Scotland call up Low for Welsh
ESPN Staff
June 8, 2012
Moray Low has been called up in place of the injured Jon Welsh © PA Photos
Scotland prop Jon Welsh has been ruled out of their tour in the southern hemisphere due to a shoulder injury.
With Scotland still revelling in their 9-6 win over Australia on Tuesday, the news of Welsh's injury will come as a blow to Andy Robinson's side. Welsh was on the bench for their match with the Wallabies and Scotland have opted to call up Glasgow Warriors' Moray Low in his place.
But while they are bidding farewell to Welsh, they are welcoming Max Evans to the southern hemisphere. Evans turned out for Castres in last weekend's Top 14 Orange semi-final and following his side's exit from the competition, flew out immediately to take his place within the squad.
Evans now faces a tough ask breaking into the Scotland side but admits that it is out of his hands.
"All I can do is train well and put my hand up for selection," Evans said. "The coaches will decide whatever they see best and I will have to see what happens. Any opportunity to play for Scotland, and any Scotland game missed, is upsetting.
"At the same time, I got to play in the semi-final of the Top 14, which is a first for me as well. There are not too many complaints about that. There was maybe a brief moment when I was not sure if I would be playing against Toulouse [in the semi-final] or Australia, but it was much easier for me to focus on the game with Castres and then if there was any change it would look after itself. I had my bags packed just in case but it was easy to focus on the club game."

Honeywell Backup Generator Question
My Costco has this generator on sale right now & I wanted to get your opinions on if it will fit my needs:
Need for 2 occupants in 3k Sq. ft house - 95% electric except gas stove & gas fireplace - (Sub freezing temps possible):
1) Heat Pump+Air Handler
2) Tankless Water heater (need to keep unfrozen)
3) Microwave (240v) or Toaster Oven
4) Refrigerator
5) A least 1 TV
6) Few to all Lights
7) Computer+Router Modem
Is the 17KW enough to handle this load requirement?
Is the 17KW more suitable for a limited amount of circuits like above vs. whole house backup?
I'm budgeting $3500 for the Unit & 2500 for gas & electric retrofit.
Current location of HVAC outdoor unit, Tankless + kitchen are all on same side of house.
Appreciate any feedback.
Here is a link that might be useful: Honeywell Backup
Not enough info. How big is the HP? Is it an inverter HP? (They start with lower inrush and can run at a, low, constant speed.) Do you actually want to use the water heater or just keep it above freezing? How big is the water heater? You might consider running a point of use, demand heater,but there is no way you can run a 25 kW WH with a 17 kW genset. That size genset might not even handle your heat pump.
Honestly, powering a big demand water heater is going to be very expensive for you because it requires a big power source on demand. A tank type can take a little energy whenever it is available and keep you in warm or hot water. It is like a battery in some respects.
You have a third alternative. You can install a system with more sophisticated load controls. That allows you to prioritize what will run. For example, you could make sure that the refrig runs when ever it needs to cool, but the water heater takes priority over the heat pump. It still won't help much with a big, demand water heater. In order to make it work, every time you turn on a hot water faucet, everything else will need to shut off. (You might not be standing in the dark, but dinner prep will be interrupted, the TV will shut off. It won't be good for the heat pump to shut down a few times a minute either.
@Ionized: More info for you. Feedback?
1) HP is 3 tons Trane XR17 2 stage - not sure if it's an inverter.
2) Tankless WH
(Navien NPE-240A) has a recirculating pump that keeps hot water freeze protection but requires electricity (so unit can periodically fire to keep warm).
3) Not sure if the tankless specs lead you to other conclusion?
That generator should power a 3-ton heat pump-- but it may or may not power the auxiliary electric strip heat which will operate for lengthy periods of time when outside temperatures drop below about 28 degrees and will operate intermittently at higher temperatures.
Your gas logs may suffice for emergency space heating.
The date for the sale to end has already passed.
Thanks bus_driver for feedback. Interesting note by you.
It's a 17KW rebadged Generac so I am not too worry about finding something around same price. ~$3500.
However taking it up to 20KW - would that be able to handle the heat strip & Tankless you think?
If the tankless is gas then its electrical requirements will be rather small. The heat strips could be 10Kw-15kw just by themselves. Without lookiing, the HP might be 4kw-5kw when running but its start up load could be significantly higher.
If by 240v microwave you mean an advantium, those things are around 6Kw-7Kw by themselves (30 amps).

