Metals and Mining: Winners and Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Allegheny Technologies (ATI) and Yanzhou Coal Mining (YZC) rallied higher; Coeur d'Alene Mines (CDE), IAMGOLD (IAG) and Stillwater Mining (SWC) showed weakness.
Allegheny Technologies led the pack of gainers, rising 6% last week. Yanzhou Coal Mining followed, accumulating 2%. Last week, it was known that the coal company is bidding for Australian mining firm Whitehaven Coal, valued at around $3.7 billion.
A few coal companies ended in the green last week after Consol Energy (CNX) recorded higher-than-estimated coal production in the first quarter, thereby raising its annual coal target. Also, JP Morgan raised its price target for coal producers like Arch Coal (ACI), International Coal Group (ICO), Peabody Energy (BTU) and Consol, primarily on the back of higher coal prices.
Another coal company, Westmoreland Coal (WLB), rose 1.5% at the end of last week. Meanwhile, Carpenter Technology (CRS) edged up 0.6% after the company announced to raise its base prices on stainless and specialty alloys between 3% and 5%, effective for orders placed on or after April 15.Among metal and mining stocks, most declined past week as commodity prices eroded significant value during trading. Gold and silver stock Coeur d'Alene Mines was at the helm of losers, declining 14.7%. Following suit, IAMGOLD slipped 13.1%. The company recently announced that it is selling its 19% stake in Tarkwa and Damang gold mines in Ghana to South African mining giant Gold Fields for $667 million. This stake sale will create value for its shareholders through higher cash and cash equivalents of $1 billion. Also, Zacks Investment Research reaffirmed its neutral rating on the stock. Solitario Exploration & Royalty (XPL) eroded 12.9% during the past week after it was downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell due to its feeble growth in earnings per share, weak operating cash flow, and poor profit margins. The company last week priced its underwritten public offering of 3.4 million shares of common stock at $2.50 per share. As gold and silver prices pulled back from their respective highs tracking oil prices, majority of mining and commodity stocks also dropped. Stillwater Mining erased 12.6%, while Mines Management (MGN) lost 12.3%. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) declined 10.6%. Meanwhile, the company went ex-dividend on April 13, 2011 with shareholders eligible for a dividend of 25 cents per share. The company is scheduled to release its first quarter 2011 earnings on April 18, 2011 with earnings per share estimated at $1.26, compared to $1.03 in the year-ago quarter. With silver prices slumping early last week, silver stocks shed most of their accumulated gains. Pan American Silver (PAAS), Silver Wheaton (SLW) and MAG Silver (MVG) dropped 10.7%, 9.2% and 9%, respectively, during the past week. As commodity prices spiraled down last week, copper stocks such as Teck Resources (TCK) and Southern Copper (SCCO) eroded 9.4% and 8.5% in value, respectively.

LONDON (AP) --LONDON (AP) -- Scottish authorities say there are numerous casualties and people remain trapped inside a Glasgow pub after a police helicopter crashed into its roof.
Authorities early Saturday said search and rescue teams were on the scene at The Clutha pub in the city center.
Officials say a number of people have been rescued and taken to hospitals but that it is too soon to comment on the number of casualties. Scotland's leader, Alex Salmond, warned that fatalities are likely.
Asst. Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay says rescuers have made contact with some people still in the pub and are working hard to stabilize the building and "get people out."

UEFI-aware operating system does not boot after load defaults or deployment - IBM BladeCenter and System x
RETAIN tip: H194888
Loading the defaults in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) deletes the Boot Order entries for any UEFI aware operating system.
These entries are required to boot the operating system correctly.
Deployment images may also use this information to automatically boot an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) operating system for the first time.
Affected configurations
The system may be any of the following IBM servers:
This tip is not software specific.
This tip is not option specific.
The workaround is dependent upon the particular UEFI operating system. Refer to the UEFI operating system information for the actual file name and path used to boot that particular operating system.
For example, for Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the steps are as follows:
Additional information
This is working as designed.
Operating system vendors are aware of the symptom. When you boot your UEFI operating system using "use the Boot from File method," the operating system may recreate the UEFI Boot Order Entry if it has been deleted.
By copying the UEFI operating system boot manager to the GPT System Partition directory \EFI\BOOT with the name BOOTX64.EFI, this will allow the EFI operating system to boot automatically.
The boot manager for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is as follows:
Copying the UEFI operating system boot manager when building the master disk image that will be cloned for deployment will allow the EFI operating system to boot the first time the system is started.

