Mr Hitchcock, what is your definition of happiness?

A clear horizon, nothing to worry about on your plate.

Only things that are creative and not destructive.

when that's within yourself, within me I can't bear quarreling I can't bare feelings between

people.

I think hatred is wasted energy.

It's all nonproductive.

I'm very sensitive.

A sharp word said by say a person who has a temper if they're close to me hurts me

for days.

I know we're only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative

emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear

ahead and now you're going to create something.

I think that's as happy as I would ever want to be.

Halt and Catch Fire: 'New Hire' Sneak Peek Ep. 404 - Duration: 1:27.

How do you organize your CDs?

Well, my, um, my brother is really into metal,

and I helped him manage his collection.

I put all of the death-metal CDs on one shelf,

from the simple bands, like Obituary

and Cannibal Corpse, on the left,

to melodic and technical death in the middle,

followed by death black and grind death

and other death crossovers.

And then I put the industrial death,

folk death, and barely death at the end.

A-And then the next shelf was for black metal,

through the whole Norwegian scene, like Mayhem and Burzum,

through the unblack

and then the not-really-black- but-sort-of-fits,

like Cradle of Filth.

And, oh -- Do -- Um, do you want me to keep going?

That I -- There's Raunchy Power, so --

No. That's perfect. Raunchy Power?

Most people just alphabetize.

You sure this was your brother's collection?

Okay. One final thing.

How would you list a website about barks?

Depends if you mean dog noise, tree layer,

uh, root beer -- that's "Barq's," with a "Q,"

or boat.

B-Bark is a boat? Mm-hmm.

Uh, technically it's a sailing ship of three or more masts.

We don't even know the answer to our own trick quesiton.

Dr. Katie Herman, you are officially hired

as Comet's chief ontologist.

Perfect. [Chuckles]

BREAKING: Trump Issues Jaw-Dropping Warning to GOP | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:22.

On Friday, President Donald Trump had some choice words for Senate Republicans.

The president took to his Twitter to urge GOP lawmakers to remove the filibuster rule.

He said,

"If Senate Republicans don't get rid of the Filibuster Rule and go to a 51% majority,

few bills will be passed.

8 Dems control the Senate!"

A filibuster occurs when a minority of Senators attempt to delay or block a vote on a particular

bill.

It is a way for them to obstruct a vote being put forth by the majority party.

If senators refuse to hold a vote on a bill, the Senate will have to override them by holding

a "cloture vote" which would stop the debate on the bill and move them to a final

vote.

As it stands, 60 votes are required to invoke cloture, which means the Democrats can continue

to obstruct the GOP's agenda in Congress.

Since it is clear that the Democrats intend to impede any initiative championed by the

GOP, it may become necessary change the current filibuster rule.

If they change the rule to require only a simple majority in order to invoke cloture,

it will be easier for Republicans to overrule the Democrats' obstructionist efforts.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), has repeatedly stated that he will not change

the filibuster rule.

In April, he said, "There's not a single senator in the majority who thinks we ought

to change the legislative filibuster.

Not one."

McConnell was willing to change the rules to approve the appointment of Neil Gorsuch

to the Supreme Court.

The problem is that Republican lawmakers have not been able to successfully implement President

Trump's agenda because they are not able to garner enough votes.

This is one of the reasons why the GOP has not been able to repeal and replace the Affordable

Care Act.

The relationship between President Trump and Majority Leader McConnell has become strained

in the past month with both men trading barbs.

On Twitter, the president stated,

"The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal & Replace for

7 years, he failed!

That should NEVER have happened!"

McConnell has repeatedly criticized the president's use of Twitter and his stance on free trade.

He said, "The assumption that every free-trade agreement is a loser for America is largely

untrue.

But we've got a selling job to do and of course in agriculture, there's nothing more

important than trade."

President Trump urges Senate Republicans to get rid of the Filibuster Rule and go to a

51% majority.

Should they get rid of the rule?

