Apple is committed to addressing climate change, to developing green materials for safer products, and to using materials as efficiently as possible. In June 2013, Apple CEO Tim Cook appointed Lisa Jackson as Vice President of Environmental Initiatives. The Office of Environmental Initiatives works with teams across Apple to set strategy, engage stakeholders, and communicate progress.
Apple's Board of Directors oversees the CEO and other senior management in the competent and ethical operation of Apple on a day‑to‑day basis and ensures that the long‑term interests of shareholders are being served. The Vice President of Environmental Initiatives reports to the CEO. Our integrated approach means that decisions about environmental issues are reviewed at the highest levels of the company. Executive Team members regularly review each new product during its development, focusing on material and design choices, the supply chain, packaging, and product energy efficiency.
Apple uses five steps when conducting a product life cycle analysis (LCA):
Data collection starts with measuring the power consumed by a product while it is running under a simulated use scenario. Different scenarios are used for different product lines. For example, we assume a four‑year average use period for Mac computers. To be conservative, we also assume an office scenario use pattern for every computer shipped and apply that use pattern to 365 days of use per year. For handheld products, such as iPod, iPad, and iPhone, we assume a three‑year use period. For these products, charging patterns are defined according to a "power user," which we define as intense daily use over a three‑year period. More information on our product power modes is provided in our Product Environmental Reports.
The second step is a part‑by‑part measurement of the entire product. This helps us accurately measure the size and weight of the components and materials in the product. Since a single product can contain several hundred parts, this step is supported by double‑checking individual part details with the product's bill of materials. We include material and component yield loss during production as part of this process. We also account for the transportation of materials between manufacturing sites. Production emissions for external accessories, such as keyboards and mice, and packaging are also included in this step.
The third step assesses emissions from transportation of finished products to sales regions. Data is collected on single units and multipack units of product shipments as they are transported over land, by sea, and by air. The majority of the product transportation emissions are associated with getting the products from Asia to sales distribution hubs in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The final leg of transport between regional hubs and individual customers is accounted for using an overall adjustment factor.
The fourth step of the product life cycle measurement is the collection and recycling of the product when it reaches the end of its useful life. Transportation between customers and recycling plants along with the treatment steps carried out by the recycler to obtain metal, plastic, and glass material streams are all accounted for in this calculation. Subsequent processing and smelting steps are not included, as these are considered stages of production and not end‑of‑life processing.
After we collect all the data, the final step is to run the product data model in our LCA tool and compile detailed results for greenhouse gas emissions as they relate to the product. The data and life cycle model used in the tool are checked for quality and accuracy by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany.
Yes. We engage in third‑party verification for our carbon emissions reporting. The World Resource Institute (WRI)/World Business Council for Sustainable Developments (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas Protocol was used in the calculations.
Bureau Veritas (BV), a global leader in conformity assessment and certification services, provided reasonable assurance, one of the highest in the verification industry for our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. It is the opinion of BV that the information in our greenhouse gas emissions report is accurate and reliable. See the BV statement here.
Scope 3 carbon emissions related to our products, calculated using life cycle assessment, are checked for quality and accuracy by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, in accordance with the internationally recognized ISO 14000 environmental management standards: ISO 14040 and 14044.
Yes. Environmental performance data covering energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste production is provided in the 2014 Environmental Responsibility Report (PDF).
Apple first achieved ISO 14001 certification for a manufacturing site in 1996. ISO 14001 is a voluntary international standard that establishes the requirements for an organization's environmental management system (EMS). The ISO 14001 standard helps a company manage the environmental impact of its operations in a systematic way that is integrated with overall business management processes.
Yes. Apple's Regulated Substances Specification details a broad range of substances that are restricted or banned from use in Apple products, packaging, and manufacturing.
Learn more about our efforts to reduce or eliminate harmful toxins.
Apple is in compliance with the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, which restricts the use of lead and other substances. As a result of our precautionary approach to substances, Apple phased out lead in plastic parts, paint, and packaging material long before the RoHS Directive came into effect.
In addition, all Apple products comply with Vietnamese Circular 30/2011/TT-BCT, regulating lead and other substances in electronic products.
Ngoài ra, tất cả các sản phẩm Apple đều tuân thủ Thông tư số 30/2011/TT-BCT của Việt Nam quy định về hàm lượng chì và các chất độc hại khác trong các sản phẩm điện tử.
Apple defines a material as BFR‑free and PVC‑free if it contains less than 900 parts per million (ppm) of bromine and of chlorine. The 900‑ppm limit is one of the strictest in the electronics industry and a concentration lower than the ban on lead in the European RoHS Directive. Since BFRs and PVC need to be present in much higher quantities to be effective, most materials that contain less than 900 ppm bromine and chlorine do not have any detectable levels of bromine or chlorine present.
Apple's phaseout of BFRs and PVC covers all parts of new Apple product designs manufactured after December 31, 2008. The iPad, iPod, and iPhone are examples of products that are BFR‑free and PVC‑free. While Apple's phaseout will cover the vast majority of products and components, older product designs, replacement parts, and accessories for older product designs may not be fully BFR‑free and PVC‑free.
The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation EC 1907/2007, commonly referred to as REACH, is a European regulation on chemicals and their safe use. With the publication of candidate lists for authorization, the European Chemicals Agency identifies sets of substances of very high concern (SVHC) that manufacturers must disclose to customers if used in their products above 0.1 percent.
Based on the current version of the candidate list for authorization, Apple products do not contain SVHC above 0.1 percent.
No ozone‑depleting substances (ODCs) are used in any processes to manufacture components, materials, or product packaging materials used by Apple, as stipulated by the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer.
Apple is committed to protecting the environment, health, and safety of our employees, customers, and the global communities in which we operate. For more information, read our Environmental Health and Safety Policy statement (PDF).
Apple offers free recycling of packaging from Apple products for education, business, and government customers. Contact your Apple sales representative for more information.

