Thank you to all involved – Recently we switched from an old tube TV to a brand new smart TV with streaming capabilities. Now we are open to a much broader world of entertainment. Our favorite has been all the documentaries. One of the first we watched was Ken Burn's "Dust Bowl" which led us to the two part series on The Great Plains in which you are featured. We believe very strongly in what you and others in that documentary are doing to preserve and reclaim the native ecosystems of the Great Plains. It is a shame and a crime the greed, short sightedness, and ignorance in our country that has led to this degree of ecological degradation. We have often wondered what it must have been like to see massive herds of Buffalo wandering the Great Plains; to see endless expanses of open prairie.
We also wonder why buffalo has not become more popular. It is the perfect red meat. Being low in cholesterol with a great flavor it would seem to be the perfect replacement for beef for those of us who refuse to give up meat, yet are still concerned with our health. Barbara is a native of North Dakota and every time we go out to visit we make our best effort to get a hold of some burger or a nice buffalo steak. Also her dad raises some delicious grass feed beef cows.
As we said in the beginning we are very happy that folks like you give a damn and are putting your concern into action. God bless you!
Dave and Barb Lampron
Like the previous comment above, I just watched the two-part documentary where the SHA was featured. I stopped watching to find this website. Your organization strikes a chord with me. Pulling together native culture and modern technology to provide quality, heathy Bison, is so elegant. Best of luck.

Our favourite pick for things to do in Medellin. Located very close to Ondas Hostel you can get their either on foot or a quick hop on the metro. The Communa 13 is probably one of the best representations of how much the city has changed in recent years. Lets have a look at how things were in the past.
Recent History:
Comuna 13 was once most dangerous neighborhood in Medellin which at the time was rated as the most dangerous city in the world. Due to the community's location near the highway made it a prime spot for criminals to operate their illegal activities. Whoever controls the Communa 13, controls the San Juan highway which leads west and out of the city towards the north and the Caribbean coast. The biggest culprits for all of the violence in the neighbourhood were the guerrillas, paramilitary groups, drug cartels and local gangs. There was always a constant struggle for criminal control which unfortunately created a very dangerous environment for the everyday resident inside the Communa.
October 16 of 2002 there was an operation launched by the Colombian military called "Operation Orion". It was highly controversial at the time and its main focus was to remove the left-wing rebels from the Communa. The operation involved over 1,000 policemen, soldiers, including an aircrew of helicopters attacking the area . During the siege, it was impossible for the inhabitants to seek medical attention for the wounded, so the community took to the streets in solidarity flying white rags as a sign for peace. The fighting eventually stopped but the peace didn't last long. A new group was quick to take advantage. The paramilitaries filled the hole left behind in the power struggle and seized control. Their boss "Don Berna", was one of Pablo Escobar's loyals. Violence continued and during the year 2010 the Communa 13 held more than 10 percent of the cities homicides.
There was a big push from local artists to speak out against the violence and crimes. Several famous artists including Juanes, J Balvin, Jowell & Randy held a free concert with the goal to promote peace in the area. However the gangs fought back and more than 10 hip hop artists were murdered and many more were made to flee their homes.
Local residents became fed-up and began voicing their discontent and anger of all the violence that had been occurring in the Communa. The chose to do this through art and community event projects. Street art exploded in the area and you can see evidence of their struggle with multiple scenes of white rags raised for peace and solidarity.
Art started being used as a way to save the city and as a vehicle for creative and political expression. Artists started using the walls as canvases to tell their history, beautifying the area and bringing optimism and peace of the residents, children, and visitors.
In present times there has been a big shift in the feeling and atmosphere in the area. Residents are now no longer afraid to leave their homes and their quality of life has changed for the better. As you walk through the Communa, you will find kids playing football in the streets, street vendors selling fruit and empanadas, residents walking about the Communa going about their daily business. The overall feeling of the Communa 13 is one of positivity, creativity and hope.
Things to see and do:
There are several tour options for the Communa 13. The majority of them are free with local residents running the tours and then asking for tips at the end. The benefit of this is that you get to experience the history of the neighbourhood through the eyes of a local. Each of the guides has their own unique perspective and experience of life in the Communa, from the past to the present. Our two top picks are Stairway Storytellers and Zippy tour.
One of the biggest highlights of visiting this bustling neighbourhood is all of the local street art and music scene. Hip Hop is big in the Communa 13 and there are a lot of up and coming artists in the Communa at the moment. Street art and culture play a big part of what the Communa is today. All of the tours that you can do through the Communa will take you to these amazeing murals and give you a bit of the history behind a lot of the art.
The public outdoor escalators. Communal 13 is one of only 3 countries in the world which have public outdoor escalators (and the only country to have them in a poor neighbourhood). These have created a positive difference throughout the area as it has allowed elderly and less mobile people access the city centre for work opportunities. When you visit the Communa you will notice that it is laid out across a hilltop (and quite a steep one at that) and so accessibility and mobility had been a real concern and hindrance for many of the residents. There are 6 in total, they are free to use and are patrolled by some of the friendliest security guards Ive ever met.
The other piece of public transport that has had a major impact on the area is the The metrocable. It is easily accessed from the San Javier metro station, at no additional cost. Yo can ride the metro cable all the way to the top and you will have an amazing arial view of the area. The birds eye view gives you a unique experience of the community below. You will see a lot of poor areas and it gives you a nice visual representation of some of the less fortunate areas of the city.
You can volunteer in the Communa 13 with several community projects being underway at any given time. www.primemedellin.com have several workshops throughout the week where you can volunteer your time and teach English to the locals. Due to the sudden influx of tourists into the area the locals are learning the importance of speaking English so there is a big community that show up to the classes as they are trying to take full advantage of the opportunity. Its a great way to chat and meet locals from the area. Prime also have several volunteer projects that you can also be involved in or you can always support their charity by signing up to Spanish or English classes with them and 10% of your course fees goes directly back into the Communa 13.

