ACL Knee Ligament Injury Prevention
ACL injury prevention is an important issue for everyone, but especially for athletes. The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament is the primary connective tissue that connects the bones of the knee. The ACL connects the tibia and femur. There are three other ligaments involved in normal knee function, but the majority of knee injuries occur to the ACL. In ordinary use, the anterior cruciate prevents excessive rotation of the knee and reduces stress across the joint. Along with the posterior cruciate ligament, or PCL, the backward and forward movement of a person's knee. In addition, the ACL facilitates tibia movement, limiting forward action.
The most common ACL injuries result from athletic activity and women athletes are three times as likely to incur ACL problems than men. In sports that require pivoting and other abrupt changes in direction, the ligament can be overstretched or torn. After an injury, the knee area is often swollen and painful. In some cases an audible pop can be heard at the time of injury. The most frequent cause of ACL overstretching or tears is hyperextension of the knee which happens when the joint is straightened past the normal straight position by ten degrees or more. This generally happens when a person lands from a jump with the knee fully extended. The pressure from the impact induces stretching or tearing of the ligament. Also, the injury can be caused by pivoting where one foot is firmly planted on the ground while the rest of the body rotates in one direction. Apart from athletic injuries, ACL tears can occur during trauma to the knee in situations such as a motor vehicle accident.
Athletes that are at higher risks for ACL injuries need to perform training drills that reduce the chances of encountering this specific type of problem and needing knee ACL surgery. A training program for ACL injury prevention was developed by the Santa Monica ACL Prevention Project in response to the many female soccer players who developed ACL issues. The program combines agility, balance, and performance drills into five stages. The stages are as follows: warm up, stretching, strengthening, plyometrics, agility drills, and finishing with a cool down period.
For minor injuries, knee ACL surgery may not be needed. Immediately following the injury, the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, elevation) should be utilized to reduce ACL recovery time. If this method does not alleviate the pain and swelling, then a local physician should be consulted to determine the best ACL recovery procedure. The doctor may recommend use of rehabilitation kneebraces such as a straight immobilizer or hinged brace to lower the impact associated with normal activities such as walking. If this ACL recovery remedy is not effective, the doctor may determine that ACL surgery is the best option. With the process of knee ACL surgery, a patient's ACL will be entirely reconstructed. The most effective forms of surgery utilize tendons from other parts of the body as material for the reconstruction. This surgery should aid in further ACL injury prevention.

November 29, 2014
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) -- Darren Horness of Howards Grove has a fish story to tell.
Horness caught a sturgeon so big, it's nearly as long as he is tall.
About 8000 fishermen spear sturgeon each year on Lake Winnebago and its upriver lakes.
In his seven years, Horness hadn't come close to a fish that big.
The fish practically came to him.
Horness had cut a hole through 16 inches of ice on Lake Winnebago, and the sturgeon arched through it, coming within six inches of the surface.
Horness heard the fish's back scrape the ice on the bottom edge of the hole.
About a dozen of the 700 fish speared so far this year have topped 100 pounds, including Horness' catch at 102 pounds.
Gary Hilbert of Fond du Lac caught the heaviest sturgeon of the year so far Saturday on Lake Poygan.
It weighed 139 1/2 pounds.

Addressing the needs of young people is a challenge that goes well beyond the role of health services alone. While we still have to establish friendly health clinics within the district health centers and private clinics, we have to address the information needs of our young people in the city through IEC strategies that may not require them to come physically to clinics but information reaches them comfortably and conveniently.

About Colleen Whiteman
Hello ~ Tom and Colleen Whiteman are thrilled to have the opportunity to share one of our favorites spots with you. We are young hearted Baby Boomers. We love to hike, Nordic and Alpine ski, ride our horses, windsurf, and boating/fishing. Wanting to have it all, we now own homes in Telluride Colorado, Moab Utah, South Padre Island Texas, and a cottage on a lake in Michigan. For our first 14 years in Telluride Colorado we owned and operated a luxury Bed & Breakfast in the heart of town. That's where we learned to love sharing our special home, from the skiing, hiking, jeeping and fine dining. We want our guests to love it as much as we do. We have developed a talent for helping you enjoy these magical areas in the way that best suits them.
Colleen Whiteman purchased this condo in 2004
Why Colleen Whiteman chose Moab
We are natives of Michigan. Our discovery of the Southwestern United States began in 1989 with a job related move to Tucson Arizona. Then 1991 landed us in beautiful Telluride Colorado. Telluride is an amazing town and the gorgeous mountains surrounding it gave us the opportunity to ski and hike to our hearts content. Though we adore living in Telluride, we missed the Desert Southwest and that type of hiking. We heard locals speak highly of the Moab (only a 2.5 hours away), so planned a quick exploratory trip. We fell in love with Moab! So breathtakingly beautiful and magical as only the Desert Southwest can be. We took our horses and camped, both horseback riding and hiking. The off-season weather of the mountains can be unpleasant and are the peak times to enjoy Moab, which is at the northern tip of the Senoran Desert. After our 4th trip we decided that we needed to own a home in Moab. We explored the town VS close to town, the Spanish Valley floor VS being above the golf course. When we found the Solano Vallejo Villas we knew we had found our Moab Retreat. It is so close to town. The Villas have a cozy warm inviting feel, being quiet and tranquil, and it let's you enjoy the views of the red rocks. Being outside of town at the higher elevation above the gold course we get up to 2 hours more sunshine in a day. We now own our perfect Moab Retreat which we love to share with guests so they can perfectly enjoy their Moab Escape.
