First Chapter
'A Look Over My Shoulder'
By RICHARD HELMS and WILLIAM HOOD
Published: May 4, 2003
The telephone call that set in motion the events that would eventually end my intelligence career came as I was preparing for bed, Saturday, June 17, 1972.
"Dick, are you still up?"
"Yes, Howard." It was a familiar voice. At this time of night, Howard Osborn, the CIA chief of security, did not need to identify himself.
"I've just learned that the District police have picked up five men in a break-in at the Democratic Party National Headquarters at the Watergate."
"Yes." Osborn was not given to idle chatter. He obviously had a brick to drop.
"Four Cubans and Jim McCord."
"McCord? Retired out of your shop?"
Osborn drew a deep breath. "Two years ago."
I remembered James McCord as a serious, straitlaced staff security and counter-audio specialist. He had retired with a good record. I was baffled. "What about the Cubans-Miami or Havana?"
"Miami," Osborn said quickly. "Florida . . . exiles, they've been in this country for some time now."
"Do we know them?"
"As of now, I can't say."
"Get hold of the operations people, first thing. Have them get on to Miami. Check every record here and in Miami."
"Okay, first thing tomorrow."
"Is that all of it?"
"No, not half," Osborn said heavily. "Howard Hunt also seems to be involved in some way."
It was my turn for a deep breath. I knew that Hunt, a former CIA officer, was also retired. Marine Lieutenant General Robert E. Cushman, my deputy, had mentioned a year or so previously that he'd been told Hunt was employed at the White House as a security consultant, and involved with the Special Investigations group responsible for looking into security leaks. This was the outfit that became known as the "Plumbers." While with CIA, Hunt had worked in Latin America, Mexico, and Europe. Before his retirement, he served with the task force responsible for the Bay of Pigs operation.
"What in hell were they doing in the Democratic Party offices?"
Osborn paused, almost as if he couldn't quite believe what he was about to say. "I'm not sure what they were doing, but as of now it looks as if they might have been trying to tap the phones and bug the place."
It was a moment before I could say, "Is there any indication that we could be involved in this?"
"None whatsoever," Osborn replied.
"Stay on top of it," I said, "and see me before the staff meeting Monday morning." Despite occasional taunts from congressional members and the press, CIA was a highly disciplined organization. Before Admiral Rufus Taylor gave up his assignment as CIA deputy director to return to the Navy, he remarked that the Agency was "the most disciplined organization" in which he had ever served, "including the U.S. Navy." The notion that the Agency or anyone in it would undertake a caper as bizarre as the break-in and attempted bugging of a national political party was quite simply preposterous.
Still sitting on the edge of the bed, I decided to telephone Patrick Gray, who was acting FBI director while waiting for Senate approval. He'd not had time to gain much knowledge of the internal White House workings, and I wanted to be sure he was in the picture. It took a few more minutes than usual for the ever-efficient White House switchboard to locate Gray in a Los Angeles hotel room.
Gray said that he had been informed of the break-in, but had no details. I filled him in as much as I could and assured him that, despite the background of the apparent perpetrators, CIA had nothing to do with the break-in. I added that I couldn't imagine what anyone could hope to gain by breaking into those offices. Gray listened politely but had little to say.
"You might want to look into the relationship of John Ehrlichman, the President's domestic policy advisor, with McCord and Hunt," I said. "He'll be familiar with the circumstances in which Howard Hunt was hired for work at the White House and with McCord's job on the Committee to Re-elect the President as well." Gray remained unresponsive. After repeating my assurance that CIA was not involved with any of the break-in group, I put the phone down.
When I first heard that Hunt was working as a security consultant at the White House, it struck me as peculiar that no one there had called to verify with me or the Agency his career and reputation. As a matter of common practice, someone would have checked with us-officially or quietly-before hiring any former employee for a sensitive White House job.
The first time the Agency heard from Hunt in his new job was in July 1971 when Ehrlichman telephoned my deputy, General Cushman, to tell him that Hunt would be coming to see him for assistance. Hunt arrived a few days later and asked the general to supply some operational gear-a disguise wig, a voice-altering device, and false personal-identification documents. Cushman did so, and requested that the gear be returned after use.