|FloridaSafePools.com Launches New Water Safety Campaign
|FloridaSafePools.com launched its new water safety campaign just in time for one of the most potentially dangerous weekends of the year for young children around backyard pools.
Each year in Florida we lose too many young children to drowning - the equivalent of FOUR preschool classrooms, an average of 74 children in each of the last 10 years. That's 744 children in Florida who did not live to celebrate their 5th birthdays.
"Keeping children safe around pools is our goal, and FloridaSafePools.com is Tampa Bay's best resource for helping parents reach that goal," said Wendy Loomas, campaign co-chair.
The FloridaSafePools.com campaign focuses on the "layers of protection" needed around a backyard pool to keep young children from getting or falling into the pool in the first place. The website details the four layers, how much each costs, and what parents should have or look for at any pool their child might be near.
Speakers included a parent and her son, who nearly died from drowning and representatives from Suncoast Safe Kids Coalition, All Children's Hospital, the Pinellas Fire Chief's Association, the Florida Swimming Pool Association, the Pool Guard Safety Foundation, and rescue personnel from throughout Pinellas County.
FloridaSafePools.com is sponsored by Suncoast Safe Kids Coalition and All Children's Hospital. It is funded in part by the Florida Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) matching funds grant.

[caption id="attachment_165271" align="alignright" width="251" caption="Click on slide show to meet the interns"][/caption]
First American Financial Corp. got an overwhelming response when it expanded its summer internship program this year.
The title insurance giant doubled the number of positions and hit five college career fairs on recruiting tours.
The result: 490 applications for the 27 internships it offered.
Today, the lucky -- and exceptional -- students who got those coveted positions are busy working at First American offices in Orange and San Bernardino counties, doing legal analysis, market research and revamping the firm's social media practices.
To prepare, First American trained its supervisors in mentoring students and created a program of weekly classes on such topics as the real estate industry, interviewing techniques and office etiquette.
"I think today, any paycheck is good," observed Mark Seaton, a former First American intern who now works as the company's senior vice president of finance. "(But) to come in and see how a business works is a great experience for them."
[rssfeedme cat="lansner" feedpath="/category/insider-qa/feed/" max="6"]
First American is not alone in expanding its internships.
Summer jobs for students are on the rise, and most likely, internships are more plentiful as well, according to one jobs expert.
U.S. employers offered teens more than 1 million summer jobs this year so far, up 20% from the same period a year ago, according to an analysis of government data by global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas of Chicago. Teen summer hiring is at the highest level since 2007, the firm says.
CEO John A. Challenger said that increase likely translates into more summer internships as well.
"It's been a strong year, and internships have been a piece of that," he said. "Hiring is going up because companies don't want to keep their pipelines dry. … Internships are a great way for companies (to do) hiring down the road."
Here now is a look at some of the First American interns of 2012, along with their impressions of their summer employment so far. Click on the slide show to meet more First American interns:
Kim Brouder, 30, of San Bernardino, an entrepreneurial management grad from Cal State University, San Bernardino. She also had a minor in psychology.
Brouder works in the Trustee Sale Guarantee group in First American's Rancho Cucamonga office, doing title searches, research on trustee sales and preparing warning letters for homeowners facing foreclosure, among other things. She runs her own business as an event hostess as well.
"I got into this internship because I wanted to expand my knowledge and improve my skills. … I'm doing something new. I really took on this challenge to say I can do something different and excel at it."
Madison Scott, 18, of Laguna Beach, a psychology and communications major at UC Santa Barbara.
Scott has been assigned to the corporate marketing office and is working on a couple of projects. One is to create profiles of First American clients, including domestic and international real estate agents and home builders. The other is a joint project to find ways First American can expand its use of social media.>

