Can anyone share with me the HP part number for the CPU fan in the Pavilion 500-223w? The HP Store basically says "out of stock" without identifying a part number. The one I bought doesn't fit (according to the repairman). Alternatively, any idea if a CPU fan for another Pavilion 500 series desktop will fit? Thanks for your thoughts.
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
@Majiktiger, welcome to the forum. If you haven't done so, you should give HP Partsurfer a try to see if it is available. If it is available you will have the part number. Also, did you look for the part # on the fan when you removed it? Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.Read other 1 answers
I would like to be able to add a media card reader to my 3010MT Optiplex Dell PC system. I noticed some machines were equipped with one 5.25" bay sharing a slim optical drive and media card reader in one bay.
What options do I have, do I have to change out my current optical drive or can I buy a media card reader that will fit with correct caddy etc in my current available 5.25" space below my optical drive.?
Basically wanted part numbers for 19 in 1 mcr for my 3010MT. Also, would a generic 5.25 device work?

Just a quick one:Underneath my new Lenovo IdeaPad U430 Touch, there's a sticker with identifying information. It has P/N listed which I presume is Part Number, and S/N which I presume is Serial Number. Then there is MO. What does that stand for?

Hi Osullic,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums.
MO = Machine order number.

I have recently purchased a CD RW that was taken out of a G4 and put into a Firewire case. Unfortunately the seller did not send any drivers with it And my G3 does not recognise it but knows that "unknown CD RW connected to Firewire port. Do you know the part number for it so that I can contact Google and download drivers for same. Thanks, Annodell
Er...... I cannot see any part numbers from here.
Perhaps if you took it out of the case and turned it over......., or maybe on the back.

There should be a Maker's Name and Model Number somewhere on the player.
I have an HP 15 Notebook PC. (Product number & serial # available if needed.) It is out of warranty, I?ve will have owned it for 2 years in June. The fan makes a loud buzzing noise, not all of the time, but enough that it?s extremely annoying, and it is getting louder. I have to tap the left side of the computer to make the buzzing stop, but that isn?t always working any more. Sometimes it will be quiet for a day or more, other times I can?t get it to shut up without powering down the computer. It will start right back up when I re-start though. I have a pretty dusty house with pets, and the notebook is almost 2 years old, so I imagine I need to open it up and clean it out. I want to replace the fan. I figure if I?m going to go through the hassle of opening the machine to clean it, I might as well replace the fan at the same time in case cleaning doesn't stop the noise. I understand the fans are not very expensive. Here?s the problem. I cannot find the part number for the fan. I tried using the HP PartSurfer, but it doesn?t recognize my machine. Not by Product name, Product Number or Serial Number. I also tried going to the HP Parts Store, but there is something wrong there. I cannot access the site. I get ?Secure Connection Failed? on Firefox, ?This page can?t be displayed? on Internet Explorer 11; and ?Hmm, we can't reach this page? on Edge.

Hi I have just purchased a Pavillion 15-p189sa from PC World. The product supplied actually has suffix na rather than sa ie Pavillion 15-p189na on the box. I cannot determine what the difference the suffix relates to from the HP website. Please could you explain the difference. Have I been sold a different specification item ie not what I thought I was purchasing or does the suffix relate to something else? Regards Wphil
View Solution.
I eventually got a response from PC World (UK) who had consulted with HP - The performance specification of Pavillion 15-p189sa is the same as Pavillion 15-p189na. The latter 'na' part is the newer item and has a slightly different cosmetic appearance, it has a texture finish to the cover. I'd say it's likely this would be the same for similar HP laptops from PC World at the moment.Read other 6 answers

