A haven for sun-seekers
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the co-capital of the Canaries (sharing this honour with Santa Cruz de Tenerife). A hugely cosmopolitan city of three beaches, it's said by some to have the best climate in the world – gateway to an island that's a haven for sun-seekers all year round.
Plenty of Gran Canaria's shopping options are geared to tourists, particularly in the most established beach resort areas. There are some worthwhile souvenirs to be had – traditional knives and Canarian pottery being two good examples – and on a more practical level you'll never have to look far for beach toys, swimwear and the like. For a substantial retail experience, the largest malls are based around Las Palmas. They include Las Arenas (Carretera del Rinc�n), which has stores such as C&A and Disney. Elsewhere, the classy resort of Meloneras gives good opportunity to pick up designer goods.
Food & Drink
Traditional Canarian food shares many similarities with that of mainland Spain, while at the same time drawing on African influences and throwing in a few home-grown flavours of its own. Classic specialties include papas arrugadas (literally 'wrinkled potatoes') and a sea-bream casserole called vieja sancochada. Sweet-toothed visitors can try the local prickly pear ice cream. There are huge numbers of tourist-friendly restaurants serving pizza and the like, but if it's something refined you're after, try Restaurante La Aquarela (Barranco de la Verga) or Restaurante Amaiur (Calle P�rez Gald�s 2), both of which serve quality seafood dishes.
Festival de M�sica de Canarias
Three decades old, this classical music festival takes place across the whole Canary archipelago, with many of the biggest events taking place on Gran Canaria itself. Well-known international performers are commonplace, while local talent is also showcased.
Carnaval Las Palmas
In place for more than five centuries, the Carnaval Las Palmas is a fast-paced, colourful celebration that occurs in the run-up to Lent and involves a flurry of costumes, masks, parades and musical concerts. Every town and village gets involved.
Gay Pride Maspalomas
Gran Canaria has a strong gay-friendly reputation, something evidenced each year in entertaining fashion by the week of high-octane events that mark Gay Pride Maspalomas. Expect boat trips, pool parties, fashion shows, discos and, at the end of the week, a lively parade.
Virgen del Pino
8 September
One of the most important religious dates on the Canarian calendar, the Virgen del Pino ('Virgin of the Pine') is marked by a mass walk to the village of Teror. It commemorates the date in 1492 when the Virgin is said to have appeared.
Fiesta de la Naval
Gran Canaria has a rich maritime heritage, having been a popular port of call for ships crossing the Atlantic, and this annual fiesta takes place amid considerable fanfare. It primarily remembers the attacks on the island in 1595 by Sir Francis Drake.
Gran Canaria's reputation as a holiday isle means it has a well-stocked supply of hotels. In the south, the ever-popular tourist resort of Playa del Ingl�s is ripe with different options – the five-star Bohemia Suites & Spa (Avenida Estados Unidos 28) makes a good choice for a luxury break, while the three-star Playamar Bungalows (Avenida Estados Unidos de Am�rica 3) is well suited for the mass market. In the north of the island, meanwhile, around the capital city of Las Palmas, Bora Bora The Hotel (Calle Anzof� 31) and the beachfront Hotel Reina Isabel (Calle Alfredo L Jones 40) are both solid bets.

Can you nominate yourself for an Oscar? No, we would like nominations from other people.
Can you nominate more than one piece in a reply? Yes
Can you edit your nomination reply? Yes, but please keep replies organized by month. If you post a nomination for June, please only add June nominations. If you have nominations for July, please make a new reply. This helps our Oscar fairy not get confused.

Mindtaker Miniatures
powered by
Phillip Manning
I have placed at least half-a-dozen orders with
Mindtaker, and everything has always arrived exactly as pictured, well-packaged, and promptly. On top of that, they have great prices.

Selling my old miniatures with Mindtaker has been
an amazingly easy experience. They gave me all the info I needed to pack and ship my old miniatures and once they had them they took care of selling them much faster than I thought possible.

Erik Hansen
These guys are the best, by far. Amazing service
every time I have bought from them, very fast turn around time from paying to it being in my mailbox, and what you see with the product is what you get, honestly sometimes even better. I recommend looking at their products before wasting your time at other stores.

