Medical Misdiagnosis Claims
There are few things more upsetting than being wrongly diagnosed medically. Only the largest stories hit the news, but even a small misdiagnosis can have devastating effects on your life. Whether you were wrongly told that you a condition when you actually did not, were told that you had a condition but it was actually something different, or were told that there were no problems when actually you did have a condition, the results can be all too serious.

Effects of Medical Misdiagnosis
Problems caused by medical misdiagnosis include:
- Taking unsuitable or unnecessary medicines
- Having unnecessary medical procedures
- Delay in diagnosing the real illness
- Not taking the steps necessary to improve a condition
- Stress from worry about something you actually did not have
- Death or other serious health implications
- Suffering side-effects from drugs which were not needed
- Worry for the partners, friends and family of the patient
- Unnecessary progression of the underlying illness while it remains untreated
Sadly, medical misdiagnosis is all too common for a number of reasons, but that does not make life any easier for you or those around you when it happens to you. Some newspapers are calling this the "misdiagnosis crisis" - but you don't have to suffer in silence.
An unbelievable 42% of medical patients feel that they have experienced a medical error, according to the National Patient Safety Foundation.
When you can claim for Medical Misdiagnosis
Whether an X-ray was read wrongly, test results were not responded to quickly or properly or any number of the other types of medical misdiagnosis, you should claim for compensation if you have been harmed.
It can sometimes feel a daunting task when you are ill, or have been misdiagnosed with an illness, to make a claim for compensation when the health industry has not provided the service that you would rightly expect. However the claim that you make could provide you the ability to get better health care, to cope mentally with the stress and worry caused by the misdiagnosis, and generally to help you to carry on with your life.
In the first instance, you should follow this medical misdiagnosis claims procedure:
- Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as you become aware of the misdiagnosis
- Keep/make as good a record of the history of your case as possible
- Retain any documents or medicine boxes that you were given as these may help to prove negligence.
Many claims fail because it is difficult to prove whether any delay on YOUR behalf made any difference to the outcome. They are often complicated by the issues relating to medicines given or not taken, and because many things can be argued over, it is vitally important you follow the advice above so that you maximise the chances of winning your claim.
Remember that you can even claim if you are the relative of someone who has been fatally misdiagnosed, and with a no win no fee or legal aid claim you won't be out of pocket either.
So, if you or someone you love has been misdiagnosed for breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, testicular cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, a pulmonary embolism, meningitis, appendicitis or any of the other conditions regularly misdiagnosed by health professionals, you should contact your personal injury lawyer as soon as possible and get the compensation that you are owed.

It was one of those moments that gets the heartbeat going faster than you like and palms sweaty.
Unless you are a licensed pilot.
Then you just pump the brakes, stay calm and make your way over to the side of the road.
Desert Vista girls tennis coach Angel Singer, who has a private pilot's license, told me the story on Monday as to why the team canceled its scheduled match against Tucson Salpointe.
She could smile now, but a week earlier when the tire blew on their mini-bus filled with 13 of her players while going at high rate of speed on the I-10 it was a bit harrowing.
"I just remembered not to overcorrect like in a plane," she said. "I just pumped the brakes, got it under control and made my way over to the right berm. When I got out there was an older couple in a RV that got over with us to make sure we were OK.
"I guess my hand was still shaking because the nice lady grabbed my hand and said, "Dear, you did a great job.' "
It took an hour and half for someone to show up with a new tire so the match against Salpointe was canceled.
They might get a chance to meet after all because as of Tuesday afternoon Salpointe was No. 1 in the power rankings and the Thunder were fourth, meaning if it stays the same and they both make the semifinals they will finally face each other.

See by Chloe 3/4 Sleeve Oversized Coat
I've seen a lot of coats like this in the fall/winter issues of fashion mags lately. Big, swingy coats in bright colors are definitely in.
Worn over a shimmering party frock, velvet heels, and dainty white gloves, this bolero makes you look like the million (or so) bucks.
The uneven hem creates a slouchy off the shoulder look that is casual yet sexy.
Classic little black dress, love the flattering v-neck!