Port Vale have confirmed midfielder Ryan Lloyd has signed a new one-year deal with the club.
Lloyd, who came through the Valiants' youth system, was out of contract but was offered a new deal after impressing manager Micky Adams in the reserves and in two first-team starts at the end of last season.
The 20-year-old left-sided player told the club's official website: "I want to push on next season and gain a regular starting place in the team."
Lloyd becomes the latest Vale player to sign a new contract, joining Carl Dickinson, Chris Birchall, Chris Lines, Chris Neal and Richard Duffy.
The Valiants are still waiting on a decision from Joe Davis. The 20-year-old defender has been offered a one-year deal but is understood to have attracted interest from other clubs.

Some years ago, novelist Lee Smith of Hillsborough bought a packet of letters at a garage sale. She spent the weekend reading them, fascinated by the letter writer's relationship with her sister and how she related the ordinary details of her life. Smith absorbed the voice of these letters and soon sat down to write her stunning epistolary novel, "Fair and Tender Ladies."
Reading the letters worked for her.
Charlotte's Mark Ethridge III also happened on a packet of letters. He has a different story.
Ethridge, former publisher of the Business Journal of Charlotte and managing editor of the Observer, was on tour for his second novel, "Fallout," when a woman introduced herself to him. "Hi. Your father married my mother."
They had never met, but Ethridge knew who she was. His parents divorced when Ethridge was grown, and his dad married a woman who had children of her own.
Ethridge says the woman told him that after her mom died, she found this stack of letters from his dad to her mother. "I thought you might like to have them," she said.
Ethridge says he recognized the distinct signature of his father's typewriter on the tissue-thin Par Avion stationery.
"I have to warn you," the woman said. "There are things in there you might find shocking."
The top letter, Ethridge noted, was dated around the time of his parents' divorce. He glanced at the bottom letter.
To his surprise, he saw that it was dated many years earlier.
I was fascinated. What did the letters say?
"I don't know," Ethridge says. "I haven't read them."
Ethridge says he told a producer friend about the letters, and the friend warned: "Don't open them."
Why? he asked.
"Because once you know what's in them, you're going to have to work very hard not to be restricted by the content," Ethridge says the friend told him. "You're going to keep getting pulled back to what they are. If you don't open them, they can be the most interesting thing you want them to be."
It won't surprise you to know that this third novel, tentatively titled "Blood Relative," opens with the protagonist being handed a packet of letters.
"Blood" will be a sequel to his first novel, "Grievances," adapted into the 2012 film "Deadline." Which means Matt Harper and his sidekick Ronnie Bullock will return.
When will the novel be finished?
Ethridge has been around the block a couple of times now, and he's too savvy to answer.
"There's finishing," he says, "and there's finishing."

Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. Reports Operating And Financial Results For The Second Quarter 2012
Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP) ("Atlas Resource" or "ARP") today reported operating and financial results for the second quarter 2012.
Edward E. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Resource Partners, stated, "We are very pleased with our results in the second quarter, especially our record production level of over 62 Mmcfe per day. Nonetheless, this period should be seen as a mere prelude to the sharp acceleration in distributable cash flow that we anticipate in future quarters. We have taken the last several months to effectuate major transformations – acquisitions, new fields, new blockbuster wells, a new investor program – that are now generating and will increasingly generate substantial growth in distributable cash flow. We are happy to reconfirm our distribution guidance for the second half of 2012 in a range of $0.90 to $1.00 per unit, as well as full year 2013 distribution guidance in a range of $2.30 to $2.45 per unit, representing approximately a 50% increase from the current annualized distribution level of $1.60 per unit."
Second Quarter 2012 Results
- Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure, of $16.6 million (1), or $0.50 per common unit, for the second quarter 2012;
- Distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, of $14.3 million (1), or $0.43 per common unit for the second quarter 2012;
- ARP declared a cash distribution of $0.40 per limited partner unit for the second quarter 2012, at a coverage ratio of approximately 1.1x; and,
- On a GAAP basis, net loss was $16.7 million for the second quarter 2012. The loss for the second quarter 2012 included acquisition costs related to the recent Barnett Shale transaction. Please see the reconciliation of GAAP net loss to adjusted EBITDA in the financial tables of this release for further information.
Matthew A. Jones, President of Atlas Resource Partners, added, "Since the closing of our acquisition of Titan in late July 2012, we have been able to commence our drilling plan for the Barnett Shale in order to drive substantial growth in production and cash flow from that region.

