Sous-vide king salmon with tarragon-chive butter.
After an enforced absence of a few years, king salmon fishing is back along the California coast. Regardless of the sometimes difficult politics and economics of fishery management, it is always encouraging to see a natural fishery recover when it gets some time. And one thing we see here on the farm (and all over the world) is that nature often rewards patience and comes roaring back, if given the chance. And now our local community is reaping the benefits of its patience and we get to eat our local king salmon straight from Monterey or Half Moon Bays. And there are few fish as tasty, or pretty, as fresh wild king salmon.
Wild king salmon has a beautiful color and deep rich flavor that, at least to local tastes, surpasses most wild and all farmed salmon. The wild salmon's high fat/oil content and varied diet makes for big flavor and meaty texture, yet is still healthy (depending on how much butter you add to the dish ;-). The king salmon also lends itself to many different styles of cooking. You can serve king salmon as sushi or crudo, poach, roast, bake or grill it and even the crispy skin is a tasty treat. Great stuff, but with one caveat, the fresh wild salmon does not come cheap. It is best to make the most of the fish, so in this case we decided to cook our king salmon using our sous-vide cooker. (But there is a good oven-based method, so please read-on).
Simple ingredients, but big flavor.
As we mentioned in an earlier post, sous-vide cooking involves sealing fish, meat or veggies in a vacuum bag and cooking in a temperature-controlled water bath. It is a very popular cooking method in high-end restaurants, but you can buy sous-vide cookers and vacuum sealers for the home. Our inspiration for sous-vide cooking came from Stefan's Gourmet Blog– and he has a great introduction and many good sous-vide recipes here. We cook sous-vide regularly with both meat and fish, but particularly like cooking fish in this way. The temperature control and doneness of the fish are quite exact and you can "build" a sauce in the bag while you cook the fish.
Simply season the filets then add the herbs and butter and cover with lemon slices.
Cook sous-vide or in the oven. These filetes are vacuum-sealed for sous-vide cooking.
While this is a simple dish to prepare with either cooking method, you get a lot of big flavors. The richness of the salmon and butter is matched by lemon notes and bright, vegetal herbs. If you cook the salmon rare to medium-rare the texture will be soft and juicy, if you cook to medium the texture will be flaky but still rich from the high fat content of the salmon. And here is where personal judgement comes into play. Many cooks will serve salmon rare at 109 or 110 degrees, medium rare in the mid-120 degree range and medium at 130 degrees. Tastes vary and we prefer rare to medium rare fish, but to be fully "cooked" many references suggest cooking fish to at least 130 degrees and even up to 145 degrees. Again, use your judgement based on tastes and the freshness of your fish. And a digital thermometer is a big help if cooking in the oven.
As the local king salmon season is short, we enjoyed this dish a few times in the last week or so. We can't get enough of the salmon, and our kids love it. We take every chance to make sure our kids enjoy eating good fresh fish (think of it as selling healthy eating habits). And the king salmon is more than good, it's a real treat. Sometimes patience truly is rewarded. Let's hope we have another good season next year.
If you don't have California king salmon, a trip to California is in order…;-) Otherwise substitute your fresh local salmon or other firm fish filets. This basic recipe works for most fish.
Salmon usually has small pin-bones you can remove with tweezers or pliers. Remove them before cooking or ask your fishmonger to do it for you.
What You Get: An easy, tasty dish that highlights the flavor of the wild salmon.
What You Need: A sous-vide cooker is helpful, but oven cooking works very well. If using the oven, a digital thermometer is a very useful tool.
How Long? About 45 minutes if cooking sous-vide. 20-30 minutes if using the oven. This is an anytime dish, assuming the fish is in season.
4, 6 oz. salmon filets with skin on, pin-bones removed.
If cooking sous-vide, set your cooker to 122 degrees for medium-rare. If using oven, place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees.
Liberally season the salmon filets with salt and pepper. The layer each filet with 1 tablespoon of the tarragon, chives and then butter. Place 1 or 2 slices of lemon on top to cover most of the filet.
If cooking sous-vide, place the filets in their bags and vacuum-seal. Place in the sous-vide cooker for 30 minutes. When done, remove the bag from the cooker, cut open the bag and gently plate the fish. Pour remaining sauce from the bag over the fish and serve. Garnish with parsley and a lemon wedge, if you like.
If cooking in the oven, place the filets on a greased baking dish and add the wine. Place the dish in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the desired temperature is reached or the fish just begins to flake (reminder, the fish will continue to cook when removed from the oven, expect the final temperature to increase by at least 5 degrees). Plate the salmon, drizzle with sauce from baking dish and serve. Garnish with parsley and a lemon wedge, if you like.
Looks wonderful! And I love tarragon!
Love this recipe guys! Would preparing this in a tightly closed foil "packet" (in the oven or grill) be comparable to sous-vide? I prepare salmon that way a good bit – with veggies, a little butter and herbs. Enjoy your run of King!
Foil packets on the grill or paper (en papillote) in the oven were kind of the precursor of sous-vide that kept in moisture and moderated temperature- so that approach will work. A splash of wine would help, too.
This looks so good! I haven't worked much with tarragon. Definitely need to try this.
Tarragon has a light anise flavor that goes well with rich seafood like salmon or lobster. You can substitute other herbs if you like, it will still work well… thx for reading.
Cool. Thanks for the tip.
Congrat's on being Freshly Pressed!
Have worked a couple of years with the Sous-vide method and it's fantastic … because all the flavors and the juices are preserved – because the slowly cooking around 60C/172F. The principal must have come from the French method "en papillote" – bake in paper.
This salmon dish … lovely – can feel the smell through the screen when open that bag. Very tasty photos.
Great post and thanks for the links! Have you tried salmon at 109F? 122F is a good one-size-fits-all temperature for all fish, but for salmon I like 109F better as the fish has a nicer mouth-feel.
By the way, you can also make this in a BBQ by wrapping in aluminum foil. Can be cooked as quickly as in 5 minutes.
We did try at 109 and its great- our preferred temperature- and the texture with salmon is perfect. But the kids (and some of our friends) are still happier at 122.
One of the few drawbacks of sous-vide is the uniform cooking temp / time. If using a grill or oven we would just cook some pieces longer than others, to taste. Regardless, the consistent results from the sous-vide are worth it.
What you could do is this: first cook some salmon pieces 30 mins at 122. Then quickly lower the water temperature to 109 (by adding cold water or ice cubes) and leave the salmon cooked at 122 in the bath to keep warm. Now add the remaining pieces you'd like to cook at 109F, and cook for another 30 mins. I have tried this with vegetables and meat (183 to 131) and I expect it to work with the salmon as well since the salmon cooked at 122 should not be greatly affected by another half hour at 109.
We feel the same about well-done steak..
That makes sense with lowering the temp of the bath- will try this…thanks.
I guess a trip to California is in order!
I love the endless possibilities that a filet of salmon brings to the kitchen:) Whether marinaded, served with a sauce, flavored with spices, eaten cold or warm, etc. etc. etc., there are so many wonderful choices to be made!

