> Limited life primers? time to stock up?

Has anyone heard of this before? I did some research concerning "limited life primers" and found two patients for this draconion idea.

Ya, I've heard of those before. I would be seriously upset if I found an experation date on my primers. What a bunch of #%@. As if people who stock pile loaded ammunition have some common agenda to storm the government, or as if having 10,000 rounds is a bad thing and considered a threat. Another liberal attempt to control our hobby, as usual.
February 7, 2013, 11:14 PM
Wow, GS, tell us how you really think.... :D
I agree with you though....... imagine that!
February 8, 2013, 12:06 AM
I believe a lot of the conspiracy stuff and comes along every year but I highly doubt this one. Primers that go bad are a really bad idea. Who is to say those primers won't find their way into ammo used by the government or military, than what?
February 8, 2013, 12:33 AM
what happens when they go half bad ,and we start getting hang fires , or worse , they were talking about this at least 10 years back , by the time they get this to work we should all have electirc fired guns :neener: if not I guess we go back to flint locks :what:

Limited life primers, what a useless invention. Ranks right up there with the solar powered flashlight.
Just bought four bricks of primers, not doing any more panic buying until someone credible tries to push it into law, I somehow doubt those blasted things will ever catch on without some help from the hill :D
Just reading the patent description it seems like a case of a chemist who knows nothing of manufacturing, producing anything with a tolerance of 1 nm is remarkably challanging, and doing it on a small cheap disposable item is impossible, get your coating too thick and they will last like a regular ol primer, too thin and they won't be functional by time they get to the warehouse.
I would not worry about it too much, basic economics says this product will fail before they ever hit the shelves (if they ever do) there are not a whole bunch of anti gun nutjobs who reload their own, and no ammo manufacturer is going to be chomping at the bit to pay more for an intentionally unreliable product.
February 8, 2013, 08:50 AM
This idea is nothing new. They tried it back in the 90's too. It all died when several chemists from both in primer manufacturing and outside the industry all said "There is nothing that can be put into primers to make them go bad in a year that wouldn't make them go bad before they left the factory" That ended the whole debate
February 8, 2013, 09:16 AM
or as if having 10,000 rounds is a bad thing and considered a threat. Threat, that will only get you through half a season in some shooting sports..

Studio wilfredtimo is young graphic design duo Wilfred van der Weide and Timo Demollin. This website is our portfolio.
As graphic designers we use various forms of media to deal with communication and imagination. Think: posters, identities, campaigns, spatial installations, exhibition design, websites and video production. In our concepts we look for a playful approach that stays close to the essence. Using simple elements and combining analog with digital techniques, we translate these ideas to images with a sense of plasticity.
Together we hope to discover how we as designers can manifest ourselves throughout the design spectrum by discussing media and collaborating with both clients and other creatives.

Limitations in resident working hours were sparked by the death of 18-year-old Libby Zion in a New York hospital in 1984. Libby's father, Sydney, left no stone unturned to ensure the implementation of restriction on residents' working hours after his daughter died under the care of inexperienced and overworked young physicians.1 In July 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education mandated such restriction, which became the subject of heated debate between those who entrenched themselves on either side of the fence. The epidemic extended well beyond the US borders where restrictions are even harder than ours. Among the primary goals of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education were enhancement of patient safety, providing a friendly learning environment, and a decent quality of life for residents. However, there was a concern that such restrictions may backfire when it comes to the quality of education and the very safety of the patients it was implemented for. The gap between the pros and cons is even wider when surgical education is considered because residents not only need to acquire medical knowledge but also develop the manual dexterity and—this may be as important—the strength and endurance to perform procedures and provide total care.2