What makes this condo unique
This is our beloved Moab Retreat so we have made it a home, not your standard rental. My experience operating our bed and breakfast in Telluride, helped me hone my skills of creating and exciting, welcoming, comfortable home away from home for our guests, that welcomes you into the ambiance and magic of the surrounding area. The minute you walk in the front door you will feel at home. The colors and furnishings compliment your experience of your location. It is furnished with things we love, for you to love also. You will find it comfortable and homey, while being exciting and unique, and with all of the conveniences. You have full unobstructed views of the beautiful red rock Rim from the living room, master bedroom, and upstairs queen bedroom, not to mention the lovely patio. The villas are on the Moab Golf Course.
There are petroglyphs just a short walk up the road from the Villas. There is so much to enjoy and fill your day! Arches is very close! The Canyonlands, Needles area, Dead Horse Point (fascinated story), river walk. Whether you hike, just sight see, mountain bike (Slick Rock), jeep, motorcycle, river raft or golf, there is something for everyone.
The pool is a refreshing way to finish your busy day. Our favorite pool time is around 3-4:00 pm. There are plantings in and around our patio, where you can grill on the gas Weber grill while enjoying the magical sunsets with a Sundowner (your choice of cocktail at sunset).

The health care bill, like any massive, comprehensive "reform" effort, has always been marked by the contradictions inherent in any such attempt. Anyone with common sense realizes you can't demand both more coverage, while keeping costs down as well. The fact that there are unintended consequences is not only predictable, but inevitable.
Reason reports on the attempts to "fix" what has been one of many casualties of the PPACA, child-only insurance policies. These policies are designed to fill a relatively small gap in the insurance market - children who cannot obtain coverage from parents but are also above the qualifications for Medicaid. As a consequence of the legislation requiring coverage for all "pre-existing conditions" these policies are now not being written.
Of course, instead of realizing that bad law creates entirely new problems, legislators in several states are now rushing to address this new hole. Not by fixing the poorly-designed law, of course; but by introducing entirely new law that will carry with it its own side effects. In Texas, one legislator has filed a bill that would require insurers to issue policies to anyone under 19. While he's at it, why not throw in a free puppy as well?

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Sevierville man has been arrested and charged with animal cruelty after authorities say he left his 4 horses for weeks without food or water.
Sevier County Sheriff's Animal Control officers say they arrested, Michael Keith Lowe, of Sevierville, on Friday and charged him with Cruelty to Animals. Deputies say he went to Florida for several weeks and didn't make sure the horses had proper food and water.
According to neighbors, Lowe asked them to watch after the horses, but they called authorities in August because they were unable to afford feeding and taking care of them. Deputies have been looking for Lowe ever since, he returned to Sevier County on Friday when deputies arrested him.
The 4 horses were rescued by Horse Haven in Knoxville, and have been adopted out to new homes.
Lowe was booked into the Sevier County jail on a $2,000 bond.

The department of English Language and Literature aims to teach all the students it serves, both majors and non-majors, to write and speak well and to read skillfully, thoughtfully and with pleasure. We continue to offer many courses that stress literary history and canonical figures, but we also give our students opportunities to experiment with a variety of new fields, theoretical perspectives and linguistic developments, and to pursue creative writing of their own.
We expect that our majors will graduate with an understanding of the historical and cultural forces that have shaped literatures in English, beginning in the British Isles, but now spread across the world. We want all our students to learn to wrestle with the complex interpretive challenges that literature poses and to become, in the words of Henry James, people "upon whom nothing is lost."
The Department of English Language and Literature and the Program for the Study of Women and Gender invite applications for an equally shared joint tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor, starting Fall 2015. Learn more...

Literary Lunches take place in Seelye 207 from noon-1 p.m. As always, lunch is provided for the first 20 attendees. All are welcome!
Wednesday, September 24 English majors in the world of work. A panel discussion by majors who had internships that drew on or connected to their skills and interests as majors
Wednesday, October 8 Smith's new Provost/Dean of the Faculty (and former Bryn Mawr English professor) Katherine Rowe will demonstrate and talk about designing her brilliant "Shakespeare apps"—an innovative digital humanities project that links the text of the play to a rich array of visual materials.
Wednesday, October 22 "Speedreadings": our creative writing professors will do brief readings from their work —and talk about what they do in their creative writing classes, and what's on offer for the spring term.
