Walter Bagehot (1826-1877), a British journalist and early editor of The Economist, specialized in institutional economic issues. He had a particular interest in central banks, interest rates, and the money supply. His writings on how monetary institutions (today called Central Banks) behave and why, and how they interact with "credit cycles" (today called business cycles) influenced later institutions from the Federal Reserve System to the International Monetary Fund.

Uberman Quotes 2016
Quotes from the original professor of "black pill" Uberman from getbig.com
Listen, we are animals and we re just designed to find mates to reproduce with, then we re supposed to maximize the odds of survival of offspring by helping it dominate the competition instead of being dominated by it. The healthiest, strongest, richest the partner is, the better odds of survival for the eventual offspring obtained with him/her. Thats what all animals do, they struggle daily and indefinitely to find, obtain and maintain/improve the highest odds of survival for themselves and their offsprings. Everything you do, think, is geared toward this unique goal, purpose.
Males /females relaltionships in all animal species are based on this very basic principle that motivates absolutely every single thought and action we automoatically and subconsciously produce at any given time.
We re automated war machines also known as "lifeforms" that consume resources until there are none anymore.
the american dream = biggest unscrupulous assholes dominate weaker losers and eradicate them
It s a fact, majority of immigrants dont come to integrate but to import their way of life in the host's country. Also they re breeding way more than whiteys which means that logically, mathematically, they re going to outnumber them in the end, as simple as that, if you dont reproduce enough or more than other races, you get replaced by them. Immigrants are FORCED to assimilate when they are a very few in an ocean of natives, to survive they must become just like the hosts. When immigrants come in large groups and constantly stick together, they have no reason to assimilate no incentive to do so, and they import their way of life and then being more numerous impose it to the natives that are in smaller numbers before litteraly booting them out of their own place after a while. Quite simple to understand really. The same shit applies everywhere in the world, notably with muslims in europe.
Trump doesnt intend to become president, he knows he has no serious chance anyway, so he goes straight to the point speaking his mind. But wether it s in europe or north america, it s way past the right time to tell these truths. Money rules, rich cynical elites rule and they promote multiculturalism to lower salaries and crush the middle and lower social classes for their profits. Middle and lower white social classes are getting massacrated by their elites who flood them under waves and waves of cheap third worlders. The white race is isolated, self hating, depressed and in decline demographically, period. We re facing extinction, a slow, gradual but certain extinction.
The irony is that mexicans are mostly catholics that some of our white catholic ancestors converted to christianism. Their jesus and god are probably latino looking. They re crushing the atheist white dysfunctional family with their strong family ties and "faith", promise of eradicating the old corrupt white man - and woman-, they have that same revenge logic that muslims in europe have. Just like muslims in europe are convinced they re destined to replace the dying atheist lost and corrupt white man there. Believers, whatever they believe in, are crushing atheists, who mostly happen to be whites.
The other funny part is that most white people will end in retirement homes that are mostly ruled by ...mexican nurses.
Also when it comes to listening to one's opinion about immigration, i always tend to listen to the one who s actually really facing it daily with his guts, to get a realistic point of view, than some asshole who has no idea what is it really about and simply repeat cliche mantras about how great they are and how hard it is for them to make himself look better.
I worked in nursing homes and psych wards while a student, for three weeks each... it's hell on earth. Psychological hell. Basically all staff members without exception are enjoying laughing openly at weakened and mostly isolated people daily and you can feel the obvious inhuman suffering of customers patients whose bodies and minds are slowly decomposing day after day and cant say or do shit about it. At this point most are sedated without consent with powerful anti psychotics to accelerate the global -physical and psychological- decline so another customer patient can replace them. As a patient, you re stripped of all your rights and are forced to comply with all coercitive behaviors of the so called "care givers". Most family members that sometimes came visiting them barely cared about what happened to them and you could sense it. They would just come to give themselves good conscience. Sometimes they would even laugh at the old patients with staff members...Everyone pretending all was fine and well. If the old patient says something out of place he/she knows he s going to get even more bullied once family leaves.
Most of these institutions are businesses and the dying human beings there are resources to "manage". They re financed by big pharmaceutical companies that provide them with the "drugs" which are subtly designed to accelerate their killing by deteriorating their brains and metabolism.
What i learnt there was that if for some reasons im not able to die in my bed at home surounded by close relatives, i d prefer to end on the streets dying of cold or shooting myself rather than ending there. A real life changing experience to spend some time there.
The irony is that these buildings are full of people who were convinced they d end bed ridden at home surrounded by caring family members...I remember an old man in a wheelchair quickly whispering in my hear while we were alone "this place isnt an hospital, it' s a prison". He pretty much summed my feelings in one sentence a few days before i left.
in all times, soldiers have always been mercenaries , paid by the richest , strongest, to defend them from the poorer, weakest.
That's nature. An intelligent, philosophical soldier always end killing himself . Most soldiers are guys nobody know what to do with and are sent in the army by their own family to bring some money in. Needless to say if they die...well, at least family keeps getting the money.
Now im grown up and figured the ways of this world, i have 0 compassion for cops or military. They re all assholes.
elites of all countries have always been impressed by eugenics and the global control/ genocide of poorer , weaker people they see as a danger as long as they cant work in their fields and factories. Most white elites of europe were pro nazism/eugenics before it turned against their interests. Churchill was quoted saying he somewhat respected and admired nazi ideals, of course he then modified his views to fit the reality as all politicians do.
women created this world by feminizing their sons after neutering their fathers or booting them out. Women have taken over. And the anciently christian civilization is now an atheist and feminist, nihilistic, superficial society on the decline. Again muslims and chinese will roll over what is left of the white race very soon.
it doesnt require to be christian/religious to see whats wrong with homosexuality. It s just common sense and has always been seen as something abnormal in all human and animal societies. Just like pedophilia and zoophilia or necrophilia.
Now it s becoming a norm, trend in the west and only there, simply because the atheist west is in complete decline. Homosexuality is at its core, a nihilistic , suicidal behavior. Feminists who took over males in the west of course encourage it; males submit by wanting to become women in order to survive. Obviously females have completely taken over males in atheist, white societies.
There is no doubt in my mind the white race is heading the way of the dodo. No way muslims or chinese ever fall into that nihilistic, suicidal stance. They ll gladly take over what we leave behind us.
the rich man will always trouble the poor. Just like the weak monkey will always be harassed by the alpha monkeys. When you re a kid everything sounds fun until you re an adult and realize it s all about killing instead of being killed; all the "games" you "played" were just training for the real fight once grown up. Games serve only one purpose in all animal species: train to kill for when you ll be on your own.
Some are better prepared for it than others, and history is written by the winners.
Pleasure is felt when killing, dominating, pain is felt when losing, being dominated.
"Since we already know the ending, may as well make the time in between at least somewhat pleasant somehow. "
problem is to be happy, you ve got to step on someone else's head and actually face his/her pain to feel "luckier" and "happier" then him/her. One 's pleasure, hapiness, is always at the expense of someone's else pleasure, that s just the way it is. A winner needs losers to actually feel like a winner, otherwise he wouldnt feel like one. Nature isnt designed to be fair, all lifeforms exploit each others to "make a living" , survive.
Also most people who pretend to be happy because they ' re "helping" others are actually fooling themselves; they re in fact exploiting others weaknesses to make a living. Their ultimate goal cant be to completely cure their customers/patients problems; otherwise they wouldnt have a job anymore. They need a steady stream of "unlucky" people to "take care" of. Most social work is lucky people exploiting poorer, unlucky people. Irony is the rich need poor people to exploit and make a living while the poor constantly wish to become as strong as their masters to.. join and/or replace them.
There s a reason why so called "human resources" exist, it s because the weak is a resource for the strong. In all animals species, the luckiest, strongest, fastest individuals exploit, prey, on the weaker individuals and use them as slaves/resources.
And yeah, everything is vain for whoever understands the true nature of existence.
the success of facebook only proves humans are vain egocentrical worthless hypocritical animals. Whatever their skin color btw.
love the little buddha statue at the bottom of screen to make the whole presentation even "healthier" and legit. You know you re facing a charlatan everytime buddhism is brought up by a westerner.
worked in IT for 6 years webdesigner/content manager and other bullshit titles -basically laughing all day with collegues surfing playing games and "working" like two or three hours a day-, got bored of office work, thought i wanted a" more meaningful" role and career...got into studies/health and social work... oh boy what a mistake. It was way less stressing to displace files , create some bullshit graphics , "code" websites and answer fucking emails all day. Sure it can get repetitive and boring, you want to smash your computer/mouse but are you really sure you want more stress? Given the choice now, i would choose boredom over stress. I learned nothing really good about life attempting to care about people needs, mostly that some people are luckier than others and...thats all. Most of the time you cant do jack shit to help people, you re just sitting there telling them stuff they either cant comprehend or cant really do. All they want are money/free handouts. And i dont even blame them. I came to despise all the collegues -mostly women- i had because they were making fun of the people they were supposed to help more tha anything. Comparing themselves to those who have less to make themselves feel better about their own lives. It s rampant in all the system, i leared that most doctors hate mankind and their patients with a passion. No really, health and social working are definitely not for me, way too cynical.
I regret so fucking much leaving IT now, im considering going back but it s tough. Seriously, stay sit in your fucking chair doing fuck all, there s no better place to spend the rest of your life. As you age the less stress you feel at work the better. Stress takes its toll way faster. Just my opinion. Stay healthy, practice sport, stay sit in a chair moving a mouse as a job and you ll live til you re 120. Isnt it what it s all about in the end, what truly matters, lasting longer than anyone else.
When i was a kid i thought space was all about tie fighters, x wings firing lasers and planets full of funny looking "aliens".
Now i realize space is an uterly uninteresting, depressing empty cold dark place and that if an alien race exists/didnt destroy itself before leaving its planet it would probably destroy us if they ever found us.
It s called growing up and realizing how shitty life is at its core. Most old people who survived long enough to see most of their peers die of cancer or suicide know the truth. They enjoy life as much as they can when they can for the luckiest of them, not giving a fuck about what will follow, simply because they know that what will follow is ... more and more competition, more and more wars until nothing is left at all. After a lifetime spent looking around them, they know we re just animals that will destroy themselves at some point if we re not destroyed by some random cataclysmic event first.
What is left then? focusing on everydays simple pleasures, and telling the youthto fuck off. They know their kids will abandon them as soon as money and inheritance will become the only reason to talk to them. Thats what happening in most of atheist families. White man dont believe in anything anymore, no values, no faith, no morals, it s all about fucking or getting fucked until we all get fucked one day anyway once and for all.
Third worlders who still "believe" in various religions, in strong family ties will flood and replace us all, then will progressively abandon their faith too and become just like us, whiteys. Their time is coming as we re slowly disapearing, but they too, will face that state of ultimate mental decay the white man is the first to have reached thanks to "reasoning, logic and "science".
Most people are doping themselves with various drugs daily to have an edge over the competition for jobs, mates etc. Everything is allowed and money and domination are everything. Always have been but it s just now more apparent than ever, after we got rid of the fake sugarcoating of "religion". There is nothing left but our sheer natural cruel core bestiality for all to see.
We re just fucking animals killing each others randomly and indefinitely until we either destroy ourselves for the last resources or get destroyed by something coming from somewhere else. Life is war, at all levels, constantly. Some are designed to survive, others to disapear. The strongest last longer, but they too at some point are destroyed.

