California Crop Circle Turns Out To Be Marketing Stunt by Nvidia Chip Maker
Submitted by barracuda_trader on Wed, 01/08/2014 - 07:37
This photo provided by NVIDIA shows a 310-foot "crop circle" in a California barley field that mystified locals this week was explained Sunday: it was a publicity stunt by Nvidia Corp., a maker of chips for PCs and smartphones.
Confirmed! Crop Circle Mystery Solved
Crop circle mystery solved: It was all just a marketing stunt
If and when aliens do ever show up on our planet, they're going to have to go a long way to convince us cynical earthlings they're not just the creation of a technology firm bent on hawking a new product.
In the latest example of an advertisement to go viral, a "mysterious" crop circle found in Chualar, near Salinas, Calif., turned out to be a stunt by Silicon Valley chipmaker Nvidia. The company's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, confessed to the marketing stunt on Sunday evening at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Mysterious Salinas Crop Circle Plowed Over
A mysterious crop circle in the Salinas Valley attracted so much attention that the land-owner hired armed security guards to keep people off the property.
But the crop circle is gone. On Tuesday, the landlord ordered a crew to plow over the entire field.
Aerial photographer Julie Belanger spotted the crop circle as she was flying over the valley Monday morning.
"It was beautiful. Quite beautiful," Belanger told NBC affiliate KSBW. "I believe it's possible that aliens exist, but I don't know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message."
Braille experts said in the center of the design is a braille inscription that has the number 192 over-and-over.

Had a feeling it was a hoax from the "lights" video
from the night before the crop circle was discovered. It just stank of fakeness.
I'd like to see how this thing was made so that we can discard this entire "myth" as man-made "ET Propaganda" once and for all.
I used to think maybe HAARP had something to do with how these are made but seems the methods might be a lot simpler than first thought.

I had to make the sad decision to get rid of my small flock of 4 hens and 2 ducks. I'm completely discouraged from the mites and lice they constantly get,,even though I powder,dust and clean routinely..they never go away.
therefore,,my question is this...since now that they're gone,and after we clean out the coop and leave it empty,,will the mites eventually die? I won't be getting anymore for at least 2 years and when I do,they will be in a roofed run and hutch attached to prevent these horrible outbreaks,,instead of freee ranging and living in our gazebo. will they finally go away? or will these mites live on us,or our pets?(dogs,cats,rabbits?) thanks,, |

I have a question about temping timing.
I normally take my temp at 5:30 am. This morning I woke up at 4 because I had to pee, I laid there for a minute debating on if I should take my temp or not since I wouldn't get 3 hours sleep before my alarm went off, I decided to take it anyway then I could get up to go to the bathroom. At 4am my temp was 36.35. I went back to sleep at woke at 9am (WAY past time to take it but lots of sleep between) and imediately took my temp to see if it was the same as before. It was 36.58! I have no idea which temp would be most accurate, since I got my temp spike yesterday I was hoping to see it stay up but now I have no idea what to think!
I usually use the earlier temp, but I don't know if that's the most accurate. For instance, two days ago I woke up at three and took my temp then and it was seriously low compared to my other temps. I'm hoping it was off because it was so early!

