I would only recommend oatmeal for tormas that you would use for a maximum of two days or so because as it dries out it will crack. If you need to keep the torma around for awhile, you probably need to look for tsampa.

I can understand the reboot of Batman Series, but I cannot understand why Hulk was rebooted and now why do we have to reboot Spider-man?
Is it they are not able to write script in the same back-drop as the previous movies in the series? Is it because they are not able to write sequels or prequels that will not conflict with the story already told in the previous movies?

An Unexpected Source For 96 Inch Curtain Panels
What really caught my eye was the length.
And the price for these charcoal grey and cream chevron 96 inch panels wasn't too bad either - $29.99/each! Not a bad price at all for this long length.
I brought them home to hang in the guest bedroom. I added a little black grosgrain ribbon with my favorite no sew friend - liquid stitch.
I've only hung one so far. I'm so lazy - totally need to get on that.
Here's a closer look. I really love them.
Have you found any unexpected sources for long curtain panels? Why doesn't every store sell panels that come in a 96 inch length? The 84 inchers are almost never long enough!
38 comments:
Seriously this post came at the PERFECT time! Im in the middle of redoing our guest room and was just wondering what I was going to do about affordable curtains. I think I'll have to check out HoLo now. Plus when you factor in the coupon they become even more affordable. Thanks for sharing.

Please share the instructions on using liquid starch to attached ribbon.I am wanting to add ribbon to my panels, but I have no sewing skills and I want to be able to change out the ribbon. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteRepliesLiquid Stitch is just glue. Although it's pretty permanent - and can be washed. I used it a lot in college to hem pants because I'm so short and can't sew a straight line to save my life. ;) I have used a glue gun to attach ribbon before - and if you use one with a low heat temperature setting you can remove the ribbon later on without damaging the fabric but there will be a little glue residue left behind. Hope this helped!

My local Target has 95" ones right now on clearance - $11.98 a panel, I was thrilled! Very nice ones too.

I just saw these yesterday at Hobby Lobby. Same ones, three different colors. Did not even notice the length. Might have to find a room I can use these in.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousFebruary 7, 2013 at 9:22 AM
Bought these a few weeks ago in the green for my daughters room redo. We love them! And the fact you can wash and iron them doesn't hurt either :)Not to mention using coupon to get for cheaper!!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousFebruary 7, 2013 at 10:48 AM
I absolutely LOVE Hobby Lobby. When I lived in Atlanta, there was one across the street from my children's school, so I was in there all the time. Now we live up north and the closest one is in Pittsburgh (an hour & a half away). Anytime I need to go to the P'burgh airport, you can bet I factor in some extra time for a stop in Hobby Lobby!
I may need to make a special trip to Pburgh for these---did you notice if they had any other colors?? Also, they don't seem to be lined--are they substantial enough to provide privacy when closed, or do you have bamboo blinds or something else behind them?RepliesSo funny I used to live in Pittsburgh! These are not lined and have the look of a burlap - but without the smell. You could line them or just clip a solid white panel on the back with drapery clips. I have blinds on this window so I like the sheer breezy look. It gives them a nice casual look with the light filtering through. Not sure on the other colors - one reader mentioned green - I didn't even notice the other colors - I was so focused on grabbing these before someone else did ;)

Does anyone happen to know the brand name on those curtains? I would love some chevron curtains for my bedroom, but we don't have a Hobby Lobby here:(
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 14, 2013 at 10:23 AM
I picked these up when the curtains were 50% off so they were $16.xx each. Just like everything else at Hobby Lobby, they run that sale every month or so, just keep your eye out for it. Also the other colors they had at mine were green chevron, brown chevron, and blue chevron. Sally

