The manager seems to get pushed aside. You listen to the unions; you listen to the political leadership because it has power. [Managers] are just supposed to go out there and do their job and approve sick leave requests and do performance appraisals, and they are sort of expected to just kind of go out there and keep their mouth shut.

William Bransford

The biggest thing is we found our groove defensively. I think we really shut them down.

Clay Fitch

We just worked together and really pushed ourselves to try to shut them down.

Jana Francis

We could sell it or shut it down and neither of those have been determined.

Dan Mcclain

She completely shut us down. As soon as she missed her serves in the other games, we knew we had a chance.

Kevin Gould

I think there's a reason he has come back to Utah, ... For some reason, I got a second chance to live and be healthy; Greg got a second chance to redeem himself. I, in my heart, think he'll come back and take it by storm. He may not. But I think he's going to come back and shut all those people up in Utah.

Amy Hall

He fractured his neck about four weeks ago and went to hospice. His body, liver, kidneys and all shut down. His mind remained sharp.

Linda Maxwell

Most people don't like to think of themselves as nuts, ... It's common to shut off the part of memory that describes illness.

Mark Mills

I think 50 percent of their goals go through him, so you have to do everything you can to try to shut him down.

Jay Pandolfo

I think these kids feel very isolated, alone, shut in and like there's not a lot of help for the emotional conflicts they're dealing with.

Jane Mcgrath

Freezing Point has always had a special place in the Chinese media. It published what couldn't be published elsewhere. It has a conscience. People have been trying to shut it down for a long time.

Pu Zhiqiang

Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.

Sir William Osler

The whole class just shut up after that.

Paul Bettencourt

We shot some bad shots. We let the crowd get into it, and they got into our heads a bit. We just shut down. For us to do that, that's not acceptable.

Brian Randle

It's hard to get wins on other courts. We have to shut out the adversity and act like it's our home court.

Cherlanda Franklin

Almost all the projections have UAB in now and if UAB isn't invited after what they did against Memphis, then they ought to shut the NCAA tournament down.

Paul Finebaum

They shut down any offense near the goal and Jennifer was just brilliant. Our midfield play was also incredible.

Sarah Hill

He pretty much worked his stuff and shut me down.

Matt Lee

The concern is they either have on hand -- or could quickly re-create the capability to produce -- vast amounts of anthrax, tons of material, compared with the several grams of material that literally shut down the U.S. postal system last year.

Jon Wolfsthal

You can do one of two things; just shut up, which is something I don't find easy, or learn an awful lot very fast which is what I tried to do.

Jane Fonda

He's definitely had an impact on the way we defend because he is a great defender. He gives us a guy who can basically shut down people. He also does things you just can't teach. Every situation, he has great instinct and he has great physical ability.

Rick Adelman

Residents often seek out our services in the winter after their heat has been shut off for not paying bills.

Anita Foster

Wink and shut their apprehensions up.

John Marston

We didn't have enough business for that line, so we shut it down at the end of 2002.

Mike Tudor

It causes kidney failure in the vultures. The kidneys shut down so the uric acid precipitates inside and on the surface of internal body organs. It destroys the animal inside and out within 24 to 72 hours.

Rick Watson

Usually, the boats sell shrimp right here on the dock. As you can see, there's no activity here right now. It's shut down. The only thing that's moving are people trying to get food, water, and clothing to the hurricane victims.

Joe Owens

You never really shut down Beverley. But we had good court recognition of wherever he was.

Ken Crump

The entrenched providers today will have to shut and write off that infrastructure as you have the transition from analog to digital. Current entrants in the market have a disconnect in their cost bases that new entrants don't have.

Adam Dener

Those are times when mentally, you have to shut the door. You have to decide that this match is mine, and you just shut the door.

Rachel Elkins

I think the big play was when they had the ball on the goal line and we stood them up three plays and shut them down. The missed field goal turned things right there.

Fred Hartsfield

Our defense played great. To shut them out for a half was a great accomplishment.

