St George's House,
Miss Evelyn Mainwaring Knocker.
2nd Lady Superintendent, 1926 - 1949
Miss Evelyn Mainwaring Knocker. Born 19.10.1890, Putney, London.
Miss Knocker was a
lady of extremely strong religious principles. In 1926, after working at
the Southern Provincial Police Orphanage at Redhill, Surrey,
her plans to be a Missionary in Africa were altered overnight by her friendship with Miss Catherine Gurney and the resignation of Miss
Emma Chapman. After much praying,
she accepted the position of Lady Superintendent of the Northern Police
Orphanage in Harrogate, Yorkshire, and devoted the rest of her life to
the care and spiritual education of around 300 St.George's children.
She was well built, almost 6 feet tall, wore size 12 shoes and to small children appeared to be a forbidding figure. Being a strict disciplinarian her religious beliefs were foremost. She demanded adherence to her set rules of conduct and a summons to her study could be a formidable experience for a vulnerable gentle-minded child. However, she was not a bully and mainly left the physical punishments to the House Masters and Matrons, preferring to mete out 100 lines, the learning by heart, of long passages from the Bible, the names of all the books in the Old and New Testaments and long classical poems.
Her main aim in life was to care for the spiritual, physical and educational welfare of her charges, in that order. This ambition was achieved through her management and organisational skills, which were remarkable, considering the fact that there were normally about 70 children of both sexes, from nursery age to 17, in her care at any one time. She was fair-minded, but tended to treat the boys more leniently than the girls, who were always being advised about the "sins of the flesh". The responsibility must have been enormous.
By the late 1940s, after undergoing surgery for breast cancer, she had mellowed and became a more approachable and tactile mother figure. She instilled into each child her St. George's code of ethics and moral values, which have been passed on, through the generations, to the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of her St. George's Boys and Girls. For that alone, she deserves our respect, admiration and gratitude.
Miss Knocker retired from St. George's in 1949. She and Miss Marjorie Adams *, who had been her Secretary at St. George's for a number of years, then shared a house at 52 St. George's Road, Harrogate, employing Betty Rider, a St. George's Old Girl, as their housekeeper. Miss Knocker died there (of a Cerebral Haemorrhage) on 27th May,1952, aged 62.
*Miss Adams spent her later years in a Nursing Home (for genteel ladies) in Putney, London. She died in February 1989. Her death was registered in Merton, Surrey. Having been born 30 September, 1890, Miss Adams died a few months before her 100th birthday.
Research contributed by Elsie Gale, formerly Pickering, nee Bradley.
Miss Knocker was cremated at
Harrogate Crematorium on the 29th May, 1952 and her remains scattered in
Tribute paid to Miss E.M. Knocker by Major Le G. G. W. Horton-Fawkes, on her retirement.
For twenty three years it has been the privilege and the pride of Miss Knocker to write the Annual Report of St George's. So much has to remain untold; so many intimate details of the happy family life have to be left to the imagination of thousands of Police of all ranks; so many generous thoughts and acts by the Police Forces can only be summed up in a paragraph; so little is said of the Lady Superintendent and her trusted staff. Yet each report stands in the annals of St George's as the account of her faithful stewardship. This is to be her last.
How often it is said in Committee, " Leave it to the Chairman and Miss Knocker" On those occasions the Chairman knew how wisely he would be guided. The privilege of writing this was left to the Chairman.
I feel that you must be the Chairman or the child at St George's before you can really know Miss Knocker and give her life's work its true value, realising that she is always 'on her beat'. I shall always keep impressions that will be shared by many others of an admirable hostess, of a stickler for the highest standards, of one gifted with an acute but ever kindly appreciation of each one of us, from Constable to Chief, from child to Chairman - as the cornerstone of our Committees, as unswerving in her belief in sound discipline as she was uncompromising in all Christian principles, of one who practised what she preached.
Miss Knocker was born to command; but, like all the best commanders, she has been a first rate subordinate. This combination made it so satisfactory and such fun to work with her as Chairman. I remember one or other of us saying " We simply must get the Committee to agree to this or that": then in a flash came the unspoken reminder that we were both the servants of the Police Forces and of their Committees.
How many have been made to
feel at home at once by her ready welcome and her genius for knowing who
we were, why we were there and often what our trouble was. How many have
been warmed and inspired by those prompt words and letter of thanks.
Miss Knocker has always given what she demanded of us all - the best of our personal services. She has looked for no other reward than that her own " Story of St George's" may stand as her tribute to the human kindness and unstinted generosity of the Northern Police Forces.
We can feel assured in all
reverence that " a still small voice" says on our behalf " Well done,
thou good and faithful servant".

Posted on 07/06/2006 7:02:15 PM PDT by CoopEdited on 08/07/2006 9:10:42 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
13."For the first time in 30 years, citizens in the 12th actually have a credible intelligent opponent for whom to vote"
14.Murtha must go
Thank you! Your help is greatly appreciated.
I am encouraged by this good-looking lady's campaign. She seems to have the background and enough name rec to get started. Let's make it a race with a big national fundraising drive.
Good work, telebob!
I also notice you don't post here much, but back a few months ago you did manage to post a few swipes at Lynn Swann's campaign. Curious.
Since you live out Pittsburgh way, perhaps you should sign up for the Irey/Murtha ping list, hmmm?
Good morning bump!
I smell kitten chow.
Bump and Elect Diana Irey
The people around here are Dems and don't even know why. I tell them this is not your Fathers Democrat Party. Some listen,some are thick as bricks. They always come back with "The Dems are for the little guy."crap. The party of the vertically challenged!
"She needs to debate him. She needs to get him unscripted and flustered"
She has already informally asked, she will most certainly formally ask him to debate in the coming months.
He's a COWARD!
He's a COWARD!
He knows she'll clean his clock.
Well, I really would like to see Murtha debate a Veteran also. Let them talk about how a Real Vet should act.
We already had a hint of that when Murtha was dressed down by the returned Iraqi war vet. He's lucky he didn't wet his pants. :-)
"Let them talk about how a Real Vet should act."
Make sure it is not this guy .....
Semper lie:Fake veteran must wear sandwich board
Don't they wish. While Murtha's skeletons fill up a barn.