OGDENSBURG The Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority will apply for $15 million from the state Department of Transportation to rehabilitate the U.S. approach to its Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge.
The funding source is DOTs Strategic Transportation Enhancements Program. OBPA submitted the application Friday and expects an answer in a month.
OBPA Executive Director Wade A. Davis is anticipating a positive response from DOT.
The authority is hopeful that the $15 million application to the New York State Department of Transportation STEP will be funded, he said Friday night. From the bridge inspection report, the bridge is in need of $100 million in maintenance. This application, if successful, would be a good start to the second phase of the rehabilitation process to protect an asset vital to the economy of Northern New York.
If DOT says yes to the OBPAs application, Mr. Davis said, things will start happening soon.
Its fast-track project, he said. This project is shovel-ready. Its a year from start to finish.
The project description in the OBPAs application explains in detail the work that needs to be done. It includes rehabilitation of eight 128-inch simple stinger spans and six 255-foot deck truss spans, painting of the structural steel, steel deck replacement and elimination of raised safety walks.
The project is expected to create 200 jobs.
According to the OBPAs application, Annually, over 800,000 vehicles and $4 billion of goods cross the international bridge and is key regional infrastructure to the NYS economy.
The bridge is 1.5 miles long and was built in 1960.
Last week, a seven-page report on the 53-year-old bridges 2012 biennial inspection by the Modjeski & Masters engineering firm, Poughkeepsie, concluded that the St. Lawrence River crossing was in satisfactory to good condition. But it needs more than $100 million worth of repairs to paint, fatigue-cracked steel, main cables and suspenders.

While having sex with a girl with pubic hair, light her pubes on fire as you ejaculate. Your semen will put out half of the burning hair, and afterwards while she is flapping her arms about wildly, scream: "YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BADGES TO TRAIN ME!" and run out of the room.

A sexual maneuver where a man pulls his penis out of the woman's vagina right before he ejaculates. The man, then, takes a swig of whiskey while proceeding to light a butane lighter. The man blows the flame onto the woman's pubic hairs lighting them on fire. Shortly afterwards, the man extinguishes the flames with his ejaculation.

One of my fond childhood memories and I have the balls to admit it! This was my favourite pokemon as a kid and YES I DID like pokemon as a kid, just like everyone else in the entire world did at the time. So you people my age really need to stop hating on pokemon, it's not as embarrassing as it's made out!
Charizard was one of the most powerful non-legendary pokemon around.

It is the final form of Charmander. this flying type Pokemon will light your ass up with his firebreathing mouth. charizard is also known to pwn every pokemon known to professor oak (and colleagues) with exception to mew, Mewtwo, and Jigglypuff. overall, charizard will pwn any and every other pokemon in the species of pokemon.

- Michael's tongue in cheek question of the day.Will NetBSD stand a chance on the desktop?
Phoronix: NetBSD: Will It Stand As A Light Desktop?
Back in 2009 there was the announcement that there was going to be a new project out of the NetBSD camp aiming for am x86 NetBSD desktop system that would be fairly easy to use. It's been over three years and there hasn't been much work on the NetBSD desktop front, but now there comes word of a new NetBSD "light desktop" effort inspired by the LXDE Ubuntu derivative...
- Michael's tongue in cheek question of the day.Will NetBSD stand a chance on the desktop?
Michael stop trolling.
NetBSD is dead.
I fail to see how netbsd is dead... It moves even slower than debian but then that also can be an advantage.
I don't know why I would want to use NetBSD instead of Linux as desktop.
Maybe NetBSD should focus more on the server where they can do some cool things a clean architecture.
Hopefully something that benefits upstreams.
Lack of clear goals. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-...8/30/0016.html
That's a 6-year-old e-mail. I would hazard to suggest some things might have changed since then.
Sure, NetBSD moves slowly, and yes, some things could *definitely* use improvement (why in the world do they not have DRM modesetting yet?), but there are some definite advantages to NetBSD, namely, clean, portable, simple code. Maybe the project needs a good fork right now, but it seems a shame to let quality code like that rot, and NetBSD is still in common use (embedded Apple products, NASA, etc) where a simple OS is needed for something that needs to be reliable.

