Killer Apps
An infusion of color and innovative appliance hybrids spark a stainless steel-dominated appliance market.
By Daina Darzin Manning
The great variety reflects the wide range of consumers and their different needs. There are enthusiastic gourmet cooks who want the ultimate professional cooking experience; overworked two-career families who need their food fast, fast, fast (without resorting to actual fast food); city dwellers who desire advanced appliances that will fit in their tiny kitchenettes, and everything in between.
Manufacturers continue to design an increasing array of
appliances to meet all of these needs and more, according to
appliance manufacturers surveyed by Kitchen & Bath Design
Cool and Clean
The greatest changes in the past year have occurred in the
refrigerator category, primarily due to the changes in energy
guidelines, which occurred in 2002.
"A lot of people had to go back to the drawing board [and] engineer new compressors," says George Tratras, specialty sales manager for Equator Corp., in Houston, TX. He notes that refrigerators across the board were required to drop from 10 - 35% in energy usage, depending on the model. Greater insulation requirements made refrigerator interiors smaller, and care has to be taken to provide enough venting in locations that don't have open air flow.
"It's made us drop some products that [had] marginal sales volume" rather than redesign them, confirms Larry Ferguson, director of sales and marketing for Marvel Indus-tries, in Richmond, IN.
The new guidelines do seem to indicate smaller refrigerators undercounter models are a growing market but Ferguson also says consumer buying patterns influence this trend. Before, "Americans tended to go shopping once a week and buy a whole bunch," he explains, whereas now families frequently shop more often; they desire fresher food, and/or don't plan meals far in advance. Thus, a smaller refrigerator will meet their needs. "The great big boxes [are no longer] what everybody wants," Ferguson says.
For those who still require a large refrigerator, the integrated door remains a strong trend, believes Ferguson, citing a consumer desire to make the bulky appliance disappear into the cabinetry. He adds that the integrated approach has made on-the-door bells and whistles like water and ice dispensers less popular at the high end.
"It's an interesting phenomenon," quips Kingsley Shannon, Jenn-Air brand manager, in Newton, IA. "Consumers buy a 48"-wide refrigerator and then they want panels on it so you can't tell it's [there]."
The "second" appliance is also a growing trend, manufacturers agree. This might take the form of a mini-refrigerator in the home entertainment or family room. Nolan Pike, general manager of GE Monogram, in Louisville, KY, cites GE Monogram's "beverage center" half refrigerator, half wine rack as a product that caters to this trend.
Ronda Collier, contract marketing manager for KitchenAid and Whirlpool brands, Whirlpool Corp., in Benton Harbor, MI, also points out KitchenAid's sink dishwasher as an addendum to a full-size one.
"It's a double sink, stainless steel," she explains. "The right
side of the sink can either be a sink, or there's a small
dishwasher rack that fits in there with a spray arm on the bottom,
that turns it into a small dishwasher. You know how, when you have
a big meal, you can never fit everything in?" The sink dishwasher
handles the stray dishes without necessitating a second full
The in-sink approach is also a perfect primary dishwasher for
people who live alone or rarely eat at home, from seniors, to
workaholics, to city dwellers in tiny apartments.
For gourmet cooks who joyfully make a huge mess with big,
elaborate meals, GE has a full-size second dishwasher especially
designed for pots and pans, adds Pike. "The racking is different
and it runs at hotter temperatures," he elaborates. The washer is
also ideal for people who don't want to mix their fancy, easily
breakable china and crystal with messy pots and pans.
Cooking Trends
Two schools of thought provide for a variety of products in the
oven and range markets. Gourmet cooks like products they can
interact with, says Dale Persons, v.p./public affairs for Viking
Range Corp., in Greenwood, MS. "[They're] more hands-on, they're
not looking for timers [and other automatic features], they like to
touch it, feel it, control it. You're not going to see a
progression into flashing lights and stuff," he quips. Instead,
improvements will be "under the hood" niceties such as better
Over-scheduled two-career couples with kids, however, want as many
conveniences as they can get, just to make a home-cooked meal
possible. A notably innovative new product in this category is
Whirlpool's Polara, a free-standing range that also has a
refrigeration function. The imaginative hybrid can be programmed to
keep a raw, ready-to-cook meal refrigerated until a pre-programmed
time, when it's cooked and then kept warm for an hour, then
refrigerated again so it doesn't spoil. So, whatever time everyone
makes it home, the meal is waiting for them.
