Line Quotations | Page 4

We believe that most retailers were in line or slightly above plan for the fourth week of December, boosted by pent-up demand caused by two snowstorms earlier in the month and the trend toward later buying in the Christmas season.

There are days the offensive line looks like they're putting it together. At times we see the light at the end of the tunnel. They're starting to respond, but they've got to grow up fast.

There are some bad police officers like there are bad people in every walk of life, ... When we see officers cross the line and tarnish the reputation and violate the laws, it's important that we take action when the jurisdiction of the federal government is invoked.

The reason for that is if there is a strike, you want to be 1st in line to take whatever Northwest offers as a possible option.

We struggled at the line a little bit. We took what they gave us. We had a couple of break downs on defense and gave them a touchdown.

We stress that. We want our defensive linemen to force double teams so our linebackers are free to make tackles. Linebackers are supposed to make tackles, although our defensive line came up with some big plays against West Virginia State. The fact is our defense has played well as a team.

We stress balance. Balance is key. I think what's hurt us in the past is we had one really good line and if they didn't come through on their chances to score in big games, we weren't winning because we couldn't fall back upon the second or third lines.

We stopped the picket line because I was having a hard time getting a regular group of guys there,

We stopped doing my clothing line about five years ago, so it isn't available anymore.

Weston's been drawing walks, but he hasn't been hitting the way he can. Today, he got back to hitting line drives.

We reinstated the guy. The bottom line is that he was cleared and he's back on the job. Now go do what you've got to do.

We're in a good bracket with good teams like everybody else is. Say all you want about who's in a tough bracket, who's not? The bottom line is, starting this weekend everybody will get to a chance to prove whether they belong there or not.

We started introducing clear pricing two years ago. The success of Mustang and Fusion proves that it works. We will bring sticker prices more in line with actual transaction prices and cap 'cash on the hood' rebates as we introduce new cars and trucks into the marketplace. It will protect our margins and consumers, too, through higher resale values.

When you travel through Montgomery County and notice the white crosses on the sides of the roads, keep in mind that the nearest trauma center to each cross is downtown Houston. The 2007 Texas Legislature will consider appropriating money for more trauma centers. If elected to the hospital district board, I plan on putting Montgomery County at the front of the line for one of these new facilities.

We're not going to survive with one line scoring goals. We need to get offense from other places.

We're not going to lose Manual High School; I don't care what the board says. We're going to draw a line in the sand.

We didn't defend the three-point line at all. We just didn't defend. We came out a little bit like we were guaranteed a win.

There is no point in speculating what happens down the line if you reach an impasse. But there is a lot of processes that have to be gone through before you are at that point, not least the Security Council.

Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty or what have you, nobody really knows where the line is. I'm sure we're going to push the line and push the envelope a lot come Sunday.

We don't have anybody with his kind of speed. We have to slow him at the line and keep him in front of us. They've got some offensive weapons, and they'll try just about anything. That makes them dangerous. And they've got nothing to lose.

We believe that consumers are the first line of defense against price gouging. The first effort is not to (fill and) pay at gas stations if a consumer feels there is price gouging. The second effort is to report to state and local law enforcement agencies, and the third effort is to contact us.

We believe that consumers are the first line of defense against price gouging.

While last weekend got a bit tight towards the end, we got across the line and that was the important thing.

Whether you are creating a disabled embryo or whether you might potentially damage an existing embryo, you risk that problem of crossing an ethical line when you move to human experiments.

Whether it was running the ball or giving up the Moss touchdown, we really had no chance to stop them. We lost the line of scrimmage on both sides.

We've been able to hold the line on electricity prices for a long time. Unfortunately, the costs we incur to serve customers have continued to rise over the years.

We've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.

We've always had a focus as a company on bottom line and fiscal responsibility, ... And I think especially now in the days of Internet consolidation and I think more of a discriminating investor, it pays off very well for us.

When we were shooting free throws, I was getting off the line quicker than them, so I got in there every time and made the tips.

When it came time for our kids to play to win, we came through and did a good job. We've won a lot of games at the line and we feel that's one of our strengths. When we can get the lead and put it in deep freeze late, we feel good about our chances.

We remain very positive on the home improvement sector and Home Depot's prospects, particularly given current valuation levels. Home Depot shares are currently trading in line with the five-year historic low forward price-to-earnings ratio, based on consensus estimates.

We're going to stay with the same rotation. We're evaluating on everything they do practice, drills and everything. But the bottom line is you're going to glean more out there at the stadium going 11-on-11 when the coach is not right in your ear giving you a reminder every play.

We're going to sit down later this year and come up with a list of the (water line problems) we know about that we just haven't done anything on.

We're going to shadow a line instead of one player.

We're going to put everything on the line on Friday. It's going to be an effort that's unparalleled to anything this year.

We're going to have a good front line and hopefully that does a lot for our offense and defense. For the first time we will be able to control the net. Our offense will get the ability to hit it over the blocks.

We're going to grow our product line and add different things. We all have some visions but we're not going to rush that. It will happen in stages.

