The separation of families to me is very close to my heart because we lived that as immigrants. I strongly feel that we are all connected, and having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life, makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another. I am privileged to help in some way and I will always take that opportunity. |
The stock market is a discounting mechanism. Many people recently have seen their mortgages raised -- and many people have adjustable rate mortgages -- unfortunately they have been raised. Oil prices are at near highs. It impacts people's discretionary income. And I think we're seeing it in those stocks that would have a relationship to that discretionary income. |
The tests do nothing to enhance Pakistan's security environment. They further escalate tension and heighten concerns about an arms race in South Asia.... In carrying out these further tests, Pakistan has acted in flagrant disregard of international opinion.... The international community is united in its insistence that Pakistan should refrain from further tests. |
The trend to travel rods has risen steadily since they were introduced. They now comprise about 60 percent of our sales. A travel rod is a great choice for the plug caster who might want to take a fly rod on a big trip, but doesn't want to go overboard in gearing up. You toss the tube in the the duffle and there it is ready to go when the circumstances are right. |
The whole of Portugal has made a huge effort to be ready. The passion and enthusiasm of the Portuguese people show for football has also been brought to these preparations and I am convinced that they will make an enthralling and exciting tournament. The preparations in Portugal are going extremely well and we can look forward to a wonderful festival of football. |
Theft is theft. When you log onto an illegal service and download music for free without compensation to the artists, the songwriters, the publishers, the musicians -- all those thousands of individuals whose hard work and great talent has gone into making that music possible -- there is no difference between that and walking into a Wal-Mart and shoplifting a CD. |
Then if it becomes known that they both have been guilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place from among those who have a claim against them, the two nearest in kin; so they two should swear by Allah: Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony of those two, and we have not exceeded the limit, for then most surely we should be of the unjust. |
There are certain evacuees who have been rescued from their nightmarish scenarios, and they have been taken to certain airports where they are waiting for airlifts and people are able to receive them. We are working more closely with state and local officials to develop a comprehensive plan while all the while airlifts from the New Orleans airport have continued. |
THERE are three types of persons: those, who confess their own faults and mention the excellence of others, are the highest type; those, who highlight their own excellence and decry the faults of others, are worse; those, who parade their own faults as excellence and deride the excellence in others as faults, are the worst. The last type is nowadays most rampant. |
There aren't going to be any 'rah-rah' speeches coming from me. We're going to treat district just like any other tournament. I want them to be relaxed and to have fun. I think they'll know when it's time to get serious. I don't want them to be so serious that they'll freeze up before big matches. I just want them to continue wrestling the way they have all year. |
There is nothing much better than going to a baseball game, getting a decent seat with a nice view (for one tenth of the price of a seat at Stamford Bridge) and enjoying a game with a beer in one hand and a NY-style hot dog in the other - and no chance of some idiot behind me shouting abuse or spitting obsenities at me (I am a Celtic supporter, I'm used to both). |
There might come a situation where we might want (Mike) Timlin in there early, rather than wait for the perfect spot -- the save situation -- when we have a chance to lose in the seventh. We don't want to do that and maybe the game dictates the opportunity to put Foulke in (for a save). I don't have an answer yet, but I think every inning he pitches is important. |
There was an attempt to balance safety with individuality. The subcommittee feels confident that they have achieved that balance. There were some students at the meeting who had completely different styles and none were in violation of the proposal. The subcommittee recognizes fashion as an attempt to express individuality and there was no attempt to stifle that. |
There's a pace coach Jones kind of set from day one. No matter what happened, he's never veered from that pace. Now we're seeing the positives of that pace coming through. Now that it's the fourth game, the guys want to do more. If they threw everything at us right away, we would be here right now trying to slow things down instead of trying to accelerate things. |
There's an old saying in baseball: Take care of your own backyard, ... It's not only Georgia kids, but kids all over the Southeast. They've been watching the Braves and want to be a part of it. That's one advantage we have regionally. A lot of these kids want to be an Atlanta Brave. A lot of times, they're more signable for us than they would be for another club. |