Adobe Photoshop is one of the most versatile and sophisticated image editors. There are several versions and flavours available:
- For the amateur often bundled with a digital camera or a scanner named 'photoshop LE' (older) or 'photoshop Elements' (recent).
- For the professional (or who ever wants to pay the higher price) more featured and simply named 'photoshop', 'photoshop CS' or 'photoshop CS2'
Photoshop CS and CS2 are currently the only versions that allows layered full 16 bit workflow (alternatives see below). For any other panorama work photoshop is recommended although not strictly necessary since f.e. Panorama Tools Plugins work with many different image editors as long as they are compatible to use photoshop plugins (like f.e. IrfanView).
Some (randomly chosen) features of current pro version (photoshop CS):
- Full color management.
- 16 bit layers
- large image support up to 300,000 x 300,000 pixels
- action recorder for simple automated tasks
- three different script languages for complex scripting: Javascript, VBScript (Windows only), Applescript (Mac only).
It is possible to launch a spherical viewer from inside Photoshop. To do this you need to create a shortcut to the viewer and place it in the Photoshop install directory.
[Photoshop folder]\Helpers\Jump To Graphics Editor eg: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Helpers\Jump To Graphics Editor\SPi-V engine.lnk or: Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Photoshop CS:Helpers:Jump To Graphics Editor:SPi-V engine alias
This will create a menu item in 'File -> Jump to'.
For more information see: SPi-V, and FSPViewer for stand along Viewers. For those on a Mac Pangeasoft has a more intergrated solution.
More information on http://www.adobe.com
Alternatives to photoshop
- The Gimp is a Open Source image editor, however it doesn't yet support 16 bit colordepth.
- Cinepaint is a version of the gimp that does support full 16 bit workflow and HDR images.
- Paint Shop Pro is a popular Windows shareware application that supports photoshop plugins such as the Panorama Tools Plugins

