Our Story
Grants to Green began when a representative of The Kendeda Fund, a long-time donor-advised fund client, approached leadership of The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta in 2007 with a new program idea. The Kendeda Fund wished to initiate a grantmaking initiative that would assess, and ultimately improve, the non-profit community's green scorecard, particularly with respect to buildings. Southface Energy Institute had already agreed to provide assessment and engineering resources. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta agreed to steer the overall program through staff resources, the creation of an advisory committee, and by fostering communication throughout the region's non-profit sector.
The three organizations continue to partner effectively – The Kendeda Fund provides turnkey funding and its representative chairs the advisory committee, Southface provides technical expertise and assessments, and The Community Foundation provides administrative support and manages grantmaking.
In 2014, the reach of Grants to Green expanded when the initiative went national with replication partners in Dubuque, Iowa and Maine. Learn more about these locations.
Our Vision
The vision for Grants to Green is to become a leading resource in philanthropy in the Atlanta region, recognized for strengthening the nonprofit sector's energy efficiency and overall organizational capacity and distinguished nationally as a model.
The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta
strengthens the Atlanta region by providing quality services to donors and innovative leadership on community issues. Learn more about them.
Southface Energy Institute
promotes sustainable homes, workplaces and communities through education, research, advocacy and technical assistance. Learn more about them.

Adapted from the 2018 live-action movie (Disney's 'Christopher Robin') comes 'A Boy, A Bear, A Balloon', a personalized children's story-book that is full of all of the charm, wit, and youthful naivety that you would expect from a tale featuring the 'silly old bear' and his friends from the Hundred-Acre Wood.

Christopher Robin soon becomes lost in the wood, but for him to find his way home, he must first find himself. Can his old friends help him on his journey?
The recipient of this heart-warming tale will love to see their name appear throughout the story, as well as on the front cover and the opening page, where a personal message can also be added.

Warming your hands and feet in front of a fire brings a comforting and fuzzy feeling inside, isn't it? A fire pit table is a great way to beat the chill during winters and enjoy the fresh air at the same time.
There are several benefits of a fire pit table:
- It is an extremely convenient heating solution for outdoor purposes. Parties and gatherings need not be held inside when the mercury drops – you can easily have it on your patio or deck.
- It doubles as a dining table, making it a great way to spend some one-on-one time with your better half or host a dinner party for friends. Turn it into a fun event by asking the guests to roast their own marshmallows for dessert!
- The table adds a lovely decorative element to its surroundings – what might have been plain and uninspiring before can completely transform into an elegant and chic area.
Setting up a fire pit table doesn't require any complex installation procedure – it is easy to use and takes just a few minutes to get it going. There are lightweight models available that make it easy to move around so you can use it indoors as well.

There just something missing - a little spice of genius? - from all of the pieces in this set. Although its all good and pleasant, if one is used to Mozart and Beethoven, its just a little bit flat. Nonetheless, its still enjoyable. On the first disc, I most preferred the second piece (op.34 #2, in g min.), and on the second I most liked the last one (op.46 in b flat maj.).

Sensational Cinco de Mayo
When we got to Fran's for dinner Tuesday night, the theme, of course, was Cinco de Mayo. We knew the food would be great - chicken enchiladas, fresh salsa and tortillas, refried beans, black bean and corn pico de gallo, and that incredible cherry dessert. What we didn't know was about the entertainment.
After dinner, we all filed down to the basement to watch Fran's Tivo'd "American Idol", but what we got was live entertainment instead. It was dark, but we managed to see the strobe light and the multi-colored disco lights. After taking our seats, we were introduced to "Gregarino", our live entertainment for the evening.
Gregarino started his lip-syncing act with "Dancing on the Ceiling" and ended with "Your Momma Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock 'n Roll". In between we all joined in the karaoke act and sang along to oldies such as "Summer Loving", "Sexy Thing", "Mustang Sally", "We've Only Just Begun" and a few others. Fran, Dee and Vicky even got up and danced. Yeah, we enjoyed our 'oldies', but hey, when you're over 40, you've earned it!
This is our last month of dinners together until the fall, so thanks, Fran, for a great meal. And thanks to Gregarino (aka Greg Meador) for the incredible entertainment. (Note: If you'd like to book Gregarino for your next event, give me a shout.)