Solid classic cover
Reviewed By Adrian M (MERRIFIELD, VA) Reviewed for a 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class —12/22/2014 4:33 AM
A little of a challenge installing on a MB E320 (you have to remove the back panel of the seat w/ star wrench, unclip fastener and electric to headrest in order to get headrests off). But, after all that, more challenging was hooking in straps! Not a perfect fit, but conforming better every day.
Unexpected surprise!
Reviewed By Lisa H (Durango, CO) —12/9/2014 3:14 PM
These sheepskin covers are far above the quality I was expecting. Not sue what you get for some of the ones listing for 499.00 on the Internet but these are totally worth the investment. The seat does not conform exactly to the measurements of my 2015 Subaru Forester but it's generous and doesn't other me.i totally would recommend these to anyone looking to buy quality sheepskin seat covers.word of warning- use care when opening the box- do not use a box cutter.

(Updates with government response in second paragraph.)
Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- China's neighbors should prepare "for the sounds of cannons" if they don't temper their positions in territorial disputes over the South China Sea, the state-run Global Times newspaper said in an editorial today.
Countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and South Korea should not take China's "mild diplomatic stance" for granted as they seek to resolve conflicting territorial claims, the newspaper said. The government distanced itself from the report today, saying it didn't represent its views.
"If these countries don't want to change their ways with China, they will need to prepare for the sounds of cannons," the unsigned editorial said. "We need to be ready for that, as it may be the only way for the disputes in the sea to be resolved."
The Global Times is owned by the People's Daily, a mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party. The editorial said China's current understanding is that such disputes should be resolved via negotiation. "But if a situation turns ugly, some military action is necessary," it said.
In response to questions about the editorial, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told reporters today in Beijing that China "adheres to the strategy of peaceful development" and is committed "to resolving the maritime dispute through peaceful means."
"Sowing discord and hostility will only complicate" the issue, Jiang said.
Patrol Vessels
China has used patrol vessels in recent months to thwart efforts by Vietnam and the Philippines to explore for oil and gas in the South China Sea. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned in July that increased confrontations in the area are a threat to sea lanes.
Competing claims to the South China Sea threaten to sour ties between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations members Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia as the countries compete over oil, gas and fisheries resources in the disputed waters.
China, citing historical evidence such as pottery shards, claims a tongue-shaped swath of the sea demarcated by nine dashes that extends hundreds of miles south from Hainan Island to the equatorial waters off the coast of Borneo.

This such a great and easy recipe and a great example that great Italian food is simplistic. We loved this recipe so much that when we spent a week in Tuscany last summer in a villa, I made sure to make this for our guests. When in the US I use grape tomatoes for the extra sweetness but when in Italy, the tomatoes are so beautiful, you can use any you find.

I do not usually like green beans, but it looked so good while I was watching you make this recipe that I had to try it. I did blanch the beans as I too like them a bit less crunchy and I must say that it was fantastic. My husband and I enjoyed this recipe so much and it was so tasty that I will make this dish often. Thank you.

I love the flavor of the tomatoes! (I still blanch the beans before sauteeing though because I don't like them as crunchy.

Grants to Build a More Highly Educated Nursing Workforce
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has announced the nine state "Action Coalitions" that will share $2.7 million to advance strategies aimed at creating a more highly educated, diverse nursing workforce. The nine states that are receiving two-year, $300,000 grants through RWJF's Academic Progression in Nursing (APIN) program are California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington state. For each, this is the second two-year APIN grant and it will be used to continue encouraging strong partnerships between community colleges and universities to make it easier for nurses to transition to higher degrees.
In its groundbreaking 2010 report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended that 80 percent of the nursing workforce be prepared at the baccalaureate level or higher by the year 2020. Right now, about half the nurses in the United States have baccalaureate or higher degrees.
RWJF is helping advance recommendations in the IOM report by supporting the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action—a collaborative effort to advance solutions to challenges facing the nursing profession in order to improve quality and transform the way Americans receive health care. The Campaign supports Action Coalitions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

