- The scene in "Replacements" where a squad goes off in the middle of the night to look for Bull when he got seperated from them.
- In "Why We Fight," when O'Keefe is sitting on the ground lost in the horror of the concentration camp, Perconte (who earlier had been giving him a hard time), comes and checks on him, asking if he's ok.
- It's also the first time Perconte uses O'Keefe's actual name, a subtle but important gesture as it means he is now accepted, at least by Perconte, as a real soldier instead of merely a replacement.
- While it straddles the line between this and Tear Jerker, when the soldiers find the Concentration Camp, one prisoner comes up to Janovec and starts hugging him with relief. The man bursts into tears while this is happening. Rather than looking freaked out or trying to push him off, Janovec just comforts the man he doesn't even know.
- Another borderline Tear Jerker has the soldiers coming by a woman and her baby on the side of the road. She has her head shaved, which means she was one of the women punished for sleeping with the Germans. Without a word, the soldiers stop and give her provisions.
- All the little moments that show how close the men were. Examples:
- A group running up Currahee with their buddy after he was sent there for punishment.
- The lengths the men go to to rescue their wounded comrades.
- A morbid example, but the way the men all jump into action to find the man who shot Chuck Grant.
- Harry Welsh lugging his reserve chute around because he wants to send it home for Kitty, to be made into a wedding dress. Yes, he did send it home and he got home to marry her as well.
- In the final episode, "Points," teetotaler Richard Winters posts a couple of guards in front of a Nazi bunker - specifically Hermann Goering's house - to protect its contents from looters. . . then tells his friend, the hard-drinking Lewis Nixon (who has been complaining recently about not being able to find his favorite whiskey), to grab anything he wants from the massive wine cellar, then tells him that it's VE-Day, and the fighting in Europe is over. The look on Nixon's face is halfway between poleaxed and bursting into tears of joy.
- Janovec and the German guard at the checkpoint. After months of fighting the Nazi army, it was nice to see two soldiers who until recently had been trying to kill each other exchanging jokes and stories. At least until Janovec dies in a car crash.
- The scene in "Crossroads" where Sgt. Alley gets hurt, and Lipton goes into Team Mom mode and immediately starts soothing him and calming him down.
- After Moose takes over command of Easy, Winters can't stop himself from staying up worrying about the men on their first mission since D-Day without him fighting alongside them.
- The series doesn't state it outright, but the reason that Winters and Moose were at the checkpoint when Moose got shot was because Winters was wanting to check on his old unit and talked Moose into going out to 'inspect' the sentries. The man had a deep, lifelong attachment to his men.
- Shifty Powers, a Toccoa man with fewer points than many of the replacements, laments that he has no chance of going home before the big jump into Japan. His buddies proceed to rig a drawing to ensure that he is chosen 'at random' to go home free and clear. Yes, he was seriously injured, robbed, and got home after most of his buddies due to a vehicle accident, but its the thought that counts.
- At the end of the series; The German generals' speech showing not all Germans were evil.
"Men, it's been a long war, it's been a tough war. You've fought bravely, proudly for your country. You're a special group. You've found in one another a bond, that exists only in combat, among brothers. You've shared foxholes, held each other in dire moments. You've seen death and suffered together. I'm proud to have served with each and every one of you. You all deserve long and happy lives in peace."
- Even more heartwarming because it's a Not So Different moment. Here we have a story about the closeness of brothers-in-arms, and that entire theme is summed up perfectly in this speech. By a German soldier.
- Speirs informing Lipton that all of Easy Company has considered him their real leader for some time now, as he was just naturally doing everything a good leader should, without thinking about it.
- Plus the fact that Lipton was at a complete loss to understand what Speirs was talking about until it was explained to him, point by point. Lipton wasn't concerned about accolades, fame, or reward; all he cared about was his men, and keeping them not only alive, but taken care of.
- The entire tenth episode is so heart-warming it could probably replace central heating altogether. The 'lottery' with only Shifty Powers' lot in the helmet? The German General's speech to his soldiers? The baseball game at the end, where the futures of each surviving Company member are summarised? George Luz's funeral?
Winters: You're a hell of a fine soldier, Shifty. What more is there to say?
- A few of Babe and Doc Roe's interactions in Bagstone count, but what comes to mind especially is when Babe is consumed with guilt over leaving his friend to die and Roe tries to comfort him with chocolate.
- Doc Roe has a subtle moment with Babe. Roe jumps into Babe's foxhole, almost immediately begins fussing over Babe's hand injury, and looks in his bag for a bandage. All he has is the cloth his friend the French nurse wore, and it is all he was able recover from her after the church they were using as a makeshift medical center collapsed in on top of everyone inside during a bombing raid. After almost putting it away again, he abruptly tears it up and begins mending Babe's wound. Babe then notes that Roe has called him 'Babe' for the first time, and teases Roe about his accent.
- The ending of "The Patrol" when Webster, who had been treated as a pariah throughout the episode because he wasn't present at Bastogne, is about to climb onto the truck and Liebgott offers his hand and lifts him up, showing that he is accepted again.
- When he meets a Dutch man and his son, Webster gives the son a bar of chocolate. His father says that he'd never tasted it before. It's a very sweet scene (pun intended).
- When Guarnere and Babe discover they grew up in the same area of Philadelphia and begin to bond.
- Frank John Hughes got to meet Bill Guarnere during production and said in an interview that Bill's opinion of the series and his performance was the only one he cared about.
- When Babe Heffron came to visit the set, he gave Robin Laing the scapular medal he wore throughout the war.
- The fact that for the Ross Owen 10th Anniversary Interviews, they were able to get Michael Fassbender and he enthusiastically talked about his fond memories of working on the series, even though he only played a bit character.
- During the Emmy Awards when the series won "Best Miniseries" and the cast and crew came on stage:
Steven Spielberg: The men of Easy company won this in 1944.
Winters: I want to represent myself as a representative of all them men of Company E that are present and accounted for and of all the men that have passed on before us. And we want to thank Stephen Ambrose for listening to our stories and our memories and telling the story of Band of Brothers. I don't want to forget Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and the entire crew that did a wonderful job of telling our memories. And I also want to thank everyone of you for your support. I salute you. (salutes the audience)
- Then when Spielberg brought Major Winters to the mic.

