Lake Quotations | Page 2

I go back to my Indiana days and Lake Wales when we became good. The better teams you play, the better you will be.

If the density of naturally spawned bass is more than 25 percent below average, the lake receives the higher stocking rate.

I always knew, even in Salt Lake that I could skate with the best. When I started the race I was focused today. I did not hear the fans.

He may or may not have viewed himself as a fine artist, but he did photos for himself as well as commercial photos. We have several samples of his Pyramid Lake photos that he did for himself. He viewed his commercial work as sales items to make money and saw his landscapes as more artistic.

What is benefitted properties of the lake? Is it just those that are adjacent to the lake or, as in Rice Lake, is it the Lake District, the entire city and properties on the west side of Rice Lake? ... Some municipalities may create a 1,000 foot bumper of properties adjacent to the lake and they would be the benefitted properties.

What I like about the Lake Worth program is they are studying life before the Holocaust.

We've given them a resolution, ... The only way I can understand it is that they are saying to Spirit Lake 'are you sure you want to do that?'

We've given Lake Helen lots of trees. Also, using our new model, we were able to help them buy lots of trees we could never have grown.

Today I found my game a lot better, started hitting the ball well and made a few putts. The first two days I hit it so bad. I hit it right into the middle of the lake a couple of times.

To everyone at Sierra-at-Tahoe, thank you for helping me live my dream. Thank you, Lake Tahoe, for your support. And, most of all, thank you, God, for giving me the talent and opportunity to represent Lake Tahoe and the U.S.A.

Here, at the top of Lake Joseph, it's called Billionaires Row.

Having this service to Salt Lake City will open a new world of visitor and meeting markets for us, not only in Utah but for all the connecting cities Delta serves. In the past we focused largely north and south for visitors. Now we can look to the east.

Here's what finally wrong: A local dive club in Omaha, Nebraska, goes to a local lake and does a fund-raiser and proudly presents DAN with a check for three hundred dollars and twenty-six cents. Sure this impacts the mission, because that's money you could've spent on other things.

He's a junior. ... Last week he had a tough first half against White Bear Lake with a fumble, then played better and picked it right up again tonight. ... He's battle-tested now.

He's already done some positive things that are going to help put him in a positive light again. He wants to be involved in the community in Salt Lake City.

He's a very good pilot. If he's saying it was a wave from another tour boat that caused it, that's what happened. He knows the lake. He's been on the lake for years. ... It was something beyond his control, believe me.

Historically it's a seasonal marsh. We will have to evaluate the property and see what can and cannot be done to restore the marshland or responsibly keep the lake intact.

He was retired, and he loved the lake. He had sold his boat, so he figured this was a way to be out on the lake and enjoying it.

He used to drive a boat around the lake and pull us behind on inner tubes. He also read campers' mail, from mom and dad and from grandparents. And if someone's mom baked cookies, he would make the camper get up on a chair and jump up and down for them, without telling him why. All of this happened at lunch, in front of everybody.

He conveys the poetry, the natural rhythms, of his characters' speech. Everything - emotion, movement, thought, intention - is inherent in that rhythm. Actors sometimes like to dissect, to analyze, to do all those things actors are taught to do. But those things don't put me closer to this work's heart. I have to surrender all that. It's like going to a lake or a swimming pool. You just have to dive in, to immerse yourself. Working in his plays requires a different kind of skill. It's as if you would become a talking drum.

Groundwater analysis indicates the headwater streams located above the lake supply good coldwater inputs that are capable of supporting brook trout.

We are going to Salt Lake City to cut down the nets.

There are so many kids that I admire and have had the privilege of coaching. There have been such great parents and it has been an outstanding experience for me. The kids have all been respectful, good sports and the parents are very supportive. I have been very fortunate to have the experience of coaching at Lake Central.

I was just at a loss for what I would be able to do. Tony, my husband, likes to fish and even competes in bass tournaments. Turning the lake into a pay lake seemed like something I could do, even with blurred and double vision.

