I see my life as a part of the earth, a patch of ground to be cultivated. This field I have chosen to call joy. What grows in the field will be some grasses called happiness, and some called anguish, sadness, and disappointment. They are not permanent. They grow, wither and die. But the field of my being remains joyful.
Even though the Swans have been there for over 20 years now and really built up a loyal following, AFL on television does not attract the sort of audiences we would like, ... We would just have got killed if we went in any earlier. We are putting it on at 10pm, which is not what I would call late, but we would get hammered if we put it on live.
The phone call inspired them to give a brilliant performance at the Battle of the Bands. It was just overwhelming.
Today we've probably taken between 70 and 80 calls from people who said 'I want to come and help',
It's not really a radio frequency product. It's what they call inductive coupling, so it's more a magnetic energy transfer to the tag.

I didn't think she was but that was an official's call to make. I'll have to look at the tape. I'm just not sure. But we never should have gone down a goal.
I'm excited that the team understands the importance of this game. Maybe this weekend was a wake up call for us.
We've been talking to some of Nordstrom's online users, who are very, very important customers, and they talk about how when they go online sometimes they shop and sometimes they look for fashion inspiration.
We just played bigger people the last two games. We're not going to play 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10 Thursday. I think we should be all right.
We were overdue for a bounce after some very oversold conditions. Maybe we are getting to a point where the market is beaten-up enough.
We missed a lot of tackles, and to beat a team like that you have to do a better job of tackling.