Yes, I gather this will be a crucial talking point with the HVAC & Electrician. However, skimming online I think there are ways to wire the generator or heat pump to handle those hard startup loads: 5-2-1 Hard Start Kit Capacitor. Not sure what it is but...
If by 240v microwave you mean an advantium, those things are around 6Kw-7Kw by themselves (30 amps).
Similar it is a Miele Convection Microwave.
When we do our hierarchy of what gets the load first, we can always sub out this for that - in this case we can use our gas stove oven to heat stuff or even toast bread :)
A hard start kit will only make a small dent in the starting load for the HP. Wiring it differently may help by keeping the heat strips out of the backed-up circuits, but you may notice their absence. An HVAC consult is not likely to help you much unless you are considering a HP replacement. In that case, you will need to find a detail-oriented HVAC pro to help you choose a system (inverter-driven, perhaps) that will play best with a relatively small power source, and have better low-temperature performance so it can heat your home without the need for resistance heat back-up if you get a cold snap. (For all we know, you already have that.)
In the end, you have three choices: First, dumb load shedding (simple transfer panel with auto switch) with a relatively small genset, second a big, dumb genset, third, intelligent load shedding with a relatively small genset.
The first gives you no versatility powering a limited number of loads, limits fuel consumption and limits your investment in expensive genset and switching hardware. The second will have higher fuel consumption because the genset will be running at a low load a great deal of the time, and higher (genset) hardware costs. The third is more expensive from an auxiliary hardware (controls) point of view, but less into a genset. Fuel consumption will be lower. There is a question about the reliability of automatic load shedding vs. a big dumb generator or a dumb auto transfer switch, but it might be only in my mind. Read up about it.
Your decision might depend on how long your outages are. If they are short, fuel is not so much of an issue. Start putting numbers together to see what works best with your needs in mind.
There is a 4th alternative that might or might not make sense from a money standpoint. Maybe someone with more hardware experience can be a guide. You get a relatively small genset with an automatic transfer panel supplying your critical loads for when you are absent, heat pump, water heater and refrigerator). Have a second genset attachment to your main panel with a manual transfer switch or lock-out. When you are home, you manage your loads yourself after disconnecting the genset, and reconnecting at the main panel. That might mean turning off your heat pump when you want to do much of anything else.
Thank you ionized. You've given me a lot of good discussion points to speak to the sales & install team of my choosing.
I think if push comes to shove, we may be able to live without heat, since we have pretty good gas fireplace that can stand-in until power comes back up (albeit a short term).
But in the summer A/C is a deal killer if it is not on.
Anyways - I understand dumb load shedding but intelligent load shedding seems like the best way forward & will be a main driver in my research & execution of this project.
Thanks again for the tips!

I just wanted to thank you for your fast service in shipping my order, it was here within two days. I have also found that your prices are lower than most of the craft stores in and around my town, which I am also thankful for. I am disabled and money is short--every penny counts. So far you have had anything I've needed and shopping online is much better than driving around from store to store, looking for a parking place and waiting in line to fight the traffic back home. Thanks!!!

The first eye shadow that stays on my lids flawlessly all day wothout loosing its luster and without starting to look dull. And I did not even wear a base! My Chanel and Dior shadows did NEVER manage this well( I sold them and now I wear Cover Girl shadows exclusively) Nor did Revlon wet/dry that everyone loved. But I have discovered that mostly those products that everybody seems to pretty much hate works so well for me. I am fair so I dont need that much color. There are some colors that are much worse and hopeless to work with but luckily I can read the product reviews here to avoid the bad apples. And these work so well when moistened. I can safely say its HG. And I have tried a lot!

