Brandon Curtis

We experienced a deconstruction of our personal lives. Coming home to a familiar setting and being alien to it created a sense of isolation from the people we're close to.

David Lereah

With more buyers than sellers nationally, what we're seeing is a natural pressure on home prices as buyers compete to bid on available properties.

John Karevoll

When you step into an arena like the Civic Center, with so much history that they've made in there, yes you do come in as the underdog because they've done what they've had to do over the years to prove themselves as possibly the greatest program in the country.

David Richards

When you talk about integrating the two audits - doing it once, rather than twice - that's easier said than done. It's desirable to do it that way, but when you get down in the weeds and try to figure out the specific steps that you're going to coordinate... a lot more has to be thought through. The objectives of the two audits are totally different.

We're starting to click. We've been playing a lot of 1-2-2, just a flat-iron zone, and we're forcing teams to shoot it from the outside. We're trying to eliminate all of their penetration and that's what's happened the last (few games). I think we're going to be OK.

Don Waddell

When we call up players, we don't call them up just to sit on the bench. We expect them to contribute to our team's success right away. This season has been no exception.

William Rice

Web sites are extremely important to the technology industry, ... Companies can benefit from the independent evaluation recognition of their online efforts that the award judges provide.

Lee Bermejo

'Joker' was a violent, dark, and brutal book, so I wanted to do something a little less heavy. I played around with the idea of a children's book, and that eventually became 'Noel.' And I just kept finding these parallels between things I could do with Batman and Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol.'

Calvin Trillin

I've always thought that parallel parking was my main talent.

Mitchel Resnick

Working as a correspondent for 'Business Week,' I felt that I was simply informing people, not empowering them. I saw a parallel problem in the world of education.

Clarence Day

Real friendships among men are so rare that when they occur they are famous.

Frank Bright

We're making a small, inexpensive, and robust device to assess the same things, anywhere. It could work in the field, at the mall, in the parking lot, and at home.

We got very creative -- how do you make sure we provide enough parking and maintain the original plan?

Chuck Martin

We're finding this stuff out on the fly as well. But we'd do everything within our power to make sure the shoppers could still get downtown. There's more than adequate parking in other areas.

Rick Phillips

We're fortunate with the amount of traffic in the parking lot here that a) he didn't hit anybody in car and b) that he didn't hit a pedestrian.

Curt Hecker

We appreciate the concerns for adequate downtown parking. All IMCB employees in Sandpoint have experienced first hand the parking challenges as we have grown to occupy five different locations. Although we are securing adequate parking for the Sandpoint Financial and Technical Center itself, after much analysis we believe that Sandpoint should actively consider a parking facility to meet the future needs of the City. Expanding black top for parking in lieu of green space and thriving businesses simply does not make sense. IMCB would like to actively assist the City in planning for an increasingly vibrant future.

Clara Kassel

We've also gotten on the field early. Usually we're stuck in a parking lot.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.

Melissa Rauch

When I was out of work when I first moved to L.A., one of the first things my husband and I did was buy season's passes to Disney, and whenever I was bummed out about work, we would go to Space Mountain, and it was like a physical injection of anti-depressants.

Chris Woods

Tony is a hard-working guy, who physically is a work in progress. His best days are ahead of him. He's dramatically improved from where he was a year ago.

Fredrik Ljungberg

We're maybe not so physically strong. It doesn't really matter in the Champions League but maybe in the Premiership we have suffered a little bit for it, but I think in Europe we look really sharp. Unfortunately, we have not been able to cope with the physical side and we have suffered from that. In Europe we have been allowed to play more football.

Dan DeRose

We're going to try and be physical with the guards.

Lee Fisher

We're going to stay with what got us here. We're going with the basic principles of defend, rebound and run, and making sure our kids are not mentally and physically fatigued. This is the time of the year where kids are tired. You have to keep them focused.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

Dave Wood

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

Fred Sainz

Brian Schweitzer

Only by working together will we be able to form a stable, long-term energy policy that protects the citizens and ratepayers of Montana and protects our environment, while further strengthening our economy,

Peter Ragone

We're confident the measures are being implemented in a way that protects people's rights to express themselves but also allows people to participate in the convention, which is also a form of expression.

