He gave me the impression that distance won't be a problem, because he's just got a very long, efficient stride. He got in a real comfortable rhythm, and when I asked, he really finished. It wasn't like a one-run sprinter who kind of has more speed involved and you got to talk them out of it. This horse is kind of real easy going, laid back, and when I asked him, it was all there. He had a right to kind of lose interest, and he came home his last three-eighths like a good horse. I'm kind of excited about him.

He made them in a timely way. And certainly, I know he made two, and one of them was really a remarkable distance from where I was sitting.

He looked at it from about a 10-foot distance and said he just grazed it, so he didn't tell anyone. I don't think he was being malicious.

To finally get a national championship - she worked so hard and she deserved it. It is hard to come by. There are lots of good runners in our division, but it was well-deserved with how much she wanted it and how hard she worked. She's the best female distance runner we've ever had here - and we've had some good ones, but she heads the list. She's going to be hard to beat.

Hogs are extremely sensitive to hunting pressure, and they can move quite a distance in a short time. If hogs receive a lot of hunting pressure, they'll pick up and move, often a mile or two away. So when you have hogs on your property, all your neighbors soon will have hogs on their lands too, whether they want them or not.

He's a threat to take it the distance every snap. That's a special gift to have on offense. He's an explosive player.

He's a threat, no question. If you put eight in the box, and we block all eight, you are going to give up a big play. How do you deal with Willie? His speed has to be accounted for. I don't know how teams will defend him in the playoffs. He can go the distance any time. If we block it for him, we're going to get the home-run ball.

He's a spectacular player. He's the best playmaker in the league by far. Especially with Terrell Owens not playing, he's definitely the No. 1 guy in the league, the guy that people are the most afraid of, the guy that if he has the ball in his hands he can go the distance at any time.

He's going to find it difficult to distance himself from his printing press comments.

It is a long distance that the seismic waves have to travel before they reach Mexico City, ... and that reduces the amplitude of the waves. It is very much reduced at this distance.

I think the key for us is maturity. It was a big jump for our freshman going from Pony League to high school baseball. You have a shorter distance between the bases and from the mound to home in Pony. But our young guys did carry a the load for us, or they wouldn't have been there.

I think the first thing you want to do is what I call the pre-snap read - what?s the situation, what down and distance it is,

I think the film was sort of a rock in a storm for Wilton. For me, Wilton was, and is, a force in my coming of age. He opened my eyes to just how textured the thinking has to be about America now, about the grief that Americans feel, the desire for revenge, and not allowing myself to have any kind of distance from that, or ignore it - which is too often the mistake of those who do not - shall we say - concur with policy.

Our feeling is that it was an incorrect interpretation and it weakens the state's environmental statutes. We have quite a few of these things.

They're going to one place instead of 14 places to get what they need. We think that's relevant.

Our two biggest improvements since last season have been Claire Hall and Elise Walz. Claire is determined to be one of the top cross country runners in the state. She is no longer an 800-meter runner doing cross country. She has trained herself into being an outstanding distance runner. Elise Walz was fourth at our time trial and looked better than ever. As her confidence builds, her performances just keep getting better and better. She will look to run in the lead pack at every meet.

Part of the process of reading is constantly hitting the pause button, and now and then the rewind button, to ponder a word that's been chosen by the author as exquisitely as the filmmaker chooses an image or a sound editor chooses a sonic clue - the tolling of a bell in the distance to evoke memory, for instance.

Surprisingly, I think our girls have a little more confidence heading into tomorrow's round. The golf course is playing hard and we did not play our best, so to be within striking distance is a positive sign for our team.

Spike Lee always keeps a distance with actors. He's not always joking around; a lot of directors joke around to get close to the actor. He has a different style. You never know what he's thinking, and you're kind of nervous. When you're nervous, you're more devoted because you want to be good.

My timing and strength is just going to keep getting better. It's early, ... You lose that timing with the ball dropping and your leg coming up. Everything meeting together at that one split second. You probably lose a little bit of distance and hang time if you are not 100%.

I think on fillies, seven pounds is huge. You might not think so, but on fillies going a distance of ground, it is.

I think he did lose his footing somewhere in the turn because as I was coming around the turn I saw that I had to hold out a little bit for the distance and all of a sudden it was very long. Something happened just as I went to commit to the fence. It's been a long circuit and there's not a lot of grass out there so he had a little slip and under the lights it's a little spooky and he lost a little heart out there. But he's never done that before.

I think his calculation is we have some further distance to go in the correction and banks need to be careful

It'd be great. That's what we're striving for, but not just in Boston. The goal is to get the U.S. back to where it was because we kind of became the joke of distance running internationally. And I can't stand for other countries to look at us like we're these 'lazy Americans.' I hate that.

I think this is a temporary distance record that will be broken some time in the near future.

My senses of space, of distance, and of direction entirely vanished. When I looked for the ground I sometimes looked down, sometimes up, sometimes left, sometimes right. I thought I was very high up when I would suddenly be thown to earth in a near vertical spin. I thought I was very low to the ground and I was pulled up to 3,000 feet in two minutes by the 500-horsepower motor. It danced, it pushed, it tossed. . . . Ah! la la!

There is a cheap literature that speaks to us of the need of escape. It is true that when we travel we are in search of distance. But distance is not to be found. It melts away. And escape has never led anywhere. The moment a man finds that he must play the races, go the Arctic, or make war in order to feel himself alive, that man has begin to spin the strands that bind him to other men and to the world. But what wretched strands! A civilization that is really strong fills man to the brim, though he never stir. What are we worth when motionless, is the question.

I was tired of admiring your legs from a distance.

Tell me what's going on here. Why can I hear your voice inside my head and why did you say you came to school for me?" "I was tired of admiring your legs from a distance.
