'Bindhaas' Kannada film starring Puneeth Rajakumar and Hansika Motwani in the lead for producer K.S.Chandrasekhar's ambitious film and director D.Rajendra's Babu's 50th film music by Gurukiran deserved to be better.
The drum beatings and sounds eat the lyrics that has become almost as usual in Gurukiran film music. There are five tunes in this album brought to the market by Anand Audio with two additional films Kannada songs of 'Naanu Neenu Jodi' and 'Mungaru Male' in the CD. The price of CD is fixed at Rs.50.
This song a duet well sung by the singers is an appreciation of each other on the contents of love. Without closing my eyes I will wait for you the heroine say while the hero says who brought so much of aspects in love. I have written thousands of letters but unable to express my love - that is the height of sacredness of it says the hero.
This is going to be a hit song of the album because it is sung very casually and contents of lyrics are very apt to everyone. Do not think about tomorrow enjoy the life of today is the philosophy of this song.
Kallu Maama..sung by Sonu Kakkar and Gurukiran for the lyrics of Nagendraprasad..
This one appears to be an item song is usual run of the mill film song sung in seductive voice. This is a fast number.
This is very pretty interesting song the melody is found in female voice and the male voice is super fast in rendering. A song on friendship is the second best of the album. The rhyme in lyrics is very good.
This is a very peppy song of a lover who has fallen in love with a girl. The shower of appreciation he makes to fall in love is not a new concept.

Q: How to set foreign key constraint with discriminant in ASP.net EFCodeFirst? I have the following C# code for EFCodeFirst database creation:
enum MemberOfGroupDiscriminator { MemberOfGroup, GroupMemberOfGroup, UserMemberOfGroup }
public class MemberOfGroup
{
    public int Member_ID { get; set; }
    public int Group_ID { get; set; }
}

public class GroupMemberOfGroup : MemberOfGroup { }
public class UserMemberOfGroup : MemberOfGroup { }

public class User : WSSCSDevModel, IUser
{
    public int LoginCount { get; set; }
    public DateTime LastLogin { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<MemberOfGroup> Memberships { get; set; }
}

public class Group : WSSCSDevModel,  IGroup
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

And this in the the fluent API to create the database:
        ModelBuilder.Entity<MemberOfGroup>()
            .HasKey(k => new { k.Member_ID, k.Group_ID })
            .Map<MemberOfGroup>(m => m.Requires("OfGroupType")
                .HasValue((byte)MemberOfGroupDiscriminator.MemberOfGroup))
            .Map<UserMemberOfGroup>(m => m.Requires("OfGroupType")
                .HasValue((byte)MemberOfGroupDiscriminator.UserMemberOfGroup))
            .Map<UserMemberOfGroup>(m => m.Properties(p => p.Member_ID = UserAddition.))
            .Map<GroupMemberOfGroup>(m => m.Requires("OfGroupType")
                .HasValue((byte)MemberOfGroupDiscriminator.GroupMemberOfGroup))
            .ToTable("MemberOfGroup");

My idea here is to allow User and Groups to be able to form Groups.  So GroupB could be GroupA plus 1 other person.  My question is this, how can I force the framework to check that Member_ID is a key of User when the discriminant says to do so, as well as with Group.
BTW, the User and Group entities have int ID {get; set; } declared in their parent class.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Revisiting this, and I'm having issues now adding members to the group.  Here's my code:
public class WSSCSDevDbContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Group> Groups { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder ModelBuilder)
    {
        ModelBuilder.Entity<User>().ToTable("Users");
        ModelBuilder.Entity<Group>().ToTable("Groups");

        ModelBuilder.Entity<MemberOfGroup>()
            .HasKey(m => m.ID)
            .Map<GroupMemberOfGroup>(g => g.Requires("OfType")
                .HasValue((byte)MemberOfGroupDiscriminator.GroupMemberOfGroup))
            .Map<UserMemberOfGroup>(u => u.Requires("OfType")
                .HasValue((byte)MemberOfGroupDiscriminator.UserMemberOfGroup));

        ModelBuilder.Entity<User>()
            .HasMany(u => u.MemberOf)
            .WithRequired(m => m.MemberUser)
            .HasForeignKey(m => m.MemberUser_ID)
            .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

        ModelBuilder.Entity<Group>()
            .HasMany(g => g.MemberOf)
            .WithRequired(m => m.MemberGroup)
            .HasForeignKey(m => m.MemberGroup_ID)
            .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

        ModelBuilder.Entity<Group>()
            .HasMany(u => u.Members)
            .WithRequired(m => m.Group)
            .HasForeignKey(m => m.Group_ID);
    }
}

public class User : WSSCSDevModel, IUser
{
    public int LoginCount { get; set; }
    public DateTime LastLogin { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<UserMemberOfGroup> MemberOf { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<MemberOfGroup> Memberships { get; set; }
}

public class Group : WSSCSDevModel,  IGroup
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<GroupMemberOfGroup> MemberOf { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<MemberOfGroup> Members { get; set; }
}

public class MemberOfGroup
{
    public int? Group_ID { get; set; }
    virtual public Group Group { get; set; }
}

public class GroupMemberOfGroup : MemberOfGroup
{
    public int? MemberGroup_ID { get; set; }
    virtual public Group MemberGroup { get; set; }
}

public class UserMemberOfGroup : MemberOfGroup
{
    public int? MemberUser_ID { get; set; }
    virtual public User MemberUser { get; set; }
}

Again, the Group and User parent classes define int ID {get;set;}
Here's code in my controller to Add Users to Groups:
        if(model.MemberOf_IDs != null)
        {
            Repository<User> UserRepo = new Repository<User>();
            User ToEdit = UserRepo.GetById(model.User_ID);
            foreach (UserMemberOfGroup Membership in ToEdit.MemberOf)
            {
                Membership.Group.Members.Remove(Membership);
            }
            ToEdit.MemberOf = new List<UserMemberOfGroup>();
            Repository<Group> GroupRepo = new Repository<Group>();
            string[] Delims = new string[1];
            Delims[0] = ";";
            List<int> IDs = model.MemberOf_IDs.Split(Delims,
                StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(id => Convert.ToInt32(id)).ToList();
            foreach(int ID in IDs)
            {
                Group ToAddTo = GroupRepo.GetById(ID);
                ToEdit.MemberOf.Add(ToAddTo.AddMember(ToEdit));
            }

            GroupRepo.Save();
        }

I know that's not even close to the best way to do it, but it illustrates my problem.  BTW, the Repository<> classes share the the DBContext.  So essentially, .Save on one is .Save on them all.  This works properly.
This code takes a semi-colon delimited string of Group IDs, and adds the User to them.  However, I get this exception:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in     System.Data.dll

Additional information: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Group_ID', table 'CSProSuiteIndia.dbo.MemberOfGroups'; column does not allow nulls. UPDATE fails.
The statement has been terminated.