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – Game one of the final day in January of 2018 consisted of the Manitoba Northstars and Oregon Lumberjacks ending in a 2-2 tie at Palm Springs Stadium Wednesday morning.
Left-handed pitcher Gary Aho got the start for Manitoba (2-3-1) and was outstanding over five innings of work. Aho did not allow a run on three hits while striking out four and walking none.
The Lumberjacks (2-3-1) were first to score in the contest, as the first four hitters reached in the top of the sixth. Ryan Dickt singled and eventually scored on an Austin Meyer RBI sacrifice fly. Joe Torre, who reached on an error, scored on a wild throw.
Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh, the Northstars put together a rally with two outs. Adrian Guzman worked an eight-pitch walk and was driven in on a Charles Misiano triple to cut the deficit to one.
With Misiano standing at third base, Will Krug sent a dribbler to second base that resulted in an error and a run scored to tie the game at two. Krug stole second base and moved to third on a wild throw, but did not score after Robert Humes got Connor Ryan to line out to end the contest.
The Northstars' manager, Boots Day, is an assistant with the Evansville Otters of the Frontier League. Luckily for Guzman, Day took a liking to the shortstop, as Guzman signed a contract to join the Otters in 2018.
In the second game of the day, the Palm Springs Chill defeated the British Columbia Bombers, 10-3.
Tyler Matzek started for the Chill, making his third appearance of the winter league, and fired three shutout innings. The left-hander struck out seven batters while only allowing two hits and one walk. The Chill provided plenty of run support for Matzek as well, scoring five runs in the first three innings.
Ryan Binggeli started for the Bombers and was ineffective, lasting just two innings and surrendering three runs. Eight of the nine Chill starters reached base safely at least once and six different hitters had an RBI in the game.
The Chill scored in five separate innings while scoring two or more runs in four of those frames. Right fielder Zach Nehrir was the standout star at the plate, going 4-for-4 with a double, three singles and three runs scored. Nehrir also made a diving catch to end the game in the seventh inning, to add to his excellent performance.
The Bombers didn't do much at the plate thanks to Matzek's sharp start and three relievers combining for four solid innings. But in the loss, Trevor Achenbach went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a single, a stolen base and two runs scored.
On the auxiliary field, the Alberta Grizzly defeated the Coachella Valley Snowbirds 8-2. Austin Bueter went 6.2 innings and allowed two runs on four hits with 13 strikeouts and two walks.
Bueter was perfect through 3.2 innings, and did not allow a hit until the fifth with two outs. The Grizzly improve to 3-2-1 on the year, while Coachella Valley falls to 0-6.
In game two, the Canada A's were victorious over the Washington Blue Sox in a 7-6 nail biter. Canada's Carter Grote went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBIs.
Grote is tearing up the Winter League, as the A's infielder has four home runs and 12 RBI through six games. Canada improves their record to 6-0 with the win and Washington drops to 4-2.
Thursday is "Out-of-Towners Day" at the Palm Springs Stadium. Those with a valid out-of-state ID will be admitted to the ball park for only $3!
Game one will begin at 10:00am between the Blue Sox and Toronto Rush. The broadcast can be listened to live online at CaliforniaWinterLeague.com.

A Portland-váza Augustus császár uralkodása alatt készült Rómában i. e. 10 körül, és a legértékesebb ránk maradt kámeaüveg alkotásnak tekintehő. Az i. sz. 1. század végén eredetileg csúcsosabb alját egy lapos korongra cserélték, majd a 3. században sírmellékletként egy szarkofágba helyezték. 1594-ben találták meg, majd 1635-ben Dal Monte bíboros a Palazzo Madamában kiállított műgyűjteményének egy darabja volt. Később a Barberini család tulajdonába került, majd 1780-ban a skót James Byrnes vásárolta meg. Ő a vázát Sir William Hamiltonnak ajándékozta, aki továbbadta Portland hercegnőjének. A váza az 1800-as évek elején kismértékben károsodott, majd a British Museumba került, ahol jelenleg is látható. Készítésének technikája eltér a megszokottól, a többi hasonló alkotástól eltérően nem formába öntötték, hanem üvegfúvásos technikával alakították ki. Ezután a sötétkék vázát olvadt, fehér üveggel vonták be, majd mintázatát hidegen, csiszolással formázták meg. Az alakok kidolgozása olyan magas szintű, hogy a váza valószínűleg a császári család, vagy közvetlen környezetük egyik tagja számára készült. Stílusában felismerhetők a görög szobrászat egyes elemei, például a fekvő női alak megformázásában. Az ábrázolt alakokat eddig nem tudták azonosítani, a kutatók véleménye megoszlik Vénusz és Ankhiszész, Péleusz és Thetisz, Akhilleusz és Heléna vagy Thészeusz és Ariadné között.