Hobbies are smart ways to find out about new things and to get new skills. Some hobbies may even be a profitable way to use your spare time or invest in the future. Read on to find out how you can select just the right hobby.
If you have a lot of anxiety to manage, a hobby can help you tremendously. Your hobby doesn't have to be a job, so pick something you aren't skilled at and learn all you can.
Take up music as a fun hobby. The next step is trying to decide what instrument appeals to you. Then you can consider taking lessons from a person, book or video. Remember to be patient and practice hard.
If you are a football fan, consider turning your love of the game into an interesting hobby. This can be done without actually hitting the field, just by doing fantasy football activities. All you need is to get your buddies together, set up a draft of NFL players and then watch from week to week to see how they perform through the whole season.
Fishing is a relaxing hobby. You only need to locate a fishing spot and purchase some fishing supplies. Then you're going to have to figure out where you can fish and if there are any permits you need. There is nothing like fishing to relieve you of a hectic life.
You don't want your hobbies controlling your life. It's great to have some hobbies, but you really have to balance out your hobbies and the responsibilities you have. If your hobby is taking away from family time or other responsibilities, limit the time you spend on it.
Don't allow a hobby to consume you. A hobby is a good way to relax and unwind, but it shouldn't distract you from meeting your responsibilities. You might want to limit yourself if your hobby is causing you to ignore the more important things in life.
If you want to lose weight and want a hobby, combine it. Take up running and train for a half-marathon, or take swimming classes with a goal to be swimming with your kids this summer. Doing exercise as your hobby is good for your general health.
Ice fishing is a cool hobby. It is a hobby you can enjoy for a lifetime. It's been around forever. Patience is required, but the payoff can be huge. You can either keep the fish or release it back into the water.
It's fun to ride horses outside. There are many wilderness areas that can only be accessed on horseback. In addition, you can befriend your horse, giving you a connection to nature that you have never experienced before.
If you are considering a hobby and also need to lose weight, consider finding a hobby that combines the two. Running could be a great hobby to consider, or even something like swimming. When you get fit, you'll feel amazing.
Share your hobby with others. It's random things like that which make your life special. Hobbies offer you a way to spend time enjoying your passions. Allow others to get a look at what you make, collect, or follow. Show your friends and family members your hobby. You can create new opportunities and friendships this way.
Sculpting can be quite relaxing if that's the type of hobby you are looking for. Clay is relaxing between your hands. Don't try to sculpt alone! Look for a class and have your friend take it, too.
Gaming online is a growing hobby that many are passionate about. You get to enter another world through online gaming. Gaming is a great way to fill up any free time in your day.
Surfing is a lot of fun if you are looking for a water based hobby. You can buy a used board to start, and the lessons do not cost that much. You will also notice that your leg muscles will benefit from this wonderful exercise.
Calligraphy can spice up your life if you choose it as a hobby. You'll find that the start-up costs are minimal, and learning how to make those beautiful calligraphy curves is rewarding and calming. Take a class, or work on learning it on your own. Either way, you'll appreciate the way your handwriting starts to look.
Look to see if you can find lots of online information about your hobby. If you find that your hobby is somewhat rare, you may be able to take advantage of that by creating a website of your own. You could even earn a little side money by setting up a website about your hobby.
Never feel guilty about pursuing things that you enjoy, as long as you allot time for them in your schedule and are not neglecting other essential things. Hobbies round out your life and make you complete. Whenever you have time, enjoy your hobby.
You can include others in your hobby. What makes life great is being able to have those little moments of joy with others. Often, things like that are related to your hobbies. Allow others to experience your hobby. Let your hobby be your way of participating in the world. You will meet new people and possibly learn some things you didn't know.
If you enjoy reading and have a ton of books at home, you could sell to a second-hand bookstore. You can clear some room in your home, and get store credit for new books. Reading is a very enjoyable hobby that relaxes you.
Learning calligraphy is an interesting hobby to start. You'll find that the start-up costs are minimal, and learning how to make those beautiful calligraphy curves is rewarding and calming. Take a class, or go the self trained method in calligraphy. Whatever the case may be, you'll have a big appreciation for writing after you're done.
Why do you need to pick out a hobby? Research has indicated that hobbies offer many psychological benefits. Doing something you enjoy can make life feel better about living. In addition, hobbies help increase your mood and alleviate stress from your hectic life.
Star gazing is a terrific hobby. Checking out stars is a great way to get close with outer space. You'll really begin to contemplate your own existence. You only need a telescope to see everything.
What do your kids like to do? Do they dance along to songs on TV? Sign them up for a dance class!
If you have a passion for reading but are discovering yourself getting buried in them, think taking them to a local used bookstore. You will not only get more space where you live, you can get new books when you build up the store credit for them. Reading is a fun and relaxing hobby.
When starting out with a new hobby, it is important that you keep safety in mind. Read the instructions for any hobby equipment that you put to use. Clean and organize your hobby area. Look for an experienced hobbyist who can teach you. When you are safe, you can enjoy your hobby for years.
Make sure your hobby area stays well-organized. When you need to find something, you'll be frustration-free. It's also safer. You never want an injury to occur because you left something sharp in the wrong place.
Do some research on any new hobby before you start. Hobbies can differ significantly. There are creative hobbies, some that require physical activity, and others that take up a large amount of your time. Make sure that you research it thoroughly to know what to expect, if there are any possible risks, and whether or not it is the right hobby for you and your schedule.
There is no reason you should consume alcohol during your hobby, unless you have a hobby that somehow involves alcohol. Alcohol can be dangerous because it can affect your judgment. Without alcohol, you will see that you are having more fun and enjoy what you are doing to a higher extent.
Being a fan is a hobby, too! Learn about the sport and the team itself to make it more fun for you. This information will help you learn to enjoy the sport even more. You can make friends with other fans and spend some exciting time during the season for your sport.
Why not turn fitness into a hobby? It can blend several hobbies into a larger one. Become a member of a local gym and join a sports team. Visit your local swimming pool for an excellent workout. Fitness affects you every day of your life.
Woodworking is a great hobby for various reasons. This pastime is a lot of fun. You also have the ability to make tangible items that can be useful to many. Your hobby allows you to save money and even make some on the side.
If you love doing jigsaw puzzles, but can't stand the thought of keeping your dining table tied up with them, buy a folding puzzle board. It is a great way to keep your puzzles intact and safely stored flat when not in use. The board will keep all of the pieces where you want them.
Keep your hobby area well supplied. If you don't have what you need, your projects may not get done, things can go wrong, or you could compromise your safety. Research your specific needs and make an investment for your new hobby.
Research any organizations or groups that are based on the hobby you love. This helps you find out new information and also socialize with other people. Organizations help you keep up with what is trending concerning your hobby.
Create a quilt. Get your family involved with how the quilt is made. Allow them to choose a fabric they like. Scraps can be any old clothes or linens or swatches from the fabric store. When the time comes that it all has to be put together, let each person sew their own fabric swatch onto the quilt.
Your talents can be the basis of a new hobby. Decorating wooden boxes, plaques or birdhouses with pictures is a great idea for those who are artistic. This is an excellent way that you can make treasured gifts, or even some extra cash.
Figure out what goes into cake decorating! This skill lets you create many wonderful cakes that you can give to friends and family. There are a lot of classes in cake decorating at nearby colleges, or hobby stores carry kits and instructional videos.
Puzzles have been a great hobby to start because they're fun. There are puzzles of all difficulty levels available. Cover with a glaze and you can preserve the puzzle when you are finished. Make the next one you do more challenging, to keep it interesting.
Sometimes your hobby will be something that can benefit the community or the whole world. You can act with great benevolence with a hobby that helps others. This can be teaching children, starting a garden for the neighborhood that's organic, or you can knit some sweaters for people in need.
When trying to figure out what hobby to pursue, head out to the local library. You will find a great selection of books and classes that can help you with your hobby. These will be free, and they are a great resource.
When searching for a new hobby, take advantage of the Internet as a resource. You'll find lots of great info on hobbies, and even communities to get involved in. You can find an endless supply of hobbies on the Internet, all just waiting for you.
There is lots to learn about hobbies. You can enjoy virtually millions of fun hobbies. The best way to get started is by finding something that interests you, or something that you are already good at. Take what you learned here and apply it to your search for a new and rewarding hobby.
Hiking or walking is an excellent way of spending time outdoors, in addition to providing exercise. Be sure to bring your camera to take pictures of the animals and scenery. This is a hobby that costs little and can be done solo or with other people. Many localities maintain safe, popular trails.