I don't understand WHY it wants to change Group_ID to NULL.  I declared Group_ID as int?, so it should be nullable, I would think.  What's happening here?

A: What you want is dynamically switching foreign key reference between users and groups. Can you do that in database on single column? You can't and so you can't do it in ORM as well.
If you want to enforce integrity you must move Member_ID from parent to childs and map separate relations for it. It will create two columns in db and each will have its own FK:
public abstract class Principal
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
}

public class User : Principal
{
    public string Login { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<UserMemberOfGroup> MemberOf { get; set; }
}

public class Group : Principal
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<GroupMemberOfGroup> MemberOf { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<MemberOfGroup> Members { get; set; }
}

public enum MemberOfGroupDiscriminator
{
    MemberOfGroup,
    GroupMemberOfGroup,
    UserMemberOfGroup
}

public abstract class MemberOfGroup
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int GroupId { get; set; }
    public Group Group { get; set; }
}

public class GroupMemberOfGroup : MemberOfGroup
{
    public int MemberGroupId { get; set; }
    public Group MemberGroup { get; set; }
}

public class UserMemberOfGroup : MemberOfGroup
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public User User { get; set; }
}

public class Context : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Principal> Principals { get; set; }
    public DbSet<MemberOfGroup> MembersOfGroups { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);

        modelBuilder.Entity<Principal>()
            .HasKey(p => p.Id)
            .Map<User>(u => u.Requires("Type").HasValue("U"))
            .Map<Group>(p => p.Requires("Type").HasValue("G"));

        modelBuilder.Entity<MemberOfGroup>()
            .HasKey(m => m.Id)
            .Map<GroupMemberOfGroup>(g => g.Requires("Type").HasValue("G"))
            .Map<UserMemberOfGroup>(u => u.Requires("Type").HasValue("U"));

        modelBuilder.Entity<User>()
            .HasMany(u => u.MemberOf)
            .WithRequired(m => m.User)
            .HasForeignKey(m => m.UserId)
            .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

        modelBuilder.Entity<Group>()
            .HasMany(u => u.MemberOf)
            .WithRequired(m => m.MemberGroup)
            .HasForeignKey(m => m.MemberGroupId)
            .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);

        modelBuilder.Entity<Group>()
            .HasMany(u => u.Members)
            .WithRequired(m => m.Group)
            .HasForeignKey(m => m.GroupId);
    }
}

Have you used the birth control device Mirena® and experienced serious health complications? Mirena® IUDs have received tens of thousands of complaints to the FDA due to adverse side effects and injuries. This small plastic birth control device has been available in the U.S. since 2000, but now the possible risks of using this method of birth control are becoming known as more victims come forward. If you have been injured due to using Mirena®, you may be eligible to receive compensation through a defective product lawsuit.
Mirena® is a plastic IUD that is inserted into the uterus and releases a synthetic form of progestin, levonorgestrel. The device is suggested for women who want a long-term form of birth control, as the results can last up to five years. Mirena® is meant to stay in the uterus until it is removed, but it has been known to become dislodged and migrate, causing serious health complications.
The most serious issues and injuries that have been caused by Mirena® may require surgery to remedy. The device can become imbedded in the uterus and need to be surgically removed. It also has the potential to move and migrate, causing scar tissue and possible damage to other organs, including organ perforation. Those who are pursuing lawsuits against the makers of Mirena® allege that the high risk of these complications was not revealed before they had the device inserted. The pain and injury caused by this birth control device vary, with some victims receiving irreversible damage due to the use of Mirena®. Mirena® has also been linked to PTC, a type of pseudotumor in the brain that can lead to vision and head pain problems.
If you have used Mirena® and needed to have it surgically removed or suffered painful side effects, contact our team at Moriarty Injury Lawyer today. Our legal team can discuss your case and the possibility of pursuing a lawsuit for compensation.


Dave Grohl Compares Lil Pump to the Germs, DRI and Minor Threat , Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has now spoken out in support of the "Gucci Gang" rapper, and his argument is hard to deny — Lil Pump is punk.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, Grohl said he's been pondering Pump's oeuvre for a while.
"Pat Smear and I had this conversation as we both became huge fans of Lil Pump, because imagine playing a Germs record for your father who was a classically trained musician," he said. "What do you think he would think?"
Grohl continued: "When I was a kid listening to punk rock, all I wanted was noise and rebellion, whether it was satanic death metal or industrial noise. If anybody dug into my record collection then, it's like, 'This is noise!' I love a good trap beat and a nice 808. And one of the things I love the most about 'Gucci Gang' is it's two minutes long. It's like a DRI song or a Minor Threat song. Look, I'm not going out and getting face tattoos anytime soon, but if [Lil Pump's] 'D Rose' comes on, I am down."
Thank you for clearing this up, Dave.

Look again at the assessment criteria and you'll see that the descriptors for 'Quality of outcome' seem to cover a lot of ground. As mentioned previously, Expressing your Vision aims to explore the ideas behind the techniques, and 'communication of ideas' is one of the descriptors for this criterion.
What is a 'good idea'? Probably a good idea shouldn't be too obvious or derivative. Maybe, in the final analysis, you only need one good idea to sustain a whole career in photography (Project 3 is about one such idea). Whichever way you see it, the communication of ideas will become more and more central to your work as you progress through Levels 2 and 3 of the degree programme.
The editing process is probably at least 50% of the work of being a photographer, and what you find interesting in an image will evolve over your working life, so make a practice of keeping rather than deleting your outtakes.
You should annotate your contact sheets. As a minimum, indicate your 'selects', together with relevant shooting data and brief observations. This will add significant value to a contact sheet.
The assignment for Part Three is a print assignment. This will give your tutor the opportunity to feedback to you on print quality in plenty of time before assessment.