Lucy Liu to play Watson in CBS' New Sherlock Holmes Series
CBS has cast Lucy Liu to play Watson in their new Sherlock Holmes series, 'Elementary'. Liu will be playing an ex-surgeon and former NYPD consultant in this new series who will be Holmes' new faithful companion. In this adaptation Holmes will be a recovering addict and former Scotland Yard consultant played by Johnny Lee Miller. Now apparently when news of Watson being played by an actress spread, there were a few naysayers who did not like this decision.
The Guardian's Stuart Heritage is clearly conflicted about the casting news: "Now, the easiest thing to do when presented with this news would be to slap your head in despair. Watson? A woman? What madness is this? Won't this cancel out the asexual ambiguity of Sherlock's character? Why stop there? Why not make Watson a child, or a alien, or a rapping cartoon animal? But, look, let's all calm down."
Buzzfeed's JP Moore seems to take greater umbrage with the idea. He made a side-by-side photo of Liu and Martin Freeman, who plays Dr. John Watson on the BBC's "Sherlock," with the following text:
On Liu: "This is not what Watson looks like." On Freeman: "This is what Watson looks like. Please stop."
Is it really that difficult to accept the idea of the character of Watson being female? Seriously? I mean this isn't the first time the role of Watson was played by an actress. In the 1971 film 'They Might Be Giants' actress Joanne Woodward portrayed the role of Dr. Mildred Watson, a psychiatric who treated a patient (George C. Scott) who believes that he's Sherlock Holmes. Also in 1987 in the TV movie 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes' actress Margaret Colin played the role of Jane Watson. Personally I don't mind if Watson is played by an actress or actor and the same goes to the role of Sherlock Holmes. It's an ADAPTATION people as long as it's good people will watch it. And thanks to the awesome modern retelling of BBC's 'Sherlock' I can't wait to check out CBS's 'Elementary'.

Bugaboos, various ascents. On East post Spire in August, Aleksey Shuruyev, Elizabeth Whitcher (age 17), Sam Adelman (age 17), and Andrew Freeman put up two new routes that, combined, would make a logical seven-pitch outing up the center of the south face. The lower route, Gabriel's Face, climbs two pitches (5.8 and 5.10) on the lower wall (where some other two pitch routes exist on the left side) and ends at a big walk-down ledge. Their second route, Afternoon Delight, begins on the ledge, slightly down from the end of Gabriel's Face and 15' left of a prominent left-facing dihedral. Afternoon Delight's five pitches go at 5.7, 5.8, 5.8, 5.9, and 5.7.
After the above climbs Shuruyev and Whitcher tried a new line on the east face of Snow- patch Spire, between the regular and Beckey-Mather routes, but retreated after eight pitches (up to 5.10). They were two or three easy pitches from the summit when Shuruyev broke a hold and fell 30', resulting in a broken ankle, a forced bivy, and a helicopter rescue.
To rehab his dislocated hip, Janez Ales underwent an impressive physical therapy regiment, soloing eight routes, including Sunshine (Snowpatch Spire), the Beckey-Chouinard (South Howser Tower), and All Along the Watchtower (North Howser Tower). In accordance with the preventive mindset of rehab, Ales self-belayed all non-scrambling sections.
North Howser Tower continues to receive considerable attention, and from September 7-8 on the 1,000m west face Ulysse Richard and Manuel Quiroga freed Seventh Rifle, at 5.11b. The pair reportedly encountered much loose rock and wet/icy chimneys. This was initially thought to be the FFA, but it appears that Mike Tschipper and Ward Robinson freed it in ca 1986, thinking it to be around 5.10c.
Of note to future parties, the pair established a rap route down their ascent line, with the first rappel being two bolts on the far left side of the ridge, just before it cliffs out. Some raps, especially the eighth, are over 60m.
Also on the west face of North Howser, Bean Bowers and the indefatigable Dave Nettle not only blitzed All Along the Watchtower (34 pitches, VI 5.10 A2 or 5.12-) in 11 hours, but Bowers freed all of the climb (on lead, follow, or solo on easy sections). This is likely the first time the route has been freed in a day.
On South Howser and the Minaret a couple of days later, Bowers, Nettle, and Chris Swetland did a new free linkup that they called Bad Italian Hair. Beginning with Bad Hair Day (V 5.12-) via a new 5.10 start, they then joined the Italian Pillar (V 5.11+) and continued to near the top of South Howser from where, on easy terrain, they descended in high winds.

Kids get coding with Kodu
March 16, 2011 | Steve Clayton - Editor - Microsoft News Center Staff
FUSE Labs live in the office next to me and the rate that they're pushing out work right now, I'm starting to think they do actually live there. Today they announced full availability of Kodu Game Lab for the PC and announced the launch of the nationwide (US) Microsoft Kodu Cup 2011 competition.
For those late to the game on Kodu, it's software which lets you design video games without having to know any programming before you start. Perfect for me then…but ideal for kids. You use images and icons to quickly build a game versus the typical complexity that a programming language brings. In talking about NUI on this blog, I've mentioned to notion of lowering the barriers for entry to technology and how that will encourage a whole new population to enjoy the benefits of tech. This is a great step in that direction.
Kodu has been out there for a while and this full release includes new features, such as an interactive system that guides users through each step of making games — creating terrain, adding characters, programming them etc. It also includes a social capability that enables users to share games with other PC-based Kodu Game Lab users.
The Kodu Cup is a game design contest for students ages 9-17. Kodu is great tool for kids because it lets them cut right to what matters — the quality of the game — but it also helps them build their technical and creative skills along the way. But enough of that…there's $5k at stake, plus a trip to NYC, an Xbox 360 250GB Console with Kinect , Toshiba Satellite Laptop and more.
Check out more at http://fuse.microsoft.com/kodu and kids – get coding.
Teachers, be sure to check out the Kodu Classroom Kit. It's a set of lesson plans and activities for teachers, after school program instructors and administrators to run a variety of types of classes using Kodu. Nice eh….classroom in a box. download it!

