I think one of the most interesting trends for spring is military. We saw it for fall, but for spring it's being shown with a floaty dress and I think it's made designers very creative, like, how do I do military but lighten it and make it soft?
I - and I think many other observers - thought Ichiro would be the one to say no and Hideki would say yes. I think he's grateful to (George) Steinbrenner for the new contract and the confidence in him. He feels more of an obligation to Steinbrenner than he does to Japan. It's not about the money, it's about the vote of confidence. I think he thought it would be rude to leave the team in spring training. If he hadn't just signed the contract, maybe he would have gone.
No matter what changes take place in the world, or in me, nothing ever seems to disturb the face of spring.
There is another sort of day which needs celebrating in song -- the day of days when spring at last holds up her face to be kissed, deliberate and unabashed. On that day no wind blows either in the hills or in the mind.
Children hold spring so tightly in their brown fists-just as grownups, who are less sure of it, hold it in their hearts.
The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for nature to follow. Now we just set the clocks an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase.
Being mentally tough is what the theme of the spring is going to be for us.
I feel like Pete Carroll fits me best. He knows how to handle me. He knows what to say. I came out for spring practice and saw what was happening during the spring, and it was like, that's who I want to play for.
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.
We went after the worst of the worst and told them, 'You will not commit crimes here any longer,'
We felt Brandon would have some opportunities in this game. He needed to take advantage of them and he did. He's been playing at a high level and he's been a tremendous spark in every football game we've played.