As with the seven deadly spiritual sins, you can find someone who will argue that each of the coding sins is the worst of the seven. We won't argue that any of the sins is the worst, but we do believe Bugs and Potential Bugs is the most urgent. That's because this sin represents things that are going wrong in your code today or that may go wrong tomorrow. An unconditional null pointer dereference is a prime example of a bug (hopefully the urgency is self-evident). Potential bugs are a bit more subtle, but no less important.
Instances of this sin are tracked with the issues mechanism. Typically bugs and potential bugs will show up as Blocker or Critical issues, although that's fully configurable. Coding Standards Breach infractions are also tracked as issues, although typically at lower severities. Instances of the other sins can optionally also be tracked using the issues mechanism (which offers some distinct advantages).
To monitor potential bugs, add the Issues and Technical Debt widget to your project dashboard if it's not there already:
Use the differential views to monitor new issues.
You can set your coding standards (active coding rules, severity, etc.) through the Quality Profiles administration page.

Are Dogs Smarter Than Cats?the daily dish
A recent Wall Street Journal essay has dredged up the old argument once again. The essay decidedly favors dogs when it comes to comparing their intelligence to cats, and canines seem to have science backing up their argument.

Traditionally, the cat's curiosity and sly independence have been considered by many to indicate a superior intelligence. Their apparent lack of great need for attention or approval makes them appear able to live life quite well mostly on their own, and therefore they may seem smarter than dogs. After all, cats don't need their owners to usher them outside just to be able to use the "bathroom," unlike dogs.
But the WSJ argues that science has shown on numerous occasions all the ways that dog brains beat out cat brains. A 2004 University of Portsmouth study showed the ability of dogs to use reason, understanding of human language and process of elimination to make decisions in a way that far outstripped almost all other animals, let alone cats. Other studies in recent years, at the University of Moncton in Canada and the University of Hungary, observed dogs' superior memory, and their ability to copy human problem-solving techniques in certain situations.
As for a cat's independence, a 2010 Oxford University study showed that it's precisely the cat's independent nature that holds it back intellectually, reports OpposingViews.com. The study found that social animals evolve bigger brains, and evolve them at a faster rate, than less social animals. Dogs, being among nature's most social animals, and bred over time to be "man's best friend," have larger brains than cats, and therefore, a capacity for superior intelligence.
It may be true that cats are generally more solitary, lower-maintenance and all-around easier to care for than dogs, but that could be the very reason they lose the debate over intelligence versus dogs. Maybe if cats would deign to socialize with their owners a little more often, they'd gain some brain power.
What do you think? Do you agree that your dogs are smarter than your cats, or do you still think those crafty cats are just tricking scientists into thinking dogs are smarter?

Science has determined bigger brains does not always mean bigger smarts. FACT: "Within the cerebral cortex — the brain region responsible for information processing, problem-solving and perception, among other things — cats have 300 million neurons, compared with dogs' 160 million neurons." - Live ScienceFebruary 25 2015 at 8:08 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
well studies show that people that prefer cats have an higher IQ than dog people. Also cats would be smarter because cats are able to surive on there own while dogs usually hunt in packs, but I still don't get that dogs are bigger and have a larger brain mass and are more stupid than cats. Dogs also only get there smartness from being around humans for 30,000 years and cats have been around humans for 10,000 years less. My dad had a unsucessful family and grew up with dogs all his life. He also didn't go to college and he likes cats a lot more than dogs now. While my mom on the other hand grew up with cats and was much smarter and went to college and became a teacher. I also found out that dogs act the way their owner's treat them which also proves that dogs are stupid because they just copy their owners and cats would know if their owner is a good person or a bad person. I guess that if everyone grew up and love cats more than dogs then there wouldn't be so many stupid people in the world.November 16 2014 at 4:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Assuming there were no leash laws how many dogs are smart enough to be left outside without wandering into the path of a car or getting lost or biting somebody? And how many cats can be left outside without making those stupid mistakes?May 17 2014 at 2:25 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Dogs! I love cats too, it's just that I don't and can't have a cat because of allergies. There are quite a few other reasons I like dogs better though, and they are:
Dogs can be put to much more use such as hunting, field work, herding, seeing eye dogs, dogs that help the deaf, therapy dogs, and dogs that help the disabled.
Cats can't really do that. Yes they hunt rodents but it's for their own use, not to please the owners. Cats can't be seeing eye, hearing, or disabled animals that help others. They can be therapy animals, though.
Dogs,in my opinion, are friendlier. They enjoy playing *with* their owner. They also enjoy pleasing their owner. Also, dogs would be at your side the whole way, no matter what.
Certain cats aren't very friendly and don't care about playing with the owner. Some don't enjoy pleasing their owner, either. I'm pretty sure that a cat would abandon you for themselves if the time came, or at least some would.
Dogs smell better, too. They do their business outside where we won't smell it. They are usually clean but need to be cleaned by us, which is a downside.
Cats do their business inside where we can smell it. But, they do clean themselves which I personally like about cats.
Dogs may not be as smart but they are still intelligent. They know when you are sad, angry, happy, or mixed. They also try to make you feel better.
Cats are pretty smart but they can do certain things that dint seem smart. They probably know when you're sad, angry, happy or mixed but they don't usually do anything about it.
Both are cute though! Dogs have a softer toungh, though, unlike a cat that has a sand paper feeling toungh. I like the feeling of a cat's toungh.
Personally, I like dogs better, no offense.

