 'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.' |
| (Athletic Director and head basketball) coach (Dave) Loos did a really fabulous job working that first game out for us. He spent a lot of time on the phone trying to make it work for Austin Peay. I've very appreciative of that. We're going to be able to have a home game in our transition year in the opener here at Governors Stadium and it just comes form his hard work. How we'll play, we'll know on the second (of September). But I know, we're excited about the opportunity. |

| [Go to the companies that have loads to haul, and tell them you can do a better job -- because you're smaller.] Everybody has trucks, ... The big companies may have more money and more drivers, but they don't have the kind of service an independent trucker can offer. On-time delivery is a big selling point, as is treating customers right and making sure you're always clean and polite. Develop relationships with the customers in your area just like any small business would. |
| [If you want to place blame, look at plunging profits, sagging demand and uncertain outlooks. Just today, for example, Adobe dropped sharply after the company lowered its profit outlook for the next quarter. Most tech companies have limited visibility as it is, and the uncertainty brought about by last week's attacks won't help.] We don't think things are recovering, ... and in light of the latest events in New York and D.C., we're anticipating things to be slightly worse. |
| [James Cox, a professor of corporate and securities law at Duke University, thought the judge's decision was unlikely to delay the NYSE's schedule for pushing through the deal, which is subject to regulatory approval and a seatholder vote.] Strategically I think it is to their advantage to get a strong vote from the membership going forward. I think that strengthens the NYSE's hand in the litigation arena, ... It's not uncommon to do the deal and litigate on the sidelines. |
| [On April 12, 1999, missiles blasted apart a passenger train in southern Serbia, killing at least 10 people and wounding sixteen. NATO acknowledged it had targeted a rail bridge considered an important military supply line. But there was a train on the bridge at the time of the attack.] We certainly don't want to do collateral damage, ... The mission was to take out the bridge. He realized when it had happened that he had not hit the bridge, that what he hit was the train. |
| [People redundancy is another thing companies often forget.] You need people in redundant locations, ... You need to be able to switch to redundant operations as quickly as possible. In disasters detection is typically quick. We know there was an earthquake, an explosion or a bio-attack. You need a plan that says in the event of an incident, the backup system will need to be online in X amount of time. And you need to have drills before you work the plans into your system. |
| [The performance crystallized a new period of musical exploration for Hendrix.] In the earlier times, when he was with Noel (Redding) and Mitch (Mitchell), the songs were very simple, ... The simplicity of the 'Foxey Lady's' and the 'Purple Haze's' now went into some pretty intricate things, like 'Jam Back at the House' and then later the 'Freedom's', the 'Dolly Dagger's,' and 'In from the Storm.' And you don't have the time to do a lot of pyrotechnics; you've got to play. |
| [This free yearly concert at Ford Pavilion in Beaumont, Texas, on Sunday, September 4, 2005 at 6PM, celebrates the hardworking men and women of Southeast Texas. But this year, Tracy and Mark are encouraging fans to dig deep.] Our Labor Day concert has taken on a larger meaning with the devastation of the hurricane, ... The show is still a free show but we encourage our fans to give as much as they can spare to the Red Cross volunteers who will be collecting at the concert. |
| All year long, we've been trying to get better at the intangibles. In order to do that, it takes maturity. What I have told them from game one is that you have to get that in the gym every day. Because we've had up and down practice days, it shows itself on the road more than anything else, where you have conditions going against you. You have to rely upon something inside, a collective energy, and I don't know if we can rely upon that yet when things are going against us. |
| And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; / Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: / His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. |
| Anthony and Lamont are surrounded by the right people. They have a manager in Shelly Finkel who has a long history of working with the best boxers in the business. A trainer and mentor in Barry Hunter who I believe is the best young trainer in the country today. And a promotional team like Prize Fight who is focused on making Anthony and Lamont world champions for a very long time. I expect 2006 to be a banner year for the best brother combination this sport has ever seen. |
| As data storage volume continues to explode on a global basis, new resources are needed to help IT professionals who are responsible for managing that data and protecting their organization's continuity efforts. Our symposium will provide these professionals with a comprehensive overview on data management and recovery topics, helping them gain a competitive edge in the marketplace and become an even stronger technological resource for their companies and internal clients. |
| As we were approaching the overpass, I was looking at him. The next thing I know ... the windshield caved in and part of it was in my lap. I looked over at my dad sitting in his seat 90% unconscious. His eyes were open and his hands weren't on the steering wheel. I reached over to try to steer the car and get over to the side of the road. The cars were still going pretty fast. ... I managed to reach over and get his foot off the accelerator and get it over to the shoulder. |