The decision to supply the equipment might be interpreted as falling within the deputy director of Central Intelligence's area of responsibility, but it was a very close call. As Bob later remarked, he wished he had at the outset left the baby at my doorstep. By the time the break-in scandal was in full flower, it was too late for any Monday-morning quarterbacking on my part.

Quality of Pari Asan Pedas dropped, I can't even say it's "okay" so I guess you guess know how bad it is. Not worth at all.

Consider the best beef noodle that I ever ate.
Horrible service. They don't treat you as customer at all 😒
Don't ever order their ramen, the soup base is over salty and don't expect too much from it. Sorry for being too honest, their noodle's texture its like instant noodle.
Not worth to try,nothing special. Cheese Lava Beef,the petites not enough season.Hard to eat due to their plate is small.Honey Lemon it's tasteless;no honey &lemon taste.Just don't judge by its cover!
Friendly advice: not worth to come. The waiter don't know what kind of cakes they are selling. I have to walk in to the counter and check myself. Zzzz.. Bad service..
People who come here to visit seriously have to order their bread (roti bakar/ roti kukus/ roti telur)
Seriously this restaurant "okay" only, just like eating in KL dai cao hawker stall. Just only the seafood is bigger size compare to KL. Lol people pls don't over rated.
The restaurant might look like "so so only" but the Spicy Chicken Ramen & Beef Ramen's soup base it's nice and too many meat :B okay lahhhhh.. Not that bad.
Taste really good. People are queueing up to buy, most of them buy at lease 2 boxes.

If the Undersigned fails to endorse or assign to Lender Ver 1 2 any items of payment received by the Undersigned on account of the Junior Debt, the Undersigned hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as the Undersigned's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact, to make such endorsement or assignment in the Undersigned's name; and (F) agrees that it shall not modify or amend any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or securing the Junior Debt, including without limitation the Junior Debt Instruments, without the prior written consent of Lender. The Undersigned represents and warrants to Lender that the Undersigned has not assigned or otherwise transferred the Junior Debt or the Undersigned's Collateral, or any interest therein to any person or entity, that the Undersigned will make no such assignment or other transfer thereof, and that all agreements, instruments and documents evidencing the Junior Debt and the Undersigned's Collateral will be endorsed with proper notice of this Agreement. The Undersigned will promptly deliver to Lender a certified copy of the Junior Debt Instruments, as well as certified copies of all other agreements, instruments and documents hereafter evidencing any Junior Debt, in each case showing such endorsement. The Undersigned represents and warrants to Lender that the outstanding amount of Junior Debt evidenced by the Junior Debt Instruments as of the date of this Agreement is $3,000,000.00. The Undersigned expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by Lender of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement and all notices not specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Undersigned expressly waives reliance by Lender upon the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement as herein provided. The Undersigned consents and agrees that all Senior Debt shall be deemed to have been made, incurred and/or continued at the request of the Undersigned and in reliance upon this Agreement. The Undersigned agrees that Lender has made no warranties or representations with respect to the due execution, legality, validity, completeness or enforceability of the documents, instruments and agreements evidencing the Senior Debt, that Lender shall be entitled to manage and supervise its financial arrangements with Borrower in accordance with its usual practices, without impairing or affecting this Agreement, and that Lender shall have no liability to the Undersigned, and the Undersigned hereby waives any claim which it may now or hereafter have against Lender arising out of (i) any and all actions which Lender takes or omits to take (including without limitation actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of liens or security interests in any existing or future Lender's Collateral, actions with respect to the occurrence of an event of default under any documents, instruments or agreements evidencing the Senior Debt, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of Lender's Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Senior Debt from any account debtor, guarantor or other person or entity) with respect to the documents, instruments and agreements evidencing the Senior Debt or to the collection of the Senior Debt or the valuation, use, protection or release of Lender's Collateral (ii) Lender's election in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et. seq.)