Tight Quotations | Page 2

We have real needs that we have to meet for rebuilding in the Gulf Coast, and with our tight budgets, this is almost a zero-sum game. And now we're taking about moving a railroad that's been rebuilt already? That doesn't make sense.

When you get to that size, that's where government really does have a purpose, have a role. We have regulations, but I just don't believe they're tight enough right now.

We've won the tight games and before we didn't. Before we were receiving the brunt of the bad things that would happen. You see what happens at the end of the games now. At the tight part of the game we're stepping up and playing through it.

We've stayed with it pretty much through the whole trip, we've been consistent. We've worked hard, we came here with the attitude we wanted to keep plugging away. They got our number tonight. Give them credit, too. They play tight defense, they've been known for that for 15 years.

We set out to measure 25 brands in this growing hospitality category. However, in the minds of ultra-wealthy consumers, the Destination Club industry is still in its early stages of development. This is indicated by the dramatically low consumers awareness, rendering a large number of brands unable to be rated for lack of a reliable statistical sample. The category is populated with new brands with highly generic brand names. Many names are quite similar, generating a significant lack of differentiation in the minds of consumers. In this highly fragmented category, few brands have generated sufficient awareness, or differentiation, to make a strong impression on the wealthy. This accounts for the tight variances in scores across most dimensions on luxury status.

What we did find was that the women were more interested in the bulls. We thought tight Wranglers would be the top reason women would go, but it wasn't. It was the bulls. So we started merchandising the bulls, and our bull merchandise outsells our cowboy merchandise.

We're looking hard at tight end, and we're looking hard at a slot receiver type of guy. That's exactly the area we're looking at right now.

We're happy with our quarterback play and Paul Bennett emerging at tight end. Our defense had a good day. We gave up 217 yards but I think 130 of those were on two plays.

We're growing as a team and that means having poise in pressure situations. When things get tight at the end of a game like that, you have to get a shot every time down the floor, make it a good shot, and knock in your free throws. We did that.

This raw clip of Palmetto Pointe will give anyone goose bumps, because it has a dynamite cast and tight line of talent from other hit shows,

This race between Dick Swett and Bob Smith is hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride back from the beach.

We've taken into account the fact that three Tests are virtually back-to-back and we believe we've got adequate cover in this squad to manage that tight schedule.

When you put it all together you get what you have now, a tight labor market but no wage inflation. We are in a whole new territory.

We had batted him fourth every game and we moved him down today for the first time, just because he looked tight and hadn't swung the bat real well. I think it just relaxed him a little bit.

We had a week off and I thought we played all right. I thought in the second half we had the ball more in their zone and they had it in ours in the first half because of the wind, but it was such a tight game. I figured at the beginning it would be a one-goal game and it was. We have a lot of new faces in there but we did pretty well.

When the new home construction and everything does begin in New Orleans, it is going to be tight and it will have a long term effect.

We have significantly increased our short-term and long-term commodity price forecasts to reflect our expectation of sustained tight markets and ongoing deficits in 2006.

The only main reason oil prices seem to be high is that there is a high demand. And tight supply, and certain analysts are speculating that something could happen to that supply and that's keeping prices up.

There are people in Washington who become a kind of tight political circle, in the sense of almost the secret handshake.

We're seeing very strong institutional buying and it's for all commodities. Funds are seeing that there are very low inventories for copper and zinc and that's just an indicator of how tight the market is and how strong the worldwide economy is.

Magazine did a great job. For a number four seed, that was a pretty good team. I think truthfully our kids come out a little tight and trying a little too hard instead of playing and letting it happen. Once we calmed down and relaxed we started playing a little bit.

Look, we want freedom and we want liberty in this country. But we've also got to have the guts to stand up and run a tight ship in America. Morality is now a word that many people consider very square and outdated. But if we don't stand up for it, we deserve what we will get in the end - unprincipled anarchy.

Last year was probably as tight as I've had a team going into a tournament.

Last year Terryville played us tight in two one-goal games. Their defense was just as tough today,

Last year, we relied on our receivers because our backs were so young. Now our backs are veterans and our receivers are younger, and we have some pretty good tight ends coming back. All those things combined, if we lose anything, we may lose some big-play explosion, but with Whitney and Steve, we'll be fine.

Many times they were trying to run with a linebacker on him, which is very difficult, if you're asking a linebacker to play run support and also play the tight end.

Many companies today are looking to consolidate diverse supply chain systems into a unified process. Tight integration of Manhattan Associates' Integrated Logistics Solutions can improve efficiency and visibility across the supply chain and increase productivity, helping Build-A-Bear Workshop generate value and achieve strategic advantage--both today and in the long term.

Scott (Pruett) took me out and gave me a few pointers on the track but you really don't feel it until you get out there yourself. This place is pretty neat, especially with the tight corners and elevation changes. It's going to be a challenge (in June).

Sears is real doubtful for this week, and I don't know how long it's going to take (to heal), ... He is not going to have surgery, so that's a good thing. But we need Chamois in goal line, and we need him in the two tight end offense. I think he's going to have a better chance playing at linebacker eventually. But for right now, we need him at tight end.