What they want to do is drive the line with nine players and make you throw. Their game plan coming in is to score a couple, either off the special teams or a run off the offense, and then shut us out, not allowing us to run.

What they've done for us lately is when we've had a couple of shifts where we haven't done things well and lost momentum, they've been a great line to regain that momentum or at least get it turned around. You know what you're going to get for the most part every shift.

Whenever racers ski a course for the first time, the strategy is to focus on the line and to take the first run as an opportunity to evaluate how the mountain reacts.

When we'd line up for a game, we had the freedom to go play, ... instead of thinking so much.

When we did things right tonight, we looked pretty good. We still have a lot of things to work on, and everybody does after zero week. I think Howard played well and made some good decisions. Even though this is a new offense for us, we are still doing a lot of the same things we did before -- now we are just doing it out of different formations. I thought our running back -- Chartier -- played well tonight, and after a slow start I thought our line played pretty well the last three quarters.

We were supposed to foul, but he pump-faked me and I didn't want to put him on the line for three shots. Maybe I should have grabbed him and took my chances putting him on the line. I'll do it next time.

What a great race among the veterans out there. I needed to run my line and make sure Musgrave and Setzer battled it out. They did and I won.

We wrote the first line of code at 11 p.m. Wednesday night. Then we wrote the first line of code for the current code base Saturday at noon, and we completed that code Sunday at 9 p.m..

We wrote the first line of code at 11 p.m. Wednesday night,

We write a very strong script. The dialogue just doesn't exist within it. We give the script to the actors and they have a few days to chew on it. Dialogue is never written down. It's generated while we're shooting. We'll throw the actors a line and see where they take it. They bring lines of their own.

We would run him to the low post, and if he had a shot he has a great right hand or left hand jump hook. But he's more of a finesse player. If he didn't have a shot right away down low, we would run him to the 3-point line and let him shoot it.

What he's doing here is frankly astonishing. This kind of coordination is obviously an attempt to get around legal contribution limits. The bottom line is that public policy is being made not by principle, but by payment up front.

What has occurred is that supply swelled as our domestic refinery capacity came back on line after recovering from hurricane damage and gasoline imports flooded in to help fill the demand.

We found our energy in the third period. Tonight, we needed our top line to score and we got that. We also got our power play back.

We got to the line 29 times, which is a real positive. But we only converted 17.

We got to the line 20 times, made 17 of them or something like that. That was big for us to put it away late. They started charging at us but we took pretty good care of the ball and, again, executed at the free-throw line.

We got to the foul line quite a few times. Didn't make as many we would have liked, though. But it was the fools' gold that beat us. We were 1-for-17 on 3-point attempts. You can't shoot like that against a good team like East.

We got to the foul line a lot more.

We can debate over this issue about what to do about the driver's license from here to eternity, ... The bottom line is what we really need to do is work on the problem. What do we do with the undocumented immigrant? What do we do with the people who want to come to the United States? What do we do with employers who need workers from Mexico?

We felt it was very important to offer this line of products year-round because breast cancer is a disease that can strike at any time,

We both read the stories through last summer. There was way too much for one ballet, so we compared notes. With almost no exceptions, we were in line with each other about what we thought was important to keep.

We both have a lot on the line this weekend. We're fighting for the chance to host a first-round match while they (Hawaii) are out to prove they're the best team in the league.

We are getting better and our confidence is building. We're trying to find the identity of the offense. We have special players around us, and the offensive line is just doing what it has to do.

What's really driving us here is continued concern about how much damage has been done by either Rita or Katrina. It looks like things are a little worse than originally assumed, and things aren't coming back on line as quickly as thought.

We're going to line up some professionals -- counselors. The reality is just setting in for all of us. We didn't have the benefit of looking from the outside in. They're still absorbing everything that did happen. There will finally be some realization of what happened -- as it's been described to us, the worst disaster in our country's history.

We're going to line up in a one-back offense most of the time. We're going to be in the shotgun a lot. I hesitate to call it a Spread offense, though. It's really a ball-control offense, and that's something the Spread is not known for in general.

We're going to hear of a thousand more acts of heroism. But the bottom line is that having a response plan that relies on heroism is not tenable.

We're going to have to do a good job defending the run. They are a power football team whenever they want to be, and that's a real challenge to our defensive front and front seven. They have the ability to knock you off the ball and to dominate the line of scrimmage.

Unless something is changed in the current regulations, the cruise line industry will be able to treat the next family as we were treated. God save the next family.

Unless FEMA has a direct line to the president, the people of Hawaii and the nation are at risk. FEMA must be restored as an independent agency.

Very few pieces of technology cross the line and become a cultural icon.

Very few parents do save for college in their child's early years. When I counsel young parents, I make it clear that they have emergency reserves to protect them for unexpected events and so they don't have to use these education funds as a first line of support.

Usually, it's not on a nice weather day in the middle of the day that the power goes out. It happens in the middle of the night in the snow or the rain, and we have to send a crew out to run the length of the line to find the problem.

