toasters - why don't they work properly?
I mean for longer than the first few days of use!
And affordable for the masses of course!
How many of us buy a new toaster every year or so, in hopes of evenly coloured golden brown bread to start our day with?
How many of us put up with the same old toaster....and bread that is unevenly toasted?
Bread that is browned only on the bottom half of the slice?
Bread that is browned only on one side, with the other side being barely coloured?
Bread that is browned only in the middle while the edges are warmed and slightly crispy but certainly not browned.
Bread that is browned, but only barely, on either side, no matter how high a setting we choose on the dial?
I have a toaster that I bought within a month of moving here and for a few days the toast was lovely.
A little darker than golden, coloured from crust to crust, both sides the same shade.
Very nice.
Now? A small circle of bread in the centre of the slice is browned, one side darker than the other.
Hmpf!! and Pffft!!
This has been my experience with toasters for most of my life, which is why I gave up on them at an early age and resorted to toasting my bread under the griller.
Of my gas stove.
Now that I have an electric stove, this is no longer possible.
Okay, it is possible, but I'm not prepared to pay a fortune in electricity bills just to enjoy a bit of toast in the mornings.
Because, as you may recall, an electric grill takes forever to heat up, (costing thousands of dollars, which may or may not be a slight exaggeration), and even longer to cool down.
So I went back to a regular toaster, for the not so often occasions that I fancy a bit of toast with my juice.
And I was happy with it for about a week.
I'm not happy.
Is there a toaster out there that does evenly browned slices of bread?
From crust to crust.
Day after day, month after month, year after year?
Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to buy?
Something that doesn't take up all available space in a kitchen, especially a kitchen that has only two square feet of available space? (Possibly two and a half...).
Something that doesn't require a degree in rocket science to operate it?

The whole problem started when they made toasters that popped up by themselves and that had multiple settings for light, tan, toasted and charcoal broiled. Back when the toaster had two sides that you pulled down and turned the toast around in it yourself the toast was always perfect. Fortunately ours has a pop up button which we check regularly through the toasting. It's the only way to get perfect toast.
ReplyDeleteHi River,
I don't trust them. They lead me into a false sense of security by popping a perfect slice of toast out and then, when I'm at my most vulnerable, lay a piece that's burnt to a cinder. Happens with every toaster I've ever had.
They want world domination - and they are wearing us all down - slowly and inexorably.
I feel a new post coming on...
PMOurs is a monster, it takes up a massive amount of room and it doesn't toast the top of the slice.
You gotta give it points for enthusiasm though.
The toast doesn't wheeze out the top like happens with some toasters. Nope, ours get launched.
You can catch it on your plate if your reflexes are good enough.
We've had toast thrown into the sink 2 feet away, and once a piece flew into the air and landed back down on the toaster, standing up on it's edge.
So we figure it has entertainment value even if it doesn't cook the toast right.I have this horrible fantasy about toasters, River based on the thought inculcated in me as a child that if you stick in your fork to retrieve that tiny bit of toast lost below in the toaster you could electrocute yourself, unless you first turn off the power.
I also remember the story of a family that died in a house fire several years back and the fire was apparently started overnight while they slept because someone had left a piece of cooked toast in the toaster overnight and had not turned off the power and soon the toast caught fire and the rest of the place then went up in smoke.
So now I make sure there is never any dead toast left in the toaster. Grim tales that come out of toaster stories and I'm sure there are more out there, River. Thanks for the inspiration to rattle on thus and now: Beware.Delores; I remember those toasters, if you got too heavily into your book, the toast burned and the kitchen filled with smoke....
EC; I'd love to go back to using the grill, but it's electric and takes too long to heat up. Just not worth it for two slices.
Plasman; I wait with bated breath for your toast post.
Toni; you have a toast launcher! Maybe yours WAS designed by a rocket scientist.
Elisabeth; I've heard those stories too and always unplug the toaster to retrieve any broken bits from the bottom. I don't believe the house fire one though. Bread left in will n ot catch fire unless someone keeps holding or pushing down the lever to keep the element heating. Perhaps instead the wiring shorted out.
Andrew? No?
R.H. we did that too as kids, we'd use the biggest forks we could find, usually the carving forks, and hold the bread over the flames in the old wood stove. Best toast ever!
Windsmoke; Kambrook? Right then. My next toaster will be a Kambrook. My current one has 7 settings and in the beginning cooked perfect toast on 4 and a half, now I have it on 5 and a half, but it only cooks the middle circle.It's the coals, red hot coals, for the best toast experience.
Here's a little anecdote, totally gratutitous: In Grade 2 we were asked to draw a picture and tell a story about it. I drew the old man up on the roof doing something with the chimney while mum (who didn't know) was lighting a fire in the hearth. The old man burnt his hands I said and was astonished when everyone laughed, because it was a true story.
At the time I thought only made up things were funny. I've learned different since.Funny thing is that here in Switzerland toast is unheard of as 99% of all bread sold is in baguette form, so we eat it fresh and untoasted.
Therefore, the toaster we did buy has virtually only been used in the first six weeks when we were in our pitiful hotel and now gets dust on it more often than breadcrumbs.Remember when people would get married and among the wedding presents were half a dozen toasters? The sort that cooked toast evenly? The ones with swing out doors? Electric toasters of the manual, non-self-turning-off kind?
Asked what she wanted for her 60th birthday a few years ago, The Other joked half-seriously "an old-fashioned toaster". Ooh, said a friend, we've just bought our first automatic toaster and the one we got for a wedding present 500 years ago is in the shed.
Said friend keeps hinting that if only she had known... but we ain't letting it go for no amount of money.
Love the story of the Apollo space docking station toaster, though.I've been itching to tell the Elephant's Balls on Toast joke*. But (as my latte social science niece would say) I "wondered if I should".
But here it is:
A bloke enters a cafe and orders elephant's balls on toast. The waiter goes off to the kitchen. A minute later he returns: "I'm sorry sir, you can't have that."
"Why not?
"We've got no toast."
*Told to me by a dirty old drunk in the wee hours at the Pieteria all-night cafe.
Well. I was young.FruitCake; I remember many jokes about weddding gifts being dozens of toasters and not much of anything else useful. surprisingly, I didn't get a single toaster when I married.
R.H. HAHAHAHAHA!! I think that's very funny.
I frequently write Christmas as christmas. Mostly it just happens becaue I forget to capitalise it. Then I forget to correct it. I don't think it matters all that much.just as an afterthought -- Ruth Cracknell wrote a beautiful and really sad memoir called Journey From Venice, and in it she mentioned that she and her husband were living in this tiny place that had the worlds' oldest toaster, it took forever to cook the toast but it was perfect. Dry and light and crispy. Maybe that's the secret -- slow cooking!!
I thoroughly recommend the book.