After Christmas and New Years there's something to look forward to next month -- Dior fans will be pleased to know the Parisien boutique will be reopening its doors on Peking Road in late January.
And to mark the event, Dior has released a limited edition -- like seriously limited -- jewellery pieces called Rose Dior Pre Catalan.
Designer extraordinaire Victoire de Castellane has recreated these special items featuring Dior's favourite flower, the rose.
In a deep burgundy colour, the rose-shaped rings and pendants are made using ornamental ruby, diamonds and pink gold.
There are only 10 pieces of the small ring ($50,000), five of the ring with two roses ($160,000), and five of the pendant ($44,000). So that's what I mean by seriously limited edition.
Will de Castellane show up at the store's reopening? That would be tres cool. She's got a really funky sense of fashion, creating huge and colourful jewellery pieces that are definitely eye-catching. Her love of jewellery goes back to when she was a child playing with her grandmother's jewellery when she thought everything looked so big. But maybe her grandma's rocks really were big with her aristocratic background.
In the meantime, if you so desire, snap up one of these limited edition pieces for your bling collection.
Omg, that looks sooo pretty:D Too bad, i cant afford it! lol but i wud love it too if any fellow bloggers takes a snap of it!

Salton Buttes facts for kids
Salton Buttes
Niland Field
Location in California
−40 m (−130 ft)
The Salton Buttes are a group of volcanoes in California, on the Salton Sea. They consist of a 7-kilometer (4.3 mi)-long row of five lava domes, named Mullet Island, North Red Hill, Obsidian Butte, Rock Hill and South Red Hill. They are closely associated with a fumarolic field and a geothermal field, and there is evidence of buried volcanoes underground. In pre-modern times Obsidian Butte was an important regional source of obsidian.
The Salton Buttes lie within the Salton Trough, a tectonic depression formed by the San Andreas Fault and the San Jacinto Faults. The depression forms the northward extension of the Gulf of California, and is separated from it by the Colorado River Delta. A number of geothermal and volcanic features are located in the area, which is a region of active seafloor spreading.
While the Salton Buttes were formerly considered to be of the late Pleistocene epoch (which ended with the end of the last glacial maximum), newer dating efforts have determined that all of them formed more recently, during the current Holocene epoch, mostly through effusive eruptions. Future eruptions are possible and could endanger the surroundings.
Geomorphology and geography
Eruption history
Sequence of eruptive activity
The Salton Buttes lie on the southeastern shores of the Salton Sea, with their peaks at an elevation of −40 m (−130 ft), in Imperial County, California. The towns of Niland and Calipatria lie northeast and southeast of the Salton Buttes, respectively, and Palm Springs is 140 kilometers (90 mi) northwest. The Alamo River enters the Salton Sea between the Salton Buttes. The name "Niland Field" has also been applied to the system.
The Salton Buttes are five lava domes that rise 30–40 m (98–131 ft) above the surrounding terrain. Each peak is no wider than 1 km (0.62 mi), but together they form a chain 7 km (4.3 mi) long. From north to south, they are named Mullet Island (33°13′32″N 115°36′30″W / 33.22556°N 115.60833°W / 33.22556; -115.60833 (Mullet Island)), North Red Hill (33°12′0″N 115°36′43″W / 33.20000°N 115.61194°W / 33.20000; -115.61194 (North Red Hill)), South Red Hill (33°11′46″N 115°36′42″W / 33.19611°N 115.61167°W / 33.19611; -115.61167 (South Red Hill)), Rock Hill (33°11′1″N 115°37′24″W / 33.18361°N 115.62333°W / 33.18361; -115.62333 (Rock Hill)) and Obsidian Butte (33°10′17″N 115°38′16″W / 33.17139°N 115.63778°W / 33.17139; -115.63778 (Obsidian Butte)).
Of the buttes, the Red Hills and Obsidian Butte are the largest. The Red Hills are a paired volcano, connected through pyroclastic deposits. The Red Hills are also known collectively as Red Island; Red Island and Mullet Island were both islands in 2005. As of 2018[update], Mullet Island is a peninsula. The other domes have also been also islands at times, and waves have cut erosional terraces along the former shorelines.
The Salton Buttes are lava domes. They formed from viscous lava rising in a volcanic vent 250 m (820 ft) wide Obsidian Butte is surrounded by a lava flow, and Mullet Island has a characteristic "onion-skin" foliation. On Red Hill, there is a quarry, a marina, and a trailer park, and Obsidian Butte has been extensively quarried, to the point that it has lost most of its original appearance. There are hot springs and mofettes on Mullet Island.
A fumarole field is associated with the Salton Buttes. The field is characterized by gryphons and salses. These exhale carbon dioxide and steam, as well as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Some of these fumarolic vents reach heights of 2 m (6.6 ft), and resemble the lava-erupting vents. Mud pots are also found. Parts of the field have recently emerged from the Salton Sea, due to dropping water levels, which have also caused the fumarolic vents to develop and grow noticeably, including an increased number of gryphons.
There is a geothermal field associated with the Salton Buttes. It is one of the largest and warmest on Earth, with temperatures of 360 °C (680 °F) at 1.5–2.5 km (0.93–1.55 mi) depth. Various volcanic rocks have been found in drill cores at the Salton Buttes. Rocks found include andesite, basalt, dacite, diabase, gabbro and rhyolite. Some of these volcanic rocks bear traces of hydrothermal alteration. In some places the layers of volcanic rocks are as thick as 100 m (330 ft). There may be other volcanoes buried in the sediment pile; at least four separate aeromagnetic anomalies have been found at the Salton Buttes, and these may be signs of buried volcanoes. The field has been prospected for geothermal power generation, and presently ten geothermal power plants produce 327 megawatt of power.

