 "So, I bought a new cd and I was trying to get it open but couldn't with all the layers..I mean plastic and then tape and the tape is like government tape. It says open here..is that sarcasm?, and buy batteries and they are in there with layers and layers of cardboard and then scissors....you need scissors to get into scissors, what if you were buying them for the first time? you wouldnt be able to get them open. Then you try and buy a light bulb and it's this thin thin cardboard .....what are they thinking? "Ohh they'll be fine"
  Ellen DeGeneres

 [Analysts said Tuesday that the UAW's decision to offer concessions before its contracts with U.S. automakers expire in 2007 shows the gravity of the automakers' financial situation. GM lost more than $3 billion in the first nine months of this year, and Ford is expected to announce a third-quarter loss on Thursday.] Years from now, October 2005 may be looked upon as the month when the relationship between the UAW and the U.S. auto industry began a restructuring, ... This landmark deal may mark a more pragmatic and realistic UAW.

 [Book publishing has never had the money or the customer base to justify Hollywood's wall-of-hype approach, but the old publicity paradigm of coaxing reviews and interviews in the book pages is now supplemented, and sometimes supplanted, by all sorts of new marketing schemes. Random House Australia, the local distributor of The Da Vinci Code , is taking its publicity campaigns to shopping malls and street corners to lure readers into bookstores.] There are 200 new titles out there a month, ... We are always looking for new ideas.

 [Burke was industrious throughout. He chased and harried, sought the ball at every turn and set up a goal. You'd be slow to hail his performance as a new dawn in his brief, stop-start career but it was exciting all the same. He was called ashore after 55 minutes, a move that was badly received by the Rangers supporters, a section of whom booed the substitution.] The fans got their wires crossed a bit there, ... It wasn't tactical. He sparked the place today but five minutes into the second half he was dead on his feet. Knackered.

 [On the positive side for the Wolverines, Lloyd Carr said he felt they had found a defense after it had been widely dismissed as incapable. Notre Dame finished with 244 yards of offense and was 4-for-15 on third down. It gained a paltry 56 yards in the second half.] We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense, ... I liked the way we played from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. That's the kind of defense, if we can maintain that kind of effort, we'll have a good football team.

 [Predictably, Cannon -- who's also an actor and host of MTV's new improv show, ''Nick Cannon Presents Wild 'N Out] -- has become a darling of the antiabortion movement. Numerous websites and blogs such as lifesite.net praise the video for its ''powerfully pro-life statement, ... of his mother's dilemma. Another site, generationlife.net, says the video ''represents the emerging passion in this generation speaking out on the issue of abortion. This is the first wave of a post-Roe v. Wade generation telling their side of the story.

 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar: / And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

 Any comments that I make in relation to the technical foul, and the impact that it did or did not have on the game, I think would be seen as (taking) away from how outstanding I think Duke's players played. They made tough shots. They made the plays they had to make to win the game. We had equal opportunities, and we didn't come away with the points. We didn't get the stops that were necessary during the critical parts of the game, and we had maybe even some better looks than what they had; they knocked theirs down and we didn't.

 BIRTH, n. The first and direst of all disasters. As to the nature of it there appears to be no uniformity. Castor and Pollux were born from the egg. Pallas came out of a skull. Galatea was once a block of stone. Peresilis, who wrote in the tenth century, avers that he grew up out of the ground where a priest had spilled holy water. It is known that Arimaxus was derived from a hole in the earth, made by a stroke of lightning. Leucomedon was the son of a cavern in Mount Aetna, and I have myself seen a man come out of a wine cellar.
  Ambrose Bierce

 By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, ''Our Father Who Art in Heaven.''
  Douglas MacArthur

 Chuck obviously is a very bright coach. It's very easy to say, 'Yeah, I have a system.' It's another to make it work. He's got an amazing work ethic. Football is his life. I know that he's been involved at a higher level [assistant at Penn]. In my opinion, people have made a big mistake not hiring him. People look at him and say he's a Division III coach. The guy is not. The guy is a great football coach. I know he could win in the Ivy League. I know he could win in the Patriot League. I know he could win at an even higher level.

 Civilization is drugs, alcohol, engines of war, prostitution, machines and machine slaves, low wages, bad food, bad taste, prisons, reformatories, lunatic asylums, divorce, perversion, brutal sports, suicides, infanticide, cinema, quackery, demagogy, strikes, lockouts, revolutions, putsches, colonization, electric chairs, guillotines, sabotage, floods, famine, disease, gangsters, money barons, horse racing, fashion shows, poodle dogs, chow dogs, Siamese cats, condoms, peccaries, syphilis, gonorrhea, insanity, neuroses, etc., etc.
  Henry Miller

 Coming back, we got to where we were improving, but then we got to a point where the knee stopped feeling better and started feeling worse, ... Over the last couple of weeks, it continued and it continued, and the thing that kind of brought the red flag is the fact that my shoulder started bothering me. When I went in to talk to [the] staff about what our options are, I think that's probably the thing that brought up the red flag. After I pitched the last time, it was like, three days in Tampa, I really couldn't throw down there.

 Deke is a man of uncompromising vision and a remarkable consensus builder. Whatever job title or volunteer leadership position he has held throughout his career, his job description has always been the same: to improve the process by which the built environment is created and managed. He is unfailingly calm and good-natured in the face of the most difficult technical, political, or cultural challenges, maintaining a laser-like focus on the ultimate goal, and quietly persevering when many others would have given up in frustration.

 Each time I've covered for Sophie, I've got pregnant myself. I've emailed her saying, please don't have any more! The viewers see me starting off normal and ending up the size of a double decker. I don't know what they thought at the BBC when I told them I was pregnant again, but it's a very right-on place in that way and they seemed to take it in their stride. They just said, 'Right, how long will you be around for?' Lately quite a few presenters have had babies in quite quick succession, so they are just having to deal with it.
