Really Funny Jokes For Kids DefinitionSource(google.com.pk)
We all know that there a lot of funny movie quotes out there but with so many things going on in our lives nowadays it's hard to remember them and we forget what's funny let alone the quotes from the movie.
To help you along on this little expedition of merriment and amusement I have put together for you a random collection of the the funniest movie quotes I could find and if you don't have the time to watch the entire film, well, these quotes are the next best thing. If nothing else, they are a little taster of what kind of comedy you'll find within that movie.
Hopefully somewhere in these quotes will be something to put a smile on your face, but remember don't take these jokes too seriously!
Domingo: Are you guys even real cops? You look like the kids on Halloween.
Tom Hanson: If them boys is cops, I'm DEA.
[Schmidt does a fake laugh]
Schmidt: I know! Right? I know! It's hilarious.
[Schmidt stops laughing]
Schmidt: So why don't you show us a little respect?
Domingo: Fuck you, pig!
Jenko: Hey! You want me to beat your dick off?
Domingo: You want to beat my dick off?
Jenko: I'll beat your dick off with both hands. What's up? Let's go.
One-Percenter #1: That's weird, man!
Schmidt: I think what he was trying to say was, he's gonna punch you so many times round the genital area that...that your dick's just gonna fall off.
[at the check out counter a register woman swipes their items]
Register Woman: Guns. Mask. You sure you all don't wanna grab some condoms?
Nick: No. Why?
Register Woman: Because this is usually what men buy before they rape someone.
Chet: Oh, we're not rapists! Us two, small fries? No way.
[she gives them a cold unbelieving look]
Register Woman: Is it gonna be cash or credit for your rape kit?
[Chet put a box of hamburger slider kit on the counter]
Chet: Hey, is a slider station in a rape kit? Cause we're gettin' one of those too.
Nick: We'll pay cash.
Chet: Not into rape, just into sliders.
Mooj: Hey Andy, don't let him bother you. It's okay not to have sex. Not everybody's a pussy magnet. You, uh, what are you, 25?
Andy Stitzer: I'm 40.
Mooj: Holy shit, man, you got to get on that!
Kyle: You're gonna be fine.
Adam: Yeah.
Kyle: You're gonna be fine. Fifty fifty! If you were a casino game, you'd have the best odds.
Adam: Yeah. Thanks.
Dr. Evil: My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

March 25, 2009 -- Many people with rheumatoid arthritis may have barriers that hinder optimal management of their pain, a study suggests.
Barriers to pain reduction, Canadian researchers say, include fear of medication side effects, fear of drug interactions, worry about drug addiction, concerns that the effects of medication might mask the disease, and aversion to taking too many pills.
McGill University scientists studied 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, all of whom were being treated by specialists. Of the rheumatoid arthritis sufferers, 53% described their pain as moderate to severe. Forty-seven percent reported that pain was mild or absent. And 65% of all patients, including about half of those with moderate to severe pain, were satisfied with current methods to control suffering, the researchers report in the March issue of The Journal of Pain.
Although 87% of the patients reported that they expected to have "some" pain to "much" pain from their rheumatoid arthritis, only 13% didn't expect any pain or only slight pain.
The researchers, led by Mary-Ann Fitzcharles, MD, of Montreal General Hospital at McGill University, were interested in the potential barriers to reducing pain that kept some people hurting.
The top barriers to optimal pain management found in the study participants included:
- Worry of medication side effects (80%)
- Not wanting to take "too many pills" (63%)
- Worry about medication interactions (57%)
- Worry of addiction (35%)
The researchers found that more than half of the patients had at least three barriers.
The researchers conclude that people with rheumatoid arthritis should be questioned vigorously about their pain, and that clinicians should explore potential barriers to effective pain control.

Author Mary Deal Writes About "A False Sense Of Value" On The Child Finder Trilogy
When we writers select a topic on which to expound, chances are, we choose that topic because of its emotional impact on ourselves. We feel something strongly and want to let the world know our opinion. If we felt nothing, what's to write?
Once the essay or story is finished and we're feeling good about having gotten our brainstorm on paper, the next step is to decide if what we've written is important enough to send out to get published. Or have we simply committed a lot of weak personal opinion and gibberish to paper? Read More

Gospel Gossip @ Turf Club
Gospel Gossip @ Turf Club
November 3rd, 2012
The 4 band bonanza Saturday night at the Turf Club celebrating Gospel Gossip's newest studio release, Atlantic Blue, began with a poppy whimper, instead of a bang. Early attendees were warmed by the pleasant, crunchy and casually danceable trio Teenage Moods. Not much love here, but not much hate either, they were a mildly good band to open a long set.
Leisure Birds followed, and I was almost too blinded by the reflections from the keyboardist's leather shorts to be aware of much music coming from the stage. After my eyes drifted to the lead singer's Tyrolean hunting hat, the trance was broken, and I was able to decode the music. As the four men that comprised the band crept closer together, an eerie, groovy sound began to radiate from the stage. Some of it sounded like it was originating from the bottom of a well, but the rhythm and bass were powerful, driving the melody that hovered over it like a mist above a bog. I'd wished I seen this band before Halloween, when their powers would no doubt be at their peak.
Magic Castles sounded like a watery, modern rock version of Neil Young. The musicians stood much like statues as they played, the music seemed to emerge from their instruments unbidden, as if the band knew that if they stood there, holding their instruments, swaying slightly, the music would come out as a byproduct of their boredom or loneliness.
Finally, at about 1AM, the headliners take the stage. Gospel Gossip rocks, but they rock like a forlorn & lost lover searching for clothes their ex forgot or left behind in their shared apartment. Sarah Nienaber's twitches and convulsions that accompany her playing could easily be confused for the same involuntary movements one exhibits during a breakup fight.
Nienaber's guitar sounds like it's yearning for something that no one can give it. During the set she falls down, as if she is overcome with emotion, or lost in a sea of shimmering distortion. It's such a part of the usual set that you can't tell if it's faked or genuine – and it doesn't matter either way, it's become part of Gospel Gossip's captivating charm.
Ollie Moltaji (drums) and Justin Plank (bass) provide the structure of the music, the frame of the building that Nienaber's guitar jumps off of. Each have a quick smirk, adding an unreality to the situation – while one is going through a breakup, the other two look on as if amused.
I'll use a hackneyed metaphor for Gospel Gossip's music: the rhythm section is the earth, heavy, solid, deeply melodic, the guitar and the feedback it creates are the clouds, sometimes raining, sometimes moving under the light from Nienaber's voice, which is the sun. Gospel Gossip rocks geologic; sometimes moving with sadness, sometimes triumphantly, but either way, always full of strength and force.

