Quotes About Moving On – Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there are Quotes To Live Byto inspire, I don’t think you can go wrong.
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare composed poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'”
I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home who answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog that growls every morning, a parrot that swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late every night.
You really won’t understand your life as a woman until you understand this: You are passionately loved by the God of the universe. You are passionately hated by his enemy.
“Love me when I least deserve it, because that’s when I really need it.”
From 40 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 15 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 40 feet away.
Quotes about moving – “This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”
“Having a role model in life is a great thing to have; one who provides us with direction and inspiration.

Quotes – The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.
“I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a new level. I am interested in the unknown, and the only path to the unknown is through breaking barriers, an often painful process.”

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2013
With summer fast approaching, video producers and advertisers are currently putting together warm weather themed projects. RoyaltyFreeKings.com, a music licensing website, has put together a variety of collections aimed at companies in need of upbeat, fun and beach themed music.
‘Summer Fun’, ‘Laidback Acoustic’ ‘Sports’, ‘Surf’ and ‘Road Trip’ are just a handful of a range of royalty-free albums put together with such projects in mind. These summer themed albums consist of upbeat pop rock, surf rock, reggae, funk, acoustic and uplifting orchestral tracks. All these fun and energetic tracks are available individually at RoyaltyFreeKings.com as well.
This year brought about a recent new milestone for RoyaltyFreeKings.com: 1,000,000 plays through their demo player (powered by SoundCloud.com). In their first year of operation, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has become known throughout the world as a source of quality music. Traffic to the website and sales of the library’s downloadable background music have steadily increased each month as producers from every corner of the world have learned of the music licensing website, and the strict quality control that runs through the entire catalog.
In addition to this significant milestone, RoyaltyFreeKings.com recently clocked up over 50,000 downloads of their free tracks, which are available to anyone with a budget under US$ 250,000.
Wedding video producers have been the of focus of RoyaltyFreeKings.com’s attention of late. With over 2 million weddings each year in just the USA alone, the 40 billion dollar wedding industry has grown to include thousands of independent videographers and editors whose primary work is producing wedding videos and photo montages. Music licensing website RoyaltyFreeKings.com has amassed a collection of music aimed squarely at these wedding video producers, with dozens of heartfelt instrumental tracks designed for montages, and live renditions of wedding classics, such as: the Wedding March and Pachebel’s Canon for traditional use within wedding ceremonies.
With wedding season just around the corner, RoyaltyFreeKings.com offers several hand picked albums of royalty-free wedding music, including: Weddings & Romance volumes 1 and 2, three diverse “Drama – Light” albums and two “Laidback Acoustic” guitar albums. As with all the music found on the site, every track has been handpicked for quality and maximum emotional impact.
In addition to the music for wedding videos offered at RoyaltyFreeKings.com, over 1000 tracks covering a wide range of genres are available for immediate download.
In recent months, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has been busy with major under-the-hood updates in preparation for a steady stream of new royalty-free albums and tracks. The considerable addition to the catalog includes a eclectic selection of new albums, including western film music, solo piano and epic orchestral trailer music, all aimed primarily at independent producers.
Several new releases include: ‘Wild Wild West’; a royalty-free western music album featuring sweeping orchestral film music and brooding western acoustic soundscapes, ‘Moody Piano’; solo royalty-free piano tracks aimed at independent dramatic films and perfect as music for a documentary; and ‘Epic Worlds 3’; modern royalty-free epic music designed for use in trailers and promos.
Alongside the new tracks and albums, a wide selection of free-to-use production tracks is also available to anyone working with a low to medium budget (US$ 250,000 or less per project). The music is immediately downloadable and ready to use. This complimentary background music section has proved to be very popular with students, educators and charities around the world. The range of styles and genres in the music given away by RoyaltyFreeKings.com include: epic dramatic orchestral, ambient piano, jazz, comedy, rock and suspense tension.
The mission of RoyaltyFreeKings.com since launching in 2012 has been to make searching for background music for video production incredibly easy and streamlined. The crowd-sourcing business model (where anyone can upload music), like that used by many competing royalty-free websites, has the benefit of a rapid expansion of content. The downside is that with so many tracks being uploaded, the catalog easily gets bloated with mediocre music that does little to enhance a project, whether it’s a commercial, wedding video, film or webisode. Producers looking through these crowd-sourcing music licensing websites have to spend significant time sifting through vast collections to find something they’d actually want to use, or worse – settle for something inferior just because they don’t have the time to continue searching.
By hand picking each track, RoyaltyFreeKings.com only allows in music that meets a strict standard of musicality and production value. The growing catalog of hand picked tracks at RoyaltyFreeKings.com is produced by an international group of over fifty award winning composers, including a pop rock producer in Finland, a Nashville based folk and country expert, a heavy metal specialist in Italy, a renowned acoustic guitar artist in Hawaii and several well known trailer music composers. The high quality of tracks from these composers results is a streamlined shopping experience where producers can find, purchase and download the music they need within just a few minutes.
A guiding principle for RoyaltyFreeKings.com is fair treatment of their content suppliers. The composers who provide the carefully vetted music are given an equal share of the sales, before any discounts a customer might receive. This is in sharp contrast to many of its competitors, some of whom are offering far less – 40%, 35%, or in some cases just 30% of the sales to composers.