Manufacturers caution, however, that while consumers welcome extra features on their appliances, they're sometimes overwhelmed by the controls required to work those features, and careful research has to be done to ensure controls "intuitively make sense," according to Shannon.
Gaggenau also espouses a single knob or touch control through glass, using international symbols that are universally easy to understand. "[Controls] have to be really easy," says Bettina Walther, marketing manager for Gaggenau North America, in Huntington Beach, CA.
High speed cooking which combines traditional and microwave technology is another convenience that was introduced with great fanfare a few years back, but manufacturers admit there's consumer resistance to the product. Anne Howard, marketing consultant to Sharp Electronics Corp., in Mahwah, NJ, emphasizes it's important to position the product as a speed cook oven rather than a microwave. "People know what a microwave oven is good for and what it's not good for," she explains. Consumers resist paying far more for a product they perceive as a glorified microwave.
Shannon points out that live demonstrations can often allay a
consumer's fears about the quality level of high-speed ovens; once
they realize the ovens' results equal a conventional oven rather
than a microwave, they embrace the new technology.
Pike adds that GE's Avantium has gained widespread acceptance after
the company started positioning the high-speed oven as part of a
cooking center a trio with a conventional oven and a warming
drawer. The combination assures consumers that they're not going
completely away from traditional technology, but getting the best
of both worlds. A high-speed oven also fits into the "second
appliance" concept, for instance, aiding a family whose members
have different dietary needs (on a diet vs. big eater, vegetarian
vs. carnivore) but want to have dinner together.
A trend towards healthy cooking has spawned another "second" oven option Gaggenau's steam convection oven, notes Walther. The high-end appliance infuses non-pressurized steam in precisely calibrated proportion, resulting in moist food with its vitamins and nutrients preserved.
Traditional microwaves can also function as add-on appliances, manufacturers note. Howard cites wall-mounted, over-counter microwaves as the new, better alternative to locating them over the range, a harsh environment with a lot of heat and grease that can be particularly problematic with a high BTU pro range.
In terms of design, stainless steel is finally pervasive in
microwaves as well, notes Howard. For traditional ovens, Shannon
points out Jenn-Air's new curved front wall oven. "It adds
dimension and texture to the kitchen," she notes. "It's very sleek,
it adds texture without adding extra places to clean."
Color is Back
Conventional wisdom of the last few years says consumers want their
appliances in safe colors that won't impede future remodeling plans
or resale value. But manufacturers insist that the public is
growing weary of a steady diet of black, white, biscuit and
stainless steel.
"We're showing designer finishes in blue and burgundy," notes Persons, who also cites graphite grey with a metallic hint as another popular selection.
"Believe it or not, avocado is back," laughs Tratras. "Some of your colors from the 1970s are making a comeback under new names."
"Beiges and neutrals are going away," insists Collier. "We've introduced cobalt blue, which is extremely popular. In dishwashers, we've introduced all the colors our mixers come in," including bright red and yellow colors.
"We actually did a red kitchen this year," adds Shannon. "Red panels on a refrigerator, mixed with stainless steel." Ferguson also cites a new black interior for wine coolers, which makes a particularly stylish look when combined with a glass door.
While bright colors fit most naturally into a contemporary setting, Shannon points out it's not the only style that's compatible. "In the yellow kitchen we did, there were some hand painted tiles on a backsplash. It was more cottage-esque and traditional in flavor." Rustic, outdoorsy western and southwestern looks, or those with a Mexican influence, also work well with bright colors.
Still, stainless steel remains the staple of the high-end market. "Everybody's waiting for the next material," says Pike. "But, we don't see stainless letting up." The predicted infusion of other natural metallics, such as copper and bronze, hasn't really materialized in the appliance market though those shades remain a popular accent color for, say, a designer hood or faucetry.
Walther believes that aluminum is an up-and-comer as an
appliance material, with its light, platinum-like, neutral metallic
Pike believes that stainless functions as a more easily integrated
neutral than warm metallic shades. The uniformity of stainless
allows consumers to put together a kitchen from a variety of
manufacturers, and still achieve a matching look.
In terms of overall design, consumers follow one of two schools of thought: an integrated or a mix-and-match look. Some high-end manufacturers take care to provide an entire appliance line with matching handles, materials and overall look, for a sleek, well-coordinated kitchen.
But Collier counters, "You see houses with more of an eclectic taste like people who mix a modern look with antiques, not so matchy-matchy."
