Why No Executive Order To Stop NSA Metadata Collection? 312
from the if-the-president-does-it-it's-legal dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
if reforming the NSA is so obvious, why do Republicans in Congress oppose it?
Gee.. I wonder if the (R)'s don't have a hard-on to bring on the police-state as much as the democrats? I *used* to be a Republican, after about 1/2 way thru BushJr's second term, I got fed up with the shitting that BOTH parties are doing on the Constitution and dumped the R's.. I held my nose in 2008 and voted for McCain and gleefully voted for Romney in 2012... BUT the vast majority of Republicans nowadays are simply "Democrat-Lite".. They want to shit on the Constitution as much as the D's do... I'm beginning to wonder even about the new R's that came in back in the landslide of 2010, some of them seem to be eying the Constitution as toilet paper also.... Woe unto us...
He was a Senator, but couldn't point to a single legislative accomplishment. He was in the state senate, but had a record of just voting present on key bills and had no major bills to his name. He was a community organizer, but once again couldn't point to any significant accomplishments. He claims to be a legal scholar, but locked his school records.
He seems to have worked on the assumption that it was better to have no failures for which he could be blamed, rather than aiming for successes for which he could get credit.
In some people's minds, lack of failure is a surer measure of success, than attempting success (and possibly failing, thereby).
Not psychotic, sociopathic, a significant portion of politicians (and CEOs for that matter) are sociopaths.
Being from Chicago I've been suspicious of him since he was elected Senator. He literally came out of nowhere and his "victory" speech on the TV when the news showed the party at his headquarters showed a man who was quite different and far less polished than the man who was elected president. Someone groomed him for this.
The part I agree with is that I personally am not concerned whatsoever with the metadata. At all. And the only reason you see most of the media coverage is because folks don't understand what metadata is. If you polled the public right now you would largely find them believing the government is secretly recording and archiving all of our actual phone calls. They aren't.
Sorry, but metadata is all that is needed to invade privacy [techdirt.com], and they're collecting it on everyone. It's not okay, okay?
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I recently received a security deposit back (much lighter than I'd hoped!) and when I had called to question some of the charges (all of which, though scammy, were legitimate), the property manager informed me they had sent an amended claim, seeking another $490.
She claimed that the double paned glass doors, which were brand new, had been scratched by pets. She claimed that we must have therefore owned a pet and would be charged full replacement fees.
Here's the issue: We didn't own any pets. There are a number of feral cats around the neighborhood, but we neither owned them nor took care of them. In fact, we regularly shooed them from the premises.
I plan to dispute this ridiculous charge but, in the event that such an action fails, I plan to take it to small claims court.
My question is this: Do I have a case? If so, how do I go about proving that I am in no way responsible for any pet-related damages because I never, at any time, owned or took care of a pet? Basically, how do I prepare for this case?
2 Answers from Attorneys
First, if you are challenging the offset already taken, you will have no choice but to file the small claims action. It is the landlord's burden to prove damages related to your usage above normal wear and tear. It is your responsibility to respond to that proof. The proof would seem dependent on whether the scratches are beyond normal wear and tear and whether they are inside the doors rather than outside. Second, if you are only challenging their additional offset and they have already paid you the security deposit, it is up to them to file the case.
There is no such thing as a "claim" for an additional damage that is enforceable- without more. And my comments here assume that your landlord has already taken all of your security deposit.
The landlord would have to bring a small claims court case (5K or below). Watch out for the deadlines in such an event. There are countless defaults entered against current or prior tenants because they don't read the summons that accompanies the small claims petition (complaint) and miss critical deadlines.
Your former landlord also has to show more than normal wear and tear (which might require expert testimony).
They also have to provide estimates for the judge or jury, but the person or company that does an estimate has to be in the court room. Otherwise testimony about a written estimate is inadmissible hearsay.
Further, on your side of the calculus, is the fact that you really are the only one who can testify about pets or feral animals. How would the landlord know? (as you said)
However- and this is always very important in any law suit. You run a risk if you elect to fight and might have to pay the landlord's attorney's fees and court costs if you loose. And, sometimes even when the facts are 100% in your favor and the law is, as well, a judge or jury might rule against you. And don't overlook the hassle of a lawsuit and the fact you might even have to take time off from work, which your boss will not appreciate (unless of course you are your own boss).
I would write the prior landlord, say you disagree, ask for a written estimate, ask for a statement by a service company that full replacement is the only option, then I would offer say $50.00 to settle the matter- letting them know you will not pay any more than that (of course, and it is up to you, you could offer $75.00 or $100.00 to be done with the matter). Litigation provides little certainty. That is why almost every dispute is settled. If you settle you will want a general release. Nothing fancy. Signed by everyone and saying all disputes between former tenant(s) and former landlord are settled and the parties release all current and future claims against the other.
This is not a legal opinion. To obtain a legal opinion you should formally engage an attorney or talk to your local Legal Services attorneys. In summary, all the lofty academic aspects of the law are wonderful- but the law and facts often do not carry the day.