HTC Rezound against the world: spec comparison
0. phoneArena 03 Nov 2011, 15:19 posted on
Verizon's HTC Rezound spec sheet has arrived and it's truly a beast: 4.3-inch 720p LCD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and support for Verizon's blazing fast 4G LTE network. But that's only part of the picture - the Rezound redefines high-definition audio...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
LG LTE has a 4.5" IPS LCD with RGB... 1.5GHz dual-core, LTE, and a 1850MaH battery. of the above though its a tough choice between the RAZR and Rezound.
30. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
But...but Galaxy Note blows everyone with its 2500MaH battery and bigger HD superAMOLED screen and 1.4 dual core Exynos. specs war for the lol
47. ledbetterp3 (Posts: 467; Member since: 31 Aug 2011)
The galaxy note's size itself makes me not want it, to me, it's not a half phone half tablet, its too big for a phone and too small for a tablet. I would definitely not use it as a phone!
57. choupino (Posts: 69; Member since: 28 May 2011)
Remember that the Galaxy Note requires a bigger battery because it's a behemoth... Bigger device and screen landscape to light up means bigger battery to handle the job... Secondly, EXYNOS chips are not capable of LTE, which should be a deal breaker.
40. nb2six (Posts: 298; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
you can't even put LG into the mix when it comes to top-tier smartphones. I have yet to be impressed by one of their devices. They may be the first to out something with the latest specs, but they usually come loaded with a multitude of bugs that take in some cases forever or never to get fixed..They really should just stick to the feature phone market where they do truly make great devices.
89. jamrockjones (Posts: 345; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Optimus LTE looks sick! Don't be a hater.
2. AdamW33 (Posts: 39; Member since: 25 Aug 2011)
Rezound for me
28. tuminatr (Posts: 773; Member since: 23 Feb 2009)
i will second that better display and faster cpu, also Motorola has had many minor bugs in there new version of blur, HTC however has been smooth sailing
80. windowsRocks (Posts: 152; Member since: 28 Oct 2011)
For me too only if screen was Super AMOLED Plus
85. Goldeneye (Posts: 419; Member since: 22 Jan 2011)
4 out of these 5 phones are Verizon's really impressive!
3. TGreg104 (Posts: 38; Member since: 14 Jun 2011)
Idk.. I was pretty hyped on this phone but I'm not really now. Also I'm worried about battery life too.
4. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
Just wondering how the iphone4s made it in the runnings with these premium highend Android phones...almost seems unfair to Apple...but good....
21. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
yet for some strange reason, there are a couple million "absolutely brainless and stupid" people that buy it over a weekend
90. mobileharan (Posts: 18; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Its their wish and need .. You cannot call them foolish or brainless for that ..
5. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
I can tell you now..that. battery life is going to be petiful on the Rezound...4.5 screen..dual core 1.5 ghz..LTE..and only a 1640 mah battery..phone is already headed for trouble.....with that big of a display coupled to a 1640 mah battery...
11. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
its a 4.3'' screen but yeah i dont see how this beast will survive a single day especially knowing how the previous htc lte phone barely got through half a day.phone looks quite thick so if samsung and moto can put 1650+ battery in a thin phone,htc should have been able to put 2000mah in easily..samsung have released an official 2000mah battery for the gs2(uk) which comes with a battery cover and still keeps the phone less than 10mm....
84. aar0983 (Posts: 51; Member since: 26 Sep 2011)
I guess they didnt learn from their mistake with the thunderbolt. 1640 wont be enough juice at all
86. Jasonhunterx (Posts: 111; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
Not really battery life should not be a problem dual cores are more efficent then single core cpu an it will mostly come down to software like the voltage cpu is set to an small stuff like that but that display an lte will take a big hit on battery for such a thick phone you would think battery would be like 2000mah or at least 1850
6. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
Buy a extra battery when you pick that baby up...

i like your posts. but three in a row?
7. threeline (Posts: 267; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
All these phones can be had on on Verizon! And what the hell is Sprint doing? Nothing thats what! Sucks to be a Sprint customer with an upgrade available like me!
9. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
Sprints NOW network cant even handle the new influx of iphone 3g activations...the network is suffering from turtle speeds on its network
10. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
You can get the Evo or the Evo 3d.....they spent all of there money on Apple acquiring use of the iphone...so dont expect anything great
12. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
Im on a roll....long drive home. Stuck in traffic..#8..u must have sprint..:(

Id still take the sgs2.
14. karlmalone1 (Posts: 7; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Threeline just get the epic 4g touch, you'll be happy
23. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Your joking right? My HTC Evo 3d, the Motorola Photon, and even the Nexus S 4g are infinitely better than any GS2. That's right, I said it, there are better phones than the SGS2
25. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
now i know your joking. thats just silly.
32. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Evo 3d and Photon>SG I and II
Anyone who hasn't had a concussion in the past 24 hours will tell you that
34. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Lols. neither beats the sgs2 in anything. Anyone with half a brain will tell you that.

Cwebb i had the photon before my epic touch, and the epic touch is by far a superior phone, MUCH quicker, better display albeit at a lower resolution...and did i say MUCH quicker? The exynos is a powerhouse. And whoever says a nexus s is better than a sgs2 must have been dropped on their head a lot as a child.
49. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
A SGS2 won't be better if it doesn't get ICS, and especially with Samsung's track record, I won't expect it to get it soon if ever (Yes, Samsung lies)
69. threeline (Posts: 267; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
Cwebb, I agree about Sammy not updating and it will be a long time before they do upgrade if ever, but I don't agree with the Evo3d and Photon being better. Please educate me as to why as I have never owned either. I have the Epic GSI.

No way n hell those phones r fags

bucky that seems pretty silly to take the sgs2 over the galaxy nexus
19. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
why is that? the nexus has a better screen resolution and thats it. no sd card, camera is not as good, front facing camera is not as good, battery is about the same, its HUGE, processor isnt as fast as exynos, and gpu is older and slower.
The sgs2 has a huge backing on xda. the updates will be no problem.

I agreed with you up to the part that you said "gpu is older..."
59. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Less powerfull better?
71. bolaG (Posts: 468; Member since: 15 Aug 2011)
yeah :P

Thank the Good Lord they did not out one of my Windows Phones in a spec sheet with these beasts. It would have been eaten alive on paper. :-D
First of all, I think the worries on battery life is legit. HTC has been weak on this even compared to others in this day and age of bad battery life. But, I would not let that bother me in buying it.
I still kinda like the Motorola Droid RAZR best of this bunch. Really like how they have stepped up their screen presentations and their use of their OMAP processors have really been optimized. Their overlays are really good UI's these days since they dumped the Motoblur and improved the experience. Like the idea of the Nexus. Not sure it will actually perform better once ICS comes to these.
36. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Eaten alive?
Because they don't have dual cores?
Don't be silly boy.
Windows is damn smooth without fancy dual cores, and andro laggy even with them.
Yeah boy, you take a look only at spec sheet without taking into consideration a real life performance. Keep living in this marketing world.
53. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Have you even used a dual-core phone with android? When i had the EVO 3D is was smooth as butter
65. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
platform smoothness is one thing app performance is another. after using my Droid 3 looking at iPhone 4s and Windows Phones feel slow at doing things in comparison
68. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Yeah, as soon as I wrote that, smiley face and all, I knew someone would jump on me. Hoping actually, as I would take a WP any day of the week. Please do notice I said "on paper". I love WP real life performance.
However these are bad-tushie freaking phones!! I am not anti-Android by any means, and I am pumped by these things. How can you NOT be? Great Androids mean WP needs to work harder to keep up.... Better devices for me!!

