She's got the conformation; she's got the pedigree; she's got the class. She's the kind that doesn't come along very often. I can't fault her. At the top end of the business, a horse has to keep climbing the ladder. Ever since the spring, every month, she matured and she headed the right way. They don't all do that. |
Shoppers did not waste any time this weekend looking for great deals in the wee hours of the morning, ... We attribute this to a combination of factors, including six fewer shopping days pushing consumers to shop early, retailers doing an excellent job of advertising great values for consumers, and an early Hanukah. |
Since the hurricane, there is a new 'normal' in Baton Rouge. We have become Louisiana's largest city. We went from 350,000 to 600,000 in a few days. There is gridlock at many intersections as New Orleans people struggle in a new city. There have been rumors of increased crime, desperate people wandering the streets. |
Small cap companies complain constantly that they are neglected. They have a very tough time getting Wall Street research analysts to follow them, to pay attention to them. There are small companies that will say that I have grown my earning at 20 percent over the last five years and no one will pay attention to me. |
So here we're using computer analysis to really define what the prescription is and what the problems are in the eye. In the past, it was 'which is better, one or two?' We would kind of measure in the office and find that one lens ? kind of like eyeglasses, so to speak, and we would carve into the eye to reshape it. |
Some are doing really well as freshmen and some are doing well considering they're freshmen. It's always an adjustment in lots of different facets. They're doing a great job of getting integrated into our system and being good teammates, and some of them are actually performing well. The other ones will, given time. |
Some days I'm going to struggle, ... Some days I'm going to miss things I should have seen. But with age and growing in the league, I'm pretty sure I can get to where I want to be. What I have to do is not lose focus and not forget about the things that got me here. If I do that, then I think there's no stopping me. |
Some people had counted us out because of the recent situation here, and I think our kids responded. We came within one takedown of winning the whole tournament. We had six guys in the finals, and I think that certainly made a statement. We ask our kids to do their best and I certainly feel our kids gave that today. |
State and some federal officials have been consistently denying there are any significant risks from the toxic mud that has spread across the city. The data they themselves have collected show that, to the contrary, there are significant risks from arsenic and toxic chemicals that have blanketed much of New Orleans. |
Students are looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. Those with extensive international travel experience can demonstrate an interest in and sensitivity to foreign cultures -- both of which are relevant to employers with global operations. Moreover, it gives the student something to talk about in an interview. |
Stuff-wise, that's as good as it gets in this league, ... The combination of him and Brad Ausmus behind the plate is just a tough combination. Brad knows what he's doing, moving the ball back and forth, fastballs away and cutters. It's one thing to move the ball around, but it's another thing to execute the pitches. |
Sure, it's essential I believe because it is one of these economic stimulants. There are so many areas in our state that we ought to be able to promote. I think they probably haven't come at us with much oomph either or it's been the same old message, but I've always been very receptive to the whole idea of tourism. |
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? / Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. |
Taking a five-year hiatus allowed us to get our lives back together, our heads back on straight, and gave us a new appreciation for each other as a band. It took trying?;new things outside of the band, although they were great opportunities, for us to realize the?;chemistry and fun we originally had as Little Texas. |
Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet.