I recently sold some products through Mindtaker
Miniatures, as you can imagine, I was skeptical and nervous. Here I had over $1000 worth of professionally painted product, and I was going to send it to a stranger to shop it out for me. There was such a huge opportunity to get screwed out of a good sum of money, and all my alarm bells were going off. Am I ever glad I ignored them. Mindtakers was not only diligent in response and in action, but actively persued leads to help me move my product. in the end, not only did they get me more than I was asking for - they delivered, constantly, again and again without needing to be prodded. They would reach out and provide me updates and discuss strategies to help ensure the successful sale of my models. Not only would I recommend them to sell your product, I fully intend to use them exclusively to move my unused models in the future. I cant recommend these guys more - and I hope you also take this review into consideration when selling your models.

Michael Onyszczak
Mindtaker have great communications and are very
easy to deal with. Selling on consignment is simple, even via long distance mail, and they pay promptly without dramatics. Also, Mindtaker can sell absolutely anything from the ranges they support. They do their research and always fetch a fair price no matter what you send them with no sweating minor issues such as the state of the models, etc. Have recommended and will do so happily again.

Excellent communication, same day shipping if
ordered early enough, great selection of miniatures. Can't say enough good things about this company. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future. Bonus points for the option to hold purchased miniatures for shipment later so you don't miss out on an excellent deal and have to pay shipping fees multiple times.

Kel Haris
I have been greatly impressed by the service I
received from Mindtaker. I had a large stash of old miniatures laying around that I wanted to offload. The consignment service ended up netting me substantially more cash than I would have received doing the sales myself, and I didn't even have to lift a finger in the process. Additionally, anytime I make a purchase from Mindtaker, communication is superb and timely and shipment is amazingly fast. I cannot recommend the folks at Mindtaker enough. You will not be disappointed working with them.

Alternative To Pretentious Hotels : Small Multi-Functional Plus One Hotel Room
Spamroom – with offices in Berlin -imagined a unique hotel room concept revolving around a creative multi-purpose space arrangement. Located in Berlin's Neukoelln neighborhood, the hotel sheltering this one of a kind concept encouraged the designer to experiment with salvaged materials and expose the city's history. The Plus One Berlin hotel room showcases a versatile functionality serving travelers with a fun, dynamic space lit by restored brass lamps and old copper pipes transformed into custom lamps. Occupying only 30 square meters, the room was conceived to be functional and visually pleasant in spite of its small size. The kitchenette/storage room is made of revamped panel doors and old parquet floor boards, alongside new plywood pieces, as we find out from Designboom. The shape and orientation changes according to traveler's needs, making it easy to use and occupying as much space as possible. This multi-functional unit can also be used for storing clothes and its undecided composition is reminiscent of today's creative displays of old and new materials.

The 1st prize winning design is Sankofa House by the design team: M.A.M.O.T.H from France
The 2nd prize winner is Eban Aya by Atelier Koe in Senegal
The 3rd prize is awarded to Ejisu Earth House by Jason Orbe-Smith in USA.
The competition was open to recent graduates and students of architecture, design and others from around the world. The challenge was to design a single-family unit on a plot of 60 x 60 feet to be built by maximum use of earth and local labor in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The client of the design entry is the middle-income family at any township in the region. Total costs of constructing the design entry was capped at $6,000; land value was excluded from this price point. The competition was designed to: (1) to generate mud house design alternatives to be available free to everyone to appreciate, use, or improve them to generate more practical and contemporary design solutions for the region; and (2) to make possible the construction of the best design entries through building workshops to realize prototypes, as examples to the local people that mud architecture can be durable and beautiful.
The jury involved a preselection jury and grand jury by use of judging criteria involving functionality, aesthetics and technical matters. Twenty top finalists were chosen by the Preselection Jury of architects, professors and administrators with relevant expertise, which were forwarded to the Grand Jury of architecture professors and others who are established in earth architecture. From the Top 20 Design Entries, three prize-winning designs were selected. Prizes for first, second and third place consist of a commemorative plaque and a choice of cash reward or construction of winning design in Ghana. Every design team of the Top 20 Design Entries receives a certificate of recognition.
What is next?
Nka Foundation is issuing a challenge to builders, architecture professors and architects worldwide who know how architecture is localized, uses the means and the materials available in the site to create a friendly building to the environment. Join us as a workshop director or a participant to realize the winning designs from our 2014 Mud House Design competition in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Each prototyping workshop will run for about 10 weeks. Participants can join at any time and participate for a minimum of 1 month. Students can use the workshop opportunity to fulfil the academic requirements for their stage/internship, thesis, or volunteer just for learning-by-doing on a vernacular architecture project. Here are all submitted design entries: http://nkaprojects.boards.net/thread/30/submitted-entries-1st-list Please, take a look!