Hollywood backscratchers
Remember last year, when Madonna was supposedly f-cking ARod, they would steal away to Jerry Seinfeld's place in the Hamptons? It seemed random, non? All favours in Hollywood are eventually repaid. Now Jerry Seinfeld is returning to television. It's a reality show called The Marriage Ref featuring "opinionated celebrities, comedians and sports stars who will candidly comment, judge and offer different strategies for real-life couples in the midst of a classic marital dispute." Seinfeld has explained that The Marriage Ref "is not a therapy show, it's a comedy show. After nine years of marriage, I have discovered that the comedicpotential of this subject is quite rich."
Something for her, something for him...it's been confirmed that Madonna will be one of the judges. And you know, Madonna doesn't usually do tv, let alone reality tv. This is very much a favour. Or a payback. Maybe some Kab action too.
The Marriage Ref premieres on NBC right after the Olympics. Seinfeld was one of the only ones who defended Jay Leno against Conan O'Brien. You see, don't you?
Meanwhile, Madonna spent the last few days in Rio for Carnival, still pretending to be in love with Jesus. Remember when her face wasn't so crazy? Sadly... I almost can't.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the second year in a row the MIT men's varsity heavyweight crew finished second to Harvard University in the Compton Cup. Unlike last year's race, which was rowed on placid Lake Carnegie in beautiful weather, this year's edition took place in typical early spring conditions in Boston: cold, rainy, and windy.
At the half-way mark, Harvard led Princeton University by several seats, and both crews had opened a substantial lead over the Engineers. Under the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge, Princeton's stroke man caught his hand in the rudder cable, which broke the rudder mechanism and caused his boat to veer into Harvard's stern. The bow of Princeton's boat snapped off, and the shell came to a rest diagonally to the course, in MIT's lane. MIT's varsity coxswain, Rishi Dixit, steered calmly around the Princeton boat and chased Harvard to the finish line. The Cardinal and Gray finished with a time of 6:19 as Harvard crossed the line in 5:53.
Said MIT coach Tony Kilbridge: "We make our best moves when the other crew isn't rowing. Next year we would like Harvard to stop rowing also."

Seven Days
The room was hot and steamy, and about to get salty, at Neighborly Farms of Vermont in Randolph Center. At about 9:30 on a late-summer morning, head cheesemaker Jason Jarvis had already been at work for six hours.
It was raw cheddar day. After adding the starter to about 400 pounds of unpasteurized organic milk produced on-site, Jarvis put in the rennet, cut the curds, began continuously testing the pH and drained the whey. He and fellow cheesemaker Clif Cheney formed the cheddar-to-be into cheese "pillows" and milled those into squishy slices. They used plastic shovels to mix salt into the 47 pounds of curds, which they placed in a press to drain further.The next morning, they would have about 40 pounds of cheese, ready to age into mild, sharp and extra-sharp cheddar.While the cheesemaking process at Neighborly Farms is not novel, its business model � based on artisanal-meets-affordable organic cheeses � is unusual in Vermont. Owned by the Dimmick family, Neighborly makes all-organic cheeses that retail for about $12 per pound; typical artisanal organic Vermont cheeses (and some nonorganic ones) run more than $20 per pound.Making that pricing work is up to Linda Dimmick, 54, Neighborly Farms' cofounder, co-owner and first cheesemaker. Recently, her son Bobby, 27, and his wife, Brooke, 23, bought the dairy production side of the farm, while Linda and her husband, Rob, continue to own the cheesemaking business.The farm's history reflects an unusual transition, too. Back in the '90s, Linda said, organic was not the Dimmicks' philosophy. When she married into the family, her in-laws, Russell and Sharon Dimmick, ran a conventional dairy farm in Randolph Center called Hillcrest Farms."When my husband was growing up, the [agricultural] salesmen basically made it sound like you had to use Atrazine to grow corn" for cattle feed, Linda said. Atrazine is a common herbicide that can contaminate surface waters; some studies suggest it is an endocrine disruptor.In '93, after milk prices dropped to $11 per 100-weight, the Dimmicks sold the herd. "It took us two years to pay off the bills," Linda said. Five years later, after an unsuccessful stint as beef farmers, they purchased a new herd; in 1999, they made the transition to organic and renamed the business Neighborly Farms.The new methods simplified things, Linda recalled � no more hormone-induced ovulation for the cows, and far fewer visits from the vet. "All we did was give them all organic food, exercise every day and no drugs," she said. "Now, organic is our philosophy." When a sick cow needs antibiotics, the Dimmicks treat it and sell it to a conventional dairy farm.About a year ago, Bobby and Brooke Dimmick made a $250,000 investment in what they affectionately call "the Robot," a high-tech milking machine formally known as the Lely Astronaut. This reporter watched a few cows from the herd of 60 Holsteins and Jerseys head down the pasture to the milking station without being prompted. They were in the mood to be milked, it seemed, and to eat the grain incentives they'd receive during the process.When a cow approached the Robot, the machine recognized her and displayed her data, both on a screen and on an app on the Dimmicks' phones: stats on her last seven milkings, including production and any teat injuries. Based on such data, the Robot adjusts the amount of grain and supplements, including selenium and apple cider vinegar, that each cow receives.The Robot cleaned the cow's teats and clamped down on three of them; a dry teat was left alone. She ate her custom blend while getting milked for about six minutes, seeming a little restless only when she ran out of grain. As the cow ambled back to the pasture, the Robot siphoned the milk away and cleaned itself, ready for the next cow.Bobby said each cow averages 2.7 milkings per day and produces 55 pounds of milk. Conventional dairy cows, which often receive hormones to increase their milk production, can average 100 pounds per day. But for the Dimmicks, quality is more important than quantity. "A conventional farmer might make fun of us, but that's OK," said Bobby.click to enlarge

