C# tutorial- Expressions and Operators
C# Expressions and Operators
The ability of a programming language to perform calculations or operations is perhaps the most important one. To do operations on values, operators are needed.
-Assignment operator (=)
Assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable;
int x;
int y;
Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic operations on variables.
int x;
-Compound assignation operator (+=, -=, *=, /=, %=, <<=, >>=, &=, |=, ^=)
Compound assignation operator is used to perform operations (+, -, *, /,…) on variables with assignment operation.
-Comparison Operators (==, >, <, >=, <=,!=)
Comparison operators are used to compare variables. They return a Boolean value (true or false).
-Increment and Decrement operators (++, --, ++, --)
These operators are used to make increment or decrement on a variable.
-Logical Operators (&&, ||, !)
Logical operators are used to evaluate two expressions and return one result.
Bitwise operators are used to modify bits that represent the values that they store.

Aliens In My Backyard
One night a bright light fell from the sky and landed near my back yard. I saw it myself. At first I hid under my bed. Then came out when nothing happened.
In the morning I told my mother about the light. She said, "That's nice, dear," and went on stirring the oatmeal.
After breakfast, I ran into the yard. There must be a crater or something, I thought. But everything was normal.
Then I walked down to the creek behind my house. And that is where I found it.
Sitting on the muddy creek bottom was a spaceship. It was nothing like the Space Shuttle, or the Apollo rockets. This spaceship was round and silver. It had windows around the middle, like a belt, and three landing gear stuck in the mud.
I have to admit, I ran home scared.
"Mom, come quick," I shouted. "A spaceship is stuck in the creek."
"You've been watching too many science fiction movies," she said. "Go outside and play."
I played in the back yard for the rest of the day and tried to forget about the spaceship. Maybe my mother was right. I did have an active imagination.
Then that night I saw it again.
Just before going to sleep, I looked out my bedroom window. The trees around the creek are pretty thick, so I could not really see anything, except, a pulsing red light. The spaceship was real.
The next day I walked back down to the creek for another look. There it was. The same as yesterday. Almost.
Now, a little man with three fingers on each hand walked around the spaceship. He was shaking his head and pointing a long finger at the landing gear stuck in the mud.
He looked angry.
I was about to run for help when the space traveller saw me.
"Come here, Earthling," the alien said, and pointed at me.
"Who, me?" I said.
"No, the man in the moon," the alien said.
Slowly I stumbled across the muddy creek bottom. There was a low hum coming from the spaceship. I think it was preparing to lift off.
"Don't be frightened," the alien said. "I need your help."
"How can I help you?" I stammered. I leaned against one of the stuck landing gear, acting as if talking with aliens was an everyday thing.
"Do you have a shovel I could borrow? It seems the engineers at my home planet did not make arrangements for getting stuck in earth mud."
I nodded my head. "Be right back."
I ran up the small hill to my house and raced into the garage.
"Hey, what's the hurry?" my father asked.
"There's a spaceship stuck in the creek. They need a shovel."
"Oh, alright," my father said. "Just be sure and bring my shovel back."
Parents are the greatest. The more sensational the story, the more they ignore you. Who would believe some kid jabbering about a spaceship in his backyard? I could barely believe it myself.
"I'm back," I shouted.
The space traveller grasped the shovel with one hand and tried to dig. I could tell he did not know what he was doing.
"Let me," I said.
Several minutes later the loose gravel and sticky clay was clear of the landing gear's pods. The alien smiled, then removed a gold colored medallion from his neck and slipped it over my head.
"Take this gift as a token of my people's appreciation. We had planned to destroy this planet. But I can see it is full of polite young people. This planet has a long and healthy future."
At least that's what I think he said. Anyway, he jumped in his ship and left me standing there, knee deep in the mud and late for lunch.
When I got home I showed the medallion to my mother and told her about the spaceship.
"That's nice, dear," she said. "Get washed up for lunch. You're late."
Let me be the first to say that I'm not the brightest kid on the block. But it finally hit me later that night.
I had just spent nearly an hour with an alien, who spoke perfect English, and I had not asked a single question about life, the universe, or how to get along with my sister.
I promise. The next time a spaceship lands in my backyard, I'm going to ask questions like: Do you have to take baths in space? What kind of vegetables do kids have to eat on your planet? and, Who's going to win the World Series next year?
I'd want answers to everything a kid needs to know to survive these days. And believe me, that's a lot of questions.