This was one of my top 3 WORST experiences with a hotel. The desk was rude, we were stuck in a smoking room, the complimentary breakfast was a plastic wrapped donut,and the bed was VERY old. There appeared to be some residents here and I am 90% sure a drug deal occurred in the room right next to ours at about 6am the morning of check out. We woke to someone pounding on the next room's door, in for a minute, someone conversation and joking and then the person left. The room entries all access the parking lot but we had to park on the opposite side of the building which didn't exactly make us feel comfortable considering our experience. I booked this hotel as we were looking for something reasonably priced for a one night stay for my grandfather's calling hours and then funeral the following day. I read the reviews and they were decent. The place was rated 8/10 and was AAA approved. I left thinking that some employees must have written the reviews and that AAA might need to re-establish their code for approval or perhaps make an unannounced visit to see if they truly still do approve. I would STRONGLY recommend staying elsewhere. ...

So the Human found this in her drawer of Things from Long Ago. Who knew her very own quiet little Mama actually wrote the letter that produced this response from her very own congressman? Well, actually, the Human *did* know that her sweet Mommy used a lot of HBO words about our 37th president. Just for the record, Congressman Moss did not have me on his official stationery, but I think I improve it, don't you?

TBT: At the Movies
The Human came across this in an archaeological dig through a drawer she rarely visits. Evidently her mother, who would have been 18 at the time, deemed it worth saving and apparently the Human has been too l-a-z-y to clean out a random drawer full of
junk treasures.
Postage was a penny, & the movie 30 cents for adults and a dime for kids. Of course, the average hourly wage was about 50 cents in 1936, so it took about two hours to earn enough to take the family to the show.

Practicing My Footie Positions
Sweet Summer reminded us yesterday of the impawtance of paw-placement in achieving The Cute.

Oh Spitty, Spitty!
Wherefore art thou Spitty?
Nor arm, nor tailio, nor any other part
Belonging to a ManCat. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call The Nip
By any other name would smell as divine;
So Spitty would, were he not Spitty call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title.