Dogs are super SMART!!!!!!! Has anyone ever saw a Search or Rescue Cat?? No, they don't exist. Cats are too selfish & independent to care that much for their owners. Dogs are loyal plus willing to risk their lives to save us Humans!!! To have a puppy that grows into an adult dog is one of the best gifts & relationships a person could have. I hope all dog owners have a long, healthy, & I'm sure fun-filled lifetime with your four-legged companion!!!!! Cat loving IDIOTS. Dogs Rule & God is only Dog spelled backwards.

I had a Siamese that was a real joy and very gentle and loved to interact. If I spoke to her she would always meow back and would always quit when I quit she and always had to have the last word. I will miss her and always remember her. (She chose to jump under my blanket when I slept and deposit a litter of kittens one time) Having said that only a moron would have this debate. Cat intelligence is "In the Moment" and is food first driven. They are hunters. Dogs have a strong symbiotic relationship to their family and can remember and anticipate in ways that cats are not geared to. When I first took my daughter to school she whined as she left the car alone and was nervous the whole time and freaked out 8 hours later when she was picked up. She is now used to her leaving, but when I turn off the T.V. to pick her up she starts whining the exact same type of whine that is more nervous than her "I want to go for a walk whine" She starts going nuts wagging her tail when she see's the school and then when my daughter actually appears she barks, when she gets in the car "Let the licking begin!" If you want to make some esoteric argument that cats are smarter by some measure like better night vision etc. Then you can't leave out Octopi I read an article in national geographic on the amazing problem solving intelligence of an Octopus. So in some realm Octopus and Cats are smarter. But dogs are big oafish drooling idiots just like me! When it comes to our Maltese, that is a different story. She is a nervous little alarm system that can hear a rat fart a mile away. And somehow she knows which rats belong in our neighborhood! So she only barks when strange rats fart!December 15 2013 at 12:38 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
People who say cats don't show love have never had one. I lived in a single pet household with my cat for many years, and when given as much socialization as a dog typically gets, their capacities are astounding. When I made the right noise, my cat knew to come running from wherever he was, he could play chase games with me and recognized different speech sounds and tones. You don't build a relationship with a cat by conditioning them with treats like you do a dog, you earn the love and respect from the animal. What's more rewarding than that?November 19 2013 at 12:18 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
So....having qualities of a slave is what decides intelligence is all I'm reading from all these dog lovers xD. "Dogs can do what humans say so they are obviously smarter"
That's about the worst logic I've ever heard and the worst part of it all, is that dogs have been bred for...what...15,000 years? just to be able to do what they do today. That's pretty pathetic if you ask me.
On the other hand, cats aren't bred to do any of those things simply because they refuse to be treated as slaves at their "masters" beckoned call. If you have even half a brain you could realize which of these 2 breeds is smarter and you don't have to love one or the other to figure it out. All these biased comments are hilarious to me though xD Keep up with your flawed logic about which one acts more like a slave to make you happy as being more intelligent please, it's hilarious :D

My advise to all newbies is that they get a copy of the
ABC's of Reloading
and read it cover to cover.
The book is written for newbies. It goes over different types/brands of reloading equipment with simple, step by step instructions. The author's writing style makes it easy for beginners to comprehend the instructions.

I did that twice, then I read even more stuff online. A great help that book was in starting me out. Newbs can also check out their local library to see if they have it there as well. Thats where I found it.
btw, I vote this for sticky status. I'll send a PM to Sidearmor.