One of the most beautiful and pleasant traditions in Colombia for families with children is, without a doubt, the night of the candles in Villa de Leyva.
Ekaterina Nikolaeva
You are here:
Festival of the Lights in Villa de Leyva /Pic. diegotorquemada
In Colombia, the evening and night of December 7 to 9 is a unique moment in the year.
City streets become a blaze of light, with sidewalks, balconies, and terraces covered with lighted candles. This is the traditional Noche de las velitas; that is, night of the little candles.
What a way to start the December festivities!
For millenniums, fire has awakened in humans very special feelings associated with the meaning of life and truth.
One of the loveliest celebrations of the Noche de las velitas in Colombia takes place in Villa de Leyva, a picturesque village in the department of Boyacá, which becomes filled with tourists from all over the country who come to enjoy the show and the color of the fireworks contest that fills the colonial streets with a special kind of magic.
The festival is geared, above all, to families with children and is an excellent opportunity to feel the Colombian Christmas spirit through the variety of events in the program: a contest of lanterns, which are exhibited during the procession of the Immaculate Conception, concerts by Christmas choirs, and naturally, the fireworks shows presented by expert fireworks technicians.
The best technicians light various figures and participate in the contest obtaining scores for the following:
The most beautiful Night of the Candles celebrations in Colombia take place in Villa de Leyva, a picture-perfect town in Boyacá.
The Festival was created in 1986 for the purpose of attracting tourism and rescuing the traditions of the Day of the Immaculate Conception; celebrated by the Catholic Church with bonfires, candles and lanterns.
The widespread use of candles in Catholic Church began during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, at the time when America was being colonized by Spain, and the Spaniards began to celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception in the New World, where fire used in feasts had a folkloric, ludical, and festive meaning, rather than a religious and symbolic one.
The night of the little candles joined the traditional religious festivity imported to the American continent with the candles, fire, and festive meaning of the American people, thus giving Colombian warmth and light to the European December 8 celebration.

