Riverview Parrot - click for more details
As part of Epsom Mental Health week during 8th-12th October we were invited to take part in a "parrot exchange". The parrots were exhibited at St Barnabas' Church, Epsom. The wise words offered by Riverview's parrot came from an African proverb "if you want to go fast - go alone; if you want to go far - go together". The design of our parrot was based on Minecraft and made from paper mache and painted by two boys in year 6 who lived our the wise words by enlisting the help of the rest of the class to enable the project to be completed on time.
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful donation.

Causes of ACNE
Acne can occur anywhere on the body apart from the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The most common areas to be affected are the face, neck, chest, back, scalp, upper arms, and buttocks. Most teen-agers between the ages of 12 and 17 will experience occasional breakouts. This condition is not only associated with teenagers. Acne can continue to affect individuals well into their late twenties and even into their forties. In fact, a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that of 749 adults between the ages of 25 and 58, 54% of women and 40% of men had some form of acne.
TYPES of ACNE
How ACNE Develops
See also Why Acne Develops
Skin is composed of two parts. The upper part is the epidermis and contains skin cells; the lower part is the dermis and contains collagen, which helps to support the epidermis. The cells of the skin continue to divide, grow, and mature. Once these mature cells reach the surface of the skin, they eventually die and are shed. Each of our pores leads to a canal from which hairs grow. In each canal is a gland that produces an oily substance called sebum. The sebum lubricates the hair and protects the surface of the skin. If too much sebum is produced, it may clog up the canal and cause acne. Scientists are not sure why too much sebum is produced, but it may be due to a reaction to testosterone.
PREVENTION and TREATMENT of Acne
PREVENTION OF ACNE FLARE-UPS
Although there is no cure for acne, a number of steps may be taken to help control and prevent flare-ups.
- Eating a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water
- Exercising regularly to help eliminate toxins from the body and improve circulation
- Avoiding oil-based cosmetics which may clog pores
- Washing with mild antibacterial soaps
- Shampooing often, especially oily hair
- Avoiding the use of greasy products such as petroleum jelly, cocoa butter, cold cream, and vitamin E oil
Your health care professional will help you to determine which of these medications is best for you. Most of these treatments take from six to eight weeks to work. At that point, if you are not seeing results, your medication may be switched to another.
The goal in treating acne is to control flare-ups and prevent scars. Years of untreated acne may leave a lifelong imprint on a person’s face and result in a poor self-image.
- Nonprescription – There are a number of topical medications available over the counter in cream, lotion, gel, or liquid forms to treat mild cases of acne. These include products that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. They are not very effective for more serious forms of acne.
- Prescription – Prescription medications for acne usually come in two forms: topical and oral. The following is a partial list of those most commonly prescribed.
- azelaic acid (cream)
- oral retinoids (isotretinoin)
- topical retinoids (adapalene, tazarotene, tretinoin)
- oral contraceptives
The topical medications should be applied all over the affected areas as directed and not just solely on the visible pimples. In some cases, the medications may cause the face to become a little dry, pink, or tight. While this is normal, in the event the skin gets too irritated, the medication should not be stopped, but the frequency of the application should be reduced.

2 Sentenced for Riyadh Taxi Robbery
By Raid Qusti
RIYADH, 18 July 2007 — The Cassation Court in Riyadh has sentenced a Saudi to four years' imprisonment and 1,000 lashes and another to two years' imprisonment and 400 lashes for robbing a taxi driver under threat, the Riyadh police announced yesterday.
The police said it received a call from a foreigner in the capital stating that two locals in Tariq ibn Ziad Street in Al-Salheya district had robbed him. The man told police that while driving his taxi a local signaled to him that he wanted a ride. When the taxi driver pulled aside to stop, the man got into the front seat of the car. Another man immediately opened the back door and got in. He pulled out a knife and held across the taxi-driver's throat, threatening to kill him if he did not give him his wallet. The taxi driver said the second man in the front seat then searched him and forcefully took SR250, all the money he had. The man said that the two then jumped into a car and sped away.
"After the police received the call, one of the police patrol cars in the unit spotted the reported car. Two suspects were in it," said a statement from the Riyadh police department.
The police said the patrol car then gave chase to the reported vehicle. The vehicle hit another car during the pursuit in a foiled attempt to flee.
"The two suspects were arrested as they tried to escape on foot after they got out of the vehicle," the statement added.
The police said they had been charged for robbing and resisting arrest. The charges were then confirmed. Their cases were transferred to a Cassation Court where they were tried and sentenced.
In another case, the Cassation Court in Riyadh sentenced two locals to four years' imprisonment and 500 lashes each for stealing a car and using in another crime.
The police said that it received a call from a local citizen informing them that his car was stolen. It then received another call from a foreign national stating that two suspects in a car had stopped him on the road, forced him out and beat him, and then stole SR800 that he had in his procession.
The suspects then got into the foreigner's car and sped off leaving behind the first vehicle they had stolen. The police said the two suspects were later arrested and they were charged for their crimes.
The Cassation Court in Riyadh then sentenced them according to Shariah law.