Flooding and fallen trees on the course forced Hartlepool Burn Road Harriers to change their route three times before the off in the Old Monks race at Hart Village yesterday.

Last year's winner, Tristan Learoyd (New Marske), retained his title (29.25) ahead of James Oldfield of Sedgefield (29.39), with Mike Jefferies (Richmond) third (29.52).
The hosts had former Sunderland marathon winner Paul Wilson in fourth (30.21).

"Men nearly always follow the tracks made by others and proceed in their affairs by imitation, even though they cannot entirely keep to the tracks of others or emulate the prowess of their models. So a prudent man should always follow in the footsteps of great men and imitate those who have been outstanding. If his own prowess fails to compare with theirs, at least it has an air of greatness about it. He should behave like those archers who, if they are skilful, when the target seems too distant, know the capabilities of their bow and aim a good deal higher than their objective, not in order to shoot so high but so that by aiming high they can reach the target."

The next webinar in the PIM Monthly Webinars series will take place on June 28, 11:00 AM EST. Mark Rosegrant (IFPRI) will summarize findings from a recent analysis of the impacts of alternative agricultural investment options on global objectives such as the SDGs and the CGIAR's System Level Outcomes in the coming decades.
Evaluating impact of participatory agricultural interventions: do we see what we want to see?
"Agricultural (research) programs without rigorous impact evaluation tend to focus on rapid testing (and rollout) of technologies with high-probability adopters to provide swift feedback to donor constituencies. Such programs also tend to favor numeric accomplishments over a deeper understanding of complex development processes with the unintended consequence of promoting solutions without strong evidence of impact >> Read more
Exploring farmers' willingness to pay for drought tolerance in maize in Zimbabwe
Adoption of new technologies depends significantly on whether potential users are willing to pay a premium for the associated benefits. The new study explores farmers' willingness to pay for drought tolerance (DT) in maize, a crop playing a leading role in the food security in southern Africa. Focusing on Zimbabwe, this research aimed at estimating the implicit >> Read more

Moroccan carrot salad
I was asked to bring a carrrot salad to a barbecue the Boyfriend and I were invited to. As I'm not a big fan of the grated carrot-lemon- juice-sugar-and-yoghurt variety that is usually served as carrot salad in the part of the world I live, I went looking for another kind of carrot salad. I needed something tasty, different from the usual salad bar mush and easy to make in larger quantities. I thought that making something which involved cooking the carrots would do the trick (no grating, only chopping) and after a little culinary research I decided on a moroccan carrot salad.
Four four to six people you need:
- 1 kg carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- juice of 1 large lemon
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons icing sugar
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 bunches of flat leafed parsley
- 1 sprig of mint (optional)
- salt and freshly grounded pepper
- peel the carrots, chop off the ends and cut them diagonally into 5mm thick slices
- heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a large pan, add the carrots to the pan, stirring so they get evenly coated in olive oil, then cover the pan, lower the heat and cook the carrots for about twenty minutes until they are soft
- in the meantime, finely chop the parsley and the mint (if using), juice the lemon and peel the garlic
- when the carrots are done, transfer them into a serving bowl, add all the spices, the sugar, lemon juice and remaining oil, pressed garlic and the herbs and stir well
- season with salt and freshly ground pepper
The carrots can be eaten warm or cold. Most recipes use coriander instead of parsley but I'm not keen on the taste of fresh coriander. I thought that the carrots made for a lovely accompaniment to the grilled meat. We didn't have any lamb but I'm sure that that would be a match made in kitchen heaven.

Exam fear drives Dharavi teenager to suicide
A 16-year-old girl, who was a first year junior college student, hanged herself from the ceiling fan at her Dharavi residence on Thursday morning.mumbai Updated: Jan 06, 2012 02:06 IST
A 16-year-old girl, who was a first year junior college student, hanged herself from the ceiling fan at her Dharavi residence on Thursday morning.
The police suspect that Anita Nadar, who was an academically poor student, was stressed about her upcoming exams.
Nadar hanged herself using a sari between 10.30am and 11am when she was alone at home, said the Dharavi police.
The incident came to light when Anita's mother, who had gone to the market, returned home. While Nadar did not leave behind any suicide note, her father told the police that she was immensely worried about her upcoming exams.
Sub-inspector of Dharavi police station B Waghmode said: "Nadar had initially failed in her Class 10 exams and was not good at academics. She was scared she might lose one more year of her studies." Her parents told the police that Nadar, a student of Aryan college at Sion, would spend most of the day watching television and was not preparing for her exams.
The police have sent Nadar's body for autopsy to Sion Hospital, after which the body will be handed over to the family. Nadar is survived by her father, who is a driver by profession, her mother and a younger brother.
The Dharavi police have taken an accidental death report and said they do not suspect any foul play in the case.

Police chiefs respond to Trump's call to rough up suspects
Police chiefs have rebuffed President Trump's call to rough up suspects. Officers can stop protecting suspects' heads when they lower them into patrol cars, Mr Trump said during a speech to law enforcement officers, who clapped and laughed. Issued just hours after his speech, the statement does not make reference to President Trump or his remarks.

(For part I click here)
The "how to be a constitutional architect" conundrum dovetails with the questions of why constitutions matter and whether they really do evolve; whether they can or should be rationally designed or allowed to adapt in a process of spontaneous ordering. Most scholars think they have an angle on constitutional design – that is, as constitutional architects – that is rational because they frame the problem as axiomatic. They position themselves as constitutional architects and endeavour to draw up blueprints that are fitting for today, and forever. This makes constitutional analysis an exercise in logical reasoning (Locke, Kant, Mill, Rawls, etc.). The master social planer is the master architect; and essentially this amounts to an exercise in constitutional monument building.