wow.. the rezound is the weakest phone up there... well.. other than that 800mhz iphone crap.
mmmaybe HTC shouldnt be comparing itself to other top end phones? lolol
26. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Um hello? The Rezound's PPI and processor even one-up ths SGN. The Razr may been thinner, but HTC's designs are on par with Apple, and way ahead of Sammy. The only thing that scares me is the battery, but you will be able to buy a bigger one/another one. It confuses me why HTC didn't give its most power intensive phone a massive battery
31. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
the processor and gpu is pure crap.
33. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Whose? A 1.5 dual-core snapdragon will do more than good enough for any phone created to this day
35. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Add htc sense on and watch mirco stutters. its ok at best but you were comparing it to the exynos. In that case, yes, its crap.
43. KParks23 (Posts: 619; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
the 1.5 DC snapdragon is quite fast in this device it will pull up to around 2700 in quadrant all day.thats pretty fast and who would want a cheep flimsy plastic phone from samsung.. stop riding sammy so hard or u might throw ur back out! sense is the best that u can get other than stock
62. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
The old sense was amazing. The new sense is too much flash over speed
51. Cwebb (Posts: 501; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
My Evo 3d can handle Sense 3 without and hangups or anything, with a 1.2 Snapdragon, and this has a even faster processor and Sense 3.5
61. bucky (Posts: 2575; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Your evo 3d cant because I have seen it lag with my own eyes. Faster than the sensation though, ill give you that but the s3 chips are not that great.
64. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the processor is actually the worst out of the bunch.
72. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
Yep, it is the slowest when compared to OMAP and Exynos. But in real life if you were to compare them between a stock ICS, you probably wouldn't notice too much difference. The biggest slowdown is the UI that overlays the ROM. Sense is a big hog on resources and given it's the slowest CPU in pure number crunching, you'll definitely notice the difference if that same phone ran on either of the other CPUs.
77. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it's more than just lag in navigating the platform. there's the matter of browser, flash, video playback & game performance. all have noticeable differences. even Phone Arena frowns on the performance of S3 using phones that are hyped up to be truly high-end now a days. there's games that are coming out that want to push the extents of a phones capability and that's set by the most powerful of them all which are the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S II. crappy SoCs like the S3 will struggle with titles like these.
18. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Still...I would like to have RAZR...that's innovation and beauty.
And probably will have better camera than HTC...that's sth normal.
720p is not a big difefrence compared to 960x540. But the thickness will be a deal breaker.
And battery in HTC...+ android...+ LTE...phone dead before lunch?
55. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And HTC def has a better camera.

"Data has shown us that children who enter an Educare program between the ages of birth to two years, and remain in Educare until 4-year-old kindergarten are scoring above average on school readiness tests."
(Source: Educare promising early returns)
October 9, 2014:
"Our goal is to close the achievement gap. The better we can equip teachers to meet the child's needs, the better our outcomes will be, and the better prepared our children will be for school." --- Angela Lampkin, Educare of Milwaukee Director.
We received some very good news this week about our Educare Center. A key assessment of the quality of teacher instruction has gone up 38%! The CLASS assessment measures how well teach...ers are using classroom resources to support and instruct the child. For example, CLASS measures how well the teacher is developing language and literacy skills. As part of our commitment to excellence, Educare implements this assessment annually. In 2013, our score for instruction support was 3.4. The national average for Head Start classrooms was 3.14, so we were already performing above that. But because of the hard work of our Educare director and our Master Teachers, our score in 2014 went up to 4.68. That is a 38% increase!
There were a lot of factors that account for this increase. The Educare Network held a training in March for all Educare staff on high quality teaching. Education Managers were also very committed to implementing the ideas, giving feedback and even video-taping teachers in action. Finally, each classroom team was very intentional on working together as a teaching unit. All of these steps helped to improve scores. We are very proud of our teachers.
What is Educare?
Educare is a state-of-the-art early childhood school with a focus on developing early skills and promoting and enhancing parent-child relationships that create a foundation for successful learning. Educare is a national model of early education and care built on Early Head Start and Head Start Standards. The program enrolls children as early as six weeks old, and children have the opportunity to remain in Educare until they are ready to transition to kindergarten. Educare programs seek to raise awareness of the importance of high quality education and family services.
Research on Educare schools indicates the earlier children enroll in an Educare school and the longer they remain in Educare from birth to two years, the better they are prepared fro kindergarten.
This means these children enter 4-year-old kindergarten socially prepared to learn with knowledge of important concepts such as colors, letters, shapes, sequence, self-awareness, and vocabulary. Knowledge of these concepts is essential for school success.
The first Educare center opened in 2000 in Chicago, IL. Through a partnership with the Buffett Early Childhood Fund and Ounce of Prevention, Educare Milwaukee opened in 2005 and was the third Educare in the country. Currently there are 18 schools from coast to coast, and this innovative network is still growing.