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Undersigned waives the right to assert the doctrine of marshalling with respect to any of the Lender's Collateral, and consents and agrees that Lender may proceed against any or all of the Lender's Collateral in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. The Undersigned agrees that Lender, at any time and from time to time hereafter, may enter into such agreements with Borrower as Lender may deem proper extending the time of payment of or renewing or otherwise altering the terms of all or any of the Senior Debt or affecting any of Lender's Collateral, and may sell or surrender or otherwise deal with any of Lender's Collateral, and may release any balance of funds of Borrower with Lender, without notice to the Undersigned and without in any way impairing or affecting this Agreement. This Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination and shall be binding on the Undersigned and its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns until Lender has, in writing, notified the Undersigned that all of the Senior Debt has been paid in full and all obligations arising in connection therewith have been discharged. Lender may continue, without notice to the Undersigned, to lend monies, extend credit and make other accommodations to or for the account of Borrower on the faith hereof. The Undersigned hereby agrees that all payments received by Lender may be applied, reversed, and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Senior Debt, without impairing or affecting this Agreement. The Undersigned hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower, any and all endorsers and any and all guarantors of the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt that diligent inquiry would reveal, and the Undersigned hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise the Undersigned of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine. If Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any information of the type described herein to the Undersigned, Lender shall be under no obligation to subsequently update any such information or to provide any such information to the Undersigned on any subsequent occasion.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. To induce Lender to accept this Agreement, the Undersigned irrevocably agrees that, subject to Lender's sole and absolute election, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER OR RESPECT, ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS Ver 1 4 AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, STATE OF ILLINOIS.

Conservatives like profiling, until it happens to them
"The deep irony of the IRS scandal is that people on the political right are being subjected to exactly the kind of profiling that they've long advocated in fighting terrorism and crime," says Farhad Manjoo in Slate. "If you don't like what happened at the IRS, then, you're arguing that profiling is bad policy," he […] [Read More]
IRS only guilty of 'political incorrectness'
"The only real sin the IRS committed in its ostensible targeting of conservatives is the sin of political incorrectness," says Noam Scheiber in the New Republic. The vast majority of "non-disclosing political groups trying to claim tax-exempt status" were right-leaning, so it's not surprising that the IRS scrutinized their questionable status. "The law said their […] [Read More]
IRS could have avoided going after conservatives
If the IRS was concerned about false tax exemption claims, its agents should have scrutinized a random sample of applicants instead of developing a database filter that targeted applications with words most commonly associated with tea party-affiliated groups, says Megan McArdle in the Daily Beast. [Read More]
New term, new hope
Our opinion: The president laid out an ambitious and necessary agency at the start of his second term; the onus is on Republicans in Congress to decide if they're willing to compromise. Now that President Obama doesn't have to worry about being re-elected, and Republicans don't have to worry about it, either, would it be […] [Read More]
Mr. Obama draws the line
Our opinion: There are both reasonable compromises and irresponsible ones to be made to prevent a fiscal emergency. It's up to the Republicans, and how reckless they're determined to be. Now, that's the President Obama we thought we had re-elected, in what was essentially a referendum on economic policy and the economic divide in America. The […] [Read More]
Federalism sure beats secession
It's silly to secede over a presidential election, says Glenn Harlan Reynolds in USA Today. But people also call for secession when feeling exploited by a central government, and we should revisit federalism (a la James Madison) to "get the benefits of secession without seceding." [Read More]
Despite bad images, this party isn't over
The tea party movement is here to stay, says Frank Rich in New York magazine. While the label has "been permanently soiled by images of mad-dog protesters," its ideology has permeated the GOP and "its adherents will not back down or fade away," he says. [Read More]
Freaky Friday for Dems, Republicans
The Democrats and Republicans have completely reversed roles in the last half century, says Todd Purdum in Vanity Fair. The GOP has become "a radical insurgency" bent on upsetting the political system, while the Democrats are its beleaguered defenders, he says. [Read More]
A funny thing happened on the way to the meeting of the minds…
