We're saying it's under new owners because we own the business. He (Barnes) owns the building and land." ()

What the owners are doing calls for a strike, ... I think it's fair to say owners are on track to commit same errors as in 1994. But I'm the last person to ask if there will be a strike because I don't have any management connections. I can't say how far management is going to go being stupid again.

In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves.

I am an owner who prefers to stay behind the scenes and allow my staff to do what they do best.

You're kinda striding the line of what's yours and theirs. What's yours (points to us), what's mine, what's ours as creators of it and what's yours as owners.

A woman's heart is such a complex problem - the owner thereof is often most incompetent to find the solution to this puzzle.

We always encourage the owners to do it themselves. We don't really want to mow any lots.

There are people within the RFU who are well aware of the implications. It is tremendous theatre but, as certain owners have said to me, hangings are exciting as long as you're not the person getting hanged. It's something we've got to sit down and talk about. Anything is on the table.

(There are) no construction-related issues with the surrounding property owners and the super Wal-Mart development, so we think it's going fairly well.

We had not planned on having any vote, other than just to study (the contract), ... It's not a public hearing, but it is a study session. We will take comments. And then if it seems suitable to the property owners involved -- who we're most concerned about -- we will have a vote on Sept. 26 (the next council meeting) on this issue to start the ball rolling for a new bridge.

There is no doubt that the great majority of the work called 'modern' is the product of degenerates and perverts . . . As owners of a great Van Eyck, if we take a part by refusing to pollute our gallery with this filth we shall render a service to Art.

The outlook for the farmer owners is tremendously bright. They will receive nice checks in the mail in the next few months, and we will then look forward to communicating with our members about new opportunities.

Trade unions infringe upon the property rights of company owners.

We're looking forward to working with other local showroom owners to promote the continued success of the furniture market in North Carolina. Hopefully, we'll bring fresh insight and renewed energy to the High Point showroom scene.

Imperfections are attractive when their owners are happy with them.

We've talked about no fewer than six and no more than eight (members). But that's not set in concrete. We had some discussion with the owners about whether the committee should be one owner for each division, or whether there was any one factor that could determine how the committee would be composed.

There is no such thing as a problem breed. However, there is no shortage of 'problem owners'....

When heights increase, you are making gold for owners of the property. The question is: How much of that gold will be shared with the public?

The primary business of small business owners is business not technology.

The price you see at the gas station is really based on the gas station owners expectations of what they have to replace the gas in their tanks, not what they paid for it.

When you clean it up, particularly if it's in the warmer months anywhere from May to September, it's going to be back in two weeks because it's a nice clean wall. Most shop owners want to keep their properties nice, but there's a limit to what they can do in the course of the year.

The plantations in the Hilo district enjoy special advantages, for by turning some of the innumerable mountain streams into flumes, the owners can bring a great part of their cane and all their wood for fuel down to the mills without other expense than the original cost of the woodwork.

There are people who have been in Harlem for years who have paved the way for us. A lot of people are moving into the community and the demographics are changing, but a lot of young African American professionals are doing just what Gail and I have done -- they're not only moving back to the community and becoming homeowners, they're saying we want to be business owners as well. That's an important demographic change, too.

We're concerned some of the good owners might be penalized if this is applied too broadly. If the sweeps are in response to complaints or code violations, we're all in favor of that. We're in favor of safe, sanitary and clean housing.

Lying comes very easy to these people. The owners and league lie all the time to further their agenda. What that is, it appears pretty obvious to me at this point, is to break the union and start all over again with entirely new players.

Main Street optimism has backed down from the mountain top and is resting on a high plateau. The general view is that things have been going well for so long, they're bound to ease back a bit. Small-business owners aren't painting a doom-and-gloom scenario here. They just sense that the red-hot economy will cool by a degree or two.

Machine owners know they're illegal. They've been warned, and they just won't take them out.

Last year's fuel price run-up and Middle East crises may have not only hurt American drivers' pocketbooks but also caused them to feel guilty about operating large, gas-only vehicles. Ethanol power not only allows owners to enjoy large vehicles, but it can also let them feel good about the domestic agricultural economy, American energy independence and the environment.

Many of the rescued animals will be brought to the Saline County facility to be rehabilitated and then placed in foster homes. Hopefully, their owners can eventually reclaim them.

Many majority owners in recent deals have tried to reduce their equity position and cash calls through minority position. There is a risk that in the sense that if things go poorly the minority owners can leverage or force out the majority owner.

Many individual business owners aren't waiting, ... but are involved in their own rebuilding projects. Every day I see construction going on. It's ultimately going to give the community a shape for the future.

Many if not most of the property owners out there have taken the next steps.

Many of us feel called. We hear about something like a tornado happening, and we want to help people. A lot of the time, people have spiritual needs after a time like this. After each job, we like to ask the owners of the house to pray with us. A lot of people tell us the prayer does them more good than anything else.

Sellers can use our tools to arrive at the right selling price. And owners can track the value of their most important asset.

