In an ideal world, records would be filed in record stores by title rather than by artist, as they are in video stores. I think it's better to identify with the work rather than the people who make the work. You can put your faith in a piece of work, but not in a group of people you don't know. |
In consumer surveys, most prefer dealer referral rather than direct. They want the best information available. Today, they want to do 60 percent of work online, and I see that migrating to 90 percent. But it's a big purchase decision. They want to validate it by going out and looking in person. |
In creating this event, we researched some really cold winter events, taking into consideration fun for the family and celebrating what's great about winter in Michigan. Last year was a huge success and we promise an even more spectacular event in 2006 -- the perfect backdrop for Super Bowl XL. |
In disposing of your property by will, be sure that you do not forget God's cause. You are his agents, holding His property; and His claims should have your first consideration. Your wife and children, of course, should not be left destitute; provision should be made for them if they are needy. |
In LA, and also on tour, I've been isolated for too long. On stage you're the man, but other than that, there's nothing I like about being on tour. Thousands of people that worship you are nothing, compared to one evening with your friends. But it's my job: I'm a grown-up man, and I go to work. |
In light of the huge upside we saw last quarter, I think a lot of investors might have been expecting a little bit better. That may be a nagging problem when you consider that the stock was discounting fairly high expectations already. I suspect there could be some weakness as a result of that. |
In most cases, it's a discrete amount of money [involved] - it's not the entire campaign war chest. You are usually talking about a small percentage of the total campaign fund, in which case it's not practical to return the money because you can't figure out whose money it was that was misused. |
In my judgment, the reason 3,000 people were killed that day is because the terrorists did not know how to kill 30,000 people, and they didn't know how to kill 3 million people. But if they had known on 9/11 how to kill 30,000 people or 3 million people, in my judgment, they would have done so. |
In other words, liberal presidents appoint liberal justices who continue to take liberal positions for a while. Ditto for conservatives. But as new issues come to the Court, or as the justice for whatever reason makes adjustments in his or her political outlook, the president's influence wanes. |
In our industry, more borrowing means we are making more money and growing, ... Our business is simple: We borrow money from banks at approximately 7 percent and loan that money out to our customers at a much higher rate. So our bank debt only goes up when consumer demand for our loans goes up. |
In terms of people's lives, let's say someone had a reasonably good job in the tourism industry, they're not going to wait around a year and half or two years for their job to come back. What's there when it (the Gulf economy) comes back might be qualitatively different than what it was before. |
In terms of technology trends, a new operating system like XP makes a big difference. It makes the PC more stable and robust, so you can be running background tasks as your PC operates effectively as a hub or a server in your environment. Those are positive dimensions of a new operating system. |

In the first game, I took it personally when they walked Emanuele on purpose to get to me. It got me going a bit, ever since I've been trying to to keep my focus against Holy Cross and the best at-bat that I can. The season has really gotten better for me after that big first game against them. |
In the past few years, during the drought, we made a lot of effort to ensure the public had access to the reservoir. We extended the launch ramps and made sure the (navigation) buoys were in the right places. The reservoir is designed to go up and down. Our management is also designed to adapt. |