Ford Center for the Performing Arts (Oriental Theatre)
This 1926 movie palace's rebirth as a magnificent venue for live theater is another wonderful addition to the emerging North Loop Theater District.
Bank of America Theatre
The Bank of America Theatre opened in 1906 originally as the Majestic Theatre in downtown Chicago. The theater has gone through a couple of different name changes including recently the LaSalle Bank Theatre, and the Sam Shubert Theatre before that. The Bank of America Theatre box office has been host to many traveling Broadway shows and events since it's most recent renovation in 2006.
Broadway in Chicago
Broadway In Chicago presents the hottest shows in Chicago's bustling Downtown Theater District. On the stages of the Oriental Theatre, Cadillac Palace Theatre, Bank of America Theatre, Auditorium Theatre and Broadway Playhouse, you will discover theater productions direct from Broadway, along with world premieres.

Paramount Theatrical Production: Oklahoma!
This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all is the rugged cowboy Curly who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma!

All scholarships are subject to the availability of funds and are subject to change.
Any reduction in semester credit hours below the minimum before the twelfth class day will be subject to revocation of scholarship and the student will be responsible for any charges incurred. Any change after the twelfth class day is not subject to a reduction but may hinder future awards
A withdrawal from the University prior to the University official census date will revoke the scholarship. The student will be responsible for any charges incurred. A withdrawal from the University after the University official census date is not subject to revocation, however the student is still responsible for any charges incurred by the withdrawal.
All scholarship recipients awarded through the A&M-Texarkana Financial Aid Office are required to be degree-seeking or certificate seeking with A&M-Texarkana.
University scholarship awards cannot exceed a student's full tuition and fee charges
University academic scholarship recipients may also pursue "need-based" financial aid, however, the student's total award may not exceed the student's "financial need" as determined by the Federal Need Analysis. In some cases, a student's financial aid award must be reduced or cancelled in order for the student to receive the scholarship.
Waivers to the scholarship criteria will be made for special circumstances only, and will be approved by the University Scholarship Committee and the University President. These waivers will allow for special circumstances including but not limited to illness, death of a family member, deployment, special work conditions or other good cause.
Renewable Scholarships
All academic scholarship recipients are REQUIRED to submit a "letter of appreciation" to the Financial Aid Office with the name of their scholarship included in the letter.
If the student receiving the Albert Loftin Scholarship does not enroll at A&M-Texarkana or does not remain enrolled as a full-time student, the scholarship becomes an interest-bearing note. The first payment will be due October 1st, with compound interest accruing at 10% effective September 1st. The total amount of Loftin Scholarship funds received to date must then be repaid within twelve (12) months. (EXCEPTION: Student teaching will be considered as full-time for scholarship purposes only).
Partial Satisfactory Academic Progress will be monitored at the end of each semester. Full Satisfactory Academic Progress will be monitored at the end of Spring (or Summer for Arnold Awards only). Students will be responsible for contacting the Financial Aid Office once all summer grades are posted, in order to be reviewed for scholarship renewal.
A student who wishes to appeal this ruling on the basis of "extenuating circumstances" must do so in writing to the Financial Aid Office. The appeal decision will be made by the Appeal Committee, and the student will be notified by email of the decision.
All scholarship recipients are selected without discrimination based on age, sex, race, or religion.

