Natalie Cole

We're being not overprotective but special, and careful, about it because it is special. We don't want it to get lost in the shuffle of the Christmas (rush). We want everything to be right, whether it's the artwork or the title. We're quite precious about it, but I think that's good.

Carl Freer

Sharon Hess

When we went to talk to those families, we found out that one of the families was originally from Herrin, so we were able to quickly place them in one of our vacant homes in Herrin.

Kent Perkins

We're spread out over two blocks and there's lots of fun things. Some families make this a family reunion event. It's a feel-good kind of thing. There's something for everybody.

We're talking to the league office and looking at conflict dates with certain sites, and trying to figure out what we're going to do.

Kay Robertson

Tom Tucker

When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases. You see names of fathers and sons and brothers and the reality sinks in that basically whole families were wiped out trying to help people. But that's what we do - what we manufacture generally has a higher degree of meaning to those that receive it. It's not just any award.

Maria Gonzalez

We're freezing out here, but it's totally worth it. This is the most beautiful parade in the world.

In the cold, all the blood rushes to your core to protect your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and brain. When you leave the water, the blood rushes back to your arms and legs, absorbs that freezing cold, and brings it back to the heart.

Leonard Susskind

Life is fragile: it thrives only in a narrow range of temperatures between freezing and boiling. How lucky that our planet is just the right distance from the sun: a little farther, and the death of the perpetual Antarctic winter - or worse - would prevail; a little closer, and the surface would truly fry anything that touched it.

Greg Morgan

I would be really surprised to see any type of freezing weather.

Everyone has the right to that freedom, right? Everyone has that right. It's freezing in New York right now. In L.A., it's sunny. But I would choose freezing over being followed.

Todd Jones

I think it's more festive and I think it's more of a celebration that winter's over. Baseball season's here, which means summer's here and it's going to warm up. It's more than just a baseball game, I think, in Detroit, more than any other city I've been in. It's like a celebration that the freezing weather's out of the way for the most part.

Dominic Monaghan

I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and having freezing cold glue applied to my feet. I won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long, days sitting in my trailer waiting... waiting... waiting. I won't miss glue in my ears. But I would do it all again tomorrow.

Mitchell Hurwitz

When we were making 'Arrested Development,' it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren't getting feedback. The job wasn't paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Cody Franson

When it come down to it on most nights it is about the player and the teams that work the hardest and not so much a chess match of strategy. Composure is key to playing defense and you cannot allow others to get under your skin and throw you off your game.

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.

Al Pound

What have we got to lose? The kid threw a bullet and he just beat it. That's the hardest run to make in sports ? inside the park.

Ben Howland

What a great feeling. To still be playing. To beat an outstanding team in Memphis. We're thrilled to be heading to Indiana.

We wrestled really well. I'm really proud of our effort and it's good to wrestle like this heading into the final weeks of the season. This was one of our best performances of the season.

Steve Sampson

We would prefer to finish second and have home-field advantage for the first round. Equally important is that we continue to find our form heading into the playoffs.

Sparky Lyle

We feel that we are in pretty good shape heading into spring training. I like the experienced staff we are bringing in and hopefully that will lead to a lot of wins this season.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.

Fred Miller

We're making key hits and playing tight enough defense to win some close games. I think we'll get more confident with our hitting as we go.

Tyri Squyres

When we are talking about Stewart in Orlando, it doesn't mean much to people there. A good portion of our traffic is coming from there and the Hudson Valley definitely hits home.

When we got the passes, we could not get our hits to fall. We were doing all the things we needed to do, but were not doing them well enough.

Bill Singer

What always frightens people is personal exposure, ... Nothing hits home like pricking yourself with a needle and signing with blood.

Davis III

What a beautiful shot he hit on 11. I'm standing with a five-iron thinking of hitting it close and he hits it stiff. And now I'm grinding to hit it close rather than just trying to hit a good shot. That's where you win matches, with shots like that.

Mark Few

What he needs to do is get his shot or be ready to score before the ball hits his hands. He hasn't been great at that.

Jodi Hermanek

We had 10 hits to their six in the second game, and there's no reason we should end up with a score like that with those numbers. We can't expect our pitching to carry us through these games with the support they got.

Shane Schueneman

We had 10 hits and played very solid defense. It's great to come back and play this way after the losses over the weekend.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Marc Kudisch

When we were looking for a weekend place, ... Shannon was working at Jacob's Pillow in the Berkshires, and I was tooling around. I called her all excited about getting a home up there. But she said: 'Yeah, but it's a three-hour drive. When do we have the time for a three-hour drive? With our one day off, we'll come up and we'll have to go home right away.'

R. Ingram

When we were 1-6, all we focused on was that we were better than that. We knew it; we just had to prove it. We've come a long way and it's great to be back to .500 and to know we'll get a home game in the tournament.

Sharon Hess

When we went to talk to those families, we found out that one of the families was originally from Herrin, so we were able to quickly place them in one of our vacant homes in Herrin. Our agency covers 24 counties, and if we don't have a house available, we can still help a family by making referrals.

Natalie Cole

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

Lauren Herring

When I was little, I used to feel a lot of pressure. Before matches, I'd want to throw up. But now, I've adapted. I do get homesick sometimes, but I have to remember why I am there and what I have to do to go pro.

Mario J. Molina

When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

Desarae Garland

When I was a freshman living in the dorms I went home a lot, but now that I live off-campus I really can't stay home for a long period of time.

Steve Matlock

We've assembled a team of dedicated, energetic people whose experience and enthusiasm for this industry is unparalleled. With these talented leaders in place, La-Z-Boy is in for an exciting ride.

