Skip to comments.Chrislam? Christian Palestinianism??
Posted on 01/08/2012 7:12:48 PM PST by F15Eagle
Whenever we, as biblical Christians, think that things couldn't possibly become more preposterous in Christendom, we need to call to mind the Scriptures that tell us that the time will come when Christians will not endure sound doctrine, and many will corrupt the Word of God (2 Timothy:4:3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;; 2 Corinthian 2:17; 2 Peter:3:16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.) . The Apostle Paul further declares to Timothy that those who bring such doctrines shall turn people away from the truth to fables, that is, myths, of their own invention (2 Timothy:4:4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.; Titus:1:14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.) . Today, such teachings and practices are increasing at a staggering rate ... (more)
Chrislam ? That attempt to combine Christianity and Islam in a common worship service would be a bad joke if it were a joking matter, but it's far from it. As I understand it, this teaching began as a way to help stop the genocide and bring peace between Muslims and Christians in Africa . Sincere in its concern, no doubt, yet sincerely wrong. Muslims who truly follow the Qur'an, and Christians who believe what the Bible presents, regard Chrislam as a blasphemous contradiction of their beliefs.
Why? The differences, which are very apparent, cannot be reconciled. Allah is a false god of man's making

What about Palestinian Christians who have found themselves in the no-man's land between Israel and the Muslim Fundamentalists?
Very few are left anywhere in the Palestine territorties.
Chrislam-Religion followed by those who are not of sound mind. Used by non-Christians to try to explain the pseudo Christian faith expressed by a certain very powerful individual who inhabits a large columned building in DC.
40 years ago many writers discussed the Apocalypse with visions of the Soviets being key players.
We tend to look to obvious extremes to view the enemy.
How about examining the dilution of Christianity and the excusing of sin, in terms of normalizing abortion, homosexual marriage, teen sex, no consequences....in this life or the next....
Few. But some. I'm a Melkite Catholic, and our Church has a significant presence.
One of my priests is from Bethlehem.
But less each year, sadly.
I believe it to be God's will, considering what is coming in the near future.
Very interesting, informative, educational. Thanks for posting.
It's horrible what has happened. I often have wondered why pro-Israel Evangelicals have seemed to look the other way as Palestianian Christians have been forced to flee.
Correct me if my perception is incorrect.
Americans should also remember that a plurality of American Arabs are Christian and not Muslim.
It is horrible. To force an entire people to flee their native area or be forced into marriage, just to survive is a form of genocide.
Many people do not know that some of the Arabs are Christians and not Muslims. Of course, the media doesn't do much to help people differentiate between them.
My family and I lived for years on the West Bank. There are still plenty of Christian Arabs there as well as in East Jerusalem.
American Evangelicals already devote about 75% of their vote to the Republican party, what else are they supposed to do?
I e-mailed CBN once to protest Pat Robertson's statement that the Palestinians had no right to live in the "Promised Land" and mentioned the Christians.
The response was negative that the Jews were the chosen people and only they had the right to live there.
Perhaps the problem is sectarian, considering most Palestinian Christians are either Catholic of one Eastern Church or another or Eastern Orthodox (Not Catholic).
I'd like to know why they have this attitude.
It is indeed a travesty. I lived for years on the West Bank and saw my share of "Israel can do no wrong" Christian Zionists. Regrettably, most were taken in by the slick presentations by their Israeli tour guides and showed little interest in the difficulties faced by their Arab Christian brethren as well as by Israeli messianic believers.
I love Israel and am a strong supporter of the Jewish state. However, I find it troubling that those who have never suffered a day of genuine persecution show so little concern for Christian communities that have and are suffering discrimination simply for being Christian. The problem is especially acute in the Arab Middle East but some parts of Israeli society are very hostile to Christianity as well.
What are you proposing? Judaistianislam? Oh wait, Islam must be first. Isludainity.