I checked FF and it said to use the best block of sleep, which would be the later temp, since we were up till after midnight and I laid awake for a while before I took my temp, I got a good 4 1/2 hours of sleep after that.
"f you have to get up in the night and it is unavoidable, like having to take care of a small child, or if you have to go to the bathroom, just do the best you can. While some women notice rocky temperatures when they wake during the night, some women notice little impact. Take your temperature as close as you can to the same time each morning and choose a time that is likely to be when you have had the most sleep. For example, if your toddler wakes up every morning at 6 am, then take your temperature at that time, even if you go back to sleep. Try to avoid taking your temperature in the middle of the night, though, even if you seem to always get up at the same time in the middle of the night. Temperatures taken in the morning show a clearer biphasic curve and the time is more predictable."
For now I'm using the later temp but made note that it wasn't at the normal time, I also noted the earlier temp. We'll see if it's up again tomorrow morning, if it stays up I'll keep the later temp I guess, if not I might switch to the earlier temp. When I went back to my chart I noticed I had 2 significant dips - both were from night waking and taken earlier than normal, even though it was after a good block of sleep.
Unfortunately no matter WHAT my chart looks like I can't MAKE my body have O'd so only time will tell but man is it ever frustrating!
Sounds like you made the right decision. Hope this is your month
Crystal, sorry your temp is messing with you like this. I wouldn't get too upset yet, though. Your temp might jump back up tomorrow. Sometimes you'll have a "fallback rise". Just go search FF for charts with "fallback rise" and you'll see bunch of charts with this pattern and 32% end in BFPs! I know how frustrating it is to have your body fake you out....mine does it to me all the time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your temp goes up nicely tomorrow!!

OOOOOO! THAT bed in a KING
OOOOOO! THAT bed in a KING SIZE would be a rock star bed!!
A beautiful simple headboard reminiscent of an old barn door. Just needs a beautiful finish.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
I bet you have received your Pottery Barn Kids catalog in the mail, and you have already lusted over the Brookfield Collection. I love the play table, it would double perfectly as a coffee table. And the cubby console is a must hack. But it's the bed that I had to take on this morning.
Brookfield Bed, Image Designed By Ana White |
Ana vs the bed, what do you think?
Brookfield Bed, Designed and Image By Ana White |
I'm saying everyone wins. Like the Pottery Barn Kids Brookstone Bed, our bed can be built with pine boards and a sheet of plywood (for the bottom of the bed). But today, we are going to focus on the headboard.
This headboard reminds me of an old barn door with the cross bracing. It's also economical to build because it's made of 1x4s and a couple 1x3s and 1x2s. Go for the cull bin and pick up cracked and distressed boards for added character and big discounts - just make sure you check all your boards for square. And easy way to check a board for square is to pretend it's an arrow on a bow. Look down the board like it's an arrow and you will be able to easily see if the board is straight. Rotate the board to check all sides.
Brookfield Headboard, Designed and Image By Ana White |
With the right finish, this headboard is going to be so pretty!
6 - 1x4 Boards @ 8 feet long
2 - 1x2 Boards @ 8 feet long
3 - 1x3 Boards @ 8 feet long
See attached PDF for full building instructions.
12 - 1x4 @ 31" (Panel Boards)
2 - 1x2 @ 49 1/2" (Side Legs)
2 - 1x3 @ 49 1/2" (Front Legs)
2 - 1x3 @ 38 1/2" (Back Supports)
2 - 1x4 @ 38 1/2" (Front Trim)
1 - 1x4 @ 26" (Center Trim)
1 - 1x3 @ 44" (Top Trim)
1 - 1x4 @ 45" (Top Trim)
2 - 1x4 @ 30" (Cross Bracing, ends cut 30 Degrees off square, parallel)

Any suggestions?

Wow, it's amazing how easy it looks to build this bed when you break it down and I'm excited at how cheap it should be to build!!
Stephanie replied on Permalink
You just made my life so much harder ... now I don't know if I want the farmhouse canopy bed (which I had pretty much decided on) or the brookstone storage bed! Could you pretty please make plans for the bed in queen size?
Momma Button replied on Permalink
I'm agreeing totally with Stephanie. I don't know which to make, this one or the farmhouse bed (queen size please.) Decisions decisions.....
Jen replied on Permalink
Ana, I LOVE YOUR BLOG! Thank you!! You've got me so inspired. You find time to build *and* be a mom. I'd love to see this plan in a KING size bed! I've lusted after the farmhouse bed, but really want the storage like the Stratton bed. This is perfect. King size please!
The Family Jacob replied on Permalink
Ana, Do you have plans for the lower section of the bed? Our current bed is not long for this world and is not what I really wanted anyway. I would love it if you have plans for the bed and like so many others would love it in a king size!!!
amyzap replied on Permalink
LOVE the bed!! Any plans for the full size?
Rachel replied on Permalink
I absolutely LOVE this bed. I would love to try to make it, but the PDF plans aren't loading. anyone else have that problem? Can I find the plans anywhere else?
Is there plans for the head board on this bed?
Do you have the buliding plans for the headboard? I see you have plans for the storage base, but not the headboard.

