If EJ Thribb was writing a "So farewell" eulogy in Private Eye for HSBC, it might begin like this:
"So farewell then, HSBC,
Off back to Hong Kong,
You were never at home here,
Neither did we like you much…"
For some time now, that's been the mood about HSBC. A foreign bank from a distant land, that came here big time in 1992 when it bought dear old Midland, but in its attitudes and culture, never shook off its "Honkers and Shankers" roots.
Do not be surprised if the bank's board votes shortly to "go home" to Hong Kong. All the signs are in that direction – not least this week's announcement that 8,000 UK jobs are going, as part of a global cut of 50,000. In a five-hour presentation to the City, "Actions to capture value from our global presence in a changed world" (they don't do short and to the point, do bankers), the group's chief executive Stuart Gulliver left them under no illusion: Asia is where it's at; the UK is so over.
The figures say so: 78.3 per cent of HSBC's $18.68bn (£12.04bn) annual profits last year derived from Asia, versus 3.2 per cent from Europe). Of its 48,000 employees in the UK, here, most work in high street branches or at Canary Wharf. By 2019, HSBC must ring-fence its retail business to keep consumer deposits away from the investment bankers. In his speech, Gulliver surprised analysts by saying that as much as possible of its UK activities would be put into a new, rebranded retail bank to be run from Birmingham. The fact it is being renamed, and a whole host of UK operations included, suggests only one outcome: HSBC will one day sell this new bank as a standalone business.
HSBC would not confirm how many branches will close. Currently, it has 1,057. The only figure it would give was 12 per cent of branches across its seven markets. If they stick to that proportion for the UK, that's 127 due to perish. Don't be surprised if, in a Britain with competing banks, and shifting rapidly online, the final tally is higher.
It's still possible to make a profit out of the ordinary person and offer a good service in return – as the rise of the "challenger" banks is proving. But for the big boys, the returns are small compared to what they can rake in elsewhere, from commercial and investment banking. Inevitably, within those giants, the UK high street has an increasingly reduced voice. Branches close or become run-down, service suffers, queues lengthen, profits from them decline still further, and so the spiral continues.
In theory, the bank's directors will consider 11 criteria to decide whether to remain here, including government support for financial services, the tax system, ability to retain top talent, rule of law, and cost of the move. The reality is that the 11 boxes are a fig leaf. What matters is what Gulliver and his colleagues want, and as his talk made clear, they're drawn to Hong Kong.
They manage one of the world's biggest banks. It's a huge business success story, an essential provider of UK jobs, a massive supplier of taxes. Yet, instead of laying out a red carpet, government ministers, other politicians and the media give them a pasting. And HSBC has provided plenty of ammunition – it's been caught mis-selling its products to customers who did not need them, money laundering for Mexican drug cartels, rigging the foreign exchange markets, and sheltering customers from UK taxes in Switzerland.
To his undisguised fury, Gulliver himself was required to explain (not very convincingly) why he had non-domicile tax status, a Swiss bank account and a Panamanian trust. Apparently this is not how you treat one of the world's most powerful businessmen; it is not the correct response of a grateful, cap-doffing society.
One aspect that irks HSBC, wearing its multi-national hat, is that, of all countries, the UK has cracked down hardest on banks, with a bank levy it sees as simply unfair. It is imposed on the global operations of UK banks, but only on the UK operations of foreign banks, so HSBC registered here is clobbered. But put that in context. HSBC has paid $3bn so far in bank levy. That, however, is far short of the $11bn handed over in fines and legal and regulatory bills.
The levy, though, is about sentiment as much as cost. Gulliver thinks we indulge in "banker bashing" far too much and it's gone on for too long. Again, he may be right. But as an economy heavily skewed towards financial services, we were hit hard by the banking collapse. And, it's the bankers themselves who are to blame for scandal after scandal, not anyone else.
Gulliver and his chairman, Douglas Flint, believe the world has moved on. They can't help noticing that they're treated with far more respect abroad, especially in Hong Kong and China, than they are in Britain. While we're banging on about bonuses and trying to ring-fence their operations, in Asia they're greeted with open arms.
For all that, though, the truth is that HSBC has never felt happy here. Historically, emotionally, it does not belong. I remember once admiring the view from the Canary Wharf office of the then HSBC chairman, Stephen Green. It was spectacular, with the City and Tower of London in the near-distance, Parliament beyond, and the silver Thames wending between them. Green looked, and said, "It's not as good as Hong Kong harbour."
Don't be surprised if HSBC goes, but don't shed any tears either. It will still be a major employer here; it will remain a large player. Its bosses, though, will be somewhere else. They were always going to return; it was only a matter of time, and finding the excuse.

I love this its great !!! I took a few Opinions from other comments. 1 I left out the bacon and 2 I used healthy request cream of chicken soup. I left everything else the same. The salt is so much less. |

Just a head's up - the chicken calories may not be accurate. The calories for the recipe are calculated using "4 units yield from 1 lb ready-to-cook chicken" (304 calories total) - which does not mean 4 chicken breasts. The ingredients call for 4 chicken breasts (1,038 calories total). |

Very good but it was pretty salty...and that says a lot coming form someone who loves salt! But my husband loved it. |

If you use fat free milk, fat free sour cream, 98 % fat free cream of chicken soup, and add 2 more chicken breasts for six servings, it reduces the calories to 172 and the fat grams to 3.4 grams. |

Pretty salty, but good. I'm going to try substituting yogurt for he sour cream to see if the sweetness offsets it. VERY easy & DH likes it! |

This recipe would be good if you could eliminate some of the salt. The flavor of the salt is overwhelming, especially if you do not use a lot of salt on a regular basis. |

Even though I tweaked the ingredients to lower the sodium content, it was quite salty tasting and could barely taste the ranch! Will try again later with some other tweaks... |

This stuff is soooooo good. Once when I made it I didn't have the sour cream and used ae party dip and it was really good too (but much more salty). I also use the real bacon pieces & it gives it a really good flavor & I get 8 servings out of this. We also thickened it w/ corn starch. |

This was fabulous and I will definetely make it again! I used chicken broth instead of the milk to further cut the calories and used 6 chicken breasts intead of 4! I will definetely make this again and again! Thanks for a great recipe!! |

This was pretty good. It was really saltly (and I did not add the garlic) and got to be too thick and was not creamy. Next time I will just cook it in a pot so that it stays creamier. Or if I do put it in the crockpot will put it on a bun and make a chicken bacon ranch sandwitch. |

This recipe was great! And easy to make! The sauce was a little on the salty side, so next time I will try making it with the Healthy Request Cream of Chicken Soup, which has less sodium, and see how it turns out. Can't wait to try it! |

This gathering of more than 60 poems from the U.S., Great Britain, the Caribbean, and Australia into one big luscious book is just the ticket for little ones.

