 "Here's the analogy. If my body were a car, I'd be thinking about trading it in around now. I would like to upgrade. I would be actually on the lot somewhere and some guy with a loud sports jacket would be sizing me up...kinda lookin' around goin--maybe kickin my knees. Looking behind me going: "That looks a little bashed in back there...Yeah. You mind if I check under the hood?" 'Well yes I do! Thank you very much."(talking about her body and the fact that she's aging.)
  Ellen DeGeneres

 "I cannot bear it!" said the pewter soldier. "I have shed pewter
tears! It is too melancholy! Rather let me go to the wars and
lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot
bear it longer! Now, I know what it is to have a visit from
one's old thoughts, with what they may bring with them! I have
had a visit from mine, and you may be sure it is no pleasant
thing in the end; I was at last about to jump down from the
drawers."
  Hans Christian Andersen

 [Fans and collaborators attribute this success to Green Day's return to punk's outspoken, politically volatile roots.] There was an element of danger to pretty much anything the Clash or the [Sex] Pistols were saying, ... But if you look at the last five or six years, you'll see there's been no danger, or real statement that talked to kids directly: 'What's your government doing? What is your news telling you at six o'clock on Channel 4? Why do you have to believe that?'

 [Most people are aware the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, Fla., is forecasting an above-normal storm season, predicting 11 or more tropical storms and hurricanes in the Florida area between June and November. Better yet, the Weather Service office has its own concrete shelter built inside the office.] We believe in the need to have a safe building, ... We have a safe room that's practically a vault -- it's reinforced with 2 feet of concrete all the way around.

 [That's what makes this season so important in Tampa Bay. The Devil Rays need to start strong and hope for a boost in attendance from the league-low 13,070 average of last season. They need the extra revenue to chase after quality pitching next winter.] This year we divided our [free-agent] spending among a lot of low-cost players, ... Next year we hope to be able to take a little more money and maybe try to sign two or three players who could really help us immediately.

 A lot of people interested in Yao Ming were interested in Peng even. Obviously, they're looking at it as a springboard into China. I don't think a lot of marketers are saying we want an endorsement from Peng because we want to sell more stuff in America. They're looking at the possibility of a contract with Peng because of the long-term potential in China. If she ends up being an outcast in China and can't compete there, that would defeat the whole purpose for everybody.

 Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) announced that 45 organizations have joined the National Flyer Campaign in an unprecedented cooperative effort to stop illegal aliens and companies that employ illegal labor. Each organization is sending the flyer to their supporters and placing access to the flyer on their websites. Citizen volunteers are responding by printing the flyers at home and deploying them in communities from Wilmington, NC to Costa Mesa, California.

 As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole--the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives -- you'll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

 AVERNUS, n. The lake by which the ancients entered the infernal regions. The fact that access to the infernal regions was obtained by a lake is believed by the learned Marcus Ansello Scrutator to have suggested the Christian rite of baptism by immersion. This, however, has been shown by Lactantius to be an error.

_Facilis descensus Averni,_ The poet remarks; and the sense Of it is that when down-hill I turn I Will get more of punches than pence. --Jehal Dai Lupe
  Ambrose Bierce

 Based on our fieldwork, we have found that almost all the features of traditional cliff cave dwelling coincide with modern sustainable design principles. These cave dwellings reflect a core concept of Chinese culture?being in harmony with nature. They are the result of a people's adaptation to their environment with limited natural and technological resources. The people and their culture survived here for hundreds of years without leaving heavy marks on the environment.

 BRAIN, n. An apparatus with which we think what we think. That which distinguishes the man who is content to _be_ something from the man who wishes to _do_ something. A man of great wealth, or one who has been pitchforked into high station, has commonly such a headful of brain that his neighbors cannot keep their hats on. In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, brain is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Chief Hanson assisted in locating Smith and in Smith's final arrest. Chief Hanson placed himself in harm's way more than once in stopping and apprehending Smith. Chief Hanson was instrumental in coordination of evidence recovery both at the scene of the arrest, and Smith's hotel room. As a direct result of the actions of Chief Hanson and others, the FBI was able to develop a case against Smith, which the United States Attorney's Office was able to successfully prosecute.

 Even the Greater Manchester Police has fallen victim to an email DoS attack. Earlier this year its chief constable was bombarded with 2,000 emails per hour by cyber criminals in an attempt to crash the force's computer systems, ... Businesses need to realise that it could happen to them too. It is worrying that so many organisations have their heads in the sand and don't realise they are vulnerable to attacks that could potentially bring their businesses to a standstill.

 For too long, the industry has sold products in traditional ways, which has included grinding beef items into ground beef or selling chuck and round roasts at low prices. Today we're becoming more sophisticated about how we cut up and market what we have to sell. By refining our cutting and marketing operations we can provide consumers more of what they want while addressing the needs of beef processors and marketers to more effectively utilize every part of the carcass.

 Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.
  William Shakespeare