American Chromoly is a strong steel, so strong that it is used to make race car roll cages. Because of it's strength, the tubing used for a chromoly bicycle frame is thinner, making for a strong but lightweight frame.
Chromoly is responsive. It maintains it's form while offering a satisfying amount of flex. This means that as you ride your body absorbs less of the little bumps on the road because the frame does it instead.

Pardon to those who expressed interests to my integrated gauges proposed in Post 250: New Gauges – Sorry, Not Free back in June. Finally, they are here. Extra displays for VOR and NDB directions are added as a making up for the delay of them.
Although these two new integrated gauges are not free, one could save the extra Saitek Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) needed in standalone VORs and ADF setup.
Anyone interested could click HERE for details. Download links will be sent via email within 48 hours once notice received; unless I am away from the workstation.
BTW, you might have noticed the Donation banner I finally added to the right hand column after talking about the idea for nearly two years. Any donation, though not necessary, serves to be appreciation and encouragement for all the works and creations I share, and keep FSX Times going.

Hello December! Now that the chilly weather is setting in, it makes staying inside all the more appealing!
I love cooking up warm winter foods during the holidays, it brings a level of comfiness to the home.
I usually whip up a yummy veggie soup and that's actually how this recipe started out. I ended up taking a turn and making a chicken veggie curry that's so delicious even my toddler ate some. I'm also sharing a yummy after dinner snack that the whole family can enjoy, crunchy caramel popcorn!
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 celery stalk
- 1/4 onion
- 3 brown mushrooms
- 1 L veggie broth
- 1/2 bunch spinach
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- A splash of milk
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- Curry powder
- Cumin
- Salt & Pep
- Cayenne
- Chilli powder
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 1/2 cups rice
Chop up all vegetables then put them into a large pot. With the pot on medium, fry up the veggies with all of the spices.
Once the veggies are nice and soft, add the vegetable broth and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add flour to the mixture and stir.
Chop up chicken breasts and fry in a separate pan. Once fried, add to veggie pot and mix all together.
While doing this, start cooking the rice per package instructions (all rice is different)
If the curry sauce is looking too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it a bit!
In a bowl, add rice and pour curry sauce over top. Garnish with some cilantro and you have a delicious chicken curry!
Crunchy caramel popcorn
Preheat oven to 200 degrees
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
Start off by popping the popcorn, we use a machine that I got for my birthday one year, it works wonders! Here's a similar one: Popcorn machine
Line parchment paper on a flat baking sheet and spread out popcorn evenly, this way all the corn gets a caramel drizzle!
In a small pot, add butter and brown sugar and bring to a boil on medium heat. Cook on medium for 5 minutes without stirring and at the 4 minute mark, add the vanilla and at the 5 minute mark, add the baking soda. Once you add the baking soda, it will start to fluff up and turn a lighter brown, that's what you want. Stir so it doesn't boil over!
When the caramel is done, pour overtop of the popcorn and fold with a spatula (not your hands) Place baking sheet into the oven and continuously move around so it doesn't burn. Continue doing so for about 10-15 minutes or until you're pleased!
Let cool before serving