Road collapses near bridge in Carolina Village, Couva
Villagers consider where to pass after the Mt Pleasant Road in Carolina Village, Couva, collapsed on Wednesday. Photo by Lincoln Holder
On Wednesday, a deplorable road near a bridge collapsed in Carolina Village in Couva, making it impassable for vehicles.
The Mt Pleasant Road, residents said, is the main route connecting neighbouring communities such as Springvale in Claxton Bay, Milton Village, and Forres Park.
Couva South MP Rudranath Indarsingh met with affected residents at the site and appealed to the authorities to repair the bridge immediately.

"It needs an immediate solution. A bridge can make a difference in saving lives. If the police have to respond to a crime, they cannot come into the area. If a pregnant woman has to get to the hospital, it is a problem," Indarsingh said.
The Opposition MP called on Rural Development and Local Government Minister Faris Al-Rawi, and Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan to intervene.
Indarsingh said, "Mr Al-Rawi must ensure that this is dealt with in a very decisive manner."
The residents complained they now have to take alternative routes, which means spending extra time and money to go to and from places.

Seeta Krishindath said residents recently placed barrels along the road to alert drivers of its bad state. The villagers also spread gravel on the road to help make it somewhat passable for vehicles.
She added, "Last night, we had lots of rain. I was surprised to see barrels floating away in the river this morning."
Several people were stranded in their homes in the area owing to flooding.
Many residents of Carli Bay, Couva, were also affected.
Allison Julien-Jackson of Fairview Avenue said she lost many items in the floodwater. She recalled that a friend called her by phone early on Wednesday and told her to look outside.
Acting CoP: Prudent leaders put measures in place for their absence
Julien-Jackson's home was surrounded by water. Her household items were already water-soaked.
She lives with her husband and three children.
"I am keeping the faith. I lost everything. A lot of families are affected. There is a river nearby which connects to the sea. This is the worst flood we have seen in this area in years," she said.

At a key-distribution ceremony at the San Fernando City Corporation on Wednesday, Al-Rawi responded to critics who blamed the Government for flooding.
"They could blame the Government all they want. It is the weather, climate change and the fact that many of our citizens build in the flood zone because the land was there."
He said members of the disaster management units of all the corporations were on the ground monitoring the situation and helping affected people.

Crochet is a skill anyone can learn and I'm sure you've come across women who crochet online whether as a hobby or for educational purposes. With posts on patterns and video tutorials the crochet community has been steadily growing in the last few years. As a result, more women have turned their crafts into profit making online shops.
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the best thing about crochet is, you'll always find patterns that cater to your skill level and most of them are free. For a beginner, there are a number of forums to join if you have any questions or you feel stuck. Needless to say, the crochet online community is always ready to help. So what's stopping you?
Crochet bikinis or swim suits make anyone stand out in a crowd filled with store bought suits. With hundreds of patterns to choose from, each suit you make is different from the last one. And because they're quite popular a single suit could go from Sh.3000 to Sh.7000 or even more depending on the pattern used.
Amigurumi or crochet doll was initially a Japanese art form before it spread globally. Back then, the idea that you could crochet a little animal or figure was relatively unknown. Amigurumi make a great gift for the little ones to play with while the young at heart could use them as decorative pieces around the house. You can also make your amigurumi in different sizes, from a pocket size to almost the size of a two year old. Going for about sh.750 to Sh.8000 for a single doll is not bad at all and because they use almost the same pattern, you're sure to make a wide range of dolls with ease.
There is something about a neatly done crochet blanket that makes a room so cozy. It could be the bright colors and the pattern that naturally warms up the place. These blankets also come with a variety of uses from the bedroom to the living room as furniture covers. In this case, crochet blankets normally use a pattern known as the granny square and the more detailed a pattern is, the more you can charge. Some blankets can even go for as much as Sh.10,000, I kid you not.
Nothing says I put a lot of thought into this than presenting a whole set of crochet baby clothes to a new mom. This is why crochet baby clothes are the most sought after gifts. Even going through your own pictures, you'll most likely find one of you wearing a crochet dress as a toddler. A set of booties, a dress and a hat can go for about Sh.4500 while separate items can go for Sh.800 to Sh.1500 each and it gets better because you know there is a baby being born every day.
If you're worried about where to get your yarn and crochet hooks, these days yarn shops are almost everywhere, along Biashara street, in malls and online shops. These crochet crafts tend to use yarn made from 100% cotton that's a bit pricey except for some Amigurumi where you could use a blend of 50% cotton and 50% acrylic.
Don't compromise your work. If a pattern says use cotton, don't use acrylic or a blend. By doing so, you could end up with poorly made items that will most likely cost you money.
Now you're ready to grab some yarn to crochet. All the best.

The sub-project of washroom renovation consists of brand-new vanity, brand-new sink, new tap, brand-new bath tub, brand-new shower walls, new shower doors, brand-new plastic floor covering – at least, that is. You could likewise need to have a new toilet, new water closet, new mirror, and new medicine cabinet incorporated into your washroom design also. Whew! And that's simply the washroom for beginners.
In cooking area improvement, you could require new kitchen counters (like granite kitchen counters which stand effectively under wear and tear as a result of its durability) or maybe new kitchen cabinets. A brand-new cooking area sink might additionally be warranted if your old one has discolorations that won't come out even with the toughest cleaning agents as well as regular scrubbing in your place, or if it has rustic components that could verify hazardous if young hands get too close.
Acoustic ceiling removal could prove essential prior to you have actually recessed lighting set up in your living room and also coustic ceiling removal could prove essential prior to you have actually recessed lighting set up in your living room and also dining room.

