We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.

Both of these organizations, unlike a professional lobbying firm, deal specifically with the issues we're dealing with. It only makes sense that we work with them.

Both 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls' were movies, not unlike this, that you went into with low expectations, but I was delighted by. Romantic comedy is delicate, in developing the story, in casting, getting the right two people together, and directing it. In this one, even more so, because it deals with life and death, too. It could be melodramatic in the wrong hands, and (Waters) needed to balance these elements. I think he was able to let both things live, and that it had an emotional reality but it never let go of its comic heart.

Bottled water is essentially regulated on the honor system in most states. Unlike tap water suppliers, bottlers need not disclose to consumers known contaminants in their products.

Brave Iraqi soldiers and civilians risked their lives to participate in their fledgling democracy, in some ways not unlike brave Americans did more than 200 years ago. Iraqis went to the polls despite the warning of violence and they continued to vote even when violence occurred.

Bobby was a true maverick and a true risk-taker. He was unlike anyone else. He put all his cards on the table.

'Bloodshot,' for me, was unlike anything I'd ever done before, which was really the draw of it. In addition to trying to reconnect with my earlier work, I also wanted to try to do something that was completely new and different.

Every single series on our network in the last 11 years that has been successful dared to be different, dared to be unusual, unlike anything else on network television. From 'Married with Children' to 'The Simpsons' to 'In Living Color,' 'The X-Files, 'Ally McBeal,' 'King of the Hill,' each of these shows dared to be different and alternative.

Beautiful summer afternoon, loads of people -- well over 100,000. Happy, relaxed, laid back gig -- not loud on stage. Just pleasant volume unlike (the) preceding band I played with.

Customers who make a move to a big telephone company or a big cable operator will do so because they're offering multiple services at a discount, or you can buy a la carte from multiple service providers if one-stop-shopping can't compete on price. Unlike Ma Bell a quarter-century ago, consumers have a lot more choices today and they're growing.

Engel & Volkers is unlike any other real estate company I have known and I am proud to be part of an organization that raises the bar to such high levels.

English, unlike Hebrew, is read from left to right - as are clocks. The concepts of clockwise and counterclockwise are universal, irrespective of alphabet.

Edgar Johnson, unlike Major Parker, has quite an extensive criminal history. The judge did what he thought was just taking into account all of the circumstances (with a lighter sentence).

There's no question that industries that are purchasing steel are benefiting. But unlike industries that are hurt, consumers will never organize.

There's no doubt that what has emerged in the years after 9/11, unlike the situation in Britain, there were practices sanctioned in the U.S. that fall far below the standard of conduct that should have taken place. It is for the American system of government, in all of its branches, to address that. It is not for a British politician.

There's just so many things that are positive about the opportunity that (interim GM) Wayne (Embry) has established, from the cap flexibility, and the ability to look at free agency in a different light, and perhaps explore trade opportunities. It's not unlike a team we had in Phoenix a couple years ago.

There's just so many positive things about the opportunity that Wayne (Embry) has established in terms of the cap flexibility and the ability to look at free agency in a different light and perhaps explore trade opportunities to acquire the necessary pieces. It's not unlike a team we had in Phoenix a couple years ago.

I spent the afternoon musing on Life. If you come to think of it, what a queer thing Life is! So unlike anything else, don't you know, if you see what I mean.

it would present us with problems far more profound than in the past, because unlike the others, the deadline is real.

It wouldn't have been a bad year if prices hadn't improved. They were realizing 3-4 cents a pound improvement in costs each quarter. So unlike other aluminum companies, they can keep the spread widening whether price goes up or not.

The violin is very beautiful. Some people relate it as the shape of a lady, but, whether you like it or not, it's been so for more than 400 years, unlike modern stuff that easily looks dated. But I think it's very personal and unique that, although each violin looks pretty similar, that no two violins sound the same.

The view is any team within that range can be competitive, unlike the $20 million to $80 million spread we had before. It enables each team to have the flexibility it needs with young players and returning players.

