Superman, given the serial nature of comic publishing and the length of the character's existence, has evolved as a character as his adventures have increased. Initially a crime fighter, the character was seen in early adventures stepping in to stop wife beaters and gangsters, with rather rough edges and a rather looser moral code than audiences may be used to today. Modern writers have softened the character, and instilled a sense of idealism and moral code of conduct.
Clark Kent, initially based somewhat on Harold Lloyd, has also been updated over the years. During the 1970s, the character left the Daily Planet for a time to work for television, whilst the 1980s revamp by John Byrne saw the character become somewhat more aggressive. This aggressiveness has since faded with subsequent creators restoring the mild mannerisms traditional to the character. Children have often been discussed in arenas both in and outside the official comics, with the possibility of progeny a part of Bryan Singer's 2006 film Superman Returns.
The powers of DC Comics character Superman have changed since his introduction in the 1930s. The extent of his powers peaked during the 1970s and 1980s to the point where various writers found it difficult to create suitable challenges for the character. As a result his powers were significantly reduced when his story was rebooted by writer John Byrne after the Crisis on Infinite Earths series. After Byrne's departure, Superman's powers were gradually increased again, although he still remains weaker than his pre-Crisis incarnation.
DC Comics, Inc. is one of the largest and most successful companies operating in the market for American comic books and related media. It is the publishing unit of DC Entertainment, a company of Warner Bros. Entertainment, which itself is owned by Time Warner. DC Comics produces material featuring a large number of well-known characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman, Hawkman, and Green Arrow, along with such superhero teams as the Justice League and the Teen Titans, as well as antagonists such as the Joker, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, the Riddler, Catwoman, Brainiac, and the Penguin.
The initials "DC" came from the company's popular series Detective Comics, which featured Batman's debut and subsequently became part of the company's name. Originally in Manhattan at 432 Fourth Avenue, the DC Comics offices have been located at 480 and later 575 Lexington Avenue; 909 Third Avenue; 75 Rockefeller Plaza; 666 Fifth Avenue; and 1325 Avenue of the Americas. DC has its headquarters at 1700 Broadway, Midtown Manhattan, New York City, but it was announced in October of 2013 that DC Entertainment would relocate its headquarters from New York to Los Angeles (Burbank specifically).
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.
Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding of the idea is fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in the various forms of ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Hence, there is the possibility that what appears as entertainment may also be a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth.

Green River lands technology grant
The U.S. Department of Education has announced that Green River Community College's Computer Reporting Technologies program has received a grant for $285,000 to provide education and training for realtime writers and captioning students.
Green River's program was the only one of four programs nationwide to receive the grant.
"In today's bleak economic environment, this is a victory for the program and the college," said Sidney Weldele-Wallace, an instructor in the program, who credits Sen. Patty Murray with securing the funding.
The grant will allow the program to offer additional scholarships and broaden program marketing for student recruitment and retention. The funds will also help acquire equipment and technology upgrades for Salish Hall, a replacement building for the program's current home.
In addition, the appropriation will also be used to expand curriculum and faculty development, allow the program to continue professional retraining workshops for working court reporters interested in captioning as an alternative or second career, and provide for community outreach projects serving the local deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. This includes possible research into other benefits of captioning in the educational setting such as literacy development of school-age children to potentially increase standardization test scores and language development for those whom English is a second language, according to Weldele-Wallace.
This is the second federal grant that Green River's Computer Reporting Technologies department has been awarded. In 2001, the program received $250,000.
The Green River program is the only one of its kind within a five-state radius that provides for the education and hands-on training of realtime writers and captioners, of which there is a shortage in the workforce, according to Lori Rapozo, Computer Reporting Technologies faculty member.
Green River offers classes in Computer Reporting Technologies for summer quarter. Classes begin June 22 and registration is under way. For more information on the program, contact Weldele-Wallace at 253-833-9111, ext. 4705 or by email at email@example.com. Lori Rapozo can be reached at 253-833-9111, ext. 4219 or by email at email@example.com.

Islesford Historical Museum
Little Cranberry Island
Inhabitants of the Cranberry Islands have long depended on resources they could extract from the land and sea. Centuries after the Wabanaki started canoeing to the islands, European settlers, some of whose descendents still live on the islands today, were farming, tending to livestock, fishing, and even hunting whales. Salted cod and smoked mackerel were daily nutritious fare for the settlers, who also sold their catch to earn money or credit for basic goods that they could not hunt, fish, or grow themselves. Today, lobster traps have replaced drying fish as the most visible evidence of an island community reliant on fishing. The Islesford Historical Museum, part of Acadia National Park since 1949, is dedicated to the history of the Cranberry Islands, with a focus on life in the 19th century. Objects on exhibit include sextants and octants, a harpoon gun and ship clock, store ledgers and weights, and many other colonial artifacts.

Just before the Civil War, a visitor to Cranberry Isles wrote, "The occupations of the inhabitants as well as the substantial arrangements of their tables, are furnished from the mute briny world."

Doom 7 redux: People are tired of Doom
Time to retire John Carmack.
I would really like to know how much it cost to port? I always thought ID made quick linux ports for the ultra nerds. Just a small gift. They never really sold it right?
But I am glad he said it in the open. It really gives you insight into how he thinks and how much he knows. And to claim that _at this time_ linux support wouldn't be worth it. How can you trust anything else he might claim?
Doom 7 redux: People are tired of Doom
Time to retire John Carmack.
Who knows - maybe TTimo left because it has been a constant fight against
a strong Linux support objection within the rest of the id stuff.
In the end it could be they even didn't allow him to port Rage on his own.
I used to love ID's work about 2 decades ago (I played Q2 MP incessantly for almost a decade). Today, I often forget they are out still out there. It doesn't matter who they support if they can't release a title worth a damn anymore.
I think Carmack vision is a little bit oldie because when he ported his Quakes he didn't get in contact with the most important hardware makers to improve graphics in Linux as is doing now Valve. If I remember well he got in contack only with the best graphics hardware maker at that time.
Also I think it might be that Steam on Linux not to be a great success, but anyway it will get users from Windows, and in the long term it will make money. In the short term it would make one or two million dollars the first year, which would pay the Linux port bill.
The way Valve sees it, is that Linux only has a 1% desktop share because of the lack of games. They figure if you build it, they will come. Put some games on the Linux platform and that 1% will surely rise. To how much is yet to be seen.
Also the difference between ID Software and Valve is nearly night and day. ID releases a few games onto Linux, and I guess they're hoping for users to switch OS's just because of ID. Valve has an ecosystem, where they bring a store and even tools for developers. They're getting very involved with linux development.
Linux already has something the average Joe Six Pack wants from an OS.
#1 Free.
#2 No need for anti-virus software.
#3 Customizable.
Joe Six Pack doesn't like these things about Linux.
#1 Software he owns working on Linux?
#2 Is it stupid proof?
#3 Why should I care?
The last one is important because there is lots of people still using Windows XP, and they don't care about upgrading to Windows 8 or bothering with Linux. They have no reason to.
Same here. Even though I'm a gamer for more than 5 years my first bought game was Oil Rush. Second I bought Trine 1, which is a great game, in Humble Frozen Bundle. I also plan to buy Trine 2. All this games have in common some requirements that I have.
These are my requirements for buying games:
1. Have a first class linux client
2. Have a stand-alone installer (no Desura, no Steam), but being available on Desura and Steam is a plus, like Oil Rush
3. No DRM, maximum that I allow is a simple serial number
4. No Internet connection required
5. If it's possible LAN multiplayer (with no internet required, not Starcraft II shit)
6. Demo available, if not i will download an unlocked version and play it. I don't buy games that I didn't played before.
7. Reasonable price (less than 30 $)
If my requirements are not met, they should go fuck themselves, because I like my freedom and I will not buy their game.
And what positive results Carmack wants?
You don't have a first class linux client, linux market share is less than 5%, you don't advetise linux much but you want positive results?
If you want positive results release a long awaited game like Doom 4 on linux first and wait 3-6 monts and then release it to Windows. You will see then.
Please don't use HB as a benchmark. First of all, both Mac and Windows have a much larger selection to choose from and little indies won't appeal to groups as much that can get the AAA titles on a whim. With Linux user and HB, they are starving for a game, any game, that isn't tux racer or some decade old port. That is what you are seeing when you look at HB's numbers and that is why you see them paying more as well. Pay what you want and pay what we ask are two very different marketing strategies and will carry two very different sets of numbers.
Well, can't just start bashing him because he hasn't made the business of games on Linux profitable - but I remember how hard it was to get ET:QW, and still is, get working in Linux because it's fairly difficult to find the latest updates, to make the binaries work, and manual it all. Perhaps if they didn't treat all Linux users including new ones like they're pro sysadmins, maybe they would've fared better.