Allow's start with stance; if I were seeking to make a long distance actors I would normally open up my feet permitting my left foot (I am an ideal handed caster) to be positioned ahead of my shoulders and also my ideal foot back, this would allow me to make the lengthiest movement of the rod on the forward and also back actors. On the other hand, if I were trying to make very exact casts I would certainly settle my feet up straight under my shoulders or maybe enable my right foot to lead somewhat to the target. This would certainly allow me to sweep the fly rod directly above and down my line of vision in the direction of the target therefore offering me boosted reliability.
Moreover, exactly how you hold the rod can additionally be differed to maximize accuracy. The very best two grasps for reliability casts would be to hold the pole with either the thumb atop the rod or the first finger in addition to the rod. The first finger hold is slightly much more precise however in numerous situations a lot more fatiguing. From an angling stand factor the advantages of being an exact wheel are evident, yet while exercising you not only really want to work on casting to targets yet additionally casting before and past your targets to resemble leading a fish.
Look at your target as a moving fish and also figure out exactly what direction the fish is moving and also attempt to position the fly 2 feet in front of as well as two feet past the target. If you obtain good properly leading targets while exercising it will certainly be like second nature while out fishing! This will be especially important as we come close to the tailing fish or fish in very superficial water ... when these fish are up on the apartments nosing down on crabs or other crustaceans they are almost unconcerned to their environments which allows us to sneak in close for the best cast. Most of the times, especially when wade angling, we could obtain to within 20-30 feet of the fish prior to they terrify off of the standard so under these situations a well controlled brief cast will serve you extremely well. Till next time, Keep on Casting!

The Albright Knot that he created has now end up being a standard knot-tying technique among salt water anglers; these include those special groups of angling professionals that go after and yearn for International Game-Fish Association line-class documents.
As a result of its versatility, the Albright has a range of usages. Fairly easy to tie, it is typically made use of to tie two angling lines of different types for e.g. a knotted line to a wire or a monofilament to a pigtail. It is also very helpful for joining two angling lines with noticeably various sizes; fishermens frequently utilize this knot to join the fly line with the backing line.
A little bit of info that is not usual expertise unless it is an experienced fishermen is to engage in utilizing the Albright Knot by just increasing over the end of the leader or the primary line and tying a flexible loop. This technique makes the Albright one of the quickest and also easily the most dependable ways to bring with each other a monofilament leader as well as a knotted line. This method works well for both watercraft angling and shore fishing. A great deal of sea fishermens depend on the Albright for fishing Carp.

November 30 2015. The January 2016 issue of the journal Diabetes Care reported the outcome of a randomized trial that revealed a beneficial role for testosterone treatment in men with diabetes.
"We hypothesized that testosterone may be an anti-inflammatory and insulin sensitizing agent since it has been known for some time that testosterone reduces adiposity and increases skeletal muscle," remarked lead researcher Paresh Dandona, MD, PhD, who is a Distinguished Professor at the State University of New York and chief of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism in the Department of Medicine in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Buffalo. "Our previous work has shown that obesity is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, and inflammatory mediators are known to interfere with insulin signaling."
The trial included 94 type 2 diabetic men, among whom 44 had low testosterone levels and reduced insulin signaling genes indicative of decreased insulin sensitivity. Participants with low testosterone received a weekly testosterone injection or a placebo for 24 weeks. Body weight, body fat, markers of inflammation, insulin sensitivity and other factors were assessed before and after treatment.
At the end of the trial, men who received testosterone experienced a more than six pound average loss of body fat and an equal increase in muscle mass. They also had lower levels of the inflammatory markers C-reactive protein, interleukin-1b and tumor necrosis factor-a. "Most importantly, we saw a dramatic increase in insulin sensitivity, demonstrated by a 32 percent increase in the uptake of glucose by tissues in response to insulin," Dr Dandona reported.
"Testosterone treatment for men, where indicated, will improve sexual function and increase skeletal muscle strength and bone density," Dr Dandona noted. "This is the first definitive evidence that testosterone is an insulin sensitizer and hence a metabolic hormone."