The USAFA is seeking unclassified research white papers and proposals that do not contain proprietary information.
If proprietary information is submitted it is the offerors’ responsibility to mark the relevant portions of their proposal as specified in USAFA-BAA-201 5. CAStLE performs
a range of structural integrity research tasks in support of multiple Government, academic and commercial sponsors.
Among these pursuits, CAStLE engages in a wide range of corrosion engineering and material science research efforts, with more emphasis on applied research, and that part of development not related to a specific system or hardware procurement.
Current CAStLE research strengths include:
high temperature materials development; advanced barrier coatings; static strength, static stability design, corrosion modeling, prevention and control; validation testing, analysis and methods development; computational structural and fracture mechanics; failure analysis, flight data acquisition system development, installation, maintenance and data analysis; structural risk analysis, and support of the USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP).
The interaction between corrosion and cracking damage mechanisms and their effect on the structural integrity has been a long-standing interest of CAStLE.
There is Department of Defense (DoD) level interest in material degradation in structures—to include corrosion, cracking and other service-related damage mechanisms.
The DoD level material degradation interest is the subject of this CALL, while also serving a dual public purpose.
This CALL is focused on fundamental research that can lead to the future development of capabilities to prevent and control corrosion and degradation of materials and the structures of systems and facilities.
The ultimate goal of these capabilities is reducing costs, improving availability of systems and increasing the safety of military assets, which serve a dual interest in public structures and facilities.
Projects must be new research efforts.
Proposals for the continuation of existing research projects funded under previous grant or cooperative agreement awards are not desired.
Collaboration among proposing institutions is strongly encouraged.
Specific research areas of interest include the following Corrosion Investment Categories along with their associated problem statements and focus:
Corrosion Investment Categories:
Performance Prediction Problem Statement:
Inability to accurately predict corrosion performance drives maintenance costs and disrupts schedules.
This is complicated by implementation of new materials and processes (e.g.
non-chrome coatings, additively-manufactured components).
Focus is to accurately predict corrosion in DoD systems via validated methods; these predictions and solutions will be mirrored in applicability to the public sector.
Real-Time Condition Assessment Problem Statement:
Methodologies and techniques for assessment of corrosion related systems health are not sufficient to integrate with maintenance and repair strategies, especially based on conditioned and reliability centered approaches.
Focus is to assess corrosion health of systems and infrastructure to integrate with maintenance strategies.
Advanced Materials and Processing Problem Statement:
Materials selection/materials substitution decisions are difficult due to the desire to optimize competing trade factors (cost, availability, safety, performance, etc.); widely-varying and sometimes unanticipated operational environments; and regulations restricting use of hazardous materials and processes.
Focus is to investigate new materials that can handle diverse environments while meeting environmental/health regulations.
Product Support Problem Statement:
DoD’s $20+B/year cost of corrosion is largely seen in product support.
Improved, training, logistics/supply and transition of technology and tools for inventory storage & handling and maintenance are necessary to avoid these high recurring costs.
Focus is to reduce corrosion as a maintenance cost and availability driver.
Those tactics and efforts that are valuable to the DoD will also serve as valuable to industry, as degradation of public systems is increasingly prevalent.

New North Mecklenburg football coach Brad Baker is excited to make his imprint on the Viking program.
Baker, who was named to his first head-coaching job last week after being an assistant for 12 years, hopes to build a family atmosphere at his new school.
"I want to know what's going on in (the players') lives; I want to know that their grandma is sick or that they're not doing well in algebra," said the former Mooresville offensive line coach. "Obviously, wins are important - they have a scoreboard in the stadium for a reason - but telling these kids that you truly care about them is just as important."
Baker, who has spent the last six years with the Blue Devils, said building those relationships can be more important than whether a player can run a route or throw a pass.
"If a kid knows you care about them, they'll work harder for you," the 34-year-old Mooresville resident said. "And that works both ways."
North Meck athletic director Kevin Wilson said he chose Baker to take over for retiring coach Mike Bradley because he came highly recommended - both as a coach and a teacher - and because he embodied characteristics, like stability and flexibility, that school leaders were looking for.
"He projects a level of energy and confidence that I think our student-athletes will embrace," said Wilson.
Baker, who played fullback at Division II Concord (W. Va.), said he knew early on that he wanted to be a coach.
The West Virginia native moved to Rockingham County, north of Greensboro, to start his teaching career after graduation. There, he also began his coaching career.
After two years at McMichael High, he joined the Reidsville High football staff under head coach Jimmy Teague in 2002. During Baker's four years with the Rams, they played in three state championship games, winning two 2AA titles.
"I was lucky to be there during a very successful time period," said Baker. "I got to learn a lot from (Teague) and his whole staff."
Since arriving in Mooresville in 2006, Baker coached under three head coaches and experienced highs and lows with the Blue Devils.
"You learn from each coach," said Baker. "When you're 0-11, you learn humility. You still wear your school's name around with pride. ... It builds a lot of character."
He added that seeing Mooresville coach Hal Capps transform the team into a state title contender should help him as he takes over a Viking program depleted by school realignment and that won only one game this past season.
Baker added that seeing players who were winless a few years back play in the 4A semifinals in the fall is the highlight of his coaching career, so he wants to replicate that kind of success with the Vikings.
"We want to be a championship-caliber program, where year-in and year-out, people will see North Meck on their schedule and know that they're going to have to really prepare for us" he said.
Baker admits that leaving Mooresville for his new job is bittersweet.
"I've invested a lot of my time and effort here," he said. "It's definitely going to be hard to tell these kids and these coaches, which are a close group, goodbye. It was a lot more difficult than I thought, but I'm leaving to do something that I've known I wanted."
Baker, who will teach U.S. History at North Meck starting in April, said he feels like he's ready for the extra work that comes along with being a head coach. He explained that he feels fortunate for having had good role models to teach him along the way.
"Jimmy Teague and Hal Capps are two of the best coaches this state has ever seen," said Baker. "Their records speak for themselves, with multiple state championships, but they're better men than they are football coaches."
Although Baker is only beginning to meet his players, he noticed a lot of resiliency from the team, despite a tough season when they played the Blue Devils in the fall.
"I think we can build on that," said Baker.
As he starts making his first decisions as head coach, including figuring out his coaching staff, Baker, borrowing from Capps, is already looking ahead.
"I'll measure success in 10-15 years from now, when those kids come back and tell me, "Here's my wife, here are my kids, here's the great job that I have,' " said Baker. "That's when I'll know if I've really been successful."