A consortium of around 20 distributors from across the Middle East has launched a new regional network, provisionally called MEDIS.
The initiative - spearheaded by the European Union's Euromed Audiovisual Programme - takes inspiration from lobbying and networking bodies Europa Cinemas and Europa Distribution.
"There is a need for a strong lobbying body to convince international and national organisations to support the distribution sector in the region," said Euromed chief Valerio Caruso who is overseeing the creation of MEDIS. "A regional organisation will be much more powerful than a single, isolated distributor."
"The first aim is to activate local and international financial support for the distribution sector, similar to that in Europe. The second step is to mobilise funds for the distribution and circulation of movies. The aim is to favour circulation of Arab films within the region and elsewhere. All kind of films will be eligible, but a special focus will be in art-house films," he added.
The new network pulls together many key distributors of independent cinema across the Middle East and North Africa.
Founding members include Beirut-based MC Distribution, Algeria's Cirta Films, Egypt's Misr International Films, Dubai's Front Row Filmed Entertainment, the distribution arm of pan-Arab conglomerate Rotana Studios, the Sabbah Brothers' Cedars Art Production and the Tunis-based Le Colisée cinema, one of the few remaining theatres in Tunisia.
Dubai Film Market's Pascal Diot is also an associate member alongside Adeline Monzier of Europa Distribution and Caruso.
The new network will hold its first general assembly within the framework of the Dubai Film Market today (Dec 10). The attendees are expected to vote Tunisia Mohamed Layad, owner of Tunisia's few remaining cinemas, as president and God's Horses director Nabil Ayouch as honorary president.
The launch follows two previous meetings in Jordan in July and Venice in September.

The man, who it is calculated has been seen by more people than any other entertainer on earth during his more than seven decades in show business, has been declared a "a part of American folklore" by a Senate resolution. In just about every country people know the performer, whose rapid-fire comedy technique, flawless sense of timing and impeccable delivery have invaded their lands and touched a common chord in their humanity. His motion pictures exceed 50. His radio and television show are literally countless.
The great entertainer was born Leslie Townes Hope, the fifth of six sons of a stone mason in London. His father brought the family to Cleveland, Ohio, when Bob was 3. and the youngster received his education there at the Fairmont Grammar School and High School. He was given singing lessons by his mother, Agnes, who had been a Welsh concert singer. It has been said that he discovered the delight in making people laugh when his voice cracked one day while he was singing "The End of a Perfect Day" at a family gathering.
During his schooldays, young Hope earned money working in a shoe store, a pharmacy, in his older brother's meat market, and as a paper boy and golf caddy. He learned tap-dancing in high school and, when the instructor left for Hollywood, he took the classes for a time. At the age of 10, he had won a Charlie Chaplin imitation contest but did not return to comedy until, after striking out a boxing career, under the name Packy East, he learned that several acts were needed to fill out the bill of a Cleveland theater. He acquired a partner named George Byrne, and together they worked out a dance routine, calling themselves "Two Diamonds in the Rough." A vaudeville tour followed.
It was in Newcastle, Indiana, after appearances on Broadway in The Sidewalks of New York and Smiles, that Hope emerged as a monologist. In announcing a coming performance at the theater, he burlesqued the announcement and told Scotch jokes with such success that he decided to be a solo performer. His business card red "Bob Hope: Monology and Eccentric Dancing," and he played vaudeville theaters, including the Stratford Theatre in Chicago, and then formed his own company, which included Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.
Hope made it back to Broadway, first with Ballyhoo, a 1932 musical, followed the next year by his starring role as Huckleberry Haines in Roberta with Fay Templeton and Sydney Greenstreet plus a young singer named Dolores Reade, whom he married at that time and with whom he has shared his life since.
In 1935, the year he appeared in Ziegfeld Follies with Fanny Brice and the year before his appearance with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante in Red, Hot and Blue, Hope did his first radio show, "Atlantic Family." His own radio show was introduced in the fall of 1938. As a result of it, he was asked by Paramount Studios to appear with other radio performers in the film The Big Broadcast of 1938. Instead of utilizing his comedic talents, the producers assigned him to sing (with Shirley Ross) the song "Thanks for the Memory," which was to become his theme. Among a handful of films in which he subsequently appeared were College Swing, Thanks for the Memory, and, most importantly, The Cat and the Canary with Paulette Goddard in 1939.
A new phase of his career began in 1940 when he set out on the Road to Singapore, the first of the film "Roads" he was to travel with Bing Crosby, whom he had first met at New York's Capitol Theater eight years before, when Crosby was the featured singer and Hope was the emcee.
The seven blockbuster "Road" pictures, starting with Singapore and including Zanzibar, Morocco, Utopia, Rio, Bali and sometime later, Hong Kong. At the time of Crosby's death in 1977, the two were plotting an eight "Road"--To the Fountain of Youth.
"There was a chemistry between us," says Hope. "I could feed Bing a great line and he could feed me a great line, then half the time we were robbing each other, trying to steal each other's lines, so it made for a great circus of gags."
Between "Road" trips, there were many other hit comedy films for Hope including Monsieur Beaucaire, My Favorite Blonde, My Favorite Brunette, My Favorite Spy, Casanova's Big Night, The Paleface, Sorrowful Jones, Fancy Pants, The Lemon Drop Kid, Seven Little Foys (in which he played his most dramatic role as Eddie Foy and for which he received critical praise) Beau James, The Facts of Life and Cancel My Reservation.
The television show "Star Spangled Revue," presented on Easter Sunday, 1950, marked the first of his myriad appearances on the then new medium. Among his innumerable awards are five special Oscars for humanitarian work. He has also created the USO international headquarters named after him.