In January of 1907, three identical Maxwell automobiles traveled a distance of 249 miles between New York and Boston to evaluate the effectiveness of gasoline, kerosene, and ethyl alcohol (ethanol) as motor fuels. Despite severe conditions and heavy snows, the total distance traveled during the three-day test was sufficient "to allow accurate comparisons between the three fuels," according to the comparison committee that sanctioned the test. The results, certified by official observers who accompanied the three Maxwell cars, gave an average of 10.1 mpg for gasoline, 7.4 mpg for kerosene, and 8.1 mpg for the alcohol fuel. The price of the alcohol fuel was its primary drawback, costing four times as much per gallon as gasoline, but The New York Times, in its Feb. 12, 1907 edition, was optimistic about ethanol: "... It is believed that within a short time the price will be materially reduced so that it may be a successful financial competitor with gasoline. At present, the price is the only drawback. In all other respects alcohol more than verified the expectations as a fuel possessing excellent motive power."
Any moonshiner can tell you the recipe for ethanol. Mix sugar and water and yeast and let it ferment for a day or two. The yeast will break down with the glucose sugar molecules (C6H12O6) to form ethanol and carbon dioxide (CO2). Don't have any sugar? Don't worry. You can use almost any starchy food, like potatoes, wheat, or corn, which use heat to break down the starches into sugars with the help of naturally occurring enzymes and then use yeast to make alcohol. Ethanol is actually toxic to yeast, so about the strongest a batch of "mash" can get is 15 percent alcohol. That's where a still comes in.
Separating the alcohol from the water using a still is a simple process called distillation. Ethanol boils at 75.4 degrees C, significantly lower than water's boiling point. If you heat the mash that contains 15 percent alcohol above ethanol's boiling point but below water's boiling point, the ethanol will vaporize. All you have to do is collect the vapor with a tube and condense it back into a liquid by cooling it and you have 190 proof (about 95 percent pure mixed with 5 percent water) alcohol. Moonshine. Serve it in a mason jar if you are a traditionalist.
Aside from its virtues as an intoxicant, the energy contained in ethanol has real value as a fuel. The V-2 rocket used by the Germans during World War II was powered by burning liquid ethanol mixed with liquid oxygen. This same fuel was used in the Redstone rocket that launched America's first satellite into space. Long before that, ethanol was recognized as a potential fuel to power the automobile.
World War I resulted in a shortage of oil and U.S. ethanol production jumped to 50-60 million gallons per year. After the war, ethyl alcohol as a fuel continued to fascinate motorists and researchers. The University of Michigan's Professor of Chemistry, Eugene H. Leslie, wrote a book in 1923 titled Motor Fuels: Their Production and Technology. He noted: "The value of ethyl alcohol as a motor fuel when used in a mixture with gasoline ... has been amply demonstrated." Leslie surveyed a variety of sources, including molasses, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and artichokes, but found that, "If any other grains are to be used for alcohol manufacture in this country corn will be the one." This was 1923. In a premonition of an argument used against corn ethanol today he noted, "The better grades of corn cannot be used for alcohol manufacture because of their greater value for feed and food."
By the early '30s, the use of alcohol blended with gasoline as a motor fuel was common in many parts of the world. Argentina, Austria, Brazil, France, and Italy all decreed that alcohol be mixed into gasoline supplies to reduce imports of foreign oil or refined gasoline. In Germany, alcohol, produced chiefly from potatoes and also from grains and molasses, was mixed extensively to extend that country's limited petroleum supplies. In the U.S., however, a dark cloud formed on alcohol's horizon. A group of oil companies decided to flex their muscle and oppose the dilution of their profits that they perceived would come from a gasoline and alcohol motor fuel. A 1933 article in The New York Times, titled "Motor Fuel Blend Decried by Oilmen," reported, "The proposal that Congress enact a law requiring that all gasoline sold in the United States as motor fuel be blended with 10 percent by volume of alcohol made from agricultural products grown within the continental United States is opposed by oil companies on the grounds that it would give motorists a fuel inferior to that which is obtained solely from crude oil and that the prices would be higher." Big agriculture wanted into the fuel business and the oil companies wanted to keep it out.
The warfare between big agriculture and big oil came to a head on Apr. 14, 1936, at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Kansas City. As reported in The New York Times, the oilmen were represented by Dr. Gustav Egloff, director of research of the Universal Oil Products Company of Chicago, and Dr. J.C. Morrell, the company's associate director. Dr. Egloff and Dr. Morrell summarized their arguments: "Alcohol gasoline is a distinctly inferior motor fuel in performance, consumption, and upkeep of the motor. Difficult starting, slow acceleration, overheating of engines, and rougher driving can be expected. Economically, blending can result only in economic loss to society, and additional unestimated losses will result to the country at large from the political, moral, and health hazards." Faced with this argument, Dr. Leo Christensen, from the Farm Chemurgic Council, could only point to a new market for farm products, extra farm income, and the potential for 2 million new jobs as reasons to blend gasoline with alcohol. The oilmen, seemingly without irony, came back with an argument on "moral and political grounds." The New York Times wrote, "Tests show, they assert, that the grain alcohol could easily be extracted from the gasoline mixture and would provide good drinking liquor at automobile bars at a cost of only 5 cents per quart. This, they say, would add considerably to drunken driving and motor accidents."
Dr. Egloff also addressed the supply of oil: "... At the present rate of discovery of new fields, it's practically inexhaustible, and that the hydrogenation of coal would provide a supply of oil for 10,000 years." He concluded with the remark that, "If it were desirable, from a purely technical point of view, to produce alcohol for motor fuel use, the oil industry can make it in enormous volumes, from cracked gases from petroleum refining, at a price highly competitive with any produced from farm products." When Dr. Oscar C. Bridgeman from the National Bureau of Standards supported the position of big oil, old carbon and the oil companies ended up the big winners. The idea of using new carbon ethanol as America's motor fuel was put back onto the shelf where it would more or less stay for the next 60 years.

This is a carbon fiber iPhone mockup that I normally wouldn't care about, but this one comes with a humorous story. Supposedly, Apple will be developing a special edition carbon fiber iPhone called the Carbon Electra X Apple iPhone. It will be limited to 200 units and be given away in the Oscars goodie bags. This is where the story gets iPhoney, but kind of funny.
In addition to the beautiful carbon fiber case, the phone will come pre-loaded with every M.O.P. song ever produced, every episode of Mythbusters and Rosario Dawson's cell number. There is also a custom software installed, approved by the FAA, that allows you to use your phone while on board any commercial airplane.
Who the hell is M.O.P? Regardless, it will also (not) be available for $700, 11-percent of which will be donated to the International TonTon Preservation Fund.
UPDATE: ENOUGH with the email. You know this isn't real, yes?

