Over the last 10 years, we've seen a fairly significant core of the population spending more than half the value of their home on improvements.

Really it comes down to exclusive games, ... Who's got games you can't get anywhere else? We have strong internal development resources, and the combination of familiar character franchises in a new environment with completely new games for the older audience, and innovative types of game play. Everyone's going to have pretty graphics. That doesn't necessarily make the entertainment more compelling.

Our research is part of a larger trend where researchers are seeking to replace older 'ablative' surgical techniques.

Stephen Arnold has been the most consistent. But this Joel Hall has come along, is kicking the ball well.

Some of the now older kids remember performing at the Convention Center in New Orleans, when they were the youngest ones on the trip.

My sister is my little star, and I'm excited for her and proud of her. With her, I'm protective, but also I don't want to be that sister who's really pushy and thinks they know everything and making her feel like she doesn't know what she's doing. I'm trying to be that cool older sister and not the mom, but it's hard.

My older brother, Scott, was swimming around the house trying to get the kids. My younger brother, Jeff, has three little kids. They were trying to get them up in the attic.

But now, as bad as that was, the worst is yet to come.

My older brother's been my best friend since I can remember. I talk to him every day of my life, and anytime he's in town we're together. But I'm also very close with my parents. We all get along very, very well. We've never had fights or anything like that.

When the children learned that the older wild horses that are considered unadoptable could be sold for slaughter, a couple of kids asked, 'How can we stop this?,' and it went on from there. It's sort of an introduction to how they can make a difference, even if they're little. It's great for the kids to learn they can.

I was very close with my mother growing up. I have four older sisters who were an important part of my life. And I've been very close to all the women I've dated. I feel most comfortable around women.

I was given this only because I am older than you are, ... And I think that's perfectly fair.

I was in a great situation here and wasn't about to give up a great program for something that I didn't think that we could get done.

It feels different being one of the older ones. It's definitely changed, losing last year's senior class.

With each Olympics you watch, you have to appreciate how great those athletes are.

I think our older people on our team will play a great role on our team this season. We graduated five people, but we have most of our big hitters coming back.

We're a veteran team, but everyone's going to input a lot.

I think I eventually want to teach first or second grade. I've always liked little kids, and it's been easy for me to relate to them. I don't think I'd want to teach middle or high school. I remember how I was then, and it doesn't seem like the older kids give young teachers much respect.

I think he raced good. He's starting to impress me. Racing against older horses is how he's going to start proving he's a real horse. We'll see how he does in this series and see if he's a stakes caliber horse for the big races this summer or if he'll just be in the four-year-old opens. This is the test.

I think he needs to work on his foot speed. His strength will have to get better because he is playing against older boys. I don't think that will be a problem. I think he will do well in either the offensive or defensive line.

I think he's always going to be the same person. As you get older and a little wiser, you've got younger guys coming up and you teach them just like older guys taught you. I don't think you can live a full life if you don't experience hardships.

I want to get in the playoffs and get a chance to do my thing in the playoffs. That's the most appealing thing to me about the Nets. I don't think my role is the most important thing. I think winning is the most important thing.

I think just being able to see my kids grow up and having a family has really helped me at this point in my career, ...

I think me being older and doing it for five years kind of helps, too, because I have the experience and I already know the whole offense. Being hurt is just a matter of getting back into shape.

I think Martin Luther King is still around in spirit. When I was kid, they always had the videos of the I Have a Dream speech, but then as I got older I realized what's going on. Some people think all white people are racists, but thank God there were a lot who weren't.

I think Marcus Vick has had to carry a burden that the rest of the guys don't have to carry, which is a famous, very talented older brother. We haven't looked at him as closely, but I think that he'll probably grow up. I'm sure some team will be realistic in what role Marcus or anyone else can have when it comes to helping them.

I think many older people like me will really suffer. I'd like to hire them, but unfortunately we're not doing so well lately.

I thought hitting might be our weakness coming into the season, but the new guys in the lineup have surprised the heck out of us, and some of the older guys are starting to come around.

Just because I am getting older doesn't mean that I have to accept a sedentary lifestyle. One has to have goals in life to stay motivated and keep moving ahead.

It is exciting to see what the young players bring to the team. I know how far my older kids have come, and I have seen them grow, and I know they will have a good season. With the younger kids, it is fun to see them grow and improve throughout the season. Seeing the enthusiasm of this team reminds me of why I coach. I like to see the kids out there enjoying it again.

It is essential that older people are treated as a group with special and particular needs in these emergency situations as they usually get forgotten when disaster strikes.

I'm starting to shake it off, I am quite self-conscious, and it's only when I'm playing roles that I can escape that. The older I get, the more people tell me it's absolutely fine to be the way you are with all your quirks and nuances, and I wish I'd learnt that younger - I would have relaxed a bit more.

I'm starting to be a little older now and starting to have more of a bigger role on this team, and it's going to be up to me to step up. I'm not replacing Peter; nobody will replace Peter, but I want to bring a little more on the ice.

Im still runnin against the windWell Im older now and stillAgainst the wind

We need performances like that and like we had against Wisconsin. At this time of the season you look to your older players to lead the way. Isaac has had a good career and we'd like to give him the chance to get to 61 wins.

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

The all-ages atmosphere is about music and community and having a good, sober time. Not about older men dancing with teenage girls.
