Old Spitalfields Market's Square Pie began 'properly' (to quote the website) in 2011, when recently unemployed cofounder Martin Dewey found himself inspired to create a place to get 'quality pies' round here. Considering the UK is supposedly known for pie and mash (amongst other things) I can't help but feel that the country was letting him down back then. Anyway, well over a decade later (and after some rough times, including the remortgaging Martin's flat) Square Pie is doing very well indeed. We were invited down into the Square Pie mothership (OK, it's just a shop but mothership sounds better) on Old Spitalfields Market for their latest pie/global sports tie in: the 'Pie World Cup'.
So yeah, this was the launch of their new range of 'pies for trys' (lol). They've teamed up with ex England captain and all round sports hero, Lawrence Dallaglio, and his charity - the Dallaglio Foundation - where Square Pie are 'official food partner' for the next few years. What this entails, really, is a limited range of pies with unusual ingredients: including Kangaroo Pie (for Australia) and Moose Pie (for Canada), Springbok (South Africa) and Pastel De Carne (Uruguay). Representing England is nothing other than the classic Steak and Ale, with 10p from every sale of said steak and ale going to the Dallaglio Foundation - which is cool. Lawrence was not around to comment on charitable pies but I was distracted by a new variety of cider so this is OK.
A little more about their history, Square Pie, who describe themselves as a 'gourmet pie company', started trading on a small stall in Spitalfields market (supposedly selling a grand total of seven pies on their first day of trading..) which eventually led to the likes of a stall at Glastonbury and now to outlets all over London - including Canary Wharf, Heathrow Terminal 1 and Selfridge's food hall. They're opening their first 'non-London' outlet at the new Grand Central development in Birmingham later this year, and have produced over 120 pie varieties to date - supplying said pie varieties to the likes of Manchester United, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis.
Asides from pies in many forms (and by 'many forms' I mean usually square), they also produce a range of (mainly sausage-centric) British classics such as bangers and mash, sausage rolls, macaroni cheese, etc. Square Pie also list the kcal/macros for most of their foods onsite, which is pretty ballsy for a supplier of food that will never be accused of being healthy. I'm no fan of pies but they seem like good people so I wish them many further successes!

Properly known as the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, www.sfwmpac.org/symphonyhall/sh_index.html , the hall opened in 1980, and as you can see from the interior, it's a beautiful piece of art in its own right.
Some may recognize the acoustic designers of the performance space: Bolt, Beranek, and Newman. The building achieves acoustic isolation of the theatre by having a 'building in a building.'

Built in 1928
---
"The Helen Gordon Child Development Center is located at the corner of SW Market and 12th. The Center was built in 1928 as the Portland Fruit and Flower Mission. Originally organized by eight school girls to deliver flowers to hospital patients and shut-ins, the Fruit and Flower Society ultimately became Oregon's leading child care center. Additionally, the organization supplied food, clothing, furniture and other items to local charities.
The Portland Fruit and Flower Mission became a full-time child development facility with the help of Helen Gordon, an advocate for young children and their right to have quality child care and pre-school. Childcare began at Portland State University in 1971 as the result of efforts of Gordon and a small, committed group of student mothers who staged a sit-down in the University's President's office. In 1986, the same year it was added to the National Historic Register, the Portland Fruit and Flower Mission was renamed the Helen Gordon Child Development Center (HGCDC) in honor of the achievements made by its namesake.
Not only has PSU succeeded in retaining the social importance of the HGCDC, but it has also recognized the significance in creating an environmentally sustainable building. In 2003, HGCDC was renovated and a new addition was constructed to meet state requirements for energy efficiency and to control lead paint and asbestos.
As an Oregon State Energy Efficiency Design (SEED) project, the renovation called for energy conservation measures (ECMs) to be integrated into the building design. These ECMs include efficient lighting layout and design to minimize the amount of light fixtures, and clear glass in doorways to allow natural light to filter through the hallways to maximize daylight. Other innovative features include natural ventilation in the "piazza" between the original building and the addition. In the form of a chimney effect, heat is drawn out of the building through vents in the ceiling of the "piazza". Exposed utilities throughout hallway ceilings on the first floor and heated floors in the infant and toddler room reduce the need for resources which otherwise would have been needed for ceiling tiles. Overall, the ECMs contribute to an annual savings of about $28,000.