So I know something about tight ends, and Jason's legit, believe me,

She was injured, but she fought till the last point, ... It was a really tight match. And I think it's a really big win for me because I get the opportunity to be in the quarterfinals of this big tournament.

Signing up with them makes the credit air tight and they back it up with a million dollar guarantee.

She came up with a hustle play and was able to knock those free throws down. That was just a huge play in a tight game like this.

She has a very traditional game. She's really coming on fast. Her biggest asset is she's very calm. She never gets overly emotional. That really comes up big in tight matches.

She fought until the last point. It was a really tight match. And I think yes, it's a really big win for me because I get the opportunity to be in the quarterfinals of this big tournament.

She fitted into my biggest armchair as if it had been built round her by someone who knew they were wearing armchairs tight about the hips that season.

Since I'm covering the tight end a lot, I wanted to talk to him about what tight ends are thinking.

Since he's come back, I've liked everything we've gotten out of him. Sometimes, he hasn't gotten any run support -- he's lost some tight ballgames. His won-loss record, I think, is misleading.

Since he's come back, I've liked everything we've gotten out of him, ... Sometimes, he hasn't gotten any run support -- he's lost some tight ballgames. His won-loss record, I think, is misleading.

She knows the importance of hurdling in such a tight field. It's coming along all the time and she's such a quick learner. By the time the Games come along she'll be good to go.

She made a big shot against some tight defense. That was a back-breaker for us.

Mom and them came up, and we just bunked tight up here,

(McDermott) stepped up. He?s come a long way since the beginning of the year. He was playing real tight at the beginning of the season, but he?s starting to relax a bit and it?s made a difference.

My legs were really tight today, so I didn't run all my events. I saw what I can improve, and I need to work on my start in the 60.

Network managers need to be more application-aware. As you move toward service-oriented architectures and Web services, the management changes pretty dramatically, and there isn't the tight coupling between the application and the infrastructure. It's more dynamic, and the network has more impact on the performance of those applications.

Net interest margin and Net interest income were stronger than expected, as BAC kept a tight lid on deposit pricing, shrank the securities portfolio and delivered strong loan growth. This should help reduce investor concerns on the bank's ability to manage through the flat yield curve.

One of the things I'm always reminded of when I'm back on stage is how much you have to be aware of and in control of. There is no tight shot. There is no 'we're only shoulders-up this time.' No, from the top of your head to your pinky toe, you're telegraphing part of the story the entire time you're up there.

One big difference was that last year retailers kept promotions under tight control. Things were more panicky this year.

One of the best games I've ever seen by a tight end.

One of the areas (Freeman) has had to target and work hard to improve on are (pitches) tight on him and things spinning away from him. Obviously we'd like to get him on base and see if we can get him in motion a little bit.

Of course there is more intensity. And the refs get a little tight too. It is the playoffs and nobody wants to lose a game and everybody is out there trying to win.

None of this is fixed in stone at this point. (The tight schedule) is a little aggressive, but I think it's doable.

One thing we talk about is on any (throw-in), we need to be really alert and marking up in the box, and we didn't mark up in the box there. We've been strong defensively all year, but the goals we've given up have been fairly soft goals. We need to be tight on that, and we weren't.

One thing we need to watch is that he doesn't keep the screws on too tight and go overboard with these hikes. Everybody was looking for some language that would suggest a pause near these levels.

Money's just getting tight and something had to go. And insurance is one of the easiest things when you compare it to electricity and phone and mortgage.

Money is very tight right now, ... You can't go to a bank and ask for a commercial loan if you don't have a business to show them, no profit and loss statements because you're not doing any business.

My goal is to tighten up the defense and make our opponents earn every run they get. We have to have a tight defense. Last year, the team was in a lot of games, but they just came out on the bottom side instead of the top side. My goal is to have us in every game.

Maybe the economy is not hurt as much as people feared. Tight supplies plus more demand means high prices.

Now, whenever I need to go online, I confine myself to a tight circle: Gmail, MLB.com, NYTimes.com, Slate and maybe Facebook.

Now the market is nervous about a new storm, while supplies are tight and oil facilities have not fully recovered (from the last hurricanes).

Naturally I'm very disappointed. But a tight time line became even tighter once the surgeon discovered more damage than was expected and to be back bowling 10 weeks after the operation was probably always likely to be optimistic.

No doubt the Australian public is talking about the tight Ashes battle that we're currently in, and hopefully, that can whet people's appetites for even more great cricket in October.

Nothing against senior citizens, but they tend to have more time on their hands and their schedules aren't as tight as people who've got to work. You might be curious about the tumors they want to tell you about, but you're probably in a hurry, too. You're there to work out, but you also want to be tactful.

Right now it's kind of tight but hopefully I can get it loosened up a little bit and probably be able to play. After I cooled down a little bit and they put ice on it I was able to start walking around, so it's getting a little better.

Reuben is a fighter and that's what we love about him. The offensive line and the tight ends love blocking for the guy because he gives you everything.