Rex Ryan has brought his in-your-face style of doing things with him to Buffalo.
Newly minted Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan called an audible on his famous New York Jets-themed tattoo shortly before the Super Bowl.
Rex Ryan's introductory press conference with the Buffalo Bills just turned extremely NSFW thanks to one reporter who asked perhaps the best question in the history of press conferences.
Rex Ryan is like a box of chocolates… You never know what you're gonna get.
The New York Jets were destroyed, 31-0, by the San Diego Chargers Sunday in a game that saw Rex Ryan replace Geno Smith with Michael Vick.
Bill Belichick's tumultuous week with the Fourth Estate has not gone unnoticed by Rex Ryan.
On fourth down in the fourth quarter down seven points Geno Smith threw an incredible touchdown pass to Jeremy Kerley but the touchdown was negated because someone on the Jets sideline called timeout.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan turned into an overjoyed child yesterday when his team took a fourth-quarter lead over the Oakland Raiders.
Do they have chicken wings in Brazil.

The capital city of New Zealand, Wellington is located at the southern tip of the North Island. It is situated on a splendid harbour and hemmed in by steep hills, creating a compact inner city centre with a mix of historic and modern buildings. It is the second largest city in the country, the energetic centre for culture and arts, and the entertainment, commercial and political capital of New Zealand with an air of pronounced sophistication and vibrancy. Apart from its importance as the capital, it is the main departure point for the South Island.
Also called 'Windy Wellington', it lives up to its name especially in winter when the lashing winds from the Cook Strait whistle through the wind funnels created by the high-rise buildings of the central business district. The bustling, pretty waterfront area is a sheltered refuge with a graceful promenade, featuring shops, restaurants and various leisure activities. Brightly coloured sails scud across the harbour, the reliable wind providing excellent sailing and windsurfing opportunities. The ferry to the picturesque Days Bay, one of Wellington's best swimming beaches, affords excellent views of the city from the water. Dominating the waterfront is the Te Papa Museum, the pride and joy of the nation that embodies the quintessence of New Zealand and its people.
In the city centre the Parliamentary District is the architectural masterpiece of Wellington, including the Old Government Building, the second largest wooden building in the world; the unmistakable modernist Beehive, the executive offices of Parliament; Parliament House and the Victorian Gothic National Library.
The cable car takes people up to the Botanic Gardens for vistas of the city centre and across the harbour to the Hutt Valley, one of the scenic locations used in the filming of 'Lord of the Rings'. Another film site is Mount Victoria, offering sweeping panoramic views of the city and its suburbs, the surrounding hills and bays, and the harbour.

A ring $R$ is a Boolean ring provided that $a^2=a$ for every $a \in R$. How can we show that every Boolean ring is commutative?
Thanks in advance.
A ring $R$ is a Boolean ring provided that $a^2=a$ for every $a \in R$. How can we show that every Boolean ring is commutative? Thanks in advance. |
Every Boolean ring is of characteristic 2, since $a+a=(a+a)^2=a^2+a^2+a^2+a^2=a+a+a+a$ Now, for any $x,y$ in the ring $x+y=(x+y)^2=x^2+xy+yx+y^2=x+y+xy+yx$ So that $xy+yx=0$ and hence $xy=-yx$. But since the ring has characteristic 2, $yx=-yx=xy$ |
I always like to know where these problems come from, their history. This was first proved in a paper by Stone in 1936. Here's a link to that paper for anyone who is interested: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/S0002-9947-1936-1501865-8 His proof is in the first full paragraph on p. 40. |
Of course, this is an old chestnut: if you are interested in typical generalizations of this commutativity theorem in a wider, more structural context (to associative, unitary rings) I suggest reading T.Y. Lam's beautiful Springer GTM 131 "A First Course in Noncommutative Rings", Chapter 4, §12, in particular the Jacobson-Herstein Theorem (12.9), p. 209: A (unitary, associative) ring $R$ is commutative iff for any $a,b\in R$ one always has $(ab-ba)^{n+1}=ab-ba$ for some $n\in\mathbb N$ ($n$ generally depending on $a,b$). (Further, using Artin's theorem concerning diassociativity of alternative algebrae, associativity of $R$ may be weakened to alternativity.) Cp. also the exercises given, in particular Ex. 9. Note that the Boolean case is special, as that the ring considered needn't be unitary a-priori. Kind regards - Stephan F. Kroneck. |
Plug $a = x + y$. |
HINT $\rm\quad\ \ A = X+Y\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ X\ Y = - Y\ X\:.\ $ But $\rm -1 = 1\ $ via $\rm\ A = -1$ |
As Yuval points out $(x+y)^{2} = x+y$ which implies $x^{2} + y^{2} + x \cdot y + y \cdot x = x+y$. Now from this you have $x \cdot y + y \cdot x =0$. |
We want to show that $xy = yx$ for all $x,y \in R$. We know that $(x+y)^2 = x+y$. So $(x+y)^2 = (x+y)(x+y) = xx+xy+yx+yy = x+xy+yx+y = x+x^2y^2+y^2x^2+y$. This equals $x+(xy)+(yx) + y = x+y$ so that $xy = yx$. |
When you get to the part where ab=-ba
ab =-ba (1)
Pre-multiply a to both sides
a(ab)=a(-ba) |

Ward, who specializes in ancient ships, will talk about the discovery of the remains of one of the world's oldest seagoing ships in Egypt. She'll discuss how the remains were used to reconstruct a complete ship of the type that sailed more than 1,000 miles south in the Red Sea. The ship was traveling to Punt, or God's Land, where the Egyptians could trade textiles, copper tools and weapons and wine for frankincense, gold and myrrh, among other things. Her involvement in the project was recently featured on a PBS episode of "Nova" that aired earlier this year.
In addition to community outreach programs, Ward is working to establish Coastal Carolina University's new Center for Archaeology and Anthropology.
She earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from Texas A&M University, a master's degree in bioarchaeology from the Institute of Archaeology at the University of London, a master's degree in anthropology from Texas A&M University and a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Texas Tech University.
Ward founded and co-directed the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Egypt and has served as a national speaker for the Archaeological Institute of America.