In addition to eliminating inefficient use of energy in the HGCDC, measures were taken to control storm water around the building. A constant problem in the Pacific Northwest, stormwater, if not properly managed, flows over streets and pavement collecting pollutants and carrying them into streams and rivers. To alleviate the problem at the Center, planters were placed at the northwest corner and next to the parking garage to manage water runoff from the roof and playground and to filter out pollutants and reduce volume to improve water quality.
Finally, the project also called for preserving the existing building. Many of the distinctive details of the building that have been preserved include retaining the wood floors and paneling and the sky lights on the top floor. Also, in a unique reuse of a structure, the carriage house is now used as a covered playground for the children!"

Coast Guard members conducted a pyrotechnics training and demonstration with local agencies including Monterio Fire Department and Bodega Bay Fire Department, at the mouth of the Russian River in Jenner, Calif., Friday, December 13, 2013. The pyrotechnics training educated the public as how to properly identify a flare. Coast Guard members and the local agencies routinely receive reports of flare sightings as a result of misidentification. Coast Guard photo by Senior Chief Petty Officer Aaron Bretz
This is a photograph from a large set of photographs from the SSE Airtricity Dublin Half Marathon 2015 which was held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland on Saturday September 19th 2015 at 10:00. This half marathon is the final race in the SSE Airtricity Dublin Race Series which sees four races organised over the summer months in preparation for the Dublin City Marathon in October. This half marathon is one of the largest mass participation sporting events in Ireland and is by far the largest individual half marathon race in Ireland. Almost 7,000 participants took part in the race today which is ran almost entirely in the Phoenix Park. To help with congestion on the race course the race starts in three separate waves which allows faster runners start first. The weather was cool and dry with just a little breeze. Overall the weather was very suitable for road racing and running. The next challenge or race for those taking part today is the Dublin City Marathon at the end of October 2015.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
After being properly instructed to make matcha in Japan (thank you, Obubu Tea Farm!), these are my first attempts to make it at home. I brought back some nice matcha, and the chawans that have been patiently tolerating various teas and even non-tea foods are proving very effective & attractive for their intended use.
The boys were very curious about the buckwheat flowers from the garden, arranged in a Shawn McGuire vase.
The mix of dried and fresh blossoms on these branches, from three species of buckwheat still in bloom, is very typical of fall in the desert.
Planning your travel properly can save you money and can make your vacation free of stress. Here are some of the best practices for planning your trip abroad.
Activities and attraction destinations
Where do you want to go? What places do you want to visit abroad? Activities you like?
List the things you want to ‘see’ and ‘do’ on your vacation. This may seem the easiest step of all but it is important to make sure to be clear on this one so you could plan your expenses well.
Accommodation
There are so many factors to consider in choosing a place to stay. Do a lot of research, read reliable reviews and make sure to choose a hotel that will not only fit your budget but isn’t a total dive.
Cost-effective and time-efficient transit
If you plan on renting a car or hiring a chauffeured service upon arrival, it is best to plan those details in advance. Choose the most cost-effective and time-efficient way to piece all the places in your itinerary together. Renting a car can give you a lot of stress especially on the paper works and can take up so much time, thus it is best to hire a chauffeur service to efficiently maximize your time having fun and minimize time in transit.
You can trust Tokyo MK Taxi as you preferred chauffeur service across Japan, Korea and the United States. If you wish to travel with comfort and style, Tokyo MK Taxi features Lexus group enthusiasts’ luxurious sedans like Lexus LS600hL and Lexus LS460, a wonderful ride for your ideal trip.
Start packing and prepare your travel documentation
Start packing early and pack lightly. Take only the essentials and leave items you absolutely won’t need. Moreover, make sure you have all the necessary documentation to travel. Don't leave things for the last minute preparation. Or else, you could find your travel plans blocked because you didn't plan in advance.