A fascinating exchange took place recently between author, Harvard Law School professor and liberal Lawrence Lessig and political sportswriter, The Nation sports editor and liberal Dave Zirin over whether the Occupy USA and tea party movements might find enough common ground to effect some of the major changes both sides seek. In particular, Lessig said, […] [Read More]

A blog of opinions on local, state and national issues
Posts filtered on Category
Don't try this behind the wheel
Our view: Texting while driving is too dangerous and too widespread to hamper police in ticketing obvious violations. Imagine that you're driving (if you really are driving, we strongly urge you to pull over before reading on). You're going 55 miles an hour on, say, the Northway. Traffic is moderate. Now, close your eyes and […] [Read More]
Police officers have a safer job today
Though still dangerous, being a police officer is safer today than it has been in more than a generation, says Radley Balko in Reason. And that's not just counting homicides, Balko says. Assaults against officers are down too, which is good news for all. [Read More]
Riding in style on public's dime
Our opinion: Pricey cars for Albany County Sheriff's Department investigators suggest the need for stronger oversight of seized assets. When seizure laws were passed years ago to allow police to take criminals' personal property, the selling point was that it would make for better law enforcement. It wasn't supposed to make life cushier for cops. […] [Read More]
No ordinary DWI
From today's editorials: A prominent Albany police detective is arrested. The promise of one standard of justice must be fulfilled. Jimmy Miller, until last week the very public face of the Albany police, was in City Court on Monday for his arraignment on drunken driving charges. His date with the justice system he's more used to providing […] [Read More]
Urge them to merge
From today's editorials: Consolidation of public services is an issue at every level of government. Opposition to a more regional approach might not do much more than delay the inevitable. Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton says farewell. Albany County Executive Michael Breslin is desperately trying to save money. Schuylerville voters go to the polls. These three […] [Read More]
DWI questions
From today's editorials: A cop accused of DWI gets his license back. Confidence in the justice system isn't boosted by loopholes and mistakes. The first question is an easy one. Why does Albany police officer Brian Lutz have his driver's license back, even temporarily, after being arrested on drunken driving charges last December? State law says that […] [Read More]
Paying for the cops
From today's editorials: Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton pushes a city-county police consolidation plan. Residents and governments alike need to consider the potential benefits. So, which is it, Schenectady? What's the better reason for Mayor Brian Stratton to push ahead with his determination to consolidate the city and county police? Is it to further remove the […] [Read More]
Technology tilts the balance of power
Long ago, it was the officer's word against the suspect, and more recently, police officers' stops are now recorded on video, but technology now enables the ordinary citizen to do their own recording, says Radley Balko in Reason. It's not easy, Balko says, but change is for the good. [Read More]
Oh, silly town of Bethlehem
From today's editorials: Juvenile misbehavior calls for mature solutions, not tying up the legal system unnecessarily. _________________ The first mistake in what might be called the Case of the Overblown Case happened when four teenagers decided to go prowling in the dark, banging on doors and ringing bells. The second gaffe — albeit an understandable […] [Read More]
Facing the music in Schenectady
Today's editorial: A mayor contemplating layoffs of other city employees has no choice but to fire yet another cop. Brian Stratton has confronted two persistent challenges in his seven years as mayor of Schenectady. One is the city's fiscal health, the other is its scandal-plagued police department. This week especially, those two nagging challenges overlap […] [Read More]

Idiot Box
"Saul of the Mole Men" on Cartoon Network
By Devin D. O'Leary
During the day, Cartoon Network is a repository for clever, often inspiring cartoons for kids of all ages. At night, however, the lunatics take over the asylum. The late-night "Adult Swim" block allows cutting-edge crazy people to participate in some sort of work release program, ensuring stable employment for the criminally deranged and unquantifiably strange cartoons for the rest of us.
Personally, I love Adult Swim more than life itself. That isn't to say that I'm not occasionally stunned and baffled by what goes on during Adult Swim ("The Milk Chan Show," "12 oz. Mouse," "Tom Goes to the Mayor" to cite just a few examples). Even so, I eagerly await every new Adult Swim offering.
This month's freshly fried batch of weirdness is "Saul of the Mole Men," a 15-minute spoof of early-'70s live-action Saturday morning shows of the type most often practiced by Sid and Marty Krofft ("H.R. Puffnstuff," "Sigmund & The Sea Monsters," "Land of the Lost"). "Saul of the Mole Men" embraces all the LSD-driven imagery, cornball plots and no-budget special effects of the era with glee.