It made no sense, but I found the sense it failed to make familiar.
An A.P. Roxborough made a map, a hypothetical bird's eye view, in 1918. It takes in the other side of the city's edge, far from Base Line, and the outlying area. I do not know if A.P. Roxborough made another map, lost to time, lost to the 1965 fire, perhaps, which shows my house, the house that shouldn't exist, with its worn late nineteenth century exterior offending the surrounding snout houses. An upstairs, which I rent to Gospherus and his cactus. But this map survives, and A.P. Roxborough sketched out something that would have gone unnoticed, had I not looked at so very many other maps and records.
A road, unnamed, possibly an old logger's road, runs just beyond the other side of the city, parallel to the old highway. It has a house, too, a solitary place where no building should be.
I can find no trace of house or road any other year. I can find no record of anyone building there. All the other maps show forest.
Perhaps I'm overreacting, overreading, overreaching. It could just be a logger's road that they stopped using, and A.P. Roxborough's house could be some shack the loggers built, a temporary lodging, long overlooked, long gone.
I have to know.
I head down the stairs of the building. It feels strangely deserted. The walls look wrong to me, and I assume it's because I'm tired. Bleary-eyed, I step out onto the street. It's warm for the time of year, but clouds have gathered. I see them both ahead of me and behind the cathedral. I see a procession of mourners. It takes me a few steps to process what I'm seeing.
They're dressed in the finery of another era, black and somber. Horses pull the hearse. I wonder if I've run into some kind of historical reenactment. It seems inappropriate to ask.
Some of the men wear military uniforms, also from another time and place.
The building across the street shouldn't be a haberdasher. I blink. All of the buildings are wrong.
Horse excrement litters the street though I see, at some distance, a motor-car, possibly electric toodling down the street. It stops when the driver sees the funeral. A passerby regards me oddly. He recognizes not the cut of my jib.
I flee down Cathedral Road and reach Base Line, as the storm clouds gather and the city crowds disperse. It's old Base Line, all right, and the two cornfields. In between stands a small wooded area and, sitting in the woods is my house.
Electricity charges the air.
The house stands taller than it does in my day. Below the familiar wood I can see the stony foundation. The cornerstone on my right bears engraved words. I want to see it, but I'm aware that the storm contains shadows and movement which others see as clouds.
I look to the sky.
They ride what one might call horses, or what a very talented artist might paint as horses if he himself had never seen one, and relied only on second-hand description.
The first horse, a white horse, carries a rider with a face positively skeletal, the rictus of a drying corpse. He's dressed in the manner of an old time country preacher or doctor. Crowning his head I see a broad-brimmed hat of the sort still seeing service in 1918, though a bit of an anachronism even then. He carries a bow saw. A little grey bird sits on his shoulder. Its name is Enza.
Next to him rides Mars, god of war, with centurion's breastplate and armour. Beneath his Cingulum Militare I see khaki green and combat boots. His helmet belongs to a German officer. A gas mask obscures his face. He rides a devil-red steed and has himself bare, red-devil arms. One bears a sword like lightning.
The black coat of the third horse seems a part of the storm clouds. I do not know if the rider is a man or a woman. The rider is old and wrinkled and carries a scale, such as one would have seen in a grocery store or apothecary of the sort I'm certain I'd find if I returned to town.
A pale horse carries the fourth rider, an animated woman's skeleton. She wears an old-fashioned nurse's cape, fastened with a red Ankh.
Their heads tower above the clouds, and yet they approach. They must be miles away, and miles high. The stools of the steeds would cover small villages. Horses and riders exhale the storm.
I feel dizzy. The clouds loose rain and the ground slips beneath me and away.

When it comes to high-tech features, luxury car drivers get all the love. It's true for massage seats, neck warmers, and self-parking systems. And it's true for head-up displays, which project information onto a car's windshield, so the driver can see how fast she's going and what song is playing on the radio without taking her eyes off the road. The technology has been in fighter jets since the 1950s, and auto makers have been toying with it for nearly three decades. But the cost of the technology has confined it to the luxury market.
Not anymore. San Francisco-based startup Navdy has created a head-up display that sits on your car's dashboard and displays information from your smartphone on a 5.1-inch wide glass display (usually, the display is built into the dashboard, and projects images onto the windshield). For $499, it gives any recent jalopy (it plugs into the OBD II port found next to the steering column on any car made after 1996) an intelligent display, along with gesture and voice commands. It will ship in early 2015 and is available for preorder at $299.
The device, about the size of a small paperback, has an accelerometer, electronic compass, light sensor, and Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi transmitters. Once it's wirelessly connected and running an app like Spotify or Google Maps, a simple display appears on the glass. Since it's plugged into the OBD II port, it can also provide data like speed and fuel economy. When a call comes in, you can answer with your voice, or, as Navdy's video demonstrates, a thumbs-up, which is recognized by its infrared camera (we'd keep both hands on the wheel and stick to vocal commands). It's also set up to process more modern inputs like sending Tweets or texting to share your current location and ETA. For the Android or Apple device it's paired with, software requirements are iOS 7 or Android 4.3 and later.
The idea has already been implemented in cars like the 2014 Mazda 3, with its Active Driving Display. Like Navdy, rather than projecting onto the windshield, Mazda's system shows info on a small glass panel that sits behind the instrument cluster. It even folds down when you turn the car off. For both Mazda and Navdy, this approach may seem clunky, but for the windshield to work with a projector, it needs to be specially treated. And if it cracks, replacement is all the more expensive.
Navdy is among the first aftermarket head-up displays in the United States. Pioneer released a similar type of bolt-on system for just under $1,000, but it's so far been only available in Europe. Then there's Google Glass, which Mercedes-Benz has been busy trying to integrate into its cars. Despite a few legal hiccups, like a potential ban in West Virginia, Glass achieves the same goals of the Navdy in a smaller, more expensive package. For now, though, the smartphone remains the tool around which car manufacturers and companies like Navdy are basing their designs. Regulators will have their say, naturally. Some state have laws dictating the maximum size of a windshield-mounted devices (in California, the the limit's 5 x 5 inches, so the Navdy's acceptable).
Whether or not our brains can safely handle dictating text messages during a highway merge hasn't been clearly established. Some evidence, including a AAA study, points to no. But if people are determined to futz with their phones while driving (they are), these devices are a good compromise. That is, until autonomous cars let us text all we want, while they do all the driving.