1. Answer structure
Provide salary scale which is acceptable for you. Or answer that: I'd like to have the salary which matches my ability. Yet I'd also like to know the salary scale for this position.
Then explain that you will give the more specific number if you know work details.
2. Answer tips
• In any case, you should not answer this question right away because the salary you recommend can be too high or too low.
• Before answering, ask for description for the job; the goals, the difficulties and how to assess the working performance.
• You can also give the answer via email after the interview.
• Do not answer this question too generally or too safe, the interviewers like numbers. You can answer in a certain range, but you need the job requirements before giving the exact number.
3. Answer samples
1. I don't care very much about salary. What means more to me is the policy and working environment the company is offering and supplying me with.
2. I look up to salary not to make ends meet, but to enjoy my life. I'm afraid I am not the one who only concerns about paying bills but not others. Therefore, when I look for a job, I expect a high consideration which suits my ability and goals.

Filner to run for mayor of San Diego
SAN DIEGO — U.S. Rep. Bob Filner announced Wednesday that he is running for mayor of San Diego.
Filner filed paperwork with the city clerk's office Wednesday to begin raising funds for what he called "day one of an aggressive campaign to bring government back to the people."
Story Continued Below
KGTV reported that Filner had recently moved from Chula Vista to San Diego. Filner told reporters he wants to re-ignite the city's economy so it offers a living wage to workers.
His campaign office said he does not plan to vacate his congressional seat at this point.
The Democrat was first elected to represent the state's 51st Congressional District in 1992. Before entering Congress, he served on the San Diego City Council and as deputy mayor.
Filner was chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee before the GOP gained control of the House.
Filner joins an increasingly crowded field of candidates in San Diego.
Also running for the top post of the state's second largest city are San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Councilman Carl DeMaio and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher - all of whom are hoping to become the Republican front-runner.
Term limits prevent current Mayor Jerry Sanders from running for re-election. He is endorsing Dumanis.

Need For Speed is revving its engines for a new wave of video game consoles.
Publisher Electronic Arts confirmed the long-running racing series will appear on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year, along with versions for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on Nov. 19.
Need For Speed Rivals will be developed by Ghost Games, EA's newest studio based in Sweden.
"We wanted to build something -- a new team that could come with some new energy that could embrace new thinking," says executive producer Marcus Nilsson, who also worked on the racing title Shift 2: Unleashed. "Need For Speed needs innovation."
First launched in 1994, Need For Speed has been one of EA's flaghship franchises, with a slew of annual releases.
For Rivals, players choose between cops and racers, speeding through countless locales and racking up experience through a variety of challenges.
New to Need For Speed is AllDrive, an online feature that allows users to easily switch between single-player racing and zipping down roads with friends online. Once a player enter's their friend's racing realm, they can keep playing however they prefer.
"I can play single player and continue my progression in that world," says Nilsson. "But if we meet, our experiences will merge. You can go after me, I can go after you, or if we're both cops in this world, we can start going co-op after the racers we were chasing after."
The Autolog returns, allowing players to compare stats with friends or issue challenges. There's also several customization options for vehicles, from fresh paint jobs to turbo boosts and EMPs.
Delivering Need For Speed to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will result in more detailed visuals, improved effects and even a second-screen experience, although Nilsson would not detail what that entails. He adds the latest changes under Need For Speed's hood go beyond the technical.
"The next generation is more about a mindset than anything else," says Nilsson. "It's about connectivity, it's about convenience. It's about how you can actually alter the gameplay rather than just make more beautiful graphics."

MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG:Thanks for taking the time to chat. How are you?
BILLY BRAGG: I'm doing well, thank you. I've been waiting patiently this afternoon for [Woody Guthrie's daughter] Nora Guthrie to get to her office. We have a little difficulty with … there's a fascist party in Britain called the British National Party -- they're a racist/fascist party, they have a record label, of course, and they just put out this album by this guy who writes white supremacist songs, and one of the songs is a rewrite of "This Land is Your Land."
MAG: Oh man, that's awful.
BB: Someone said to me earlier today, how do you think Woody would feel? I know how the guy would feel, I've always resisted speaking for him because it's not my job, but lemme just tell you, it said on his guitar, "This Machine Kills Fascists" …how do you think he would feel? Hopefully Nora will be able to do something because she's got the moral authority to do something about it, because they're gonna give the song away in schools, believe it or not.
MAG: Is it depressing at all to know that in 2006, these things are still happening?
BB: You know what's worse? These bastards won a seat on the council in my hometown. The first seat they've won in London for 10 years, and in my hometown, an industrial area in East London. My own people. It was just unbelievable.
MAG:So when you think of all the years you've spent fighting this kind of thing around the world and then you see it happen in your own backyard, what does that do to your spirit?
BB: Well, it just reminds me that the fight goes on. I came into politics to fight against these people with Rock Against Racism, you know, and if you look at my last album [2002's England, Half English] I'm trying to address issues of identity again, and I think unfortunately that in the wake of 9/11 and in my country, since last summer's June Bombings, which were done by British citizens, the issue of who does and who doesn't belong has become a real big hot potato. In fact, I've been writing a book for the past year on this subject, and it really was inspired by this party, the BNP, winning a seat in my hometown. It made me think, is this all I am? And if this isn't who I am, why not? What happened to me that makes me different from those people?
MAG: What do you think it is?

We look into the career graphs of some directors who aced the craft in the past but seem to be losing their touch now
Practice makes perfect. And these directors have practised their art, retaining a distinctive trademark in their chosen genres for years now. But apart from a few like David Dhawan, who continues adapting his trademark style to suit changing tastes, others haven't had much success with staying the same. Read on to know why a change is long overdue…
David Dhawan
He is fond of saying he has survived for so long because he is constantly learning and imbibing the needs, tastes and requirements of coming generations. Stagnancy is death for a creative artiste.
Madhur Bhandarkar
Made a disastrous start with a formulistic farce called Trishakti. He found his métier with Chandni Bar and went on to re-write the language of commercial Hindi cinema for an adult audience with Page 3 and Fashion. But then Bhandarkar got stuck in a single groove. He made Corporate, which showed us that the formula of drawing inspiration from real life can only last for so long. Heroine was nothing but Fashion relocated from the modelling to the movie world. His attempt at sex comedy in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji felt flat and fell flat. Madhur's next is Calendar Girls which apparently would have "12 hot newcomers" telling their story of exploitation and redemption. Errrr…Fashion 3?
Ram Gopal Varma
He changed the face of horror and gangsterism in Indian cinema with Raat and Satya. And then his horror films became horrific in an unexpected way and the underworld films began to threaten all aesthetic consideration. Flop after flop after flop made no difference to Ramu. He continued to plunder the fertile fields of filmmaking that he had so confidently ploughed. Finally, good sense prevailed. Ramu has taken a break. He has gone back to his home town Hyderabad to rediscover his roots. We will wait for his recovery and return.
Prakash Jha
Once was the wizard of raj-tantra. What went wrong? After giving political cinema in India commercial sanction in Gangaajal, Apaharan and Raajneeti, Prakash has to his discredit three films that were expected to be game changers. Alas, Aarakshan, Chakravyuha and Satyagraha were bitterly disappointing. Prakash is now writing a gritty cop drama, hopefully without his signature stamp of mobs rushing for revenge and fleets of government cars speeding down at rush hour. The Ambassador car is dead. So are the governmental conclaves on the roads. Reinvention needed!
Sajid Khan
Sajid's forte was farcical laughter aimed at everyday quirks. His comedy is broad, really broad. But now it's become stubbornly rigid and repetitive. He began his career with three major hits (Heyy Babyy, Housefull and Housefull 2) but now after Himmatwala and Humshakals, this exuberant over-confident teller of comic stories needs to know that audiences are no longer tickled by the funny-broom that he uses to sweep all logic under the table. He needs to upgrade the humour. He needs to make audiences laugh again. He has it in him. If he has done it thrice, he can do it again.
Subhash Ghai
The Showman is now facing rejection from mass audiences. Ghai once made Hero, Saudagar and Ram Lakhan. His script sense was somewhat shaky. But what carried his tales to boxoffice glory were the towering actors and the wonderful dialogues. Now, after Kisna and Kaanchi he needs to work with a young dynamic team — the way Yash Chopra did — to remain 24 till he dies.
Sudhir Mishra
He has made 11 films. All deal with politics and crime of the Indian middleclass. The dark brooding cynical style of storytelling has not changed over the years. Of these only three of Sudhir's films have made money. His last film Inkaar about sexual harassment at work places was found to be shaky by many critics. Sudhir needs to do some soul-searching.The raw realism if his cinema needs serious upgrading.
Vishal Bhardwaj
Once Vishal made Omkara and Maqbool.. The style was stunningly original and fearless. Even Kaminey has it's critics. However his recent films show a smug over-confidence bordering on self-indulgence. This trendsetting director's last two films Saat Khoon Maaf and Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola were damp squibs. Maybe Vishal needs to look within himself to see where the guttural storytelling needs to be updated.