There are many who fear that if McConnell does not push to change the filibuster rule,

the Democrats will when they have control of the Senate.

Additionally, pushing through legislation has been a major challenge for the GOP.

The reality is that the Democrats are not going to cease their efforts to stymie the

efforts of Republican lawmakers — and this means that Congress will not be able to get

much done.

While it is desirable to place a high bar for debate on controversial issues in the

Senate, it has also prevented Congress from being as productive as they could be.

Making progress means making tough decisions, and the GOP must either change the rule, or

find other ways to to move forward.

Should Senate Republicans get rid of the filibuster rule?

Hello Jadoo Season 1 Episode 30 My Scary Grandma - Duration: 10:54.

Students, please turn to page 12 in your social studies textbook.

Find the section about family ettiquette!

We will be studying about the topic of manners for today.

Who burped?

It was Choi Jadoo!

Jadoo, you again?

How many times have I told you to not bring food outside of lunch hour?

Stand in the back!

Sorry, I didn't have much time to eat today. My bad.

Well, you should have managed your time during that hour. You could've had a longer time eating.

Hurry to the back right now!

Yes..

My Scary Grandma

Oh mother-in-law, there was no need of you to bring all of this.

I can't believe you actually got that cake from Europe.

Mom, we're-

Kids, give a warm welcome

to your grandmother over here.

Ah, my babies have grown up so much these years.

Thanks?....

Ah, that hit the spot!

I agree.

Me too, me too!

Mom, mind if we have some of the cake our grandmother bought?

Are your plates really clean?

Of course!

Wow, it's strawberry, my favorite!

Just look at the icing!

Kids, are you really sure it's time for dessert?

Well, we're done eating, so yeah.

I don't know. Maybe give your stomach a rest before eating some cake.

But I'm not THAT full, Grandma.

So are we!

Let's see your bowls, then.

I wonder how many grains are left in Jadoo's bowl.

1,2,3,4...oh my!

There are so many!

Are you really sure you finished your dinner?

I guess...

You should never develop such a poor eating habit.

You can have a piece of cake once you finish your rice, okay?

Yes...

Come on. There's not much left, and it's really tasty!

And we don't want to see poor eating habits from our daughter, right?

I don't care! I still want cake!

Listen, you can finish your food and have cake or you can eat nothing at all.

Ha! I won't listen to your silly threats!

The cake is mine!

You won't get away with this you-!

The next day...

Jadoo, you look kind of drowsy today. How come?

I think my grandma is watching every move I make.

Why?

It's like she can just take over my house and put up new rules.

Jadoo, shouldn't you eat your soybeans? They're good for you.

Wow, is that sausage I see?

Mind if I have a bite or two?...

Yeah, sure... What are friends for?

Thanks a lot. You're a true friend.

I'm home!

Don't make so much noise when coming in!

She didn't eat her soybeans again?

What's wrong?

This has been the third time Jadoo did not finish her lunch box this week.

We got to fix that.

Well I...

Think it's a good idea!

Okay.

In my tears! Woah-oh-oh...

Kids!

Huh?

What are you 3 watching?

A pop singer? Why do you ask?

You call that singing? More like screaming his butt off from flames!

It'd be pretty embarrassing to see you 3 scream like that in public!

No! Fighting is not good for children!

I can't let you 3 see stuff like this anymore!

Grandma, what are you doing?

No!

Isn't there anything calm and not-so dramatic on TV these days?

The sound of tranquility.

Just like a natural hot springs in Korea.

Should make you feel calm and collected.

Perfect!

This should make you feel tranquil and safe.

Grandchildren, I hope you're having-

Gasp!

Transform! Robot King!

Grandma?

THIS WASN'T THE CHANNEL I PUT ON FOR YOU 3!

W-well...

Jadoo, change the channel right now!

If you don't hurry up sooner, then you won't have dinner tonight.

In the name of justice! Robot king! Punch!

Oh, that's too bad.

I guess there's only one more thing to do to turn you into a proper lady.

Jadoo, you're going to pay!

