Dell C521
Windows XP pro.
tried to reset the password by removing the battery[ also unplug all the cables I can find and plug them back ] and now the PC wont boot and the following appears on screen.
Phoenix -Award working stations Bios v 6.00 PG
copyright ( C ) 1984-2003 Phoenix Tech Ltd.
In the boot set up I have select the FACTORY defaults .. it did not help ...set the boot sequence to boot from CD [ new cd room attached at the same time as old were removed some time ago it did not boot from CD ......I have tried XP CD and Windows 7 CD,,,
Your suggestions would be highly appreciated
I'll never understand why so many people think resetting the BIOS is a magic cure-all. Who password protected the BIOS in the 1st place? And what exactly were you trying to fix by clearing it?
I was trying to get rid of Admin password ......simply because i was not able to access the PC , and after some search that solution sounds about right ...and now problem got worst .....
Did you replace the battery. When you selected FACTORY defaults did you actually save them. Usually accomplished by pressing F10.
For future reference, most PCs have a reset CMOS jumper on the motherboard. That will achieve the same objective and is should never be necessary to remove the battery,
Yes I have replaced the battery set the time and also set and save to Factory Defaults ......latter I have checked the time which was right ... which means it is saving the changes I have made .............but the problem remains
since your in the bios, can you tell if the HD is being detected.
The last option under the System is HDD Boot Sequence and when I go there it states "This list specifies the order that the BIOS searches hard drives in the system
2. Bootable Add-in Cards
One more thing, when I turn on the PC, Dell logo appears also written www.dell.com , Dimension C521 BIOS VERSION 1.0.3 AND on on the top left corner
F12=Boot Menu
but nothing happens if I press F12 and it goes to screen where it states
Phoenix -Award working stations Bios v 6.00 PG
copyright ( C ) 1984-2003 Phoenix Tech Ltd.
and it stays there forever
I have enter the BIOS setting by pressing F1 (help)
Check all your cables, particularly the hard disk ones. It sounds like you dislodged something else when you took the battery out.
If you read the manual for your computer you will find that there are two jumpers, one for clearing the password and one for clearing the BIOS, so it was not necessary to remove the battery. There also should be fields in the setup screen telling you what devices have been detected; the hard disk should show there.
I'd suggest that you read the manual before working on the computer further.
You do need to unplug the computer when resetting those jumpers.
After removing the power cable I have already, not only checked all the cable but also remove all the internal cables one buy one and put them back
The BIOS is detecting all the hard ware like Hard Drive , ram in three different slots [ 256 mb, 256 mb 1 GB ] . show the PCI empty slots which are empty and the one with a card ...which has the card..
If you cleared the BIOS and are using the default settings then the issue may be the way the hard drive and CD drive are configured.
There may be as many as three different ways to configure those drives. IDE compatibility mode, SATA, AHCI. See which one is now set and then try one of the others. If it still won't boot then try a different setting.
You also need to set the boot order and IF you have more than one hard drive there should be a setting on a later screen to choose WHICH hard drive to boot to.
"I was trying to get rid of Admin password"
The Admin password & BIOS password are 2 completely different things. The Admin password is for Windows, the BIOS password is for the motherboard/hardware configuration. You still haven't explained why you were trying to reset the password or what you were hoping to fix? Regardless, it seems you either have the BIOS settings mucked up or you didn't plug something back in correctly.
"new cd room attached"
IDE drive? Did you configure the master/slave jumpers correctly? If not, that would prevent a system from booting. Maybe you should look at the manual.

Hi Guys
The current issue is to " put that PC back on his feet "
riider ...I was trying to remove the admin password to access the OS .
This PC was without cd/dvd drive so I put one [which was taken from another working PC] and tried to load the OS from boot-able CD , but it did not help and at present there is no CD/DVD drive in PC
There is only one hard drive in this PC [although there is option to put one more , hard drive but SATA only ]
OtheHill ....there is no option apart from SATA in the BIOS and there are no other type of cables inside the PC as well, where you can put/add IDE or AHCI drive
Now new thing happened to the PC is after removing the cables from Hard drive putting back, the hard drive is not detected by the BIOS [ rest , ram etc is detected ]and the clicking sound comes every 3 second from hard drive when I turn on the PC but that sound disappears when I entered the BIOS ......Hard drive is gone ???
... I have another PC { Dell Dimension 9200 }running windows 7 Pro which has two SATA drives in it [ Max Capacity is two ] .....should I test the hard drive by moving around the hard drive between two PCs?
the clicking sound from hard drive only comes for 2/3 times when the PC is turned on
As per # 12 above:
Not sure if you have any of those options but if you do they may be located under the Security tab in the BIOS (setup) screens.
You may have dislodged something inside the case, as was suggested.
"I was trying to remove the admin password to access the OS"
As I said, the Admin password & BIOS password are completely different things. The BIOS/CMOS battery never should have been touched. I can only guess that you have the BIOS settings all screwed up. If you can get it straightened out & are able to boot again, do NOT reinstall Windows, just remove the Admin password. Since you apparently don't know how, try this:
riider .. could you suggest how to "straightened" the BIOS as that is THE problem at present......admin password might be the issue one i successfully booted the system
About dislodging anything in the PC ...I have check every thing ( not many thing to check , anyways ]
One thing I would like to mention here that when I remove one of the RAM from slot 3 and place in slot 4 ...BIOS is detecting that change of slot
Why are you removing ANY hardware at all? You had a simple password problem & turned it into a nightmare. I can't tell you how to configure the BIOS because I can't see your BIOS menu, but the Dell BIOS is usually pretty barebones/simplistic.
2. Bootable Add-in Cards
Do you have a bootable add in card like a SATA controller card?
Hi Othehill and all others
The following are the main headings with some related subheadings in the BIOS
- system info
- Processor Info
- PCI Info
- Date/Time
- Boot Sequence
1. Onboard CD-ROM drive
2. Onboard Floppy Drive ( not present )
3. Bootable Hard Drive ( not Present )
4. Integrated NIC ( not present )
5. USB-FDD ( not present )
6. USB-ZIP ( not present )
7. USB-CDROM ( not present )
8. USB Device ( not present )
- HDD Boot Sequence
1. Bootable Add-in Cards
Diskette Drive
Drive 0: SATA-0 --- its on but nothing is detecded here
Drive 1: SATA-1 --- its on & optiarc DVD+/-RW AD-5170S is detected
SMART Reporting --- its OFF as its factory default
+Onboard Devices
+Power Management
"Bootable Add-in Cards " is the only option when you highlight/enter HDD boot sequence
i hop all the above info would be helpful to find/fix the problem
and sorry for reply late as was very busy over the weekend
thanks and looking forward for suugestions
Either your hard drive has failed or you don't have the cables connected correctly.
Do you have both the data and the power cables attached to that hard drive.
Does the hard drive light on the front of the case light up when you start the computer?
Try connecting a different power connector to the hard drive. Can you feel the hard drive running when you touch it?
Hi OtheHill
The hard drive light lit for a second only ...and yes when I touch the hard drive its running ......
I have tried the different data and power cable ...same results
Although I feel the Hard drive running and its light comes for a second , I think you are right that the hard drive is gone , the reason is ...the diagnostic lights 2 3 are solid green and according to PC manual "A possible floppy drive or hard drive failure"
why its not booting from CD .... or HD must be in good state to install new copy of window ................ what are the possible solution
Another possibility is that the SATA controller for the hard drive is disabled in the BIOS.
Check the data cable to the hard drive by trying another one, if you have one.

