Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd. enjoyed a 95.7 percent year-on-year increase in its group net profit for January-June, the company said Tuesday.
The profit totaled ¥11.991 billion, Suntory Beverage & Food said in its first earnings announcement since its debut on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange on July 3.
For the first half of the business year to December, group operating profit jumped 25.9 percent to ¥27.623 billion on consolidated sales of ¥517.969 billion, up 10.8 percent, it said.
The brisk earnings reflect larger beverage sales in Japan and abroad and lower production and distribution costs, company officials said.
Suntory Beverage & Food President Nobuhiro Torii said at a press conference that although his company has many hurdles to clear, he was able to announce the earnings results with a smile.
He also expressed eagerness to strengthen its operations in other parts of Asia further, saying the Asian business is promising.

Peter Gluck and Partners has been stick-building its own projects for years. So when the New York–based architecture firm decided to design and co-develop a modular, multifamily apartment building in uptown Manhattan, it already had a sense of how prefabrication could potentially streamline the process. "We understand all the inefficiencies of the stick-built model—all these issues with coordination and scheduling, physical access, weather," says partner Thomas Gluck. "For us, the appeal of modular is primarily in the time frame, and also the quality—it's easier to control."
The 28-unit, seven-story project, slated for groundbreaking in May, will express its modularity through its design. A grid of colored panels and windows makes up the façade. Some of the modules cantilever out from the front elevation, a strategy that lends texture and emphasizes the building's boxy nature.
Each unit will be constructed in a modular factory in Pennsylvania, then shipped directly to the site in the city's Inwood neighborhood. (During the time it takes to make the units, the foundation will be site-built.) Once the modules are placed, it will take six to eight weeks to connect wiring and plumbing across the units. "The structure is the modules," Gluck explains. "It's not a superstructure."

Help, please, with fiber
new posts
Now here's the weird thing: I eat tons of cruciferous vegetables. First because I adore broccoli and cauliflower, and second, because, along with magnesium, they help keep me regular and gut-stuffed-up-pain free.
Fiber things? I've entirely lost my appetite for such things. I never would have believed that would be possible, but it's true. The very thought of anything "bran" makes me wince and long for a hot plate of spinach. Which plate of spinach, I confess, I still like to drizzle with the condiment sesame oil. NOT the cooking oil; the condiment. Two different things. And I figure once a week using less than a teaspoon won't hurt me. It's so incredibly yummy on spinach.
Oh, and add as much as you want of sauteed fresh chopped garlic. To die for.
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Thanks so much for the post, BestBetter. I've been using a magnesium supplement now for about a 6 weeks, I think. It took a while to get the right amount. One 50 mg pill in the morning; another at night seems to be doing the trick. Although, every couple of weeks my body goes haywire and the 50/50 dosing doesn't work right. But, no complaints, really, since I'm far, far better off now, rarely feel stuffed up with cement the way I often have virtually all of my life--since I was 4 years old, that's as far back as I can remember. Some 13 years back, I went high fiber [okay, Mark wasn't around then] and it worked for about 3 months. Then, even with super high fiber, I was back to cement gut--and I was gaining weight quite quickly.
So, I'm sold on Magnesium. Since I have yet to find the types of Magnesium recommended in the forum,. I will definitely be checking out the link you posted.
Thanks again.
I've been doing that lately. And I'm so hooked on my salads, all my friends are calling me "Rabbit." If they ask why I'm eating so much salad, I give them the short answer. If they're still interested, I go into detail. But most folks just don't want to know. Oh, well. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Thanks for the post.
I've noticed in the last couple of months that I can eat all kinds of fats [okay, the good ones, including more bacon than I would ever have thought possible without turning into a blimp] and by eating all those fats, EVERYTHING runs smoother. And I've completely lost my craving for pasta and potato chips. And trust me when I say I used to be the potato chip queen. Not to mention being the pasta with tons of cheese queen for comfort food. Now? I'd rather eat a salad. I still can't believe that's true, but it is.
Oh, and few fresh walnut halves keep me happy, happy, happy.
Magnesium caused me to feel sluggish, and I had to take a huge amou t. More fiber didn't help, drinking water didn't help, eating more fat didn't help (indeed I eat 70% fat). This works for me: Dr. Schulze's - Dr Schulze's Intestinal Formula #1 90 vcaps:Amazon:Health & Personal Care . BUT, jst take like 1/4 a pill to start with. I dump it in some water and drink it that way. It's bitter but no biggie. I wouldn't up the dose until 3 days go by without it working. When my IBS was worse, it would cause problems (like my entire digestive system would empty painfully 2-3 days after I took it). But that was caused, apparently, by xylitol. Without the xylitol (which I used in small amounts and had for may months) they work great for me. For some reason xylitol would both delay and greatly multiply the effect of any laxitive, even just magnesium.

I don't know if this would work well for your IBS (don't know anything about IBS), but I eat chia seeds to get sufficient fiber--keeps me regular, heh. I find that the best way to consume chia seeds is to add 2 Tbsp to about half a liter of water and shake it(I put it in a bottle). Let it sit until it acquires a slightly gelatinous consistency (kind of like tapioca) and then drink it. Some people find this to be disgusting, but I kind of like it.
You can also consume the chia seeds mixed in yogurt. Just make sure you drink enough water with it.
Originally posted by Squirrelly View PostGuys, I'm brand new to this forum, and am having a lot of trouble navigating. [Hey, at 67 years old I can claim "old age" as the problem? Maybe? LOL]
I apologize for interrupting this blog, but I can't figure out where to go to ask my question, so I'm putting it here.
As a life-long sufferer of IBS [iritable bowel syndrome] I desperately need to add tons more fiber [soluble and insoluble] to my 80% Primal diet or I'm going to "die" of what I call "cement in the gut." I know Oat Bran is the single best source of fiber, but I'm having trouble finding a really healthy source of Oat Bran without adding so many calories to my diet that it would constitute a 4th meal, which, trust me, I can't accommodate on any level without putting back on the 8 pounds I've lost in the last 2 months.
I found a few supplements in bottles online tonight, but none of them--despite some having very high prices--offer more than 5 or 6 grams of fiber in a single dose. This is totally not acceptable. I'm looking for something that adds 13 or 14 or 15 grams of fiber per dose. Less than that won't make a "dent in my cement."
I eat "tons" of dark green salad greens every day, and cruciferous veggies [I adore broccoli], but it's just not enough to keep the old bowels regular, or even semi-regular.
I'm more at less at my wits end in trying to figure out how solve this constipation problem, and I would be extremely grateful for any help/advice anyone has to offer. Please keep in mind that I'm only moderately active, by necessity; I walk at a regular to brisk pace for close to an hour every day, do my own version of aerobic dancing twice a week [good old Creedence Clearwater Revival's Greatest Hits help with that enormously], and--or BUT! I have to be very careful how and when I dance aerobically because of a chronically weak lower back and bad knees, both of which can act up at the drop of a hat. As we speak, I'm nursing the remains of muscle pulls and spinal snafus that resulted from too much vigorous dancing to "Bad Moon Rising." My brilliant/generous/amazingly affordable chiropractor has set the recovery in motion, but I must be very careful for the next week or two.
In the meantime, and even after I recover, since I can't do sprints--maybe one or two every 3 months or so--and I can't run or jog--none of the physical activity that tends to get the bowels moving--I really, really, really need some help with getting a ton more fiber incorporated into my diet without adding calories or too many unhealthy carbs.
Please, anyone, any suggestions?
Thanks so much for listening--and for any responses.
With all the confusion here, I think you're panicking. There's no need to. You're at the right place. I started 2.5 months ago at the age of 75 with far worse problems. 3 months ago I was sure I was going to die soon. I'm allergic to all Statins, and Zetia was literally eating and disolving my muscles away.
180 deg turn means STOP with the fiber. STOP taking the doctor's advice (for now). STOP the fiber. Listen again more slowly, to the film. Fiber will tear up your intestines and colon. (I'm being far too extreme here but . . )
First read Mark Sisson's book "Primal Blueprint". Konsyl is working for you not because it is a fiber, but because it is a laxative.
Second you have to heal your digestive system, before it can work correctly.
Here were my problems and the length of time to cure on PB:
First the tendency or desire to vomit was gone in 2 days. (GERD)
Second the heavy gastric production of mucus which caused drooling in sleep was gone in 1 week
Third the IBS gas and water bloating was gone in 2 weeks.
At 3 weeks I began taking Milk of Magnesia (laxative without fiber) every other day instead of every day.
4 weeks and the ability to control urine outflow returned (I'd been afraid I'd have to wear diapers.)
After 5 weeks my completely dead bowel began working again. Peristalis returned.
At 6 weeks I began taking Vits. D3 and C and Magnesium Citrate (800 mg) mainly to prevent hair loss.
At 7 weeks I bought Mark's Damage Control Package. I'd already been taking prebiotics and probiotics, etc.
But hewn granite have nothing on the consistancy of my stools.
First I tried 6 prunes,6 apricots, and a glass of prune juice daily with chocolate. No effect.
I tried other laxatives and a stool softener - don't do that. My now-PB digestive system responded as to poison.
Now, at 2.5 months, I take Milk of Magnesia (MM) every 2 or 3 days. Usually on the second day the stool is soft. I take the MM only when it is hard. Otherwise I feel well. NO IBS, gas, bloating or drool, no excess mucus.
Obviously the cure is going to take time. But it works. I have a lot more energy, and much stronger (compared to 0 this is easy), and sleep well. This is a program where you teach yourself by learning to respond to your own body. It will tell you 'loud and clear' if you only learn how to listen.
I've had colon polyps removed and told they were pre-cancerous. But there's no reason to keep following doctor's advice and wait for the cancer to come.
There's an awful lot to learn here, and I'm only a beginner. Go to Mark's main page and click on the red button "Start Here"."When the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power." - Alston Chase