Argh... the case CRACKED while in my purse, so then the cakes broke apart and got all over EVERYTHING! Bright side about its lack of staying power is that at least it came out of my carpet. One of the hinges on the lid is also broken. One of the sponges is coming off its tip, as well. So that's a 1 for packaging quality.
I bought (on sale) the Ice Princess quad, which has a frosty lilac, light blue, medium blue-violet, and a dark blue-violet. I like that they give you a range of shades, from light to dark. It's true that none of them show up very much; the 2 darkest shades, the ones I actually try to use, usually end up as sheer tints. I usually layer a lot to build up richer colour, but it's still fairly sheer. It can be a nice effect; I would buy a single pan of a really dark or bright shade to get the sheerness, if I didn't know that the case would break on me.
I would recommend using sponge applicators as opposed to brushes with these, just to get them to show up better. I used a gorgeous new brush, one I'd bought because I was so impressed with the way it picked up shadow, on the CG shadows and it barely did anything.

I am kind of obsessed with eye shadow, so I've bought a lot of them, but I always go back to Covergirl. So many colors! Great for matching outfits. The colors also stay on for a long time. I'm not a big fan of caking the color on. I just want a thin layer, so they're best for that. If you want heavy colors, you might want to look elsewhere.

Tacky and chalky. Not a very high quality powder and I didn't much care for the colors. Also, the glitter is too obvious and the powder cakes crack too easily. Yuk.

This is another Cover Girl product that you shouldn't waste money on, because not worth the pocket change. This product lacks proper pigmentation, and the blending is chalky. You really have to DIG into this stuff to get any color WHATSOEVER!
There are better eyeshadows out there than this stuff, seriously!
Just put this down and move on to something better...

Hmmm. I like these sometimes and other times hate them. There is a nice selection of colors, singles, trios, and quads. I have tried alot of them, but mostly the natural ones. Platina, a medium silver color, is my favorite. It seems to show up the best out of all of them.The pigment is not really all that good, like others said. It takes alot of this to show up. But it's $3, so you can't expect much. The packaging is really ugly and cheap looking as well. But when you want a cheap shadow this will do.

I left all of my good m/u at home going to work so this is one of five items I bought at CVS. I can't go to work without m/u!
I use to use covergirl products in highschool. The packaging got really bad since I last used this line.
I can definitely tell the quality difference between this and dept store m/u. You have to really, REALLY pack this e/s on to see color. Pigmentation is very weak. This is good for teens just starting out with makeup or people with limited funds. continued >>

What can I say? I despise CoverGirl. Of all the products of theirs that I have tried (and believe me, I've tried a lot..) the eyeshadows seem to be the worst. I put on "Pink Chiffon" one time, and when I looked in the mirror not 20 minutes later, it was GONE! Upon close inspection I noticed major creasing and that the only colorful bits left were dry, itchy little crumbs. The applicator irritated my eyelids and so did the shadow. A few weeks later I decided to give the brand another chance, with the "Cafe Au Lait" Trio. Again, it looked beautiful when I first put it on, but faded quickly, leaving only a few glaring shimmer specks. I suppose they mean it when they say "Eye Enhancers"...these shadows do sort of help to enhance your eyes subtly, but that fresh-faced preppy look really isn't for me. I'm into more dramatic, colorful shadows. Maybe CG would be fine for some people, but for me I need a whole lot more pigment and staying power, and the irritation just isn't worth it...why should I have to put up with crap from my cosmetics? ^__^ Plus, the cheap-looking package was kind of a turnoff, and it broke easily. Back to the drawing board!