Talofa blog readers! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I am certainly enjoying mine. So far I've spent the weekend at a Veteran's Day ceremony, a football game, the grocery store, McDonald's (for coffee!), Rosie's (for the ever-so-delicious grilled wahoo sandwich), the gas station (ice cream...), Utulei Beach, Sliding Rock, and my house. It's been a pretty eventful weekend and it's not even Sunday yet!
I thought I would share some songs that always seem to get stuck in my head. Some are songs that are always played on the buses. Others are songs that my students like to play on their cell phones nonstop which means that I can't stop humming them all day...enjoy!
The first time I heard this song, I thought it was terrible. Now I love it and the Samoans do too!
This is a bus song. It's a bit calmer and perfect for a ride in the rain.
This is probably one of my favorite Samoan songs only because the boys LOVE to sing along. It's just about the cutest thing ever. I recently became BFF's with a freshman and he rapped this for me the other day. Aaaadoooraaableee.
Another classic Samoan tune that I could listen to on repeat. Perfect island song.
And speaking of good music, I hope you all have given the new Coldplay album a listen. It's absolutely fantastic in every way possible. Whenever I play it in my classroom, I always get "Can you change the song, Miss?" "Ooo Miss, change." Sigh.
And speaking of one more thing, I would say that I get called Miss at least, AT LEAST anywhere from 30-50 times per class period. PER CLASS PERIOD. "Miss, Miss, MISS!" The worst is when I'm clearly helping or talking to a student and "misses" pop up from all around the room. Now I just say it and repeat it right back just as many times to whoever said it. One of my classes has caught onto my little game and now they say it 10x more. Sigh, laugh, and sigh again. Only in AmSam.

Windows Phone and Trams/
Windows Phone and trams go together very well. Last week, whilst on unfamiliar territory in the Netherlands, I needed to find the way to Escher museum. Windows Phone gave me all the details very quickly and I can even pin my route to the Start menu so that it is easy to refer to. Very useful.
And of course with the map already downloaded before we set off, I was able to navigate quite happily in spite of having no network connection for the phone.

This is an idea shamelessly cribbed from Rick Burin. Like him, I write reviews for every film I watch on my Letterboxd profile. If you're fortunate, these witterings may garner 'up-votes' from other members of the Letterboxd community. Some LB'ers Get their reviews up-voted into the stratosphere, with hundreds of like. Don't expect that from my reviews; I'm lucky to reach the 20 mark as you'll see. Based on the number of votes, these therefore are the 12 best reviews I have written. Allegedly - because there are some I'm proud of, and there are some I'm not. But you can't argue with the public now can you? Two things have struck me from compiling this, one is that it's clear that the reviews I write of Recent releases (ie films released in the last few years) in the main garner more up votes than the obscurities and/or classics that I generally watch, whilst the other is that it is the films I rate highly that tend to Get the votes over the ones I give an utter drubbing too.

Engagement Session: Paxton & Austin
Paxton and Austin were an amazing couple to work with! Austin first hired me to photograph his top-secret proposal and then went on to hire to me photograph their engagement session, bridal session and wedding. I'll talk more about Paxton's bridals in an upcoming blog, but just want to write about their engagement session now.
Engagement sessions are a lot of fun and are a great way for the photographer and client to get to know each other and how each other thinks before the wedding day. For Paxton and Austin's shoot, they had one request. It was a large, cool-looking tree and I think we nailed it!