Written by Karen Gellender, email@example.com Friday, 18 January 2013 00:00
Josh Seiden's very first experiences with performing required a captive audience. From a very young age, Seiden, obsessed with circus acts, would recruit his brother to put on shows for his parents, whether they liked it or not.
"We'd literally run around the house, screaming, putting on shows, [and] we'd make them sit through them," remembered Seiden.
However, considering the fact that the lifelong Plainview resident's latest show was to a sold-out crowd at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 2, it's safe to say his act has come a long way.
The 2010 Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School graduate actually came to comedy relatively late; as a child, his passion was for magic tricks, juggling, puppet shows and all kinds of prop-based performing. He even became an accomplished unicyclist. Almost by chance, the young Seiden happened to live on the same block as Adam Cohen, who would go on to found the Plainview-based unicycle instruction company Just One Wheel.
"I would actually sit on my bed, look out the window and see this guy riding a giant unicycle up my block," said Seiden. While Seiden's mother turned down the boy's request for a unicycle multiple times, eventually he became Cohen's first unicycle student and incorporated that skill into his repertoire as well.
It wasn't until high school that Seiden realized his love for comedy in particular, thanks to the annual SING event at the high school. During his senior year at POBJFKHS, Seiden volunteered to be on the writing staff and realized he loved writing jokes and creating characters. Soon, he was asking his parents to allow him to take a stand-up comedy class at Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown. His parents weren't keen, but Seiden wasn't dissuaded.
"I kept asking them, and eventually I realized that I have my own car now, and a bank account," said Seiden, who took the initiative to sign up for the class himself. The class culminated with a solo stand up routine on the stage at Governor's, and the young performer was hooked.
Just like the fortunate coincidence that led to unicycling, another twist of fate helped keep Seiden on the performing path as he entered college. At Bentley University, the college freshman found himself sharing a dorm room with Matt Schick of Robbinsville, New Jersey. Schick is a talented magician. In a school filled with business majors, the two people who were bit by the performing bug at a young age just happened to end up in the same room.
"Everyone kind of jokes on campus how the two of us found each other," related Seiden. "The fact that the juggler/stand-up comedian/unicyclist is rooming with the magician always gets a laugh."
At Bentley, the budding comedian had the opportunity to open for professional comedians on the college tour circuit, including Donald Glover. He also began to perform at local clubs, leading to a nomination for Best Male Comedian in New England of 2012 from the Boston Examiner.
Though Seiden is very comfortable in front of a crowd at this point, he still gets nervous from time to time; however, the comedian takes a practical view of the notorious pre-show jitters. "I think it's good to use your nerves to your benefit...I guess if you weren't nervous, you'd be too confident in yourself."
Seiden's ability to manage his nerves was tested in the Planet Hollywood show, where he opened for comedy magician (and America's Got Talent finalist) Nathan Burton. In addition to the huge Vegas stage, there was another challenge: writing all new material. Seiden, who often uses college-oriented humor and the occasional risqué joke, had to write a completely new set of material for the family-friendly show. He was concerned that his brand of humor might not transfer to a different audience, but once his first joke got a big laugh, all went according to plan.
Seiden is returning to Vegas in the summer, along with Schick, to intern with Burton, as well as hopefully book some gigs in Vegas clubs. While it may seem he's abandoned his circus-loving roots for the greener pastures of comedy, au contraire; his dream project is to create and perform a variety show with Schick, where they can combine all of their passions: comedy, magic and illusion, juggling, and whatever else might be fun.
On the question of whether or not his parents are supportive of this dream, Seiden blinks. "I don't think I've fully told them yet." However, he says that despite his mother's initial reluctance to buy him a unicycle all those years ago, his parents have been very encouraging.
Despite all the early success, there have been a few bumps in the road. There was a show at Tufts University, for example, where Seiden was told beforehand that he could say whatever he wanted, only to have the microphone taken away from him a few jokes into his routine. In character, Seiden didn't let it break his stride.
"I just laughed about it—and wrote a joke about it the next day."

Celebration includes event gala and special concert for students
The Ohio State University will launch "But for Ohio State: The Campaign for The Ohio State University," with a special celebration at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4, in the Ohio Union, 1739 N. High St.
Through the campaign, Ohio State intends to raise $2.5 billion. The campaign, which will sustain and advance Ohio State as one of the nation's premier public research universities, is the largest fundraising endeavor in the university's history.
Approximately 700 friends of the university are expected to attend the kick-off of Ohio State's fundraising campaign. The event will feature prominent alumni from across the nation, highlighting their stories about how Ohio State helped them become leaders in their field and address issues impacting the world.
As part of the celebration, a free outdoor concert will be held on the Oval for students, faculty, alumni and staff of the university featuring O.A.R. (Of a Revolution), a rock band whose members are Ohio State alumni. Pre-concert programming begins at 8 p.m. and will include special guests and The Ohio State Marching Band. The concert will begin at 9:30 p.m.
As Ohio's land-grant university, Ohio State is the doorway to the American dream for its students, who can experience a multitude of disciplines and learn from professionals and experts from around the world. One of the nation's most comprehensive universities, Ohio State has the capacity, talent and research agenda to discover and create solutions that have enormous impact on hundreds of millions of people.
Through the campaign, Ohio State will fund five priority areas:
*Placing Students First
*Elevating Faculty and Academic Enterprise
*Creating Modern Learning Environments
*Emboldening our Research Agenda
*Driving High-Impact Innovation
Robert Schottenstein, chair of The Ohio State University Board of Trustees underscores the importance of the campaign.
"Since our founding in 1870, The Ohio State University has grown to become one of the nation's premier public research universities. Its impact on our state and beyond is incalculable. The University has real momentum and is making extraordinary progress on many fronts," said Schottenstein. "The But for Ohio State campaign will empower the university to reach new heights, as we continue our journey to become the best public university in the country," he continued.
Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee says the campaign, which has been in the planning phases for several years, will allow Ohio State to implement visionary new ideas.
"This is an unprecedented moment in the history of Ohio State. The campaign will enable us to garner the resources necessary to address issues of the greatest magnitude. It is wholly within our power to reach our full potential as a university that serves our community and our global society with unrestrained vigor."
The campaign will further strengthen the university's solid financial condition and provide even greater flexibility for Ohio State to tackle complex global problems related to food production and security, health and wellness, and energy and the environment. The campaign also will enable the university to implement visionary new ideas for the student experience.
"The But for Ohio State campaign will help provide the resources that allow us to become an even more agile, responsive university in service to our community, our state, our global society and our students," says Jeff Kaplan, president of The Ohio State University Foundation, senior vice president and special assistant to the president.
This is the largest campaign in the university's history. To date, the campaign has more than 400,000 people who have already contributed to the campaign and nearly 350 alumni and friends volunteering on behalf of the campaign. Resources generated through the campaign will combine with internal resources to focus intently on the areas of food production and security, health and wellness, and energy and the environment. The campaign is scheduled to conclude in June 2016.
About But for Ohio State
The But for Ohio State Campaign is a $2.5 billion fundraising endeavor of The Ohio State University that is about sustaining and advancing an institution that changes lives. The campaign goal is to garner ongoing resources that allow Ohio State to expand its role as a leading research university that supports and services the faculty, staff and students, as well as the broader community and global society. The campaign will enable the University to implement visionary new ideas for the student experience and to use our breadth of disciplines to tackle complex global problems related to food production and security; health and wellness; and energy and the environment.