There are poems about growing, bananas and cream, getting dressed, rain, and mud, mud, glorious mud. You'll know some poems and you might recognize some favorite poets like A. A. Milne, Jack Prelutsky, Charlotte Pomerantz, Michael Rosen, Dennis Lee, and Anonymous.

KitchenAid Dishwashers
Consumer Complaints and Reviews
We have been generally pleased with out KitchenAid Dishwasher until recently. It was purchased in December 2015. Lately as we start a load, it sounds like whirling vacuum sweeper. The repairman tells us it is due to a bushing that has leaked. After the machine warms up, the sound goes away yet the quiet nature of the washer was the very reason we went with KitchenAid. The repairman said we could solve this issue by replacing the motor for a $350 price tag. Has anyone else experienced this issue? We were told that no further damage would occur but the noise will get louder until the machine finally quits.
I purchased a top-of-the-line KitchenAid dishwasher in 03/2009. From day 1, I had to wash the dishes by hand before putting them in the dishwasher because it just didn't get the dishes clean. Fast forward to 02/2017 and I called KitchenAid to let them know this dishwasher is now full of rust, the cleaning elements are rusty, the racks are rusty and what would they do about a dishwasher less than 8 years old. I was told because it's so old they wouldn't do anything to help me. Hence, they said purchase another dishwasher. I had my last dishwasher for over 10 years and it worked like a dream. I will NEVER purchase another KitchenAid product again. They do NOT withstand the test of time and are poorly made.
Horrible manufacturing!!! KitchenAid dishwasher model KUDE20IXSS8. Motor only mounted with a very SMALL PLASTIC grommet. Further, from the motor is a rubber hose/gasket that is clamped with a one-time-use flimsy ring. This attaches to the plastic drain pipe. When the grommet failed (vibration, etc), the flimsy plastic ring could not hold the weight of the motor separating the motor with the rubber hose FROM the drain pipe. SEE where I'm going here, yes, catastrophic failure. Yup, water gushed out all over my kitchen floor. Under flooring, cabinets, under refrigerator. Water/moisture mitigation was encouraged by insurance company before repairs. Repairman also mentioned he has repaired this same problem 5 times. Shame on KitchenAid (made by Whirlpool), this should be recalled and at a minimum manufacturing resign is a must!
The sliding top shelf of my KitchenAid dishwasher is not sturdy. It requires a moderate amount of skill to use. The shelf must be gripped from below and after loading gently pushed back in an upward motion. When the shelf is pushed back, after loading, the shelf disengages from its roller bars and falls into the bottom shelf; this happens if the person loading forgets or jams the unit. It is difficult to reinstall. I have had to purchase an extended warranty from the distributor to enable normal usage. I purchased the unit and extended warranty from ABT Electronics, Glenview Illinois.
We had the worst experience with a Kitchenaid dishwasher. I made many attempts in calling them and nothing was ever done. All they did was they send me the same technician over and over. Today we had the technician come and he recommended to get a simple model and not to go with the KitchenAid brand. The sides of my kitchen where the steam vents are in the dishwasher, they are destroyed them completely.