Charge: Sound Transit security officer shot 'up skirt' videos of transit riders
A Sound Transit security guard accused of taking "up skirt" videos of transit riders while on the clock has been charged with voyeurism.
King County prosecutors contend Timothy Funkhouser admitted to taking the videos while working out of the Sea-Tac Airport light rail station.
Funkhouser, 35, was reported in March after showing another Securitas security guard a video he'd taken of a customer, a King County detective told the court.
According to charging papers, Funkhouser showed his coworker a six-minute video consisting only of "a continuous crotch shot" of a young woman or girl seated on a Sound Transit train. Funkhouser is alleged to have told his coworker he took the video surreptitiously with his iPhone.
Later that day, the other guard watched as Funkhouser followed a young woman onto an escalator. The guard told police Funkhouser placed his cell phone on the escalator step underneath the woman to film up her skirt.
Funkhouser was suspended the following day.
Writing the court, the detective noted Funkhouser told a Securitas human resources worker he took the videos but planned to lie about it, and that he would never trust his coworkers again. Funkhouser is alleged to have then explained to the human resources worker how he took the offending photos.
Police subsequently searched Funkhouser's Federal Way home, where they seized computers, cell phones and cameras. Investigators found several voyeuristic photos on Funkhouser's home computer and cell phone; it wasn't immediately clear to police whether Funkhouser took those videos himself or found them online.
Funkhouser is alleged to have admitted taking videos on two or three other occasions. Asked why he tried to record the woman on the escalator, Funkhouser allegedly explained he "had to try."
Charged with one count of voyeurism, Funkhouser has not been jailed. He has no criminal history.

They may share a birthday, but don't tell Hakeem Jeffries he's anything like Barack Obama. "Other than the fact that we were both born on August 4, it's not clear to me that there's much of a professional resemblance," he says.
Nonetheless, the The Washington Post seems to think so. The burgeoning Brooklyn assemblyman has his eyes set on the U.S. Capitol, and if expert observers are any indication, he will be his district's next Congressman.
With Ed Towns (D) retiring, and a black nationalist city councilman as his opponent, the prospects for Jeffries' congressional bid seem promising. This is especially true in the wake of the recent incorporation of white, conservative Brooklyn neighborhoods into his district.
The moderate Democrat has already received the backing of beloved former New York City Mayor Ed Koch. And like Obama, Jeffries is a lawyer, one who has developed plenty of powerful connections after his work at Manhattan firm Paul Weiss.
In Jeffries' profile for The Washington Post, his mentor Theodore Wells gushes with praise. "[Jeffries] works easily within both the black and white communities. I think Hakeem represents a natural evolution in the background of African American politicians. The prior generation of African American politicians had their roots in the civil rights movements of the 1960s, but Hakeem's generation grew up in a more multicultural America, and in that sense their backgrounds and perspectives are different."
Similar to Obama, Jefferies has received jabs from critics who accuse him of lacking experience.
Still, Jeffries has posted some impressive accomplishments during his tenure as an assemblyman. He aided in the passage of a law that prohibits law enforcement from collecting data on subjects of "stop and frisk" who are not arrested. In addition, he's pressed for more affordable housing and reform of marijuana laws.
Is Jeffries for real? With a June 26 primary looming, we'll find out soon enough.

Many companies measure customer data continuously, have real-time metrics reporting for some of their most critical operational issues, and monitor their key financials with something bordering on obsession. Furthermore, they know exactly why they need these data and what to do with them. But what about critical employee attitudes?
Based on CEB research, more than 90% of organizations conduct an engagement survey regularly, and most are planning to maintain or increase their investments in these initiatives over the next year. Yet business leaders are often frustrated with the lack of return from the employee survey and how they drive business outcomes. They are frustrated with the resources that the surveys require but simultaneously wish that they had fresher data about employee attitudes.
Creating a comprehensive employee attitude data collection strategy solves both of these issues: it ensures an effective survey and provides leaders with more timely data to guide decisions and shape or evaluate strategy.

We've received a lot of questions about the JP5 tablet. So get ready for some JP5 "101."
"So in prison you can send email? Listen to music? Download games?
With the JP5 Tablet, yes you can!
The next-generation tablet for corrections has brought all of these activities to inmates across the country. With an Android-based operating system and a game store with tons of cool apps, the JP5 tablet aims to provide a constructive way to spend time. From sending emails and video messages, to downloading games and new album releases, to watching educational videos, the JP5 gives inmates access to technologies that help them be productive with their time and stay connected with loved ones.
"But what is the overall vision in bringing the JP5 tablet to corrections?"
The ultimate aim of the JP5 tablet program is to provide a modern resource to help the incarcerated community stay connected and build needed relationships to assist reentry into society. Additionally, education is key to reducing recidivism and by providing free educational resources, we hope to help build a foundation that will lead to a successful life after prison.
"Wait, you can earn your college credits from the JP5 tablet too?"
JPay is committed to making digital education a reality for any facility, helping to reform corrections and prepare offenders for success upon release. Courses and assignments can be downloaded to the JP5 tablet and completed outside of the limited classroom interactions. JPay also makes free KA Lite educational videos available, and depending on the facility, students can earn college credits and certifications through JPay's Lantern, our tablet-based educational platform with an extensive Learning Management System and content from reputable providers.
"How is JPay able to bring this kind of technology to such a challenging environment?"
Over the past decade, JPay has worked to build a high-security platform that allows us to deploy today's technologies inside prisons, and ensure that families can remain in-contact with their incarcerated loved ones. From the field technicians and account managers that are constantly working with and within each facility, to our support ticketing team responding to every request, we are here to bridge the technological gap.
"So how can my loved one get a JP5 tablet?"
Availability varies by state, but we are constantly working to bring the JP5 series to every state and facility.