I'm a casual CD who does so primarily in private, but occasionally I go out with female clothes on underneath my normal clothes. This past Friday I noticed that my roommate's very attractive fiancée left some lingerie out in his room (they left the door open). They were heading out of town that day to go to a wedding. I noticed in the evening and decided to try her outfit on (I have a petite frame so it fit great). I went downstairs in the outfit and right when I got down there I heard a car door shut in front of my house. I went to the front window to look and right then I heard my door open. I ran to the bathroom to hide, but I didn't quite make it. My roommate's fiancée came around the corner just as I neared the bathroom and as I brushed past her she said "What are you doing!" I told her not to worry about it as I jumped in the bathroom. She went upstairs and I stayed in the bathroom for a bit. I came out and ran into my room to change and freak out. I don't know exactly how much she actually saw, but she may have noticed that her lingerie was missing from the room when she went in. My roommate came home a couple minutes later and they packed. I came out and tried to pretend like nothing happened, but when I saw his fiancée, she immediately looked me up and down but didn't say anything. They left and I put the outfit back and pretty much freaked out all weekend; losing sleep and just being extremely embarrassed.
They came home on Sunday and we didn't really talk before she left. The past 2 days they have been absent from the house, which is abnormal because they always are around the house together. I fear that she saw me and noticed that her outfit was missing and probably told my roommate. The other factor in this is that my roommate's fiancée also happens to be my long-time girlfriend's sister. So it is also possible that she could tell my girlfriend and things really could blow up, but I don't think she has yet.
I used to fantasize about getting caught, but the actual event has been nerve-wracking to say the least. I don't know where this will go or how it will turn out, but I'm pretty freaked out about it right now.

Michigan's McGary, Robinson III to return, wait on NBA
- Michigan freshmen Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III will return
- Both were considered high-level NBA prospects
- Michigan lost sophomore point guard Trey Burke and junior Tim Hardaway Jr.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Their minds were already made up late Wednesday night.
They are roommates and call each other brothers.
But for finality, Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III went to the place they felt most comfortable — the basketball court — for the final seal of approval.
The Michigan standouts announced Thursday that they would be returning to school for their sophomore seasons.
"The last couple nights we've been in the gym playing one-on-one just talking about it," McGary said Thursday at Crisler Center in a news conference announcing their return. "It's been helpful just having him being like a brother, having that second opinion and him having me doing the same thing."
McGary called it a second opinion but it was apparently just one opinion, though they are two different players.
They knew they held Michigan's basketball future in their collective hands, but the pull of being projected by draft analysts as top-15 picks made it a little tougher to make the final call.
Though they met separately with Michigan coaches Wednesday to go over the reports from the NBA undergraduate advisory board and the feedback, this was nearly a joint decision.
If Robinson had said he wanted to leave, McGary said he may not have stayed at Michigan.
"Probably not. I'd have to talk about it, but it'd just be weird," he said, adding he wants to be a kid for another year and was 50/50 on the decision until making up his mind. "Probably not. He's my brother pretty much. That's what we came here for. We wanted to play on the court together and try to win, so if he's coming back, I'm going to come back. If he's going, we'd have to talk about it, but the decision was we're kind of both in or both out."
It was a challenge for Robinson as well, trying to sift through various pieces of information.
His father, Glenn, went through a similar scenario when he left Purdue after his junior year, but he ended up as the No. 1 overall pick, so it was a bit of a different dynamic. They chatted a bit about it, but Robinson said his parents told him to make his own decision and they would support it, though they were happy with his return.
"You don't know what you're hearing is true and evaluating that whole process is a difficult thing, and I don't think people realize how stressful that can be on someone," said Robinson, who will investigate purchasing an insurance policy to protect against severe injury. "Especially when you've got all the tweets, all the people talking and everything like that. But I think we did a good job of staying away from all that and doing what we wanted to do and what the best decision for us was."
Their presence in the frontcourt takes the Wolverines — who have eight returning players — from a potential bubble team to probably a top 10 ranking next fall despite the departures of Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr.
There were a few uncertain days for the Michigan coaches as they waited and gave the freshman pair space to make their own call.
"I was ready to roll either way, knowing that I'd like this and this and this to happen, but if it doesn't, you just go," Michigan coach John Beilein said. "It's nice to know so we can plan and it really helps us we think as we know where they stand with the other NBA teams, what we can plan for in (2014) and (2015)."

Hello lyamecron!
Thank you!
I can't promise any compensation like leaving you some fleets, blueprints and etc. However, we are discussing another way of doing good things to pre-Alpha testers - and if there will be some, we will tell about it before steam early access ;)[/quote]
I have an idea to help pre-alpha testers if all the progress gets wiped. Start them off with all the other starter things that people who are new get but give the PAT (pre alpha testers xD) little boosts so that their fleets might be a higher lvl or in discovery mode they can get more ships or just an igc booster overall (I wouldn't mind that :) ). Also depending on the amount of the PAT and the amount of new players when the game releases you could give us PATs a free Premium Account.

It's only happening for one user where he keeps getting authentication pop up. After 4/5 attempts he can go to the document library page. Then when he clicks on a word file (where version and checkout is enabled) he gets endless pop up for credential.
No else having this trouble. I took following actions but problem still exists.
IE: Tools – Internet Options - Advanced tab – confirm Enable Integrated Windows Authentication is selected.
Not sure if i need to go through the steps in this link because about 2000 people are not seeing this but 1 employee. http://paulliebrand.com/2008/04/02/sharepoint-consistently-prompting-for-user-credentials/

Most race cars require special skills to keep from putting straight into a tree after a few seconds of driving, but the average production car can be piloted by an eight-year-old without much damage. We want to hear about the non-average production car that requires more than average abilities to drive.
This photo from Zerin Dube of Speed:Sport:Life was taken of the Viper I spun it out on the turn behind John Hennessey's shop in Sealy, Texas. I'd been warned the Viper had a bite, but a few days of driving encouraged me to think that the nanny-less Viper wasn't much of a challenge. Maybe for other people, but not for me.
I was wrong.
Automotive photography may look dramatic, but it usually involves driving the same turn repeatedly until the photographer gets the right panning shot. Even in a Viper it gets a little dull.
(My favorite example of image manipulation comes from a Sport Compact Car cover photo of a car shot as it rolled downhill because the engine didn't work. A few people eventually noticed the car appeared to be going backwards.)
I decided to go faster and faster around the long, carousel-type turn at the end of the Lonestar Motorsports Park's quarter-mile, both to get a better shot and because I wanted to make things more interesting. This was great right up to the point I went in with way too much speed even for the grippy Dodge and there was no electronic cure for my overconfidence.
The Viper snapped out of place and I was rolling right towards Zerin, our friend Tim, and Tim's new-ish Dodge Ram. I went two-feet in and the car stopped, as I'd hoped it would, a few feet short of the truck. There was no harm to anyone or anything but I felt like an asshole for doubting that, yes, an older Viper is a challenge.