Great idea Koski ^c
What ? No red vs blue slapfight threads ;f
We might also want to figure a way to include a link to the Reloading Amortization spreadsheet to help assess the the meaningess aspects of reloading, such as ROI and projected cost savings.
I think everyone starts out with these things in mind, then turns into a brass grubbing, bullet mongering whore like the rest of us ;f
Thanks for the effort on this one Steve...

I know I could load more rounds faster with a progressive press, but I still reload using a single stage.

Proper Die Set Up
Some brands of dies are manufactured differently than others and should be set up slightly different. For Lee and standard RCBS and Hornady dies, the proper headspace is built into the length of the die. Therefore, you should set them by placing the ram in the up position with a shell plate or shell holder installed. Turn the die into the press until you cant turn it anymore. At this point, lower the ram and turn the die in between a quarter and one half turn.
On standard 7/8 x 14 threaded dies, a quarter turn equates to about .018 of an inch. This is negligible as to the operation of the press but does create an environment that when you raise the ram, you are able to eliminate any daylight between the shell holder and the bottom of the die.
While some people tout an over-center feature of a press, it is not necessary or even advised if your die is set properly. About 25lbs of pressure on the handle can equal 600 pounds of force on the press.
I cant speak to other brands of dies but I am aware of at least one brand that should not be set in the above manner because it would create excessive headspace. With this type of die, proper setting come with trial and error until your case properly seats in your rifle with the action able to close on it without undue effort. This type of die would include specific instructions advising how to arrive at the proper setting.
The flaring die creates a bell in the case mouth of the case allowing the bullet to be seated into the case without shaving lead or copper off of the bullet. These dies are most common with handgun dies as well as rifle dies that are essentially straight walled. The idea is to raise the ram with an empty sized case in the shell holder. Repeat the process gradually turning the seating die down until you get a slightly belled case when your ram is at the top of the stroke. Too much bell is not desirable, as it wears out the brass faster and can reduce the grip of the case on the bullet.
For Lee dies, simply turn the powder through flaring die in until it touches the shell holder and then back it out one half of a turn. If you are using an Auto Disc Powder Measure, no further setting is necessary, simply remove the hex nut at top of the die and turn the measure into the die at this setting. This results in a properly charged case each time as long as you are pulling the lever to the bottom of the press stroke.
Seating & Crimping
This die setting probably causes more headaches for new loaders than any other die. This is because you are asking it to do two things at the same time. Raise an empty case to the top of the stroke, and while holding it there begin turning the die with the lock ring in the upper position and the adjustment screw turned outward into the press until it stops. This is where the crimp shoulder in the die has contacted the case mouth. Set the lock ring at this point and lower the ram to place a bullet on the case.
Turn the center adjustment of the die in slightly and raise the case into the die. This will begin to seat a bullet but wont crimp it. Lower the case, and turn the center adjustment in a bit more. Repeat the process until the bullet is seated to the depth you want
At this point, lower the ram and loosen the lock ring and turn the die in about a half turn. At the same time, bring the fine adjustment screw outward about two turns. Raise the case (that you just seated the bullet in) into the die. This should crimp it properly. With the ram still raised, turn the center adjustment downward until it stops. This sets the proper bullet seating length.
You now have a dummy round and future settings are very easy. Place the dummy round in the shell holder and raise the ram. Turn the die with the center adjustment turned outward as well as the lock ring, into the press until it stops. This is the proper crimping setting. Turn the center adjustment down until it stops. This is the proper depth setting.
Factory Crimp
Lee produces the only factory crimp dies I am familiar with. Factory crimp dies for rifle and handgun are different in that the rifle crimp die uses a collet to apply the crimp while the handgun factory crimp dies utilize a bushing system. The handgun dies also contain a carbide ring like the sizing die which post sizes the case to ensure proper dimensions.
To set the rifle style dies, place the case to be crimped in the shell holder and raise the ram. Turn the die in until it stops, lower the ram and turn the die in about a half turn more. This applies a normal crimp and fine adjustments can be made from there.
For the handgun factory crimp dies, turn them in until they touch a raised shell holder without a case present. Ensure that the center adjustment is turned outward. Lower the ram and place a case to be crimped in the shell holder and raise it into the die. There may be some resistance as the case goes through the carbide ring, but it should not be excessive. When at the top of the stroke, turn the center adjustment down until it stops. Lower the ram slightly and turn the adjustment ring about a half turn and raise the ram, the proper crimp is applied at this setting.
Handgun factory crimp dies for straight walled revolver cartridges apply a roll crimp. Factory crimp dies for cartridges that headspace on the case mouth, such as semi-auto cartridges, apply a taper crimp. However, excessively crimping with a taper crimp die will cause it to apply a roll crimp as well. If you are rolling the case mouth into the side of the bullet, you are applying too much crimp for semi-auto cartridges.