"We will hold the entire political class, including Government, accountable for not acting on people's issues"
Days after the Union Government rolled out cash transfer for subsidies and entitlements, Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sansthan activist and Sonia Gandhi-led National Advisory Council (NAC) member Aruna Roy said here on Friday that the advisory body was not taken into confidence before implementing the controversial policy decision.
Speaking on the final day of "Jan Sansad", a coalition of over 60 peoples' movement, Ms. Roy said the NAC had no say in implementing the targeted transfer of cash of subsidies. Referring to the diminished influence of the NAC in the Government's policy decision making process, she said: "These days there are lots of issues which do not come up before the NAC. The cash transfer of subsidies had not come before us. It (NAC) has become bureaucratic."
Talking to the media about the Government's "total ignorance" of public concerns over Bills on land rights, Dalit issues, labour reforms, child rights, gender discrimination, transparency and accountability, Ms. Roy said it cannot continue to do it for long. "The Government cannot wash its hands off through policies like cash transfers for social entitlements. We will struggle and protest for people's rights and interests at various levels. Let's see till when the Government ignores the people's movement. Sooner or later it has to accept our demands if not in full then the important ones."
Referring to the five-day common campaign by the Jan Sansad to bring to the attention of Parliament many issues awaiting legislative action, she released the "People's Manifesto" for the next general elections. "We want to make it very clear to all the political class, including the Government, that we will hold them accountable for not acting on people's issues," she added. The manifesto will be presented to the Government for appropriate action.
The manifesto demands pending legislations like the Lokpal, Grievance Redressal, Whistle Blower and the Judicial Accountability Bills be passed. On the issue of the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Bill, the manifesto demands that bank accounts not be made mandatory for getting the MNREGS account besides keeping UID out of the employment scheme.
The manifesto also opposes the recently introduced cash transfer of subsidies, calling it "an attempt by the Government to wash off its hands from the responsibility to provide basic services and social security to its citizens". Arguing that the scheme will have a "disastrous" impact on the lives of the marginalised who are dependent on the Public Distribution System (PDS) and other forms of entitlements in health and education, the manifesto demands immediate rollback of the move.
The manifesto strongly advocates amendments in the proposed Land Acquisition & Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2011. It proposes incorporation in the Bill of mandatory consent of a majority of Gram Sabha members on all matters pertaining to land acquisition.
Calling upon the Centre and the States to address the agrarian crisis with the highest urgency and priority, the manifesto demands a statutory permanent income commission for farmers with the mandate of implementing an income assurance for all farming community including small farmers, tenants and agricultural workers.
The manifesto specifically talks about the status of women in the country. "Being born a woman in this world is a curse and being born a Dalit woman is an even bigger curse. Women, irrespective of their class and caste, are easy targets of violence. Even the agencies responsible for protecting women are violating their rights."
It demands that the elected representatives pass the Bill on women's reservation without any dilution. It also demands stringent punishment for perpetrators of sexual assault, child sexual abuse and rape. It also demands release of all human rights activists who have been arrested while struggling for social and political justice on behalf of the marginalised.

The Bachelor Pad
What do you get when you take 21 very good-looking people and mix in a bunch of cameras, some alcohol, hot tubs and the chance to win $250,000? Bachelor Pad, of course.
Before Monday's premiere, we chatted with host Chris Harrison, who played a little game of word association with us and helped us size up the competition.
Michael Stagliano and Lindzi Cox
The new cast of ABC's Bachelor Pad has been announced, and it includes Season 2 winner Michael Stagliano, Ben Flajnik's runner-up Lindzi Cox, five "super fans" of the show and two rejects from Emily Maynard's current season of The Bachelorette.
Courtney Robertson
This season of The Bachelor had its share of wild dates, awkward kisses, tense fights, hilarious one-liners and, well, Courtney. To celebrate these momentous and somewhat cringe-worthy moments, finalists Jaclyn, Jenna and Rachel are counting down TVGuide.com's Top 5 moments from the season.
The ladies arrive in San Francisco where Ben meets up with his sister Julia to tell her about some of the women who have stood out. He mentions, Lindzi, Courtney — with whom he thinks his sis would hit it off — Kacie B. and that Jennifer is the best kisser so far. Apparently, he and his sister are ...
read more
It's Week 2 of The Bachelor and the women are off to Sonoma, Calif., to meet Ben in his hometown. While some of the women begin to form relationships with Ben, others continue their downward emotional spiral.
The first date card arrives at the house and it's for Kacie B. The others, of course, are jealous and Courtney even hopes she doesn't return. Ben arrives in his truck and takes her to explore his stomping grounds in downtown Sonoma. They head inside a café with a piano, and the two play a few chords before moving on to a candy shop. There, Kacie grabs a baton and shows off her twirling skills, which are impressive. Ben's twirling abilities? Not so much. They eventually land at dinner where Ben talks about returning to Sonoma after his father got sick. The conversation is easy. It's no surprise that Kacie gets a rose — and a kiss. And for an additional surprise Ben takes Kacie into a theater where a home video of her childhood — then his — is played.