Laura Bush

The people have given us the duty to fend them and that duty sometimes requires the violent restraint of violent men, ... In some cases, the measured use of force is all that protects us from a chaotic world ruled by force.

Torry Holt

I have been saying all along that as long as our offensive line protects the quarterback and the defensive line plays well, this will be a good football team, ... I think we displayed that.

Ron Parker

I don't care as long as whatever they do protects this absolutely unique water supply,

Yale Hirsch

We've always had periods when something came in vogue, ... This is different because of the Internet. It keeps on going and the riches just keep astounding everybody. All the traders that come up today naturally gravitate toward Internet stocks.

Jonathan Maberry

When I was in middle school, the librarian there was secretary for a couple of groups of professional writers. She introduced me to Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson, and I became very friendly with them over a period of two years. Both of them were very generous with their time, guidance and advice.

With few exceptions, the leading women in philanthropy, notably Melinda Gates, are the wives or daughters of rich and powerful men.

Scott Browne

When we brought out Richard Petty, people started coming up and asking for autographs, ... and we didn't expect that.

Erica Mann Jong

What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.

Jeff Chirico

We felt it had a character, it had a great story to tell, it had interesting people and it had a rich culture that we thought would make for a great program.

Julia Roberts

What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Elizabeth Strout

If you get divorced in New York, you go into therapy and will talk to anybody you meet on the sidewalk about it.

Jane Jacobs

Streets and their sidewalks-the main public places of a city-are its most vital organs.

Hilary Clinton

Very calmly, we went out to the sidewalk in front of our office and continued our discussion.

Bruce Cook

I would guess we got 20 to 24 inches at least. I'm sure we got a couple of feet. Sunday afternoon I was outside raking, picking up branches. Woke up Monday morning and the sidewalk was bare.

Bob Dylan

I'd been going though his trash. He knocked me down. I was glad to see him, even though he was banging my head against the sidewalk. Afterwards these bums come over and say, 'Did he get much money?' I say, 'Money'? That was Bob Dylan.

Shirley Leinwand

I didn't mention anything about the sidewalk sale, and when my dad got to the store on Monday morning, people were lined up to get in. My dad asked them what they were doing there. They told him they were there to buy more of the sidewalk sale bargains they had purchased last week,

Richard Freeman

I am housebound. There is no point to shoveling the sidewalk ... the drifts are impossibly high and gusty,

Vincent Creel

CC means 'condemned by the city'. If a structure is a threat to public safety or public health, it's going to have to come down. If you seen the CC in front of the sidewalk at your house, there's no reason to fear. We're not going to come down tomorrow and tear your house down. That's just another step in the process.

Eduardo Perez

Suddenly, I see the wall falling past the window. I was afraid somebody would be walking on the sidewalk and get squashed. It was like an earthquake.

James Calvin

We respect the right of Native American tribes to operate commercial enterprises, and the right of licensed distributors to supply them with legal products. But in conducting commerce with non-Native American consumers, everyone in the supply chain should play by the same rules, including collecting state and local taxes.

John Hofmeister

We respectfully request that Congress do no harm by distorting markets or seeking punitive taxes on an industry working hard to respond to high prices and supply shortfalls.

Bob Hartley

We're going to pick up whatever is left of him when it is over. I just hope the Finnish team will supply the elastic bands (used to treat groin injuries) when he comes back.

We're going to have a bottleneck in the supply line, in the export line. We're going to have probably piles (of grain) somewhere needless to say, out on the ground out in the countryside.

Michael Franc

What they know is that the actual answers to increase supply or take down demand offer no quick fixes.

Andrew Milligan

We would still be buyers of oil stocks if we felt reassured that supply was going to be constrained in 2006, which we do.

Trilby Lundberg

What has occurred is that supply swelled as our domestic refinery capacity came back on line after recovering from hurricane damage and gasoline imports flooded in to help fill the demand.

Ken Cassar

What's really interesting is that most online retailers have forward integration, whereas this seems like a backwards integration play. Barnes & Noble already has a direct relationship with the customer and now they're trying to get further into the supply chain,

Steven Wieting

What's most important is that we've got demand and supply moving ahead fast enough that we're absorbing and creating jobs month in and month out -- that's not something to lament.