The question should be who still uses ffmpeg? Maybe the win builds of vlc or the integrated ffmpeg in xbmc, but most others use libav.
Phoronix: FFmpeg Reaches Version 1.0
While we have been looking towards an FFmpeg 1.0 release for nearly one year, the version 1.0 release of the popular FFmpeg library was finally tagged after being in development for more than one decade...
The question should be who still uses ffmpeg? Maybe the win builds of vlc or the integrated ffmpeg in xbmc, but most others use libav.
ffmpeg is install by its name. But on terminal level, this message is displayed: ffmpeg version 0.8.3-6:0.8.3-4, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers
built on Jun 26 2012 09:26:41 with gcc 4.7.1
This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead.
Hyper fast Audio and Video encoder
usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...
Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'
so is ffmpeg going to be dropped?
Although I think the fork was a good thing, I still use FFmpeg on Gentoo because I haven't had any compelling reason to switch yet.
I hadn't heard about libfdk-aac before. That's great news. My entire collection is ripped with crappy old FAAC. I always thought it sounded okay though so I'm not about to re-encode it all, especially since it took so long the first time. It's just nice to have something better now. It looks like it still doesn't support surround greater than 5.1 but I'm happy using Ogg Vorbis for that instead.
I seriously doubt that. Here is a blog post about the subject
I tried libav some months ago on Gentoo but was still running into a lot of problems since some apps absolutely seemed to depend on ffmpeg but I couldn't have both on my system.
The ffmpeg package in Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) is actually a concealed libav library, because the package maintainer took libav's side during the feud. None of the other major distributions made libav default, the "program is deprecated" message is just a childish FUD from the libav devs.
Awesome, this is quite impeccable timing! I was just wondering about when they are going to release a new version. Didn't expect it to be a 1.0, though. Once this gets published and picked up by Packman developers, I will be able to get rid of a custom-compiled version of it I have sitting in my /opt, as there is one critical performance fix in later commits that allows for recording PulseAudio and video streams at the same time without dropping frames. Good job, FFmpeg devs!
It was an interesting read there, Teho. It looks like libav developers hit the same problem that they tried to avoid in the first place... But at least the competition allows for the betterment of FFmpeg. They should become more separate indeed, to have more than just a name and attitude difference.
Oxelon Media Converter on Windows uses ffmpeg. It used to be a great media converter, but it now crashes everytime. Oh well.
I'm glad to see this and gstreamer having stable releases.

Microsoft reboots the experience with new Windows Phone OS
Via Engagdet: "The phone operating system does away with pretty much every scrap of previous mobile efforts from Microsoft, from the look and feel down to the underlying code—everything is brand new." Video:
Microsoft has officially unveiled its new mobile OS and wiped its slate entirely clean of the oft derided Windows Mobile platform. New code, new name, and a new experience that builds on that of the Zune. It's great to see Microsoft really do its own thing here and by the looks of it do it well. Looks like we may have three viable smartphone OSes now.
Microsoft's new UI makes the iPhone's actually look out-of-date and it's fantastic to see so much courage and innovation from them. I would actually be more excited about a tablet with this OS than the iPad. The official video:
Check out the official site, too.
Interestingly it looks as there will be no Flash support in this release. Considering that Microsoft has a direct competitor to Flash in Silverlight this does make some sense. Adobe's announcement of AIR for smartphone platforms somewhat undermines another attempt at killing off the platform, however.
Add new comment
Windows phone OS? it sounds great. I have been using Android and am looking for something like this.
My understanding is that Flash was not going to be available in the first release but it is coming according to Adobe.
That to me is a big win over the iPhone.
The OS7 is a step forward for MS but 'courageous' is not the word I would use to describe a company that stubbornly puts aesthetics and usability at the bottom of their list. It feels like a new generation of MS designers has forced MS to change it's ways.
My UX observations:
The lack of iconography forces the OS to use a lot of words and pictures. This can be taxing on the screen real estate and foreign language porting.
There are a lot of multi-screen menus, drilling down to necessary data may be time consuming, I hope they can create short work for busy people (and our fingers).
Looking forward to the UX MAG review.
Not necessarily UX, but business minded individuals may not want the lifestyle menus and transitions to clutter their efficiency.
The Zune is a casual entertainment device, a Phone is a different tool, though it can be entertaining, there seems to be efficiency sacrifices being payed toward the god of 'cool'.
Overall, its an attractive experience, I hope they have the 'courage' to use it in their actual OS.
And will be ready Late 2010 - nearly 4 years after the iPhone was announced. 3.5 years after the iPhone was launched. Is that still considered an innovation in today's environment?

