I've never worried about 'the reader' because there isn't one. There are thousands, and they all have strong opinions, from 'Magician' was the best ever,' and I've gone downhill since to 'The new book is the best ever,' so to whom to I listen? So I write for myself and hope other people like it.

My honored father will permit the observation that, though I have not heretofore always appreciated, as I ought, the motives and the feelings of a father, I hope I have learned wisdom in that respect; and my highest earthly gratification would be to make easy the downhill of life of those parents to whom I owe all that I am and most that I have.

Downhill track sports like luge are technology battles, as exciting as a NASCAR qualifying day.

When we have lapses defensively, then we start throwing rocks at the rim. It all goes downhill at once. We don't get stops and they score and we come down and shoot up rocks. That's the problem with us. One thing happens to us (defensively) and we turn it over or take a bad shot on the next possession and it all collapses.

We knew this was a downhill race and that we'd be very, very hard to beat.

When you run the option, the idea is to get going downhill right now and Dexter does an unbelievable job at that. He's a player who has the potential to score on every play.

When he first came here last year he was even smaller then, and a new guy, so you really have to make a name for yourself and get the trust from your teammates. And he came up just hitting people last year on special teams, and then finally when he started playing on defense he was really coming downhill and just hitting big guys like Jamal Lewis last year. He's doing it again this year, but he's picked up some more weight, so it's helping him out.

I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him.

I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.

He got a takedown late in the first period and then put me on my back in the second and I was down 5-0 and it just went downhill from there. It was a good feeling to be out here tonight after not winning a match my first two times here.

To feel nervous; to feel threatened and vulnerable and alive and engaged in that sense when interacting with someone you're really attracted to? I think that's wonderful. That's usually the best part. In fact, it's almost always downhill from there.

He's a guy that had arm trouble early in his career, but he's recovered from that nicely. He throws 89-92 mph with downhill sink, attacks the zone and gets groundballs.

There is an uphill for every downhill, and a downhill for every uphill.

We lost the coin toss, and it went downhill from there.

I think we're overdue for a game where everything goes downhill for us. I think every game we've played, there's been kind of a rocky road, rockier than in the beginning of the year, and I don't know for what reason. Now teams are adjusting to what we do, and it's our turn to try and readjust to them.

I think that August reunions are steadily trending downhill because people are busy. We go all the way through to Thanksgiving weekend.

I was all right until the seventh. It went downhill from there. I was pretty ticked off. I almost blew the whole thing right there. I left the ball right down the middle for Schneider and he did what he was supposed to do. He hit a double, but I'm glad he didn't hit a homer.

I was all right until the seventh and then I went downhill from there. I almost blew the whole thing.

People just looked at him, ... He was the first speaker, and it sort of went downhill after that. People felt we are not going to get the truth here.

Steamboat's strength is not downhill, for lack of experience, but our athletes skied very well in the event.

Now that the speed portion of the event is over, we are focusing on the (technical) events, where Steamboat is much stronger.

Some guys hit speeds of 50 mph on that road. But you took a hard right and had to scrub your speed. Everybody who was on a downhill bike lost their times on that section.

Linebacker fits me perfect, ... Not only is it a thinking position, but it's a physical, get-after-it position. I think that is a big thing with me fitting at this spot.

Lindsey is 21 years old. You see the girls who are on top in downhill are 30 and over. You need experience in the speed races, and she will get that. But already she's in contention to be up there and be No. 1.

I think if we would have had two terrible halves, that would have hurt us because then we wouldn't have known how to pick ourselves up. But I think the fact that we took it upon ourselves to change the game and not let it keep going downhill is a positive thing that we can take from it.

I think Hitchcock had a thing about hills: think of the house on the hill in 'Psycho.' Then, in 'Vertigo,' Scottie is forever traversing the city, going downhill all the time as he goes deeper and deeper into himself. It's as if Hitchcock is using San Francisco as a psychological map.

It definitely took our momentum away. It shouldn't have been discussed that long. We needed to get the match going. We definitely cooled down. We went downhill after that.

The deciding factor will be how good the geology is. I think going downhill has the potential to go a bit faster, it's easier to go downhill with these vehicles than going up.