A couple who were attacked by samurai sword-wielding neighbours in their Marylebone home are outraged after the pair walked free from court.
Madeline and Simon Korn said they were "disgusted" after Mrs Freddie Booker-Carson was given an absolute discharge after admitting common assault.
Mrs Booker-Carson's husband, Simon, was earlier given a suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm after he attacked Mr Korn in October last year.
A former JC reporter has been cleared of assaulting her neighbour in an argument over her children's football.
Susannah Marmot, 42, was found not guilty at the Old Bailey after just half an hour of jury deliberations. She faced one charge of actual bodily harm.
Mrs Marmot, of Edgware, north west London, was accused of attacking George Louka and leaving him needing 10 stitches following a row outside their homes in October last year. He had confiscated a ball belonging to the children after it rolled into his garden.
A series of alledged antisemitic attacks are being investigated by police in a Welsh seaside town where strictly Orthodox Jews were on holiday.
Officers in Aberystwyth responded to reports of swastikas painted on grass and sheets of paper daubed with the Nazi symbol being scattered near a student village where dozens of Chasidic Jews were staying.
But Dyfed-Powys police said they had found no evidence of the grass incident and had received no complaints from the Jewish visitors.
A row has broken out after a senior Reform rabbi publicly attacked two high-profile Progressive colleagues over comments made about Israel.
Rabbi Steven Katz, senior minister at Hendon Reform Synagogue, spoke out after the JC published the opinions of prominent British Jews on the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to Britain later this month.
A call for food retailers to boycott all Israeli goods has been condemned by the Israeli ambassador and anti-boycott campaigners.
In an article for trade magazine The Grocer this week, prominent food writer Joanna Blythman calls on retailers and importers "actively to look for alternatives to so-called Israeli produce".
Ivan Lewis, the Middle East minister, has asked the Palestinian leadership for help in securing the release of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
Making his first visit to Israel and the territories since taking up his Foreign Office post in June, Mr Lewis spent four days in the region. The trip followed a visit to Syria and Lebanon earlier this month.
Mr Lewis, MP for Bury South, a former vice-chairman of Labour Friends of Israel and chief executive of the Manchester Jewish Federation, said his aim was to help realise the goal of a two-state solution.
Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi is to be released from jail on compassionate grounds.
The decision comes 24 hours after the parents of Jewish victim Marc Tager said such a move would be "ridiculous".
Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill today rejected a prisoner transfer request which would have seen al-Megrahi serve the rest of his sentence in his home country.
But he agreed to the release on grounds of al-Megrahi suffering from terminal prostate cancer.
The executive of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Congregation has postponed a disciplinary hearing for the rabbi of Bevis Marks Synagogue in the East End of London because he is understood to be on sick leave.
Rabbi Natan Asmoucha received a final warning after a first hearing two weeks ago when the mahamad (executive) said he had taken part without authorisation in an interfaith demonstration against high bank interest rates last month.
A Jewish family say they are being tormented by antisemitic abuse and harassment from a family of nine travellers living next door at taxpayers' expense.
Jeremy and Hannah Kaye, an administrator for the Hanoar Hatzioni youth group, and their sons Jamie and Charlie, say they have been taunted with shouts of "Yids, Yids" and had glass jars and sacks of rubbish thrown at their home.
An online comedy about a group of Muslim suicide bombers in Britain could cause "gratuitous offence", the chief executive of the Board of Deputies has warned.
Living with the Infidels, a sitcom which was launched on the web on Thursday, centres on a Bradford-based terror cell who are "set on a path to martyrdom" but are tempted by football, the pub and busty women.
The production company, The System Predicts, led by film-maker Aasaf Ainapore, claim the series has been made with the support of a senior, though unnamed, member of the Muslim Council of Britain.

No there pop off but for some reason the caps don't fit. Sorry that was pretty vague.
They are a pain, and the labels don't come off that easily either.
Try Sierra Nevada. Those are the bottles that I prefer.
mine capped just as easily as my purchased bottles.. I didn't bother taking the labels off as I only used 3-4 bottles for the "early samples"
I've used them with no problems. They seemed to go on differently, but they sealed fine.
I've got a few Amstel Light bottles in my rotation. They never feel like they cap right, but I've never had one fail to carbonate. If you've already gone to the trouble to clean and peel the labels, go ahead and use them.

I guess it's hit or miss with amstel, cause I can get the labels off easy as f*** but the capping, ehhhhh not so much.

jewelweed;touch-me-not(impatiens capensis)(I. paiilda)
lady_6(z6 KY)January 22, 2009
My question is if you gather these freeze or make a tea of them and freeze, will they still stop the itch of poison- ivy?
Hi. You can also dry jewelweed-- I. capensis seems to work better this way than I. palida. That way you'll have it when you least expect to need it. For fresh plant or dried, I simmer the herb (a two-handed handful for fresh, a good palmful of dried) in about 2 quarts water for about 20 minutes, then cool & freeze the tea in cubes, but I also throw it in a spray bottle & keep it in the fridge, & it feels soooo good.