KUDD03DTSS2 - I bought a KitchenAid DW in 2009 which was well outside of my budget but wanted it to last and felt comfortable that the company had a good record and would stand behind their product. Well, all of that was not true for me. The DW did good for about 3 years and then it started tearing up. The design of the unit is flawed and they will not admit it. There is a $1.47 plastic flange that connects to a plastic connector on the fan motor, and holds the filter in place within each drawer. The connectors which are made of plastic crumbles and the flange will not stay connected so the fan motor unit has to be completely replaced because of this problem.
With labor and parts costs it adds up to $300 and this is just one drawer. The flange itself cost $1.47 and the fan motor costs $85.81 and the labor and service call cost me $300 just for one drawer that has since tore up again along with the bottom one doing the same thing. Got in touch with KitchenAid and was told there isn't any recalls on the product so they offered me a warranty program that wouldn't go into effect until after the repair. You know where they can go. So going to buy a new one and guess what brand I won't be buying.
This model KUDC2OFVSSO - has been terrible since day one. The only way it gets dishes cleaned, is by washing the dishes prior to putting them into the dishwasher. It functions basically as a sterilizer, not a dishwasher. I would NOT recommend getting a KitchenAid! I'm not sure where to go from here, but I won't ever buy another one, as I don't have $500+ to throw away.
Purchased a higher end Kitchen Aid dishwasher model KUDE60FVSS3 in 2010. End of 2016 dishwasher was having issues with it not draining at the end of the cycle. Had a local repairman out twice. He replaced the drain pump and repositioned the drain line - didn't fix the issue. Contacted Whirlpool/KitchenAid customer service and set up an appointment with a factory authorized technician. Factory certified tech couldn't figure out what was wrong (test was not producing an error code). He suggested replacing the main board and drain valve sensor - ($400+). He couldn't guarantee that this would fix the problem since he couldn't get an error code. I understand that appliances break down, and I was prepared to have this one repaired, but when the fix is a trial and error throw money at it approach, this deems a product as disposable, since it's cheaper to buy something new.
Although the dishwasher is 6 years old, I estimate that it has run less than 1500 cycles (running it every 3-4 days over the 6 years). Also, in the 6 years I've had to replace the cutlery baskets twice - cheap plastic garbage. I sent a complaint letter to Whirlpool executives and their response, although quick, was one basically one of "We're not prepared to do much". KitchenAid use to have the reputation for quality and reliability. Now they have cheapened the design to where the higher end models are no different than a cheaper $300 disposable machine. There was nothing wrong with the quality of money I paid for this dishwasher, but certainly Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid quality and reliability leaves a lot to be desired. Will never buy another Whirlpool product, nor will I recommend.
Just purchased this dishwasher (KTA 44 dBA) mainly because it matched the refrigerator KRFF707ESS I wanted and am pleased with. However the top tier drawer of dishwasher is pretty much useless. I thought it was for stacking flatware but the prongs are so short, the flatware falls over. Wish I had bought a Miele which is more expensive but definitely superior. So now I'm not using the upper tier for flatware. Alternative is this enormous basket which takes up so much space. No one would ever have need for that much basket space... takes up the whole depth of bottom drawer, which by the way, slide out on their own volition often. Don't stay closed unless you forcefully push it into place. Not thrilled with this dishwasher. It is quiet and it does clean. That's it. Spend the money and get a Miele.
Dishwasher Model KUD535FXBL9. If I could give this dishwasher a zero I would. I have had this dishwasher about 2 years and 7 months. The motor and pump assembly are shot. Seriously. I live alone and do about 2 loads of dishes a week. Also mailed in the registration but never received notice about the top shelf recall. Between my KitchenAid gas range and the dishwasher I am absolutely disgusted.
KitchenAid dishwasher kud530fxss4 constant repair. Thermocouple went out, repairman replaced. 6 month later out again. Replaced with modification recommends by manufacturer. 7 months later out again. Replaced again. Now circuit board fried. Appliance is not worth the price. I have had dishwashers costing half as much last years. Will never buy KitchenAid again. Dishwasher is 4 years old and going to the trash bin.
Cleans well, looks good, moderator noise level, durable (I've had it for almost 14 years). My only criticism of this dishwasher is that it has leaked off and on over the years that I've had it. No one can figure out why that is. I've assumed that the leaking has to do with the way I load it but that theory has been debunked by running it with only a few dishes loaded exactly as they should be. Still a mystery. Looks good. Moderate noise. Has held up (and hope I am not jinxing myself by saying that now!).
I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher, model # KUDC10IXWH4 on August 1, 2013. I have been having difficulty with the machine for the last 6 months. My dishes were coming out dirtier than when I put them into the machine. The machine was not using the soap, it just piled at the bottom. I tried powder soap, liquid soap, and pod soaps with no help. Finally my husband made it so he could watch the washing process. The spray was only going up about 4 inches - not hitting my dishes. No wonder I have problems. We are trying to put in a new motor at $100.00. I have only had this machine for 2 years and I already have to make costly repairs. Very disappointing!!
I based my answers on convenience and performance. My KitchenAid dishwasher looks great, it's black and looks pretty in the kitchen landscape, but it's been so annoying at times. When it works, it works great. But for a long time we dealt with a broke part that made the top tier have to be manually clicked into place every so often or it would not roll back and forth. We were sent the wrong part in the mail and continued just dealing it with for months and months.
Not to mention, the dishwasher doesn't close smoothly, it seems to be slightly too small for the space it was installed in because we have to push it extra firmly to click into place when closing it. It was a KitchenAid serviceman who installed it. I wanted to get a different brand than KitchenAid but we live in an old apartment building that doesn't accommodate new big dishwashers. Our choices are limited and KitchenAid was one of the few choices that fit our size. I should say it is working fine now and does perform well. I am satisfied with it.
It does not clean well as it should no matter which brand or type (gel vs power vs pack) I use. Noisy. Long long cycle. I have had two kitchen aids before this and was happy. Then this house came with Maytag which did not do halfway good job cleaning. Then when it broke I chose KitchenAid. But this one seems noisier and even the cycle seems long - it may be average just seems long. The dishes do not come clean. Especially forks.
It has done a terrific job, washed a lot of dishes, I would purchase another one if this one quit. I have used this dishwasher every day, sometimes twice a day. It has done very well.
Model KDTE104ESS - purchased 13 months ago; 3rd dishwasher we had - others changed with kitchen upgrades, never had a failure such as this. Previous dishwashers were Kenmore, Frigidaire; latter was a very basic model; in same residence 32+ yrs, kids (3) no longer part of current household. Dishwasher used 6-7 times per week in household of 2, with my wife cooking 5-6 days a week; moderate use, rarely use heavy-duty clean cycle with present dishwasher. This model has a 2-stage filter (fine, coarse), with recommended cleaning varying from once/2 months to yearly. We did not clean it since new, since we scrape dishes, do minimal pre-wash or none - our usual practice for 32 yrs in present house, 6-8 yrs in prior house.
When dishwasher quit draining, checked filters, small amount of residue (1/2 tsp or less), no significant coarse grit seen. Noted no discharge from DW via exhaust tube with 3 successive cycles. I watched running empty DW. Had purchased an extended warranty for a year (3 appliances, range, fridge & DW), all purchased together, all KitchenAid, 13 mos ago with complete kitchen remodeling after 22 yrs since last remodeling.
Repairman (under warranty) checked machine, found exhaust pump "clogged with debris", failed; emptied some particulate matter from exhaust tube into a bucket, looked like congealed fat, a few parsley & other leafy matter. No hard grit seen. He did say that matter had been pulled past the filters (couldn't say why other than pump has a suction like a vacuum), though neither filter was even moderately clogged.
KitchenAid approved a $300 plus sum for pump replacement; their consumer services could not answer my query as to how so much debris got past the filters to cause pump failure within 13 mos. This model does not have a grinder as in next higher model, but again, there was not much particulate debris I could see; pump was not yet removed, so will wait to see what it looks like.
