The rated current of the main Molex connector is 6A per contact. Some Apple models have this signal reversed.Īlso note that many brands such as Apple's Power Mac, Dell (during certain years), Compaq and HP used proprietary boards with entirely different pin designations- see this for info on some brand name power supplies.Īll voltages are referenced to the same common (if you need to measure any voltage, connect the return lead of your voltmeter to any of the COM contacts). Under normal operation, PS_ON# is activated when you press and release the computer power button while it is in standby mode. Otherwise, only 5V standby voltage will be present. If you want to do some testing of a stand alone unit, to start it up outside of a PC case you need to short PS_ON# line to the common. Well, under certain conditions a new PSU can still be used with an old PC and vise versa- see our guide on connecting 20-pin PSU to 24-pin motherboard. People often want to know what to do if there is a mismatch. The old socket was 39-01-2200 and the mating header was 39-29-9202. Mating motherboard header is Molex 44206-0007. The colors are shown here just for reference (you won't see them from the front). The colors in this chart represent recommended wire colors in the PSU cables. Accordingly, different ATX-style PSU may use different number of power wires: see the pinout diagram to the right. To provide the additional wattage, the old part has been replaced by a new 24-pin P1. When PCI Express® bus was introduced, PCIe cards needed up to 75W extra. The original ATX systems had 20-pin main connector P1. Moreover, the PS/2 power supplies supported by most mid-towers are also extremely common and relatively inexpensive, compared to other form factors having similar quality and capacity.įeel free to have a look at our How To Build A PC for additional build recommendations.Standard ATX power supplies typically have the main power connector P1, additional 12V connectors, as well as peripheral, floppy drive, serial ATA, and PCI Express® receptacles, which we will describe below.įor the operation basics of SMPS PSU see our power supply tutorial. Starting with a mid-tower case usually means getting a full-ATX motherboard, but it’s important to remember that Micro ATX and Mini ITX still fit (they just leave more space in front and below the board). The best style of case for new builders to start with is typically a mid-tower, since the parts for these tend to be less expensive and the space inside expansive. Design details alone allow people to apply the label to everything from Intel NUC to Micro ATX. What About Small Form Factor?ĭiscussions of “small form factor” again focus on the qualitative rather than quantitative: Various user groups try to pin things down to a maximum case volume (typically in liters), but we don’t think that any of them need to agree upon a set standard for the simple reason that there is no motherboard form factor specific to these designs. Height is used for volume, but not footprint. One minor note is that footprint refers to how much space a device consumes on your desk or floor, so that a 16-by-16-by-6-inch desktop has a larger footprint (256 square inches) than a 9-by-21-by 24-inch-tall full tower (189 square inches). Your biggest problem is going to be the competition. You picked probably the worst career field to attempt OTS from. I’m an airborne linguist applying to OTS. Intel specialists (across branches) can directly apply for commission as a USCG Intel Officer but you need to have Les than 10 years AD service among other requirements Super competitive, but if you know about it/prep for it, you can have increase your odds.Ģ) US Coast Guard’s direct commission program. Rope program, any awards, dean’s list recognition & honors can be used to help highlight your history of excellence/leadership.ġ) SLECP-O is an another program to apply to OTS. Make sure to get your AA and focus in class to get your GPA up.Ģ) Absolutely use your time at DLI to get as many leadership/recognition opportunities as you can. Some food for thought I which I didn’t know about at DLI…ġ) Your DLI AA (and potentially DLI Bachelor’s) can be reflected in your OTS package. Out of curiosity why do you say it’s your only path?Īlso I’m a 10+ year 1N3 & OTS select, so I know some of what your might be going through (feel free to DM me). Score good on the AFOQT, network, establish leadership skills, volunteer, perform your enlisted job well, and for goodness sake avoid the 2nd Bachelors degree and shoot for a masters. I know a few who did that.