>>Same here, but a lot of Jews have a visceral anti-Christian hatred that is the mirror image of anti-Semitism.
Americans are pampered and isolated from what the rest of the world experiences in the fight for survival.
I keep my mouth shut when I talk with the Palestinian members of my parish. I spent the last quarter of 2011 working for IAI North America, an Israeli company, and I thought my priest was going to go nuts after I let it slip.
I don't know about Pat Robertson, never have known much about him, but I would think that voting conservative would be the best path to them getting American assistance, and Evangelicals do that massively.
I would think that the Obama voting religious groups would be the one's open for criticism, not the 23% of American voters who are Evangelical, don't you?
How about the restoration of the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem?
I wasn't discussing politics per se. But I'd take a conservative Evangelical President over Obama any day.
That's correct. My best friend is a Palestinian Christian whose family moved to DC area decades ago....
I think that or foreign policy is about politics and elections. Religious groups that voted for Obama were making a choice which includes Middle East actions by us or lack of them, and whether we will try to help Christians abroad.
I think the Democrats have a deep-seated hatred of Christians abroad as well as here at home.
I have a number of friends who are Coptic, and I know they are horrified with the administration's handling of their interests.
But, less and less.
When Arafat first took over, 80 percent of Bethlehem were Christians, though I don't know the percentage throughout the Palestinean territories.
Today, at best, Bethlehem has about 15 percent of the population and much of the territories are now devoid of Christians.
It will continue to depopulate until there are no Christians left.
the only Middle Eastern Nation with a growing Christian population is Israel
I agree with you about that, it is why you will see me not discussing theology on religion threads, but voting instead, and trying to draw attention to conservatives needing to work within their churches to steer them into supporting conservatism, and to not voting for the party of the anti-Christianity left.
I'm in agreement on this point. While I strongly disagree with Protestants on theological matters, when it comes to politics we need to stake a common front.
My late friend Paul Weyrich set this sort of example when he left his feelings about Protestant theology in the church hall and worked to build bonds on political levels.
Pat Robertson has accomplished many great things for the Kingdom. Unfortunately, especially in his later years he has been given to making off-the-cuff statements that show a disturbing lack of judgment. One would think that someone of his stature would have a greater measure of discernment.
Here is something very instructive. As a person ages, and especially in our later years when our natural faculties diminish, it becomes ever more difficult to "conceal" what is truly in our hearts: "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart." (Luke 6:45 NASB) The fact that Robertson, as one example, shows these disturbing qualities may thus be evidence of deeper problems regarding which only God and his wife know.
Robertson is here simply parroting the "standard" Dispensational/Evangelical view of eschatology, which teaches that "Israel" and the Church remain separate entities, and that God has "a separate plan" for the nation of Israel. According to this view, the establishment of the nation of Israel was a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, and heralds the 2nd Coming of Christ.
Thus, those who hold this view are very excited about Israel and what is happening there, as it only confirms that their own "rapture" is imminent. In the 1970's Hal Lindsey asserted in his Late Great Planet Earth that the rapture would occur within one generation of the founding of Israel (that "generation" was "providentially" soon to be completed at the time Lindsey was writing). Unfortunately, the "generation" came and went, forcing Lindsey to "modify" his views numerous times.
There is too much to "unpack" regarding the problems with this view, but suffice to say that it is a recent teaching that arose in the 19th century and captured certain segments of American Christians. The fact that those who hold this view often show little concern for the historic Christian communities in Israel, in my opinion, speaks volumes.
Let me pause here to affirm my belief that the Bible clearly indicates that certain prophetic events will take place in the land of Israel, notably the battle of Armageddon. However, with regard to God's Plan of Salvation, there is only one Divine plan, which unites Gentile and Jew in the Body of Christ.
Returning to the issue at hand, our Lord Himself taught: "And by this they shall know that you are My disciples, if you have love one for another..." (John 13:35, NIV). Any theological system which gives license to Christians failing to observe this command, as in the example of Pat Robertson's studied lack of concern for his Christian brethren, is in my view highly suspect. The typical rejoinder: "Oh they aren't 'real' Christians anyway (i.e., "they aren't American Evangelical, Pentecostal, Dispensational Christians) only reveals a smug cultural superiority on the part of those who enjoy lives of comparative luxury and have not suffered a day of genuine persecution in their lives.
Protestants have only voted 3 times for the democrat and two of those were in 1932, and 1936, Catholics have only voted for the republican 3 to six times (some election results are disputed).
For instance America's Catholics voted for Obama at 54% yet even Hispanic Protestants only gave him 52%, of course the overall Protestant vote was 54% republican, and the Evangelical vote was around 75% republican.
That is why it surprises me the way "Evangelical" shows up on so many threads, as failing our causes.
I know that some of the families in my parish date their lineages back to around 700 A.D. in the Holy Land.
As far as the Dispensationalists are concerned, the Palestinian Christians are cultists and pagans.
I found an older article by the Catholic News Service discussing the Catholic population in Israel.
Catholics historically voted Democratic because the Republicans excluded them due to anti-Catholic prejudice.
More recent studies have shown that number has started to equal out at least among white Catholics.
You're welcome.
No, Catholics vote liberal because they are liberal, the Obama vote was not historical, the Gore vote was not historical, we are not sitting here wondering who will win the Catholic vote in 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, because it is historical.
The Catholic vote will only become more democrat in the future unless someone figures out a way to change what ever is wrong in there.
How do you define Catholic? Mass-going Catholics tend to vote much more Republican than those whom I'd call CINO.
Deal Hudson did a survey of Catholic voters about a decade ago and found that Catholic voting practices mirrored their degree of observance.
I got along with the whole family quite well, though they were a bit concerned by the fact I was Jewish (they were very observant Catholics, and my family had similar reservations), and the fact I was 6 years older than her (she was 21, I was 27 at the time).
What the PLO did to Lebanon should have resulted in Arafat (and Abbas after him) rotting in prison for the rest of their lives, even if their genocidal war against the Jews of Israel were ignored.
For crying out loud, baptized, self announced Catholics are no longer Catholic, they are being removed from the count when the Vatican gives it's global figures?
You know? you are never going to change this voting problem until you face the facts and see the truth, only then can you start working on a way to change it.
Sirhan Sirhan is a Palestinian Christian who seems to have imbibed a whole lot of Islam's values.
Yes it is and frightening so as many are taking the bait regardless of the religion or institute drumming the beat. And it's coming in many directions now.
NewAge Spirituality is truly grapping the youth who are caught up in it's web....no accountability involved...and they're also a large part of the push for a one world religion where all religions can come together....bad stuff! As for Islam and Christianity uniting in their services etc...it is an absolute affront to the God of Christianity. Most who do this would not do so if they knew the scriptures....which so many don't today....but the piped pipers are tooting and they are following....it could be no other way as God said He would send a strong delusion...so the hour is getting very short where the scriptures will be seen as the truth which they were intended to be seen as...instead they're being twisted and contorted to bait people...and it's working..
There are such a thing, to be honest, but they are used by the Arabs to foment unrest against Israel, as well. One does not see for sure if they are just Christian by birth, or by rebirth into God's kingdom. That is an important question to find out, as there are a lot of Christian this and that. Born to Christian families as in a Christian nation, not necessarily that they are believers as we would describe them. Only God knows for sure. Not saying that the ones being persecuted for their faith are not believers, as I do believe many truly are suffering for their faith, but not all Christian groups are by faith, but rather, some are political.
I gave up on politics. It's a corrupt, dirty world.
We shouldn't be imposing Born Again theology onto Middle Eastern politics when it comes to defining who is or is not a Christian.
Sirhan was a communist.
The vote is how we decide whether to have abortion, the homosexual agenda, foreign affairs, pornography and all the rest of it.
Learning the facts about American voting has really shaken me up, it is amazing to learn how misguided we are about who votes how, I had been misled and mistaken all of my life, I was stirred to look into it by reading some of the religious arguments that I read here at FR.
Paul made a distinction between Israel and the Church. Read Romans 11. Paul, speaking of the unbelieving Jews says that though they are enemies of the gospel, Gods gifts to them are irrevocable.
28 From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of Gods choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
"The apostasy.. (the undermining of biblical faith to prepare the way for the religion of the Antichrist)... is developing at an exponential rate
Yes it is and frightening so as many are taking the bait regardless of the religion or institute drumming the beat. And it's coming in many directions now."
Christianity in the Middle East is being destroyed, sadly due to our actions...