Since the Pliocene, the Salton Trough and the Gulf of California have formed an active rift zone south of the San Andreas Fault. In a rift zone, seafloor spreading is underway, accompanied by volcanic and geothermal activity, active faulting and rapid sedimentation.
Since five million years ago, the buildup of sediments in the Colorado River Delta separated the Salton Trough area from the actual Gulf of California, forming a large depression that currently reaches a depth of 40 m (130 ft) below sea level. This depression is a pull-apart basin. It has formed between various branches of the San Andreas Fault and the San Jacinto Fault (which are connected by the Brawley Seismic Zone) The Salton Trough is still actively subsiding at rates of 3 mm/a (0.12 in/year), increasing to 4–8 mm/a (0.16–0.31 in/year) in the central area of the Trough.
A number of Quaternary volcanic centres have formed in the region, including Cerro Prieto, Consag Rock, Isla San Luis, Isla Tortuga, the Salton Buttes and Sierra Pinacate which is the largest of these volcanoes. Strong geothermal activity has been observed as well, with the Salton Trough alone hosting five geothermal fields (Brawley-Mesquite, Cerro Prieto, East Mesa, Heber and Salton Sea). These five fields have total heat output of 1,000–10,000 MW (1,300,000–13,400,000 hp). Part of this heat output is used to generate geothermal power, with annual production of 1–3 TWh/a (110–340 MW).
A geothermal well at Obsidian Butte
The Salton Buttes volcanoes were formed on Quaternary sediments of the Colorado River Delta. Below them, the basement is rock formed from sediments deposited in lakes and by rivers, such as mudstones, sandstones and siltstones. Below this 5 km (3.1 mi) thick upper layer, there are metamorphic greenschist rocks formed by hydrothermal alteration and thermal metamorphism of sediments, and finally, below that, gabbroic rocks, at 18–10 km (11.2–6.2 mi) depth. Diabase and intruded rhyolites have also been identified in the sediments.
All of the Salton Buttes, except for Mullet Island, have developed on a lineament, a linear feature with a conspicuous magnetic anomaly. The volcanoes seem to share a common feeder dyke. This dyke may be connected to deep-seated extensional processes along a transform fault that links the San Andreas Fault to the Gulf of California. The source of heat for the volcanoes and geothermal field is unclear: both deep mafic and shallow felsic sources have been proposed. Seismic tomography of the area below the Salton Buttes has identified areas in the mantle with an anomalously low seismic velocities, which would be consistent with higher temperatures there.
A xenolith on Red Island
The domes are formed by rhyolite, which has an alkaline and calcium-poor composition and defines a potassium-rich suite (see QAPF diagram). Scarce phenocrysts include amphibole, anorthoclase, apatite, clinopyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, orthopyroxene, quartz and zircon. The isotopic composition of these volcanic rocks differs from that of the Salton Trough sediments. The total volume of the domes is about 0.5 km3 (0.12 cu mi).
Obsidian from Obsidian Butte has been identified in distant archeological sites. It has been found in sites in the Colorado Desert, across San Diego County and across northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Before Obsidian Butte was emplaced and thus became available for obsidian production, people in the region used obsidian from the Coso volcanic field; this trend away from Coso towards Obsidian Butte was recognized even before the exact timing of the Obsidian Butte eruption was known.
The way in which the magmas are formed is controversial. Explanations have called on several different processes, including assimilation of hydrothermally altered rocks, fractional crystallization and partial melting. One model presumes the existence of a continuously active deep magmatic reservoir, which generates precursor magmas and episodically delivers them to a shallower magmatic reservoir, where the rhyolites are formed.
Xenoliths found in the volcanic rocks include granite, granophyre, metasediments and tholeiite, often heavily altered by interactions with the volcanic system. Some of these basalts resemble those from active rift zones in the Gulf of California and the East Pacific Rise. The northernmost segment of the East Pacific Rise appears to be identical to the Brawley Seismic Zone.
Most of the Buttes formed between 1,800 and 2,300 years ago, although Mullet Island may be 5,000 years older. According to the Global Volcanism Program, Mullet Island formed 290 BCE ± 100 years, Obsidian Butte 10 CE ± 100 years and the other Buttes 210 CE ± 100 years. If Mullet Island formed at the same time as the other Buttes, the eruption episode that formed the Salton Buttes lasted probably no more than 500 years. Presently, fumarolic activity occurs at the Buttes from cracks in the volcanic rocks of the Salton Buttes and seismic activity has been recorded from the geothermal field.
Obsidian, or volcanic glass, on Obsidian Butte. Obsidian quarried here was widely traded, and used to make stone tools.
Various ages have been inferred for the Salton Buttes with various dating techniques. Early potassium-argon dating at Obsidian Butte yielded an age of 55,000 – 16,000 years before present but this estimate was later supplanted by another age estimate of 33,000 ± 35,000 years ago. Other proposed ages were 33,000 ± 18,000 and less than 10,000 years ago, and archeomagnetic methods concluded that the Salton Buttes were not simultaneously active with Cerro Prieto or Crater Elegante in the Sierra Pinacate. Subsurface volcanic rocks at the Salton Buttes have been dated to 3.8 ± 0.4 million years ago, 960,000 ± 190,000 years ago and 479,000 – 420,000 years ago, but some of the granites formed much more recently and are among the youngest known granites on Earth.
Radiometric dating of zircons found in the volcanic rocks and xenoliths as well as other methods however indicated that volcanic activity was much more recent, latest Pleistocene-Holocene. This recent conclusion was also supported by the fact that the small domes are located in a high sedimentation rate setting and would have been buried if they were too old and that obsidian from Obsidian Butte is only found in archeological sites from the late Holocene. Obsidian hydration dating on the Salton Buttes yielded ages of 8,400 - 2,500 years ago, while thermoluminescence dating at Obsidian Butte has yielded an age of 3,300 ± 500 years ago, both implying recent ages. An even more recent age for Obsidian Butte is 490 BCE. The discovery of the exact age of Obsidian Butte is of archeological importance, as the presence of Obsidian Butte obsidians in an archeological site would imply that the site must post-date the eruption of Obsidian Butte. The emplacements of Obsidian Butte and Red Hill probably occurred within a short time — less than five centuries apart.
The domes were formed by effusive eruptions, but at least Obsidian Butte and South Red Hill also experienced explosive eruptions, which at Obsidian Butte preceded the effusive eruption stage. These explosive eruptions deposited pumice and tephra, which were encountered in drill cores in the area, and have also been quarried. Tuffs found farther south, at Cerro Prieto, have been linked to the Salton Buttes, but the large distance makes such a link questionable.
After their emplacement, the Salton Buttes were at times submerged in Lake Cahuilla, causing the formation of wave cut terraces and rendering the obsidian of Obsidian Butte inaccessible. However, only South Red Hill appears to have erupted underwater. Pumice rafts formed on the lake and are now preserved on its former shorelines. Wind-borne and lacustrine sediments were also emplaced on the domes.
Monitoring devices on Obsidian Butte
The discovery of Holocene eruptions of the Salton Buttes have drawn attention to the volcanic hazards posed by the field. The Salton Buttes are monitored by the California Volcano Observatory for possible future volcanic activity. Geophysical evidence shows that liquid magma is still present underneath the Salton Buttes. Since the volcanoes have erupted in the past, there is present-day unrest, and there are areas of high population density nearby (about 2,518 people lived in the area in 2010), the Salton Buttes are considered high-hazard volcanoes. Future eruptions may generate pyroclastic flows and pyroclastic surges, which could endanger people within ten kilometers (6.2 mi) of the vents. The field is monitored with seismometers and periodic sampling of gas exhalations and hot springs; there is a volcano hazard map, but it is incomplete.