īut don't limit yourself and take yourself out the game over some low GPA. Who know, you may can join another branch as an officer, then come back to the USAF as one. USCG, ANG, National Guard, AFR, USA, USMC, etc.all have similar jobs and different lifestyles, but it's a path to commissioning. Not sure what kind of officer job you want but for what it's worth, look into other branches too. Speak to a few officers (junior and Majors are best) and pick their brains. If not, just keep doing things to stand out (don't be a blue falcon though) but be humble and walk with a big stick, start making some moves, and things will fall in place.Īlso, network and look for other avenues. That will be huge and then if you promote quickly, obviously the OTS board will see your worth. That way, when your supervisor sees that airman OP is taking the initiative (in school, service before self, good at their job, etc.), they may promote your within the Below the Zone. Lead a monthly math course for free or e where I'm going with this? Also, while you're at it, depending on what school you enroll into and if it's local yo your base, volunteer your math skills for tutoring or see if your base needs a tutor and help out folks with math. Meaning, move forward with a Masters degree program. I had a E7 tell me one time the AF wants to see you PROGRESS and Expand your higher education, not sustain it. I would skip the whole 2nd bachelor's degree route. Yeah, it's low but that number doesn't speak of who you are and what you are capable of. I'm not sure what's your resume/background but if I was in your position, I would sell myself on what I bring to the table. You just have to sell yourself a little more harder, especially in areas of leadership and community involvement.in and out of uniform. "John Candy turns in an amusing performance as the bumbling detective Harry Crumb who is called in to solve the case of a wealthy socialite's kidnapped daughter. He managed to make another 18 films before he died of a heart attack in his sleep on location of the film "Wagons East", in Durango, Mexico on March 4, 1994. This film was released in February of 1989 and grossed $11 million. The skits alone make this a must-see for all and a must-have for any Candy fans. Here he goes from having excessive chest hair to having a beard in the wink of an eye. His impersonations are all quite funny and truly ridiculous, especially the one where he plays Hungarian executive, DuJour Dioche. This is one of Candy's better efforts and he is largely a one-man band. It is, however, an excellent transfer in "Widescreen Format" and an obvious improvement over the VHS offering. If being able to add English Subtitles and select scenes are features, then this DVD has features. We can see what's happening, but it is the way that Crumb gets from point A to point B that makes this film entertaining and worth watching. But - not before breaking his boss's prize dinosaur eggs and everthing else that gets in his way. The idea is that somehow, despite his penchant for being a complete idiot, he somehow catches the kidnappers, by accident. He plays a series of "under-cover" impersonations that run the gamut from Middle Eastern Vice-President of operations to a blonde transvestite. The series of vignettes that make up the heart of the film are John Candy at his best. In "Who's Harry Crumb?", it's all in the execution. In the meantime, Elliot Draisen tries to have his way with the millionaire's wife (Annie Potts), but does that have anything to do with the plot? While Crumb bumbles along through various mishaps (aided by his able assistant, Shawnee Smith) which are articulated via a series of ridiculously funny comedy skits, the kidnappers feel completely secure. Draisen doesn't want the kidnappers found, for reasons of his own. Eliot Draisen (Jeffrey Jones) who somehow has become the Director of "Crumb and Crumb" assigns the inept Harry Crumb to find the kidnapped daughter of a multi-millionaire (played by the affable Barry Corbin from TV's "Northern Exposure"). This Crumb works in the agency his legendary grandfather founded, but he's been exiled to their "Greater Tulsa" office. John Candy plays bumbling Harry Crumb, the last survivor of a family of great detectives. □ 1968 Hot Wheels Redline Deora HK PURPLE -very nice condition!