NASHVILLE — State senators passed legislation today that proponents say would let Tennesseans opt out of the federal health care law.
The Health Freedom Act, sponsored by Sen. Mae Beavers, R-Mt. Juliet, was approved on a largely party line vote of 21-10 after heated debate. The bill has not started moving in the House yet.
Beavers argued that the measure was needed to protect Tennesseans from an overreaching federal government because a provision in the law would fine people who refuse to obtain health care coverage.
She said it "gives Tennesseans a choice."
Democrats, however, Republicans were grandstanding with the bill. They offered amendments that expressed support for popular provisions in the law such as doing away with insurance companies' ability to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and impose lifetime limits on reimbursements.
Sen. Andy Berke, D-Chattanooga, read an e-mail from his legislative intern, who has a series of medical problems, including Crohn's disease, which attacks the body's gastrointestinal tract. She said she must take expensive medications now and would be helped by the legislation.

Loads of brand name shoes have been reduced at Macy's as part of their Summer sale, and there are some really great last-minute bargains. These Steven by Steve Madden 'Drea' sandals are down to $60.99 from an original price of over $100. Don't overlook them right away, these sandals epitomise the phrase 'looks better on'. They'd make great day-to-evening holiday (or should that be vacation) buys.

Full of dirt

i LOVE chia seeds and eat them all the time. I had to order these as my staple brand was out of stock for months. I got 2 bags of these and I've only been able to choke down half of 1 bag because they are so gritty/sandy/full of dirt. Quality Control missed the boat on these. I'm afraid to eat these now since I never know what bite will be a tooth crunching surprise. So disgusting! Waste of money
So much soil and dirt in my chia seeds!

I trust Now Foods most of the time, but like the reviewer below, I found so much dirt in my pack. I usually mix them into my smoothies and oatmeal, so I didn't realise the amount of soil in this until my mum showed it to me because. You can see them clearly because she soaks hers in water and all the dirt sinks to the bottom. And it's A LOT of black soil, not kidding...it's disgusting knowing how much of it I've ingested. Now I'm not too sure what to do with my 2nd pack.

Love chia seeds but stay away from these!!! We got a few bags.. The first bag had some crunchy bits but second was way worse!! Did not noticed it till halfway through and finally (at the end of the bag!) dumped it out to see and managed to separate about a tablespoon's worht of pure dirt/earth!! Not sure how much of the dirt we ate, trying hard not to think about that! We tried a couple other brands without problems so do yourself a favor and avoid this one.. Unless you like eating dirt..