In summary, very disappointed with this early pump failure, with way less usage than in prior dishwashers that functioned well for a family of 5 for 10 yrs, and 22 yrs respectively. Believe Kenmore is made by Whirlpool, the parent company of KitchenAid, so the design, though older, is I feel similar. Modern DW detergents (we use the satchets, not powder or liquid) recommend NOT scraping too much food residue off dishes, to allow triggering of enzymatic action for cleaning dishes. We rarely see residue, occasional baked on material such as egg yolk, which we now clean off; no pots go in DW, rare baking dishes, which we scrub off in the sink. So we don't feel this DW was overworked.
Writing this while searching for others with similar pump failures, trying to understand why two levels of filters failed to protect a pump that obviously is rather delicate, hence recommendation by KitchenAid Consumer Services now that every month we run an empty cleaning cycle with an Affresh tablet to clear the system. BTW, we've never seen hard-water residue inside any of our dishwashers; the prior two did not have stainless steel interiors, never required special interior cleaning with bicarbonate etc., for any build-up; we get city water, pipe-bourne, just flushed out my gas water heater after 4-5 yrs, saw a small amount of milky flow at beginning of drainage, then clear; I have a water filter at my house cold-water intake; the water (filtered) in the 'fridge is always clear, no problems with ice-makers over 32+ yrs, no hard-water cum anywhere.
KitchenAid has no answer for us other than the Affresh cleaning cycle; we use a comparable DW detergent to the recommended Cascade, not Cascade Platinum as recommended; anybody with a similar problem, either with KitchenAid dishwashers or any Whirlpool family dishwashers (include the high-end Jenn-Air brand now)? Am feeling very disappointed with this choice right now, will expect another pump failure in 1-2 yrs, if so will look for remedy from KitchenAid, or else...!
Can scan receipt of purchase from Lowe's store locally if required. I have no repair order number, as requested below. Do have extended warranty # if required. We had Sears brand appliances in our old house (8 years), still have Sears (Kenmore) washer and dryer, 3 sets over 43 yrs of married life, 2nd set in this house, first set lasted 24 years, top-loaders, replaced when laundry room was remodeled, now with HE front loaders that are currently 8+ years old. Some repairs were needed, recall replacing motor of current washer when motor-bearing became noisy.
Bought and broke down less than 2 months later. Was repaired and it worked for about 3 months - different problem. Won't empty. Revolving arm on top will not move. Detergent cakes so quickly and often does not dispense.
It is the best dishwasher we have had. The dishwasher has the standard 2 pull out baskets as well as a pull out top tray for cooking utensils. It also has a stainless steel interior. Our kitchen is open to the living area and this dishwasher is so quiet that it does not interfere with watching television or disrupt any conversation. All of our K-A appliances in this house including the microwave and range hood also offer this level of quiet.
I tried to find the diagrams for KitchenAid Model KDTE204DSS1 to no avail, as they keep providing a different but supposedly similar model. The washer has a pump that whines and screams and now it will not pump. I did the usual, and cleaned the filters etc. Finally with a turkey baster, I emptied all of the water from washer. I then carefully removed the three prong brown wire from the pump. I twisted the pump and it came out in my hands. Once the pump is totally dissimilar to all pump on the dishwashers that Kitchen Aid lists. This does not make very happy. As I write this, should I find/buy a pump in the morning and put it in place and the machine again fails, I look at the circuit board and head to Sears to buy a Kenmore. Kitchen Aid needs to be in the garburator.
It has easy setting, I particularly like the soak and scrub for heavy load. I also like that rinsing is not often needed. If you can rinse it off, you can just put it in the dishwasher. And it is quiet.
I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher in September of 2010. The purchase price with installation and taxes $800.29. A service call was made March of 2013 with a broken latch. In 2015 the same problem occurred. This year 2016 in September the latch broke again and now it's two months later and the panel of the whole electrical circuit board does not work. I am extremely dissatisfied with this product. I actually have never gone online and made a statement as far as dissatisfaction with an appliance. It seems like to me that not only are products made to break with being told I should have purchase an extended warranty which from many of the reviews is an additional waste of money.
I wish I had looked at more reviews prior to purchasing the product. Dishwasher model number is kuds30ixbl. I was upgrading appliances and wanted a nicer product. I will never recommend a KitchenAid appliance again. When I spoke with people on the phone it was very dissatisfied. Basically I'll have to say that most companies are no longer concerned with customer service. I plan to look for the cheapest dishwasher I can find with as few electronics and things to break as possible.
Bought our KitchenAid spring 2016. November 2016, I noticed our cupboards next to the dishwasher are ruined because someone at KitchenAid had a brilliant idea of doing a side steam vent instead of a front vent. Clearly the product designer at KitchenAid has never used their own product... or they just don't care about the consumers buying a poorly designed product.
Whirlpool owns KitchenAid. BUYER BEWARE!! The dishwasher does a good job but God help you if you ever need to use the warranty. Mine has a door leak. The repairman came out 5 times and replaced the tub twice, the door liner, the door, the hinges and the latching mechanism. There is still a 50/50 chance it will leak depending on how hard you slam the door and I do mean SLAM. They have taken up almost 15 hours of my time. The warranty says they will repair or replace the washer. THEY WILL NOT. You are dealing with dishonest people with no integrity. They are like an insurance company and they will do whatever they can to wear you down and not honor their obligations. Do yourself a favor. When looking at products, pass up the KitchenAid items.
We purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher (Model KDFE304DWH0) on 09/02/2014 from Lowe's in Simpsonville, SC. We purchased a 3 year warranty. On 10/05/2016 the dishwasher stopped drying the dishes. We called Lowe's. On 10/07/2016 a service tech from WFCC AUTHORIZED SERVICE INC. (ASI) came out and said the (owl??) water sensor needed replacing, and they would order the part(s) and call to schedule replacement. On 10/12 I called ASI and was told they would call me when the part was in. On 10/21 I called Lowe's and they could not find out if the part had even been ordered & would get back to me in 7-10 business days. We have now been without the use of the dishwasher for 3 weeks and no repair has been scheduled. Based on my experience, I would not recommend anyone buying a KitchenAid appliance from Lowe's.
You would think that you spend more money on a trusted brand that it would last for more than 5 years. It's only been used a couple times per week for my wife and me. Called three repair service companies who all told me that the issue is most likely a faulty circuit board which cost about half the price of a complete new dishwasher. Please be assured that I will never buy another appliance from KitchenAid in my lifetime. Hopefully my experience proves beneficial to you!
This appliance is a disgrace. After 2 months the control panel broke and was replaced. After 3 more months the soap dispenser broke and was replaced. The door is coming apart at the side. Today the handle came off in my hands. It is now 10 months old. I can only think this product is designed to enable the sale of extended warranties.
I purchased the top of the line KitchenAid dishwasher 2 years ago, paid over $900. I bought the extended warranty and it broke within first 2 years. Turns out there are no parts for the repairs. National back order. This is a new appliance. I paid $250 for the extended warranty only to get a buyout of $573. I am now without a dishwasher and out over $600. My other rant is that they are now going to throw this thing in a dump. What is their carbon footprint? I have never been so dissatisfied with an appliance in my life! KitchenAid can kiss my ass!
Glasses do not come out clean. Our new Kitchenaid Dishwasher does not clean glasses and dishes. I have cleaned the machine numerous times and tried several soaps. Company officials told me it's my water. Funny. None of my neighbors seem to have trouble with their dishwashers. This machine also takes over 2.5 hours to do a normal load of dishes. I purchased an extended warranty but feel like giving up and purchasing a new machine. We have been hand washing the dishes for a few months now. :( Do not purchase this product.
I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher two years ago. I have a KitchenAid refrigerator that is 25 years old. The dishwasher KDFE1040BLO has been worked on 4 times. They have replaced the water valve and the motor. Just yesterday, it dumped water all over the floor and the heated dry is not working. Thank goodness I took out an extended warranty. I know that KitchenAid is a good brand, but I am very disappointed in my dishwasher. It hasn't worked 3 out of the last 6 months.