As movie studios tighten their grip on development, Hollywood producers must search for creative ways to bring their ideas to life, and many see internet crowdfunding as the future of independent story development. Film and Video projects are the most successfully funded category on Kickstarter, with over 25,000 having raised more than $ 107 million dollars to date. Producer Kendrick Wallace is developing one such project, The Amazing Adventures of Victoria Clarke (http://www.victoriaclarkeadventures.com), as both a feature film and as an original series to be pitched to high-end content providers looking for tent-pole material for their networks.
“The successful crowdfunding of some very high-profile projects has empowered creative people with movie ideas to go directly to the audiences to get their stories told. I feel that ultimately it is more rewarding to interact directly with the people who are interested in your project. By having a dialog with fans of the genre, and by really listening to what they want, my hope is that they will feel invested personally in the success of the project and will be willing to support it by spreading the word in social media, and of course by contributing on funding sites such as Kickstarter,” said Kendrick Wallace, Producer and Creator.
Kendrick Wallace has been working in Hollywood feature films for the past 20 years, and has produced visual effects on numerous high-profile movie projects, most recently Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter®. This is his first attempt at developing a project using social media and crowd-sourced funding.
“It is important to me to set up a Kickstarter Campaign that has the greatest chance of success possible. For me, that means creating awareness and excitement with the fan base for this genre of movie. I’ve been spending countless hours on social media spreading the word, but I’m just one person and I can’t do it all.”
In order to create exciting images that will fire up the fans, Ken turned to his peers in the visual effects community, and reached out to artists with an interest in steampunk stories and imagery. One of the first to help was award winning visual effects company Rodeo FX in Montreal, Quebec. (http://www.rodeofx.com)
“It is always hard to ask for favors, but I believe strongly in the potential of the project, and luckily people who see what I’ve done so far immediately ‘get it’ and they are excited to help. That’s how it was with Rodeo FX. I had worked with them on Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter®, and I knew they had some amazing and talented artists there. The timing happened to be good for one of their top artists to do some work on Victoria between bigger projects.”
The result of these collaborations is a series of photos and conceptual art pieces that visually support the scripted material so that investors have a clear picture of Ken’s creative vision for the project. Victoria Clarke tells the story of a female British agent, undercover in 1920s Hollywood as a B-Movie actress. The daughter of wealthy British industrialists, the independent and resourceful Victoria sets out on secret missions to destroy weapons being developed by powerful forces in post WWI Europe. The project has a fun, sexy and retro feel, with strong Steampunk and Dieselpunk influences.
“Victoria is a female cross between Batman® and Sherlock Holmes®, but set in Hollywood during the 1920s. She is playing at being a bad actress because she really has no intention of having a successful career in Hollywood–she’s just hiding out. She has a family fortune and access to this amazing steampunk-style technology, but because of political enemies in Britain she can’t return home. She is waging her own private battle against a brewing evil in Europe,” Ken explains.
As a filmmaker and science fiction fan, the concept of Victoria Clarke grew from Ken’s love of movies from the golden age of Hollywood, as well as his fascination with the steampunk concept of alternative futurism. His goal was to combine the two genres into a classic adventure story that would showcase the best of both worlds. Victoria has a strong female lead, epic scale and Raiders of the Lost Ark® style action.
The next stage in the Victoria Clarke is to prepare an informative and entertaining Kickstarter campaign site.
“While I have been working on growing the social media audience through our website, Facebook and Twitter pages, I’ve also been taking a great amount of care to build a Kickstarter site with the right amount of information, entertainment, and rewards for contributors. It is important that people are excited about being a part of this project.”
The Amazing Adventures of Victoria Clarke Kickstarter campaign is scheduled to go live in May 2013.

