You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

I was praying it wouldn't go in. We missed free throws down the wire that we should have had and defensively we made some mistakes and they exploited them. I'm just glad to be where we're at. The girls have worked hard.

Laura Romo

We were separated by the fire and I tried to hop a fence in the bone yard, where old bikes were, but the top had barbed wire. Luckily, his dog chased him down and was trying to knock him down while he was still on fire. A neighbor squirted him with a hose, but he was burned pretty bad.

Gary Dellaverson

I started a freshman, three sophomore and a junior and we just took the second-place team close to the wire. Everyone contributed off the bench and this was a giant step for our program. We are 1-16 but we are improving and we played with these guys that are 9-3 in the league. We pretty much took their crowd out of the game.

Grady Mccluskey

There could be some negatives over time. It's a high-wire act and no American city lately has absorbed anywhere near this number of people so quickly.

Bobby Kielty

I sat right off the leader and was in a good spot to get by her in the stretch, which my [mare] did just briefly. But right at the wire, she came back and nipped us. It was a great race for both of them.

Robby Albarado

You look at our series with Traverse City, and they were all very close, very tight games without exception. I expect this will be a terrific series, right down to the wire. Scotty and Mike (Stapleton) do a great job of coaching up there, and they'll have their guys ready to go. This one could go the distance.

Ron Rolston

We had fully repaired the lines. Anytime anything comes in contact with a wire, you always assume it is energized.

Karen Ryan

A bikini is like a barbed-wire fence. It protects the property without obstructing the view.

Joey Adams

The soul that is attached to anything however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union.

St. John Of The Cross

Art Garfunkel

'The Wire,' 'Boomtown,' 'CSI Miami.' There's a lot of great shows. We are in the golden era of television, we hoped for the best, and we got in.

In New Jersey, there are not only statutes making it a crime for law enforcement to leak wire tapped information, but there is also a statute that entitles a person who is damaged by such leaks to recover punitive damages.

It was a lot closer than 35-7. Venice deserves a lot of credit. They are well-coached and I respect them. They played us down to the wire.

Doug Foote

It was a typical Stow-Barberton game. Back-and-forth, down-to-the wire, that's how they all are.

When we hit the wire I wouldn't have bet money that we got there.

Jim Greenawald

It feels very good (to have the CCL clinched). Last year we had to go to the wire with Ready. This year to get it with two games left in an eight-game season is great.

Greg Cronin

With the winter to summer transition, there's no air mattress below the high wire as far as surplus gas is concerned.

Tom Purtzer

I'm sure Lucille doesn't have one wire hanger in her closet.

Jessica Walter

We knew it was going to go down to the wire. A couple of swing matches didn't go our way. They were ready to wrestle. They were the better team tonight.

Kurt Kuchenbrod

I just think this is going to be a game that goes down to the wire. I don't know what the score's going to be, but I think the offense and the defense are going to have to play continually through four quarters. I don't think by the end of the third quarter the game's going to be decided.

Brad Butler

Agreements on measures designed to help stop future genocides and on reforms to the United Nations will go right down to the wire.

This includes standing up to the US and the Non-Aligned Movement who are set to block key measures like those designed to prevent future genocides.

Jo Leadbeater

We think athletically and experience-wise we should match up really well, but obviously Amarillo Arbor feels the same way. We're expecting a one or two-point game going right down to the wire, and the last team that has the ball will probably win the game.

Jon Cregor

No matter how the qualification rounds work out, it's interesting how close the matches get in the elimination rounds. They all seem to come right down to the wire and every match means a lot.

David Izzo

Wilton is a good team. They took Waldorf down to the wire before losing by five last week.

Steve Kellar

We went in there short-handed. We competed and got it down to the wire. Those are the games where you have to figure out a way to make a big shot or get a big stop. We've been able to compete with very good teams but not been able to get over the hump.

Brian Gregory

We were so tense . . . I don't think we ever did relax and get in the flow of Canyon View basketball. But at the same time we did the things that you have to do be successful ? you guard, you rebound, you're unselfish and you make free throws going down the wire.

Steve Hodson

There is huge potential for this kind of technology in Africa, ... It's new, but it's extremely appropriate because there are no copper-wire phone lines in much of Africa, and half the people there have never touched a phone - and never will. People are already contacting us about getting into the systems that are going up, but the question is the rate to do it so it remains sustainable.