****kkkkkkkkkkkkk Brown's out for the year?!?!? Only good part about that is that we'll see more Wilson. Maybe. Hopefully not more Bradshaw
How the **** are any of you complaining about bradshaw after the game he had tonight for an unproven rookie.
I swear some of you need to use your head
Brown was quietly becoming that reliable goal line back that we needed. I have ?....whats going on with Da'rel Scott....I always thought he could be a servicable back. Think he will get in the rotation now?
God damnit, I knew it when I saw it but still had hope. ****
THANK GOODNESS!:clap:
This will hurt us down the stretch. We basically lost our best RB
He is our most productive back because of opportunity, I will remember you and your comment about me being an idiot when wilson proves all u doubters wrong. What opportunity has wilson had really, he fumbles in one game and thats it. People tend to forget that wilson was killing it in the pre season. Again, I will remember u GMenFanSince90;24464086:cool:
Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo
For those asking about Joseph Addai and the Giants, I'm told that's probably not gonna happen.
Had heard last week Ryan Torain was more impressive in workout. We'll see if something develops.
A few notes from yesterday's game:
1. I don't know the percentage, but I would guess that there were 3 safety sets on the field for 90% of the plays until Phillips went down with an injury. Fewell said that he wanted Stevie to get a lot of playing time with KP back and obviously did that with the 3 safety sets
2. Biggest beneficiary of the 3 safety sets might be Mathias Kiwanuka. He rarely played LB yesterday and b/c of that, he got a ton of reps at DE and got 2 sacks yesterday from those snaps. This might be a sign of things to come for Kiwi if he gets more reps at DE.
3. Everyone wants to throw Osi under the bus for not showing up for games, but when he does he makes a big impact. Yet ANOTHER strip sack forcing an Aaron Rodgers fumble.
4. Welcome to the NFL Rueben Randle. Showed flashes earlier in the season, but now has gotten into the endzone and is showing that he can be a reliable option for Eli. He better not drop the ball again on PR's though... Don't scare us like that...
5. David Diehl has his best game of the season before getting a burner and having to leave the game yesterday. He created a ton of holes for the running game and helped protect Eli as well.
6. Most improved player on the Giants and very quickly becoming a legit pro bowl caliber player is Prince Amukamara. Did anyone hear his name last night? No, that's because he shut down James Jones the entire game. Jones did not have a single catch last night. QB's are throwing constantly to Webster's side of the field now because Prince has been playing THAT well this season. Let's hope he can keep it up.
7. Last but not least.... Time to congratulate the best offensive player in Giants History, Eli Manning on passing Phil Simms on the All-Time Career TD list. Never count him out! On to Washington...
He's gonna practice Thursday. That's big.Quote:

« Ellen Allien - new albums, 2008 Tour Dates (Studio B) | some TV on the Radio dates & The Monolith Festival lineup »
Posted in music | tour dates on April 22, 2008
He & Him
Info on Conor's latest venture below. No NYC date yet....
Conor Oberst is set to release a solo album on August 4th on Merge Records.
This recording was made in Tepoztlán, Morelos, México during the months of January and February 2008. In Tepoztlán, a place known for Aztec Magic and Extra-Terrestrial Sightings, a temporary studio was created in a mountain villa called Valle Místico at the outskirts of town. It was produced by Conor Oberst with much help from engineer and long time associate Andy LeMaster. A special band was assembled for the recording, known amongst themselves and to friends as The Mystic Valley Band. It was there at Valle Místico that Conor and the band lived and worked for that time in near perfect harmony, often unaware of the hour or the day. The result is his first solo album in thirteen years, following Water (1993), Here's To Special Treatment (1994) and Soundtrack To My Movie (1995). In that time he has recorded and preformed in many bands and musical projects including Commander Venus, Park Ave., Desaparecidos, and most notably Bright Eyes, his main musical vehicle for the past decade.
Conor Oberst will be touring this album throughout the summer and has already announced an appearance at September's Austin City Limits festival.
Track List in full:
1. Cape Cañaveral
2. Sausalito
3. Get-Well-Cards
4. Lenders In The Temple
5. Danny Callahan
6. I Don't Want To Die (In The Hospital)
7. Eagle On A Pole
8. Moab
9. NYC - Gone, Gone
10. Valle Místico (Ruben's Song)
11. Souled Out!!!
12. Milk Thistle
Live shows for Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band:
8/22 Leeds Festival - England
8/24 Reading Festival -England
8/31 Electric Picnic - County Laois, Ireland
9/27 ACL Music Festival -Austin, TX

This is a way to change direction because his career is becoming stale and trite. I used to be a fan and now I am just over it.

How it is "solo" if he is playing with The Mystic Valley Band?
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 11:55 AM
This is like when Bob Pollard broke up GBV to go "solo". I think it is just a way for this guy to play some shows without having to play songs from the Bright Eyes albums.
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 11:55 AM
I apologize for my prior comment. Conor Oberst should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Bob Pollard. Also, I'm sure the "Bright Eyes" name is contractually obligated to some other record company.
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 12:00 PM
He just wants to put out that speed metal-meets-rap album without scaring the NPR set.
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 12:23 PM
he's just changing his name to what he always wanted to be. he couldnt be called conor obrest when no one gave a fuck who he was
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 12:32 PM
Well, at least the Merge promo tells the dumb American indie rocker what Tepoztlán is known for. I bet the locals there are even happier to know this pretensious dick-wad packed up his 'Mystic Valley Band' & left town.

re: 1200PM
you didn't mention those two people in the same sentence... but we can bet you typed all that with a smug look of satisfaction on your face. yea, take that conor oberst

GBV's second to last NYC show -- Bob Pollard onstage saying 'You know who I fucking hate? (drunken pause) Bright Eyes.' Heck, maybe that's why Conor is changing his name.
Posted by greg | April 22, 2008 1:54 PM
Yea him in his brother own saddle creek. So the name bright eyes is not "contractually obligated" to another label.

2:37 offers so much insight into how 1:35 and 1:38 offered no insight, huh?
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 2:54 PM
he owns his own label, yes. team love records, its on 1st ave and 9th or 10th st i believe. after starting his own label, signing to a major for overseas releases, and now releasing on merge.. id say he's straying away from saddle creek.
Posted by m | April 22, 2008 2:55 PM
What made Bob's bright eyes comment even more funny was that Conor was on the side of the stage.
Posted by Anonymous | April 22, 2008 3:08 PM
2:54 you're a very witty hipster, or douchebag, whichever you prefer. 3:08 I was at that same show. Great show it was. Long live GBV.