A father and his daughter, both suffering from the Gardner syndrome, came to our attention at the same time with symptoms produced by primary carcinoma of the duodenum. Duodenal polyps were also present. Studies of these and other patients with similar features strongly suggest that these lesions may be a part of this inherited condition. Roentgenographic examination of the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract should be a routine part of the follow-up of patients with this syndrome.

Jamil along with his twin brother Jamal Merrell as well as Mike Larrow and Andre Civil have the opportunity to form one of the deepest defensive end rotations in the Big East. SOR caught up with Jamil the other day and discussed his plans for his Scarlet Knight arrival.
When asked why he selected Rutgers, Jamil Merrell mentioned, "Rutgers is just an all-around great school. It is very similar to my high school and that is why I am comfortable there. People seem to be real nice and show a high amount of respect. Being that Coach Susan who recruited me is an outstanding person and Coach Schiano is such a caring and yet great coach made me commit to the Scarlet Knights."
As far as his qualities on the field, he confessed, "I think I bring a lot of leadership and intensity. I also have a terrific work ethic. I won't stop until I make a play. As far as my moves, I like to set them up. Whether it be swim, bull rush or rip etc., I like to play with em' a little bit".
Jamil as well as his twin brother Jamal will be participating in Delaware's biggest All-Star game; The Blue and Gold Classic. "Me and my brother had opportunities to play in other All- Star games, but we wanted to stay home and represent for the state of Delaware." he said.
In response to a question about the competition at the defensive end position, he stated, "you will have to face competition wherever you go. There is always going to be someone as good if not better than you. You can't try to be better, you have to be better. .. meaning you have to do whatever it takes earn the spot. If you work hard, it will all work itself out."
The Merrells seem to have formed a bond with recruit Duron Harmon who is also a member of the 2009 Rutgers Singee class. "Duron is my boy. We have gotten to know him well being from the same state and all. We haven't gotten a chance to meet all of the guys, but the few whom I have met seem real cool. Being that we are not the most local, we still have to get to know a lot of the guys, but I'm sure that it will be fun.
It appears that eligibility shouldn't be an issue. Jamil said, "We are reporting on June 23rd. I can't wait to get up there. We'll probably take a couple summer courses and stuff like that and also have the opportunity to get in the weight room and learn the system."
As for expectations for playing time this season, he mentioned, "I'm not gonna set my mind on red-shirting… I'll tell you that. I'm just gonna do what I have to do and if the coaches need me, ill be ready to go."
Finally, Jamil had a message for Rutgers fans, "I know you haven't heard much from us because we have been concentrating on our school work, but we just wanna thank you for the opportunity to attend such a great school and promise you won't be disappointed. You will be hearing a lot from the Merrells in the future… God-willing".

Going with 5 other people and splitting a place that sleeps 6. Lodging is about $600 each for 7 nights. Lift tickets were included with the packagefor $325 or so for 6 days skiing. Got airfare from Chicago to Seattle from Southwest for $217 round trip and renting a car for the trip up there and back for 3 of us is about $80 each.
Flying into Vancouver would add about $400 more to the trip cost after ground transfer is included and would have been a deal breaker had the Seattle option not been there. |

Pretender to India's Tamil Nadu leadership jailed for corruption
By Suchitra Mohanty and Sudarshan Varadhan
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's Supreme Court convicted a confidante of the late chief minister of Tamil Nadu on Tuesday in a corruption case that will put her behind bars and effectively end her bid to become chief minister of the southern state.
The court found V.K. Sasikala guilty in the disproportionate assets case, upholding a four-year jail term handed down by a lower court and banning her from seeking elected office for 10 years.
The verdict delivered a decisive blow against Sasikala, who had emerged from the shadows after three decades as a low-profile adviser to claim the mantle of five-times Chief Minister Jayalalithaa Jayaram who died in December.
Sasikala mounted a bid to oust Tamil Nadu's caretaker Chief Minister O.P. Paneerselvam, corralling lawmakers from their regional ruling party into a resort hotel in an attempt to stop them from defecting to her opponent's camp.
The power struggle in the state of more than 70 million that has attracted foreign auto makers and consumer electronics firms, comes amid rising social unrest that has raised doubts over its attractiveness as a place to do business.
Known as the "Detroit of Asia", Tamil Nadu is India's second-largest manufacturing state. It hosts auto makers including BMW, Daimler, Hyundai, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Renault.
Sasikala, who first won the favour of Jayalalithaa by making campaign films and went on to run the household of the actress-turned-politician, was ordered to turn herself in to a court in Bengaluru, capital of the neighbouring state of Karnataka, that convicted both in 2014.
The disproportionate assets case was first filed in 1996 by Subramanian Swamy, a veteran lawyer and politician from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's nationalist ruling party. "After 20 years, I won," Swamy said in a tweet.
Jayalalithaa was jailed in 2014 for holding 530 million rupees (6.3 million pounds) in unaccounted cash and property accumulated during her first term in power. She stood down following the verdict only to be freed on bail, and returned to office months later.
Sasikala was also a defendant in the case. She has been ordered to pay a fine of 100 million rupees ($1.5 million) and cannot appeal the verdict.
"She may file a petition for review, but generally it is not entertained in criminal matters," said B.V. Acharya, who had earlier acted as a public prosecutor in the case.
Representatives for Panneerselvam, the acting chief minister, and for Sasikala could not be reached for comment.
Their party's official Twitter handle expressed its support for her, saying that whenever Jayalalithaa had been "in despair" Sasikala had "shared the burden".
"She is doing the same now, truth will prevail," it said.