History of Murchison Falls & the ParkTuesday, August 23rd, 2011
"The fall of the water was white as snow, a superb effect which contrasted with the dark cliffs that acted as walls to the river, With palms of the tropics and wild plantains giving the Murchison falls a more beautiful view", This was indeed the greatest waterfall of the River Nile and in honor of the distinguished President of the Royal Geographical society, Sir Samuel Baker named it the "Murchison Falls".
The source of the River Nile had for many years plagued the minds of Great empires, near and distant sailors who had previously searched and failed to find the exact source. However, in 1863 Explorer Samuel Baker and his wife Florence Baker set off from Khartoum with over 96 men, camels and horses in search of the unknown "Source of the Nile"
The Bakers journey along the Nile was not an easy one and any modern day tour guide with a phone and 4-by-4 safari car would wonder how Samuel Baker, his wife and the caravan moved and discovered the falls. The Nile was dominated by Ivory traders who were always in conflict with any one they met across the their trade route but this never deterred the Bakers who finally came across one of the most beautiful views , the Murchison falls as they were later named by Baker were just right in front of their very own eyes. "Beautiful, Sensational, Magnificent, Extra terrestrial, breath taking", must have been some of the words they used as they are still being used by most tourists who visit the falls for the first time.
Although Baker is credited with discovering Murchison Falls , he paved way to migrations of some local tribes which were not in good terms with the whites that increased in numbers as the falls got more exposure to the whole world and in 1952 the Murchison falls national park was named.
Migrations and Local People
The Luo (also called Lwo, ) ethnic group was the largest decentralized society to occupy the north western part of Murchison falls but around the 1500s, the group had some internal conflicts that led to a war between the three brothers Gypir, Labongo and Teffil who were all chiefs(leader of a clan) leading to the separation of the group at a famous place known as Pubungu or Puvungu. The followers of Gypir stayed north of the water falls as Labongo and his followers migrated to the east and the Teffil followers migarated to the west.
These areas are still occupied by the local luo speaking tribes and the southern part of the park is occupied by the present day Banyoro tribe which has its origins attached to the famous Abachwezi, Ababito, Abatembuzi dynasties. These dynasties had their roots attached to the Bantu ethnic group which was the largest ethnic group to enter Uganda and they formed the Bunyoro kitara kingdom. The bachwezi were mainly farmers and blacksmiths but the whereabouts of this ancient kingdom are still unknown.
Ivory Trade & Elephants
Ivory trade was the biggest and most prosperous trade business after Slave trade during the 18th and 19th centuries. Traders from all corners of Africa would travel long distances to harvest Elephant horns, rhino horns and slaves from the targeted regions which included Murchison falls which had the largest population of elephants than any part of Africa and although the British empire tried to stop Slave trade, ivory trade still continued to prosper since the British imperialists needed ivory revenue to administer the newly colonized regions in Uganda.
The Elephant Control Department came to the rescue in 1925 but its first aim was to allow controlled and restricted hunting and removal of the very large populations that had inhabited the Budongo forest. At that time, the populations of the elephants were massively increasing that the department decided to carry out culling (process of selectively slaughtering a population of wild animals with an aim of reducing the number of the particular specie targeted) and in 1965 around April, a team slaughtered up to 2000 elephants from the over 14000 elephants which had inhabited the park but there were still many in number that they were beginning to destroy their very own inhabitants and other animals inhabitants.
With time, civil conflicts devastated the wildlife of Murchison falls national park. Idi Amin closed the gates of Murchison falls national park and renamed Kabalega Falls National park after the King of Bunyoro, Omukama Kabalega I and with the park under control of Idi Amin , His troops started to poach the wild animals most especially the elephants for both meat , horns and skins but this was just the beginning as all hell broke lose after the fall of Idi as the troops decided to return back to their homeland in west nile north of the park and as they moved through the park, the exploited all kinds of resources including the wild animals and trees and to worsen things the Tanzanian troops were after the Idi troops and they also poached the wildlife using all kinds of heavy and modern artillery like AK 47 guns, bombs among other war weapons which left Murchison falls park in total devastation and by the end of these conflicts and poaching, they were only 200 Elephants remaining in Murchison falls national park.
Presently, communities that were formally displaced by the wars are returning to settle along the northern boundary of the park, more tourist and travelers are visiting the park yearly and as the elephant's population is increasing every year, it's safe to say that Murchison falls has regained its popularity and stability socially and economically. They are currently seven ethnic groups within the current six districts bordering the Murchison falls conservation area and one very notable district is Buliisa where our very own Ugandan based non governmental organization Soft Power Education SPE is help build the district by constructing schools with the help of the Leeds University Students who fly in Uganda annually to help promote this cause.
Note: As elephants regain their numbers in the park, it's important not to underestimate the role that humans play in the stability of wildlife.