Police are investigating the case of a 2-year-old boy who was severely burned while in the care of his father's girlfriend.
Police aren't sure how Tavion Moore was burned, but believe there is little chance his burns were an accident.
Tavion was treated in Iowa City for second- and third-degree burns on his hands after the incident in a Des Moines home on Sunday.
Doctors say the burns are consistent with scalding water or oil. They were so severe that skin was falling off the toddler's hand.
The 19-year-old girlfriend told authorities that Tavion was burned in an accident involving a dishwasher.
Des Moines Sgt. Steve Woody says it's unlikely that the toddler burned himself, and the injuries show evidence of abuse.

DEFINITION of 'Hawala '
An alternative remittance channel that exists outside of traditional banking systems. Hawala is a method of transferring money without any actual movement. One definition from Interpol is that Hawala is "money transfer without money movement." Transactions between Hawala brokers are done without promissory notes because the system is heavily based on trust.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Hawala '
Hawaladars, or Hawala dealers, arrange money transfers that are often backed only by trust, family connections or regional relationships. Hawala originated in South Asia during ancient times, and is used throughout the world today, particularly in the Islamic community as an alternative means of conducting funds transfers. Hawala is frequently referred to as underground banking, which is a misnomer because Hawala services often operate openly and legitimately.

Police in Kent have suspended use of all laser speed guns following a court case, MCN can exclusively reveal.
An email sent globally to all officers in south Kent, leaked to MCN, stated: 'Following a court case at Folkestone yesterday and in liaison with the Criminal Justice Unit (traffic) a review of speed enforcement policy is to be made regarding the use of all laser speed guns in South Kent.
'Pending this review, NO further FPN's [fixed penalty notices] or summons should be issued.'
A source has told MCN the action is force-wide. The email was dated October 4 and said it was hoped the review would be completed within two weeks. It was signed by roads policing officer Phil Sharp and said officers would be notified of 'any changes in policy required before any further enforcement takes place'.
A second email to all south Kent officers stated that standard police drivers may not exceed 100mph. The email, from area driving examiner Ian Clark, said: 'Standard Drivers/Riders are trained to drive/ride response vehicles up to, and not exceeding, a speed of 100mph. Therefore, Standard Drivers/Riders will be required to justify their actions if found to be travelling in excess of the 100mph speed limit. Only accredited Advanced Drivers/Riders may exceed speeds of 100mph.'
MCN was awaiting an official response from Kent Police at the time of writing. The force has not confirmed whether the suspension includes LTI 20.20 laser speed detectors used in speed camera vans.

SUPPLY—Theresa Tese had been praying for guidance, asking for something she could do to help others when inspiration struck.
Ensconced in her Long Island living room a couple of winters ago, Tese looked down at her cozy new Christmas slippers and began to think about people whose feet might not be as warm that night.
"It just was in my heart, that the homeless really need this," she said. "They go through their socks, they wear them out, in one week. It's always a renewable need."
For members of a small gallery, some Franklin Square Gallery artists won big at the statewide watercolor show in Greenville and several other competitions.
Six artists from this Southport cooperative gallery had their work accepted to this prestigious juried show and five won major prizes. Others won awards in Beaufort, Myrtle Beach, S.C., and locally.
The winners in the 14th annual Arts by the Shore, hosted by Oak Island Art Guild and Oak Island Parks and Recreation, have been announced.
Jane Staszak, an award-winning artist and judge from South Carolina, was the juror.

Second place: "Morning Rush" by Phil Meade.
Third place: "Paint Job" by Ortrud Tyler.
Thanksgiving dinner usually revolves around a glorious, bronzed, succulent roast turkey. This is actually one of the easiest parts of the meal.
Plan on about 1-1/2 pounds of turkey for each person. You can buy a frozen turkey and thaw it ahead of time, cook your turkey still frozen (see below) or order a fresh bird. With a frozen bird, you have to plan ahead to thaw it. It takes at least 24 hours in the refrigerator for every 5 pounds of turkey, so a 20-pound bird will take 4-5 days to thaw.
Brining the Turkey
Obviously, I have just returned from an intense couple of hours entrenched in the anxieties, terrors and corruption of 1928 Los Angeles in the film, 'Changeling.'
From the onset, I was immersed in the story of the abduction of Walter Collins and the ceaseless battle waged by his mother, Christine, as she fought to learn of her son's whereabouts.
SUPPLY—Teams competing in "Are You Smarter Than a Village Schooler?" on Saturday night had to know some stuff.
They needed to know the three most important nutrients for plant growth. They were asked how many quarters are in $3.50, what a six-sided figure is called and what is the longest river in the world, among dozens of other things.
As we celebrate this Veterans Day, many names come to mind of people we know in Brunswick County that served their country with great honor.
Some names are well known, and other names are less known. Nonetheless, they were heros. Many residents of Brunswick County are familiar with the name of Odell Williamson.
Odell was a veteran and served as an Army pilot during World War II assigned to the 30th Division.
The cooler weather of autumn may not have completely shut our warm-season grasses down, but mowing is probably a moot point for most of us now. While you may be enjoying the lawn care break, you can do yourself lots of good in the ongoing battle on lawn weeds by striking early.
Applied to centipede, St. Augustine and Bermuda lawns, atrazine will control some of the existing weeds and keep lots of other winter weeds from showing up.
You may say, "Heck, I don't see any weeds out there." You may be right, but look closely.
If you haven't seen the colorful fall foliage, then walk outside and take a look. Your eyes are in for a wonderful treat.
Our botanical garden in Bolivia is peaking with many bright hues of yellow, red, orange and purple. I often hear we do not have any color change in southeastern North Carolina, but I beg to differ. There are a number of plants showing off right now, but hurry, it will not last.
If you like what you see and want to add more color in your landscape, then jot down the names of the plants you like and plant them this fall.
For me, the word library conjures up images of cold, stone buildings. I can still smell the musty odor that lingered in the air, exciting the imagination and exacerbating an air of literary mystery.
Order was paramount in that place. Books dared not venture from their Dewey Decimal System placement and readers dared not return them to a spot that differed from their original place.
GRISSETTOWN—All things Italian will be celebrated this Saturday at Silver Coast Winery, which is staging its annual Festa Italia 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Ask anyone about salt and they'll tell you it's bad for you. Well, they're wrong. Salt is not bad for you. Your body needs it to function properly.
What's bad for you is excessive salt, or actually, the sodium part of salt.
Americans consume an estimated 4,000-4,500 mg of salt a day. We only need 500 mg a day, and it's recommended we get no more than 2,400 mg a day—about the amount in one teaspoon of salt.
Those of you who keep up with my ramblings via this great newspaper, radio or television, know I have a bit of Japanese maple mania. With more than 500 selections, it is easy to go a little Acer palmatum nutty.
Even though my garden is pretty small, I've figured out a way to work in seven different Japanese maples—Bloodgood, Emperor I, Crimson Queen, Tamukeyama, Orangeola, Seiryu and Sango Kaku. If my Emerald Pagoda Japanese Snowbell continues to disappoint, there may be some extra space opening up.
There has always been a concern for runoff into our waterways. Water runoff may carry pollutants that can wreak havoc in our sensitive environmental estuaries and marshes.
Dislodged particles of soil and water soluble materials, whether they are nutrients or other chemicals, can move across the surface of even gentle slopes and be deposited into ditches or canals ultimately ending up in our water ways. Buffer strips help to filter out most pollutants and can trap sediment or other particles from entering our streams.
If you haven't purchased your daffodil bulbs for next year, you better hurry right now to the garden center to pick out some beauties for next year's landscape.
Daffodils are among the easiest, most affordable and pest-free perennials available. One requirement is daffodils need to be vernalized; that is, they need both the cold and the warmth to bloom. Daffodils require a short chill period as opposed to tulips, which require a longer chill period. Our winters are cool enough for daffodils, as we can see as they continue to come back year after year.
HICKMANS CROSSROADS—Watching her dog, Margaret, snoozing on the sunporch last January ignited Marsha Tennant's creative spark.
She still remembers growing up in rural Brunswick County, raising a family and working hard for everything she had.
And Bessie Hewett has more memories than most, considering she is possibly the county's oldest living resident.
The Supply native will celebrate her 108th birthday this month surrounded by generations of offspring, and she will even garner a mention on an upcoming broadcast of NBC's "Today" show, along with other centenarians from across the country.
A group of musicians and friends from the Ash area recently formed a rock band "Blackwater Outlaws" and will perform Nov. 8 at Big Woods ATV Park in Longwood.
The band members include Jason Coveyou, 28, of Ash on guitar and vocals; Myron Norris, 27, of Ash, on guitar and vocals; Travis Norris, 32, of Ash, on vocals; William Norris, 53, of Ash, on bass guitar and vocals; and Butch Register, 51, on drums.