Stay safe and enjoy!
If you plan your trip with care and detail then you are more likely to have a truly wonderful vacation so enjoy and live in the moment!

Greasy plates that had not been washed properly by previous users.
In July 2016, my wife and I booked the holiday rental property, Casa Armando in Sarnico, Italy for a weeks holiday.
On arrival we found numerous issues with the property which are detailed in this group of photos. The list of health and safety issues is long and we felt unsafe using the two refrigerators to store food. As this is a self catering rental we felt unable to continue staying there and left after one night.
The list of faults included damaged and faulty refrigerators, loose wall power sockets, stained toilet bowl, filthy sponges and brushes in the kitchen and bathroom, stained cutting board in the kitchen, rusty kitchen equipment, rusty refrigerator, poor condition poolside loungers, rusty clothes dryer, tea towels smelling of stale cooking oil, milk spilt in the refrigerator left to go sour and cause it to smell.

This week’s theme is “A Few of my Favourites” (over the last few months)
I’ll start with Rosie. I met her at Kistilano beach, she is very attached to her frisbee and all the while keeping an eye on her "Dad"!! I love the expression on her face! =o)
I’d like to say a special thank you to my friend C-L-K for writing my first testimonial!
Christina is exceptional at catching magical moments with children and pretty much anything else she chooses to photograph!
She is an amazing photographer and a great Flickr friend! :)
How to properly Park the Toyota Prius at the airport for picking up a passenger
Not the sharpest tool in the shed
To properly mourn the death of His Excellency President Michael Sata I went to Livingstone. While the month after his death was considered a period of national mourning, no fun events were allowed to be held (football matches), the Tuesday of his burial was a national holiday. With pupils beginning examinations school wasn't going full steam so I left a maths assignment for my pupils to do in my absence on the preceding Monday (one issue of poor mathematics is pupils lack of practice, you can give homework but commonly less than a third will even attempt it). So not feeling bad knowing the pupils would get better at mathematics in my absence I packed my bags and was in Livingstone with my colleague, Stacey, by dusk on Friday.
Livingstone is a proper place to mourn because you can experience the pleasures life afford while nearly loosing them. Thus after hanging off the edge of Victoria falls for the second time* we went rafting. Looking back on this picture I was thinking "I've never had the desire to hang off any of the numerous waterfalls I've seen, why on earth would I think it'd be a good idea to hang off the biggest one" I never came up with an answer and who knows maybe next time I see a waterfall I'll want to hang off its precipice too. Rafting this time around was still intense but fill with less drowning sensations. With the lower water level some of the treacherous rapids of my first journey had mellowed out; however, others had grown. This was the case of rapid 18, Oblivion, which overturned our raft send its human contents, myself included, flying out. I popped out next to our guide and we bobbed along the rest of the rapid laughing observing the yellow blips of our raftmates helmets cresting and ebbing into the roaring waves.
While planing to return from mourning on Tuesday the national holiday we found ourselves stranded. While no one in the southern providence seemed to distraught over the death the Zambian culture of respecting the burial seemed to prevail and no buses were running. I didn't complain because there are worse places in Zambia to be stranded, places were you can't go get pizza for dinner.
* if you look at my first picture hanging over the falls, taken in the same location, you will notice how much the water level dropped. The rains were just beginning resulting in this being the near the lowest flow of the season.
PlantFiles: Green Milkweed
Asclepias viridis
Milkweed pods are a delicious, no-cost wild edible if prepared properly. Common milkweed is widespread and often grows in large patches. The pods are easy to harvest. As a cooked vegetable, they have their own delicious and unique flavor. Here's how to cook them.
hings You’ll Need:
* Field guide or knowledgeable friend
* Collecting bag or basket
* Stove
* Two cooking pots
* Water
* Butter, salt, pepper (optional)
Step1
Find a patch of milkweed. Check with a friend or field guide to make sure you have the right plant. Any broken part will exude a thick, milky sap. The green paisley-shaped pods form in midsummer, and you want to get them when they're quite small.