There were too many stems - way more than any other brand I've tried. So, I couldn't eat them.

It had so much dirt in it that you don´t want to eat it. I really hope that it was just this packet. There was some kind of mud, could see it, feel it and even taste it. It´s dirtyest chias we have ever seen. I did send mail to Now foods about this product.

Communicating Persuasively: Email or Face-to-Face?March 22, 2012
In reality, of course, it's not always possible to meet in person, so email wins out. How, then, do people react to persuasion attempts over email?
Persuasion research has uncovered fascinating effects: that men seem more responsive to email because it bypasses their competitive tendencies. Women, however, may respond better in face-to-face encounters because they are more 'relationship-minded'.
But is this finding just a gender stereotype?Comments Off

Britney bounces back after the X Factor by wrapping up warm in Paris!
Her X Factor performance may have been slated by the press (and the off-topic reply when talking to Dermot after set the alarm bells ringing) but there's no denying Britney Spears is looking better now than she has in a long time. As she fled to France following the Saturday night mime-fest, she looked her old self wrapped up in a cosy duffel coat and scarf. It's the first time in a long time that CQ's felt the need to emulate Brit. Get your own duffel coat from Gant for £299 (stockists: 020 7201 2900).

In life, there are people who achieve greatness, and, well, there are those who don't. Lucky for Mae "Lady Jazz" Wheeler, she belongs in the former category. This performer has sung her heart out all over St. Louis for years, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today, she is being toasted with a brunch and concert that's right: "Lady Jazz" can sit back and enjoy songs performed by others for a change (Kim Massie, Charles Glenn, Danita Mumphard, the Jazz Edge big band and the Tony Simmons Ensemble are all on the bill). Call 314-383-1327 or 314-435-7685 to reserve your spot at "A Potpourri of Jazz" at the Norwood Hills Country Club (1 Norwood Hills Country Club Drive). This tribute brunch costs $40 a spectacular price to help honor a lifetime of greatness and proceeds benefit the scholarship fund of the Zeta Sigma chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. (which will help others achieve some greatness of their own).

10 Sneaky Sources of Sugar to Avoid
It's been confirmed sadly, sugar is the devil say recent, incontrovertible findings. Clear out these sneaky, every day sources in favor of the occasional really-worth-it splurge, says Dr. Robert Lustig, author of Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease
By Ava Feuer
Sugar is lurking in the condiment aisle — and on your French fries. Almost one-quarter of Heinz's basic Tomato Ketchup — about 4 grams per 17-gram or one tablespoon serving — is high fructose corn syrup, not to mention that many of us eat plenty more than that at a time. Artisanal ketchups taste nothing like the mass market varieties thanks to the natural acidity of the tomatoes used, so if you can't stomach the flavor, try mustard instead.

Keeping Hope Alive
Hope House
A Quarter Century of Caring
For 25 years, Hope House has served as a lifeline for homeless women and children. We provide our families far more than shelter. We put them back on their feet and give them hope.
Our residents come to us in on a referral basis only. Referrals can come from any social services agency, including domestic violence shelters, the state Department of Social Services, Thurman Brisben Homeless Shelter, and local churches.
For up to two years, mothers and their youngsters are nurtured with food and love, supported through crises, taught life skills, and trained for employment. When they "graduate," we continue to follow them, offering assistance and guidance.
We can accommodate up to 17 mothers and 46 children.
The women work in partnership with Hope House to take charge of their lives. If not working when they enter the program, they must find a job or enroll in classes. If they owe money, they must pay off that debt and start saving. They can't use drugs or drink, they must adhere to a curfew, and they can't have overnight guests. Each resident contributes to the daily running of Hope House by taking on household chores.
Safe, affordable childcare often determines whether a woman can hold a job, and in turn, keep her home. At Hope House, the Sunshine Childcare Center provides quality after-school and day-care. This fully-licensed center exposes youngsters to a curriculum of appropriate development activities to build their educational and social abilities.
Hope House works. We have an 87 percent success rate. That means the majority of the women we help will remain in permanent housing and not return to homelessness.
Our vision: Keeping hope alive.
With private donations down and public funding diminishing, Hope House needs your help now more than ever. Please consider making a gift of hope during Hope House's 25th anniversary year.
Please Help
$25 will provide lunch for 5 children for 1 week during the summer camp.
$250 will provide childcare for 1 child for a month.
$2,500 will support 5 residents for a month.
$25,000 will provide shelter and support to a homeless family of 4 for a year.