Autumn has always been my favorite season. Growing up in New England made it pretty easy to fall in love with fall. This season is off to a slow start in Colorado and although I shouldn't be complaining about the sunshine and warmth, I am looking forward to 40 degree days instead of 60.
My job also has a fairly strange schedule and it's not so often that Kelly and I get to have a low key Sunday dinner together. Yesterday was one of those days. With just enough chill in the air (not really…) I decided to make Roasted Red Pepper + Pear Soup. My small victory for this soup was that I made my first homemade stock the night before! I've been making my mom's chicken soup for years, but I've never made my own stock. I used leftover roasted chicken bones (from the fennel, rosemary + lemon recipe) and a bunch of trimmings from carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. I've started to keep all my vegetable trimmings in a bag in the freezer now for this purpose.
One of my favorite parts of this soup was roasting the peppers until they burned. I have a feeling I will make them again and maybe try my hand at a spin-off replication of my favorite jarred peppers by Rao's. The color of the soup was a beautiful autumn orange. I am excited to try the butternut squash and curried carrot spin-offs!
Kelly was our bartender for the evening and mixed up a few Whiskey + Maple Syrup Sours. She seemed to especially love whisking the ingredients together and was quick to tell her family that this would be the new Christmas cocktail.

Five Words To Conquer "The Toughest Race on Earth"
There are five words that have pushed Mark Wise through more than most people will experience in their lives.
From the battlefields of Afghanistan where he was injured, to the frozen landscapes of the South Pole, to the Sahara Desert where he recently finished running 155 miles over five days.
One. Step. At. A. Time.
While it has become a guiding life philosophy for the Army veteran now, it was once literally all he could muster.
In 2009, Wise – six months into his deployment – was engulfed in a firefight in Afghanistan when the soldier a meter away from him stepped on an IED.
The blast blew Wise's body armor off.
The left side of his body from head to knees suffered massive tissue loss. He had several fingers on his left hand amputated. His forearms and knees both needed to be reconstructed.
Safe to say you could sum it all up with the phrase: major structural damage.
One. Step. At. A. Time.
Before his deployment, Wise had become more and more interested in weightlifting and running, the latter being the object of his athletic affection. He devoured books about ultramarathon running as he started building his distance.
Then Uncle Sam called. After his accident, the doctors at Walter Reed told him he'd never run again. The thought of that sent him spiraling downward.
But a doctor reached out and invited him on a 50-mile bike ride.
"It was on the six month anniversary of my injury, and it was very challenging," Wise said. "But what it really was, was a reintroduction into being athletic. That was something that was missing from my life, and it was quite depressing to go from being an athletic and sports-oriented person to feeling like you couldn't do that anymore."
One. Step. At. A. Time.
The ride set him on the path to healing physically and emotionally through outdoor athletics. Wise joined up with No Barriers for 2013's Walking with the Wounded South Pole expedition with Prince Harry. The race took Wise and team more than 200 miles over 16 days to the South Pole.
Wise said it was a big leap for him and he saw it as an opportunity to advocate and demonstrate how veterans could recover and reintegrate.
All the while, Wise kept running.
"With some of the amputations on my hand, my weight lifting has been adjusted, but you can always put some shoes on and run," he said. "Getting back to it was such a challenge."
While he'd done a few marathons, he wanted more. He remembered his doctors' words: You won't run again.
"I took that as a personal challenge and I went through a lot of painful days to make sure that was something I was capable of," he said. "There's not a pain-free day going out and running."
One. Step. At. A. Time.
He set his sights on the Marathon des Sables, a five-day, 155-mile ultramarathon through the Sahara Desert billed as the "Toughest Race on Earth."
"You just have to have a bold, ambitious goal and don't let any physical or mental limitation obstruct your accomplishment of your goal," he said.
Wise finished the race on April 10, finishing around 800th of about 917 runners. More than 100 did not finish.
Toward the end of the race Wise said the miles and miles of sand began to wear on his knees. At that moment he thought about Ranger School — it's just getting from Point A to B, he thought.
The one thing he said he learned through it all? Patience.
"It's a long, long road," he said. "Push for it and then don't accept anything in your way. It is ultimately achieved through many, many, many small individual steps."

Doesn't look too bad. The owner called me because he noticed a little leaking. The shower head is on the upper left side.
The right lower wall was soaked every time someone took a shower.
No waterproofing on this wall.
About all that's left here is the cement board on the tub
The shower floor did have a membrane. However water ran down
the wall and behind this membrane into the subfloor. Yes - I did fall through this.

Just Added to My Closet
When it comes to shoes, wedges are definitely my favorite right now. They are very functional and can easily be transformed from day to night. Also, the added height they give you is a nice bonus. I always have my eye open for a stylish pair of wedges. When one of my friends wore the J Crew Marguerite Wedges, I knew I wanted to add them to my collection. They have the most adorable criss cross straps that look great with dresses. I ended up purchasing them in Black Suede, since I wanted a pair of black wedges. Right now, they are actually on sale for $79.99 (originally $165)... great deal! I cannot wait to wear them soon!