Wednesday, November 12 Karen Kukil, of the Mortimer Rare Book Room, will bring in and lead a "hands-on" discussion of some newly discovered—and not yet publically available—Sylvia Plath letters!

Memorial Service for
Patricia L. Skarda, 1946-2014
We are saddened to announce the death of our colleague Professor Patricia Skarda, who passed away on September 2, 2014. A memorial service at Smith College was held on Saturday, November 8 at 2 p.m. in the Helen Hills Hills Chapel, with a reception afterwards at the Smith Conference Center.
Donations in memory of Professor Skarda may be made to the Smith Fund or to a new fund, the "Professor Patricia Skarda Memorial Fund" in support of student-centered activities in the English department. In the spirit of Pat's love and concern for her students over more than forty years, the new fund will provide for cultural excursions, student-faculty gatherings, and other enrichments of the Smith educational experience for all English majors. Those who wish to donate to the English department's Professor Patricia Skarda Memorial Fund should make your donation check out to Smith College, and in the memo line of the check please reference Fund number 443448 with the words Patricia Skarda Memorial Fund. Donations should be mailed to the Smith College Gifts and Records Office at 33 Elm Street in Northampton, MA.
As her many generations of devoted students are aware, Pat's graduate work centered on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, an abiding love. In her honor, we present one of his poems.
Pied Beauty
Glory be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls, finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced— fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour, adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
Written Summer 1877. Poems (1918).

Yvonne Strahovski of CHUCK does her first Maxim Cover in the Nude| September 9, 2011 at 6:58 AM EST
Yvonne Strahovski (CHUCK) went nude for her Maxim Magazine cover. That is… a nude colored bodysuit/swimsuit thing.
In addition to her Maxim issue for October 2011, Chuck returns to NBC on Fridays this fall, and her new movie with Robert de Niro and Jason Statham, Killer Elite, is premiering. Busy say wha?
Yvonne Strahovski Interview Excerpt:
They say you've truly made it in Hollywood if you can call Robert De Niro "Bob." Did you get to do this?
I've called him Bob, so I guess I'll tick that one off the bucket list.
How was meeting Robert De Niro?
I just knocked on his trailer door and there he was! I felt like a kid in a candy store; I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
Is Jason Statham a total badass?
No, he's not Mr. Tough Guy or anything. He's not ready to punch someone at all times.
As far as love interests go, you could do worse than him.
Yes, you certainly could! But we sort of had a brother-sister thing going on, which is gross, because we play lovers in Killer Elite.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) open reading frame 61 (ORF61) encodes a protein that transactivates viral and cellular promoters in transient-transfection assays and is the ortholog of herpes simplex virus ICP0. In this report, we mapped the ORF61 promoter and investigated its regulation by viral and cellular proteins in transient-expression experiments and by mutagenesis of the VZV genome (parent Oka strain). The 5' boundary of the minimal ORF61 promoter required for IE62 transactivation was mapped to position -95 relative to the mRNA start site, and three noncanonical GT-rich Sp1-binding sites were documented to occur within the region comprising positions -95 to -45. Contributions of the three Sp1-binding-site motifs, designated Sp1a, Sp1b, and Sp1c, to ORF61 expression and viral replication were varied despite their similar sequences. Two sites, Sp1a and Sp1c, functioned synergistically. When both sites were mutated in the pOka genome to produce pOka-61proDeltaSp1ac, the mutant virus expressed significantly less ORF61 protein. Using this mutant to investigate ORF61 functions resulted in reductions in the expression levels of IE proteins, viral kinases ORF47 and ORF66, and the major glycoprotein gE, with the most impact on gE. Virion morphogenesis appeared to be intact despite minimal ORF61 expression. Pretreating melanoma cells with sodium butyrate enhanced titers of pOka-61proDeltaSp1ac but not pOka, suggesting that ORF61 has a role in histone deacetylase inhibition. Growth of pOka-61proDeltaSp1ac was impaired in SCIDhu skin xenografts, indicating that the regulation of the ORF61 promoter by Sp1 family proteins is important for ORF61 expression in vivo and that ORF61 contributes to VZV virulence at skin sites of replication.

A federal judge is hearing arguments on the claim that federal wildlife officials made an illegal land grab by listing 1,500 acres of private land in Louisiana as critical habitat for an endangered burrowing frog.
U.S. District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman scheduled a bench trial Wednesday for the challenge to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's designation of 1,500 acres in Louisiana as necessary for the dusky gopher frog's survival.
The 3½-inch-long frogs once lived in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Now an estimated 100 to 200 adults live in a few spots in Mississippi, with fewer than 900 in zoos around the country. There's no way to get a good head count because they live underground, though scientists count the number that spawn each year.
The Pacific Legal Foundation sued the agency last year for Markle Interests, LLC, a Louisiana landowner, after some of its land in St. Tammany Parish and 5,000 acres in Mississippi was named critical habitat for the frog, which lives in burrows in sandy pine forests and breeds only in ponds so shallow they dry up each summer.