Pro Wakeboard Tour to kick off in Acworth | Events
Title (Max 100 Characters)
ACWORTH, Ga. -- From X Games gold medalists to world record holders, from national to world champions, all the top professional wakeboarders from across the planet are scheduled to hit the waters of Dallas Landing Park in Acworth.
The 20th season of the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour will begin on Lake Allatoona from Thursday, May 19 to Saturday, May 21.
The Acworth tour stop will mark the Pro Tour's fifth appearance at Dallas Landing Park (5120 Allatoona Drive, 30101) in the last six years.
Throughout the three-day event, riders will compete in a series of elimination rounds by performing rail tricks and aerial stunts while being pulled on the water by the MasterCraft X-Star, the tour's official towboat, at a speed of approximately 25 miles per hour.
Tricks are scored by a panel of judges, with only the top-scoring athletes advancing in each round until a winner is determined in the finals on May 21.
Last year, the Pro Tour made a splash in front of a crowd of more than 8,000 people at Dallas Landing Park.
Teenage Australian phenom Harley Clifford took first place in 2010. Former world champion Rusty Malinoski also participated.
The 2011 Pro Tour opener promises to be even better with the addition of a Pro Women's division. The sport's top female rippers have not competed at Dallas Landing Park since 2008 and are looking forward to making an impact in Acworth during their return.
In addition to all the action in the water, fans on land will enjoy plenty of great food, autograph sessions, giveaways, interactive live music, product sampling and shopping at some of the top stores for water sports equipment, including boats, wakeboards, wakeskates and sunglasses.
Tickets are available at the gate. They are $13 for adults, $5 for kids (ages six to 12) and free for children under age five. If purchased online, adult tickets are only $7.

The Corner
Writing advice is there to be ignored. It's the baying of the overly-prescriptive to the uninformed. I don't like it, I don't agree with it, and I generally find that most of it is fit only to be ignored. To wit, the oft-given piece of advice that no writer should ever read fiction alongside writing fiction, lest the voice of the author they're reading should creep into their own work. It's impossible, it's untenable, and anybody who goes around telling people this sort of rubbish ought to have a quiet word with themselves.
Everybody knows the single most important thing any writer can do to keep honing his or her craft is to read. And I mean, read a lot. We can learn a great deal by osmosis: good structure, tight pacing, believable characterisation. Hell, you can even learn how to write books where a teenage vampire is torn between his love for his girlfriend, and his crushing desire to eat her, if you're that way inclined. And the second most important thing any writer can do to keep honing his or her craft is to write. A lot. Like, every day. So how can both be true? Either you write, or you read, according to this dictum: you don't do both at once. (God forbid).
On the contrary, I firmly believe that any writer who has developed a strong enough voice can read whatever they like, whenever they like, alongside writing. If you choose your books smartly, it's going to help your writing process. Take that, opinionated advice-givers!
At present, I'm working on a ridiculously complicated, and very large, project. Even before beginning, I had a notebook full of characters - and not a weedy little notebook either, I'm talking about the type that's got pouches and seperate sections of coloured and graphed paper, the type that's so big it won't even fit into a handbag - and sheets full of diagrams. This project is so complicated it wasn't enough to draw a simple linear storyline, or even two or three simple linear storylines. What was required was to draw several pictorial diagrams, including Venn diagrams, and spider diagrams, and all sorts of stuff that have left the back pages of my process book looking like something from a very creatively taught secondary school Maths class. The central conflict and deceit is based around three main characters, with two important characters on the periphery around them; and, because of where the novel takes place, there at least another dozen less important characters, without whom the novel could not exist.
It was a doozy to get started. I didn't know where to begin at first. Intimidated by the scale and complexity, I procrastinated rather by drawing several more diagrams than I needed, strictly speaking. This gave me comfort in thinking that I was doing something 'important'. It gave the illusion that I was working on the book, even though I wasn't really working on the book. Anyway, in the end, I ran out of differently coloured pens for drawing the graphs, and realised I could excuse myself no longer. It was time to get started, dammit, and start I must, somewhere or other.
Overwhelmed by the complexity of what lay before me, I stuttered over knowing how to tackle the project. To help me along, I took my inspiration from other works with very heavily populated, complex storylines. I noticed how the writers began somewhere, concentrating on small vignettes of story, little illuminating flashes of character and incident. The scale of the novel was not given away in the detail - the detail was what made the complexity manageable, and the story intriguing for the reader.
Of biggest help in this project has been The Corner (A Year in the life of an inner-city neighbourhood), by David Simon & Ed Burns. This is the book upon which the television series The Wire is based. Although the subject matter of it is very different from the subject matter in my project, it has a similar scale of complexity and inter-tangled storylines. Technically, it's not a work of fiction, thus negating everything I have said earlier on in this blog post, but it certainly reads like a novel. Most importantly, despite the scale of it, it is not intimidating for the reader. Thirty pages in, I was hooked. How do they do that? I'll tell you how: with vivid detail, interesting characters, and sympathy. As an aside, I can't advise highly enough that you watch The Wire, all the way from the beginning of Season One, all the way until the very end of Season Five, without missing any out. Do not dismiss this series as "a cop show". It is so much more than just a cop show. Witness:
Only by reading The Corner could I see how to get started on my own project. By noticing how Simon and Burns allow the bigger picture to emerge, slowly, from the smaller details, I was able to let go of my anxiety around writing something more complex than I would usually attempt. This has really helped me get started on my own work. Genuinely, I don't think I could have started it without this kind of 'help'. And that's why, (she said, extrapolating furiously), I'd recommend that others also find things that will help them with their current project. Reading is not only something to occupy your mind in the downtime. Its something that can fill you with inspiration, and knowledge about form and structure.