These eye shadows are fun to use. There is always a great selection to choose from and the price is pretty cheap. Many times I find these on sale so I stock up. They really do last a long time and the packaging works well since they come in a little plastic case. ( Great for purse) I usually buy the purple/lilac shades since they blend really well with other eye shadows. So, I would definitly say I've had good luck with this product and will certainly buy again.

I like these eyshadows because they come in an awesome variety of textures (matte, sparly, metallic, etc) and they always look great. They also stay longer than other shadows I've used. I love how they can easily be layered up and the colour selection is absolutely fabulous!

Photographing your pets can be a fun experience as there are so many unique ways to capture them. Pets are more stalwart photographic subjects than kids, or grownups for that matter. - Garrett Hoelscher
Photographing Pets Page 2
Formal Portraits
Some people prefer a more formal portrait of their pet, often within a studio setting. In this case, try a head and shoulders depiction of the animal looking into the camera. This is when you'll want to work closely with the owner in posing the animal and positioning it against the backdrop that you've chosen. The ideal situation is a trained dog, which will sit or stay on command.
Try to set up your shot in advance. You'll get cleaner lines and less clutter by removing the animal's collar and leash. On the other hand, some people enjoy pictures of small, long-haired dogs with ribbons in their hair, a kitten in a basket, or a pet dressed up in a funny costume--it's all up to you or the pet's owner.
Candid Shots
The secret is to have your camera ready at all times, and be ready to shoot at a moment's notice. If your cat enjoys curling up near a particular window, or your dog likes to romp in the backyard, you can often anticipate a pet's endearing behavior and plan ahead to capture it with your camera. Don't overlook props; you can get some great action shots of your dog leaping to catch a Frisbee, or a kitten pouncing on a toy. The animal will be stimulated by the activity, and you'll get some colorful, interesting images at the same time.
A clean, well-groomed subject will always yield better results. Examine the corners of the pet's eyes, and gently remove any tear matter. Also, watch out for drool that is common with some dog breeds. Keep a small towel handy to wipe up around the dog's mouth whenever necessary.
4 Tips For Perfect Pet Photos
· Use a telephoto lens to move in close and a wide angle lens to show the animal in its environment.
· Use fill flash to get catchlights in the animal's eyes.
· Shoot both formal portraits and candid images for variety.
· Make sure the animal is well-groomed before shooting pictures.

Thank you for providing this great and interesting post!I like taking photos with pets and I have a nice photo album with my dog.My sister recommended me to Join the social network for pets at PetNetWorld.com as there are some great photos with pets.
These photos are great! I like animals a lot and I had three cats and a little dog.Now I am living in Australia and here are some nice animals very different of those from U.S.Kangaroos are the Australias endangered animals and I took a lot of photos with these animals.
Pets are the best friends that someone can have. This is why I am taking care of my little dog and I love it a lot. I've recently taken it to a dog boot camp and we had a great time there.
This is a great post! Since I was a child I like pets a lot and I've always dreamed to go to the veterinary school and to cure animals. My dream came true and now I am working at the Horizon Animal Hospital. I am very satisfied of my job and I am treating many dogs and cats every day.
As providers of personal protection dogs we will definitely take on board the tips here. We do a majority of our business online at ppk9 so a decent picture will go a long way to help us here.

We stayed in a 2 bedrooms villa with a private swimming pool. We all know that websites usually don't tell you the truth , so I was a bit sceptical about it. Just brilliant from the moment we went to check in to our last goodbye.
You are immersed in beautiful old gardens, with the most amazing old trees from all around the world, flowers, bushes. The restaurants are superb, though expensive, obviously if you like quality you have to pay!! so...no complains. The service from all the staff is top class quality, the best of andalucian people, not like the others... no rudeness, no answer back, name it! Our tips before we left were very generous indeed, from the beach boys, to the cleaners. We stayed 7 days, and could relax by the beach...if you like to work from the beach the wifi is so strong you can even sit at the end of the pier and work or call your friends from there!!. Beaches as you may know, are not great, as Andalucía doesn't have the sand you are looking for, but the water is clean and fresh. You could walk along the path by the beach to Puerto Banus, or Marbella to the other end if you are looking for some fun, though the hotel, also offer a range of activities for all age group. Puente Romano is their sister hotel, 3 minutes walk. You could use their facilities and the sea grill restaurant by the beach is a must!! be aware of the big size portions!! always share!. We will go back.