The land owned by Markle and others was the frogs' last known breeding ground in Louisiana. It holds five temporary ponds within hopping distance.
The designation is unreasonable and illegal since no frogs live there and the owner won't make changes needed to make it suitable for the frogs, said attorney Reed Hopper.
"Not only are these 1,544 acres unoccupied by the dusky gopher frog, the property is unsuitable as habitat for the frog," Hopper said in a news release. "To my knowledge, this is the first time federal officials have set aside 'habitat' that is both unusable by and inaccessible to the species that is supposedly being protected."
He said this could let the Fish and Wildlife Service regulate any land it believes may someday be useful in conservation or recovery. "This interpretation exceeds federal statutory and constitutional authority and suggests that no property is safe from the grasping hands of overzealous bureaucrats bent on federalizing private property."
The listing requires only the agency's consultation on federal contracts, Wildlife and Fisheries officials have said.
Spokeswoman Connie Dickard said in an email Tuesday that the agency cannot comment on pending litigation.

Advice re Copper Core All Clad?
I used a friend's French copper saute pan (nickel interior) the other day, fell in love, and I'm now intent on depleting my child's inheritance and getting my first piece of copper core All Clad. I usually cook for 2-4, saute vegetables or sweat them for soups/sauces, sear meat, risottos, braise, prepare roux-based sauces. Any suggestions for the most versatile piece ? Right now I'm thinking of a 3-quart saute pan with cover or saucier with cover (I have a full complement of Calphalon that is serviceable and I can't afford to replace, so I'm not missing any particular shape or size of cookware). Is there any online source out there (or brick and mortar in the San Francisco Bay Area) that discounts this stuff?
re: ThreeGigs
Any suggestions re good sources for solid copper? I'd hoped not to have to take out a second mortgage.
re: dordogne
Falk Culinair is one of the best, but it has a stainless steel interior rather than a nickel interior. Stainless does have nickel in it, but it is not pure nickel. The iron handles are great. You need to buy it on line at Falk Culinair.com.
Mauviel is available at William Sonoma, and for some reason does not seem to be on the Bridge Kitchenware site any longer. I am hoping it is just a quirk of the new site and that they did not discontinue the line because it is very good stuff -- just don't buy the "serving ware". Mauviel comes in tin or stainless steel lining and you usually have a choice of brass or cast iron handles. I like the iron better because it doesn't get as hot, although the tin and brass combo look really nice. You can also get this at Broadway Panhandler online. BP also sells Bourgeat, which is another top line.
Yes, it is really, really expensive stuff. But -- you will be spending nearly as much on the All Clad copper core, and as the other poster has pointed out, they are two very different things. If you like copper, get thick professional grade copper because All Clad copper core is fundamentally a stainless steel construction.
re: RGC1982
I would stay away from the Mauviel at William-Sonoma -- it's the "table" series (can't remember the exact name right now) and has the brass handle, but it's only 1.6mm thick for many of the peices -- not the 2.5mm, which are the ones with the cast iron handles available online and Sur la Table; 2.5mm copper is serious cooking equipment!
re: mateo21
I didn't realize that the were only selling the tableware now. Thanks for letting me know.
re: dordogne
World Cuisine sells nickel-lined frying pans and such; try cookware.com.
If you can afford it, Falk, de Buyer, Mauviel, Bourgeat, or old-ish Bridge Kitchenware stainless-lined pieces are bombproof heirloom pieces. At one time, there was a guy who would go to the Falk factory, buy a piece wholesale, and ship it through the Belgian post office, if you purchased from him on eBay. Unfortunately the US distributor, more than a little miffed at losing all those sales, asked Falk to stop that, and they ended the practice. But it was nice while it lasted, before the dollar tanked and copper prices went through the roof.
If you're interested in thick, vintage pieces, keep an eye on eBay. I accumulated every piece I own in that fashion and some for outrageous discounts ($35 for a 6 pound, 2.5mm thick, 3.3 quart Inocuivre saucepan, for example -- probably the one that stands out most in my mind). You have to be pretty sharp but it will save you a lot of money if you ignore Mauviel, etc. and look for sturdy pieces instead (usually "Made in France" or "Made in Belgium", with appropriately heavy weights for a given size -- we're talking 12 pound saute pans and such).
Anyhow, good luck. I wouldn't trade my copper for anything.
re: ttriche
P.S. -- just get a 9.5" to 11" saucier pan for the cooking you have described. I happen to think that Falk's saucier pans are brilliant, but Bourgeat makes essentially the same pan in a different finish, which can sometimes be found for a more reasonable price ($100-$160). That shape is unbelievably useful, regardless. If you ever see one for a reasonable price, buy it. (You probably won't ever see the Falk or Mauviel versions at a tolerable price, which is unfortunate. But you might find the Bourgeat version of this shape at a discount.)
It has occurred to me that, of all the shapes a cooking vessel might take, the large, curvy saucier is probably the one that takes greatest advantage of heavy copper's strengths. And if you're going to pay for heavy copper, you might as well get every cent's worth of it.