CHARLIE HEBDO NEW ISSUE
On sale now: The new edition of Charlie Hebdo hits newsstands today. It’s the first one since last week’s terror attack on the satirical magazine’s headquarters in Paris. Up to three million copies have been printed. It’s a far cry from the typical run of 60,000. Still, you may have a hard time finding a copy in the U.S. It’s not typically carried on American newsstands. If you just have to have it, you can order a year’s subscription on Amazon. Barnes and Noble says it has no plans to stock it. Seventeen people died in last week’s violence, including 12 at the Charlie Hebdo offices.
Congressional challenge: A sizable group of House Republicans are looking to butt heads with the Obama administration over the President’s immigration overhaul. Conservatives are pushing an all-or-nothing funding measure that ties money for the Department of Homeland Security to the rollback of last year’s immigration reform executive order. Not only are Democrats standing in the way, but moderate members of the GOP are too. Messing with funds for homeland security may not play well just a week after the Paris terror attacks.
NORTH KOREA SONY HACK
Show us the proof: North Korea is sticking to its story that it had nothing to do with the massive computer hack at Sony, and wants the U.S. to present the evidence. The U.S. government believes Pyongyang was behind the hacking of Sony Pictures over that company’s production of “The Interview,” a comedy depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. North Korea has vehemently denied responsibility. But at the same time, it has blamed the U.S. government for being behind the making of the film and warned that America’s “citadels” will be attacked, dwarfing the Sony hack.

"Great series but BE CAREFUL!...There are two discs in the set and BOTH times I purchased this set from a retailer, both disks were of the same episodes. Instead of Disc 2 being of episodes 8 through 13, they were again of episodes 1 through 7 (even though on the disc it said it was disc two with episodes 8-13). I was very disappointed. Like I said, I bought it twice from the same retailer and both had to be returned due to this defect. From what I saw of the first disc, I loved it! I just want a complete version!!"

This week I have found myself feeling like the Smash robots observing the more bizarre aspects of human behaviour. The Ice Bucket Challenge has reportedly now raised over £48M. Whilst this is undoubtedly a partial testament to human generosity it is also a testament to a herd-like mentality that lacks either a political or economic analysis of how charity works in a capitalist society. For example, how many of the people taking the IBC would make the effort to campaign to save the NHS or oppose benefit sanctions – both of which would have a greater positive impact on more people than tipping a bucket of water over your head. How many of those taking the challenge in the US will actively oppose the concept of universal healthcare. How many even know, globally speaking, what a rare privilege and luxury it is to be able to waste bucketloads of water by tipping it over your head while the majority of the world don’t have a clean water supply – and increasingly this applies to people in the so-called developed world too – where the CEO of Nestle can quite brazenly declare that he doesn’t consider access to drinking water to be a basic human right and water companies can actually seek to prevent people from even collecting rain-water! Meanwhile other companies are lined up to make a profit from the privatisation of the NHS and are pressing for governments to sign up to the TTIP agreement which effectively makes such acts irreversible. Campaigning against any of these things would benefit more people than the IBC – and indeed would actually benefit the same people more than tipping an ice bucket over your head.
But to even question the IBC immediately invites accusations of being uncharitable, of not caring for your fellow humans or (most tellingly of all) being a spoil-sport. The public pressure put on people nominated is tantamount to a challenge to them to dare not to give. It is the same mob-morality that sees people bullied for not wearing a poppy or questioning a war rather than “supporting the troops” (two concepts that I have always seen as complimentary rather than in opposition in any case). If charity is about anything it should be about the willing choice to give up time or money to help others. Bullying people into giving isn’t charity. It is just bullying – and a sad reflection on the state of charity in the 21st Century. Where fundraising has been professionalised, making it just another arm of the marketing industry.
Maybe you could argue, as many participants and the charities themselves do, that this is all worth it if it raises awareness or raises funds and in so doing helps to ease the suffering – but it doesn’t. The evidence for that is all around. Awareness does not solve anything – only action changes things. Awareness might be a first step towards action – but if it is seen as an end in itself it is pointless. So awareness raising has to be a step towards change. Fundraising is similarly pointless if it does not lead to action – and there are many charities where it does not lead to much, if any. Of course it is legitimate for charities to employ people to carry out work that cannot be done by volunteers. But is it legitimate for them to employ senior managers on six-figure salaries while utilising low paid and unpaid workers, both volunteers and workfare slave labour? Once again some might respond with the argument that if it generates greater funds and awareness then it is all justified. Even if it did this would be a flawed argument as it is a form of cannibal charity that exploits its workers and forces them to rely on handouts from elsewhere to survive. In its very structure it sees some people as having more worth than others. In adopting such notions does this improve the position of the people the charity is supposedly working on behalf of or legitimise the thinking that saw them needing to call on charity in he first place?
Faced with all this people might still argue that we are living in a capitalist society and cannot change everything once so raising money for charity is still legitimate if it improves the condition of those in need, despite all the flaws listed above. But it doesn’t. All too often charity does not raise money for those in need but instead raises money for those who exploit those in need. This might be uncomfortable but it is true – and sticking your head in a bucket doesn’t change that.

