<li><strong>A celebration of the achievements and contributions of American workers</strong> &#8211; Oregon was the first state to recognize Labor Day as a Holiday in 1887.  It wasn&#39;t until 1894 that Labor Day became a U.S. Holiday. #1 above is the official reason for the Labor Day holiday, and the other nine reasons below are merely additional reasons to celebrate.</li>
<li><strong>A day off work </strong>- Nobody can object to having a day off work at the end of summer. While we have roughly the same amount of holidays as say our brethern in the U.K., they have a mandatory 20 days of vacation or more than twice the vacation time that the average worker enjoys in the U.S.</li>
<li><strong>A three day holiday</strong> &#8211; The three day (Monday) holiday has become a ritual due to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 which applies to all Federal Holidays except for New Years, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.</li>
<li><strong>A time for barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings</strong> &#8211; It would seem odd for most American&#39;s to celebrate Labor Day without some form of barbecue, picnic, or family gathering. Indeed, this appears to be part of the original Labor Day charter which called for a parade followed by a festival for workers and their families.</li>
<li><strong>The end of summer</strong> &#8211; It seems like a good marker for the end of summer. Vacations are over. Except for a few busloads of Germans and French, our national parks have emptied out. The lifeguards are packing up their equipment.</li>
<li><strong>The beginning of the school year</strong> &#8211; Labor Day is particularly a nice holiday for those who have kids going back to school right afterwards. Families take their final summer trips before school over the Labor Day Holiday. However, it seems that many schools are now starting up in the middle of August so maybe reason #6 will go by the wayside. </li>
<li><strong>The beginning of football season</strong> &#8211; For sure Labor Day is a good signal to begin talking about football and for many folks to join the fantasy football league and give up on their favorite baseball team (if they&#39;re not playoff bound).</li>
<li><strong>Time to change your wardrobe </strong>- For high brows, Labor Day was also the time to quit wearing white (or seersucker) and move back to the drab dark suits that they wear for the rest of the year.</li>
<li><strong>A day of rest </strong>- As an extra day of rest there are some who might question the rest they get in the traffic jam returning from the beach late on Monday afternoon, but in general a day at the beach is usually preferred to a day at the office.</li>
<li><strong>Annual Labor Day Appliance Sale at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center</strong> &#8211; (We had to get this in. <img src='http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  This year it&#39;s not just a Labor Day Sale, but a 3 day long event with the best prices of the year and some unbelievable special terms that we can&#39;t yet discuss.

<p> A very popular configuration in the kitchen has become a cooktop with a wall-oven underneath. It&#39;s a space saving solution that has good esthetics with a nice uninterrupted site line on the countertop as well as several other advantages over a freestanding or slide-in range.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wpid-Photo-Jul-16-2012-543-PM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[1408]" title="Problem Solved - A 36" wall oven from Wolf"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wpid-Photo-Jul-16-2012-543-PM.jpg?resize=302%2C196" id="blogsy-1342564031056.5212" class="alignnone" alt="" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>

<p>Customers are often frustrated however, that when they choose a cooktop that is 36&#8243; wide, the oven is only 30&#8243; wide and therefore doesn&#39;t really match. Not to worry. Wolf makes a great 36&#8243; wall oven that will fit nicely under your choice of 36&#8243; cooktops.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wpid-Photo-Jul-16-2012-542-PM.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" rel="lightbox[1408]" title="Problem Solved - A 36" wall oven from Wolf"><img src="http://i0.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wpid-Photo-Jul-16-2012-542-PM.jpg?resize=456%2C297" id="blogsy-1342564031104.7668" class="aligncenter" alt="" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<p> Its unframed door design gives the Wolf L Series 36&#8243; Built-In Single Oven a contemporary look. Dual convection delivers superior results and faster cooking; the temperature probe gives you fine control. The easy-to-use electronic control panel rotates into position. When not in use, it’s hidden behind a stainless steel panel.</p>
<p>No compromise: you get the 36&#8243; cooktop you want and have a great 36&#8243; oven underneath. Just look at the list of features that your new Wolf oven will come with:</p>
<blockquote><p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Dual convection system with two fans and four heating elements that deliver powerful even heat distribution.</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Hidden back element and recessed broil element allow use of the entire oven cavity</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Wolf exclusive spring and damper door hinge system for smooth opening and closing</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Ten cooking modes—bake, roast, broil, convection bake, convection roast, convection broil, convection, bake stone (accessory required), dehydrate (accessory required) and proof</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Rotating glass touch control panel that can disappear when the oven is not in use</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Stunning cobalt blue porcelain oven interior</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Five level rack guides, three adjustable oven racks; one full-extension easy glide, one full-extension door glide and one standard.</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Large viewing triple-pane window and dual halogen lights make for easy viewing during the cooking process</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Hidden bake element and recessed broil element</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Temperature probe and broiler pan are included</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Self-clean, delayed start and Sabbath feature</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Door hinge with hydraulic damper</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Dual interior halogen lighting</font></p>
<p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">Star-K Kosher certified as Sabbath and holiday-compliant</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Wolf wall oven sets itself apart by offering two convection fans, instead of just one, and four heating elements that work in conjunction with one another to provide the most effective method of maintaining consistent even heating in an oven cavity, allowing multiple pans to be cooked at the same time with no hot spots and no rotating.</p>
<p>Enjoy a Worry-Free Ownership Experience.</p>
