I've never been successful stir frying beef and having it come out tender, so I used chuck and cooked like beef stew for 2 hours, then froze it. When I was ready to make this, I defrosted beef, and cooked broccoli and pea pods in microwave. I then cooked peppers and garlic, stir in beef and veggies and added sauce. It tasted great.

two packages Country style Pork Ribs
8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tbsp worcestershire
1 tbsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp splenda
Brown ribs in frying pan, then put in crockpot. Mix bbq sauce ingredients and pour over ribs. Cook on low 10 hours.
I added a little guar gum to the sauce to thicken a little, but it was pretty loose (but tasty). We got four servings of meat, with lots of sauce left over. Carbs are hard to determine since you don't actually consume a lot of the sauce. You can substitute any other bbq sauce. The meat just fell off the bones and was great!

Bachelor Steak
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
Now the second recipe men on this diet might actually be able to make (fire good). Steak when done the right way…
Materials & Supplies:
1. 1 sirloin steak ('nuff said)
2. Some inspired amount of Kikkoman soy sauce.
3. The cheapest red wine available (your returnables should cover it).
4. Actual garlic (You will discover, with some determined research, that it does not actually come from nature in powder form. Ask someone to find it for you — it's worth it.)
5. A garlic-smashing tool (requiring a surgical strike into the kitchen aisle. be aware that they may have a more fancy name for it.)
6. A propane grill (fire good).
1. Five or so hours before dinner, assault both sides the sirloin with a fork with a wide-ranging, rapid-fire motion. We are looking for a tight pattern of 1/2″ deep holes covering the whole target.
2. Smash the garlic onto a paper plate with the garlic-smashing tool. Throw out the paper stuff, keep the mushy stuff that smells like pizza. (You are not a man if you don't taste it and learn the lesson not to.) Slather the mushy stuff onto the top of the sirloin. We are looking for full, thin coverage here. You'll probably only need 1/2 of a whole garlic for this.
3. Put the meat on a plate, garlic side up. Pour equal amounts soy sauce and red wine on it and let it pool up on the top of the oversized meat. Put it in the refrigerator.
4. Halfway to dinner time, scrape the garlic to the side of the plate (a putty knife works fine for this), pour the juices somewhere, flip the steak and re-apply both.
5. At dinnertime, scrape off the garlic, pour the juices down the drain.
6. Turn on the grill on high. Apply the steak.
7. First: Searing. Give it about two minutes per side to sear the steak, sealing in the juices.
8. Second: Turn the heat down (a little) and cook to taste.
Beef Jerky
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
I make jerky in my food dehydrator all the time. Here's my recipe… Find the leanest roast you can at the supermarket, have them trip excess fat and slice it for jerky. They don't charge extra here. You'll still have fat to trim when you get home. It's impossible to get it all so just go for the big chunks.
Put all the trimmed meat into a ziplock bag and add enough soy sauce to coat the meat and liquid smoke to taste (a matter of drops). My mom likes her jerky sweet so she adds some artificial sweetener. I don't like it sweet so I skip this step. Let this marinating meat sit overnight in the fridge.
Lay in single layers in your food dryer and dry on a hot setting. Don't over dry it. You want it a bit chewy. When it's done I blot the excess fat with paper towels. Store this in a sealed container in your refrigerator.
Most soy sauces have some sugar/carbohydrates in them. I think by the time it's all spread out and dried the carbohydrate count is minimal and certainly less the store bought.
Pork Chop Options
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
* I like to dip them in eggwash, and then into seasoned crushed pork rinds and fry or bake them. I add a bit of garlic powder, parsley, paprika and pepper to my porkrinds after crushing them. The porkrinds are salty enough, so I don't add extra salt.
* Another way I love them is simple. Fry them in baconfat, and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
* Or you can cut the meat into strips and stirfry them in oil, and eat with stirfried lowcarb veggies. (mushrooms, broccoli, small amount of onion, peppers and fresh string beans)
* If they are reasonably nice and kinda thick then remove the bone, pound them flat (1/4 inch or so) with a meat hammer or heavy rock, saute them in some oil,(don't flour them first but blot off as much moisture with a paper towel). You can deglaze the pan with a little wine or water, add some cream, and some mushrooms or green peppers or onion or herbs or whatever, reduce to a saucy consistancy and enjoy like veal. This treatment also works well with raw turkey breast and chicken.
* I like to coat them with soy sauce, and then sprinkle heavily with ginger and thyme, and lightly with garlic powder and black pepper. (since I use a very low sodium soy sauce, I also use a little salt). Then broil or bake, and if your carb count will allow it, serve topped with a spoonful or two of applesauce.
* Marinate them in Italian salad dressing – Watch the brands though, some are higher than others in carbohydrates. Sometimes I just grill them and pour the dressing over them. Other dressings are good on them too.
* Chile verde them. It does contain some carbohydrates from veggies however. Not for induction. Cut up the meat into cubes and brown with bacon fat. Remove from pan. Brown some sliced onion in fat in pan. Put meat back in pan. Add some canned tomatoes and a can or two of green chiles – a mild type like Anahiem. Add some chicken broth, but not too much. Add garlic and oregano and cumin to taste. And a bay leaf. And a sprig or two of fresh cilantro if available. And something hot to taste, like a few Serranos or Jalapenos or cayenne or Tabasco sauce. Add more chicken broth if too thick. Slow cook until meat is tender and tasty, perhaps 30 min to an hour. In the olden days I would serve this over rice, but now I eat it plain with some Parmesan cheese shredded over it. Oh my, is it good!
Cotes de Porc a l'Auvergnate