Bright Eyes isn't a single artist- Conor.
It's actually a kind of a band, between Mike Mogis and Conor Oberst.. most people don't realize that.. but Conor has clarified that in past interviews and such.
I am interested in seeing what he'll break away and do a bit. I mean this doesn't necessarily mean Bright Eyes is over obviously, it is just Conor reinventing himself again, just without the Saddle Creek backdrop he's usually associated with.. and people shouldn't judge the situation or the music.. (in general)
as it is his own personal view.. but if you do decide to do so.. at least listen, or get a good basic idea of the picture before claiming the art is bad. I respect Conor for what he decides to do in his life, and it is his choice. Conor will always be brilliant in my eyes, a true, passionate, and unconventional artist.
One of the greatest of our time.
That is my opinion, and I hold to it.
Music is not a possession, it is free for anyone and everyone.. if a certain artist or genre is not for you, don't listen to it.. and find something that you do connect with. :]
Peace and Love,

Wayne Grey: [trying to get the alien's attention with an open mike] Ka Ka! Tukki Tukki!
Harry Block: Wayne, I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work.
Wayne Grey: Right. Sorry.
[He starts singing into the mike]
Wayne Grey: You are so beautiful, to me...
Ira Kane: Step back, Harry, I'm gonna shoot him.
Harry Block: Uh-uh, stand down! I'm taking this one out myself.
Wayne Grey: Can't you see...
Harry Block: Wayne, would you please stop, because you are embarrasing me.
[Wayne starts singing louder and directly to Harry. The creature reacts]
Ira Kane: It's working!
Harry Block: [to Wayne] Sing! Sing! Rub some funk on it!
Ira Kane: If I was a giant nasty alien bird in a department store, where would I be?
Harry Block: Lingerie.
Ira Kane: Not you, the bird.
Harry Block: Lingerie.
[Dr. Paulson is going to pull the alien bug out through Harry's rectum]
Nurse Tate: I'll get the lubricant...
Dr. Paulson: No time for lubricant!
Harry Block: There's ALWAYS time for lubricant!
[an alien bug is crawling inside Block's leg]
Dr. Allison Reed: What are you gonna do?
Dr. Paulson: We might have to amputate.
Harry Block: Whoa, Doc! Don't take the leg! Ira, don't let them take my leg.
Ira Kane: Isn't there anything else you can do? He thinks he's an athlete.
Nurse Tate: Doctor, look!
Dr. Paulson: It's headed for his testicles.
Harry Block: Take it! Take it! Take the leg!
Harry Block: Great googa-mooga!
[Harry has just had an alien removed rectally]
Dr. Allison Reed: It's over, it's over. You did great! Do you need anything? Can we get you anything?
Harry Block: Ice cream... I'd like an ice cream please.
Dr. Allison Reed: Okay, what flavor?
Harry Block: It doesn't matter. It's for my ass.
Dr. Allison Reed: There's something I feel I should tell you, but I don't know exactly how.
Ira Kane: Well, just say it. We're adults and we're all about to die a very horrible death soon anyway, so?
Dr. Allison Reed: I would've rocked your world.
Ira Kane: You already have.
Ira Kane: Give me back my friend, you big sphincter!
Ira Kane: Ira Kane, head of the science department, Glen Canyon Community College.
Harry Block: Harry Block, United States Geological Survey.
Wayne Grey: Wayne Grey. I took some chemistry in high school.
[the heroes just killed a dinosaur-like creature]
Ira Kane: So, what do you want? Light meat, or dark?
Harry Block: You have to ask?
[after an alien bug crawls into his body]
Harry Block: For the love of everything good and holy, get this goddamn thing out of me!
Harry Block: I'm no biologist, but how many cells do single-celled organisms have?
Ira Kane: Harry, if we're going to be big important scientists you have to start to act the part.
[they see a dying monster coughing something up]
Wayne Grey: Whoa! It's like a big lugie!
[the 'egg' breaks, and another monster comes out]
Harry Block: Mazel tov! It's a boy!
Ira Kane: Allow me to share something with the entire class. Last night as I was grading papers, I came across two gems both entitled "Cells are Bad" and both with just one paragraph which I unfortunately committed to memory: "Cells are bad. My uncle lives in a cell. It's ten foot by twelve and he has to read the same boring, old magazine everyday. The end." Although my standards are nowhere near where they used to be I could not bring myself to put As atop those beauties.
Deke: [points to his brother and himself as he slowly realizes] You're... talking... about our papers!
Harry Block: You going to finish that bacon?
Wayne Grey: Yeah, I am. I ordered it, didn't I?
Harry Block: So, do they give the Nobel Prize out in yearly payments or is it just one lump sum, like the lottery?
Ira Kane: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Harry Block: Oh, I'm not getting ahead of myself. I've very concerned about the potential tax consequences.
Wayne Grey: [as they arm themselves in the sporting goods store] You ever use one of these things before?
Harry Block: Just 'cause I'm a schoolteacher, that don't make me a pussy.
Ira Kane: Ladies, ladies, there's a terrifying alien bird menacing the mall. Can we focus?
Harry Block: Testing, testing, one, two, one-one-one-two... this is D.J. Harry Block here, and I'm an Aquarius...
Ira Kane: Harry, would you stop it? I can hear you.
Harry Block: Don't you snap at me, unless you want an angry solid gold dancer on your hands, Ira.
Ira Kane: You wouldn't understand.
Dr. Allison Reed: No, how could I? I'm just a humorless ice maiden in desperate need of a good humping.
Ira Kane: Oh... you heard that, huh?
Dr. Allison Reed: Loud and clear.
Nadine: I really need these credits to get into nursing school.
Harry Block: Nursing school? Don't you think you'd be happier in a different profession, one where people's lives were NOT dependent on you?
Ira Kane: We call no one, we tell no one. This is our secret, right?
Harry Block: What about the government? I mean, isn't this the kind of thing they usually get involved in?
Ira Kane: No! No government. I know those people. Absolutely not.
Harry Block: Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Nadine: Um, Professor, the little wiggly worm things in there are breaking.
Harry Block: Ira, look.
Ira Kane: Yeah. It's not breaking, it's splitting. It's mitosis. That's how they reproduce!
Harry Block: No sex?
Ira Kane: No time for sex.
Nadine: Bummer.
[They are admiring a ten-legged creature with heads at both ends]
Harry Block: Is it coming or it going? - The tree just ate it!
Ira Kane: Everything down here seems to be food for something else, so let's try to stay off the menu, huh?
Harry Block: Got that right. Ooops!
[Block sees that he has stepped on a multi-legged creature. At once, alien insects descend like ants upon the mess and begin feasting]
Harry Block: Ira! Come here, look at these little things!
Ira Kane: Oh, cool! Great. Snag one!
Harry Block: Snag one?
Ira Kane: Yeah. Snag one and put them in the bucket!
Harry Block: I seen this movie, the black dude dies first. YOU snag it!
Ira Kane: Aw, don't be scared. Come on, we came for a specimen. Now snag one! Come on. Not gonna hurt you. Look, he's turned the other way. He's eating.
Harry Block: Come on, come on, my widdle red lobster. Come on, my sexy little crustracean. Come on...
Ira Kane: You're gonna be all right, buddy! Cut him open, let's get this thing!
Harry Block: CUT ME OPEN! There goes your Christmas gift, Judas!
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: I didn't know you were coming to see the show, sir.
Governor Lewis: Well, you damn well better make it a good one, Sergeant!
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: That's General.
Governor Lewis: Not if you screw this up.
Harry Block: Keep your chin up. You know she wanted to give you some, don't you?
Ira Kane: Were you even in that courtroom?
Harry Block: Getting barbecued like baby back ribs? It's all foreplay, baby.
[they return to their lab, to find the door broken in, and all their work stolen]
Ira Kane: Oh, we've been hit!
Harry Block: Forget the foreplay. We just got screwed!
[the Governor and science teams watch while an alien primate smashes the command site's video monitor cameras]
Carla: They just took out 6 and 7.
Lt. Cryer: All the monitors are down!
Governor Lewis: Well, that can't be good!
[a rumbling is heard]
Ira Kane: That's the elevator.
Col. Flemming: We have no personnel down there.
Dr. Allison Reed: They've breached the airlock.
Governor Lewis: [incredulously] What, the fuzzy no-nosed chimp?
Dr. Allison Reed: At this rate, they will take over Glen Canyon in three days. In a week, the rest of Arizona. Within two months, the United States will officially belong to them. And we are extinct.