The Ubuntu ISO file I downloaded wants to burn exclusively to a CD disc, but the files in the ISO file are too large to fit to any 700MB CD disc I currently have available.
It won't accept a DVD as the destination media.
Are there any files that I can delete from the ISO file?
Alternatively, will extracting the files from the ISO file and creating another bootable ISO file acceptable to a DVD disc be a workable solution, or is there something I'm missing in this endeavor?

Gallien Krueger MB200
The tiniest of the bunch is the Gallien-Krueger MB200. This sturdy little beast is housed in a silver metal box with meaty rubber feet. Picking up on the look of the rest of the GK line, the MB200 even sports micro metal handles on the front, a nice touch for carrying it around (even with one finger!) and providing protection for the five knobs and two toggle switches on its face. Each of the knobs has a bright white line on the front and top, making settings easy to check at a glance.
Also picking up on GK traditions, the MB200 incorporates the GK 4-band EQ section. And like their other models, the treble is on the left with the bass on the right. One toggle switch pads the input for especially hot basses and the other selects a preset contour EQ that scoops the mids, while boosting the treble and bass. The left side of the amp's case has a whisper-quiet variable speed fan. On the back, the DI's XLR jack has a Pre/Post switch, allowing you to send your signal to the board with or without EQ. There's 1/4" jack for headphones that doubles as a line out and has a switch that selects the line-level output or engages the headphone-level output. A handy 1/8" jack is also onboard to add an MP3 player for play-along practicing.
Tone-wise, I thought the MB200 was solid and punchy—plenty loud for practicing, rehearsals, and small gigs. The tone was both fat and clear, and the EQ section allowed for ample tonal variations. The Contour switch (similar to the mid cut on their RB series by emulating the sound achieved when turning the variable contour control all the way up) scooped out quite a bit of the midrange, working well for slap playing, but a little murky for all-around sound. In all, the MB200 is a helpful tool when you need good sound while traveling light—and at $249 on the street, it's very affordable. If you're looking for a micro with more features and more power, GK also has a pair of somewhat larger (though still meeting the criteria for our roundup) micros to suit your needs—the MB500 and the MB Fusion, which has three preamp tubes and two switchable channels.

I recently spoke with a client of mine, Norm P., about writing an ethical will. We talked about how his three kids had graduated from college without a sliver of debt, whereas he spent time in the Army and struggled financially as a young man. It was one of the first times anyone had asked him about the life events that had shaped his financial beliefs, and he was proud to share his story with me.
Our conversation inspired him to begin writing down his experiences, so that he could pass on the lessons he'd learned to his adult children and grandchildren.
What's an Ethical Will? Why Should Clients Do One?
Dating back to early biblical times, ethical wills are intended to pass along family values from one generation to the next. They're not legal documents; rather, they convey the stories and beliefs that have influenced clients' financial lives, serving as family heirlooms and teaching tools long after the writer has passed away.
As a complement to your estate planning process, ethical wills can help you build trust with clients and forge relationships with the next generation. But they're not for every client—or every advisor. If you're thinking about introducing ethical wills to your clients, it's important to understand what the process entails and whether it makes sense for your business.
Before moving ahead, ask yourself a few key questions.
- Are you personally invested in the process?
My friend Gary Williams of Williams Asset Management in Columbia, Maryland, certainly "walks the talk" when it comes to ethical wills. A successful wealth manager himself and author of The Art of Retirement, which includes a chapter on ethical wills, Gary has a powerful reason for discussing them with his clients. After losing both of his parents early in his life, he wishes they'd left behind such a document that he could share with his family.
I'm fortunate to have an ethical will composed by my mother before she passed away several years ago; that handwritten letter is one of the reasons I decided to incorporate ethical wills into my practice.
- Have you written one yourself?
If you're going to encourage some of your top clients to record up to 10 pages of beliefs, you should understand what you're asking of them. Once you start writing an ethical will, you'll quickly realize what a serious undertaking it is. Keep in mind that clients may want to read your ethical will before agreeing to do one themselves, so be ready and willing to share.
I've written my own ethical will. One of my financial goals is to raise my three children to be as fiscally responsible as my wife and I are. My parents instilled a sense of financial awareness in me at an early age, and I want to pass along these same beliefs to my kids. By creating an ethical will, I hope to help them continue this tradition with their own children.
- Does it fit your firm's personality?
Creating an ethical will is an emotional process. Are you comfortable discussing clients' personal stories, and would they feel comfortable sharing their memories with you? Do you interact frequently with clients, both in person and via your website and social media? Is philanthropy a key focus for your practice? For advisors like Gary who emphasize charitable planning, offering ethical wills may be a natural fit.
- Are your expectations realistic?
Ethical wills aren't for everyone, and it won't make sense to discuss them with every client. Gary suggests using the 80/20 rule in reverse, introducing the concept of ethical wills to 80% of your clients and assuming that only 20% of them will complete one. Also keep in mind that creating a process for implementing ethical wills (and following up with clients) can be time consuming for you and your staff.
How Do You Draw Up an Ethical Will?
Once you've answered the questions above and determined that ethical wills are a good fit for your practice, you'll need to establish a process for implementing them with clients. So take these steps:
- Gauge clients' interest.
In my office, we discuss ethical wills with clients during our annual or semiannual in-person reviews. It usually takes several conversations for clients to embrace the concept, so be prepared to revisit the topic multiple times. Many clients will agree that it's a great idea, but only a handful will be ready to move forward right away.
- Make it easy for them to get started.
We give clients general instructions for writing an ethical will, but we don't specify a word count or place boundaries on what they can write about. We also include a list of question prompts to get them writing. (Have the instructions and questions available during your review session and ready to e-mail to the client.)
Broad questions like "What does money mean to you?" can be overwhelming, so I usually start by asking about the three most influential stories that shaped their beliefs about money.
For example, ask:
Was your family financially fortunate when you were growing up?"
Did you pay your own way through college?
What was it like receiving your first paycheck?
If you are divorced, how did you make do financially?
Were you raised by a single parent?
If so, how did this impact you?
- Offer support. Clients may face some writer's block until they get the first few sentences down on paper. Remember, you're asking them to distill a big part of their life into a handful of pages, so be prepared to be patient and provide ongoing encouragement.
Writing an ethical will can also be highly emotional, conjuring up good and bad memories, and clients may shed a few tears along the way. If you're working with a couple, they may find it helpful to start writing independently and combine their thoughts later in the process.
- Work out the details.
Once the writing's done, ask clients how they want you to handle their ethical wills. For instance:
- How often do they plan to revise it? Some clients may want to revisit the document every several years.
- When do they plan to share it? Some clients will decide to read their ethical wills with their families; others will want to keep them private until they pass away.
- Where will they keep it?
We often house clients' ethical wills in an e-vault and have them leave a signed, handwritten copy in their desk or safe.
Just as writing an ethical will won't interest every client, it's not a service every advisor will want to offer. Those who do, however, will likely enjoy a closer, more positive relationship with their clients.