Parathyroid cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of a parathyroid gland.
The parathyroid glands are four pea-sized organs found in the neck near the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands make parathyroid hormone (PTH or parathormone). PTH helps the body use and store calcium to keep the calcium in the blood at normal levels.
Anatomy of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. The thyroid gland lies at the base of the throat near the trachea. It is shaped like a butterfly, with the right lobe and left lobe connected by a thin piece of tissue called the isthmus. The parathyroid glands are four pea-sized organs found in the neck near the thyroid. The thyroid and parathyroid glands make hormones.
A parathyroid gland may become overactive and make too much PTH, a condition called hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism can occur when a benign tumor (noncancer), called an adenoma, forms on one of the parathyroid glands, and causes it to grow and become overactive. Sometimes hyperparathyroidism can be caused by parathyroid cancer, but this is very rare.
The extra PTH causes:
This condition is called hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood).
The hypercalcemia caused by hyperparathyroidism is more serious and life-threatening than parathyroid cancer itself and treating hypercalcemia is as important as treating the cancer.
Having certain inherited disorders can increase the risk of developing parathyroid cancer.
Anything that increases the chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Risk factors for parathyroid cancer include the following rare disorders that are inherited (passed down from parent to child):
Treatment with radiation therapy may increase the risk of developing a parathyroid adenoma.
Possible signs of parathyroid cancer include weakness, feeling tired, and a lump in the neck.
Most parathyroid cancer symptoms are caused by the hypercalcemia that develops. Symptoms of hypercalcemia include the following:
Other symptoms of parathyroid cancer include the following:
Other conditions may cause the same symptoms as parathyroid cancer. Check with your doctor if you have any of these problems.
Tests that examine the neck and blood are used to detect (find) and diagnose parathyroid cancer.
Once blood tests are done and hyperparathyroidism is diagnosed, imaging tests may be done to help find which of the parathyroid glands is overactive. Sometimes the parathyroid glands are hard to find and imaging tests are done to find exactly where they are.
Parathyroid cancer may be hard to diagnose because the cells of a benign parathyroid adenoma and a malignant parathyroid cancer look alike. The patient's symptoms, blood levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone, and characteristics of the tumor are also used to make a diagnosis.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
After parathyroid cancer has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread to other parts of the body is called staging. The following imaging tests may be used to determine if cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the lungs, liver, bone, heart, pancreas, or lymph nodes:
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
There is no standard staging process for parathyroid cancer.
Parathyroid cancer is described as either localized or metastatic:
Recurrent parathyroid cancer is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. More than half of patients have a recurrence. The parathyroid cancer usually recurs between 2 and 5 years after the first surgery, but can recur up to 20 years later. It usually comes back in the tissues or lymph nodes of the neck. High blood calcium levels that appear after treatment may be the first sign of recurrence.
There are different types of treatment for patients with parathyroid cancer.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with parathyroid cancer. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Treatment includes control of hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) in patients who have an overactive parathyroid gland.
In order to reduce the amount of parathyroid hormone that is being made and control the level of calcium in the blood, as much of the tumor as possible is removed in surgery. For patients who cannot have surgery, medication may be used. See the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.
Four types of standard treatment are used:
Surgery (removing the cancer in an operation) is the most common treatment for parathyroid cancer that is in the parathyroid glands or has spread to other parts of the body. Because parathyroid cancer grows very slowly, cancer that has spread to other parts of the body may be removed by surgery in order to cure the patient or control the effects of the disease for a long time. Before surgery, treatment is given to control hypercalcemia.
The following surgical procedures may be used:
Surgery for parathyroid cancer sometimes damages nerves of the vocal cords. There are treatments to help with speech problems caused by this nerve damage.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Supportive care
Supportive care is given to lessen the problems caused by the disease or its treatment. Supportive care for hypercalcemia caused by parathyroid cancer may include the following:
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
Parathyroid cancer often recurs. Patients should have regular check-ups for the rest of their lives, to find and treat recurrences early.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works.