As their flights keep them close to the ground, this gives you an up close and personal look at some of the incredible damage.
We put ourselves and machines at risk in order to get the best footage possible. We hope you enjoy it, and we are currently working on a red cross donation fund for all the victims in need.

"We still have a lot of things we want to work on, but I saw a lot of good out there tonight," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "Every player on our bench contributed something in this game and we need that to continue throughout the regular season."
Indeed, the numbers looked good across the board for the Bucs, but Nuckles' 18 points and 14 rebounds, along with Rhoda's 12 points and 11 rebounds were quite impressive. The Bucs shot a blistering 21-of-36 from the floor for a 57.5 percent shooting clip, while also holding VASDA to just 28.8 percent from the floor.
The Bucs led just minutes of play in the game, but outscored VASDA 28-18 the rest of the first half to lead 47-35 at the break. In the second half, ETSU opened up their offense and used a 15-5 offensive spurt to take a 64-41 lead with remaining in the game. Gradually building their lead from there, a 15-0 run at the end of the game finalized the result.
The entire starting lineup for the Bucs shot well over 50 percent from the floor, with Smith hitting on 8-of-10 and Anthony connecting on 6-of-8 shooting, including a 3-of-3 mark from 3-point range.
For VASDA, Marcus Robinson led the way with 16 points, while Reggie Brown and Ron Lewis both had 13 points.
The Bucs will open their regular season against UVa.-Wise on Saturday, Nov. 20, with tip scheduled for in

1st Quarter: If Notre Dame High School's Cole Riniker wants to play the games of his life this postseason, My ZITHROMAX experience, he can thank me for it. In the 2A postseason capsule that ran in Monday's newspaper, I failed to mention Riniker and the problems he can create for opponents, ZITHROMAX no rx. At 6-foot-6 with great moves in the paint, Comprar en línea ZITHROMAX, comprar ZITHROMAX baratos, there are few players in the Nikes' district that can match up with him. When healthy, he can be a game-changer and could be the difference between the Nikes reaching substate or falling just short, ZITHROMAX without a prescription. Riniker started the season missing several games with back problems, but then he went on a tear, BUY ZITHROMAX NO PRESCRIPTION. Late in the season he fought the flu, Buying ZITHROMAX online over the counter, but has come back strong. When he's healthy, he makes the Nikes tough to beat, my ZITHROMAX experience, especially with Alex Kuster, Order ZITHROMAX from mexican pharmacy, Kullen Koelker and Jeff Giannettino creating matchup problems of their own at guard.
2nd Quarter: Speaking of post players, it's been a banner season for that position in girls basketball in the area, rx free ZITHROMAX. It's going to be the toughest position to pick for the All-Hawk Eye team for sure, ZITHROMAX from mexico, considering there are at least a half a dozen who would be worthy selections. BUY ZITHROMAX NO PRESCRIPTION, Much was expected of Van Buren's Hanna Haynes, Columbus' Megan Pretz, Central Lee's Taylor Burdette, Mediapolis' Andrea Larson and West Central's Maria Steck among others, but the one player who already belongs with that quality group is New London's Morgan Christner. I did not get to see her play, but statistically Christner had one of the better freshman seasons I can remember, effects of ZITHROMAX, coming up just 11 rebounds short of 300 this season, ZITHROMAX from canada, and averaging a double-double. New London finished 7-15, but I wonder how many fewer games the Tigers would have won without Christner's presence, where can i find ZITHROMAX online. She will be a treat to watch the next three years. Where can i order ZITHROMAX without prescription, I think the senior-less Tigers are in line for big things in the next couple years.

Naturally, I'm getting Twitter followers, buy cheap ZITHROMAX no rx, namely players and coaches, and I'm getting plenty of retweets and favorited tweets.

4th Quarter: All-district teams are coming out soon, and I'm glad Kollin Alfred and Todd Rogers received their just due as the 1A and 3A coach of the year, respectively, in the Southeast district. BUY ZITHROMAX NO PRESCRIPTION, There has been a lot of pressure on the Nikes to win this season, and Alfred handled it well. Of the three losses, it's hard to justify winning any of the three. The Nikes, whose setbacks have been to Class 3A schools, fell behind badly in each one and couldn't recover. The Nikes have been ranked in the top five all season, won the SEI Superconference South Division (on better overall win percentage than Central Lee) and now have bigger goals in sight.
Rogers' program is on autopilot through years of building it up. There are seven seniors on a team that won the elusive SEISC championship, BUY ZITHROMAX NO PRESCRIPTION. The Bullettes' only loss was to Mid-Prairie, and the two may meet again. Both Notre Dame and Mediapolis are searching for their first state tournament appearances in the 5-on-5 era.