I'm having the same problem. The plans aren't here! Help Ana!!

Real Title of Report: Some women leaving the gun at home for a can of bug spray
Posted: Feb 20, 2013 12:33 PM PST
Updated: Feb 20, 2013 12:33 PM PST
Posted by Sean Edmondson
My Comments: Who needs a gun? I hope the Anti-2A law makers and Crazy Uncle Joe Biden don't read this. Next thing they will say is that a) Women are too frail to handle a can of bug spray, and b) We need to reduce the capacity of size of Bug Spray to reduce inter-city violence.......... Not a bad choice if that 'is all I had', but not my primary choice.
ST. LOUIS (WFIE) - Some women in St. Louis are ready to take aim and fire if confronted by an attacker, but their weapon of choice isn't a gun.
Instead, they're turning to a common household product to protect themselves.
....Officials at the St. Louis County Police Department responded to the story saying it's better to use items for their intended purpose and added it's against federal law to use wasp spray for purposes other than what's listed on the can.

(CLOSED) Disney's WILDERNESS LODGE and VILLAS Information Thread ~2012~
http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...ess-1280-2.jpg http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...rnessLodge.jpg WILDERNESS LODGE HISTORY... Opening on May 28, 1994, Disneys Wilderness Lodge was inspired by the Great American Northwest National Park lodges from the turn of the 20th century. It is an architecturally grand Disney Deluxe Resort honoring American craftsmanship and artistry, and celebrates the majesty of the unspoiled wilderness. Designed by architect Peter H. Dominick, Jr., who also designed Disneys Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Grand Californian, the theme of being in harmony with nature winds through the lodge, inside and out. Authentic décor and genuine artifacts pay homage to ancient Native American cultures and the pioneering spirit of early American explorers. Step inside the 7-story lobby, the centerpiece of Disney's Wilderness Lodge, and be awed by 2 towering totems. Each reaching 55-feet tall, the hand-carved pole, one topped with a raven, the other an eagle. Draw your eye up the 4 levels of corridors that surround the lobby and provide access to sitting nooks, terraces and nearly 730 guest rooms. The various animals, from whales to raccoons to eagles carved into these totems, depict Native American myths and legends. A 10-foot totem near the Wilderness Lodge Mercantile features a few more famous animals. Disney character Humphrey Bear stands at the base and supports Donald Duck. Lodge legend has it that rubbing Humphrey Bears black nose brings good luck. http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...IMG_0127-1.jpghttp://www.1southerntravel.com/image...ge-lobbyad.jpg http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...K/28E6B6FF.jpg http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...K/3BBF92FB.jpg http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...85F58EFD-1.jpg http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/t...K/197F04BC.jpg While looking up towards the ceiling in the lobby at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, notice 4 massive teepee-shaped chandeliers suspended from solid Lodgepole Pine beams.

In the Carolwood Pacific Room (formerly the Iron Spike Room), which is in a corner of the VWL lobby, you can play chess and checkers by the fireplace or learn more about Walt Disney's favorite hobby. Two of the most intriguing pieces of history in this room are the two train cars, donated by Walt's daughter. The cars actually come from Walt's own backyard railroad, the Carolwood Pacific Railroad. Walt used to pull these cars behind his own American 4-4-0 engine named "Lilly Belle" after his wife. You can see the Carolwood Pacific logo on the cars. ~MORE PHOTOS Christmas photos courtesy of Janet B LOBBY: http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/p...VLobbyTree.jpg SITTING AREA OFF LOBBY: http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/p...ttingarea2.jpg |