October 7, 2010	General Ag News and Notes Post a Comment
Wet winter in isles' forecast
Unpredictable weather will be the norm in the islands over the next few months as the worst drought in the country gives way to an unusually wet winter beginning in January, weather officials predicted yesterday.
The sudden transition from drought to heavy rains could unleash flash flooding and even lightning strikes that might once again knock out island-wide power grids, said Kevin Kodama, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service.
Kodama and Jim Weyman, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Central Pacific Hurricane Center, hesitated yesterday to commit to what might happen because of this year's La Nina conditions, which drop ocean surface temperatures by 2 to 3 degrees along the equatorial Pacific and make forecasts difficult.
"Unlike an El Nino, with a La Nina you have a lot more uncertainty involved," Kodama said.
He even hesitated to predict how long La Nina conditions might last.
La Nina, or "the little girl" in Spanish, is the opposite of El Nino, manifested by warmer-than-usual tropical ocean conditions that typically generate spectacular North Shore winter waves.
In May, Weyman forecast that the Central Pacific would see only four to five tropical cyclones, which is considered "below-normal activity" during the hurricane season, which runs through Nov. 30.
Instead, tropical cyclones have yet to appear.
"Yes, it's been a quiet season," Weyman said.
The unpredictable, upcoming winter has state Civil Defense officials worried that dried out areas will suddenly become deluged by flash floods and even landslides.
"We get a little anxious when we have long dry spells and now, here comes the rain," said Ed Teixeira, state Civil Defense vice director. "We have seen dry spells followed by horrendous events, such as the Sacred Falls rockslide that resulted in fatalities. … In 2000, we had the Waimea rock slide that followed record rainfall."
Hawaiian Electric Co. spokesman Darren Pai said HECO customers should always be prepared for the possibility of power outages in stormy weather.
Oahu's 2008 island-wide outage "was due to a very rare set of conditions," Pai said.
However, he urged everyone to have an emergency kit at home.
"Whether it's high winds or other conditions, it's always a good idea for people to be prepared to be without power whenever there's a storm approaching," he said.
Parts of the Big Island and Maui County continue to suffer through the worst drought in the nation, Kodama said.
But a sudden onslaught of rain won't be welcomed by farmers and ranchers, said Janelle Saneishi, spokeswoman for the state Department of Agriculture.
"Too little rain is not good and too much rain is not good, not all at once," Saneishi said. "Especially coming off of a period of drought. Heavy, heavy rains would be a major problem."
And La Nina won't help surfers hoping for a spectacular big wave season.
"La Nina is usually not a good thing," said Kaz Sano, who operates a surf website for children, novusswell.com. "When the water temperature gets colder, you just don't get good swells."
Rick Grigg, a North Shore surf legend and oceanography professor at the University of Hawaii, said El Nino winters typically bring big, glassy surf.
"The water's smooth in El Nino years," Grigg said. "It's really clean and sweet for surfing. With a La Nina, you get more wind, it's choppier and colder."
With 25 to 30 swells each winter, however, Grigg said, "You're still going to get some 25-foot waves, easy. The surfers will have plenty to keep them busy. But I would say this year will be below average, probably not the greatest year."
Jodi Wilmott pays attention to El Nino and La Nina years as the spokeswoman for The Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau and Vans Triple Crown of Surfing tournaments.
She's hardly discouraged about the prospects for a good surf season this winter.
"For the La Nina years, you're looking at one or two extra large episodes as opposed to last year, when we had a dozen or more," Wilmott said. "But it only takes one and you have an Eddie Aikau Quiksilver event in a La Nina year."
Wilmott lives in Waialua and knows what La Nina winters mean for the North Shore of Oahu:
"Red dirt becomes a very popular color," she said. "When we hear La Nina, it's 'Oh, God, here comes another muddy winter.' But a bad day in Hawaii is still better than most days anywhere else."

Q: Removing a specific colored lines from a picture In the image shown below, there a two colored lines (blue and black), I want to know the process of removing either blue or black colored lines. I am new to image processing, is there any process using Matlab or Python for detecting and removing specific colored lines.

A: In MATLAB:
Not sure how much fidelity you need but this is a method of preserving only the blue uses rudimentary techniques including thresholding. Using a base blue colour defined in rgb-coordinates as rgb(0,0,255). By evaluating if a pixel does not have the colour content that is similar to our base blue colour. We can find the differences between each colour channel of our image and base blue colour then set the pixels to white if it does not fit the condition. White will be set by changing the pixel to rgb(255,255,255). In MATLAB layer 1 of the image is the red channel, layer 2 is the green channel and layer 3 is the blue channel. Below I use a set of for-loops to scan through the image. There are more concise ways of doing this but this way method seems to go through the fundamentals.

Nuclear weapons production and testing has involved extensive health and environmental damage .... One of the most remarkable features of this damage has been the readiness of governments to harm the very people that they claimed they were protecting by building these weapons for national security reasons. In general, this harm was inflicted on people in disregard of democratic norms. Secrecy, fabrication of data, cover-ups in the face of attempted public inquiry, and even human experiments without informed consent have all occurred in nuclear weapons production and testing programs.
Nuclear power as a solution to global warming is theoretically possible, but the proliferation problems and accident risks it would create would, I think, be intolerable because you have to build an immense number of nuclear power plants, one large plant a week around the world for the next 40 years, to make a significant dent in the global warming problem.