"Different is almost better," adds Shannon. "It used to be 10,
20 years ago, there was one ideal way to be; everyone was striving
to achieve a certain look. Now, the more different you can be, the
more upscale it seems. You're bringing new ideas into the kitchen.
Differentiation is almost a sign of affluence."
Hoods & Chillers
Once an afterthought, the hood is increasingly being seen as the
design focal point, especially when located above an island
"Hood styling is often a statement in itself," says Persons.
"The hood becomes a centerpiece rather than an accessory," agrees Pike. "The hoods are becoming dramatic they flow, [they have] curves, they're not boxy."
Beautiful finishes and accents complete a look that's "a work of art," Pike adds. "You can do a lot more with the hood than some appliances."
"We've expanded our hood line," notes Viking's Persons.
professional-type hood is typically boxy-looking, square lines. But
we've come out with a designer series so we have a lot of new,
sleeker looks."
In addition to steel and other metals, Walther also cites glass as an effective pick for hoods, for a light-weight, sleek and easy-to-clean hood.
Hoods aren't the only appliance category experiencing rapid growth. "We're seeing a lot more [sales] in the area of wine storage units and coolers," says Persons. "That's part of the Epicurean lifestyle, the better things in life."
However, wine coolers are also growing in popularity at lower price points. Upscale wine coolers have varying temperature zones, notes Persons, making them appropriate for both chilling white wine and storing red wine (which should be warmed to room temperature before drinking.)
Similarly, the outdoor kitchen is an exploding trend.
In the past, "outdoor appliances" mainly consisted of a grill and maybe that old refrigerator you keep in the garage to store extra beer and soda.
These days, however, the outdoor kitchen is the hot new way to impress your neighbors and that old garage refrigerator can be replaced by a specially designed fridge, Gladiator, with a rugged metal tread finish, especially for guys who like to putter in the garage, notes Collier.
Overall, Collier points out that the outdoor kitchen is part of the pervasive cocooning trend consumers are eschewing travel in favor of improving their surroundings with home theaters and other niceties. "People want to stay home and bond with their families more." This has led to the growth of the non-traditional appliance market, says Pike, which includes compactors and ice makers as well as wine coolers and undercounter refrigeration.
In addition to a large, high-end grill, the well-stocked outdoor kitchen can include ice makers, small refrigerators for drinks, a beer tap, cabinetry for storage, a sink, a warming drawer, a wok and more. Tratras cites Equator's Party Cooler, with 1-1/2 cubic feet of space for drinks, temperature control that can be set for cooling wine or ice cold beer, and mahogany shelves that can be used as serving trays.
While the outdoor kitchen is most popular in hot weather states such as Florida, manufacturers insist even northern climates are warming to the trend.
"You always have some nice days," says Persons. "We're finding that, more and more, [you see outdoor kitchens] where you least expect them." KBDN

Tesla Reports First Profitable Quarter; Hires Aston Martin's Chief Vehicle Engineer

Sender E-mail
Tesla shares surged almost 30 percent in after-market trading in New York to as much as $72.99
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk was right: the company
certainly is profitable
now, and even managed to beat analysts' expectations.
For Q1 2013, Tesla reported a net income of $11.2 million, which was quite a jump from an $89.9 million loss in the year-ago quarter. Excluding certain items, Tesla's profit came in at 12 cents a share, which was a boost from a loss of 76 cents a share in Q1 2012.
Analysts expected a profit of about 4 cents a share.
"We exceeded our own targets for deliveries, significantly expanded gross margin, and improved execution throughout the company," said Tesla. "Excluding non-cash warrant and stock option items, we generated a profit of $15 million. Including those factors, our GAAP profit was $11 million. Importantly, we achieved profitability despite the benefit of a one-time accounting gain related to the DOE warrant.
"2013 is off to a strong start, and we look forward to seeing more of you on the road in a Model S this year."
Revenue also saw a huge year-over-year boost, totaling $562 million (up from $30.2 million in the year-ago quarter).
Tesla had an operations loss of $5.58 million, down from $88.8 million in the year-ago quarter.
Tesla sold 4,900 Model S sedans in the first quarter, beating its previous projections of 4,500. Model S deliveries for the entire year should total 21,000, which slightly exceeds previous forecasts of about 20,000.
The company said its sales of zero-emission vehicle credits to automakers totaled $68 million, or 12 percent of revenue for Q1 2013.
Just this week, it was reported that Tesla could
receive $250 million in environmental credits
from California alone this year.
