Jeff Davis Quotations

We are a grass-roots volunteer organization that has at all times complied with Minnesota registration and disclosure requirements.

When it comes right down to it, I'm not going to say that we didn't execute. We didn't hit our shots.

Yes, I believe it is the responsibility of development companies to look at a property when planning a development, and make the best effort to incorporate existing natural formations.

We've been in a state of mind where we've been worried about a slowdown dragging down the U.S. economy,

We're a real rock band with punk influences.

Losses will be real, but the flip side is there will be huge building activity for years.

Me and Connor (Lovat-Fraser), the singer, took the concept and broke it up and spread it into 12 sections, then we started writing music. I wrote most of the guitar stuff, then we all jammed together.

More often with a cold or a flu-type symptom, you may have a fever or a temperature that you won't have with allergies.

I am so excited when I hear you doing this. It's about shifting people's paradigm and having them think they're valuable when they don't think that they are valuable.

I can't say how hard Danielle Harrington plays. She's an absolute warrior. She went into the stands three times. She's the heart and guts of this team. I've never been around a basketball player like her.

I can think of nothing but savoring the bittersweet taste of revenge as justice is served upon this social sewage here before us today.

I expect we'll see a choppy first half, but by the second half we'll see gains.

God doesn't make many mistakes, ... but he made a huge one with this... walking sewage.

He is a great producer and really cool. He has done just tons of stuff and is all over the place. He really connected well with the concept, and he was really with us to make sure we were pushing ourselves and make sure we weren't slacking off.

He's being dishonest. Just let it come to the floor for a vote.

I wouldn't be surprised (if the rally continued next week), ... There's a lot of momentum that can carry into the coming weeks.

It could be seen like that. But it's really a story unto itself.

It is a bit unusual to see a brick building today, but it will work well in its location.

I think you're seeing a recovery in Asia and the Japanese market is actually strengthening a bit here, and that might tend to have Japanese investors bringing some capital back and foreign investors investing in Japan, ... So I don't see it reversing. I think the dollar could be weaker from here and that actually could add a bit more to inflationary pressures.

It is a quarter marked by negative operating leverage, but Wachovia has a strong business model and earnings power. They had nice expansion of net interest margin, and have a great deposit base.

Our players, because they travel a lot, are not shocked at tournament time playing away from home. The larger leagues that play between themselves are surprised come tournament time because they're seeing pitchers they've never seen before.

Our goal is to get to the free throw line at least 20 times a game, so 38 is a bonus. And for us to hit that many, that's very, very good.

My sister is at peace with herself. I'm proud that she came forward, never sorry for the things my sister does.

I'm impressed with how his game evolved as a 6-foot-7 kid. I'm impressed with how many ways he can score. He is a solid perimeter player and he can score inside. That makes him a pretty valuable commodity.

We've talked over the past couple of months about a company like Dell and WorldCom. These are companies with very good business plans, ... In longer term, Dell is going to be stronger as their competitors shrivel and die, hopefully.

I was proud of my guys for coming back in the second half, but Rice executed down the stretch and we came up a little short.

Whitney is the big question mark ... But Whitney also has among the very best underwriting standards in the country. It will serve them very well.

Well in this kind of market, in contrast to a couple of years ago, you have to look at valuation and you look at companies that have perhaps had some problems that have temporarily oversold the stock position, ... And Cablevision's been a long slide but we think at this point the problems with their technology and some of their business issues and shortfalls have probably passed by now. We think longer term the business model can shape up and become very profitable very quickly and that chart could turn around very quickly.

Well, I like some of the names that are offshore right now,

We wanted to make a record that challenged kids to listen to it from beginning to end. We wanted them to sit with headphones on and listen to it and read the lyrics, go back to the way it used to be.

You know it's going to be four quarters of football, ... It's not like we haven't seen them before. But there's a little more adrenaline this week.

We don't have anything to put on the wall right now, but hopefully we'll be able to put a sectional on the wall and maybe a district. Right now, I want everything focused on the fact that I'm proud of what we've done and on the kind of girls we have on this team.