Full disclosure right up front. I'm a former marketing gal and now an HR gal. I'm clearly going to be biased in my opinions about Juniper and will most definitely espouse the virtues of the company and how great it is to work here. But truth be told, it's honestly how I feel about Juniper. This really IS where I can do my best work.
I've been with the company for a little over 2 years. It was my first corporate gig after an exciting life at various advertising agencies. (As Don Draper would tell you, ad agency years count like dog years.) I was immediately validated for making the right choice, impressed by the brand work being championed, the strength and diversity of the executive team and the vibrant culture of innovators constantly striving to solve problems. After a year at Sunnyvale HQ I took advantage of Juniper's flexible work environment options and attained virtual worker status so I could return to my home state of Missouri and be near family.
Being selected to champion a body of work we call "Life at Juniper" I was exposed to many colleagues around the globe. We interviewed them for videos http://youtu.be/Inif0LoZbCA and an interactive experience http://www.juniper.net/us/en/company/careers/story

The Country Music Association broadcast its first ever "CMA Country Christmas" Monday night (Nov. 29) on ABC. It featured not only wonderful performances of the holiday favorites, but humorous memories and stories.
- We loved Sugarland's rockabilly "Winter Wonderland" to open the show. Host Jennifer Nettles is such a cutie. On "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," we didn't actually know she could sound like that — it was very different from her normal style.
- Brad Paisley hilariously remarked, "The great thing about havin' kids is you can go to a toy store now and I don't feel like a weirdo."
- LeAnn Rimes did a sex pot version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" while surrounded by sailors. We aren't sure that's the best image for her to project, but OK. Her "White Christmas" was nice, but we just can't listen to anyone but Bing Crosby sing that one.
- Rascal Flatts' "I'll Be Home for Christmas" over a montage of servicemen and women with their families was a sniffler.
- We maintain that Martina McBride has one of the best voices on the planet. Her "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was gorgeous and then her "O Holy Night" just absolutely blew us away. That song is incredibly difficult and she did it perfectly. It brought tears to our eyes.
- "Candy Cane Christmas" is a song Darius Rucker released last year, but we hadn't ever really heard it before. We liked it. Also — Hootie!
- The footage of Brad Paisley as a teenager playing his first song, "Born on Christmas Day," was adorable. But his "What Child Is This?" was incredible, what a musician.
- Little Big Town once again showed off their harmonies on "Go Tell It On the Mountain" and it was just as good as their piece of "You Belong With Me" during the CMA Awards.
- Kellie Pickler and the girls brought us "Santa Baby" — it was pretty good, but we kept getting distracted by the way she'd jiggle on "hurry down the chimney tonight."
- "Run Run Rudolph" is one of our least favorite holiday numbers, but Sheryl Crow and Brad Paisley actually made it fun.
- The all-star finale on "Jingle Bell Rock" was cute, we liked the way they took turns on some solos. Reba McEntire and Jennifer Nettles sounded awesome together, their styles really complement each other.
What did you think of the first "CMA Country Christmas"? Would you tune in next year?

Beaches and CoastDue to the fact that is part of a tidal river estuary, the beach at the village itself can be subject to strong and unpredictable currents, so care should be exercised in the water. Better to head half a mile or so north, away from the river mouth. The beach stretches all the way to Tywyn and has a safe reputation due to it's gently-shelving nature, though of course sensible precautions should still be taken. General advice for safe swimming:
MountainsSnowdonia's mountains claim lives every year. The weather can change very quickly in this part of the World, and this is especially true in the mountains. Make sure you are wearing suitable clothing and footwear, and always carry a suitable map. Ordnance Survey 1:25000 scale Explorer Map OL23 Cadair Idris and Bala Lake is ideal, alternatively the 1:50000 scale Landranger series sheets 124 Dolgellau and Porthmadog and 135 Aberystwyth and Machynlleth.

Katy Perry, Willow, Taylor Swift Among Vogue's Top American Fashion Icons
When it comes to being fashionable, Vogue believes age is nothing but a number. The fashion magazine honored what they are calling "American Idols: Icons of Stateside Style" in their most recent issue, asking some of America's top designers to name their choices for the USA's most stylish lady. Not only were Katy Perry and Taylor Swift included in the roundup, but so was 11-year-old 'Whip My Hair' singer Willow!
Willow was nominated as one of America's most iconic dressers by designer Derek Lam. "Naturally talented, charismatic, unblemished optimism, with the whole wide world open to her possibilities and abilities. I think she is the future-forward American icon," Lam said of the pint-sized singer. We would have to agree, considering that Willow's outfit choices are fun, edgy, well put together, and age appropriate. We can definitely see her style evolving as she grows older.
Also making the cut are fellow songstresses Katy Perry, 26, and Taylor Swift, 21. Designer Tommy Hilfiger couldn't decide between the two beauties for his nomination, so instead he chose both of them. "With Taylor's energetic charisma and Katy's edgy charm, they look as good in a casual summer dress as they do on the red carpet," Hilfiger said of the songbirds.
Who would get your vote as America's most stylish pop star?

Jumping fans register a magnitude 1 or 2 quake during Seahawks TD fumble return
Seahawks fans jumping up and down during Monday night's 22-yard Michael Bennett fumble return for a touchdown registered about a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake.
The University of Washington has a seismometer in a warehouse about a block south of CenturyLink Field, says earth and space sciences professor John Vidale.
The earthquake-like vibration can be seen in the blue wave in this graphic.
The same seismometer captured Marshawn Lynch's "Beast Quake" on Jan. 8, 2011, when he rumbled for a 67-yard touchdown run that clinched a 41-36 playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints.