The "Saul" of our title is one Saul Malone (Josh Gardner, former writer for "The Man Show"), a dorky geologist assigned to a top secret STRATA (whatever that stands for) mission deep inside the Earth's core. When the team's drill ship is pummeled by rocks, Saul emerges as the sole survivor. (Well, he does have a grumpy robot called Robot and a cryogenically frozen pop star named Johnny Tambourine in tow, but let's just not count them.) Stuck deep under the planet's core, our jumpsuit-wearing hero must navigate a maze of cheesy green-screen backgrounds and battle ratty, Muppet-ish monsters in his fight to get home.
Like most Adult Swim shows, "Saul of the Mole Men" is less concerned with story logic and more interested in all-out weirdness. Uncomfortable pauses, curious dialogue and the occasional severed sexual organ all figure into the show's first wacked-out episode. Anyone who grew up on the junky charm of "Land of the Lost" or "Ark II" (my hand is raised) will appreciate the odd, yet somehow loving tone.
Since Adult Swim seems currently incapable of producing a show longer than 15 minutes (10 without the endless bumpers and commercials), "Saul of the Mole Men" is teamed with "Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job." This fast-paced and thoroughly aburdist collection of skits, parodies and musical numbers comes from Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, the creators of "Tom Goes to the Mayor." Like "Tom," I don't really get, but I am amused by the twisted cameos by the likes of Bob Odenkirk, Weird Al Yankovic, Zach Galifianakis and Brian Posehn. (Random guest John C. Reilly is easily the funniest part of episode No. 1.)
"Saul of the Mole Men" premieres Monday, Feb. 12, at 1 a.m.

This is the Volvo Concept Estate, and goodness, isn't it rather lovely?
The third study from Volvo's new design boss Thomas Ingenlath - following the also-rather-nice Concept Coupe and Concept XC Coupe - the Concept Estate is a three-door shooting brake that harks back to Volvo's P1800 ES of the Seventies. It's also a hint at the styling of the new XC90 SUV, which arrives this autumn.
Sam Philip27 February 2014
This is the Volvo Concept Estate
Scandinavia's finest shows shooting brake design study with swoopy touchscreen tech. Pretty, isn't it?
This is the Volvo Concept Estate, and goodness, isn't it rather lovely?
But the great Volvo doesn't want you looking at the exterior of the Concept Estate, however lovely it may be. Volvo wants you to admire the Concept Estate's dash and centre console, which, it says, previews a new in-car control system that will span the new generation of Volvos.
Said control system is based around a massive iPad-esque touchscreen supplemented by but a single row of buttons, doing away with the festival of switchgear found in the current crop of Volvos. That touchscreen responds to all the pinch'n'swipe gestures you'll be familiar with from your smartphone, though Volvo is keen to stress the screen won't distract you with a cheeky game of Angry Birds.
"It is fine for an ordinary tablet to compete for your full attention, but a touchscreen in a car is very different," says Ingenlath. "Information must be clear and user-friendly, without turning up the visual volume so much that you risk losing focus on the road."
We've tested touchscreens good and bad in recent months, and are yet to be convinced they currently offer an improvement on the, erm, 'control knob' systems used by BMW and Mercedes with iDrive and Comand respectively. It'll be interesting to see if design-focused Volvo can nail it at last.
No word on what engine lurks beneath the Concept Estate, but it's safe to assume it'll be a 2.0-litre four-cylinder from the company's new standardised range of powerplants.
So it's unlikely to be a BMW M3-beater, but that just gives you more time to admire the Concept Estate's lovely cockpit, with its Scandinavian-hunting-lodge wood and check seats.
If at least some of this car's interior and exterior pizzazz makes it onto the next generation of Volvos, are we heading into another golden era for the Swedes?

Builder only offers Kitchenaid & Whirlpool
We are in the process of building a house and the builder is only offering Whirlpool & Kitchenaid appliances. I believe Whirlpool owns Kitchenaid? After doing extensive research, I am leaning towards a Kitchenaid fridge, dishwasher & cooktop (gas, 6 burner). I am unsure about the double oven, microwave. There are so many Kitchenaid dishwasher models. I NEED quiet! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!!
Can you get an allowance from the builder and buy what you want instead? You're right KA makes good fridges and DWs. I don't know about their cooktops but in the past, their ovens weren't great. Their MW may well be made by someone else and rebranded - most MWs are made by Sharp, Panasonic and GE.