Dwight Bowling

You can tell the Kentucky Taliban they can't pass enough laws to shut us up.

Margie Phelps

We have very strong contingency plans. The critical thing for us is really to keep our customers confident in knowing that the service isn't going to get shut down.

Cfo Dennis Kavelman

With Richie going out, a lot of people thought it would hurt us. But we have a lot of guys who can shut them down. It was impressive. We know if we have a guy hit, we have somebody else who can step up and get the job done.

Bobby Crosby

It was hands down our best performance of the year. (St. Francis) had three really good athletes with dribble penetration, but with our zone defense we shut that down. It was a real team effort.

Brandy Corbett

That second half set the stage for what we were going to do as a defense that season. We shut them out and on top of that, we made big plays that helped decide the game.

Leslie Frazier

No news is bad news. Only 10 to 15 percent of (Gulf of Mexico) shut-in production is associated with permanent damage, so majority appears stuck behind infrastructure.

Dan Pickering

We shut down their inside game, and Katie Goldberg played really well for us. She broke their press and got the ball inside to Ashley.

Mark May

She was our best defensive player and she's a fierce competitor. She always shut down the other team's top player when we needed her to.

Mark Loomis

Never miss a chance to keep your mouth shut.

Robert Newton Peck

The biggest problem is the transportation of gasoline out of Gulf of Mexico. There are major pipelines that, with the power, have shut down. Without power they can't move the gas out.

Rita Johnson

I knew they were going to come at me. I took that as an assignment and shut him down.

Rashad Mccants

Stocks that skyrocketed north in a fashion never seen before will plummet south in a fashion never seen before either. A lot of companies that don't have path to profitability or a leading position in their market will be shut down rather than receiving second or third rounds of funding.

Steve Bengston

We have this romantic myth about having sex, and the minute things don't work like they used to, the tendency is to blame the partner. Couples shut down.

Judy Harris

He played really well. Especially in the third period. He made some saves on some really good chances right in front ... he shut the door and we couldn't create a break. Give him credit.

Jarret Stoll

It's pretty amazing that a business can be virtually shut down and be back up and running almost fully in 10 days.

Tom Oreck

They told me it was none of my concern and to keep my mouth shut.

Ben Carter

Realistically, I think we accomplished what we hoped to do. He is [now] a convicted felon, his business is shut down and he's going to be locked up.

Caroline Shepherd

They have a great hardware product, but they've been shut off from businesses and consumers who want to run PC programs, and now they have the software that will allow that.

Ted Schadler

Charge me with perjury and I will be on the next plane to the U.S. I'll face them in court. You cannot get clearer than that. It's put up or shut up.

George Galloway

They just flat stopped us. Our game plan got shut out.

Hugh Charles

This is the fourth station we've shut down. I told him I'd stay to the end. Well, this is the end.

Bobby Foster

Let us have a care not to disclose our hearts to those who shut up theirs against us.

Francis Beaumont

You can look at what happened this last season when the snow line stopped right about where I-80 is. The southern zone [in Illinois] reached only half of their quota and in the north zone, they had to shut down the season 10 days early because the quota was reached.

Ray Marshalla

I wasn't the guy everyone liked. I was the guy that wouldn't shut up.

Jay Mohr

Darren did an excellent job against Pryor. He shut him down. The way he played defense just lifted everyone else up.

Ryann Bradford

Reproductive rights are under siege in Arizona. These bills are going to effectively shut-down a woman's right to bear a child through the use of donated eggs. Legislators need to understand that egg donation provides the best and sometimes only hope of having a child for many couples.

Pamela Madsen

Guys don't reverse-relate. Guys are like, 'You're hot. Shut up.' Girls reverse-relate. They think a lot about relationships.

Aaron Karo

It was a good performance by Nick. He shut down the bottom of their order, and that's what he has to do.

Matt Asher

I think we did improve. It felt good to shut their team out and it helped our confidence. To allow zero points is hard, even last year when we had one of the best defenses in the country we didn't get a shut out. It's a hard thing to do.