The collections of the season translated into visually captivating Fall/Winter 2012 Ads. This campaign season was vivacious with groundbreaking work in the field of fashion and luxury retail advertising. Notable inclusion of various celebrities and models was alive with each label working to stand out for the season. A few standout campaigns managed to create imagery that played with various levels of avant-garde, minimalism and artful inspiration.
For instance, the Alexander McQueen label used the ultra modern 'Glitch Art' genre to create a captivating campaign video that worked perfectly with the brand's forward-thinking image. T by Alexander Wang called in controversial rapper Azealia Banks for an upbeat show to compliment its minimalist collection. Finally, the work of LANVIN Paris this season is unrivaled in relatability with its capitalization of individuality.
The Fall/Winter 2012 Ad season was strikingly groundbreaking—it will be interesting to see which campaigns best appeal to demanding fashionista consumers.

should C:\ drive be a partition for only for OS W7?
right now i have a C:\ drive that is 419 gb partition out of 465 gb physical drive and it holds nearly everything such as OS, all my files/settings/programs/anything that i use or decide to leave in storage..
now i was tihnking of leaving one partition to just Windows only.. that would mean C:\ drive would have only windows files and be a much smaller partition is this safe?? and would anything go wrong after doing such a thing?? does it also mean that in case i need to recover my comptuer with recovery discs, that only the Windows partition will be reset? also i cannot craete anymore partitions, i was wondering if the SYSTEM partition or HP TOOLS partition is required for the computer to run Thanks!!! |

Regardless of what you decide doing. Buy an External HDD that will hold all data now and leave room for future.
Backup your data to that drive as often as possible. With only one drive, you WILL lose it all one day. You can create a second partition. You can do Shrink and Resizing. but if possible, it is best to backup all your data and start from scratch, and create the number and size of partitions you want from the start. You can use any partitioning tool, but you don't need them if you start from scratch, and 7 has a Shrink Partition function if you want to go that route. I personally don't recommend any Shrink/resizing apps. This can be debated to death. Yes, they work, but they can also cause problems. If you back up your data, then I say use them,, it can save you time in the long run, but if you do not have a backup, you can and most likely will lose it all if something goes wrong or you make a mistake.. You will want (depending on the amount of software, games, etc) a good size OS Partition. Personally I wouldn't make an OS Partition smaller than 100G. You will regret having too small a partition later. You also do need to leave free space for defrag and other apps they may need the free space temporarily. There is a lot more to partitioning drives properly, than just grabbing a drive and chopping it up. You do need to plan how you are going to be using the drive and how much of it you really will need now and in the future. Or trust me, you will doing it all over again. Generally,, 100G to 150G should be enough. Many will argue to death about this, but, I say choose at your own peril. Drive space is cheap, why limit yourself. Yes, you can recover only the C: Drive (a.k.a. OS Drive) and not touch the D: Drive (a.k.a. Data Drive) Again, if you don't have an off line backup (a.k.a. files also stored on an external hard drive [a.k.a. External HDD]), be prepared, that if you do make a mistake that you can lose all your data, and also that if the drive goes bad, so does the data on both partitions. |

With all that said.....
With drives so cheap now. There is almost no reason to multi-partition a drive anymore. You should do 2 things,.,.. If money is an issue, leave it as is right now and get an Internal Drive when you can. You have roughly a 500G now, get a 1TB or more and install that as the second drive If the 500 goes out, then you wont lose all your data,, just replace it and reload the OS. If the other drive does,, well,, see first post about data backups. Then get an External HDD of the same size or larger and backup your data regularly. There are 2 groups of people....... Those who have lost data, and those who will lose data, there is no inbetween. |

haha thanks for your answer!
no one gets away with data loss i see.. btw sorry i forgot to mention that this happens to be a laptop. does that make any difference for internal drives? but i guess an external drive is a great and smart option in the long run.! Thanks for your input! great reference to come back here |
My System Specs |
06 Feb 2010 | #5 |
one more question, should the recovery drive partition be any larger than how much it takes up??
eg, if it took up 40gb, and i left the partition at 44 gb it's safe right?? cause i sent my laptop to some man to add some software and he extended the partition by aabout 10 gb... |
My System Specs |
06 Feb 2010 | #6 |
All HDD's require some free space for different reasons...
One major reason is defrag. Defrag requires at minimum 15% to do a proper defrag. So you need 6G of free space for defrag alone on a 40G HDD. |

