Aegis delivered record revenues and profits in 2005, with organic revenue growth of 7.2 pct. With a healthy outlook in our markets, the benefits of our investment into fast-growing areas, and the consumer-centric approach we bring to the marketing mix, I am confident we will deliver further good results in 2006. |
After numerous training sessions, we began in 2005 implementing the software in the preparation of our audit work papers. It has taken a complete business cycle to get us to a point that we feel comfortable with the process. It took about $150,000 worth of partner and staff time to get to the point we are today. |
Agents have to be very, very careful. If I have a buyer client and I'm showing them houses that I would get extra money for, they could question that because it is a conflict of interest. There's a potential code of ethics problem and a potential disclosure problem with your clients if you don't do it correctly. |
All groups showed comparable sales up over 5 percent for the month, ... The economy is certainly an element of the upside surprises. We saw back-to-back quarters of GDP growth. People also anticipate a significant amount of fiscal spending particularly in an election year. This bodes well for consumer sentiment. |
All of the years when people said the relationship was bad, it never was as bad as they said. Now when people say it?s wonderful, it?s not as good as everyone says. There are issues that are in need of working out in a businesslike manner. Hopefully it will lead to harmonious bargaining, but you just can?t tell. |
All of you are aware of the journey I've taken this past year and I just want to relay to all of the people that sent along their prayers and well wishes, my heartfelt thanks. It was truly overwhelming to me and my family the outpouring that we received from the Twin Cities community and from across the Midwest. |
All parties have a responsibility. Israel's is to withdraw and do so now. The Arab nations have a responsibility to exercise statesmanship and create an environment of peace by condemning terrorism and stopping the funding of terrorism. All parties have responsibility. The president is still looking for results. |
All we can do is win. Unfortunately, we have to hope somebody else loses, but that's what it comes down to. We've done everything we can to get to this situation.

Almost everyone agrees that there will be very strong correlations between what's in the brain and consciousness, ... The question is what kind of explanation that will give you. We want more than correlation, we want explanation -- how and why do brain process give rise to consciousness? That's the big mystery. |
Although it is not a law yet, I'd suggest to all dove hunters that they try and wear some hunter orange. Sometimes, when you get a lot of hunters in one area, it gets a little hard for everyone to see the other. This way you will hopefully be more visible to others and we will not have as many hunting accidents. |
Although we haven't found talented skaters in China like Ahn and Jin, I believe that from step-by-step training, new genius will come out. Short-track speed skating needs the efforts from generation to generation. We will do further research on the regularity of the sport and try to resume the success for China. |
Amber is excited about having a baby and I think she surprises everyone by having a water birth, ... The scenes in the birth pool were difficult to film because I was in water all day. By the end of the shoot, the water had real baby pee in it, fake blood, jam and shaving foam - needless to say I almost vomited! |
