope she may mistake me for skinny white man.
Damn rocks. They always make me trip over. Nope, not free anymore.
Found out blonde woman is called Fry. Think she fancies me if innuendos about 'holes' and asking me to look at her underwear anything to go by. Tried to ask girl called Jack if she could find out for me but prevented by Fry reappearing and dragging her away.
Johns no longer speaking to me since I told him I went when I was in the sand dunes and there was nothing there. Was a lie of course but worth it.
Day 182
Have been told by Johns if I make sure no one gets eaten by local wildlife, he will not take me back to slam. Have a feeling it's really because he doesn't believe what I said earlier and thinks exercise will help. At least it'll give me a chance to try out chat up lines for real.
Have also been told girl called Jack really a boy. Still waiting for punch line.
Complimented skinny white man called Paris on the Shiraz and asked if it was an early '67 vintage from the Loire region. Paris stuttered nervously and ran away.
One of party went missing when wasn't watching. Worried Johns may revoke offer of freedom and chain me up again. Relieved to discover it was only an interchangeable Arab boy.
Discovery of orrery triggered wide spread panic. Had to explain to them that green dinosaur not really part of system model and therefore unlikely to be swallowing planet in near future. Catch sight of Jack watching from doorway, snickering.
At last! Opportunity arisen to corner Fry alone and dazzle with newly reformed chat up lines.
Seduction unsuccessful. When got close up to Fry had flashback to dream which made mind go blank. Found myself using old chat up lines which did not go down well. Tried to tell myself she wasn't really Johns but in the end had to leave.
Had discussion with Jack about triple star systems, planetary formation and ecology, and the theoretic impossibility of this world's existence.
Both came to conclusion the others couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

I have been entranced by my surroundings this fall. From cute animal encounters at the bus stop to Halloween photos on our doorstep, there was no way I could choose only seven. I went out one day seeking only yellow and could have filled an entire post with just those. Or red. Or Halloween costumes and decor. As if the foliage colors weren't enough, we happened upon one of the most striking rainbows I've ever seen. Well done, fall.
Thank you for stopping by and do hop on over to see Kris McNeil's latest.