On the 2nd of October 2017 a Congress organized by Vagit Alekperov -president of LUKoil and founder of "Our Future Foundation"- and dedicated to social innovation and social business took place in Moscow. Indeed, the objective of Our Future Foundation is to implement socially relevant programs and projects on the principles of social entrepreneurship. The mission of the Foundation financed by Mr. Alekperov is "to act as a catalyst of positive social change in Russian society by assisting to developing of social entrepreneurship."
Several experts in the fields of social innovation and social business were invited as speakers, among them our Director Enrico Testi.
Enrico introduced the social business and illustrated how to create an enabling ecosystem for social enterprises.
He explained to the press the importance of sharing successful examples of social enterprises that have solved in Italy some of the social problems that Russia has been fighting for years, such as the integration of disadvantaged workers. Giardineria Italiana and the ethical hotel in Asti are considered two successful models which Russia can look up to.
Many other social business models, especially those the field of new technologies, were shared to inspire change and innovation.

Oh look – it's FRIDAY!
First up, here is what was on the blog this week:
Weekend Recap (Because it is that time of year.) If you didn't read the weekend recap then you need to right now. Basically two people read it. I was like – what? I thought people loved these kind of posts (especially when I write like this!)
These Pages I so wanted to add this to Heather's link up but computer issues. Speaking of which we have a new router to handle all the internet we have (that sounds stupid) and the thing has been very temperamental. If I spend over $20 on you – you better not be flaky!
Walmart Pick Up Grocery Here's $10 to use on groceries from me to you. (And you reciprocate when you use my code back to me.) I share with you why you should be using this service, especially during the holiday season, and how to use Savings Catcher with this service as well.
Hello November I'll spare the OMG IT'S NOVEMBER stuff. November 1 was the birthday for the blog and also begins an important month for myself. The Currently Link Up is also nestled inside this post.
Yogur Keep looking for the "t" guys! It's not about dairy, it's about sanity!
This week was a bit of a headache work-wise but as they do things worked out. I enjoyed a strange Halloween morning with my husband. We had a very important appointment to go to and the kids weren't with us. Even though it was stressful we had a nice time for an hour after the appointment just walking about old Winston-Salem for a while. I realize I didn't photo it I Snapped it…ugh must quit.
I have contemplated ditching Snap Chat but I cannot just do it.
Did you guys see the Astro player that proposed to his girlfriend after winning the series?
And now we're at the weekend. On the agenda:
- Work outs
- Pet grooming
- Laundry
- Random movies (probably Hallmark)
- Celebrating my mom's birthday
The clocks get set back so I'm not happy. It's the birthday gift I hate to receive. Oh yeah it's my birthday weekend. And crickets (per the usual.)
I hope you all have an amazing weekend and relax, rejuvenate, and refresh.

Grapes are field crops unlocked at experience level 84.
They are used to make banana bread, fruit cakes, goat cheese toasts, grape jam, grape juice and plum smoothies.
Like all crops they are stored in the silo.
Growing up grapes
Grapes grow in fields by planting another grape (either previously harvested or purchased). Each plot yields 2 plants (net gain of 1 plant) and 6 experience points, and takes 3 hours to mature.
Selling grapes
- Grapes can be bought or sold for a maximum price of 324 coin for 10 bunches.
- Buying a field only costs 1 coin but the number of fields players can have is determined by their level.
Using grapes
Grapes are used to make the following products:
|Level 84
|Level 85
|Level 89
|Level 91
|Level 92
|Level 102
Boat orders
Boat orders ask for 12 to 13 bunches of grapes per crate, up to a total of 52 per boat.
Strategy tips
- Grapes are rare enough that selling them at maximum price is recommended.
- Recipes ask for 2 to 3 bunches of grapes so you need to have several extra bushes to cover your needs. Extras can also be useful if you have boats with grape crates although you have time to harvest some.