I was in same situation last April at Clarks Hill. I was winning by 10 pounds on Saturday and had already won a boat. Then, instead of doing what the odds said to do, I went back and tried to catch another big fish and bombed out and lost the tournament. We tried very hard not to make the same mistake at Lake Murray.

Kirilenko must have thought he was in Salt Lake City tonight. A couple of times he made tough shots.

It adds a lot more confidence going into a tournament like that. I have spent a lot of time on that lake and I know the body of water.

I talked to pros like Shaw Grigsby and Roland Martin after John won that year, and they all agreed that it probably was the first time a guy who fished in his first pro tournament ever won over $100,000 at it. I wasn't surprised John won at Mead, though, because he always fishes well there. We always say it's tougher to fish in San Diego tournaments because you end up fishing the clock, people and in such a small area of fish that we're lucky to get our spots. At Mead, unless someone is following you, you get big parts of the lake to yourself.

I think it means that everybody is even. I don't think there was a clear favorite when we started and you can see that now. No one is a clear-cut favorite and no one's really out of it, yet. The last two years you weren't able to win the Lake Region with a loss. This year I don't necessarily think that will be true.

It certainly didn't look like there was any mass movement out of Houston to Lake Charles to vote.

It can get a bit nerve-racking for a 17- or 18-year-old kid. So with here that was probably the biggest hurdle to get over. You come across Lake Michigan and it seems like you're in California. But I think she was comfortable here from the beginning.

It amazes me. I always thought of Salt Lake as a sleepy, conservative, buttoned-up place.

I think the deterrent effect and the message has been sent since Salt Lake City. The athletes know that the noose is tightening. They will probably, I hope so, be more careful and wiser. But you can't guarantee that.

Lake Tahoe is the key to our water supply, and what has happened there this past month is nothing short of awesome.

Lake Stevens came out tonight and played mistake-free basketball. We committed too many turnovers and missed a lot of shots that we have been making in the past.

Lake Region played a great game. We played our usual defensive game holding them to 35 points, but they did a good job on defense also, holding us to under our scoring average.

Lake Placid clogged the middle and they were always around the puck. They played pretty well and battled all game.

Lake Park just beat us tonight. They've got a lot of weapons and they're playing really well right now.

Lake Oswego is a very deep and talented team that includes some of the best high school swimmers in the state.

Lake Oswego is a good, physical team. They're sort of like Pendleton in that respect.

Lake is a good ball club. They just weren't at their best tonight.

Lake Howell's philosophy is if you go up and down with them, they're going to find a way to score 80 points. As we evaluated with what we do well, doing that we probably couldn't find a way to score 81.

Lake Hopatcong was the place to be back then. It was a place to get meals and a room by the day or the week.

Lake City probably has the best arms in the state. They've got the most draft picks and the most prospects; they've got eight guys who can throw up into the 90s, so it's going to be a real challenge for us.

Lake City is not the cause of all your problems with sewage cost. You cannot build a plant for what you're paying Lake City. The four of you are responsible.

Lake Champlain is the most under-marketed gem of a resource. First and foremost I want to use this as an opportunity to promote the history, culture and recreation of Lake Champlain.

L.A. is great, but it's a completely different beast. I go back to Minnesota, and I borrow a bike from my neighbor and go around Lake Harriet saying 'Hi' to people. Some of that is missing in L.A.

I thought we played very well given the challenge presented to us, especially in the second half. It was a real learning experience for all of our players. I have to thank Real Salt Lake for giving us the opportunity.

I think we're going to again surprise the world with how the U.S. does. They view our performance in Salt Lake as an aberration. I think our athletes and our national governing bodies, both individually and collectively, are out to prove that their performance wasn't an aberration that we are collectively a winter sports power in the world.

I think we were too juiced. But our attitude was great and we knew Lake Forest would not quit, even after we had built the kind of lead we had.

I think a lot of it has to do with concentration. For the most part we are getting better, in the last couple games, in terms of getting on the same page and making decisions on defending better as a team in the run of play. The goal we gave up last week against Salt Lake was a set piece goal. We gave up a few of those in the last couple of games. We have to challenge headers and we are clearing out balls that fall to the ground or fall to our feet.

