 "we can't stop here this is bat country."

"If we're ever going to get out of here alive, we're going to need some golf shoes."

"When speeding past a law enforcement officer it is neccessary to accelerate. When he pulls out behind you and turns on his lgihts, it is neccessary to turn on you blinker. This will confuse him, however it is to let him know you are looking for an appropriate place to pull over and talk."

"This town loves a drunk."

 [And Ferguson was wrong in at least one point: it is not like last season because City are now under the leadership of Stuart Pearce and they have developed an obduracy that was an elusive quality under Kevin Keegan. They came back from a goal down to beat Portsmouth two weeks ago and they almost did the same yesterday.] I certainly don't think we deserved to lose, ... There's a great confidence in the dressing-room at the moment and a growing will not to get beaten.

 [As Roush and I sat in chairs and chatted outside the No. 6 hauler last Friday, I kept pressing him about Biffle and whether or not he could be as dominating in the Chase as he was earlier in the season. But instead of talking about the Biff and the No. 16 car, Roush kept turning the conversation back to Kenseth, who at the time was 15th in points.] I really think Matt can still make the Chase, ... He's got a good car this weekend and his team is starting to come on.

 [Claire travels in time. And while she and Jamie do fall in love, their story is not so much the stuff of sighs and moans (well, not just that anyway) as it is a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across 10 generations. These are genre-bending novels, and that's just one of many reasons that people read them.] Historical romance is not what I write, ... I've always called them historical fantasias.

 [Full yet empty at the same time, he took the rest of 2002 off and the first three months of 2003. In late April he was just about to begin the two-month sweat-a-thon that would get him ready for this year's Wimbledon when something turned up missing -- his desire.] I've always had this little thing I do when I tie my shoes, ... I finish tying them, slap the ground and say to myself, Here we go! But this time, it didn't feel good. And I stopped, right there and then.

 [Like Ernie, Liezl looks forward to Decembers at home. But she is wise enough to make a home of wherever they are, and presumes England will always represent that to her children. During a rain delay once at the Masters, Ernie took down a book on Ben Hogan and was especially struck by the portrait of Ben's wife, Valerie.] What a wife, Valerie Hogan, ... She was a lady, a total lady. A professional golfer needs a great wife, because the rest of the world doesn't care.

 [Number three occurs when Shaq, holding the ball, makes a quick pivot or simply turns to the basket and rams into his opponent's...what? Head? Shoulder? Jaw?] If you're guarding Shaquille, you try to lower your center of gravity, ... So when Shaq comes across with his elbows, a player such as Dikembe has his face right there. If Shaq threw an elbow way out, you'd say it was an obvious foul. But it's within his offensive move, and that makes it difficult to officiate.

 [Parcells said he challenged the players before the game, saying it was their responsibility to take what they have learned from the coaches in meetings and apply it onto the field.] I told them, ... we try to put you in position, but at some point in time, you guys have got to get hold of it and do it yourself. I told them that if you are ever going to be any good, a coach has to be able to turn the game over to you... today is the day when you guys need to do that.

 [San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom — who sanctioned same-sex marriages in his city in 2004 before the state Supreme Court voided them (see] California Supreme Court Rules Same-Sex Marriages Null And Void ... a golden opportunity to stand on history and do something that was noble and appropriate. ... It disappoints me greatly, and it will disappoint literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of San Franciscans, not to mention millions of people across the country.
  Arnold Schwarzenegger

 [The trip made a deep impression on the England players.] You read about Africa and the suffering that is going on there but you don't understand how bad it is until you get there, ... The one thing that sticks in my mind is that amid all the suffering, the people were so fantastically courageous. They had smiles on their faces most of the time. It was a very, very humbling experience for me. We have to change our outlook towards Africa and try to get something done.

 A seller-sovereign economy includes sellers who are monopolistic or oligopolistic without being confronted by the ultimate consumers who are organized in monopsonistic or ologopsonistic modes. It is an economy where enormous skill, artifice, and resources are used in getting consumers to buy what the sellers want to sell, notwithstanding the availability of more efficient, safe, economical, durable, and effective alternatives, including that of buying nothing at all.
  Ralph Nader

 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! / And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? / And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, / The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

 Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Bush are so different that if they both were looking at a digital clock they wouldn't be able to agree on the time, ... Arnold Schwarzenegger is against almost every single issue in [the GOP] platform. Arnold should be ashamed of himself to be exploited and used like this by the Republicans. George Bush governs his ultra-right-wing conservatives outside of the mainstream of America where Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to govern from.

 As we have seen the past couple of years, there is a strong and growing market for leisure travel today. Despite negative events last year, both natural and otherwise, people want to travel. Because of the desire, travelers are turning to knowledgeable travel agents who can help them find alternatives if their initial choice is unavailable. The surge in travel to Puerto Vallarta and the western coast of Mexico in the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma is a perfect example.