CHICAGO — The Yankees could still be days away from knowing Carlos Beltran's future though the outfielder will try restarting his comeback Monday from an elbow injury that might end his season.
Beltran has been on the disabled list since May 15, a day after an old bone spur in his right elbow had him in so much pain he removed himself from a game.
The Yankees' $45-million offseason acquisition is slated to take what's known in baseball parlance as dry swings — think on-deck circle cuts — on Monday.
Dry swings don't involve striking a baseball, and thus are considered low impact and the least likely to push Beltran's elbow too hard.
The swings, Girardi said, will happen in New York under assistant trainer Mark Littlefield's supervision. They could have two outcomes: Either Beltran feels so much pain he feels surgery to remove the spur is the best choice or he moves onto higher-impact swings, such as hitting off of a tee.
"It might take a few days," Girardi said. "But you might know right away, in a sense. Dry swings are different than making contact. And making contact is different than probably swinging and missing at full speed."
Girardi said there doesn't appear to be any worry that the spur could cause further damage.
"I think if there was a lot of concern they would have gone and gotten it already," he said. "People have bone spurs all over the place. It's just if it's symptomatic."
Beltran has already received a pair of cortisone shots in the elbow. He's said it's not a matter of if, but when, he has the spur removed. Best-case scenario, Beltran said, he's able to wait until the offseason.
The Yankees would like him to return as soon as possible. Though he'd been hitting just .234, he was the team's No. 3 hitter and team officials were expecting him to snap out of his slump soon.

What are you most proud of? I was able to knowledge from two courses and make a quilt that I wanted. Six of the stars are paper pieced and six are strip pieced.
Lovely quilt. Did you use the quilt as you go method?
This would be great for Christmas! Beautiful, as always.
Just stunning. Wonderful.
What a beautiful quilt! I love the colors you chose and how they sparkle against the black. I have always loved Amish quilts, too - I grew up in Northeastern Ohio where there are still many Amish farms in the area. It's also wonderful that you used the quilt-as-you-go method; it makes the quilting so much more manageable!
This is a beautiful quilt! How much experience in quilting does one need to have to make a quilt like this one?
Thank you for your kind remarks. It does not take much experience to make a quilt like this, just the right info. I have been quilting for 3 years and made this more than a year ago. It is a matter of picking the right fabric and the pattern for your skill level. Also the great Craftsy classes are essential to me. Craftsy taught me to quilt as I do not know any quilters.