Untie me, Grandma!

I don't leave behind a child who does not behave properly.

I never knew my waist support wrap would be this effective!

Nice try! You really think you can get yourself out of this one?

Choi Jadoo! Stop right there!

No, I need some fresh air!

Stop right there!

Where did she hide?

Jadoo, I apologize about my immature actions earlier. Let's head home now.

No! I am not going home, let alone with you!

Your mom and dad make dinner. You like to eat, don't you?

I don't care! I just don't want to see you!

Jadoo, do you really think I try too hard on you?

Yes! I can't stand it!

Jadoo...

But that's my way of saying I love you.

Mother-in-law, shouldn't you be in bed by now?

Yeah, but let me stay with Jadoo a little longer. You go on ahead though.

Mother-in-law...

A day later...

Mom, where's Grandma?

She's at the train station with your father ready to leave Seoul.

Really? She left?

Yay! That's great!

Are you really that happy because Grandma left?

Yes! Now I can have a little rice uneaten on my plate and watch any TV channel I want!

She was like that because she used to be an etiquette teacher and a babysitter many years ago.

Was Grandma both an etiquette teacher and a babysitter?

Yes. She may seem kind of intimidating at first

But she always has a place in heart for you.

Oh, you're funny.

You kids think that people who act friendly and kind with a smile on their face mean that they truely love you.

When you were born, Grandma was the first to know and she was very excited to hear the news.

She was so overjoyed that she danced a little at the hospital.

Grandma...danced?

Yeah. She always like to show her feelings once the time is right.

She will always love you, even if she is a bit mean.

I remember last night when she came to make you feel better when you had a nasty cold.

Weren't you the one who helped me?

No. I always do it for you, so I let my mother-in-law give it a shot of giving you hospitality.

Ah. That was great!

But that's my way of saying I love you.

Grandma...

I don't accept! Boris Johnson launches attack on Michel Barnier over shock Brexit bill

The BBC host, Mishal Husain, quizzed Mr Johnson over his "go whistle" remarks towards the EU before the Foreign Secretary took a dig at Michel Barnier.

  Speaking on BBC Radio 4's programme, Mr Johnson claimed suggestions the UK may have to pay £100billion to exit the European Union was not a figure he "recognised" He added: "I think that some of the sums I have seen seem to be very high and of course we will meet our obligating we are law abiding bill paying people.

  "The UK has contributed hundreds of billions over the years to the EU. The host stepped in asking whether the he was comfortable with the "UK having to pay" to exit the  and "settling obligations" as Mr Barnier calls it.

Mr Johnson then took a quick swipe at the EU's chief Brexit negotiator before he admitted the UK would have to pay its legal obligations.  He raged: "I am not saying that I accept Mr Barnier's interpretations of what our obligations are.  "But I am certainly saying that we have to meet our legal obligations as we understand them and that is what we are going to do."   .

The Foreign Secretary refused to speculate on what kind of figure the United Kingdom should pay to the European Union after it exits the bloc.  He added: "I'm not going to get into a financial haggle with you.

This is a matter for our excellent negotiators.  "What you would like them to do is to get the best possible value for the UK tax payer and that is what they are going to do.  "I can give you an absolutely clear and precise answer.

We should pay not a penny more and not a penny less of what we think our legal obligations amount to." The comments come as the UK's Brexit negotiator is reportedly planning on ignoring the issue of how much the UK will have to pay the bloc to infuriate Brussels.   .

A source, who is closely involved with the Brexit negotiations, said Mr Davis will refuse to disclose even roughly what the UK is prepared to pay.

They said: "It would be like turning up half your cards." "We are in the season of the Great British Bake Off, aren't we? So we will make it clear that they have massively over-egged their demands.

"In an ideal world they want to salami-slice us, step by step by step."  .

Diesel do nicely: updated 4cyl Range Rover Sport revealed for 2017 - Duration: 5:15.