The two most frequently used pans in our kitchen are our sauciers. The sauteuse bombee or modern 'fait tout' really earns the latter nickname.
re: ttriche
Many thanks for helpful, detailed information. Can/do you use the saucier for sauteing, browning meats etc. or does the curviness of the pan leave too little surface in contact with the flame (I've got largish Wolf range burners)?
re: dordogne
For the typical sear-saute- (maybe throw in the oven)- deglaze-reduce cycle of stovetop cooking, the large saucier or curved sauteuse evasee may be the perfect pan. We have a smaller Sur La Table 24cm (9.5") copper pan which was much less expensive ($50 or so?) and is somewhat thinner-gauge, but for smaller portions performs many of the same tasks. The Sur la Table pan looks like a cross between a curved sauteuse evasee and a frying pan, in that it is half as deep as the saucier, but has sides which curve up to vertical and enclose ~2 quarts' volume. Excellent shape and we use it all the time as a 'tight pan' for just the two of us. When we need to move things around, or have company for dinner, the big pan comes out, and is much appreciated. I feel that the Falk/Bourgeat shape is very nearly ideal for its intended use.
The 4.5 to 5 quart Falk and Bourgeat sauciers have a similar amount of surface area as an 11" frying pan. The smaller (3 quarts or less) sauciers seem to have more curve (eg. the same radius but in a smaller pan) and thus are less useful for searing or sauteeing. We use our 4.5qt saucier for all sauteeing and almost all searing tasks; it does most everything, with the obvious exception of heating small volumes of liquid - it will heat them just fine, but they'll reduce very quickly due to the heat transfer and large surface area. (Our affordable-at-the-time 1.5qt saucier is better for that.) One of my wife's specialties is skin-on chicken breasts, seared and then thrown into the oven with tomatoes, capers, olives, and garlic -- the sort of meal where this design excels.
Unfortunately, nobody else seems to have come out with a similarly shaped pan to the SLT piece, and they discontinued it. Every so often you'll see one on eBay, or in a SLT store's clearance bin; it's great for 2 people. For 4 or more people, the bigger saucier shape is more useful, but it's a lot pricier as well (copper was never cheap, but now it's rather outrageous). This presents a bit of a problem if you frequently have guests, or like to cook lots of things where crowding would be an issue (in that case you might consider a big copper frying pan, which costs less than a sauteuse or saucier).
It's hard to justify purchasing a substantial copper pan because the dollar is weak and copper is in high demand. On the other hand, those big pieces take the greatest advantage of copper's desirable characteristics. I've made money every time I re-sold a copper pan on eBay, so I guess there are others out there who appreciate the virtues of heavy copper, as well. It's great stuff, but as I'm sure you realize, a good cook can work magic with crappy tools, whereas a lousy cook won't notice the difference. Plus you can't put heavy copper in the dishwasher.
That said, if my kitchen caught fire, assuming my wife and daughter were safe, I'd grab my chef's knife with one hand, and the big saucier with the other, and we'd be fine with that.
re: ttriche
Dude, you're a genius.
I don't know what piece is best but they have great prices on the All-Clad copper core on Ebay. They are going for 50%-65% off or more. Also try www.cookwarenmore.com for cosmetic seconds with very small imperfections if you can even find them!
re: blondelle
I saw a number of pieces on Ebay, but they get bid up very quickly and I found the process too labor-intensive and anxiety-producing. Many thanks for the reference to the cookwarenmore site! Their All Clad prices are as much as 1/3 off retail with full lifetime guarantee.
Since you are depleting the inheritance....
I suggest Mauviel . I have one saucepan (SS lined) that a very generous friend gifted me with (dragged over from Paris, no less). I adore it. Just fantastic. But it is a bit high maintainance, as any copper pan is -- exterior-wise.
Since you live in or near SF, you can try visiting Sur La Table in the Ferry Bldg, or their other locations and browsing the clearance aisle. Sometimes there will be vastly discounted stuff they're discontinuing, or possibly some display models. I got my sur la table branded 10" copper (2mm thickness) stainless steel lined fry pan for $50, discounted off their "introductory" price of $100. They might have another laying around. You might get lucky and get some display models, returns, or discontinued copperware.
After a flurry of diligent research informed by all of the helpful posts, I decided to go with solid copper, a Bourgeat 9 1/2" saucier (they call it a "flared saute pan") from
Great website with lots of information, very good prices, and Don, the owner, picks up the 800 number himself and will happily spend time discussing the comparative virtues of different brands, different styles of pan, etc. His prices are set to go up as of 2/1/08 because of the dismal state of the dollar and the escalating price of copper due to the Chinese cornering of the market. I fear this may be the "gateway drug" to a full set of copper cookware. But even if I'm squandering my kid's inheritance, at least she'll have a beautiful copper pan to remember me by.
re: dordogne
Check out Cookin' on Divisadero in SF. It's a bit hit or miss, and the joint is usually a mess, but she's got a lot of copper in the back. Not always well priced, but every so often I get lucky there.
re: rabaja
good tip, I'll check them out next time i'm in the neighborhood.
re: dordogne
Wow, I just looked at Don's price on the 9.5" saucier. Great choice!