Governor Lewis: Oh, you gotta be shittin' me!
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: No need to play the blame game here, Allison. No harm, no foul. Suffice it to say that we're all very appreciative of the discovery made by Dr. Kane and Mr. Black...
Harry Block: Block!
[Kane and Block disguise themselves as a colonel and a private to sneak into the military base]
Harry Block: I still don't understand why you get to be colonel and I'm just a private.
Ira Kane: I WAS a colonel.
Harry Block: Yeah, and you obviously served your country with distinction.
Ira Kane: You should be thankful, the penalty for impersonating an officer is five years in prison.
Harry Block: Maybe for you, white boy. Me, they hang.
Harry Block: There's a fly in my suit!
[as Allison introduces herself, she trips and falls, and her skirt rides up]
Ira Kane: A garter belt? At a day function?
[Ira moons General Woodman]
Ira Kane: Fruit basket for Russell Woodman!
Dr. Allison Reed: Your Honor, if the Court would allow me to depose Dr. Kane?
Ira Kane: Depose *me*?
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: Oh, we think your past is very relevant, Doctor Kane. These issues speak directly to his competence as a scientist.
Ira Kane: Dr. Kane, you were a top-level researcher at USAMRIID from '94 to '97, were you not?
Dr. Allison Reed: Yes, that's correct.
Ira Kane: And you were summarily dismissed in the summer of 1997. Any idea why?
Ira Kane: My services were no longer required?
Ira Kane: Uh-huh. So, in your opinion, your firing had nothing to do with an experimental anthrax vaccine that you developed and administered to nearly 140,000 U.S. soldiers in May of that year?
Dr. Allison Reed: [leans in and whispers, smiling] I see where you're going with this.
Dr. Allison Reed: It may have been a factor, you'd have to ask the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Ira Kane: I'll make a note to do that. But for now, can you tell me what happened to the soldiers who were inoculated with your vaccine?
Ira Kane: Well, uh, none of them got anthrax, if that's what you're asking.
Dr. Allison Reed: What did they get?
Ira Kane: Um, well, as with any new vaccine, there were certain side effects associated with it.
Dr. Allison Reed: Could you be more specific?
Ira Kane: Well, it was a wide range of things, it's very technical, I'd hate to waste the court's time getting into it right now.
Dr. Allison Reed: Humor me.
Ira Kane: Some debilitating stomach cramps... severe diarrhea... memory loss.
Dr. Allison Reed: Yes? Go on. Any more symptoms?
[Harry is looking mortified and shocked at the defense table]
Ira Kane: Partial facial paralysis, temporary blindness, drooling, bleeding gums, erectile dysfunction, uncontrollable flatulence. I think that's it.
Dr. Allison Reed: One more question. Do you happen to remember what the soldiers called this illness, Doctor Kane?
Ira Kane: Yeah. They called it "The Kane Madness."
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: We evacuate, make it safe, and then we burn the alien menace right the hell out of there.
Dr. Allison Reed: With what?
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: With napalm. Lots and lots of napalm.
Ira Kane: Napalm? Why don't you just nuke 'em while you're at it?
Col. Flemming: [with an eager grin] What about nukes?
[Woodman starts thinking about it]
Governor Lewis: Pull your horns in there, boys! Nobody's dropping an H-bomb on my state!
Ira Kane: Let's shampoo us some aliens!
Governor Lewis: I oughta throw the whole goddamn, jacked-up bunch of you in prison. No, not that cushy federal place with the loose jumpsuits. *State prison*... with the crotch binders!
Harry Block: Ira, are you sure you can handle this on your lonesome?
Harry Block: [on finding a dead alien] That dog is all ass!
[after having Ira and Harry thrown out of the base]
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: Don't you have work to do?
Dr. Allison Reed: You are such an asshole!
[She storms off]
Col. Flemming: You know, when a woman expresses anger, it's often because she...
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: Shut up.
Harry Block: Hey, beneath this calm, sexy exterior beats the heart of a true scientist!
Harry Block: [after the alien flying dragon's birth in back of the housing development] It's flying away! Is that a bad thing?
Ira Kane: Only if you're a human being.
Governor Lewis: Put a plug in it, I'm not interested in your bureaucratic crap-ola!
Deke Donald: Blue monkey! Blue monkey!
[first lines]
[At night, Wayne drives out to a shack in the desert and places a mannequin inside it. He is wearing a yellow fireman's coat, without a fire department's name on it]
Wayne Grey: Despite all the warnings, she was smoking in bed, fell asleep. Bad move.
[He sloshes gasoline inside the shack and strikes a match]
Wayne Grey: And the fire begins. Showtime!
[Hollering in fake excitement, he charges into the shack]
Wayne Grey: Don't worry, ma'am, I'm here to save you!
[He pulls the mannequin out, then shouts to an imaginary crowd:]
Wayne Grey: Keep those people back! This is an emergency!
[He dumps the mannequin on the ground, pulls his coat off, and pretends to start CPR]
Wayne Grey: Don't you dare die on me! Breathe, dammit, breathe! She's gonna make it! She's gonna make it!
[Looking up triumphantly to the imaginary crowd, he sees the asteroid in the night sky, heading straight toward him]
Wayne Grey: What the - ?
[When Ira first examines the microorganisms from the meteorite, the computer's DNA analysis reads: 4 Base Pairs: DNA Terrestrial. 10 Base Pairs: DNA Unknown]
Ira Kane: [stunned] Ten base pairs. That can't be.
[In the courtroom]
Judge Guilder: Dr. Kane, are you asking me to bar the Federal Government from involvement in a discovery as significant as this one?
Ira Kane: No, no, no. Not at all. We're asking you to make sure that the local scientists who actually made the discovery continue to play a significant role.
Harry Block: They kept us out for almost two weeks! And we put our lives on the line to find these little guys, Your Majesty! We just want to be there for them, as they grow up.
[He accidentally slaps Kane in the face, as though knowing Kane was going to correct him to say "Your Honor."]
Ira Kane: We were the first team at the meteor site, and all the initial testing was done in our lab, Judge.
Brigadier Gen. Russell Woodman: The facilities at Glen Canyon Community College are jokes.
Judge Guilder: They weren't a joke when I went there, General.
[the General looks shifty-eyed and embarrassed]
[Kane and Block have sneaked into the Army Compound]
Harry Block: Ooh. Your girlfriend, eleven-o'clock.
[Allison drops her files, as Kane turns to look]
Dr. Allison Reed: Oh, darn it.
Ira Kane: That woman is a menace.
[In the meteorite crater]
Ira Kane: This place has changed.
Harry Block: Can you believe this?
Ira Kane: Harry, look at that! Our little babies are growing up. Three weeks, it's already like a rain forest in here.
Harry Block: Eww. Looks like the kitchen from my first apartment.
[the alien creature turns around to reveal what looks like spherical buttocks]
Harry Block: [grinning] Ira, look at that backside! Theater in the round. That's the kind of trunk space you want in a late-model car. Who does that remind you of?
Ira Kane: I've no idea what you're talking about.
Harry Block: She's been throwing it at you enough.
Ira Kane: [incredulously] Dr. Reed?
Harry Block: Bull's-eye.
[Cut to the Ops Room]
Lt. Cryer: Excuse me, Dr. Reed, did you authorize a walk-through?
Dr. Allison Reed: No. Why?
Lt. Cryer: Um, you should probably take a look at something. Here.
[On the computer screen, they see and hear Block teasing:]
Harry Block: That's the kind of rump you want to roast! The kind of muffin you'd like to butter!
Ira Kane: That is, that is a nice image. And I appreciate your assumption that there is an actual sexual human being underneath all Dr. Reed's deep-seated neuroses, but I don't think so.
Harry Block: What?
Ira Kane: Yeah. I think she is a humorless ice queen.
[Lieutenant Cryer has interrupted the briefing of the Governor to call attention to the command site's video monitors]
Governor Lewis: [angrily] All right, what's going on down there?
[Another video monitor reveals a Bigfoot-like creature skulking toward the camera with a menacing expression]
Ira Kane: My God. They've evolved into primates.
Wayne Grey: Aughh. Now, that's a face for radio!
Ira Kane: You sure this leads to the main cavern?
Harry Block: It'll definitely lead us somewhere. Geology is not an exact science.