Both men and women should eat a third meal on Shabbos. We should begin eating before the sun sets.

Bible Lesson #1 - The Birth Of Jesus (Atheist Minority)
This young lady nails it (Christianity) elegantly and eloquently. Please subscribe to her YouTube channel: Atheist Minority.
Sunday, February 8, 2015
This is from an invitation that was offered to me to attend a gospel concert via Facebook. The invitation was extended by the wife of a childhood friend. I sarcastically refused the invitation, because you can do that with long-time friends that know you. I thought that my friend's wife would respond with some snarky, but humorous remark about my lack of faith - we both would laugh, and that would be it. Not here - a gay brother, and a pushy white woman had to add their two cents. Christian White folks don't like nigger Atheists, and most black folks can't process nonbelief. No Christian can handle me (I can't wait to meet the Pope - that shit would be all over the news - "My God... He said WHAT?"). The brother left after one response, but the white lady had to keep trying with two more posts - and poof!
The dialogue is exactly reproduced below:
Apanage21 - C**** - why would you invite me to something like this - you know I am an atheist. At the same time I appreciate the invite.
Gay Black Brother - @Apanage21 - I think thats EXACTLY WHY YOU WERE INVITED!!!..MR APANAGE21. LOLOLOL... (Pushy White Woman "Liked" this post)
Apanage21 - C**** - why would you invite me to something like this - you know I am an atheist. At the same time I appreciate the invite.
Gay Black Brother - @Apanage21 - I think thats EXACTLY WHY YOU WERE INVITED!!!..MR APANAGE21. LOLOLOL... (Pushy White Woman "Liked" this post)
Apanage21 - @Gay Black Brother - I wholeheartedly appreciate C****'s invite, and I love her for it... And I do not have a problem with people that want to spend their time and resources on Christianity, churches, preachers, etc. It is just that I have better things to do with my time.
Pushy White Woman - @Apanage21, I hope you realize the "better things you have to do" with your time here on earth is not going to be enough for you. We are here for a short time, but eternity is forever!
Just sayin'...
Apanage21 - @Pushy White Woman - yes you are entirely correct that "we are here for a short time, but eternity is forever," and that is precisely why I do not spend time or resources with philosophies or institutions that do not carry myself or my people forward. It is quite, quite unfortunate that my black people have accepted something so retrograde and nonsensical from our former slavemasters - but that is the way it is, and you just work with what you have.
As far as "eternity" is concerned - there is not one person on this planet that has any more knowledge about what happens after one dies than anyone else. I am perfectly comfortable with "I don't know."
Pushy White Woman - @Apanage21 - Why does everything always go back to the victim hood mentality? I would have thought that with the election of a black man as president the whole issue would have been moot. If slave owners were Christians I am sure they wanted their slaves to be Christian also. White people don't always have an ulterior motive. "Retrograde and nonsensical" seems a little extreme.
Apanage21 - @Pushy White Woman - I may be mistaken, but I do not remember bringing up or relating to anything regarding a "victim hood mentality." If I did, I apologize for that, and from now on I will make sure to be more precise in my responses. As far as the election of a "black man as president," and "victim hood mentality" moot-ness, that is the deeply misplaced mixing of apples and oranges. One does not relate to the other. That would be as bad as me saying: "With the election of a woman president, that should make the whole thing of violence towards women a moot issue..."
You see?
You are comparing a singular outcome from the endeavors of an exceptional black person, born, raised, and trained-up in exceptional circumstances, to the historical through present-day circumstances of the actual descendants of slaves. This is - an invalid correlation. A unique situation that does not and cannot correct the other. You also said that: "If slave owners were Christians (which they were) I am sure they wanted their slaves to be Christian also."
I am sure they did too...
But, if they were just as enthusiastic about making their slaves FREE, instead of just merely Christian - I do think we would be having a different conversation at this time.
If you look around the world at black communities that are primarily Christian, there is generally not much positive going on that is moving black people forward at the same pace, or to the same high levels as other groups in the areas that really count in the here and now. When we do build something, it is usually a church. The only things we do have going on within our communities that we seem to do better than others is: "Spirituality," basketball, creating music about doing black-on-black murder, and doing black-on-black murder.
That's it.
When I got rid of God belief, I simultaneously got rid of any "victim hood" or "dependency." Hard work, self-sufficiency, and personal responsibility is what creates my blessings (if you want to call it that) - not any prayerful appeals to a supposed supernatural, or wasting precious time listening to preachers. Jesus does not float my boat, and I consider religious belief to be an insult, not just to my intellect, but to my humanity as well. Lastly, when I used the words "retrograde and nonsensical," I most definitely was not being "extreme." I was using appropriate language in describing what I know Christianity to be. But hey - if you want to hear "extreme," here it is - I think that Christianity as a whole, is not only anti-black, but also anti-American, as well. So much of the Holy Bible (if you read it) is in opposition to Constitutional freedoms and protections. Two of the main reasons this country was founded was to get away from fascist bullshit like, "divine rights of rulership" and religious authoritarianism.
"Kingdoms," either earthly or celestial, don't appeal to me - democracy works just fine. And after 400 years of Biblically supported slavery - lords, masters, saviors, redeemers, "chosen" individuals, or any damned thing that looks like those, don't and won't appeal to me either. Thank God (ahem) that the founders of this country had the courage, the foresight, and the wisdom to separate church and state... Now that's "extreme."
POSTSCRIPT: The dialogue that you see here is a good example of some of the back and forth religious shit that I regularly talk about. Notice how the white bitch immediately "liked" the post from the black (gay) guy (she knows what she's doing). White folks do innately know (yes) that Christianity is the main working aggregate component of the great white supremacy propaganda system. It is a dangerous thing (a problem to be solved) to encounter any African American that is non-Christian (second), or that is totally atheist (first).
They know that any black person that has divested himself of God-belief (especially the Christian kind), has probably in-part or in-full de-niggerfied him or herself. Can't have that... Being a Christian is an essential part of being a nigger - it always has been that way, from slavery, till now (and that's why many white Christian motherfuckers get so worked-up when they encounter nigger atheists). All white one percenters and black clergymen know this. And if a nigger is not a Christian, that means that, THAT nigger may not be UNDER WHITE CONTROL. "Wtf? A black nigger that don't pray to our white Jesus..? WHOA!" "My God - is it possible this nigger might not be a NIGGER?" And then - there's me, a real de-niggerfied nigger, right here, being that right black non-participating sonofabitch that atheistically might do or say anything.
"That heathen NIGGER might not kiss our white asses!!!"
Christianity is the ENEMY of all African Americans... Christianity, when a white person understands (or sees) that it is the "operating system" of whatever black person, people or group that they are dealing with - it cools that fucker right out. This "system" functions as a type of "safety assurance" for them. Christianity renders US [black folks] intellectually non-competitive and proactively worthless. And THAT is why whenever a white person encounters any black person (oops) that "makes too much sense" - they have to do a "Jesus Check" on their asses for two fucking reasons: The first reason - is to make sure this potential troublemaker is innately co-signing the white supremacy program (whites know that as long as that nigger "Believes In Jesus" - they will firmly hold the keys that can shut that sonofabitch down if he gets too far out of hand), and: The second reason - that "Jesus Check" is there to make damned sure that whatever positive or constructive things that he or she might be thinking, saying, or doing, towards other blacks, can somehow be nullified with some good Biblical authority.
"Can this nigger be authoritatively - PUT BACK IN HIS PLACE?"
"What you got?!!!"
"We got some "LIBERATION THEOLOGY" for this NIGGER..."
My significant other (whom is only nominally religious) has noticed and pointed out, how white folks will fold-up and put away the bullshit that they bring to other African Americans when they find out I am a real atheist. Thats right folks! I have went through and have completed an entire deniggerfication, degodification, and dejesusfication process (and that process includes my custom-made Jesus dartboard baby).
As a result, I don't care what religious motherfuckers think (especially the white ones).
No... I don't pray, I don't respect clergymen, I don't seek "blessings," I don't believe in the fucking Bible. If I ever meet Jesus - the first thing I will tell him is to: "Kiss my black ass..!" And... "Give our money back man!" Now look - I do enjoy watching those white folks attempting to process within their white minds, a deniggerfied nigger (A nigger that thinks and speaks on equal terms with all motherfuckers. OK?), and then attempting to discuss good and substantial subjects with a black motherfucker that can't say the name of Jesus, can't do "amen," and can't "praise the lord," without having to pop a goddamned Rolaids.
Shit - those motherfuckers are 99 cents a pack at Walgreens man...