Tiote avoids jail for fake license
NEWCASTLE, England (AP)
Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote has been given a suspended jail sentence after admitting to possessing a fake driving license.
Check out which clubs are on the move in our Club Power Rankings.
The Ivory Coast international was handed a seven-month sentence, suspended for 18 months, by a judge at Newcastle Crown Court on Monday.
Tiote bought a fake Belgian license when traveling through Belgium for 15,000 euros ($20,700) and then attempted to swap the forgery for a full British license.
Judge James Goss told Tiote that he would have to complete 180 hours of unpaid work.
Goss says ''using your considerable talent, you will be able to assist others in the community by encouraging them and passing on your skills that way.''

If memory servies me, in R there is a data type called factor which when used within a DataFrame can be automatically unpacked into the necessary columns of a regression design matrix. For example, a factor containing True/False/Maybe values would be transformed into:
1 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 1
for the purpose of using lower level regression code. Is there a way to achieve something similar using the pandas library? I see that there is some regression support within Pandas, but since I have my own customised regression routines I am really interested in the construction of the design matrix (a 2d numpy array or matrix) from heterogeneous data with support for mapping back and fort between columns of the numpy object and the Pandas DataFrame from which it is derived.
Update: Here is an example of a data matrix with heterogeneous data of the sort I am thinking of (the example comes from the Pandas manual):
>>> df2 = DataFrame({'a' : ['one', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'two', 'one', 'six'],'b' : ['x', 'y', 'y', 'x', 'y', 'x', 'x'],'c' : np.random.randn(7)})
>>> df2
a b c
0 one x 0.000343
1 one y -0.055651
2 two y 0.249194
3 three x -1.486462
4 two y -0.406930
5 one x -0.223973
6 six x -0.189001
The 'a' column should be converted into 4 floating point columns (in spite of the meaning, there are only four unique atoms), the 'b' column can be converted to a single floating point column, and the 'c' column should be an unmodified final column in the design matrix.

Fans of "Fifty Shades of Grey" have yet another actress who could play the lead role of Anastasia Steele in the highly-anticipated film adaptation.
Ditching the pale look and blonde hair, Nikki Reed of "Twilight" has expressed interest in the BDSM-themed film. Given Reed's closeness with "Fifty Shades" producer, Dana Brunetti, will Nikki Reed be the Anastasia Steele fans have been searching for?
E.L. James best-selling erotica novel continues dance in the limelight. In fact, a lot of readers are hooked by the novels and have joined the bandwagon of fans searching for suitable actors and actresses fit for the lead roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
In a lot of web polls, Ian Somerhalder is the fan favourite for the role of 27-year old entrepreneur, Christian Grey. As for the role of Ana, Alexis Bledel continuously ranks one in a lot of fan-made polls. Other fan favourites for the lead roles include Matt Bomer, Henry Cavill, Emilia Clarke and Felicity Jones.
Despite E.L. James announcement that Stewart and Pattinson would not be in the film adaptation, some fans of "Fifty" still insist that Kristen and Robert have a chance at nabbing the role. Yet, it looks as Kristen Stewart has her work cut out for her with the latest competition from "Twilight" co-star, Nikki Reed.
Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Cullen in "Twilight", has expressed interest in the role of Anastasia Steele. The actress has a big chance at getting the role given Nikki is "good" friends with "Fifty Shades of Grey" producer, Dana Brunetti.
"I love Dana I've known Dana since I was 15-years-old," said Nikki, adding, "I formed a very close bond with Dana and Dana's wife, and I've lived with them off and on and they're like my brother and sister so I speak to them daily, and I can't wait to watch where this [Fifty Shades of Grey] goes."
So would the "Twilight" star ever consider starring in the racy film?
"I would consider working with Dana in any form," explained Nikki.
Well, that statement settles it. Would "Fifty Shades" fans agree that Nikki Reed play the 22-year old virginal college student, Anastasia Steele? Check out the slideshow to see more of Nikki Reed.

I have an ACS, an STR, the standard collapsible, and an A2. Four different rifles. The STR is my fav, but the ACS has a pocket that will carry the coin batteries for the scope on that gun, the A2 is on a full length rifle, and the standard collapsible is on a carbine gas action strictly for size and weight. The "right" stock seems to depend on the rest of the rifle and its purpose, I've swapped uppers and put the ASC on my rifle but it just doesn't seem to fit as well as the A2. So look hard at your piece, scratch your head and in this market you can always sell your mistakes.