Pakistan finally woke from their slumber to produce a stirring performance on day one of the final Test against England at The Oval.
They won the toss, put England in, bowled immaculately to dismiss them for 173 and replied well, closing on 96-1.
Mohammad Asif showed how much Pakistan had missed him in the first three matches of the series as he returned from an elbow injury to take 4-56.
And fellow fast bowler Umar Gul backed him up brilliantly to take 4-46.
STUMPS: PAKISTAN 96-1 (Farhat 56, Yousuf 12)
1928: Yousuf flays at a beauty from Hoggard but just fails to edge behind. Pakistan will still sleep soundly after a simply terrific day. They bowled well and then made the most of wayward bowling and England's butter fingers to set up themselves up for a day of batting on Friday. England will need to improve drastically to pull themelves back into it.
"You could say England are handing the game on a plate to Pakistan, but it's a funny game and you never know."TMS summariser Mike Gatting
1925: Panesar is given the ball very late in the day but despite extracting turn and bounce there is no breakthrough for him. Hoggard will bowl the final over and hope a chance sticks.
1922: More frustration for Hoggard and England as Cook drops Yousuf at gully. That's two lives the prolific number four has been given, on five and eight.
1916: After the scares of the previous over, Farhat resumes normal service with a crisp straight drive off Mahmood.
1914: Farhat drives fiercely towards short extra-cover and picks up a single to reach 50 after Collingwood almost pulls off a breathtaking catch. Yousuf edges the next ball from Hoggard and Trescothick spills a much easier chance. On such key moments are matches decided.
1905: The pitch misbehaves for the first time as a ball from Hoggard keeps low to trouble Yousuf, who gets off the mark with two to Panesar at deep square-leg.
1859: WICKET PAKISTAN 70-1 (Younis c Read b Mahmood 9) It comes to an end in the luckiest of ways for England as Younis gloves another leg-side delivery from Mahmood to Read.
1857: Things aren't getting much better as Mahmood gives Farhat four easy runs down the leg-side. This is easily the best start Pakistan have had this summer.
1851: Hoggard returns in place of the ineffective Harmison as Strauss wears a worried expression at second slip.
1848: Mahmood finally finds the right line and length to Farhat and comes close to finding the edge. There's some passion and feeling too when he threatens to hurl the ball back at the stumps. With the tourists scoring at almost five an over it feels like a case of after the horse has bolted...
1844: It's Farhat's turn to require treatment from the physio after being struck by a delivery on the back of his knee. Injury is the only thing that can stop Pakistan's serene progress it seems.
"Why has Strauss not spoken to the bowlers? He must have them pitching it up. Standing at slip and clapping is a load of rubbish, what you need to do is talk to the guy."Boycott, like most England's fans, is becoming increasingly agitated
1840: England are falling apart - a wild throw from Mahmood sees four overthrows conceded and Farhat crashes successive fours from wide Harmison long-hops as Pakistan race past 50. 61-0
1836: Mahmood serves up a half-volley which Farhat thrashes over cover. The bowler responds by beating him outside off-stump but moral victories aren't much use to England right now.
"England can't let the flow of runs go on like this. Yes they need wickets but the game is running away and by stumps Pakistan could be 80-0. If you can't take wickets you have to dry up the runs."TMS analyst and ex-England batsman Geoff Boycott
1833: Younis effortless guides an over-pitched Harmison delivery through the vacant mid-on region for three and it's all too easy for the tourists.
1830: We have an hour's play left tonight in which England need wickets - at least two or three.
1826: Mahmood comes on with the hosts desperate for a breakthrough. Younis thumps his second ball through mid-wicket for two to get his innings underway.
1825: Hafeez cannot carry on and Younis comes out with his side in a dominant position.
1824: Farhat throws the kitchen sink at a wide one from Harmison and the ball soars over the slips before bouncing once over the rope at third man.
1822: With the crowd starting to lose patience, it looks like he will battle on after having his knee strapped. Some of us would have liked to see Inzamam come out as his runner.
1817: Hafeez hobbles away after taking a quick single. He appears to be suggesting to the physio that something has been dislocated or twisted.
1813: Farhat latches on to gentle width from Hoggard to caress the ball through the off-side. Acrobatics from Pietersen keep them to three but it could have ended with the fielder picking up an injury.
1808: England look short of ideas already and Strauss might be considering a change with his opening bowlers failing to trouble Farhat and Hafeez.
1758: Harmison is not posing much difficulty either and, with the sun beating down on The Oval, it looks a different game to the one we were watching previously.
1754: Hoggard is struggling to trouble the batsmen and Farhat collects three more on the off-side. England cannot afford to let Pakistan get off to a good start.
1748: Harmison starts an eventful over with several wide deliveries before Farhat drives for four and edges just short of Collingwood at slip.
1745: Hafeez starts confidently, driving down the ground for four. He was called up after doing well for Pakistan A in Australia recently.
1741: The umpires come back out, followed by the rest of the England team. Hoggard will begin from the Vauxhall End and will bowl to Hafeez, who is playing his first Test for nearly three years.
"There is an opportunity here for England to clamber into the Pakistan batting and by the close it could be an entirely different picture. We'll see a bit of swing for Hoggard and bounce for Harmison. I've just seen Hoggard bowl a practice delivery and it's hooped around the corner, which is a good sign!"TMS summariser Mike Selvey
1732: WICKET ENGLAND 173 ALL OUT (Panesar b Gul 0)Sadly for England, it was outcome number two. Gul produces a fine inswinger to dismiss Monty first ball and he joins Asif in claiming four wickets. A superb display in the field from Pakistan leaves England with much to do.
1731: Panesar comes out to raucous cheers. This could be very entertaining or very brief.
1729: WICKET ENGLAND 173-9 (Read b Gul 33)Read's frustration at not seeing much of the bowling results in a wild swish outside off-stump and the ball is under-edged into his stumps. A sad way to end a good innings.
1726: Harmison plays an off-drive and has no idea where the ball has gone when it flashes off his inside edge down to fine-leg to frustrate Asif. Read has been starved of the strike in the last five overs.
1721: A golf drive from Harmison fails to make contact with the ball. It prompts vice-captain Younis into having a word with bowler Gul but the next ball is thumped over mid-off for a boundary.
1717: Asif is desperately close to claiming a five-wicket haul when Harmison leaves a delivery which almost kisses the off-bail. Two reverse-swingers also come close to trapping the big seamer lbw.
1713: WICKET ENGLAND 163-8 (Hoggard c Akmal b Asif 4)That point is illustrated when the number nine guides the ball into wicket-keeper Akmal's gloves after a good outswinger from Asif, who now has four wickets. We can only guess what damage he could have done had he been fit earlier in the series.
1711: A man is sent out for the hook off Hoggard - yes Hoggard, a man who rarely plays a shot in anger. Pakistan can afford to be a bit more positive after the great day they've had!
"Inzamam has led the team energetically and has been supported by Asif and Gul, who have bowled a good line. The only negative is Akmal but otherwise they've been pretty tidy."TMS analyst Rameez Raja
1705: There is some late swing for Asif, which Hoggard deals with well to push for two on the off-side and he keeps the strike with a single from the last ball. A confident - and potentially flawed - decision.
1700: WICKET ENGLAND 158-7 (Mahmood b Gul 15)Having praised his efforts, that was an awful piece of batting from Mahmood as Gul cleans him up with a full delivery. But he helped add 46 valuable runs for England.
1655: Mahmood has seen off Kaneria - Gul is brought back in a bid to break the partnership.
1654: The runs are coming easily now with the outfield lightning quick and Read pushes the ball past point off Asif for another two.
1652: Quick running from Read and Mahmood help the keeper get two but a better fielder than Kaneria might have had him in trouble.
1648: A hefty blow from Mahmood lifts a ball from Kaneria over mid-on to bring up the 150 for England and make this the best partnership of the innings. Who would have thought it? 151-6
1643: Mahmood turns the ball firmly and straight into short-leg's hands, but it bounces out and runs away for a single.
1639: I've changed my mind - he should be promoted after a lovely cut off Kaneria for his first four.
1637: Mahmood does not look anything like a Test number eight, backing away to a delivery from Asif - hardly the most hostile of bowlers.
1631: The players and umpires return for what could be a gruelling final session. The sun is shining and the picture could not look more different to the dark skies we had earlier. Pakistan's outlook looks sunnier at the moment than England's but if the home side's tail wags and their bowlers fire, that could all change.
TEA: ENGLAND 134-6 (Read 26, Mahmood 1)
1611: No more alarms in the final over before tea, and Read plays a delicious cover drive off Nazir before edging for another boundary. The players go off after a marathon 160-minute session and Pakistan are all smiles, having taken six wickets, but there is plenty of cricket left - not least after the interval, when play could go on till 1930!
1606: Shocking cricket all round ends with four byes being awarded. Mahmood charges down the track to Kaneria, misses completely and Akmal fails to take an easy stumping chance. Hair then turns down a perfectly good lbw appeal from the leg-spinner.
1600: England need something special from Read here with little expected of the tail-enders. He does well to clip a full delivery from Nazir through mid-wicket for three.
1554: WICKET ENGLAND 112-6 (Cook lbw b Nazir 40) Doctrove sends Cook on his way next ball after Nazir's yorker hits him just in line with off-stump. A marginal decision which goes Pakistan's way - they will feel they haven't had many of those in this series.
1551: Read wristily flicks a ball from Nazir through mid-wicket for three. He looks determined to dig England out of this hole. Cook drives past Iqbal at cover to go to 40.
1546: Inzamam cuts a relaxed, cheerful figure in the slips. He knows his side are in charge, with a weak tail to follow once these two are separated.
1543: Cheers of relief greet an edge from Read which races away between the slips to push England past 100. It's been attritional, yet gripping, fare. 104-5