I was born in Anderson, Ind., and grew up in "Gaither Country." Our family sang and enjoyed the gospel music and the old hymns. I have autographed copies of the Gaither children's books which included the old 45 records. My son used to love to go fishing with his dad, so God could talk to him, as in God Loves to Talk to Boys While They're Fishing. My grandchildren are now enjoying the same books.
It made perfect sense that the Lord would again connect my husband, Mike, and me to the Gaithers through the "Gaither Gospel Hour" which I found, quite by accident, last summer. We have also enjoyed listening to Lynda Randle, the Gaither Vocal Band, David Phelps and all the rest of the groups on our DVDs and CDs, and we've been blessed by the articles and stories in Homecoming Magazine.
I was a caregiver to Mike for the last six years of his life before he went to be with the Lord in March; he had dementia and Alzheimer's, with open heart surgery before that. The only way I could comfortably leave him was when our neighbor came, and I set Mike up with a Gaither DVD. He would immediately start clapping and singing. When I returned home, the tape would still be playing, and I would sit beside him and finish the tape, both of us singing until the end. Then Mike would tell me he had been to the greatest concert ever — and he did believe he was there! He LOVED Guy Penrod and every time I played a tape and Guy started singing, Mike would yell into the kitchen excitedly, "Judy, my guy is on!" Mike, being from Texas and Montana, resembled Guy in features, coloring, height, bushy eyebrows and all. Mike also drove an old green truck, wore boots and huge belt buckles and loved country and gospel music.
The Lord was beside us both — ALL the way. A favorite quote of ours that was used at his Celebration of Life is this: "Take comfort in knowing that at last I am free and when we meet in heaven, I will once again be me."

I have no hesitation in rating the Games on the Gold Coast a huge success for the swim team but the big message has to be "no letting up."
The Comm Games are a very winning kind of environment and every swimmer is aware that success is not assured with the step up to Pan Pacs, world championships and Olympics at their next big meets.
The public perception is where we get into trouble because 28 gold medals must translate into something big at those next-level events, right?
Swimming against the Americans at the Pan Pacs in Japan in August is a whole different ball game.
I'm being realistic, not negative, because the beauty of the Gold Coast over the past two weeks has been the positivity and momentum for our swimmers to feed off.
It can work wonders but you can't get complacent after a high like this which is why you should know Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers is already back in Adelaide to start training again today.
The Comm Games are the springboard and a huge outcome has been the swimmers coming together with such obvious support for each other as a team which is a massive turnaround from the London Olympics of 2012.
The more confidence and support you have from within the team can help turn a swimmer on the fringes to being a standout because he or she is not alone on stage.
For the coaches, it will be a matter of consolidation and polishing areas of weakness because Tokyo is not that far away.
It was good to hear McLoughlin say his swim speed was sub-14 min 40 sec when winning the 1500m but he had already identified hard work on his turns was needed to get there.
He's maturing and more strength work and focus during the middle of races are areas he will now hone too.
It's in that age bracket of 17 to 21 that quite a bit of improvement still exists and Ariarne is in the sweet spot to take time jumps. The benefits of managing herself at a big meet and just racing hard back-to-back with the 800m and 400 just 24 hours apart were learnings from the Gold Coast.