Today I Started the Adobe Indesign CC 2015 corse & already it pretty neat…
Intro into indesign…
Most of the stuff talked about in the intro is pretty well known to me by now, there's all the basic tools: the type tool, the black arrow tool, the the hand tool, etc.
The layout…is…different, or rather, different than what I'm used to, I'm used to the design of PhotoShop & Illustrator, the "In complete Control" vibe I get from either of those two applications, look rather different then this:
Chapter 1: Learning InDesign in 30 Minutes.
This lesson taught the starting basics of the program, witch were a little different then that of what I am used too, but did still carry an air of familiarity with it.
This image [^Above^] is the base of what would soon be a Trifold/full color/Ready-to-Print/Adobe PDF file.
^Placed Text Image/File^ ^Typed & modifide text^
The 2nd thing I learned was how to place an image (Text File), witch was different, yet more control oriented, compared to two other applications that I use (Photoshop & Illustrator) and let me control exactly where I wanted to place the image, and how big it is from the start, without ever having to open the transform panel.
The 3rd thing I did was type the line "There's no place like home…" then I increased the text size and changed the text color of the word "home" to red
The 4th Thing I did was place the white filled "Globe Bank INTERNATIONAL" logo, and the colored "Globe Bank INTERNATIONAL" logo onto the Left (white), and Right (Colored) folds of the brochure.
The 5th thing I did was add the image of the man in the suit and use text wrap to make the text go around him.
The 6th and final thing i did to the brochure/pamphlet thing was set up the image the export as a PDF File, to be printed by others if needed.
Finished|Screen Shot of the PDF opened in preview:
Finished PDF file shown in preview…
Chapter 2: Working With InDesign Documents…
the into video (the 1st video) covers the panels and bars that make up the application and also covers which panels and other options are exclusive to the application compared to to other widely-used Adobe applications.
All of the other videos in this chapter show how to navigate in InDesign.
Chapter 3: Creating A Document…
The Chapters exactly how it sounds.
Adobe InDesign CC Essentials Training 2015:
Chapter 3: Creating a Document…
This Chapter covers the basics of starting a now document, the process is the same as every other basic Adobe program (like adobe Illustrator, and adobe Photoshop)
Video 1: New Documents…
The ony major difference is the ability to add a Bleed & Slug at the start of the document instead of it being in the print dialog box.
And the ability to Preview the document page before creating it, which is rather useful.
During lesson 1 (Video #1) I was taught how create a Document Preset;
In this case, "7 by 9 with 6p(Six Pica) top margin."
Video 2: Putting rulers on your page…
This Lesson was over how to place Guides and Ruler.
Hers where I placed the first doc. guide, at the top of the small text box to the left.
Then I dragged the other small text box to the guide.
I got it at exactly at 5 inches like the video said, without the need of the guide adjustment box.
Video 3: Adding Text Frames…
In this lesson I learned how to place text frames…which is another basic skill, but i did learn that if you created a Rectangle Frame with the rectangle Frame Tool…
Then Selected the text tool…
and clicked on the frame you just made.
Then it turns into a text frame.
Heres a picture of the text example text boxes that I created while fallowing the video…
I also rite a joke Small text Short story…thing.
Video 4: Typing and editing text…
In this lesson I learned how to edit text, and of the many ways to click on text… (Text Shortcuts.)
One Click:
Two Click:
Three Click:
I really hope that the isn't any more…
Today I got to Chapter (5) on the Lynda.com InDesign CC Essential Training course.
Chapter 3
For the rest of this chapter is was a recap of some of the stuff learned in chapters 1 & 2 in this Course.
At this point in the chapter I learned how to change the leading, character size, and character color.
Before Changes were made:
After Changes were made:
Here I added the Globe Bank logo:
And here I added the three pictures shown below:
Then I went back, and added another image over the frame triangle thing.

Page 1-2, Blank-Blank, Page 3-4, & Page 3 copy.
Page 1-2,3 & 1/2 blank,2nd 1/2 of 2-7
Independent Practice:
Heres My independent practice…for this practice I placed text from a word doc. into text frames that I drew.
This is using parts from my novel: Chapter 24 that told of the events that transpired before the events during "The Battle of Arc_Age," the grand kingdom to the East of the Centered Humen-Made City of Vallen formally know as Grand Vallen before the Vampire wars, to where the four Vampiric Kings, also known as "The Fanged Lords," attempted to subjugate humanity for "The prosperity and wellbeing of all, so that the Dark Emperor shall never return the this or any mortal plane…"
And as the story goes, they were unsuccessful in the attempted at total subjugation, and all but 2 of the lords were killed, which in turn there failure led the events of my 1st novel to transpire.
Today I completed Ch. 5 from the Lynda.com InDesign CC 2015 Essentials Training…

When I closed the the opened program (Photoshop or Illustrator) the images automatically updated themselves [*Relinked Themselves*] and shown the updated link in the LINKS panel over to the left.
> > >
Here I learned how to change image/frame color.
In the image I changed the text frames FILL to Orange/40%-70% Opacity with a STROKE of Black/100% Opacity.
Here I inverted, or rather, switched the Fill and Stroke by clicking the small switch icon found at the right of the image shown below.
Here I increased the size of the Text Boxes Stroke, and added a line with the line tool, then added a barbed head to the line in the stroke panel.
Image in -PREVIEW MODE-