Do Babies' Ears Grow at Different Rates?
No, a child's ears follow the same growth pattern and rate for all children. Small deviations are normal because no child develops an identical pace.
A baby's ear size is primarily based on genetics, with environmental factors. But, this like exposure to loud noise or illness affecting the ear size very minimally if at all.
The only time when there may be an inconsistency in the rates of physical growth among babies is during infancy, but even then it will never have any noticeable effect on how his/her ears appear in adulthood because they grow so fast!
When your baby is born you can notice that your newborn might have differently shaped ears, as well as some other features. This is due to the position the baby was in while in the mother's womb.
At this stage, the baby has very fragile ear cartilage that will become much firmer when the child grows older.
Is it normal for babies to have different sized ears?
Not really. The shape of the baby's ear might be different, but the size should be pretty much the same.
If the difference in size is a lot, it may be caused by a condition called microtia. Microtia can also cause an absent ear canal and sometimes only one of the baby's ears will develop properly. In these cases, hearing loss may be present.
Treatments for microtia include reconstructive surgery to create an ear from other body tissues, correction with a hearing aid or cochlear implant, and/or speech therapy.
Microtia can be caused by exposure to certain toxic chemicals, radiation to the mother's abdomen during pregnancy, or rarely from inheritance.
Treatment for microtia typically involves reconstructive surgery at about 6 months of age followed by asymmetric ear reconstruction at 2 years of age. Hearing aids are also sometimes needed in cases like these.
Do babies' ears change as they grow?
Right to the question, do babies' ears grow at different rates? Do babies' ears change as they grow, is also s a very popular question. And the answer is yes, babies' ears change along with their age.
When a few weeks have passed, after the baby is born, the hormone known as maternal estrogen remains in the infant's body. This hormone is the reason why the baby's ear cartilage is still so soft.
Thus it allows the ear to be reshaped in the further months and years to come. This means that the baby's ear will defensively change and grow as the baby gets older.
In conclusion, as babies grow, their ears change too. They are less likely to have ear infections since the fluid inside their ears drains better.
These changes may help prevent frequent ear infections if children learn how to pull their outer ears back and upward when they cry, yawn or sneeze.
When a baby is born, their ears look pretty much like any other part of the body. But as babies start to move around, the cartilage begins to firm up and harden.
By six months old, infants can usually hold both their heads up unassisted and are moving about considerably. The bones that form the inner ear are also becoming harder at this time, which makes it possible for babies to begin turning their heads from side to side.
Why are my baby's ears so small?
If your baby has smaller ears that's okay. But if it's too much, then the baby might have a condition known as anotia or microtia.
When we translate it, microtia means a smaller ear. This is not such a usual case when it comes to newborns. Roughly 1:6000-12,000 babies have this condition and can affect both or even just one ear.
A child with anotia will have a small ear and a little bit of lower hearing ability in that ear because the inner part of the ear is not formed completely.
This condition occurs during fetal development when the outer ears are still developing into normal ones. The cause is unknown but there might be genetic factors involved as microtia runs in families.
What age do ears fully develop?
At the age of eight, the child should have fully developed ears. An ear is about 85% developed at the age of three because they usually grow at a rapid rate.
At birth, a baby's ear is not fully developed. The size of the pinna (the external part of the ear) is about 10% to 15% as big as it will be when the child turns eight.
The outer part of the ear starts out at 10 mm across and 24 mm long, but after eight birthdays it becomes 20 mm across and 30 mm long.
In infants under six months old, most parents do not even know if their child has normal-sized ears because they are small. At age three or four, most children have normal-sized external ears with adult-like shapes.
The fun fact is that ears never stop growing,! This means that ear cartilage continues to grow until the day we die.
It's not unusual for parents to ask, do babies' ears grow at different rates? But the answer is no. All babies have almost the same pattern when it comes to the pace of growing ears.
By the age of three babies should have 85% of fully developed ears, and by the age of eight, they will be exactly alike in their adulthood.
However, some parents might notice that their baby has smaller ears than usual. So, that's why parents ask, do babies' ears grow at different rates?
This is most likely because the baby has a microtia birth defect. This is a condition where the baby doesn't have an external ear, or it's extremely small.
Due to undeveloped ears, babies with microtia have problems with hearing and are in need of surgery later in life.

Olga Kisseleva created the project in collaboraton with researchers in chemistry and nano- science, the aim being to further the research into sustainable alternatves to the traditonal methods of producton and consumpton of petrol. It is widespread knowledge that there are only a few decades lef for humans to proft from this fossil resource which has become scarce. In a world for which black gold is the very fabric of its make-up, how should we envisage a post fossil- fuel life ?

It's been a fun adventure settling in here at the official home of Two Little Birds Press in Reynolda Village. I'll have an update soon of pictures, etc. I'm really loving my new space and after the craziness of the holidays, my little retreat is beginning to feel like home.
I've been busy at work printing and designing. The other day, I realized that Valentine's day is right around the corner and it's time to start planning a special Valentine from Two Little Birds Press.
To be honest, I have never been a fan of Valentine's day. I don't mean to be a curmudgeon, but it's one of those holidays that carry so many cheesy expectations. I guess I'm just not one of those hopeless romantics; HOWEVER, the one thing I always love on this particular holiday is a special card...a Valentine.
Forget chocolate and red roses (I prefer orange roses, anyway), all I want for Valentine's day is to give a beautiful card with my own words and receive the same from the person I love. I also love the fact that a Valentine can be sent to not just your special someone but to a family member or friend. It really is the perfect opportunity to tell someone you're thinking of them. Remember back in elementary school when everyone in your class got a Valentine from each student? What a perfect example of how a little gesture can mean so much. I guess I am a sap for a little "love" note on Valentine's day!
So last week I set out to make my first letterpress Valentine for Two Little Birds Press. The creative process was so fun and my ideas kept morphing as I went along. I was going to print a plain heart (that I carved from a linoleum block) and put a little lovey-dovey saying over it. But, as I got going with this idea, all I could think was: LAME. This is not who I am. The red heart was too cliché and it just needed something else. So I grabbed my trusty Sharpie and tools and turned the plain, ol' heart into a more detailed, Scandinavian type heart. I was over the red ink, so I printed this new heart in white on Kraft paper.
Then my husband told me I needed red, since, come on, it's Valentine's Day. I had it under control, pop this card in a ruby red envelope and voilà!
This Valentine is simple, to the point, and really for everyone. I'm so happy with it and I hope you like it too! Check it out in more detail here: www.etsy.com/shop/TwoLittleBirdsPress .
I have to add, that I also got a little carrie away with the whole "creative process" and started printing the heart with red ink on off-white paper. I didn't like this as a Valentine, per say, but wanted to use these prints for something else. and then this banner/garland was born.
So now I have Valentine's and Valentine's day decor available at Two Little Birds Press. I guess I am turning into that hopeless romantic after all.