Okay yes, I have checked every resource of cprogramming.com, and yet I am still confused about the concept of string parsing, and/or separating strings into tokens. It isn't that there isn't enough information; I just haven't found any info that's "dumbed-down" enough for someone who is completely new to parsing.
So I know what parsing is.
But what I'm wondering is, what are the rudimentary basics of parsing and string separation, in terms of programming, and how they work logically?
Many thanks, I know that this is a bit vague, I tried to focus my question as well as I could.

Because I have to generate two columns a week for you, Dear Reader, I spend some time hunting for new ideas on the conference circuit. When you are on that circuit, you are perpetually under the illusion that you are hearing from the exciting, fresh people who are about to change history.
You're hearing from, say, the brilliant technology entrepreneur Shai Agassi, who is starting a paradigm-shifting electric car company. You're hearing from some wizard with a new solar-panel technology, or some new social-networking entrepreneur.
My main impression over the past five years is that the conference circuit capitalists who give fantastic presentations have turned out to be marginal to history while the people who are too boring and unfashionable to get invited to the conferences in the first place have actually changed the world under our noses.
Shai Agassi's company, Better Place, for example, has generated glowing magazine profiles, but it has managed to lose more than $500 million while selling astoundingly few cars. He stepped down as the chief executive, and his replacement lasted only a few months. It turns out that the things that are sexy to politicians and paradigm-shifting to conference audiences are not necessarily attractive to consumers.
Meanwhile, the anonymous drudges at American farming corporations are exporting $135 billion worth of products every year and transforming the American Midwest. The unfashionable executive at petrochemical companies have been uprooting plants from places like Chile, relocating them to places like Louisiana, transforming economic prospects in the Southeast. Most important of all, the boring old oil and gas engineers have transformed the global balance of power.
By 2020, the United States will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer, according to the International Energy Agency. The U.S. has already overtaken Russia as the world's leading gas producer. Fuel has become America's largest export item. Within five years, according to a study by Citigroup, North America could be energy independent. "OPEC will find it challenging to survive another 60 years, let alone another decade," Edward Morse, Citigroup's researcher, told CNBC.
All of this was accomplished by people who exist largely beyond the reach of the lavalier-mike circuit.
Joel Kotkin identified America's epicenters of economic dynamism in a study for the Manhattan Institute. It is like a giant arc of unfashionableness. You start at the Dakotas where unemployment rates are at microscopic levels. You drop straight down through the energy belts of the Great Plains until you hit Texas. Occasionally, you turn to touch the spots where fertilizer output and other manufacturing plants are on the rebound, like the Third Coast areas in Louisiana, Mississippi and Northern Florida.
Vanity Fair still ranks the tech and media moguls and calls it The New Establishment, but, as Kotkin notes, the big winners in the current economy are the "Material Boys" — the people who grow grain, drill for fuel and lay pipeline. The growing parts of the world, meanwhile, are often the commodity belts, resource-rich places with good rule of law like Canada, Norway and Australia.
Daniel Yergin, an energy guru, noted in Congressional testimony last month that the revolution in oil and gas extraction has led to 1.7 million new jobs in the United States alone, a number that could rise to three million by 2020. The shale revolution added $62 billion to federal revenues in 2012. At the same time, carbon-dioxide emissions are down 13 percent since 2007, as gas is used instead of coal to generate electricity.
Most of us have grown up in a world in which we assumed that energy was scarce, or even running out. We could now be entering a world of relatively cheap energy abundance.
Most of us have grown up in a world in which oil states in the Middle East could throw their weight around because of their grip on the economy's life source. But the power of petro-states is on the wane. Yergin argues that the oil sanctions against Iran may not have been sustainable if not for the new alternate sources of supply.
We've grown accustomed to despotic regimes in Russia and Venezuela that live off oil and gas wealth. But those regimes are facing hard times, too. Gazprom is already offering roughly 10 percent discounts on existing contracts. The Nigerians and Venezuelans may find it hard to compete. People in China and elsewhere are wondering if the fracking revolution means that the 21st century will be another North American century, just like the last one.
What are the names of the people who are leading this shift? Who is the Steve Jobs of shale? Magazine covers don't provide the answers. Whoever they are, they don't seem hungry for celebrity or good with the splashy project launch. They are strong economically, but they are culturally off the map.
This revolution will not be plenaried.

Honda introduces the Vision XS-1 at the 2014 Delhi Auto Show
Categories: Concept, Delhi Auto Show, Honda, Vision XS-1
Seems the Delhi Auto Show is the place where every car manufacturer wants to introduce to the world their new small crossover/suv concept. Honda doesn't want to be left out of the show and revealed the Vision XS-1. Another futuristic looking vehicle that at least has a distinctive feature.
Datsun also brings a concept to the Delhi Auto Show. It's the redi-GO
Categories: Concept, Datsun, Delhi Auto Show, Redi-GO
The first thing i asked myself was, what he hell is that? Then, i asked, how i will describe this car to everyone that reads this? After a few minutes i gave up and thought i will just write what Datsun said. To the good people who wrote the press release, this concept is a mix between a crossover, a hatchback and a SUV. Really?
Renault shows the KWID CONCEPT at the Delhi Auto Show
Categories: Concept, Delhi Auto Show, India, Kwid, Renault
The Delhi Auto Show isn't one of the big ones, but it is gaining importance due to the expansion of the Indian market. With that in mind brands are taking time and money to develop new and better looking concepts to be shown at these auto shows. another example is China that got many new cars and concepts.

Here's the production version of the Citroen C4 Cactus
Contrary to what Subaru did with the Legacy (see previous article), the production version of the Cactus C4 is almost identical to the concept that previewed it, which in this case isn't that good since this vehicle keeps the weird look. It also keeps the dubious two color scheme and the "futuristic" interior.