So many land managers and owners are doing incredible work in vegetation management. We want to help these people share their vegetation management projects and successes with each other, and reward those projects that showcase the very best in Quality Vegetation Management practices.

She's a pest. Her owners were allergic to her.

Some condo owners have 'bare walls coverage', which means that the building pays for everything from the drywall in, ... It depends on things like whether you own the four walls of the condo, or just the airspace in between them. You might not be responsible for insuring the walls, for example, but you might have to insure your wallpaper and cabinetry.

Since we served the two notices on the premises located at Tate Street and Gloucester Avenue, the owners have gone and done a significant portion of the work to clean up the place.

Most small poultry owners start their business by selling off land and jewelry. And when they can't recover their costs, they are left with no choice.

Most small business owners don't think they're getting a fair shake,

Most of the time, I find that dogs are in complete control of the house because they're confused about their role. Dogs instinctively follow a pack mentality. By training owners to use voice control and body language to establish authority, we teach them how to gain control so their dogs can become obedient, enjoyable family members.

Most people with mortgages have their taxes automatically escrowed and are less likely to question their taxes, ... You find that the people who take a hard look at their assessment are older home owners who have paid off their mortgage or people who are building a home.

Mr. Secretary, if the nursing home owners are arrested for negligent homicide, why shouldn't you also be arrested for negligent homicide?

Mr. Avery's comments showed a complete lack of respect for all those associated with our game, most importantly, his fellow players, ... Mr. Avery has besmirched the reputation of all NHL players, coaches, general managers and owners who, collectively, have been successful in providing a more entertaining game for our fans.

Maybe you could look at an incremental approach that does give breaks to property owners whose home value is less.

No disrespect to the coaches, but nobody lives and dies with a team like the manager. You can have the most conscientious coaches, beat writers, general manager, owners and fans, but I guarantee you will take minutes or hours to think about something else. A manager can't let it go.

One-on-one sessions can help if people don't have time for obedience classes. I can even train dogs if the owners aren't home, and that could be a real time-saver for people.

One of the things I wanted to say to all you guys is that when you talk to the team owners about this . . . we come at it from different views. We actually have very much competing agendas.

Obviously what is being reported right now is an impasse. There are a lot of teams in similar straits that we are in, in terms of kind of waiting and hoping for the best. If no agreement is reached, I am sure there will be some very difficult decisions to be made. The players and the owners have to sort this thing out. It will take time. It is frustrating for, I think, fans and everyone.

No one knows your product the way that you do, ... I really think small-business owners should think twice before they hire expensive consultants.

My exclusive pet accessories are not just for the rich and famous. Pets love the products because they are designed for ultimate comfort, and with the reasonable prices, their owners keep coming back for more I couldn't be happier.

My dad was a pretty poor guy, he didn't have a whole lot of money. He always wanted something for my brother and myself, some kind of business. He'd asked the owners of this course to call him if it ever came up for sale, and one day, they called. I had a scholarship offer to Ohio State and my dad said, 'Son, what do you want to do, cut grass or go to school?' I said, what do you want me to do, Dad? He said, 'Well, I can't afford any help.' I said, 'No problem, Dad, I'll help you cut grass.' Looking back, I think I made the right decision.

More and more, owners want you to win now, fans want you to win now. They see that guy and they think he should take over. There have been more of them ruined from the beatings they've taken in that first year and the lessons they've learned than have been successful.

My guess is they want to sell high- definition discs. You want to get the high-definition monitor owners drooling. It's clever marketing.

My guess is the league will be back with a hard cap, but I hope I'm wrong. I would hope they would recognize the concessions the players have made. If they (include a cap), there's a good chance the players will be so offended they'll just walk away from the table. I would be flabbergasted if the owners did that because of the amount of work that went into that proposal. I believe that (offer) can help lead to an agreement.

Now with 68 luxury hotels and resorts in 31 countries and more than 20 properties in development, Four Seasons continues to strengthen its position for the present and future. Our strategy continues to focus on obtaining long-term management contracts with owners and investors who share our vision, and who are ready to invest in our future.

Neither of the owners wants to run in the Derby if he doesn't have a chance.

Obviously, the economy is improving and business owners are optimistic. Small business owners are saying that they will be hiring people, expanding facilities, even investing additional funding in their business.

Obviously, if you prorate it over a shorter time, the signing bonus won't be as high. But teams, players, owners and agents can all get creative.

Obtaining adequate financing is the lifeblood of every small business. Considering the concerns of small business owners about the economy, it's a comfort to see that so many of them feel confident about their capital options." ()

Pet owners want to be able to go away and know their pet will be treated just as they are treated at home. And pets today are living very good lives.

Pet owners need to watch for clinical signs of respiratory problems and see their veterinarians if they spot any of the usual signs of a virus, such as runny eyes and nose or cough. Common viruses other than the flu can cause these signs in dogs, cats and birds. Many can be managed successfully in adult pets with proper supportive care.

People who are making the transition from renters to owners will find it the biggest hurdle.