For Q2 2013, Tesla expects to build 5,000 Model S' and ship about 4,500 in North America (the rest are headed to Europe).
"Operating expenses are expected to increase moderately in Q2," said Tesla. "R&D expenses are expected to increase slightly from Q1 as the pace of product development starts to pick up. SG&A expenses will continue to rise moderately, primarily due to the growth in our stores and service centers.
"We plan to spend about $200 million on capital expenditures in 2013, as we conclude the majority of our investment in the Tesla Factory and Model S tooling."
Tesla shares surged almost 30 percent in after-market trading in New York to as much as $72.99.
In other Tesla-related news, the company hired Aston Martin's Chief Engineer of Vehicle Engineering
Chris Porritt this week. He will now be Tesla's
Vice President of Vehicle Engineering.
"Tesla is a hardcore technology company, which means that anyone leading a team of engineers must be an outstanding engineer themself, as well as a good leader," said Musk. "Chris demonstrated exactly that in his prior role at Aston Martin, creating in the One-77 what was arguably their best car ever."
Tesla has certainly come a long way from this time last year. After problems with Model S shipment delays, a run-in with a poor review from
The New York Times,
and a production delay announcement for
the Model X
, Tesla has now proved that nothing can hold it back.
Tesla began shipping 500 Model S' a week in March, exceeding the sales outlook of 4,500 posted in the February shareholder letter.
It later announced that the company would be able to
pay off its $465 million government loan
within five years, and that this current quarter would be its
first profitable one
. Clearly, the company was right.
Tesla is looking to keep that momentum by any means necessary. The electric auto maker has worked hard to please customers with a new battery replacement program as well as new service programs, which feature valet for customers who need to send their Model S' to the shop -- and can even borrow (or later buy) a better Model S or Tesla Roadster as loaner vehicles.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been fighting for a
Texas electric vehicle sales bill
(House Bill 3351) as well, which would allow distributors and manufacturers of electric vehicles only to sell directly to customers without the use of dealerships. Musk called this bill a matter of "life or death" for Tesla.

Nick Chavez Beverly Hills Customer Reviews
Good, but not best! - 5/25/2013 5:45:56 PM I am fond of spray setting lotions, and ordered this ptoduct when the setting spray I had been using by Neil George, was not available. This is an exceptionally large bottle, making it a good value. It has a unique slide closure on the neck of the bottle, which, after I figured out how to use it, I really liked. The slide keeps the liquid from spilling out if the bottle gets knocked over. The spray went on nicely, and was not sticky at all. My only complaint was that the hold was not as good as the Neil George product I had been using.Love this shampoo! - 5/25/2013 5:12:08 PM I have fine hair and this shampoo is one of the best I have used to add body and manageability to my hair. I bought one bottle, and immediately reodered another.Wonderful unique product - 10/12/2012 3:36:32 PM I was running out of ideas on how to ease the dryness of my thick, fine, straight hair. Ironically, I dealt with oily hair since I was a teen, but now that my hair has started to show some grays, it's producing more peroxide, which makes hair much drier. I'd tried dozens of shampoos, conditioners, hair styling serums, olive oil sprays; I blow-dried my hair on the low temp at low speed and left it somewhat wet. Still my hair looked like a rat's nest. Then I got a sample bottle of Angel Drops. It takes only 3 DROPS to soften my shoulder-length hair. I don't know how 3 drops of this miracle liquid covers all of my hair, but it spreads very easily. I put 3 drops in my left palm, bend over at the waist, and rub my palms together lightly to have a roughly even amount of Angel Drops on my hands. I scrunch my hair between my palms, spreading the drops from the middle of my hair down to the ends. Then I spread it to my scalp by scrunching the ends of my hair around my scalp. My fingers slide smoothly through my hair, from scalp to ends, with no knots at all. After standing upright, I run a comb through my hair with nary a knot. This was an AMAZING experience the first time I used Angel Drops. I've dried my hair both with and without a styling gel, depending on what I want. Angel Drops don't weigh down or make my hair greasy-looking. Either way, my hair always has body, shine, and softness. I still use shampoo for dry hair and slather on lots of conditioner, but Angel Drops are now a permanent part of my hair care routine.He Has Better Products Than this Now - 8/15/2012 3:17:25 AM I have had this for about three years and every once in a while I try to use it again. Sorry to say each time it gets shoved way in the back because it doesn't spray out like it should so I've been just using it like a mousse. It does add some volume just like the cheapest of products I've used in the past. It also makes my hair look so dirty that I have to wash it out the next day. Nick has better sprays out now like his Root Lifting Spray which I use on my roots on the top of my head and I use it as a scrunch spray too for a beautiful look.No other Hairspray...... - 6/28/2012 12:36:39 PM ...touches my hair but this. I actually spent a year trying to find a better hairspray than this. First I tried to find one less expensive, then more expensive. Bottom line, nothing is better than this. I was purchasing somewhere else but now I'll get it here at a better price. Good job Skin Store!The Bomb - 5/10/2012 11:33:49 AM This product is the bomb! Nick you are the man! I have very long, thick, kinky hair. This product is "magic", it seperates the kinky curls in my hair and now my hair looks soft and the curls are soft looking . I have tried so many products and used them once and thrown them in my closet. This truly does what Nick says it will do!!! AMAZINGBest I've Ever Used - 2/16/2012 8:52:56 AM This is great for women or men with fine or thin hair. I spray my hair after styling, do not spray too much. It holds the style and when I get to where I am going I quickly run a brush through it. It continues to keep your style, looking and feeling much soft but thicker . I've been using this for years purchasing from else where. Glad that you are now sold here. -

After a successful stint modeling and acting stateside and overseas, Chavez opened his own salon in Beverly Hills and began amassing an impressive coterie of celebrity clients.