Retail sales have slowed over the last six months in response to the slower pace of job creation, higher rates, and increased volatility in the stock market. Indeed, in the past two years there has been tight relationship between the Nasdaq and retail spending, suggesting further spending weakness in coming months.

People were worried post-Katrina as we have real tight product supply,

One thing most people would agree is that climate change would add further uncertainties to our already quite tight water supply situation in China.

One thing about us over the mid-season is that in tight games we really pull ahead.

Nobody here has taken him and put him in a chair and tried to get him wound up so tight that he can't perform by breaking down his mechanics, ... We've kept things as simple as possible for a young left-handed pitcher to go out there and perform. I really believe that, at this point and time in the season, this is one of the more challenging things that's happened to him in his career. This'll be a good barometer of who and what he is.

Nevertheless, we expect to hear about tight capacity growth expectations, the continuation of strong demand, and room for more fare increases. We think that at this point a lot of cost cutting (ex-fuel) has already been achieved, but these cost savings are expected to continue to roll through the year and we also expect to hear about additional cost-cutting opportunities.

On the second lap it felt tight like a ball, and at that point I thought about stopping and slowed down. I hope it's not a big deal and will heal in a couple of days.

On paper it looked like it was going to be a pretty tight dual. Merrill beat us up through the middle and that was the key.

On that play, you have to give Coal City's safety credit. We planned earlier to use that play and we kept our tight end to block. Carpenter noticed that and drifted over to the middle of the field for the interception. We dug ourselves a tough hole but we survived.

On the face of it, we are both capable of playing open, entertaining rugby to a high standard, but it may be that the team who adapts to something different, maybe some tight forward play, is the one who succeeds.

One of the reasons we never had a Website before was that we're such a tight community, everyone is closely related, through family or through business. There just didn't seem to be a need for one.

I was so tight standing up so early in the race that I was just having a hard time, ... As we freed up and got rid of some fuel I was a little better but I was still too tight.

I was surprised ... I didn't know what was happening. He had a good tight waist, so I was just trying to get to my feet.

I was surprised, ... I didn't expect the tight end to be able sneak through and cut my legs up, but he did.

I was surprised by their defensive intensity and how fast they brought the ball up. But this was one of our best seasons. I'm blessed to have such a good team. These young ladies, win, lose or draw, are friends. The chemistry is unbelievable. Whether they play or not, they're the same. We're a tight group.

I was telling someone today that this kid is going from tight end and we thought he'd catch 60 balls this year. Last year, he was playing center and now he's our quarterback. He's a great athlete. He's a great kid. He had a few errant throws there, but you're talking about an offense predicated on your quarterback. Mike has done a great job. He's only had four days to get ready.

I wouldn't have been disappointed if we were a .500 team right now, but this is great. We have a really tight group and we have 22 kids, which is our deepest team in a long time.

I would have rather been about three out, but that's where Lava Man was. In order for me to jerk out four off the fence, I just thought it wouldn't have been productive. I opted to come down that fence, and it's just not as tight as it three or four out. I think if I would have been out on that part of the track, I could have gotten the winner, but then that's more ground.

I would be jacked up. But I'd be worried about that high, tight pitch.

If we go to Hong Kong, it then gets too tight to do the quarantine, have a break and be back in Melbourne for the Australian Cup and on to Dubai.

I didn't get drafted to be a blocking tight end or a fullback to lead up in the linebackers, ... No one works harder than this staff to get their personnel the ball. I know they are going to try and get me the ball this year.

I don't feel totally comfortable with my driver and this is a tight driving golf course, so I had to hit three-wood quite a few times today. But my irons feel really good right now.

I'd like to talk to him, but just about being the best tight end I can be, ... I know he did some great things here and was part of a lot of winning teams. I want to experience that type of success here. I'm not too worried about my statistics because that's not what's important. It's winning games.

I'd be lying to say it isn't tough. We did look a little tight in the first half, but I don't think fatigue was an issue.

I came up to work out Ed with little expectations and came away convinced that he is an N.F.L. prospect at the tight end position. He is very quick, has outstanding hands and great lower body strength.

I am a little disappointed in the process. It's not as tight of a process as I am comfortable with.

I am happy for Antonio. He came out and played great today, one of the best games I have ever seen by a tight end,

I am really pleased with the season this year. I feel I have established better credit to my name and feel I am more consistent. My hamstring was a little bit tight about 20 meters to the finishing line, but it was a good race, I think my performance was good, the competition was great.

I am streaky, and I like the streak that I'm on right now, ... It can be kind of fun when it's tight like this. A lot of guys jumped back into contention.

Cash flow is resilient, and has been some years. There's scope for operators to reduce shareholder returns if they need to, although we don't think they will do that. It's not like 2001 when credit measures were so tight it could only mean distressed asset sales and rights issues. It's not like that now.

Carol had a nice vault. It was solid and she stuck both landings. It was a nice tight vault.

Capital is tight at the end of the year.

Based on the tight points, Maria could have stolen the first set should she had a better control on the shuttlecocks.

Basically, the keyword in fishing is tight line,

Bart has been a little stiff the last couple of days. It started to knot up in the sixth and I said enough is enough. He's a little tight right now, but we don't think it will affect his next start.