Was watching a best in show once and one of the comments was that German Shepherds were the ONLY breed that are ref'd to as dog...as an official breed name....they are not just german shepherds, but German Shepherd Dog " as someone else already pointed out this is not so , and I would add Australian Cattle Dog , American Eskimo Dog, Anatolian Shepherd Dog, even Swiss Mountain Dog, the White House dog Portuguese Water Dog. No wonder they did the comedy movie "Best In Show" |

Yeah also Bernese Mountain Dog-- well really all the mountain dogs, bulldogs, sheepdogs, etc have "dog" in the name.
Many other breeds have 'dog' but in another language like Cane Corso, Shiba Inu, those with "hund" in the name, and so on... Other breeds that don't have the word 'dog' in the name often have words for a type of dog in their name instead which is almost the same thing-- like Dogo Argentino, Dogue de Boredeaux, Mastiff breeds, Terriers, Hounds, etc... Actually I thought in at least some of the kennel clubs they are called Belgian Shepherd Dogs or Belgian Sheepdogs so it is part of the breed name?

In the UKC breed standards there are 29 breeds that end in the word "dog". I did not even count ones that ended in the word "dog" in another language. So no, the German Shepherd Dog is not the only breed that ends in "dog".

No kidding! For that matter, you should see and hear the way people butcher Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu... it's downright comical at times, when I get phone calls asking if I can make an appointment for their "Jipsu" or "Lapso apsu". I asked one client if she could repeat, because I wasn't sure if I heard her right. She snottily repeated the name, carefully sounding out the syllables, "LAHP - so - AHP - zoo" as though I was the ignorant one.

The German Shepherd is a man, the German Shepherd Dog is a dog.
Though, in the US most people know that when you are talking about a German Shepherd, you are talking about a dog, but in Germany they add the "dog" so people know you are not talking about a shepherd. LOL!

I'm laughing about removing the "redundant" word from other breeds. Australian Cattle has a whole different connotation than Australian Cattle Dog (much like German shepherd vs. German Shepherd Dog). Or if we switch species, should we start calling American Quarter Horses "Quarters"?

I've been involved with GSDs for just over 60 years. They have always been referred to as German Shepherd DOGS - not German Shepherds. I honestly don't know the facts about the origin but I believe that is the way Max von Stephanitz named them. To him they were a German Shepherd - DOG. That's the best I can do!!

The name of the German Shepherd Dog was changed to Alsatian and Wolf Dog and then back to German.
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. - Unknown |

Testing Traffic Manager Settings
Updated: April 14, 2015
The best way to test your Traffic Manager settings is to set up a number of clients and then bring the endpoints, consisting of cloud services and websites, in your profile down one at a time. The following tips will help you test your Traffic Manager profile.
Set the DNS TTL very low so that changes will propagate quickly - 30 seconds, for example.
Know the IP addresses of your Azure cloud services and websites in the profile you are testing.
Use tools that let you resolve a DNS name to an IP address and display that address. You are checking to see that your company domain name resolves to IP addresses of the endpoints in your profile. They should resolve in a manner consistent with the load balancing method of your Traffic Manager profile. If you are on a computer running Windows, you can use the Nslookup.exe tool from a command or Windows PowerShell prompt. Other publicly available tools that allow you to "dig" an IP address are also readily available on the Internet.
Open a command or Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator.
ipconfig /flushdns
to flush the DNS resolver cache. -
nslookup <your Traffic Manager domain name>
. For example, the following command checks the domain name with the prefix myapp.contosonslookup myapp.contoso.trafficmanager.net
A typical result will show the following:
The DNS name and IP address of the DNS server being accessed to resolve this Traffic Manager domain name.
The Traffic Manager domain name you typed on the command line after "nslookup" and the IP address to which the Traffic Manager domain resolves. The second IP address is the important one to check. It should match a public virtual IP (VIP) address for one of the cloud services or websites in the Traffic Manager profile you are testing.
The DNS name and IP address of the DNS server being accessed to resolve this Traffic Manager domain name.
Leave all endpoints up.
Use a single client.
Request DNS resolution for your company domain name using the Nslookup.exe tool or a similar utility.
Ensure that the resolved IP address your obtain is for your primary endpoint
Bring your primary endpoint down or remove the monitoring file so that Traffic Manager thinks it's down.
Wait for the DNS Time-to-Live (TTL) of the Traffic Manager profile plus an additional 2 minutes. For example, if your DNS TTL is 300 seconds (5 minutes), you must wait for 7 minutes.
Flush your DNS client cache and request DNS resolution. In Windows, you can flush your DNS cache with the
ipconfig /flushdns
command issued at a command or Windows PowerShell prompt. -
Ensure that the IP address you obtain is for your secondary endpoint.
Repeat the process, bringing down the secondary endpoint and then the tertiary and so on. Each time, be sure that the DNS resolution returns the IP address of the next endpoint in the list. When all endpoints are down, you should obtain the IP address of the primary endpoint again.
Leave all endpoints up.
Use a single client.
Request DNS resolution for your company domain using the Nslookup.exe tool or a similar utility.
Ensure that the IP address you obtain is one of those in your list.
Flush your DNS client cache and repeat steps 3 and 4 over and over. You should see different IP addresses returned for each of your endpoints. Then, the process will repeat.
To effectively test a performance load balancing method, you must have clients located in different parts of the world. You could create clients in Azure that will attempt to call your services via your company domain name. Alternatively, if your corporation is global, you can remotely log into clients in other parts of the world and test from those clients.
There are free web-based DNS lookup and dig services available. Some of these give you the ability to check DNS name resolution from various locations. Do a search on "DNS lookup" for examples. Another option is to use a third-party solution like Gomez or Keynote to confirm that your profiles are distributing traffic as expected.