4 thick pork chops
Small head of cabbage
1 cup cream
1/2 cup white wine
Parmesan cheese
Pinch of sage
Salt and pepper
Slice cabbage into 1/2″ slices. Boil in salted water for about 3 min. Drain thoroughly. Add salt and pepper and cream. Cover and simmer for about 10 or 15 min.
Meanwhile, sauté pork chops in butter until they are brown and cooked through. Remove the chops and season them with salt and pepper. Stir white wine into the pan juices and add a pinch of sage. Simmer wine for a couple of minutes, and then stir this juice into the creamed cabbage.
Spread half the cabbage in the bottom of an ovenproof casserole. Add the pork chops, and then cover them with the rest of the cream and cabbage. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese and a little melted butter. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 min. or until top is golden brown.
Dad's Sausage
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
2 lbs. ground pork
½ tsp. ginger
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. coriander
1 tsp. sage
½ tsp. thyme
½ tsp. pepper
1½ tsp. salt (or Morton Lite)
5 – 10 drops hot pepper sauce, to taste
Mix all together, add a little water if necessary. Fry in patties, or loose. Gets more flavourful as it sits.
Lettuce Wraps
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
We took some ground beef, fried it up with onion and seasoned to taste with salt & pepper. Then while still in the skillet add enough salsa or hot sauce to give it some personality.
Take large lettuce leaves and make a taco shape. I found they work and taste better when doubled. Lay in some of the meat mixture, top with some good shredded cheese and enjoy. Yes, the salsa has carbs. Yes, we were inspired by the Chili's commercials. It was a great new experience and I'm sure we'll do it again.
Golumpki Casserole
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
Cabbage rolls w/o the rolls!!
Yield: 5 Servings
2 lb. Ground Round or chuck
1/2 lb. Ground pork or sausage
4 Tbsp. Salt pork
1 large head of cabbage
2 large onions
3 cloves of garlic
12 Mushrooms
3 large ripe tomatoes sliced thin
2 Eggs
6 oz V8 juice or tomato juice
3 strips of bacon
Cut the core out of the cabbage and put in boiling water for 15 minutes. Remove from pot and cool. Put diced salt pork in fry pan and add chopped onions, diced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cook until lightly browned.
In a bowl add beef, pork, eggs, onion mixture and mix well. In a Dutch Oven pan cover the bottom with some of the tomatoes. Remove the leaves from the head of cabbage and place a single layer in the pot. Crumble the meat mixture between your fingers and drop onto cabbage leaves. Spoon on some of the tomato juice and then put some slices of tomato, you can also put thin slices of onion if you wish. Place another layer of cabbage leaves on top of this layer and repeat the process ending with a layer of cabbage leaves. Place the uncooked bacon on top of the cabbage and cover. Place into a preheated 325 degree oven for 2.5 hours. Use the V8 juice to baste the casserole with to keep the top layer of cabbage moist. Remove and let set for 20 minutes before serving. Cut into serving pieces and serve.
Pammers would add a sprinkling of Allspice and fresh ground pepper on each layer of cabbage leaves. Allspice adds a certain "something" to all cabbage dishes IMNSHO. Maybe even a splash of dry red wine to dilute the tomato juice carbohydrates. Mmmm…the possibilities!!!!!