I hesitate to say "value" and "copper" in the same sentence, but it's the least-worst value I've seen on such a pan since GalaSource took down their Matfer listings on eBay :-). And Don ships free, too.
Unless the entire universe replaces their gas stoves with induction, your daughter will likely be able to resell the piece to pay for her college textbooks. Copper doesn't ever seem to get any cheaper as time goes by.
re: dordogne
Sorry to dig up a year old thread, but I was hoping to get Dordogne's verdict on the bourgeat 9.5 saucier.
I am wavering on purchasing one from trulythefinest.com, the prices are so good I can barely resist. I just wanted a final word before I but it, hide it in my closet, and then tell my fiance that someone must have bought it for us as a surprise wedding gift.
re: polarflint
A friend of mine recently bought two pieces of Bourgeat copper cookware -- a sauce pan and a large casserole -- from trulythefinest.com, and loves them both. Their prices do seem unbelievably low. I just ordered the 11" casserole with lid for $272. Mychefsfavorites.com has the exact same piece specially priced at $500.
BTW, that 9 1/2" flared saute pan that Dordogne purchased is priced (with lid) today at $362 on mychefsfavorites.com, and at $183 on trulythefinest.com. That price difference really has me scratching my head in disbelief. Can these REALLY be the exact same pieces?
re: CindyJ
Well we fill find out. I got permission from the fiance (asked her while she was falling asleep) and purchased the 9.5 this morning. I will make a full report once I receive the pan. Fingers crossed.
re: CindyJ
Stuff at Truely the finest looks refurbished to me. It still seems new but if you look closely you'll see some slight imperfections. Still a good buy.
re: krbtv
When you say it "looks refurbished", what, exactly do you mean? Have you ordered pieces from them that have been delivered in less-than-perfect condition? The photos on the TFF website are manufacturer's photos, and regardless of the website you use for ordering Bourgeat copper cookware, it's shipped from the same, single USA distributor in Van Nuys, CA.
re: CindyJ
Looks like someone had it, didn't like it so sent it back without packing it well. Many scratches on the stainless steel. Would take a picture of it but since it's a mirror finish it's hard to take the photo. The copper side looks scratched up too. Ususally new items are well packed...
That's probably why the prices are cheap at TTF, maybe they sell returns from people who never cooked on the cookware. It's still a good value and at that price margin I would definetly buy something else from them....
re: krbtv
I don't agree with you. TTF doesn't warehouse the copper cookware. They can process your order, but when it's sent, it's sent from the Bourgeat distributor, not from TTF. Regardless of where you place the order, it's all sent from the one and only U.S. Bourgeat distributor, located in CA. The cartons are sealed by the manufacturer in France. If I had received a piece that looked to be in less than perfect condition, I'd first call Bourgeat in CA. In fact, I believe the bill of lading tells you to do exactly that. At least at Bourgeat you can speak directly to a human being. That's just not possible when you contact customer service at TTF.
I never received the first piece I ordered from TTF. They never responded to my email or voice mail inquiries. I ended up canceling that order, but when I check my account online, it still shows up as an open order. I've never been billed for it, so I'm not overly concerned.
The prices at TTF were low, I'm convinced, because they made a mistake on their website. If you look back there today,you'll see that the prices have all been hiked waaaaay up -- double or even triple what they were a month ago.
I'll never do business with TTF again. It's too frustrating when there's a problem. My last order was received incomplete. I had ordered two lids in addition to the one piece of copper. The copper pan came, but not the lids, and they've billed me for the whole amount. Bourgeat tells me they never received the order for the lids, only for the copper. AmEx is currently investigating the charge, and they've credited my account for the price of the two pieces not received plus the shipping. Makes me glad I used AmEx for the purchase.
re: CindyJ
My carton was not sealed. It had been opened and retaped with clear tape on top of the original red/clear tape.
re: CindyJ
Bourgeat was supposed to be sending me another one - I have yet to receive it. Not interested in taking the 25% hit for returns. For the price I paid for it - it's really no big deal. I also have a Falk 11" fry pan. I'll probably use the Bourgeat soon because it seems like they are not going to send another one.
Do not waste your money on All-Clad copper core!
Take a look at Falk copper cookware. http://www.copperpans.com/
re: Demented
Thanks Demented, now you got me jonesing for that $200 pan.
Seriously though, how long will that pan last? It's pretty much perfect apart from the cost (I refer specifically to the saucier pan, half frying pan, half saucepan)
re: Soop
What's really shocking is that All Clad has increased their prices so you can now buy Mauviel for little more than the cost of All clad.
The last time I was in WS a 3 quart All Clad copper core was $310 while a Mauviel was $325!
