Congratulations to the Islamic nation, to our sheikh Osama abu Abdullah ( Osama bin Laden ), to our emir Mullah Mohammad Omar, to sheikh Ayman Zawahiri (bin Laden's deputy)... for the destruction of America, which is at the forefront of evil. |
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing (James 1:2-4). |
Consumer spending had been in decline before this awful tragedy happened. Now comes this additional damper. Considering we are living in state of shock, sorrow and sadness, we really can't expect people to just go out on wild shopping binges. |
Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about the short-term health of the economy and, in turn, about job prospects. The Expectations Index is now at its lowest level in three years, excluding the two months following Hurricane Katrina. |
Consumers don't like to be shoulder-surfed when they're online. (But) this is not a deal-breaker for the Web. The Web is alive and well and will continue to thrive. These little bombs will continue to go off, and they'll continue to be fixed. |
Continued operation of our facilities has allowed us to improve our technology and increase throughput efficiencies. This increased capacity is very important in any plant, but particularly for a ship-based design where deck space is limited. |
Coordination with the local churches is still underway to work out a plan for people who just want to serve as host families. Please call 211 or 866-744-7778 if you would like to offer your help in offering your home to the hurricane victims. |
Cory and I, we are just working out. We should know in the next couple of weeks when we will be getting back in the ring. We are planning on getting back some time in May. All our promotional problems should be resolved in the next two weeks. |

Customer service people who are demoralized won't last. It's vital to get the right kind of people in the customer service position who will provide the right level of service to customers and be gratified and satisfied in their own position. |
Defensively, I'm very happy with the way Jess stopped Lucas. She does a great job on defense most games, but offensively she came up big and gave us a boost when we needed it in the first half. She hit some big shots and had some key buckets. |
Delphi is a major supplier and promoter of satellite radio technology, and we believe it will continue to grow at a very fast rate. We are very upbeat on the continued popularity of consumers taking the satellite radio option on new vehicles. |
Democrats are going to try to turn this into a partisan issue. The Republicans say no, that there are some Republicans involved but there are Democrats involved, and so this is really going to boil down to a nuts and bolts political argument. |
Denver is one of the best teams, both men and women. They definitely have a legitimate shot at winning both the men and women's championships. So we have to go up there in their home pool and try to beat them, as well as a very good FAU team. |