This tutorial was generously shared with us by Kristi at Life Soap Simple. Kristi owns her own handmade soap business and publishes a lovely blog by the same name. This week, Kristi is sharing a recipe for making Laundry Powder Soap. Next week, we'll feature the second part of this tutorial, a recipe for handmade fabric softener and dryer sheets. Thank you, Kristi, for sharing your tutorials with us!
Natural Laundry Care Tutorial, Part 1: Laundry Powder
Making your own laundry powder from items readily found in your local supermarket is easy, cost effective, and better for you and the environment. Here's what you need to make a 2 pound batch of laundry powder, enough for over 100 loads of laundry!
- Box grater
- Large bowl
- Gloves
- Scale
- Food Processor (optional)
- Dust Mask
- 1 pound Cold Process Soap (Many soap makers offer soap chunks or pre-grated soap, or you can make your own.)
- 8 ounces Borax
- 8 ounces Washing Soda
- 1 teaspoon Essential Oil* (optional)
Using the smallest size shred on the box grater, shred the soap into a large mixing bowl. Next, measure the powdered ingredients by weight and add them to the mixing bowl. Wearing gloves, mix the powders by hand until they are thoroughly blended. I also recommend wearing a dust mask, as the mixing process can generate a lot of excess dust. If you like, you can add up to 1 teaspoon of essential oil to the mixture.
*Essential Oil should not be used on or around babies and small children. Research any essential oil you plan to include in your laundry soap beforehand, as some essential oils can aggravate certain medical conditions. Individuals who are pregnant, have high blood pressure, suffer from seizures or other medical conditions should proceed with extra care.
- Choosing Your Cold Process Soap The cold process soap you use for this recipe should not be superfatted. The extra oils can create a film in your washing machine, and potentially leave oil spots on your clothing.
- Handling Essential Oils When using essential oils you should always wear gloves as they are highly concentrated. They should not be used on skin in their undiluted state.
- Scent Suggestions I really love lavender, but in the winter months I lean toward tea tree oil or eucalyptus instead. Citrus oils like orange and lime are also excellent choices.
- Using a Food Processor I suggest running your powder mix through a food processor to get it as fine as possible.This helps combine the ingredients and also dissolves better in your washing machine.
Usage & Packaging
- In wash water add 1 tablespoon of Laundry Powder per regular load, or 2 tablespoons of laundry powder for heavy or large loads.
- A batch this size should yield enough Laundry Powder for more than one hundred loads of laundry!
- Handmade laundry soap does not create foam and bubbles like commercial detergents. This makes it perfect for HE machines.
- Because Laundry Powder is made with natural ingredients, it is safe for baby clothes too!*
- Store Laundry Powder in an airtight container, away from high heat or humidity.

Feliz Navidad
Trip Start
Oct 01, 2012
Trip End
Sep 15, 2013
Thursday 20th- My Southampton friends are visiting from Puebla, Mexico City and Queretaro and so some hadn't seen a beach yet, hence why we decided to spend Christmas here in Cancun, and so our first stop was to my favourite place, the beach. As always, it didn't disappoint, and it was beautiful! In the evening we all went to the Irish Pub with other friends from our residential to enjoy Ladie's night and the same playlist that we have heard every Thursday night which involves all the favourites as well a Salsa tunes and the Mexican line dancing.
Friday 21st- The weather wasn't that great for Cancun standards so we decided to hit the Hotel Zone anyway an explore the pretty shopping centre which is situated by the lagoon After taking a couple of pictures with the massive shark, we decided to check out the Aquarium. Here we saw lots of fish, turtles, dolphins, sharks and we were allowed to feel the stingrays. This is the first time I've been brave enough to do this... my family can back me up on this one, because when we went to Stingray City in Grand Caymen I was absolutely terrified of them, screaming and swimming away. Now I'm scuba diving with them and touching them :D After seeing the sharks (Nursing, Lemon, Bull, Black tip reef) swimming in the tank, we decided on the spot to get in the tank with them... behind a plastic door. Sort of like cage diving, but plastic, in an Aquarium. Still pretty cool.
Afterwards we ate some food in Parque las Palapas and we all made multiple trips back to the row of food stalls for more tasty Mexican food. Then we took them to experience a stanard Friday night in Sweet :)
Sat 22nd- Spent the day at the beach in Playa del Carmen and walking along Quinta Avenida to buy our Secret Santa presents... how cute. We then returned to Cancun to watch The Hobbit, and after a certain incident, I was unable to concentrate on the LONG film so by the end I couldn't really appreciate it... The film finished at midnight and I decided to go for "one drink" with two friends. This one drink, turned into one whisky on the road, one trip to the antro until closing, one bottle of vodka and other concoctions I can't even remember being served. All this, and I was still dressed in my beach clothes (nike shorts and bikini) looking like absolute shit after long bus rides and the long film, brilliant. I would love to fill you in on everything that happened this night, but this was the most drunk I have been my entire time here. I ended up returning to my house with Maryanna around 9am, to find Jodie getting in the shower... I was so confused, and trying to sleep but then realised that everyone was ready to go on our planned trip to Isla Mujeres, and I was still absolutely smashed, giggling with no sleep... fan-tastic.
Sun 23rd- I joined the Southampton group on our trip to Isla Mujeres, and I honestly can't remember half of the things that happened this morning. I was an absolute state, and my legs were disgusting, covered in trails of vodka and cranberry, highlighting the tragic-ness of my life. I was dying. If you have seen the couple of photos on facebook you will be able to agree with me, I'm surprised I didn't fall off the boat! As you could probably guess, I wasn't particularly great company this day, still drunk during the start, and then to come crashing down with tiredness. Ideal when you are snorkelling off a tiny boat. Can't really say much about today as I was feeling very sorry for myself. I DO remember holding a cat shark called Pancho though, but it was really sad because he had a tiny enclosure in the sea to swim around :(
Mon 24th- We spent the day chilling on the beach in Cancun and then it was time for Bah�a Azul's nochebuena, Christmas Eve BBQ. This was very cute but we had to wait until midnight until we started eating, truly Mexican style Christmas ;) It was a hilarious night with a massive food fight started by Vicky, who was therefore nicknamed "Pinche Vicky" by the Mexicans. Classic. Jodie ended up being the main target, and was covered head to toe in the cucumber Josh spent hours chopping. So funny. Vicky ended up on the table to get better aim, with everyone chanting Pince Vicky. Jodie decided to take a break in one of the hammocks we have in our garden, and we were all having a bit of fun when we decided to wrap her up and start spinning her around. Hysterical laughter turned into nervous laughter when, from nowhere, this guy started a firework and put it right under her hammock... none of us had a clue what was going on, but for me, the fact that it was Jodie, it was hilarious. Slowly things were getting taken further and further until the same guy started another firework, but this time the laughter was cut short when we heard "IT FUCKING HIT ME KIM! IT HIT ME!" In the voice from her 21st birthday when she was imitating her mum. Oh god, SO funny. She has a pretty nasty bruise on her back from it though. Merry Christmas from Mexico.
Tues 25th- Christmas day was spent in Isla Blanca which was beautiful. We started the day with our cute little Secret Santa presents and I was given a ring, a sombrero key ring and the most perfect present for me- a notebook, to continue writing all of my shit down, with a little turtle painting on the cover! Love it! In my attempt at trying to find a sheltered place for us to make our BBQ, I trod on a cactus style plant which left me with needle-ball-like things completely stuck on the soles of my feet, and then I had to fall down to stop putting pressure on my feet, so they then ended up in my bumcheeks too... ouch. Spent a while with a beer in one hand trying to pull them out with the other, painful, yet funny. We then dug our hole for our BBQ and used all of our firelighters up just as the fire started to fail on us... until Gabi the Guetamalan saved Christmas for us, with her BBQ lighting knowledge, wooo. We ate peppers with cheese, rice, potato salad, vegetables, steak with tortillas and this Jamon de Pavo thing which was boom. Beautiful Christmas day, it was so much fun, still didn't feel like Christmas, but it was so cute! Then we hit up Congo which was another good night.
Weds 26th- We spent Boxing Day recovering in Cancun, on the beach of course. Then during the evening, I went for a couple of drinks at Plaza Los Toros (the bull ring) and then somehow didn't make it to Sensations to join the Southampton group, but instead I ended up breaking into the bull ring in the early hours. A motherfucking bull ring! Hilarious, and after my uni days of breaking into the room so often, I wasn't half as scared as my friend.
Thurs 27th- Today we went to a Cenote, which is inbetween Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and it was great. So pretty as usual :) Jumping off the cliff edge and also, after climbing up, some of us braved jumping off the tree. So cool, another good day finished off with Tacos in Playa del Carmen. The Southampton group is split between my house and another house, so we decided to do a Come Dine with Me style competition and the other house cooked up an absolute treat! So tasty! Starter- bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, feta, spinach & jamon serrano. Main was feta cheese, spinach stuffed, jamon serrano wrapped, juicy chicken. Mmmmm :D Dessert was "banoffee mess" served in the American style red cups. Amazing dinner, amazing night.
Fri 28th- Tulum. Tulum just takes my breath away every time. When we arrived, it was boiling hot, and I was so excited for everyone else to see the most beautiful place. Officially the world's best beach, and according to Lonely Planet, the #1 Mexican highlight. I couldn't believe how many tourists there were, get out of my hometown! Eurgh it was horrible, obviously Christmas time, it is peak season and the highlight of Mexico, but I just didn't expect it for some reason. Oh well, this didn't ruin the day, nor the beauty of the place, only the mega long line at the beginning. Everyone was blown away by the colour of the sea, and the ruins situated on the edge of the cliffs... incredible! We went down to the beach just in front of the ruins, and then we spent the rest of the day in another beach further down away from the tourists. Tulum is just perfection.
As you can see I've been so busy this week having an amazing time trying to show the guys from Southampton how great Cancun is... if I haven't had the chance to speak to you properly yet, I was thinking about everyone I've left behind this year and I love you all lots.
I hope you have all had an amazing Christmas with your families and friends, and a very happy new year! X