What is a "safe" Tylenol dose? A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
Last week I got the news that my 17 year old niece's liver is "shot." Tests are pending to determine how this diagnosis will effect the potential of a bright, intelligent, beautiful young woman who, until last week, believed that the greatest challenge before her was financing her college education. According to her doctor, the liver damage is the result of "unintentional overdosing" on Tylenol + allergy medications.
Most of us have heard at least a few of these stories about people who inadvertently took "too much" Tylenol — stories about people who unknowingly and unintentionally overdosed by taking Tylenol + other medications that contain acetaminophen: stories about perfectly healthy people who, out of the blue, developed acute liver failure and died.
There are some who would like us to believe that liver damage from acetaminophen is entirely self-inflicted — the result of suicide attempts, or a by-product of alcoholism or pain-killer addiction. While these may account for a large number of the cases, research has also been revealing, for years now, that a surprising number of cases involve people who were taking the recommended dose — or less — or who unknowingly took several medications containing acetaminophen. And it doesn't take years or even weeks to deliver a fatal dose to your liver. It takes only a few days. Just a few days of accidentally doing the wrong thing.
According to a July 2009 LA Times piece, acetaminophen overdose is the #1 cause of acute liver failure in the United States. And, unlike other forms of liver failure that take years to develop, such as with alcoholism and disease, acute liver failure from acetaminophen overdose can develop in just 48 hours. In California, alone, of the nearly 8,000 cases of actual acetaminophen overdose in 2008, 4,368 were unintentional.
This has grown to be such a problem that other countries, such as the UK (whose evil socialist government "runs" health care and therefore — unlike the U.S. — has a financial stake in the health and well-being of its citizens) have made changes to the dosage, packaging and marketing of acetaminophen in an effort to put the brakes on what had become an epidemic of acute liver failure due to acetaminophen overdose. These efforts have cut back dramatically on the incidence of acute liver failure from unintentional acetaminophen overdoses.
The U.S. tried something similar last year. The title to the June 2009 ABC news report pretty well summed up the impetus: FDA Panel Urges Cuts in Acetaminophen Dosage: Concerns Over Unintentional Overdose Hazards May Change How Drug Is Marketed
Here, history seems to be repeating itself. In 1977, an FDA advisory panel issued an urgent recommendation that Tylenol labels be required to carry this warning: "Do not exceed recommended dosage because severe liver damage may occur." The emerging science concurred, as seen in this 1979 news article:
It took nearly 30 years of ignoring the science and millions in wrongful death lawsuits against Tylenol, but the FDA finally heeded the panel's urgent recommendation. As of 2006, Tylenol labels began warning that taking more than 8 Extra Strength Tylenol tablets can cause severe liver damage. Last year's urgent recommendations to the FDA have been similarly left to collect dust. For the record, the panel's four recommendations were as follows:
- Lowering the maximum total daily dose of nonprescription acetaminophen for adults, which is currently set at 4,000 mg. per day [which makes sense, considering that, according to the warnings info on the Tylenol website, 4,000 mg. per day is safe, but anything over this may cause "severe liver damage," which seems an awfully tight rope to walk, considering that one pill per day too much can mean the difference between a "safe" dose and severe liver damage].
- Reducing the maximum single dose of non-prescription acetaminophen for adults to 650 mg from the current maximum of 1,000 mg [which also makes sense, considering that one could dutifully follow the label directions on Extra Strength Tylenol to take "two caplets every 4 to 6 hours" — perhaps overlooking or downplaying the importance of the warning to not exceed 8 caplets in 24 hours — only to unintentionally overdose (6 doses x 1000 mg. = 6,000 mg per day) to the tune of 2,000 mg. over the safe limit per day].
- Making this 1,000 mg. adult single dose by prescription only [Reminder for those terrified of big government intrusion into your lives: this regulation wouldn't prohibit determined people from doubling up and taking as many over-the-counter mgs. as they please; it would only make the dispensing of this higher risk dosage less haphazard than it currently is.]
- Eliminating acetaminophen from combination prescription products." [Another reminder for folk terrified of big government take-overs: this regulation would not take away your Vicodin and Percocet. It would only remove acetaminophen from these products, to help avoid the potential for overdosing on acetaminophen. There would be nothing preventing you from taking over-the-counter acetaminophen with your Vicodin and Percocet].
In response to these recommendations, the makers of Tylenol — McNeil Consumer Healthcare – released a statement:
"While we share the FDA's mutual goal of preventing and decreasing the misuse and overdose of acetaminophen, we have concerns that some of the FDA recommendations could discourage appropriate use and are not necessary to addressing the root causes of acetaminophen overdose."
At first read, it's difficult to pin down exactly what the folks at Tylenol hoped to convey in this statement.
Is their goal to spare others the fate of, say, my 17-year old niece? If so, then it would have behooved them to extrapolate a bit on the terms, "appropriate use" and "root causes of acetaminophen overdose." Otherwise they run the risk of appearing to be more concerned about their profit margin than the margin of safety for those who use Tylenol.
But since they didn't extrapolate — and since the advice of the FDA panel has yet to be followed — I'll seize the mantle. Allow me to extrapolate because, according to the FDA, "about half of the deaths associated with taking painkillers containing acetaminophen are due to unintended overdoses." Allow me to extrapolate, so that I may enlighten the average American consumer to what I wish my sister-in-law had known 17 years ago — back when the makers of Tylenol were still arguing with science and stonewalling efforts to post warnings on their labels — back when my sister-in-law first started medicating my niece with Tylenol in conjunction with various allergy and cold medications, many of which also contained acetaminophen. Allow me to extrapolate.
By my math, if a parent dutifully follows these instructions, then — over the period of 24 hours — they will have dispensed 7 doses of Tylenol to their child, which is, if you bother to read the accompanying warning on the package, two doses too many — precisely enough to cause, according to the package, "severe liver damage."
One could hardly blame parents — preoccupied with the needs of their sick child — for not doing the math, for failing to notice that the dosing instructions are utterly contradicted by this warning: "Severe liver damage may occur if your child takes more than 5 doses in 24 hours."
The packaging for Regular Strength Tylenol for adults contains a similar mathematical sleight of hand, as adults are advised to take "2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours" (which could equate to 14 tablets per day), even as their warning utterly contradicts this advice: "Severe liver damage may occur if adult takes more than 12 tablets in 24 hours."
If the folk at Tylenol were genuinely interested in "addressing the root causes of acetaminophen overdose," they might have opted to be more clear in the instructions on their Children and Adult Tylenol packages by simply directing: "Take every 6 hours."
The problem is — and we all know this — Tylenol tends to wear off in 4 hours. To someone in pain, or to a parent with a feverish child, the implicit permission to dose every 4 hours is not only a blessing, it's a necessity. Six hours is just too long. The folks who peddle acetaminophen know this. We all know this. How to market a product with this built-in flaw — where the de facto effective dose is also enough to potentially cause acute liver failure?
The answer seems to be this: Give 2 sets of contradictory instructions, then put the onus of noticing the discrepancy onto the consumer. Riddle consumers with a mystery wrapped inside an enigma, then tell them, "We've told you, in so many words, what to do. If you screw up and heed the wrong set of instructions, don't say we didn't warn you."
To this end, the folk at Tylenol waged an ad campaign telling their customers, "If you're not going to take Tylenol properly, we'd rather you didn't take it at all."
A math-savvy consumer could counter this with, "If you're not going to tell your customers how to properly take Tylenol, we'd rather you didn't sell the stuff."
NOTE: For practical advice on avoiding accidental acetaminophen overdose, Medicine.net has some sound guidelines to follow, including the advice to not exceed the recommended maximum dose per day, which seems the safest bet, given the ambiguities of the label directions on every single acetaminophen package I've consulted.
Because, earth to acetaminophen peddlers, no matter how carefully you follow the letter of the law — carefully protecting yourself from liability by printing mathematical enigmas on your packaging, which are supposed to suffice as warnings — the fact is that most people think of Tylenol as an entirely safe drug, never suspecting that, given the perfect storm of circumstances, the threshold between a "safe" dose and a potentially liver-damaging dose may be as little as one pill per day over the course of a few days.
Equally disconcerting are the factors that go into making this perfect storm — such as being sick with the flu and not eating or drinking normally for a few days. This, in itself, is enough to tip the "safe" dose into the liver-damaging category, which Tylenol sort of, kind of hints at on their site in so many words.
HOW MANY DAYS IS IT "SAFE" TO TAKE TYLENOL? (The translation)
According to the warnings on the Tylenol site for the Children's Tylenol:
- Pain gets worse or lasts more than 5 days.
- Fever gets worse or lasts more than 3 days.
- It is not safe for a child to take Tylenol for longer than 5 days, (10 days for an adult) unless directed by a doctor.
- A sick child (or adult or anorexic), who may not be eating or drinking normally, should not take Tylenol for more than 3 days.
The latter point was more authoritatively stated by Dr. Robert Squires, clinical director of the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University Pittsburgh School of Medicine. As written in the above-mentioned ABC news article from last June:
"While four grams per day for a day is safe, [NOTE: 4 grams = the 12-tablet maximum dosage on the adult Tylenol package] there may be circumstances that would make this dose problematic," he said. These circumstances, he said, could include cases in which acetaminophen pills are taken with other acetaminophen medication, taken with alcohol, or taken in association with the prolonged fasting one might experience when they are sick.
It would surely come as a surprise to many Tylenol users to know that — should they be off their feed for a few days while sick with, say, the flu while simultaneously taking Tylenol according to label instructions — they might be "unintentionally overdosing" on acetaminophen. All the worse if they are also taking other medications for cold, cough or sinus symptoms that contain acetaminophen. Too, you'd hardly think that just a few days of taking the recommended dose of Tylenol could have such dire effects.
Or, in the case of my niece, that you could be engaged in everyday teenage pursuits — learning to drive, going to the beach with friends, planning college, arguing with your mother, sneaking text-messages in class, over-obsessing about your imperfections — only to be told, seemingly out of the blue, that your liver is "shot."