1540: Cook survives a testing over from Kaneria in which he is beaten by a googly and escapes after an ungainly push forward appears to edge the ball into and out of Akmal's gloves. You fear for him.
"Cook doesn't have soft hands, he pushes at the ball firmly, so this is an important innings for his learning curve. He is getting a foretaste of what to expect this winter - accurate seam bowling from one end and leg-spin from the other."TMS analyst Mike Selvey
1533: Read goes for a risky single and gets off the mark despite a sharp piece of fielding from Asif running in from long-on.
1530: Yousuf's dive fails to prevent another boundary for Cook at deep mid-wicket. That was pretty good stuff from the Pakistan batsman to no avail.
1527: Read, who played well in his comeback Test at Headingley, has never batted with Cook in any form of cricket - England will hope they have plenty of time to get to know each other in the middle.
1522: WICKET ENGLAND 91-5 (Bell c Iqbal b Kaneria 9)A big blow for the hosts as Kaneria strikes almost immediately to remove the in-form Bell. The ball pops off the inside edge and pad to the chirpy Iqbal at point and, after a delay, Hair raises his finger. Pakistan are halfway towards justifying Inzamam's decision to field.
1519: Sure enough, young Kaneria comes on - England will need to watch out for his heavily disguised googly, which will spin into the right-hander.
1513: Kaneria's leg-spin is likely to be introduced soon because Cook is looking settled. He plays a firm back-foot shot to punch Gul through cover for four.
"It's now time to bring on Kaneria because England are under pressure and he bowled well to Cook in the last match. Pakistan are missing a trick here.TMS analyst Rameez Raja
1508: Yousuf is not the best of fielders but does well to keep a firm Cook on-drive from going over the rope. Three runs are taken though.
1502: Youngsters Bell and Cook have taken the sting out of the situation with some sensible play, and Cook guides Nazir gently through point for his third boundary to take his score to 23.
1446: Bell shows why he has scored so heavily in this series, pushing a decent enough delivery from Nazir wide of mid-off for four. He really is in a purple patch and making a mockery of doubts about his ability to play at the highest level.
1441: Bell gets off the mark straight away but this has been Asif's day. For a man who has not bowled much since injuring his elbow just before the series started, it has been a quite magnificent spell.
1439: WICKET ENGLAND 64-4 (Collingwood lbw b Asif 4)Asif is on fire now, swinging in a good delivery to trap Collingwood plumb lbw for his third wicket. The Durham man looked all at sea in his brief knock, to be fair, and England are on the rack.
1436: Pakistan are well and truly in the ascendancy, as Collingwood edges wide of the slips for four to bring up 1,000 runs in his 15th Test in fortuitous fashion.
1433: Nazir replaces Gul for the first bowling change of the day. His first ball hits Collingwood high on the pad and Doctrove rejects the lbw appeal. Another shout for leg-before against Cook is also turned down after the young left-hander gets an inside edge.
1428: Cook survives the hat-trick ball from Asif but the tourists are on top for the first time since the opening day at Lord's when England were 88-3.
1424: After the carnage of the previous over, Cook responds with an exquisite straight drive off Gul for four. He and Collingwood have a big repair job on their hands.
"He drove extravagantly like he was on 75 - that wasn't the smartest of shots. If you get a half-volley or long-hop smack it for four but that was not one of those."TMS summariser Geoff Boycott
1421: WICKET ENGLAND 54-3 (Pietersen c Akmal b Asif 0)Disaster for England as Pietersen drives expansively first ball - and edges Asif behind. That's the second golden duck of the Hampshire star's Test career after McGrath got him in the second innings at Old Trafford last year.
1420: Pietersen walks to the middle to loud cheers. The situation isn't ideal for his swash-buckling style - but when has he let that bother him?
1419: WICKET ENGLAND 54-2 (Strauss c Akmal b Asif 38)Asif gets it right this time and a good-length delivery moves away to find Strauss' edge. Akmal, who has had a poor time of it behind the wicket, dives to his left to take a good catch.
1416: Asif has not learned his lesson and is pulled again by Strauss for a boundary. At the pace he bowls - 82/83mph - that's easy pickings for any top-class batsman.
"If Trescothick fails again in the second innings, and Bell and Collingwood continue their good form, is he the man to make way for Flintoff with Cook moving up the order?"Stephen in the TMS inbox
1413: Strauss brings up 50 for England with a single down to long-leg. It's been steady rather than spectacular but the hosts will be reasonably happy having been put in in less than perfect batting conditions. 50-1
1409: Strauss has put away the bad ball convincingly today and he punishes Asif for dropping it short with a swat through mid-wicket for his sixth four.
1402: Cook is hit in his nether region when he fails to connect with a pull off Gul. There is no reaction from the young Essex man and he sends the next ball, also short, to the square-leg boundary for his first four runs.
1356: Cook, who has had a good series, walks to the crease with the sun shining after the gloom of the morning.
1354: WICKET England 36-1 (Trescothick c Hafeez b Gul 6)Trescothick's torture comes to an end when he goes after an innocuous delivery from Gul and Hafeez takes a smart catch at gully to break the opening partnership. On his way to the pavilion Trescothick exchanges words with Iqbal, whose main contribution to this series has been irritating asides.
1349: Strauss drives Asif gloriously through extra-cover to go to 29. This has been a high-class effort in the circumstances, in complete contrast to Trescothick's struggles.
1346: Asif is left bemused as another superb ball whistles past Trescothick's outside edge. The Somerset man then picks up another single to move to six in one of his least memorable innings so far.
1345: After three straight maidens, Strauss tucks a Gul delivery through square-leg to collect the first three runs after lunch. Trescothick is lucky when an inside edge flies wide of the stumps towards long-leg. He and his partner have somehow survived in conditions helpful to the bowlers.
"There is plenty in this pitch and you wonder what Harmison will make of it bowling five or six mph quicker than Asif."TMS analyst Gus Fraser
1329: Asif bowls the first ball after lunch and there is a cheer of relief from a crowd who had little to see in the morning. He then beats the lazy waft off Trescothick with a good delivery before producing a snorter which nips back off the seam and lifts sharply.
LUNCH: ENGLAND 27-0 (Trescothick 4, Strauss 22)
"They should be mopping up the water now but I can't see the squeegee. It's all right having rules but there has to be some common sense in this - people spend lots of money getting here and for the tickets."Geoff Boycott
"Why they are not having lunch now is beyond me. There must be some obscure regulation but it's a waste of 20 minutes and if you've paid your 50 quid you must be wondering what's going on."TMS commentator Jon Agnew
1224: A squinting Hair and Doctrove come off after an inspection and they decide that an early lunch will be taken at 1250 with play due to resume at 1330.
"I don't think they bowled that great apart from four crackerjack deliveries which were too good to get an edge to. The rest was ordinary - they should have kept it outside off-stump in the corridor of uncertainty."TMS analyst Geoff Boycott
1208: Umpires Hair and Doctrove consult and it's no surprise to see the batsmen accept their offer and come off. The groundstaff swing into action.
1204: Strauss pulls majestically for four off Gul as the rain starts coming down again. This is only his third Test at this venue. He made 129 in his second to help England secure a draw and the Ashes last year.
1202: Trescothick looks completely out of touch, driving lazily to Asif and fortunate not to get an edge. He has a fantastic record on this ground - 677 runs in six Tests at an average of 75.22, including a double century against South Africa three years ago.
1159: Panic in the middle as Trescothick stops after taking a single off Asif while Strauss is almost halfway down the track before turning back just in time. Strauss calms his nerves with a fine off-drive for his third four.
1156: Strauss seizes on a half-volley from Gul to launch a sumptuous cover drive, easily the shot of the morning so far.
"Asif has been impressive so far but he has to be eased back after injury. It's difficult to judge how fit he is."TMS summariser and ex-Pakistan batsman Rameez Raja
1150: Trescothick edges Asif down to the slips but the ball fails to carry.
1148: Trescothick scampers through for his first run when he gets an inside edge off Gul which squirts out on to the off-side. Strauss is beaten by the last ball of the over, which shapes away. Despite the weather, it's been a terrific start, with a genuine contest between bat and ball.
1143: Strauss picks up the first boundary by pouncing on a wayward Asif delivery to flick the ball down to fine-leg. Another leg-side ball is dispatched for two through square-leg - the captain looks assured compared with his partner.
1138: Strauss is up and running with three off Gul and Trescothick fails to get out of the way of a shorter one which thuds off his chest. He is then cut in half by a wicked delivery which bounces and seams back. Inzamam's decision looks spot on all of a sudden.
1133: Asif completes the first over of the day after a 30-minute delay and has a shout for lbw before beating Trescothick with an absolute beauty. That was a superb over and shows why Pakistan were so keen to rush him back.
1117: Good news - play will resume in around 20 minutes. There are dark clouds behind the pavilion, however, and it could be one of those days...
1100: Asif is immediately on target to Trescothick but the players are forced off after only two deliveries as the rain gets harder.
1058: Inzamam delivers his final pep talk as the rain starts falling and the umbrellas go up. The England openers make their way out to the middle and the umpires decide to start play on time.
"It's an excellent surface - if you bowl well you've got a chance, if you don't you'll get whacked around."TMS analyst and former England paceman Gus Fraser
1033: Inzamam wins the toss and, somewhat surprisingly, puts England into bat. He thinks the weather will help for the bowlers but Strauss says he would have batted anyway.
England are unchanged, but Pakistan name yet another new opening partnership - the fourth different of the series - with Hafeez partnering Farhat. Seamer Asif is back after an elbow injury and replaces Sami.
1031: It is dry and warm at The Oval at the moment but the forecast is for rain so let's keep our fingers-crossed the showers miss this part of south London.
1015: England reveal their team and it is unchanged from the Headingley Test.