2. Bake the eggplant on all sides in a very hot oven (stick them with a fork first, so they won't explode). Put in a large plastic bag and put in the sink to cool. Meanwhile, peel the zucchini, cut in quarters, and steam in a bit of water until soft but not too mushy.
3. Peel the eggplant and mash together with the zucchini, using a fork.
4. Fry the garlic a bit in oil in a large pot. Add the eggplant mixture and stir-fry for two more minutes. Add salt, pepper, and stock, and cook together for five minutes.
5. Meanwhile, make small balls from the meatball mix and coat in a bit of flour [I seriously doubt this is essential to success here — Orit].
6. Put the meatballs carefully into the pot with the bubbling eggplant sauce. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Serve hot or lukewarm. Can be garnished with chopped green onion.
Heavenly Beef
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
1 eye of round roast, any weight
1 to 1 1/2 cups White Zinfandel
1 to 1/2 cups water
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
Seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper to taste
Place liquid ingredients and spices into a slow cooker (crock-pot). Add beef tenderizer if you like–it's not really needed. Cook using medium setting for 8-12 hrs or until tender. It depends on your crock-pot. Remove meat from liquid and flake or shred with a fork.
Sauce Bar-B-Q
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
6 oz tomato paste (no sugar added)
1 Tbsp. Liquid Smoke
3/4 cup of liquid that roast was cooked in
1 Tbsp. dried onion
1/4 cup brown Sugar Twin or Splenda (or 6 packets sweetener)
1/2 stick butter
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Place butter in saucepan and melt. Add rest of ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes or so. Add a few drops of Tabasco for a hotter taste. Add seasoning if you wish, like seasoned salt and pepper.
Place shredded beef in skillet with other half of butter stick and fry until slightly crispy brown (don't burn it). Add 3 or 4 Tbsp. of the Sauce and brown a little more.
I've used this recipe on shoulder roast, or thick shoulder steak, brisket, rump roast cut into slabs…. any sort of pot roast meat.
While it was intended as a shredded beef recipe, we prefer to barbecue the meat briefly with the sauce after the pot-cooking part. We found shredding it too saucy for our tastes. The original recipe called for eye round roast, which seemed a little bit of an expensive cut, considering that cheaper cuts would tenderize during cooking. I also use blush wine in a box (my generic cooking wine) instead of the Zinfandel. Once I tried a cheap burgundy, but that made it too acidic-tasting. I don't own a crock pot anymore, so I just use a soup pot on the stove for 1 to 3 hours, depending on the thickness of meat I'm using (take it out slightly before tender, too tender falls apart on the grill).
Barbecued Beef Rib Rub
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
1/3 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
General Purpose Dry Rub
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
3/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Rub meat to be barbecued with the dry rub and allow to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Dry Rub
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
1tsp. salt
1tsp. pepper
½ tsp. ground cumin
Combine all ingredients, and mix well.
Meat Rub
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
3 tbsp. paprika
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. ground basil
1.5 tbsp. dry mustard
1 tbsp. red pepper
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Combine dry rub ingredients and rub onto ribs or meat.
Cajun-flavoured Steak Rub
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
Scrape a halved garlic bulb on both sides, then rub in a half-teaspoon of home-made Cajun mix:
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. hot red pepper or cayenne.
Jerk Dry Rub
Category: Low Carb Meat Recipes
Pastes made of spices, herbs, and onions are the authentic jerk flavouring method. You rub the paste into the uncooked meat to add flavour. This is a medium-hot paste; it can be made hotter with the addition of more hot peppers or hot pepper sauce. If you want less heat, remove the seeds and membranes containing the seeds from the
peppers before grinding them. Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers are preferred, but you can substitute the milder, or more readily available jalapeno or serrano peppers.
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Jamaican pimento, (allspice)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 to 6 hot peppers, finely ground
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Mix together all the ingredients to make a paste. A food processor fitted with a steel blade is ideal for this. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a tightly closed jar for about a month.
I hope you enjoy some of these low carb meat recipes.

We traveled over the pass to Salem on Sunday morning so the guys could check out the gold show. Wouldn't you know it - when we got up, it was snowing. We had to drive in it for about 2 1/2 hours before it turned to rain. Tripcheck reported 153" at Santiam Pass on Sunday morning. This was the view most of the way. Our mascot Murphy rides with us in the green Element which is nicknamed Murphy. Our Irish friend, LA named it for us! The trees in the background are from a forest fire several years ago. A very big one. They used to look like the trees in the middleground. :( The ride back was fairly uneventful - other than it took us way longer because of #1 - people weren't prepared, #2 - end of spring break, #3 - people don't know how to drive. The folks going 20 mph need to get out of the way!! Or, put chains on. Or, better yet, get some decent tires.
So, after Sunday, it started to warm up - very gradually. Was 19º the last few mornings for our walk. Thought that was over......... By afternoon, though, has been upper 50's and low 60's. So, time to work on the garden! Yipee!! Dean built a couple of large raised beds.
I cleaned out last year's garden area. This is the retaining wal that was built, then came tumbling down (see Feb 2 post....)
The columbine is beginning to peek through
And the sedums are growing fast.

Personal hygiene and good grooming are two essential things that individuals need to pay attention to all the time. This is not only to conform to the standards of society but also for personal satisfaction. However, personal grooming in salons can be a bit costly. This is true in many countries where personal services are at higher price compared to other kinds of services. Hence, you really have to be ready with enough money if you so decide to have your personal services in those countries.
In some places having a manicure and pedicure by professionals in a salon is even more expensive than having a dinner date with a loved one in a fine dine restaurant. Despite this fact, women who love to pamper themselves with personal services like spa, pedicure and manicure need not have to worry at all. There are still many ways for them to save a lot of money on these kinds of personal services. Here are some suggestions that might work for you:
- Do the pampering yourself – learn how to do your own manicure and pedicure to yourself. You can have the pampering you want without having to spend on expensive charges for these kinds of services. If you do it to yourself you only need to spend for the needed cosmetics.
- Buy cheap but good quality cosmetics – if you have finally decided to do the personal services to yourself make sure to buy cheap yet good quality cosmetics that you are going to use. If you can find this kind of cosmetics it will be an added savings you will get while pampering yourself.
- Stay simple as you possibly can – for you to get real huge savings on personal services; you better stay as simple as you possibly can. A mere cleaning of your finger and toe nails will definitely do.

