dog zebras book
Being the owner of Dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the Dachshund and why he can't be trained and shouldn't be. I would rather train a striped zebra to balance an Indian club than induce a Dachshund to heed my slightest command. When I address Fred I never have to raise either my voice or my hopes. He even disobeys me when I instruct him in something he wants to do.
fashion online shop talking
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.
bigger last people played
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.
bounce market maybe point
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.
beat job missed team
We missed a lot of tackles, and to beat a team like that you have to do a better job of tackling.
commit crimes worst
We went after the worst of the worst and told them, 'You will not commit crimes here any longer,'
advantage felt football game high level needed playing spark tremendous
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.

We felt at the time of the initial offer that there was no way they'd be able to do it as cheaply as we do it ourselves, but out of fairness we went through the process and let them work the figures out,
against beat best choose effective expected obviously possible team test third
We expected McAlister to play against us, because he was so effective in the third Test against the Lions. They obviously have a plan. We must just choose the best possible team to beat the All Blacks.
barriers changed church cultural far ideas mission name names people raise raised reach
We changed the name because of the mission of our church to reach out to people who are un-churched, those who are far away from God. Sometimes denominational names can raise barriers for people. So many people here were not raised in the cultural South, and they have pretty stereotypical ideas about what Baptists are like.
ball hold improve increase learn minute playing soccer string style trying
We are trying to improve as individuals and as a team. We have had some 5-10 minute spurts where we have been playing well, but we have not been able to string them together. With our style of play, we want to hold on to the ball longer. We have been trying to increase our soccer knowledge, where we can learn what we need to do to make the adjustments on the field.
promise win
We're going to win -- I promise you.
best game good job kids matter people preparing pride scenario themselves thinking week whoever
We're going into this game thinking worst-case scenario that Christen doesn't play. We go into the week like every week preparing our kids the best we can for whoever is on the field. I'd like to think that we're not a one-man team. There are a lot of people out there who do think that Hilliard Davidson will go as Christen Haywood goes, but our kids have a lot of pride and they'll do a good job in preparing themselves no matter who's playing.
I've never scored a touchdown in my life.