Hi. What are the advantages of round veils & fencer veils. 1jimt
Hi. What are the advantages of round veils & fencer veils. 1jimt
I don't know as there is any advantage of the shape of one veil over the shape of another. I would give more consideration to whether you want one that ties on, or zips to a jacket. I use a tie on, but if you were driving between two or more beeyards, one that you could flip off and on might make more sense. Another thing to consider is the type of screen. If you are going to be throwing it in and out of the truck and other places a lot, it helps to have on with screen that will keep it's shape, and not kink if you bend or pinch it. Hope this helps some.
I find the round veils have better visability for me , but I have heard that the "fencer" veils will get into tighter spots than a round one . That would be important if you were doing lots of cut-outs.
I've never used a fencing type veil because they look hot to me with solid fabric on the back. So I've always used a veil that gives 360 ventilation...round, folding, etc. Just a personal preference.
Welcome to the Forum!
In my case, because I wear glasses and have very wide peripheral vision, I went with a pocket veil, also called a Tulle veil.
Ask members at your local club to try some of theirs on if possible, or at local supplier. Most people are understanding.
No matter which you choose, there will be trade offs. You can always upgrade later, and maybe find somebody willing to trade.
Let us know what you find that you like.
I haven't tried a regular fencing type veil. Being as the screen is flat and rigid I would think that it has good *straight ahead* vision (periphera vision might be a little impaired?), but again...I haven't tried one. I can see where it might be warmer than a full wrap veil (square or round). Hmm, I've got a folding veil and a hat that I haven't worn in a while...I quit wearing it because the straw hat kept irritating my head....I'm thinking of picking up one of the plastic hats and see how that works...the veil seemed ok. Maybe drill some extra ventilation holes in the plastic...
For working hives in the yard I would opt for a round or folding veil. I really like the Clear-Vu soft hat.
Anyhow, best wishes on your selection, 1jimt.
The Sheriff's veil is nice because it doesn't restrict turning your head from side to side.
(1975-1980, and now since 2011; maintain about 10 hives; Zone 5b; 15" rain; 5500')
Thanks for all your advice
I like the English "fencing" type as it folds flat and I don't have to have a hat. It is easy to haul around without mashing something, easy to put on and works fine.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I dont like round veils because sometimes they hold their roundness to well, and you cant really put it on. I like the square veils that just go over a baseball cap, since I always have a spare in the truck, and ussually wear hat anyway. Plus it folds flat again, and stores easy.
Ultrabreeze, need I say more? 8)
I have a tulle veil that I put over my forrester style hard hat from work, just want to make sure you wear a collared shirt otherwise the back of your neck is exposed. My " bee suit" is a $6 pair of tyvek also from work LOL it's hot, but untill I got a desk job at work, I wore them quite often so i'm kinda used to them.
I do not understand why beekeeper's veils have tiny holes in the screen. An eigth inch hole would keep any bees out, yet allow good visibility. The Tulle veil has the best visibility I've seen.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...

Odyssey (ODSY, ODY32/ODY128, or as SGI marketing would like it, VPro V6/V8/V10/V12) is a family of XIO-based graphics solutions for Octane, Fuel and Tezro systems. There are four cards in it:
- V6, a 32 MB first generation card,
- V8, a 128 MB first generation card,
- V10, a 32 MB second generation card,
- V12, a 128 MB second generation card (the only one being installed in Tezros).
The first generation cards are somewhat slower, but there are no other significant differences (or so it seems).
The cards consist of two chips. Buzz is the geometry and rasterization engine, and PB&J is the graphics backend (which actually sends the data to the display). Memory is shared between all card functions (framebuffer, FIFOs, OpenGL display lists, pbuffers, textures, OpenGL contexts and so on).
The rasterizer in Buzz can, in addition to standard Gouraud shading, texturing and alpha blending, perform a pretty unique function that is usually simulated with fragment programs in the PC world: per-fragment specular lighting. It means that the Buzz rasterizer unit interpolates normals and then evaluates a specular lighting equation for each generated fragment (pixel before writing to framebuffer), adding the result to the normally evaluated colors and texture lookup results.
The depth buffer maintained by Buzz is also rumored to be rather atypical. Namely, it reportedly remembers not the 1/w (W-buffer) or Z/w (Z-buffer, OpenGL standard) but the object Z. This approach is expensive, but it allows the depth buffer to have an uniform resolution in the whole view volume.
The card implements OpenGL in firmware (actually, Buzz microcode) so it can be used as a 3D accelerator right after initialization. Indeed, both PROM and IRIX htport (host textport) draw their screens using OpenGL commands (invariably, very small GL_QUADS). Even letters are decomposed to pixels, and each pixel is drawn as a single quad primitive which incidentally explains the geological slowness of PROM console on Odyssey.
Normally, Xsgi paints letters using OpenGL stipples (loads the letters into the stipple and then draws a quad using this stipple). This is obviously more efficient, and will be probably the solution implemented in Linux Odyssey driver.
All commands to the Buzz chip, along with PIO data (Programmed Input/Output, as opposed to DMA), are entered by the host processor to the CFIFO (Command FIFO). The FIFO is located at 0x110000 in card space. The commands are formed into tokens, first a single word (32-bit) is written that signals a start of a new token and also contains the token code (tokens generally are equivalent to a single OpenGL function, like glBegin, glEnd, glColor3ub or glVertex2i), and optionally a few more words (usually 32-bit, but a few 64-bit ones were also encountered) being the parameters for these tokens (most commonly in the same order and form as in corresponding OpenGL function).
Commands for the PB&J (like PseudoColor palette, cursor and modelines) are written at 0x400000 in card space, which is an entry to the DFIFO. The high 32 bits of a DFIFO write denote the register to write, while to low 32 bits are the written value. The DFIFO status register is located at 0x00106c.
There is also a standard issue SGI MicroLAN controller at 0x0010dc used to identify the card through its NIC. Equally unsurprising is the set of XIO widget registers at 0x000000. There are also some other registers, still unknown, that are extensively utilized during the initialization sequence and are probably related to SDRAM controller initialization. Possibly also DMA is realized in these registers.
A I2C bus controller is connected to the DDC port of the monitor and to the on-board PLL that generates the pixel clock for the PB&J.

