At the end of the evening there was a club full of smiling faces, as well as a very happy manager!

Susan Dunn

We've asked the congregation a lot of different things during this period, getting opinions, because we want the whole body to be working toward the same goals.

Dave Tippett

When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.

John Sulston

When it came to choice of subjects, science was obvious - since I was uninterested in anything else - but a decision that caused consternation in some eyes was my demand to take biology for A-level.

Paul Gray

When it became obvious that they were one of the teams that we could be playing (in the regional) we made sure to scout a couple of their games. Jared Wood is a solid player.

We've recovered one of the weapons, and obviously we're working hard to secure the other weapon,

Design should be easy in the sense that every step should be obviously and clearly identifiable. Simplify elements to make change simple so you can manage the technical risk.

Doug Wilson

When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL. But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

Wayne Chrebet

We've always taken great pride in going to other people's stadiums and sticking it to them. We have a great opportunity this week to not only show ourselves, but show everybody with a national game, that were certainly better than a 2-4 team.

David Singer

Tom's has a strong heritage and solid reputation in the snack food business, and we believe that this opportunity will make our company stronger. The transaction developed quickly, and we are still developing our plans.

We are confident that the combination of increased sales and operating synergies will create value for Lance, Inc. stockholders.

James Little

There is no question that these agreements represent a major step backwards for our union, ... We made these agreements only because it is painfully obvious that the results of bankruptcy proceedings would have been far worse. The company has been provided with everything it needs to survive. We can only hope that they will not squander the opportunity our members have provided them.

Gary Wolf

James Little

We made these agreements only because it is painfully obvious that the results of bankruptcy proceedings would have been far worse. The company has been provided with everything it needs to survive. We can only hope that they will not squander the opportunity our members have provided them.

Kelsea Ballerini

I'm so weird and quirky, and painfully awkward sometimes.

Thomas Peacock

He was sent, as usual, to a public school, where a little learning was painfully beaten into him, and from thence to the university, where it was carefully taken out of him.

Autumn Reeser

When I was little, I was a voracious reader, and that really led me to acting as well. I loved being transported into someone else's life, and that's what reading provided me. I also really love to entertain people.

Leon Brittan

We remain ready to cooperate with the U.S. (officials) in accelerating a (WTO) panel provided that they make clear that they are abandoning the unilateral route and respect the rules and procedures of the WTO,

We've battled and we've competed. It's just a question of playing seven solid innings. I still think we're pretty solid all the way around.

Ken Warwick

We've asked this question ourselves time and time again.

Will Holman

We've asked management that question (when a new contract would be imposed) and they haven't given us an answer. It could be immediately or they could use it for additional leverage at the bargaining table.

When it came down to Real Madrid or Newcastle there was no question in my mind. I want to play football. I love the Premiership - I've missed it while I've been away.

Michael Owen

Scott Handy

We're more balanced than a Microsoft solution provider, who pretty much promotes Windows as the answer no matter what the question is.

Alfonso Scanio

We respect and defend the right of the Church to address questions of values, but it is very serious to receive only one of the candidates for prime minister just ahead of the ballot.

Jim Hopson

Fred Siegel

What he represents is that part of Giuliani's legacy that has become permanent, on crime and welfare,

Sue Brush

We found that only about 4 percent of our guests smoked in their rooms. Obviously, it was a risk, because 4 percent represents millions of dollars in revenue. But we concluded we could get more business as a result of making this change.

Darren Jackson

We grew earnings per diluted share by 85 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, so it represents the most difficult earnings comparison for the coming year.

Richard Foreman

We've always respected Israel's right to defend itself, including going after armed groups and armed men in some of these areas. But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

Richard Miranda

We're meeting to go over laboratory test results and formulate a plan for what we're going to do about this.

Mark Swartzberg

We remain concerned about the company's long-term outlook and management's preparedness to address the challenges. Still, built-in expectations or valuation appear to be low, and 2006 should benefit from the structural elimination of Brazil and a year of disappointing results in 2005.

James Ritterbusch

We're going to see refineries further ramp up gasoline production as they come back on line. Concerns about gasoline will fade as this results in increased stocks.

We can only hope that they will not squander the opportunity our members have provided them.

Julia Glass

All the best novels are about one thing: how we go on. The characters must survive the fallout of their own cowardice, folly, denial or misguided passion. They squander what matters most, and still they pick up the pieces.

Ariel Sharon

I will not allow anyone to squander it,

Mark Ehlen

Our run was a great answer to their run. This is something that has plagued us all year. We would have a halftime lead and find a way to squander it away and then struggle in the second half to get it back. I think when we switched defenses was a big factor, and we also just stuck some shots when it counted.

Craig Miller

We've always wanted to live in the village. This street offers some good-size houses, big yards. Really kind of private and quiet, but just a few steps away is the hustle and bustle of the village.

Greg Maxey

When we went up 4-2, at that point we should've closed it out. We kind of let them get the ball rolling. They played hard. They're a little deeper than us and they had a little more pop in their step at the end. Believe me, I was a little nervous.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Joevan Catron

When I was playing we had chemistry but when I was gone we developed better chemistry. We stepped up as a team tonight.

When it came down to the last few games in district we had to win to make the playoffs and the kids stepped up and got it done. They stepped up again Tuesday night in a playoff atmosphere. Our seniors have dreamed about playing at the nice facility at Lee College. It's nice to see them accomplish that and play the way they did.

When it came down to a tight match, ... Chris was the one demanding everyone step up because he doesn't like to lose, which was interesting because it was only his second year playing.

Tony is a big part of our success so far this season. Tonight, everyone had to step up and do something that he would usually give us during the game as far as assists and points. Everyone did that tonight.