Diesel do nicely: updated 4cyl Range Rover Sport revealed for 2017

A four-cylinder diesel doesn't shout 'sport', but that's exactly what you'll find under the bonnet of the entry-level 2017 model year Range Rover Sport.

The addition of a 20-litre four-cylinder diesel is one of many upgrades for the new Sport, the revisions to which echo those found in the recently overhauled Range Rover – with the 2017 model years featuring new driver aids, media systems and trim options.

Fear not on the rest of powertrain front, however; the monstrous 4.4-litre diesel V8 and supercharged 50-litre V8 remain for the Sport – as does the punchy yet comparatively frugal 30-litre diesel V6.

There's another new engine in the line-up, too, in the form of the supercharged 30-litre petrol V6 from the Jaguar stable. A 20-litre diesel in a Range Rover Sport? Sounds lethargic.

Land Rover claims that the Sport, when fitted with the new twin-turbo 'SD4' version of the Ingenium diesel, will sprint from 0-62mph in 80sec and on to a top speed of 128mph.

Not exactly pedestrian, particularly when you consider that the engine – which produces 237bhp and 369lb ft – is trying to accelerate the equivalent of a small house.

Find a mobile climate-controlled rolling road to commute to work on and the four-cylinder Sport will reputedly return 45.6mpg and emit 164g/km of CO2. Only one version is offered, though – an HSE, costing £59,700.

It'll only have one tailpipe, so there won't be any hiding its diminished cylinder count.

Those of you who prefer your combustion cycles to be spark ignited, however, will appreciate the new 30-litre supercharged V6 option. It packs 335bhp and 332lb ft, granting 0-62mph in 7.1sec and a top speed of 130mph.

Predictably there's a price to pay for the boost in performance – compared with the four-cylinder diesel – and that's a combined average of 26.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 243g/km. That and the fact it costs £64,400.

What else is new for the facelifted 2017 Range Rover Sport?. As was the case with the revised Range Rover, a host of new safety systems have been rolled out for the 2017 Sport.

These include Land Rover's Low Traction Launch for reputedly effortless getaways on slippy surfaces, an advanced towing aid and automatic emergency braking. Similarly, buyers can pick from a selection of assistance upgrade packs, adding features including traffic-sign recognition and lane-keeping assist.

A further tech uplift comes in the form of a standard-fit 10in InControl Touch Pro media system, which replaces the ageing 8in system.

Buyers can also opt for a wider range of exterior colours and a new Bright Pack for Autobiography Dynamic models – which adds silver finishes to exterior trim pieces, including the grille and bonnet mesh.

Perfect for letting those at the country club know you've spent just a little bit more than they have…. When can I get my hands on one?.

The 2017 model year Range Rover Sport goes on sale in late 2016. Prices start at £59,700 for the SD4 HSE diesel, rising to £96,900 for the full-fat 50-litre supercharged SVR. .

Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight countdown begins - Duration: 8:07.

Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight countdown begins

Raucous Irish fans have taken over Las Vegas ahead of what is being billed as the Fight of the Century, as Conor McGregor gets set to take on the undefeated Floyd Mayweather later tonight.

Sins Citys iconic strip was turned into a sea of green as supporters from the Emerald Isle donned flashy outfits, sang songs and proudly waved flags in support of their countryman.

UFC fighter McGregor, from Dublin, is transitioning into boxing for the first time to fight Mayweather. The money-spinning showdown is likely to break all records and surpass the $600million (£468million) generated by Mayweathers 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao.

An audience packed with 20,000 ravenous fans is expected at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA, with private jets ferrying celebrities into Vegas as bets worth more than a million dollars are placed on the bout.

And the party has already begun on the streets outside where passionate fans have displayed their support. One group of topless revellers were pictured brandishing a Republic of Ireland flag emblazoned with the words: F*** the Mayweather.

And one man in his nations football shirt looked particularly pleased as he posed for a snap with two scantilly-clad showgirls.

Mayweather, who has an incredible undefeated record of 49-0 to his name, has come out of retirement to fight the younger McGregor.