If it is already cold in your city, I suggest taking a look at some fashionable outerwear in order to be not only warm, but also to remain stylish. Thanks to the designers, the most trendy thing of the season has become the classic sheepskin coat of straight silhouette. I recommend wearing them with romantic dresses or skirts to create a boho look.
You can also try a variant with boyfriend jeans or skinny leather pants, biker boots — so you get a bold look, which will be very comfortable.
Laconic, cozy, direct and rough — such sheepskin coats have all the chances to become your favorite when the cold hits, but before that you can play on contrasts. Here you will get some help of lightweight fabrics: silk, chiffon, thin knitwear. I have picked up couple of options of such coats for you

|Spiritual Warfare
We should understand that Jesus overcame sin for us by shedding his blood upon the cross. Paul wrote, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God" (Romans 3:25)
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:10-13).
We are not to be ignorant of the devices of Satan; therefore, need to understand the nature of religious spirits. In general, religious spirits are often at work when people use "religion" in defense of their sin.

People who are serious about making health happen in 2018 should know that there are many strategies they can deploy to ensure their mental and physical well-being. Here are three of them:
1. Eat The Right Foods…Consistently.
As many people know, fad dieting is incredibly common in America. This mode of dieting is problematic because it typically involves the use of synthetic items like protein shakes or the elimination of entire food groups. Even when the diet includes healthy foods, it will oftentimes involve substantive caloric restriction, with this reality leaving the dieter feeling deprived and irritated. Unfortunately, many people don't know how to move beyond the dangerous world of dieting and into the realm of healthy eating. If this is your dilemma, don't worry. There are now hundreds and hundreds of free online health resources that will provide you with the tools, instructions, and community necessary to eat right all the time. Remember that just going on a health kick in which you eat well for several weeks will not get you where you want to be. For your foodstyle to work, it has to be a plan that you will stick to for life. Consider using a free online resource such as www.thugkitchen.com to start accessing recipe plans and connecting with other individuals who can teach you how to eat delicious, nutritious foods around the clock!
2. Get In Some Physical Activity.
In addition to eating the right foods consistently, make sure that you get in some physical activity each day. Research studies have found that individuals who exercise regularly are more effective in preventing disease while also attaining positive outcomes like mood stability and more energy. There are many different paths individuals can choose when they get serious about exercise. One is joining a local gym, but remember that this is not the only option out there. If you're an introvert or simply feel uncomfortable exercising in front of other people, you could hire a personal trainer. You could also purchase fitness DVDs or workout videos and complete the exercise activities at home!
3. Focus On Optimizing Work Productivity.
Optimizing work productivity is a wonderful way to facilitate mental and physical well-being. This technique works by enhancing your levels of confidence as you find yourself becoming increasingly productive and efficient in the work setting. One great strategy to use for the purpose of making yourself more productive in the work setting is using the right devices. In the event that you are in need of equipment like directional coupler applications, note that you can obtain them from companies such as Werlatone.
Three mind/body strategies you can deploy to make wellness real are outlined above. Begin integrating these techniques into your daily life soon so you can begin to attain outstanding results!

SkinPen Treats Your Acne-Damaged Skin
Would you like to resolve skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and even stretch marks? Ridiculous question, for sure, because we all have at least one of these issues that bothers us. But what if you had a way to allow your body's own natural healing processes to remedy these issues? That sounds pretty appealing! And that is essentially what the SkinPen Microneedling Treatments do for you.
A quick primer on SkinPen:
- Microneedling – creates temporary, teeny-tiny channels in your skin called "fractional injuries".
- These "injuries" trigger your body's response to injury, which is to produce collagen and elastin.
- Collagen and elastin are the substances that give your skin a youthful plumpness and springy-ness, which help you regain that glow, firmness and suppleness you had when you were younger.
- The treatment has minimal to no down-time. It will feel like you had a minor sunburn.
- It can be done anywhere on your body. Think stretch marks, acne scars on your back, sun damage on your décolleté, and of course fine lines around your eyes!
- It is safe for all skin types, even if you are sensitive.
It is the perfect complement to our suite of skincare treatments. We are very excited to bring this treatment to you! Questions? Call our Front Desk Coordinators at 609-773-0770.

Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd's proposed acquisition of ING Vysya Bank Ltd through an all-stock merger has received approvals from the shareholders of the two firms in separate extraordinary general meetings held on Wednesday.
The two lenders will now seek approvals from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Competition Commission of India (CCI), among others, to make the merged entity operational, the banks said in separate press releases.
While Kotak Mahindra Bank received approval from 99 per cent of the voting public shareholders, ING Vysya got 89 per cent of the shareholders' approval for the proposed merger.
In November, Kotak Mahindra Bank and ING Vysya announced a deal worth over $2.4 billion.
The deal is the first significant M&A in the banking sector since 2010, when ICICI Bank snapped Bank of Rajasthan, and the second-biggest ever in the sector.
Under the deal, shareholders of ING Vysya will get shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank as per the swap ratio of 725 shares of Kotak for every 1,000 shares held by them in ING Vysya.
The merged firm would have 1,214 branches, 1,794 ATMs, 39,811 employees, total income (based on FY14 numbers) of Rs 13,576 crore and PAT of Rs 3,123 crore; total asset of Rs 1,98,983 crore with advances of Rs 1,20,976 crore and deposits worth Rs 1,10,963 crore.
With this, Kotak would consolidate its position as the fourth-largest private lender in the country, behind ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank.
However, employees and officers of ING Vysya Bank had expressed concerns over job security after the proposed merger. They had gone on a one-day strike on Wednesday coinciding with a cross-industry strike called by one of the banking employee unions.
Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank and ING Vysya Bank rose over 2 per cent each in mid-day trading in a strong Mumbai market on Thursday.

Celebrating Spring & all her beautiful gifts
For months, we've been sitting inside, heating cranked up, willing something outside to bloom and show that first spark of life. Then we are lulled into a false sense of security when a warm spell snaps in March, we don't even have April Fool's Day to blame. Mother Nature though, true to form in Scotland, shuts down any optimism with a cold, wet spell before the temperature does finally rise a few degrees north of 10c and we can emerge from our indoor 'cocoons'.
Winter can feel endless and lifeless but the whole time, tree roots are meticulously taking the temperature above ground and making calculations.
When the time is exactly right, they gather their first 'glob' of sap to send to the tips of the branches and signal the first buds, that delightful, sure sign of spring we savour. At last.
For almost everyone on Earth, Spring seems to be met with jubilation. We're ready for it right? But none are as excited as us Chefs! Colour, sweet shellfish & meats & a whole rainbow of youthful spring veggies are coming.
Here are a few of Andy's Spring Staples…
Wild garlic
The first sign of spring in the chef world is the arrival of wild garlic. Usually found by the banks of a stream or in a wet woodland, you can smell it before you see it.
This wonder veg first comes out in the south of England in February and slowly works it way up the country, not available in the north of Scotland until April or May.
Autumn's root veggies are distant memories and we can start looking at new fresh green and purple leafy goodness. After wild garlic, my favourite is, broccoli, kale, morels, new pine growth, birch and birch sap and lets not forget wild leeks. With Spring veg, it is all about the colour & variety for me!
Conventionally, Lamb is reared to be ready when months old. Knowing that, have you ever seen a new lamb a leaping in the fields in the UK around March, April and wondered how are they fattened up in time for Easter? The answer is, that it is not actually possible. Lamb eaten at Easter time is imported or produced using methods which disturb their natural cycle. Either way, it doesn't sit well with me.
This Easter, buy a hogget, a 1-2 year old lam or mutton, 2+years. It is incredibly delicious and tender and goes very well with homemade mint sauce.
Wood Pigeon
I love them. For some reason there are more available in the Spring. Perhaps it's because the farmers want them off their crops and there is not much else to shoot for the hunters. Rub a little oil over the skin and season well, sear off the outside to get a little colour and stick in the oven at 60C for 10-15mins. Enjoy medium-rare for something that will knock your socks off.
Wild Salmon & Shellfish
After winter's hearty meals, often heavy in meat & carb vegetables, the seasonal flush of jewelled shellfish such as cockles, clams, crab, oysters, mussels & winkles makes for very very happy times.
There is just something about shellfish & the fresh & vibrant flavours of Spring. Pair them with an unplanned Spring evening, a crisp white wine & some good friends & you've got to pinch yourself!
Happy Spring, have fun & be bold with your culinary adventures!