Millions of people love Ina Garten because she writes recipes that make home cooks look great; family and friends shower them with praise and yet the dishes couldnt be simpler to prepare using ingredients found in any grocery store. In Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, the Food Network star takes easy a step further, sharing her secrets for pulling off deeply satisfying meals that have that wow! factor we all crave.
Start with delicious Dukes Cosmopolitans made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus Jalapeno Cheddar Crackers that everyone will devour. Lunches include Hot Smoked Salmon, Lobster & Potato Salad, and Easy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons, all featuring old-fashioned flavors with the volume turned up. Elegant Slow-Roasted Filet of Beef with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise and show-stopping Seared Scallops & Potato Celery Root Puree are just two of the many fabulous dinner recipes. And your guests will always remember the desserts, from Sticky Toffee Date Cake with Bourbon Glaze to Salted Caramel Brownies.
For Ina, foolproof means more than just making one dish successfully; its also about planning a menu, including coordinating everything so it all gets to the table at the same time. In Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, Ina shows you how to make a game plan so everything is served hot while you keep your cool. There are notes throughout detailing where a recipe can go wrong to keep you on track, plus tips for making recipes in advance. Its as though Ina is there in the kitchen with you guiding you every step of the way.
With 150 gorgeous color photographs and Inas invaluable tips, Barefoot Contessa Foolproof is a stunning yet infinitely practical cookbook that home cooks will turn to again and again.
INA GARTEN is the host of the Emmy Award-winning Barefoot Contessa television show on Food Network. She lives in East Hampton, New York, with her husband, Jeffrey. This is her eighth cookbook. Visit Ina at www.BarefootContessa.com.
Another great addition to my cook book library, as always there are great ideas to help me with my dinner parties!
I love Ina. Her style is just fabulously-easy gourmet cooking in a home kitchen, without 100 fancy ingredients per recipe. She does use good, quality ingredients (and she tells you what NOT to substitute in this book!), but they are nothing you couldn't find at an upscale grocery store (good olive oil-her MUST HAVE, Fleur de sel salt...). This book provides awesome checklists for planning a dinner party - what to do when, advising creating a game plan with times listed to be kept at hand. Another Ina Great!
I was very pleased with the promptness of the shipping and the cost.
Always love Ina's cookbooks. recipes are delicious and the photography is beautiful

This is a very nicely detailed kit and as best as I could tell after a short 'fondling', an accurate kit. (there are one or two things I might argue about) Converting this kit to be an r/c runnable sub will likely be a very common thing for folks to do and doesn't look like it will be difficult to do. I know that Jim is looking to make his operational.
I'm looking forward to seeing what folks builds look like, both static and r/c. I may just have to pick up a kit for myself!

The other major item are the upper bow free flood vents which are mirrored port and starboard. The photos that I have and the drawings show them as staggered by a frame. Check out the scans that I shared with you in my Dropbox.
There are a couple of other items that I need to verify, but they are really minor.

Looking ahead, there is not much about the boat's running lights. I thought about wiring them up and replacing the clear parts with LED's. There appears to be one light forward and aft in the port and starboard light housing. All the instructions say about them is "Clear". That can't be right. What color were they?