November 25 2015. An article appearing on November 25, 2015 in Cell Metabolism reveals that dietary restriction enhances circadian clock gene expression and fat metabolism in Drosophila—a fruit fly that has been the subject of numerous aging experiments.
"More than 10-15% of the genome is under circadian control, especially genes which regulate processes involving cellular repair and metabolism," explained lead researcher Pankaj Kapahi, PhD, of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. "Every cell has a clock and the action of clocks in peripheral tissues, fat, intestines, kidneys -- plays an important role in modulating metabolism and thereby mediating lifespan extension via dietary restriction."
Dr Kapahi's team had previously observed that flies given a restricted diet exhibited greater triglyceride turnover. The current study, which involved restricting the protein content of the flies' diet, revealed enhanced expression of circadian clock genes in peripheral tissue, which suggested an association with medium chain triglyceride cycling.
Genetic modification to enhance circadian function resulted in longer life, even when the flies were allowed to consume as much food as they wanted. Those whose clocks were disrupted failed to benefit from dietary restriction.
"The role of medium chain triglycerides in aging and regulation of clock functions is not clear, however dietary medium chain triglycerides have been associated with weight loss and improved healthspan in both humans and mice," noted coauthor Subhash D. Katewa, PhD. "Our work demonstrates for the first time that medium chain triglyceride synthesis in animals is under nutritional and circadian control. If we want to modulate the effects of nutrient manipulation on fat metabolism and aging then targeting the activity of peripheral circadian clocks gives us a way to achieve that goal."
"Circadian rhythms, which impact many behaviors like sleep or cellular processes like metabolism, tend to dampen with age," added Dr Kapahi. "The metabolic rhythms of flies on dietary restriction maintain a remarkable robustness as they age, which we think helps them live longer. It is exciting to contemplate how this mechanism might be exploited for human health."
November 23 2015. Findings obtained from a randomized trial reported in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention reveal a previously unknown mechanism for aspirin in cancer prevention.
Forty men and women received 325 milligrams aspirin or a placebo for 60 days. Using a new technique known as metabolic profiling, levels of 363 metabolites involved in most human biochemical pathways were measured in all participants. Researchers Cornelia Ulrich, PhD and her associates found that aspirin decreased levels of both forms of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate by 12% among the trial subjects and by 34% in colorectal cancer cell lines. (Increased levels of 2-hydroxyglutarate have been found in blood and brain cancers, and the compound is believed to promote tumor development.) The researchers also determined that salicylate, the primary aspirin metabolite, inhibits an enzyme involved in 2-hydroxyglutarate production.
"It is really exciting that aspirin, which can work in colorectal cancer prevention, is now linked to a new pathway that has shown to be relevant for cancer formation," commented Dr Ulrich, who is the Senior Director of Population Sciences at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. "This study covered most of the known biochemical pathways in the body."
It has been hypothesized that aspirin's anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects are behind its apparent ability to protect against some cancers. "This new study suggests that aspirin is playing a key role in interrupting multiple pathways that are linked to cancer development," Dr Ulrich stated. "Here we show both in the clinic and laboratory that a reduction in 2-hydroxyglutarate may identify a new mechanism for aspirin in cancer prevention."
"In the long run we want to personalize prevention with aspirin because like everything it can have side effects," she noted. "We want to be able to tailor it to people who are most likely to have benefit and to have the lowest risk of adverse outcomes."
November 20 2015. A double-blind trial reported on November 2, 2015 in Menopause found that supplementation with vitamin D resulted in fewer falls and better body stability among postmenopausal women with a history of falling. The study "is the first randomized clinical trial that evaluated the effectiveness of vitamin D in preventing falls in younger postmenopausal women," announce authors Luciana Mendes Cangussu, MSc and colleagues at Sao Paulo State University.
The trial included 160 women between the ages of 50 to 65 years who had fallen over the previous year. Half of the women received 1,000 international units (IU) vitamin D per day and the remainder received a placebo for nine months. Postural balance, plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and other factors were evaluated at the beginning and end of the treatment period, and any falls were noted.
Insufficient vitamin D levels were found in both groups at the beginning of the study. At the end of the treatment period, vitamin D levels increased from an average of 15 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) to 27.5 ng/mL among supplemented women, while declining from 16.9 ng/mL to 13.8 ng/mL among those who received a placebo. Participants who received a placebo had nearly twice the adjusted risk of falls than those who received vitamin D and a 2.8 times greater risk of recurrent falls. Postural sway declined by an average of 35% in all balance conditions tested in participants who received vitamin D while remaining relatively the same in the placebo group.
"In Brazilian postmenopausal women fallers, isolated vitamin D supplementation for 9 months resulted in a lower incidence of falls and improvement in postural balance," the authors conclude. They note that a reduction in the risk of falling would help minimize healthcare costs for postmenopausal women.
November 18 2015. An article published on September 5, 2015 in Clinical Nutrition reveals that being deficient in vitamin D could negatively impact the effectiveness of drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
For their study, assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics Amara Ezeamama of the University of Georgia's College of Public Health and her colleagues utilized data from a randomized trial that included 398 HIV-positive adults treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) over an 18 month period.
"Because of the immune-destroying effects of HIV, infection usually results in relatively quick death without treatment," Dr Ezeamama observed. "The magic of antiretroviral therapy, the name for drugs to treat HIV, lies in its ability to restore immune function. With antiretroviral drugs, people with HIV are beginning to live longer lives. Our goal was to understand whether vitamin D deficiency limits the amount of immune recovery benefit for persons on HIV treatment."
Vitamin D levels were measured upon enrollment and CD4+T cell counts (an indicator of immune status) were evaluated at the beginning of the study and at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. The researchers found that higher vitamin D levels were associated with a better ability of CD4+T cell levels to recover in response to HAART. "HIV destroys the capacity of the body to mount effective response to pathogens," Dr Ezeamama explained. "Given different vitamin D levels, HIV-positive adults recovered at different rates. We found a relationship between vitamin D and CD4+T cells."
"In addition to HAART, ensuring vitamin D sufficiency may also be helpful in restoring immune function," she concluded. "Vitamin D is relatively cheap. If we intervene with it, it could give individual HIV-infected persons a modest immune recovery bump that will likely translate to big public health impact."
November 16 2015. A study reported at the 2015 American Heart Association Scientific Session in Orlando on November 9, 2015 adds more evidence to the cardiovascular safety of testosterone replacement.
The study included 1,472 men aged 52 to 63 years with low testosterone and no history of heart disease who were patients at Intermountain Healthcare hospitals. At one and three year follow-up visits, the men were categorized according to whether they had received 90 days or more of testosterone replacement.
Researchers J. Brent Muhlestein, MD, and his associates found that men who received testosterone gel or injections had no greater risk of heart attack, stroke or death over a three year period than those who did not receive testosterone replacement. "Our research examined the potential cardiovascular risks associated with generally healthy men who use testosterone supplements to normalize their levels and found no increase in those risk factors," commented Dr Muhlestein, who is the co-director of research at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute. "In fact, testosterone therapy in this population was shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and death, when compared to those men who weren't taking testosterone supplementation."
"This particular study provides assurances to physicians and patients that using testosterone replacement therapy in a generally healthy population of men over the age of 50 to normalize levels doesn't increase a patient's risk of a heart attack or stroke, and actually shows a reduction in those risks," he concluded.
November 13 2015. On October 13, 2015, the journal SpringerPlus reported the outcome of a study of critically ill adults which found that supplementation with calcium lowered the risk of mortality within 28 to 90 days after intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
Researchers at Jinhua Hospital of Zhejiang University in Zhejiang, China analyzed data from 32,551 ICU patients admitted to Boston's to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center from 2001 to 2008. Supplemental calcium used during the patients' stays included such forms as calcium carbonate, calcium chloride, calcium gluconate, fosamprenavir calcium, rosuvastatin calcium, and others.