Poor cell phone signal especially at home can be a problem given that the phone connects you to the entire world. Moreover, home is one place where one spends the maximum time on phone after work. Therefore, a poor phone signal reception at home can affect one’s personal as well as professional life. So, how to solve cell phone signal problem in home? We offer a mobile signal booster as the best solution to this problem. It is easily available, affordable and enhances the cell phone reception drastically.
Cell phone signal boosters are made to intensify the phone signal outside your home whose quality deteriorates due to certain building materials (wood, concrete, plaster, etc.) or geographical hindrances like mountains. A mobile signal booster is wireless, which means that the user does not have to attach or plug the cell phone to some tether.
It is a simple to use and install gadget, which is available at an affordable price helping you resolve the issue of how to solve cell phone signal problem in home.
How Mobile Signal Booster Works
To learn how mobile signal booster works, take into account what components the equipment has. A mobile signal booster comes along with an antenna which carries the signal received from outside, inside the home via a cable to the base unit/receiver. Concisely, they capture the outside signal and expand the cell phone signal zone by enhancing it.
A cell booster is easy to install and the carrier is not specially required to set up the amplifier. It comes with easy to follow instructions and there is no need to install a program for the same. An outside antenna is to be simply placed outside for receiving signal, attached with a cable connected to the base unit and simply plugging it in for cell phone signal with an increased cell phone signal zone. Knowing the principle of how mobile signal booster works you will have no problems with assembling and installation of the equipment.
Range and Coverage Area
A mobile signal repeater comes in various designs and each solves a different purpose in accordance with the range and the area to be covered by a cell phone booster. Each mobile signal amplifier has a different frequency according to the requirement of the user. For example, for 3G Internet connection you need a mobile signal booster of 2100 Mhz and for improving cellular communication choose GSM mobile signal booster.
Therefore, the main thing to be considered before buying mobile signal amplifier is to determine the requirement of the area to be covered by the cellular booster. It is best to place the antenna where there are 2-3 bars of signal like on the roof for optimum signal quality inside the house.
Benefits of Mobile Signal Booster
- Increases the signal strength of the cell phone resulting better reception and better usage of your mobile phone
- You can choose a mobile signal repeater in accordance with the range of area to be covered for enhanced signal coverage
- Eliminates the possibility of distortion in calls due to poor reception. Increased signal ensures voice clarity and removal of obstructions like faded or blurred audio data.
- They are cost-efficient. The costs involved in the need of making multiple calls due to cracked audio data are eliminated saving time, effort and money of the user.
Now when you know how to solve cell phone signal problem in home using a GSM amplifier, you will never suffer from bad cell phone connection.

Pro Surfer Kelly Slater Launches Clothing Line Made From Ocean Trash
Kelly Slater's new clothing line is tackling two pressing environmental issues at the same time: textile waste and ocean plastic. Outerknown, the 11-time world surfing champion's sustainable menswear label, includes a line of 100 percent recyclable clothing made from reclaimed fishing nets.
— GQ Fashion (@GQFashion) July 15, 2015
“I created Outerknown to smash the formula," Slater, who parted ways with longtime sponsor Quiksilver to launch his own brand, said on the company's website. "To lift the lid on the traditional supply chain, and prove that you can actually produce great looking menswear in a sustainable way.”
These clothes can be upcycled over and over into new clothing. "There's an infinite number of times the nylon can be broken down and re-born into new yarn without any loss of quality," Outerknown noted on its website.
According to the Marine Mammal Center, abandoned fishing nets, also known as "ghost nets," account for approximately 10 percent of all marine debris. Shockingly, as Reuters reported, about 640,000 tonnes of discarded fishing gear gets added to the oceans yearly.
Not only that, these nets are a major plague on marine life. More than 100,000 marine mammals—fish, dolphins, sea lions, seals as well as birds—die every year from the harmful effects of plastic, fishing nets and trash in our oceans, the Marine Mammal Center also pointed out.
"You have problems like not only oil spills and that kind of stuff but also the constant outpouring of plastics," Slater told CNN. "Single-use plastics all through the ocean, degrading, turning into little bits that are all eaten by the sea life, and they're dying because their stomachs are full of stuff."
The entire Outerknown collection has a classic yet beachy vibe and was praised by men's style Bible GQ as a "cool-ass new surf line." With organic cotton blazers for $495 and T-shirts around $90, Outerknown clothing won't fit everyone's budget.
However, there's a reason why fast-fashion from retail giants such as H&M and Forever21 is so cheap, as EcoWatch has previously reported. A truly sustainable clothing line costs a lot of money to bring from the factory to the rack, which explains Outerknown's price tags.
"Clothing is a really icky business, but it’s a whole system," Slater told Surfer Magazine. "You’ve got retailers bitching about prices but they’re also bitching about production and the way things are made. Those two things are completely tied together. If you’re going to use good materials and take care of people working in your factories, the clothing will be exponentially more expensive to produce."
Outerknown has partnered with the Fair Labor Association, which is the best standard for protecting workers throughout the supply chain. Additionally, the clothing company also partnered with Bluesign, a sustainable textile auditing company that seeks to eliminate harmful substances from the beginning of the manufacturing process.
"I believe we have an obligation to build better products and understand the way our consumption impacts the world around us," Slater also wrote on Instagram. "In saying that, the focus of our brand is to make a product that has a positive effect on every possible level."

