Enhancing our kitchens with Thermador for over a century
December 30, 2019 December 25, 2019 by NC Appliance Repair
Ranges, stoves and ovens from Thermador are built like tanks. If you are a PRO Chef or just learning how to cook, Thermador has some of the best cook tops money can buy.Unfortunately, even the best of appliances break. If you live in Charlotte NC area and your thermador range acting up, call us today: (704) 343-6500Thermador has been making the American kitchen more attractive and also more powerful with innovative appliances for over 100 years. From the very start, the brand was known to introduce cutting-edge kitchen appliances that took the cooking experience to the next level. With the introduction of revolutionary devices like first built-in oven and cooktop, first self-cleaning oven, steam and convection and induction technology, Thermador has transformed the heart of the home.
1916 – In the year that Thermador was founded
Kitchens were workrooms without a lot of frills or excesses. Even though the first electric refrigerator had just been introduced, only about 10% of the homes in the country had electricity at all, and those that did only had enough to power their lights, not appliances, too!
So ranges were free-standing metal behemoths that were either wood or coal burning, and some of the newer ones ran on natural gas. These stoves heated the water for the home and provided any hot water that a home had, too.
Thermador's focus at this point was on portable and built-in heaters, which must have helped improve the warmth of homes during this time period!
1920s – More personality in homes and kitchens
This was the decade that people starting showing a bit more personality in their homes, and in their kitchens. There was more color and style, so appliances weren't just utilitarian. But there were still very few electric appliances in most homes.
1930s – Electric appliances
By 1930s, most people in cities and large towns had electricity in their homes, but rural areas didn't. Electric appliances were becoming more popular, as well as gas ranges and stovetops.
In 1932, Thermador began manufacturing appliances, including built-in models. Until this time, ranges had been treated like furniture and were free-standing, but having new fuel sources like gas or electricity made a big difference in where and how an oven could be placed in a kitchen.
Kitchens were also becoming bigger and often had tables and chairs for breakfast areas, making them transition into the heart of the home.
1940s – the period of Innovations
This was a decade of innovation, mainly due to the new advances in manufacturing and design. Inspiration was found in aerodynamic styling for planes, cars, and trains, and more people were using stainless and chrome in the kitchen.
Gadgets were also key, including automatic timers, gauges, and controls. Thermador was part of this innovative period, introducing the first wall oven in 1947, along with stainless steel appliances. And in 1948, the company also introduced the very first pro range for residential kitchens.
Color was a fun addition to kitchens in the '40s, too, including red and white, or blue and yellow to match the fun gingham patterns that became popular around this time.
Refrigerators and freezers became common in kitchens during this decade, with most in white or cream colors. And linoleum was the go-to floor covering for most of these rooms.
1950s – The "kitchen of the future"
Most homeowners began dreaming about during this space age decade, so chrome became the material of choice for a lot of appliances and furnishings in the kitchen. Built-in cabinets were common and they were often painted in bright colors. Linoleum was the top floor covering and Formica was the futuristic choice for the counters.
It was also a decade for eating out and entertaining, mainly due to an improvement in the economy. People began to notice advances and ideas in restaurants that they wanted in their own homes, like the warming drawer that Thermador introduced in 1952.
Homeowners were able to provide elegant touches liked warmed plates that were previously only something they would see in a top restaurants.
1960s – ahead of the curve
This decade was all about time savings as more women entered the workplace. Thermador was once again ahead of this trend with its 1963 introduction of its first self-cleaning oven!Dishwashers were becoming much more popular too, although most had to be rolled back and forth from the sink because very few kitchens had built-in space for them yet.Natural wood was the most popular for cabinetry, and appliances still came in a wide range of colors to fit most any decor in the kitchen.
1930s – kitchens got a little crazy
Just like fashions from this decade, kitchens got a little crazy, with odd colors like mustard and avocado taking a turn in cabinets, appliances, and even sinks. It was all about "natural" and earth tones, so kitchens, as a result, were darker. Convenience was still key and by 1975, more microwaves were sold than gas ranges. Thermador made things quick and easy for homeowners, with introductions like its "smooth top" material for cooktops in 1970, developed by Corning.
And Thermador's Speedcooking oven, introduced in 1976, combined thermal heat with microwave technology to cook food 35% faster.
1980s – about the family as a whole
This was a much more conservative era, in the kitchens and out, so most appliances were back to basics in black, white, and ivory.
Kitchens were becoming less of a "woman's domain" and more about the family as a whole, so there were more breakfast nooks and gathering places like peninsula islands.
Thermador wasn't slowing down with its innovations and introductions in the '80s. The company introduced a Super Burner in 1982, with high-power burners that had an output of 11,500 BTUs, which was unmatched at the time! And in 1987, Thermador launched its sealed gas burner with an automatic re-ignition.
1990s – the Star Burner
Open-plan kitchens were all the rage by the '90s, particularly those that had islands and butcher-block counters. Appliances were really only black and white, and tile floors were super-popular.Thermador added even more innovation to its offerings with two patented introductions. In 1994, the super-low burner debuted, which cycles the flame on and off to keep the heat low, allowing cooks to melt chocolate or create delicate sauces without scorching!In 1998, Thermador's iconic Star Burner was introduced, creating greater heat coverage with a perimeter that is 56% bigger than traditional round burners.
2000s – largest and most powerful induction cooktop
Clean white kitchens were all the rage in this decade, and stainless steel ranges and appliances were just about all you could buy for a new kitchen. Professional grade appliances started to really grow in popularity, particularly larger gas ranges.Thermador was ahead of the curve once again, with this decade showcasing many new innovations from the company, including a Jet Impingement oven in 2002, featuring directed jets of air that sped cooking by 75%. In 2006, Thermador introduced modular refrigeration with its Freedom Collection, a new concept that gives homeowners flexibility and customization in creating food storage solutions.Thermador also launched the first convection warming drawer in 2006, and the largest and most powerful induction cooktop, which also included sensor technology, in 2009. That same year, Thermador's Sapphire dishwasher also made its debut, with the largest wine glass capacity and its fabulous Sapphire Glow light.
2010s – focus of the kitchen
Thanks to the influx of both cooking shows and food delivery services, cooking full and healthy meals is once again the focus of the kitchen. Thermador introduced the innovative Steam and Convection Oven that defrosts, steams, proofs, bakes, slow cooks and even reheats food to perfection! Steam cooking continues to grow in popularity within the American kitchen, as more cooks recognize the health benefits of this type of cooking.From a design perspective, counters can be everything from marble to granite to stainless to wood, and tile backsplashes and wallpaper are back in decor. It's also all about personalization now, which Thermador spearheaded earlier in the 2000s with its Freedom Collection. And covering appliances with panels that match the cabinetry is on trend.