And another thing.
Submitted by anothernobody on Mon, 05/06/2013 - 09:35. Permalink
These false Christians say that GOD is directing peoples lives and causing these things to happen. How absurd! GOD did not cause Americans to reject Him and He didn't cause Arabs to fly planes into the trade center so that Americans would quit rejecting Him.
These are the kind of false Christians who want to blame everything on GOD so that they can justify themselves in their own eyes. These are the ones who will say "Lord, Lord" and talk about all they have done for Him but they will be rejected by Him. "There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

If you own pets, then you're probably aware that their waste can be hard on your landscaping. Dead grass and brown spots can be a common and unwelcome result when your lawn doubles as a pet potty.
At first you may notice some spots on your lawn looking especially green as the nitrogen acts as a fertilizer for your grass, but as it accumulates you'll start to notice the dog waste is actually killing it. This "urine burn" effect is from the nitrogen found in your pet's waste. "Most of the effects are from either concentrated urine or feces, with a high concentration of wastes overloading the lawn," says Dr. Steve Thompson, clinical associate professor at
Purdue University's College of Veterinary Medicine and director of the Pet Wellness Clinic.
According to Dr. Thompson, this is the same thing that occurs when you apply too much fertilizer in one spot. The problem gets worse during dry spells, when grass is already stressed.
Luckily there are a number of ways you can prevent your lawn from going to the dogs (literally). Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you want to stop pet waste from burning your grass.
Add water. Dr. Thompson recommends adding water to dry pet food to dilute your pet's urine, causing it to have more of a fertilizer effect and less of a burn on some grasses. "Also frequently spray water on the areas of the lawn where your pet is going, if not the whole lawn, to try and dilute some harmful parts of the urine," says Jacob D'Aniello, cofounder and CEO of
Remove poop promptly. D'Aniello says the most important way to prevent
poop problems is to pick it up in a timely manner so it doesn't have time to sit on your lawn and harm the grass as it breaks down. Ideally pet owners should pick up waste as soon as it's deposited, but a minimum weekly cleanup is recommended. According to D'Aniello, the best method of disposal is scooping the poop and immediately trashing it.
Be thoughtful about lawn care. "You should fertilize your lawn less or avoid fertilizing it in the area where your
dog urinates to avoid overfertilization and burn," D'Aniello says. He also suggests visiting a neighborhood home garden store and finding out which grass types in your area are the most resistant to pet waste. If there's a type of grass that won't be as sensitive to your pet's pottying, try planting that in the spot where your
dog relieves himself.
Designate a spot for Spot to go. Contain the effects of your pet's waste by trying to get him to go potty in just one area. D'Aniello says there are some products that use pheromones to encourage your
dog to pee in or near that area. Try using these to save the rest of your lawn and, again, avoid fertilizing these parts. You can also try having a marking post with mulch or pea gravel to give dogs a place to go without grass; this should limit the chances of burn, according to Dr. Thompson.
If you notice your grass dying due to your pet's waste, there are some ways to help it recover.
"Watering the grass right after the dog urinates…will also dilute the urine and get a fertilizer effect rather than a burn effect," says Dr. Thompson. "Usually urine burn will require sod or reseeding [of the area]." D'Aniello also recommends replacing the soil to help grass regrow.
By remaining vigilant in your lawn care and aware of where pets are relieving themselves, it is possible to protect and repair your lawn from the ill effects of pet waste.