New York, June 16, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the vicious beating in Baku of international journalists Amanda Erickson and Celia Davies, and calls on the authorities to bring their attackers to justice.
Erickson is an American freelance contributor to The Washington Post and The New York Times, and Davies is a British staffer at the Baku-based Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS). They also run training programs for local journalists, Emin Huseynov, IRFS director told CPJ. Both live in Baku.
Four men followed and attacked Erickson and Davies at around midnight on Wednesday outside their apartment building in Baku, the Azeri service of the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported. According to Huseynov, the assailants accosted and beat Erickson and Davies without saying anything; they did not take any personal items from the women.
Davies' left arm was broken, and Erickson suffered multiple bruises. Both have been hospitalized. Erickson and Davies gave statements to the Baku police, but a probe has not yet been launched, Huseynov said. The motive behind the attack remained unclear.
"We urge the Baku police to investigate this appalling attack immediately," CPJ Deputy Director Robert Mahoney said. "Since robbery does not appear to be behind the assault, the authorities must consider journalism as a motive."
With no valuables taken off the women, Huseynov told CPJ he believes the attack is related their work in Azerbaijan, calling it a "forewarning message to independent reporters and rights activists."
Coincidentally, the assault took place during the visit to Azerbaijan of Thomas Melia, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Human Rights and Labor, local press reported. According to Huseynov, Melia was briefed about the attack and the U.S. Embassy in Baku is monitoring developments in the case.

Back in the 90s, hacking was considered a taboo practice among the PC community worldwide. The consensus has seemed to change somewhat in the 21st century, with more companies and federal institutions accepting and even inviting the more skilled hackers into their establishments.
The hacking community that exists today incorporates a series of "hats" to denote their respective professions in the hacking field, including white hats (testing Internet security) and blue hats (testing IT infrastructure before it goes online). However, those in the community known as black hats garner the most attention.
Black hats are those who violate Internet security with malicious intent, including taking information deemed classified and making it public (Anonymous and LulzSec, for example). Not all black hats are malicious, however. Some in the community simply hack devices to make them function differently.
Regardless of the black hat moniker, a group within that community decided to start a hacking conference of sorts. It has grown in popularity since its inception in 1997.
Known as the Black Hat conference, the symposium highlights hacking methods from the elite within the community, many of which can be downright frightening for those in the IT business.
Past demonstrations included hijacking WiFi, intercepting cellphone calls and text messages, and thwarting motion detectors using infrared lasers. As scary as those may sound to some in the security community, they are nothing compared to the level of manipulation the late Barnaby Jack was able to inflict on devices known to be incredibly secure. In 2010, the former director of security for IOActive demonstrated the ability to "jackpot" (exploit) ATM machines, making them dispense money without the need of a bank account. He was able to do so both remotely and physically by injecting malware into the machines' OS through the remote managing system, using default passwords to gain entry.
In 2011, he demonstrated how to hack an insulin pump wirelessly using a high-gain antenna up to 300 feet away, without the need of the pump's serial number to gain access. (Pumps are calibrated wirelessly by medical professionals using an individual device's serial number.) During the demonstration, he was able to make the pump deliver a dose of 25 units until draining the pump's reservoir, which would kill a normal patient outfitted with one.
If that wasn't frightening enough, in 2012 Barnaby demonstrated the ability to hack a pacemaker, delivering enough lethal voltage to effectively assassinate its user! His exploits caught the attention of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), where his testimony forced the agency to change its regulations regarding wireless medical devices.
Of course, attendees of the conference display their skills through antics by hacking hotel TV services (to watch pay-per-view for free), hacking the ATMs in the venue's lobby, and passing around a thumb-drive that introduced the Conficker virus, resulting in the infection of millions of computers.
What will the next conference bring forth from the black hat community? Only the lucky few who manage to get passes will know before the rest of us, unless of course you're able to hack the site to get them.

North Tahoe highway overhaul work may start May 1
KINGS BEACH, Calif. — Work for the Kings Beach "Core of the Core" project is tentatively scheduled to start May 1, weather permitting.
Sparks, Nev.-based Q&D Construction would likely begin by installing a water quality drainage system near the North Tahoe Event Center and in the eastern portion of the Kings Beach State Recreation Area parking lot, according to the Placer County Department of Public Works.
Depending on progress, work on the Coon Street roundabout may occur before Friday, July 4, with the intent to do most road and frontage work on Highway 28 in September.
While the schedule may change, during peak season (July 4 through Labor Day), work will be focused in the Grid neighborhood north of Highway 28, including installing drainage, parking and traffic-calming measures.
A detailed schedule is expected to be part of a "Meet Your Contractor" open house in early March. A meeting date is yet to be released.
The Core of the Core — which is expected to take at least two construction seasons — is the first phase in the two-phased Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project, an initiative to upgrade and improve a 1.1-mile section of Highway 28 through Kings Beach.
The project aims to improve pedestrian and bike access and the aesthetics and feel of downtown. Completion of the entire project is not expected until at least 2017, said Peter Kraatz, Placer County Department of Public Works deputy director.
For more information on the project, visit http://www.kingsbeachcore.info.

These are all beautiful afgans. I am looking for pattern for a granny square pattern that is on continuous granny square, in crochet. I just can't seem to get the granny square itself down pat. Does anyone have that pattern? Or at least the pattern for just a granny square. Thank you.