The Bridge and Tunnel Construction industry plays a vital role in ensuring road and rail networks reach every area of the United Kingdom and are maintained properly. The road system is predominantly funded by the public sector through Highways England and local authorities in England, and comparable agencies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK rail infrastructure network is predominantly managed by state-associated agencies, notably Network Rail and Transport for London, so the contracts that industry operators work on are often bankrolled by public bodies. Apart from transport infrastructure, contractors also work on projects for water and sewerage companies, energy companies and, in some instances, commercial or industrial market clients...read more.
The geographic spread of bridge and tunnel construction activity across the United Kingdom broadly corresponds with the national distribution of economic activity and population. Highly populated regions require more extensive transport and utility networks to accommodate sustained use. There is currently a high concentration of bridge and tunnel construction activity in the South East and London regions as stakeholders in the transport and utility infrastructure markets have commissioned a plethora of high-profile and -value developments. These include the Crossrail high-capacity rail development, the Thames Tideway Scheme to construction a 25-kilometre affluent conveyance tunnel, and enabling works for the High Speed 2 (HS2) whistle-stop rail line...purchase to read more.
IBISWorld analysts also discuss how external factors such as Government capital expenditure and Demand from railway and underground railway construction in the Bridge & Tunnel Construction industry impact industry performance..

I am from Brisbane, and somewhat ironically, my original ticket out of this city was the G20 analysis I conducted while studying and working at the University of Queensland. In a serendipitous turn of events, Australia and my hometown city were announced as 2014 G20 hosts during that research, which paved the way for my shift to Sydney in 2013 to join the G20 Studies Centre at the Lowy Institute. That in turn led to an opportunity to conduct some study in Europe, where I'm now based.
So I have essentially spent the last two years in willingly self-imposed exile from Brisbane, writing about Brisbane.
Yet in coming back to the city now to cover the Summit, after four years of intensive G20 analysis and thinking about what this Summit might (or might not) achieve, it has been rather bemusing to find my city completely zombified. My focus is primarily on the content of what will happen inside the Brisbane Convention and Entertainment Centre (BCEC) where the summit is being held, on Brisbane's South Bank. But the ultimate impact of any G20 ultimately comes down to what leaders are able to achieve once they go home, and it is important that the punters on the street aren't left with deep feelings of resentment towards the G20 once the Summit is over.
If the voting public's memory of the G20 is negative (perhaps even angry), it is less likely that any leader will be all that motivated to follow through on commitments made within the forum. A google search of 'Toronto' and 'G20' will give you some insight into how things can go very wrong, and all of the destruction and violence that happened at that 2010 event.
It is hard to say with any confidence how Brisbanites feel towards this weekend's Summit – if only because there are hardly any around. Walking across to the Summit site yesterday from City Hall (in the middle of the CBD) felt a bit like starring in my own post-apocalyptic movie. Workers in the city were given the day off so as to minimise congestion, and almost everyone I know leapt at the opportunity to head to the beach for the weekend.
However the 'de-congestion' policies appear to have worked so well that Brisbane City Council is now concerned that all of the thousands of delegates at the Summit will come away with the impression that Brisbane is a ghost town (I do love this city, but to be fair, they would hardly be the first to draw this conclusion, G20 summit or no). Brisbane is, believe it or not, usually a pretty bustling place on a sunny Saturday, but the opportunity to be mowed down by a speeding motorcade doesn't seem to have pulled that many rubberneckers into town.
The media centre has been a little more lively, with world leaders wandering in and out, and various agencies like the IMF and OECD giving 'door-stop' press conferences outside the 'cubicle streets' in the BCEC, which are all named for Australian cities. As an aside, for anyone who thinks the US President doesn't possess pulling power, his speech at the University of Queensland today has been the only one to cause all of the journalists in the media centre to down tools and gawk at the big screens in silence. Earlier, I sat in the press conference with UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon with about 40 other people, but from experience, on any other day he could have filled out his very own auditorium.
Otherwise, the only really noticeable human activity going on within the vicinity of the Summit site are 6000 sweaty police, a handful of Falun Gong protestors, and a lone monk bearing a placard asking G20 leaders to give peace a chance. I have heard there are a few hundred protestors across the river near City Hall, but as today's mercury moves up to a sweltering 35 degrees, I sympathise with anyone who can think of somewhere better to be that is not in Brisbane's willpower-draining sun.
All in all, the G20 Summit might not have fully won over the people of Brisbane as of yet due to its on-ground inconveniences, but nor will it have the damaging legacy of the Toronto Summit. But is that better? I am not sure, perhaps the only thing worse than being protested about is not being protested about – at least it shows your decisions will have an important impact, be they for better or worse.