Apple will swap fanbois' killer phoney phone chargers for legit adapters
Dodgy knockoff power adapters for iPhones, iPads and iPods can be swapped for an official charger in a new trade-in deal from Apple. The Cupertino giant is keen to get dangerous third-party power gear out of fanbois' hands after a woman in China was electrocuted when she tried to take a call on her iPhone while it was charging …
There used to be a time where electric equipment with a metal case needed to have said case grounded.
Re: Ground
Do you really think cheap knock off chargers will comply with regulations? they don't even make safe baby milk powder over there, so if they don't care about babies then why would they care about iPhone users?
Re: Ground
I've seen a cheap printer where the brown wire in the mains cable was connected to the metal parts of the chassis... Just as well it was PAT-tested before anyone tried to use it.
Proper double-insulation is safe, as is proper grounding. Both can be lethally badly-designed.
Re: Ground (& regulations)
The knock-off manufacturers seem to think CE marking means Chinese Export
Re: Ground
@AC 11:43 - >"Re: Ground. Do you really think cheap knock off chargers will comply with regulations?"
He was talking about the phone, not the charger. It's an iPhone - it's got a metal case. Get it? "Whoosh"!
Re: Ground
All phones are powered by a battery or an isolated power supply, which renders a grounded case pointless. There are no consumer regulations, nor best-design practices that would require an isolated metal case to be grounded.
There are, however, regulations that consumer power supplies, such as those found in chargers, fully isolate the primary mains from the low-voltage secondary even in the presence of high humidity and very high mains voltage.
Re: Ground
The problem in these units is that the isolation between the 380V DC output of the switcher and the 5V USB socket is wishfull thinking. Putting it in a grounded metal case would do bugger-all to help
The real solution is for the world to use proper BS plugs so that there is room for a proper 6inch isolation gap, rather than these tiny little American things.
Re: Ground
It's actually not that bad. The general rule I've heard is 1mm air-gap per 1kV isolation, with a consumer product only needing about 1.5kV isolation to pass regulatory testing.
Re: Ground
alright, then how did the Chinese woman get electrocuted when picking up the phone?
Re: Ground
> alright, then how did the Chinese woman get electrocuted when picking up the phone?
The knockoff charger was not designed to any acceptable regulatory standards and bridged power from the mains side to the secondary side? If the charger was near the shower, high humidity could have contributed to the dielectric breakdown. This is why devices carrying the UL and/or CE mark are tested at extremely high mains voltages after being soaked in 90-95% relative humidity for 48 hours.
A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
If their stuff weren't so damn expensive this problem wouldn't exist.
So I wonder when the day will come on which I can take in my cheap Android - that just could be somehow dangerous - that I chose to buy because i-things are overpriced - and swap it for The Real Thing for £100?
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Sorry but it is a cultural problem of China to sort out. It's nothing to do with Apple's pricing.
When your country has a billion people and one baby per family policies you get the impression they don't really value human life. That has nothing to do with the cost of a product. There was a video posted of a child on the road in China and everyone was walking past and not doing anything to help. There's your problem.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Fandroids seem to like to ignore the fact that directly competing Android phones cost about the same or more than the iPhone (the Galaxy S4 was more expensive than the iPhone 5 last time I looked). Just like PCs you can buy cheaper phones, but with a reduced specification and/or quality. They also like to ignore the fact that on contract (which is how most folks still get their phones) you can get the iPhone 4 for the same price as cheap Android phones (i.e. nothing to pay up front).
All you're saying here is "I'm too cheap to pay for a premium phone", not that the iPhone price is priced beyond most people's means or budget.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Google Nexus 4 16GB - £279. iPhone 5 16GB £529.
Thanks for playing though.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
I'd not be suprised if the same thing didn't happen in many other countries, though in the UK it would probably be "ah the parents around somewhere I don't want to have to deal with the shit if I pick it up and find whose it is and people are like 'are you stealing that baby' and nah fuck that."
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
I don't really think you can compare the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S4.
The Galaxy S4 is streets ahead, so is the HTC One, of the iPhone so there should be no reason for the iPhone to demand such a premium.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Of course flagship androids cost more, theyre actually useful functional devices. But then again even £85 'landfill' androids can give iPhones a run for their money..
If I was going to chose a point of comparison to support the iPhone functionality to price would not be my choice... Kinda akin to invading sevastopol in speedos & sandals... Not the wisest possible choice possibly..?
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
It doesn't help that Apple have chosen to ignore the treaties it has signed that mandate the Micro USB as the charging port. A treaty it signed before the iPhone 4 was released, and long before the release of the lightning port (i.e. early or before the development lifecycle).
Now the fanbois will tell you "ah but Apple will sell you an adapter" - well that has two faults - one, you need to carry it, so why not just carry the original cable that came with the phone, and two, you still HAVE TO BUY IT for £15.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Oh look, this years latest and greatest Android models are, on paper at least, better than last years iPhone. That and a phone that is 3G only and sold at near cost (if you can lay your hands on one) by Google as a loss leader is a direct competitor? Think again on that one.
Try again, but using logic. The current model iPhone competes in the same range as the top end Android devices. Last years iphone competes in the mid range and the year before that in budget. In 3-6 months time no-doubt people will be looking at the specs of the S4 and HTC One and sneering at them compared to the latest and greatest at the time. Does that mean they are currently overpriced?
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
This has nothing to do with the connector used on the device being charged. Whether it be Micro USB or Apple's proprietary connectors, the charger converts mains voltage to the isolated low-voltage sent to the device through the connector.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Comment about the 3G only, fair enough, although I don't know anyone using 4G in the UK anyway.
Release Dates;
Nexus 4 Release Date = November 13th 2012
iPhone 5 Release Date = September 12th 2012
I've not heard of any Nexus 4 availability problems for months, I know that when I ordered mine in February it arrived 3 days later.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
No technical difference but...
Since the apple part is more expensive, and even the licensed 3rd party are more expensive due to the apple tax on the connector they can charge more for a fake apple adaptor then the same unit with a micro usb. They always bootleg the expensive handbag, not the cheap one.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Build quality on the Nexus 4 is awful. Not bothered about how stuff looks really the internals are pretty good but it doesn't feel right to hold. (Or like it is robust).
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
>This has nothing to do with the connector used on the device being charged.
Yes it does.
If Apple stuck to the rules you could use any USB socket to charge them. But because they ignore the rules and use a proprietry convector your choice is a $100 iCharger from iApple or a $2 knock off
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
> I'd not be suprised if the same thing didn't happen in many other countries, though in the UK
Funny that you mention. Last time I had the displeasure of going through LHR (many years ago, thankfully) I came across a lone child standing on a pool of vomit. I must have been following the disembarkation of a convention for the blind, judging by all those people walking past with their gaze intently fixed in the distance.
Only costed about 30 seconds of my time until his teacher and all his classmates showed up (strangely enough, with a mop and a bucket). The little clever bugger was alright, aside from having ingested some dodgy food, but unless you stop and ask you will never know.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Well my Ynos notebook lasted 2 years, my mac ppc powerbook is still working well after eight years.
Re: A good opportunity to sell stock at cost and look big'n'caring
Actually, the connector isn't proprietary on the chargers. They may use a non-standard plug on the phone's end, but the other end of the cable is just standard USB. The charger, likewise, just has a standard USB plug, and even Apple's overpriced charger doesn't include a cable. It's just a simple AC to USB power converter.
Won't this just encourage people to buy an ultra cheap knock-off charger just so they can trade it in for a heavy discount on a genuine Apple charger?
I was contemplating doing exactly this! :)
Cheap knock-offs seem to sell for around £6 (incl. postage?).
Apple's charger is £15 -- discounted to £6.50 (before vat?)
if you want to save a pound or two go for it. I have better things to do with my time.
Cheap knock offs are cheap for a reason.
How true
You only have to look at Samsung gear
Re: How true
Doesn't make sense... cheap knock offs are usually worse!
Apple has NEVER done anything for altruistic reasons.
Re: Why?
Quite right Dave and why should they? They're a business, not an individual and businesses exist to make money for shareholders and (erm..ok...) pay taxes. Ok they should pay taxes.
But they aren't being altruistic now - this is business and brand protection. Anyone digging a little will be able to find that the problems are cheap knockoffs but many people are too lazy to dig or look beyond a headline.
And presumably they're trying to protect against expensive repair costs under warranty - assuming they can't prove if a non-genuine charger was used?
Re: Why?
My problem with your reply is that what happens after the offer expires on the 18th of October? There will still be dodgy chargers in use and for sale.
Of course we shouldn't forget that people have lost their lives but, I (being only slightly cynical) would almost expect Apple to be wagging a finger saying look what happens if you don't use genuine Apple products.
Re: Why?
And why shouldn't they, as always in life you get what you pay for. And I was told as a child that you don't touch anything that is electrical with wet hands
Re: Why? @TonyJ