I like to explore computer and physical security, ride bicycles, and kindly ask computers to obey me.
Hack placidly amidst the noisy printers and remember what prizes there may be in Science. As fast as possible get a good terminal on a good system. Enter your data clearly but always encrypt your results. And listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, for they may be your customers. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, for they are sales reps. If you compare your outputs with those of others, you may be surprised, for always there will be greater and lesser numbers than you have crunched. Keep others interested in your career, and try not to fumble; it can be a real hassle and could change your fortunes in time. Exercise system control in your experiments, for the world is full of bugs. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for linearity and everywhere papers are full of approximations. Strive for proportionality. Especially, do not faint when it occurs. Neither be cyclical about results; for in the face of all data analysis it is sure to be noticed. Take with a grain of salt the anomalous data points. Gracefully pass them on to the youth at the next desk. Nurture some mutual funds to shield you in times of sudden layoffs. But do not distress yourself with imaginings -- the real bugs are enough to screw you badly. Murphy's Law runs the Universe -- and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt <Curl>B*n dS = 0. Therefore, grab for a piece of the pie, with whatever proposals you can conceive of to try. With all the crashed disks, skewed data, and broken line printers, you can still have a beautiful secretary. Be linear. Strive to stay employed. -- Technolorata, "Analog"

RATINGS: 1560 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.93 SEASONAL: Winter EST. CALORIES: 360 ABV: 12%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Stille Nacht (Silent Night) is a prestige beer from De Dolle Brouwers brewed for Christmas. It has the highest density of any Belgian beer (27°Pl), has been boiling for 5 hours, brewed with pale malt with white candi sugar in the kettle. The Nugget hops and dry hopping gives an extra bitterness to balance the extreme sweetness due to the density. The taste triangle is completed with some acidity of the fermentation. It is a very interesting beer to age. We have samples of every bottling we have done so far and aging does not mean decreasing quality with this beer. Keep some samples at 10°C and mark the year on the cap with an alcohol marker. Cheers!!

hi i have just started to really get into surfing and was wondering what thickness of a wet suit i should get for when it gets cold. i surf at holden beach and ocean isle. they are on the southern edge of NC. i was thinking a 3/2 suit might be ok, but does the water get too cold for that in the middle of the winter? im new to the whole wet suit thing so i dont really know much.
also if anyone surfs near there and would like to have someone to surf with im looking for people. Im 24 and i usually go everyother weekend. i hate surfing by myself though and none of my friends like it enough that they are interested in surfing in colder months. i stay near holden beach because thats where my parents have a place. im just a beginner and have just gotten to the point where i can go sideways on the waves and ride in front of where it breaks. i ride a 8'4" long board, and i bought a 6'8" fun board. although im afraid i might be a hair to heavy for it, because it feels pretty sluggish when i stand up on it compared to my long board.
anyway thanks for any help

Marketing means different things to different people. How do you decide who to aim a campaign at? If you already have a background in marketing, this unit will improve your understanding of market orientation and (going to market). It also assesses the importance of managing key internal and external relationships.
After studying this session, you should be able to:
- describe the difference between marketing as a function and the concept of being market led;
- evaluate whether an organisation is market led;
- evaluate the relevance of marketing concepts to your own and other organisations, whether commercial (for-profit) or non-profit;
- identify your own customers and consumers;
- list the tangible and intangible elements of your own products and services;
- evaluate the role of relationships in adding value to market-led organisations;
- identify the key relationships and markets in a case study;
- identify key market-led relationships within your own organisation.
- Duration 4 hours
- Updated Wednesday 27th July 2011
- Advanced level
- Posted under Business Studies
The market-led organisation
This unit is divided into two sections: 'Understanding market orientation' and 'Managing a market-led organisation'. In Section 1 'Understanding market orientation' sets out different approaches to marketing. I argue that marketing should not be the property of just the marketing department but an organisation-wide philosophy that centres on satisfying customers. The way in which marketing ideas can be applied to non-profit organisations is also discussed.
In Section 2 'Managing a market-led organisation', I go on to discuss the importance of managing key internal and external relationships.

Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs #8 Putter
Product Overview
This precision-crafted, milled putter was engineered using direct feedback from some of the best players on Tour, enabling us to dial in shape, feel and finish. The #8 Model features a classic heel-shafted blade with a slant-neck hosel. The TD Milled Face increases interaction between the face and the ball for better feel, distance control and smooth roll. And the Deep Black PVD finish offers a rich look with reduced glare that many Tour players prefer.
A.R.T. (Advanced Roll Technology) is achieved through multi-material construction. A urethane dampening layer is subtly placed between the 1025 carbon steel head and the independently milled tungsten flange. This results in a lower, deeper center of gravity for better, quicker and truer roll. The TD Milled Face has a precise, deep pattern that generates consistent impact performance for better feel, distance control and smooth roll. The putter also features the new high-tech Deep Black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Finish that produces a durable, glare-free look added specifically based on feedback from Tour pros.