For people building a house, you ought to negotiate the appliance issue up front. Too many people get stuck with builder grade appliances in brand new houses.
I tried to negotiate with them, but unfortunately they won't budge. However, they are letting me pick out any of the appliances from those 2 lines.. not just bottom of the line. I, too, have read mixed reviews on Kitchenaid ovens which is why I was leaning towards Whirlpool. Thanks for the feedback!
KA's KUDE70-something DW is very quiet in my open kitchen, and works well. Their KUDE60 model may be nearly as quiet, according to others here who like that model.
I'd probably be happy with a KA fridge, but not so sure about their ovens from what I've seen here. If you can't get a credit and absolutely have to accept those two brands, maybe you can leave the ovens uninstalled and sell them off, then get what you want and install that. Is that an option? Or find another builder?
You live your life in this house long after this guy is gone. Buy the appliances you want to live with yourself and have them installed at the appropriate time. Rewrite your contract to reflect the amount set for appliances and installation as a resuction to the final payment obligation. Be prepared to maintain control through the payment process. Offer to settle the contract and replace him if he has an overwhelming problem with this.
Begin looking for a replacement now to buttress your decision process. The current conditions have left many very qualified people underemployed.
I have a Miele dishwasher.
My husband and I bought into a retirement community in Arizona many years ago. There are over 400 units in our association.
Several years ago they replaced all our appliances. Whirlpool was the supplier but my husband was on the board and he talked
the board into allowing upgrades for Bosch dishwashers, Bosch washing machines and Bosch refrigerators. We were impressed by how quiet the Bosch dishwasher and Bosch washer was. After careful consideration the board decided to allow upgrades and many of our friends and neighbors did go for the upgrade to Bosch. What a mistake!
After some time the washers and dishwashers made by Bosch acquired a horrible smell! After contacting Bosch about the problem we were told we needed to clean them using heavy chemicals. After trying the cleaners many of us get headaches from the overpowering smell of the chemicals and the smell from the washer and dishwasher never went away.
It seems it is a big problem but at least Whirlpool put a cleaning cycle on their appliance to take care of the problem. What really has me steamed is that my husband passed away recently and I think a lot of his final demise was caused by the embarassment of spearheading the drive to get Bosch into our community.
Many in my bridge club feel the same way. If your builder wants to "upgrade" to Bosch tell them no way! Whirlpool or Kitchenaid (they are the same company) have taken the problem away with their own cleaner. The reviews for for the cleaner do state the cleaner has a powerful chemical smell but at least they are trying. It shows dedication to the customer and that is what is important. Bosch doesn't even have a cycle or a cleaner!
My husband Robert was in the second world war but he could look past all that and advise to get a German made Bosch and look what happened.
All the units that have Bosch are now replacing with Whirlpool with better cleaning cycles. It is a big expense but will be well worth it. Now we just have to find something to take away the heavy chemical smell. Someone in my bridge club mentions she uses Affresh but the stench was so strong she started using vinegar in both her washer and dishwasher. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are there any natural cleaners out there? We really don't want to use chemicals in a dishwasher because it can get onto the utensils and we won't be much better off! I also read that Whirlpool has class action lawsuits on their appliance odor problem. Does anyone know how we can start a class action lawsuit to get Bosch to change their appliances or to reimuburse us for money spent on replacing appliances? This isn't even going into any health problems caused by the mold and bacteria caused by defective Bosch appliances. Let your friends know about the problem in case they decide to go for Bosch appliances. We let other associations know about it and actually put a stop to Whirlpool getting replaced by Bosch by an upscale association that we have bridge tournaments with!
Thank you,
I have a KA DW KUDE60 and that model and the KUDE70 are extremely quiet and have all the bells and whistles including cutlery rack. The best, top of the line. I like the way it loads much better than a Bosch which I could have had for the same, or lesser if I remember correctly, price. I've had KA Superba double ovens for 12 years- convection in both ovens- and have had no problems. And yes, I use self-cleaning all the time with no problem.
I went through this a while ago too. Didn't like the builder's choice of ranges but local code required a range to issue the occupancy permit. Ended up taking the cheapest one they offered and buying another.