I for one was basically not able to put it down for days and did finish it after about three (24 hours for all achievements). As well as the occasional humor - maybe not the best writing we've read/heard in the Portal universe but I still found it amusing. Gamefairy will be kicking things off with a Collectors Edition of Bridge Constructor Portal, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. And even though the game is relatively easy, it still takes a bit of time and tinkering to figure out stuff sometimes and that makes it really fun. Portal is a series that hasn’t existed on a Nintendo. Take Bridge Constructor, put it within the Portal franchise and you get the obviously-named Bridge Constructor Portal. Bargain Alert: Big W has a great deal on Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4 and more. Music is very good, even though not varied enough. Big W will have the new Nintendo Switch bundles for Black Friday at great price. Now for the good: The visual style is pretty good and it performs well (even on my low-powered Intel HD Graphics, it ran at relatively smooth 20-60 FPS in full HD - depending on how complex the bridge constructions are and whatnot). Bridge Constructor Portal blends the laws of structural engineering and technology straight from Aperture Laboratories into an exciting new game experience, all under the demanding gaze. Enter the Aperture Science Enrichment Center and experience Bridge Constructor Portal the unique merging of the classic Portal and Bridge Constructor games. One would think that with all their development experience, they would know better by now. And for some reason, achievements don't unlock immediately but when you return to the main menu. When you jump to specific levels from the main menu, there is no preview of the level layout. Enter the Aperture Science Enrichment Center and experience Bridge Constructor Portal the unique merging of the classic Portal and Bridge Constructor games. You can't simply select, move and delete things like you would expect based on any other application that you control with a mouse (be it real time strategy games, graphics applications, etc.). It's relatively easy (I felt that only maybe 2-3 out of those 60 levels were a true challenge) and even though the UI was improved a LOT over the original Bridge Constructor, it still ****. The bad upfront: For some reason, no leaderboards, even though the game clearly tracks stats. One option is to start taking the medication in the morning, so you’re not as negatively influenced by the stimulatory side effects. If Sudafed is the best medication for you, your doctor can also advise you on ways to reduce the risk of side effects. Your care provider will be able to assess your situation and determine whether another medication might be better-suited to your needs. When medications like Sudafed cause insomnia and other side effects, the best thing you can do is speak to your doctor. Does Sudafed keep you awake? Here’s what you can do If you’re experiencing any negative side effects from Sudafed, including restlessness or trouble sleeping, seek medical advice before you continue your treatment. When you feel unwell, you might struggle to get to sleep more than usual. Headaches are also a common side effect of this medication. Sickness and headaches Some people who take Sudafed report side-effects of feeling restless, shaky, or nauseous.

When this system is activated, it flushes the body with hormones and prepares you for stressful situations with increased heart rate and alertness.īeta receptor stimulation By stimulating the beta receptors, pseudoephedrine can increase heart rate and blood pressure. General stimulation of the sympathetic system Pseudoephedrine can activate the sympathetic system, which has a direct impact on the regulation of your sleep-wake cycle. Some of the most common reasons Sudafed keep you awake include: Around 30% of patients in a study said they experienced sleep issues when taking Sudafed. This may make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. There are several answers to the question: “Why does Sudafed keep you awake?” Not only is pseudoephedrine a stimulant, but it can also cause other various side effects. For some people, this means taking Sudafed can cause feelings of alertness, which make sleep feel impossible. Norepinephrine, being similar to adrenaline, is one of the primary chemicals released by the brain to keep the body in an “aroused” state when preparing for the fight or flight response. It increases blood pressure and boosts norepinephrine levels. Unfortunately, while pseudoephedrine is excellent at removing congestion, it also has a stimulatory effect on the body. Sudafed essentially opens your airways, so you can breathe easier when congested. Sudafed contains the active ingredient pseudoephedrine, which works by causing vessels in the respiratory mucosa within the nose to shrink. Often, this happens when you’re dealing with issues like a sinus infection, the flu, or allergies. Nasal congestion happens when blood vessels in your sinuses become inflamed or swollen. Sudafed is the name of a common nasal decongestant. We’ll let you know what you can do to reduce your risk of negative side effects with this medication. Today, we’re going to look at why some people simply can’t sleep after taking Sudafed. Although there’s no guarantee taking this decongestant before bed will keep you awake, people who already have sleeping issues, may want to be wary.Ĭlick here if you want to know about other medications that cause insomnia. Sudafed is just one of the more common medications on the market today, which might interfere with your sleeping habits. Read on to learn how to avoid the jitters before bed, but still shrink your swollen nasal mucous membranes… Does Sudafed keep you awake?

But me, I just like to feel fresh, I like to feel like I've got everything under control. “Obviously, there are players that need a lot of matches going into a Grand Slam. I'm always going to have to keep that in mind. “I have always been a player that doesn't need too many matches,” said Kyrgios.