"Quite right Dave and why should they? They're a business, not an individual and businesses exist to make money for shareholders ..." and therein lies the problem with the world we live in. Companies are expected, and indeed required, to act unethically and selfishly, instead of having consideration for the society in which they operate. They attract the most predatory psycho/sociopaths into positions of power and then not only reward them for being bastards, actively encourage others to act the same. Some countries then give them the same legal standing as individuals (USA, I'm looking at you, you silly country), and expect everything to be alright.
What a mess ...
Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
This has precisely nothing to do with knock offs. Bet you money on it. As has been said previously Apple wouldn't know altruism if it tripped over it.
What probably happened is the poor girl picked up her phone with wet hands and got a nice dose of mains electric, straight from the kosher Apple charger. Increased conductivity due to the presence of water was enough to kill her. The chances of Apple admitting any wrong doing are about the same as a cop being charged with murder so they gave the family a fat wad of cash in apology for the murder of their daughter, quietly re designed the charger that killed her and avoided a product recall by doing everyone a ' favour' by replacing theirs while still charging cost price..
Its like watching a bad episode of Columbo.
And would it kill you to stop with the bloody air hostess crap, even if the daily fail can't show any respect it doesn't mean you have to be the same el reg. This is someones daughter, friend, sister you are talking about who died tragically, there was more to her life than the ability not to punch the nth sex obsessed businessman in the face after a long day...
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
A properly designed consumer AC power supply has no electrical connection between the primary (mains) side and the secondary (low-voltage) side of the power supply, which is verified during UL and CE regulatory testing. For example, UL requires toy transforms to pass voltage-withstand testing of about 1.5kVAC for 1 minute after the device has been subject to 90-95% relative humidity for 48 hours.
What probably happened is that the knockoff charger was designed without the proper air-gaps between traces and components, or the transformer provided inadequate isolation between the primary and secondary windings. I would not be surprised if the designer chose to create a non-isolated power supply just to save on component cost.
Apple is most likely offering the trade-in because these knockoffs are designed to look like official Apple product, and therefore hurting Apple's reputation.
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
I wouldnt be so sure if I was you. Apple have been very quiet about this, too quiet for them to be being entirely honest. Yes there is something to what you say but I wonder the effect of the output of a properly working charger applied to wet hair - and right into the poor girls brain? You are also assuming the suppliers are following Apples designs to the letter, wouldnt surprise me if corners have been cut. Unlike other companies they rely on outside suppliers exclusively, funny how you dont hear of Nokias exploding or killing..
People have been cutting Apple far too much slack - and this wonderful 'gesture' is just to try and retain their free ride for product specification and product quality. Someone should do an FOI or similar request on this and other cases. And as for Obama's actions over a private court case?! Apple will continue to sell overpriced crap, unsafe products and legally string up their customers as long as they're allowed to. Want to get any recompense for your daughter being slaughtered by our product - fine, but you'll be letting us whitewash it, yes?
If any other company had repeated deaths, serious injuries, and other issues associated with their product - like Chrysler, VW or Renault-Nissan for example - all hell would break loose and thats not even including the legal gagging involved in obtaining your legal rights! Yet people defend Apple with more vim and vigour than they did the fiddling fathers...
Just think on this before you rail at my Apple unfriendliness... How the hell would you feel if it was your sister who'd died like this? And how would you feel if to get any recompense you had to sign a contract to let them lie about it?
Apple need to change their practices, stop with the legal gagging orders and be honest about their problems and mistakes. If they don't they will be kaput.
Apple, show us proof of what you say happened, be honest for once in your existence... It'll do you good in the long run.
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
Where's your call for Samsung to do the same? Or do you assume the reports of the GS4 setting an apartment on fire were fabricated, just because?
Regardless of whether a real or fake Apple charger was used, anyone dumb enough to use a phone plugged into a charger while taking a bath deserves their fate. Natural selection at work.
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
I am an electrical engineer who has designed high-power AC power supplies that have gone through UL and CE certification. I have no bias for or against Apple, but do care about hardware design.
> ... but I wonder the effect of the output of a properly working charger applied to wet hair...
There is none. An isolated power supply, by definition, cannot pass mains voltage or current to the secondary side of the transformer. UL and CE verify current leakage and voltage isolation at very high humidity on every design that carries their respect marks. Take a look at UL 697 for an example safety standard. At worst, water getting into the phone will cause low-voltage shorts within the device, probably destroying transistors within the various integrated circuits.
> You are also assuming the suppliers are following Apples designs to the letter, wouldnt surprise me if corners have been cut.
Regulatory certification is done with test conditions that far exceed what should be possible in reality, which means suppliers could be quite lax in meeting their specifications and still produce safe products. If Apple or a supplier changed the specification of a component after the final product had been certified, they would be liable for any and all damage caused. I am quite sure there are lawyers already dismantling Apple chargers trying to prove just that.
> Unlike other companies they rely on outside suppliers exclusively...
Almost all companies get their capacitors, inductors, resistors, transformers, switching power supplies, and printed circuit boards from another company. Very few even assemble their own product these days. The bottom line is that all companies basically get their raw components from the same pool of suppliers.
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
Great idea.. Which I fully support. The sole solitary reason I mentioned apple was, oddly enough, because it was an Apple device and ancillaries that killed the poor girl.
If you don't make your own product in your own factory then you cannot attest to its ultimate quality.
More to the point, I still have and still use all of the stock chargers that came with my phones.. Have never ever had to replace one. But then I won't buy Apple & I won't touch Samsung. A coincidence, you decide..
I'm unimpressed with Apple over this.. Alot of companies would have replaced the kit for free and taken the hit (at least until they wrote it off against the next tax period). Its called customer (remember those) relations. Instead they are if you believe manufacturing estimates theyre using a tragic death to make 30% on the nose... Not cool Apple.
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
@Jemma: "... straight from the kosher Apple charger..." Except it wasn't. It was a third party charger, not an Apple charger.
No one hates big US company's more than the Chinese, so if there was a way to stick this to Apple they would have. But the Chinese hate Chinese fraudsters that make junk that kills other Chinese more than anything else.
Re: Yeah right, and my saddlebacks run on Avgas...
> If you don't make your own product in your own factory then you cannot attest to its ultimate quality.
Compared to Apple, I work for small companies, but even we regularly perform on-site audits of all of our major vendors and contract manufacturers. My previous employer of nine years even won a Motorola quality award for consistently providing quality product to them. Managing quality in the supply chain is quite doable, even when sourcing components from half-way around the world.
"discounted price of $10"
$10 is what the things should be selling for normally. If Apple didn't grossly overprice their products, people wouldn't look for lower cost alternatives. Equivalent 5w usb chargers can be found at online retailers for just a few dollars shipped, here in the US. By comparison, Apple's official charger at their online store will set you back $23, including shipping. It's possible that their chargers receive a bit better testing than the off-brands, but they still undoubtedly cost little more than a dollar or two to manufacture. The rest is just markup for the logo printed on them.
This likely has little to do with the charger being "authentic" or not, anyway. According to the family, she apparently got out of the bath to answer a call. Most likely, her hair was still wet, and water ran down the cord and to the outlet, bypassing the charger entirely. Or she may have been plugging it in with wet hands. Whatever the case, Apple is doing little more than turning focus to the supposedly-off-brand charger, in an effort to sell more of their overpriced peripherals. Make people doubt the safety of their existing chargers, and offer a "discount" to trade them in for an official replacement, and they can turn this into a way to profit from the situation.
I saw a blog where an engineer who designs DC power supplies for a living took apart Apple's charger and guessed it would cost $5-$7 to make, and stated it was better designed and built than several other chargers for other contemporary phones (which he didn't identify, presumably to avoid the wrath of haters) which though perfectly safe, had issues with the quality of their power output - apparently if your touchscreen is a bit funky when plugged in, you know your charger outputs crappy power.
He also checked several different type of Apple charger clones and found they all had various issues with either safety or the quality of the power output, and were all worse than the other chargers, as well as the Apple charger. Part of the reason for the cost of the Apple charger is its size, chargers are typically larger and it requires compromises in safety, power quality or cost to make them the size of Apple's. Obviously we know the cloners won't compromise on the latter...
If you want to fault Apple for anything, it should be for making their official charger too small for vanity's sake - if it was a bit bigger it'd be easier for the cheap copies to be properly designed. Not guaranteed, of course, but at least they could obey UL and EU rules for the distance between traces required to isolate the high voltage and low voltage components, and use enough of and the right components to produce clean power at the desired voltage.
Size of Apple chargers
A 2 pin Chinese Star phone charger with usb out is twice the size of an Apple charger.
Re: Size of Apple chargers
The clone I have, and all the ones I've seen, are the same size. You can only tell them apart because the text is a bit different "Designed by Abble", "Designed by California", "Designed by <some hex string>"
I guess they don't want to say Apple to avoid getting sued, though I'm sure there must also some that are identical on the outside floating around - they're probably sold to unsuspecting buyers as the real thing at nearly the price of the real thing.