Only a month after dropping its bid for U.S. independent power producer NRG Energy, Mirant Corp. announced a new strategic plan Tuesday to buy back shares and sell its international operations, including 2,203 MW of power generation in the Philippines and 1,050 MW of generation and several utility businesses in the Caribbean. The company will launch a $1.25 billion modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer on Wednesday for up to 43 million shares of common stock. After the plan is executed, Mirant will retain about 14,161 MW of U.S. power generation.
Mirant’s shareholders will be given the opportunity, subject to certain conditions, to sell all or a portion of their Mirant shares to the company at a price not less than $25.75 and not more than $29/share. The tender offer will be funded through a combination of cash on hand and cash distributed to Mirant upon completion of a term loan to be entered into by Mirant’s Philippines business.
Mirant plans to sell its international asset through an auction processes. It has ownership interests in three generating facilities in the Philippines: Sual, Pagbilao and Ilijan. The Philippines business contributed $370 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in 2005. As part of the plan, Mirant will recapitalize the business with a $700 million term loan from Credit Suisse, which will free up cash for the share repurchase. The term loan will be prepayable at par.
Mirant’s net ownership interest in the Caribbean businesses includes two vertically integrated utilities: an 80% interest in Jamaica Public Service Co. and a 55% interest in Grand Bahama Power Co. Mirant also owns a 39% interest in the Power Generation Co. of Trinidad and Tobago and a 25.5% interest in Curacao Utilities Co. In 2005, the Caribbean businesses contributed $156 million in adjusted EBITDA. The international asset sales are expected to close by mid-2007.
“Our strategic plan reflects our continued commitment to enhance shareholder value, both through the return of cash to our shareholders and through our continuing U.S. business,” said CEO Edward R. Muller.
Mirant estimates that available cash and cash from the recapitalization of the Philippine assets, less restricted cash, will total $1.261 billion.
The new strategic plan comes only a month after Mirant dropped its $7.8 billion hostile takeover bid for NRG Energy. The deal was canceled following opposition from NRG and from a major shareholder, hedge fund Pirate Capital LLC (see Power Market Today, June 13).
“We do not believe that entering into a hostile bidding war for NRG is in the best interest of Mirant shareholders,” wrote Thomas Hudson Jr., Pirate Capital’s manager in a letter to Muller that was also sent to the company’s board of directors and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “While we believe that consolidation in the power sector is necessary, we question whether Mirant should be a consolidator.”
Funds managed by Pirate Capital collectively hold almost five million shares of Mirant stock, or 1.6% of the company, the firm’s SEC filing indicated.
Noting Mirant’s strong first quarter 2006 financial results ($467 million net income versus $11 million for the same period in 2005), Hudson said his investors believe “shareholders would be substantially rewarded if Mirant put itself up for sale.” He went on to “strongly urge” Mirant to retain a financial advisor to begin a process of selling itself, and Pirate Capital requested a meeting with the company’s board to discuss the matter further. This latest strategic plan appears to be designed to appease shareholders and put the company in position to grow its U.S. power business.

