[The defendant] was so worried that my case would spark a flood of similar claims that I never stood a chance. They drowned me in paper and argument. I've been told over and over again that it was exactly what asbestos sufferers went through for 20 years, trying to get their stories heard. |
[The MRI] had nothing to do with [the injury]. He didn't come here and it was bothering him and the next day we scheduled the exam. Anybody who gets a big contract -- those big guaranteed contracts -- they get an exam just for insurance reasons. It's standard. They all have them out there. |
[The] series is set in a fantasy universe based on the Australian landscape I've known all my life, rather than Europe or North America. It's not, however, based on local indigenous traditions. I like to think that it's something new, an alchemical blend of several very different cultures. |
[Today's series finale] is going to have a lot to do with how we feel about this road trip, ... As well as we did in Arizona, that's over and done with and we still want to try to win two of three here. That's really what we have to focus on for the rest of the year - winning every series. |
[Tyson and Ruddock wasted no time testing each other. Before the opening bell Ruddock bounced around the ring, seemingly eager to begin, while Tyson eyed his foe with a small smile.] I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight, ... That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them. |
[We're interested in] understanding a little bit more about what different segments are interested in with our product offerings and perhaps doing a little bit more in the CRM area of connecting with them on content or events they might be interested in - so both acquisition and retention. |
[While Kojima may be ready to move on, the Metal Gear series has been the seasoned Konami director's life's work--so far.] I originally wanted to make movies and novels, but I just couldn't do it, ... I was really hyped up about making Metal Gear, since it was going to be a game about war. |
[With Mr Cameron seeming to storm ahead, Sir Malcolm Rifkind admitted he felt] enormous sympathy ... It is a cruel, horrid business, politics, and to have been in such a strong position for so long must be a very, very frustrating situation but it is not the end of the road for him either. |
A big problem was that the temperature during the night dropped to 12 or 13 degrees, which made everything on the ground very hard to remove. We made it as good as possible. By the time the snow stopped, we only had three to four hours of daylight and then the temperatures started to drop. |
A brahmachari is he, who tries to attain enlightenment while he is alive and aspires for 'salvation' after his death. He incessantly makes efforts to improve upon his intellect and knowledge and to treads on the path of truth. Quite naturally gods are pleased by him and dwell in his heart. |
A common understanding has been reached. Despite these encouraging steps, it is important to note that the commission will ultimately judge the cooperation of the Syrian authorities on the merits of the information provided and the promptness with which its requests are being accommodated. |
A cut...won't affect the 30-year fixed mortgage rate at all. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed rate was 6.8 percent last week, and we think it'll stay about the same. But another interest rate cut could mean a slight drop in the short-term one-year adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). |
A knowledge economy doesn't mean producing doctorates, although there is a perception that higher-level skills drive the economy. It's too simplistic to say that one follows the other. There is no belief at the OECD that the production of advanced degrees is a formula for economic success. |
A lot of artists say they'd be happy in a classless society. But artists are often the first to deceive themselves. Put them in the kind of utopia they sentimentalize, and in no time, they would be binding their feet, lengthening their necks or flattening their heads, just to be different. |
A lot of crazy things happen here. I am thinking after the first period that we played great and now we got a delay with the zamboni. I was like, 'You got to be kidding me. What else can go wrong when we come up here?' I said, 'We might not even be able to finish this game.' I was a wreck. |