I just replaced the battery and alternator in my 02 pro5.
The battery light did not go out, so I took it to AutoZone where a bat/alternator test revealed that my alternator was overcharging (it's putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 17 volts).
This is what I am wondering:
1. Is the alternator's overcharging symptomatic of a larger system problem; ie: PCM/ ECU problems?
2. or is it possible that I just got another bad alternator.
I purchased this car yesterday and I noticed that the battery had much corrosion on the positive terminal. (the fact that the old battery was seemingly overcharged leads me to believe that the previous battery/ alternator combination had the same problems)
How would you track down a problem like this?

QB is position of choice in NFL draft
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, April 24, 2011
Although loaded with defensive-line talent, this NFL draft class is not considered strong. It includes a record 56 underclassmen, many of whom are difficult to evaluate because of their limited college experience.
There is no clear-cut No. 1 pick because of quarterback Andrew Luck's decision to remain at Stanford and because of the uncertainty about what the Panthers will do.
Auburn quarterback Cam Newton might rise to the first overall spot if his extraordinary athletic ability outweighs concerns about how quickly he can learn a pro-style offense and questions about his character. There are so many questions about players projected to be picked in the first round that Charley Casserly, the former Washington Redskins and Houston Texans general manager, said, "There's a lot of guys that are kind of scary."
"Quarterback is the highlight of the draft because you've got so many teams that would have filled quarterback needs in the offseason," Casserly said. "Now that they don't have it, do they become more aggressive trading up? I don't see the conviction by people with these quarterbacks"
Here is a team-by-team look at possible draft strategies, with the position of first-round picks in parentheses:
Broncos (2) - Maybe Tim Tebow isn't the answer and they should look for a quarterback. But the Broncos have needs that are more critical, and what they really need is more picks.
Chargers (18) - The Chargers have five picks in the first three rounds. Look for them to use some of them on the defensive front seven.
Chiefs (21) - They were run-heavy last year and struggled to score points down the stretch. Quarterback Matt Cassel can be helped with better protection and an impact receiver.
Raiders (none) - No longer a laughingstock, the Raiders could be contenders if they improve the offensive line. They have to do it without a first-round pick, which they traded to New England. Their first pick will be 48th overall.
Bengals (4) - It would help to know the resolution to the Carson Palmer situation. If he stays, they could make him happier by picking a top-flight wide receiver.
Browns (6) - It's rebuilding time for the Browns, who need defensive linemen to fit their new 4-3 system and a No. 1 wide receiver to give the offense some punch.
Ravens (26) - Same as last year, the Ravens need a deep threat at wide receiver to stretch the offense and give Joe Flacco room for growth.
Steelers (31) - A team that went to the Super Bowl and has consistently productive drafts has few holes, but an injury-riddled offensive line and an aging defensive line could use help.
Titans (8) - One of the teams in need of a quarterback. The defensive front seven needs to be improved, and Kenny Britt's run-ins with the law put the receiving corps in question.
Texans (11) - This team, desperate to make the playoffs, has to have better play from the defense, particularly from the secondary and from pass rushers.