This March, Gulfport Mayor Mike Yakes will step down from his post as mayor, ending his 22 year run as the city's mayor. He asked the Gabber to make this announcement on his behalf.
"I'm ready to retire," the mayor said over breakfast at Nick's. "I look at the past with so much love, how fortunate I've been to be supported, and what the citizens gave me, [but] being very fair reasonable about the future, I don't have the assurance quite yet that I'm able to continue at the same energy level for three more years."
Mayor Yakes, or "Mayor Mike" to many Gulfportians, said he has no pressing health issues but did say that the meetings he missed in recent history showed him that he must now slow his pace.
"I never [used to] miss a meeting," he said. "I miss a meeting, you might as well chop half of me away. [The missed meetings] were related to health. I'm not on a golf course; I've never passed up a meeting to go to a party."
"I'm talking about normal aging, and responsibilities at home, along with health challenges," he said. The mayor, a widower in his late 60s, is currently raising a teenage boy and girl. His wife of 31 years, Darlene, died in the summer of 2008. She ran the mayor's campaigns, helped raise the kids, and helped him with his day-to-day responsibilities.
"You know what? I've learned how much Darlene did for me," he said. "Things that she could do, that I'm trying to do alone, it's hard. I've accepted that."
Mayor Mike praised the council and the city, saying the unification on council made his decision easier.
"It's so obvious to me that we're headed in a good direction. Staff wise, we're great. Politically, we're getting stronger. What I like about the new council? They're involved," he said. He praised the council for its involvement with state government and the Florida League of Cities and said an effective council needs to spend time with the citizens.
"In order to make Tuesday nights succeed, you better be giving the other six days a lot of attention," he said. He also said he hopes the council remembers that no one person on council knows better than the residents.
"I'm not elected to think for voters," he said. "I'm elected to represent the voters."
The mayor said he will finish his term. He stopped short of endorsing a candidate for his successor, but he did offer that person the following advice:
"Be patient. Listen to the elected and all the residents. That's the key: government for the people, by the people," he said. He also spoke of the need for patience at meetings.
"Patience has always been my hardest challenge," he admitted. "I've felt that when we have meetings of tension, if I lose it, then we would all go to hell that night and never be able to come back. It would be like the Christmas party that destroyed the company."
He encouraged voters, when considering a new mayor, to "ask the candidate the questions that determined why you voted for me."
As for his tenure as Gulfport's mayor?
"I am fortunate."

'Doctor Who' Season 7 Scoop Straight From Today's Convention
Attendees at today's "Doctor Who" Convention in Cardiff, Wales had plenty to smile about.
Not only they did get some serious scoop on the upcoming Season 7, they also got the world premiere of the Season 7 teaser trailer. And it is completely awesome.
As previously reported, cast members Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are leaving the series in the fall. Their exit has has a suitably big, dramatic storyline written by showrunner Steven Moffat, which features fan favorite baddies the Weeping Angels.
Last week, the normally spoiler-averse Moffat dropped some clues, saying: "Amy & Rory will leave in a final encounter w/ the Weeping Angels in ep 5. Not everyone gets out alive & I mean it this time."
This afternoon, in a "Doctor Who Uncut" panel session, executive producer Caroline Skinner added that Amy and Rory's final episode will be shot in New York City.
Karen Gillan told HuffPost TV in an interview earlier today that the cast had their first read-through of the script Friday night, and that Amy goes out in a majorly ass-kicking way.
"I know how I want her to go," Gillan said. "And I actually know how she goes now."
When asked if she could elaborate, Gillan laughed. "No I can't! Absolutely not! But I know that I want her to go out in all her glory."
It was also revealed that the Doctor's new companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman, will make her debut in the 2012 Christmas special.
Season 7 will be split, with the final eight episodes airing in 2013. Which also marks the 50th anniversary of the veteran drama.
Last week former "Doctor Who" star David Tennant said in a BBC radio interview that he'd love to be part of the anniversary celebrations, but that âIâm not at present! Iâm waiting for a phone call.â
Today, Moffat refused to be drawn on whether any of the previous residents of the TARDIS would be part of the anniversary festivities.
The "Uncut" panel session also featured the world premiere of the Season 7 teaser trailer, which received a rapturous reception from the capacity crowd. The trailer goes live on the BBC website Monday March 26 at 4 a.m. ET.
It contains footage from the Season 7 premiere, which was shot on the same sets in Almeria, Spain as classic spaghetti western "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly." There are guest appearances from sci fi superstar Ben Browder and Adrian Scarborough (a.k.a. Pritchard the butler in the rebooted "Upstairs Downstairs").
The trailer also boasts some serious SFX and, was that a Dalek's eye poking through the snow at the end?