Eau De Passion For Men by Franck Olivier
Thread: SoTD: MONDAY October 17, 2011
Morning all!
Today Im in Jacomo Art Collection #08.
#08 surprises with its asian-influenced opening of crisp ginger and black tea, through which a startling and enduring spicy cardamom accord emerges. It instantly speaks of the cuisine of northern India, and resolutely plays a preeminent role for the first 10 - 15 minutes. A milky accord in the heart of the perfume, coupled with warm notes of sweet cinnamon both furnish the perfume with a delicious 'iced chai latte' vibe. But there is abundant colour present too... luminous freesia, golden honey, and dewy fruit pulp all lend a vibrant lip-smacking quality to the scent.
To my nose, #08 is the olfactory equal to the religious Indian Holi Festival held each spring; a celebration in which brilliantly coloured powders and coloured water is hurled between worshippers. It is spirited, colourful, fun, and something in which both men and women can partake.

The Albert Einstein iQuote Matrix provides you with unique insights into the thoughts, habits, behaviors and actions of one of the world's greatest thinkers. As you work your way through the Albert Einstein iQuote Matrix you will come across thought-provoking words, quotes and questions that will shift how you think and how you approach the events, problems and circumstances of your life.
Here are five unforgettable quotations pulled directly from this iQuote Matrix:
The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
One cannot alter a condition with the same mindset that created it in the first place.
These are only a handful of many inspiring quotations contained within this iQuote Matrix. Yet, an iQuote Matrix isn't all about quotations. It's also about empowering you with the effective use of questions and power words that will help shift your perspective.
When you purchase the Albert Einstein iQuote Matrix you will receive:
- A PDF copy of the IQ Matrix, which you can use for printing in high resolution.
- A JPG image file of the IQ Matrix, which is ideal for viewing on tablets and mobile devices.
- A printable PDF summary of this IQ Matrix.
Some of the iQuote Matrix maps you will find at the IQ Matrix Store are freely available to IQ Matrix Email Subscribers. When you subscribe to the IQ Matrix email list you will receive access to these iQuote Matrix maps and other resources over a period of 18 months. If you can't wait that long, then you can always purchase them at any time from the IQ Matrix Store.
The Purpose of an iQuote Matrix
This iQuote Matrix is designed with three purposes in mind:
- Firstly, the Quotations are designed to help you gain a different perspective and understanding about the topic.
- Secondly, the Power Words and Phrases extending from the central image are designed to encourage you to shift your attitude and approach about the topic.
- Thirdly, Key Questions are designed to help you to think more clearly, critically, analytically and flexibly about your life circumstances in relation to the topic of the iQuote Matrix.
An iQuote Matrix is specifically designed as a reference tool that you can use on your computer, tablet, phone or print out as a poster.
The more time you spend daily reviewing an iQuote Matrix, then the more your perspective will begin to shift, and the more likely you are to overcome any challenges or obstacles that are currently preventing you from moving forward within each specific area of your life.
IQ Matrix or an iQuote Matrix?
An iQuote Matrix is designed as a complementary tool to be used side-by-side with an IQ Matrix about that same topic.
An IQ Matrix is designed for the purpose of providing you with the knowledge, information and guidance you need to thoroughly understand the topic under question.
An iQuote Matrix is designed to shift your perspective about the topic through the use of insightful quotations, power words and questions. It's primary purpose is to motivate and inspire you to take the necessary actions that will help you attain your desired results as they relate to the topic under question.
It is therefore recommended that you use both the iQuote Matrix and IQ Matrix in tandem as reference tools to help keep you on top of various aspects of your life and personal development.

Please welcome Sky Purington to VampireRomanceBooks.com. She is our guest blogger today and is here to promote the fourth book of The MacLomain Series titled Faith of the Highlander.
Thanks so much for featuring Faith of the Highlander. As the fourth novel in the ongoing MacLomain Series: Next Generation, this particular tale was a unique one to write. Why? Well, it was the first time I tackled not only a hero but heroine who had long suffered mental abuse. Grant at the hands of his master and chieftain, Keir Hamilton and modern day, Sheila, via her ex-boyfriend.
While Sheila has been a constant secondary character through the series, we first meet Grant in book two, Vow of the Highlander but only briefly. Then he again comes on scene near the end of the third book, Wrath of the Highlander. That's when we learn there's more to him than meets the eye.
So as I dug into Faith of the Highlander, I already had a good idea of what to expect from my characters. Though both had suffered abuse, they were not weakened but strengthened by their pasts. Grant, more powerful in magic than most and trained to be a warrior from a young age, would have an alpha personality with an unexpected compassionate side. Sheila, though more submissive due to a repressed past, would gain confidence as she once more recognized her self-worth.
Even though I thought I'd figured out the character development between Grant and Sheila, they still managed to surprise me. While Grant certainly had bitterness towards many, he was far more capable of forgiveness than I ever could have hoped. I think it was through that forgiveness that he was better able to stay focused on all he strove to accomplish. And his goals were many. He needed to save Torra and through her his clan, free those enslaved by Keir and try to reforge the bonds lost with his MacLomain kin. As it turned out, his goals were shared by Sheila. Together as they worked toward a similar outcome, they were thrust into a position in which they helped one another heal.
I have to admit that despite seventeen previous publications, Grant and Sheila are amongst my favorite couples. Theirs was an emotional journey that I won't soon forget. As such, both earned a strong secondary role in the final book in The Next Generation, Plight of the Highlander.
The MacLomain Series
Next Generation: Book 4
Sky Purington
Genre: Time Travel Fantasy Romance
Date of Publication: September 12, 2014