Also some one noted the Mauviel series at WS. They carry more than one series so you have to pay attention to the individual pot you are interested in. They carry some tin lined and some SS lined.
I have snagged some killer deals on individual Mauviel pieces on eBay. Copper is a pain to keep clean but the performance is fantastic.
re: Fritter
Which is better, tin or SS?
re: Demented
Cheers D :)
re: Soop
Neither Tin or SS is "better". Tin will last many, many years and can be re-lined easilly. If you get a great price on a tin lined Mauviel don't pass it up just because it's tin. The majority of their stock pots are tin lined.
Your going to have a hard time melting tin on your stove at home with any sort of normal use. I'd expect 20+ years of hard use before you have to worry about re-lining. AFAIK SS can not be saved once you wear the lining out, if you can wear it out or damage it.
re: Fritter
I have both tin and stainless and one non-stick copper pan, and in general I prefer tin, because it reacts faster, but stainless is attractive, because it can handle high heat, and it's nice to have the combination of non-stick and the even heat distribution of copper for one fry pan. It is not hard to melt tin, if you're not careful.
My family has had tin-lined copperware for around thirty years, and depending on how much you use it, as long as you don't overheat and don't use metal utensils, the tin lining should last 10-20 years with normal home use.
I haven't had to recoat my nonstick pan, but before making the investment, I did make sure that it was possible. There are companies that do this work for home cooks and commercial bakeries that might have hundreds of nonstick loaf pans.
re: David A. Goldfarb
I agree David. Tin lasts a very long time unless abused. I have some tin lined Mauviel that is roughly 15 years old and still in great shape. The only thing I really do differently with Tin is that I don't pre-heat the pans empty.
re: Demented
I have about 20 pieces, most tin-lined, and the pans just need to be retinned every 10-15 years, which is a satisfactory maintenance schedule for me. I've seen nineteenth-century pieces made by Mauviel that are in perfectly good condition and identical in design to contemporary tin lined pieces, requiring only retinning, which is not that hard a service to find. I don't see that as failure, but normal maintenance.
The main attraction of the traditional tin lining is that it doesn't insulate like stainless, so the pan reacts faster to changes in heat and tin is a bit slicker than stainless. The main attraction of stainless is that it requires less maintenance and can take high heat. I have both for different purposes.
If I want high heat and to be able to preheat the pan, I've also got a couple of Sitram Catering pans and a few other items. As far as ruggedness, durability, even heat distribution, and value go, Sitram Catering line is probably the best option out there. One size doesn't fit all.
re: David A. Goldfarb
"As far as ruggedness, durability, even heat distribution, and value go, Sitram Catering line is probably the best option out there"
HEY! That's enough of that. JB Prince already gets enough of my check!
re: Fritter
Williams Sonoma has a 3 quart copper core saute/simmer pan for $149. Most people here have dismissed the AC copper because of its price -- I'm wondering if anyone thinks it's worth buying when it's comparable in price to AC's SS line. I realize it may not be as good as a "true" copper pan, but those are out of my reach. Has anyone used the AC copper core? Is it worth picking up at a (relatively) good price? Thoughts?
re: herring
Pappatty did and think it has better heat response than the standard All Clad stainelss
Here is Pappatty's thought:
re: herring
Herring, I would go with either D5 4qt saute/simmer for $149 or tri-ply SS 4qt saute/simmer for $99 (special at WS outlet last week) instead. I saw the 3 qt AC copper core saute/simmer you mentioned last month in person but it is just too small to me as a saute/simmer pan. Many do not like 3 qt saute pan and rather want to have 4 qt instead, too. For 3 qt, i find the AC copper core saucier more versatile. it can be used for saute, too. Luckily, I cound find the same shape saucier as tri-ply SS version, which was a closeout, less than $90. I love this saucier a lot. I have no pieces from Copper core other than a small butter warmer, so I do not know anything on the difference of performance.
re: herring
Thanks, CK -- I saw that thread as well. Was hoping for a bit more feedback. Hobbybaker -- that 4 qt looks huge! I generally only cook for two, though I do entertain fairly frequently. I'll take another look in the store ... the saucier is beautiful and surely better than the Calphalon one I own, but it's more than twice the price of the saute/simmer pan so I'm afraid it's not a contender! Thanks for your thoughts, though.
re: herring
At comparable pricing, I'd always buy the Copper Core. I don't use my A-C CC 10" omelette pan on high heat & I don't have a gas range for quick heat adjustments, so my experience is severely hobbled. Compared to my Calphalon tri-ply 10" omelette pan, the A-C CC has a touch better cooking response. The A-C is much heavier than the same sized Calphalon & heats more evenly. I rarely use the Calphalon even though the differences are small for my uses.
re: Demented
Hey, I just found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Marco-Pierre-...
It's SS and 1.5 mm copper, but it's much cheaper. Surely there can't be much difference?
re: Soop
What I understand is the thicker the material, in this instance copper, the better the thermal properties. Does 2.5mm perform better than 1.5mm I don't know.