My century mark has arrived. When I first started writing, I set out to prove to the world how smart I was. Plus, I needed an outlet. I am a fiction writer. I have a desire, an artistic need to create. I've always been this way, even before I sat down and began creating. My friends told me this. They said that there was a part of me that seemed so restless and angst ridden, until I began creating. I have a right brain that needs to be fed, but I also have a left side that finds science and math and politics and facts fascinating. In the beginning, I combined the two. I would have my main characters think about the politics of the day. I would have arguments among my characters. I wanted people to know that I was smart and creative, but I also had a need to prove to myself that I was.
Previous to discovering my outlets, my friends were required to hear everything that was on my mind, and I'm quite sure they got sick of it. I'm quite sure that they got sick of everything that my left and right brain had to spill. They were my outlets at that point though, and they stuck by me. Now that I have this site and my fiction, even if no one ever reads them, I have outlets now. I no longer feel the overwhelming need to lay my guts on the table for friends and family to know what I think about everything creative and factual. I'm quite sure that this has made me much more enjoyable to be around.
From the perspective of one who writes and creates and espouses political viewpoints, and from the perspective of one who has learned how to compartmentalize it all, I now watch movies and read books. I see these creative types ticking off their political views in movies and books. They're sneaky. I was sneaky. I found ways, before I learned to separate my fiction from my non-fiction, of telling my people that I was one of them. I also used a subtle hand when trying to coerce people to my way of thinking. It hurt my fiction. It bogged my fiction down. It bogs their fiction down, but they still do it, because they feel a need to convince their friends that they're one of them and that they're smart, and they feel a need to convince you that they're right. Friends of mine tell me that I see things that aren't there in movies. I ask them how they cannot see it. Friends of mine can't believe I see little political nuggets in every movie and story, and the thing I say is why do these creative types feel a need to put it in every movie? Maybe it's the storyteller in me, but I can lift up the rocks and find the little worms that are hiding in just about every movie, book and song.


BEIJING--A private measure of China's manufacturing sector slipped in December as factories continue to battle overcapacity and weak demand.
Caixin Media Co. said Monday its China manufacturing purchasing managers' was at 48.2 last month, down from 48.6 in November. This is the 10th straight month of a below-50 reading for the index. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction in manufacturing activity.
This follows the release late last week of the official purchasing managers index, which showed that factory output improved modestly but stayed below 50. Monday's report calls into question whether the government's easy monetary policy and stepped-up fiscal spending have been successful in stabilizing the economy, economists said.
"We haven't seen any material improvement in economic momentum," said BBVA Research economist Xia Le. "Small and medium-sized companies are under growing pressure. Toward the end of the year, some decided to close down because they're not making any money."
Following the release of the Caixin report, stocks in Shanghai fell more than 3%, while the smaller Shenzhen Composite dipped by more than 4%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell more than 2%.
Caixin, which compiles the monthly index with research firm Markit Economics, said operating conditions at Chinese factories continued to deteriorate in December, as evidenced by declines in subindexes tracking production, new orders and new export orders. Faced with these tougher conditions, manufacturers cut back more on staff and bought fewer components, reflecting reduced appetite for their products, it added.
The decline in December's index shows "the economy is facing a greater risk of weakening," said He Fan, chief economist at Caixin Insight Group, in a statement.
With investment and industrial output weakening, Beijing is placing its hopes on consumption, one of the economy's few bright spots. Retail spending rose 11.2% in November, up from 11.0% in October.
But consumption won't be enough to counter the downdraft of weakening exports, manufacturing and real-estate investment, said Mizuho Securities Asia economist Jianguang Shen. "I don't think we can call this a soft recovery yet--just that growth is decelerating at a slower pace," he said. "The problem is on transmission. Money is not flowing into the real economy."
The weak results also point to the impact of weak commodity prices--led by the decline in oil prices in December--and the ongoing struggle China faces in cutting overcapacity, economists said. "China is still trying to balance supply and demand," said Commerzbank economist Zhou Hao. "This is part of an ongoing and painful deleveraging process."


Do you know any of those humans who are really great at everything?
You know, they try their hand — make that feet — at soccer and excel. Then they use those feet to run track a few years later and qualify for junior high champs. All the while, they've been intermittently swimming and decide that THAT will be their sport of choice — and proceed to smash pool records in high school and college.
Oh, and they also become the valedictorian and win a bunch of art awards, to boot.
Oooh, then there's also that whole, "I can play music by ear. Maybe I'll write a few songs?" hidden talent.
But enough about my kid.
Rotten brilliant, athletic, adorable, artsy punk. How does he do that, anyway? Totally skips a generation, just sayin'.
Then there are the Bradley Coopers of the world who can act and produce and direct and (who even knew?) sing — and do it all, well, like a rock star, yo.
Did I mention he's not the most unfortunate-looking male on the third rock? Sa-woon, by the way. I digress.
But, yeah, they're all pretty annoying, no? Dumb over-achievers. Making the rest of us earthlings look like regular old cave dwellers.
And, yes, it's true that I can't sing like Lady Gaga or act like Julia Roberts. I can't play an instrument — unless the maracas count? Fine, have it your own way, meanies.
But, I got some game. Sure, it's not in an actual SPORT, per say.
I mean, I'm no baller. I can't play tennis very well. Or soccer. Or volleyball. Or softball. I completely STINK at golf — even the Putt-Putt kind — and can't sink a ball on a pool table to save my life.
I'm not so handy at scrapbooking, needlepoint, embroidery or quilting, either.
I can't make an origami. I'm not too fab at skipping stones. I've accidentally killed every plant I've ever owned. My sense of direction is legendary… because it's so abysmal.
I mean there ARE things for which PK's got a flair, all right?
Gimme a second, I'm thinking!
I'm not a bad cook. Homemade Italian bread, sauce, lasagna and wedding soup, those I've got down pretty well. Chicken scampi, homemade mac and cheese, breakfast casseroles extraordinaire? I'm your girl.
I've got a pretty high threshold for pain.
Ah, and I can certainly figure out a plot line early in a story. In fact, I've accidentally been a human spoiler alert on several occasions by blurting out who's gonna "done it" or who'll end up happy ever after… or dead. HINT: The other humans seem to thoroughly dislike when I do this.
I'm excellent at keeping secrets, emboldening confidences and seeing the good in the other humans. I'm stellar at finding solutions to problems great and small (except mine, of course) and cheering hearts. I'm not too shabby at the whole inspirational messaging thing.
I am patriotic, loyal and honest to a fault. I never waiver in my faith in God, family — or the power of a good cup of coffee.
And I just made you smile, so, I ain't so bad at that either, capisce?