The very beautiful and very touching thing about opera singers is they are very willing to do whatever you want. Unlike actors, who constantly want to know why they're doing something, opera singers will sort of follow you into the fires of hell.

The scientific community having made a rapid ascent from deep poverty to great affluence, from academe's cloisters to Washington's high councils, still tends to be a bit excitable - not unlike a nouveau riche in a fluctuating market.

It was unlike any feeling I've ever had, ... because we're so close to these Marines.

It was an easy selection from the point of view that everyone was fit. It's unlike previous times, when we have had to get players into the mix after injury or find another player because of an injury.

It was all about just focusing on our job, playing four full quarters, unlike what we did last week when we only played three quarters. It doesn't matter what team it is, we have to come out and give it our all.

These crowds are going to be like college basketball crowds. It's unlike anything else you'll see at an NBA game.

The Steelhead appliance models 100 and 200 allow us to offer customers with smaller remote offices the best price/performance application and WAN acceleration product on the market. Unlike competitors that offer crippled versions of their products to small remote offices, including limited bandwidth capabilities to less than 256kbps and memory-only based systems with no disk-based optimization and no ability to accommodate growth, our Steelhead models 100 and 200 offer the full functionality found in our larger-scale appliances and even offer an upgrade path from the 100 to the 200.

These new players incorporate our most coveted features in a fresh design that's unlike anything in the market today. They're a playful and easy way to enjoy digital music; just looking at them makes you want to smile.

The Senate still needs to explain why it's insisting, unlike every other state in the nation, that the Medicaid inspector general would have a five-year term.

The similarity between Iron Man and Green Lantern is, unlike Superman or any of the X-Men or Spider-Man, anyone can be Green Lantern or Iron Man. All you need is the ring or the suit.

The symbolism was quite unique. It's a little bizarre, but not unlike Rob. He can think outside the box.

I've been around The Cedars from the beginning, and I can tell you that we're really tight here. Everyone works together here. It's a neighborhood unlike any other in Dallas; it's a true community.

I've been an attorney, residing in Ellis County for 10 years. And like most of you my experience goes beyond Ellis County. Unlike my opponent who only had two years of experience when he was first elected.

I wanted some real economic advice from a real Australian, someone in touch with the land, in touch with reality . . . unlike the other Mr Costello.

I wanted to do something other than just sign books, ... I thought that by doing makeovers I could make this more of an interactive thing. So I have makeup artists there and I do a little Q and A. I just want to make myself available. I want them to feel that I will treat them as well as I would any celebrity. Some people may not think it is my forte, but I am actually very approachable -- unlike my photographs.

Technology ventures can succeed with very little investment, unlike many other industries. A lot of the big Internet players like Google or Yahoo were started by a couple of guys with computers. Microsoft was started in Bill Gates' garage.

Tennis players are very fortunate that unlike some disciplines of sport, in mega-sporting events like the Grand Slams, they have a huge platform to showcase their talents on the world stage once every few months.

Rosa Parks is in history because she made this nation deal with changing the laws and policies of this nation unlike anybody else.

Practice -- quite frankly, I think he loses interest a lot of times, not unlike a lot of us players. But come game day -- I was talking to Hines the other day and I said, you know, he'll be ready, and he was. He moved around, I didn't see any effect of the knee.

Science fiction is exciting because it promises to show the world and the universe from perspectives radically unlike what we've seen before.

Our defensive effort was good from the opening tip and that's something we've focused on in practice all week. We had a few breakdowns at Massachusetts, which was unlike us. It was a good week to focus on the defensive end. We created a lot of havoc, a lot of turnovers.

People relate to wood in ways that they don't to other materials. It feels real and natural, unlike plastic and steel. It feels like you really can make something out of it, rather than just put something together.

People are traveling year-round now much more than they used to. Halloween is not your typical travel holiday, but people can use it as an excuse to travel. Plus, unlike Thanksgiving and Christmas, when everybody is traveling, on Halloween you're not going to be traveling with the masses.

After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus, and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money we don't have. But, instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt, unlike anything we have seen in the history of our country.