Crystal Deputy Police Chief Stephanie Fealy said emergency workers still on the scene early today didn't yet know whether other people were on board.
One person was killed when a single-engine plane crashed and burst into flames as it was landing late Tuesday at the Crystal Airport.
Crystal Deputy Police Chief Stephanie Fealy confirmed that one person, apparently the pilot, had died, but said emergency workers still at the scene early to day didn't yet know for sure whether other people had been on board. There were no survivors, she said.
The plane "pretty much" disintegrated on impact as it landed after flying in from the north just after 10 p.m., she said. The airport, which straddles the border between Crystal and Brooklyn Park, typically closes between 10 and 10:30 p.m., Fealy said.
Dave Anderson, who flies a helicopter for KARE 11 television news, told a Star Tribune reporter at the scene that he was inside a hangar when the plane came down, and ran out to see "a ball of flames."
A few minutes after the crash, there was a small explosion in the wreckage that made it hard for emergency responders to approach, he said.
The fire was quickly extinguished. Just after 11 p.m., strands of smoke still rose from the spot where the plane went down, which was circled by emergency vehicles whose flashing lights were reflected in rain puddles.
The weather was "pretty bad" and rainy at the time of the crash, but it was not yet known if that was a factor in the crash, Fealy said.
Fealy and Pat Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which operates the small-craft airport, said other details, such as the pilot's identity and where the plane was coming from, were not available.
Crystal and Robbinsdale police, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department and the West Metro Fire-Rescue District responded to the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, Fealy said.