Step2
IMPORTANT: Pick only pods that are one inch in length or smaller. Larger ones will cause significant stomach upset.
Step3
Boil water in a large pot and keep it boiling on the stove.
Step4
Put the pods in a second pot and pour in enough boiling water to cover them. Cook over medium heat for two minutes.
Step5
Pour off the water from the pods and add fresh boiling water from the first pot. Cook two more minutes.
Step6
Repeat Step 5, but this time cook for ten minutes.
Step7
Pour off the water and serve the pods, perhaps with butter, salt and pepper
"Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew – also known as Saint Peter's Cathedral in the United Kingdom – is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Peterborough, dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the famous West Front. Although it was founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. With Durham and Ely cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration.
Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.
Peterborough is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 202,110 in 2017. Historically part of Northamptonshire, it is 76 miles (122 km) north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea 30 miles (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. The city is also 70 miles (110 km) east of Birmingham, 38 miles (61 km) east of Leicester, 81 miles (130 km) south of Kingston upon Hull and 65 miles (105 km) west of Norwich.
The local topography is flat, and in some places the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral.
The population grew rapidly after the railways arrived in the 19th century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly known for its brick manufacture. After the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s. Housing and population are expanding and a £1 billion regeneration of the city centre and immediately surrounding area is under way. Industrial employment has fallen since then, a significant proportion of new jobs being in financial services and distribution." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
Branca, more properly Fernet-Branca, is an Italian maker of amaro, a bitter herbal liqueur. They apparently also make bikes, or at least contract out to have bicycles with the Fernet-Branca logo as a head badge.
Photo is blur and not properly set. A bulky old man tapped my shoulder and asking for some kuai. He was with this group having this monkey mimic their acts. I thought at the first 1/100 second that I looked at him that he was a gorilla. His hands that tapped my shoulder felt like a softened trunk of a tree. I really felt the load of it. Scary it was!
Whenever I walk into MAC to gaze at all the makeup, I always feel more than a little out of my league when I speak to the makeup artist. Not because of their flawless skin or their eyeliner. But because of no matter how hard I try, I can never make my eye shadow look as perfect as theirs. So I...
Old Spitalfields Market's Square Pie began 'properly' (to quote the website) in 2011, when recently unemployed cofounder Martin Dewey found himself inspired to create a place to get 'quality pies' round here. Considering the UK is supposedly known for pie and mash (amongst other things) I can't help but feel that the country was letting him down back then. Anyway, well over a decade later (and after some rough times, including the remortgaging Martin's flat) Square Pie is doing very well indeed. We were invited down into the Square Pie mothership (OK, it's just a shop but mothership sounds better) on Old Spitalfields Market for their latest pie/global sports tie in: the 'Pie World Cup'.
So yeah, this was the launch of their new range of 'pies for trys' (lol). They've teamed up with ex England captain and all round sports hero, Lawrence Dallaglio, and his charity - the Dallaglio Foundation - where Square Pie are 'official food partner' for the next few years. What this entails, really, is a limited range of pies with unusual ingredients: including Kangaroo Pie (for Australia) and Moose Pie (for Canada), Springbok (South Africa) and Pastel De Carne (Uruguay). Representing England is nothing other than the classic Steak and Ale, with 10p from every sale of said steak and ale going to the Dallaglio Foundation - which is cool. Lawrence was not around to comment on charitable pies but I was distracted by a new variety of cider so this is OK.
A little more about their history, Square Pie, who describe themselves as a 'gourmet pie company', started trading on a small stall in Spitalfields market (supposedly selling a grand total of seven pies on their first day of trading..) which eventually led to the likes of a stall at Glastonbury and now to outlets all over London - including Canary Wharf, Heathrow Terminal 1 and Selfridge's food hall. They're opening their first 'non-London' outlet at the new Grand Central development in Birmingham later this year, and have produced over 120 pie varieties to date - supplying said pie varieties to the likes of Manchester United, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis.