Mark Bennett

Open the hood of a hybrid car, and you'll see the copper wire in its electric motor.

Jerry Young

This is the exciting part of the year. Now it's coming down to the wire.

Dave Clark

It's getting down to the wire but you shouldn't put any more added pressure than there is already. You try to get noticed when you're a rookie, and playing hard is how you get noticed around here.

Skip Schumaker

Sprint is a leading provider of integrated voice and data services to customers, whether they are at their desk, at home or away from the office. IP Voice Connect is a building block for us to deliver a converged wireless and wire line customer experience.

Randy Ritter

There's a whole army of people looking after you to make sure that you're not in any kind of danger. I mean, even when you're up swinging off a wire, there's people there checking everything. Everything is double checked and triple checked before you go anywhere near it. I'm not one of those actors who gets any pleasure out of doing their own stunts.

Alfred Molina

It came down to the wire and Utah made some really good plays.

Dave Rose

They can keep their heads up because they took the No. 1 team in the country down to the wire.

Adam Gontier

There was a screen wire over some of them like he was trying to keep birds away.

I was trying to watch all three of them. I was focused on the 8 (First Wicked Lady) and then I glanced back because the colt was in the lead. Then I watched him go all the way to the wire.

John Paul Jones

Sir one more comment like that and I will strangle you with my microphone wire!

Adam Sandler

It was a hard fought match. Every court was well contested on both sides. It was a good match all around. It's tough to lose when you fight like these kids did down to the wire.

Dave Higgs

We played really well. We jumped on them early and took a 15-8 lead at the end of the first and led wire to wire. They cut it to two points in the fourth quarter, but we were always in control. We went 12 for 26 from the (free throw) line and still won by 7 - not bad.

Charlie Stewart

This promotion is a reflection of the outstanding job Gregg has done managing an international sales force of almost one hundred people. He has played the lead role in opening Business Wire offices in London, Paris, Frankfurt and Tokyo and extending the Business Wire brand internationally.

Cathy Baron Tamraz

The lifeblood of our business is that R&D spend. There's nothing that flows through a pipe or down a wire or anything else. We have to continuously create new innovation that lets people do something they didn't think they could do the day before.

Steve Ballmer

It's always going to be a tough game. Toussaint Tyler played wire-to-wire, him and Boyce. Those guys are warriors.

John Callaghan

I think in a lot of ways this is very typical of what happens in this type of session. It's just the nature of things that big, important pieces of legislation always go down to the wire, and there are several of those types of things in this session.

Barry Erwin

He made me work harder than I think I really had to because he wasn't going to let them by. I was asking him for everything, but obviously he had something left because he felt that horse [Pair of Kings] coming?the horse kind of carried him to the wire.

Corey Lanerie

Under the hood, I have red wire loom over most of the hoses and lines. I sent the valve cover, part of the air intake and the back dash off and had all of them chromed. Directly under the hood itself, I have made a red cover that matches the trunk exactly, bringing the car together as a whole.

Randy Ross

[* Add Rep. Richard Baker to the list of congressional Republicans who have made unfortunate comments about hurricane victims -- although he's the first we know of from Louisiana. The Wall Street Journal's] Washington Wire ... We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did.

Richard Baker

But we want to give the Air Force the option of exploring all of their thought processes with (the Pentagon) and not have to cross a trip wire from which there is no return.

John Sams

The contest went clear down to the wire. Good thing we made the foul shots or we would have been on the losing end.

Darren Lightle

It was a horrible time. Dirt drifted up and covered barbed-wire fences. Conditions were much worse than they are today because we have learned a lot about soil conservation in 70 years.

Bill Green

Just because fish are there doesn't mean the platform constitutes habitat. That's like taking a picture of birds on a telephone wire and saying it's essential habitat.

Linda Krop

I think they're going to be tough. That stuff we did during the regular season doesn't even matter. That's nothing. We expect nothing but a tight, nail-biting game that's going to go right down to the wire.

Gordon Hartwell

That's how each opponent is going to view us now going down the stretch. It's down to the wire for a lot of people, and they need a big win. We've got to realize we need that win just as bad, and we're going to go out and compete as hard as we can.