Book Description:
Like her cousins, Sheila wears a Claddagh ring meant to connect her Broun lineage with the MacLomain clan. Already having witnessed the strife ravaging the medieval Scottish highlands she's eager to once more be thrust back in time…even if it's into the arms of the enemy.
Imprisoned fourteen winters and now first-in-command of the enemy's army, Grant MacLomain must find a way to save all those he cares for. Though under the watchful eye of his master and chieftain, Keir Hamilton, he unleashes his plan the moment he connects with a lass from the future.
Through hardship, forgiveness and even acceptance, Grant and Sheila struggle to push past their abused hearts and the war that divides them in, Faith of the Highlander.
Available Now- Mark of the Highlander (Book 1), Vow of the Highlander (Book 2) and Wrath of the Highlander (Book 3). Coming Soon- Plight of the Highlander (Book 5).
Also available: The MacLomain Series- Early Years (Books 1-3 available in a boxed set) and the original MacLomain Series (Books 1-4 available in a boxed set).
Sheila started to tremble when he broke free from the last of whatever or whoever had imprisoned him. A shiver raced through her and she knew.
Grant had just broken free from Keir Hamilton's mental hold over him.
He tore off his tunic and whipped it aside. With nothing but the Hamilton's plaid hung low on his waist, he was an impressive sight. Legs braced, arms by his side, fists clenched, he closed his eyes. Cast in the soft, flickering glow of a single sputtering torch, sweat slicked muscles rippled down his long warrior's body. Was he praying? Long moments passed. Every one of them a lifetime as her heart thundered. Then, as if replacing one swift divine moment with another, his eyes snapped open and met hers.
It felt like a freight train hit her.
"Och, my wee geal," he whispered.
Wee what?
Sheila made to speak but the words died on her lips when in two swift strides, he pulled her into his arms. The word 'wee' seemed a massive understatement when up against him. Though she was fairly tall at five foot seven, he had to be a foot taller. Lord, she felt tiny! What had been but a tremble became a harsh fiery heat that whiplashed through her body. Emotional state and sensory awareness in overdrive, she put her hands against his hard chest.
"Oh, I shouldn't have done that," she murmured. But she didn't pull her hands away.
No, if anything, she pressed tighter and curled her fingers slightly. It was one thing to meet a man in your mind, another thing entirely to feel him pressed up against your body. When he tilted up her chin, her eyes slid shut. Why, she'd never know. She supposed somewhere deep inside she wasn't ready to look too closely into his eyes.
But why?
Perhaps she was afraid of what she'd see there. Perhaps though he seemed so strong she'd see years of mental abuse flicker in his gaze. Mental abuse inflicted by Keir being twisted within his mind for so long. The very idea of it made her sick to her stomach.
But none of that mattered when she felt his warm breath whisper over her lips. Close, so very close. She could all but feel his mouth hovering over hers. Time slowed as her lips fell open. Sensation heightened. A slow burn covered her cheeks. An ever so slight throbbing began first on the sides of her neck as emotion welled. Her heart pounded so strongly that her lips pulsed, ready for the pressure, the weight of his mouth against hers.

Apotex Inc. v. Eli Lily and Company, 2015 ONCA 305
Drug: atomoxetine
Apotex has brought a case against Lilly pursuant to s. 8 of the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations (the NOC Regulations). As part of the case, Apotex seeks damages pursuant to s. 8, under the Statute of Monopolies (U.K.), the Ontario Statute of Monopolies, and the Trade-Marks Act, as well as a disgorgement of Lilly's profits due to alleged unjust enrichment. This case considered an appeal of Lilly's motion to dismiss the unjust enrichment claim.
Apotex argued that the unjust enrichment claim was different than that previously considered by the Federal Court of Appeal, as this claim alleged that due to the finding of invalidity with respect to Lilly's patent, and allegations of misrepresentation, the NOC Regulations could not be relied upon as a valid juristic reason for Lilly to be immune from an unjust enrichment claim.
The Ontario Court of Appeal considered the previous jurisprudence relating to the NOC Regulations constituting a complete code, and a juristic reason for precluding an unjust enrichment claim in the context of Apotex' arguments. However, the Court decided the issue based on the lack of "corresponding deprivation" to Apotex. The Court held that Apotex was never deprived of the portion of Lilly's revenues represented by its profits, as Apotex would never have earned those profits. The purpose of the doctrine is to reverse unjust transfers of wealth, which did not occur in this case. Furthermore, the Court held that Apotex had not properly plead the elements required for disgorgement of "profits of wrongdoing", and even if it had, this is not a case where such an extraordinary remedy is available. Apotex was asking the Court to designate it as the de facto beneficiary of Lilly's profits, but it is not the sole party with a legitimate right to deter the underlying wrong.
The Court held that s. 8 of the NOC Regulations can make a generic company whole. Furthermore, a fundamental principle of tort law is that the wronged person is compensated for the full amount of loss, but no more. Thus, Apotex' appeal was dismissed.

A Happier Pregnancy for Depressed Women
Psychiatric medications taken during pregnancy are less risky than previously feared| From Explorations | By Vicky Waltz

When Diane Knight was seventeen, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a manic-depressive illness characterized by extreme mood swings. Her doctor prescribed Celexa, an antidepressant, and perphenazine, a mood stabilizer, to help reduce her manic episodes, and she has taken the drugs ever since. Knight is now thirty-four, married, and ten weeks pregnant with her first child.
Women like Knight ⎯ who is among the 8 to 20 percent of pregnant women affected by clinical depression ⎯ have always faced a difficult choice. They can take antidepressants and risk the slight possibility of having a baby with a birth defect, or they can forgo treatment and risk a relapse.
"I really didn't know what I should do," says Knight (not her real name). "I like to do things naturally, and I really wanted to have a pregnancy that was not influenced by medication. But my husband, my doctors, and I decided that because I have a history of hospitalization, it would be safer for me to take my medication throughout my pregnancy."
Research conducted by scientists at the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University may help pregnant women with depression sleep a little easier. In an article published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine, Allen Mitchell, a School of Public Health professor of epidemiology and a School of Medicine professor of pediatrics, found that taking antidepressants during pregnancy does not greatly increase the overall chance of birth defects, although taking specific antidepressants could slightly increase the possibility of certain abnormalities.
The results should be reassuring for most pregnant women who take antidepressants, says Mitchell, director of the Slone Epidemiology Center and the principal investigator on a long-term study of birth defects and drug use in pregnancy. "Mothers who took antidepressants while pregnant were at no higher risk for most defects than women who did not take antidepressants," he says.
BU researchers looked at popular antidepressants in a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which includes Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, and Celexa, that were used during the first trimester of pregnancy. In their study of nearly 10,000 infants born with birth defects and nearly 6,000 healthy infants, they concluded that women who took sertraline (Zoloft) during pregnancy were twice as likely to have babies born with certain heart defects, and women taking paroxetine (Paxil) had more than three times the risk for one of those defects. While the results sound alarming, the rate of the defects is so low that a doubled risk represents a very small number, proportionally speaking, Mitchell says.
"The specific heart defects that were linked to sertraline and paroxetine, for example, occur in about 5 out of 10,000 babies, so a doubling of that risk means they occur in 10 out of 10,000 babies, and a tripling means they would occur in 15 out of 10,000," he says. "So even a tripling of the risk still amounts to a very small chance that a baby will be born with one of the defects linked to these drugs."
Of course, Mitchell continues, mothers-to-be must be made aware that antidepressants can pose a slight threat to the fetus. But they should also take into account that depression, particularly severe depression, can also cause damage. "There is evidence that links anxiety and depression to premature births and other adverse pregnancy outcomes," he says. "Depressed people are more likely to have sleep disorders, poor diets, and poor exercise habits, all of which can be harmful to a fetus."
The SSRI study, pioneered by Mitchell in 1975, is part of the Slone Epidemiology Center's research into birth defects, an ongoing project with a database currently containing information on more than 32,700 mother-child pairs. Since 1975, the center has played a leading role in assessing the risks of birth defects in relation to medications taken during pregnancy, testing existing hypotheses, and identifying previously unsuspected associations.