You pretty much have the same choice. Figure out from the builder's choice what work for you or go with the cheapest offerings and replace them. The old ones can be sold on Craigslist or donated to charity.
Whirlpool does own KitchenAid and Maytag, although with a few others.
Doesn't sound the poster has a problem with only getting Whirlpool appliances-- he is asking which ones to get.
I have a KA dw and frig for 12 years and both are top notch appliances. I personally think KA appliances are good looking too.
When I was shopping for dishwashers a couple of months ago, most of the Whirlpool models seemed to have plastic tubs while KA models had stainless tubs. KA has a pretty good reputation for durability. In addition to the KUDE60 and 70 models suggested above, I suggest you look at the KUDE50CX (slightly fewer cycles and options and about $100 less than the others.) KA claims 40 dba sound level for the KUDE50CX. I do not know how they measured that. Consumer Reports's measurements cast some doubt on that. CR says all KA and Whirlpool DWs are average for noise while others (Meile and Bosch) get "very good" and "excellent" ratings.
Be aware that careful installation is very important for controlling dw noise levels. You want the side gaskets properly aligned to the cabinets and and want to block gaps at the front of the base. Your builder (of the subcontractors) should know this but it is a good thing to check.
You did not say what kind of fridge you are looking for (FD, SxS, BF, TF?), whether you want standard depth or counter depth (CD), and what capacity you want (22 cu. ft.? 25 cu. ct.?, larger?) If you are looking for a bottom freezer (BF) or french door (FD), all Whirlpool's brands are made in the same plant in Amana, Iowa. The main WP brands are WP, WP Gold, KA, Maytag and Amana.
Having just decided between WP and KA in purchasing a new FD fridge, the differences that I observed between the FD and BF models in the KA and WP Gold lines were these: (1) KA models have a ten year warranty on sealed systems while other WP products only offer 5 years or 1 year (meaning that they want you to buy an extended warranty); (2) the KA models often have digital thermometer readouts/controls while the WP models use an an arbitrary 1-7 scale; (3) if you do not want through-the-door dispensers, KA models come with internal water dispensers; (4) the KA models have temperature adjustable deli-drawers while only the larger WP models do; and (5) the lines (other than CD) are all available in black, white and stainless finishes; the KA finishes are and look like stainless steel while the WP and other lines are a brushed metallic finish. Note that the SS is only for the doors; the cabinets are painted a slate gray or black.
Up until this year, Consumer Reports's membership surveys showed WP's FD and BF models had the lowest defect rate in the industry (only 8% over the first five years of ownership). KA trailed a bit at 10% which was probably the result of selling a higher proportion of its models with through-the-door-dispensers (TTDD) which are a weak point and a reliability problem for every manufacturer. (GE's defect rate went to 25% for a while because of the problems it had with TTDD when it outsourced production.) In the most recent CR membership survey results, released a couple of weeks ago, WP and KA defect rates bumped up to 11%. This is probably because both WP and KA lines are now selling a lot more units with TTDD. I note that Whirlpool's top-freezer models, which rarely have TTDDs, still show the lower defect rate of 8%.
Both Consumer Reports and RefrigeratorInfo.com tests show WP's FD and BF fridges having very even temperature performance and excellent crisper humidty contol.
I wound up getting a KBFS22 model. You can find my initial review and some comments here:
Are you thinking about getting a micro & wall oven combo? I would say: don't do it. I think that microwaves are the appliances most likely to have short lives. Replacing a built-in MW can be a royal pain to the wallet as elsewhere. If you can, have your builder install a microwave shelf, undercounter, if you like, or above the counter. That way, you free up counter space and you can replace the MW when needed with a commodity product when the original ones dies, as it almost inevitably will.
Some people like speed-ovens, which are microwaves with the ability to use radiant elements and convection. If memory serves, Whirlpool makes or made a unit which I think is called the Velos and can be in a shelf or installed as part of a wall oven combo. That kind of unit would be the only one that I personally would consider for a combo, and I would only do that after researching its durability and user reviews.
Hopefully, the builder is no offering an OTR MW unit for your six-burner cooktop. Those only go to 30 inches wide, which would be way too small for effective venting of your 36-inch gas cooktop.