There are several delicious popular morning tacos filled with Chicharron Prensado Casero in Mexico City, filled with pressed pork chunks. Since this type of “chicharrone” is not easy to find outside of Mexico, this is my shortcut to making it at home. If you know carnitas (fried pork) or have made it yourself, you will love this delicious recipe. You will take carnitas to the next level!
Pork Carnitas In Guajillo Tacos Sauce (Chicharron Prensado Casero)
“Admission sponsored by Mirum Shopper. All opinions are mine.” #SaboreaTuVerano
To make my pressed pork, I cook the pork the same way I make carnitas, but add some pork skins to it. When cooked, I keep the pieces of meat in a vacuum bag, making sure that the meat is as compact as possible. Put it in the refrigerator for a few days and it is ready for cooking. But you don’t have to go through all that process to make these tacos just cut the “Carnitas” in little pieces to cook with the salsa, and you’ll be good.
How to prepare the Chicharron Prensado Casero recipe
GO TO FULL INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut the dried peppers with kitchen scissors and remove the seeds and lines. Place it in a medium-sized bowl and pour three cups of hot water over it. To keep them submerged, place a plate on top. Soak for 30 minutes or until soft. (Please check the ingredients list below)
- Drain the softened pepper, onion, garlic and 1 ½ cup of cold water in a blender. Keep stirring until you get a very smooth sauce.
- Pour the sauce into a large pan with the help of a colander. Turn on the heat over medium heat and cook the sauce for about 5 minutes. Add a teaspoon of Knorr beef or chicken broth.
- Add the chopped carnitas and mix. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until the meat is very tender and starts chopping when you stick a fork in it. Taste and season with salt and pepper. By this time, the meat will release it’s fat and it will float on the surface. So far, the sauce will also decrease. Lightly chop the meat in the pan with a fork. It serves on warm corn tortillas, good salsa and a few marinated carrots.
How to make meat at home – Carnitas hechas en casa
1 4 – 5 pounds Lean pork fillet, baked, boneless, no excess fat 1 cup green salsa 1 large onion, chopped 4 cloves Garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning 2 teaspoons pepper
Place the pork roast in a 9 x 14 pan. Rub the garlic into the roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with green sauce and onion. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil. Bake at 300 degrees for four and a half hours or until tender with a fork. Remove the roast from the oven. Cool until comfortable to the touch. Remove from the pan and place on a cutting board. Collect the fat from the juices in the pan. Using two forks, mince the pork. Eliminate the fat from the meat. When all the meat is minced, put it back in the pan and mix the sauces from the pan well with the pork. Return to the oven. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes or until the pork is crispy on the surface. Remove from the oven. Turn on the pork. Return to the oven and cook for another 20 minutes, until the pork is crispy on the surface and there is almost no liquid left in the pan. It serves as suggested above.

This Mexican Carnitas Pork Recipe comes with instructions for both the Instant Cooker and Slow Cooker. Pulled pork is tender, juicy and aromatic. It is absolutely delicious and you can use it to make a lot more than just tacos!
One of my favorite Mexican dishes is carnitas tacos. I love the Tacos Tuesdays! Since Cinco de Mayo is coming soon, I need to share my recipe for carnitas with you. I’ve been doing this for years in a slow cooker and have now switched to Instant Pot. Both cooking methods produce amazing carnitas. I’ll also show you two ways to munch on tips to keep them authentic.
Carnitas literally means “small meats,” which is why this Mexican pork is shredded or shredded. It’s Mexican pulled pork. This recipe is enough to give most families at least a few meals a day, saving time and money. You can use it to make tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, bowls of burrito, and more. I made the carnitas tacos, sprinkled them with my Chipotle corn sauce and they were delightful …
On the other half of the carnitas I made the Pork Enchilada with homemade Enchilada sauce… very delicious!

Don’t overcook it. Repeat with the second portion of pork. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the juices kept aside. Optional: garnish with fresh cilantro.

Carnitas Tacos (Pulled Pork Tacos) are the BEST ever! Mexican slow pork is incredibly tender and aromatic. Add a tablespoon of guacamole to your tortilla (or wrapped lettuce!), Top with a large pile of pulled pork and toss it into the tacos de carnitas!
Tacos Carnitas are made from slow cooked pork that is stuffed. And (not bragging) but I think I have the best carnitas recipe ever. Pulled pork is incredibly tender with magical crunchy pieces full of flavor. It is irresistible.
And because the meat is so tasty, these carnitas tacos need little else to complement a meal. I like them best with guacamole, some ground red onion, and (sometimes) a serving of sour cream. But the options for adding pork tacos are nearly endless. And I have some ideas to share with you.
Why do you want to make carnitas tacos today?
- With a stack of these babies in front of you, you’ll keep smiling throughout dinner.
- They are so easy to do. After removing the pork from the slow cooker, chop it with 2 forks, sprinkle the meat under the grill and then add it to the reduced cooking juices. Now put the pulled pork on top of the tortillas and kick!
- You can celebrate every Taco Tuesday like Cinco de Mayo.
- Recipe na carnitas jest zdrowy, bez cukru i nzdrowych składników. Use corn tortillas for gluten-free carnitas and paleo tortillas for paleo carnitas tacos.
- If you’re making a Whole30 or like to eat low-carb, use lettuce wraps and that’s it. This is what I usually choose to do.
- This carnitas tacos recipe is the BEST. ← absolutely to scream in capital letters. I’ve tried many different carnitas recipes, and I’ve tried the recipe so many times that I can’t count. This is my absolute favorite. Will you promise me you’ll make it?
How to make pork tacos
If you can press the power button on the slow cooker, you can make these tacos. Here is your game plan:
- Rub some spices on your pork roast and put it in your crockpot with some Orange juice, lime juice, garlic, and bay leaves. Set the timer for as long as you have. 4 hours high minimum or up to 10 hours low. Now go get some margaritas.
- When you return to the kitchen, remove the pork from the pot and chop it with 2 forks. Now put it under the grill in the oven to keep it nice and crunchy.
- Quickly boil the cooking liquid until it begins to thicken. Now pour it over the crispy carnitas. Go ahead and taste your masterpiece. Just try not to eat the whole batch before making the tacos.
- Now all you have to do is collect your tacos. Place some guacas on a warm tortilla, garnish with carnitas, then sprinkle some red onion on top. And if you’re like me, you’ll also find a place for sour cream.
How To Make Paleo Pulled Pork Tacos + Gluten Free
Luckily for us, these carnitas tacos are very easy to make for everyone at the table. Recipe na carnitas jest zarówno bezglutenowy, jak i paleo, więc n musisz nic zmieniać w najlepszej części tych tacos.
To make gluten-free carnitas tacos: All you need to do is make sure you are using gluten-free tortillas. Corn tortillas are the best option. Just be sure to check the labels for sneaky gluten.
To make paleo carnitas tacos: You’ll need to make your own paleo tortillas or turn those carnitas tacos into carnitas lettuce wraps. These mushroom breakfast tacos are made with egg and flax seed tortillas that would make delicious stuffed carnitas.
What to serve with tacos de carnitas
This recipe is so good that I think it’s best to keep it simple. A batch of my Easy Guacamole Recipe and a Fizzy Lime Margarita and you’ll be set.