Starbucks to trial wireless tabletop charging over holiday season
Coffee-drinking Bostonians may be in for a pleasant surprise the next time they pop into a Starbucks. Boston.com reports that the cafe chain is to install Duracell Powermats at 17 coffee shops for a limited trial in and around the city which will some visitors to charge their mobile devices without need of a power cable.

Researchers charge cars with "remote magnetic gears"
Wireless charging systems seem like an easy way to keep electric cars running. You just drive up to a charge point and let the system beam power to your battery without ever having to step out into the cold and rain. However, these systems require high-frequency electromagnetic fields that can interfere with electronics and pose potential health hazards. To keep the hands-free advantages of wireless, yet get rid of the high-frequency fields, physics professor Lorne Whitehead and his team at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed an electromechanical vehicle charger that uses "remote magnetic gears"s instead of electrical coils Read More
TDK bluetooth speaker wirelessly charges your phone
TDK showed off several wireless speakers at IFA 2012 last week, but it looks like the company wasn't done with new products in its "Life on Record" line just yet. The company recently unveiled a new Wireless Charging Speaker that could simplify the process of streaming audio through your phone. Aside from playing high quality sound through Bluetooth, the speaker can simultaneously charge any mobile device resting on top of it through an induction charge pad. Read More

Wireless charging technology is quickly gaining attention from many mobile device manufacturers, and with good reason. Eliminating the need for a charging cable would offer a huge convenience across the board, and some of the products on the market like LG's WPD-800 and the Powermat have already drawn quite a bit of attention. Now Intel has stepped up to announce plans for a new technology that will not only allow one mobile device to be charged by another with a built-in charger (such as a laptop), but also won't require the two devices even be touching to do so. Along with Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT), Intel hopes to develop a chipset by early 2013 that will charge a smartphone through a laptop that sits a short distance away. Read More

Not only are quadrotors fun, they're useful for applications like surveillance and are even showing promise in building construction. Here's a practical use we hadn't thought of though - remote wireless charging.

The roboticists see this as a solution for powering devices that are otherwise inaccessible to conventional electrical sources. Read More
We've eagerly followed the evolution of the wireless charging technology for mobile devices here at Gizmag, from its very early incarnations right through to the very latest developments. Even though you can't really argue with the potential usefulness of such solutions, they've almost universally been restricted to home or office use and not where most of our device batteries actually let us down - out on the road. Chrysler's Mopar Division has developed a wireless charging system that sits in the central console of a car, which juices up the battery of any mobile device placed on the mat. The technology is to make its debut in the forthcoming 2013 Dodge Dart. Read More
LG's WPD-800 turns wireless charging on its side
Wireless charging of mobile devices is all the rage if the number of wireless chargers hitting the market is anything to go by. Until now, most of the units on offer follow the flat slab design ushered in by the Powermat and WildCharge that sees recharging devices laid down flat on the charger. LG followed that form factor with its WCP-700 Wireless Charging Pad but has come up with something slightly different for its successor, the WCD-800. The new unit is designed to hold the mobile device upright so you can watch a video or make a video call while the charger goes about its business. Read More
If you live in a traffic-nightmare city like New York or London or Bangkok, an ultra-compact urban electric car is great. They're so tiny that they fit in the smallest parking space, they're quiet, they're often exempt from congestion charges and they're tailpipe emission free, which is important if you live where the air is so dirty that it's visible. Unfortunately, they also have all the boot space of a glove box and the travel radius of a tortoise in a hurry. Unless you have the ideal lifestyle that allows you to work within the vehicle's limitations, there will come the time when you'll need to carry more than a messenger bag or drive farther than a single battery charge. When that happens, you'll probably wish you had some way to magically add an extra boot or a bigger battery. Rinspeed's Dock+Go concept car looks forward to a day when that may be possible. Read More

