Dave Smith Quotations

We're getting her the ball much better than we did at the beginning of the year. We're doing a better job at getting her the ball in positions where she is more able to score. Kate is a very strong low-post player. She's six-foot and solid.

When I came through yesterday, a couple cowboys came in with spurs. How often do you see that?

The only game we've got is the one in front of us. We've really come together and gelled. Everyone knows their role. There are no egos -- we just play. We have a lot of talent.

Losses due to this virus will continue until effective actions are taken within cattle operations to prevent further transmission.

Scott's preparations have gone perfect. We respect Elcock and realise this guy is, outside of Eastman, the best boxer Scott will have fought.

She's very fluid in the way she plays. She's very skilled, she sees the field extremely well. She plays with a lot of composure.

Sir, our Iraqi partners have been conducting battalion and Brigade-size operations since April. They have been planning and coordinating with other Iraqi security forces, such as the Iraqi police and local government agencies, preparing for this referendum. Sir, we as coalition forces, we have taken a supporting role only as they prepare to execute this referendum.

Most teams do that to us, but our girls do a good job getting position. We can get the ball in there and we made enough outside shots.

Odell is a poster boy for what our business is all about.

I'm a lifetime resident of this area. I just knew it was badly needed.

I feel more optimistic at this time than I did 12 months ago, but we've still got a lot of work to do.

I get lots of support from my wife (Wanda).

I think it's unquestionable that we have wolves here. I found tracks this summer that were confirmed.

It has a slip and it's accessible -- that's what influenced us to buy where we are.

I think the second quarter cost us the game. They did the old cherry-picker on us. It was there, in the second quarter they beat us by eight points and they ended up winning by one.

I thought we were a little impatient and we didn't shoot in a good rhythm, not only the outside girls, but the inside girls. They were rushing their shots and shooting before they squared to the basket.

Rob was the kind of friend that defined loyalty, commitment and the essence of joy. He was willing to do whatever it took to help a friend or family member.

Just about every old tree in town is down. The town just will never look the same in our lifetime. It breaks my heart. I'm so disgusted. Just about every ancient pecan and a lot of the oaks are gone.

The animals ... that's why we're here. We come down here three or four times a year. We've been bringing Megan since she was a baby.

I was pretty much blown away by the enthusiasm and the passion I saw coming from the administrators, the staff and the teachers.

We are thrilled to partner with TANK and happy to provide this service to their current and future customers.

We played some really good football in the first half. For the last 20 minutes, it was like the siege of the Alamo, but we defended really well.

We have two real strong players at No. 1 doubles. John Coleman is a freshman who is certainly a force. He's a powerful player. He has a serve over 100 miles an hour. I think they're going to be a good team.

We don't have that worked out yet. It may not be equal, but it will be whatever the bases can handle appropriately, and then they'll get the manpower they need to fulfill their mission.

We only sell beer when there are scheduled games and events. The city has one police officer on duty at the park during the entire time, and there have not been many problems in recent years.

We put the ball in play well today.

We would only play about eight or nine games a year. We barely had enough players to field a team.

We've built a strong following over the years, making 12 straight bowl games. And we've always traveled well here we brought a lot of people to the Sugar Bowl both the other times we were here.

Both sides worked hard for several years to find a solution that would improve the environment. We think this is a reasonable compromise for all sides.

Both teams were patient on offense but I thought we played good defense. We had trouble with the press in the second half and that magnified things.

Tomatoes are really popular with our customers. We offer three or four varieties, several different sizes.

We all have a tremendous amount of respect for her because we all know her. We're all pretty good friends with Felicia. She's a good kid.

We got a really unselfish performance from Alix Hughes. Sarah Moore played huge in the middle. She looked like a college player. Lindsey Wilkerson played huge for us at forward and on defense. We spotted the other team a goal early, and we had to rally the troops. It was a team effort. We also got some contributions from our younger players off the bench.

We tried to work for high percentage shots, we need to. Horton wasn't going to give us any easy baskets. They dictated the pace of the game pretty good.

We searched for global PR agency that could deliver our message in markets around the world. We chose Text 100 because of its knowledge in the advanced technology market, relationships with the editorial and analyst communities, proven track record managing and executing global PR programs, and its strategic capabilities.

To be honest, Dr. Bull's presence just helps me feel more optimistic about our school system. He has brought a new energy to the community and certainly to the staff and teachers.

Brett has been at (golf) for about three years and this is the first year for Brady. They like golf and they're pretty good at their age.

Every year, regardless of whether the timber industry is struggling or the fishing industry is struggling, one stable factor has always been this game. Economy-wise, we've been through more than our share of tough stretches, but this has always been something for the towns to rally around when times haven't been good.

There's no doubt we're going to get a lot of interest. Clearly, a lot of people are going to be paying attention to what we do.

The windows (on Main Street, U.S.A.) were Walt's way to subtly recognize the people that had helped make Disneyland a reality. The way he accomplished this was by placing the name of the person or people on a themed, designated window.

It was a lot harder than that. That was a tough ball game. Some of our kids stepped up and hit some big free throws at the end.

The steps we took this past year strengthened our financial position. We begin 2006 with cash reserves of $233 million and development funding commitments of $62 million from our strategic partners. We expect 2006 revenues to improve to between $55 and $65 million and, with the sale of BPSAG and the cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2005, we expect our operating cash consumption to decline from $83 million in 2005 to between $50 and $65 million in 2006.

That's what we're hoping for. That would be great for these girls. If we continue to play our game, we'll do fine.

There's an assumption people make that low scoring requires small ball. If you know it's going to be 2-1 in the ninth way back in the second inning, that's great, but you don't. The home run is still the one thing that has unquestioned value. People are going to keep going for the fences.

It's just sheer luck. That's what surveys are about.

It's a stretch. She has the name-face recognition but her major appeals are comfort, lightness, a real sense of personality, which are not necessarily the kinds of qualities that translate into evening and breaking news.

It's a nice site. And we're going to see if we can work something out.

It's a lighter weight and very maneuverable. You can turn tighter, get into parking areas better and get closer to buildings.

It's possible to consolidate school boards and custodial positions.

They are just smart animals. They're hard to trick. I would rather hunt coyotes than anything else. I like the challenge of it.

They look like they've been there for quite a while. I first thought that they were some sort of urban art project.

Their pitcher had trouble finding the plate and we had timely hits there.

I like the defense a lot. We were having trouble with their zone. They were patient on offense. It was just the kind of game that it was.

I'm pleased to see that. We had a bad game against a very good team. We learned a lesson. But if we get the chance to play them again, we know we can compete.

I'm very proud of them. I think I had to adjust to them and they had to adjust to me. This is no where near the same team we had at the beginning of the season.

If we've just got a couple of wolves running without an established territory, they could be here one month and in northern Leelanau County the next. There's nothing to confine them, especially without more wolves.

I do want to credit the girls for playing great defense. Our achilles heel was not being able to handle the press at the end of the game and not getting the ball handling we needed to get.

All year we've focused on rebounding. We try to really hit the boards, defend, take care of the ball and make our free throws. Every time we've done those four things, we've been pretty successful.

The garden has been set out to the original layout.

All the movies nominated for best picture deserve to be there. This year, they were especially good. More thought went into these movies. None are blockbusters; they weren't money-driven. It was good that independents won. It was just a nice change.

The kids worked hard to bounce back after their initial shock and disappointment.

The last four weeks, it's been so much different. There seems to be more passion for the game on the girls' part. They've always worked hard in practice, but they seem to understand what we're trying to do. That makes me feel good for them.