This is mostly out of my league and others will have to supply information. I can only comment on two things. First, Whirlpool and Kitchenaid had problems over the last couple of years with the self-cleaning function on wall ovens causing the ovens to overheat and blow an over-temperature switch and sometimes fried the intergrated circuits. Do a search here and you can find details. Second, my recollection is that WP's newer model convection ovens come with a larger cooling fan for the electronics and some people find that fan annoyingly loud. Again, do a search on this and see what you find.
I have no experience with the 6 burner KA unit, but I believe it is actually a "rangetop" (with control knobs on a vertical face in front rather than sitting on top of the cooking surface) and that it has at least one burner rated at 20k-btu-hr.
That means you should seriously consider a large rangehood that vents to the outside. A general rule of thumb is that you want a range hood to extend about 3 inches beyond the left and right sides of the stove/rangetop/cooktop. The last time I checked, Kitchenaid had several range hoods in 42-inch and 48-inch widths in both wall mount versions and island versions.
The nice thing about hoods that big is that they are powerful enough to clear a lot of air at their low speeds, at which they will be pretty quiet. The downside to these things is that you will need to have your builder come-up with some kind of make-up air to avoid backdrafting when you run the hood on high. Maybe you live in a warm climate where you could just open a window?
A couple of further thoughts on rangehoods.
I think Whirlpool also brands some island and wall hung units but, AFAIK, none are larger than 36-inch inches wide.
There have been a lot of recent threads here which discuss range hoods. I do not recall much discussion of Kitchenaid or Whirlpool units, but you will find the discussions informative if you do a search. The information will help you talk to the builder and, if need be, to building inspectors and permit enforcers.
Thanks, JWvideo-- such a thorough response, and useful to many more of us that just the original poster. It is really helpful to me to see responses that really lay out the logic used, and the criteria for the decision as well as the end result. It takes a lot of time, and is a generous contribution. Not that the "I have X and love it!" responses are not helpful, but it takes a lot more of them to see a pattern, and you still never know if the poster has the same priorities as you do. Thanks again. (I have an appliance list for a new build and a couple of the things you addressed were extremely applicable to some of my remaining questions.)

This is a vintage Egyptian Revival bangle bracelet covered with hieroglyphics. The bracelet is unmarked. It tests as silver plated.
This bracelet has an interior circumference of 8" around. It measures 2.75" inside diameter and is .375" band width.
Condition is good, except for some plate loss inside.
Dating this is difficult without markings since there were so many repeated periods of Egyptian Revival styles. It could date from the 1920s-30s or it might date from the 1970s.

Sandy Hook Promise, an organization founded by Newtown residents and some family members who lost children and loved ones in the Newtown shooting tragedy, has launched Parents Together, a national campaign to prevent gun violence through parent education.
A little less than a year after 26 lives were lost on Dec. 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, an organization formed from the tragedy is launching a new national campaign to help prevent gun violence. As an organization founded by Newtown residents, including some of the family members who lost children and loved ones in the Newtown shooting incident, Sandy Hook Promise has launched Parent Together, a new grassroots campaign to educate and empower parents to prevent gun violence in their communities.
The idea behind the campaign is that parents are stronger when they stand together. The group hopes to reset the conversation by reminding parents that their love for their children can overcome political paralysis.
"Since its founding last December, Sandy Hook Promise has been seeking ways to bring Americans together to help prevent gun violence," said Nicole Hockley, the mother of 6-year-old Dylan, who was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. "Last year at this time, I was that mom who was deeply saddened by the violence I saw on the news, but I didn't think I could do anything to change it. But then it struck home and I knew that to honor Dylan's life, I had to get involved to prevent other parents from experiencing this grief. Through Parent Together, we will build on our common ground as parents and our love for our children to create a national community empowered to make our children safer."
Sandy Hook Promise will begin to roll out tools and programs for parents to implement in their communities that focus on mental wellness, community connectedness, and gun safety. These tools and programs will be used by parents to help prevent gun violence within their homes, their schools, their communities, and ultimately the nation.
For more information on the campaign, go to sandyhookpromise.org.