And while the line-up in the ring has had people talking for months, it is the Corona ring girls - Tawny Jordan, Kyra Keli, Samantha Kumiko and Jessica Harbour - who very well could steal the limelight from the two men in gloves.

Last night the pair faced off for the final time before they meet in the ring, with both men making appearances at the official weigh-in.

After stripping down to his boxer briefs for the weigh-in, Mystic Mac, as McGregor is known, left little to the imagination as he faced off with the undefeated boxing legend known as Money.

Muscles were not the only thing bulging during the spectacular stare-down, with veins visibly popping in McGregors neck as he screamed in the face of his more composed opponent.

Mayweather wore a special pair of underwear himself - an Irish-green pair branded with PaddyPower and the catchphrase Always bet on black.

The outrageous display sparked a storm of shocked comments on social media, with some users saying they understood the Irishmans willingness to walk around in his underwear.

McGregor was a little excited during this weigh in, said one Twitter user. McGregor has got a banana in his pants loool how excited is he?! wrote another.

Now I get why McGregor left his pants off after the weigh-in #heproud was another fans reaction. McGregor spectacularly defied Floyd Mayweathers prediction that he would fail to make the weight as they came to the scales before their mega-millions extravaganza.

The Notorious weighed in a full pound under the 154lbs weight limit. Mayweather was significantly but expectedly lighter at 149 1/2 lbs.

That put paid to the notion that his training may have been compromised by late, nightly visits to his strip club. McGregor returned to screaming at Mayweather come the stare down.

He looks like dog s***, said McGregor of his opponent. He looks blown out. Hes not going to keep my pace. Trust me on that. That's the worst shape I've ever seen him..

Im going to breeze through him, trust me on that. Im a professional, I make weight - its sacrifice, dedication, focus, but I make it. Im going to be a lot bigger than him tomorrow night, maybe closer to 170.

McGregor received a boisterous Irish welcome as he entered the T-Mobile Arena draped in his countrys flag and sporting glasses hinged with sun lenses.

Mayweather responded to his mixed reception by pointing to his white The Best Ever baseball cap and T-shirt, smiling broadly and then warning fans of the Irishman: This will be Conor McGregors last fight also.

Mayweather brushed off any potential advantage for McGregor over the size difference though after ending his two-year retirement. Weight doesnt win fights. Fighting wins fights, said the American.

A sizeable Irish contingent has travelled to Vegas to cheer the 29-year-old in action and he repeatedly saluted his supporters. You cant beat us, weve already taken over what we want, said McGregor. Las Vegas is Ireland now..

Mayweather was not phased by the partisan crowd though - even daring to wear Paddy Power green underwear. He said: The fans cant fight for him. It comes down to the two competitiors.

In the 49 times I won out there, it was one on one. The two were a stark contrast in their behaviour as they posed head-to-head for the cameras after the weigh-in.

Mayweather was cool, calm and collected as he stared at McGregor, while the Irishman laughed, smiled and launched a verbal assault of trash talk.

It was only when they broke away that Mayweather broke into a smile and laughed at the UFC lightweight champions remarks.

But after an undefeated record as a former five-weight world champion, Mayweather stressed how he has been here and done it all before. Ive been here before. I know what it takes when its a fight of this magnitude, said Mayweather.

Ive done a lot of this (chatting) hes done a lot of this, but tomorrow it comes down to the fighters.

With experience, power and grace, Venus among favorites again - Duration: 8:48.

With experience, power and grace, Venus among favorites again

2 and 2012 chWith beads dangling in her hair, 17-year-old Venus Williams sat in front of a small sample of the world's media.

It was mid-afternoon on Monday, Aug. 25, 1997, the 70th birthday of tennis icon Althea Gibson and the first day of play at the final major of the year.

The US Open was a mere hours into its 14-day marathon and the much-hyped teenager from California had rallied from a set down in her Big Apple debut to defeat Larisa Neiland in the second-ever match played in the newly opened Arthur Ashe Stadium.