Reloading for Dummies (like the book series)
OK basically this is how it works. Each stage could be done separately on a single stage press or all at the same time using a progressive. The example given is based off of a Dillon 550B. This is the readers digest version and put in a format without all the reloading jargon. You can go to Dillon's website, download a 550 manual, and look at it while reading the different stages. This may help. I will work on putting pics in the email if I get some time tomorrow. LEE Factory crimp die set (4 die carbide set) used for example with the LEE powder die staying in the box since you must use the Dillon one on their machines. The press does come with one attached to the powder measure when the box arrives. These are the steps but it doesn't take place for all the reading that should be done to understand the right and wrongs as well as the safety safety safety. Its intimidating at first but after you load your first hundred rounds, you will wonder why you were ever stumped in the first place.
Stage I - This stage does 3 things when you pull the handle (Size the case, deprime, and prime). With an empty shell plate, pull the handle down which will raise the shell plate. Screw the sizing die so that it touches the shell plate. Now, put an empty cleaned case in the shell plate (piece of metal that holds the case in place - comes with the conversion kit from Dillon). Pull the handle down, the shell plate rises to insert the empty case into the stationary sizing die. The case goes fully into the die to take the case down to the size it was before it was fired (expands when fired) while the little punch will punch out the old primer. On the up stoke of the handle, the new primer gets seated into to primer pocket. Make sure you can feel the primer a little bit. If it goes in too easy, the case should be tossed. On a progressive press, you load 100 primers in the primer tube at a time The primers move into position on the down stroke and seat into the case on the put stoke. If you forget to seat a primer, you will wonder why you got all this powder all over the place. Its because its coming out of the hole that the primer should have been in. You also want to make sure the primer is seated flush. This is why some people use reloading boxes. The help to identify a high primer. I only use them to keep track of a new load I am trying out since I feel like I am working in a sweat shop in China putting all those rounds in their little holes.
Insert empty case into stage I
Pull handle to size and prime
Push handle forward to seat primer
Stage II - This stage does two things (bell the case and charge it). First it puts a bell on the top of the case. This is to have something for the bullet to sit on and so that is doesn't cut into the brass when it is seated on the next stage. The other thing that is done on this stage is dispense the powder. The powder dispenser is basically a hopper that drops a dialed in charge that you set. Screw the powder die (must be a Dillon powder die) in the second stage hole and put the powder funnel in the die. The powder funnel comes with the Dillon conversion kits and is what puts the bell on the case as well as "funnels" the powder in the case. Attach the powder measure on the die and finish assembly per instructions. Put a case from stage I in the shell plate and pull the handle all the way in the down position. The shell plate will rise and go into the die a little bit. Return the handle in the up position which will return the shell plate in the resting position. Keep screwing the die in a little bit until you get the bell you need or back it off if you have too much. Just need a little bit. You will get the feel of it. Too much and you will have a hard time getting the case into the next stage. Too little the bullet will fall off since it has nothing to sit on. Its not that hard to get the hang of it. There is a starter recommendation in the Dillon manual but you will find out what works best for you. On the up stroke, it pulls the case out of the die and resets the powder drop for the next round. Now add powder to the powder measure. Pull the handle, it will bell and drop the powder (I know you already belled but you have to bell again since it goes along with dropping the powder). Weigh the charge and adjust until you achieve the load you are using. Weigh and weigh again. If its not perfect, dump the powder out of the case and put it back in. weigh a couple more times just to make sure the charge is correct. Can you see the charge weight is important? Also its good to cross reference a charge weight between two references. A typo could mean a KB!!! Especially if the load is from a friend. Don't be scared to try peoples pet loads. They are some of the best I have ever tried. But please always check to make sure they are within loading specs per published manuals. When you get more experienced, you can play with pushing the envelope. When switching brands of powder in your measure, make sure you get all of it out. 5 grains of one powder could be a low charge but that same load in another powder could KB your gun. I have read where one guy switched powders and had a KB. They pulled the rest of the bullets and everything was OK. I suspected that he didnt clean out the measure good enough and it dropped some of the old power which would be at a dangerous pressure at the new weight. Just be careful. I played around with it to see if it could happen and it can.
Move case into stage II
Pull handle to raise case into die which will bell the case and dispense powder.
This is what the bell should look like
Stage III - This just seats the bullet to the depth you want it. With the shell plate empty, pull the handle to raise the shell plate. Screw in the bullet seating die until it touches the shell plate and back it off 3 full turns if using the LEE die set. Back off the screw on top of the die. Now put a case in the shell plate that has already been through stages I and II. Place a bullet on top of the case (I always look in the case to make sure their is powder in the case before I set the bullet on the case) and pull the handle. On the down stroke, the shell plate will rise. The case with the bullet will rise into the die. On the up stroke, the round (its a round of ammunition at this point) will pull out of the die. Take it off and measure the overall length with a caliper (need one of these things). It will be long because you backed off the screw a lot. Screw the top screw of the die in more to further seat the bullet to the depth you want (little at a time). Each time, put the round back in the shell plate and pull the handle down and up. Measuring each time. Stop when you have the depth you want.
Move case to stage III
Place bullet on top of the belled case
Pull handle to raise the bullet/case into the seating die.
Pic shows seated bullet
Stage IV - This is the crimp stage. The purpose of this stage is to take the bell out that you put on the case during stage II. Its not to retain the bullet although some people think it is. With an empty shell plate (no case) pull the handle to raise the shell plate. Screw in the die until it touches the shell plate and back off the bolt on top of the die. Put the round in the shell plate and pull the handle down and the shell plate rises (I figure you get this by now). The round will go into the die. While keeping the handle in the down position and the round in the die, screw in the bolt on top of the die until you can feel it touch the bullet. Pull up the handle to return the shell plate to its resting position. Screw the bolt on the die in additionally 1/4 to 1 turn. I usually do a little less than 1/2 turn. Put the round back in and pull the handle down then back up to complete the cycle. Take your calipers and measure the crimp (top of the case) on the round to see if you have it per your load data that you are trying to accomplish. To much crimp and you will dig the brass into the bullet. Too little and you will have feeding problems due to the bell. The nice thing about the Lee Factory Crimp Die is that you don't get over-sized rounds that can get stuck in your barrel.
Move case into stage IV
Pull handle to raise the round into the crimp die.
Crimp complete.
Thats it, you have a round made on a 550. Of course on the 550 you do all the stages with one pull once everything is setup. I broke the stages down as if you were setting it up for the first time. As you can see, most of the work is setup. Thats why I always recommend a turret at the very least. Don't have to mess with the setup all the time. Lee makes a pretty good one but its still 4 pulls of a handle instead of 1 for the same end result. The startup price is very small with the LEE kit. If you shoot more than 200 rounds a month, I say get the progressive. I would take a LEE progressive any day over a top end single stage or turret. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the run down. I got the ABC and lyman book but your version answers some questions that were not addressed in the book. I think you meant to say "long" in stage 3, the next sentance.
"It will be short because you backed off the screw a lot. "
The round will be "long" at first till you screw it in, that's how I understood it anyway.
I'm still leaning towards the turret press because I have all the time in the world, and I want to do rifle rounds and would like one press that does it all.
Actually I will be changing shifts soon and will be losing my shift diff which is a substantial amount of mad money. I might not be getting any press at all.