KINGSTON — Wyoming Valley West School Board Member Attorney John Gill contends that, while the district did lose money by withdrawing from the West Side Career and Technology Center, the board wasn't "wasting" more than $1.1 million, as a report from the state auditor general's office claimed.
The audit report noted when the district refused to sign a letter of agreement with the center it withdrew from the Joint Operating Committee that runs the center. As a result, the district paid a higher non-member tuition per pupil until it decided to sign the letter two years later. The total extra cost was $1.15 million.
Gill said the math is probably right, but argued that the money didn't just disappear. "That money went into a growing reserve that was at the center when we went back," he said. "As that money is used, it benefits our students."
Gill, who is currently chairman of the JOC, also noted that the school changed it's admission policies after Wyoming Valley West withdrew, and that prompted a sharp increase in enrollment, which further drove up costs for the district as more students enrolled at the center.
The auditor general's decision not to recommend any punitive action or attempt to recoup the money also supports the argument that it wasn't wasted, Gill said. The matter was raised in a "compliance audit" that otherwise found no problems with Valley West's books for the years reviewed, from November 2009 to November 2012. The state does such audits periodically to assure school districts are meeting state and federal laws.
The issue was raised in the audit report as an "observation" that was "unrelated to compliance." While the auditor general's office does not take action itself when it finds non-compliance issues in a district, it can and does make recommend actions to other state offices, such as the department of education or attorney general.
The audit report does recommend the district "ensure that decisions about increasing expenditures are only made after a thorough examination of the potential consequences" and "Consider the taxpayers' expectations that their money will be used wisely."
West Side Administrative Director Nancy Tkatch, who assumed that post after Valley West's withdrawal and return to the JOC, said the center's business manager was not available Friday and that she could not verify Gill's argument about what happened to the $1.1 million, but she said it is logical that it would have ultimately benefited Valley West students.
"I think the lesson learned is that when you have articles of agreement in place for a career and technology center it's vital to follow what they say," Tkatch said. "Those articles have been approved by the state."