FAIRFAX, Va. - The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team put together another solid outing on Thursday night at George Mason, but it was not quite enough as the Quakers fell to the Patriots, 80-77, at the Patriot Center.
Penn had a chance to tie the game with 7.7 seconds left. An inbounds play got Tony Hicks the ball on the far sideline, but he was covered and forced to improvise. His last-second shot was off the mark as the buzzer sounded.
It was an unfortunate ending for Hicks, who re-emerged from an offensive slump over the last few weeks to lead the Quakers with 23 points and a career-high six assists. Fran Dougherty added 17 points and had another solid night on the boards (9 rebounds), while Miles Jackson-Cartwright knocked down four more three-pointers en route to 16 points on the night.
Penn was up 43-39 after Dougherty put back a Hicks miss to start the second half, but Mason took control after that and gradually built up as much as an 11-point lead with three minutes left in the game.
Penn still had a run left. It started innocently, with just over two minutes left, when Dougherty was fouled and hit the first of two free throws. He missed the second, but a foul was called on Mason during the rebound and that put Henry Brooks on the line. He hit both shots, and that made the score 77-69 with 2:04 to play.
Mason missed its next shot, but Bagtas was called for being out of bounds as he released a three-point shot in transition. The Quakers then fouled GMU's Johnny Williams, and he obliged that move by missing free throws. On Penn's ensuing possession, Hicks hit a layup and was fouled. He made the free throw, and it was 77-72 with 1:09 left.
Penn forced a steal near midcourt, but Hicks got caught in-between the layup and the dunk and as a result he missed the open bunny. The Quakers were forced to foul Sherrod Wright, and he made one of two to make the score 78-72 with 43 seconds left.
Jackson-Cartwright was fouled with 34 seconds left and made both shots to make the score 78-74, but Mason smartly got the ball in the hands of Bryon Allen. Penn fouled him. Allen went to the line and did what he did all night -- make them. He ended the game 11-of-11 at the charity stripe en route to a game-high 24 points.
Down six with 23 seconds left, Penn worked the ball to Hicks and he drained his fourth trey of the night to make it a one-possession game. The Quakers then forced the ball to Williams and fouled him. Once again, he obliged with a pair of misses, Penn got the rebound and called timeout in front of its bench to set up the final play.
Penn used a 10-point run early in the game to take a double-digit lead, and while the lead was sustained throughout the half the Patriots refused to go away.
George Mason took 36 foul shots to Penn's 16, and outrebounded the Quakers 36-30. Penn did a much better job of taking care of the ball in the second half -- just four turnovers, after committing 11 in the first half -- but the shots stopped falling (32.4 percent, after shooting 63.0 percent in the first period).
Penn returns to action on Saturday afternoon, hosting city rival La Salle in its third Big 5 game of the season. A reminder that the tip time for that game has changed; it will now tip off at 4 p.m. (Originally scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.)
Game Notes: This was the first meeting between these programs in men's basketball … Penn played the game without the services of Darien Nelson-Henry (concussion), Camryn Crocker (knee), Patrick Lucas-Perry (knee) and Julian Harrell (knee, late scratch) … Penn had 10 steals, just the second time this season the Quakers have reached double figures in that category (also 13 at Monmouth) … Penn hit nine three-point baskets, one shy of the season high set in its previous game at Rider … George Mason became just the second opponent this season to shoot better than 45 percent from the field; the Patriots shot 45.3 percent (24-53) … Penn is 2-3 this season when leading at the half; in the three losses, their halftime leads were 1 (Lafayette), 1 (Wagner), and 2 (George Mason) … Sophomore Tony Hicks led Penn with 23 points, his 23rd career double-figure scoring game at Penn and his sixth time going over 20 points … Prior to his outburst on Thursday, Hicks had scored 24 points combined in Penn's previous four games … Hicks also set a career high with six assists and tied a season high with four three-point baskets … Senior Fran Dougherty scored 17 points, his 15thdouble-figure scoring game at Penn, and just missed a double-double with nine rebounds … After averaging 3.5 rebound per game in Penn's first four games, Dougherty is averaging 8.4 rpg in the last seven contests and has had at least nine in five of the last six games … Junior Greg Louis set a season high with 21 minutes played … Louis had eight points and five rebounds, both one shy of his season high set in his season debut, against Niagara … Senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright set a season high with two steals … Jackson-Cartwright had 16 points, his 58th double-figure scoring game at Penn which leads all active players … Before his layup with 30 seconds left in the first half, Jackson-Cartwright's previous 10 baskets (dating back to Marist) had been three-pointers; his only field goals in the second half were a pair of treys … In the last five games, 19 of Jackson-Cartwright's 23 made field goals are three-pointers … Jackson-Cartwright now has 1,218 points for his career which is 25th in Penn history; Dick Censits (1956-58) is 24th with 1,220 points, while Dave Wohl (1969-71) is 23rd with 1,226 points and Ron Haigler (1971-73) is 22nd with 1,236 points.