Lloyd Price
If all he made was "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," Lloyd Price would still be in the Rock Hall.
The New Orleans-influenced smash was a pivotal moment in the development of rock and roll. But Mr. Personality didn't stop there—he continued to make chart-toppers while trying his hand in every aspect of the music business.
Lloyd Price is widely known as "Mr. Personality," a nickname copped from one his best-known songs, "Personality," from 1959.
Among the premier rhythm & blues singers of the Fifties and Sixties, the Louisiana native can also claim a host of other talents: musician, bandleader, songwriter, producer, record-company executive and booking agent. In his prime he recorded for the Specialty and ABC-Paramount labels.
The bulk of his R&B sides were cut for Specialty and bear the hallmark of the New Orleans sound. His biggest R&B hit, "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," was an original song produced by Dave Bartholomew and featuring Fats Domino on piano. Based on a commercial jingle he wrote, "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" topped the R&B charts for seven weeks in 1952.
It was also widely covered, both in the Fifties and beyond, by the likes of Elvis Presley (who performed it on his 1968 NBC TV special), the Buckinghams, John Lennon and Elvis Costello. "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" is a rhythm & blues classic that helped give birth to rock and roll.
Price recorded more hits during his early-Fifties tenure at Specialty, but his career was interrupted by the Korean War. Upon returning from three years of service, he launched KRC (Kent Record Company) with Harold Logan, a longtime friend and collaborator. A shrewd businessman, Price leased his recordings to ABC-Paramount, thereby retaining control of his music while receiving national distribution. His most renowned recording came with "Stagger Lee," an R&B remake of the folk-blues standard "Stack-o-Lee" that topped the pop and R&B charts. Recorded versions of the song date back to the Twenties, but Price's "takes the prize," according to Greil Marcus in a detailed analysis of the song's roots and evolution. "Price's record was hard rock, driven by a wailing sax, and in retrospect his manic enthusiasm seems to be what many earlier versions lacked," wrote Marcus.
Price's biggest year was 1959, during which he released four hits: "Personality," "Where Were You (On Our Wedding Day)," "I'm Gonna Get Married" and "Come Into My Heart." His entrepreneurial skill led to the helming of more labels (Double-L and Turntable), as well as a New York City nightclub (Lloyd Price's Turntable). Double-L launched the recording career of Wilson Pickett in 1963. Price continued to place his own recordings on the R&B charts into the Seventies. Meanwhile, he performed around the country with a nine-piece band while keeping a resourceful hand in various other entrepreneurial pursuits and ventures.

Sailboat Winches, Winch Handles and Accessories
Powerful and high quality sailboat winches are important for the types of high loads encountered on sheets, guys, halyards and other control lines. On larger boats, the ideal winch will help you reel in a line and increase tension, saving your arms for other tasks. Plain top sailboat winches will require you to tail the loose end to keep tension on your turns while operating the winch. Self tailing winches free up the hand from the loose end of the rope and facilitating better handling of the winch and winch handle. Electrical winches are available as a solution to short-handed or overpowered sailing. We at Mauri Pro Sailing provide a wide assortment of top rate Winches from dependable brands of Antal, Harken, and Lewmar. Winches are also sold based on material as well, whether you want the light weight of an aluminum winch, an appealing chrome sailboat winch or if you are looking for the visual aesthetic of a stainless steel yacht winch. Technical assistance is provided to help you select the perfect primary genoa winches, secondary winches, halyard winches or specialty winches for racing or cruising.
Replacing old Sailboat Winches
When replacing an old sailboat winch, the new winch doesn't need to have the exact same specifiations as the old one. It is reccomended to select a replacement winch that is similiar in size and has at least the same power ratio as your old winch. Also, consider whether your old winch had sufficient power to bring your sails to full trim or hoist with a reasonable amount of effort. Many older boats used winches that are under specified by today's standards and in many cases it can be benificial to upgrade a winch to a more powerful size instead of just replacing your boat's old winch. Another consideration to remember is that in many cases Meissner, Barient and Barlow winches did not use the same numbering scheme as modern Harken, Anderson and Lewmar winches. In the case of Harken, Anderson and Lewmar winches the number of a winch is aproximently the power ratio of a that winch. So for example an old Harken 44.2 winch had a power ration of 44 and a Harken Radial 46.2 Self tailing winch has a power ratio of 46.5.
About Electric Sailboat Winches
Electric Winches are an excellent upgrade for the cruising sailor who is looking for improved convience when sailing shorthanded. We offer a variety of electric winches to suit every boat and sailor's need. Innovative electric winches like the Harken Unibody radial winches help save on room and power usage, allowing electric winches to be installed on more places in more boats. One of the newest innovations in electric winches for sailboats is the reversible electric winches. Reversible winches such as the Harken Rewind electric winches and the Lewmar REVO winches allow the sheet to be sheeted in and out at the push of a button, allowing true push button sail control.
About Sailboat Winch Handles and Accessories
We offer Winch handles to meet the requirements of any sailor. We have 10 inch winch handles as well as more compact 8 inch winch handes available as Standard grip, palm grip and double grip winch hande styles. Note that a 10 inch winch handle gives a winch the power ratio that it is rated for while an 8 inch winch handle provides less power but more speed for sheeting in quickly, great for light air or small boats. Harken winch handles, Lewmar winch handles and Dax one touch winch handles are available in a variety of versions along with Antal winch handles and the winchrite electric winch handle.

