Dropped Quotations | Page 6

The weight of the wheel and water deteriorated the axle. It dropped about three inches and just starting chucking wooden teeth out of some smaller gears. Those teeth are specially made out of very, very hard maple wood, so you can imagine the stress.

The whole day it was kind of an unusual scheme for us. They dropped eight and rushed three. You see that some in 2-minute or third-and-20 but to do it as often as they did on first down, you don't see that very often.

This dropped to 95 percent with a seven-year ownership term and to 92 percent with a five-year ownership term -- still a pretty impressive rate. Home ownership clearly can be an important strategy for building wealth over the long term.

They were excited the whole week. They were excited to swim fast. They were happy that we had a good meet. We dropped a lot of times. I was really pleased with our youngsters that stepped it up and really dropped a lot time.

This is a big lie. They dropped bombs from planes, and we were in no position to stop them. To tell them we are innocent.

They've got 20 starters coming back and are going to be real good. They had tentatively scheduled Brenham, but Brenham dropped them. We had talked earlier and said if we couldn't find a game, we'd play them because it's been a good series between us.

A lot of the point mags are going out of business. They dropped the pay tremendously and it's all because of the internet. I used to go out once a month to LA and shoot for one week. I'd make a ton of money then come back to New York and do whatever I wanted.

Also, we began the fall and winter season with a higher water elevation in the reservoir than usual. Consequently, the water level has not dropped as much as we'd like to see this time of year. So, we are bumping up releases slightly to keep the water level down.

They make electronic components for the original equipment manufacturers. In February, they bought the Motorola ( MOT ) division that makes parts for wireless cell phones. Well, it came down a little bit..made a new high, dropped a little bit, and is now on the way back up. They have the potential strong earnings growth.

They played very well (but) we missed a couple of chances, and dropped Clarke,

They must have forgot about me. I was running the point, then I dropped back because Brandon wanted to run the point. I was wide-open right there.

They have clearly regained the profits from the refining segment which had dropped in the third quarter.

They got on a run, they dropped in a 3, momentum shifted their way, and we didn't respond. That high-low killed us. It's the best high-low we've seen this year.

They got a nice attitude. They dropped by the other day and gave me a cigarette lighter.

They had us mentally before we ever started. We may have been ready to play physically, but mentally there wasn't a soul out here ready to play. That's what killed us in the first inning. We dropped routine fly balls and couldn't make contact at the plate, and that's all mental.

They dropped three of us off and said, 'Make us a prison,'

They dropped the charges in four different areas. Three charges were dropped above Shed 8. That brought down a Class 3 avalanche that ran to the top of the shed, with a small amount crossing over.

They dropped from 1:41 to 1:37 - that's a pretty decent drop. So they're doing pretty well.

They dropped a bombshell on us. There's less UASI money to be spread around the country, more competition and San Francisco has been consolidated with other areas for funding.

They had an inning where they scored five runs and we dropped four outs. It's all a ripple effect. Unfortunately, we make a mistake, and then we make another one instead of stopping the bleeding.

They discovered that inventory levels had dropped precipitously for the second month in a row. That meant we were working out of this excess inventory and they liked that enough.

They did well. It was at a different site this year so that took a little getting used to. I thought they did the best they could. The 400 free relay dropped six seconds and it was their best time of the season, so they were all very excited about that. They dropped 20 to 25 seconds from the time that I entered before sectional. I was very pleased.

They did tell us they wanted more, but much as we want to pay more we are capital-hungry. But we agreed that it had dropped behind and brought it up (in 2005) and made a further promise for 2006.

They feel that pressure, any kid does. I don't think that any of my guys will back down from that. So far the ball just hasn't dropped for us.

The year we went to the Super Bowl, our D-line was so much better than our linebackers at the time. Our linebackers were so much better than our secondary. It's like, the farther you went back, it sort of like dropped off. But now it's strong all the way through.

There was some pretty tough competition for only seven teams being there and it was a pretty challenging course. Cameron ran well but the rest dropped off.

There were some brief conversations with city officials, and we all dropped the ball.

This match is our worst. It wasn't until we dropped the second goal in the net that we started playing better.

They're a good team and you can't make mistakes against them, whether it's dropped passes or interceptions before the half or penalties that hurt us.

At half time I knew we were up, but I had no idea how far we dropped before floor. It was huge. We had a pep talk; it was their first challenge of the season so they got pumped up more.