Working with me, you will gain clarity on your next steps, feel deeply heard, and have renewed hope for your future.
I can help you make decisions that are right for you.
If you are the one deciding to leave the relationship, you may be experiencing guilt about the impact your decision will have on the people you love and care about.
You may be concerned about finances and how everything is going to work out.
During this process, you may decide to leave your marriage, or you may decide to stay. Whatever you decide to do, the end result is ensuring that you are confident in the choices you make.
Whether you are still living with your partner or living separately, you are likely in the process of re-defining yourself.
Learning to manage your emotions as you interact with your ex can be a confusing and draining process.
You can count on me to hold a safe place — just for you — without judging you.
We will work together to make informed choices which align with your highest values.
You now have the opportunity to experience the benefits of your divorce as you fully unleash your strength and capacity for self-care and compassion.
Your confidence will grow and you will start to experience yourself as a more empowered and capable person as you step into a new sense of mastery over your life.
We work together to open your heart again, and completely transform the way you enter into relationships.


I was diagnosed at 4 and I'm 57 now, no complications and I don't remember a time I didn't give shots - This type of diabetes judgement call is pretty normal for me.
Interesting how much Lantus you're giving - right now I'm at a total dosage of 32 units - 18 at night and 14 in the morning and I went low twice yesterday (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) - I suspect I may need to cut back but we will see how things go today.
Type 2 here, so I don't have a dog in the insulin-dosage fight. But many of us are saddled with doctors who haven't learned much new about diabetes since they left med school a couple of decades ago while we here, as the people with diabetes, have dived into newer research and findings and have some ideas about treatment that haven't yet muscled into the mainstream.
Doctors are involved if they seem amenable (results seem to help a lot) but some of us are comfortable taking on management of our own illness even if it bucks "conventional wisdom". So long as it's biologically sound and doesn't hurt anyone else.
This article is from 2007, but Dr. Bernstein's opinion then was that there was no 24 hour insulin.
I'm a non-insulin user, but his reasoning sounds logical to me.
Hey Cassie2922 - Guess What? My doctor switched me to Tresiba from Lantus. I will give it a try tonight for the first time. Thanks for the suggestion!
Wow!!! That's great. Did he tell you to use the same dosage as Lantus? I'm eager to hear if it is stronger for you.
My doctor suggested I try 24 units based on the 28 - 32 I was taking with Lantus. I'm going with 22 units of triseba tonight and I will be testing my BGs probably twice as much as normal until I'm confident I'm taking the right approach - that being under estimating and slowly increasing until I meet the appropriate amount. This will mark the 5th time I've changed insulin over the past 52 years. For me under-estimating (assuming that I am) is usually the best approach.
If I run high on the BG count tomorrow. I'll make the appropriate adjustments but I feel like I'm taking the right approach.
From what I've been reading it may take 4 - 5 days for my body to get used to a regular shot of Triseba. So I'm keeping an open mind and am treading carefully as I don't want to accidentally subject myself to bad hypo experiences.
Hopefully in a few more days I'll have a better handle on it.
I think you'll be happy with the Tresiba. New insulins are being invented all the time, and it's good that your doctor keeps up with the latest ones.
That's where I'm at now - it's only day 3 but I have noticed already that the past couple of mornings my BGs are stay at a good normal however there are a few holes in my day where my BGs are running a bit high of normal. That was expected. As adjustments to my humulog (fast acting) insulin is now in order. But we're talking small adjustments. It may be a bit premature but so far so good.
I plan to go a couple of more days at 22 units of Tresiba to make sure that the insulin cycle overlaps as it is a 40 hour insulin or thereabouts and I've only given two night shots so far. Probably by the weekend I'll start adjusting my dose to see if I can stabilize my BGs a little bit more.
One thing I noticed with the Tresiba pens - they seem a lot nicer then the Lantus pens I had been using. I didn;t read the injection instructions before my first shot and I was impressed with how the pen worked compared to Lantus. The second night I read the instructions to make sure I was doing it right and as it turned out I was. The dialing up mechanism and spring action of the pen are a nice touch.
Last edited by rsfletcher; 02-07-2019 at 18:44.
Yes, the Tresiba pens are different. They seems to have a delayed action instead of an instant delivery.
I really don't think there's any such thing as a 40 hour insulin, even though they market it as such.

Museo ni Manuel Quezon
Manuel Luis Quezon was born on 19 August 1878 in Baler, Tayabas (present-day Aurora). He completed his studies at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran and pursued a law degree at the Universidad de Sto. Tomas. During the war against the United States, he served as aide-de-camp to General Emilio Aguinaldo. After the war, he became a prominent lawyer and was elected to different local and national government positions: Governor of Tayabas (1906); National Assembly Representative (1907), Resident Commissioner to Washington D.C. (1909), where he secured the passage of the Jones Law; and Senate President (1916). He led the First Philippine Independence Mission to the United States in 1918, which culminated in the enactment of the Tydings-McDuffie Law in 24 March 1934 and the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth. Quezon was elected Commonwealth president on 17 September 1935.
The nation-in-the-making however, soon faced a monumental challenge: the invasion and occupation by Japan. Quezon's presidency after his re-election in 1941 was interrupted by war. While in exile in the United States from 1942-1944, Quezon tirelessly called upon the Filipino people to remain steadfast in their struggle for freedom. Sadly, Quezon succumbed to tuberculosis on 1 August 1944 in Saranac Lake, New York State. His remains were initially buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia; repatriated in 1946 and reinterred at the Manila North Cemetery; and finally transferred to the mausoleum of the Quezon Memorial Shrine on 1 August 1979
The Museo ni Manuel Quezon is housed in the Shrine. Designed by Federico Ilustre, the shrine has an equilateral triangular base serving as the mausoleum of President Quezon and his wife, Aurora Aragon. Surmounting the base are three pylons measuring 66 meters in height, representing Quezon's age upon his death and the three major islands of the Philippines. Above the pylons are Art Deco statues of three angels holding sampaguita funerary wreaths sculpted by Italian artist Francesco Riccardo Monti.
The Museum features the life and political career of President Quezon and explains the historical context in which he emerged as leader of the country.
Gallery 1. Quezon's youth in Baler, his education, role in the revolution and return to civilian life;
Gallery 2. Early political career of Quezon while the Philippines was under American rule;
Gallery 3. Quezon's presidency of the Commonwealth;
Gallery 4. Quezon's leadership during the war and his exile to the United States; and
Gallery 5. The death and legacy of Manuel Luis Quezon.
The Museum also has other facilities, such as:
Audio-visual room, which offers a brief documentary about Quezon and the Museum;
Aurora Quezon Gallery, which is devoted to Aurora, Quezon's wife and a civic leader in her own right; and
Quezon office as Commonwealth President.
The Museum contains a sizeable collection of President Quezon's memorabilia, a hologram of the President delivering his inaugural address, and various interactive booths and terminals that offer information about Quezon and his time. Visitors are encouraged to avail of the Museum's interactive facilities.

NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 6 Clippers-Warriors coverage: Let's close this out!
Contributors: Steve Perrin
Share All sharing options for: NBA Playoffs Round 1 Game 6 Clippers-Warriors coverage: Let's close this out!
The Clippers should be more focused and ready than they've been in several games tonight when they take the court in Oakland for Game 6 against the Warriors. A win moves them on to the next round.
May 1, 2014, 2:14pm PDT
The Warriors won Game 6 at the end of quarters
By Steve Perrin
The Clippers have been good all season in end of quarter situations, and some late baskets helped them win Game 5. But in Game 6 it was the Warriors who came out ahead each time the clock was running out.
ClipCast episode 77: Game 7!
The ClipCast guys would have loved to win it in six, but now they're looking forward to game seven.
Clippers can't close out feisty Dubs, 100-99
The Clippers certainly had a chance to win Game 6, but the Warriors defense, the defensive glass, and an inability to get key stops all conspired to send the series back to L.A. for Game 7.
Game 6 Clippers-Warriors 4th quarter open thread
Golden State's defense was pretty incredible in the third quarter. They were the highest rated defense in the Western Conference in the regular season, and frankly for much of the series we haven't seen it. But that was amazing.

By tip off, we may know who the opponent in the second round would be. Regardless though, the Clippers would be wise to close out the Warriors tonight rather than allowing this to go to a seventh game.
Game 6 Clippers-Warriors preview: A close out game
The Clippers have a chance to close out their first round series tonight in Oakland. It's been a couple of days since Adam Silver banned owner Donald Sterling, and things are closer to normal, which could spell doom for the Warriors.

A couple of months ago I removed Google Analytics from this wee little blog, but I still use the less sophisticated WordPress.com stats plugin to follow up on what is being read around here. Loading the stats-page in my Android-browser is far from optimal (it uses Flash to draw the charts and it is a pretty big page), so I was pleased to read that version 1.3 of WordPress for Android features a stats-section. But the reports don't work, I just get "No stats data found, please try again later".
As I can't remove the entry with the faulty blog_id from the Stats DB and as I can't change the Android WordPress app to use one of multiple blog_id's instead of the blog_uri, I can't fix this little bugger myself, so I contacted WordPress Support. But how did I end up with 2 blog_id's in the database?

this got solved with the assistance of dan roundhill, the android wordpress app developer. it involved changing the blog_uri for the non-active blog.futtta.be to old-blog.futtta.be.


• My child needs a blood test. What should I do?
Please bring your Capital Pathology Request Form and your Medicare card with you.
If you have a pension card, Health Care card or a Veteran's Affairs card, please show these to your collector. This will enable us to bill you correctly.
Not all tests require fasting beforehand. However, there are some tests which will require you to fast for 8 - 12 hours, for example cholesterol, lipids, fasting glucose. Fasting should not exceed 12 hours. For these tests we recommend that you fast overnight. You can drink water during this time and take any medication you would normally take, unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Your doctor will inform you of any tests that require fasting or you may contact Capital Pathology for advice.
See also - Patient Information.
Some tests require your medication to be withheld until after specimen collection. Please contact your collection centre for specific collection requirements.
A blood test involves taking blood from a vein in your arm. Our specimen collection staff are extensively trained in this skill. We ensure all of our equipment is sterile.
It is vital that we make sure all of your personal details are correct. Our staff will ask for your name, date birth and Medicare number, and they will also check your contact details, the doctor's details and other questions that are specific to the testing (for example "Have you fasted for 10 - 16 hours?") Please let our staff know if you are on a pension or Health Care card.
No. It is the policy of Capital Pathology to utilise single use sterile equipment when taking blood samples from patients. Our specimen collection staff are trained in infection control.
Our collection staff will confirm your details with you at every visit. This is to ensure we have all the correct information. Each sample is carefully labelled immediately after collection, before you leave the collection centre. A laboratory number is given to your request form and samples to ensure they are not mixed up. This number is unique and assists to ensure that the correct tests are performed on each sample. We have other checks in place throughout the testing procedure to ensure the testing is performed at the highest possible standard.
To ensure the highest level of patient care, we encourage all patients to visit their closest collection centre. These are conveniently located around the Canberra and Southern NSW area and are listed on the back of the request form.
MY CHILD NEEDS A BLOOD TEST. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Some of our staff are more experienced at collecting samples from small children under six years of age. If you are bringing your child along for a blood test, we would suggest that you contact us to arrange an appointment at a time and collection centre when an appropriately experienced collector will be available.
Appointments are available at most Collection Centres, with some offering early morning appointments for patients who are required to fast. Please note for your convenience that appointments at most centres can be made for any time. Please contact your preferred Collection Centre directly to organise appointment.