Every Wednesday, food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius. This week: a tart crust that loves you back, from Parisian pastry expert Paule Caillat.
Sometimes it's fun to be bossed around by your pastry. There's something gratifying about signing a sadomasochistic agreement with butter and flour and water and ending up with pie.But -- and this is especially true for novice bakers and anyone prone to panicking in the face of dough -- it's also nice to take it easy, skip a few of the more traditionally gruelling steps, and still end up with pie.And there isn't a friendlier, more easy-going pastry dough than Paule Caillat's family recipe for pate sucree. Every time you make it, it's giving you a high five, instead of hollering for you to do another lap and 20 push-ups.
Caillat (above), founder of Promenades Gourmandes, a cooking school in Paris, was taught this recipe by her husband's grandmother and her sister (who had studied at Le Cordon Bleu in the 1930s but learned this method from a neighbor). "These two ladies, Mémé and Tante Léo, never left France in their entire life, and now their recipe is repeated all over the world," Caillat wrote in an email. "I like this idea."Here's how it works: You slide a Pyrex bowl filled with mostly butter, plus small but crucial amounts of oil, water, sugar, and salt, into a hot oven till the mixture is sputtering and the butter is golden and flecked with brown. Then you pull it out and quickly stir the flour in -- it sizzles and foams angrily for a moment, then settles into a rich malleable sludge.
Caillat's instructions here are vague and intuitive ("Flour as necessary; till it pulls off the sides of the bowl"); but David Lebovitz -- who first published Caillat's then-secret recipe in 2009 -- kindly supplies a measurement for those of us who need more hand-holding (5 ounces, or a mounded cupful).Once the dough is cool enough to handle, you'll pat and press it into a tart pan and bake it straightaway. Because you don't have to roll it or wait for it to chill, you can go from "Hm, tart sounds good" to finished crust in about 40 minutes -- no matter how cramped, hot, or humid your kitchen might be.
The finished tart shell is crumbly and sandy, like a good shortbread, with that barely sweet, haunting quality that brown butter always brings to the table. It's also inexplicably flaky: You haven't laid the groundwork for those layers, which normally require you to cut pockets of icy butter into flour, but there they are.
Be forewarned that the crust will crack less with European-style butter like Plugra, which has a slightly lower water (and higher fat) content than typical American butter, but David Lebovitz recommends a brilliant patching technique for those cracks anyway -- just reserve a small knob of dough to spackle into any cracks after baking. (No need to bake again.)Slick it with chocolate ganache, sweetened mascarpone, or lemon curd. And if you find yourself missing the sick demands of pastry-making, apply yourself to lining up concentric rings of summer berries across the top, just so. Paule Caillat's Brown Butter Tart Crust
For 6 servings (one 8 1/2" or 21 cm shell with removable bottom)

KRALENDIJK, Netherlands, July 6 (UPI) -- Conservationists on the Dutch-owned Caribbean island of Bonaire said they made a human wall to help guide just-hatched baby loggerhead turtles to the sea.
Loggerhead turtles hatched all across Bonaire Monday and began crawling toward water, ABC News reported.
One group needed a little help finding its way, Dr. Sue Willis, the program director of Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire, told ABC News.
"This group of baby turtles hatched on a beach next to an airport," Willis said. "After the turtles hatch they crawl toward the brightest light they see, which is usually the moon over the ocean. But the airport's bright lights distract the turtles and make them crawl in the wrong direction. Two years ago we lost an entire group of hatchlings after they crawled onto a busy road."
This year, Willis and a number of volunteers decided to help guide the 113 turtles, which are an endangered species, safely to the ocean.
"We created a human wall of sorts," Willis said. "We surround the baby turtles on both sides so that they cannot see the airport lights. We give them ample space to crawl and form a line all the way down to the ocean so they stay on path."