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
06 Aug 2012 19:56 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Israel
Egypt's military has pledged to hunt down those behind the killing of its 16 soldiers at a checkpoint along the Sinai border with Israel.
It described on Monday the attackers as "enemies of the nation" who must be dealt with by force and suggested they were Sinai-based Egyptian fighters who received Palestinian support from the Gaza Strip.
Security and military officials said at least two helicopter gunships arrived in the border town of El-Arish on Monday to join the hunt.
Israel, meanwhile, stepped up pressure on Egypt to clamp down on the lawless border region.
Israel says its aircraft killed eight fighters who broke through the border after the killings.
Egyptian officials have said six attackers were killed.
Fighters blamed
A statement by the Egyptian armed forces said 35 armed fighters took part in the attack, suggesting that close to 30 of them may be on the run.
"There is increased security along the border area following the attack," Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh said. "The entire border area has been sealed with very heavy security on all the roads leading up to Sinai and not just the border area."
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the Sinai attack.
Egypt and Israel say both Islamist fighters from the Sinai and Palestinian allies from the Gaza Strip are active in northern Sinai, attacking both Egyptian security forces and staging raids across the border into Israel.
The Egyptian armed forces' statement suggested that groups on both sides of the border may have been involved.
"The armed forces have been careful in the past months and during the events of the [Egyptian] revolution [in 2011] not to shed Egyptian blood ... but the group that staged yesterday's attack is considered by the armed forces as enemies of the nation who must be dealt with by force," it said.
In the first direct indication that the attackers may have had the help of Palestinian fighters, the military's statement said "elements from the Gaza Strip" aided the attackers by shelling the Egyptian-Israeli border crossing of Karam Abu Salem with mortars as the attack was taking place.
Earlier on Monday, Mohamed Morsi, the Egyptian president, pledged that he will retake control of the Sinai.
"I have given clear orders to all of our security forces, the armed forces as well as the interior police, to move swiftly in capturing those behind this vicious attack," he said in a television address early on Monday.
"This incident will not go lightly. The security forces will implement entire control over all of these areas within Sinai and will ensure they are controlling it. Those behind the attacks will pay a high price as well as those who have been co-operating with those attackers, be it those inside or anywhere in Egypt."
A senior security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak to reporters, said seven other guards were wounded in the attack.
He said the attackers seized an armoured vehicle before driving away.
Israeli reaction
Israel said the attackers commandeered two Egyptian vehicles and tried to storm its border.
One of the vehicles exploded and the second was targeted by Israeli aircraft, Avital Leibovich, a military spokeswoman, said.
Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minister, said that eight of the attackers had been killed. He said the raid showed need for "determined Egyptian action" to impose security and "prevent terror in Sinai".
Brigadier-General Yoav Mordechai, an Israeli military spokesperson, said on Monday that intelligence services had received reports of a planned attack beforehand and were "prepared for it".
Akiva Eldar, the chief political correspondent for the Israeli daily Haaretz, told Al Jazeera "the Israelis are in a way quite happy that the Egyptians have learnt their lesson, that they have to listen to us, and have had to pay the price", with Morsi having to work with the Israeli authorities to ensure this does not happen again.
"The message from the Israelis," Eldar said, "is that 'we cannot trust anyone ... we cannot afford to give away the responsibility of the security of our people to anyone'."
In a statement, Hamas, the Palestinian group controlling Gaza, condemned the attack, calling it an "ugly crime" and extended "deep condolences to the families of the victims and to the leadership and the people of Egypt".
Lucrative tourist income
Taher al-Nono, a Hamas spokesperson, said that the group was temporarily closing all tunnels along the border with Egypt immediately.
The Sinai is home to Egypt's Red Sea resorts, a source of lucrative tourist income, and is also where the country's Bedouin, who were long marginalised under the rule of fallen president Hosni Mubarak, are based.
Before the July attack in Sheikh Zuwaid, a town roughly 15km west of the Gaza Strip, the fighters had distributed pamphlets calling on the army, brought in to restore security, to leave the lawless north of the peninsula.
The military sent tanks and soldiers into the region last year to quell Islamist fighters, after receiving permission from Israel.
Under a 1979 peace treaty with Israel, Egypt should have a limited military presence in the area.

