One of my personal favorite moments in life was when a buddy of mine and I were working in the joust. We finished up one really hot day, went over to the Rosie Stag, a little on-site period tavern, clapped our swords on the table, ordered up a pitcher of ale, whipped out our period pipes and tobacco, and just sat there relaxing for the next hour waiting for the next joust. Moments like that, you feel like you've transcended into what (life) might have been at that time.

Obviously we would like to win tomorrow and tie the series and that is always the objective in a one-day match. We feel that if we can put a little bit more pressure on the opposition for a longer period we stand a much better chance to win the game and square the series.

Obviously, we're rising because of the situation in Nigeria , but it also looks like the coldest period of the year is coming up. We're looking at a 10-day spell of cold weather starting Saturday.

Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.

Of course it will be a different game because we didn't play in such a long time. It's a different game on the smaller ice. The first period it will be difficult to try and get our timing. After that, it should be fine.

Online stock trades are $9.99 - period - no strings attached. This is only part of the value proposition, though.

More important than this temporary alignment is the fact that the indicators are going in the same direction and have been doing so for several months.

Obviously, the second period was a real bad period for us. We were lucky to come out of that period still tied, thanks to Jose's work.

Obviously the newcomers have a shorter period of time, they learn from the mistakes of others and so on,

Obviously it was a very meticulously planned operation over a long period of time. A lot of organization, sophistication, a lot of technical sophistication, complete disregard of Kenyan and Tanzanian life. Therefore it would hardly be anything local as that you would find in Kenya or Tanzania.

Obviously cash conservation is a No. 1 priority as we make sure we get our cost structure in line in this period of very low revenue, ... This is an absolute surprise. We've never seen a downturn this rapid.

On Saturday, he wanted to go back into the game, because that's just how he is. But we had to be smart about it. The (injury) tightened up on him as the game went on. We asked him as we went into the second half if it was tightening up, and it was. Had it not been, there might have been a temptation to put him back into the game. As it is now, it's good we didn't, because we could have lost him for an extended period of time.

One of the challenges with period costumes is, on a technical level, making the scale of different periods work on contemporary bodies. We're much bigger than what people were in older times.

I would give him very high marks for doing what he's managed to do in a very short period of time. I think he's managed to settle down the uproar regarding the bureau.

I didn't like the way we played our game. The second period killed us. A lot it was due to face-offs. It started there. Structurally, we didn't play intelligently and that bothered me. When you do that against a good team like Atlanta, they will tear you apart.

Capital spending (actual and planned) got healthier and one in five owners views the current period as a good time to expand, strong for this period in the cycle.

BB&T over the years largely has grown through the merger-and- acquisition process, acquiring community banks and thrifts, and that's been successful on our part. Over the last year we've had a little of this indigestion from a lot of mergers over a short period.

Basically, it was a great period for traders - some of them made a lot of money and some of them lost a lot of money.

China's apprentice period must now come to a close, and China must act as a fully accountable participant and beneficiary in the international trading system. China must find a way to pursue its own self-interest while also adhering to, and helping to shape, the policies and institutions that under gird its own prosperity and the prosperity of its trading partners.

China has existed within very roughly its present borders for over two millennia and for virtually the whole of that period saw itself as a 'civilisation state.'

China has entered a period of rapid increase in exits and entries.

I'm a student of conservation history and what I see are cycles, ... The trend over time has been a broader level of conservation and concern. But there are peaks and valleys. We had tremendous environmental activism under Theodore Roosevelt, then went through a drought in the '20s. We had another resurgence in conservation interest in the '30s, hit a lull in the '50s, then had a highly active period in the '60s and '70s.

I can remember thinking, This is tough, but this is good for me. It's always stuck with me. I knew somehow that I was going through a period that was strengthening.

I had a Sonoma race where I was disappointed in the result, ... I wanted to make amends for that. That was the longest period of time I've ever had between races. From the last race of the year to the first race of the next season is a long time. It felt a lot longer than that.

I have a couple moments in the third period where I have a chance to score goals, but I didn't score. We have six more games, we must forget this game.

I have learned as much in the last three years as in any other comparable period of my life, but with an added realisation of how little over a half century of study one has in fact managed to learn of the whole range of economic policy issues.

I hate to sound Pollyanna about it, but I do believe that this is an anomaly. Business will bounce back and over a period of time it'll fight its way back.

I felt like we had enough chances in the second period to win the game, easily. We just didn't do it. ... We couldn't score. That's the problem we've got now, nothing else.