September 11th- the Memory and the Terror -2014
Since I cannot bring myself to use the visuals of what is still happening in Syria and Iraq – I have chosen Mark's photo as yet another wave breaks upon our shore.
NOTE: We are now at the 13th Anniversary of September 11th – and still we are in fear and loathing of those that try to strike terror in the hearts of ordinary folk. Beheadings, torture, rapes and whole societies wiped out and today- September 11th we remember the day the terror came home to the USA! I wrote the following on the 10th anniversary, reprising once again as we take yet another step in the horror which the world of fanatical religions dictating our lives.
10 years it is unbelievable to me a decade has passed – the sights and sounds of that day so vivid still- an act which will send the perpetrators to perdition.
Normally I would write an updated remembrance but I am in my own kind of man-made purgatory at the moment so I choose to remember as I did last year (below) . I also remember 9-11-09 …. the day of hope as Chris took his first infusion of SGN 35…… that September 11th dawning with hope just as years before a glorious September morn saw hope crashing to the earth…… the outcome was the same "grief and loss"………..a time to remember those that continue to give their lives ………………………….
Loose Change Poster – design by Chris Ritchey
'Kind" -having or showing a tender and considerate and helpful nature
There was no "kindness" in the nature of that September day as terror flew into the everyday working lives of those who experienced the dreadful destruction of September 11th 2001
They say you remember where you were and what you were doing until you die certain events-
And September 11th 2001.
ED NOTE:The linked video is from ordinary citizens with a view of the destruction- released 5 years after that September 11th day
I was sitting on the couch that morning, having my first cup of tea- my son- in -law to be called
"We are being attacked"
Knowing his penchant for practical jokes and phone calls I said
yeah yeah right- tell me more"
Just then my daughter came down the stairs with the phone in her hand , hair dripping wet –
Mum he is right a plane just flew into a building in New York – turn on the television.
Another call beeped in it was my mum
"Oh there has been a terrible accident a plane has flown into a skyscraper"
Just as she said that Tony ( my cousin who was over for a trip ) is heard in the back ground
"Bloody Hell there is another one."
We all went silent, incredulous watching as devastation rained down from the sky on a beautiful September morning.
I called my son- he told me that they were being evacuated from the college and told to return home- there was something going on in Cleveland , as he was heading to his campus apartment there were agents and militia armed with weapons in and around the streets- it was very tense. They were told to stay inside.
That day had a profound effect on this nation – I remember for the next two mornings- as I watered the garden not a sound from the sky , no roaring of the high-speed boats out on the lake- traffic was almost non existent- the sound of a siren sent chills- flags appeared outside the houses and on the streets – as if a patriotic garden bloomed from the carnage.
We did not move from the television- we watched as if from another planet the "human" story unfold that day. We hardly knew how to express our thoughts -the ugliness of hatred brought home -engulfing and billowing out as the towers and civilization fell in the name of "Jihad".
As for those that carried out these attacks there are no adequate words of condemnation. Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity.
–British Prime Minister Tony Blair
My son used his talents , he did a series of posters – that I have yet to find since his passing. It was after that day my son wore his patriotism proudly – always one to fly the flag ( more on that at the closure of this blog) he defended her the way he knew best through his work.
Yes , I am remembering Septembers and they are tinged with pride , lack of understanding , helplessness and prejudice against those that cause pain to the human heart and condition ………
and all who weep including the willow WE REMEMBER SEPT 11TH IN OUR OWN WAY!