I Was Due for a Proper Blogroll Update
It seems that my last blogroll update was from January, so about 6 months ago. No, wait, that's exactly 6 months ago. Or it was yesterday when I started writing this post.
Time flows faster on the internet. Since my last blogroll update date, we've had bloggers leave us, we're have retired bloggers make a return and we've had new bloggers introducing themselves. We've even had new bloggers to the scene who've already retired. That's how fast time flows on the internet.
Personal links
That's right, I'm starting with my own links first, egomaniac that I am. Under the paladinning section, I added my non-raid gear post and the Holy Paladin 101 I wrote for Top Rosters. I also tearfully cleared out a few posts that were too outdated to be of any use. That's the sad side of playing a class that gets revamped every patch: your hard work never lasts long.
Please Welcome Back
After sorting through the Paladin and the Retired folders in my RSS feeder, I discovered that two bloggers have returned from the nether for our reading pleasure.
Caer Morrighan has had her arms (and timetable) full with motherhood, but has still managed to give us some of her famous and much anticipated Crib Sheets for paladin dps, priest healing(!) and a healthy variety of Cataclysm raid bosses.
Ruthra from Holy Shock has also made a comeback, writing about Holy Paladins as well as other topics that cross his mind.
Please Welcome
When three major names from the Protection paladin community, Anafielle, Theck and Meloree, joined together for a blogging project, I thought "this is too good to be true!". But I was wrong, it was true. And the end result, Sacred Duty is going strong with regular, informative posts on paladin tanking as well as thought-provoking commentaries on tanking in relation to other aspect of the game.
Another new Protection blog (which also has a great magey half) is D/E the Tank with Orv and Nymphy. They've got a lot of resources for new and leveling tanks as well as some extra fun for those of the mage persuasion.
On the Holy side of the paladin blogosphere, we've got Heavy Wool Bandage written by Glorwynn Lightbraid. Her voice is one of a kind, and she covers the ground that tends to be forgotten by the majority of holy paladin bloggers: healing in low level instances. There's a lot more than leveling guides though, so take your time and browse through her pages.
Another Holy blog that has made an appearance is the interestingly titled I am McFluffy, he doesn't update too often, but maybe if we nudge up, we'll be seeing more of him.
Kallixta's Notes is a Holy blog that has actually been around for quite some time. She chronicles her adventures through all the sides of Warcraft, from raiding, to leveling, to RPing to farming.
And last, but not least, Word of Glory is written by the lovely Lynesta. She's another who doesn't update often, but when she does, her posts are well written, her topics are relevant, her guides are helpful and she's overall a lovely voice to read.
Got a Paladin blog?
If you know of a paladin blog I've missed, let me know! I'll list all blogs that meet the following criteria:
1) Blog must have at least one regular paladin contributor (they don't necessarily have to write about paladin-related stuff)
2) Blog must have existed for at least two months, or one month if updated 3 or more times a week.
3) Blog must have been updated within the past month (some exceptions might apply, but they're really exceptions)
I'm not political when it comes to my paladin blogroll so if you're not listed, it's either because I'm a tad out of touch with the current blogosphere, or of oversight due to human error (I know it's hard to believe, but I do succumb to that on occasion ;D).
EDIT: And here are some more paladin-flavored blogs for your reading pleasure!
In the tanking department we've got Sheep the Diamond by Stubborn who doesn't write about tanking much, but when you stop by his blog, I can guarantee that you'll find pages and pages of insightful, thought-provoking posts.
In the healing corner, we've got Gina's Healbot.net, which I swear I have no idea how I missed her blog. (I mean, we'd even chatted on twitter a couple of times! Clearly I'm in the clouds these days.) Each one of her guides (and she's written a lot of them!) is perfectly planned out and incredibly easy to follow. Head to Healbot.net for paladin and priest healing guides, fantastic 10 man boss guides and discussions on healing.Explore posts in the same categories: Paperwork

Risk assessment
Growth still hampered by conflicts in border countries
Jordanian growth will remain moderate, partly due to the shaky confidence of private sector agents in the face of regional instability. As in the previous year, economic activity will be driven by the mining and tourism sectors. The latter is a particular focus for the government, which wants to double 2016 tourist numbers by 2020. As in the past, banking and insurance activities (20% of GDP in 2017) will be the main drivers of growth. Exports, which represent about 20% of GDP, are expected to increase slightly. However, they will continue to suffer from regional instability, despite the reopening of the border with Iraq in 2017. Since the Arab Spring movements of 2011, the kingdom has failed to encourage foreign or domestic investment. Although the authorities implemented measures in 2018 to remedy this situation, including offering people who invest in the country the opportunity to obtain Jordanian nationality under certain conditions, the effects of these steps are not expected to be significant in 2019. Domestic demand will remain constrained by the fiscal consolidation policy undertaken as part of an IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF). In addition to the unemployment rate, which is especially high among young people (18.7% in the second quarter of 2018), cuts to electricity, bread, and fuel subsidies – which were implemented in 2018 – are acting as a drag on private consumption and fuelling inflation. Despite this, inflation is expected to slow in 2019.
Difficulties in reducing the twin deficits
The pace of fiscal consolidation is expected to slow in 2019 due to popular protests. In 2018, many demonstrations were organised after the proposition of a bill whose measures would have included hiking the income tax and lowering the level of taxable income, among other measures. In response to these events, the government abandoned the bill, and Prime Minister Hani Mulki was forced to resign. His successor is therefore unlikely to significantly raise taxes, and subsequently tax revenues. At the same time, public spending is expected to increase, leading to a widening budget deficit. Public investment will focus notably on the tourism and transport sectors. The situation in the region will force the kingdom to maintain significant defence spending (8% of GDP in 2017). In 2018, protests over budget cuts attracted attention abroad. The country then received additional international assistance, which had previously been in decline, from neighbouring countries, as well as from the United States.
As the country is a net importer of oil, Jordan's current account balance depends on fluctuations in oil prices. Although the trade balance remains in deficit, the current account deficit is expected to shrink in 2019 and will continue to be limited by inflows of remittances from expatriates (8% of GDP in 2017). Inward foreign investment, mainly in the form of FDI (5% of GDP in 2017), as well as concessional loans from international donors, will help to finance this deficit. This will allow Jordan, whose total external debt is equal to more than 70% of GDP, to increase its foreign exchange reserves, which stood at seven months of imports in 2017.
The regime is being challenged by citizens in an unstable regional context
In a context of public discontent, Omar al-Razzaz's new government will have to reconcile IMF expectations with those of Jordan's citizens.
The country, which borders Syria and Iraq, hosts many refugees from these countries. In fact, over half of the population is made up of refugees, mainly from Palestine (24% of the population) and Syria (15%). Although the kingdom is trying to integrate Syrians, in particular by granting work permits, the refugee-welcoming policy pursued since the beginning of the Syrian conflict seems to be reaching its limits: in July 2018, the country barred several tens of thousands of Syrians from entering its territory. The return of Jordanians who had joined the Islamic State and possible ethnic tensions between communities will be major security challenges in 2019.
Relations with Israel seem cordial, despite Jordan's large Palestinian population and ties to Arab countries in the Gulf. Nevertheless, the kingdom's decision not to renew an agreement giving Israel control over land purchased by Jewish people in the 1920s could rekindle tensions between the two countries.
In 2019, the business climate will continue to suffer from regional instability, with Jordan rated 104th out of 190 countries in the Doing Business ranking.

