Mark Brown Quotations

We have quite a number of Mexican residents in the area and many of the children are of Hispanic descent.

The real estate market may fall further. Buyers remain reluctant to buy, while sellers remain anxious to avoid crystallizing their large paper losses.

When I drive over the hill on my way home from work I can look out over my marina and the whole ocean. I know that in five minutes I'm going to be in my shorts and T-shirt on the back of my boat enjoying a scotch on the rocks. I feel like I'm on vacation every day,

The only game where we really haven't performed was the Motherwell match. In the second half particularly, Motherwell ran right over the top of us. So while, on paper, it looks as though the home form has been poor, if you actually analyse each individual game it's not been that bad and we've also not had the breaks in certain games.

If we can finance the parking garage, we can have greater density of development.

I didn't really have any hesitation about joining Inverness. People here had spoken to me and I came up to look around and saw them training and playing and I was very impressed with what I saw. They're a great bunch of lads, and it was great to win the First Division with them.

I didn't actually see his comments. We made it difficult for Celtic. We put up a good performance and we could have got something out of the game but Celtic were just a bit ahead of us and created more chances than we did. But it does show how far we have come as a team that we can go to a place like Celtic Park and make it so difficult for them.

I am hoping for a big year out of Cory. He had a great year last year and has worked hard to improve.

I feel decent. I feel that I went in and there wasn't a let-up when I went in, ... I feel good about it. I feel comfortable.

I estimate it costs me $15,000 a year for everything,

Kills the spread. Eats all our ice cream.

I think we?re pretty confident in our abilities.

I think it was the second year of Relay that Dawn and her entire family got involved. And when Dawn got involved, she really got involved,

It is one of the saddest moments of my life. Now, another great African-American leader is gone.

Our home form is not as bad as it is made out,

Part of the reason that I watch hockey is to have a physical game, ... Maybe initially they'll fear a penalty, but sometimes it's worth it to get a good lick in.

Someone must sell at the nadir of the cycle, and it might as well be the government. However, government agencies responsible for resolving the financial crisis are not forcing banks to act, with the result that banks are mainly reserving against bad loans and not disposing of the underlying collateral.

It definitely helps being in the system and knowing the other linebackers. It makes it a little bit easier to learn a different position because you're trying to piece together what you're supposed to do with your assignments.

The 3 a.m. walk to the bathroom when it's raining is really a drag, especially in the winter months, ... Plus, your friends think you're weird, but that's what makes it unique.

The $6 million rehabilitation project on the Simon Kenton Bridge was completed in August, 2004. Near completion of the project, additional deterioration was observed. It was more cost effective to advertise and let a new contract than to negotiate and modify the existing contract.

You just can't replace someone like that. She was the heart and soul of Relay, ... Oh, I believe this Relay committee will work hard and that someone will take the reigns and move this organization forward, but there will never be another like Dawn.

We have a group of girls here at Limon that just doesn't know how to lose.

We have been working for 10 years to get new tools for infrastructure development.

We didn't even know we were out there for 48 plays. It didn't feel like anything drastic.

You don't really think about having a long run in the team. You really can only try and keep your place in the side and keep performing week in and week out, because obviously there are people on the sidelines who are waiting to get a game in your place so you just want to do your best and stay playing.

We definitely have playmakers. We just have to go out there and make plays.

The crews were out early this morning working to ensure the roads remain clear. As of now, our crews report that roads are in good shape; however, they are wet, and we ask that motorists slow down.

The progress of the bridge is coming along very well. When you have to deal with the winter weather, it's difficult.

Training alone is not going to be the answer anyway, as some of it just takes hands-on experience. Gaining core knowledge from a book or classroom experience is good, but learning by actually getting your hands on the equipment and using it is worth its weight in gold.

We were driving along in the car ... and you could see the dangerous looking clouds, the dark clouds.

We just need to keep playing like we have been playing and not take anybody for granted. We have to play four quarters of basketball. We can't have any type of letdown.

Very real short-term investment opportunities are right around the corner. We think this legislation can make that happen in our state and in Clark County.

We could see what we thought was the tornado.

At this point, the project doesn't pencil out without state participation. State participation would help make something happen sooner and larger. It would help us get to critical mass.

Elliott County is pretty remote. There's not the heavy volume of traffic drivers have to face in New York. Here, it's the distance.

The tape is not direct evidence, but is indeed, unreliable hearsay, which violates the defendant's Sixth Amendment rights. The defendant cannot cross-examine a videotape.

Right now we are trying to get a letter sent to the Postal Service to ask them if it would be possible, and what would be involved in switching the north end of town to the same ZIP code that is used in the south end, ... Because the Postal Service is a federal agency we might get a better response if the request came from the congressman's office.

A family driving 1,000 miles should be prepared to spend an additional $25 over and above last year's fuel prices to make the trip. That's hardly enough to cancel that long-sought vacation.

This bill has the potential to bring a billion dollars in new capital investments into Clark County. It's the result of a unified delegation putting together a full-court press.

This is the most inexperienced teams I have had. Katie has been running well so far, and Ashli is a real solid runner. As the others gain experience I think we could be a decent team.

It was definitely the most scared I've ever been in my life. I know how close we came to being severely injured, or killed.

It's the result of a unified delegation putting together a full-court press.

It's a long process to get that wood ready for the installation.

It?s gone as good as we could hope for. It?s challenging ? coaches always seem to be yelling a lot. It can be stressful, but this year?s been very rewarding.

Dawn Cannady would want us to laugh, she'd want us to fight and she'd want us to work together to keep fighting for a cure.

It's an aging population in Rhode Island. We're maintaining the middle-aged population, but we're losing some of our elderly to warmer climates, and some of our post-college younger people are looking for greener pastures.

It was a heck of a throw and a heck of a catch, more so the throw by Brady. I don't know how he got the ball in there because we had Faulk covered. I saw found out firsthand why he's a Super Bowl M.V.P.

On behalf of the city, things look pretty good.

I liken it to those who have retired and are traveling the country in their recreational vehicles.

I'm kind of at a loss for words about how I feel. If Councilman Koester thinks I come across as a jerk, I think I owe an explanation that I work in a loud environment (printing shop), and I have to raise my voice. It's not my intention (to be loud and abrasive). That's not to say I haven't gotten frustrated up here.

I had some one just ask me if the fourth one was better than any of the others and they all are great. There's nothing like winning state.

I don't know if that result will give us an advantage or not. You can look at it two ways. They might be on a downer and maybe the long journey back home will have affected them and they could be a wee bit less focused than they normally would be for the game. But they could just as easily be fired up - after a heavy defeat you often want to get back to winning as soon as possible.

But you know, Dawn would say this was just another reason for us to fight harder ... She wouldn't have us sitting around crying and feeling bad. In fact, I think she would be mad if we did,

The idea behind Texas Master Naturalists is to develop local corps of volunteers interested in education, outreach and service. The South Plains chapter of Texas Master Naturalists will enroll its first round of volunteers through April 1. Training for these volunteers is set to begin in late April.