The Classic Steak and Kidney Pie
The Classic Steak and Kidney Pie
Now Watching: {{ playlist.onNowText }}
Up Next: {{ playlist.upNextText }}
Chef's Note
"This is Gary Rhodes recipe for a great steak and kidney pie, which also allows you the bonus of making the filling the day before you need it. Cover it and bake the following day for 45 minutes to 1 hour and dinner is ready!"
READY IN:2hrs 40mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon beef drippings or 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chuck steaks, cut into 1 inch dice
- 1⁄2 lb ox kidney (or lamb's, trimmed and diced)
- 12 ounces puff pastry
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into rough dice (5/8 inch)
- butter
- 4 large flat mushrooms, cut into thick slices
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon tomato puree
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 pint veal stock (or water and stock cube or granules) or 1 pint beef stock (or water and stock cube or granules)
- Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg, beaten, for glazing
- Heat a large frying pan with a little of the dripping or oil. Season the diced beef with salt and pepper. Fry in the pan until well coloured and completely sealed. Life out the meat and transfer to a large saucepan. Add a touch more oil, if necessary, to the frying pan. Season the kidneys and also fry quickly to seal and colour in the hot pan. Also transfer to the saucepan.
- Melt a knob of butter in the pan and cook the onions and carrots in the melted butter for 2 - 3 minutes. They will lift any flavours left from the meats. Put into the saucepan with the meat. Fry the mushroom slices in a little more butter, just turning in the pan for a minute or two; keep to one side.
- Place the saucepan on medium heat, stirring in the flour, and allow it to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, bay leaf and mushrooms. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer, skimming off any impurities. The meat should just be covered with the stock; if not, top with a little more stock or water. Simmer gently, partially covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. During the cooking time it may need to be skimmed several times.
- After 1 1/2 hours, check the meat for tenderness. If not quite soft enough, cook for the additional 30 minutes. If the meat is cooking gently, it will not need to be topped up with any additional stock or water. The sauce will have reduced, thickening it's consistency and increasing it's flavour.
- Taste for seasoning, adding a dash or two of Worcestershire Sauce to the mixture. Transfer to a 2 pint pie dish and allow to cool to lukewarm.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F.
- Roll the pastry 1/4-inch thick. Cut a strip of pastry to sit around the rim of the dish. This will help the top to stay on. Brush the rim of the pie dish with some beaten egg and apply the strip. Brush again with egg. Making sure the pastry top is bigger than the dish, sit it on top. Push down around the sides, trim and crimp for a neat finish. Brush completely with egg wash and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.

It really does feel like a hump day today - so many of the blogs that I read had cryptic sounding things to say. Too much rain, too hot, too humid, bedrooms not looking the best, kids drawing on walls next, can't find time to do all they want to do, husbands not doing the "one" single thing that was asked of them.
Some days I feel so fortunate to be a single person who can do what she wants when she wants. Then are days when I am so down and depressed that I would love to have someone sitting on the other side of the room who could just "be" - they don't have to talk, fix anything, watch anything, give opinions - just be.
I made it to work today with much self talk. I really do not enjoy the headaches I've been having - is it from the anxiety meds or the new anti-depressants? Who knows? Plus I need to sleep - many, many hours in a row. If I'm not tossing and turning then my dog, Henry, is moving from one spot to the next. I swore I'd never let him sleep in my bed - I was going to be a strict owner - I should have thought of that before I brought home a month old puppy before I was done with chemo and it was in the middle of winter. I am the worse dog mom that I know. He's so spoiled!! I would have never let my son get away with the things this dog does. I'm too old to care now I guess................oh well.
I think journaling aka blogging is helping me get back to a sense of who I am, what's been going on and bringing out my creative side once again. When I was battling ovarian cancer I journaled on Caring Bridge and it was wonderful. Everyone could keep up with how you were doing, I didn't have to retell my story over and over again and all of my friends and family loved knowing how I was doing, what I was doing and what I needed just by reading a few paragraphs. But when certain people started using it as an excuse to never be in touch with me on a personal level - well I quit writing. I felt as if I couldn't be myself any longer - I think I love the being anonymous person - not knowing who reads this, not wondering what someone thinks, just writing about what I'm feeling and letting it go at that.
Would I like a 1,000 followers? I don't think so - that's a lot of pressure. But I love that those of you who do write daily do it in such a joyful way. I laugh a lot. I get inspired. I know I am not alone.
Take care.

The Buckley House's Permanent Resident
In the early 1880s, Maria became the patroness of a young Chinese immigrant and missionary sponsored student named William New Kim. William, while living in the home during his studies, fell in love with Sophia Hoff, a chambermaid. The two pledged their love for each other, and it is believed that they physically consumated the relationship as well, leading William to feel that he was considered "married."
Sophia was sent off to Cincinatti, but the lovers kept up their correspondence and even managed to visit each other from time to time. All was well until Mrs. Maria Woodbridge discovered the love letters. Not approving of the relationship, she sought the advice of the pastor of the First Congregational Church. The pastor gave William a long lecture, presumably on the evils of premarital sex, sin, and who knows what else. Whatever was said, however, was enough to put the young Chinese immigrant into quite a depression.
One November day, on his way home from work, he stopped at a local pharmacy to pick up a bottle of chloroform. The next day, on November 7, 1881, the young man was found dead in his room. He had dressed himself in his own funeral clothes, and had taken his life. He is buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery, under a unique monument written in 3 languages.
During the house's tenure as a bed and breakfast, strange things began happening that led guests and staff alike to believe that the young Chinese man's spirit never left. Creaking stairs and floorboards were common, but the middle bedroom on the second floor is said to be the center of the haunting. It is the room where dogs refuse to enter, and those sensitive to such things claim to feel an overwhelmingly negative energy.