Thousands of bus workers are to stage a 24-hour strike over pay tomorrow, causing travel chaos for passengers.
The walkout at three firms - First, Metroline and Metrobus - is expected to cause widespread disruption to services in London.
Unite has called the strike in support of a campaign for a single pay rate of £30,000 a year for a 38-hour week for drivers, arguing that pay in the capital's 18 bus companies varies by up to £6,000.
Unite officer Peter Kavanagh said: "There is a startling disparity between bus drivers' pay in the capital, with rosters in some companies seeing many drivers complete nearly 60 hours a week.
"Not only is this potentially unsafe, it is unfair to have bus workers across London doing the same job for less money or having to put in longer hours."
The dispute is set to escalate, with Unite balloting workers in other bus companies for industrial action later this month.
Adrian Jones, managing director of First bus company London & Berkshire, said: "The union is intent on dragging further bus companies into strikes in pursuit of its fruitless bid to standardise conditions of working and pay in all companies.
"Transport for London deal with each contracted operator separately and have given no indication that they would be willing to change the way in which routes are bid for to allow for a single pay structure.
"First's bus drivers are already amongst the best paid bus workers in London. Between 2003 and 2007, First's bus drivers' pay increased by 34%, during which time inflation has increased by only 16%. Most drivers receive over £25,000 a year and this rises to over £30,000 a year for a normal rostered week for over a quarter of drivers."

" the protagonist's goal shouldn't just be to thwart the villain." -- THANK YOU. I'm pretty sure this is one of the biggest problems with my current WIP. *sits down to puzzle out the MC's goals*
And, actually, COULD you say more about #4? What names do you define as 'stupid'? Obviously not Az'zzksquillf'end etc... Or Renesmee.
But I write fantasy and science fiction, which means other worlds, which in my mind means 'made up names'. Where do you draw the line between 'original' and 'stupid'?My favorite part was when L.E. Modesitt, Jr. told us that there are only 3 editors who like what he writes. Three! But there are a lot more readers who like what he writes. Thus, he's had a long and distinguished career. Hearing him say that helped me believe for the first time that it really is about finding the right agent and editor. And just because one doesn't like what I write, it doesn't mean everyone else will feel the same way. I think the little devil on my shoulder exploded when I heard that because she has been mysteriously quiet ever since.
But the best part was definitely getting to hang out with the coolest people on the planet!