My first summer job was as a certified lifeguard at the public pool. That summer was much like this one, dampened by the all too frequent thunderstorms and deluges of rain. Even still, I spent many afternoons perched under an umbrella, twirling and tooting my whistle while I worked for that eight bucks an hour.
I recently had a conversation with a gal visiting from England. As we watched my children splash and play in a pool, she tried to explain England's national educational curriculum which includes swimming.
According to the Swim England website, swimming and water safety has been a mandatory part of their physical education for primary school children since 1994. As an island nation, England recognized the importance of this skill for their young population.
I'm thankful my lifeguard days made me value safety and swimming skills, and my experience as an emergency department nurse only solidified the necessity of such. That's why this summer's mission was to get my boys comfortable in the water. A few tears (by everyone) and promises for Popsicles later, the Gaynor boys are happily paddling in pools and wrecking otherwise quiet afternoons with squeals of "cannonball!"
I used to be so relaxed, soaking in the sunshine and serenity of whatever body of water. As a lifeguard, I never actually had to save a life or go Baywatch on anybody—what a blessing—but just last week, I jumped in twice. Shoes and all. Oh, the joys (fears) of parenting and play dates! No worries, the little tot was all smiles.
I miss the days of youthful, carefree ignorance. They truly were bliss. But so are the days as Mom—loudly splashing and learning the value of this beautiful life together.
Wishing us all a sunny and safe summer!

Jane Adams reports over on the Digital Money blog:
Now Visa International is working with InCard Technologies, an American company that has come up with something called Power Inlay Technology. The result is a smart card with a screen (or a smart card with a built in light or one that plays annoying jingles - isn't technology wonderful?) and a random number generator. That means the card is capable of generating a dynamic cvv2 for example.
Hoping over to InCardTech, we find, right down the bottom of the page:
|DisplayCard with Additional Information
Depending on the type of payment card in question, a wealth of information useful to the consumer can be conveyed on an easy to read display. All this at the consumers fingertips!
Offering you what you need to know, when you need to know it.
Potentially interesting! What does this mean? Jane says:
It doesn't come with a keypad yet but Visa seems confident that it will.
What does that mean? That means that the arguments about who pays for readers for token based authentication for secure sign on to online banking will become redundant. Who needs a reader if you can tap your PIN directly into the card and the card itself displays your one time passcode?
Whoa, slight confusion there. You still need a reader ... to communicate with the smart card. What you don't necessarily need, in the fullness of time, is an expensive Class 4 secured reader, with its own display, keypad and Go button.
So while this will eliminate some costs, indeed a major cost, costs will remain.
And those costs are still rather traumatic, especially in comparison to your other smart card that already comes with its secure reader, including display and keypad, and soon to include GPS and other handy dandy tracking tools. (your cell/mobile/handy.) So while this may eventually cause smart cards to be independently useful in some universe, I'd suspect it is too little, too late at this stage.
|Also from the Maginot product line, they even have a one time pad card.
in theory, people with cellphones and/or pdas could use their own pin entry device ... and the cellphone/pda could have proximity, near field, bluetooth, &/or wifi ... with point-of-sale (and/or some server).
note that all sorts of things are subject to mitm-attacks ... this mentions possibility of mitm-attacks on terminals (potentially even with dda cards):
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006o.html#16 Gen 2 EPC Protocol Approved as ISO 18000-6C
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006o.html#17 Gen 2 EPC Protocol Approved as ISO 18000-6C
... however there possibly are also MITM-attacks against cards even with class 4 secured reader (aka possibly even overlays similar to what has been used with ATM-machines, counterfeit/compromised operations). this is somewhat related to the finread stuff:
in the case of finread, the terminal is supposedly yours and it is used for your own protection where potentially your own PC (that the finread is attached to) might be compromised (an isolated security boundary supposedly out of reach of common PC compromises)
in the case of a class 4 secured terminal ... there is potential of something like a MITM terminal/overlay between you and the real terminal.
misc. past postings mentioning MITM-attacks
recent near field article:
Near Field Communication Technology Turns Cell Phones into "Debit Cards"
How would you compare this to Mondex's cards?