J.P. Morgan Initiates Coverage on GasLog with Overweight Rating
In a report issued earlier today, J.P. Morgan & Co. initiated coverage for GasLog Ltd. (NYSE: GLOG) with an Overweight rating, and set a price target of $16.50.
J.P. Morgan went on to say that GasLog is "geared to bullish, long-term LNG [Liquefied Natural Gas] demand. Natural gas offers a solution to sovereign energy concerns regarding diversification, security and carbon emissions – all while nuclear power falls further out of favor. Our 2012-16 LNG demand CAGR is 6% as the industry is in the midst of unprecedented capacity growth (compares to only a 2% CAGR for LNG shipping capacity) with an expanding share of LNG-sourced imports relative to pipeline delivery."
GasLog Ltd. closed yesterday at $11.99.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
FBI Was Concerned NYPD's 'Lone Wolf' Case Raised Issues Of Entrapment
The Associated Press also reported that the FBI passed on the case -- involving a bomb plot against New York City post offices and police stations. They believe Pimentel lacked the capability -- financial and otherwise -- to pull off a plot and wouldn't have done it had it not been for the NYPD Intelligence Division's cooperating source.
One law enforcement official told TPM that one of the FBI's concerns centered upon the reliability of the cooperating informant in the case. The FBI was also worried about entrapment issues, an issue which has already been mentioned by a lawyer for the defendant.
Another federal law enforcement source told TPM that state officials were indeed coordinating with their federal counterparts on the Pimentel case for what they described as a lengthy period of time. The source wouldn't discuss precisely what problems federal prosecutors and FBI agents found with the terror sting, but noted that state authorities (unlike the feds) had the ability to bring a conspiracy charge even when the only other player in the conspiracy is on the government's payroll.
An official briefed on the case insisted that locals were working closely with the U.S. Attorney's office and that the two entities have a very strong relationship.
Journalists and supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement have speculated that Bloomberg announced the case on Sunday night to distract from the controversy over the city's handling of protestors in Zuccotti Park last week. A source familiar with the case said that isn't the case and that the timing was completely based on the defendant's actions. The source said that authorities didn't announce the arrest until Sunday night (Pimentel was arrested Saturday afternoon) because they wanted to spend time interviewing him first.
At Sunday night's press conference, New York City officials said they kept the feds informed about the case but didn't really address why they weren't involved. The District Attorney contended that they had to move ahead with the arrest because Pimentel's bomb was nearly operational. Watch:

Story highlights
- Coffeemakers recalled in the United States and Canada
- U.S. agency says apparent malfunction can spew hot water and grounds
- Dozens of injuries reported from faulty brewers sold at major retailers
More than 600,000 coffeemakers are being voluntarily recalled in the United States and Canada due to an apparent brewing malfunction that can release a gusher of steaming water and grounds. More than 61 injuries, including facial and hand burns, have been reported, officials said.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement that a buildup of steam in certain Chinese-made Mr. Coffee Single Cup Brewing System models can force open the brewing chamber and spew the contents.
Importer Sunbeam Products Inc., doing business as Jarden Consumer Solutions based in Boca Raton, Florida, said it had received 164 reports of the malfunction and claims of 61 burn-related injuries.
The coffeemaker priced between $60 and $80 comes in black with silver, red or white trim. It is 11 inches tall and has a Brew Now/Off button and a removable drip tray.
The consumer agency said the water tank is on top of the unit toward the back. The model number is printed on the bottom of the brewer.
The coffeemaker was manufactured in China and sold from September 2010 through August 2012 nationwide at a number of stores including Bed Bath and Beyond, JC Penney, Kmart, Target and Walmart.
Consumers who have the brewer should stop using it and contact Jarden Consumer Solutions for instructions on obtaining a free replacement.
The models in the recall include:

Newsome puts on Ansonia uniform 1 final time
Updated 11:40 pm, Thursday, December 12, 2013
As a freshman on the Ansonia football team, Arkeel Newsome would line up at wide receiver and fill in at running back when senior star Montrell Dobbs would need a break. He would watch as Dobbs ran over and around defenders on his way to 3,445 yards and 40 touchdowns.
A quiet, slender Newsome -- he weighed about 140 pounds -- showed glimpses of future stardom, but there was no reason for coach Tom Brockett to rush the services of the young runner.
Newsome finished with 70 carries for 800 yards and 16 touchdowns, but the Chargers rode the legs of Dobbs to the Class S championship game. That title game ended with a 49-28 loss to St. Joseph. Since then Newsome and his fellow seniors have not walked off a field in losing fashion.
The Chargers have won 42 straight games, two state titles and Newsome has become one of the most storied players in the history of Connecticut football. He has shattered rushing records and is the all-time state leader in rushing yards (10,413) and total touchdowns (183).
Newsome will take the field for Ansonia one last time when the Chargers (14-0) take on Woodland (12-2) Friday night at 7 at Central Connecticut State University's Arute Field. The teams last met on Nov. 20 with Ansonia winning 48-7 in the NVL title game.
"It really hasn't hit me yet," said Newsome, referring to his final game wearing an Ansonia uniform. "This team works really hard and is focused."
Newsome has baffled defenses for four years with a speed and quickness that nobody has been able to match. Whether it's returning kicks, making tackles from his cornerback spot or reversing field on a sweep, Newsome always seems to be on the edge of breaking off a big play.
He doesn't have any training secrets, although he does credit many hours of playing "Kill the Carrier" with friends in his younger days as helping build his quickness.
"Sometimes it is crazy," admitted Newsome when he looks back at some of his runs. "I love making people miss a lot. I just want to make myself better."
Newsome has always been quick to credit his offensive line and fullback after games. There have been plenty of plays this year where the front five of Corey Dzienkiewicz, Ryan Hovan, Antone Mack, Tyler O'Connell and Matt Simon have plowed wide-open lanes with the help of fullback Saiheed Sanders.
"It has been fun," said Simon, a senior and two-year starter, who also served as a waterboy for the team when he was younger. "He (Newsome) has been great. He's always been quiet and we would kid him about it. He's a lot more vocal now."
Newsome has always allowed his legs to do the talking on the field. He has carried the ball 299 times for 3,608 yards and 64 touchdowns (60 rushing, two receiving two punt returns) this season. He set the state single-season rushing record two years ago when he ran for 3,763 yards on 313 carries. Making this year's achievements more amazing is that he has done it while barely playing during the second half of many games due to lopsided scores.
"After what he did his sophomore season it would have been easy for him to let up," said Brockett, who has compiled a 99-7 record since taking over the program in 2006. "He's the best. It's easy to be complacent with all the success he has had, but he keeps getting better. He's a natural runner."
The most frustrating aspect for opposing defenses is that everybody knows what is coming but still can't stop it. The Chargers don't have to get cute calling plays. Once in a while quarterback Jai'Quan McKnight will surprise folks with a pass, but the gameplan remains the same -- run Newsome behind the hogs.
"We know there will be nothing we haven't seen," Woodland coach Tim Shea said. "We know nobody has been able to stop Newsome. We will try to keep him from making the long runs and hopefully hold him to a lot of three- or four-yard gains. Every year we know Ansonia is going to be good."
All the current Chargers are well aware of the program's winning tradition. They will be playing for the team's 19th state championship and for a program that has won more games (759) than any other team in the state. The current winning streak is only seven short of the state record set by Cheshire between 1992-1996. Also, with a win tonight, Ansonia can become the first team in state history to win 15 games in a season.
"This team doesn't overlook anybody," said Brockett. "We don't take anything for granted. You don't know if you can get back."
The one contest that almost turned the NVL and the entire state upside down came on Nov. 7 when Seymour almost shocked the world before losing a 21-20 heartbreaker to the Chargers, Ansonia committed six turnovers in the game and Newsome was held to 112 yards on 26 carries.
"There was no finger pointing after that game," Simon said. "It helped us and showed that we can be beat if we don't play well."
Since that close game Ansonia has not scored less than 48 points in five wins and Newsome has looked better than ever. On Thanksgiving Day he ran for 406 yards and seven touchdowns on 40 carries against rival Naugatuck. He opened up the Class S playoffs by rushing for a career-best 492 yards and seven touchdowns on 26 carries in a 49-21 win over Coginchaug.
And now Ansonia fans will have their final chance to cheer for Newsome, who has already committed to play for UConn.
"People told me how fast it will go by," said Newsome, "but you don't believe them and now it's almost over. We want to win one more."

Lindsay Lohan, never a girl to buckle down and get her career back on track, is still shopping and partying like crazy with her kid sister, Ali Lohan.
After dropping mega-bucks shopping at Fendi Friday, Lindsay left her home at around 9:30 last night with Ali and a pal.
The ladies hopped into their waiting Rolls Royce Phantom and headed to the Sunset Tower hotel, where they partied for a few hours.
Then they hit the Chateau Marmont, where they stayed for a little longer than two hours.
Then the loosened-up ladies went back to Lindsay's house and threw eggs at the paparazzi waiting outside her gated home.
But Lindsay's aim was not so great. More yolks ended up on Lindsay's driver's Rolls Royce than on the laughing and delighted photographers.
Her driver, after shaming the paps, drove off to clean the rancid egg off the hood of his car.
Being Lindsay Lohan's limo lackey has got to be a thankless job.
Wonder if she even apologized to the guy the next day.