Hey Guys!
You've probably heard the saying, "Drive for show – putt for dough," which summarizes one of the truths about golf … games are won through putting.
Here are some drills that you can use to improve your putting.
First, work on the feel of your stroke by acting like a pendulum. You see the pros do it all the time. Hold your putter and lock your arms in putting position then swing back and forth like a pendulum. Smaller swings for short putts and longer swings for longer putts.
To improve the direction of your putts, putt to a chair leg from a variety of distances and directions. This drill can be done inside or outside on short carpeting or grass. Then, when you are playing a round of golf, you can visualize that chair leg in the middle of the hole when putting.
To improve your timing and tempo, hit a line of balls.
No one likes to chase around one ball when practicing so instead, line up about 10 balls and hit them one after the next toward the hole. This can be done at home or on the practice green.
After putting in a line, place balls all around the hole from various distances. Start very close (inside 12 inches) and work your way out.
Lastly, to work on distance, use a drill called "putt to the baby."
Imagine a baby sitting by the pin. Your goal is to putt the ball to the baby; but not too hard as to hurt her and not too soft where the ball doesn't reach her.
This drill will help develop the 'feel' of longer putts.
Heck, you can even use a toy baby doll to put by the pin while practicing (some adults may even borrow this tip) but by all means … do not use your baby brother or sister!
Till next time!
Danny Divot

Using Primary Sources in the Classroom
Civil Rights Movement Unit
Lesson 1: Riding the Bus - Taking a Stand
1. Background information for teachers:
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, was arrested for refusing to obey a Montgomery bus driver's order to give her seat up for a boarding white passenger as required by city ordinance. Such municipal and state laws designed to separate the races were common in the South at the time. These segregation codes were increasingly onerous to African Americans, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka struck down legal barriers to school integration in 1954. Outrage in Montgomery's black community over the arrest of Rosa Parks sparked a boycott against the city's bus line -- the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the beginning of the modern Civil Rights Movement.
Working closely with a long-active African-American leadership extant in Montgomery, Atlanta-born Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. emerged as the president of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) which organized the boycott. As the MIA's demands expanded beyond more flexibility in bus seating to include more equal access to other municipal services, racial tensions increased during the standoff. Preaching a course of non-violence, Dr. King was convinced that the cause could be won through a combination of dignified behavior and economic pressure on the part of the protesters.
The Boycott ended in December 1956, over a year after it began, when the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the desegregation of buses in Montgomery.
NOTE: For additional information regarding the Montgomery Bus Boycott, see Jo Ann Gibson Robinson, The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Women Who Started It: The Memoir of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson; edited, with a foreword by David J. Garrow. Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, c. 1987.

Drays Bay would like you to think that championships mean nothing.
Apparently, some people are saying this season possesses no positive aspect due to the World Series results. This is irrational and frankly embarrassing to the fan base. Few teams improve by 31 games and even fewer teams do it with the second lowest payroll in the league.
Being outstanding for 162 games is a far greater challenge than being outstanding for three five-to-seven game series. In any given set of ~20 games you're going to have random variance play a huge role in the outcomes, much larger than during the regular season because usually random variance doesn't even out in the post-season. Throw in awful umpiring; a typhoon, and a two-day half-inning and you have three variables that the Rays had zero control over.
The Phillies were better for five games than the Rays were, the Rays were better than most of the league for 162 games. Tell me the former eclipses the latter and I'm going to have to question your thinking. I'm going to write this up to some people trying to be radicals, but ending up as perfect squares.
We have yet to read a single item that says the Rays' season has "no positive aspect". Since Drays Bay failed to list any sources or tell us exactly who "some people" are, we can only assume they are referring to sentiments like our "Hangover" post from last night, in which we stated the following:
We don't want to hear about what a great season it was. We don't want to hear about how the Rays exceeded all expectations. None of that matters today. There are no excuses. There are no silver linings. Maybe in a couple of days we will be able to reflect on what happened in 2008, but not today.
Apparently we have to explain what "today" means. For the slower people, that means the day between yesterday and tomorrow. We never said that the regular season accomplishments were meaningless. Quite the opposite. But when the Rays are in the World Series, they mean squat.
We are well-aware that chance plays a role in small sample sizes. We have written papers on the subject. But if the Red Sox played the Nationals in a best-of-seven under the same conditions as the Phillies and Rays, the Red Sox would win that series 9 out of every 10 times. Why? Because they are a better team, weather be damned. However, if the gap between two teams is small, the significance of chance increases.
Either way, you can't all of the sudden say winning the World Series means less than the regular season. Otherwise you are going to be "questioning the thinking" of a lot of people.
We beg Drays Bay to find a single Phillies fan that thinks the World Series title means less than being "better than most of the league for 162 games."
We beg Drays Bay to find a single Red Sox fan that cares more about how many seasons the Red Sox were "better than most of the league for 162 games," than the two World Championships they won in recent years.
A Yankees fan can tell you that the Bombers have won 26 world titles. Do you think they give a hoot how many times the Yankees were "better than most of the league for 162 games?"
Do you think the Mariners and their fans would trade some of the 116 regular season wins in 2001 for 7 more wins in the postseason?
To think the regular season somehow means more than the World Series is pure idiocy.
We appreciate what the Rays did the season. Nothing will ever take away what they accomplished. But that is little consolation the day after losing the World Series. Tomorrow? Now that is a different story. And if that makes somebody a "square", then we guess the Phillies will be the biggest squares of them all next year when they raise the pennant and receive their rings.

