Mark Sausville

Allen Rossi

Brady Bogart
I think the Bank of Canada sees these manufacturing losses as a smooth and necessary adjustment.
Ted Carmichael
It's a good thing that we can come together. Communication is about building bridges, not walls. A lot of times we suppose things. All that does is make it more complicated.

Juan Lazcano

Everything just went so smooth from the start. Even when we were down $300,000 in '96-'97, we had been successful for so long, we never doubted.
Mike Aponte
He had the run of his life. Smooth and big, with landings that were on the money.
Andrew Gilbert

Jim Fassel

John Kennaday
[Anyway,] Awkward T.V. Moments ... I decided at the last second that I just had to have my laptop. Smooth move, Columbo.

Jose Ramirez

Barbara Marcin
I made up my mind that I was going to leave before the end of the year, and I wanted to give enough notice so that the transition to the next administrator can be as smooth as we can make it.
Alice Desouza
It's interesting that at the very end of the program, after such a smooth (flight) for Andy, that we had this problem occur with the motion-control system. It's frustrating to a certain extent, but, hey, maybe it's our signature. It certainly adds some drama to it.
Frank Culbertson
He was so raw, he needed a lot of work on his game. He's such a smooth player now, but anyone that knew him back then can really admire how he's developed.

Melissa Malobabich
If we all tried to make other people's paths easy, our own feet would have a smooth even place to walk on.

We are confident a review of the facts will show that our company made a decision not to enter into a long-term formal relationship with Leon County after a thorough examination of our previous working relationship with the county.

Ken Fields
Divorce should be the last possible option, rather than something we should be smoothing the passage to.

Adrian Jones
Although everything is smooth so far, all scientific and technological staff need to be cautious.
Xinhua News Agency
I think Brianna had the great fortune of playing at A&M and playing for (former A&M coach) David Fitzgerald, so her transition there was pretty smooth. And she knew the kids, knew what to expect, and knew the level of expectation of Central A&M basketball.

They all said it was a smooth landing, but they could sense a lack of deceleration.
Robert Benzon
Two capsules here, three capsules there. It sounds like nothing, but when they're HIV meds, they're expensive. So I'm praying to God it's going to even out. Everyone had an expectation that this was going to be a smooth transition, but it hasn't been. Not even close.
Rose Ferlita
He can get in and out [of cuts], can create some separation, he's a smooth guy. He's got great hands... Quite possibly, his best years are in front of him.
Marty Mornhinweg
Optical networking is exploding, and the market will experience tremendous growth during the next decade.

Customers cannot accurately calculate the exact rate of adoption, and the inevitable result is inventory imbalances.
Drew Peck
It's been really smooth and a lot of fun. We all just piled up on the bus together. Everybody gets along great.

The process will take at least five months, so we can have a smooth operation in organising the management and a stable increase in our business in domestic and international markets.

Malcolm Colbert
We work hard when we're not on the runway, and it's evident when we have shows because our walks, turns and clothes are flawless. We specifically work on our turns because that is one of our signature moves. They are clean, quick and smooth. Nobody turns like we do.