I have never been impressed with any of the Carnitas recipes that I have tried online or in books …UNTIL NOW! This Carnitas Recipe method by Diana Kennedy, requiring only pork, water, and salt, is the simplest and most delicious carnitas recipe I’ve ever had.
These carnitines arenmade in a slow cooker,which is a good thing.
I love my slow cooker as much as any other person, but many of the carnitas recipes on the internet are slow cookers whose results are far from the really crunchy pieces of tender pork usually found in Mexican restaurants and tacos. .
But this method? It will give you great carnitas at home.
What is Carnitas?
It’s basically crispy, savory chunks of tender pork. Szczególn dobrze nadają się do napełniania taco i burrito.
This particular Carnitas Recipe is from Diana Kennedy, a long time Mexican cooking authority (she’s 94 years old)!
I’ve only discovered her work recently after coming across this recipe in the Genius Recipes cookbook, and I’m excited to look at some of her own cookbooks because so far I’m pretty enamored with her, hah!
You may have niced that a lot of carnitas recipes call for Orange juice, lime juice, oregano, and so on.
But here we only need pork, salt and water which is tradition.
How to make carnitas:
Start by slicing the pork strips and placing them in a high pan:
Add enough water to cover the pork:
Season the water with plenty of salt:
Cook the pork for about an hour and a half, until the water is finally cooked.
Uważaj, ponważ będzie wyglądać, jakby było więcej wody niż w rzeczywistości, ponważ na patelni zostan spora ilość wytopionego tłuszczu.
W końcu, gdy cała woda znikn, a wytopiony tłuszcz (lub smalec) zostan, kawałki wieprzowiny zrumienią się i będą chrupiące we własnym wytopionym tłuszczu:
Zaleca się, aby n szatkować carnitas, ale pozostawić je w postaci kawałków.
Wrzucam te carnitas do tego przepisu na śniadan burrito, smażę zieloną fasolkę z wytopionym tłuszczem i wiórkami wieprzowymi, robię huevos rancheros z mięsem i tak dalej. There are so many ways to use it up, and you may even just want to eat it by itself, it’s so good!
What to serve with Carnitas:
- Can carnita be frozen? Tak, mięso piękn zamarzn! Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Can Carnitas be made with boneless pork loin, pork chops, or anher cut? Not really. Potrzebujesz łopatki wieprzowej (aka bostońskiej), ponważ zawiera tłuszcz, który będzie się rozkładał i ostateczn smażył kawałki wieprzowiny. Pork loin and pork ribs are quite lean.
- How long will carnitas last?Refrigerate for 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
- How to serve the carnitas:Carnitas are great as proteins in recipes like tacos, burritos, rice bowls, etc.