STEPHEN KOEPP, Executive Editor
It's often said these days that journalists like to build up heroes so they can tear them down. That's a bit of a misunderstanding. What journalists appreciate about heroes is the kind of journey they are on. It makes a great story, not least because the hero is taking a dangerous new path, fraught with setbacks and surprises. But it's the third act that really makes the story newsworthy, when the hero comes back from his mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man, as Joseph Campbell described the classic story line in The Hero with a Thousand Faces. In this magazine we bring you 20 such stories of heroes and icons, our choices of the people whose personal journeys were the most inspirational and provocative of the century. It's the fifth of our TIME 100 special issues profiling the hundred most influential people of the era. For the complete list of 100, see this issue's final page.You might think it would be hard to find heroes these days who stand up to scrutiny. True, we no longer have those all-purpose, old-fashioned heroes, the king or teacher or paragon who is right all the time. But we do have plenty of people with heroic passages in their lives, who bravely shatter a limitation or convention and open up new possibilities for others. As we selected our 20th century heroes, we found a pattern: the ones who changed society the most were those who liberated a segment of humanity that had been fenced in by prejudice. Jackie Robinson broke the color line in U.S. baseball; Helen Keller smashed old notions about the blind and deaf; Emmeline Pankhurst marched through the gender barrier at the polls.
Some heroes took a giant leap for all of humankind in journeys that were lonely by definition. The flight of Charles Lindbergh and the climb of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay showed where people can go on the planet if they have the wit and endurance. It's not enough for a would-be hero to have talent and persistence. It's not enough to be a winner. To take hold of the public, a real hero must have the ability to engage those who look to him for lessons. Muhammad Ali (the former Cassius Clay) did it with sweetness and sass, Pel� with kinetic exuberance, Mother Teresa with saintly stubbornness. As a group, American G.I.s made countless excursions into the world, demonstrating selfless commitment to a larger cause, no matter what the cost.
We also include a special kind of exemplar: the icon, the embodiment of an ideal that affects how we live and act. Marilyn Monroe, the original platinum goddess, became an indelible work of Pop Art. The Kennedys gave off an aura in which Americans basked, happy to think that the U.S. had become a place where one could grow up to be royalty. Princess Diana became a symbol of Everywoman's search for happiness.
Now we begin the task of picking a Person of the Century, which will be announced in December. And later this year we launch a series of issues called Visions, in which we pose (and try our best to answer) 100 thought-provoking questions about the coming century. We'd love to hear your suggestions for these future issues. Please write us, e-mail us or visit our website at to offer your ideas.

