It helped us understand that all of the hype around the game is totally unimportant unless you enjoy it. Don't fight it and don't get nervous about it: enjoy it. I had a great time the week of the Ohio State game. I had never been to that stadium and I was like a kid walking in there like a fan. It was fun for our group to have all the odds against us because that doesn't happen very much for us. And that's where we are again. We've earned the right to be here but the odds are against us. And that's a good position for us to be in. |
It's another great day for our nation, the Air Force and certainly for the Raptor industry team. Thousands of workers in 42 states throughout our nation can take great pride in the fact that we not only met the customer's requirements, but we exceeded these expectations and produced a revolutionary fighter aircraft for our country. The Raptor is the very first supersonic, stealth fighter that incorporates capabilities never before possible in one weapons system and in the words of the Air Force, achieves 'overwhelming' performance. |
It's sad. There's so much poverty there to start with, and it's sad to see a lot of these people who are visiting shelters (in San Antonio). It's sad to see, because these people didn't have a lot to start with. Now they have even less. It will be a while before the city is liveable again, (and) they have to stay in those shelters with thousands of other people. They may be stuck in shelters for a year or so. A lot of people were wiped out. And people will have to start all over again. It's rough for a lot of people in New Orleans. |
Italian audiences identified with this kind of passing through a pain to reach a truth in yourself. I did not want to make a scandal about something. I wanted to explore the dark places in all of us, to understand how this kind of thing could happen. Every human being has basically a bad side and a good side. It's a contradiction: As adults, we can do the best thing in the world and love our children, or we can have an attraction to young bodies and do a bad thing. If you can see it, you can stop it, and decide to be a human being. |

Our business has improved dramatically over the last twelve months. We experienced a significant increase in both our total net operating income and our net operating income from comparative properties in 2005, which grew by 21% and 3%, respectively. Our total funds from operations increased by 12% to $66.3 million. On a per unit basis, FFO increased by 4% from a year earlier. These improvements, together with numerous acquisitions completed and currently in our pipeline, have positioned us as a more competitive investment vehicle. |
Our deepest sense of contentment comes in those times when we have forgotten about all the things we want, and are just appreciating the moment. When we stop thinking about ourselves and just feel into the moment, we transcend that sense of separateness, and however briefly, we ‘merge’, like that drop in the ocean, with something much bigger. We experience a moment of bliss, heart opening, love, or perhaps even divinity. In that moment, it is all there. There is absolutely nothing outside of ourselves towards which we might strive. |
Our most rewarding experiences at Mr. X come when we partner with the filmmakers at the earliest conceptual stage to help design and shape the execution of complex effects sequences. On BROTHERS, we had the opportunity to work closely with the production team to create meticulously accurate pre-visualization for the sequence. Through this we were able to assist the director to choreograph the action, uncover filming challenges, and develop a complete filming solution down to each camera lens and position well before shooting began. |
Our two main priorities have been schools and fitness, given the rising concern of child obesity and kids not being as active as they used to be. Also, the game is so physically interactive that people have had a lot of success losing the wait with the game so we're taking it to the health and fitness sector as well. Those are some of our key spaces that we're actively working on. There are all these other things in between; some of them are a little out there, but it just goes to show how much potential there is with this product. |

The detention and possible punishment of Mr. Abney comes at a time when growing numbers of US military personnel, including Marines, are coming to Canada because of their opposition to the Iraq War. It seems pretty clear that Mr. Abney's sudden difficulties are a response to this. As well, it seems the Marine Corps is trying to prevent further desertions by making an example of Mr. Abney. Besides being vindictive, this is unlikely to be effective. The best way to end the US military's problems is to end the war in Iraq immediately. |
The exhibit is still divided into the eight themes organized by the Honolulu Academy. But it becomes a different exhibition every time it goes to another venue. The installation can inspire a considerably different experience. Our central curved wall with its portals creates a certain dynamic when looking through the wall to wonderful vistas and unexpected juxtapositions of images. We chose to hang the iconic theme across the curved wall, those extremely recognizable images that take on a life of their own in the pubic imagination. |

This has not been an easy decision for Emperor to make, particularly knowing the impact this will have on the community at large. Despite rising gold price, rises in the costs of other inputs, especially oil, which comprises nearly 30 percent of the cost base at the mine, has meant that we have to become more efficient. Emperor Gold Mines is the largest private employer in Fiji and has made substantial investments in the country but requires greater operational flexibility in order to secure a better and longer future for the mine. |