Jaguars (16) - This should be easy. The Jaguars must improve in the secondary, particularly at safety, which was terrible last year. And don't discount the possibility of a quarterback.
Colts (22) - Everybody wondered what was wrong with Peyton Manning last season. The answer, in part, was the offensive line.
Bills (3) - A franchise quarterback might be the most obvious need. But with few, if any, of those in this draft, the Bills could veer toward outside linebacker, where Von Miller awaits.
Dolphins (15) - If an attractive quarterback is available in the first round, this might be the end of the Chad Henne era. The interior of the offensive line also needs to be improved for the running game to be effective.
Patriots (17 and 28) - With two picks in each of the first three rounds, including three in the top 33, the Patriots will wield enormous influence. Pass rusher is their most obvious need, but trades are always part of Bill Belichick's draft-day playbook. And what was all that chatter about running back Mark Ingram? Real or a smokescreen?
Jets (30) - A team that wins with its defense suddenly needs an infusion on the defensive line - at nose tackle and defensive end - and at outside linebacker. The uncertain futures of Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes make wide receiver a position to watch.
Cardinals (5) - They knew they would miss Kurt Warner, but this much? They have to land a quarterback early in the draft or eventually through free agency.
49ers (7) - Jim Harbaugh has said a lot of nice things about Alex Smith, but the Niners need a quarterback. Their other pressing need is an outside linebacker who can improve the pass rush.
Rams (14) - They have an edge in the division because they have a franchise quarterback in Sam Bradford. Now they have to find him some wide receivers.
Seahawks (25) - They need a quarterback, too, but they are one of the teams thought to be interested in Kevin Kolb, so they might not pick one here. The pass defense was a disaster.
Vikings (12) - The draft would be a lot simpler if free agency had allowed them a chance to get Donovan McNabb. Instead, they still need a franchise quarterback. And right after that, they need a wide receiver, because Sidney Rice is likely to leave through free agency.
Lions (13) - Their needs are outside linebacker and offensive line, but coach Jim Schwartz might not be able to resist a pass-rushing defensive end.
Bears (29) - It's past time for the Bears to fix their offensive line, then give Jay Cutler a No. 1 receiver.
Packers (32) - With so many players returning from injured reserve to a young, ascending championship team, the Packers have the luxury of drafting for the future.
Panthers (1) - They could use a franchise quarterback after Jimmy Clausen's first year turned into a mess. That would seem to put on the pressure to take Cam Newton. But when a team wins two games, it has a lot of other needs, too, and a defensive tackle might be more important.
Buccaneers (20) - They got interior defensive linemen last year; now they need defensive ends and linebackers to solidify a young unit.
Saints (24) - They are loaded with free agents, so there will be turnover when the league year begins. They need contributors at defensive end and outside linebacker and on the offensive line.
Falcons (27) - A thriving team needs explosiveness, at wide receiver to help Matt Ryan and at pass rusher to complement John Abraham.
Cowboys (9) - Please, Jerry Jones, do something about the offensive line. And at defensive end.
Redskins (10) - With two picks in the first four rounds, the Redskins can't afford a mistake, especially because they need a quarterback again. They also have pressing needs at cornerback and on the defensive line.
Giants (19) - No need is glaring, but the offensive line - where age and injury are taking a toll - needs shoring.
Eagles (23) - With a powerhouse offense in place, the Eagles probably will focus on defense.

