You would think that after so many children have been shot running around the streets with real guns, that they wouldn't make things like this anymore,
Progress is running far behind Iraqi expectations in virtually every area. In their view, most Iraqis are not seeing 'amazing progress.' All too many of them live in constant danger, with less electricity in many areas than under Saddam Hussein.
She's a good captain. When you are that good (at running), you get that kind of respect right off the bat. She's a good person - a nice young lady. She's easy to approach, but when you run like she does, she automatically gets respect.
She inspired me to start running and getting back into shape. She knew that it was hard for me to get to the gym, so she gave me advice and help.
Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.
A man's liberal and conservative phases seem to follow each other in a succession of waves from the time he is born. Children are radicals. Youths are conservatives, with a dash of criminal negligence. Men in their prime are liberals (as long as their digestion keeps pace with their intellect). The middle aged run to shelter: they insure their life, draft a will, accumulate mementos and occasional tables, and hope for security. And then comes old age, which repeats childhood - a time full of humors and sadness, but often full of courage and even prophecy.
The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.
The Supreme Court said nothing about silliness, but I suspect it may play more of a role than one might suppose. People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust... Probably the first slave ship, with Negroes lying in chains on its decks, seemed commonsensical to the owners who operated it and to the planters who patronized it. But such a vessel would not be in the realm of common sense today. The only sense that is common, in the long run, is the sense of change.
We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.
It sometimes takes days, even weeks, before a dog's nerves tire. In the case of terriers it can run into months.
The so-called science of poll-taking is not a science at all but mere necromancy. People are unpredictable by nature, and although you can take a nation's pulse, you can't be sure that the nation hasn't just run up a flight of stairs.
It's only a matter of time. He'll have plenty of 40-plus yards runs on the record by the end of the year. I know he's anxious to get some, and he will. It's a function of persistence, holding to the integrity of the landmarks, trusting your speed, and maybe somebody holding a block downfield for a split second longer. It will happen.
In the quick-serve restaurant industry, our success rests on our ability to motivate our staff, streamline our operations and empower our employees. The applications that run on our Cisco IP phones are helping us maintain our unique sense of culture and improve our communication capabilities. I never imagined a phone would have such an impact on my business.
If there was a federal election I was going to consider running for mayor because a lot of people were asking me. I said if there was an election prior to November I would likely do that. I would seriously consider it at that point,