Advertising practitioners are interpreters. But unlike foreign language interpreters, adpeople must constantly learn new languages. They must understand the language of each new product, and speak the language of each new target audience.

After its defeat in the Second World War, Japan, unlike Germany, failed to show true contrition or give a fulsome apology, though it showered its neighbours, including China, with generous economic assistance. Only in 1995 did it finally offer an apology, but this was of the most limited and formulaic kind.

So, unlike in humans, every chimp male's sperm has to fight really hard to fertilize a single egg.

One day, a new fabric appeared on the scene. PVC was shiny, waterproof, and unlike anything I'd ever seen before.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid marveled at the electability of Barack Obama because, unlike previous black candidates, Mr. Obama was 'light-skinned' and lacked a 'Negro dialect.'

Despite the lower value ratings Cisco received in our survey this year, the truth is that organizations are reluctant to change vendors, and if they do, there has to be a very compelling case for doing so, ... Unlike in the router market, there doesn't appear to be a shake-up going on in the switch market. Vendors that make an organization's short list are likely already installed in that network.

Antitrust decrees are not written unlike leases for apartments, on a month-to-month basis. They are written for a long, long time, typically, particularly a big decree like this.

As a concept, I support a downtown arena, ... Unlike the last deal, this one should be totally financed by the sports authority and venue users unless the city will be receiving a meaningful piece of the revenue stream.

A very receptive state of mind...not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it.

A very important factor is the fact that inflation expectations are well-controlled and well-contained, which means that the Federal Reserve, unlike the 70s, doesn't have to react violently in terms of raising interest rates to contain the second- and third-round inflationary impacts. So I remain pretty optimistic about the economy,

Back then we had players I knew and had assessed before unlike this time when the team is entirely new.

As I was coming in (the interview room), I was thinking about how much energy he brought to the game tonight. His comments and his enthusiasm on the bench and his communication with the players was extremely animated, unlike A.J. Sometimes he is very quiet, but he had a lot to say.

Al Gore, unlike George Bush, is not afraid to disagree with his friends.

You should be here no later than 7 so you could find your seat and wander around, see merchandise and just the atmosphere of the show because it's very unique. It's unlike anything we do for the rest of the year.

Your phone is about you in ways that are unlike traditional mass media.

Young children are not prejudiced against languages, unlike many adults. They are not afraid of having a go, of interacting with others linguistically. Later on, their hormones tend to get in the way.

Young children are not prejudiced against languages, unlike many adults, ... They are not afraid of having a go, of interacting with others linguistically. Later on, their hormones tend to get in the way.

This is an event unlike any other in the Northwest,

This is his Achilles heel, the big headache for Pinochet and his defence lawyers. Unlike the human-rights accusations where it has been tough to prove a link between Pinochet and the crimes of his regime, in this case the numbers don't lie and the case could move forward very quickly.

This is not a strong period in our economy or the national economy, but unlike a decade ago, we're not doing worse.

This is not a six-month commitment. Sometimes, maybe you can see the enthusiasm change. In this particular case, I don't think that's going to happen because I really think there's a resolve and a drive to look for alternatives. ... It is a challenge, but it's not unlike many that we've faced in the past.

This is not unlike what is happening at many U.S. ports.

This is not unlike the five percent to 10 percent correction a lot of people were calling for in the beginning of the year. You have an absence of corporate and economic news and clearly people are trying to rationalize valuations.

This is the dark side of synergy. One of the few things that people still trust about the American media, unlike media in other countries, is that you can't walk in with cash and pay for a story. That perceived integrity is a lot more valuable than any one interview.

The wealthy are confident in their abilities to overcome bad situations - on the job, in their personal lives, with their finances. Many have triumphed over dismal financial starts. And, unlike most of the population that hops from job to job, career to career, the wealthy are much more likely to stick with what they start.

This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that.

This event is going to be unlike anything that has ever been done in Nashville. Plan on being surprised by a truly sophisticated fashion show experience. Guests will witness not only the hottest Spring styles for men and women, but will be a part of an event that will showcase Nashville's progression into a truly cosmopolitan city to live, work and play.

