 [Periods of slow growth are not uncommon in public radio, but the numbers still have station managers talking.] You grow accustomed to asking, 'How much bigger is this year's than last?' ... It can be a splash of cold water to say, 'What? It didn't grow?' |
| Any person I think, at some point, having consumed enough alcohol loses their inhibitions and they stop thinking about the consequences of their actions, and I think that's a classic example of what happened with this person last night. |
| Do we want simplified billing? Yes, we do. It is something we would like to see, especially if it saves us time and cost. |
| Don't spend the money and hope they come. |
| He has just smoothed it out. Fifteen, 20 years ago, not as many people were able to improve their skating as much as now. It might be a combination of the players being in top condition, that they have more access to skating instructors. Maybe the modern skates allow you to improve your skating. |
| He told me some of our guys were having trouble hitting the goalie in warmups. |
| He's a very competitive guy, he's going to be in good shape and he's going to work hard. That's what we're looking at. |
| I just think sometimes you have to have patience with these things, ... I go back to my lawyer days, doing all those big insurance claims [in Manitoba], and sometimes you are close but you just don't know it. It's hard to predict these things. And sometimes it's not so much a money matter as it is the timing. Sometimes things happen a little slower than you'd like, and that's the way it is. It's nothing personal at all -- you just have to be patient. |
| I kept making the point that when we drafted him I didn't see him as a classic offensive defenseman, |
| I know he had 11 goals [as a freshman], but 10 of them were on the power play. For the shooters on the power play, some years those shots get through and some years they don't. He doesn't have to be a power-play quarterback to make our team. |
| I've always been fascinated with being able to detect a minuscule amount of a contaminant in a complex matrix, the proverbial needle in a haystack. With LC-MS/MS technology we can detect substances that were previously very difficult or impossible to analyze. It is comforting to be able to tell people with certainty that our food has very few residues and that the ones we find are at very low levels. |
| If something happens, it's going to be sociological rather than technological. We won't see Y2K problems because of computers. It's just not going to happen. |
| Just like New York, the Las Vegas strip is a big destination for celebrants. The big hotels don't want any problems. |
| Scrimshaw on cow horns is only common in Australia, and in the Wild West. It usually involved ex-seamen who had learnt their skills carving whale bones, then ended up on the land. |
| The landscape is still very hazy for next year, but clearly Patrick's stock has certainly gone up. The consistency of his performances is what has been most pleasing for us. |