Brett Bell

We come ready, but we have times when we're shut down. We have to play four quarters.

Tommy Coleman

They shut us down in the second half, but we sucked it up and kept plugging. It means a lot to us to come here and beat Lancaster.

Will Plyler

I wish people who have trouble communicating would just shut up.

Tom Lehrer

Patents can shut these systems down. It really does tinker with the balance of power when it comes to injunctions.

Stephen Maebius

I wanted to put our best player where we needed her. She actually plays fullback for her select team. I put her back there for speed, and she just shut them down.

Jason Herman

Shut up he explained.

Ring Lardner

That just means the door is shut. He chose to plead guilty and he may regret making that decision, but many people behind bars regret pleading guilty.

Joshua Dressler

In regard of the rich grace and wisdom of his love toward his people; for who sees not, but that it is a curse to be unready as these foolish virgins, who were therefore shut out.

Thomas Shepard

They are going to fund my defense and said they are getting an increasing number of complaints from providers, ... These providers are being told, Roll over or well roll over you. Its wrong, and they picked the wrong guy because I am not going away; I will not shut up.

Terry Bennett

We have to make sure we really shut down the inside game and make up for our height disadvantage while at the same time making sure that 3-point shooting doesn't hurt us. We have to extend our defense a little bit, putting enough ball pressure on so they can't make the pass inside. We have to show the help inside but beware of the perimeter.

Phil Mishler

We've got to shut the crowd up quickly.

Laura Davies

If a conventional pharmaceutical company had this kind of quality control, the FDA would shut them down in a heartbeat.

Bill Gurley

The danger is it's so much like an intestinal flu. The kidneys start to shut down before you know it.

Charles Carter

I just shut (the pain) out, ... I told my body to shut up and keep going.

Ben Rogers

This union has effectively decided to shut down the ports on the West Coast.

Tom Edwards

Frankly, this is a pretty open-and-shut deal.

Hiram Sasser

Before, we had no information. ... We just knew that they were shut down. And now we have limited information that things seem largely for the better.

Mine Yucel

It was too much Gross for their team. Defensively, Ian Klein helped shut down their best scorer.

Kent Youngstrom

We know why the rocket motor shut down. But what happened after that is a mystery.

Robert Farquhar

Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it.

Nicolas Cage

People say, 'Just shut the borders,' but they don't understand what that'll do to the agriculture in this country.

Doug Holland

It's a 90-day business, from mid-June to mid-September. The biggest months are July and August. I shut down from February through mid-March.

Joe Snyder

It has come to be known as sub-standard music. When people hear that they immediately shut you off.

Matt Slocum

I just shut my eyes, hit it and hoped! [on scoring his first goal for Man United since Nov '03 in Feb '05].

Roy Keane

Most of our oil production is shut in, and about 80 percent of our natural gas.

Tony Lentini

Against a good team, that window of opportunity is open for a very short time -- and it has to be shut immediately.

Bill Potoczny

Whenever he's had proper rest, he just flat out pitches for us. He was hitting his spots, and he mixed it up real well. To shut out a team like Spanish Fork is really getting the job done.

Jarod Ingersoll

When I arrived, the bank was knocking at the door, the College was in a crisis, and everyone in the place was afraid for their jobs. It was not a pretty picture. My job was clear: save it, sell it, or shut it down. Clear and obvious, but by no means simple or straightforward. I always say that you should never mistake a clear view for a short distance.

Dr. Howard Tullman

We wanted to keep it going until late April and give employees plenty of advance notice. We didn't want to just bolt the door shut.

George Lewis

It just came up all of a sudden. I was at the front door and had the kids in the closet, and I ran to the closet and shut the door and put covers over us. We locked arms.

Betty Sisk

We're going against the defending champs. We can go up there and shut a lot of people's mouths.

Deon Grant

It's always good to get the lead early. We've struggled a bit with that this year. Tonight I thought we played well once we got the lead and we shut them down.

Andy Mcdonald

She has shut us out again.

Clarence Jones

We're trying to shut down the avenue. Some of these guys are quite violent.