Did you know that Pinterest will generate you four times more money per click than Twitter? And 27% more than Facebook?
It's one of the most popular social sites with over 70 million members, 80% of those members being women. Because of these numbers, you have no choice but to leverage Pinterest.
So, the real question that comes to mind is how do you generate revenue from Pinterest? Sadly, it's not as simple as posting cool images to your board. There is actually a lot of science behind Pinterest marketing.
For example, there is a 36% increase in likes for pins that contain prices, and there is an 80% increase in engagement for pins that contain a call to action. And if you are able to leverage trending topics, you can get a 94% increase in clicks as well.
To show you how you can leverage Pinterest from a marketer's perspective, I decided to create an infographic that breaks down everything you need to know about Pinterest.
Click on the image below to see a larger view:
Click here to view an enlarged version of this infographic.
Although Pinterest isn't the most popular social network out there, it doesn't mean that you can't generate thousands of visitors and lots of money from it. If you have good products or services, especially ones that appeal to women, you should consider leveraging it.
At KISSmetrics, one of our most popular traffic sources for our blog is Pinterest. Users on that social site love sharing our infographics.
If you are going to take away one piece of advice from this infographic, make sure you schedule your pins during 2 PM – 4 PM. and 8 PM – 1 AM Eastern Standard Time. These are the times when you will get the most engagement.
So, how else can you leverage Pinterest?

Say Cheese! NY Subway Rats Get Photo Contest
NEW YORK - Rats scurrying through New York's subway system better clean their sharp teeth: they're in a beauty contest!
Fed-up subway workers trying to draw attention to what they say is an infestation have offered a free monthly transport pass to whoever snaps the best picture of one of the furry menaces.
Pictures can be sent to ratfreesubways.com where they will appear on the Rate My Rat section.
The site currently shows six entries, as well as videos of the infamously determined and hardy subterranean residents making off with pizza and other food dumped by untidy passengers.
"Rats are proliferating in the New York City subways," said the Transport Workers Union, which represents subway workers. "Aggressive rats are bolder about coming onto the platforms, and have even been known to bite riders. They infest the refuse rooms where garbage is stored."
The Metropolitan Transport Authority has declared rat war in 20 stations, but that is less than four percent of the total and "it's not enough. More must be done!" the TWU said on the site.

Max Power use for 2008 MacPro
Have a 3.2GHz 8 core MacPro 2008, 16GB Ram, with a 5870 in it, also have the original 8800GT with a Molex to 6 pin adaptor. If I run both cards, 4 hard drives, a PCIe eSATA card, and two superdrives, will it fry the PSU? (Assuming everything, CPU, both GPU, etc is running at 100%?) I can split the power off the Optical bay and snake it down into the PCI area to power the older 8800.
Man, the CIA is supposed to know everything. I was reading the post, it was looking good - does look like a maxed out config. But you left out the amp reading.
You can assume 80-90% efficiency for a modern power supply. And the specs say 318 W (MacTracker) which is an output spec. So max input draw will be just under 400W. Give us a reading. What's that puppy drawing? |
Well, the PSU shouldn't fry - generally they just make the entire computer start behaving weirdly when loaded, because it can no longer maintain power on the 12V rail. I wouldn't trust a reading at the wal either, unless you can somehow guarantee that you're loading both CPU and GPU to the max when testing - something that is harder than you think. Check the power supply rating of your Mac, and then type "power supply calculator" into google and pick one - I like this one. Enter your gear and see what it says, then compare to what your PSU says.
If you're going to really do this right and be certain, you have to calculate the load on each rail (=at each voltage). The problem is that most power-hungry things these days use the 12V rail, so that's the one you need to worry about. If you can find the rating on the 12V rail (there is often more than one, and the ratings are often printed on the PSU case), you can start adding up the amps for the power-hungry things like GPUs and CPUs to see how close to the ceiling you get on just that. |
Don't all MacPros have a 1KW PSU? I know my model does (1,1 2006). 1KW is plenty for your use but run a calculator as suggested to make sure.
Google says the PSU from the 2008 Mac Pro is rated at 980W.
If you allowed 100W for the four drives and 250W each for the GPUs (all overestimates), that still leaves you nearly 500W for the CPUs, the rest of the logic board and the eSATA card. Sounds like plenty to me. |
Not being sarcastic, but do you REALLY believe that you are the only person out there that has loaded up & maxed out their machines........
And these machines have been out for how long now ? What about all those graphic designers and music producers and scientists that use at least as many, and probably more, devices than you are........if a large number of their psu's were frying out under those loads, we would have heard about it by now :) Seriously, just stop worrying, be happy & move on with your life :eek: :rolleyes: :D |
My MacTracker spec of 318W must have been typical usage. According to Apple's spec page for the 2008 MacPro, it has a maximum draw of 1200 VA. That strongly suggests a 1000W power supply.
It's designed for 4 HDs, 2 opticals, and at least one high-powered GPU + 3 regular cards. Plus a healthy safety margin. I'd say you're fine with whatever you want to throw in. |
Yeah, just give it a go and don't sweat it. People take a lot of issues with Apple for a variety of reasons but those Mac Pros are seriously well built in every respect.