As originally seen in The Jerusalem Post on June, 29, 2016
Investors get spoiled when markets continually go up, but a 10-15% drop is relatively common and actually healthy for the stock markets long-term prospects.
It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty. – James Monroe
Contrary to what the polling data was predicting, the vote last week was in favor of the Brexit. What exactly that technically means, and how long the breakup of the UK from the EU will take and in what form is anyone's guess. I am not going to go into whether it was a good move or not. Well maybe just a bit! I think it was a very smart move, and re-instills my faith that there is still some sanity out there. I am not going to delve into why I think it was a good vote, other than by saying that the aforementioned quote from Monroe hits the nail on the head. Sovereignty is paramount.
End of the world
I would like to focus on the outcome of the Brexit and investors portfolios. Immediately after the results were announced, markets started to plummet. TV, print and social media were abuzz about how we could be headed into a big recession and that this result will make the financial crisis of '08 look like child's play. Talking heads were urging investors to dump stocks to salvage what they still have. After the market continued to drop on Monday, those calls were amplified.
Investors get spoiled when markets continually go up, but a 10-15% drop is relatively common and actually healthy for the stock markets long-term prospects. If you aren't prepared to lose money over the short-term in the stock market, you shouldn't be owning stocks in the first place. Highly regarded investor Peter Lynch said, "You get recessions, you have stock market declines. If you don't understand that's going to happen, then you're not ready, you won't do well in the markets."
I have written this before but it's important to mention again. Investors need to keep in mind that market drops like this are not rare. Ben Casselman, the chief economics writer for FiveThirtyEight, said, "What we do know is that market crashes, however you define them, happen. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has had one-day declines of 3 percent or more nearly 100 times. It's had two dozen days where it fell by 5 percent or more. Slow-motion crashes, where big declines are spread out over several trading days, are even more common."
What to do?
I understand it's not fun to watch the value of your portfolio drop by 5-10% in a few days. But investors should not panic, and should stay calm. As George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
In this case that means remembering that over time the market will rebound and head higher. Casselman continues, "Every one of those declines has been followed by a rebound.
Sometimes it comes right away. Sometimes it takes weeks or months. But when it comes, it comes quickly. If you wait until the rebound is clearly visible, you've already missed the biggest gains."
What is the secret to building wealth? Buy quality assets, whether stocks or real estate, and just hold on to them. If you can buy them at a 20-25% discount, more power to you.
What we learn time and again when the markets drop, is that if you don't have the stomach for the volatility or you are worried that your portfolio will drop so much that you can't fund retirement or that apartment purchase, then you have no business having such exposure to stocks. You should invest what you can afford to lose, because in the short-term, no one knows how the market will behave.

Kimberly-Clark's push to meld music and commerce backfires without mobile
April 30, 2014
Kimberly-Clark misses out on mobile
Kimberly-Clarks new music-focused coupon initiative misses out on a massive opportunity to connect smartphone-wielding moms with mobile content and highlights the challenges that big consumer-packaged-goods brands have in getting mobile right.
The CPG giants new program is called Celebrate Family Unity or FUN and includes a microsite geared towards including more music into families' day-to-day lives. Kimberly-Clark claims that the site and program is designed for mobile, but many of the core features including coupon redemptions and ringtone downloads are only available on desktops, marking a big hole in the brands strategy.
[The] program was created for the mobile screen first since we know Hispanic consumers are three times more likely to have Internet via a mobile device only and not [through a] desktop, said Lizette Williams, head of the multicultural strategy team and program lead at Kimberly-Clark, Irving, TX. This was a critical part of the program design.
Music to my ears
Kimberly-Clarks campaign lives at the http://thefunsong.com microsite, and California-based participants in the program will receive coupons for Kimberly-Clark products, including Kleenex, Scott and Pull-Ups.
These consumers will also be entered into a sweepstakes to meet singer Christina Milian for a recording session. Consumers can be alerted if they are the winner by typing in their mobile phone number into the microsite.
The campaign lets consumers create a short theme song that can be shared through social media or downloaded.
The song is created based on a list of questions such as, If you want to find my family having fun together, look here first.
Consumers also need to type in the city where they live, pick an adjective and select a music genre that best describes their family to make the song.
A preview of a song
Users can then preview and edit a small clip of a song. A full version of the song can also be unlocked by creating a Kimberly-Clark account. Once an account is created, the full version of the song and coupon is sent via email.
The email links consumers to a Web page that displays seven different coupons. However, the coupon content is not optimized for mobile and consumers cannot access the coupons from a smartphone.
The coupons from a mobile device
Via the Web site, consumers can print the coupons to use in-store. The coupons are redeemed via a bar code that is scanned at the point-of-sale.
Not having a mobile component to the redemption process on the microsite is a big miss for Kimberly-Clark since the program is geared towards moms and families, who are some of the most dependent on their smartphones and tablets.
The CPG giant is however weaving its involvement with the third-party mobile shopping application Ibotta into the campaign. Via the app, consumers can receive rebates for purchasing specific Kimberly-Clark brands that are involved in the FUN.
The CPG brands campaign is also targeted towards both English and Spanish consumers. Hispanic consumers in particular are a big draw for mobile marketers given that the demographic over-indexes on accessing mobile content (see story).
Kimberly-Clark is getting consumers to sign up for the program in retail partners such as Walgreens, Safeway, Walmart and Target.
Users can email coupons to themselves
Missed social opportunity
The coupons also have some interesting integrations with social media, but again lack a mobile component.
Kimberly-Clarks coupons go up in value based on how many social shares on Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter a clip racks up. The more shares that a song receives, the higher the amount of the coupon.
While the sharing component is accessible via a smartphone or tablet, the offers themselves cannot be redeemed from a mobile device.
With the significant amount of social activity that takes place on mobile devices, making the coupons accessible via mobile is even more important.
There is also an option to download the mini-song as a ringtone for iPhone and Android devices once consumers create the clip. The clip can be redeemed via an Android device, but cannot be completed from an iPhone device due to restrictions from Apple.
Instead, iPhone users can download the offer from a desktop and save it to iTunes to then transfer it to another device.
Mobile components for these campaigns have now become table stakes for most brands, especially for CPG brands that have a giant reach.
At the same time that Kimberly-Clark is launching a wide-reaching digital campaign, other CPG giants are taking a much different and hyper-targeted approach to mobile.
For example, Mondelēzis switching up both its approach to agencies and multi-brand campaigns by using mobile for niche, smaller campaigns (see story).
Unilever is also launching a program that partners start-ups with several brands to test small-scale efforts, such as in-store beacons (see story).
In many of these cases, mobile is essentially being used as a way to test smaller-scale initiatives that fit into bigger strategies aimed at increasing digital spend.
Kimberly-Clark appears to be trying to apply this school of thought to hone in on the Hispanic demographic, but clearly missed the mark on making the campaign accessible via mobile.
Hispanic consumers over-index across all social networking sites and in usage of mobile Internet, which drove the program design, Ms. Williams said.