DW: Top of the line Bosch vs. Entry-level Miele?
Hello! So what would you do if you were faced with the following conundrum--a good local appliance store selling the following:
In the left corner: a stainless Bosch SHE8ER55UC, last year's model which retailed for around $1500 but they apparently bought too many of and people aren't buying because it doesn't have hidden controls (this is a high-end foo-foo appliance store). So now it's on sale for $899. Adding a 5-yr warranty would be $189, so total $1088. It has a cutlery tray and a half-load option. It says it operates at 40 dB.
In the right corner: a stainless Miele G4225SCSS, which like all Mieles is never on sale but retails for $1099. Adding a 5-year warranty would be $239 because the store charges more for warranties when the cost of the appliance is over $1000, so total $1338. It has a cutlery tray but does not have a half-load option. This being a Miele, they won't tell you how many actual decibels it is, but it has "Q1 acoustics"--in other words it's the loudest available Miele. I have read that Q1 means somewhere between 50-55dB but I don't know if that's true. If so it's a huge difference.
What to do??? Are Mieles so rock-solid, or are Bosches so unreliable by comparison, that it's worth the extra $250? Or alternately, do Mieles just clean and dry better? It annoys me to have to take dishes out of the DW just to put them in a dish rack to dry, and also annoys me to have to handwash dishes that I just washed in the DW, so if one of these DW's is a particularly excellent performer that would be good to know. And finally, does Q1 acoustics really mean 50-55dB?
I would suggest posting on the appliances forum. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people there. I think the Miele model you posted is called Miele futura classic.
On a personal note, I installed a Miele older show floor model with no warranty. The price was right and I do not regret it. It is by far the best dishwasher I have ever used and I am thankful every night as it saves us 15-20 mins as the loading is so fast.. Just scrape and load. No rinsing or prewashing like my old GE. Can't speak for Bosch.
I have a Miele entry level, 10 years old. I love it and it's very quiet. I am contemplating whether to keep my current DW in my upcoming reno, or replace it with another Miele, so I've been looking at their website lately. On the mieleusa.com site, that particular model is listed at 46dB. I think anything under 50 is really quiet?
Some dishwashers (newer ones I think) on the Miele site are described in terms of "dBA"--but that's not the same as dB. Every other dishwasher on earth is described in terms of decibels (dB) but Miele has its Q1/Q2 etc. system and sometimes also uses "dBA," which are weighted decibels--I looked it up and the dBA system counts sound differently depending on whether it's low or high frequency. Very low-frequency sounds "count" less, making the overall number smaller, allegedly because people don't hear low-frequency sounds as well or aren't bothered by them or something.
So knowing it's 46dBA is kind of helpful--itcertainly indicates it's not loud--but it's not apples to apples when you compare it to something that's just listed in dB.
I have a floor model Miele. I don't know (from here on the couch!) what model it is. But it is at least 12 years old. Have never had an issue with it and it cleans great. Occasionally have to put the random peanut butter knife back in, but we don't rinse at all. It is really quiet--we sometimes don't know it is running.
I would skip the extended warranty. But, I always do!
Hmm, maybe it does make sense to ditch the warranty in the case of a Miele. If it's a lemon it's covered under the manufacturer's warranty, so the extended warranty would be just for when it breaks due to wear and tear... which shouldn't be for a good long time, in case of a Miele. My concern there, I guess, would be with how expensive parts might be, since they're not made in the US.
I would consider ditching the warranty with a Miele, but not with a Bosch. Is that reasonable?
I have the middle of the road Miele and have had it now for about 4 years. It is so quiet I never know it is running. Love it! My 2 sisters also have Miele and wouldn't have anything else. They have had theirs for a number of years now and never had any problems. My girlfriend has a Bosch and has had a few service calls, but she seems happy with it and it is also quiet. I don't know if this helps at all but I think either one of them would be fine.
I wouldn't worry about the decibel rating of the Miele. At most you'll hear an occasional noise. They are also designed to last 20 or more years, and they sell enough of them not to worry about parts availability.
In 18 months with mine, I've had to rewash things 2 or 3 times, and that was due to poor loading technique. They don't have heated dry, so expect your plastics and tops of your glasses to be wet.
We were looking at a Bosch 800 Series Plus vs. the lowest price Miele (forgot the model). What decided it for us was the manufacturer's warranty. The Bosch was 3 yrs vs. 1 yr for the Miele. The Miele warranty also requires you to have a certified technician install it. Bosch does not have that requirement. I like to DIY as much a possible, so that would have been an added cost for the Miele, which was already more expensive than the Bosch. So, the choice was a more expensive dishwasher with a poorer warranty (Miele) or one that was less expensive with a better warranty (Bosch). That was a no brainer of a decision for us, as both were rated very well by consumers. Install of the Bosch was a breeze and we have been very happy with how it cleans.
This post was edited by gpraceman on Fri, Oct 18, 13 at 19:19
I recently faced the same choice. I hated the idea of spending so much money on a dishwasher. I went and looked at both often and ultimately, the racks on the Bosch didn't seem nearly as well made (I kind of broke one little piece on one :/ .....) and I actually found and exposed rusted part on one near the cutlery basket (looked like a manufacturing defect on that one). I then found a Miele Dimension Plus floor model and grabbed it. It was more than the Bosch, but I couldn't be happier. I guess the question I would ask you is: For your needs are the additional washes and slightly lower decimals more important that better quality racking and ultimately build IMO. Take your plates and load them in each model and take your time and see what feels right. It's a touch choice, but in the end they are both good top of the line machines. HTH.
I hope you bought a Miele. I have had a Miele classic model for 18 years without any problems or repairs whatsoever! They build them to last at least 20 years. Quality to last is what their company is about. It is a no brainer. I am needing to buy one for another house and it will be a Miele.
Regarding dB vs dBA, dB and dBA are synonymous for this application.
dBA is sound energy weighted for humans, so it only includes energy in frequencies that humans can hear. The only other common acoustic dB measurement is dBC, which is unweighted. That is, dBC it includes all frequencies with equal weight, even those that humans can't hear.
Since the vast majority of published dB specs are wrt affects on humans, the "A" in dBA is implied. dBC is only used for sensitive instruments and machines, and dBC is always greater than dBA.