Home Entertainment The Bachelortte airing on ABC
The Bachelortte airing on ABC
Vallusha Gupta

Matt James's long and revealing off-screen drama included both deception. However, two bachelorettes will be produced in 2021, which is referred to as the franchise's "big reset." One of them, Ms. Katie Thurston, will say, "I brought a vibrator to my sweet meeting with Matt." Thurston was a favorite fan because he vocally supported the other competitors. Michelle Young will be the other Bachelorette in 2021, and she excelled in After the final, where she made it to the final two before being defeated by James.
Spoiler Alerts
Reality's early spoilers Steve revealed Thurston's leadership, Thurston and ABC refused, and the big reveal of two leads occurred during the James Bachelor Final. I understand if having two seasons and two Bachelortte sounds a little confusing: this is the first time producers have done so in the franchise's history. Is it possible that I'm looking forward to these seasons because I'm watching them? So far, we only know of Thurston, who finished Us Weekly reports a week ago and said they "went great."
Source: Tom's Guide
This year, co-hosts Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams will take over, with Chris Harrison continuing the show. Bristowe recently won Dance with the Stars, and Tayshia Adams' season ended last year.
When asked about the audience, Thurston said, "If Harrison wasn't there, they wouldn't watch the show." "They appear to be on the wrong side of history, in my opinion. The year is 2021. I support Chris and everything he does, and I believe this is the best option… It feels like a fresh start. Many difficult, but necessary, conversations have taken place."
Get to know What's happening
Don't worry, your favorite hot chest show will return to our screens on Monday, August 16, 2021, after a two-year hiatus (I'm overjoyed). I'm delighted to do so.
Because of the absence of Paradise in 2020, there are approximately 150 candidates to choose from. "How do you fit into a cast of 15-18 people?" ABC executive Rob Mills predicted, "It's going to be extremely difficult." They are "dead set" on bringing the show to our screens, and they will be blessed by BenSmith, Joe Park, and Bennett Jordan, who will be cast by Adams/season Crawley. Chris Harrison, on the other hand, will not be hosting and will be replaced by guest comedians who sounds interesting.

The Fryingpan River, located northwest of central Colorado, is well known as a tremendous tail-water fishery. The river is fished mostly below Ruedi Reservoir Dam which, constructed in 1968, has made the fishery in to what it is today. The Fryingpan is a cold and clear river with abundant hatches, approximately 14 miles of controlled flow, huge trout and very consistent fishing. Much of the river is protected with catch-and-release fishing, which has also helped to maintain the fishery. Be sure to check the special regulations before venturing out.
Born near the continental divide just northwest of towering Mount Elbert, which stands at 14,433 feet, The Fryingpan flows northwest towards the town of Meredith. Although the best fishing is found mainly below Ruedi Reservoir this area can be accessed and fished from Route 4 and Fryingpan Road. The river above Ruedi Reservoir is made up mostly of pocket water with a few runs and pools along the way. From Meredith the Fryingpan flows nearly due west through Ruedi Reservoir and eventually to the town of Basalt where it meets the Roaring Fork.
Below Ruedi Reservoir the tail-water fishery is born. This tail-water section averages from 40-80 wide for most of its length. Some areas many tighten up while other areas widen. Flowing from the dam at extreme depths, the Fryingpan River's water is super cold (in the 40's Ð low 50's) for most of its journey to Basalt.
This cold flow protects the trout from warm summer temperatures and also provides the river with consistent hatches of mayflies, caddis and some stoneflies. Trout, especially rainbows, have been caught in the river over 10 pounds. These phenomenal weights are achieved mainly from feeding on mysis shrimp and also from the river's other hatches and available food. The mysis shrimp were originally placed in Ruedi Reservoir to benefit the trout in that fishery. Since, the shrimp have been flowing into the river from the dam providing the trout with a "healthy" diet.
The first few miles of the Fryingpan below Ruedi Dam are easily accessed therefore this section is usually crowded and heavily pressured. Remember, the river offers productive fishing throughout the 14 miles of tail-water so don't be afraid to venture from the dam and explore. Hatches will also vary as you move downstream from the dam. Close to the dam the primary flies used are mysis shrimp imitations. The farther downstream from the dam you venture the more emphasis you will find on mayflies, caddis and stoneflies. The water temperature will moderate a few degrees as you move downstream which in turn provides more consistent hatches. Swift moving pockets, pools and runs are found in the first few miles of river just below the dam.
The middle mileage of the tail-water is composed of slower moving pools, runs and riffles. This is a great area to fish the famous Green Drake hatch that appears each year on this river. Green Drakes are found in the greatest numbers near areas with silt and slow moving water and this area fits that description best. You will also find excellent hatches of other mayflies, caddis and stoneflies throughout this area and the rest of the Fryingpan River.
The last few miles of river before the Fryingpan enters the Roaring Fork consists mainly of pocket water and some riffles and pools. This section of river has steep banks and is considered to be one of the more secluded areas on the river. The fishing here can be great and a lot less anglers will be found.
The green drake hatch on the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan is a historic event. Anglers migrate to these rivers from all over to try their luck on some of the huge trout that come to the surface for this large mayfly. The hatch migrates upstream with time like it does on many other rivers. However, the migration of this mayfly on the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan is more noticeable and usually lasts longer. The "key" is to follow the hatch upstream as time wears on. The hatch usually begins on the Roaring Fork in late June or early July and migrates up the Fryingpan until it has reached the dam sometime between late August and mid September. Other significant hatches on the Fryingpan are blue-wing olives, pale morning duns, tricos, caddis and golden stones. Midges and terrestrials are also very important.
Although the hatches are great and the dry fly fishing can be outstanding, nymphs take the majority of fish on the Fryingpan. Mysis shrimp patterns, scuds, hares ears, zug bugs, brassies, etc. catch a large share of fish. Most of the time light tippets are necessary to fool fish and spotting the trout before you cast is a frequently practiced technique.
Planning a trip? The Fryingpan would be an excellent choice for the novice and skilled angler alike. Its consistent flows help make it a dependable trip (there are always exceptions) then some others may be. Large trout, quality hatches, clear cold waters and beautiful scenery make for a wonderful experience.