Twenty-four is an improv show in real time. There are no cuts or edits, no jumps in time or space. All of the action takes place in one location in the same amount of time it takes to watch the show. The format leads to the actors being able to portray rich characters and develop deep relationships in the twenty four minutes they are together on stage. Last night, the cast of this Philly Improv Theater Fringe production put those skills on display expertly.
Twenty-four is a two act show, with the cast performing two separate monoscenes. Last night's performance featured two halves that showed off the cast member's range of styles and characters. The first scene took place in a hospital where a cast of characters all waited for their mutual acquaintance, played by Emily Davis, to give birth to her child. The story revealed a busy career woman, eager for her baby to arrive so that she may return to work and the people in her lives effected by her lifestyle. Her sperm donor (Mike Marbach) was curiously present at the hospital, while it was later revealed by her sister (Cait O'Driscoll) that there may be something more than just a one time donation going on. The future nanny of the child (Jessica Ross) handed out balloons and worried if she would be a good fit to take care of the child. The "facilitator" of the sperm donation (Bobbi Block) continued her role in the hospital as she calmed people down and was there to lend a helping hand in all the madness. The mother-to-be's assistant (Becca Trabin) came to deliver a present from the office, and ended up delivering something far more important (the baby!) All the action took place while an in-over-her-head candy stripe (Corin Wells) raced around a hospital she seemed to be the only employee of.
The strengths of the first act were in the strong character choices made by the cast. Each improvisor brought their own idea to their character and stuck with it to the end. Emily Davis showed the non stop work ethic of her career driven character even in the last moments of pregnancy. Mike Marbach did his best to remain supportive of the mother of his child even while those around him questioned their relationship. Corin Wells was overworked and exhausted as the seventeen-year-old candy stripe just trying to get community service hours so she can graduate. Becca Trabin portrayed the do-all assistant of a powerful business woman hilariously, showing how prepared one would have to be to be the right hand woman of a non stop workaholic.
The second act begins with director Steve Kleinedler telling the audience that a character of their choice will return for the second scene, and all the other actors would portray someone new. Becca Trabin's character was selected by one audience member, to cheers of approval from others. The second scene took place in a beauty salon while the patrons prepared for their prom, or "practice wedding" or were just there to have their hair done by the saucy salon staff. The first act of last night's show had characters entering and exiting the scene fluidly, changing focus and centering on different relationships at different times while the second act had more convergence. The scene began will all but one character (Marc Reber's salon worker - who would soon enter) on stage. Most of the performers were all on stage and in the scene at the same time, and the cast members handled the crowded scene excellently. Most of the time the conversation took place between a few characters while the rest of the cast patiently waited, flipping through magazines, or styling hair - but a few times, the stage was full of action with multiple conversations happening at once. The performers were adept, not letting the conversations become just a jumble of noise, but speaking up and quieting down to let the audience key in on the funny parts of what they each were saying.
Twenty-four is a sharply put together show with a diverse, skilled cast of improvisors that will make you care about the characters, draw you in to this moment in their lives, and make you laugh along the way.
There are still three chances to see twenty-four, tonight at 5pm, Tuesday, September 13 at 7pm, and Friday, September 16 at 830pm. All shows are at the Mainstage of the Adrienne Theater. Tickets can be purchased online.

This doesn't look much like a galaxy, but it is in fact the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the biggest satellite galaxies of our Milky Way. This awesome infrared image reveals the real look of this galaxy like never before.
While images taken in the optical wavelengths reveal a more familiar view of the Large Magellanic Cloud, this composite image created by the Herschel Space Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope reveals all the hidden dust clouds that seem to completely engulf the galaxy. Like many irregular galaxies, this galaxy is heaving with constant star formation, and that kicks up a ton of dust. NASA explains:
The dust temperatures tend to trace star forming activity. Spitzer data in blue hues indicate warm dust heated by young stars. Herschel's instruments contributed the image data shown in red and green, revealing dust emission from cooler and intermediate regions where star formation is just beginning or has stopped. Dominated by dust emission, the Large Magellanic Cloud's infrared appearance is different from views in optical images. But this galaxy's well-known Tarantula Nebula still stands out, easily seen here as the brightest region to the left of center.

Venerable Amphilochius, Abbot of Glushetsa
Saint Amphilochius, Abbot of Glushetsa, already a monk of priestly rank, came from Ustiug to Saint Dionysius of Glushetsa (July 1) in the year 1417. Saint Dionysius, learning of the wish of Amphilochius to become an ascetic, told him of the severity and harshness of life in his monastery, but this did not deter the newcomer. Then Saint Dionysius said, "If you wish to dwell here, then we shall make an accord not to be distinct one from another while we dwell upon the earth." Amphilochius joyfully agreed and vowed to fulfill the rule of the monastery.
The venerable Amphilochius spent twenty years in deeds of fasting, prayer and obedience under the guidance of Saint Dionysius, striving to imitate him in all things and assisting in the work of building up the monastery.
After the death of Saint Dionysius, Saint Amphilochius was the abbot of the Glushetsa monastery for fifteen years. He died peacefully in the year 1452, and was buried alongside his mentor.