- Description
These kits are a direct replacement for original rubber brake lines which allow a degree of expansion under heavy braking, known as line swell. Line swell results in a spongy feel to the brake pedal and this increases with the age of the original brake line.
Manufactured by Goodridge from hose consisting of a PTFE inner with a tightly woven stainless steel outer braid, braided brake lines virtually eliminate line swell and in consequence provide increased pedal stiffness and feel.

Food security and sustainability top agenda as Rojas-Briales takes the helm
Creating sustainable and secure food systems will be high on the agenda for Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy, said Eduardo Rojas-Briales, FAO Assistant Director-General for Forestry, who has been named Commissioner-General for the United Nations' preparations for the event.
The theme of Expo 2015 will be 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life'. Participants will focus on issues like food security, women and nutrition, sustainable development, and climate change, which tie directly into the work done by FAO and other UN system agencies.
Our challenge for Expo 2015 is to provoke thought and inspire action, as part of an ongoing process to create sustainable and secure food systems," said Rojas, who was appointed Commissioner-General by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
"The UN will work with its partners and the Expo 2015 host country, Italy, to share what we've learned in our efforts to improve lives. We hope to help governments, organizations, companies and families make more conscious and consistent decisions on food security, nutrition, sustainable development and other issues that are critical to our planet," Rojas added.
FAO, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Food Programme (WFP), and Bioversity International, will lead the effort to showcase the activities and best practices of the United Nations in fields related to the themes of the Expo.
Expo 2015
The Expo, also known as the World's Fair, was first held 160 years ago and is a global non-commercial exposition that aims to promote the exchange of ideas on culture, economy, science and technology. Around 140 countries are expected to take part in Expo 2015, including around 80 developing countries. International organizations, civil society, the private sector and the media will also be there.
In addition to serving as Assistant Director-General at FAO, Mr. Rojas-Briales is the current Chair of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests, an informal arrangement comprising 14 international organizations, agencies and secretariats that promote the sustainable management of all types of forests.

The term is Japanese, and its historical reference is referred to in all the promo materials and in a sequence of the film, but "Ronin" doesn't feature a single Japanese person in it, as near as I can determine.
Ronin were Japanese samurai that had lost their master, through battle, misfortune, suicide, betrayal; any number of causes. Since their job was to keep their master alive, they were now swords-for-hire.
If you already have the initial DVD of "Ronin," then you already have the director's commentary from the late John Frankenheimer, and the alternate ending. The reason to buy the 2-disc Collector's Edition is for the second DVD. It has about two hours of documentaries.
The really impressive things, covered in the "Ronin: Filming in the Fast Lane" and "The Driving of Ronin" docs, were the amazing car chases through the narrow streets of Paris. The cars are shown ripping at 100 mph through the alleyways with barely two feet of clearance on either side. There are also amazing scenes with cars traveling the wrong way on busy streets and the Paris underground expressways.
Frankenheimer, famous for films such as "Grand Prix" and the "French Connection" films, was given a lot of unprecedented leeway by French officials. Normally, films made in Paris are "cheaply and badly made," said Director of Photography Robert Fraisse. According to stunt-car coordinator Jean-Claude Lagniez, the Paris Chief of Police told them "Let them do whatever they want."
The other documentaries are competent, if a little slow in points. Fraisse discusses Frankenheimer's preference for using wide-angle lenses and composing frames. Editor Tony Gibbs talks about the frenetic pace and cutting that goes into an action picture such as "Ronin." Composer Ella Cmiral talks about the challenges of making his first major film score. And Natascha McElhone discusses her first major role and how gender-neutral it was, despite her character being the only woman and the one in charge.
The boring segment is the 1998 Venice Film Festival interviews with Robert De Niro, Jean Reno and McElhone. The interviews are flat, standard-issue questions-and-answers. An animated photo gallery is thrown in at the end, but after all the moving action, it seems rather pedestrian.
What's missing here is a documentary on ronin and who they actually were. A political documentary on the unemployed mercenaries wouldn't have been out-of-place here, either.
All of the documentaries have copyright dates of 2003 and 2004, so it would seem that this disc was delayed a few years. Whether you should upgrade to this disc depends on how much you want to know the behind-the-scenes info. If you're a big Frankenheimer fan, it's worth it.

You can begin working with a deposit of any size, — $10 or $1000 — accurately increasing it in order to cross over to bigger investments for increased profit. Most of our clients began as new traders with a $10 deposit, and have developed into professional traders with thousands of dollars. And now you may do the same!
You can choose any leverage from 1:1 up to 1:500 depending on the risk management strategy you use when trading. Should you be a long term trader who abides by conservatism when it comes to capital management, then a 1:100 leverage is for you. But if you are an aggressive type of daytime trader, then a 1:500 leverage may become your irreplaceable profit tool.