You could take soundbites from the press conference that day and they wouldn't seem out of place in her answers today.

Venus spoke about having the self-belief to win a three-set match, moving up to the ball and taking it early, and playing in a stadium where she knows she belongs.

With hindsight, it was an early example of her uninhibited conviction in her own abilities.

But she also spoke about struggling in her high school algebra class and taking a picture with Arthur Ashe when she was 12 years old and being wowed by how tall he was.

After all, Venus was still just a kid contemplating whether she would join the WTA tour full-time the following year.

Despite knowing after her Day 1 win that she had the natural gifts to belong on the tour, her expectation for the 1997 US Open wasn't necessarily about winning a title.

"My goal for this tournament is when I play my matches, for not one bead to fall out of my hair," said Venus, sporting a head full of white beads which were flanked by red beads over her left shoulder and blue beads over the right.

Venus reached the final of the US Open in 1997.

In doing so, she became the first player in almost two decades to play in the championship match in her debut since Pam Shriver in 1978 and the first unseeded finalist in the tournament's history.

As Venus' hair styles and tournament expectations changed, the self-belief she showed in 1997 never left her side. Now, 20 years after making her debut, Venus is back in New York once more and as confident as ever.

Like in 1997, younger sister Serena is not competing in the final Grand Slam of the year. But in her absence, Venus leads a wide-open field and is among the favorites to win as third US Open title.

In a nod to Venus' longevity, none of the other 127 women from that 1997 singles field are in the 2017 draw (although Martina Hingis, who toppled Venus in that year's final, will be in the doubles competition).

Of the eight women above Venus in the WTA rankings, five have never won a major, including world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova and No.

The other three players have a combined six Grand Slam women's singles between them. The entire women's field combined owns 19 major singles titles, seven of which belong to Venus.

And why shouldn't Venus be considered a real title contender in New York? She dropped just one set in reaching both the Australian Open final in January and the Wimbledon final in June, and she reached the quarterfinals or later in Indian Wells, Miami and Rome.

As the top-ranked American competing on home soil, Venus will once again be one of the biggest draws, both for fans and media. The respect and adoration she has earned over two decades is unrivaled among her peers.

Media attention in New York will be nothing new to Venus, of course. Even when she debuted in Flushing Meadows 20 years ago, she was must-watch TV.

After all, she had played in the French Open and at Wimbledon earlier that year. Before that, she had played in nine smaller tournaments since turning pro at the age of 14 three years earlier.

In the under-12s circuit, she had a 63-0 record. Her second-ever match as a professional came against world No. 2 Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in Oakland. The 14th match of her career was against world No. 1 Steffi Graf in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

Big matches never fazed Venus, who grew up with parents who taught her anything and everything was possible regardless of how high the odds were stacked against her.

A lot has changed since the time Venus was dominating the Southern California and Florida junior circuits.

In no particular order, she's raised the profile of tennis among African-American communities, created her own interior design company, won four Olympic gold medals, built a fashion line and shattered the notion that champions could only be trained in academies.

She's outlasted her contemporaries and left an indelible mark on the sport by redefining the game with a combination of power, speed, agility and grace.

And she did it all against the backdrop of being one of the best players in the history of the sport while simultaneously being the second-best player in her own family.

Over the past few years, fans might have been clamoring to get one last glimpse of Venus because they weren't sure how many matches she had left in her.

This year, they're going to be lining up to see her again – not out of a sense of nostalgia, but because she has a real chance to win another title.

Venus' seven major titles are tied for eighth in the Open era, and she likely would have won many more if it wasn't for Serena.

Remember that of Serena's 23 Grand Slam women's singles titles, seven have been won on championship Saturday against her big sister. At least one of the Williams sisters has competed in 79 of the past 82 major singles draws.

Team USA's hopes of more silverware in New York City will be pinned on Venus this week in Serena's absence.

And considering the season the 37-year-old has put together so far, few would be truly surprised to see her add her first major trophy in eight years.