A map of Eltham's restaurants
After spending January drinking my way round Eltham (coffee only!) for the Eltham cafes map, I have now spent February and March eating my way round Eltham in order to create an Eltham restaurants map. The map shows where all the 20 restaurants are, their contact details and their menus. Menus are available for every single restaurant (although some suffer from my poor photographic skills).
Note that, of the 20 restaurants, 4 specialise in Italian food, 2 Indian, 2 Thai, 1 Chinese and 1 Lebanese. 7 of the 20 are also cafes (i.e. they are open during the day), whilst 13 are open in the evening only. In passing, 12 of the 20 also do takeaway, but that will be the subject for a future newsletter.
News about Eltham cafes
Eltham now has 31 cafes rather than 30! Platform 3095 has just opened and is next to the railway station. They are currently only open during the day and only serving a limited amount of food but Jennifer and Jean Francois have plans to build a kitchen in the near future, at which time they will also open in the evening. They also plan to serve, or use, a variety of local food. Welcome Jennifer and Jean Francois!
Eltham Glasshouse has re-opened with a changed menu after renovations by its new management. Its new owner, Peter, also owns the Dunyazad Lebanese Restaurant in Balwyn North. Welcome Peter!
Both changes above have been included in the Eltham cafes map.

Community gardens news
St Johns Riverside Community Garden, Heidelberg, officially opened on 4th March. More than 50 people turned up, including two Councillors.
The Eltham Living & Learning Centre has a communal veggie garden comprising several, large, raised beds. They meet every Thursday, 9.30-11am. Some of their longstanding gardeners are moving from the area and they are looking for new members. If interested, or for further information, phone either Trevor Roberts (0401 710997) or Karyn Kamminga (9433 3744).
The Northcote Library Food Garden is a communal food garden. Working bees take place on the second Sunday of the month at 10am, except long weekends (so 19th March, 9th April, 14th May, etc).

Mac's tip of the week
"When to pick a pear … well, about now actually. Pears are best picked before they are fully ripe. Picking about 2 weeks before full maturity is best, just when the skin color is starting to change and, if cut, the seeds are turning black. Here's how to test: if the stem breaks off with the fruit when you lift them upwards to be horizontal, then they are ready. If kept at room temperature, they will then (like tomatoes) continue to ripen. If you press your thumb into the neck of the pear and it yields a little then your pear is ready to eat. Until next time, remember: dirty hands are good hands."
Fruits that ripens after being picked are called 'climacteric'. Banana and tomato are the classic examples. Other climacteric fruits include apricot, avocado, custard apple, peach, pear and plum. Fruits that don't ripen at all after being picked are called 'non-climacteric' and they include all citrus, cherry, grape, pineapple and strawberry. Full lists are included in the fruiting schedule on the website.

Do you like Helen Mirren's films?
Winchester is a film currently being shot in Victoria. It stars Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke and is scheduled to be released in either late 2017 or 2018. But the current shooting on location has apparently only been made possible because our local bee man, Frankie, from Bee Rescue, has been hard at work removing a swarm of bees.
Do you want to be on the television?
Channel Nine rang up (yes, really!) to ask if any newsletter readers would like to be on their upcoming cooking show called Family Food Fight. They are looking for families who share a passion for cooking together as a family. The show will be all about celebrating multi cultural families who love to cook traditional cultural recipes that have been in their families for generations. Your 'family' must be made up of 4 people, but they can be any type of relations. Click here to register. To talk to someone, contact James Chadney (Associate Producer) by phone (02 8587 1364) or email.
Two chicken songs and some knee socks
Both Fay Loveland and PIP Magazine suggest that you watch this song by someone called Loren Kate about a chicken called Cloudy Jane.
Neither Fay nor PIP Magazine suggest that you watch this chicken yodelling by someone called Takeo Ischi.

text: Atrial fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat and is one of the leading risk factors for stroke. Irregular heartbeat can cause blood to collect in the left atrial appendage and potentially form a clot, which can travel to a person's brain and cause a stroke. The left atrial appendage is the part of the heart where most blood clots that cause strokes originate in patients with atrial fibrillation.