Widespread microglial activation in patients deceased from traumatic brain injury
Antonio Velázquez, Marisa Ortega, Santiago Rojas, Francisco Javier González-Oliván, Alfonso Rodríguez-Baeza*
Department of Morphological Sciences
Primary objective: The role of microglial activation in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been extensively described in established animal models. In contrast, very few studies have analysed this process in human patients, the majority being focused on the local reaction in the contused parenchyma. In this work, the main objective was the analysis of microglial activation in brain regions distant from the primary lesion.Research design: Morphological changes of microglia were evaluated in the cerebral cortex of patients deceased from TBI in comparison with control subjects.Methods and procedures: Cortical samples from five cases with TBI and 10 controls were evaluated using Ricinus communis lectin histochemistry and conventional Hematoxylin-eosin staining.Main outcomes and results: It was observed that microglial cells from patients with TBI presented shorter and thicker cellular projections compared with controls. Moreover, the percentage of histological area reactive to lectin was statistically higher in samples from subjects with TBI. These signs of microglial activation were observed in all of the analysed cortical areas, thus indicating a generalized effect on the whole cerebral cortex. The results are consistent with previous imaging PET studies performed in living patients with the 11C-PK11195 radiotracer.Conclusions: The findings indicate that TBI induces a widespread activation of brain microglia which affects all cortical areas, including those distant from the contusion site.

In 1983, in the year that Javier Nino was born, physicist Sally K. Ride, 32, became the first US woman astronaut in space as a crew member aboard space shuttle Challenger on June 18th. She was also the youngest (32) astronaut to go into space. Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space in 1963.
In 1991, on November 7th, legendary basketball player Magic Johnson announced that he had HIV. In 1991, the public was confused about the difference between HIV and AIDS (HIV is a virus that can lead to AIDS) and there was little treatment for either. Most thought that Johnson would die within a year or so. Also, the transmission of AIDS wasn't understood so he had to retire from basketball. Magic Johnson is still alive and well.
In 1993, on January 20th, William J. Clinton became the 42nd President of the United States. He beat incumbent George H.W. Bush who was seeking his second term. Clinton won 43.01% of the popular vote to Bush's 37.45%. An independent candidate, Ross Perot, won 18.91% - the most votes for an independent candidate since Teddy Roosevelt's run for President in 1912.
In 1996, on April 3rd, Theodore Kaczynski (nicknamed the Unabomber) was arrested. His mailed or hand-delivered bombs, sent between 1978 and 1995, killed three people and injured 23 others. Diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, Kaczynski is serving 8 life sentences without the possibility of parole.
In 1997, on August 31st, Princess Diana of Great Britain was killed when her car crashed into a pillar in the tunnel under the Pont de l'Alma bridge in Paris. The car she was riding in was trying to evade the paparazzi but it was also discovered later that the driver of the car, who was also killed, had three times the legal limit of alcohol which likely contributed to the accident.

Early investigations by Virginia Tech engineers show promise for detecting metastatic breast cancer cells
Masoud Agah is the director of Virginia Tech's Microelectromechanical Systems Laboratory in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is applying his engineering skills to breast cancer research.
Research by engineers and cancer biologists at Virginia Tech indicate that using specific silicon microdevices might provide a new way to screen breast cancer cells' ability to metastasize.
An image of their work provided to Biomaterials was selected as one of the 12 best biomaterials-related images published in the journal's 2010 catalogue.
The Virginia Tech researchers are: Masoud Agah, director of Virginia Tech's Microelectromechanical Systems Laboratory in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Jeannine Strobl, a research professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Mehdi Nikkhah of mechanical engineering; and Raffaella DeVita of engineering science and mechanics and the director of the soft biological systems laboratory. Nikkhah was Virginia Tech's Outstanding Doctoral Student in the College of Engineering for 2009.
Their work appeared in two journal articles they authored in 2010 issues of Biomaterials, titled "Actions of the anti-cancer drug suberoylanilide hydroaxamic acid (SAHA) on human breast cancer cytoarchitecture in silicon microstructures," and "The cytoskeletal organization of breast carcinoma and fibroblast cells inside three dimensional isotropic microstructures."
Cell cytoskeleton refers to the cell's shape and its mechanical properties, Agah explained. "Any change in the cytoskeletal structure can affect the interaction of cells with their surrounding microenvironments. Biological events in normal cells such as embryonic development, tissue growth and repair, and immune responses, as well as cancer cell motility and invasiveness are dependent upon cytoskeletal reorganization," the electrical engineer added.
Understanding how the cell interacts with the contents of its surrounding environment inside the human body, including the introduction of a drug, is a fundamental biological question. The answers have implications in cancer diagnosis and therapy, as well as tissue engineering, Agah said.
In previous experimentation by others in the field, researchers have exposed cells to mechanical, chemical, and three-dimensional topographical stimuli. They recorded the cells' various responses in terms of migration, growth, and ability to adhere. Also, in the past, researchers have created substrates of precise micro- and nano-topographical and chemical patterns to mimic in vivo microenvironments for biological and medical applications.
What distinguishes the work of Agah, a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award recipient, and his colleagues, is they developed a specific three-dimensional silicon microstructure for their work. Due to its curved isotropic surfaces, they were able to characterize and compare the growth and adhesion behavior of normal fibroblast and metastatic human breast cancer cells, they reported in Biomaterials.
"In invasive breast carcinoma, tumor cells will fill a milk duct, and the basement membrane," they wrote. This action allows the carcinoma cells and the fibroblast cells of the breast tissue to be in close proximity, constituting "a critical pathobiological transition that leads to the progression of the disease," Strobl said.
Using their uniquely designed three-dimensional silicon microstructure, they were able to incorporate three key cellular components found in any breast tumor microenvironment. Additionally, they were able to determine the detailed interaction of the cells within this environment, including the normal breast cells, the metastatic breast cancer cells, and the fibroblast cells.
Their understanding of the behavior of the cells within the microstructures is what leads them to believe their research could "provide important diagnostic and prognostic markers unique to the tumor, which could ultimately be used to develop new tools for the detection and treatment of cancer."
Following their initial findings, Strobl, Nikkhah, and Agah identified a unique application of the experimental anti-cancer drug SAHA in their studies with the silicon microstructure. SAHA, also known as Vorinostat, is the first drug of its type to receive Food and Drug Administration approval for clinical use in cancer treatment.
Unlike many of the conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy agents that target DNA to kill cancer cells, SAHA's unique properties include its ability to inhibit a family of enzymes referred to medically as "histone deacetylases." These enzymes are known to "increase levels of acetylation of many proteins, including beta-actin, alpha-, and beta-tubulin, and additional actin binding proteins comprising the cytoskeleton.
"The role of drugs such as SAHA in the control of cancer cell metastasis is only beginning to be understood," explained Strobl, "however our work shows that SAHA elicits a very characteristic cytoskeletal alteration specifically in metastatic breast cells that provides a handle for predicting which breast cells in a cell mixture might have the ability to metastasize."
Cell motility is "one hallmark of metastatic cancer cells involving the coordinated actions of actin and other cytoskeleton proteins," Agah explained. When metastatic disease develops, it is usually fatal.
They found SAHA caused cancer cells to stretch and attach to the microstructures through actin-rich cell extensions. By contrast, control cells conformed to the microstructures. This result allowed them to "conclude that isotropically etched silicon microstructures comprise microenvironments that discriminate metastatic mammary cancer cells in which cytoskeletal elements reorganized in response to the anti-cancer agent SAHA."
The Virginia Tech work in this area "is the first to address the use of microdevices to study this emerging class of anti-cancer agents," Agah said.