Publisher: Orbit
Source: My collection
Description: This first ever collection of Iain Bank's short fiction includes a novella never before published in Britian-- The State of the Art. A Striking addition to the growing body of Culture lore, it adds definition and scale to the previous works by using Earth of 1977 as contrast. The other stories in this collection, all previously published in magazines and anthologies, range from science fiction to horror, dark-coated fantasy to morality tale. All bear the indefinable stamp of Iain Banks staggering talent. (from the back cover)
Review: Of the eight stories in this collection, I'd only call two of them bad. I'm not sure what the point of either "Piece" or "Scratch" was. The former, seemed to be trying to say something, but I'm not sure what. Spoiler: Well, other than Iain Banks probably should have avoided airplane related terrorism as a source of inspiration. The latter is written in a rather strange style and I'm not entirely sure it had a narrative.
As for the rest of the stories, I can't say I was overly impressed with most of them, however both "Road of Skulls" and "A Gift from the Culture" left me wanting to know the rest of the story that was obviously there, so I guess I'd call them more incomplete feeling than mediocre.
"Cleaning Up" and "Odd Attachment" both felt complete, and I didn't regret reading either of them, but they didn't feel like anything I'd bother to read a second time. (Warning: Banks has a tendency towards gruesome violence at times, which shows up, in spades, in "Odd Attachment.")
That leaves us with the title novella and "Descendant." "The State of the Art" gives an interesting look at the Culture and what the Contact division does most of the time, but its a story probably best appreciated if you're already familiar with the Culture.
My favorite story by far was "Descendant." While technically a Culture story, it actually should be able to stand by itself just fine. It tells the age old story of a man and his intelligent spacesuit, trying to survive after their ship was destroyed in a battle.
This is a mixed bag of short stories, but I felt most of it was worth reading, at least once, if you like Banks' work.

Congressman Kevin Yoder today voted in favor of extending a payroll tax cut that ensures taxes are not raised on 160 million Americans. In addition to the tax cut extension, the bill includes legislation providing certainty to seniors receiving Medicare -- ensuring doctors are reimbursed for providing needed services -- as well as reforms the unemployment insurance benefits program. A rare occurrence today, members from the House and Senate reached a bipartisan agreement on legislation well before the end-of-February deadline. The payroll tax cut extension passed the House earlier this morning by a bipartisan vote of 293-132, passing the Senate shortly after.
"I don't believe raising taxes on any Americans will help create jobs. With the record levels of spending in Washington today, raising taxes will not solve any of our financial problems. Now, I look forward to moving on to the tough discussions of our nation's finances, including working to pass a federal budget that reduces government spending and actually puts us on a pathway towards black ink," said Yoder.
The payroll tax cut extension allows a typical American worker earning a yearly salary of $50,000 to keep an additional $1000 in their pocket. Further, the bill protects seniors needing medical treatment by ensuring reimbursements for doctors are not cut by twenty-seven percent. This allows seniors to continue to have the access they need to physicians serving Medicare beneficiaries. Lastly, the bill cuts twenty weeks of available unemployment benefits by eliminating the "Extended Benefits" program. By the end of 2012, most states will phase down to offering a maximum of sixty-three weeks of benefits. The unemployment benefit reforms will also give states increased flexibility in both requiring applicants to prove they are searching for work and drug testing unemployment benefit recipients.
Yoder also applauded the bill's inventive offset language stating that future broadband internet spectrum auctions will help pay for the extension of the unemployment benefits and Medicare doctor reimbursements. The bill also allows for the construction of a public safety broadband network, giving first-responders additional resources to protect our communities. Both the spectrum auction and the public safety network are expected to increase employment opportunities in the telecommunications field in the 3rd District and across Kansas.

The MENA Region's Leading Oncology Conference to be organized by Fleming Gulf
The MENA Oncology Conference, organized by Fleming Gulf, is all set to take place on the 22nd and 23rd of October, 2010, in Cairo, Egypt. This conference, organized as a result of the rising incidence of breast cancer in the region, seeks to bring this disease to the forefront of public awareness and discussion.
Breast cancer, despite all medical and technological advances, has been on the rise in the last 50 years or so and is expected to be diagnosed in 25 million women over the next 25 years, with incidence rates climbing in developing countries. In many parts of the world outside of the U.S. and Western Europe, awareness of the disease remains low, ultimately resulting in higher mortality rates.
Studies by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, reveal that, a woman dies from breast cancer every 75 seconds worldwide making it the most common cause of death among women. "80 per cent of women who develop breast cancer in the Middle East are found to be at an advanced stage where treatment is much more difficult and the chance of cure is very low," says Dr Nagi F. Khouri, MD, Associate Professor of Radiology and Oncology.
These shocking facts make it absolutely imperative that large-scale initiatives be taken to spread awareness about this disease especially in regions like the Middle East, where talking openly about breast cancer is still rare and cultural taboo keeps many women from seeking life-saving treatment.
MENA Oncology Conference will be such a forum, which will provide new information and consolidated knowledge, and include discussions on issues regarding early detection of Breast Cancer, Controversies in Breast Cancer: Adjuvant and Neoadjuvant Therapy, Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Imaging and Screening of Breast Cancer, New Approaches in Targeted Therapy for Breast Cancer, Breast Reconstruction, Cancer Stem Cells and Breast Cancer Metastasis, Management of Metastatic Disease and more.
This conference will be a great opportunity for governmental and non-governmental cancer control officials; for breast oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, general physicians and nurses and also for patients, advocates, volunteers and others interested in cancer control, from all over the world, to get together and exchange views on how to deal with Breast cancer
Bringing together some of the most renowned professionals in the industry, including Dr. Hussein Khaled (Arab Medical Association against Cancer), Dr Omalkhair Abulkhair (King Abdul Aziz Medical city), Dr. Mohamed Shaalan (Breast Cancer Foundation of Egypt), Dr. Sidi Mohamed Taher Alaoui (Lalla Salama Association, Morocco) and Dr. Salwa Boulos (Galla Hospital) this conference will prove to be of immense value to all the delegates and solution providers present.