Steve Mcdonald

This is like a terrorist attack. With 9-11 they shut down five city blocks in New York City. This has shut down the whole city of New Orleans.

Joseph Burton

We try to stay open as long as possible to satisfy our season pass holders. But when people stop coming out, even though we'll have snow, then it's time to shut down.

Sandy Harlan

There has to be a way to shut off the motor, ... And we've done that in every flight, each one with more propellant than the last.

Jim Benson

He loved the ambience of San Francisco -- the elegance of worldliness. Right up to his death, he thought there was nothing better than going to the symphony or the opera. He loved the restaurants in San Francisco, and liked music and the arts. He was by no means a shut-in, even at 92.

John Ruffin

We don't really have a go-to guy. We're balanced offensively and we get it done defensively. It takes a lot of hard work, trying to shut down other teams, but we fuel our offense with good pressure defense.

Mike Sanchez

At the time I didn't know exactly what all the OSHA regulations were, but I knew my shop was safe and I knew I would never ask my guys to do anything I wasn't comfortable doing myself. I don't think I slept more than three or four hours in the days after I got that call. I was afraid they were going to shut me down.

Tim Alibozek

We love the challenge. I've always been that way. It's a nice barometer for us. They may shut us out. Nobody in the gym will think we can win and that's the most fun to play a game, when no one thinks you can win.

Don Davidson

Their pitcher did a good job and he just shut us down.

Jack O'keefe

This crew shut him down.

Grady Bennett

He shut us down for awhile. But when you're facing 56 shots, eventually you are going to wear down.

Chad Cassel

In retrospect it was a kind of death of my spirit, the ability to shut off the emotions and feelings I felt for the animals and replace them with a steely resolve to be a man.

Harold Brown

Tabitha was trying to shut Mrs. Wallace up, because she was just blabbering and blabbering, ... But [the spell] backfired and caused an earthquake.

Kathleen Noone

There comes a time when you have to shut it off, let it go, and say it's not going to happen.

Art Shell

Basically, Woods shut us down in the middle.

Jimmy Epperly

That was a good high school baseball game. Smith did a good job. But (Hunter) King also threw a real good game. We've been hot but he shut us down.

Mick Nunez

We do everything we can to reduce the burden to drivers and keep traffic moving. Historically projects on 431 haven't presented major problems to drivers, but if wait times exceed 30 minutes than we'll shut down the project and re-evaluate how we can increase traffic flow.

Reid Kiser

You can't shut yourself off from hearing it, ... I've heard everything from late first round to fifth or sixth. I really can't think about that now. All I can think about now is having a good year. This is my senior year. In my senior year of high school I had no offers. So it doesn't make a difference to me what anyone says about me now. I have to go out and play hard and prove myself once again.

Bruce Gradkowski

We came out so fired up against them because we're determined not to lose anymore. I think we played great defense especially in the low post. Colorado State's got the best post players in the conference, and we shut them down.

Abbie Letz

I feel like this opens a lot of doors for me that were shut. I'll be able to manage my life, get my life back.

Carla Johnson

She's got no case. Never has and never will. If Ms. Pirro had kept her mouth shut, none of this would have happened.

Mike Ramsey

Our game plan was to bend and not break. After (Paul VI's first touchdown), we shut them down in the first half.

Tony Nicolino

Many of these companies have to go back to the public markets on a fairly regular basis to support their operations. If they can't do a financing, they run the risk of having to shut the doors.

Timothy Woodward

After this sell-off, farmers have slammed the door shut on new sales. Processors will have to bid more to get any immediate supplies.

Dave Marshall

Words are not enough. It is time for rich-country governments to stump up or shut up.

Mark Curtis

'Railroading in a barn' was the expression they used, ... They'd get all the way here, and the view was shut out. The sheds were not very popular for tourism.

Gordon Richards

The key for us is to shut down their top line. They scored all the goals in the first round.