I think it's pretty pathetic that no one showed up, and that Italy couldn't really put on an event that like maybe Salt Lake City did. But that's not why we are here to race.

I think we are all in a better place than we were four years ago in Salt Lake City. That is half the battle. We've never medaled before, and I hope we do, but I'm not going to go crazy if we don't. The biggest goal is to be in there and fight, and that will be the fun part, anyway.

I think some basic lessons are just the perfect way to start. The advantage of having lessons at Diamond Lake is that it's very gentle terrain.

Laurie and I send our heartfelt prayers and sympathies to the family and friends of those lost and injured today in Red Lake and to all those touched by this tragedy.

I was a little dubious about introducing this to the lake country. On the Iron Range, it's in their blood.

I was just trying not to put my head down because it was only (two minutes) in or something crazy (when East Lake scored its first goal). I knew we had tons of time to come back. I knew we would because we were so pumped and focused for this game.

I think they felt they had something to prove. You heard around town that Lake Gibson kept getting closer and they might beat us this time. I never felt they could beat us.

I think there is a greater level of awareness and recognition of these athletes further out from the games than we've seen in the past. I think that phenomenon really began before Salt Lake City.

Last Sunday, after seven years in space traveling nearly three billion miles, Stardust landed in the Great Salt Lake Desert with a treasure from when the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago. We should have more than one million particles larger than one micron in diameter.

Last summer my dad, brother and I went fishing off of Lake Erie. We charted a couple of boats and stayed in cottages on the lake. It felt like the trip was over before it began.

I rode out to the lake at 7 a.m. and one brave (cold) fellow was fishing but had no luck yet.

I remember there was a lake on the left because they threw me in the lake when I won. I didn't care, I won the golf tournament.

Our intent was originally to park on the lake bed. That was plan A. We've got a Plan B. There's lots of room. We want to save some space by having people carpool.

Over the past 15 years, the human population around Lake Naivasha has gone from tens of thousand of people to hundreds of thousand of people,

Pam simulated a large amount of water being swept from Lake Pontchartrain over the levee into the bowl of new Orleans,

Over the years, I've lived in a variety of places, including America, but I was born and raised in the Lake District, in Cumbria. Growing up in that rural, sodden, mountainous county has shaped my brain, perhaps even my temperament.

Rita's impact appears less than initially feared. Gaming assets in Lake Charles were damaged but it appears as if full rebuilding may not be necessary. While the city of Lake Charles sustained some significant damage and it will likely be some time before business comes back, our initial read is that the community is far less devastated than New Orleans.

Right there on the lake with the sun going down, (the amphitheater) is a beautiful structure. It's just a great way to enjoy an evening.

Really it's a central location for us. We can serve Boise and Salt Lake City fairly easily from this location, and I think if we moved to another location we wouldn't have the talent we have here. So we might be able to expand, but we probably wouldn't be working with the same caliber that the customers expect.

Our Lady of the Lake has always been ahead of the curve for implementing successful health information technology. They are dedicated to increasing patient safety and improving patient care and have achieved these goals with proven outcomes.

Spirit Lake is a complex world, like an underwater forest, ... It teems with life. It's fascinating. It's very complex.

Somehow, some way we got it done. I told the kids we got the monkey off our back and I don't care how we did it. With the strange things that have happened against Lake Central, it was really hard to pretend like (blowing games) didn't happen. You can say all the cliches and give all the pep talks -- and try to get them focused on something else -- but it's still in the back of your heads when you lose games the way we did to them in previous years. It was tough tonight, but we got through it. It was ugly, but we'll take the win.

My only goal coming here was to do better than Salt Lake and I've already done that.

My wife and I got engaged in New Hampshire at this lake house that her family's had forever, and it's on Lake Winnipesaukee. And so we went there every summer as we were dating.

My mom said she learned how to swim. Someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. That's how she learned how to swim. I said, "Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.