[media-credit id=258 align="alignleft" width="495″][/media-credit]
When photographer Judy Walgren moved to Colorado from Texas some years ago she asked me, generally, what did I carry in my car? So I gave her a list. The List. She was stunned: "Really Dean?" She asked somewhat taken aback.
Ummmm, well… yeah. Really.
What's in my car at any given time depends on the season and whatever particular outdoor thing I'm involved in or think I might be involved in. You never know when your boss might just say, "Hey, you're doing such a great job why don't you take the rest of the day off and do something fun!" That's never happened, but it could — even though I wasn't a Boy Scout I'd hate to be unprepared.
Part of carrying so much stuff is the preparedness thing. Tooling around in the back country means you could find yourself in any number of iffy situations: off the road in an icy ditch, stranded or stuck in a snowstorm or as once happened in Idaho, trying to change a flat tire with really stubborn lug nuts at night while trying to fend off rattlesnakes. Well okay, only two rattlesnakes and they seemed to be merely passing through.

Doing Better than Better
To reduce the nation's petroleum use and carbon emissions, the energy industry and government policies are promoting the use of biodiesel and other non-petroleum biofuels. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that by 2035 biofuel usage will have grown by approximately 250 percent. However, even though many biofuels are more environmentally friendly than their petroleum-based counterparts, not all biofuels are created equal.
The Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance supports and promotes LOCAL, SUSTAINABLE production and distribution models for biodiesel in the U.S. Community-Scale production models that use a local waste stream or renewable resource to produce fuel and then distribute that fuel within the community maximize the positive environmental, economic and social benefits biodiesel has to offer. Low-cost environmentally friendly energy creates jobs and keeps fuel purchase dollars in the community.
Sadly, much of the biodiesel created in the United States is not created with U.S. Energy Security or Environmental Stewardship in mind. Much of U.S. Biodiesel is created on a bulk-scale with little or no regard for sustainability. A large portion of this fuel is then sold and shipped overseas (passing the environmental health benefits on to a foreign consumer).
The Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance supports the use of community-based production models that benefit American communities environmentally, economically and socially. Certifying a Sustainable product for U.S. consumers is the end-goal of the organization.
The Case For Certification
The biodiesel market has been lacking a method of analyzing and identifying the life-cycle effects of biofuels on carbon emissions and other environmental indicators – until now.
Recognizing the need for objective environmental standards to measure the overall sustainability of producing and using biodiesel, the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance (SBA) has created a certification process for evaluation and branding of biodiesel production. Independent Auditors across the country will use audit materials adapted from the SBA's established Baseline Practices for Sustainability to objectively evaluate the feedstock providers, producers, distributors and end users of biodiesel. Kelly King, chairperson of the SBA, had this to say, "We are dedicated to providing consumers with the information they need to make informed choices, and we are confident that the public wants to support locally-sourced, low-carbon fuels. Smarter consumers can mean a big boost for U.S. agriculture and local economies, as well as for the environment."
The SBA was founded in December 2006 to advance the production and use of community-based biodiesel with the recognition that locally produced biodiesel offers maximum environmental, economic and energy security benefits. The new Sustainable Biodiesel Certification standards will focus on evaluating the following environmental aspects: locally harvested feedstock crops that reduce transportation impacts, sustainable manufacturing operations at the production phase, reduced transportation impacts of distributors, and recognition of end users for reducing overall carbon footprint.
Educating Communities
In addition to proven environmental and community-health benefits, community-based biodiesel gives local economies revenue and job generating opportunities that petroleum diesel and large-scale national biodiesel can not. By keeping fuel and energy dollars spent in the community and supporting local renewable energy projects, simply through educated purchasing, local fleets, businesses and individual consumers can make a tangible difference in improving the air quality and community-health in their own backyard.
Even consumers who do not own a diesel vehicle can consider other options to support local biodiesel in their community. Using BioHeat in your heat oil furnace as an alternative to petroleum can support local biodiesel producers and significantly reduce the emissions generated by your furnace. Community members can encourage their school bus fleets to run Biodiesel in their vehicles in order to vastly improve the air quality for student passengers and support local renewable energy initiatives. Waste management, US Mail, Local distribution companies and many more all operate on diesel powered fleets. Everyone of these areas and many more are opportunities to expand local biodiesel use and reduce carbon emissions in communities. You as an individual can make a difference. All you have to do is raise your voice.
You are not alone. The Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance is dedicated to providing educational seminars and training materials to help inform fleets in all sectors of the environmental and community benefits of locally produced biodiesel fuel. By educating the decision makers we believe that we can show the financial, social and environmental benefits of energy produced sustainably in our own communities.
Every year Billions of gallons of diesel fuel are consumed in the United States. The large majority of all funds used to purchase this energy, whether it be through direct dollars spent or tax subsidies goes to businesses overseas. Very little of this money stays in our communities or even in our country. Together we can support American innovation, American businesses and a community-based, clean energy future for this nation.

