We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Bill Lovette

We're making this investment to help meet continued, strong demand for refrigerated and pre-cooked bacon.

Peter Beutel

U.S. refineries prefer a lighter grade of crude than OPEC can add right now, ... The big problem is the refining issue.

Ali Rodriguez

There is no problem with crude supply. Prices do not depend exclusively on OPEC,

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.

Heber J. Grant

When I was a child, next to my own mother, no woman that ever lived took as much interest in me, gave me as much motherly advice or seemed to love me more than did Sister Snow. I loved her with all my heart, and loved her hymn, 'O My Father.'

When I was a child, I lived in Morocco, and I would always buy a lot of beads from the markets and to make jewellery for friends. Later, at 18, I would do my own clothes and make my own patterns. When I first came to New York, people just assumed I was a stylist because I was so into fashion.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Rick Spring

We've always set team goals. Making 100 points in a game isn't one of them, but if it happens it happens.

Mark Richt

We're going to make him a primary target. Now, I don't know how many passes he's going to catch. We could make him the primary target 15 times a game, but we may only throw to him to eight times because he's covered, and he may only catch six. But we're going to have more pass plays than we've ever had geared toward him.

What's semi-toxic for Clinton was raising money for the library while he was still in office and letting people know, by the way, we're open for pardons, too. We never solicited Mr. Cox's application.

Randy Lert

U.S. investment managers are bullish on large-cap growth based on what they know, what they believe and what they expect.

Terry Trippler

Using yield management, you don't have to raise fares to raise revenues, you just make people buy the more expensive fare class.

It's hard in this case to say whether Delta is doing this or raising fares outright.

Robin Clements

Scott Walker

We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

Walter Winnitzki

What we're seeing is a reflection of what the market as a whole is seeing. You had techs rallying over the last two weeks, and now we're seeing some consolidation after those gains. It's just that techs are a lot more volatile.

David Hopcraft

We're hopeful that the new language that we have submitted will serve as a rallying point for the different interests on this. It would allow us to concentrate on putting forward and explaining Learn and Earn.

Mark Twain

When I was a boy on the Mississippi River there was a proposition in a township there to discontinue public schools because they were too expensive.

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Ted Spadaro

We're going to try and slow them down some-you just don't stop those kind of people. You just give them different disguises on defense and try to keep them guessing.

Ron Dittemore

We're going to pause and reflect upon the crew of Columbia, their lives, their contributions, their memory, and although we cannot stop our investigation and the recovery effort, we will pause in this location to take the time to reflect upon their lives, their sacrifice. It's a day of remembering. It's a day of remembering our friends, and for us it's a day of mourning.