At a time when the Nation was at its lowest point, this generation dropped their individual pursuits to form the most potent military and powerful civilian engine the world has ever known. American, fighting and working together, as well as with our allies around the world, overcame the tremendous dangers of that time. We freed the world from the shackle of totalitarianism and made freedom ring.

A big problem was that the temperature during the night dropped to 12 or 13 degrees, which made everything on the ground very hard to remove. We made it as good as possible. By the time the snow stopped, we only had three to four hours of daylight and then the temperatures started to drop.

The more the second half wore on, the more we decided to consolidate what we had. That doesn't mean we dropped back, but when we got possession, we limited some of what we tried to do. Grow was in goal. He came out and cleared some things with a punch and a catch in the second half and their was one scramble in the goal mouth, but the boys absorbed whatever came their way. Penn State was frustrated all day.

It's just awfully tough to run against our defense. We threw the ball OK and were hurt by a few dropped passes. Overall, we got done what we needed to accomplish.

It's far from over and people are still in dire straits in a lot of the Gulf Coast communities. It may have dropped from our consciousness somewhat, but from talking to people in New Iberia, they are still desperate. Some still don't have running water.

It's fantastic for me and great to get this award on the day we win the Ashes, but respect to every player from both sides. I dropped six catches this summer so maybe it's not a bad thing I got lucky a couple of times today. That is the best innings I will ever play.

It seems that violence and killings has dropped significantly in the last few days, and although we want to remain cautious, we still have noticed a trend downward and certainly we have noticed less tension in the surrounding districts.

It's as frustrating to me as it is anyone on offense, any time you're not getting it done. Dropped balls, we had a few of those. Poor throws, we had those. We threw too many interceptions. There were just a lot of things. It was not any one thing that got us beat.

It's a shame we dropped so many points at the start of the season. At least we're making them up now.

It was back and forth. I know at one point he was up 5-4 and then he was up 6-5. Then he lost a couple games, dropped down to 6-7 and then had to battle back. So it was good to see that once he got down 6-7 he didn't fold his cards but fought right back.

It was definitely a good performance. We've dropped some tough games and needed a win to solidify a little morale.

It was a lot more real than I had thought. We were just dropped into the Guatemalan jungle with no food or water. You do forget about the cameras once you're out there, and it becomes a game where there are 17 others out there with you.

It was embarrassing to him - the fact that he got sloppy and dropped it.

It was down and in. He just dropped the head on it.

It was down and in and he just dropped the head on it.

It was the most realistic compromise at that stage. Both dropped their claims and reached a peaceful compromise.

It was the kind of summer where everything went out big, dropped and went away. You didn't have a lot of sleepers with big legs --as they say long legs -- in the business.

It was as frustrating for me as for anyone on offense. Anytime you're not getting it done -- dropped balls, poor throws. There were a lot of things, not just one thing that got us beat today.

It was a strange match with lots of ups and downs from both of us. I started off really well, but from 3-all in the second set, I missed a few and she stepped it up. I got off to a good start at the beginning of the third, and I think that settled the matter. Her level dropped again and I was able to take advantage.

Its a complicated accident; thats why there are so many charges, ... Maybe one of these may be dropped by the prosecutors office because many are similar in nature.

It is outrageous that the company has never discussed alternatives with the union and simply dropped a bomb on the whole city. It is a mean-spirited terrible way to treat workers, their families and the whole community.

It's a great feeling, probably as good a feeling as I've ever had. It's just beautiful. These guys have been working their tails off. They dropped a lot of sweat and a lot of hours and they deserve the moment.

I treated this as a public health emergency, ... A drug that had an 8-to-1 vote in favor of approval and that could any day be approved by the FDA to be used by any of 18 million Americans with type 2 diabetes was, by my analysis, doubling of risk of serious irrevocable cardiovascular events like death, heart attacks and stroke. I dropped everything.

I trust my makeup artist to apply dark lipstick, but I get nervous about reapplying it, so I'll just use gloss instead. The last time I tried to reapply dark lipstick, I dropped it on my dress and it left a spot.

It puts us in the poor house. I'm still optimistic that we can come out with something along the lines of last year's situation, but frankly National Marine Fishery Service has really dropped the ball on this.

It's unbelievable. All these big oak trees are just uprooted, everything is brown and the waterline is up to 7 feet on the house. It's like somebody dropped a nuclear weapon and just killed everything. There's not any sign of life. There's no greenery. It's bizarre. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Foreign buyers started considering Argentina when we devalued our currency and property values dropped 40 percent. Those values have only just recovered to 1997 levels, and with airfare from Miami only $700 round-trip, we are drawing in a lot of Florida investors.