Robert Heinlein was right to be worried. What if there really is a planet of giant, psychic, human-hating bugs out there, getting ready to hurl planet-busting rocks in our general direction? Surely we would want to know? Luckily, big science projects such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which (when it's fully …
Astronomical Telegrams
Reporting planet-threatening rocks reminds me of the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams - a body whose role has obviously changed greatly since the need for actual telegrams disappeared. I read about it in the Grauniad's obituary of Brian Marsden, who had been its directory for a while (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/nov/23/brian-marsden-obituary). Quite fascinating to imagine telegram boys delivering news of a supernova on paper, 50 years ago!
Milky Way
In what way is the Milky Way "cube shaped"?
Is this a permenant feature of the galaxy?
It's almost as rediculous as the square wheel, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_wheel
Maybe it works in the same way?
I thought there was a badger icon, where'd it go?
I'll have the laser warning sign, cos it's the prettiest.
re. Milky Way
This 'cube' business is a misunderstanding of some kind. Most people know that a Milky Way is a rectangular block with ripples on its upper surface. Those astronomers need to get out more and go to the shops.
Sir Bedivere
...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.
Truly awesome.
There is a project for which I would honestly love to be network administrator. To that lucky sysadmin...whomever you are...this pint's for you!
Where can I get
the processing engine for overclocking? I've a couple of games here...
Milky Way is cube-shaped
Oh Nooes! The milky way is actually a sky-box and we are all living inside a 3d game!
Reminds me of some films
13th Floor springs to mind and even The Matrix.
They're reinventing the wheel
The parallel software framework is already in place and working.
BOINC - Berkeley Open Infrastructure Network Computing
Windows, Linux, Mac; and it's open source, so it can be compiled on about any other platform.
And there are already millions of cores working on various projects.
They might want to get in touch with Pasquale at http://orbit.psi.edu
whose project seems to be working at the same purpose, using available telemetry.
Boinc? Not so much
For 3000 nodes, 6.4GB per 15 seconds, that's around 133KB/sec continuous. I for one couldn't handle ethat big a drain on my internet connection. Boinc's great for heavy number crunching, but this is light number crunchng on huge data sets.
"not so much" ? Maybe because
you're off by a factor of over 1000.
Check out the http://www.allprojectstats.com/top.php page.
On the right, choose -BOINC- and "CPU statistics" from the picklists and click Show to filter down to the top 200 CPU types. Just the top 10 CPU types listed there amount to nearly 3,500,000 cores. (disregarding that some CPUs can do multiple threads per core, and counting only the cores.)
It's not clear if the article is using the perverted definition of a GB (1,000,000,000 bytes, or 10^8), instead of the original definition of a GB: 1,073,741,824 bytes (or 2^30) which ISO has designated with the unit "GiB" so HDD manufacturer's can't co-opt it like they did GB.
Still, even if they mean the larger GiB, it would require about 1.2Mb/s (152KB/s) for 3000 nodes (assuming 1 core per node), but that would fall to 138 Bytes per Sec with 3.5 million nodes, using BOINC. Even a POTS dialup could support the transfers for 25+ cores, at that rate.
Milky Way is cube-shaped?
Matt, can you tell us where you got that information? I am having a great deal of trouble believing it ... or am I being particularly slow at getting the joke?
You missed the joke.
That might get you on the road to understanding, however...
I feared I was just being dumb
and sadly it was so. In my defence it doesn't look like I would have had much chance to see this in the UK - only broadcast on children's daytime TV. But still... hat, coat
software ?
Hm hope they aren't using code generators, those tend to spoil everything (plenty of ugly, dead code etc.).
Also, simply adding more lines of code almost never improves scalability - the fastest code is the one which is not there, as opposed to more of it.
Finally, it often helps, at least to some degree, to reuse code maintained by the wider community. This way you have some load off your head.
What a fascinating project!
I wonder what spin offs will make it into the commercial sector?
Maybe another arm should be added to the project along lines of: commercial application of research work?
Of course...
... some stupid sod will hack it just because it is there or is actually doing something useful.