The collection
In the West, we use numbers to represent things, mathematical and geometric—even to symbolize space, order, movement or tension, but numbers hardly express other conditions of what is vital and human.
Working, intervening in the exterior of an object-space, geometrically perfect, prompted me to play freely with leather, seeking to redefine the notion of proportional perfection, to transform it into something living. hoping that the subject comes alive.
The pursuit of balance has always been a goal of human societies and of geometry; the golden number and golden ratio have served to provide objects and representations of aesthetic balance and harmonic reason. As i see it, this cultural awareness of harmony helps us make sense of the natural chaos that surrounds us and is part of us, like the reflection of a greater, boundless universe.
Speaking, thinking in these terms, I do think not in proportions and measurements. not in an aesthetic geometric balance, but in the priceless movement of things rather than a harmonic place or point in the distance, the space of transition that exists in two places or points in balance, its vibration.
Following the Fibonacci sequence, nature uses successions that are dimensionally proportional to the golden ratio, and that in a similar manner affect us too—our own structure, even our genetics.
Accordingly, we are all made roughly equal in terms of our internal structure, on the inside, but in reality each and every one of us is and operates emotionally, outwardly, in a unique manner—we are different.
If we carefully study the cephalopod mollusk, nautilus, whose shell is a reference for studies of the golden ratio, we note that it is not quite perfect—moreover, its exterior has nothing to do with its interior, and it is apparent that every specimen is unique in itself. every shell—here i'll use the word skin—has its own drawing, color, touch and scar, thus distinguishing itself.
Given the perfect identity of a ONESIXONE bag, I felt the need to signify its skin as being the reflection of a vital, destabilizing experience. in search of a singular energy, in sync with its organic component, leather—expressive hallmarks of vital stimuli and turns, like storms that move and breathe life. An expression of the unexpected, provo- king the bag to breathe through the skin and come to life.
As a painter, working with natural leather, an unfamiliar material to me, has allowed me to see and feel with different eyes, to discover something very different but also very near. To rub, punch, show sensitivity—in short, to experiment with the notion of stable imbalance and the possibilities that emerge from an encounter with the unexpec- ted. everything has a reason, and perhaps that is also why it is always so different.
Vicky Uslé
The genesis
ONESIXONE shows how comes alive the language of the artist. The creative process of each artist is the main character of each collection: the exploration that occurs beforehand, the development of the concept and the final work. This is the result that allows the artist, the leather craftsmen, the tanners and the designer to celebrate the creation of a collection. Each bag becomes a mirror of the artist's mind, his ideas, his experiences and how he understands the philosophy of the brand.
The artist chooses techniques, the materials, colors or shapes and decides whether these items are simply containers or if they contain themselves. Each collection, each bag has its own history, its own space. Exploration and inspiration, arts and crafts, wellness and individuality were the criteria and principles guiding ONESIXONE. The rigorous tradition of high quality craftsmanship and the transmission of emotions through hands.
"For me, the image of perfection is closer to an emotionally charged concept —a feeling, precise and necessary, but never to an idea that is fixed or formally predetermined"

Review : YouUnique Mascara
I'm not a lover of the concept of YouUnique. From what I understand it's business model is a lot like Avon - you can only buy these in the UK from selected YouUnique representatives - correct me if I'm wrong. I had seen these floating around social networks and was even targeted using a couple of dodgy sales strategies, and while I was intrigued by the product I wasn't going to shell out for it purely because of the way some reps had approached me.
Is that just me? Or do you sometimes feel if you push me, you're not having my custom at all?
Anyway, onto the review...
This concept isn't new - I'm pretty sure Too Faced do a mascara system similar to this and of course recent brow gel such as Gimme Brow use this type of technology to add volume to brows.
The procedure is a 3 step one - Mascara - Fibers - Mascara.
You get a mascara with a regular bristle wand, and a separate tube with the fibers in it.
On it's own, the mascara itself it pretty good anyway. It's a little wet for my liking, but this will soon dry out. It creates great length, good separation and decent volume - great for an every day eye. But The reason I wouldn't use this every day is because after more and more use it will become 'contaminated' with the little fibers.
After one good coating of the lashes, you move on to the fibers.
The fibers are pretty good too. They come in a slightly smaller mascara bottle and are packed on to the regular mascara spoolie - so application is really straight forward to be honest. You apply this on newly applied mascara so the fibers can cling on while the first coat of mascara is drying. I find it really easy to build up the volume if you need too, but it can be easy to create some clumps at this stage. No need to massively worry, because I find another coat of masacara to set can smooth these out when using a strategic hand!
After a second coat, you've got some pretty voluminous eyelashes going on. For me, this definitely isn't an every day look, but a go-to for nights out! I'm rubbish at applying eyelashes, so this is a very welcome addition to my makeup collection!
Have you tried this mascara? Or others like it? What did you think?

All the conspiracy theorists had been sitting idle for some time. After the Charlie Hebdo attacks, they found another exciting opportunity to make new conspiracy theories using their fringe science and photoshop.
Moon landing or 9/11, this market of conspiracy theories is never going to end. When BBC reported the conspiracy theories being surfaced, the footage became an "evidence" for those guys and laymen started believing in these theories. "BBC can't be wrong," while BBC is wrong everywhere else where they don't like it to be correct.
BBC wasn't wrong but reporting the existence of theories doesn't give those theories credibility. However, here's a new blow. A German newspaper has become victim of an arson attack after it republished Charlie Hebdo's cartoons.
The thing to ponder is whether this is also a part of that greater conspiracy of French against Islam and now Germany is also the partner? Or we should use Occam's razor, considering the simplest and evident explanation that we want the world to run according to our standards. Our religious scholars need to come out and make people understand the need of the hour, instead of pushing us back to the same closet of self-righteousness and self-pity.
My concern is the safety and development of Muslims themselves. Unless we reconcile to the facts of the real world, we are going to face problems. Unless we stop the clergy from provoking us into violence while they themselves enjoy the power and authority by sitting in our community centres aka mosques.
We need to develop our understanding of liberal and democratic principles, such as freedom of expression (while of course enjoying it ourselves considering it our birth right.) We need to synchronise these principles with our religion by bringing reforms and promoting reformists. We need to come out of self-pity and self-victimisation and look at the world with an open mind. Unless we do all this, we can't synchronise with the momentum of the world and will continue to be stuck in the clutches of orthodoxy.
We are still unable to condemn Charlie Hebdo attacks unconditionally due to our religious bias but we are also hasty enough to dismiss the same religious bias behind violence.
We have all the right to show our disagreement but not with violence and its endorsement. Sadly, it's just the matter of resources and environment, otherwise most of us are no different than Kouachi brothers. Just at some lower levels of eeman– praising the attackers, or at the very least, considering the attacks good in our hearts.