It seems that Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are playing the young couple to the tee; all the way up to the man putting his foot in his mouth and trying to explain himself. It seems our hero is not that much different than us in that respect.
Point in case, at a recent kids' Q&A promotion of [The Amazing Spider-Man 2](movie:508593), Andrew was asked, "How did Spider-Man get his costume?"
Garfield replies, "He made it. He made it with his bare hands. He sewed it. … It's kind of a feminine thing to do, but he really made a very masculine costume."
Well, of course, in the age we live in, you just don't say something like that and get away with it. His costar and girlfriend, Emma Stone quickly responded.
"It's feminine how?"
Was Stone's response...
This brought cheers from the crowd and a knowing 'whoo' from costar Jamie Foxx who knew what was coming next and wanted nothing to do with it. This is the conversation that proceeded.
"It's amazing how you took that as an insult," said Garfield.
"I'm not taking it as an insult, I'm asking how it's feminine." replied Stone.
Andrew countered and attempted to cover his tracks with this statement,"I would say that femininity is about more delicacy and precision and detail work and craftsmanship — like my mother, she's an amazing craftsman. She in fact made my first Spider-Man costume when I was three. So I use it as a compliment. To compliment the feminine not just in women but in men as well. We all have feminine in us, young men."
Andrew saw nothing sexist in his comment actually and was trying to explain himself. Did he do it adequately?
Jamie Foxx being the comedian at heart by responding to Garfield's claim that all men have the feminine in us by saying, "Not me. I'm extremely macho. I've never done anything feminine."
Of course, he put a comical exclamation point on it by sarcastically wiping his forehead as if 'whew, that was close'.

Charles Krauthammer Quotes About PartiesQuotes about: Parties
The 2014 election has given the GOP the rare opportunity to retroactively redeem its brand. The conventional perception, incessantly repeated by Democrats and the media, is that Washington dysfunction is the work of the Party of No. Expose the real agent of do-nothing. Show that, when Harry Reid can no longer consign House-passed legislation to oblivion, Congress can actually work.
Look, I don't mind if the President sends a budget which he knows is not going to achieve anything. But when he prefaces his remarks as we just saw by saying we have to put politics aside, posing again as the one person in the country who rises above partisanship and party, speaks for the national interest, it's really grating.
What made Obama unique was that he was the ultimate charismatic politician -- the most unknown stranger ever to achieve the presidency in the United States. No one knew who he was, he came out of nowhere, he had this incredible persona that floated him above the fray, destroyed Hillary, took over the Democratic Party and became president. This is truly unprecedented: A young unknown with no history, no paper trail, no well-known associates, self-created.
There are cycles in American politics. US cycles are even more pronounced because we Americans have a totally entrepreneurial presidential system. We don't have parliamentary opposition parties with a shadow prime minister and shadow cabinets. Every four years, the opposition reinvents itself.

I have spoken at over 40 events over the past 5 years: ranging from audiences of business professionals, universities, class lectures, non-profits, and corporations. Those audience members have been a variety of students, executives, entrepreneurs, retailers, teens, realtors, attorneys, investors, marketers, private detectives and investigators, employees, journalists, advocates, and business professionals. I am often a keynote speaker and general session speaker, but I do offer breakout sessions or workshops as well. I would love to speak at your event, please contact me!

"Lane guest lectured about social media to my class at McGill University. He is an engaging and highly knowledgeable speaker. Lane's passion for social media and digital marketing shines through when he addresses a group. My students rated him highly. If you get the chance to work with Lane, do it. He knows social media inside and out, and is highly focused on giving an audience clear takeaways for action."
-Jackson Wightman, McGill University
"I met Lane when he was a 12 year-old presenting on social media platforms at Apple and was immediately impressed by his preparation, knowledge and speaking presence. In the years since, Lane and I have spoken on a number of panels together and he has lectured in the classes I teach at Emerson College in Boston.
What I find remarkable about Mr. Sutton is his ability to easily connect with audiences; within minutes of introducing him into my senior level college classes, my students relate to him as a peer, considering all he has to share on the subjects of social media, marketing and social networks. "
-David Gerzof, Professor, Emerson College & President, BigFish Communications
"When Lane Sutton came to speak at my digital journalism class, I purposely left out the part that he was a teenager. He waited in the hall as I described Lane's work history in social media, then I called him in. Students gasped. That's part of Lane's lure: He's brilliant and still a kid. But Lane is no novelty act. He just happens to be way ahead of most adults when it comes to understanding and implementing social media. His talk was informative and professional. He came with handouts, a stellar Power Point presentation that offered an explanation of the future in digital media use for journalists based on computational analysis and his own visionary insight. The talk then ventured into specifics with practical guidelines for journalists and a resources list he tailored for students. The students enjoyed hearing from him and I have invited him back."
-Cindy Rodriguez, Journalist-in-Residence and Professor, Emerson College
"Lane Sutton was selected as the keynote speaker for the Technology Alliance of Central New York's 2014 Celebration of Technology banquet. At first, board members all thought, "What could a 17-year-old kid have to say about technology?" We all learned that he has plenty to say.
Lane gave an interesting, informative talk on privacy in a world of social media oversharing -- the world he has grown up in and knows well. He had more than a few people in the audience rethinking their social media strategies, myself included.
But Lane wasn't just warning about the lack of privacy. He also offered some ways that people can protect themselves, including being strategic about what you share. It was a great talk, and I wouldn't hesitate to have Lane as a speaker again on a different topic."
-Maria Welych, Board Member at the Technology Alliance of Central New York
"We recently hired Lane Sutton to speak at our NEMOA Fall directXchange event in Providence, RI. I was very impressed with Lane from the beginning of our dialogue together. Lane was a last minute speaker addition who replaced a cancelation. Lane was able to grasp the concept of the NEMOA organization and write a session description within 24 hours! We don't always get that kind of excitement and response from other speakers.
Lane prepared a very detailed and well thought out presentation that covered all marketing touch points, online and offline, that are important in driving revenue for multichannel retailers. He had a great opening video and 55 slides for an hour presentation. He definitely gave our audience a lot of material to absorb and think about. Given that Lane is only 16 years old, we were all very impressed with his knowledge and ability to articulate in a well educated manner. Lane clearly understands the online marketing landscape and had a great point of view from the new Millennial Generation.
I was personally very impressed with Lane, his knowledge, his enthusiasm, and his professionalism. Overall, I would definitely recommend Lane as a speaker for Internet related topics. He is very impressive and only 16 years old!! I can't wait to see where Lane is in 10 years!"
-Cindy Marshall, President at the New England Mail Order Association
"When I produced the Social E Conference on e-media and social media marketing, I knew I needed an expert. With a crowd of senior real estate and banking executives, the room hushed when we introduced our opening keynote speaker: a 14-year-old who was just getting ready to enter high school. But Lane was already a seasoned pro -- speaking before numerous other organizations and notching a few TV interviews, too. He came in with great visuals, a compelling and well-researched presentation, and a message that was to the point: social media is the future. I've put on a lot of seminars and events, and had a lot of speakers. Few have had the impact that Lane had, or the stage presence. He's a wunderkind to watch."
-Vince Valvo, Editor-in-Chief at The Warren Group
"I had the pleasure of meeting Lane at Podcamp Boston in 2011 and subsequently invited him to speak as a guest lecturer at my digital marketing class at Bentley University as well as my social media class at Suffolk University. Lane is an articulate, poised and confident speaker. He possesses self-deprecating humor that disarms his audiences and focuses them on his knowledge rather than his age. I thoroughly enjoy working with him and look forward to collaborating with him again in the future."
-Mari Anne Snow, Professor at Bentley University and Suffolk University
"I first saw Lane present on the subject of Reputation Management at Podcamp Boston 6. He was just 14 years old at the time, and the young man blew me away with his passion, knowledge, and practical insights. His professionalism and comfort in front of an audience were also downright shocking for someone of any age. Lane's list of speaking credits and credentials is nothing short of extraordinary. Lane is incredibly intelligent, focused, and humble, especially considering his sizable accomplishments for his years. What's more, he's a truly kind person who's determined to share his gifts with this world. I believe in this amazing human being, and can't wait to see where his talents and passions lead him next. It's my most sincere honor to recommend Lane for any consulting, coaching, or speaking opportunity. He knows his stuff. He will deliver, delight, and amaze. Guaranteed."
-Lani Voivod, Epiphanies Inc.
"I was in awe with Lane when I met him at a Boston Investment Conference. Not only his knowledge on social media blew me away, but his confidence, eloquent delivery of the materials as a teenager in front of a big crowd is equally shocking to me in the most amazing way.
-Rachel Zhang, Investor
"Lane is bright, hard-working and a great speaker. We spoke together at an event and his session was packed. I recommend Lane for any speaking engagement - he's young but he commands a stage! Plus he knows social media strategy. I hope to speak at a conference with him again soon!"
-Amanda Nelson, Director of Marketing at RingLead