Microsoft has received 20 submissions in the $268,000 contest it hopes will result in new security technologies being baked into Windows, a company security strategist said Tuesday.
The "BlueHat Prize" contest, which debuted in August 2011, offers $200,000 as a first prize, $50,000 for second, and a subscription to Microsoft's developer network for third place. The three winners will be flown to Las Vegas this July, when Microsoft will announce the results at the Black Hat security conference.
Microsoft collected 20 entries before the April 1 deadline, said Katie Moussouris, a senior security strategist lead at Microsoft, on a company blog yesterday.
Between now and Black Hat -- which runs July 21-24 -- Microsoft will evaluate the submissions and pick winners, Moussouris said.
BlueHat Prize was not a bug bounty system, where vulnerability experts are rewarded for uncovering specific flaws in software -- but instead was designed to prod researchers to invent novel technologies that would protect Windows from entire classes of memory bugs.
When Microsoft rolled out BlueHat Prize last year, some experts assumed that the company was after a technology or technique to defeat or at least deflect exploits of "return-oriented programming," or ROP vulnerabilities.
ROP bugs can be used by attackers to sidestep current Windows anti-exploit technologies like ASLR, or address space layout randomization.
All submitters -- not just the winners -- will retain intellectual property rights to their work, but must license their technologies to Microsoft on a royalty-free basis. Entries had to provide a prototype 2MB or smaller that ran on Windows and was developed using the Windows SDK (software developer kit).
The licensing provision makes BlueHat Prize an economical way for Microsoft to acquire new security ideas. Even if half of the entries are duplicates or simply not up to snuff, Microsoft could procure 10 technologies or techniques for under $27,000 each, or less than a quarter what Google paid two researchers last month for vulnerabilities and associated exploits in its Chrome browser.
"It's a cheap way to pay someone else to innovate," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security, in an interview today.
"Google and others pay for vulnerabilities," added Storms. "Microsoft has never done that. Instead they're pay for innovation. So instead of paying someone to break their stuff, they are paying someone to make it better."
A panel of Microsoft employees from the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), the Windows group and Microsoft's research arm will judge the entries.
In another blog last week, Moussouris said that the quantity and quality of the entries -- up to at that point only 10 -- had "exceeded our expectations."
She did not name the participants, but did say that they included security researchers "with great track records," individuals or teams from academia, and others.
From her account, most contributors worked close to the April 1 deadline: Half of the 20 total submissions were filed in the last nine days of the contest, and one squeezed in under the wire with just nine minutes to spare last Saturday.
In fact, Microsoft rejected a submission that missed the deadline by just eight minutes. Moussouris cited "fairness to the others" as well as Washington State contest rules as the reasons why the company wouldn't bend.
Although there's virtually no chance that anything Microsoft receives from BlueHat Prize could make it into Windows 8 -- this year's upgrade will likely reach the "release to manufacturing" milestone just weeks after the contest winners are revealed -- the company could roll some of the technologies into a Windows 8 service pack next year, Storms said in a 2011 interview when BlueHat Prize debuted.
Microsoft has done something similar in the past: In mid-2004, it revamped Windows XP's security with Service Pack 2 (SP2).

BEIJING, Nov. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for a "durable outcome" to the fighting between militants in Gaza and Israel.
She was speaking in Jerusalem after holding a late-night meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Clinton was sent to the region from Cambodia, where she was accompanying President Barack Obama on a visit.
At a news conference with Netanyahu, Clinton stressed America's stance as Israel's ally. She said the goal must be a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security and legitimate aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu said Israel would welcome a diplomatic solution to the crisis but threatened further military activity when necessary.
Hillary Clinton said, "In the days ahead, the United States will work with our partners here in Israel and across the region toward an outcome that bolsters security for the people of Israel, improves conditions for the people of Gaza and moves toward a comprehensive peace for all people of the region."
Netanyahu said, "Now if there is a possibility of achieving a long term solution to this problem, through diplomatic means, we prefer that. But if not, I'm sure you understand that Israel will have to take whatever action is necessary to defend its people."

[Produced by Just Blaze]
[Verse 1: Kendrick]
Now everybody serenade the new faith of Kendrick Lamar
This is King Kendrick Lamar
King Kendrick and I meant it, my point intended is raw
Fix your lenses forensics would've told you Kendrick had killed it
Pretend it's a massacre and the masses upon us
And I mastered being the master at dodging your honor
And the chapter that read at 25 I would live dormant like five in the morning
They raid your spot while Kendrick's performing
And if they take everything, know I got
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 2: Dre]
Ay, Dre what's happening wit' it my nigga
Still I'm at it, peel the plastic off it, you can feel the magic
Still I'm laughing at the critics talking, I can see 'em gagging
When I'm back in the back of my city, back in the 'bach
With a batch of them banging Dre Beats with me, look where I'm at
It's the murder cap' and I'm captain at birthing this gangsta rap
It's a wrap when I'm done and I come a long way from a hundred dollars a month
To a hundred mil' in a day, bitch I'm from
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 3: Kendrick]
So come and visit the tire screeching, ambulance, policeman
Won't you spend a weekend on Rosecrans nigga
Khaki creasing, crime increasing on Rosecrans nigga
Kendrick Conan nigga
Where you sword at, hand on the cross and swore that
I do it big as Rasputia for them shooters
Kama Sutra scream fuck your position and make you hold that
I'm trying to stay grounded like four flats
But I know flats and Piru Crip tats
Will swarm on me like a beehive
Hop in the G ride
From the West to the East side
Know that's just how Compton roll
[Verse 4: Dre + Kendrick]
And that's a given
I pass the blunt then pass the torch of course that's my decision
I crash the Porsche then you report that you see me in Benzes
I must report that we import the narcotics you bought it
Then talked about it when crack hit the speakers, the music business
I blow up every time we throw up a record
Depending on what you expecting, I'm sure it's bigger than your religion
Perfected by niggas that manifested music to live in
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 5: Dre]
So tell that gangster throw his set high
Roll it up in a blunt, I'mma take you on the next high
I did exactly what I wanted that's what made them checks fly
In my direction, you never questioned when I said I
Would be a mogul before I visit 2Pac and Left-eye
Eazy and Aaliyah when I see you we gon' test drive
A Lambo in heaven but for now I'm on the redeye
Flying back to my city cuz I'll forever standby
Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 6: Kendrick]
Now we can all celebrate
We can all harvest the rap artists of NWA
America target our rap market, as controversy and hate
Harsh realities we in made our music translate
To the coke dealers, the hood rich
And the broke niggas that play
With them gorillas that know killers
That know where you stay
Roll that kush, crack that case, ten bottles of rosé
This was brought to you by Dre
Now every motherfucker in here say:
"Look who's responsible
For taking Compton international
I make 'em holla"
Ayo Just Blaze, good looking homie
Just Blaze
Ain't no city quite like mine, yeah
In the city of Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
Mom, I finna use the van real quick!
Be back, 15 minutes!
As a closing track for the album, Kendrick teams up with the executive producer and West coast legend Dr. Dre.
Other than "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe", this is the only track from present-day Kendrick's perspective. In an interview with Google Play, Kendrick spoke on the song:
I wrote the lyrics the day I met Dre. I easily got inspired, I just started writing. And that was actually the first studio session I had with Dre. That's the last song on the album for a specific reason. That's the first song I did with Dre, that was the start of my new life.