Vision 2030 Documents Vision 2030 Documents
Vision 2030 Overview Vision 2030 Overview
Vision 2030 Overview
In 2004, Namibia adopted Vision 2030 , a document that clearly spells out the country's development programmes and strategies to achieve its national objectives. Vision 2030 focuses on eight themes to realise the country's long term vision.
These are:
- Inequality and Social Welfare;
- Human Resources Development and Institutional Capacity Building;
- Macro-economic issues;
- Population, Health and Development;
- Namibia's Natural Resources Sector;
- Knowledge, Information and Technology; and
- Factors of the External Environment.
In the Vision 2030 document, President Sam Nujoma stated that the national vision is a perception of the future. The goal of the Vision is to improve the quality of life of the people of Namibia to the level of their counterparts in the developed world, by 2030.
According to the President, Vision 2030 presents a clear view of where Namibia is, were it wants to go from here, and over what time frame. It is a vision that will take Namibia from the present into the future, a vision that will guide the nation to make deliberate efforts to improve the quality of life of the Namibian people. It is a unifying vision which would provide direction to government ministries, the private sector, NGOs, civil society and regional and local government authorities.
Since the future is about the people, Vision 2030 concerns itself with the population in relation to their social, economic and overall well-being. The Vision will transform Namibia into a healthy and food-secure nation, in which all preventable, infectious and parasitic diseases (including HIV/AIDS) are under secure control, people enjoy high standards of living, a good quality of life and have access to quality education, health and other vital services. All of these aspirations translate into a long life expectancy and sustainable population growth.
The Vision is also designed to promote the creation of a diversified, open market economy, with a resource-based industrial sector and commercial agriculture, placing great emphasis on skills development. The Vision will also promote competitiveness in the export sector, in terms of product quality and differentiation.
Capacity building will be pursued with the utmost vigour by both the private and public sectors to support the objectives of Vision 2030. The country will, furthermore, operate a totally integrated, unified, flexible and high quality education and training system that prepared Namibian learners to take advantage of a rapidly changing global environment, including developments in science and technology. The capacity building will transform Namibia into a knowledge-based society and changes in production and information technology will revolutionalise all aspects of the manufacturing process.
Vision 2030 is expected to reduce inequalities and move the nation significantly up the scale of human development, to be ranked high among the developed countries in the world.
By 2030, Namibia will be a just, moral, tolerant and safe society with legislative, economic and social structures in place to eliminate marginalisation and ensure peace and equity between women and men, the diverse ethnic groups and people of different ages, interests and abilities.
One of the major principles upon which Vision 2030 is based is " partnerships", which is recognised as a major prerequisite for the achievement of dynamic, efficient and sustainable development. This involves partnership between government, communities and civil society, partnership between different branches of government, with the private sector, non-governmental organisations, community-based organisations and the international community, partnership between urban and rural societies and, ultimately between all members of the Namibian society.
The driving force for realising the objectives of Vision 2030 are:
- Education, Science and Technology;
- Health and Development;
- Sustainable Agriculture;
- Peace and Social Justice; and
- Gender Equality.