Thanks, changes made. you dont know how many times I have had to updated it. Everytime I read it I find something else.
I had the "All the time in the world" philosophy but decided that would wear off. I have been saved a few times already having the 550. A few times freinds have called and asked if I wanted to go shooting. Went in my reloading room to grab my range stuff only to find that my ammo surplus is low due to being busy with work and stuff around the house. Told my buddy to give me 20 min. Cranked out enough rounds to shoot for the day and off to the range. Really, happened more than once. I usually have a stock pile but things happen. Also if you start shooting IDPA or other shooting sports, ammo goes fast. My ammo usuage doubled for a range outing. Just things to consider. Did you know you call load pretty much everything but the big 50 BMG on the 550? Just cant use the case feeder.
With that being said, I dont think you can go wrong with the LEE turret to see if you like it. Especially if cost is a factor. I dont know any shooter that is still active in the sport and just stopped reloading. Usually the only reason they sell their machines is to buy faster ones.
How many rounds do you shoot??

Just read your post fully and seen the money thing. Sorry to hear that. I wouldnt let the money thing keep you from reloading. That is if you still have the money to shoot. What I mean is that if you are still buying factory ammo, its still cheaper to get the regular LEE kit and die set. It will pay for itself within just a few boxes of ammo.
Added pics to give visuals.

