I see it! With my old eyes I see it! From scullion to abbot and from cellar to tower, may Waverley and all within it droop and wither from this night on!

I won't lay charges because I was not injured. The man's punch is as weak as his explanation for ripping off this rural community. It is enough that my assailant disgraced himself and his company in front of government representatives and the community.

It emboldens them to take more chances musically with stuff, because they don't have to lay out hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote a product in the marketplace. You can find someone like Jihad Jerry, who really is unconventional. To me, this could save the music industry.

We had our bags packed, ready to go back to Atlanta. And all of a sudden, the rug is pulled out from under you. It's unfortunate. You go out there, lay it on the line for six hours, and 18 innings. To go home for the winter on a game like that is a bad feeling.

We were going to lay off (Snell), and (Gonzalez) hadn't played much, but once they hit a shot or two, we had to guard them.

When I first began modeling, I was very conventional looking. I had hair down to my waist in a side parting - almost church-like. But beneath the sheath of hair lay this Amazonian, strong-looking frame.

The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women.

I figure if someone out there is willing to put in 80 hours of work promoting my book, then I'd prefer they do it in a way that gives a better return to me.

There is a tremendous amount of detail to be looked after, and of course, that's why we have the experts to help us do the design but we really want the lay people, if you will, to look at it from a fan experience. It absolutely makes a difference to sit in the seats, sit shoulder to shoulder.

We don't know who we are. We don't know if we want to be a team that is to be reckoned with or we just want to be a team that runs off a four-game win streak and then we lay down and say, 'So what?' and just go back to our old selves. I don't know, man.