Oso, the brown bear that took up residence atop a towering evergreen in Lincoln Park earlier this week, has moved on.
The male bear lumbered down the tree on its own at about 4:15 a.m. on Thursday. But the story doesn't end there.
City crews, eager to haul away the barricades that had been set up to keep people away, spooked the bear, causing him to run back up the same tree, state Game & Fish spokesman Clint Henson said.
A statewide organization that works to end homelessness honored state Rep. Tomás Salazar with its Elected Official of the Year Award last week.
The Coalition to End Homelessness presented the award to Salazar at its annual conference in Albuquerque on April 9.
In February, the Mora school board approved a one-year contract extension for Superintendent Dora Romero, but she may just find herself in the unemployment line anyway when her current contract expires in June.
During a board meeting on Tuesday newly elected board members Dennis Romero and Tranquilino Hurtado voted to rescind the previous board's contract extension. They were joined by board Chairman George A. Trujillo.

Torrance County Republican Ted Barela is the newest member of the New Mexico Senate.
He was sworn in Friday during a ceremony at the Estancia Community Center.
Barela fills the seat left vacant by the abrupt resignation of Democrat Phil Griego during the final week of the recent 60-day legislative session.
Griego, who resides in San Miguel County, held the Senate District 39 seat for more than 18 years. His resignation stemmed from an ethics issue over his role in the sale of a state-owned building in Santa Fe.
The annual Fourth of July Fiestas are more than two months away, but planning for the event is already in full swing.
And unlike the past few years where the city fireworks display was cancelled due to extreme drought condition, this year's Fiestas will feature a municipal fireworks display.
City events planner Annette Velarde briefed the governing body on the planning for the Fiestas during last week's Council meeting.
Mora County was looking for national attention when it adopted its community rights ordinance two years ago, and it certainly got it. But this may not be the type of attention the county had in mind.
A Charlottesville, Va., organization that strives to draw national attention to egregious attacks on the First Amendment by handing out anti-censorship awards every year has selected Mora County as one of this year's recipients for the dubious honor.

Virginia Duran and her husband, Ron, take seriously their responsibility to care for God's land.
They consider the little ribbon of the Gallinas River that runs through their property a small piece of heaven on earth, and they care for it that way. With both a spiritual and social connection to the land, the Durans live with the sometimes temperamental Gallinas River in their back yard. They adapt to its ebb and flow and its meanderings.
Melody Perez is on a mission to share her love of art with others and to inspire others to pick up a paint brush.
Perez, owner of Running Horses Studio, has opened up her studio located on the Plaza for art classes. This Friday starting at 6:30 p.m. Perez will offer a "Paint Out" class featuring a field of poppies.
Perez said she believes everyone has a creative side to them and by attending a "Paint Out" class it will allow people to step away from the realities of the world while exploring their creative side.

Jill Mooney recently took out a $300 loan from a storefront business to get out of a financial jam, putting up her $1,400 car as collateral.
The Albuquerque mother of four thought it would take roughly three, $100-a-month payments to be done with the loan. But it took seven months, and the interest rate ended up being more than 200 percent.
"They take advantage of you," said Mooney of the loan outlets.

Is your furniture in stock or do I have to wait for it?
One of the foundations that Walker's has been built on is to have readily available furniture. We generally have about 90% of our furniture in stock so that you don't have to wait.
Are you locally owned?
Yes. Walker's first began as a small store in Spokane. Although we have grown to include stores throughout Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northern Oregon areas, we are committed to maintaining that small store feel while at the same time giving you the benefits of big store discounts.
Do you offer any type of discounts for purchasing multiple items?
Although we are committed to having the most competitive prices you will find, we also feel you should be rewarded for purchasing multiple items. We believe that the more you buy from us, the more you should save. We offer discounted package prices for bedroom sets, dining sets, living room sets, and entertainment sets just to name a few. Our sales staff is trained and committed to working with you so that you receive the savings you deserve.
What is your return policy?
At Walker's, we understand that many times you will not know if the item is right until you get it into your home. For that reason we offer a 10 day return policy. If the item is not a good match for your home, you will be fully reimbursed for the price you paid for that specific item as long as it is returned to us within 10 days of when you received it. This is assuming of course, that we receive the item back from you in the same condition that you received it from us. You will still be responsible for any delivery fees that may be applicable. As is floor model items are also excluded from this policy.
Do you match prices from other furniture stores?
We are committed to having the lowest every day prices you will find, but if you do discover an identical item (same manufacturer and model number) we will certainly match that same price. This is valid only if you find this item in our local retail market (Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northern Oregon) and a price quote must be presented to one of our sales associates that includes the item and store information. Price matching is only valid for new purchases and/or purchases that are up to 10 days old.
Do you offer a military discount?
We greatly appreciate the service of the men and women of our armed forces and we enjoy giving back to them. We offer an additional 5% discount on top of any sale, promotion, or special pricing we may be running. A military identification card must be presented. See a sales associate for further information. Tempur-Pedic, iSeries, and iComfort mattresses are excluded due to pricing restrictions from the manufacturer.
What if I want to purchase an item but don't need it for awhile?
We have a large distribution center in Spokane where we can hold your furniture for up to sixty days. After sixty days, we ask that you pick up or have your furniture delivered. If circumstances arrive so that this is not possible, please contact your sales associate to discuss further options.
Does your living room furniture come in any other colors?
It depends on the specific item you are interested in. Some of the manufacturers we carry have hundreds of special order options where others only make it one specific way. Contact our sales staff for further information.
How long of a wait is it for special orders?
Your wait time for special orders will vary depending on the manufacturer it is being ordered from. Some special orders we receive as quickly as two weeks where others can take much longer. Please contact your sales associate for your specific special order wait time.
What do I need to do to get a special order started?
At the time of your special order, we require at least a 20% deposit. The 20% deposit is non-refundable once the order is placed. After we receive your furniture, you will need to pay any remaining balance in full upon pick up or prior to setting up a delivery date.
What happens if I cancel my special order?
If circumstances arise so that you need to cancel a special order, you will receive a full refund minus the 20% non-refundable deposit you paid.
Where is the furniture that you carry made?
It depends on the specific item you are interested in. Much of the furniture that we carry is made right here in the US where as some of it is imported from all over the world. No matter where we are getting our furniture from, we make sure we bring in only the best quality at the best possible price.
What is the typical lifespan of a mattress?
Most mattress experts suggest you should replace your mattress every 7 to 10 years to maintain your optimum sleep levels. Of course, lower quality mattresses may not last that long and higher quality mattresses may last even longer.
What are the mattress brands you carry?
We currently stock a large variety of Serta iAmerica, Enso, Serta Bellagio, Serta iSeries, Serta iComfort, and Tempur-Pedic. Our mattress collections will give you a large selection of price range along with numerous mattress types such as firm, medium, soft, ultra soft, innerspring, memory foam, hybrid, gel infused, latex and adjustable mattresses. Whatever your mattress needs may be, we are sure to have what is right for you.
What types of accessories do you carry?
We stock thousands of accessories so that you can find the right piece(s) to add that special touch to your home. Just to name a few we carry lamps, rugs, wall décor, table top décor, and comforter sets.
Do you charge for delivery?
All of our stores have a $69 local delivery charge. This is a flat rate no matter how many items you are having delivered. Our delivery service includes assembly of all items, bringing the furniture into your home, and removing all packaging material. The charge for out of town deliveries will vary. Contact any of our sales staff for further information.
Will the delivery drivers pick up and take away my old furniture?
Due to the fact that there is limited space on our trucks, we do not take away old furniture for the exception of certain mattress sets. Many of our stores partner with local charities, however, who will gladly pick up most anything you no longer have a need for. Contact our sales staff for further information.
Do you deliver to Seattle, Canada, or Montana?
At the current time we are not set up to make deliveries in those areas, however, we do deliver into some areas of Western Washington and up to the Canadian and Montana borders.
Can you ship items all over the country?
Generally we do not ship items that go further than our delivery radius of Eastern Washington, Northern Oregon, and Northern Idaho. We will ship items outside of that radius with the mutual understanding that you are responsible for all shipping costs and any damage that may occur to the furniture while it is being shipped.
Walker's Furniture offers the best furniture selection in the Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northern Oregon area.