Cars > Challenges > ""Ashley"" Vs "Black Thunder"
1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza
2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4
"Black Thunder"
Head to Head
About ""Ashley""
Back in 2000, I had the misfortune to have to take a prescription that meant I couldn't drive. I sold the daily car I had at that point (one plain-Jane black 5-speed Cavalier coupe - a transportation appliance at best). A couple of years went by, and I changed doctors. The new guy prescribed something different for my condition, so I needed wheels once again. I could: A) spend $4,500 on a cheap used car that would just blend into the woodwork or, B) Find a really decent Corvair set up the way I like it. Now THAT car doesn't blend in. I found this '66 Corvair in Denver, CO, on eBay. The engine had been rebuilt by a nationally-known Corvair specialist shortly before the previous owner put it into storage for about ten years. It came out of the rebuild capable of putting 220 horsepower down to the pavement. Not bad for 164 unblown, carbureted cubic inches! It also had new tires all around. I won the auction, and flew out with my wife to drive it home. A fantastic road trip, and it cost half as much as shipping it would have. It became my daily driver for the next three years, until, in late '05, I had it in for state inspection at a friends Corvair restoration shop. While it was up on the lift, I got to see just how little rust the car had underneath. I decided at that point that it had seen its last winter of Pennsylvania road salt! It is now my nice spring day car, and a pleasure to drive. It still draws attention wherever I go with it.
UPDATE: I had to sell my beloved Ashley in August of 2009 due to the nation's lousy economy. My overtime had gone away and and my wife lost her job due to a work-related disability that they refused to accept responsibility for, so we just couldn't justify the expense of nearly $100/month to insure the third car in a two-driver household. Our mortgage was a couple of months behind, so sadly I took a friend up on his standing offer on her. As promised, he has given her the complete cosmetic restoration she so badly deserved. Of course, she didn't need anything mechanically - I always kept her up 100% mechanically. Furthermore, he gave me right of first refusal, so if he should ever decide to sell her, I get the first opportunity to buy her back.