(Preparing for) Speech & Hearing Sciences
Program Description
The 90 credit Associate in Arts transfer degree is designed to meet the general education requirements at Washington State four-year institutions and prepares students for a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences or Communication Disorders. A Master's degree is considered an entry level requirement for employment, therefore most students enter graduate programs to practice in the field.
Speech and Hearing Sciences — What is it?
Speech and Hearing Sciences prepares students to work with patients who have speech, language or hearing disorders. Typically, speech pathologists treat clients with speech and language problems, while audiologists assess, diagnose and treat hearing loss and balance disorders. In both professions, early detection and prevention screening are important for the treatment and remediation of communication disorders.
Areas of Study in Speech and Language Sciences:
Phonetics, Audiometry, Speech Anatomy and Physiology, Neuroanatomy, Language Development, Language and Literacy, Motor Speech Disorders, Hearing Disorders, Aural Rehabilitation, Dysphasia, Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Disorders, Assessment and Diagnostics, Bilingual and Cultural Issues, Research Methods and Professional Ethics.
Career Opportunities — What can I do with a Graduate Degree in Speech Pathology?
The field of Communication Disorders requires graduate study, certification and licensure
to practice. Speech Pathologists and Audiologists develop strong communication, critical
thinking, problem solving and technical skills to identify, evaluate, manage and treat
people with communication disorders. While most Speech Pathologists and Audiologists
work in public schools, others teach, conduct research and serve as consultants to
government and industry.
Potential employers include:
Public and Private Schools, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Rehabilitation Centers, Government Agencies, Private Practice, Business and Industry. For more, please visit Career Counseling.
Transfer Possibilities — Where can I transfer?
An Associate Degree from Shoreline makes it possible for students to transfer to public and private colleges and universities throughout the U.S. with junior standing. Shoreline also has agreements with several universities to make transferring even ea sier. For transfer within Washington State, we offer a special degree called the AA-DTA . For international students, Shoreline also has conditional admission agreements that allow a student to be simultaneously accepted by Shoreline and a university of the student's choosing.

June is upon us and we are settling in for some summer reading. Join us as we catch up with our international correspondents about the literary happenings around the world. This week brings us the latest on indigenous literature from Colombia and Mexico, book fairs in Argentina, and new artistic endeavors in Indonesia!
Paul Worley and Kelsey Woodburn, Editors at Large, reporting from Colombia and Mexico:
From April 25 to 29 in Bogotá, Colombia, indigenous writers and scholars and critics of indigenous literatures from throughout the Américas came together in the 5th Continental Intercultural Encounter of Amerindian Literatures (EILA). The theme for this iteration of the bi-annual conference was "Indigenous Writing, Extractivism, and Bird Songs." The centering of these concerns reflects a turn in the field of Indigenous literatures towards recognizing indigenous ways of writing that take place beyond Latin script, as well as ongoing ecological concerns that are at the heart of a good deal of indigenous literatures and Indigenous activism. In addition to literary readings and panels held at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, writers and critics presented to the general public at Bogotá's International Book Festival (FILBO), and indigenous poets gave a reading in the town of Guatavita, home to a lake sacred to the Muisca people. Among the writers in attendance were (K'iche') Humberto Ak'abal, (Yucatec) Jorge Cocom Pech, (Wayuu) Vito Apüshana, (Wayuu) Estercilla Simanca, (Wayuu) Vicenta Siosi, and (Yanakuna) Fredy Chicangana.