- The Woody Allen Companion (1993) edited by Stephen J. Spignesi, Ch. 7.
- I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.
- The Illustrated Woody Allen Reader (1993)
- The joke about immortality also appears in On Being Funny (1975)
- In an interview in Rolling Stone magazine from April 9, 1987, Allen said "Someone once asked me if my dream was to live on in the hearts of people, and I said I would prefer to live on in my apartment."
- How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
- As quoted in Love, Sex, Death & The Meaning of Life : The Films of Woody Allen (2001) by Foster Hirsch, p. 50.
- We're worth a lot of dough. Whatever you see is antiques. This thing here. This is from — I don't remember exactly. I think it's the Renaissance or the Magna Carta or something. But that's where it's from.
- Small Time Crooks (2001).
- I'm not saying I didn't enjoy myself, but I didn't.
- The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001).
- As a filmmaker, I'm not interested in 9/11 [...] it's too small, history overwhelms it. The history of the world is like: He kills me, I kill him, only with different cosmetics and different castings. So in 2001, some fanatics killed some Americans, and now some Americans are killing some Iraqis. And in my childhood, some Nazis killed Jews. And now, some Jewish people and some Palestinians are killing each other. Political questions, if you go back thousands of years, are ephemeral, not important. History is the same thing over and over again.
- Interview in Der Spiegel, 2005-06-20 (as quoted by the New York Post) [1]
- I have no apprehension whatsoever. I've been through this so many times. And I found that one way or the other, your life doesn't change at all. Which is sad, in a way. Because the people love your film... nothing great happens. And people hate your film... nothing terrible happens. Many years ago, I would... I would... a film of mine would open, and it would get great reviews, and I would go down and look at the movie theater. There'd be a line around the block. And when a film is reviled, you open a film and people say "Oh, it's the stupidest thing, it's the worst movie." You think: oh, nobody's going to ever speak to you again. But, it doesn't happen. Nobody cares. You know, they read it and they say "Oh, they hated your film." You care, at the time. But they don't. Nobody else cares. They're not interested. They've got their own lives, and their own problems, and their own shadows on their lungs, and their x-rays. And, you know, they've got their own stuff they're dealing with.... So, I'm just never nervous about it.
- I made the statement years ago which is often quoted that 80 percent of life is showing up. People used to always say to me that they wanted to write a play, they wanted to write a movie, they wanted to write a novel, and the couple of people that did it were 80 percent of the way to having something happen. All the other people struck out without ever getting that pack. They couldn't do it, that's why they don't accomplish a thing, they don't do the thing, so once you do it, if you actually write your film script, or write your novel, you are more than half way towards something good happening. So that I was say [sic] my biggest life lesson that has worked. All others have failed me.
- To me there's no real difference between a fortune teller or a fortune cookie and any of the organized religions. They're all equally valid or invalid, really. And equally helpful.
- This is my perspective and has always been my perspective on life: I have a very grim, pessimistic view of it. I always have, since I was a little boy. It hasn't gotten worse with age or anything. I do feel that it's a grim, painful, nightmarish, meaningless experience, and that the only way that you can be happy is if you tell yourself some lies and deceive yourself.
- My relationship with death remains the same - I'm strongly against it,
All I can do is wait for it,
- You start to think, when you're younger, how important everything is and how things have to go right—your job, your career, your life, your choices, and all of that. Then, after a while, you start to realise that – I'm talking the big picture here – eventually you die, and eventually the sun burns out and the earth is gone, and eventually all the stars and all the planets in the entire universe go, disappear, and nothing is left at all. Nothing – Shakespeare and Beethoven and Michelangelo gone. And you think to yourself that there's a lot of noise and sound and fury – and where's it going? It's not going any place… Now, you can't actually live your life like that, because if you do you just sit there and – why do anything? Why get up in the morning and do anything? So I think it's the job of the artist to try and figure out why, given this terrible fact, you want to go on living.
- The film studios learned to our dismay but to their pleasure that if they spent $200 million making a film they could make half a billion on it. So they were not interested anymore in quality films… They can't afford to be that risky at those prices. Consequently you're getting a lot of remakes, sequels, dopey comedies full of toilet jokes…
- Death is like a colonoscopy, the problem is that life is like the prep day.
Getting Even (1971)[edit]
- I don't believe in an afterlife, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
- "Conversations with Helmholtz"
My Philosophy[edit]
- Can we actually "know" the universe? My God, it's hard enough finding your way around in Chinatown.
- It is impossible to experience one's own death objectively and still carry a tune.
- Eternal nothingness is O.K. if you're dressed for it.
- Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends.
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972)[edit]
- Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
- They called me mad... But it was I - yes I - who discovered the link between excessive masturbation and entry into politics!
- When it comes to sex there are certain things that should always be left unknown, and with my luck, they probably will be.
Sleeper (1973)[edit]
- My brain: it's my second favorite organ.
- Oh, he was probably a member of the National Rifle Association. It was a group that helped criminals get guns so they could shoot citizens. It was a public service.
- I'm not really the heroic type. I was beat up by Quakers.
- Sex and death. Two things that come but once in my lifetime, but at least after death you're not nauseous.
Love and Death (1975)[edit]
- To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But, then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness — I hope you're getting this down.
- Human beings are divided into mind and body. The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun.
- The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter. You know, if it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. I think that the worst you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.
- "Sex without love is an empty experience. But as empty experiences go, it's one of the best."
- If I don't kill him he'll make war all through Europe. But murder... the most foul of all crimes. What would Socrates say? All those Greeks were homosexuals. Boy, they must have had some wild parties. I bet they all took a house together in Crete for the summer. A: Socrates is a man. B: All men are mortal. C: All men are Socrates. That means all men are homosexuals. Heh... I'm not a homosexual. Once, some cossacks whistled at me. I happen to have the kind of body that excites both persuasions. You know, some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all, you know... they become lawyers.
- I was walking through the woods, thinking about Christ. If He was a carpenter, I wondered what He charged for bookshelves.
- In addition to our summer and winter estate, he owned a valuable piece of land. True, it was a small piece, but he carried it with him wherever he went.
- And so I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Actually, make that "I run through the valley of the shadow of death" - in order to get OUT of the valley of the shadow of death more quickly, you see.
- We have to take our possessions and flee. I'm very good at that. I was the men's freestyle fleeing champion two years in a row.
Without Feathers (1975)[edit]
- As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree"— probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
- "The Early Essays".
- Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
- "The Early Essays".
- The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife — a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
- "The Early Essays".
- What a wonderful thing, to be conscious! I wonder what the people in New Jersey do.
- "No Kaddish for Weinstein".
- Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.
- "Selections from the Allen Notebooks".
- What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.
- "Selections from the Allen Notebooks".
- If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.
- "Selections from the Allen Notebooks".
- It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
- The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.
- "Scrolls".
- What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream? Or what's worse, what if only that fat guy in the third row exists?
- from the play "God".
- Rabbi Raditz of Poland was a very short rabbi with a long beard, who was said to have inspired many pogroms with his sense of humor. One of his disciples asked, "Who did God like better, Moses or Abraham?"
"Abraham," the Zaddik said.
"But Moses led the Israelites to the Promised Land," said the disciple.
"All right, so Moses," the Zaddik answered.
- "Hassidic Tales, with A Guide to Their Interpretation by the Noted Scholar"
- "Hassidic Tales, with A Guide to Their Interpretation by the Noted Scholar"
Annie Hall (1977)[edit]
- I heard that Commentary and Dissent had merged and formed Dysentery.
- I can't get with any religion that advertises in Popular Mechanics.
- I had dated a woman briefly in the Eisenhower administration, and it was ironic to me, because I was trying to do to her what Eisenhower had been doing to the country for the last 8 years.
Side Effects (1980)[edit]
- It is impossible to travel faster than light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off.
- "The UFO Menace".
- Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought — particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things.
- "The UFO Menace".
- More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
- "My Speech to the Graduates"
My Apology[edit]
- Woody Allen as Socrates...
- Of all the famous men who ever lived, the one I would most like to have been was Socrates. Not just because he was a great thinker, because I have been known to have some reasonably profound insights myself, although mine invariably revolve around a Swedish airline stewardess and some handcuffs.
- Death is a state of non-being. That which is not, does not exist. Therefore death does not exist. Only truth exists. Truth and beauty. Each is interchangeable, but are aspects of themselves. Er, what specifically did they say they had in mind for me?
- Hey listen — I've proved a lot of things. That's how I pay my rent. Theories and little observations. A puckish remark now and then. Occasional maxims. It beats picking olives, but let's not get carried away.
- Agathon: But all that talk about death being the same as sleep.
Socrates: Yes, the difference is that when you're dead and somebody yells, "Everybody up, it's morning," it's very hard to find your slippers.
Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)[edit]
- Taste my tuna casserole — tell me if I put in too much hot fudge.
- What has gotten into you lately? Save a little craziness for menopause!
- I bought her this handkerchief... and I didn't even know her size.
- I can't listen to that much Wagner, ya know? I start to get the urge to conquer Poland.
Don't Drink the Water (1994)[edit]
- [about his daughter] I'd rather she grew up here than grew up as an orphan, you know I can tolerate anybody's orphans but my own.
- ...years of insanity have made this guy crazy!
Deconstructing Harry (1997)[edit]
- Harry: Between the Pope and air conditioning, I'd choose air conditioning.
- Harry: You think the President of the United States wants to fuck every woman he meets?... Well, bad example.
- Harry: The most beautiful words in the English language aren't "I love you" but "it's benign."
- Harry: Every hooker I ever speak to tells me that it beats the hell out of waitressing. Waitressing's gotta be the worst fucking job in the world.
- Cookie: What are you sad about?
Harry: I'm spiritually bankrupt. I'm empty.
Cookie: What do you mean?
Harry: I'm frightened. I got no soul, you know what I mean? Let me put it this way: when I was younger it was less scary waiting for Lefty than it is waiting for Godot.
Cookie: You lost me!
Harry: You know that the universe is coming apart? You know about that? You know what a black hole is?
Cookie: Yeah. That's how I make my living.
- Burt: Do you care even about the Holocaust or do you think it never happened?
Harry: Not only do I know that we lost six million, but the scary thing is that records are made to be broken.
- Harry: No, I don't think you're paranoid. I think you're the opposite of paranoid. I think you walk around with the insane delusion that people like you.
- Harry: Tradition is the illusion of permanence.
- Harry: (On being called a self-hating Jew) Hey, I may hate myself, but not because I'm Jewish.
- Doris: You have no values. With you it's all nihilism, cynicism, sarcasm, and orgasm.
Harry: Hey, in France I could run for office with that slogan, and win!
- The Devil: You want me to turn the air-conditioning on?
Harry: You have air-conditioning in Hell?
The Devil: Sure, it fucks up the ozone layer!
- Harry: All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.
Standup Comic (1999)[edit]
A CD compilation of Allen comedy routines from 1964-1968
- A lot of things have happened in my private life recently that I thought we could review tonight.
- I feel sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.
- A fast word about oral contraception. I was involved in an extremely good example of oral contraception two weeks ago. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said "no."
- Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.
- I was in analysis. I was suicidal. As a matter of fact, I would have killed myself, but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian and if you kill yourself they make you pay for the sessions you miss.
- I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
- I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.
- I'm not a drinker — my body will not tolerate spirits. I had two Martinis on New Year's Eve and I tried to hijack an elevator and fly it to Cuba.
- When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room.
Mere Anarchy (2007)[edit]
- How could I not have known that there are little things the size of "Planck length" in the universe, which are a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter? Imagine if you dropped one in a dark theater how hard it would be to find.
- And how does gravity work? And if it were to cease suddenly, would certain restaurants still require a jacket?
- With that, he scribbled in an additional ninety thousand dollars on the estimate, which had waxed to the girth of the Talmud while rivaling it in possible interpretations.
- I have also reviewed my own financial obligations, which have puffed up recently like a hammered thumb.
- She quarreled with the nanny and accused her of brushing Misha's teeth sideways rather than up and down.
- As we know, for centuries Rome regarded the Open Hot Turkey Sandwich as the height of licentiousness.
- I was supremely confident my flair for atmosphere and characterization would sparkle alongside the numbing mulch ground out by studio hacks. Certainly the space atop my mantel might be better festooned by a gold statuette than by the plastic dipping bird that now bobbed there ad infinitum.
- Bidnick gorges himself on Viagra, but the dosage makes him hallucinate and causes him to imagine he is Pliny the Elder.
- To a man standing on the shore, time passes quicker than to a man on a boat — especially if the man on the boat is with his wife.
- I have learned one thing. As Woody says, "Showing up is 80 percent of life." Sometimes it's easier to hide home in bed. I've done both. - 1977 August 21, New York Times, Section 2: Arts and Leisure, He's Woody Allen's Not-So-Silent Partner by Susan Braudy, Page 11 (ProQuest Page 83), New York.
- Woody Allen later wrote in a letter: "My observation was that once a person actually completed a play or a novel, he was well on his way to getting it produced or published, as opposed to a vast majority of people who tell me their ambition is to write, but who strike out on the very first level and indeed never write the play or book. In the midst of the conversation, as I'm now trying to recall, I did say that 80 percent of success is showing up." - 1989 August 13, New York Times, On Language: The Elysian Fields by William Safire.
- "I WANTED nothing more than to be a foreign filmmaker, but of course I was from Brooklyn, which was not a foreign country. Through a happy accident I wound up being a foreign filmmaker because I couldn't raise money any other way."
- As quoted in the New York Times, That's Amore: Italy as Muse: Woody Allen on Italian Movies and 'To Rome With Love', June 15, 2012.
- "You know, the whole American culture is going down the drain, you can't turn on a television set and see anything, or walk in the street and not find garbage, or neighborhoods that were formerly beautiful now have McDonald's in them, and it's all a part of an enormous degeneration of culture in the United States. People that exist in that culture are forced to make moral decisions all the time about their lives, their occupations, their love-lives, and they make decisions that are commensurate with what's happening to them in this culture, and it's too bad that that's happening because that's what Manhattan is about, that New York used to be such a great city, so wonderful, and it has to fight every day for its survival against the encroachment of all this terrible ugliness that is gradually overcoming all the big cities in America.
This ugliness comes from a culture that has no spiritual center, a culture that has money and education, but no sense of being at peace with the world, no sense of purpose in life. They don't know what they're doing, or why they're here. They have no religious center, they have no philosophical center, and so they act, they do what's expedient at the moment. They have no long view of society. They only have the view of quick money, and kill the pain of the moment, and so instead of dealing with the real problems that exist, that are complicated, they sweep them under the rug by turning on the television set, or taking cocaine, or doing many things that enable them to escape confrontation with the unpleasant realities of the world."