Within 28 days following ICU admission there were 4,489 deaths. Patients who consumed supplemental calcium had an adjusted 49% lower risk of dying compared to those who did not supplement during the 28 days following ICU admission. A reduction in 90 day mortality was also observed in association with calcium supplementation.
The authors remark that ionized calcium plays a vital role in maintaining normal physiologic function, particularly signal transduction, and that severely low blood calcium levels have been associated with an increased risk of death. "Since hypocalcemia is independently associated with increased mortality, it is not surprising that calcium supplementation is associated with improved outcome," authors Zhongheng Zhang and colleagues write. They add that "It is mandatory to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test whether calcium intake is associated with improved outcome."
"In aggregate, our study for the first time suggests that calcium supplementation may be helpful in reducing mortality in critically ill patients," they conclude.
November 11 2015. Findings from a trial reported online on November 3, 2015 in BMC Nephrology reveal an association between periodically elevated doses of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and decreasing levels of plasma isofuran, a marker of arachidonic acid peroxidation, in patients undergoing dialysis.
The trial included 20 end stage renal disease patients, whose plasma F2-isoprostane levels indicated increased oxidative stress. Subjects were given 300 mg CoQ10 daily for 14 days, followed by 14 day periods during which 600 mg, 1200 mg and 1800 mg daily doses were administered. Blood samples collected at the beginning of the study and after each 14 day period were analyzed for CoQ10, F2-isoprostane, isofuran and other factors. CoQ10 levels were also measured in the plasma of ten healthy control subjects.
Plasma CoQ10 levels increased linearly in association with supplemental doses. While F2-isoprostane levels remained unchanged in comparison with levels assessed prior to treatment, isofuran concentrations were reduced following the 1200 mg and 1800 mg dosing periods, and were 45% lower at the end of the study in comparison with the beginning.
"Mitochondrial dysfunction observed in Parkinsonism or end stage renal disease, may lead to high cellular oxygen tension since dysfunctional mitochondria consume little oxygen," the authors explain. "In this environment reactive oxygen species formation preferentially increases the generation of isofurans but not F2-isoprostanes . . . The suppression of isofuran generation observed with CoQ10 dose escalation is consistent with the idea that CoQ10 improves mitochondrial function in maintenance hemodialysis patients and reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species."
"This is the first in vivo study in any patient population to demonstrate that plasma concentrations of isofurans are modifiable by any therapeutic antioxidant strategy and suggests that CoQ10 may improve mitochondrial function and decrease oxidative stress in patients receiving hemodialysis," they conclude.
November 9 2015. While the world scrambles to find newer and more powerful antibiotics to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, researchers reporting at the International Conference on Polyphenols and Health on October 30,2015 provided evidence that cranberries could be used to combat recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and more.
"We have long believed in the urinary tract health benefits that cranberries provide, but this new research reveals just how wide-ranging those benefits can be," announced Kalpana Gupta, MD, MPH, who is chief of Infectious Diseases at Boston Healthcare System and professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine.
Dr Gupta noted that, due to increasing antibiotic resistance, oral treatments for UTIs have become limited. Treatment with cranberries can help reduce the incidence of UTIs, thereby reducing antibiotic use and, accordingly, antibiotic resistance. Cranberries also protect against oxidative stress and have been linked with further benefits. A presentation by Peter Howe, PhD, who is a professor at the University of Newcastle in Australia, revealed how cranberry polyphenols have been associated with improved blood flow that could aid the cardiovascular system and the brain. "Based on emerging science, cranberries can be a vital nutritional asset to address global health issues, particularly as more people look to holistic approaches for healing," Dr Howe stated. "I'm pleased to be part of this international team of experts to present the latest scientific findings and to assess opportunities for continued discovery."
November 6 2015. Less than one in five patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are tested for levels of the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9, according to research presented at the Western Surgical Association's annual meeting. The test can provide information that aids in the decision concerning whether to initiate chemotherapy prior to surgery for the disease.
For their study, Mayo Clinic gastrointestinal surgical oncologist Mark Truty, MD, and colleagues utilized data from the National Cancer Data Base for 997,000 subjects. They found that the CA 19-9 test, which is routinely ordered upon pancreatic cancer diagnosis at the Mayo Clinic, had only been ordered for 19% of subjects diagnosed with the disease in the current study.
Pancreatic cancer patients with elevated CA 19-9 levels had worse outcomes in comparison with those without elevated levels whose cancer was of the same stage. The researchers found that the association of elevated CA 19-9 levels with poor survival was strongest among patients with early stage diagnosis. However, the administration of chemotherapy prior to surgery negated the impact of CA 19-9 elevations on outcome. "When we looked at how these patients did after surgical removal of their cancers, the only treatment sequence that completely eliminated the increased risk posed by CA 19-9 elevation was chemotherapy followed by surgical removal of the tumor," stated Dr Truty. "This is another argument for giving chemotherapy before surgery in all pancreatic cancer patients and ending the old practice of surgery followed by chemo. The study answers an important clinical question and applies to every pancreatic cancer patient being considered for surgery."
"Every patient should have a CA 19-9 test at diagnosis," he concluded. "This is a simple, cheap and widely available test that allows personalization of pancreatic cancer treatment."
The researchers plan to investigate the long-term health effects of soy protein and isoflavones supplements, including whether they benefit more than the bones.
November 4 2015. In a study presented at the Society for Endocrinology annual conference on November 1, 2015, women who consumed a high isoflavone soy protein supplement experienced a reduction in a marker of bone loss, indicating a decreased risk of osteoporosis.
The study included 200 women in early menopause who were divided to receive a soy protein powder with or without 66 milligrams (mg) isoflavones for six months. (Isoflavones are plant compounds, many of which have estrogenic and antioxidant benefits.) Blood proteins βCTX and P1NP, which are markers of bone activity, were measured before and after treatment.
Women who received soy protein with isoflavones had lower levels of βCTX in comparison with those who received unenhanced soy protein, which indicates a reduction in the rate of bone loss. They also exhibited a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to the other group.
The bone benefit observed in this study in association with isoflavones could be due to the compounds' estrogen-mimicking effect. "We found that soy protein and isoflavones are a safe and effective option for improving bone health in women during early menopause," reported lead author Thozhukat Sathyapalan. "The actions of soy appear to mimic that of conventional osteoporosis drugs."
"The 66 mg of isoflavone that we use in this study is equivalent to eating an oriental diet, which is rich in soy foods," Dr Sathyapalan observed. "In contrast, we only get around 2-16 mg of isoflavone with the average western diet."
"Supplementing our food with isoflavones could lead to a significant decrease in the number of women being diagnosed with osteoporosis," Dr Sathyapalan concluded.
November 2 2015. The Society for Endocrinology's annual conference held in Edinburgh was the site of a presentation on November 1, 2015 of the outcome of a study that found lower blood pressure and improved exercise performance in healthy adults given a daily vitamin D supplement.
Thirteen healthy adults were given 50 micrograms (2,000 international units) vitamin D or a placebo for two weeks. Fitness tests administered at the beginning and end of the study found that those who received vitamin D were able to cycle 6.5 kilometers in 20 minutes after two weeks of treatment in comparison with 5 kilometers at the beginning of the study, while exhibiting fewer signs of physical exertion. The vitamin D group also had lower blood pressure and decreased urinary levels of cortisol, a hormone that is elevated during stress, compared to the placebo group. Research suggests that vitamin D lowers cortisol by blocking an enzyme needed for the hormone's production.
"Vitamin D deficiency is a silent syndrome linked to insulin resistance, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and a higher risk for certain cancers", observed lead researcher Dr Emad Al-Dujaili of Queen Margaret University. "Our study adds to the body of evidence showing the importance of tackling this widespread problem."
"Our pilot study suggests that taking vitamin D supplements can improve fitness levels and lower cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure," stated study coauthor Raquel Revuelta Iniesta, who is a lecturer in nutrition at Queen Margaret University. "Our next step is to perform a larger clinical trial for a longer period of time in both healthy individuals and large groups of athletes such as cyclists or long-distance runners."