Themes will also incorporate national holidays such as “wake up remembering” for Memorial Day, and “wake up organized” for ‘National Clean Room’ day.
“We have amazing, passionate fans and over the last few months we’ve seen a big increase in the number of photos they are sharing with us online,” said Amy VanHaren, Stonyfield Senior Social Media Manager. “So we created an exciting campaign that gives fans even more of what they want; a fun place to submit their own interpretations of life, family, friends and food. Since we began using Facebook, our fans have loved showing us their organic ‘ah ha’ moments, and we’re looking forward to seeing them visually across our social space.”
Morning Emails Motivate Fans to Rise and Shine

From May 14th-16th, through geo-targeted tweets, Stonyfield will ask fans to tweet out their “L” stops, their grocery shops, and other local hot spots, so the Stonyfield crew can personally deliver Wake Up yogurt deliveries.

KidzVuz, the video review and sharing site and app for kids, and FPgirl, the style and fashion destination for tween girls, have joined forces to find the next girl fashion reporter. The search kicks off with a video contest asking girls to show off their fashion savvy and style.
“Fashion has always been a very popular topic for users of our site,” explains Rebecca Levey, co-founder of KidzVuz. “So teaming up with FPgirl to help them find a girl fashion reporter just made sense.”
To help decide who will be the next FPgirl fashion reporter, the contest, run on KidzVuz’ COPPA compliant video platform, asks girls to leave a short video about their favorite outfit, fashion trend, or fashion icon. The top three entries, chosen by the FashionPlaytes team, will win a $ 50 FashionPlaytes gift card. Then, the top videos will be posted on the site, where the FPgirl community will choose a winner.
“At FPgirl, we are all about empowering girls to be creative and think for themselves,” says Stacy Coleman, Interactive Marketing Manager. “Our highly engaged community is constantly filling us in on their favorite styles, trends and more, so this contest is a great extension to those efforts. Partnering with KidzVuz, who has a similar community and the same values regarding tween safety and privacy protection, seemed like a natural fit.”
“Safety is our top priority,” agrees KidzVuz co-founder Nancy Friedman “we watch every video and read every comment before it goes up. And it’s not automated. We use actual human beings! That way, we know that kids are empowered, engaged, and protected.”
The KidzVuz FPgirl contest gives tween girls – who are too young to be on YouTube – a chance to be content creators, and not just content consumers. Through the contest, they get to express their style, their opinions and themselves.

Friendship Quotes arein everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for Quotes About Moving On that rekindle the inner spirit.
Friendship is a precious gift that can’t be bought or sold. It’s value is greater than mountains made of gold. If you shall ask God for a gift be thankful if he sends not diamonds pearls or riches but the love and trust of friends.
“The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.”
Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
“Where there is life, there is hope.”
Friendship quotes – If you’re alone, I’ll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I’ll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I’ll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I’ll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I’ll just be me.
Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
Friends are like pieces of a puzzle. If you lose one it will never be complete again, I just want you to know that you are one of those pieces in my life I can’t afford to lose.
Quotes about moving on – When you cry, i laugh with the tear in my eye.
when you laugh with the tear in your eye, i cry. this is because when we die, we know that we ALWAYS made the other laugh with tears in their eye, but yet still know NEVER cried alone.
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.
Every expression of desired friendship has potential bite. Every smile reveals the teeth.
Quotes about moving on – Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love become as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
“My friends are my estate.”