We started with a bunch of scattered notes and half ideas. It was just an idea for a short story originally. I had written a lot of stuff, and when we had the idea to do a concept record, it was one of the ideas I brought to the table.

When Rice plays Mount Mansfield, it's going to be an intense, defensive battle.

We like to fly around the ball as a team. We want to get 11 hats on the ball. It's a team thing, just fly around and have fun.

We like, in energy, Williams Companies, which has been beaten down a little bit in the first quarter because of questions about accounting. But, again, I think they're a very clean company but natural gas pipeline is their business. We think, in the energy area, Exxon, which took a bad hit this week, is probably attractive at this point in time,

We put together an A team (of land planners and engineers) to work with the planning staff at the city in order to create a plan that fits into Eagle's goals and the demands of the marketplace.

There is a cyclical shift going on. Deposit growth is slowing, while commercial lending grows, led by real estate. Consumer lending is slowing, which I think is good because consumers have been spending like drunk sailors.

We are expecting a great turnout again this year.

We've had some battles with Turpin over the years. It's so much fun. It's exciting to coach in. It's fun for the parents to watch. I think it's a really good thing.

We're super excited to be touring with four awesome bands, and we're all big video gamers. I couldn't think of a better way to spend this fall than on this tour, because we definitely plan to play our fans in video games each day!

Those things happen. If we were where we were supposed to have been, it wouldn't have mattered. They were just two technically sound for us to make those mistakes.

This was a big win for us, no doubt. Both teams battled hard to the very end and we were able to hang on.

We just left two balls in the middle of the plate. It was the fourth league game in five days, we were a little tired.

We lost a lot from last year's team, and I don't want to sound like I'm disappointed in the girls at all. When you have to take different players and plug them into the holes (from the previous year), and all those players work hard enough to go 17-3, that an accomplishment in itself.

We turned the ball over quite a bit in the fourth quarter, which led to easy points for them. We just didn't handle the pressure very well.

Visually, it's a really cool ride. Not only are they fun to be on, they're visually interesting.

Brandon has been pretty good but the league as a whole is showing great balance. The teams have been beating each other with no one dominating.

Eastern Shelby County is as good an example of any place in the country.

discussed military-to-military cooperation and ways that the United States can continue to help as part of its security assistance program for Colombia.

Except for Pine Island, we have the smallest area in District 9 to draw kids from.

They always do that, ... because they think we're going to start some kind of trouble with him.

(The win) had a lot to do with getting second-chance shots.

The scarcity value for remaining franchises improved. If you're thinking to sell ... you run the risk of the credit cycle beginning to turn, and buyers being less willing to buy.

It was ugly basketball at it's best. We won the game on the free throw line.

These were people's lives. These were people's loved ones who he targeted, tortured, dehumanized and did everything he could in their last minutes of life to make them experience absolute total terror while he played God. And he's just in there in the courtroom describing it like -- as if you and I would be reading it out of a recipe book,

The shots we took, they were open looks. And when they go in, (the coaches) look like geniuses. Tonight they didn't, and we looked like something else.

The third inning was a good offensive inning for us. It really set the tone and helped us settle in.

North Fork was really feeling the pressures from its balance sheet.

Defense is what keeps us in games. That and our heart and guts. It's disappointing to lose, but you can never be unhappy with a group of girls that work as hard as these girls do.

AOL Time Warner -- you've just had a major shakeout. AOL was just not worth the value they paid, and this whole Internet portal media strategy has altered, but it hasn't gone away, ... But something new is happening. You have a new chief executive officer and the stock has been toxic waste in portfolios. Everybody's dumped it and you're not at a valuation level. It's very interesting.

A really strong employment report might do some damage here,

As far as I can tell it's not even there.

The bottom line is, we were beat tonight by a very good basketball team. I won't say better, but a very good basketball team.

As long as trade policy doesn't get in the way, Citigroup is in a great position right now. They know how to manage their bottom line, their top line. They know how to position themselves for any different phase of growth. This is a great company all around,

The most gruesome scene that we see is this woman in the cage getting her fingernails clipped. We never see any stabbings. We never see any stranglings. I very much think that you don't have to show it to scare the audience. And when I wrote that scene, everybody told me I was sick. But it's just a woman getting her nails clipped.