A STABLE GALERKIN REDUCED ORDER MODEL (ROM) FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLOW
Kalashnikova, I.; Arunajatesan, S.;
A method for constructing stable Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD)/Galerkin reduced order models (ROMs) for compressible flow is described. The proposed model reduction technique differs from the approach taken in many applications in that the Galerkin projection step is applied to the continuous system of partial differential equations (PDEs), rather than a semi-discrete representation of these equations. It is demonstrated that the inner product used to define the Galerkin projection is intimately tied to the stability of the resulting model. For linearized conservation laws such as the linearized compressible Euler and linearized compressible Navier-Stokes equations, a symmetry transformation leads to a stable formulation for the inner product. Preservation of stability for the discrete implementation of the Galerkin projection is made possible using piecewise-smooth finite element bases, and a weak enforcement of the boundary conditions. The stability and accuracy of the proposed model reduction approach is studied in the context of two test cases: the problem of an inviscid pressure pulse in a uniform base flow, and a viscous laminar cavity problem. For the second inherently non-linear test case, the non-linear dynamics of the flow are captured in the POD reduced basis modes, but not in the equations projected onto these modes, as the ROM equations are based on a local linearization of the full non-linear flow equations.

I am a big guy. Mountains punish me. When I tour, there are a number of things that I take into consideration – but first among them is to keep my route flat, flat, flat.
I do this using Google Maps' cycling feature. Plot a car route on Google Maps and it tells you how to get from Point A to Point B. Plot a bike route, and it adds an elevation meter. You can then move your route around to reduce the amount of climb – and also make sure that a reasonable day's climb isn't all in a single hill!
It's basically cheating. It's basically the best thing ever.
But it's important to know your limits and your wants. Right now, my rule of thumb is <1%, ~.5%, =0%.
The maximum amount of climb that I will undertake is 5000′ of climb per century. Anything more and I will not be able to get it done. As a rule of thumb, I call it 1 mile of climb spread over 100 miles of riding. That is to say, a 1% average grade.
My ideal day of cycling is a century with a total climb of less than a 2000′. That's .5mi/100mi, or .5% grade. Magnificent.
A good, if kind of dull, day of cycling, is a century with a total climb of basically zero. One hundred miles of riding, no substantive ups or downs. A flat-out high-speed burn. Not ideal – but not bad!
That's 1000 miles of riding, and 30,000′ of climb – AKA, 3000′ per century. That's more than a .5% grade. Manageable – but not ideal.
The route distance is the same as the above, but with only 6,000 feet of climb. Six thousand feet of climb spread out over almost 1400 miles of riding! Compared to the original that's L>30%, E<80% – for a total average grade of .07%.
That sounds like my kind of ride.

None of them look like stage sets; there are very few mahogany desks or oak bookshelves sagging under the weight of uniform leather volumes. Most of them are filled with unmatching furniture and pressboard bookshelves, while some desks are simply pieces of wood laid across filing cabinets. The only common denominator seems to be books — as Simon Armitage notes, "Writers need to be more interested in wall-space than square footage," so they can fill the walls with bookshelves.