Bernzomatic Surefire Propane Torch
I have had this propane torch for a couple of years and it has worked great. All of a sudden the automatic lighter does not work. Is it repairable? Not a ton of money (can get another torch head fro $35), but if there is a quick fix, I'd rather not spend the $35.

I'm thinking of brewing up a strong, dark wheat ale this winter. I want a lot of maltiness, so I was going to go big on the Munich malt. I am having trouble, however, finding out the diastatic power of the base malts I intend to use and their suitability for full starch conversion in my planned grist. Basically, I'm unsure whether I can use 100% Munich malt along with wheat malt for the base and still convert all the starches in my mash, or whether I need some Pilsner malt in there: 46.67% Weyermann Munich II (9 SRM) 46.67% Weyermann Wheat Malt Dark (6.5 SRM) 3.33% Weyermann Carafa Special II (432 SRM) 3.33% Dingeman's Special B (150 SRM) I'm doing a single-step infusion mash, 151F for 60 minutes. I have read that Munich malt has enough diastatic power to convert itself, but does it have enough surplus diastatic power to convert other grains, such as my specialty malts? Same with the wheat malt. I also know that darker kilning reduces the diastatic power of a malt, but I cannot find any information on how much less diastatic power my dark wheat malt has compared to pale wheat malt. Weyermann's dark wheat malt is 6.5 SRM, their pale wheat malt is 2 SRM.
Conversion will be fine. Personally I would start my recipe with 60% Wheat and then work out the remaining malts. I would do something like: 60% Wheat 32% Munich 3% CS II 5% Spec. B

HPV three letters to remember in medical alphabet soupJan. 30, 2014 |
By Rebecca B. Perkins, M.D., M.Sc.
firstname.lastname@example.com The medical world is awash in alphabet soup, made more familiar by news reporting and the many direct-to-consumer television commercials we see every day. From AFIB (atrial fibrillation) to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) to PAD (peripheral artery disease), to RA (rheumatoid arthritis), it seems almost every condition or test (EKG, MRI) gets whittled down to just a few letters, with the hope of raising awareness and speeding communication between physician and patient. Let me offer three more letters young boys and girls, and parents especially, should remember: HPV. It stands for human papillomavirus, and it's the most common sexually transmitted infection. With the exceptions of flu and pneumonia, HPV hurts and kills more Americans each year than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. HPV can lead to genital warts and certain cancers, including cervical cancers and head and neck cancers. Each year: • 12,000 women in the U.S. get cervical cancer, and 4,000 die from their disease. • 11,000 men and women get cancer of the head and neck. HPV leads to 75 percent of these cancers. No screening test exists, and treatment for the condition causes permanent disfigurement and disability. • 5,000 men and women get anal cancer, with two-thirds of them occurring in women. Routine screening is not available for this type of cancer. The good news is that many of those numbers – including up to 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and 90 percent of genital warts – can be prevented with an HPV vaccine that avoids infection from four different types of the virus. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that every boy and girl aged 11 to 12 years of age get the vaccine, with vaccination permitted as young as 9 and catchup shots recommended through age 26 for girls and age 21 for boys. The not-so-good news is that barely more than half of girls (53.8 percent) and just over 20 percent of boys have been vaccinated, and only two-thirds of the girls who did get vaccinated received the recommended three doses. Further, not one state in the nation met the HPV vaccination target of 80 percent set for girls by National Healthy People 2020, a project of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The vaccine is safe and effective. More than 30,000 patients were vaccinated during clinical trials, and more than 100 million doses have been distributed worldwide to date. The two largest studies, which include 200,000 girls in the U.S. and one million girls in Denmark and Sweden, found no increase in any of 200 categories of illness. The vaccine has also proven to be highly effective. In Australia, 80 percent of girls have received three doses of the vaccine, and the incidence of genital warts has nearly disappeared among young women, and rates of cervical pre-cancer have declined up to 80 percent. In the U.S., rates of HPV infection have decreased by 56 percent in teens, and rates of cervical pre-cancers have decreased in women under age 24. For parents asking why such a vaccination should be given at 11 or 12 years of age, the answer is that it produces a better immune response in adolescents under age 14. Also, HPV can be passed by any skin-to-skin contact, not just by sexual intercourse, and vaccines work only if they're given before exposure (pre-teens are less likely than older teens to have started sexual experimentation or activity). Physicians never wait until a child is at risk to give recommended vaccines, because that's not how vaccines are designed to work. That's why it's important to start the shots at an early age and finish the recommended dosage of three shots within six months. For those concerned that such a vaccine will promote unsafe sexual behavior, one study of teens showed no difference in sexual behavior, and a different study looking at high-risk teens actually found increased rates of safe sexual practices among vaccinated girls compared to those unvaccinated. Imagine how many cases of cancer could be prevented if all those who are recommended to get the HPV vaccine would actually get vaccinated. Vaccines are some of the greatest achievements in medicine, have an extraordinary record in preventing disease, and are one of the most potent weapons we have for personal and public health. Let's use them to our ultimate benefit. While January has been declared Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, HPV awareness should be all year round.