What happened last month?
Over the week, ASX 200 +1%, Nikkei 225 +2.4%, Dow Jones +1.1%, Hang Seng -0.4%, Shanghai -1.3%, FTSE -2.6%, NASDAQ -2.6%, Iron Ore -1.7%, Oil -2.3%, Gold -4%, AUD/USD +3.3%
Hong Kong Mines & Money Conference
Latte with Ray is no stranger to Hong Kong, where my dad (and now my brother) have been running business there over the past four decades. This time, it's great to travel here again, along with a group of Morgans Analysts, Corporate Advisors and Corporate Clients. We attended the Mines & Money Conference and Hong Kong Rugby during the week. Latte with Ray was pleased to be invited to one of the corporate box of a major global accounting firm. Speaking of global companies, do you know there are plenty of them appointing Chinese as CEO or senior management? Latte with Ray has no doubt the future deal flows are mostly from China.
Hong Kong mines and money – our house feedback
Company / Investor make-up is evolving
Attendance has been reasonable this year. About half of all presenting companies are Australian (ASX listed) with the remainder mostly Canadian (TSX listed). With the TSX hosting far more junior miners than the ASX (i.e. far more companies struggling for capital), it's clear the Canadians are now competing harder for Asian funding compared to previous years.
What is Private equity thinking?
Small companies are likely to remain private for longer in the current tight climate for capital. I.e. Private Equity is looking to fill the void left by difficult equity markets for development capital. However private equity most likely won't invest in the first drill hole = bad for greenfields explorers. Most PE groups copper, gold, coking coal and potash as decent commodities to invest in. None so far have mentioned iron ore - possibly because valuations are inflated.
Plenty of funds waiting on the sidelines
Depending on who you believe, there's anywhere between $15-50bn of capital sitting on the sidelines awaiting investment so when the "turn" comes, and the herd moves together, then activity levels could be big. When this may happen is the big question. Many groups are in the "courting phase" where private equity is looking for investment but waiting for falls in valuations and vendor expectations before jumping in. Only the best assets will get funded.
Headline corporate presentations
Fortescue Metals - Just a glossy overview with no real room for questions - no real new news here
Robert Friedland - Ivanhoe - Classic permanent-bull Freidland chat maintaining a very positive tone on Chinese growth. His best picks are copper and zinc (a dog no more apparently).
Most interesting "theme" - Air pollution in China
China's chronic problem with air pollution is a major talking point among Chinese investors who give us the impression that the regime is very serious about tackling the problem. Apparently China is in the midst of an "airpocalypse" of pollution. Xinhua (China's government newspaper) said this week that "A country with a brown sky and hazardous air is no longer beautiful".
It's a big deal that China is finally admitting to the problem. Investors are expecting major initiatives on containing environmental issues. This means containing sulphur pollution from cars and power generation. China has 90m cars on the road, which is expected to grow to 400m by 2030...pollution is a MAJOR issue.
Basically, this shows that Japan's industry was every bit as polluting as China's during the height of its major period of industrialisation and growth in the 1970's. Through investment in catalytic conversion technology for cars, scrubbing and filtration on the back end of generators and cleaner coal sources from Australia, Japan's power industry is now relatively 'clean' and pollution is controlled. This augurs well for sources of cleaner burning thermal coal (such as Australia) should China choose to follow the same path.

1. They are the smartest and everyone knows it
The glasses they wear are not just for a better look. A study by "Garnier" found that 75% of men think brunettes are the most intelligent women.
2. More earning
OK really is not everything in the money. But you are sure that the idea that she is earning her and spending her own money does not "fire" you? A poll in which 6,000 people surveyed found that brunettes had the highest pay. The word "brunette" has become synonymous with an independent woman.
3. They are better wives
Even if you do not think about marriage, it's good to know if someone is "material for a wife". One study found that 61% of men think that women with brown hair are suitable for marriage because of their loyalty and integrity. For the blondes, only 14% of the respondents said that.
4. They are better friends
The same research showed that brunettes are best as friends. Plus, who would not want a partner who is also a best friend ?!
5. James Bond loves brunettes
It's a fact. And who would have opposed James Bond at all ?!
6. They are the best lovers
You thought that guys love only blondes? A survey shows that 58% of men think brunettes are the best in bed. This is not something to be overlooked.
7. They are the most interesting
Everyone wants a partner with whom to talk, and brunettes are the best choice. According to a poll, 63% of men would rather have a serious conversation with a brunette than with blonde. Oops, excuse me blondes.
8. They are independent
No one wants a partner who completely depends on the other. How to make sure you go out with someone who is independent? Choose a brunette. A study in the United Kingdom found that 67% of men think brunettes are the most dependent.
9. They are most practical
Blondes are considered careless and fun, but to be serious – everything has its price. One study showed that, in contrast, girls with brown hair are grounded and more practical than blondes.
10. They make their partners feel successful
Boys remember: the competitive spirit is infectious. A survey shows that one in five men feels more successful when the woman he goes out is brunette.

A council has finally taken action to remove an illegal travellers' camp parked next to Dreamland.
The group, which were set up next to Dreamland in Margate, have been at the venue for around nine weeks but have now been served with a legal notice ordering them to leave.
A Thanet District Council spokesman said the enforcement action was being taken after a court order had been ignored by the group - who have now reportedly moved on to the seafront car park in Ramsgate.
Officers from Kent Police and the council arrived at the site - the car park off Belgrave Road - this morning.
Travellers were first reported at the site in early January.
Pictures taken show extensive amount of waste generated at the camp with human excrement reportedly left strewn over the car park.
Residents and businesses have been complaining about the waste and rubbish piling up at the site and a lack of action being taken by the council to force them to leave.
Several notices were issued by the council but the group reportedly moved the vehicles around and returned.
But the travellers are now said to have parked up at the Marina Esplanade car park with the council now set to start a removal process again.
Please send your photos or videos of the eviction to firstname.lastname@example.com

The Art of Grocery Shopping
May 1, 2016
Growing up, my family's grocery shopping was always a major event, something I was forced to endure on a weekly basis. Every Saturday morning my father would comb the newspaper ads for specials. Like the true engineer he was, he mapped his shopping trajectory based on which stores had what deals. We spent the better part of our Saturday going from one market to the next --often four or more. I pushed the cart while he consulted his list. This was not quality father-son time. With a childhood like

Texting Away A Dysfunctional Family
November 8, 2015
[raw] [/raw] After the football game my wife and I took our older daughter out to dinner as we usually do on these Saturday evenings. A celebratory meal, certainly not for the prowess of our team, these after-game dinners reinforce the connections we have with our very independent children. With one in college and the other soon to be, we hardly ever see them. We are pre-empty nesters trying to get the hang of our new reality. This time, our younger daughter was entertaining friends at home.