Podobn jak wiele meksykańskich klasyków, carnitas – wolno gotowana wieprzowina, często porównywana do amerykańskiej wieprzowiny szarpanej – jest mnj znana w Wielkiej Brytanii, niż na to zasługuugu. Smażona we własnym tłuszczu na chrupiącą i złocistą carnitas z pewnością n jest zdrową żywnością, ale jako okazjonalny przysmak z dużą porcją świeżej salsmagy i zawinięty wywnością tort.
The traditional cut is the Pork Shoulder, known in the USA as Barrel Pork in which it was once packaged. I think it makes a big difference) but the amount below is for a boneless shoulder, so keep that in mind when ordering.
to cook3 hours
Pork 1,5 kg(see point 1)
1.5 teaspoons of fine salt
The juice of 1 orange(optional)
1-2 bay leaves(optional)
1 The right cut
Carnitas is a simple dish with very few ingredients, which stands or falls on its pork: it simply won’t work with lean meat. Try stocking up on a well-greased spatula at a farm shop or a good butcher, or get advice from William Leigh of Killa Dilla’s Mexican street restaurant and add 500g of pork belly and 500g of guanciale to 1kg of pork shoulder.
2 Przygotowanthe meat
Cut the meat into chunks about 5cm all round – you don’t need to get the ruler out, but if you cut them too small, they’ll break down into mush; too large, and they’ll take ages to cook. Leave the skin on: it adds a deliciously gelatinous richness to the final dish, even if you don’t ultimately want to eat it (more fool you).
Put pork cubes (skin left on) in a large, heavy pan in a single layer, then add salt, Orange juice and a bay leaf or two .
3 Put the meat in the pan
Arrange the chunks in a wide, heavy-based pan big enough to hold them in one layer, and preferably a n-too-crowded one. Add enough salt and cold water to cover the meat. You can leave it at that, and many recipes do, but I also favour Orange juice for sweetness, and the savoury flavour of bay.
4 Customize to your liking
Other things cooks add at this point: a cinnamon stick, two or three cloves, a good pinch of cumin, a splash of lager, full-sugar cola, onion wedges, a few smashed garlic cloves, coriander stalks, split jalapeño peppers, a dash of dried oregano – all of which are no doubt delicious, but I don’t think the dish needs them. Trust me: pork is delicious on its own.
5 Długie gotowan
Bring the pan to a boil, then turn down the heat and leave it to simmer gently, until the pork is tender but n falling apart, and the water has all but evaporated: turn the chunks occasionally during this time, so they cook evenly. How long it takes depends on your pig, but expect an hour and a half to two and a half hours.
6 Final frying
Increase the heat slightly to encourage any large chunks of fat to render, then, once there’s a generous amount in the pan, turn the heat up to medium-high and fry the meat in its own lard, turning regularly, until golden and crisp in places. Be careful n to break it up too much in the process. Po wytopieniu tłuszczu można go schłodzić, smalec i wszystko, in następn podgrzać na bardzo gorącej patelni)
Dusić na wolnym everyu przez około dwie godziny, od czasu do czasu obracając, następn podkręcić ogień i na konc usmażyć wieprzowinę we własnym tłuszczu.
Salsa is a traditional addition to carnitas. Quello che aggiungi dipende da te, ma per una semplice salsa di pomodoro, trita finemente tre cipolle verdi e due jalapeños verdi snocciolati e mescola con 500 g di pomodori maturi tagliati grossolanamente e lime juice. Add a handful of chopped cilantro and season to taste.
8 It servesć
Podawaj carnitas polane salsą i zawinięte w ciepłe tortille – po prostu smaż je na sucho przez minutę lub dwie z każdej strony na patelni lub delikatn podgrzej w piekarniku.
9 Optional Extras
Strictly speaking, carnitas need nhing else for perfection, but you might like to make a quick salad of finely sliced red cabbage and grated carrot, mixed with plenty of lime juice, salt, and coriander or mint leaves.

Sprout-standing! One of Britain's oldest Brussels sprout farms is blessed with a bumper crop this Christmas after a scorching summer sent yields soaring by 20% compared to last year
- A quarter of a million of the sprouts will be hand-picked at Essington Farm
- Staff at the Staffordshire farm will work all daylight hours during Christmas week
- Richard Simkin, owner of the farm says the demand has been higher than ever
One of the Britain's oldest Brussels sprout farms is looking forward to the festive season as it is blessed with a bumper crop this year, right on time before the Christmas rush.
After a scorching summer Brussels sprout numbers at Essington Farm in Staffordshire, are up 20 per cent compared to previous years.
Richard Simkin, owner of the farm says demand has been higher than ever as shoppers have been opting for independent retailers over supermarkets during the pandemic.
Luckily the perfect growing conditions this year, will allow the family-run business to meet demand.
Richard Simkin, the owner of Essington Farm says demand has been higher than ever
The 69-year-old's family has farmed at the 50 acre site since 1892 and now grows 16,000 stems and 600,000 sprouts a year weighing a whopping 20,000 kilos.
About a quarter of a million of the Brussels sprouts will be hand-picked in Christmas week while farm staff will work all daylight hours cutting the stems off the plants with machetes before selling them direct to customers from the farm shop.
The married grandfather-of-two is just one of a handful of sprout growers in the country and harvests the love-it-or-hate-it vegetable between October and February.
He said: 'Sprouts are one of our iconic crops that people look forward to like our strawberries and pumpkins.
'We're finding people now more than ever want to shop locally these days, for quality and safety.
'People feel safer in farm shops and want to support local businesses through the pandemic.
'When it comes to harvesting time, every stem is done by hand. We use a machete. You knock a few leaves off, turn it upside down and chop the leaves off.
'Everything in farming boils down to the weather if you get a really dry summer you might need to water them or if it's a freezing autumn they are hard to harvest.
'But this year they have grown well. I'd say we're up 20 per cent.
'We've got orders right up to Christmas Eve. People like to have their fresh vegetables as fresh as possible for Christmas.
'Come Christmas week all of the three farm staff will lend a hand.
Staff at the farm will work all daylight hours during Christmas week, cutting the stems off the plants with machetes, before selling them to customers
'They put a tractor and trailer in the field, fill it up, purge it out, and start again. It gets a bit mad. Luckily we've got enough daylight not to work in the dark.
'You wouldn't want to use one of those machetes in the dark. You might lose a finger.
'In terms of farm shops we are bigger than average. What makes us special is the amount of stuff we do ourselves.
'Coronavirus may come and go but we'll always make sure there will be sprouts at Christmas'
Mr Simkin, who runs the farm with wife Mary, son Will and daughter-in-law Penny, plants a range of sprout varieties, which mature at different times to ensure a longer-lasting crop.
He added: 'We start with one called Maximus, which is ready the end of October, and finish with one called Petrus.
'Then we have Levitus and Exodus in between. They're different due to their season of crop, so Maximus matures a bit earlier and Exodus is ready in December.
'Most people wouldn't be able to taste the difference - unless they're a sprout connoisseur.'