NBA Finals Fever
The last two years a pair of veteran teams met in the NBA Finals, with Miami winning its second straight title in seven games against the Spurs and then San Antonio thrashing the Heat a year ago. But the winds of change have blown, with LeBron bolting Miami for his hometown and the Spurs losing in the first round in seven games to the LA Clippers.
Now the Golden State Warriors have exploded with a historical season, tops in the NBA in field goal shooting and three-point shooting, plus No. 1 in FG defense allowing just 42% shooting. And he gets to face LeBron, making his fifth consecutive NBA Finals appearance, his first with Cleveland since 2007.
Throw in the fact that Cleveland has young Kyrie Irving as a young star, has a new generation of young players finally emerged on the NBA Finals stage? Three years ago it was supposed to be the time the kids stepped up in Oklahoma City. OKC came close, winning Game 1 of the Finals before Miami won four in a row. The previous year a younger Miami team came close, carving out a 2-1 series lead before collapsing, as it was those old fogies in Dallas who came away with the title – another veteran team winning the whole thing.
Overall, veteran NBA teams have been on a roll, with the Celtics winning it all in 2008, the Lakers in 2009-10, the Mavericks in 2012 out of nowhere, and the Heat twice under LeBron and the Spurs last year, with Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich. This year young teams from Boston, Atlanta, Washington and Memphis made the playoffs but are gone.
This year the NBA's Final Four had a pair of teams with a lot more youth than veteran leadership in the Rockets, Hawks, Cavs and Warriors. While the NBA is more of an athletic game, primed for young legs, the experience of the Mavericks certainly helped them three years ago, while the Spurs had a terrific blend of young and older players last season.
But at some point age can work against a team, breaking down from injuries. There really haven't been many youthful teams winning the NBA title lately. The Celtics and Lakers were veteran teams that clashed in the Finals in 2008 and 2010. The experienced Lakers topped the young Orlando Magic in 2009, blowing out the kids in Game 1, 100-75. Prior to that veteran teams like the Spurs, Pistons and 2006 Miami Heat won titles.
LeBron James is 30 and has been in the league 11 years. Another thing that stands out with the NBA's Final Four of 2015 is defense. Golden State (No. 1) and Atlanta (No. 6 were in the Top six in field goal shooting defense allowed during the regular season. Houston (12th) was decent, too, while the Cavs ranked 20th, though that's a bit misleading as they added key defensive personnel in mid-season and have been a strong defensive team the last two months.
A year ago the NBA's Final 4 (Thunder, Pacers, Spurs and Heat) all finished in the Top 10 in the NBA during the regular season in either points allowed for field goal shooting defense. Oklahoma City was tops in the West in FG shooting defense, while the Pacers were best in the NBA.
This shouldn't surprise. Three years ago Miami was sixth in points allowed during the regular season, Dallas was 10th. So how did the mighty Golden State Warriors do against the best of the East? The Warriors whipping the Cavs at home (112-94) in January, then lost at Cleveland in February (110-99), its seventh road game in eight contests. Golden State lost 124-116 at Atlanta in February when the Hawks were rolling, then won at home, 114-95 in the rematch. A lot of blowouts! That's not something the NBA wants to see over the next week. Are the kids from the West ready to take over? Or will we see LeBron hoist the trophy again? Let the games begin!