The Curse: That's One Small Step For Man…
October 21, 2015
[raw] I forgot to take a picture of my foot stuck in the Metro escalator. So, like all good crime stories, I have recreated the scene. X marks the spot.[/raw] As I arrived at the surface from my subway commute, suddenly, a short, old woman, dressed in a mid February coat, crossed my path. "Pfeh," she said in her Slavic-sounding accent, "to you and your descendants!" I ignored her. But I had been cursed. And I hadn't even reached my cubicle yet. Strange things began to happen; sudden

Emigrating to Oblivia
August 8, 2015
I'm emigrating to Oblivia. I'm leaving this place and its work culture. I have spent too long trying to live with the tenets of our national work zeitgeist. It's time to visualize my exit. No, I'm not retiring just yet (I've got two children to get through college). But I am thinking about it. Eighty years ago, on August 14, 1935, the same day the Social Security Administration was founded, Obliva became a bona fide and well-sought-out destination. Suddenly, retirement was closer to reality for

[raw] Observant at a very young age, I was particularly interested in my toes.[/raw] I am nothing if not observant. I had to be, growing up in an irrational house, where, at any moment, the sublime could morph into the profane —and where a loved one could literally change overnight.

A New Flag For Our Lawn

[raw] I suggested some alternatives to the realtor who plants American flags on our lawns every 4th of July. [/raw] When it comes to our little plot of suburban heaven, we are outliers. We couldn't care less about having a perfect lawn. No monthly weed treatments and I do all the mowing. Some years, to make its upkeep a little less mundane, I do creative mowing. The best thing you can say about our grass is it's green. And, if you squint, it looks lush and, well, even greener. Every year

So much cuteness and spunk this happy little one-year old Mallory brought to my studio this weekend. What a pleasure it was to get to meet this special little girl. She's just absolutely adorable and busy.
Also love when I get to meet up with friends, this little ones momma and I used to work together we had a great time catching up a bit too inbetween clothes changes. Thanks so much for coming down to the studio – they traveled all the way down from St. Louis Park.


text: Software Gartner warns of metadata troubles with Vista OS Jeff Jedras and Jeremy Kirk @itworldca Published: January 19th, 2006A Gartner report warns Microsoft does not adequately address metadata management in its upcoming Windows Vista OS, but Microsoft warns it's not fair to judge an OS by its beta release, adding the final release will be more robust.In the report, Gartner analysts Michael Silver and Neil MacDonald said with Vista's failure to secure metadata documents potentially embarrassing data could inadvertently be revealed to customers. They encourage organizations to develop metadata policies and look at third-party tools that allow them to manage metadata more securely.In Vista, Microsoft uses metadata — the term for keywords or other data that describe documents — for faster file searches. Metadata can also help detail changes to a document as different people edit it.The costs for an organization that mistakenly releases documents with sensitive metadata could be high, Gartner warns. For example, a company might tag documents to identify high-value and low-value customers. Sending a document with the "low-value" tag still attached could damage a business relationship.Vista will have a tool for removing metadata, but it does not entirely resolve the issue, according to Gartner. To use the tool, a copy of the document is generated. Even if the metadata is removed in one document, a chance remains that the wrong document could be sent out, the report said. Additionally, the author must remember to use the tool."The issues in Windows Vista should have been addressed deep within the OS during development, " Silver and MacDonald wrote.Elliot Katz, senior product manager, Windows client for Microsoft Canada, conceded Gartner makes a salient point that companies should be aware of their metadata, particularly when sending documents outside their company. He said though that Gartner reviewed a CTP (Community Technology Preview), and Microsoft is continuing to develop Vista's metadata functionality."We're really concerned about protecting customers' privacy and we've built into…Vista safeguards to allow customers to protect their data," said Katz.Based on feedback from the first beta release and other CTPs, Katz said Microsoft has already removed some metadata functionalities from Vista, such as the ability to copy the metadata attributes of one file to another through a simple drag and drop. It has also been made easier to erase metadata through a dedicated tool."As we move forward we're considering many things," said Katz. "I don't want to focus on any specific one or state any specific one will be in the final product, that's really what the beta and CTP program are all about."Gartner did have some specific recommendations for Microsoft on enhancing metadata privacy, including incorporating digital rights management to control who views the metadata, and allowing organizations to have a list of approved keywords to assign as metadata. Also, Gartner said Exchange Server should be equipped to strip metadata in Vista or Office files any time a document is sent outside the company.QuickLink 060799 Related Download Sponsor: BlackBerry A UEM Checklist for CIOs Register Now Software