^^^^+1 A 170gr bullet is a little to light for my liking even for deer. I'm sure it can be and has been done but I'd be very cautious with the shot angle. I know that Win rates their 175gr ST as deer capable too, but IMHO it falls in the catagory as the above and certainly wouldn't be my first pick.

It's what I use to handgun hunt deer and also for targeting, and it does the trick.
It's also what will be used for self defense, should the need arise.
I'm not afraid of recoil, but I don't go looking for new ways to reintroduce myself to old, bad habits either (flinching).
For that reason, I love the 170 gr. Sierra semi-jacketed H.P.'s.

Hello again folks I have a quick question for you. I was reading over the real guns articles that I posted a link to in one of my earlier posts. In the article he stated that his BH had had no wiggle at full lock up so I decided to check mine. Here is my question for those of you that own Rugers are your revolvers bank vault tight at full lock up? I checked mine and the cylinder has just a ever so slightly weeee bit of movement. What are the members Rugers like here? and is this something that will cause me issues down the road?

336a, I have a SBH and I checked mine and have a wee bit of play side to side and forward and back. I too do'nt know if this is any concern. I bought mine a couple months ago new. I have had problems finding my sweet load. I have been playing with AA#9 and this gun does not like it. Bullets all fly low to the left. Bought some Honady 41 XTP's factory ammo from Cabelas, good price @ 20.99 for a box of 20, at least they would hit the target. I've just loaded some test rounds using H110 and will to to the range tomarrow and test the H110 loads.

I may not be a member yet, but a S&W Mountain Gun in .41 Mag is on my short list of handguns I want in the future.
It's right behind a .460 Rowland handgun (either XD or 1911), and ahead of a 10mm (either Witness Hunter or Fusion Longslide)

Thodge, I've recently come to learn that that wee bit of movement is nothing to be worried about. I'm surprised that AA#9 isn't doing well for you as I've heard a lot of good things about that powder. I have found that 18.5gr of 2400 with either a Sierra or Hornady bullet to be quite accurate in my .41 BH.

The only problem with the .41m is it only comes in an N frame. My carry wheelgun is a model 58 with a 3 1/2 md 57 barrel custom. The work was done by C&S. They cut and installed the 57 bbl, Mcgivern front sight, action job, cylinder locking ball on crane, Hard chrome. Just wished I could have gotten a mg bbl to put on it. Sighted in for WinST 175.
My ideal wheelgun to carry in town would be a five shot l frame size .41spl.

336a, Glad that the cyclinder wiggle is not an issue for us. Went to the range today and shoot the h110 test loads. Loaded 3 rounds each from 19.8gr-20.2gr. The 20.2gr load gave me the best group @ about 2 1/4". I have loaded more from 20.3gr-20.5gr and hope one of these will tighten the group. I am disappointed that aa#9 is not working, really wanted to use this powder and alot cleaner than h110, it does work good in my Colt 357 though. H110 does seem to give a bit more recoil than #9 does.

I have a small amount of H110 that I've been using for my .44 Marlin levergun. I haven't used it in my .41 at all as 2400 seems to do what I need doing in the .41. Once I use up the H110 I'll be switching over to 2400 for my .44 levergun loads as well. Hope you find a good load with H110.

S&W Model 58
I was firing Speer 210 grain DCHP rounds. They are very stout, but not painful like 44 Magnum. The stocks were terrible and allowed the back of the triggerguard to smack my knuckle. Herrett Stocks should tame it and improve my terrible accuracy. This gun is begging for 170 or 210 grain SWC's flying at 900 FPS...those should be fun.
The reaction of ONE man openly carrying a handgun at an Obama protest in New Hampshire showed me everything these people do is built on a house of cards.

May I join?
I only have two .41s: a S&W 57, 6" barrel I bought new in 1980, with Deacon Deeson Skeeter Skelton Bear Hug grips I got from Deacon in 1985, and a Marlin 1894S carbine in .41 Mag. I bought new in 1987. Great combo for out in the boonies.
I am a firm believer in 8.5 grains of Unique behind a 210/215 grains SWC, and 18.0 grains of 2400 behind a 210 grains JHP. From the Marlin, you should see what that load will do on a coyote at about 60 yards.
Always go straight forward. If you meet the devil, cut him in half and go between the pieces. (Wm. Sturgis, clipper ship captain.)