Report could be 'smoking gun' on Syria
Comment on this storyLondon -
Three former international prosecutors have accused Syria of large-scale killing and torture in a report - based on evidence of a defector - commissioned by Qatar, which backs Syrian rebels, the Guardian and CNN reported on Monday.
The report, which can be found online at both news outlets, relies on the unauthenticated testimony and photographs given by the source, who remains unidentified for security purposes.
The release came a day before talks were due to be held in Geneva aimed at negotiating an end to Syria's bloody civil war.
The informant, a photographer who claims to have defected from the Syrian military police, presented forensic experts commissioned by the London legal firm representing Qatar with around 55 000 digital images of 11 000 dead detainees.
He claims they died in captivity before being taken to a military hospital to be photographed.
"Overall there was evidence that a significant number of the deceased were emaciated and a significant minority had been bound and/or beaten with rod-like objects," said the report.
Some had no eyes while others showed signs of strangulation or electrocution, according to the 31-page document.
The report was written by Desmond de Silva, former chief prosecutor of the special court for Sierra Leone; Geoffrey Nice, the former lead prosecutor in the trial of former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic; and David Crane, who indicted Liberian president Charles Taylor.
De Silva told the Guardian that the evidence provided the "smoking gun" proving that the regime of Bashar al-Assad had carried out "industrial-scale killing".
Crane called the evidence "amazing" and suggested there was a strong case for prosecution.
"Now we have direct evidence of what was happening to people who had disappeared," he explained.
"This is the first provable, direct evidence of what has happened to at least 11 000 human beings who have been tortured and executed and apparently disposed of."
The authors said they found the informant and his evidence to be credible after subjecting them to "rigorous scrutiny" and have made their findings available to the United Nations, governments and human rights groups.
Sunni Qatar was quick to back rebels who rose up in 2011 against the rule of Assad, who is backed by Shi'a powerhouse Iran. - Sapa-AFP

This happens everyday for a week straight, and the bartender turns into a nervous wreck. He asks his wife for advice, and she tells him he should stand up for himself. Easier said than done, he thinks, but he decides to try it. The next day, the hooligan returns."Give me a Budweiser, or...!" "O-o-o-o-r-r-r w-what?" stammers the bartender."A small Coke."