-Franklin D. Roosevelt
I like this quote because I think it's just so relatable and accurate. No one is just gonna fly through life without having any obstacles in their way at some point. At some point we're all gonna get something thrown our way, and we might think that it's the worse that's ever happened to us, but then when we overcome it, (which I believe most people will), we realize that we've also learnt and grown as a person.
My philosophy, (I just realized, but whatever), is that if something is easy, then you're not trying hard enough. Life is not easy, but no one ever said it would be and if you think about it, what would the point also be then? If everything was just great all the time, how would you even know when they were great?
You can't feel happiness without having known pain.
As an extra bonus I'm giving you an extra quote, because I thought it fit perfectly into this rambling session.
"Of course life is a bitch. If it was a slut, it would be easy."
And with that in mind, I'll leave you to it.
Thanks for reading!
I nominate the following bloggers for the 3-day quote challenge:
If you accept the challenge, post 1 quote(or more if you feel like it), for 3 consecutive days, and nominate 3 other bloggers to do the same each day!

HAGERSTOWN — It's a one in 175 million chance that, at least for this week, many are willing to take.
The Mega Millions lottery jackpot has soared to $355 million with a $224.2 million cash option as a result of overwhelming sales this weekend, according to game offiicals.
The jackpot was initially estimated at about $330 million, but lottery officials decided late Tuesday morning to increase the prize to $355 million.
"Why am I buying a ticket? $330 million, that's why," Art Campbell said Monday as he bought $5 worth of tickets at Central City Liquors in Hagerstown.
The odds of matching five white balls and the Mega Ball in Tuesday night's drawing are 1 in 175 million per $1 ticket, but that has not stopped people from playing.
Mega Millions is played in 42 jurisdictions, including Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, according to Lottery Spokeswoman Gail Pelovitz.
Tuesday night's jackpot is the third-largest in Mega Millions history, according to a lottery news release. The largest was $390 million.
If the jackpot is hit in Maryland, it will be the largest ever won in the state, the release said.
The Maryland Lottery reported Monday that a $250,000 Mega Millions, second-tier winning ticket was sold Friday at Martin's Food Market on North Pointe Drive in Hagerstown. The ticket had not been claimed as of Monday, lottery officials said.
The lure of $330 million convinced many people to buy a ticket Monday at Central City Liquors on the corner of Washington Street and Burhans Boulevard.
Central City Liquors sells the most Maryland Lottery tickets in the Hagerstown area, Pelovitz said.
At the liquor store, employees have come to know the section of the store dedicated to lottery sales as the "lucky lottery lounge," they said.
Signs outside the store let people know how big the jackpot has grown.
Kelly Collison, who handles most of the lottery sales at Central City Liquors, said she has been selling a lot of Mega Millions tickets recently. She said she expected to sell more Tuesday.
With the jackpot this large, some people will buy on a whim, she said.
Like Frankie Smith, who said he never plays the lottery but came to the store Monday to buy tickets for himself and his wife.
Others who play frequently will buy even more tickets, Collison said.
"I had someone buy 12, $5 tickets," she said. "There is a lady who comes in and buys for the people at her job. They do a group thing."
"I bought $50 worth at Exxon today," said Marty Wright, an employee at Central City Liquors.
Regardless of why they buy, nearly everyone spending $1 to $5 has thought about what they would do with the money if they won.
"If I win, there's going to be a lot of people living a better life," said Bob Artz, noting that he would give away some of the money.
Wright said he would give at least half of the money to local charities.
Gary Peck, who stopped in to buy beer and a lottery ticket, said he would give some to the employees at Central City Liquors to make their lives a little easier and spend the rest on his kids.
"I'd pay off some bills, buy a house and give money to a children's hospital," Collison said.
"I'd move somewhere warmer," Smith said.
Pelovitz said the jackpot will climb higher if more people buy tickets and it is not won.
"But it only takes one ticket to win," Peck said, giving his ticket a shake.
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday evenings.

What I want to get most out of my ListServe opportunity is the chance to connect, so feel free to contact me with whatever's on your mind (maybe read the rest of this before you do, though...).
I wanted to write something unique and intriguing, of course, but I'm rarely that creative. Probably tomorrow I'll think of something fascinating I should have written. There's a writing 'experiment' further in. My introduction is at the end because it is typical and boring.
Try sunflower butter with honey on rye toast.
I intended the bulk of this e-mail to be about Tolkien and YouTube (as two separate topics, though now I wonder if there are any good Tolkien-focused YouTube channels?), but I really don't know what to say about Tolkien other than I am utterly fascinated and enamoured with his creation of Middle-Earth and all that relates to it (I'm going to Oxford at the end of August as a kind of pilgrimage). I have a bit more to say about YouTube.
I'm always fascinated when people don't understand YouTube in the same way I do – thinking it's just for how to guides, silly clips or music videos. I wonder how many of you understand YouTube in this way? I hope you'd be impressed by amount of original quality content created for YouTube by ordinary people, and the communities that grow around that content. I would love for more people to experience this world. Hard to describe with words, just check out some YouTubers instead – for 'beginners' I recommend kickthepj and charlieissocoollike. For something a little different, check out hexachordal. (Yes, they're all popular British male YouTubers but off the top of my head I think they're a good start). There's a fantastic series running now called Becoming YouTube; I'm not sure how interesting it would be for someone who's not already engaged with YouTube but you could check it out.
On a related note, shout out to Alan Lastufka, who doesn't know me, but I've been a fan since fiveawesomeguys and he was how I found out about the Listserve.
You'll get no sage life advice or wisdom garnered through travelling from me, but here are some lyrics to keep in mind ("Show Starts Now" by Cloud Cult; Craig's words help keep things in perspective):
Hold your breath for a better day and you'll never learn to breathe
You're afraid of the dark but that's where you learn to see
You're no good to the living if you're too afraid to bleed
That's why your show starts now
Message me (be patient for a reply) if the following is relevant to you, or if you want to know more:
· Tolkien fan
· Summer in the City
· Writing as a personal activity
· Music (particularly Depeche Mode/Cloud Cult/AFP/Tom Milsom/Orphaned Land)
· Books (particularly Helen Oyeyemi/Cornelia Funke/Haruki Murakami/Catherynne M. Valente)
Since I wanted to include some type of interactive writing experiment, send me a piece of your writing and I'll reinterpret/expand and send it back. Ask and I'll send you a piece of mine.
I'm yet another Listserve participant who can't believe they were chosen, can't belive the timing, and isn't at all prepared. I left my home on the Canadian prairies to WWOOF in Ireland on June 9, the most extreme experience in my life so far. I find myself placed me in a position where, for the first time in my life, I have no easy internet access and very little time to spend on the computer. I am writing this in the three hours before it is due.