President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr announced on Wednesday significant developments in the administration's efforts to eradicate the notorious MS-13 gang, including its plan to seek the death penalty of an alleged gang member in connection to the slayings of two New York teens.
Trump said his administration's "campaign to destroy MS-13" had lead to the arrest and indictment of dozens of MS-13 members and its leaders. The Justice Department launched Joint Task Force Vulcan (JTFV) in August 2019 in an effort to disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately destroy the vicious gang, which has been responsible for a wide range of criminal activity across the United States such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, kidnapping, and murder.

Nikolay Gulyayev
Full name: Nikolay Alekseyevich Gulyayev
Original name: Николай Алексеевич Гуляев
Height: 6-3.5 (192 cm)
Born: January 1, 1966 in Vologda, Vologda, Russia
Affiliations: CSKA Moskva, Moskva (RUS)
Country: Soviet Union, Unified Team
Sport: Speed Skating
Medals: 1 Gold (1 Total)
Nikolay Gulyayev made his international début at the 1986 European All-around Championships, where he surprised everyone by winning a silver at 1500 m, finishing fifth in all-around. The next season was probably Gulyayev's best. In December 1986 he won his only Soviet all-around title, with titles at the 500 m and 1,500 m distances. Then in January 1987, Gulyayev won the European All-around Championships, where he also won both the 500 and 1,500. After that he won the World All-around Championships with a new samalog record. At those World Championships he also won the 1500 m with a world record of 1:52.70 and won distance silvers in the 500 and 5,000. After the 1987 season Gulyayev was awarded the Oscar Mathiesen Trophy as the best speed skater of the year. Gulyayev was considered to be a favorite at the 1988 Winter Olympics in the sprints, but a month before the Games, he was caught trying to smuggle 700 capsules of Dianabol, an anabolic steroid, and because of this, did not defend his European and World titles. Since he never tested positive for steroid use, the IOC did not refuse Gulyayev's participation at the 1988 Winter Olympics, so he competed in Calgary, but under close scrutiny. At the Olympics, Gulyayev fell in the 500 m, won gold at 1,000 m, but was a disappointing seventh in the 1,500. After the 1988 Olympics, Gulyayev skated a few more seasons, but with less success, although he did won 500 m golds at the 1989 World and 1990 and 1991 European All-around Championships. He also tried his hand at the World Sprint Championships, his best finish seventh in 1992. Gulyayev won his third and last Soviet distance title in the 500 m in 1990 and he won CIS sprint title in 1992. After finishing his sporting career, Gulyayev worked as a speed skating coach in Russia and from 2002-06 was Vice President of the Russian Speed Skating Federation.
Personal Bests: 500 – 36.84 (1990); 1000 – 1:13.03 (1988); 1500 – 1:52.70 (1988); 5000 – 6:51.28 (1987); 10000 – 14:28.45 (1987).

CBP introduces biometric facial comparison
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the implementation of biometric facial comparison technology at the pedestrian border crossings in Detroit, Michigan and Champlain, New York. The technology will enhance the identity verification process for lawful entry into the United States.
The biometric facial comparison process occurs only at a time and place where travelers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When a traveler arrives at the pedestrian lanes in Detroit or Champlain, he or she will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point. A CBP officer will review and query the travel document, which will retrieve the traveler's passport or visa photo from government holdings. The new photo of the traveler will be compared to the photo previously collected. The facial comparison process only takes a few seconds and is over 97 percent accurate.
It is voluntary for U.S. citizens to have their photo taken. U.S. citizens who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may notify a CBP officer when approaching the primary inspection area. These travelers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.
CBP is committed to its privacy obligations and has taken steps to protect the privacy of all travelers. CBP has employed strong technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the enhanced biometric process. New photos of U.S. citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of foreign nationals will be stored in a secure DHS system.
Biometric facial comparison technology enhances CBP's ability to facilitate lawful travel and secure the border and fulfills a longstanding congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens. To date, more than 53 million travelers have participated in the biometric facial comparison process at air, land and sea ports of entry. Since September 2018, CBP has leveraged facial biometrics to prevent nearly 300 imposters from illegally entering the United States by using genuine travel documents that were issued to other people.
More information about CBP's efforts to secure and streamline travel through facial biometrics is available here.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Update 1.09 Today Is 330MB
Jason DunningWednesday, February 08, 2017
After giving us update 1.08 yesterday, Raven Software has released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered update 1.09 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC today. According to Charlie Intel, it's 330MB on PS4 and 400MB on Xbox One.
The patch notes for update 1.09 are the exact same as update 1.08, except they now include this additional note: "increased the server send rate." This feature was already added with 1.08, it was just missing from the patch notes, according to Lead Designer Amos Hodge.
You can see the patch notes for update 1.08 over here. "The server send rate increase was accidently [sic] left off the patch notes," Hodge says. "But the change is included in this update."
If you're planning on playing Modern Warfare Remastered this weekend, there will be a Double XP event running from Friday, February 10 at 10am PT/1pm ET until Monday, February 13 at 10am PT/1pm ET. There will also be a new Weekend Warfare.
For Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 players, Activision has added a special Bloody Valentine weapon camo to the Black Market until February 16. "It features an animated camo that oozes blood over any weapon that you choose, and looks delightfully deadly… Once you get it, you'll have it forever. Once it's gone, you've missed your chance… and that would be a sad ending to what continues to be a great love story," Activision says.
Did you notice anything new with today's Modern Warfare Remastered update?

On July 7, 2017, President Trump addressed an enthusiastic crowd in Poland's Krasinski Square. I believe his words show the deepest beliefs of his own heart…his love of God, family and freedom. He said, "Through four decades of communist rule, Poland and the other captive nations of Europe endured a brutal campaign to demolish freedom, your faith, your laws, your history, your identity – indeed the very essence of your culture and your humanity. When the Poles gathered for their first mass with Polish Pope John Paul II on June 2, 1979, a million Polish people raised their voices in a single prayer. They did not ask for privilege. Rather, one million Poles sang three simple words, 'We want God.'"