Muslim Asks About Discrimination - Gets Awesome Answer!
NOTE: This is the most awesome answer I've ever heard regarding the peaceful Muslims versus "the radicals" smokescreen. But a little correction and clarity regarding her response is in order here. There are 1.6 Billion Muslims in the world, about 300 Million of those are SYMPATHIZERS to the aims of the active radicals (about 2.3 Million people out of that 300 Million). By "active radicals," I mean those that are within Islamic militias, instigators, suicide bombers, gun runners, planners, spies, explosives technicians, recruiters, latent terror cells, and those holy, but agitating clerics. Those 300 Million sympathizers provide; safe passage, safe cover, financing, ideological sustenance, and other resources so that those on the front lines can do...
What they do.
What they do.
Like killing people, and blowing up shit - you know.

Over a quarter century (holy crap that sounds like such a long time) I've learned a lot of different things. Today I thought I'd go through some of the most noteworthy that I remember. Photos were taken on Mount Lemmon.
Do not depend on others to make me feel good about myself. I need to be kind to myself and treat myself better because it's my responsibility to make myself feel good about myself, not someone else's. This is a topic that I'm really passionate about and I wrote all about self confidence and self love here.

QA∙C# will work under the same runtime framework as QA∙C and QA∙C++. This gives consistency of use across languages. Common result formats means that data from all the tools is handled seamlessly by all downstream components such as the QA∙Verify results analysis and distribution tool.
Just like QA·C++, QA·C# is designed for engineers to use at the coding phase of a project to ensure the development of high integrity code. QA·C# can be used to detect and prevent defects and ensure compliance to coding standards, on existing or new code at any stage of the development process. It is fast, non-disruptive, easy-to-use, and adds value to any size development environment.
QA·C# detects and reports on reliability problems, maintainability issues and coding standard violations quickly and efficiently. By adhering to the "early & often" philosophy, software defects are identified at creation resulting in simplified development lifecycle and reduced costs and cycle time. QA·C# provides an efficient, robust, and fully automated environment to introduce and enforce coding standards.
Current release: QA·C# 1.1

It was a showdown of the top two teams at the Jr A Western Canada Cup in Estevan, Saskatchewan on Wednesday Night. But it turned out to be a mismatch as the Brooks Bandits bombed the Portage Terriers 9-3.
The Alberta Junior League Champion Bandits led the game 3-0 just over seven minutes but the Terriers roared right back to tie the game at three just under seven minutes into the second.
From there, Brooks dominated by scoring six unanswered goals and wound up out shooting Portage 53-26 in the game.
With the win the Bandits improve to 3-0, clinching a spot in Saturday Night's 1st vs. 2nd championship round game to determine the Western Canada #1 seed at the RBC Cup Tournament which begins May 14th in Lloydminster, Alberta. . he winner of that game advancing to the RBC Cup. Portage is now 2-1-1 and could earn a rematch with Brooks if Melfort defeats West Kelowna on Thursday Afternoon. If the BC Hockey League Champion Warriors prevail, then the Terriers will be relegated to the 3-4 playoff on Saturday afternoon, two wins away from an RBC Cup berth.