We did not play well tonight and the only way we felt we could lose is to beat ourselves, and we almost did that. But I'll take it anyway I'll get it. For us to be 3-0 is huge. We felt this was a pivotal game in our season because if we lose, we could go downhill from here, but if we won it, we're on a roll and ready to go.

We watch film of ourselves, and looking at my mechanics, and I noticed some flaws. I tried to work on those. I tried staying closed when I throw and getting my arm up so I throw downhill more. I was able to control my pitches little better by doing that.

With respect to how long it's going to take us to get down the hill, we don't have a whole lot of experience driving this vehicle downhill -- we've been going uphill for more than a year now. We're going to have to take it carefully at first and learn as we go. I think the deciding factor is going to be how good the geology is. If we're finding geology that offers truly compelling targets (for study) as we found on the way up, then our pace is going to be a lot slower whereas if it's a lot of loose sand and that sort of thing we'll be able to move through it a lot more briskly and head to the good stuff off in the distance.

Downhill skiing is more like an adrenaline rush, it's more about having fun. This is more about a workout. I wouldn't do this just for fun. It's more gratifying and rewarding than fun. I feel tired.

Edison's overall team speed is fantastic, ... It's harder to go outside on them and then even when the tailback is six yards deep when your running downhill on them, they got a chance to converge and make plays. We came and ran the ball hard, but I give Edison's defense a lot of credit because they're a very physical, fast football team.

I started fast and hard, it was difficult with a hard climb and long downhill with headwind. It was a 100 percent effort all the way but that's OK,

I see things in his offense that I want to take advantage of, some personnel mismatches. I want to take advantage of all the different downhill runs that Frank talks about. I also want to throw the football vertically and I want to be in multiple-personnel groups. That's what's important to me.

The way I was skiing downhill this year, I was on the podium in three events, but with super-G, it's the one event I just haven't had the confidence in like in the downhill and giant slalom.

I needed to be clean and smooth and I just wasn't doing that.

The way I was skiing downhill, I was on the podium in three events. But the super-G, it's the one event I just haven't had the confidence in like the downhill and giant slalom. I had the wrong thoughts in my head. I just wasn't super confident getting into the starting gate.

I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom. It's a drag, but the downhill was good and I made it to the finish. That's at least half the battle for me.

I've never really done that great there but I enjoy the place. There's a couple of tricky parts, you've got to get a couple of sections right to get the lap time, like the fast downhill left at turn five, you've got to carry a lot of speed through there, then the same through the blind stuff after the hairpin (turn nine). If you get those sections right you can get a good lap time going.

It was unbelievably close. I can't believe I won. I have been fighting the downhill all year and I didn't come here with a positive attitude ? I was hoping to finish top 10.

Ten in a row - it's just all downhill from there. It's going to get really easy now.

People don't see the ball, they don't have good swings on him. I can't really tell you exactly why, but there's some deception to him. Some of it might be his height, some of it might be the downhill plane all the time, but there's deception to him and I really like it.

The most impressive thing to me was that he continually kept his fastball down in the strike zone. He had a nice downhill plane and kept the ball down in the strike zone.

They ran the ball on us all game two years ago. They pretty much ran the ball on us at will. It was going downhill on us every play. It just wasn't good.

They kind of sucked me up again on that downhill and into the second hill. I tried to make a pass on the inside around the last corner. Maybe I should've gone around on the outside instead of trying to pass on the inside. But, you learn something in every race and I'll just try to learn from this.

They go downhill faster. We think it's because they have delayed the onset so long that a lot of the brain changes have accumulated and when they reach the point of clinical manifestation, they can't compensate any more and they sort of crash.

You don't get a rest before shooting. There's nowhere to take a break. People on TV will see it as a dinky little downhill before the shooting and think, 'Well, it's easy.' But you've just climbed up a kilometer up to there and you're totally wiped out by the time you get to the point.

You don't get an appreciation on television of how fast those downhill or bobsleds are going. They have a lot of skill and talent to do that. It's really treacherous.

It looks like it will be a case of history repeating itself, ... The euro will head downhill after the rate rise.

It's kind of stupid what they did because it was obvious we couldn't ski downhill in the morning and they needed one racer to crash. It was not enough that two of the forerunners crashed.

It shows that we're on a downhill slope. Companies, as they go into bankruptcy or find out more about the legal risks, tend to erect reinforcements around their posteriors. That's bad for the consumer.