As most are already aware, LinuxCon North America 2011 is taking place this week in Vancouver, Canada.

Here are some photos from the special event.

Abel set the bar for craftsmanship and quality in fly reels over 20 years ago, and just like then, every single part of their reels is hand-made in Camarillo, California, right down to the cork drag and the screws that hold it in place. This quality truly shows on the water, with the 'stop-a-sub' drag that can be set light enough to protect even the thinnest of tippet. Their unique and unmatched anodization process also yields their trademark custom finishes unrivaled on the market today. A reel colored to match your rod? Done. A fish graphic representing your favorite species? No problem. With an infiite amount of customization possible, make your Abel one of a kind.

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Humorist)
Comedy has a popular meaning (stand-up, along with any discourse generally intended to amuse), which differs from its academic definition, namely the comic theatre, whose Western origins are found in Ancient Greece. The theatrical genre can be simply described as a dramatic performance pitting two societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. Comedy contains variations on the elements of surprise, incongruity, conflict, repetitiveness, and the effect of opposite expectations, and there are many recognized genres.
- I think that the tendency for most people is to fall back on a comic interpretation of things — because things are so sad, so terrible. If you didn't laugh you'd kill yourself. But the truth of the matter is that existence in general is very very tragic, very very sad, very brutal and very unhappy.
- What we eventually run up against are the forces of humourlessness, and let me assure you that the humourless as a bunch don't just not know what's funny, they don't know what's serious. They have no common sense, either, and shouldn't be trusted with anything.
- Martin Amis, "Political Correctness: Robert Bly and Philip Larkin" (1997)
- By calling him humourless I mean to impugn his seriousness, categorically: such a man must rig up his probity ex nihilo.
- Martin Amis, Experience (2000), Part I: "Failures of Tolerance"
- Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.
- Karl Barth, as quoted in The Harper Book Of Quotations (1993) edited by Robert I. Fitzhenry, p. 223
- Humor tells you where the trouble is.
- Louise Bernikow, in Alone in America: The Search for Companionship (1986), p. 113
- Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
- Mel Brooks, The 2,000 Year Old Man (1961)
- It is the duty of the humor of any given nation in time of high crisis to attack the catastrophe that faces it in such a manner as to cause the people to laugh at it in such a way that they cannot die before they are killed.
- Lord Buckley, "H-Bomb" (1960), a comic monologue), as quoted in "It's Comedy! From Skit To Song To Satire" in The New York Times (27 October 1989)
- Comedy is tragedy plus time.
- Carol Burnett, as quoted in Starting from Scratch (1989) by Rita Mae Brown
- Humor is properly the exponent of low things; that which first renders them poetical to the mind. The man of Humor sees common life, even mean life, under the new light of sportfulness and love; whatever has existence has a charm for him. Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius. He who wants it, be his other gifts what they may, has only half a mind; an eye for what is above him, not for what is about him or below him.
- Thomas Carlyle, in 'Schiller" (1831), in Fraser's Magazine; later in Critical and Miscellaneous Essays (1839)
- Imagine if you could actually be that happy? That would be powerful, man. People would be tunneling under the street to avoid you. They'd go "Oh, man — is that happy guy still out there?
- Jim Carrey, in Jim Carrey's Unnatural Act (1991)
- There are two thoughts that will ensure success in all you do; (1) Don't tell everything you know, and (2) until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
- Jim Carrey, as quoted in Major in Success (2003) by Patrick Combs and Jack Canfield (2003), p. 60.
- The most difficult character in comedy is that of the fool, and he must be no simpleton that plays the part.
- Miguel de Cervantes, as quoted in The Two Hands of God: The Myths of Polarity (1969) by Alan Watts
- It is not funny that anything else should fall down, only that a man should fall down … Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
- G. K. Chesterton, "Spiritualism", in All Things Considered (1908)
- Don't you know Sunday? Don't you know that his jokes are always so big and simple that one has never thought of them?
- G. K. Chesterton, in The Man Who Was Thursday (1908), Ch. X: The Duel
- A joke's a very serious thing.
- Charles Churchill, The Ghost (1763), book iv, line 1386