It is not just medically untrained users of acetaminophen/(called paracetemol in Australia) who cause overdoses.
Several years ago in Westmead Children's Hospital Sydney NSW Australia a young boy died of acute liver failure after medical staff gave him excessive doses of paracetemol over several days. In this case the dosage was aggravated by the fact that the patient was also obese.
It has puzzle me that paracetemol seems to be so strongly preferred over aspirin by medical professionals because of fear that aspirin might cause gastrointestinal bleeding> It seems to me that a bit of blood in the stomach should be preferable to acute liver damage followed by coma and death.
The fact is that tylenol was never designed to be taken around the clock. The medically toxic dose of acetominophen is 150 mg/kg–in an average 70kg adult that works out to 10.5 gms IN A SINGLE INGESTION…that is 20 extra strength tabs (500mg) at once. Manufacture recommends 2 tabs every 4-6 hours. Even given round the clock for 24 hours thats still only 12 tabs. So in a normal healthy adult these doses do NOT cause liver damage. 50% of overdoses are intentional which won't be prevented regardless of labeling. The other 50% are "accidental". Hows that? Simply consumers do not read the label….they take 3 or 4 tabs at a time or 4 tabs every 2 hours or mix with alcohol or mix with other drugs containing acetominophen–because they don't read the label nor care either. Its a DRUG like any other and user beware–if you don't know what your putting into your body or don't care enough to read the label then you put your life at risk. Alcoholics are at risk for almost every medication they take because their liver function has been destroyed by their habit….tylenol is just one of many things that can cause their damanged liver to fail. Change the labeling all you want—patients do not read them now and won't later either. Every day I see patients in my practice who tell me "I don't know" when I ask them what medications they are taking. Same answer when I ask the dosage they are on. Are you serious–popping pills into your body without knowing the names or doses….we have a saying in medicine: you can't fix stupid. NO drug is safe if you don't use it right or know how to take it. Sure mix ups occur but acetominophen is one of the safest drugs given to man…it is just man being stupid or not caring to read or not caring about being alcoholic that causes the problem.
You should check your math – just as an example, you say:
"The packaging for Regular Strength Tylenol for adults contains a similar mathematical sleight of hand, as adults are advised to take "2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours" (which could equate to 14 tablets per day), even as their warning utterly contradicts this advice: "Severe liver damage may occur if adult takes more than 12 tablets in 24 hours.""
But this is not true- to cite an easy example, imagining that the sick individual wakes up at 7am and starts their dosage at 8am, taking Tylenol every 4 hours, then they will take 6 doses in one 24-hour period:
Even if you considered starting their day at 8am, the next dosage after 4am, at 8am, would be 24 hours later than the first dosage at 8am, and would not be included in the 24-hour period.
Your poor neice. It is sad people aren't informed as to the very real danger of this OTC medication. Tylonol markets itself as a safe medication but it isn't. Thank you for educating the public on this deadly medication. If you have saved one life it's worth it.
I do not take Tylonol. It's dangerous. I prefer Optalgin. Optalgin is not available OTC in America, but it should be. It is safe and won't cause liver damage or death if acedental overdose.