President Asian Strategic Stability Institute (SASSI) University Islamabad
South Asia is the only region in the world where two independent nuclear weapons states with major security disagreements border each other - India and Pakistan - and sits astride a third - China. South Asia also is plagued by an increasingly deadly mixture of local, regional and international terrorist organisations. Furthermore, there are global transitions at play in the region including the growing defence and security collaboration between the US and India and likewise deeper cooperation between Pak-China and Russia. The impact of these transitions combined with the growing economic collaboration is likely to place South Asia centre stage and affect the global and strategic transition in Asia Pacific.

While anti-gay C of E supporters gather to 'flesh out' strategies to keep GLBTI people out of their church, The Archbishop of Wales has given his support to gay marriage today, saying ... All life-long committed relationships deserved the welcome, pastoral care and support of the Church and that the issue of same-sex relationships was a moral issue facing the Church and the world, on which there was no single Christian opinion. With all church hysteria around gay marriage, The Archbishop is concerned that gay people may once more gain the impression that the church is uncaring and unsympathetic. He warned... Gays and lesbians claim they are still treated as second-class citizens, tolerated at best and vilified at worst. Very often homosexuality is talked about as if real people were not involved and gays and lesbians complain of being talked about rather than talked to in Church....If the moral aim of the gospel is to encourage love of neighbours, how can that happen when people are made to feel unwanted, unloved, and sinful? How is the gospel good news for homosexuals?
Now listen you FCAs...I'm here to give you a hand. Let's get out there and wreak havoc on those equality lovers. God new what he was doing when he created women and same-sex attracted people... He had to create some who were 'different by design' and some who were 'faulty by design' to make you guys fit the protype of His image!

Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom made it three wins out of four matches after beating Eugene 'RabbiFoo' Katchalov in the latest PokerStars Superstar Showdown.
The young Swede booked a profit of $111,750, not bad for four hours work. The match got off to a cagey start but exploded into life when Blom turned a set to beat Katchalov's top pair. The PCA Super High Roller champion fought back though after rivering a flush to beat Isildur1's set.Trips were to prove a crucial part of the contest with Katchalov thinking he was in great shape holding pocket 9s on a 2h3cJdKh9h board. Unfortunately for the challenger, Blom was holding pocket kings and pocketed a pot of $62,500, the biggest of the match.Isildur1 kept that momentum up as the match neared its conclusion, provoking a check shove from Katchalov, who was holding Q6, on a rainbow 457 board. Blom, who had pocket jacks faded the 3 and 8 to take a $22,500 pot.Tony G, Daniel Cates and now Katchalov have all succumbed to Isildur1 in the Superstar Showdown with only Isaac Haxton managing to defeat the Swedish youngster. Blom is now in profit to the tune of $166,065 heading into round five which will be against qualifier Dodgyfish72 on Sunday 27 February at 8pm UK time.Keep up to date with all the news from the poker world by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

Your Cap Status
The Titans will be between 20 and 30 mil under the cap once FA opens, not $37M. It was never an accurate figure, it was a prediction made by GM who knew his days were numbered and was clearly the absolute best case scenario likely factoring in all the releases and possible restructures he could have made, also probably not factoring in the roster bonuses due on Henry and a few others. Until they're officially announced, I'd bet most of these are off to some degree.

I don't know where you got this from, but it is way off. The Eagles have 12.4 mil in cap space, not 3.6. Thats not the only one that is wrong too. I'd say at least 75% of these are wrong.

Numerous polls show that Americans want to reduce our military presence abroad, allowing our allies and other nations to assume greater responsibility both for their own defense and for enforcing security in their respective regions. In The Power Problem, Christopher A. Preble explores the aims, costs, and limitations of the use of this nation's military power; throughout, he makes the case that the majority of Americans are right, and the foreign policy experts who disdain the public's perspective are wrong.
Preble is a keen and skeptical observer of recent U.S. foreign policy experiences, which have been marked by the promiscuous use of armed intervention. He documents how the possession of vast military strength runs contrary to the original intent of the Founders, and has, as they feared, shifted the balance of power away from individual citizens and toward the central government, and from the legislative and judicial branches of government to the executive. In Preble's estimate, if policymakers in Washington have at their disposal immense military might, they will constantly be tempted to overreach, and to redefine ever more broadly the "national interest."
Preble holds that the core national interest preserving American security is easily defined and largely immutable. Possessing vast military power in order to further other objectives is, he asserts, illicit and to be resisted. Preble views military power as purely instrumental: if it advances U.S. security, then it is fulfilling its essential role. If it does not if it undermines our security, imposes unnecessary costs, and forces all Americans to incur additional risks then our military power is a problem, one that only we can solve. As it stands today, Washington's eagerness to maintain and use an enormous and expensive military is corrosive to contemporary American democracy."

Water & Power is modern noir. What emerges from the long shadows of a rainy night is as mysterious as what will never see the light of day. Who is the Power behind the Power? How does Water flow in a desert? Who controls the streets, cops, gangs or gangsters in suits and ties? Nothing is concrete in L.A. except the river.

The Ted Schmitt Award
A hard working immigrant father wants better for his sons, twins named Water and Power. He wants them to be like Mr. Mullholand – deciding where the water flows in this desert pueblo. From the Mother Ditch in Chinatown, to the arroyos and ravines that would become Dodgers Stadium, L.A. re-invents herself faster than a Hollywood soundstage. History is cemented over and stars fade in a blaze of glory, but Water and Power will always be remembered -- all will know how the eastside rolls! Everything the brothers stand for hangs in the balance as they meet in room #13 at the Motel Paradise on the eastern edge of Sunset Boulevard. That's a part of the boulevard you never want to find yourself in on a dark and rainy night. L.A.'s not for everybody...
"Admirers of the group's unique blend of Chicano-inflected, spoken-word-erupting performance art needn't worry that they've lost sight of their signature gifts. "Water & Power" daringly tries to bundle these elements into a theatrical experience that veers inevitably toward tragedy." - The Los Angeles Times, Read More
Originally performed by the award-winning Chicano/Latino performance troupe Culture Clash at the Center Theatre Group's Mark Taper Forum in July 2006 under the direction of Lisa Peterson.