Steen & Hamilton has poached Cravath Swaine & Moore senior securities and capital markets partner Clayton Johnson for its new Beijing office.
Johnson will join the firm on 12 November and will divide his time between Beijing and Hong Kong. Cleary is expected to launch its new Beijing office early next year.
Johnson will focus on developing the firm's China practice as well as working on transactions for clients of the firm throughout Asia.
He was instrumental in establishing Cravath's office in Hong Kong between 1994 to 2003 and also developed a leading capital markets practice in Asia, primarily representing major investors.
Cleary Gottlieb managing partner Mark Walker said he anticipated that Johnson would ultimately be based in Beijing full-time.
"Cleary Gottlieb made an early commitment to the Asia Pacific region 25 years ago when we established an office in Hong Kong," he said. "Our Hong Kong and Beijing offices will work closely together to meet the needs of our clients in capital markets, private equity, M&A and other transactions taking place in China."
Cleary Gottlieb announced plans to open its first office on China's mainland last month.

The Dacia, the Romanian Car That Could
Richard Friebe
Steeped in History
The car appears often in Romanian culture and legend. One famous story tells of a Dacia owner who faked a breakdown of his car when it was confiscated by Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife as they attempted to flee in December 1989, their regime collapsing around them. The hated dictator and his wife were captured and executed shortly thereafter.

World Class Athletic Surfaces created the stencils for the on-field designs of 15 of this year's 32 bowl games including the Gator Bowl (Texas Tech vs. Virginia, Jan. 1 in Jacksonville) and the Poinsettia Bowl (Utah vs. Navy, Thursday in San Diego):
Making the stencils
• 1. Art designers send computer files of the logos with specifics on sizes for the midfield, side and end-zone logos.
• 2. A "field look" is created by the graphic designer (with all the logos on it) according to specifications and submits it for approval.
• 3. A file of each logo is loaded into the stencil machine computer.
• 4. The stencil machine reads the specs of each logo and draws it on plastic sheeting that has been pulled out onto a custom-designed 16-by-75-foot cutting table.
• 5. The machine cuts out the logos with small half-moon dots (like dotted lines) to designate where the logo colors should be painted.
• 6. The plastic stencils are laid on the floor and painted by hand. Each part is color-coded according to the logo's colors. The finished stencil looks just like the finished logo so it is easy to use.
• 7. The finished artwork, stencil and paint are shipped to the venues. (Stencils for San Diego were made previously.)
Painting the field
Field personnel at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium are busy with nine games this month. On Monday and Tuesday they painted the main Poinsettia Bowl logo:
• 1. On Monday, the field was painted dark gray midfield as a base for the 58-foot-wide, 25-foot-high logo.
• 2. The stencil was placed over the gray. White paint was applied where the stencil indicated white, first painting the dots, then connecting the dots and finally filling in the color. (It depends on the logo, but it's preferable to paint the inside first and work out.)
• 3. On Tuesday, the red and blue paint was applied the same way.
All paint and equipment stayed on the sidelines to avoid accidents. A 200-foot hose stretched across the field and the paint was applied with an airless sprayer. The painter can vary the air pressure and change the nozzle tips, depending on the area to be covered. Blowers were brought out to dry the paint.
The crew used approximately three gallons of white, and five gallons each of red and blue for the midfield logo. The paint is diluted (with water) by half. Depending on time of day, temperature and sunshine, the field can dry in 30 minutes to three hours.
The field at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, home to the Gator Bowl, will be painted after Christmas.
There will be seven logos for the Holiday Bowl, and the Qualcomm field crew will resod where the logos are (with 5,000 square feet of sod) on Dec. 28 between the Holiday Bowl and the Chargers' playoff game.
The Leland, Miss.-based company also provides stencils for Major League Baseball, the NFL, college stadiums, high school fields and several tennis centers. Fans can have home-field advantage with home stenciling kits.
Check www.worldclasspaints.com for company information and ordering. Five school logos are available (Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma and Tennessee).

In our column of November 27, we examined the woeful performance of the Buffalo Sabres' management and scouts in attempting to acquire scoring help through the entry draft. Today, in Part 2 of our series on the draft, we turn to the most important position in team sports — the goaltender. While the recent struggles of former first-round picks Martin Biron and Mika Noronen make this look like yet another area of Sabre drafting disaster, the results are actually a little bit better than what one might expect. zero writes…

Best Online Dating Apps
Here's Where to Find Your New Favorite Dating App

Grouper Social Club
Grouper is a website and iPhone app that sets you and your friends up on a group date by connecting to your Facebook profile. It matches up three guys and three girls (or same-sex couplings) based on your age, education, job, interests, and "general lifestyle." Basically, you pick your wingwomen, and the site selects the date, location, and guys (it also provides a round of free drinks). I could see how the group dates would involve less pressure and more fun, but I'd guess it probably leads to more friendships than serious relationships.

Strategic Plan
2015 & BeyondThe Strategic Planning Team met on May 12, 2015 to review progress on Strategic Plan 2013 & Beyond Action Plans. Designated assignees presented their Strategic Objectives, Action Plans, and progress toward Specific Results.The review of all plans brought the committee to the realization that the Specific results of the Strategic Plan 2013 & Beyond had been met because many are now part of the ongoing operations of the district and are no longer "strategic " in plan.The Committee agreed that the Action Plans as part of the Strategic Plans 2013 & Beyond are complete. The resulting projects as included in the Project Kids Committee recommendations are ongoing. We also confirmed that many of the projects that were included in the recommendations to the Board from Project Kids 2015 for the Bond Referendum on November 3, 2015 were based upon the objectives in the Strategic Plan.The Board of Trustees met in a July 31 Workshop to approve the District Goals for 2015-16 which have been based upon the Strategic Plan Objective for the last three years. They also approved expansion of those objectives that will incorporate strategies to complete initiatives related to the Bond as well as some others they have determined are vital to the future of the district.That expanded document is now the Strategic Plan 2015 & Beyond. It will be the responsibility of the Strategic Planning Team to develop new Specific Results and Action Plans to guide district staff in implementing those strategies and bringing them to completion over the next several years.The 27 returning members and 8 new members of the Strategic Planning Team met on Friday, October 16 for a workshop in which this team reviewed the revisions of the Board that have culminated in the Strategic Plan 2015 & Beyond. The Strategic Plan Team approved the plan and focused on writing the Specific Results and Action Plans that will bring these plans to completion. Implementation will begin upon assignment of Action Plans by the Superintendent. An annual update of plan progress will be scheduled in Spring 2016.
2013 & BeyondThe 2013 and Beyond Allen ISD Strategic Planning process began in January 2012 with the Team of 8 and Administrators working together to revise the Allen ISD Beliefs and to develop a Vision for the school district. On March 1 and 2, 2012 a 30 member Strategic Planning Team meeting was held with community representing parents, local business leaders, staff members and representative members of the Board of Trustees. these meetings yielded the development of a Mission, as well as the review and utilization of the Allen ISD Graduate Profile Components as Strategic Plan Category. On April 9, 2012, facilitators and board members created District Goals. Action Team Leaders were appointed and trained. Action Teams came together; they were asked to create specific action plans for each strategy, as well as to carry those results out in a step by step process.
Action Teams met throughout September, October and November 2012 with the final proposals and approval by the 30-member Strategic Planning Team in January 2013. The final strategic plan was presented and approved by the Board of Trustees on April 20, 2013. The specific goals, strategies and action plans are listed in this publication.