H3T Architects have designed a number of unique saunas including the 'Flying Sauna' that hangs below a bridge and accessed via the river underneath. Their latest sauna is a portable version made from light and durable materials with a translucent cover to let in natural daylight. A wood-fired stove situated at the front of the sauna provides the heat and expels its smoke through a tiny protruding chimney. The wooden benches inside are compact, functional and amazingly long enough to accomodate 6 people — although 4 would be more comfortable. An elastic membrane on the end keeps the heat in and provides access in and out of the sauna.
Completed, early in 2011, Bicycle Sauna Kolonik is dedicated to the cyclists of Prague "who have to prove constantly that they are spirited enough to adopt this non-standard way of transportation around the city." The idea was to have a mobile sauna that was lightweight enough to tow by bike and take to the river or lake to socialize with friends and relax. The Kolonik is a new and unconventional social tool that interacts with its immediate site. If you're in Prague, you can check it out in person at Bajkazyl, a community bike shop.

The car industry is always open to the advancement of technology. Not only because the car remains one of the most popular and necessary products in the world, but because the general decline in car sales has pushed many manufacturers to become more innovative.
This is demonstrated by the exhibitions at this year's Paris Motor Show, which runs until October 14th.
Laurent Meillaud, Automotive expert, said:
"Clearly today the trend is electric cars or hybrid cars. A few years ago – during the last car show -they were only concept cars, today these vehicles are on the road. But the recharging terminals for them are not common, which is a bit strange. However, these cars are in renting companies and used by people who car share. It's not the car for everyone though."
Hybrid and fully electric cars are gradually becoming more popular. And it's not just small city-cars. There are some car companies who focus on sports cars driven by 100 percent electric power – a true supercar – the costs are so high that currently these types of vehicles are only made for order.
"The technology has evolved enormously in recent years. The price of petrol will triple by 2018 so its important for the advancement in this area. Today the technology is available but at a cost because you have to use batteries which come directly from special technology used for satallites," said
Luc Marchetti, President of Exagon Motors.
"So the production costs are really important. Considering the engine a few years ago the efficientcy was about 80 per cent, today with the engine we use the efficientcy is about 98 per cent," he added.
Another area of new advancement is the use of information technology in cars. And it's not only the ultra-luxury gadgets such as those found in the Bentley Mulsanne.
"The connected car is really the next big step. You have a touch screen and thanks to a 3G key you have access to Internet services that give you real-time weather, traffic information and a lot of services usually found on a computer but now you can have them in your car, in a format that does not distract the driver but gives real-time information," said Laurent Meillaud.
Among the manufacturers who have adopted this technology is Renault. The company have introduced touch screens to their Clio and Zoe models.
Patrick Vergelas, Renault's Cross-car Line Projects Director said:
"Here you have room for 3 icons (here there are only two, there is one double) so these icons can be configured by the customer who can use what he wants in terms of functionality and go directly to them. For example, here is 'Driving Eco 2', an application developed by Renault to enable our clients to improve the use of their vehicle."
Patrick Vergelas added:
"So in fact the system is a multimedia system with navigation – digital music for your players, telephone, car functions such as 'Driving Eco 2' that we just saw and service applications; and here you have access to the 'R-link store' which allows you to access applications and load them to your vehicle. You may also find applications for fuel prices, it will tell you the cheapest petrol station on your route. It can also tell you where to find services."
The attractiveness of cars will be measured not only in terms of style and performance, but also in terms of innovation.
euronews correspondent Giovanni Magi said:
"The use of new technology encounters obstacles to overcome, such as the still excessive costs of electric cars with high performance. But the road to the car of the future has already been taken."