Siting: Building026
During a week, I worked from Building026 in Arnhem, the Netherlands while doing a one week location-specific photography project. From May 25 until June 1 2016 I photographed within a 1 mile radius of my temporary work space at Building026.
Everyday I uploaded the photographs I took during the day to this project page where you can see how the project unfolded. I also placed the photographs as thumbnails on a map so it's possible to see where each image was taken.
By the end of each day I chose the 'pick of the day'; one photograph that got printed on a large format to become part of the exhibition during GET FED Art Fair in Building026 that followed my one week of producing and editing. GET FED Art Fair opened on Thursday June 2, between 18 and 20 hrs. The exhibition was open to visitors until the 19th of June.
To see how the project progressed day by day and get an insight in the way I edit down each day's shoot, click any of the buttons below to see what and where I shot that day.
The map below shows all the photographs I took inside the area during the project..

What is Helvault?
Another 2 week adventure added to http://deckdueltales.blogspot.ca/ The thing about this adventure is the card featured itself was never really part of the setting. I never once saw a single person play this card. I never once knew what it could be used for other than protecting your own creatures. Unfortunately, that would not help in a competitive game. Yet this card had a huge impact on the greater story. I really wanted to see what players would do if I brought this card to the forefront of this Deck Duel Tales.

My teacher says that yoga practice is radical. And so it is.
I did a quick Google search: radical (the adjective) relates to or affects the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching and thorough. Some of its synonyms are: complete, exhaustive, extensive, profound, and rigorous
Yes, yoga is radical. Yoga requires the rigorous study of your own mind – the thoughts, emotions, personality, sense of individuality, and conscience. Through its various techniques it aims to clarify the mental field so that one can look at the world objectively rather than subjectively. By seeing clearly compassion wins out over anger, hate, and indifference.
Compassion: a feeling of sympathy coupled with a desire to alleviate suffering.
We all suffer, every single last one of us. In fact, we all make the choice to suffer. We could all make the choice not to suffer. It is such an easy thing to say, and such a difficult thing to do.
Fear is a basic building block of the human experience. It comes in so many forms and intensities. All fear boils down to a loss of individuation; a loss of what is mine verses what belongs to another. Fear is the threat of loss; whether it be my corporeal body, my free will, my possessions, my personality, my way of life, or anything that I have decided is mine (including the I in mine). Yoga asks us to go beyond fear, in essence to become super-human.
My happiness is my responsibility.
No one except me can make me happy. The shining jewel of bliss lies within, but it is covered with dirt. While I've done some cleaning in my time here as Michael, The Human, I've also added some dirt. My radical goal, the goal of my yoga practice, is to remove more dirt than I add to allow the light of bliss to shine through just a bit more. No one can do this cleaning for me, with the possible exception of God, and in the case of God I would need to politely request it and then (more difficult) acquiesce to the process (not likely given my fear of losing my free will and way of life). So I must engage in the radical practice of yoga, the thoroughly extreme practice of going back to the fundamental root of being.
Working with what I've got.
I have a body, which houses my mind. The best chance for my mind to become clear, insightful, and content is with a healthy body. I live in a society, which influences my mind. The best chance for my mind to remain calm, collected, and free of pain is to help others in society better themselves, thereby uplifting society in general. I make choices constantly and those choices affect me, all of me. I will study my choices and listen to the advice of those that I trust and those with more experience than me, with the aim of always improving my own condition. I will be patient and compassionate with myself.
What is the next step on this radical journey?
Every journey is made up of a multitude of tiny steps. Each step counts, whether it be forward, backward, or sideways. We can choose to move quickly or slowly, or some combination of the two. I'm about to go cook for myself with ingredients that are wholesome and sourced to my satisfaction. What step are you taking?

Old Rishworthians' hard work in finding a ground to play their Yorkshire Two game against Castleford paid dividends with a 34-0 win yesterday.
The Christmas floods left the Copley club with a headache but Old Crossleyans offered use of their Kensington pitch.
Rishworthians chairman of rugby Peter Morgan said: "It meant we could play a game and also offer our opponents excellent facilities.
"The help from Crossleyans was fabulous and we will always be grateful," he said.
Castleford, currently propping up the division, were soon under pressure and centre Taniela Bakoso came through on the burst to smash his way over within five minutes. Josh Kelly added the conversion.
From then, the issue was never in doubt and but for basic mistakes Rishworthians might have had more than the six tries they registered.
Teenage wing Sam Nunn almost got a touchdown from a kick through by scrum half Gary Morris. Then Morris himself was driven over by his forwards, but the referee adjudged the ball was held up.
Rishworthians had plenty of possession but seemed unable to do much with it until fullback Liam Phillips brought the ball forward from a clearance kick and linked well with stand-off Kelly.
He made a decisive break and captain Fraser Swarbrooke came through on the burst and touched down. Kelly converted to make it 14–0 at half-time.
Swarbrooke and lock Harry Collett had dominated the lineout in the first half and from another good Collett catch the pack drove the ball over with No 8 James Clarke touching down.
Nunn almost got over after a fine break, but he was on hand shortly after to take a pass from replacement flanker Gerard Rollings, who had made good ground after picking up a loose ball.
Soon after, Rollings was there again to gather another loose ball and this time he needed no assistance as he ran over to touch down.
Morris took a quick tap penalty and put flanker Nick Faulkner in at the corner for the final score.