Dear Prudence, I married my ex-husband when I was 21. Early on, we took Playboy-style pictures and saved them as slides. We divorced years ago and he kept the slides. I recently asked for our joint slides to digitize the pictures of our foreign travels. I found the old nudie pics in the slide boxes he happily sent me. I do not feel comfortable with sending these slides back to him. I want to burn them. Do I need to warn him before I destroy these slides? I have no reason to believe he would share them after all this time, but with the ease with which pictures travel the internet, I do not want them going public. Your opinion please.
It sounds as if you are on good terms with your ex, so I think you should be honest and say while you were looking at your old photos of your trips to the Tetica de Bacares mountains in Spain and the Grand Tetons out west, you came upon some photos reminiscent of those sites you'd both forgotten about. Tell him now that you've stumbled upon your old photo shoot, you want to hang onto this evidence of a fitter time. You have a strong case since you're now actually in possession of the photos and they're images of you. He'd be hard-pressed to make the case that he owns them; surely he's not going to try to re-open your divorce settlement over this.
But don't burn them! If you looked good enough to be an amateur Playmate, why destroy the evidence? Everyone is entitled to an envelope of sexy pictures stuck in the sock drawer. When someday you're clearing everything out for the move to the retirement community, how nice it will be to find these again and think, "Irrefutable evidence that I was hot!"
I'm a recent college grad in my first job, and I plan on staying on my parent's health insurance; it costs me $300-400 per year to be with them, and my employer's plan is $300-400 per month. I'm saving the company quite a bit of money but they're only reimbursing me the amount I pay, not the amount they would spend to cover me. Is this an appropriate thing to bring up my to HR person, confidante at work, boss?
If I understand correctly your employer is reimbursing you for the small amount of money you're paying to get health coverage elsewhere. But you would like them to write you a big, fat check for the money they would be out, but actually aren't, if you decided to join their program. Maybe when you have this conversation you could also say that by not having children yet, you are not taking family leave to care for them, so they should give you extra vacation time to make up for this. Alternately, you could conclude that given the number of people with no jobs and no health care coverage, you are in a sweet situation, your employer is in no way exploiting you, and that this is the definition of a non-problem.
The father of my son was convicted of various violent offenses and is now in prison. He has never made contact with us and I do not plan on contacting him. My son is now four and I've explained to him in simple terms that his daddy is alive but far away and can't see us. I plan on telling him about his father gradually and age-appropriately until he is old enough to understand the full story. But with the plethora of information available on the Internet I am worried that my son will look up his father's name out of curiosity and come across disturbing articles. I have a 9 year old nephew who is a whizz on the computer and I have nightmares about the kind of things my son might come across. There is plenty of information about his father, as well as graphic videos, on the world wide web. I know it's unrealistic for me to prevent my son from using the computer altogether without my supervision until he turns 18. What, if anything, can I do about this? Thank you.
You say you are wisely planning to add to the information your son has about his father over time and in an age-appropriate way. That means you cannot keep from him until he is 18 that his father is a violent offender. This is a very painful piece of news, and you're right not to want to dump it on him too young, but long before your son turns 18, you'll have to explain that his father is a troubled man and that sadly he is in jail for bad things he did. Many parents who have difficult news to convey worry that they will be forced to tell their children everything at one sitting. But if you son feels the subject of his father is not taboo, you will be better able to say, "If you want to talk now about why your dad is in jail, I will. But if it's okay with you, I think it would be better to talk more about this when you're a little older."
Do keep in mind during these discussions to also express to your son that no one is all bad or all good, and there were some good qualities in this man that made you choose him. It might also be helpful for you, and your son, to find a support group for people dealing with children and incarcerated parents.
Prudie, I stopped using my non-profit's health care plan, and they reimburse me the cost that they would be paying for me were I still using it. So - I don't think the poster's question is that far-fetched. Health care is a benefit that should still be extended to people not choosing to use it. Thanks.
Half the responses say I was too nice to "this entitled ninny" and half, like you, say there's money she's leaving on the table. Your letter makes the world of employee benefits appear even more impenetrable. A non-profit (!) has an employee who has chosen to get health coverage elsewhere, so they give her money for the benefits she's declined? Amazing. Given this new knowledge, the young employee should go to the person who oversees benefits at her company and ask very straightforwardly what the company policy is in a case like hers. If the policy is not to pay for benefits not received, then forget about it.
Dear Prudence, My husband has a sometimes habit of putting his dinner knife in his mouth, closing his lips around it and then pulling it out of his mouth. It seems to me that this is not good table etiquette for dining out, but I don't want to call attention to it if I'm off here. Is this improper table etiquette or not? Thanks for your advice.
Does he lick the soup bowl, too? You're right that putting the knife in your mouth is not good table manners. It's too bad he didn't cut his tongue in boyhood to cure him of this habit. You don't want to mention this when you're out. But at a more neutral time you can say, "Honey, you're probably not even aware of this, but sometimes when we're at restaurants you lick the knife. It may sound silly, but that's something you're not supposed to do at the table."
I was a nice, normal kid who grew up into a nice, normal adult. But I wonder if that would have happened if my nice, normal kid self had found nudie photos of my mom on one of my somewhat-regular snooping journeys into her dresser. Burn 'em. Kids will find anything. Besides, I'm guessing her current husband might wonder why she keeps them.
If you're snooping in your parents' dresser to find scandalous stuff, you deserve to come upon Mom's nudie photos. And I doubt it would have affected your buddy psyche to have found irrefutable evidence that when you snoop, you might discover Mom is hot.
My wonderful, sweet, loving boyfriend and I have been together for about 7 months now, and we are mostly very happy. There is just one problem, and it seems pretty big: he has terrible memory. I often have to remind him of details about events we attended together, because he simply can't remember most of the things we see or hear together - including arguments and why we have them. It irks me that he can remember the details of almost every sport he watches (including hockey, baseball, basketball, etc.), but cannot remember what we argued about 2 days ago. This memory problem inevitably leads to MORE arguments, when either he gets frustrated about me referring to things that he doesn't remember, or when I lose my patience at having to explain every single event over again. He is in no way a stupid guy, but this memory problem causes him to be so slow! I know I have a bit of a lack of patience, which is a problem I'm working on, but is there any way to make his memory better? Or are my short temper and his (lack of) memory doomed?
You make such a compelling case for wanting to improve your boyfriend's memory: because you enjoy rehashing the details of every disagreement, and it's impossible to do when he's oblivious to why you're so mad at him. I don't know if your "wonderful, sweet, loving boyfriend" has some neurological quirk which makes it difficult for him to remember personal interactions, but easy for him to remember sports statistics. But if your incentive for him to seek to improve his memory is so that he can recall all the nasty things you said to him, I think you need to go to some basic psychology textbooks and look up "operant conditioning." It could also be argued that one secret to a successful relationship is a poor memory for your partner's misdeeds. You've been with this guy for 7 months. Unless these memory problems are causing him difficulties in the workplace or other aspects of his life, you just have to accept he knows everything about Derek Jeter's career, and nothing about what pissed you off so royally last month. If that makes you want to walk, start moving.
As silly as it sounds, when we found the racy loveletter from my uptight dad and prudish mom, written during the 1950s BEFORE THEY WERE MARRIED ("I can't wait to make love to you again!!!") when we were in high school, it actually gave my parents, and their love, a whole new dimension. Now, granted they weren't that graphic - but it humanized them. And yes, we deserved what we got for snooping. I didn't need to know some of the naughtier parts...
It is funny that people get shocked by stumbling upon evidence that their parents enjoyed sex -- their own existence would seem to speak to this probability. Good for you for enjoying the new understanding these letters gave you.
My husband's father left his family while my mother-in-law was pregnant. Despite years of pleading he didn't bother to make contact with my husband as he was growing up. My husband eventually graduated college on full scholarship and made a big name for himself in his field. He recently appeared in the local newspaper about an achievement he made in his work, and the article briefly mentioned his financial success. Then out of nowhere his father appeared, suddenly repentant about his past and full of charm. My husband is enthusiastic at finally getting to know his dad and spends a lot of time with him. During the past few weeks it emerged that his father filed for bankruptcy in the past and his business is barely profiting. I am suspicious that he has emerged as an attempt to financially benefit from a rich son. My husband takes his father to expensive restaurants and showers him with gifts as if making up for lost time. My MIL confided that her ex-husband was the type of person who would borrow money to buy and flaunt extravagant watches and suits as it makes him feel important. I do not have the heart to advise caution as my husband is overwhelmingly grateful for his father's sudden affection. What can I say to him? Worried Wife.
You're his wife, so I hope you've had some conversations about how it feels to your husband to have his father suddenly reemerge in his life. You need to be both a sounding board and reality check -- understanding that this a momentous event for him, and encouraing him to go slowly emotionally, and every other way. Sure, your husband is in thrall to having his prodigal father return. But surely it won't be too long before this man puts the touch on your husband and his real intent becomes clear. When the request comes, you don't want to say, "I told you so," but you can help your husband sort out what have to be very complicated feelings. You also might want to be in on a discussion of how much money your husband gives, if the request is for a substantial amount. Sadly, it turns out that sometimes long-lost relatives are best never found.
You are cranky today Prudie! Have you considered that the poster is frustrated (and THAT is what leads to the arguments) because the boyfriend can't remember to do a chore or an appointment they had, or fulfill an obligation he made? And that it gets extremely tiring being being the one to have to remember everything in a relationship?
To the poster: It only gets worse after you get married and have kids - he will feel like an additional child to you (and you will become resentful). Look into adult ADD. And do not do everything for him - make him responsible for himself (his appts, where his keys are, etc). Good luck!
Every week someone points out to me how cranky I am "today". There's a pattern here and I will acknowledge that I'm cranky every day.
I accept this letter writer might find this boyfriend's mental deficit very frustrating. But she puts it in terms of his not being able to remember their fights! They've only been together a few months. If he's so annoying, she should forget about fixing him and move on.
After the deaths of my grandparents, we found the old nudie pics of my grandma that my grandpa carried around during WWII. Of course, my dad was a little grossed out, but I got a kick out of how hot my grandma was. Don't throw them away! Future generations will appreciate them.
Good point that skipping a generation may make the evidence more entertaining than disturbing
My brother and sister-in-law and I are putting together a book of pictures, letters, cards, etc for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. We sent out scrapbook pages with return envelopes to friends and family in mid-May and the anniversary is in about three weeks. We have a lovely collection from their friends and my Mom's side of the family, but essentially nothing from Dad's relatives. One of his cousin's sent an e-mail to me. I'll figure out some way to include the one relevant sentence, but that is it. I don't know how he is going to take this. Really no idea. I can't see making a joke about it when we give the book to them. I don't even know if we should say anything - like assure him that we included his sister, aunts and cousins. Or would that make it worse? My mother's side is missing a few cousins, but that is it. Is there anything you can think of that would ease the realization?
Your parents have been married for 50 years, so relatives from your mother's side of the family have been in his life for half a century. Surely the reminiscences you have include both your parents. The remarks and photos from friends are not about being from "his side" or "her side" of the family. Do not draw any attention to the paucity of contributions from his relatives. Happily present this wonderful book of loving memories without any caveats.
One of my dearest friends is turning a milestone year in a couple of weeks - she is a wonderful person who has had my back so many times and I love her dearly. The party that has been organized by another friend is relatively modest and the activity fits her to a tee. As embarrassing as it sounds, I still can't afford to go. I mean, I really can't afford to go and it isn't that much, really. In any other circumstance, I wouldn't have thought twice about the cost, but my life right now is not any other circumstance. How do I bow out gracefully without making it clear I'm not snubbing my friend, but at the same time not totally humiliating myself to my social circle, who are not aware of my current financial predicament? And, no, borrowing the money isn't an option - we aren't (and I am not) the type of people/person who does that.
If the party is not a surprise (it doesn't sound as if it is) talk to your friend. If you are so close surely she knows that right now you are in dire financial straits. Tell her you long to join everyone, but right now you're just trying to keep your utilities turned on. Tell her when things get better, you'd like to treat her to a belated birthday dinner. And if your friend says having you at her party would be the best present she could get, and she'd like to pay your portion (which you say is a relatively small amount) let her do it! That's what friends do for each other. If you are in tough circumstances, an outing with friends will be a tonic. Don't let a point of unnecessary pride keep you from celebrating this milestone.
My boyfriend and I have an amazing relationship emotionally and sexually. Unfortunately an incident happened that has created a very awkward feeling between the two of us. I am a bit more adventurous sexually than he is, nothing crazy but I have no problem when the mood hits to go with it even if we are outside of the bedroom (as long as we are alone of course). Well such a moment happened outside in our very secluded and wooded porch. It started out great and ended horribly with him laughing because of his discomfort in the situation and both of us being upset and embarassed. My question is how to deal with this? I'm upset because he is making me feel like I've done some great wrong, can't understand why I'm embarassed, and embarassed because I now feel like he views my sexual thrills as funny. Also I don't get why if he was that uncomfortable he didn't just move us inside. This is such an awkward situation! I don't know how to have this conversation with him and resolve this tension. Please help!
A sense of humor, even about sex, can get you through a lot of awkwardness. Don't let this become The Porch Disaster We Can Never Mention. Say something like, "Hey, you know what would really turn me on tonight? If we spray ourselves with DEET and do it in the front lawn!" Every couple willing to experiment is going to find that sometimes trying Geese Flying Backward results not in thrills but a twisted knee. If you can laugh it off, you're better able to try, try again.
My husband is also very forgetful about events. It only bothers me when I have held this really wonderful memory of a special experience we shared, and when it comes up he says "What are you talking about? I don't remember that." or "Oh. . . . right. When was that?" It can be irritating that he has no memory of special moments we have shared, especially when they are meaningful to me. So even though the LW seems to want to rehash old arguments, I think she has a point on the shared events thing. My husband and I have been together for 8 years now, so I have pretty much accepted it as a quirk that I have to remind him of 'our' wonderful memories (but I do keep good photo albums so 'our' memories are preserved!).
Thank you for bringing this full circle. I hope this means your photo albums contain nude picture to help jog his memory of your hotness!
Speaking of hot -- I hope everyone has a good week and a working air conditioner. Thanks, all!