LUBBOCK — Texas Tech scored three runs in the fifth inning and held off a late Kansas State rally in the ninth to win its first Big 12 series opener of the season, 4-3, on Friday evening in front of 2,709 fans at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.
The victory improves Texas Tech to 26-11 overall and to 6-7 in Big 12 play. Tech has matched its total number of wins from a year ago (26) while also equaling its home wins (19) from 2013. KSU (20-14, 2-5 Big 12) dropped to 5-10 on the road this season.
Junior left-handed pitcher Cameron Smith (5-0) earned the win in relief pitching five scoreless innings allowing just one base hit and a walk with five strikeouts.
KSU starting pitcher Levi MaVorhis (4-4) took the loss allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits with three strikeouts and a walk in 6 1/3 innings.
With Tech trailing 2-0, the Red Raiders started the fifth inning with three consecutive base hits, the third a bunt single by shortstop Tim Proudfoot that ended with a run scoring on a throwing error by MaVorhis.
Midland Christian grad Hunter Redman, (2-for-3) who singled to left in the fifth, then scored on Stephen Smith's grounder to shortstop Austin Fisher. Fisher bobbled the grounder and then threw wide at first base, allowing Smith to reach base and Proudfoot to score from second base on the second error of the play for a 3-2 advantage.
Tech added to its lead and scored the eventual game-winning run in the eighth when Adam Kirsch tapped a grounder back to KSU reliever Jake Matthys, who fielded and threw home but the throw was wild and pinch runner Zach Davis scored on the play to give Tech a 4-2 lead.
In the ninth Red Raider reliever Johnny Drozd allowed a run but earned his third save of the season when he got Max Brown to ground out to Jake Barrios at third to end the game.
The Red Raiders will look for their first Big 12 series win at home this season with game two of the series at 3 p.m. today at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.


It is conversations with Bob! My turn!
Thank you for your honesty and sincerity in your last post. We come to different conclusions and practices in our ministry. I of course welcome glbt folks as full members as does our church. We are glad that they serve in all capacities as well as anyone else. I don't see their relationship as sinful. It is not that I am in favor of sin, it is that we disagree on its definition and what qualifies as sin, I suppose. I do regard the Huck Finn analogy as more apropos than Gagnon's.
I really didn't know where you were precisely on that position, and maybe you didn't know where I was either. I thought it was a given that gay couples were welcomed as members in the PCUSA churches. I was being somewhat tongue in cheek when I wrote in 2001 about it. I thought most ministers who opposed ordination of gays still were in favor of membership for them. I can see that Moderator Joan Gray was correct in her evaluation that some churches do not accept gay couples as members (unless they stop being a gay couple). You might feel she is incorrect in calling non-acceptance heresy.
I can't say that I am not disheartened by your position. I was hoping we would be closer on that. Nevertheless, I do respect that you come to your position with a sincere heart and a desire to do the right thing. I hope you trust that I do as well. One of us (at least), I suspect is wrong, but we may not know that for a long time, if ever in our lifetimes.
My conversation with you makes me realize that I have to work even harder to do what I can to remove these policies in the PCUSA that put up barriers for service (and now, it seems, membership) to sexual and gender minorities. The threat to me is that these policies thwart my freedom to do ministry, and it appears that these policies will become more and more rigid. Perhaps you feel a threat from my side.
I really like you, but I know the rhetoric is going to get rougher and the fight tougher in our denomination. Since we are both outspoken, when we read what each other writes or when we meet at some governing body or whatever, we will be on opposite sides. I will say up front, don't take it personally, but I will have to fight for what I believe is right and you will need to do the same.
You said earlier that maybe we should move on from the sexuality issue. I now agree. I will give you the last word on that before we move on to another topic or take a rest, whatever you wish!
It seems this conversation has returned, and the naivete and innocence of not knowing is no longer there. Two places, very different places, mutually exclusive places have been described, by two competent spokesmen, with good humor and goodwill. But two different places, nonetheless. The spokesmen seem intractable in their positions. So, what now?
You guys are so nice! And I do mean that as a compliment to both of you. I find far too much lack of respect in the national conversation and the church conversation.
I loved the way you treated me and the rest of us when you were in my Presbytery and I love seeing the same approach here in cyberspace.

Sarah Palin Stumps in Iowa... Warns Of Obama "Nanny State"
Sarah Palin Stumps in Iowa… Warns Of Obama "Nanny State"
But, Governor Sarah Palin is campaigning in Iowa today –a state that 4 years ago went for Bush.
In 2000 Iowa went to Gore by an average of 2 votes per precinct.
In 2004 Iowa went to Bush by an average of 3 votes per precinct.
This morning Sarah Palin spoke to an overflow crowd in Sioux City. Supporters that did not fit into the West High gym were placed in adjacent rooms, according to the Sioux City Journal.
Palin said she appreciated the big attendance, especially since it was the first day of pheasant hunting season.
The Des Moines Register had a live feed from the rally that started today at 2:30 PM CST.
Yes, I was at today's Des Moines rally and it was AWESOME! There had to have been at least 8000 people there (judging from tickets given out) and right as the event was starting, there was still 3 blocks full of people outside waiting to get in. The best part is I was right up front and got to shake Sarah's hand and get her autograph and I told her we loved her and were praying for her and that they were going to win! She was fabulous and her daughters were so cute, especially when Piper asked us to please vote for her mommy! In '04, Bush won here and I really think McCain can win here too…lots of fired up people and many more people than usual coming out to volunteer. And Sarah is hugely popular here. I've heard from some people that internal polls here have McCain within margin of error. I'm sure praying!!


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged the value of Crime Stoppers Month to raise awareness and ensure ongoing public support for Crime Stoppers.
He said programs in Canada are responsible for clearing more than 260,000 cases and helping to recover more than $500 million worth of stolen property since the first program was established in Calgary in 1982.
On a worldwide basis accumulative statistics show anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers programs have solved more than 1.5 million cases and led to the arrest of almost one million individuals. Callers have also provided information which assisted police in recovering $2.1 billion in stolen property and seizing $8.9 billion in illegal drugs.
Last year tips to Halton Crime Stoppers led to the arrest of 36 individuals, the recovery of $40,630 in stolen property, and the seizure of illegal drugs with a street value of $87,600.
January will be officially recognized as Crime Stoppers Month during a special celebration on January 17th. The event, which runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., will be held at the Halton Police 20 Division, 95 Oak Walk Drive in Oakville. In addition to remarks from politicians and key police personnel, the chair of Halton Crime Stoppers, Doug Maybee will outline the program's main achievements from 2016 and detail plans for the next 12 months.
Proclamations from the various mayors across the region acknowledging January as Crime Stoppers Month will be unveiled along with a letter of recognition from Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr.
He also said the awards earned by CHCH-TV and Metroland community newspapers from Crime Stoppers International for coverage of Halton Crime Stoppers truly indicates the effort made by these media organizations to ensure Halton remains one of the safest regions in Canada.
