The short-term impact is pretty clear and pretty obvious, and it's to be expected. Traffic really dropped off, ... The main effect of Sept. 11 was to exacerbate a trend that was already in place, and that is that consumers were really buying consumables and buying them in discount outlets. How quickly that will turn around? Your guess is as good as mine. |
The specific chore that we're undertaking at the moment is taking the routes of the existing systems and doing an overlay map to see where we're redundant and what's not served and see if we can address that. We want to get routes that are user-friendly and frequency that is practical, and that means from the user standpoint and from the cost standpoint. |
The television station is trying to branch out and be more regional, as opposed to a station that just caters to Midland and Odessa. É I think it's just remarkable we've come as far as we have in a short amount of time. We're blessed to have Daphne Dowdy-Jackson as our general manager. She's done a wonderful job, as well as the staff that works for her. |
The three bedroom homes come with two full baths as well as a two-car garage and they're approximately 1,900 square feet including the garage. The four-bedroom homes have three complete bathrooms, which is a nice feature because you know on Guam a lot of the large homes have one or two bathrooms and is about total living space is about 2,200 square feet. |

The whole reason for moving into that larger facility is that we know the limitations of what we have now. The goal is to move in with our current programs and current staff and student population then ratchet up in small increments. We're going to need more funding to expand the program, and we want to do it carefully to manage it well. That's the goal. |
The year is turning out as planned, ... As expected, the ramp-down of our turbine shipments in the first half created earnings pressure. However, we are executing with broad-based strength to generate significant growth in the second half. We see nine of 13 businesses growing in double digits and more favorable comparisons in power systems and insurance. |
The young players coming up in our team are really remarkable. That's one thing I hope people will remember about this year for this team: That we gave several young players a chance to take ownership and assert their place for the United States. ... I realize everybody has an opinion, and a lot of those opinions favored Cammi. But that's part of my job. |
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, / And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you: / Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God. |
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? / Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. |
There are lots of great players out there, and not in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd make it anyway, ... It was a little disappointing -- because of course I'd love to go -- but all the players that are going are really good players and deserve to be there. That's the way it goes. Hopefully I can keep it going and get an opportunity another year. |
There are several reasons for this (low number). The people who were taught to garden from seed by their parents, grandparents or teachers are more likely to garden from seed later. It requires time. You can't just sow seeds and walk away. You have to nurture that seed. Many people are too busy to start from seed and they would prefer to purchase plants. |
There are some reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to say the least... Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. |
There are tremendous dollars in the wind power industry but now a great majority of investors are looking at the solar industry to achieve a higher rate of return. There's way too much money chasing wind projects so that investors are now competing over wind projects. A lot of them have already raised funds and want to place them in a tax advantaged way. |
There have been a lot of video games based on Dungeons & Dragons, but in the past they have been almost entirely solo, single-player experiences. Now, with the Internet and advances in graphics, we can finally create an online version of that classic sitting-around-the-kitchen-table Dungeons & Dragons experience, without people having to actually go out. |