Policies are renewed each year, and business owners should see that it comes back the way they want it to come back. Make sure the renewal policy is in line and up-to-date with the current business situation.

Nobody in hockey should be making that much money. There's no TV revenue to speak of, and why people think there is, I have no idea. I have a problem with everybody begrudging a group or individual that has paid $100 to $150 million for something making 2, 3, 4 percent on his money. To begrudge that and say the owners are lying ... well, I've been on both sides, and I can tell you the owners aren't lying.

One of the really, really big reasons why the league has been so good is that it has had outstanding leadership. The commissioner has led the league through some real growth periods. Obviously they're going to lose a great man who has done a tremendous job a tremendous job. That has to be one of the toughest jobs that anyone could ever deal with: the owners and the players and all the issues that come up with that. I can understand why he might have felt it was time to retire.

I have decided not to let our owners drive me out of KHON-2. I'm not sure how many good people will remain after the mass firings that are about to occur, but I know this ... KHON-2 will be severely damaged. It has been already.

I don't ever worry about the pets we have to put to sleep. It's the owners that really take it hard that I worry about.

I am so excited to be part of the team helping rights owners sell directly to music fans and enabling the legitimate sharing of the music they love with friends and family. It takes digital music distribution to the next level of choice, simplicity and flexibility.

I am very excited about working with Rodmell Press owners Donald Moyer and Linda Cogozzo, who really understand what this book is all about, and about why healthy breathing is so important in today's stressful world.

CDC is made up of Pivotal, IMI, which is a supply chain player, and Ross, which is an ERP player. CDC has integrated none of these into a suite. This new entity was going to be made up of all these new pieces, plus Onyx. Our shareholders were going to walk away being a small, minority owner in CDC, as opposed to being 100 percent owners in Onyx, a company that is doing very well right now.

But there are 90 million gun owners in the United States. Only 3.5 million want the insurance and magazines and the various things you get for joining the NRA.

Business owners usually call a center when they have a problem with quality or overall output. We go in and look for the bottlenecks in their process and see where things could be streamlined.

Business owners still have to consider the implications of exposing their customers and employees to a toxin.

Business owners should not have to choose between violating their faith and violating the law.

Business owners overstate the constraints. People don't understand that they are not going to lose clients over a stringent accounts receivable policy.

Business owners large and small had hopefully evacuated from the area, so they don't know yet how their businesses have fared. It will be awhile before we'll be able to clarify the scope of this disaster.

Business owners have been burned by the recession in the past, so they'll take on some temporary staff and then convert them to full time when they know the recovery is for real.

Business owners have a responsibility to ensure their workers are eligible to work in the U.S.. But 80 percent of our members are small business owners that build less than 25 homes a year. The government can't expect small business owners to handle this burden of policing and should take the role of making sure workers are documented.

Business owners are not trying to determine if a person is documented or not, or that the documents are valid and legal per se. We are in business to conduct business and bring in profits.

Business Matchmaking gives us yet another avenue to support small business owners. We provide a tech center at each event, which offers Internet access, printing facilities and staffers to answer any questions small business owners may have as they prepare for their one-on-one appointments.

Basically what is happening is the industry is trying to stop a run on wholesale gasoline by gas stations, ... The gas station owners don't want to under price the market and possibly run out of gasoline.

Basically, I teach people how to train their dogs. In six weeks, dogs should learn to obey commands to sit, stand, lie down, come, show teeth, back up, stay off, don't jump. Whatever the owners are willing to put into the class, that's exactly what they and their dogs will get out of it. Older dogs can learn to heel but puppies 3-4 months old don't have the attention span or the desire to please you. When they're older, they can take a little more pressure to learn.

Baseball in the past has taken a back seat to some of the other sports in terms of expansion. This is a huge step. You've got the players' association and the owners coming together on this. I think it's a great idea. People have questioned the timing of it, but when you think about it, when else are you going to have it?

I had hoped we would never see the NHL owners and their commissioner do the unthinkable and cancel an entire NHL season,

Four of the mansions will be on the market this year. Because they are national landmarks, there are tight restrictions on modifications owners can do to the exterior of the mansions.

Gale Norton has been a great advocate of protecting private property rights and improving the public's access to public lands. She has been a friend and ally of our movement. She has several major accomplishments, including the Healthy Forests Act which protects both people and forests from out of control wildfires, endorsing Endangered Species Act reforms to make the law work for a change, sharply reducing federal land acquisition because the government already owns too much, and greatly increasing the role of land owners and local elected officials in decision making processes.

From what I understand, the owners plan to put up a sign on the property in the next couple of weeks.

I don't think anyone has replaced him. His impact in the sport behind the scenes is well-known by car owners and drivers that were around in that time.

I don't think it will further the process to respond to comments like those from Jeremy Jacobs suggesting the available deal only gets worse with the passage of time. Obviously the owners' decision to cancel the season will have negative impact on everyone associated with our industry and unfortunately this has been the preferred route to take by owners like Jeremy Jacobs.