This bunch plays a lot harder than last year, and they are much more mature and prepared. It just seems like they click a lot more on offense this year. And they move well on defense, and their post players are sealing better. Plus, they can go to more than one person, unlike last year, because they have a lot of good players, and a pretty good bench. After a while, I just think they wear you down.

This approval clears the way for us to begin construction on what will become one of the premier mixed-use developments in the nation. The ability to include lofts, condominiums and other residential options within the Garden District guarantees that, as the city said, this will be unlike anything that currently exists in Allen. Everyone is exited about its potential.

They were hanging on the fence and he didn't get shook up, unlike me and Cecil. The Derby is different. You have to get used to the media horde and the barn area. It's hard to imagine what it will be like. You need to get in there 10 days early.

They see an opportunity to develop a business and create wealth. Unlike a lot of small cafe and restaurant owners, they're not people who've bought into a lifestyle choice. There's no emotion or ego involved. And from a business point of view that's an advantage.

They play because they have a lot of fun and Annette especially enjoys the competition. They are lucky, none of them have received serious injuries while playing, unlike some of their friends and teammates. Yes, I worry about them getting hurt while playing, but as long as they enjoy it and want to continue, I will be there to encourage them.

They felt they can only give you one helmet, because unlike offence with the quarterback, it's difficult to monitor which helmets are in the game (defensively). Or if the guy gets hurt, a team would be without it and at a disadvantage.

There was definitely some pressure there because, unlike a lot of other comic book characters, my character had never had a voice.

There will be no budget impact from this project from this day on. Unlike other expenses, debt service is fixed.

There will be a vastly improved user experience, particularly for the 9x users, ... It is far more stable, reliable and secure than the 9x base. Unlike Windows 95, this actually delivers on the promises.

There were some manufacturing problems with the stickers. The mirror hangers are made with heavy gauge plastic unlike previous ones that would fall off due to the heat.

The report is stronger than appears on the surface. Unlike other parts of the economy, manufacturing activity moved up, so I would say in general this is a pretty solid report. Utility output was down probably because of the relatively cool summer we had.

The report confirms that Minnesota's approach to liquor regulation is outdated and unfairly benefits liquor wholesalers and retailers at the expense of consumers. Unlike the liquor cartel, the grocery industry thrives because we operate in a competitive environment that focuses primarily on customer needs. This report will provide a strong foundation for adopting a more consumer-friendly approach to alcohol sales in Minnesota, such as Wine With Dinner.

This is the start of a revolution unlike any we've ever seen.

This is unlike what we have seen before.

This is unlike the Blue Monster, where the wind normally blows a lot. This is as calm as I've seen it at noon.

This is unlike the Blue Monster, as calm as I've ever seen it.

This is unlike Standard Oil or AT&T, where there were physical assets. This is an intellectual property-focused case, so it's about people and software.

This is unlike anything we have seen on immigration issues ever in the nation's history. There are many Latinos, including citizens, who understand immigration is an issue about where Latinos stand in U.S. society, and believe this is an important issue.

This is unlike any disaster we've ever had to handle.

This latest disclosure of mismanagement at the Department of Defense is outrageous. Unlike other instances where reports have shown that DoD simply loses major inventory items, this mistake actually threatens lives of American soldiers.

A book unlike a television program, moving picture or any other "modern means of communication" can wait for years, yet be available at any moment when it happens to be needed.

Accountable to no one other than the prime minister, (Robert) Rabinovitch had a free hand to lock out CBC employees and deny service to Canadians. Unlike other corporations, CBC's board cannot hire or fire its CEO.

It's exactly what I thought it would be. It has been unbelievable. We are at 90 to 100 percent capacity every night. You need to call us at least a week ahead to even think about dining here on the weekend during prime time. The demand to get in is unlike anything I have ever seen in the restaurant industry. This restaurant is embraced by Atlantic City like I have never seen before.