A Developer.com Site
An Eweek.com Site
hiya !!!
can anybody tell me , how can yahoo chat detect the IP and the computer name behind a proxy???
if i have a firewall install ,still it can detect the ip and the computer name
hmmmmm a firewall and a proxy are 2 completely different things...
are you behind a proxy & a firewall or have you mistaken a proxy for a firewall?
a proxy acts like a messanger between you and the ip u wish to connect to
you -your request-> proxy server - your request -> yahoo chat
yahoo chat -their reply -> proxy server -their reply-> you
so the only ip they will get is the proxy servers ip
but if you have a firewall installed yahoo still connects to you but the firewall blocks traffic on certain ports so unauthorised progs cannot connect to the net nor can pep connect to you through open ports (ie: if you had sub7 on your computer the kiddiot still couldn't connect to it as its port (1243 or 27374 I think is the new one) would be blocked by the firewall
hope that helps oh and just a minor thing perhaps next time this question would be better posted in newbie questions - it will get alot better response than in the web-development forum
lol at that post Web Development, I guess he sure is a newbie

***Mods - feel free to move this if you want but was wondering if it could be kept on the main page at least today. It'll probably only take that time to fill out the rest of the league.***
For the last two years I've run a fantasy league for .NET members (and finished 9th and 10th in the process). It's been good fun and an active league so far, but a few members haven't taken up their renewel invites. The draft takes place this Sunday so we need at least one more person to enter for the league to qualify.

Anyone is welcome to enter but obviously would rather have people who will be active throughout and preferably will attend the draft.

Hi Pam, trying to find someone to hit with or play a match...if you are able to, would be great! I'm 3.0 and live in St. Pete. Thanks!! ;-)
My name is Nicole. I was wondering if you wanted to hit?
Hi Pam,
I see you live in the St Petersburg area but you have not joined the " St Petersburg Group " yet. If you join the group more than 200 people from the local area will be able to see your profile much easier. Let me know if you need any help.
Hi Pam, when are you looking to play. I have a relatively flexible schedule.

Discussion/Argument on Facebook About the Far Right
This was a discussion-turned-argument I had on Facebook yesterday and this morning. I haven't actually seen this person for at least a couple of years, so I was quite shocked to see a wall post claiming he hated "Pakis".
I initially wanted to probe around gently to try and see why he said that and perhaps, after a lengthy discussion, bring him round. Were this a complete stranger I perhaps would have been more aggressive in my approach, but when I saw him frequently I valued his friendship, so I wanted to keep relations intact. As you can see, this failed immediately and went downhill from there: (NOTE: you might have to click on the image if it's too small to read the writing on here.

Re: Discussion/Argument on Facebook About the Far Right
Shockingly, people with right-wing views are also very often giant assholes. I know it comes as a surprise to many people, but when your political views include that idea that it is ideal and necessary for some people to live in abject poverty so that other people can be fabulously wealthy, you probably have a generally broken personality.

I have lost three friends from high school that I re-established friendships with on Facebook for the horrible sin of posting links exposing the hypocrisy/idiocy/racism/etc. of Tea Party-types. I do not dislike them for being Tea Party suppoorters, but they cannot seem to extend the same courtesy to me. Funny how that works.

You are friends with this person?
If this is what passes for deep intellectualism in this person's world, then why bother keeping the pretense of friendship. Unless you plan to use this person as a meat shield in the looming zombie apocalypse..

Re: Discussion/Argument on Facebook About the Far Right
Fuck him. Right off the bat he insults you and falls back on the much parroted insult of "communist" as soon as you tried to reason with him. Unfortunately, I've had similar experiences with friends both online and real life. The funny thing is that I never started those fights, it's always started with someone ranting about "lefties" ruining the country so I HAD to say something to that. It sucks living in conservative Orange County, California.

Re: Discussion/Argument on Facebook About the Far Right
I've known him since I was eleven. Then in the last few years he became quite eccentric, started leaning to the very far right, became a teenage father, got arrested etc... :/ Haven't seen him at all for months now.
EDIT: I would make a quick point that my views nowadays are probably slightly further to the left than the ones I touched upon in that Facebook argument. Still staunchly moderate, but increasingly of the opinion that excessively rich people (ie: those who earn several million per year) should be taxed far more than they are. It is not right to deny funding to healthcare, schools, research institutions, social services etc while individuals hoard more money than they could ever spend. Oh, and we should scrap several aspects of our military, particularly our nuclear arsenal.