The number of displaced Katrina pets being brought in to our rescue center has dropped from up to 40 a day in late December to as few as five a day now, so we will be able to end trapping efforts within a week. And even though large areas are still devastated, the people of New Orleans are reclaiming their city more and more each day.

It's not the kind of football I like to see from our team. We'll work hard to try to get it fixed. There is no excuse for it. We dropped balls, we didn't execute, we didn't play with the kind of urgency and intensity that good teams play with. Everybody needs to decide what kind of team we're going to have.

It stems from Old Trafford being beside a railway and a canal. Food is dropped and the mice get in under the gates.

It's like an atomic bomb was dropped there, ... All that's there is rubble.

It's always disappointing to lose but we got the first game under our belt for a lot of new guys. The ball bounces a funny way sometimes. The offense dropped some balls, but the team never quit. Now we'll watch film and get ready for Orlando.

It looks insurmountable but I think we have a great team. I can't say that there's been any issue we've dropped because we've been understaffed.

It's going to be hard. Because all I know is that one time, two true freshmen are in there and one guy made a mistake on the first play, and then on the second play the other guy dropped a pass. They're true freshman. They've just got to get in there and play.

It's hard to spin this as anything other than another problem dropped on the pile of troubles our side faces now. Bad news tends to come in bunches, and we've had a bunch lately.

It's hard to get rebounds when they make all their shots. We actually did a good job of blocking out, but everything dropped through the net.

It's probably 50/50 that we host. The 15th and 16th teams are up in the air right now. Oklahoma State is 15th, but really has no wins over top-20 teams. If (the committee) goes on quality wins, then we'll pass them. Florida is 16th, but they lost their No. 1 player and you don't know if they'll get penalized for that. Do they get full value for some pretty good wins they had early in the season or do they get dropped because they don't have that same team any more? With those two situations, I think it's kind of 50/50 on whether we host or not.

It's unfortunate that it happened. Everyone is open to get that done. There's a lot of people who dropped the ball.

Darius just unexpectedly dropped in out of heaven.

Dancing was one of the hobbies my brother and I had when we were kids, and dance ended up being the one that stuck. I dropped everything else until that was what was left in the end.

The big news is the fact that AOL has dropped out of the top 10 holdings in so many funds.

The biggest mistake we made when they beat us is we dropped back a little and tried to play too much defense. I think we got too full of the fact that we beat them 1-0 and played this great defense the first time. And we played too defensive.

The age of the audience has dropped 10-15 years, maybe more. All of the audiences through Spain, Italy through Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia are like 15-16 through 25. It's like 1972 again.

That is pretty amazing. Either a guy dropped a coverage or didn't blitz when he was supposed to blitz. Each guy looks at himself when that happens.

That is part of the problem. They say that they have dropped the name but they haven't really ? they continue to use it in the UK.

Take away three big plays and it's a very close ball game. The two big pass plays and the dropped punt changed things. But I'm happy with the progress we made and the heart we showed. I'm extremely happy with that.

Sunnis have concerns about a few issues, one of which is the modality of federalism. They have dropped their opposition to the principle of federalism,

Sunday nights are good times to call strikes. There's freight that has come into the terminal dropped off Friday or Saturday waiting to be loaded onto the trucks. Once the road drivers come in and drive it out, they can be on the road for the week, and the company can move those drivers around the system and avoid closed terminals.

It's clear that wireless providers have made great strides in improving the quality of calls, especially in those areas that impact customer churn the most, such as calls that are dropped or disconnected. With an increasingly competitive environment and an increase in the number of services used in conjunction with a cell phone, carriers that offer superior network quality will improve their likelihood of attracting new customers and will increase customer retention. In fact, improving network quality is a beneficial financial incentive for wireless carriers, as customers experiencing at least one call quality problem are three times more likely to indicate they 'definitely will' switch carriers in the future.

It's hard to comment on him. I'll have to go back and look at the tape. It looked like he was getting a drive going and then two people would move. We dropped a couple balls on him, too.

It's great that Netball Australia dropped its objection to the AWU changing their rules to represent us,

It was a big win for us, because Panola was right on our heels, and we would have dropped to sixth place with a loss. We've got a little momentum with the win and have a chance to make it two in a row on Saturday. Third place is still a good possibility for us.