When construction on the 363-mile-long Erie Canal began in 1817, it was expected to transform the economy of upstate New York.
But even though the economic impact of the canal didn't last as long as its champions may have hoped, there's reason to believe the canal can drive change in its 200th year.
Celebrations for the bicentennial will begin this weekend in communities along the canal — communities that have enormous potential to capitalize on the canal for economic gain. Through efforts to expand shipping and tourism in the communities surrounding the canal, it can not only help upstate New York make an economic comeback, but also make a comeback of its own.
In its early days, the canal was used to ship millions of tons of commercial cargo every year, drastically reducing the cost of shipping between the Midwest and New York City. Massive railroad expansion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries overtook the canal as the cheapest and quickest way to move goods.
But in May, the Erie Canal saw a flashback to its old shipping days. The Genesee Brewing Company used the canal to ship giant fermentation tanks too large to move any other way. The canal has also been used in the past to transport navy sonar equipment, wind turbines and other large manufacturing equipment that isn't feasible to transport by land.
The New York Times reported the state expects more than 200,000 tons to be shipped through the canal this year — a small number compared to the capacity that once flowed the canal. Still, the canal may be on the verge of a resurgence in commercial shipping that could help spur business growth throughout the state.
It's no secret the upstate New York economy is struggling. The rapid outsourcing of manufacturing has caused factories to close their doors, and the state itself has one of the slowest-growing economies in the country, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The Erie Canal may not be the answer to all of upstate New York's economic problems, but it can be used more effectively to drive business growth throughout the state in a number of ways.
The first is commercial shipping. Genesee Brewing Company demonstrated the canal can be used to transport massive manufacturing machinery. Manufacturing facilities still located in upstate New York — and ones like Elon Musk's SolarCity that are just starting out — can ship larger, more advanced machinery on the canal as they scale their operations and upgrade their facilities. Some may have no idea they could ship on the canal, but Genesee Brewing Company's use of the canal has helped bring this option into the mainstream.
The canal can also move beyond its traditional use and spur economic and business growth through tourism. Lockport, a town located about 20 miles east of Niagara Falls, is one locality that's made progress in canal tourism. Part of the original Erie Canal runs straight through Lockport, and the local government has taken strong initiative to utilize the canal as a focal point for building a thriving tourism business.
City officials believe in using the canal as a catalyst for economic growth, said David Kinyon, a former economic development coordinator for the town of Lockport.
"Through continued investment by the New York State Canal Corporation in marinas and other kinds of infrastructure, we see a great opportunity to increase visitor counts," Kinyon said.
Some officials and even residents may see canal development as a waste of resources. But Kinyon said he believes canal communities across the state, like Lockport, could use their canal assets to boost tourism.
It's been working in Lockport. Local businesses often name themselves after the canal, and a canal tour business and canal cruise line have been thriving for years. Restaurants and main street shops have popped up along the canal's bank more recently.
Canal communities across the state can follow Lockport's lead, viewing their canal as an asset and eventually investing overnight accommodations, restaurants and other attractions to build an ecosystem of tourism.
The rich history of the Erie Canal demonstrates the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit to drive change when necessary. This spirit is rising again in New York state on the canal's bicentennial, and canal communities should capitalize on it to discover new ways the 200-year-old waterway could breathe life back into their economies.

Would-be buyers more willing to sacrifice holidays than cigarettes when saving to buy a home
Holidays are the first things to be cut among those keen to buy a home, according to a survey from Barratt Homes.
The five star housebuilder, which is building homes in Plymouth, asked 2,000 people which luxuries they would cut back on in order to save the money needed to make their dream move.
More than a third of those asked (35 per cent) said they would forgo that special trip away, closely followed by 32 per cent, who were brave enough to sacrifice time in the pub, eating out, or visiting the cinema.
"Acquiring a new home is a big financial commitment for anyone and, understandably, many would-be buyers take it very seriously," said sales director, Sara Parker. "We all love life's little luxuries, like holidays and evenings out, but those asked in our survey told us it was worth giving them up for a short while for the greater cause.
"At Barratt, we do our best to help by offering a number of schemes designed to make it easier to save for a deposit. Help to Buy, for example, is available on all new-build homes up to £600,000 in England. It allows many to own their new property by paying just five per cent up front. And that's a big help for those struggling to find anything they're able to go without during the saving process."
According to the survey, just six per cent said they would be willing to stop smoking in a bid to acquire some extra funds - with only 13 per cent abstaining from alcohol. Daily treats like coffee are too important to miss for many of those asked, with a paltry 10.5 per cent happy to give them up. And gadgets are pretty high on the list of important items, with just over 15 per cent willing to miss out on the latest smart phone or tablet.
"Moving into your own home is a special time for anyone, and many of our buyers tell us the experience is well worth the short term sacrifices required in terms of saving for such a major investment," added Sara.
"There are plenty of opportunities to move into the property market - or to move further up the ladder - and our teams are very happy to talk to potential buyers about these at developments across the region."
Barratt Homes is currently working on its Redwood Heights development in Plymouth.