For stock pots and many other pieces of cookware tinned copper may be more than sufficient. With frying and sauté pans, or any other piece that might be used with high heat, I'd error on the side of caution.
To me, tin takes more care than stainless, only using soft (wood, silicone) utensils, only a soft sponge or dish towel when washing. Metal tools, abrasive cleaners and scrubber type sponges will wear through the tin very fast.
I had a new ½ quart tinned copper sauce pan that needed re-tinning in a little more than a year. As EPA restrictions get tougher and tougher (here in the sates), finding a place to re-tin your cookware gets harder. On top of that, the cost and time it takes to have cookware re-tinned is prohibitive.
FYI, Tin mets around 448, This is well below most oven application and many cooktop uses.
re: Demented
"I'd error on the side of caution"
I've never had any issues with tin lined Mauviel however I do agree with this for those who are not familiar with the limitations of tin.
re: Soop
Try this link http://www.amazon.com/White-Collectio...
Seems like a good price and copper amount is adequate.
re: Soop
I have some thin pieces and some thick ones.
2.5-3.5mm will let you do something like saute onions on a medium-low to medium flame, walk away for five minutes, and come back to find your onions still happily caramelizing evenly without burning. Now I wouldn't recommend walking away from a saute pan for five minutes, but I can say that I've been in the kitchen doing other things for five or ten minutes without touching the pan, and everything's gone smoothly. A much less expensive Sitram Catering pan with a 2.5mm copper disk on the bottom will do that too, but the sides of the pan won't heat the same way as a solid copper pan, and it won't react as quickly to heat adjustments as a tin lined copper pan.
A sauce or a custard is less likely to burn with a heavy pan and appropriate heat. Hotspots aren't as much of a problem. A large pot will keep a low simmer longer without requiring adjustment.
That said, the thinner pieces are fine for a lot of things. You just need to pay closer attention that nothing's burning. 1.5mm is fine for a gratin dish or casserole or a pot for boiling water or melting butter or a pan for a quick saute where you're watching it closely and keeping the food moving in the pan.
Most restaurant food, after all, is prepared in relatively inexpensive cast aluminum pans on stoves that put out way more heat than your average home rangetop. Cast aluminum has pretty even heat distribution, but eventually the pans get so warped they won't sit flat on the burner, and the heat distribution isn't going to be terribly even, but it doesn't matter, because the line cook knows how it all works and is paying attention to the food on the flame all the time and is keeping it all in motion.

I've been waiting to tell you about the new MAC Prep + Prime Beauty Balm SPF 35 since earlier this week but the press release just ended up in my inbox today!
The product was originally available at select Travel Retail locations throughout Asia. I believe mine was purchased in Japan via a Duty Free shop at the airport. I've had it for a while now but didn't review since it was so difficult to locate in the US however I'll be reviewing mine tomorrow and I think I'll indulge in the US version as well to see if the formula is the same or different from the Asian release. I suspect it'll be the same overall though.
Let's have a look!

Review: Toshiba THNSNF512GCSS 512GB SSD
Way back in 1987 Toshiba invented NAND flash memory, yes that is correct, one quarter of a century ago. One wonders if the inventor, Dr. Fujio Masuoka could have envisaged what NAND has become today, and the applications that NAND flash memory is used for. Without NAND, there would be no SD cards, no smart mobile phones, no USB pen drives, and of course no SSDs.
NAND was developed from EEPROM, the big difference from NAND to EEPROM is, that NAND flash can be erased and written in blocks, whereas an EEPROM had to be completely erased before it could be reprogrammed. Of course modern NAND has come a long way in the past 25 years. It has got faster, and smaller.
The SSD I'm looking at today is from the manufacturer who invented NAND, Toshiba. The THNSNF512GCSS, which Toshiba were kind enough to send me for review, is in fact the first SSD to use 19nm toggle mode MLC NAND. The THNSNF range of SSDs is available in capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. The model I will be looking at today is the 512GB version.
Toshiba company information
Toshiba should need no introduction, but those of you who would like to find out more about Toshiba, can do so at their website.
The Toshiba THNSNF512GCSS – 512GB SSD
Now it's time to take a look at the drive itself and what it came shipped with.
The SSD I received was a bare drive, and arrived in a cardboard box, with no markings.
Inside the box
The retail Toshiba THNSNF512GCSS 512GB SSD
Drive top
The top of the unit is made of metal, and as you can see, the review sample had no label.
Drive underside
On the underside of the SSD, I found a label which displays the SSD model number, storage capacity, and indicating that the SSD was manufactured in the Philippines. The label also states that the firmware version is FSXAN102, but our review sample arrived with firmware version FSR1N101, which is most likely a later version of the firmware. The bottom of the case is also made of metal and acts as a heat sink for the SSD controller and NAND.
The case itself is 7mm thick and designed to be housed in a standard 2.5 inch drive bay, or a 3.5 inch drive bay using a converter bracket.
Now let's head to the next page, where we look in more detail at the Toshiba THNSNF512GCSS SSD…..
