Everything is going well. I'm getting a lot of positive interest, and I'm pleased with the interest thus far.

There's uncertainty with the impact of higher interest rates as to whether it will slow the economy down, and I feel that it won't, and thus we'll have even higher interest rates.

The revolutions of 1989, ... were made possible by the commitment of brave men and women inspired by a different and ultimately more profound and powerful vision: the vision of man as a creature of intelligence and free will, immersed in a mystery which transcends his own being and endowed with the ability to reflect and the ability to choose, and thus capable of wisdom and virtue.

There's no doubt that our backs had plenty of opportunities thus far in the tournament.

I see this as a win-win solution. First, we retain ownership which keeps the land permanently within the public domain and thus available for all future generations. Second, the Utopia Grist Mill Committee will have an opportunity to continue pursuing its vision of restoring the mill.

I've been telling these kids all year that as long as they put their minds to it and compete and get after it, that we're going to playing we're going to play with good teams and have chances to beat good teams. Howard's a good club, and New Mexico (Junior College) is a good club. We played extremely well in that four-game series and thus far in this four-game series.

The whole ramp up has been a pretty exciting time, so we've moved right from the first and second shifts, into the third shift. It seems like we haven't missed a beat thus far, so it's a pretty amazing time.

The whole line has been so-so. There's not really a standout player thus far in the first two games.

The stock is cheap and many investors are speculating on a takeover offer, thus it's no surprise that the shares are reacting quite strongly.

The size of this endeavor alone warrants this modest extension, ... When viewing these environmental issues, the impact on our infrastructure and community and, also significantly, the visual considerations along the majestic Hudson River, the time allowed thus far is clearly and grossly inadequate.

The situation as it is, is thus inequitable and will have to be addressed by government at some stage.

The self-existent Lord pierced the senses to turn outward. Thus we look to the world outside and see not the Self within us. A sage withdrew his senses from the world of change and, seeking immortality, looked within and beheld the deathless self.

The strength of our defense will come from a veteran group of returnees, ... We have a lot of experience in Kara, Kristen, Carolyn, Christina and Rachel and I will look for them to lead this team. The freshman class will add to the defense with their speed and athleticism, thus giving us a very strong back line.

The soldier headed out to war is in the best position. He can unleash his aggressions on his enemy and thus serve his fatherland.

The staff and administration have put forth a great deal of time and effort into ensuring South Routt School District reaches the benchmarks prescribed for annual yearly progress, ...

Technically, when a teacher contract ends, that teacher is counted as unemployed unless they take a part- or full-time job during the summer. When teachers sign their new contract, they're counted as employed again, thus the seasonal fluctuation in the unemployment rates throughout the state.

Sometimes that's a nebulous thing, too, because it may be just a mark that's submitted based upon what (an athlete has) done thus far and some people get in an A section based upon what they did last year and not where they are this year.

Pressures are particularly evident in the West where housing prices in local markets such as Riverside-San Bernardino (outside of Los Angeles) and Las Vegas are rising rapidly with an attendant marked deterioration in affordability. Rising prices in those areas seem more the result of speculative pressures and thus indicative of local housing market bubbles. There is the definite risk in these markets that prices will eventually need to correct sharply lower.

.... Press freedom, right to information and freedom of expression in Nepal are in serious danger and thus deserve to be a special agenda in the upcoming UN General Assembly.

Rather than seeing a rapid and significant correction in house prices as predicted by some, we are more likely to see a continuing smooth slowdown as lower price inflation attracts more demand, and thus liquidity, into the market.

Proactive, automated testing and monitoring can go a long way toward improving application performance and thus the caller experience. Many problems that callers experience are not due to design, but to poor quality - for instance, applications that malfunction under a heavy caller load, or that misroute calls.

Personally, I belong to the speedy school of golf. If it were left up to me, I would introduce a new rule that said every golf ball has to stay in motion from the moment it leaves the tee to the moment it plops into the hole, thus obliging each player to run along after his ball and give it another whack before it stops rolling.

Our all-in-one automatic threat protection, outbreak prevention and ease- of-administration--for the channel, this means fewer follow-up calls and visits, and thus better margin retention.

No question, this is one of the best games we've played thus far this year, especially playing against a team that's been playing exceptionally well of late. We would like to see more of this. And I think we're getting there.

Some spider silks are really strong, but not all of them are. The ones that are really strong can actually rival steel and approach the tensile strength of Kevlar. Thus far, the dragline silk seems to be the strongest.

Some publishers liked to have six pieces in a sack because they thought the smaller sacks would be opened faster and thus delivered earlier. Theoretically that's true.