Combining nanocalorimetry and synchrotron nano-focus X-ray scattering to address fast structure formation processes
Extending conventional methods of physical-chemical characterization to smaller and smaller sample size is crucial for the application fields where the amount of available material is limited. For example, in pharmaceutics the cost of a new material synthesis can be prohibitive and, therefore, very small sample size is often all what is available to study the necessary structural and thermal characteristics. Handling very small sample sizes is also required in studies of thermal behavior of energetic materials that produce a deflagration reaction, with all the associated risks in terms of safety. However, to significantly shift the scale of the sample sizes downwards, it may be necessary to introduce completely new ideas into the instrumental design. For example, extending differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for probing minuscule sample amounts has dramatically changed all the implementation of this conventional technique. The advent of nanocalorimetry has become possible because of the development of Si-based technologies allowing fabrication of novel MEMS-type sensors suitable for such sample sizes. One of the first commercially available MEMS sensors produced by the Xensor company (TCG 3880) reached a sensitivity of 1 nJ.K-1 and a time resolution of 5 ms [1]. The approaches toward quantitative nanocalorimetric experiments were developed further by M. Merzlyakov [2] and C. Schick [3].
The active area of the nanocalorimetric sensor is fabricated on a thin free-standing membrane of silicon nitride, a material with a relatively low thermal conductivity. Heating of the nanocalorimetric sensor can be realized by applying voltage on specially designed heating resistances. The sensor temperature can be measured using an array of thermopiles assembled on the active area. Since the heating and cooling rates that can be employed are much higher than in the classical DSC, much smaller samples become amenable to study as compared to the classical DSC. Although the advent of nanocalorimetry has significantly broadened the field of applications of the technique, a combination of calorimetry with other methods of physical-chemical characterization remains very attractive: the calorimetric measurements alone cannot always reveal the mechanisms of complex processes occurring in the material.
In our previous works, we described our custom-built nanocalorimetric accessory allowing for a combination of nanocalorimetry with other characterization techniques such as optical microscopy in reflection and transmission [4,5]. One of main advantages of our instrument compared to the commercial nanocalorimeter (i.e., "Flash DSC 1" from Mettler-Toledo) is that its design is fully open for integrating it into other experimental platforms. This is critical if one plans to make this accessory compatible for example with micro- and nano-focus synchrotron X-ray diffraction in transmission. The first successful in-situ measurements using nanocalorimetry and nano- and micro-focus X-ray diffraction, which has been developed in the frame of our Mega-Grant project conducted at the Moscow State University, were performed on metal micro-particles [6] and nanostructured hybrid materials [7].
In the present contribution, we report on the first application of a combined nanocalorimetry / nanofocus X-ray scattering accessory for in-situ studies of the structure formation processes in semicrystalline polymers. We also present the first in-situ measurements using a combination of fast calorimetry and fast X-ray scattering realized with a brand new family of X-ray detectors. The X-ray acquisition rate record achieved for the moment for a typical polymer sample deposited on a nanocalorimetric sensor is as fast as 1 ms/ frame. This rate makes it possible for example to perform real-time fast heating/cooling experiments at rates up to 10,000 °C/s with simultaneous recording of the sample heat capacity. As will be shown in the presentation, such combination can be valuable in analyzing the details of the microstructural evolution during fast heating of the semicrystalline polymers. In particular, based on the results of combined nanocalorimetry / nanofocus X-ray scattering experiments, we were able to revisit the long-standing issue of the multiple melting behavior in semirigid-chain polymers [8]. Moreover, the developed combination of nanocalorimetry / nanofocus X-ray scattering allows us to analyze such fundamental features of polymer crystallization as its departure from equilibrium, which has important implications for understanding of the polymer crystallization thermodynamics.

A significant weather advisory showed up in the weather alerts and I wondered so I googled. It means not enough to call it severe thunderstorm but there could be hail or as opposed to cats and dogs, it's going to rain rocks like on Planet 51. Ok, I'll bring my iron-clad umbrella and keep my fingers crossed for the distance I have to walk to work it doesn't rain until after I get there, the umbrella being heavy and ouch!. It also means lightening. I guess it was smart of me to put my wash on this 2am, now 3 from surfing around then deciding to write, and drying it before lightening strikes. Thank goodness it's Friday and I otherwise have no reason to go anywhere for the weekend.
Sorry, got lost in some thought.
Thinking of a turn of events at work. My boss is one of the worst I've ever experienced and I wonder why is it if I am meant to be here she is part of it. Why do I have to have a terrible boss who threatens my security, my pay, pretty much anything she can. I'm hanging on for my life until I can retire. My poker face is getting worn. One of those things there's no answer for I guess.

So, I wish to share with you my discoveries.
One of the first probelms I found is that many games are designed for kids older than 4 years. That is a problem because Andre has 2 years and Marko 3 and a half. Here is what I found usefull:

- Something similar but less powerful is a program called Painter
- Other painter software is available here
- Then I found a program for learning the countries of the world... really cool! super simple but a great thing. Its name is Seterra