Jason Maleyko

We don't have a lot of secrets left, so everybody's got to step up. I think we have enough weapons that they can't key on one kid to shut us down. It's pretty much my best athletes against your best athletes.

Mark Haley

They're extremely athletic and they do a great job with their traps and presses. They are extremely aggressive and they get out in transition better than anybody in the country. And they are really well balanced. You can't just shut down one person.

Gail Goestenkors

I would say (the process has) frozen shut. I want to hear what they've done, not what they're going to do.

Paul Asfour

Was it a success or a failure? On one hand, it was a failure because it didn't shut down all economic activity in California. On the other hand, it is a success because nobody really felt like this was an unreasonable act of civil disobedience.

David Shirk

I think people who work here know we have high expectations for their attendance in support of our reliability needs. Same thing that we find in snowstorms and floods ? people always try to find a way to work at least until the roadways are shut down.

Dave Messing

I've been with the department for 31-years and aside of major accidents I've never seen the highway shut down, but the rain we had was just enormous.

Carl Bard

Maybe [the second half] will be a little kick start here going into the new year. Let's shut them down and be aggressive on the offensive end.

Mike Rhoades

Relative to last year, I'd say we are further from an eruption. Those thousands of very deep earthquakes more or less shut off at the beginning of the year. We're still getting more than normal but certainly nothing like in 2004.

Mike Poland

Felix has handled it all extremely well. He's kept his mouth shut, he's taken the abuse from the veterans, and he's gone out and done his job. It's been an abnormal amount of focus on someone who's a 19-year-old kid.

Dan Rohn

Shut up, kids! Don't make me pull this car over. I'll do it! I'll do it!

Mike Helton

Tonight our defense was just fantastic. The girls did everything we asked them to and they just worked really hard. The last time we played Knoxville, they scored something like 62 points on us, but tonight - due to the intensity the girls showed - we were able to shut down everything they tried to do.

Mike Bradford

There's not one guy in this league who can shut him down all by himself. There really isn't. You really have to plan well against him because he's a weapon.

Anthony Becht

It is the first time in 10 years that we have shut our doors [as a company].

Benjamin Bequer

Never in my life have I ever been accused of not talking. Dan and I both ad lib. Neither one of us can keep our mouth shut.

Merv Adams

We have started shutting down our Texas City refinery this morning and expect it to be completely shut by later today.

Linda Casey

If you want to roll the dice, roll with Fleet. If they screw up, they're sold. Its put up or shut up time.

Anthony Polini

When we shut down our missing persons operation, all of a sudden here they come... dropping in all these files. Now we have to re-task people. We're trying to work it in with our regular duties.

Gary Hargrove

You look out there, ... and there aren't too many true aces out there that are going to shut you down.

Jason Marquis

Would he have shut down the basketball team if precisely the same allegation was made by precisely the same person. I don't think they would have.

Joe Baden

They just chipped away. They came at us every inning. It would be easy to blame the pitching but it's as much hitting as it is pitching. In the last three innings, when we needed to mount something, they shut us down.

Chuck Romig

It's a pretty significant step and the reason we are doing it is that we consider it an open and shut case.

Paul Fletcher

Look, just tell me where that lemon came from and I'll shut up and go away.

Ricky Gervais

It could really have a major impact if we have a couple of storms go through there and shut in production, ... A few days of shut-in production isn't going to mean much. But if we have another Ivan, which knocked off some production for months last year, it could be significant.

Bruce Bell

We shot that first film $500 to $1,000 at a time. We would shut down and start up again several months later after we got another $1,000. And God bless our cast for sticking with us. Allison's daughter was in the film and she grew out of her wardrobe.

Kurt Voss

This is the time in our season when we shut down and continue to practice through meets. We anticipate a drop in the national rankings, but we are focusing on the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments.

Miles Avery

One of my co-workers said that cricket lovers were naturally anally retentive. I told him to shut up and to never use my tea mug for coffee again.

Dave Penney

There is no way to shut Michelle down completely. I've never seen a team take her totally out of a game.

Kael Ashton

Shut up and drive.