Despite CR's report to the contrary, this item is a big disappointment for plain toasting. The top and bottom are unevenly toasted and even at the higher end of the scale (5), it hardly toasts at all. It is also slow. Two pieces of frozen bread at level 5, takes over 4 minutes. If you want a unit that will toast bread well, don't buy this one.
Absolutely love this unit, so much that I bought 2 for my kids and talked a good friend into buying one. However, after 4 years, the fan is now making this annoying noise that it's just a matter of time before it dies.
Google search told me that the fan's clogged with grease hence the noise. There's no way of cleaning the internal fan so for the price of the toaster oven, it's lasting just over 4 years.
I will probably buy another one upon its untimely death but it's unfortunate that Breville doesn't make a product that lasts longer.
We purchased this to replace an identical one that we bought more than 5 years ago. This is an outstanding unit. We toasted bread, bagels, English muffins and baked everything under the sun including pizza, meatloaf, etc. There are cooking options/settings on the menu for everything you may want to cook. After 5 years one of the quartz elements started to burn out. With the price it was available at Best Buy, it didn't make sense to try and repair it. We had no issues with it over the 5 years we had it. It performed above expectations. It's well built, easy to clean, holds temperature very well and looks good sitting on the counter. You can't go wrong by buying this Breville toaster oven. I'm sure we'll get 5 years out of this one too.
The only thing we wish it had was a light inside. The newest model does have one, but the way this one has worked over the years, we'll stay with what we know.
I am very sadly looking for alternatives to my Breville. It s not totally dead but has ceased to operate well. Toast remains warm bread, baking fails. I forget exactly when I bought it, perhaps 4 years ago. A senior, I got rid of my kitchen stove last year and only use this. Perhaps it isn t meant to last long, but given how well it performs for all my needs in a compact size, including smaller trays of cookies and pizzas, I hate to lose it.
For the price of new, Ill be looking for better durability elsewhere. A basic full size stove isnt much more. I didnt expect it to last forever but 5 years might be a nice minimum.
And it did so many things and operated at a reasonable cost. It might be a simple fuse or replaceable burner but I cant get hold of service, the online contact is USA only and none of the repair information mentions function. So Bye Bye Breville.
I was on a tight budget and was looking for a second hand toaster oven and came across this beauty. It heats up fast and has even baking.
When this one fails me I would not hesitate in paying full price for this. It would be well worth it.
It's absolutely a marvel
I got this because my full size oven takes so long to warm up. This takes 5 minutes or less to warm up. It is large enough to bake a lasagna. We hardly ever use our regular oven anymore.
This oven is easy to use. I did not have to read the manual. All the commends are displayed on the screen. It looks beautiful on my countertop and does not take too much room. I highly recommend it.
fast heating and soo convenient for small baking nachos burgers etc . when i used to use my large stove gas oven my kitchen would heat up sooo much.
We already have one that has been our kitchen for the last 5 years. It has replaced the oven in our stove that we only use now a couple of times a year. We bought a second one for the small cabin we are building. This is perfect for small pizza, baking and roasting. Easy to clean and it our original one has worked flawless.
I have been using my oven almost daily since I purchased it just over a month ago. I especially like it as it is so easy to use and very straight forward. So far, I have roasted a chicken, baked scones, cookies, pies, casseroles, baked potatoes. I have a corning ware oval dish (approx. 9 X 13) which fits perfectly in the oven. I also purchased a 9" by 13" pan which fits perfectly in the oven. 9" by 13" pans with handles will not fit. I am especially pleased with the way everything is cooked to my satisfaction. In other wards, perfect!! I do not consider this to be a toaster oven but more of a small oven. I have tried several toaster ovens before but was dissatisfied as they were too small and did not seen to be able to keep the temperature and cook at an even and constant heat. I simply LOVE this oven but only wish it was just a bit larger. I use this oven whenever possible to avoid heating up my big oven.
Very quick preheating and convenient.
I am very pleased with the oven. I never had a toaster oven, Once I used it I was impressed, I even have my kids using it. We ALL love it. It is a quality appliance for a reasonable cost.
My only complaint would be ….. that I can't believe I didn't get it sooner.
Works great. Makes kitchen work a little better. Lots of different settings to warm, reheat, bake, toast etc.
Super happy with this oven. It cooks the food quickly and evenly and offers a larger cooking space than most toaster ovens.
It is a quality appliance for a reasonable cost.
My only complaint would be......that I didn't buy it sooner.
This toaster oven exceeds on all counts. It does not dry out the toast, It bakes evenly. We are very happy with the product. The only possible negative we came up with was that it seems to take a long time to toast bread but, that may just be impatience. If this oven is as reliable as we expect, this will make the Breville oven by far the best one we have encountered.
Had this model for 2.5 years. Used my breville oven a few times a week for pizzas, fries, chicken, baking pies, cookies, crumbles, etc. Loved the convenience of it...until one day it died with no warning. Screen went blank and power would not work at all, almost as if it had an expiry date. Apparently this is a known issue, as I read about hundreds of others having the same thing happen to this model of Breville Oven. [...] For [the price], I wouldn't purchase another, even though when it did work, it worked well. I went with a higher price point oven, expecting quality and longevity from the brand. Overall, I am very disappointed with my Breville experience, and will go with a less expensive appliance next time.
A few months after the warranty ran out the control panel started acting up. Buttons don't work, half the time I can't turn it on or off. The dials would jump settings all over the place so I no longer can precisely set the temps or timer. Very disappointed. We really liked it before this issue which has now made the oven almost unusable. We're looking to replace it but hopefully with something more reliable.
First toaster Oven. Did a lot of research. Wanted it for baking and broiling more than toasting although I do find I am using that feature. As a single person I was tired of waiting for the big oven to heat up and the expensive of operating it. The Breville does an excellent job; quickly. Especially like the convection feature. I find I'm using it even when I entertain as it is large enough to handle steaks and small roasts. Great for my home made pizza too. Love the idea of using the top to warm dishes,
Very Satisfied.
We bought this toaster over and I can't say enough about how excellent it is. So easy to use and it toasts perfectly every single time and in less time than a regular toaster or oven. The dials are easy to use and big enough to see. There are enough settings to do everything you need to in a regular toaster oven and more. I loved it so much I bought another one for my cottage.
I have had this oven for 10 years use it ever day it is amazing. Still going strong. Yes I would recommend this to a friend. Yes I would buy another one. It is a awesome oven!!!!!
i have had this product for a few months. i use it at least once a week. it is perfect for making cakes , cook and roast perfectly and with little cost compared to my big oven. good investment for the money. easy cleaning and the timer is a great add on.
It is smart . It tells you what temperature and what time is good for your cooking.
I've made everything from toast to a whole roasted chicken. It cooks hotter and quicker than a conventional oven and is easier to clean. I just hope it lasts a couple years at least, I read somewhere the screen will die eventually and you will have an useless oven.
I've had this toaster for a month and I'm really impressed with it.
This toaster is a rare example where all the added "bells and whistles" actually helps, rather than over-complicate things.
- Very easy to use. This is what I like best about it. My previous old-school toaster over (with only temp and time settings) was actually harder to use because I have to remember the temp and time for simple toast.
- Internal heat sensor adjust pre-heating times according to how hot it is currently.
- It remembers old preferences, but very easy to readjust setting.
- None.
I got this convection/toaster oven for a friend. She said "- toasts bread evenly whether 2 slices or 4 slices
- instructions are clear and accurate - e.g., reducing temperature by 25 degrees if using convection feature to bake produces good results with what I've baked so far
- easy to clean
She is a happy baker!
I never use my regular oven anymore. This oven cooks everything including frozen pizza.
Heats up very quickly even at 450 degrees. Cooks faster than a regular oven because the food is much closer to the heat source.
Not really a "toaster" oven. More of a portable convection oven.
Excellent little oven. Cooks as well as the stove. An ideal option for cooking small items. Cooking times are the same. We use it almost everyday.
I got this product about a month and a half ago to replace my toaster oven which had stopped working. The one I had mounted under the counter but that type is no longer available so decided to get one that had a larger capacity and doubled as a convection oven. I love it. I've used it for toast, pizza, to roast and am really happy with it. It heats up quickly works efficiently. The only downside is have a small kitchen and had to find room for it, but so far it's been worth it.
I use my oven everyday. Great size to accommodate most dishes. Quiet operation and heat around oven is low even when operating at top temperature for a long period of time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for convection toaster oven.
I am new to convection ovens and I haven't used the Breville BOB800XL to its full potential yet. But so far so good. For me, there is a fairly steep learning curve around cooking times, program selection and just getting a good feel for things but I'm very optomistic based on my use to date. I have cooked a pork chop dish and similar simple things and I am working up to something more ambitious.
I like the look and dimensions. The preset program options make good sense. It's easy to use.
If I were designing this product I would put a little more substance into the dials. They work great but feel flimsy. The product would feel better if the dials were just a little stiffer and felt more solid.
Used it for about 2 months, so far no problems. We like everything about this oven, the look, the look and the functionality. Looks need mention twice because it's that good looking.
The middle rack that comes out automatically is my favourite feature.
We got this amazing unit only 2 days after ordering it online and we totally love it!!!
Toaster-Ovening is fun all over again. Delightful recipes and quality functioning makes us proud to have this quality unit.
A high score for us.
I love this product. There is only my husband and I. We used it for everything, baking, broiling, toaster, and we love it.
So far it is working perfect. We purchased it 7 months ago. We use it every day. And if it only last 1 year it is worth it.
I will definitly purchase another one.
Purchased a Breville convection toaster oven, BOV800XL. Within 4 months display light dimmed returned it to store and they replaced it with another unit. New unit's display light also dimmed after a short period of time, decided I could live with it. Recently oven door came crashing down, Googled problem, broken spring seems to be the word out on the net.
Door constantly crashing down now, quite annoying.[...]
This is a very good toaster oven. Problem is that is stop working 13 months after purchase. Breville customer support has yet to help in any way. No response to email (which according to Breville Canada is the only way they will communicate). Buyer beware - this is a very expensive piece of junk, you won't be getting what you paid for.
Fan quit 11 months after purchase, display went blank a month later. Get the product replacement plan so the sting hurts less when it fails, because it will.
This toaster is one of the best on the market hands down!!!!
I had to replace a 5-year-old convection oven (common brand name, starts with O). I was excited about getting this sleek-looking oven. Got it home, washed all the accessories and ran the oven through its burn-in routine as instructed in the manual. Everything seemed great. Next day the thing was dead: no lights, no response at all, even when plugged into a different outlet. Returned it to BB. What a waste of time and money (gas, parking, unpacking, washing, burn-in, testing, repacking). Breville should pay me for this crap.
Breville makes showy appliances but seems to cut corners on quality control. The more bells and whistles they put in their products the worse they seem to be.
Save your money and get a regular brand convection oven for 1/3 the price at the hardware store.
This toaster was fantastic to use until it died just a couple of months after the warranty expired. Looking online. It appears to be a lemon of a toaster with a lifespan of around 12-18 months. If you do get this (because it does work well when operational). Make sure to get the extended warranty plan.
For an appliance that is supposed to be the creme del a creme of toaster ovens it is disappointing the dial controls feel like something found on cheap, kids' toys.
Really, really like this thing!
If you want to buy a convection oven ,I highly recommanded this one. Easy to use, easy to clean, time saver,good for everyday use.Although the price is higher than other brands,I think it is a good investment. Don't wait, just go and get one. You will love it as I do:)
After finding our Miele wall oven was too small to handle our cooking needs for holiday gatherings, we went shopping for a second and larger wall oven to add to our kitchen. Once we discovered the price and installation costs we decided to try a convection oven as a short term quick fix until we determined the best wall oven for our needs. We rationalized that we could buy a new convection oven EVERY YEAR for MORE THAN 10 years and still come out financially ahead of even the least expensive wall oven unit.
We spotted the Breville Convection Oven and were impressed by its heft & solid construction (we literally picked-up every other oven in this category from the shelf to examine) combined with the sleek stainless steel finish. The Breville looks right at home on our granite countertop and exceeded our expectations.
Now, almost 1 year later, we are impressed with how it cooks more evenly and quicker than our Miele convection wall oven. For example, it cooks individual, homemade 10" thin crust pizzas in 6 minutes or less including warm-up time versus the 16 minutes for the Miele. Plus, the Breville has a larger than expected cooking capacity handling my regular pans for roasting potatoes and various meat cuts. Currently we use the Breville more often than our wall oven and microwave combined especially when reheating bread because it doesn't make the bread chewy & tough like microwaves do. Further, we enjoy the easy to use auto timing device which shuts off the oven when baking frozen lasagnas and other prepared meals.
My mother is so impressed with our little Breville such that she wants one too! A perfect gift for her and my dad and a handy addition to their kitchen.
We have owned two previous Convection Toaster Ovens that cost much less. - It seems to be true that you get what you pay for! The control buttons broke and the fan burned out soon after we started using them. The doors were both glass and one broke when it was opened too quickly while it was still hot. *Our Breville is still like new after using it regularly for over a year.* We agree with the other reviews that this is the best product to cook and heat meals or toast bread and buns. You will be happy when you spend your hard earned dollar to get this product. (The only thing missing is an interior light!) It looks GREAT on our counter!!!
I had been looking for a countertop convection oven for months... something to do chicken, frozen lasagnes, or pizza in that doesn't require the 10 minute warm up typical of a large oven and is perfect for small quantities that go along with living alone or only ever cooking for 2. You can turn off the convection fan, turn on a feature that lets it know you're cooking something that is frozen, and has more features and mode adjustments than I could ever use. Compared to 90% of the crap out there for the same price, this appliance feels solid when opening and closing the door, the knobs turn easily and the buttons are designed such that they won't wear out easily. There's even a handy magnetic catch on the door that pulls the tray out when you drop the door open then lets go at the right moment and looking at the size of a 13" pizza pan and the oven, you'd never believe the pan would fit inside until you actually do it. It is deceptively large inside. Overall a perfect 5. I've used it nearly daily as my principle cooking device for almost a year and I have had zero problems so far.
Great styling, industrial strength construction, and cooks perfectly! Highly recommended and worth the price.