They have been opportunistic when opportunities present themselves ... they've probably got a couple dozen banks within the footprint that they have a high interest in if they were to sell.

They have a lot of growth characteristics, a great acquisition strategy to preserve margins. No matter what happens to the economy here in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year, (the company has) a good, broad diversified industrial clientele (and) a lot of good markets .

There was nothing in there that fit into the definition of damages that in our estimation would be covered under our policy.

There's cash on the sidelines and a lack of buying commitment as people wait until they can sort out the earnings coming in this week, ... People are waiting to hear if any new trends developed at the end of the quarter, and what they can extrapolate from that about the second and third quarters. In that kind of environment, it's easy to have a little selling.

It's a useful early indicator of where the hot money is going to go that day,

It was a tough game. The kids played hard. (Rogers) just had more speed than we do. We made a lot of mistakes in the back. They caught us flat-footed and made us pay for them.

It's a bummer, ... because we get so many emails from young kids saying stuff like, 'It's Boys Night Out, not Unisex Night Out!' It's frustrating, but we realized when we started writing that we wanted to make a record that would make us happy.

It's not just a kid's game. You can really meet some like-minded people and it's all for fun.

It's not just simple math here. It's not just one for one.

It's almost like a green light for all other area hospitals to send patients to St. Mary's,

It's going to be tough on everybody. I don't know if everybody's schedule is as crazy as ours, but we have a lot of weeks where we're going three games. It's two league games pretty much every week from here on.

It's hard to stomach that you go 17-3 and get nothing for it.

It's out of favor a little bit and not a bad place to position yourself right now, even though it's not exactly a timely short-term type of play,

It'll change from season to season, year to year. As you grow older, some young children have allergy problems that they can grow out of as they get older.

It was a good baseball game, but were unable to generate much offense. That's what we'll have to work on in practice.

They wanted to tie dye shirts out there before they ate. A little something special because it's Turpin.

They jumped out 17-5 on us. We came out slow and got in foul trouble early. We had two or three players with two fouls right off the bat.

There's the lowest form of human filth that ever crawled out of the gene pool masquerading as a human being,

The sentiment is very negative and it's exactly the mirror image of this time last year when people couldn't buy enough tech and telecom.

Not to sound arrogant, but Lafayette has never had anything like it.

The key thing about Sky is that Marty's organization has always been tightly managed and been good about credit quality. The Street likes Sky, likes the story and likes the management team.

Their togetherness, their teamwork was so good. They played a lot better as a team at the end of the first half and in the second half.

If I were spiteful, I would remind you that it is only fitting that a twisted, narcissistic psychopath, obsessed with public attention, will soon have his world reduced to an isolated solitary existence in an 80-square-foot cell doomed to languish away the rest of your miserable life, alone,

I probably shouldn't have said it on the radio, but there ain't another team in this league that could fall down by 15 points and still come right back at you. I was never nervous when we got down 15, 18 points. Not with this group. Honestly, if this group works as hard in life as they do on the basketball court, they're going to succeed. There's no quit in them.

I guess the big issue is whether you can sustain profit growth, and everybody's looking at certain factors that will influence the ability for companies to report -- well, for above consensus expectations -- a good report. I think commodity prices, rising interest rates, are having a lagged negative effect on some earnings of major leading corporations. It's not impacting this quarter, but probably the third and the fourth quarter. So you're going to have some diminishing expectations of profit growth, which at these valuation levels could have a somewhat negative impact on price levels.

It helps these guys to learn how to be less confrontational, ... It's about getting them to interact with the Iraqis in a positive way -- helping them, bringing gifts -- rather than just kicking in doors and searching their houses.

I do hope this is the end of the (rate) increases. But no one knows for sure.

For the last 5,326 days, I have wondered what it would be like to confront the walking cesspool that took my mother's precious life.

These kids have a lot of heart and a lot of determination. We have a solid chance to go deep into state. Right now, we're finding out things we need to work on and fix mistakes to get us over the top.

You want to make sure that you know the triggers and you know what's causing your asthma, what's going to cause an attack to go.