I have three .41 Magnums...
a Model 57 S&W vintage 1979-80 and a pair of Ruger Blackhawks, one with a 6 1.2-in bbl and the other with the 4 5/8-in bbl.
I've killed two deer with the longer Blackhawk, and once took 2nd place in the Elmer Keith long range handgun shoot near Spokane with the Smith.
I shoot a 210-grain Nosler JHP ahead of 19 grs of H110 or 17.5 grs of 2400. Great load!

Started reading through the post here for the .41 Mag Assoc. Any bullet weight the so called 44 Mag (.43 mag) will shoot accurately the .41 mag will also do. You need to step out of the old "Police Load" mentality and start thinking about this being a Large bore magnum revolver. I shoot up to 280 grainers in my Dan Wesson 8". 240 grainers in my Rugers. Other brands get 210´s or less as they are what they are.
Granted I cast my own & learned a long time ago that the experts generally repeat the the same line of dribble they read years ago that the masses think is written on stone. But the .41 mag will handle 240 grainers without any problem and are by far a better hunnting bullet than any 170 grainer will ever be.

What is your feeling on the availability of factory ammo for the 41 Magnum? We read all kinds of things about how it will be phased out. Is this a caliber that will be hand loaded only in the near future?

I have a nickel plated model 57 with an 8 3/8 inch bbl. She likes 215 gr lswc at about 1100 fps when drilling holes in paper and the 250 gr federal cast core factory loads have worked well on deer and black bear.

It's rather like a Corvette. The driver spends more time negotiating traffic and cruising the interstate than pegged out.
The "Police Load" can be duplicated...actually bested...with a 210-215 grain cast SWC and 7.5 grains of Unique. It's accurate...pleasant to shoot...it doesn't beat up the gun or the shooter, and it's not exactly a weak sister. Stepping up to 8.5 or 9.0 grains lends it a bit more authority, beating the standard .45 Colt by a good margin, and is well-suited to general purpose when the need for full power isn't anticipated.
Speak kindly to me, beloved master. Revel in my unconditional love, and give me every minute that you can spare, for my time with you is short.

I shot some "mid-range" .41 Mag loads (210's at 900ish) Saturday at the range. Lots of fun, and still plenty of power for many tasks.

Probably for most people shooting paper is all they ever do with a .41 mag so I can understand why a 210 grainer at 900 fps is more than adequete. But someone who is looking for a load to knock down 50 pound steel rams at 200 meters or punch through the shoulders of a 350 lb. piggy or go after bear, panthers (that Illinois Dept of Cons. say do not exist) and critters that just might take offense at your being there, then you will be rather happy to know the .41 is not the "little cousin" to the mighty .43 mag (oops so called 44 mag) but a full power smasher that will get the job done.
I have no dought mild loads are fun to shoot as I do that very often. But do not be deceived into thinking the .41 mag cannot make a 265+ grainer sing downrange & put a crushing wallop on any critter you should choose to hunt.

Me? I started my tenure with the .41 over 30 years ago...and I've done some things with handloads that woulda probably given me a case of the vapors if I'd known the actual pressures that I was playing with.

Just because a caliber can be loaded to two different power levels, both of which are useful for different things, doesn't mean either one is useless. Not everyone needs full power for whatever hunting they do, while some need all they can get. Some people swear by the .44 Mag at lower than max levels as well. Here in the woods many shots on game are quite close where max power isn't that big of a deal with good shot placement, and some people use less than max hand gun loads for hunting, but I still use rifles for hunting, so what do I know. I do not hunt much. It is more just quite time with nature for me, but if a deer sneaks up and taps me on the shoulder asking to be shot, well, OK. The meat is always welcomed by someone, including charity.
Maybe one day I will try it with a handgun. The shots are certainly close enough at times.