The Grades Classroom
The Class Teacher ideally takes the same class of children through eight years of elementary school (First to Eighth Grade), teaching all the Main Lesson subjects. For the teacher, this means time to really get to know the children and help their gifts unfold. For the students, this relationship offers stability and guidance.
Textbooks are not used in the elementary grades. Instead, the teacher creates the presentation and the children create individual books for each subject, recording and illustrating the substance of their lessons. These books, often artistic and beautiful, are an important way in which art is integrated into every subject.
Main Lesson is the two-hour period every morning in which the main subject of the day is presented. That subject―for example mathematics, history, botany, or acoustics―is taught daily for a 3- or 4-week block and then put aside, perhaps to be continued later in the term. This approach allows for concentrated, in-depth experience; freshness and enthusiasm; and time to digest what has been learned.
Drama plays a major role from the early Grades on, creating poised speakers before audiences. An annual Class Play allows students to submerge personal drama in a stage character, while meeting a wide range of emotions. The Eighth Grade play is a major presentation, usually Shakespeare.
Making Speech and Song Visible
The movement art known as eurythmy, developed by Rudolf Steiner, is unique to Waldorf schools. It may at times resemble dance, gymnastics, and theater, but its aim is ultimately to harmonize the child's soul-spiritual nature with the body, by making the body a more flexible and responsive instrument of the soul's intentions. Eurythmy classes feature recitation of verses or stories by the teacher, and piano accompaniment for parts of the lesson. In moving to music and the spoken word, the children become aware of different rhythms, repetitions or rhymes, tone color, moods, and the narrative arc.
Foreign Languages
Spanish and German classes meet twice a week beginning in the First Grade. The goal of foreign language teaching in Waldorf Schools is to encourage a positive attitude towards people of other cultures and languages. We strive to foster human understanding through language and culture. We help the students see the world in a different way and broaden their own perspectives.
Form Drawing
Capturing Dynamic Movement on Paper
Form drawing is also unique to Waldorf schools. It allows one to experience the inner nature of things through movement—which is one of the basic learning modalities of the early Grades. First, the children move with their whole bodies to create shapes; then they draw the shapes on chalkboards or paper. The shapes are archetypal patterns and designs such as those found in nature, incorporating straight and curved lines that "freeze" the movement, making it visible in space.
Handwork and Practical Arts
Practical arts, handwork, and crafts are an integral part of the Waldorf curriculum. Decades before brain research could confirm it, Rudolf Steiner recognized that brain function was founded on body function. Learning these skills in the early Grades leads to motor skills that later metamorphose into lively thinking and enhanced intellectual development.
The Mathematics curriculum strives to awaken in the student not only the ability to think logically and critically, but also a feeling for the beauty, lawfulness and clarity of mathematics. The curriculum imparts the standard components of mathematical knowledge necessary for success in high school and beyond: arithmetic, fractions and decimals, percentages, measurement, algebra, ratios, geometry, number bases, and more.
Music permeates and harmonizes life in the Waldorf school through a curriculum designed to develop the innate musicality with which every child is born. In First Grade, children sing and learn to play a simple wooden pentatonic flute. Both activities are practiced daily through the elementary school years. In Third Grade, diatonic flutes and string instruments are introduced. Students may choose a wind instrument beginning in Sixth Grade.
Letters are learned the way they originated in human history: First Graders hear stories, draw pictures, and discover the letter in the gesture of the picture. This process is accompanied by phonetic work in songs, poems, and games, helping to establish a joyful and living experience of language. Through the Grades, texts taken from the humanities curriculum―for example the book of Genesis, the Bhagavad-Gita, or the Kalevala from Finland―provide material for reading practice.
Recess at HVWS, as in Waldorf schools everywhere, is structured and guided integrally into the rhythm of
day―as an element of breathing in and out through the curriculum like the rhythm of the ocean waters. After concentrating in class, students of all ages interact at recess and work out the lessons they have internalized from the curriculum. Recess is also crucial to social inclusion. One of our golden rules, "You can't say, 'You can't play!'" can easily be heard from a young student engaging in play with others―for it is in the encounters on the playground where the children can find their way with each other.
The Arts
The Arts—including drama, painting, music, Eurythmy, drawing, and modeling—are integrated into the entire academic curriculum, including mathematics and the sciences. The Waldorf method of education through the arts awakens imagination and creative powers, bringing vitality and wholeness to learning.
The Humanities
The Humanities begin in First Grade with folk and fairy tales and continue in Second Grade with mythology and legends; Third Grade with Old Testament stories; Fourth Grade with Norse mythology; and the ancient cultures of India, Egypt, Persia, Mesopotamia, and Greece in Fifth Grade. These studies provide the background for the study of history and arts presented through excerpts from original texts. By living in these cultures through their legends and literature, the children gain flexibility and an appreciation for the diversity of humankind. By the close of Eighth Grade, the children have journeyed through Rome to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Age of Exploration, and up to the present day.
The Sciences
The Sciences are taught experientially: the teacher sets up an experiment, calls upon the children to observe carefully, ponder and discuss, and then allows them to discover the resulting law, formula, or principle. Through this process, rigorous, independent thinking and sound judgment are trained. Children progress from learning about nature through the direct experience of a nature walk, to the study of Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Astronomy, Physics (including Optics, Thermal Physics, Acoustics, Static and Current Electricity, Magnetism, Mechanics), and Physiology.