LONGMIRE, Wash. (AP) — Searchers on Tuesday reached a pair of snowboarders who had been stranded on Mount Rainier for two nights in fresh snow that was chest-deep in places and so soft that rescuers had to "swim" through it, national park officials said.
Derek Tyndall and Thomas Dale didn't appear to have frostbite or other injuries when rescuers reached them around 11 a.m., spokeswoman Lee Snook said.
The two had been stuck on the 14,410-foot mountain since Sunday after getting lost in whiteout conditions and digging a snow cave for protection.
Rescuers first spotted the men Monday but couldn't immediately hike to them because of darkness and avalanche danger.
After reaching the pair Tuesday morning, rescuers gave Tyndall, 21, and Dale, 20, warm liquids and were assessing them to determine if they could walk back down the mountain on their own. The hike was just a few miles, but conditions were treacherous with snow up to 4 feet deep.
It took searchers about two hours to reach the men from the Paradise ranger station, but Snook was certain they would make it back out before dark.
Tyndall is from Sumner, Wash., and Dale is from Indiana, Snook said. She couldn't confirm media reports that Dale's hometown is Fort Wayne, Ind., and she didn't know how the two knew each other.
Tyndall and Dale were snowboarding Sunday near Camp Muir, a climbers' layover at about the 10,000-foot level of Mount Rainier. They became lost in a snowstorm with high winds that created whiteout conditions, Snook said.
They used a cellphone to call 911 and said they were digging a snow cave for protection.
The two weren't equipped to stay overnight. But they used the cellphone to check in again Monday morning before its battery died, saying they were cold but OK.
Rescuers spotted the pair Monday at about the 7,000-foot level below McClure Rock on the lower Paradise glacier. They were about a half-mile from the two — close enough to wave — but were forced back by nightfall and dangerous conditions.
Thirty rescuers working in five-member teams went out Tuesday through snow 2- to 4-feet deep, Snook said. It was so soft members had to take turns "swimming through the snow" to break a trail.
They were only a few miles from the Paradise ranger station, which is at the 5,400-foot level, but "it's not a straight shot," Snook said.
The weather was better than expected Tuesday with patches of clear sky.
The heavy snow is not unusual for the park.
"This is what happens on Mount Rainier," Snook said. "This is why people use Mount Rainier to train for Mount Everest."

"It's a jungle out there - and we're living in it. Jim Sterba's
Nature Wars
is a smart, stylish and altogether provocative account of how we are confounded by that which we claim to hold so dear - Mother Nature and all her creatures moving in right next door. --Tom Brokaw
"A wonderful, thought-provoking, important book that will overturn everything you thought you knew about wildlife in America. Jim Sterba confronts the shibboleths that make man-versus-beast conflicts so vexing, divisive, and fascinatingly complex."
--David Baron, author of
The Beast in the Garden.
"Jim Sterba describes a cockeyed country whose denizens spend billions to imitate "nature" in their own small domains, little realizing that their excess creates an environment to which other species are fatefully drawn in increasing, sometimes alarming numbers; that they themselves are the creatures who throw this shared habitat out of whack. An unusual feat of deep and sustained reporting, Nature Wars is full of surprises and marked, from first page to last, by uncommon sense, graceful writing and precious wit."
--Joseph Lelyveld, author of
Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India.
"Quite unintentionally and with little awareness by its inhabitants, over the past century the Eastern United States has become one of the most heavily forested and densely populated regions in world history. Nature Wars explores this marvelous story of environmental recovery and the opportunities and challenges that it brings to its residents and the entire globe in fascinating detail and with great insight by Jim Sterba. This is a great book – a story with lessons for us all." – David R. Foster, Director of the Harvard Forest.
"It's a truly original piece of work, often – I would say – inspired, told in a pitch-perfect voice, just north of sarcastic and south of appalled. At any event, a terrific read on a subject that is all around us yet largely unobserved." --Ward Just, author of

Nature Wars: The Incredible Story of How Wildlife Comebacks Turned Backyards into Battlegrounds.
From the Author of Frankie's Place: A Love STory
Kirkus: Best of 2012
Kirkus Reviews names Nature Wars a Best Non-Fiction Book of 2012.
      WINNER/2013 GREEN PRIZE FOR SUSTAINABLE LITERATURE /Wildlife Conservation
City of Santa Monica and Library
       "His book, written with considerable charm and more wit than commonly found in works that deal with ecosystems, includes extensive and often entertaining treatments of such common nuisances as beavers, Canada geese, and feral cats, as well as various animal support lobbies that make life miserable and sometimes dangerous for wildlife control agents. For the denatured reader, there is a wealth of useful statistics."
-- Russell Baker, New York Review of Books, Feb. 21, 2013.
      "If you love animals and trees and other wonders of the natural world, this book will astonish you. Sterba's great gifts are reportorial energy, out-of-the-box thinking, and an easy, relaxed prose style that makes
Nature Wars
a pleasure to read, even as its counterintuitive discoveries explode on every page."
--Daniel Okrent, author of
Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.
The Los Angeles Times
"new and startling facts...a sweeping and thoughtful work..."
Audubon Magazine Notable Book
   For 400 years, European explorers, traders, and settlers plundered North American wildlife and forests in an escalating rampage that culminated in the late 19th century "era of extermination." By 1900, upwards of thirty million deer had been reduced to less than 500,000, ten million wild turkeys were down to 30,000, many wild animal and bird populations were isolated remnants or threatened with extinction, and worry mounted that our country was running out of trees.
   Then, in the 20th century, an incredible turnaround took place. Today, it is quite likely that more people live in closer proximity to more wild animals, birds and trees in America than anywhere on the planet at any time in history. This should be wonderful news -- unless, perhaps, you are one of 4,000 drivers who will hit a deer today, your child's soccer field is carpeted with goose droppings, coyotes are killing your pets, the neighbor's cat has turned your bird feeder into a fast-food outlet, wild turkeys have eaten your newly-planted seed corn, beavers have flooded your driveway, or bears are looting your garbage cans.
Nature Wars
tells the story of how a wildlife comeback miracle became such a mess.
   Trees had already begun to reclaim abandoned farm land in the 19th century, the start of the largest reforestation in the Americas since the Mayan collapse. In the 20th century, conservationists outlawed commercial hunting, created wildlife refuges, transplanted isolated species to restored habitats, and slowly nursed many wild populations back to health. Then, after the Second World War, something happened that conservationists hadn't foreseen: sprawl. People moved first into suburbs on urban edges, and then kept moving out across the landscape. By 2000, a majority of Americans lived neither in cities or country but in that vast in-between called sprawl, which attracted a surprising number of wild species, too. The result was a mix of people, trees, and wildlife that should have been a nature-lover's dream come true. It was, and it wasn't. Many people couldn't cope.
   The trouble was that baby boomers and their offspring had increasingly withdrawn from the natural world. They spent most of their time indoors, got anthropomorphized versions of wild nature from films and TV, and were encouraged to treat pets like children and wild animals like pets. They discarded their grandparents' hard-won knowledge of the working landscape and forgot obligations of responsible stewardship. Their Earth Day instincts told them to save creatures and trees. But as wild species multiplied and trouble with them grew, they faced a new reality: too much of a good thing. Conflicts erupted over how to deal with it. People divided into species partisans, staged demonstrations, went to court, and raised and spent fortunes to save geese, beavers, cats, coyotes, bears, deer and other creatures from people who wanted to harm or kill them. A growing chorus of environmentalists and wildlife biologists, meanwhile, argued that ecosystems needed protection from some of the very creatures that species partisans sought to save, and that means responsibly managing local landscapes for all their inhabitants, including people.