Quotes about Allen[edit]
- At the time that I worked with Woody Allen, I knew nothing of the allegations. At the time, I said it's a very painful and complicated situation for the family, which I hope they have the ability to resolve....If these allegations need to be re-examined which, in my understanding, they've been through court, then I'm a big believer in the justice system and setting legal precedents,....If the case needs to be reopened, I am absolutely, wholeheartedly in support of that.
- Cate Blanchett, Interview with Christiane Amanpour, CNN 21 Mar 2018. Quoted in "Cate Blanchett on Woody Allen: 'I don't think I've stayed silent at all'", The Guardian, 22 March 2018.
- In this land of unlimited opportunity, a place where, to paraphrase Woody Allen, any man or woman can realize greatness as a patient or as a doctor, we have only one commercial American filmmaker who consistently speaks with his own voice. That is Woody Allen, gag writer, musician, humorist, philosopher, playwright, stand-up comic, film star, film writer and film director.
- Vincent Canby in his review for Zelig in Woody Allen Continues to Refine His Cinematic Art, 17 July 1983, The New York Times.
- With the possible exception of What's Up, Tiger Lily (1966), the schlocky Japanese spy movie to which he attached his own, sidesplitting English soundtrack, no Woody Allen movie has ever been more or less serious than another of his works. He's always been serious. It's the audiences who have been frivolous.
In Zelig he reassures us that he can still be funny and moving without making the sort of insistent filmic references in which he delights but which can be infuriating to others. Zelig is a nearly perfect — and perfectly original — Woody Allen comedy.
- Vincent Canby in his review for Zelig in Woody Allen Continues to Refine His Cinematic Art, 17 July 1983, The New York Times.
- This is Woody Allen's 41st film. He writes his films himself, and directs them with wit and grace. I consider him a treasure of the cinema.
- Roger Ebert, [3] of Midnight in Paris, May 24, 2011.
- Woody Allen is currently having non-incest with a non-daughter for whom he is a non-father because they have no concept of families...it's a weird environment out there.
- Newt Gingrich, Speech in Georgia, August 1992. Quoted in JoAnn Wypijewski, "Woody and Mia: A Modern Family Timeline", The Nation Magazine, February 26, 2014.
- I don't even think Woody does comedy. I think he does dramas with jokes. They're all sad at their core.
- Chris Rock in a Vulture.com interview (30 November 2014).
- If Woody Allen were a Muslim, he'd be dead by now.
- Salman Rushdie. The Independent, (London, 18 February 1989), quoted from The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations
- In Woody Allen, the Republicans quickly discovered the genuine article, a sexual heretic...Of course it is absurd to suggest that Americans do not approve of love. They do, with the same highly trained enthusiasm with which they approve of a sense of humour. Their desire to preserve this infantile attitude is what makes them so frightened of feeling sympathy for Woody Allen. They do not wish to acknowledge that true love might also be socially disruptive, so they insist that the socially disruptive is not true love. That is why it is so crucial that Woody Allen be thought not only immoral, but insincere.
- The Spectator Magazine, "Editorial: Sacred and profane love in the Republican allegory", 5 September 1992.

Barf: Disney Mech
Disney have no problem cashing in. We're up to 107 Dalmatians now, right? They'll even design their own mech for the Micky-loving otaku, because that's a demographic. This metallic bastard is being released as part of Bandai's Chogokin line, which is usually very high quality, both in design and build. This is just embarrassing though.
Check out our post on this from a few months ago for mote pics.