The decision is the latest delay in Twin Cities-area hospital expansions.
The nation's credit crunch is forcing the University of Minnesota Medical Center to delay construction of a $200 million building for outpatient care.
The Ambulatory Care Center is the biggest local medical-construction project so far to fall victim to the economy. The joint project by Fairview Health Services and the University of Minnesota Physicians called for a five-story structure with 300,000 square feet on what now is a surface parking lot on the university campus.
The building was to have housed clinics, outpatient surgery, outpatient chemotherapy, labs, imaging and a pharmacy. The project partners now say they will not start construction in spring as planned. Instead, they hope to revisit the idea in fall and start building in spring 2010.
"The plan is still in place," said Fairview spokesperson Ryan Davenport.
In an internal memo, leaders of the partner organizations blamed "a rapidly weakening economy, restricted access to capital, investment losses and the significant increase in the cost of debt."
Fairview, like other health systems, has experienced rapid growth in outpatient activity as new technology makes day surgeries routine for some eye, orthopedic and gynecological procedures.
Deferring the new building will mean devising stopgap measures. Fairview had intended to move some adult medical services into the new building from its Riverside campus, where it is building a new $175 million children's hospital. It also intended to move some clinics now in the Phillips Wangensteen Building on the university campus.
"We have directed our leadership teams to evaluate alternative short-term plans and actions to accommodate this change," said the memo from Frank Cerra, senior vice president of health sciences at the University of Minnesota, Fairview chief executive Mark Eustis and Roby Thompson, chief executive of University of Minnesota Physicians.
Hospitals depend heavily on the bond market to raise money for new construction and equipment, and Fairview isn't the only one hurting from the credit crunch.
Last month, Healtheast said it would delay spending $68 million to expand St. John's Hospital in Maplewood. It also delayed spending more than $100 million to expand Woodwinds Health Campus in Woodbury.
In addition, four of the Twin Cities' major hospital groups -- Allina, Fairview, North Memorial and Park Nicollet -- have cut a total of more than 1,000 jobs in recent months because of the weak economy.

This topic shows you how to use server-side scripts to authorize users. In this tutorial, you register scripts with Azure Mobile Services, filter queries based on user IDs, and give users access to only their own data.
This tutorial is based on the Mobile Services Quick Start and builds on the Add Authentication to Existing Mobile Services App tutorial. Please complete Add Authentication to Existing Mobile Services App first.
Log on to the Azure Management Portal, click Mobile Services, and then click on your mobile service. Click the Data tab, then click the TodoItem table.
Click Script, then select the Insert operation.
Replace the existing script with the following function, and then click Save. This script adds the user ID of the authenticated user to the item before insertion.
function insert(item, user, request) { item.userId = user.userId; request.execute(); }
Dynamic schema must be enabled for this to work. This setting is enabled by default for new mobile services.
Similarly, replace the existing Read operation with the following function. This script filters returned TodoItem objects so that a user receives only the items that they insert themselves.
function read(query, user, request) { query.where({ userId: user.userId }); request.execute(); }
Notice that when you now run your client-side app, although there are items already in the TodoItem table from previous tutorials, no items are returned. This happens because previous items were inserted without the user ID column and now have null values. Verify newly added items have an associated userId value in the TodoItem table.
If you have additional login accounts, verify that users can only see their own data by closing and deleting the app and running it again. When the login credentials dialog is displayed, enter a different login and verify that items entered under the previous login are not displayed.

You don't necessarily have to use a web service, but you need some sort of interface. You can, for example, use the JDBC apis and your DBMS's JDBC driver.
Thanks You jonbonazza. Can You Please Give Me Any Tutorial About This And Told Me The LINK I Can Download And Instal The JDBC Driver And (How To Use It)
Have you tried searching on stackoverflow? There are many good tutorials and links there. I can't post a link here, because I'm new memeber. But try this link - stackoverflow[dot]com / a / 10829223
Thank You Kirumbik I read alot of tutorials from stackoverflow but something goes wrong in every tutorial i read with knowledge i add a permission to the manifest to access the internet and add the jars file to the build path and still not working yet
The JDBC is is a java library, so it is not Android specific. Any JDBC tutorial should work. Here is one: JDBC - Sample, Example Code step 2 in the tutorial will be different depending on what DBMS you are using. Can you provide this information?

Yum! I got black rice, scallops, water chestnuts, broccoli, and white cheddar. Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my GF questions. I'll eat here again. P.S. Not in Ashley Furniture shopping center like GPS said. Further down Cap. Circle.
Love knowing that if your are a vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or just want something different 1 Fresh is your go to store. With two locations you are always close to something great to eat that will not kill you. Give it a try and if you are not sure just call the owner his number is 850-443-5808 and is always available to chat.
Good food and Staff was very Knowledgable! Doesn't get much better than that! The manager came and talked to me and guided me in the direction of what to get. Quinoa with lemon pepper shrimp, red and green peppers, corn, onions and garlic! So yummy!
Great food and a friendly, knowledgable staff! Gluten free suggestions listed right on the main menu.

My daughter is severely sensitive to gluten.. I made them completely aware of how severe. they said they would wipe everything done. she got VERY sick. I do not recommend at all.

Big fan of 1 fresh. Bill is the owner, and he is right Robin if you got gluten then you ordered it. Quinoa, Bob sauce with my veggies raw is just amazing.

The only way Robin could get gluten at 1 Fresh is if she ordered it. 1 Fresh is the only restaurant in Tallahassee that will make you your food the way you want it. Not just talking about the ingredients McDonalds does that but what goes into those ingredients that is the difference between 1 Fresh and all the rest. Just ask or call the owner his number is on everything really cool.