Bloomfield Hills, Mich., August 16, 2011 — Princeton Enterprises, a privately held real estate investment company based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. is pleased to announce the purchase of the Carlyle Towers Apartments, a multifamily apartment community located in Southfield, Mich.
On August 9, 2011 Princeton Enterprises closed on the acquisition of the ten story midrise tower located in southeastern Michigan with the assistance of Andrew Daitch of Marcus and Millichap, who brokered the transaction. Ocwen Financial Group sold the foreclosed property on behalf of Fannie Mae.
Carlyle Towers is a 175 unit multifamily property situated in Southfield, a thriving business community in the heart of metropolitan Detroit. The property is located within minutes of Providence Medical Center, ITT Technical Institute, and most major Detroit-area expressways. The ten story semi-luxury midrise features a doorman, underground parking, community room, swimming pool, and commercial spaces including a convenience store, hair salon, and medical offices. Individual apartments boast exceptionally large two and three bedroom homes with two full bathrooms, walk in closets, and balconies that offer breathtaking views of the city skyline.
"The Carlyle enjoys an excellent location in a metropolitan Detroit submarket that has been overlooked for a long time but has experienced a noticeable resurgence in recent years. This fact, coupled with an extensive renovation program that will allow us to re-open a newly restored parking structure and a general recovery in the apartment market, points to what I believe will be a successful and well-timed investment," commented Matt Lester, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Princeton Enterprises.
For additional information on this announcement or Princeton Enterprises, please contact Michele Dreer at (248) 683-2500 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Princeton Enterprises, L.L.C. located in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is a premier real estate acquisition, development, and property management company that enjoys one of the finest reputations for successfully acquiring, repositioning and operating a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. Founded in 1994 by Matthew B. Lester, the company has grown to more than 400 employees, overseeing nearly 75 properties and 14,000 individual apartment units in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

With 24 destinations, 9 unique itineraries, and hundreds of shore excursions, the combinations for bucket-list inspired adventure are nearly endless. Celebrity's Alaska cruises are designed to surpass expectations.
Amsterdam, the beautiful capital of the Netherlands, has the wonderful atmosphere of a 17th-century city combined with the contemporary character of a modern metropolis. It is a treasure chest of superb architecture and is famous for its canals and extraordinary museums. Highlights include the towers and steeples, considered to be some of the city's loveliest features.
For so many years a city divided, Berlin is now united, bringing together cultures and languages from throughout the world. We'll access this excitingly eclectic city from Warnemünde, a charming old fishing town located at the mouth of the Warnow River.
Occupying a peninsula and several islands, this capital city's stunning structures surround some of the most spectacular bays you could ever hope to find. Stroll down broad, tree-lined streets, or take in the amazing neo-classically designed architecture in Senate Square.
Although reportedly built to resemble such Western cities as London, Paris, and Vienna, one look at St. Petersburg's regal palaces and vast public squares is enough to tell you that it is truly in a class of its own. If you're fortunate enough to be in St. Petersburg in June, revel in the city's famous "white nights," when the boundless night sky is never completely dark.
Tallinn has remained remarkably unchanged since its founding in 1154 A.D. The preservation of this city's Old World charm enables visitors to enjoy architectural marvels of centuries past, such as the soaring towers of Toompea Castle and the exquisite Russian Orthodox Cathedral. The exception is the delightfully modern pink Parliament building, visible from Palace Square.
No fewer than 50 bridges connect this Swedish capital's 14 islands to its mainland. Visit the many parks, museums, and palaces or make your way through Gamla Stan, or Old Town, packed with historic buildings, shops, and cafés.
Whether strolling through blooming flowers in Tivoli Gardens, witnessing the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace or touring Kronborg Castle—the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet— it's easy to see why this once-humble fishing village grew to become the capital of Denmark.

Vital wheat gluten is the most important ingredient you can add to 100% whole wheat bread to help it turn into a fluffy, delicate loaf instead of a dense brick. It can also be used to make faux meat ("wheat meat", a.k.a. seitan), though I've never done that before. Vital wheat gluten has a shelf life of 7-10 years, making it a good candidate for your long term food storage.
I made this recipe on a weeknight and it was indeed as quick and easy as my friend claimed. There was a delicious contrast between the crispy exterior and creamy inside of the bean burger. A burger that is healthy, delicious, and uses items I always keep in my food storage? I'm sold!
|Bean burger and sweet potato fries. Yum!
Black Bean Burgers (Recipe adapted from Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook)
1-15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed (OR about 1-2/3 c. cooked black beans [2/3 c. dry])
1 t. chili powder
1/2 t. cumin
Salt to taste
1/4 c. water
1 T. tomato paste (OR tomato powder reconstituted according to package directions)
1/4 c. finely chopped cilantro (OR substitute another herb to your taste)
2 cloves of garlic, minced (OR 1/4-1/2 t. garlic powder)
1/2 small onion, grated (OR 1-2 T. dried onion, rehydrated and then finely chopped)
1/2 c. vital wheat gluten
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
Olive Oil
Mash the beans with a fork or potato masher in a mixing bowl. It's OK to have a few chunky bits. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, water, tomato paste, cilantro, garlic, and onion and mix.
Add the gluten and bread crumbs, kneading with your hands until everything is well-mixed. Divide the mixture into six pieces and form into 1/2" thick patties.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook the patties in batches (don't crowd them in the skillet) until brown, about 3-5 minutes. Flip the patties and cook the other side. Serve on buns. I like mine with mayonnaise and jalapeno mustard. :)