Hipsters Who Hunt: More Liberals are Shooting Their Own Supper
New Scientist, Culture Lab
"In Nature Wars, author Jim Sterba takes readers on a fascinating journey to the front lines of the human versus wildlife conflicts erupting in backyards across the US."
    "Smart and provocative...Nature Wars is a counterintuitive take on a social problem, and the tone is knowing and smart, not sarcastic or snide." Elizabeth Taylor.
The Incredible Story of How Wildlife Comebacks Turned Backyards into Battlegrounds
Author: Sterba, Jim
    Journalist Sterba (Frankie's Place: A Love Story, 2003, etc.) employs humor and an eye for the absurd to document the sometimes bizarre conflicts that arise as a consequence of America's transformed relationship with nature.
    As forest cover has grown back to more than two-thirds of its pre-colonial extent, wildlife recovery from the "so-called era of extermination in the last half of the nineteenth century" has accelerated. People who grew up with teddy bears and Disney's Bambi have different attitudes to furry, cuddly creatures than their grandparents did. Nowadays, someone can get death threats while trying to protect communities from resurgent populations of dangerous wild creatures like coyotes and bears, or even from the activities of feral cats. Sterba provides a summary history of the wilderness colonists found, the replacement of the great eastern forest with farmland and the market-driven extermination of wildlife through commercial hunting and trapping. He continues with cases studies of beaver, deer, bear and geese to show how, as land has reverted to forest, human communities have been polarized by the development of "problems" with each of these species and others. The author presents a repeating pattern: At first, returners are welcomed and encouraged with food, only to be rejected as the dangerous downside begins to emerge. Detailed accounts of efforts to outline solutions, and also of such often-overlooked consequences of this pattern as roadkill, supplement this deeply conflicted overall picture.
    An eye-opening take on how romantic sentimentalism about nature can have destructive consequences. 08/01/2012
    In his latest, journalist Sterba (Frankie's Place: A Love Story) provocatively and persuasively argues that just at the moment when humankind has distanced itself irrevocably from nature, its behavior patterns have put people in conflict with a natural world that they don't know how to deal with. Dividing his work into three parts ("Forest People," "Wild Beasts," and "The Denatured Life"), Sterba boldly argues against the prevailing touchy-feely view of nature. Replete with statistics and a historical understanding of the cycles of humankind's interaction with nature, Sterba tells of forests being cleared and animals hunted to extinction (until the conservation movement stepped in to curtail the damage), and people, already disconnected from the land, sprawled out into new artificial living arrangements that allowed "nuisance" animals to thrive. The deer, beavers, and brown bears that appear in exurbanites' backyards have dire consequences for the ecological balance and our daily existence. Sterba takes aim at those who protest hunting as a means of population control, movies that anthropomorphize animals into harmless creatures, and Americans who no longer understand nature. Though Sterba can be self-righteous, the book presents a valuable counternarrative to the mainstream view of nature-human interaction. (Nov.)