ReMix: Chrono Trigger "Dream of Zeal"
Help us take OCR to the next level by supporting us on
- Game: Chrono Trigger (Square, 1995, SNES)
- ReMixer(s): bLiNd
- Composer(s): Nobuo Uematsu, Noriko Matsueda, Yasunori Mitsuda
- Song(s): "Corridor of Time"
- Posted: 2002-04-27, evaluated by the judges
Judges liked this one a lot, and so do I. A lot of their comments actually centered around the fact that it's yet ANOTHER ReMix of the Chrono Trigger 'Zeal' theme, which seems to get a lot o' lovin' here at OCR, but what can you do when a lot of talented people all want to take a stab at the same track? Newcomer Jordan Aguirre, alias bLiNd, makes a strong initial offering with this nice electro-groove that uses trance-style synth textures but is more groove-oriented. Over a solid, rolling beat and a good sub bass (yes, you can actually tell the difference), you can tell from the very beginning on this one that the right elements are there. One judge writes: "The synth lines are very fun and the swirling pads covering the filler for the chords make a nice contrast. The lead line has a great ravy sound to it, reminds me of a dune track or something.", which sounds about right to me. The quality of the sounds used have a lot to do with the overall appeal of this mix, as the essential melody / arrangement remains similar to the original. For me, the coolest bit was the striking higher descencding synth line used as a hit of sorts at 0'16" and elsewhere - it's abrupt and dramatic and perfect for the part. Can't argue with the intro either, which has the lead filtering through the deftly mixed drum track. So what if we have a lot of Zeal mixes? With this excellent submission, bLiNd joins the not-so-few, the proud, the mixers with a zeal for Zeal (okay, you can kill me for that one). Highly recommended.