The sources claim the move is part of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the "Gang of Eight," and other Republicans' effort to push the immigration bill across the finish line. "There are handwritten changes into the bill that have not been distributed to offices," the GOP senate aide said. "This is a pretty shameful process that we expect from Democrats, but not from people on our own side." Examples of these edits to the bill can be seen below:

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
American Electronic Assembly 04-Mar-04
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
555 Winderley PI., Ste. 200
March 4, 2004
Paul F. Roraff, President
American Electronic Assembly
3050 S.W. 14th Place
Boynton Beach, Florida 33426
Dear Mr. Roraff:
During an inspection of your establishment located in Boynton Beach, Florida on January 29-30, 2004, FDA Investigator Sonia M. Monges determined that your establishment is a contract manufacturer of the Asepti-Clave tabletop, steam sterilizer, which is defined as a medical device under section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).
The investigator documented significant violations from the Quality System (QS) Regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 820, and the Medical Device Reporting regulations, Title 21, CFR, Part 803. These violations cause the device you manufacture to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 501(h) [21 U.S.C. §351(h)] and misbranded within the meaning of Section 502(t)(2) [21 U.S.C. §352(t)(2)] of the Act.
The investigator noted the following violations of the QS regulation:
1. Your firm failed to establish and maintain Quality System procedures as required by 21 CFR 820.20(e). There are no established procedures covering corrective and preventive action (CAPA), production/process controls, non-conforming product and complaint handling to ensure that the manufacture of the table, steam sterilizer is conducted in conformance with the Quality System Regulation (FDA 483, Item #1).
2. Your firm failed to establish and maintain procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action as required by 21 CFR 820.100(a). There are no procedures addressing CAPA activities as evidenced by the lack of complaint handling procedures and procedures addressing the identification, documentation, evaluation, segregation, and disposition of non-conforming product (FDA 483, Item #2).
3. Your firm failed to establish procedures for identifying training needs and ensuring that all personnel are trained to adequately perform their assigned responsibilities and that training is documented as required by 21 CFR 820.25(b). Personnel responsible for oversight of manufacturing operations of the Asepti-Clave table, steam sterilizers have not received Quality System Regulation training (FDA 483, Item #4).
Medical Device Reporting (MDR)
Your devices are misbranded within the meaning of section 502(t)(2) in that there was a failure to comply with a requirement prescribed under section 519 of the Act respecting the device as follows:
4. Your firm failed to establish and maintain written MDR procedures as required by 21 CFR 803.17 (FDA 483, Item #3).
This letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies at your facility. It is your responsibility to ensure adherence to each requirement of the Act and regulations. Federal agencies are advised of the issuance of all Warning Letters about devices so that they may take this information into account when considering the award of contracts.
You should take prompt action to correct these deviations. Failure to promptly correct these deviations may result in regulatory action being initiated by the Food and Drug Administration without further notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, seizure, injunction, and/or civil penalties. Additionally, no premarket submissions for Class III devices to which QS regulation deficiencies are reasonably related will be cleared until the violations have been corrected. Also, no requests for Certificates for Products for Export will be approved until the violations related to the subject devices have been corrected.
Please notify this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter, of the steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, including (1) the time frames within which the corrections will be completed, (2) any documentation indicating the corrections have been achieved, and (3) an explanation of each step being taken to identify and make corrections to any underlying systems problems necessary to assure that similar violations will not recur.
Your response should be sent to Timothy J. Couzins, Compliance Officer, Food and Drug Administration, 555 Winderley Place, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida 32751, (407) 475-4728.
Emma Singleton
Director, Florida District

"What a wonderful place! If - like me - you…"
What a wonderful place! If - like me - you visited Beamish 30 years ago, it's changed/expanded/improved a lot since then. Do come on a nice day if you can, don't miss the sweet shop. There's masses and masses to see and do, so make sure you bring lots of energy with you. It doesn't feel crowded even in school holidays, because the site is so massive. But you may have to wait for the trams if it's busy.Read moreLess

"A great family day out all round. There is loads…"
A great family day out all round. There is loads to see and do, from going down a mine to riding on a steam train, seeing animals at the farm or bowling hoops at the school. Plenty to interest our toddler and also adults. Look out for the regular special events too. Entry is relatively expensive if you are only going once, but you pay for a full year so if you live nearby it is great value as it will be free after the first time - and there is definitely more to see than most families would manage in a day.Read moreLess

What a fantastic day out and we didn't manage to get around the whole place so will have to go back.
My two children (7 and 4) were really interested in everything they saw....the drift mine, trams and open top double decker bus rides, the old shops, the people, the school,...just everything...it was well worth the money
just a quick point- we didn't see many signs advertising it until we were really near it(so did worry that my navigational skills had let us down(again))