Take great care of your hair from root to end with Walgreens Hair Care Products. No matter what your hair's characteristics, you can find a variety of daily care and styling products to keep it looking and feeling its best. From shampoos and conditioners to scalp treatments and even hair appliances, Walgreens offers a wide selection of products to help keep your hair healthy and looking beautiful.
All day long, your hair is exposed to sweat from your scalp and impurities in the environment, which build up on the strands and can leave the hair looking and smelling dirty. Shampooing your hair purifies the strands and scalp, lifting away dirt and oil, so that your hair looks and smells better. The hair that you can see outside of your follicles is made up of cells that are no longer alive. As a result, they do not produce materials to keep the strands in good health. Virtually all of the moisture and nutrients necessary to ensure that the hair stays soft and strong must come from your hair care products, and conditioner is the product designed specifically to provide the hair with nutrition necessary to maintain its beauty. Conditioners contain hydrators and other beneficial ingredients that leave the hair more manageable, softer to the touch and more pliable, so it is less likely to break. The key to creating the perfect daily hair care regimen is to select a shampoo and a conditioner for your specific hair type.
Styling aids are not essential for keeping your hair healthy, but they are often necessary to create great looking hairstyles. Products like mousse, gels, serums, pomade and creams make the hair easier to shape and style, while hairsprays and other styling products add hold to keep the tresses in place once they are styled. Mechanical tools like blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons and hot rollers and handheld tools like brushes and combs are also useful for styling the hair and getting looks that you desire. Hair color products are available at Walgreens to temporarily or permanently alter the hue of your locks or to cover gray growth.
Hair care products come in many different types, and some are formulated with the needs of certain individuals in mind. Men's hair care products are made to be simple to use with formulas and scents geared toward the needs and tastes of guys. Children's products are often extra gentle on the skin and eyes to make washing, conditioning and styling kids' tresses simpler for parents and children alike. Ethnic hair care products are made to meet the unique needs of African-American hair, which has a coarser texture and is more prone to dryness and frizz. Natural and organic products use substances found in nature instead of synthetic chemicals for those with sensitive skin and individuals who are striving to lead greener lives.

Dillon Perillo Receives Wildcard Entry to 2013 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal
Peniche, (Portugal - October 1, 2013): Spitting Supertubos barrels, thousands of screaming fans, and a down-to-the-wire ASP World Title race will all take center stage when the world's best surfers descend upon the picturesque Portuguese fishing village of Peniche for the 2013 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal, set to go off October 9 – 20. Also looking to play a leading role in the best barrel riding show of the year will be a pair of hungry wildcards eager to write their own Cinderella story and prove they can compete with the world's elite surfers.
Dillon Perillo has been awarded the first of two event wildcards to compete in the 2013 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal. While better known for his buttery smooth free-surfing and electrifying performances in hi-fi surf films like Lost Atlas and Dear Suburbia, the 23-year-old regular footer from Malibu, California is relishing the opportunity to once again compete against the ASP's Top 34 at pumping Supertubos, widely regarded as Europe's most hollow and powerful beach break.
"Compared to how it's been in previous events when I've watched online or on television, the quality wasn't the greatest," Perillo said of the waves during his heats at last year's Rip Curl Pro Portugal. "There were still barrels to be pulled into, but when you compare it to the offshore overhead left and right peaks in past years, last year doesn't come close. I'm not sure if it was the swell or the sand, but it was real closed-out and backwashy. So hopefully this year Supertubos lives up to its name."
The powerful and technical tubes of Supertubos should suit Perillo, a world-class barrel rider who boasts one of the best backside pig-dogs in the business. The 2013 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal will be Perillo's fourth time competing as an event wildcard in a WCT event. He is looking to improve upon his early Round 2 exit in Peniche last year and score more time out surfing empty Supertubos.
"I've learned how to lose a heat and not take it to heart," Perillo said. "I'm the lowest seed so I'm up against the highest ranks who have all this momentum built throughout the year and they're going against the wildcard who has had no experience. With that said, they have everything to lose and I have nothing to lose."
The second and final wildcard berth will be given to the winner of the Moche Wildcard Trials event, featuring 16 of Europe's best surfers, including Jayce Robinson (UK), Pablo Gutierrez (Spain), PV Laborde (France) and Francisco Alves (Portugal). The Trials are scheduled for October 8th.
The 2013 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal also marks the second event of the first-ever Portuguese Wave Series Cascais Trophy. Already being hailed as the "Triple Crown of European Surfing," the trio of events is the largest ASP surfing series in Europe's history and boasts an additional $50,000 USD prize money up for grabs, awarded to the surfer who achieves the best two results from the following three ASP events: The SATA Airlines Azores Pro (PRIME), the Rip Curl Pro Portugal by Moche (WCT) and the Cascais Billabong Pro (PRIME). Each event will have an equal pointing system.
The 2013 Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal will be webcast live at live.ripcurl.com as well as via the Rip Curl Live Events App for iPhone.