Feds Raided Another Chicago Home in Nude Celeb Hack Investigation, Still No Charges Pressed
In the summer of 2014, anonymous hackers flooded the internet with private nude photos of major (and minor) celebrities. Two years later, new details show the FBI thinks they identified Jennifer Lawrence's hacker. But no one's facing charges.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 2009—The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) today announced that Dr. Jaroslaw J. Fabis, a Food Safety and Inspection Service supervisory public health veterinarian in Brooklyn, N.Y., has returned from a five-month voluntary assignment in Iraq to help rebuild that country's agricultural sector.
"The efforts of people like Dr. Fabis are crucial for creating stable, democratic, and economically viable societies in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq," said FAS Administrator Michael Michener. "Whether their expertise is in forestry, soil and water conservation, food safety, agricultural extension and policy, or veterinary services, volunteers like Dr. Fabis are needed to contribute their specialized skills to help farmers, citizens, and national and provincial government leaders of these two countries."
Since 2003, USDA has deployed staff to Iraq for long- and short-term assignments. This year, USDA will fill 33 Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) agricultural advisor positions in Iraq. PRT advisors work on a variety of projects depending on the needs of the province. All projects are aimed at helping Iraq reconstruct the physical and institutional infrastructure of its agricultural sector.
Dr. Fabis served as a USDA PRT agricultural advisor on the Maysan PRT, which is located along the Iranian border. As the first veterinarian to serve on this PRT, he worked closely with the Maysan Veterinary Hospital to improve livestock health and productivity. He provided training to 125 veterinarians and veterinary technicians and helped revitalize the local government's animal disease detection laboratories by obtaining modern diagnostic equipment. Dr. Fabis' rapport with local sheikhs enabled him to work in towns and villages that had previously been hostile to Westerners. Born in Poland, Dr. Fabis currently lives in Willington, Conn. He received a doctorate in veterinary medicine from the University of Agriculture, School of Veterinary Medicine in Warsaw, Poland in 1982, and completed his residency in Anatomic Veterinary Pathology at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn., in 2005.
In Iraq, PRTs are led by the U.S. Department of State and are typically composed of more than 50 military and civilian personnel, the majority being from the military. The PRT agricultural advisor is just one of the civilians on the PRT; other personnel come from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development and Department of Justice.
In addition to PRTs, USDA has many activities and programs aimed at strengthening the capacity of the Iraqi government, rebuilding agricultural markets, and improving management of natural resources. This spring, 60-70 Iraqi extension specialists received advanced extension training at five U.S. land-grant universities under the Iraq Agricultural Extension Revitalization Project (IAER).
Programs such as USDA's Cochran Fellowship Program and the Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellows Program have brought more than 30 Iraqis to the United States for short-term specialized training. These public and private sector policymakers, scientists, and veterinarians have upgraded their technical skills in a wide range of topics including techniques to control animal diseases, agricultural policy planning and budget management, and research in water resources, waste-water recycling, and irrigation.
USDA has also used the Food for Progress (FFPr) Program to provide food assistance to Iraq. The FFPr program supports agricultural and economic development projects in developing countries that are emerging democracies and are introducing or expanding free enterprise in their agricultural sectors. In 2005, USDA implemented an FFPr program in Iraq through the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) with a total value of $10.8 million. The funds were used to provide educational programs to members of the newly formed Iraq Poultry Producers Association, Iraqi bankers, and Iraqi poultry producers and to establish the Iraq Poultry Fund Trust, which serves as a credit guarantee for participating banks financing the import of poultry feed ingredients. In 2008, Iraq imported U.S. poultry feed ingredients valued at $3.9 million due to the USGC's efforts to rebuild Iraq's poultry industry.
For more information about volunteering to serve on a PRT, please go to http://jobsearch.usajobs.gov/agency.aspx and select Foreign Agricultural Service. General information about USDA's programs and activities in Iraq can be found at http://www.fas.usda.gov/country/iraq/development/iraq.asp.