John Stossel Green tyranny and green mythology
I love trees and animals.
But you can love nature and still hate the tyranny that environmental regulations bring.
The Environmental Protection Agency just announced it will boost gas prices ("only" a penny, although industry says 6 to 9 cents) to make another minuscule improvement to air quality.
In New York City, my mayor wants to ban Styrofoam cups, saying, "I think it's something we can do without."
Congress already dictates the design of our cars, toilets and light bulbs.
Originally, environmental rules were a good thing. I love the free market, but it doesn't offer a practical remedy to pollution. I could sue polluters for violating my property rights, but under our legal system, that's not even close to practical.
So in the '70s, government passed rules that demanded we stop polluting the air and water. Industry put scrubbers in smokestacks. Towns installed sewage treatment. Now the air is quite clean, and I can swim in the rivers around Manhattan.
But government didn't stop there. Government never stops. Now that the air is cleaner, government spends even more than it spent to clean the air to subsidize feeble methods of energy production, like windmills and solar panels. Activists want even more spending. A few years back, the Center for American Progress announced it was upset that "Germany, Spain and China Are Seizing the Energy Opportunity ... the United States Risks Getting Left Behind."
In this case, we're better off "left behind." After spending billions, those European governments made no breakthroughs, and now they're cutting back.
The Endangered Species Act was another noble idea. We all want to save polar bears. But now the bureaucrats make it almost impossible for some people to improve their own property.
Louisiana landowner Edward Poitevent wants to build homes and offices north of Lake Pontchartrain. He could provide safe high-ground housing to people eager to move away from areas that were flooded during Hurricane Katrina. But he is not allowed to build because the government decided 1,500 acres of his land should become a preservation area for a threatened species called the dusky gopher frog. None of these frogs currently live on his property. Poitevent told me, "The Fish and Wildlife Service has certified that the frog has not been seen in the state of Louisiana since 1967."
Fish and Wildlife Service officials said they were "not available" to talk with me about this. Instead, they posted a video on YouTube that says they work "with" landowners: "The Service has many voluntary partnership-based programs that can provide technical and financial assistance to manage species."
That sounds nice, but the government's handbook on how to work with them is an onerous 315 pages long.
The environmentalists so torment those who resist their schemes that some landowners tell each other, "If you find an endangered species, shoot, shovel and shut up!" That's mostly a joke. But it does happen, and it's one more way government regulations backfire.
Throughout the world, most reductions in pollution have been achieved because of capitalism, not government control.
Fracking for natural gas reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Even much-hated coal and oil provide benefits. Science writer Matt Ridley says, "Burning of fossil fuels is helping the rainforest in the Amazon to grow."
Ridley also points out modern industrial farming allows people to grow more food on less land, and so people cut down fewer trees. "New England used to be 70 percent farmland - it's now 70 percent forest."
You can even see the difference between areas that get greener and ones that don't from space: The Dominican Republic is noticeably greener than its immediate neighbor, Haiti, mainly because the Dominican Republic uses fossil fuel instead of burning wood from its forests for fuel, as Haiti does.
Industry and technology, not regulations, are humanity's greatest contribution to the environment. Leave people their freedom, and they come up with new, smarter, more efficient and thus cleaner ways of doing things. Stifling that process with regulation isn't "progressive."