Three Reasons for Decanting Wine
- Old wines that have been cellared properly will contain sediment due to the aging process. By properly decanting wine, the sediment will remain in the bottle.
- Decanting wine can benefit young full-bodied red wines. When the wine comes in contact with oxygen, the aromas present in the wine are released. The decanter in this case should be a wide bottomed decanter. Wide body decanters provide more surface area for oxygen to allow aromas from the wine to be released.
- The presentation of wine in a beautiful crystal decanter adds to the ambience of a beautifully set table and prepared dinner.
How to Decant Aged Wine
- For old wines with sediment one needs to be very diligent about pouring the wine into a decanter. First, stand the bottle up for several hours to allow the sediment to settle at the bottom. Fine sediment will take longer to settle to the bottom of the bottle.
- Use a lit candle or lamp. Hold the bottle of wine so that the area just below the neck of the wine bottle can be seen through the light while pouring. Ever so slowly begin pouring the aged wine into the decanter. Be patient. Hold the bottle as much as possible perpendicular to the candle. As the last one-third of the wine is poured, carefully watch for sediment. Stop pouring when any sediment appears in the neck of the bottle.
- Are you storing your wines properly? Check our brief description on how to properly store wine.
How to Decant Young Red Wine
- For young red wines, splash the wine into the decanter. The more it splashes into the decanter, the more it comes in contact with oxygen. Let the wine settle and rest for a short time.
An aerator that just might do the job
- This little cool gadget is a wine aerator plus strainer to remove sediment from older wines. It is called the Nuance Wine Finer and is made by a Danish company. There are two things to like about this device. First and foremost, it does the job of aerating and improving the flavor of the wine. Just don't take my word for it, Cooks Illustrated tested aerators and it was their favorite of five products they tested, including the popular Vinturi aerator. Secondly, it looks fabulous on a wine bottle. Some of the other aerators available that sit on top of the wine bottle make it look like you are running a science experiment. Amazon sells this device for around $30.