Palm Oil Drops After Rally to One-Year High Deemed Excessive
Palm oil fell for the first time in four days as some investors deemed a rally to the highest level in more than a year as excessive.
The June-delivery contract declined 0.2 percent to close at 3,473 ringgit ($1,134) a metric ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange. Futures reached 3,497 ringgit in intraday trading yesterday, the highest level since March 10, 2011. The commodity has rallied 9.4 percent this quarter.
"Profit-taking at higher levels pulled down palm oil prices," Shikha Mittal, an analyst at Karvy Comtrade Ltd., said by phone from the Indian city of Hyderabad. Concerns that palm oil production may decline and damages to soybean crops in South America helped limit losses, she said.
Palm oil production growth in the first half will slow from the same period in 2011 while the drought in South America will curb supplies of soybeans, boosting prices, Dorab Mistry, director at Godrej International Ltd., said yesterday. Production will increase by 2 million tons this year compared with 5.5 million tons in 2011, said Mistry, who's traded the tropical oil for more than three decades.
Soybeans can be crushed to make soybean oil, which competes with palm oil for use in food and fuel.
Soybeans for May delivery gained 0.4 percent to $13.7575 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Soybean oil for the same month advanced 0.2 percent to 55.22 cents a pound.
Palm oil for delivery in September declined 0.3 percent to close at 8,716 yuan ($1,384) a ton on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Soybean oil for delivery in the same month dropped 0.3 percent to 9,702 yuan a ton.

I am trying to create a 'confirmation code' for every user account created on my website and storing it in the db along with their personal information. As you can see in the example below, I tried to generate a random string factoring in the time variable, however, the string is unneccessarily long.
I would like the string to be shorter than the one produced by
md5 I was wondering if there is a relatively easy way to generate 10 digit (max) alphanumeric string that has an extremely low collision rate?
What I tried:
md5(mt_rand(10000,99999).time() . 'email@example.com');

We, the Bridge Family, are a sports-based youth development nonprofit serving the urban communities of North Texas. In 2004, our programming began with a small summer lacrosse camp in South Dallas. In 2008, we officially became Bridge Lacrosse after seeing incredible progress in programming, and even greater opportunities to impact youth. Since then, we have introduced lacrosse to thousands of student-athletes in both South Dallas, West Dallas and Oak Cliff, as well as other surrounding neighborhoods. We provide hours of high-quality lacrosse instruction, with the help of high school volunteers and coaches, as well as providing new experiences and opportunities for personal growth. Our greater purpose is to use this unique and nontraditional sport to help close the opportunity gap that exists in many areas of North Texas. For us, we believe that sports can be an integral part of a child's development.
We oversee five teams in South Dallas and Oak Cliff. Beginning in the fall with a 10-week introductory/development season and then moving to our 14-week competitive spring season. Student-athletes enrolled in our competitive programs are also eligible for travel and camp opportunities in the summer.
We provide lacrosse camps and clinics with the help of high school volunteers and a structured lacrosse curriculum to numerous partners and organizations around North Texas. Through our outreach programs we can introduce the sport and grow the game to a broader network of student-athletes.
Our afterschool program focuses on a developmental 8 week season for our afterschool sites. We focus on out-of-school time and development versus competition. Each site is coached my members of our Leadership Board, a program centered on preparing young leaders to serve.
I went in looking to learn the lacrosse game and left the season after falling in love with the Bridge family. The student athletes, coaches, and parents were such a joy to be around. Grateful to have had such a wonderful experience learning to love lacrosse and the family.
Byron | Coach
Before I joined Bridge, I had been known to be shy, quiet, and kept more to myself. My mom is the one who insisted I play a sport. Rangel offered lacrosse. At the time, I was a little scared and nervous. Or, as my little sister says, I was nervouscited—nervous and excited. I had never heard of this game before, I didn't know the rules, or how to play. On the first practice, I was even more nervous because I didn't see anyone I knew. But by end of the first practice, I had already made friends that I'm still close to today. Everyone was so welcoming. I instantly felt comfortable. I felt like I'd be okay.
Kristen | Student-Athlete
Qaadir never wants to miss a practice, even if it's the off-season practices. Often times, he talks about how the coaches teach different techniques, and he tries to carry his stick everywhere we go. I've even seen him trying to teach it to other young children in the community. He says he has to practice, so he can help the team win. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these characteristics will carry over into his classes at school as well as his future.