In the end Atlanta may not have had any chance to win in this series. Everything the Hawks tried worked at times, and then the Magic adjusted. Orlando had all the answers.
The Hawks can say they went down fighting, but it still was nowhere near enough. The Magic swept the Hawks with a 98-84 win in Game Four. They await the winner of the Cleveland-Boston series and face possibly another week between games.
Atlanta really played its best game (except for the first parts of Game Two) and certainly picked up the pieces after a pitiful effort in Game Three. There simply was not enough in the tank or enough skill on the floor to top an Orlando team that could simply pick them apart.
The Magic shot near 80 percent in the first quarter, moving the ball beautifully from side to side and taking near uncontested 3-pointers. Jameer Nelson attacked the paint to initiate the offense and found cutters and shooters as Atlanta's defense collapsed around him. Nelson scored 16 points and dished out six of his nine assists in the first quarter. Orlando held a 34-23 lead after one quarter, even with Atlanta shooting 52 percent.
The Hawks, to their credit, finally started making shots early. Then in the second quarter, after scoring no points in the paint, they attacked and tried to score inside. It was successful as Atlanta cut into the lead or kept it stable around 10 points. But the Hawks could never get closer.
Dwight Howard was a big reason why. Joe Johnson was more aggressive and hit some jumpers early. But on every trip to the paint, he had one eye on Howard. Howard was active (although he did not fill up the traditional box score) and changed just about every shot taken near the rim.
If Atlanta converts those, maybe there is a Game Five on Wednesday. Howard, pulled away from the basket for most of the night after Al Horford hit his first couple mid-range jumpers, scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
His only problem tonight was his seven turnovers. The Magic struggled with turnovers throughout the game as the attention to detail was up and down throughout the game. Orlando committed 15 turnovers, doubling Atlanta's seven turnovers. This allowed the Hawks to hang around.
But every time Atlanta would make a run, Orlando stepped up its game and closed the door.
Howard's defensive presence was very evident. But the Magic also did a good job keeping their hands active — as they have all series — and forcing the Hawks into turnovers, poor shots and allowing them to settle into one on one basketball.
Johnson ended up with 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting despite the good start. Jamal Crawford had his moments, but was also 5 for 15 and scored 18 points. His floater at the end of the third quarter cut the Magic's lead to nine. Then Orlando went on a 9-0 run and had an 18-point lead.
Three-point shooting had a big part in Orlando's win tonight. Again, it did seem like the team was doing just enough to keep a comfortable lead while never blowing the game completely open.
The 3-point barrage started early and carried throughout the game. Rashard Lewis was the main culprit hitting on four of his seven attempts on his way to 17 points. Carter also made four of seven in his 22-point effort.
The lead was built in the first quarter by some great ball movement around the perimeter to find open shooters. Yes, Orlando fell in love with the perimeter shot while the team went cold in the second and third quarters. But when it came time to answer a Hawks run, the Magic had the perfect play to answer — whether it was getting the ball to Dwight Howard in the post, driving and dishing or making that clutch 3-pointer.
Atlanta played much better, but never had that sense of urgency necessary to win an elimination game. The Magic beat the Hawks to loose balls throughout the night and the Hawks never took the game.
In the end, Orlando was simply a better team and perhaps Atlanta had no chance at winning. This was another business-like game where the Magic simply won and moved on (this time, literally). Listening to this team, they seem very focused in and hungry for the next challenge. They may have to wait a while, but for now they are halfway to their ultimate goal.

We are a couple who reside in New York City and have spent the past fifteen years vacationing in the area with our four children.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2004
Why The Owner chose Bigfork
There are so many activities we enjoy in the area that we wanted to be able to enjoy coming to Bigfork at other times during the year. We enjoy flyfishing, skiing and horseback riding and the quality of life that Bigfork has to offer. We love the weather during the summer and the winters are remarkably mild with an abundance of snow.