According to Peterson Francois '12, Lynn is like Disney—where dreams come true.
Peterson said Lynn University has helped him connect with "highly qualified, experienced, talented and supportive professors" who educated him to achieve both academic and professional goals. "Lynn University has helped me make my dreams come true," Peterson said.
Since graduating from Lynn with a master's degree in business administration, Peterson has written the book, Inspirations: My Vivid Imagination Has Been Transformed into Reality, which was inspired by his professors who were committed to giving him a strong educational foundation : Ralph Norcio, Farideh Farazmand, Lisa Dandeo, and Jose Lopez.
"Inspirations"provides a great deal of stirring, useful information designed to enable people to find the balance that can change their lives forever. This powerful book of motivation will instill confidence in anyone working hard to find success.
Though Peterson says writing a book has given him great accomplishment he is not stopping there. Lynn changed his life drastically, in a positive way. Therefore, he wants to open his very own university to do the same thing for others. He wishes to pay it forward and give people the same inspirations and opportunities that Lynn gave to him.
Just when the man could not get any more inspiring, Peterson aspires to create a charitable organization that will "focus on helping sick children, adults, seniors, families and the homeless."
"No one will be able to recognize you as a human being until you can prove to everyone your strength by creating something on your own," writes Peterson. He commends Lynn and his professors for playing a huge role in allowing him to create something he can call his own.