Frank Martin

The one happiness is to shut one's door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life.

Eleanora Duse

The provincial government has set up a special team to investigate the accusations of pollution and shut down those chemical plants thought responsible.

Xinhua News Agency

This isn't a shut case. It's not easy to do something like that, I know. Yeah, he's made some mistakes but a lot of people have. We're just going to have to see how it plays out.

Jay Gibbons

This kind of thing it just gives us a bad name, frightens people from investing — it may make one of the refineries shut down and leave Hawaii, ... It reduces competition and does all harm but doesn't gain us anything.

Fereidun Fesharaki

As much as the old site has served us well and as we continue to develop, we need to shut down the old and continue the new. I think people will notice a dramatic difference as soon as they log on.

Hayne Ellis

They have three of the top forwards in the nation playing together and it's important that we shut that line down.

Brady Leisenring

I'm just going to tell the guys that it's put-up or shut-up now.

David Noel

Our only option was to shut down operations and eliminate positions.

Walt Dabney

And I found that when I built my own place and just shut the door, the creativity was endless.

Billy Sherwood

Flint used to be a powerful place. One of the places they always wanted to shut down was Flint. Some of the strongest unions came from where? Flint.

Willie Jenkins

To really make this work, you have to close down some of the inefficient firms that are not going to be able to repay their debt to banks. To date, the state or the party has not had the will to shut down many of these firms.

Nicholas Lardy

"I think people talk too much anyway. Sometimes people are talking to me and in my mind I'm just like "shut up, shut up, shut up...blah blah blah blah blaaaaah."

Ellen DeGeneres

While the possibility is not zero percent, we don't think the (BlackBerry) service is going to be shut down.

Ellen Daley

Yes, scary. And people were telling them to 'just shut up,' and cursed at them.

Elizabeth Watson

They just want to shut down the process.

Elizabeth Thompson

The best translations cannot convey to us the strength and exquisite delicacy of thought in its native garb, and he to whom such books are shut flounders about in outer darkness.

Edwin Booth

Other than the penalties (six for 57 yards), I was very happy with our performance. Our execution and defense was very good. I'm happy with being able to shut out Lakeview.

Ed Greenman

All those sermons and passions you've generated, now's the time to put up or shut up for every faith or religious community here. Are you willing to coordinate and cooperate with other people and other denominations? If you're not, sit down.

Fred Young

That opens it up. Lisa's been coming on. She's been battling a leg problem all year and she was worrying that the doctor might shut her down for the year. She got the OK last Monday that it's not a stress fracture, and all of a sudden she's shooting the heck out of the ball.

Ed Swanson

That's the last thing we need is to see another refinery shut out. We have a tight situation without this storm existing and now you add to this another storm, that could cause financial devastation.

Ed Silliere

This is why it's so important to us to try to get the Klamath restored. We're talking about most of Oregon and California being shut down by this.

Zeke Grader

It hurts, but you've got to move on and keep playing. The season can't shut down because someone gets hurt.

Eugene S. Wilson

Defensively we stopped their penetration, shut down any inside presence and dominated the glass.

Eric Snider

It we could shut them down offensively and keep them from scoring very many points at all, we have a real great shot at winning.

Eric Smith

That's the great part about this team. Not only do we all get along so great, but you can't shut just one or two of us down. There's always somebody ready to step up.

Eric Meyer

It is getting to that point in the year where you have to start playing your best basketball. Not that we have been messing around, but it's time to get serious. We are nine days to the end of the regular season and it is time to put up or shut up and I am challenging these guys to put it up.

Eric Long

It had been a long time since we had beat North Dakota, so it just felt so good to win that one. It was big. I think the most amazing thing was our defense. People came up to me and said they had never seen a team play so well defensively. We just shut them down.

Erika Quigley

We feed real well off the energy of the crowd because it's so loud. It's a good feeling to go in somewhere, get a win and just basically shut them up.

Eric Coleman

We're expecting to have some work done this fall and shut down through the winter.

Eric Williams

If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.

Emile Zola