- If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And, if I can persuade you to laugh at a particular point that I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge it as true.
- John Cleese, as quoted in What Winners Do to Win! : The 7 Minutes a Day That Can Change Your Life (2003) by Nicki Joy, p. 113
- Not living in fear is a great gift, because certainly these days we do it so much. And do you know what I like about comedy? You can't laugh and be afraid at the same time — of anything. If you're laughing, I defy you to be afraid.
- Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humour?
- Frank Moore Colby, (1926) The Colby Essays, Vol. 1., "Satire and Teeth". Reported in Robert Andrews, The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, Columbia University Press. (1993) ISBN 0231071949. p. 431
- I think you are absolutely right about everything, except I think humor springs from rage, hay fever, overdue rent and miscellaneous hell.
- Will Cuppy, in a letter to Max Eastman, 1936, about Eastman's book, The Enjoyment of Laughter
- Unpublished source: "Eastman mss.", Lilly Library Manuscript Collections, Indiana University
- I detest jokes – when somebody tells me one I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn't know it's funny or doesn't treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it's a sort of rage against society.
- John Christopher "Johnny" Depp. From an interview in Live magazine, "Here's Johnny", The Mail on Sunday, October 30 2011, interviewed by Martyn Palmer
- Thou canst not joke an Enemy into a Friend; but thou may'st a Friend into an Enemy.
- There are no exact guidelines. There are probably no guidelines at all. The only thing I can recommend at this stage is a sense of humor, an ability to see things in their ridiculous and absurd dimensions, to laugh at others and at ourselves, a sense of irony regarding everything that calls out for parody in this world.
- I never dare to write
As funny as I can.- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., in The Height of the Ridiculous (1852)
- I can't even really tell a joke. I find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it and I feel guilty saying that, but it's the truth. I love my work but it ain't easy.
- The more one suffers, the more, I believe, has one a sense for the comic. It is only by the deepest suffering that one acquires true authority in the use of the comic, an authority which by one word transforms as by magic the reasonable creature one calls man into a caricature.
- Søren Kierkegaard, in Stages on Life's Way (1845)
- The law of levity is allowed to supersede the law of gravity.'
- R. A. Lafferty, in Space Chantey (1968)
- That's part of our policy, is not to be taken seriously, because I think our opposition, whoever they may be, in all their manifest forms, don't know how to handle humor. You know, and we are humorous, we are, what are they, Laurel and Hardy. That's John and Yoko, and we stand a better chance under that guise, because all the serious people, like Martin Luther King, and Kennedy, and Gandhi, got shot.
- John Lennon, as quoted in a BBC interview with David Wigg (8 May 1969)
- Creator — A comedian whose audience is afraid to laugh.
- H. L. Mencken, in A Mencken Chrestomathy, ch. 30 (1949)
- Humor is the contemplation of the finite from the point of view of the infinite.
- Christian Morgenstern, as quoted in The Hidden Souls of Words (2004) by Mary Cox Garner, p. 142
- Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
- Christopher Morley, as quoted in An Enchanted Life : An Adept's Guide to Masterful Magick (2001) by Patricia Telesco, p. 189
- As soon as you realize everything's a joke, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.
- Alan Moore, in Watchmen (1986)
- I'd like to make you laugh for about ten minutes. Though I'm gonna be on for an hour.
- Richard Pryor, reported in [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4517750.stm "In quotes: Richard Pryor" at BBC News (11 December 2005)
- Now everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody Else, but when it happens to you, why it seems to lose some of its Humor, and if it keeps on happening, why the entire laughter kinder Fades out of it.
- Will Rogers, in "Warning to Jokers: Lay off the Prince", in The Illiterate Digest (1924), p. 131
- Nothing is more curious than the almost savage hostility that Humour excites in those who lack it.
- George Saintsbury, in A Last Vintage, p. 172
- Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
- Peter Ustinov, as quoted in Morrow's International Dictionary of Contemporary Quotations (1982) by Jonathon Green
- The man with the real sense of humor is the man who can put himself in the spectator's place and laugh at his own misfortunes. That is what I am called upon to do every day.
- Bert Williams, minstrel show comedian, in "The Comic Side of Trouble" in The American Magazine (January 1918), p. 33