300,000 faced garda vetting for work
ALMOST 300,000 people were vetted by the gardai last year for jobs involving children and vulnerable adults, writes Shane Hickey.
Garda figures show the number of people who have had their records checked has risen by 100,000 in four years.
Last year, there were 291,938 requests for vetting to the garda central vetting unit (GCVU), up from 187,864 requests in 2007.
The unit looks into the backgrounds of people who are applying to work with children and vulnerable adults, as well as for fostering and the Adoption Board.
The Department of Justice said it expected even more people to be vetted in the future as further organisations were added to the remit of the GCVU.
Some 18,000 organisations are now included under the checks.

16 August 1960 — Captain Joseph Kittinger, USAF stepped from the gondola of his high altitude helium balloon and began a record-breaking plunge to the ground, over 120, 000 ft below. With a drogue chute deployed to stabilize his freefall (a lesson-learned form the first jump) he reached a maximum velocity of 614 mph before opening his chute at 18,000 ft.
Don't know about you, but it makes my palms sweat….
By the way, Capt. Kittinger went on to serve not one, but three combat tours in Vietnam, with a total of 483 missions – the first two years flying the COIN version of the A-26 Invader, and on the third, flying the F-4D Phantom II as CO of the 555th Fighter Squadron. During the third tour he was credited with shooting down a MiG-21, and just before his tour was up, was shot down and taken prisoner on 11 May 1972.

Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief…. Grief and rage—you need to contain that, to put a frame around it, where it can play itself out without you or your kin having to die…. It is a theater of sacrifice… Anne Carson
Why do critics make such an outcry against tragicomedies? is not life one? Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827
Rated G is nobody gets the girl. PG is the good guy gets the girl. R is the bad guy gets the girl. XXX is everybody gets the girl. Author Unknown
It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the 'good old days' when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy. Sherry Turkle
Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee. James Cameron
I like to go out if there's a party or go to the movies, but I just like hanging out with my buddies and having a good time. Jean-Luc Bilodeau
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. Orson Welles
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood. Walt Disney
A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. Stanley Kubrick
Life is more than sunglasses and hit movies. Reality – that's the main event. Sylvester Stallone
I've had broken bones and cuts and dashes and tears from movies, but when I was five, my mom put the biscuits up high so we wouldn't be helping ourselves. So, one day I asked to stand up on a chair to get a biscuit, and it fell, and the corner of the chair went right into the side of my eye, and it made a big hole in there. Gerard Butler
Television is chewing gum for the eyes. Frank Lloyd Wright
It would have been more logical if silent pictures had grown out of the talkies instead of the other way around. Mary Pickford
A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good. T.S. Eliot, New York Post, 22 September 1963
Movie-making is the process of turning money into light. All they have at the end of the day is images flickering on a wall. John Boorman, Money into Light, 1985
There's no thief like a bad movie. Sam Ewing
If I find a film dull, I find it infinitely more entertaining to watch the scratches. Norman McLaren
The theatre is a bad thing to live on! It gets into one's bones like an illness. One can wash the make-up off one's face, but one gets a theatrical varnish on one's soul, which makes one think of life as a painted cardboard arrangement that is all right as long as it makes a good show, and of God as a kind of huge property man, who is apt to make mistakes with the accessories. Anita Vivanti Chartres (1866–1942), The Hunt for Happiness, 1896
Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater. Roman Polanski
Acting: An art which consists of keeping the audience from coughing. Ralph Richardson
>>> Humor quotes
Drama is life with the dull bits cut out. Alfred Hitchcock
Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes. John LeCarre
I've always loved movies about con men. I think con men are as American as apple pie. Bill Paxton
My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave. Burt Reynolds
Obviously, I've been on sets before but nothing as big as 'Twilight.' You forget sometimes that you're on set of one of the biggest movies ever- so when you just sit back and think about it its just so incredible. It's such a great learning experience. Booboo Stewart
Making movies, you're like an independent contractor – you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad. Zooey Deschanel
There are lots of great movies coming out of the U.S. but it's not something I've ever really been interested in. They're great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental. Billie Piper
[It] is a good story before the actors take it. It becomes a better story as the actors pass it along. Horace Traubel (1858–1919), "Play things xxxviii," about Minnie Maddern Fiske's Leah Kleshna, in The Conservator, March 1905
Why should people go out and pay money to see bad films when they can stay home and see bad television for nothing? Samuel Goldwyn
Compared to a novel, a film is like an economy pizza where there are no olives, no ham, no anchovies, no mushrooms, and all you've got is the dough. Louis de Bernières
Horror films don't create fear. They release it. Wes Craven
The chief difference between horror fans and science fiction fans lies in why they won't walk backwards. A horror fan won't walk backwards because he knows he'll be knifed by a madman. A science fiction fan won't walk backwards because he knows he'll step on the cat. Aaron Allston
Nothing to me is unexpected. No disappointment is unexpected – whether it's movies or people or relationships. I'm always ready for the punch directly between the eyes. So I get hurt, but I never get hurt. Happens all the time. Brian Grazer
When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream. Elvis Presley
I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine. Audrey Hepburn
I always try to describe making movies like summer camp, or some holiday where you spend all day, every day with a new group of people whom you kind of love and then never see again. Eddie Redmayne
The best part of making the movies… learning from the pros themselves. Michelle Rodriguez
The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder. Alfred Hitchcock
A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it. Alfred Hitchcock
A sequel is an admission that you've been reduced to imitating yourself. Don Marquis
>>> Morning quotes
Never judge a book by its movie. J.W. Eagan
I've spent several years in Hollywood, and I still think the movie heroes are in the audience. Wilson Mizner
I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself. Orlando Bloom
Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies. Emir Kusturica
I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don't want to see female-driven movies couldn't be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies. Michelle Monaghan
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible. Alfred Hitchcock
If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies. Kathryn Bigelow
I like the play that does not end. The play whose last act is a beginning. Horace Traubel (1858–1919), "Play things xxxviii," review of Minnie Maddern Fiske's Leah Kleshna, in The Conservator, March 1905
What puzzles most of us are the things which have been left in the movies rather than the things which have been taken out. Agnes Repplier
What I've learned is that life is too short and movies are too long. Denis Leary
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood – Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy. Goldie Hawn
Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on. River Phoenix
Sometimes over things that I did, movies that didn't turn out very well – you go, 'Why did you do that?' But in the end, I can't regret them because I met amazing people. There was always something that was worth it. Robin Williams
I never enjoyed working in a film. Marlene Dietrich
Why is the public so interested in movies about the wealthy? My answer is that Shakespeare wrote about kings. That's where the action is. And it's the classic, cathartic thing. You get to indulge in a lifestyle you're not part of, a tragic error leads to a downfall, and you get to say, 'Thank God I'm not him.' Nicholas Jarecki
>>> Money quotes
When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman. Gene Kelly
That's probably when I get the most angry at American movies, when they just so cynically manipulate the audience without even trying to give a good story. Gene Siskel
Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes. Robert Altman
Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures. Jessamyn West
Most horror movies are certainly that. Brendan Francis
You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older. Lillian Gish
I never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me. I would have loved to be part of that golden age of Hollywood in the 1940s. It made me want to become an actor. Ryan Gosling
I live making comics. Comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. I do that. I live off comics, and then I write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money. Alejandro Jodorowsky
I have a real problem with watching movies where I see this perfect woman who is married to the man in question, who has a perfect life, who has perfect hair, perfect clothes, and doesn't give you any of the kind of reality that you're used to. Caroline Goodall
I had a certain career as an actor that I think was quite personal as well, and had a lot of integrity, but I wasn't writing my own things or directing my own movies. Jodie Foster
I don't watch many comic-book movies. But I loved 'Sin City.' Marjane Satrapi
Making movies is really hard. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. Madonna Ciccone
With horror movies, a bigger budget is actually your enemy. You want to feel the rough edges, the handmade quality to good horror films. It's a genre that benefits from not having everything at your disposal. Drew Goddard
A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor. Sofia Coppola
I stopped making movies because I don't like taking my clothes off. Maybe it's realism, but in my opinion, it's utter filth. Debbie Reynolds
>>> Knowledge quotes
Steven Spielberg is unique. I feel that the kinds of movies he loves are the same kinds of movies that the big mass audience loves. He's very fortunate because he can do the things he naturally likes the best, and he's been very successful. Francis Ford Coppola
Well, it gives me the opportunity to make the movies that I want to do, because L'Oreal pays me very well. Also it means that I can work with great directors. My last commercial was directed by Erick Zonca, who made 'Dream Life of Angels.' And finally, it doesn't take up a lot of my time. Virginie LeDoyen
I moved to New York City when I was 20 years old, started making movies non-stop. I didn't have any friends, so I would just sit at home all night editing on my iMac. Casey Neistat
I went to the opening of 'Sister Act,' and I had such a great time. I had no idea what it was about, and I had never seen the movies. But I heard the show went through some major last-minute craziness in previews, and man, opening night was really fun and really entertaining. Aaron Lazar
Maybe there are people who are gamers who haven't seen movies I have made, or the movies I have made have made no impression on them at all. Kevin Spacey
The notion of artistic responsibility begs questions with no satisfactory conclusions, the most inevitable and ineffectual being that we should just keep thinking and talking about it, given that the alternative – a governmental body monitoring the movies we make and see – is unacceptable. Steve Erickson
I have my problems with 'Singles'. To me, 'Singles' is the least successful of the movies I've been lucky enough to make. Cameron Crowe
I think it's more interesting to see people who don't feel appropriately. I relate to that, because sometimes I don't feel anything at all for things I'm supposed to, and other times I feel too much. It's not always like it is in the movies. Ryan Gosling
I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies. Kristen Wiig
In the movies, you want a good story and characters that are honest, but you are also looking for a good director who can lead the ship. That's how we look at business. Everybody has a great idea for a start-up, and so do their relatives, and they tell me, 'You gotta build it.' I say, 'I have to believe in it.' Ashton Kutcher
When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.' Quentin Tarantino
Everything I learned I learned from the movies. Audrey Hepburn
A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order. Jean-Luc Godard
I always loved movies, but I never thought I would presume to be a screenwriter and definitely not a director. Cameron Crowe
My favorite movies are the ones that are different the second time, or where you're constantly discovering new things. It's not just genre movies, either, and it's not just about twists. I saw 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' four times in the theater before I realized it's a love story. I love that. Drew Goddard
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies. Meryl Streep
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing – stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses – makes more money for me than making movies. Jackie Chan
I get inspiration from literally everything and anything. I take inspiration from people, relationships, stories, and I take inspiration from movies I see, books I read and songs I hear. Sabrina Carpenter