Usually, defendants involved in these cases have other charges against them, and animal cruelty falls in line at the bottom.

Usually by 4:30, we have a long line waiting to get in.

We're mostly try to get to the finish line first, as soon as possible, then if we can do that, we're going to try to get to October as ready as we can. We're not trying to make a start for Anthony Reyes. We're trying to take care of those two priorities. If it turns out that we want to lengthen out the rotation for some reason, Anthony's a great guy.

We're more or less waiting and seeing, ... Pfizer's dividend is definitely safe. It's the biggest drug company with good cash flow. It could easily buy a biotech company and improve their (research and development) line that way. That's what you're going to see with large-cap companies. They're going to partner up with biotech companies or buy them outright as a way to improve their (product) pipelines.

With no red line there should be a lot of goals. You can read the play where it is going up the wall. If you leave the zone early and a guy can make a good pass to you then you can have a breakaway if you beat the defenseman. There could be two or three breakaways for each team every game, especially if a defenseman falls down. It will be interesting.

With my type of swing I just try to drive the ball and sometimes I may hit a line drive a little too high. That at-bat, I just did.

We feel better about our offensive line now than when we first got here in fall camp. Especially the last 7-10 days, they've done a real nice job.

We're excited. We're ready to get going. We haven't played a game in a week-and-a-half. We've been doing a lot of scrimmaging against ourselves. Now, we're ready to line up against somebody else.

We're pleased with the progress we're making. We have changed some of the terms and conditions and parameters around the offerings in line with what they were telling us they wanted. That's got to be progress from their point of view and ours.

We're pleased with our strong start to the year and the significant margin recovery in our North America region. Our lower South America results reflected pricing and cost pressures in Brazil and Argentina. Asia/Africa performed essentially in line with our expectations.

We're just so close. Look at the games we lost - we were right there. We should have closed out the LSU game, we had SC neutralized, and Oregon we just got outplayed, and we played flat. We shouldn't have lost all three of them - that's the thing that stands out. There's such a very fine line between being 6-0 and 3-3.

We're getting closer to the earnings period, and the bulls are hoping that the actual quarterly results will be in line or better than expected and alleviate the fears that there's another warning coming in every night.

We're getting better every day. Tom is a great outside runner, Hunter runs the ball inside, and (fullback) Jamie Jackson gets around the blocks. And the offensive line is coming together, even though pretty much everyone is new. If we play as we've practiced, look for big improvement.

We're from Baton Rouge, so we don't know how to do The Second Line that great. We want to bring it home to Louisiana because of all people have been through losing their lives and homes. We want to bring some excitement back to the state.

We're better than we were last year at this time. If you're going to crowd the line of scrimmage on us, we can throw the football now. So we shouldn't see 11 people in the box trying to stop the run.

Yahoo! is still seen as heavily dependent on advertising, and since there is no clear recovery in the ad market yet, people aren't getting excited about Yahoo!. In reality, Yahoo! has diversified outside its core advertising market, and growth there will help it grow the top line nicely.

We're ready to line up against someone other than ourselves.

With the speed and power of today's game, the time has come for tennis to benefit from new technology. This new breakthrough -- perhaps the most significant change to the game since the tiebreaker -- will improve line calls for players, while adding excitement and intrigue for fans and TV viewers.

With the red line removed, ... those two will be able to play with the puck and make surprising passes.

With the players we have right now, we've got a great opportunity to a good football team, to even be a great football team. ... Everybody just needs to file in line and get to work. I'm very excited about what we can do - right now, not two or three years later.

With the new MB86276 2D GDC, we are expanding our controller line to meet the specific price and performance benchmarks of North American vehicle manufacturers. This version meets the industry's requirements for navigation systems appropriate for mid-range cars and trucks in the U.S. and Canada.

We knew what was on the line when we came in here. They wanted redemption from that Christmas tournament and I thought if we kept it close and gave ourselves a chance to win at the end of the game, we were going to be just fine.

We knew we were in the bonus, so we were going to keep attacking them. We weren't shooting the ball well, so we were going to try to get to the free-throw line and get points from there and that's what we did.

We knew they weren't going to line it up and try to run it down our throats. They did a lot of misdirection and kept us guessing. We need to go back on work on fundamentals like tackling, getting into your gap and doing your job.

We knew they were going to throw to them. But the bottom line is we had to force someone other than Brad Smith to beat us. We did that in the first half. We didn't in the second half.

We knew they were going to line up in 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends) and run their inside zone and try to get at us. Thank God, we had a couple of guys step up and make a play.

We knew they were going to come back. But when they came back, we stopped skating. We had to make a line and we didn't make a line.

We know what we can do, we know what we're capable of. We just come in and play. It means a lot to the young guys. It's a learning experience for them. You always want to know what it's like with the game on the line and you get a chance to play, and they did. They played well.

We know what our line has to do. You have to be able to take the pressure off the other guys. And you need that depth scoring to move on in the playoffs. That's been our identity pretty much all year. Our depth and our ability to roll four lines, I think it showed last night.
