Our normal watering restrictions were put in place during the severe water shortage of the early 1990s. But over time we have discovered that to water more than twice a week is wasteful and does no more good for the vegetation. So what once were water-shortage restrictions are now regular and in-place year round. |
Our parties and Presidential candidates must find ways to differ without being destructive, to debate without demonizing, to put our national interest ahead of special interests, to take the long view rather than the most politically expedient short-term view, to rise above partisan politics to put America first. |
Our Super Bowl VI that we won was the biggest game because it took a lot of pressure off. It was enormously satisfying because we won the game and it was a nucleus of players who had grown up together, always losing the big ones. Started out with nothing and we were still together, and it was really, really neat. |
Our third quarter results demonstrated the ongoing strength of our business model. We also delivered on the growth strategies that are enabling us to expand our industry leadership position, including advancements focused on accelerating the adoption of Internet media and the viable business models to support it. |
Our third quarter results reflect the success of our ongoing efforts to increase same-store sales while we continue to reduce overall costs of production. We were particularly pleased with organic sales growth in our Food Safety Division, and the continued productivity gains achieved by our dedicated labor force. |
Out of the $1.4 billion in labor cost savings target, the company let this opportunity skip away over $10 million (severance costs), clearly reflecting the fact that the issue is not money but the company is intent on driving this work group into the ground and keeping the heel of its boot on each of our throats. |
Over the medium term, though, they're going to have to rely on increased investment in the next generation network (voice over Internet protocol) in order to rip out costs out of the old business platforms, otherwise earnings are going to come under pressure. But that's planned for, and that investment will come. |
Over the past few years, this team has done some tremendous things, and hopefully I can be the piece of that puzzle to move them a little further. I missed out on a Super Bowl ring last year, and I'm very excited about being here, because I think the possibility of obtaining one here is beyond our wildest dreams. |
Over the past year, we've doubled our online baby assortment with additional items in all categories, particularly in nursery furniture and baby gear. Research indicates the baby category is expected to continue growing due to the 'echo boomer' generation and the Hispanic population, which has a higher birthrate. |
Part of what we're trying to do is get pucks to the net and outwork teams along the boards, something we'd like to build on. But now pucks are just going to the net. Some of the time when we're getting a lot of those chances we're trying to get second and third opportunities. It's really just getting the bounces. |
Particularly, I enjoy strolling in the streets, watching passersby, gazing at the beautiful variety of the dresses and perceiving their joy; their sadness. At home, during the small hours of the night, I'll paint from memory what I have seen in the streets until I am under the impression of being with them again. |
Paul Martin's softwood strategy is backwards and is designed to spin the Canadian electorate rather than end the dispute, ... His long overdue call to President Bush is better late than never, however, I am concerned that his recent actions have threatened any potential progress in resolving the softwood dispute. |
PCI PED approval ensures that retailers are able to meet the highest security standards as they update their checkout lanes with the MX870 and take advantage of its ability to create brand awareness, reinforce advertising, and deliver cross-promotions with video, digital sounds, animations, and targeted messages. |
People don't know it, but these guys come out and work hard every day. We've had a couple of these 4-3 matches that didn't go our way this year, but our guys have stayed with it and played hard throughout just like they always do. Today was our day and I can't say enough about this team. I'm really proud of them. |
People forget what everything was like back then, ... I was wondering how I would go over since I was so openly queer. Some clubs wouldn't let me do open-mike night (in New York). I couldn't do the gay thing (and this is just 14 years ago.) Fortunately that feels like a thousand years ago. Everything has changed. |