CES 2011: Day 1 - Famous People
Ben Berry
posted: 1/6/2011 11:59:00 PM
The truly big conventions are almost always a good place to meet celebrities, and day one of
was no exception. I got to be very close to 2 of my biggest passions today: Star Wars and triathlon. It's really a tough call as to who was the biggest celebrity. Sure, everyone in the universe knows who Darth Vader is, even if today he was neither portrayed by David Prowse or voice by James Earl Jones. Still it was awesome to see a detachment of Stormtroopers standing guard while Darth plays along with the announcement.
The other slightly lessor known, but WAY more impressive celebrity siting was reigning Ironman Women's World Champion Mirinda Carfrae who was accompanied by her boyfriend (and a strong professional triathlete in his own right) Tim O'Donnell. They were repping for Yurbuds, a headphone company that has recently licensed the Ironman brand. They weren't at CES, but rather at Showstoppers, which was a much smaller show. Definitely gonna be tough to top that, but I know I have competition lined up for them tomorrow night already. I won't spoil too much of the fun other than to mention the words American Pie, and Star Trek: TNG.

Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull has accused anti-stadium campaigner
Bev Butler of "descending to personality attacks" while
running a smear campaign against the next boss of the Forsyth
Barr Stadium.
Another concert has been confirmed for Forsyth Barr Stadium.
A proposal to replace the mixed grass turf inside the Forsyth
Barr Stadium with a full artificial turf - at an estimated
cost of $1 million - will be considered by a Dunedin City
Council subcommittee examining changes to the year-old venue.
Everything from crafts to curios will be for sale at
Dunedin's first Stadium Market in October.
Headline acts and headline-grabbing financial problems
have dominated the first year of operation at Dunedin's
Forsyth Barr Stadium, but the crowds are continuing to flood
in. Chris Morris reports.
Any plans for a roofed stadium in Christchurch were far from
certain and likely to be at least 10 years away, Dunedin
Mayor Dave Cull says.
The finances of the company running Dunedin's Forsyth Barr
Stadium look set to improve after cost-cutting and a cash
injection from the Dunedin City Council.
Dunedin ratepayers are on the right side of the scoreboard,
despite receiving just a fraction of what had been hoped for
from last month's North-South charity rugby clash, Mayor Dave
Cull insists.
Changes inside Forsyth Barr Stadium are expected to provide a
much-needed revenue boost, as well as giving television
viewers a new view of the ground.

The Real Reason for Obama's Cuba Breakthrough Failure of socialism in Venezuela is imperiling regime survival in Cuba. "For the past 15 years Venezuela has been shipping oil to Cuba, which in turn sends thousands of doctors and other professionals to Venezuela. The swap is lucrative for the communist-controlled island, which pays doctors a paltry few hundred dollars a month. It gets more oil than it needs, and sells the surplus. That makes Cuba perhaps the only importer that prefers high oil prices. Venezuelan support is thought to be worth 12-20% of Cuba's GDP. Recently, the arrangement has wobbled. Low prices have slashed Cubas profit from the resale of oil." [CBD]

I made a big batch of these at Christmas. Everyone Loved them! Not sure if it was because I made such a large batch but I found it just a tad too runny to make into balls so I piped it onto the wax paper and I did not have the extra step of flattening them. Very very yummy!
I made these and our entire family of 10 loves them! It was easy and quick, and well worth the effort! I plan to make them for a church lunch next month. I will certainly double it next time. The recipe as written made fifteen patties. The chocolate coating does melt quickly, so be prepared for messy fingers, if you share them with the children. They are so good you might not want to share!!

The car has performed without any problems or hitches. Petrpl consumption a slight disappointment although I drive my car a little bit sporty to get its best performance.
Auto Express's performance ratings are based on our Driver Power survey of over 30,000 car owners. Ratings are the average for all owners of this car who responded. Individual owners' ratings and comments appear below.

I have not had it back since I bought apart from a firmware upgrade to the stereo. Apart from the cost of fuel it has not really cost me any money.

No concerns, everthything works! Mpg good for the performance available, can vary though day by day even with similar driving habits.

Only had it a week but perfect. Unknown at this stage.

Teleflex Inc. was founded in 1943 with a single product - a cable contraption that allowed World War II pilots in Spitfire fighter planes to adjust their radios, even though the radio was behind the cockpit and out of arm's reach. The flexible cable was extended and retracted telescopically, from which the company name was born.
Seventy years later, Teleflex is still based in Limerick, Montgomery County, (though a headquarters move to Wayne is planned for next year) and it still makes strands that help reach into hard-to-reach places. But that's about where the similarity ends, as demonstrated in a modern, global way Thursday.