At least, out of the wreckage of Sunday, the 49ers learned one thing: They don't want to come back here until next season.
CenturyLink Field is the 49ers' own private nightmare, a kryptonite location where they become impotent and flustered, outmuscled and outcoached.
"We're certainly not proud of the way we played or coached," Jim Harbaugh said.
Sunday night's game was a disaster for the 49ers. It looked like a sad continuation of December's game, by far the worst the 49ers played last season, their worst performance since Mike Singletary was the head coach. Their effort in the 29-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday was in the same category: It didn't seem to belong to the same team that beat Green Bay a week earlier, to a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
Last week, Harbaugh said playoff implications should not be drawn from a Week 2 game, but the truth is this loss could mean a great deal in the postseason. The Seahawks now are in first place in the NFC West. They haven't lost a game at home since 2011. The rematch in December at Candlestick now probably becomes a must-win for the 49ers to avoid giving Seattle home-field advantage in the playoffs and a straight shot to the Super Bowl.
It was a humbling night for Harbaugh, who hasn't beaten nemesis Pete Carroll in his past two tries. CenturyLink is the first road stadium where Harbaugh has lost twice as an NFL coach. And Harbaugh couldn't find any way for his team to produce, even with an extra hour of preparation because of a delay caused by lightning strikes.
Oddly, the 49ers seem cursed to endure long delays in prime-time games. Unlike the Super Bowl delay in February or the Candlestick "Monday Night Football" delay in 2011, Sunday's wasn't the result of a power failure, but because of lightning storms. The game was stopped late in the first quarter and resumed an hour later.
But unlike the other delays - which seemed to help the 49ers - this one did nothing for the 49ers. If anything, they came out of the locker room looking worse and the Seattle defense returned to the field even more fired up. It forced turnovers and shut down the 49ers' offense, including magazine cover boy Colin Kaepernick, who had his worst game to date, throwing three interceptions and failing to get his team into the end zone.
"We're not going to win games if I play like that," Kaepernick said.
The Seattle crowd - the ultimate X factor when evaluating any matchup at CenturyLink - did its work. The fans were deafening, shaking the building, forcing the 49ers to call timeouts or false-start.
"They do a good job," Harbaugh said. "It's loud."
This was a heavyweight defensive matchup. The two budding superstar quarterbacks - Russell Wilson and Kaepernick - were nullified for most of the first half by outstanding defense. They could have shaved both eyebrows and no one would have noticed. The NFC Offensive Player of the Week, Anquan Boldin, was completely erased by cornerback Richard Sherman, held to one meaningless catch. It was a pure defensive standoff and for a time was reminiscent of the 49ers-New York Giants matchup on Monday night in 1990.
The 49ers' defense has swagger and considers itself the best in the league. But for now, it takes a backseat to Seattle's, which was absolutely punishing. While the 49ers struggled to get any yards, the Seahawks were able to grind out a running game, turning to Marshawn Lynch whenever the 49ers were in nickel coverage.
"The pundits and ignorant idiots thought the Seahawks were going to lose," Sherman said. "Please don't doubt us."
As the Seahawks crept ahead, first 2-0, then 5-0, then 12-0, the 49ers seemed to become unglued. They had 12 penalties for 121 yards, the second straight week of 100-plus yards in penalties. They made lamebrained mistakes that helped the Seahawks' cause such as when Aldon Smith slapped an opponent's head - it should be noted he did not come with the knuckles as Harbaugh had urged Clay Matthews to do last week to show his toughness.
"I think they were just frustrated," Sherman said. "Our guys did a great job of not reacting."
Harbaugh said, "We definitely made things harder on ourselves."
Carroll, in the happy aftermath, had praise for his rival.
"They're a very good team," he said. "They almost won the Super Bowl. He couldn't beat his brother."
Gracious, but only to a point.
The loss was damaging beyond divisional standings and pride. The 49ers lost nose tackle Ian Williams to what was reported to be a broken ankle, Eric Reid to a concussion and Vernon Davis to a hamstring injury. Ray McDonald also left the game with an injury.
Afterward in their locker room, the 49ers seemed shell-shocked. One loss could be an aberration. Two losses by a combined score of 71-16 is a trend, one that signals a shift of power in the NFC West.
Once again, the 49ers left the Emerald City licking their wounds, looking for answers. And the only thing they know for sure is that they don't want to come back here for a long, long time.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
This is a long overdue review. I was a loyal Kitchenaid customer until they cheapened their products to the point where they are indistinguishable from common brands. I WANT QUALITY. Tried the Miele thanks to reviews from this site. It is incredibly quiet. (Just a slight swishing sound, even right next to it.) The dishes come clean. Paid a hundred dollars more for the silverware rack above the glasses rack, and recommend it. Total cost was about $1100 dollars, and you can spend that much on lesser machines.
I installed it myself which isn't recommended by the company as it is a bit more complicated than you'd expect. But I got it done. We've had it for almost 2 trouble-free years now, so I have forgotten the particulars that made it a fussy install. I would say just allow 2 hours more than you would think for an installation, and maybe have to get $20 worth of parts from the hardware store.
Entirely stainless-steel inside is nice. Even the outside is completely encased so you don't have soft insulation flapping around during the install. The sides are extremely thin, which leaves more space for dishes. Yet - it is quiet. We didn't really need the built-in water softener, but you might.
The dealerships aren't allowed to discount these, BUT some of the warehouse stores offer free shipping which amounts to a left-handed discount. I bought it sight-unseen due to the reviews here, and recommend you do the same. Your credit-card payment offers you some negotiation leverage if you should need it. But our experience was flawless.