Asides from pies in many forms (and by 'many forms' I mean usually square), they also produce a range of (mainly sausage-centric) British classics such as bangers and mash, sausage rolls, macaroni cheese, etc. Square Pie also list the kcal/macros for most of their foods onsite, which is pretty ballsy for a supplier of food that will never be accused of being healthy. I'm no fan of pies but they seem like good people so I wish them many further successes!

Properly impressing your tigress is downright thirsty work for Pandu. Bless his heart, I do believe he was just about parched after growling, huffing, chuffing and circling Hana's wagons. Hana, meanwhile, just remained her sweet little coquette self, giving him the proper attention he was vying for.
I want to thank everyone for taking a look at Pandu. I appreciate all of the views!
My name is Rosa, or more properly, Rosa il cane rosso (or Rosa the Red Dog in English) I am an Australian Cattle dog, presently at 5 years of age (using the human years). My job here at Camelot is to keep order amongst the humans, horses, cows, chickens, goats and of course keep a watch over my best friends, the cats. I am also the foster Mom for any orphaned kittens (probably my favorite part of the job). One of my most important functions here is being the official translator of 'The List'. I translate from English to Equine for my Mom, so that the horses here can keep on top of who's got a new home and when they are leaving. I also give pep talks and hold hooves when needed. Of course a big part of my job here is security, and I take it very seriously, especially when it comes to my Mom. Part of security here is also fun, when I get to meet and greet all the people that come here. I especially like Thursdays when Sarah and her Mom come, they are really nice to me all the time. My hobbies include playing with my toy, swimming, playing with my toy, and washing the cats.
The effort to ship smart and package properly is worth the results. This begins by using the right packaging. The shipping boxes should fit properly without excess bulk or space. The shipping cost is determined by the weight and size of the box. Different styles and sizes of boxes can be tested to find the ones that work for the most products.
Clear guidelines make packaging more efficient. A checklist can be created to ensure every employee understands the process and the correct steps to take. This includes placing the correct number of items in the box, choosing the correct sized box and sealing the containers properly prior to shipping.
The warehouse should be well organizing for packing the products. The most frequently sold items should be near the packing area or pre-packed. The storage shelves should be easy to reach. Any products sold together should be side by side in the warehouse. Aisles and shelves should be labeled with large signs to make the items easy to locate. All materials including labels, tape and scissors should be easily accessible in the packaging area. Space can be reserved for items that have already been sold and packed orders waiting for shipping. The packing will be smoother if confusion and clutter are eliminated.
The time prior to Christmas beginning with Black Friday means substantial increases in sales. Every business has busy periods during the year. Packaging materials can be prepared in advance to make order fulfillment faster. Additional employees can be brought in to build the shipping boxes ahead of time, fill them with bubble wrap or packing peanuts and attach the labels. Products expected to achieve high sales can be packed in quantity in advance. The more work accomplished prior to the orders arriving will help ensure the deliveries arrive on time.
It is important to invest in high quality materials for packing including bubble wrap, polystyrene peanuts and foam caps. The additional expense will add up because it will help avoid losses from items becoming broken or damaged. This will also enable the items to be shipped in smaller boxes and reduce the cost of shipping.
Shipping policies should be disclosed to the customers to answer any concerns or questions regarding shipping and delivery. Common questions regarding delivery times, returns and order fulfillment can be answered on the website using a FAQ page. The page can be updated during the busiest months of the year.
Buyers can input the wrong address or an old address on the order form. This means the shipment will either be lost or end up back at the business. It is important to verify the address is correct for any new customer prior to shipping. The few seconds this requires will save money, hassles and frustration in the future. There are also tools available to verify the address of a customer easily and immediately.
It is important to know what it will cost to ship a package prior to actually sending it to the customer. This can be accomplished with a shipping calculator. The destination, weight and dimensions of the package are entered and the tool provides an estimate for the price. Most new and existing business can update their current protocols for shipping. Ensuring the efficiency of these process will save both money and time in the future.
A properly tall version of Gilbear. The Royal Volpone average two metres tall - Gilbear is considered one of the tall ones.
I'm currently engaged in an extremely nerdy project to make Lego models of the Tanith First and Only from Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts series. Yeah, this is gonna end well ;)