So that thus the acid, the virtues of 12 dozens of lemons or oranges, may be put into a quart bottle, and preserved for several years.

Oil price increases are thus unlikely to be benign going forward.

Defense has been a strong point thus far. But that offense slowly but surely, it's coming.

Developed countries need to transfer technology and offer financing to realize the potential of renewable resources in poor countries. This makes good business sense. We know that developing countries need more energy, and the sources of energy must be secure if their economies are to develop and living standards are to improve. Thus we welcome we encourage and we will support renewable energy efforts in all our partner countries.

Despite outsiders being invited to write software, the iPhone thus remains tightly tethered to its vendor - the way that the Kindle is controlled by Amazon.

Anywhere there was a sense of community where people could alert us to a person who had a medical need that was not being met by what was offered thus far -- we reached out to them.

Antonio Pittman had an excellent spring and he's followed it up thus far with a very good fall. Erik Haw looks a little bit better right now than he did in the spring; maybe he's letting loose a little bit, maybe he was a little nervous. Maurice Wells is looking great.

A number of developments concern us. These include the excessive dependence of global demand on consumption, especially in the US, the elevated level of asset prices, particularly housing and the high and volatile price of oil. The downside risks to our forecast have thus increased.

A problem with the former method of testing is that it caused a treeing effect, which is a void in insulation. Charges that build up within these voids using the DC input method of testing would want to dissipate to ground, thus causing a breakdown in the cable's insulation, which would ultimately cause a failure.

Any significant weakness in the housing data would be dollar negative suggestive of a slowing economy, thus reducing the amount of monetary tightening required from the Fed.

as gold works its way higher, and as central bank inflation continues, the 'great unwashed public' will become increasingly more concerned with protecting their purchasing power and protecting what wealth they still possess. Thus fear of loss of wealth and purchasing power will continue to power the great bull market in real money -- gold.

As a result of this finding, the poker winnings were classified as income derived from a hobby, and thus not subject to Australian tax. The distinction between the conduct of a business and the mere pursuit of a hobby is often a difficult distinction to draw.

The business of fiction is the study of the human condition, and gender is something that many humans are obsessed with, thus making it rather difficult to ignore when studying the human condition!

Back in May, when the Padres went something like 22-6, they had a chance to slam the door, throw the lock around the handle and close it off for everybody else. And it didn't happen.

This is going to be my first experience playing against a team like this. This is going to be the best team we've played thus far. But we've worked hard and practiced hard. We had a good practice (Friday), and I think we're ready.

The whole history of calendar-making is that of successive attempts to reconcile the irreconcilable, and the numberless systems of intercalated months, and the like, are thus of minor scientific interest.

The 'white race' thus becomes the chief victim of its own myth.

There was one person who kind of stood up and was willing to test the standard and it didn't work out well for him. And thus the lesson was learned for all future nominees, and I suspect for John Roberts as well.

The report, while being good news for many, also points out that if the issues of the growing and aging population's future long term care needs, are not addressed today, the choices will be limited to the wealthy and highly educated. Access to choices for the population at large will be restricted to those who can afford alternatives to nursing homes such as assisted living or home and community based services. Any changes must extend the benefits of improved health and increased choice to those who have been left out thus far.

This may be the best day of spring training thus far.

This may be because happy people frequently experience positive moods and these positive moods prompt them to be more likely to work actively toward new goals and build new resources.

As much as we think of performance management as numeric and thus perfectly quantifiable, it is as much a product of context and social science as the products we design and develop.

As women break reeds for a mattress with a stone, thus do I break thy member

About the same time as my legal studies were thus beginning, I planned out a study of Philosophy and Aesthetics on a large scale as well.

It was important to come back with a more entertaining product. I think in a huge way, what they've learned is that change is not necessarily bad. If they see that tweaking the game will enhance the product and thus the revenue, I think you're going to see more changes.

It's unclear who the standard bearer of such a move would be as long as the official opposition and the renegade coalition faction are distinct electoral vehicles and thus do not have a single candidate. So such a move could turn out to be damaging for the opposition and expose their divisions. At this point, more anti-government loud noise would probably make them more comfortable than forcing such a vote.

Not even man that will re-find himself will be able to remove the vanity from this diabolic world, but he can change it from a vanity of his ideological debauchee into a vanity of self reconciliation. The divinity in man cannot admit vanity and thus it will try to replace it with new reasons for which we are born, but it will finally understand that everything is a big vanity and a great sin that no longer belongs to us but to the print that whispered our existence, full of the thorns of the moments that hunt us.