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. And we believe that the church should get outside its walls and reach out into the community and meet needs of people that live around the church and in the same town, as well as other places beyond our boundaries.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

Joe Hudak

We've always wanted to try to figure out ways to improve our attendance. There's no doubt it's a great advantage if you can have a lot of people in the stands cheering for you and cheering against your opponents.

Randy Honebrink

We've always tried to reduce the number of people getting bit by sharks through education and awareness. We try to get our safety tips out through our Web site and in publications.

Charlie Sands

We've always tried to have the thing that people want.

Tim Coghlin

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Harvey Rosenfield

What we're seeing is a tremendous increase in the number of complaints and horror stories, including fatalities, associated with the rush to corporate, profit driven health care in our country.

Jim Bolla

When we attacked their pressure we were fine. But 75 percent of the game, we let their press bother us. When we played around with their press, we got into our scoring area with 10 or 12 seconds left (on the 30-second shot clock) and we had to rush a shot.

Dan Bollinger

When we had the lead in the fourth quarter I thought we rushed our shots. Nothing good can come out when you rush. We also were 6-of-19 from the free throw line.

Ed Tapscott

What has gone on here in the past, I can never change. I would caution a rush to judgment on the process of winning the entire community. We believe it will happen over time.

Roderick Wilmont

We got two good looks. I think I tried to rush it because I didn't know how much time was left on the clock, and I just missed it. I thought it was going in.

Tom Druhot

We're going to keep that light active until Monday after rush hour. Just because we don't have enough time to let traffic completely adjust.

William Shakespeare

The sight of lovers feedeth those in love.

William Shakespeare

Truth will come to sight; murder cannot be hid long.

Alan Jackson

Love is stolen in the shadows of the night. Though it's wrong all along, it keeps going on as long as they keep it out of sight.

Alan Jackson

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke rising against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor, or did you just sit down and cry?

Alan Brien

You can never win as a sight-seer. Somebody else, more often than not the first person you meet when you get back home, has been there before you.

What a magical thing is the bed, and what a vulnerable, innocent creature is the sleeping human - the human who never looks more truthful or pitiful or benign; the curled-up, childlike dreaming soul who has for a few hours become an angel adrift.

Gary Jones

What's lower than writing a man a ticket for sleeping on the street? If he had somewhere else to go, don't you think he'd be there?

David Menlow

We are looking for the energy sector to be the odds on favorite for market leadership that could reawaken the sleeping IPO giant.

Mike Stringer

We're in a hazardous occupation, so safety's our first concern. We're taking sleeping bags and stuff. So if it's hotels, great. It could be tents.

Mikko Hypponen

There is no need to have your computer online 24 hours (a day) as a target of an attack when you are sleeping or away from your computer.

Elizabeth Taylor

When you're older, you'll appreciate the advantages of sleeping alone.

John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Patrick Mason

We're going to see more software acquisitions at higher valuations. Stocks naturally will trade higher when you raise the bar.

Kent Beck

Received wisdom is that if you spend time up front getting the design right, you avoid costs later. But the longer you spend getting the design right, the more your upfront costs are, and the longer it takes for the software to start earning.

Kent Beck

Agitator and the Agitar Management Dashboard lower the barriers to accountability in software development and increase the value of developer testing.

Kent Beck

The problem is, in software design, often the consequences of your decisions don't become apparent for years.

Kent Beck

Developer testing is an important step towards accountability. It gives developers a way to demonstrate the quality of the software they produce.

Kent Beck

A rational model of software is to design it quickly - the economic pressure to improvise presents an interesting challenge.

Brad Wilson

What we're seeing is a great deal of customization on country and industry levels. When Microsoft was developing its CRM, it made sure that it was built on a Web services architecture so that it can be easily adapted to specific local needs and requirements. We don't ship an out-of-the-box, property-management application, for instance, but those in real estate using the software can easily add apartment information without adding programming code.

Roger Oberg

When we'd have arguments over who has the best basic process for development, nobody wins. Rather than controlling the basic process framework, we (at IBM) can leverage what the open-source community does. And other software vendors can do the same around our processes.

Bill Riley

Working with local police to target these individuals and get them off the streets means that Allentown and Bethlehem are safer communities today. These criminals should not be allowed to continue preying on innocent residents. ICE can offer great assistance to local police by removing these deportable aliens from the community.

Gene Stilp

We're going to confront these guys. We're taking this to the court of the streets where people think. We're taking this to the court of public opinion.

Hector Flores

We're not asking for amnesty. It's about respect. And taking to the streets is a way to make a statement.

Al Pacino

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

Al Jarreau

I sang do-wop on the street corner before it was called do-wop.

Chester Brown

As far as women who are being abused by pimps, I think if you see women who do incalls or outcalls rather than work on the street, they are less likely - from what I've heard - to have pimps. But you can't be sure.

Charles C. Mann

The Japanese drive on the left side of the road. Most streets literally do not have names.

Ron Huberman

We've added GPS on almost the whole fleet of vehicles in Water, Streets and Sanitation and Transportation. We've increased the amount of inspections we do on crews in the field. And we audit the work completed. That's the best tool we have to ensure quality jobs, validate materials used and make sure the work was completed.

Michael Franti

I took a trip in 2004, a year after the war started in Iraq. I played music on the streets of Baghdad for Iraqi civilians. I'd also play for U.S. soldiers at night when they were off duty in the bars. Then I would talk to people, and I would film them and ask them about their life and the conflict.