Al-Gama`a al-Islamiyya as a terror group emerged during the 1970's as a phenomenon rather than an organized group, mainly in Egyptian jails and later on in some of the Egyptian universities. The phenomenon of the Islamic Group was mainly impress by the militant ideology of Sayyid Qutb (executed in 1966 for various crimes), who flagged the way for the establishment of several Islamic militant branches in Egypt and the Arab world since than.
Following the release of most of the Islamic prisoners from the Egyptian jails by then-president Sadat after 1971, several groups of militants began to organize themselves in more organized groups. These militant groups or cells took names such as the Islamic Liberation Party, al-Takfir wal-Hijra (Excommunication and Emigration), Al-Najun min al-nar (Saved from the Inferno), and Jihad (Holy War), as well as many others groups, including al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (The Islamic Group). Each terror cell operated separately and was self-contained, a fact that allowed the organization to be structured, but at the same time loosely organized. It seems that there was some kind of organized contact between the leaders of the different groups, but whether there was ever an effective overall direction of all the groups is not clear.
Peace with Israel in 1979 produced a new sense of fundamentalist outrage. In his anxiety to sustain the momentum of his peace policy, president Sadat became closely identified with the American policy. Thus, in the minds of the Islamists he personified domestic failure and external betrayal. He was seen to be neglecting his Arab neighbors in favor of closer ties with the West, particularly Israel and the United States. The assassination of president Sadat on October 1981 by members of the Jihad group meant that the Islamic militants were able to strike at the very heart of the Egyptian power structure and that no one is safe.
Hosni Mubarak's first few years as the successor of murdered president Sadat were marked by a lull in the violence. Since then, the religious Islamic militants have escalated their campaign of violence and have shaken the stability of the country. This acceleration can be attributed in part to social hardships resulting from a new economic structural adjustment policy and to foot-dragging on the democratization process. The Islamic militants gave a new expression to endemic socio-economic frustrations. There was massive unemployment among university and college graduates and many of the al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya's emirs (military commanders) were drawn from their ranks. The poorer cities in Upper and Middle Egypt, for example, Assiut, also furnished a disproportionate number of followers.
The militant Islamists are organized within disparate groups and are thought to number several thousand militants. Made up of tiny cells of fundamentalist extremists, they are united in the conviction that the use of force to push Egyptian society towards Islamic rule is a religious duty of Jihad.
However despite severe and damaging their attacks, Egypt's militant groups remain fragmented and small. They do not enjoy broad popular support among Egyptian people. Social discontent has not always translated into membership. They remain a distinct minority voice in Egyptian society. In addition, if some might sympathize with their aims, most do not sympathize with their tactics. For instance, a series of indiscriminate bomb blasts, packed with nails, which seemed calculated to maximize the loss of innocent life in poor neighborhoods of Cairo in June 1993 are believed to have stiffened public opinion against the extremists. The death of a schoolgirl bystander during the attack on Prime Minister Atef Sidki also provoked widespread public condemnation. Attacks on various popular tourist targets only serve to alienate the thousands of Egyptians who earn their livelihood from the tourist industry and from western tourists who are often seen as a target by extremists.
The extremist Islamic groups of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya do not maintain connections with the now forbidden Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks mainly political legitimacy. In several occasions, such as the attempt on the life of the Egyptian Interior Minister, Hassan al-Alfi, in August 1993, the Brotherhood issued a statement denouncing the bombing as a dangerous evil.
The government's response to the militant threat posed by al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya and other militant groups committed to violence was swift, and an all-out war has been declared against the militants; and new legislation has been passed in an effort to combat the militants. Other measures have also been taken to contain the rise of radical Islam. In November 1992, the Hosni Mubarak administration announced that as many as 40,000 private mosques, believed to be the breeding ground for the extremists, would be taken under government control. The Minister of Religious Endowments issued a statement warning that the state would not permit mosques to become centers for militant activity.
On November 17, 1997, 58 tourists, and four Egyptians were killed in the southern town of Luxor in the bloodiest attack since the Gama'a took up arms in 1992 to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak's government.
Several weeks later two statements – one vowing to halt attacks on foreign tourists and a second denying that such a decision had been made – were issued in the name of the Gama'a al-Islamiyya. The split actually began to surface in July following a truce called by imprisoned leaders of the Gama'a al-Islamiyah. The two contradictory statements showed the Gama'a was clearly fragmented both inside and outside Egypt.
The statement vowing to halt the attacks was issued by the Osama Rushdi's faction. Rushdi is the Gama'a media official and lives in the Netherlands, where he publishes the Gama'a publication 'Al-Murabitoun' (Vigilant Warriors). The extremist statement was issued by Refaei Ahmed Taha, one of the Gama'a leaders who is said to live somewhere in Afghanistan.
One consequence could be that the splinter armed units in Egypt could carry out even more violent attacks and groups on the run in Egypt may work independently. According to Egyptian security sources, Gama'a units working in the south of Egypt were working independently without coordination with their political leadership in what they called "a military coup."
Qutb's main contribution was to give Islamic religious legitimacy to the duty of maintaining violent Jihad against Arab secular regimes, which were perceived by him as heretics. He also gave priority to this kind of Jihad over the religious social Islamic revolution of the Muslim Brotherhood. The members of the new groups regarded the old Muslim Brotherhood, and the ideas of its founder, Hassan al-Banna, as completely out of date. Sayyid Qutb preached also that Muslim states should be ruled by the Koran, and that all other forms of rule were a negation of the Koran and a blasphemous challenge to it. There could be no compromise between the two systems, the two sorts of society.
The targets of the militants' struggle for the establishment of an Islamist state, have included government ministers and officials (including two attempts on the life of President Husni Mubarak). The targets have also included police officers, secular intellectuals, Christian Copts and foreign tourists. Recently the Islamic extremists have also begun targeting banks, in an effort to enforce the Islamic ban on usury. Anything considered morally offensive is also attacked, including musical recitals, film shows and video stores.
In the eyes of the militants all these targets are perfectly legitimate:
Police officers because they protect the secular state; liberal intellectuals on the ground that their works show evidence of apostasy and atheism that would have a negative effect on morals. In June 1992 Farag Foda, a writer known for his secularist views, and an out-spoken opponent of militant Islamic groups was shot dead and al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya claimed responsibility. Sheikh Muhammad al-Ghazali, a cleric at al-Azhar, the prestigious institution of Islamic teaching, testified at the trial of those accused of killing Foda. He declared that anyone who resisted Islamic law was an apostate and could be killed by the state or failing that, by pious Moslems.
Coptic Christians, the largest religious minority in the coun, have also been targeted. Some militants regard the Christians as infidels and therefore appropriate targets for Jihad. Attacks have mainly been concentrated in the governorates of Upper and Middle Egypt such as Minya, Assiut and Sohag, where Christians live in large numbers and have much influence in the economic life.
The militants have designated and attacked tourist targets for two main reasons: primarily, to shake the confidence of the government by hitting it where it hurts most – the economy; secondly, in order to rid Egypt of Western influences, and to keep them of the country. In an interview with the BBC the Egyptian cleric and one of the leaders of the Egyptian Islamist militants, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, said that tourism in Egypt spreads low morals and diseases such as AIDS, which was shocking statement for most of the western world.