My memory has been tarnished by what happened at Salt Lake City but that was four years ago,

Look at the positive side. If we get a good flooding rain it washes new nutrients into the system. You get the new lake effect when it has been down for a period of time.

Looking forward, it seems that reverse osmosis will remain the predominant technology, but there is lots of room for us to improve it. The membrane materials typically used are limited in their ability to transport materials. Sometimes they get clogged with salt. If you're treating lake water, they can have bugs and organic slime growing on them. One thing we can do is look for better materials for that.

Marsha Ogle is working in a huge shelter in Lake Charles, La., doing mass care work - feeding, loading and cleaning. And Elisa Karleskint is in Gulfport, Miss., working out of an emergency relief vehicle delivering meals, water and cleaning supplies.

Like Professor Lake said, within the next ten years (terrorism) could be a weapon of mass destruction. There's definite threats to a lot of the world powers.

I will try to win three times. I love Kentucky Lake, and Lake Champlain, also.

I think practically all of these easements into the lake are not easements. They're not marked as easements; you wouldn't know they're easements; they're not usable.

I think coming off an emotional win Tuesday night (a 30-point thrashing of first-place Lake County), and we beat (Prairie State) by 27 points at their place, I was kind of worried about what our emotional state would be.

I still think they'll be out pulling the kids tubing and skiing, but I don't think you will see the perusing up and down Coralville Lake like you normally would on a Saturday or Sunday.

It did not have much of an impact on Canyon Lake or the Guadalupe River at all. It was just one event and it is going to take many events to get us back to normal.

It does concern us that a thoughtless or even malicious act like this could hurt the lake for 50 years.

I think Jefferson will be right up there with what we saw (in Salt Lake City). I'm not sure about Florida, but I think on paper, they should be as good.

It hasn't happened a lot, but we do get people who, when we check into it further, we discover have already been to shelter A or shelter B. We send them to chapter headquarters in Salt Lake City. Not everyone is the most ethical.

Just because a lake needs bass, it doesn't mean it's in poor shape. All lakes have good and bad years.

We've talked as a staff how important it is to do this one well. And I think it's real important for Grand Forks to show it supports high school basketball. Hopefully the people in the community will come out and support the tournament. Devils Lake losing in the boys regional didn't help our attendance. They were by far the best-followed team in the East Region tournament.

We need a little payback for Storm Lake last year. They kind of ruined our season and we haven't forgotten that. We want to show people we can play well against them. They're a very good team, a very physical team. They like to throw a lot, so it's going to give us a different set of problems. We want to rise to the occasion and come back with a victory in week two (of district play).

The 7.7 percent increase in the dividend approved by the board today reflects the improved financial results we recorded in 2005 as well as an improving cash flow position following completion of a significant construction program that included the $450 million, 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the $275 million Lake Murray back-up dam, which was completed in June 2005. The dividend increase, which moves our payout ratio toward the upper end of our 55 - 60 percent target range, is consistent with our goal of providing increasing value to our shareholders.

My biggest stringer and my biggest bass (12 pounds) have come out of Lake Toho. And when you have those past experiences, it helps you out a lot. The Classic's been good to me, and I fully expect to win.

My brother liked sewing and sculpting and making things, and my sister sewed and painted and cooked and baked. She's a professional baker now and makes the most gorgeous sculpture-like cakes. She's the queen of wedding cakes in the Lake Tahoe area.

Most of the fish at Lake Powell are structure-oriented, and they will be within 6 feet of the bottom during the evening so we are more likely to catch the fish we are after with this technique.

Wildfire is the biggest threat to our communities, our lake and our watershed. I would hope that concern is considered by place based planning participants.

You kind of expect your leaders to have a good night against a team like Red Lake Falls... Those guys had a big game when they should.

You can always count on the crowd being loud, Lake Roosevelt playing very hard and a classic 'barn' setting that is great for basketball.

Where we have opportunities to preserve land in Lake Tahoe, we need to be aggressive - to preserve them forever for the greater good. Over time we've been able to bring ownership from private to public. We need to provide access or even vista points. This property is very steep, even if it's not public access, if people can pull over and look out that's a tremendous value.