Inside the Reporter's Notebook: GSA FAS, shared services and DHS contract awards
Friday - 1/11/2013, 6:50pm EST
Welcome to my new feature, "Inside the Reporter's Notebook," where every two weeks I'll dispatch news and information you may have missed or that slipped through the cracks at conferences, hearings and the like.
This is not a column nor commentary — it's news tidbits, strongly sourced buzz and other items of interest that have happened or are happening in the federal IT and acquisition communities.
As always, I encourage you to submit ideas, suggestions, and, of course, news to me at email@example.com.
There's a lot of talk in the acquisition community about who will be the next Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner at the General Services Administration. The buzz is around three names, Mary Davie, the acting FAS Commissioner and long-time GSA acquisition person, Tom Sharpe, the Treasury Department's chief acquisition officer, and, what some are calling an industry dark horse, Raj Sharma, CEO of Censeo Consulting Group, which has been working with GSA to implement strategic sourcing. Several sources tell me Davie is the best candidate, but from what I gather a decision isn't final.
A couple of data points for an industry friend to keep in mind:
- Government and industry say the past three FAS commissioners — Marty Wagner, Jim Williams, Steve Kempf — managed effectively. All of them had extensive prior federal acquisition operations and IT policy experience.
- When GSA has hired someone with mostly or all private-sector experience, they were selecting second tier candidates and things didn't work as well as they hoped, think Martha Johnson, Lurita Doan and Emily Murphy. "For the most part, they are good people, but they were over their heads and couldn't manage effectively in a government environment."
The Office of Management and Budget once again is trying to push agencies toward financial management shared services. At the Association of Government Accountants event Thursday, which was closed to the press for some odd reason, industry and government sources tell me OMB Controller Danny Werfel announced Treasury would be the agency lead for "shared services 2.0" (my name, not Werfel's). According to tweets from AGA, Werfel said the administration needs to aggressively challenge the agencies to find common, basic structures to take advantage of the cost benefits of migrating to shared services. Werfel also said, according to AGA tweets, medium and large agencies need to aggressively move toward shared services.
I've asked OMB for more details on the financial management shared services strategy, including an interview with Werfel. A recent Federal News Radio survey of CFOs found they are skeptical of shared services.
Under the Bush administration, OMB pushed agencies toward using shared services providers for financial management, but decided not to make it mandatory and therefore few large agencies actually made the move.
One industry source familiar with the plan tells me OMB may not be including the private sector in this round, instead wanting agencies to use government providers, such as Interior's National Business Center or Treasury's Administrative Resource Center. The source expressed some concern if that's the plan, government providers would struggle to meet the needs of truly large agencies such as Homeland Security or Veterans Affairs.
Here's another after-effect of the Defense Department's $1 billion failed personnel management systems, called, the Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS), the Air Force finally is updating its internal HR system five years later.
And the service is using the cloud. The Air Force said this week that it's putting its Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) in the cloud managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency.
For the next 23 days, MilPDS will go down while the Air Force moves it to DISA's Defense Enterprise Computing Center, known as the DISA DECs.
Moving to DISA's cloud isn't all that surprising as the Army, the Joint Chiefs and others are putting their email in the DECs, but this may be one of the first major HR systems going there.
It would be interesting to see if the Air Force's move to the cloud was more about a faster path to upgrades than actual savings.
The Air Force said it now will "bring MilPDS up-to-date in order to reduce risks."
"We are confident that we will be able to upgrade MilPDS in March so we can address security, reliability and sustainability risks with the current system," said Robert Corsi, Air Force assistant deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services, in a release. "We will have processes in place to ensure personnel and pay service providers are able to work critical transactions for their customers during the upgrade."