1917 Timothy Murnane Memorial Album Signed by Ban Johnson, Connie Mack, Charles Comiskey, and Others
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $7,637.50
Leather-bound memorial book of unparalleled quality presented as a keepsake to the family of Timothy Murnane on September 27, 1917 at Boston's Fenway Park. Timothy Munrane Day featured an All-Star team comprised of the greatest stars of the American League (including Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, etc.) playing against the Boston Red Sox, for the purpose of celebrating Murnane's great contributions to the game and to raise money for his family. The Murnane Day game was the second of the two most important charity events of the decade, with the first having been the fundraiser for Addie Joss' family following his untimely passing in 1911. This book was presented to Mrs. Murnane on that special day. In addition to being produced by the finest craftsmen, the book is signed by American League president Ban Johnson and all eight American League team owners. Tim Murnane was a former player and manager during the nineteenth century who in Boston later became one of the most respected sportswriters in the nation. His sudden death in February 1917 caused great sorrow for both his loyal readers and many friends in the game. In honor of his memory and contributions to the game, the American League felt compelled to produce and present his family with this testimonial book celebrating his achievements on its nine thick gilt-edged interior pages. This book has the aura and the quality of a sacred religious artifact. The hard-bound leather cover reads "In Memorium" in gold lettering and is accented by a black silk decorative ribbon. The interior of the covers are lined with white silk surrounded by a decorative gold design on the interior leather trim. The pages are all hand lettered, in grand calligraphic style, and are sturdy, thick, special card-stock presentation pages. This book was obviously intended to be a most sincere and dignified expression of gratitude which could be appreciated by Mrs. Murnane at a glance. The text, spread out over the entire nine pages of the book, reads as follows: Timothy Hayes Murnane was gathered to his fathers on February 7, 1917, after about 45 years of active service to baseball, first as a player of prominence and then as an able organizer, a wise executive and an authoritative writer. The American League of professional baseball clubs expresses its deep sense of the loss the national game has sustained by his death, recognizing that in his devotion to baseball, which he put above all interests of clubs or players, he best served the welfare and ideals of the League. As a member of the Board of Arbitration of the National Association he was a wise and just mediator, maintaining a position of balance between club owners and players unrivaled by anyone ever connected with baseball. As a writer he was original, independent and fearless. While he was broad and kindly in his writings and an apostle of optimism, he was relentless in his criticism of whatever he felt was inimical to the good of baseball. He hated all sham and was quick to detect and expose whatever did not ring true. The integrity of the game was a passion with him, and he was a powerful influence in making baseball what it is today, preeminent among all sports as above suspicion. His great personal charm and genial presence endeared him to the individual members of the American League to whom he was a valued friend and a trusted counselor." The final page reads: "Resolved that an engrossed and bound copy of this memorial be presented to Mr. Murnane's family as a token of our deep sympathy for them and our great indebtedness to him as a master builder of the national game . It is signed directly below by Ban Johnson (league president), Harry Frazee (Boston), Jacob Ruppert (New York), Charles Comiskey (Chicago), Connie Mack (Philadelphia), Frank Navin (Detroit), James Dunn (Cleveland), Philip Ball (St. Louis) and Benjamin Minor (Washington). All of the signatures have been penned in black fountain pen and are flawless, grading "9-10." The black leather cover of the book (8.5 x 10 inches) shows some wear from handling. The interior pages are all crisp, clean and bright, having been perfectly protected between the covers of this special memorial presentation. Excellent condition. Produced by the American League for presentation to Mrs. Murnane on Timothy Murnane Day, this is perhaps the greatest keepsake that could possibly exist from this legendary event. Included with the album is a circa 1905 cabinet card with oval image of Murnane (5.75 x 8.75 inches, Vg-Ex, signed in pencil on reverse "To my friend Charlie Lavis Compliments of T. H. Murnane") and a card (4.5 x 3.5 inches, Ex-Mt) sent by Mrs. Murnane expressing thanks for the sympathy and kind words of well wishers. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $3,000+. SOLD FOR $7,637.50

I can't tell you how many times I've called one bank or another "the nation's second (or third, or whatever) largest bank by assets" to help put the bank I'm writing about into context. After doing this countless times, however, I figured that what would really help from a contextual standpoint is a chart. What follows, in turn, is a graph of the nation's largest lenders -- all but one of which has assets in excess of $20 billion.
While it's not obvious from the chart, you can separate these institutions into three different buckets. The first bucket concerns the most widely discussed too-big-to-fail banks: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. Then comes the unofficial too-big-to-fail lenders (those with assets in excess of $50 billion and thus subject to the Federal Reserve's more stringent stress test process). This group contains U.S. Bank (NYSE: USB ) , PNC Financial (NYSE: PNC ) , and BB&T Bank (NYSE: BBT ) , among others. And the final group encompasses lesser-known banks like First Niagara Financial (NASDAQ: FNFG ) and People's United Financial (NASDAQ: PBCT ) with between $20 billion and $50 billion in assets.
For those of you interested in bank stocks, I encourage you to use this list to consider diversifying your holdings from those institutions at the top of the list to some closer to the bottom. As I discussed here, it's at the bottom where you'll often find the best returns.
With big finance firms still trading at deep discounts to their historic norms, investors everywhere are wondering if this is the new normal, or if finance stocks are a screaming buy today. The answer depends on the company, so to help figure out whether U.S. Bancorp is a buy today, I invite you to read our premium research report on the company. Click here now for instant access!