"I wouldn't say that. The economic boom is all over..." - I agree, everybody I know says it is easier to live every day life (the traffic boom here in the city will be 'splayn i't'y'all)
"All California's gotten from the economic boom is huge inflation." - It's about time they pay extra for the extra ego pollution (ducking from Bridget96 emoticon)
"Gee, Reaganomics took a few years to start helping the economy" - don't get me started on that fallacy... how much do YOU (the current collective YOU) expect to pay for 8 years of college (inflation my, but).
People are moving to warmer climates to escape the inflated gas prices that the Gas profiteers are used to because of Reaganomics... ... aside from this issue, is it not mainly the major metro's that are enjoying economic boom in the south and not the rural remainder?

"Gee, Reaganomics took a few years to start helping the economy" - don't get me started on that fallacy...
Any economist or historian would tell you that "Reaganomics" is an effective way of improving the economy. It's like a train engine that takes a while to get started, but then gets rolling along. Reagan's economic policies are what caused the successes of the '90s. Clinton was intelligent and didn't mess with it and then took all the credit.
As for Reagan creating the current national debt, it was a very effective method of crippling the Russians and ending the Cold War. Half of the reason the debt skyrocketed was because he had a Democratic congress that insisted of spending so much money on other issues while lowering taxes. (We often don't give the Congress enough credit when they're usually responsible for the state of the nation.)
(And Reaganomics is just the supply-side economics started by Alexander Hamilton, who just happens to be one of the only two non-presidents on US paper currency.)

Given the subjectivity intrinsic to those disciplines, one could always find a practitioner of either or both to say whatever one wished to hear. The one thing that can be said with certainty is that economists and historians are truly ayleurs, in the acronymic sense of the word.

My comment was of a personal nature based upon my experience of education costs doubling when the decision was made that certain grants were a "waste of money"!
Perpetuating the illusion that supporting only supply side economics is a good thing (ie, promoting commmercial goods to a point that they becomes consumables) builds a "false economy", or, more specifically, a specific view of economics... which brings us to politics. Talk to hand here - and me privately.
JazzO, funny how you answer a comment with a after it faster than one with a question mark.

I am unable to understand the justification for college yearly tuition jumping from $400 in 1935 to $20,000 today.
The latter figure is hearsay, but I think it is nearly that.At least I have not deliberately exaggerated.

Interesting! There must be a word for this!
My exageration was not intended, though understandably deduced. My tuition rates actually doubled the year after I lost the aforesaid grant (effecting (useage?) an even larger proportion)!
Perception is reality?

college yearly tuition jumping from $400 in 1935 to $20,000 today.
I can't say much about the price for college in 1935 because it was some 50 years before I was born, but the public university that I'll be attending next year is about $5,500 per year for tuition. Room and board, tuition, books, etc. is a total of $60,000 over four years. (That's how much they give for their full scholarship, which I wouldn't mind receiving. ) I think part of the reason for the soaring price of college is that more people want to go and everyone is realizing how valuable a college education is in the current job market.
And musick, there wasn't a after the main comment that I replied to. But about the question marked statement, I think it's obvious that the economic boom is happening mainly in the 'burbs around the big cities. The inner cities aren't doing too well. The city of Cincinnati, for one, had a population decrease of around 30,000 over the last 10 years, while the suburbs are doing well. Good ol' urban sprawl.

cost increases
The first thing you need to keep in mind is the increase in the cost of living and the decline in the value of money. In 1935, when my parents graduated from high school, my father went to work for $14 per week and that wasn't bad money for a single man. You could raise a family on $25 per week if you were frugal. A pair of Florsheim shoes cost $7.50; a good suit was $25.00; a new Chevrolet was $650; a small row house was $2000 to $4000.
As late as 1957, when I started college, $50 a week was not a bad salary and you could certainly live on it. In my first 2 years, I paid $600 per semester tuition; room and meals was another $300, books came to about $50 (a book costing $10 was high priced). By the time I graduated, in 1961, it had gone up about $100 per year. Now, the tuition at Johns Hopkins is, I believe, about $22,000 per year for an undergraduate.

Runs too big Rated: 2/5
Looks good, but was way too big - especially in the lower body. I was looking for a spring skiing layer, but this fleece was too bulky / big to do that comfortably. I ordered a small, so I can't size down!