"If there is one lesson to be learned from Jim Sterba's book, it is: Be careful what you wish for. Having decimated our planet's natural state, we are blithely over-compensating, over –correcting and overturning the balance of nature yet again. Nature, as seen by most of us through a double glazed picture window revealing a manicured lawn….but what's that moose being chased by a coyote being chased by a black bear, doing there? Read Nature Wars and weep. Or at least, stop and think."
– Morley Safer, 60 Minutes.
"Most Americans now live not in cities but in regrown forests, among at least as many deer as when Columbus landed. Jim Sterba tells us how this came to be and why it isn't all good. In graceful, clear-eyed prose, he explains why we need to relearn how to cut, cull and kill, to restore a more healthy balance to our environment." Paul Steiger, Editor-in-Chief, ProPublica.
"Anything Jim Sterba writes is worth reading--and his latest,
Nature Wars
, is terrific. Sterba casts a reporter's sharp eye on a little noticed war unfolding under our noses, in our own backyards."
-Joseph L. Galloway, co-author of
We Were Soldiers Once...and Young
, and
We Are Soldiers Still
"Although few of us realize it, America is at a turning point where we must rethink our most fundamental ideas about nature, animals, and how we live. Fortunately we have a wise and witty guide in Jim Sterba, whose
Nature Wars
. is my favorite kind of read -- a book that affectionately recasts much of what we thought we knew about our nation's past and our relationship to the American wild, while at the same time revealing how intimately we ourselves are a part of nature, but in the most surprising and unexpected ways. In Sterba's hands, your everyday notions about the creatures around you -- whether pests, pets, or magnificent beasts -- will turn into entirely new ways of seeing the world." -Trevor Corson, author of
The Secret Life of Lobsters
The Story of Sushi.
"At last someone's grappling with the elephant in the room – or rather the deer, the coyote, the beaver, the bear. Sterba's book may strike some as observational comedy but he's deadly serious. Every word rings true. Nature is vengeful."
– John Darnton, author of
Almost a Family
"In this book, Jim Sterba has given us a fascinating, powerful, and important lesson in why we should be careful when we mess with Mother Nature."
– Winston Groom, author of
Forrest Gump
"Jim Sterba has done a brilliant job explaining how it happens that drivers more often than ever run into deer, wild turkeys gorge on newly-planted seed corn, and why golf courses are filled with people chasing geese down the fairways with 5 irons in hand. This informative and beautifully written book gives us the effect of civilization (often well-meaning) on the natural habitat, both flora and fauna." – Peter Duchin, musician and author of
Ghost of Chance
Jim Sterba has been a foreign correspondent, war correspondent and national news reporter for more than three decades for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He and his wife, the author Frances FitzGerald, live in New York City, and spend summers at

A statistical picture of the impact of wet weather on Mid-South crops still has not come into focus, although USDA is acknowledging significant problems with a portion of the Mid-South cotton crop.
In its Nov. 9 Crop Production Report, USDA projects cotton yield declines from last month of 144 pounds for Arkansas and 183 pounds for Missouri, but smaller declines for Louisiana, 43 pounds; Tennessee, 27 pounds; and Mississippi, 67 pounds.
Texas producers also expect lower yields due to the effects of the cool, wet weather on the late-planted crop. Upland growers in Georgia, North Carolina, and Oklahoma are expecting record high yields.
Nationwide, cotton production is forecast at 12.5 million bales, down 4 percent from last month and down 2 percent from last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 12.1 million bales, down 4 percent from last month and down 2 percent from last year. American-Pima production is forecast at 367,000 bales.
For soybeans, despite estimates of 50 percent loss in some parts of Arkansas, USDA projected a decline of only 1 bushel per acre for the state. USDA projected a 3-bushel per acre decline for Mississippi while projected soybean yield remained the same or rose in other Mid-South states.
U. S. soybean production is forecast at a record high 3.32 billion bushels, up 2 percent from October and up 12 percent from last year. Based on Nov. 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 43.3 bushels per acre, up 0.9 bushel from last month and up 3.6 bushels from 2008.
If realized, this will be the highest U.S. soybean yield on record. Compared with last month, yields are forecast higher or unchanged in all states except Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, and Texas. Increases of 3 bushels are expected in Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, and Maryland.
The largest decrease in yield from the October forecast is expected in Mississippi where excessive rain during October hindered yield expectations. If realized, the forecasted yield in Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ohio, and Pennsylvania will be a record high and the forecasted yield in Georgia, Maryland, and North Carolina will tie the previous record high.
Area for harvest is forecast at 76.6 million acres, unchanged from last month but up 3 percent from 2008.
U.S. corn production is forecast at 12.9 billion bushels, down 1 percent from last month but 7 percent higher than 2008. Based on conditions as of Nov. 1, yields are expected to average 162.9 bushels per acre, down 1.3 bushels from October but 9 bushels above last year.
Despite the drop in yield from October, this yield will be the highest on record if realized. Total production will be second highest on record, only behind 2007. Within the Corn Belt, forecasted yields in Minnesota and Wisconsin increased, while Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan yields decreased.
U.S. rice harvest is projected at 218 million hundredweight, down a little over 2 million hundredweight from October. Projected rice yields declined from last month in Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, but increased for Louisiana.