NEW YORK (AP) - Technology stocks fell for a third straight session Thursday as investors shifted money from the pricey shares that dominated trading in 1999 to blue-chip stalwarts like Caterpillar, 3M and Procter & Gamble.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 130.61 to 11,253.26. The Dow's strongest component was 3M, maker of Post-It notes and Scotch tape; 3M rose 7 1/2 to 100 3/4 during Wall Street's regular session.
The Nasdaq composite index, dominated by technology stocks, fell 150.41 to 3,727.13. It was the second-largest point loss in history for the Nasdaq, which has tumbled nearly 10 percent since closing at a new record Monday.
Broader market measures were mixed, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index rising 1.34 to 1,403.45.
Stocks continued the reversal of fortunes that marked Wall Street this week. Technology stocks, which helped the Nasdaq composite to an unprecedented 86 percent gain in 1999, plummeted as investors collected profits.
Meanwhile, cyclical companies, which thrive in a booming economy but languished last year in the frenzy for technology stocks, are soaring.

Compare and Contrast the Inner and Outer Planets
All of the planets: are apart of one galaxy, revolve around the Sun, don't produce light, and spin on it's axis
Planets differ because: inner planets are earth like and rocky while outer planets are gas giants and have rings
Compare and contrast a geocentric model of the solar system and a heliocentric model of the soar system.
Geocentric model: revolves around the Earth
Heliocentric model: revolves around the Sun
Both Heliocentric and Geocentric models have the same objects revolving around each other.

A Perfectly Refreshing Red White & Blue Citrus SpritzerKelsey Banfield
There is nothing quite like a refreshing spritzer on a hot summer day. I like to give mine a nice fruity splash with some delicious berry filled ice cubes. They give the drink an extra zing that is so much more fun than just plain ice cubes. Since we had recently gone strawberry picking it made the most sense for me to fill up the ice cube trays with sliced berries and some blueberries we had on hand. I piled them into an ice cube tray, filled it with water and let it freeze overnight. The next day I piled them into glasses and filled them with my favorite citrus soda, though a sparkling water would work just as well. There they were, festive, easy red white and blue citrus spritzers to kick off summer!
Blueberry & Strawberry Ice Cubes 1 of 4
Place the ice cubes in a tall glass 2 of 4
Add desired citrus soda 3 of 4
Enjoy! 4 of 4
Red White & Blue Citrus Spritzer
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
Citrus soda of choice
1. Pile the strawberries and blueberries into the ice cube trays and fill them with water. Allow the cubes to freeze completely overnight. Fill a glass with your favorite citrus soda and plop in the cubes. Enjoy!

PBS (Daily, 6:30 p.m. ET)
These shows look pretty much alike. They give you the latest figures and financial news crammed into a half-hour. And unlike FNN, much of the financial jargon is translated into English so you don't always need an MBA to understand what's going on. These shows talk about the market—whether it's "edgy" or "encouraged"—as if the market were a living beast with brains. And they give you the news of the day, but of course, only as it affects money. Deaths and the declaration of a police state in South Africa may get mentioned, but only because those events influence gold prices. That, unfortunately, can make the business shows look insensitively greedy. Like regular TV news shows, these also have light little features. The CNN morning and evening programs, for instance, recently reported on the growing American appetite for catfish (perhaps to be expected now that yuppies have found Cajun fare). And one episode of the PBS show had a guest commentary by supply-side (read: Reaganomics) economist Arthur Laffer, who laughs at talk of a coming recession: "Don't let those who dwell on negatives get the better of you." Remember: Economists are just betting men with degrees.

Real Hope for Haiti: Rescue Center
One of the main ministries of Real Hope for Haiti is the Rescue Center. At any one time, up to about 50 babies and young children are being cared for. Some are here because of injuries or other conditions that make it too hard for a family to care for them at home.
This child, for example was born with no bones in her lower leg or foot.
But most are there because of severe malnutrition. This is an ongoing crisis, from long before the earthquake.
Many children are admitted with kwashiorkor–a potentially fatal protein-deficiency disease
Medika Mamba is a lifesaving tool. The primary ingredient of this protein-rich food is peanut butter. Regularly at the RHFH blog there are arrival photos paired up with going home photos, and if you page down at this particular post, you can read a little bit about how they use Medika Mamba and the great impact it can have on families for the sake of the gospel.
Happy mothers returning home with their healthy children
Here are the latest admissions to the Rescue Center.
You can see more of our photos of the Rescue Center and some of the children there.

Our daughter (now 4) was protein deficient and we think one of our newest blessings probably was too. Thank you for sharing this…I just want to wrap my arms around all these little ones.
Noel, Thank you so much for introducing us to this ministry and these families. I've loved purusing their website and learning about the children and families they've cared for. I notice that they don't have any type of doctrinal statement or affiliation listed on their website. Can you comment on that at all or point me in the direction to find it?

LUBBOCK — Texas Department of Public Safety officials identified the injured parties of a major Tuesday morning wreck on U.S. Highway 84 about 4 miles north of Post.
Donnie Medley, 46, of Snyder was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dale Kocher of Abilene, Cecilio Gonzales of Fort Worth and Garza County Chief Deputy Charlie Evans are being treated at University Medical Center, according to a DPS release.
Kocher and Gonzales are listed in critical condition, according to UMC spokesman Eric Finley.
Evans is listed in serious condition.
Finley said doctors listed Evans in satisfactory condition Tuesday night, but he was downgraded to serious and moved to an intensive care unit Wednesday morning.
Officials are unsure to which hospital Kevin Trauger of Lubbock was taken.
Icy weather created slick road conditions on the highway, which caused a tractor-trailer to jackknife, according to DPS Sgt. Bryan Witt.
Garza County sheriff's deputies responding to the wreck arrived on scene and saw a box truck Kocher was driving skid off the road and strike the center median, according to a DPS news release.
Evans, assisted by Trauger, Medley and Gonzales worked to rescue Kocher when another tractor-trailer driven by Arnold Ukawilu of Dallas skidded into the center median and struck them.
Witt said fog and the rapidly dropping temperature combined to make hazardous driving conditions.
He said the drivers who crashed might have been driving at an unsafe speed for the condition of the road.
"You won't know until you hit your brakes that the roads are slick," Witt said.

Our Customers
Committed to serving customers in the UK
Find out more about how we're putting customers first.
We are a UK focused retail and commercial bank that has customers at its heart.
We have a business model that helps us live up to that – our business is enabling individuals and businesses to achieve their goals whichever of our brands a customer chooses.
Lloyds Banking Group today remains rooted in serving customers in the UK. For us this means being dependable, prudent, safe and trustworthy.
"Trust of course can only be restored through our actions, day in day out, doing the right thing for our customers. This is at the heart of our strategy."
António Horta-Osório, CEO, Lloyds Banking Group
Retail and commercial banking is about supporting the UK economy, ensuring payments are made accurately and on time, taking care of customer deposits, and transferring those deposits in a prudent way into lending for businesses and for people buying their homes. With every interaction we have, customer-by-customer, in the communities we serve, we aim to do the right thing. That way we can and we will make a real positive contribution to our customers and the wider economic and social wellbeing of this country.
Doing the right thing
We are determined to learn from the mistakes of the past. We are taking a lead in our sector on rectifying the mis-selling of PPI, to ensure we get the right outcomes for customers. We recognise we cannot claim to be putting our customers first unless we take these difficult decisions and do the right thing, especially when dealing with our legacy issues.
A fundamental part of meeting our customers' needs is getting the basics right first time. We recognise from time to time we do make mistakes, but when this happens, we work hard to fix the issue quickly for the customers involved and learn from any mistake to make sure we don't repeat it. Where a customer raises a complaint we analyse the root cause, seeking to fix any wider issues. That analysis is then fundamental in prioritising our operational plans to improve the customer experience.
"Every day our Customer Services teams strive to ensure that we are doing the right thing; whether that's fixing our legacy issues, improving our processes to reduce the number of complaints we receive or understanding and learning from the root cause of complaints we resolve. Every action taken is to help ensure that customers are at the heart of everything we do."
David Oldfield, Group Director, Operations.
Acting on complaints
We aim to learn from all complaints, looking to understand what actions we can take to make sure they are less likely to recur. Sometimes that action is to update our systems, or to improve our processes to cut down call waiting times; sometimes it is providing more training or information to equip colleagues in giving them the information customers need. The Group is committed to becoming the best bank for all our customers and we have introduced a number of improvements to our products and services, for example we have improved our ISA account opening and transfer processes, meaning colleagues have clearer, simpler process to follow, resulting in an improved the customer experience. This is just one example of who we are working to ensure we are providing excellent customer service for all our customers across all our brands and channels.
You can look at our complaints data in depth. The summary below shows just how far we have come already.
We benchmark complaints against the sector using the industry-wide metric of complaints received per 1,000 accounts. This enables us to compare like-for-like performance.
Over recent years we have seen our complaints numbers approach the best in our sector. We have seen a 65% reduction in complaints since May 2011, while that does not breed complacency, it is proof to us that we are indeed acting on customer demands.
"Our strategy and culture – the way we do things – are inextricably linked. Only by having a customer-focused strategy can a customer-focused culture flourish. Our business is based on relationships within the communities we serve, helping to deliver their long term goals. So, the way for us to help Britain prosper is to be the best bank for customers."
António Horta-Osório, CEO, Lloyds Banking Group
Financial Inclusion
We aim to lead the banking sector in reaching those who are financially excluded and equip them with the confidence and capability to manage their money effectively.
We are the UK's biggest provider of basic bank accounts that help to bring people into the banking system, people who have been in financial difficulty in the past or prisoners who have no access to a bank account once released (excluding those with a history of financial crime). These accounts permit transactions such as receiving income, paying bills and purchasing goods. Research shows that prisoners with a basic bank account are more likely to integrate into society and not reoffend.
We currently provide over three million basic bank accounts.
However, we still need to do more to include wider groups who may be financially excluded especially in the current economic climate. We have a Financial Inclusion Steering Group that is chaired by a Board member. It joins up various products, services and initiatives related to financial inclusion across the bank to make financial inclusion part of our wider customer diversity agenda.
Making banking accessible is important to be the best bank for customers. Around 15 per cent of the UK population has a disability. We were the first bank to introduce a British Sign Language sign video service for customers with hearing impairments, allowing them to contact us via video link with the help of a sign language interpreter. We also have a Disability Services Support team who is available to provide help and support to front line colleagues with disability related queries.
We are currently leading the financial services industry in its response to the Prime Minister's challenge on dementia and the creation of dementia friendly communities.
In conjunction with the National Offender Management Service, we offer more basic banking facilities to prisoners than any other bank.
In 2012 , we opened around 225,000 new accounts and over 100,000 customers who previously had a basic bank account either upgraded to or opened a mainstream bank account.