Dane Bradshaw

This is the kind of game you want when you're in the third round of the playoffs — one that goes right down to the wire.

Pam Player

Queensland had a lot of injuries near the end and showed a lot of ticker to take it down to the wire.

Chris Whitaker

They begin to fire together. The more they fire together, the more they wire together.

Alfred Molina

This merger will allow us to move to a single brand for wire line, for wireless, for business and consumer, and that's AT&T. A single brand is much more cost-efficient and far more effective.

Randall Stephenson

There is a lull to the very air of the place, the creaking of the tall teak forests, the lapping of the canals, the gentle swaying of the little kingfishers who sit like neat blue idols on almost every telegraph wire.

James Morris

[Telluride's programming often goes down to the wire, and additional titles could materialize. There are rumors of late-breaking sneak screenings that could include Martin Scorsese 's 3-1/2-hour Bob Dylan documentary] No Direction Home, ... Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan at the Crossroads.

Greil Marcus

TPA is given according to a fairly rigid cookbook of timing. It's a high-wire act. Small screw-ups in timing can have important consequences.

David Vorchheimer

Our American forebears included Cotton Mather and Oliver Wolcott, who signed the Declaration of Independence, and we were told that a strong wire of character stretched from them through all generations of our family.

Sister Parish

As I studied CIGS systems, I began to realize that it had big advantages for manufacturing. Silicon solar cells are essentially printed-circuit boards. You build the solar cells on silicon wafers and then solder and wire them together in panels. As a thin-film technology, CIGS can use the type of lithography and deposition processes used in integrated circuits.

Billy Stanbery

We'd like to open a little bigger lead so we're not having to take it down to the wire.

Mark Loretta

(Displaying) this collection changed the shape and destiny of this museum. When it hits the national wire and people see what is happening in Winona, they will be taken with it.

Don Shelby

That's like asking you to pick your favorite child... I do however, think Bird on a Wire was one of my finest works. Oscar caliber.

Mel Gibson

Mulch is a natural product. Wire and glass in the mulch aren't appropriate.

Sue Reyzlik

This promotion is a reflection of the outstanding job Neal has done managing the Atlanta region and also the outstanding role he has played mentoring a large group of Business Wire managers. He has consistently demonstrated a very creative approach to both sales and management and has built a very successful and loyal client base over the past 14 years.

Cathy Baron Tamraz

Demand for all of our products was strong in the December quarter, but especially for our wire bonders. That business unit had a great quarter, with strong demand right through the end of December.

Scott Kulicke

We are seeing nice traffic up to the last minute. We think (the holiday season) is going right down to the wire.

Gail Lavielle

We were just a call or a play away (from winning). We took the No. 2 team (in Class 4A) to the wire.

Josh Kendrick

The Iranians are taking this right down to the wire.

David Thurtell

LYRE, n. An ancient instrument of torture. The word is now used in a figurative sense to denote the poetic faculty, as in the following fiery lines of our great poet, Ella Wheeler Wilcox: I sit astride Parnassus with my lyre, And pick with care the disobedient wire. That stupid shepherd lolling on his crook With deaf attention scarcely deigns to look. I bide my time, .

Ambrose Bierce

There are three reasons to deploy wireless. You can't install wire, for whatever reason. Wireless is cheaper over a given time. Or you need mobility.

Craig Mathias

That tank we have to do a number of things to, at the minimum removing and replacing the PAL ramps, re-working the bipod closeout area where we think the wire may have actually allowed cryogenic ingestion of air to condense in an area, ... We have a number of things that we've got to do before we're ready to do that work.

Wayne Hale

Basically, it's something that's been done in the circuses, based on the old high-wire acts, ... It's like family entertainment, this one.

David Blaine

I think we've all had problems. We're certainly going to be down to the wire. We've been programming now for about six months virtually seven days a week. We have outside consultants, inside guys, everybody is working on this.

Buzzy Geduld

Give Westbrook credit. Those kids play hard. They don't quit. They did the same thing to us at our place when they got us. They play tough wire-to-wire. They could have rolled over. Teams are well-coached in this conference and they all play hard every night. And if you don't play hard for 32 minutes you're not going to get a W.

John Kuckel

Both of those losses came down to the wire. I think the girls have been doing good things and have been playing hard.

Beth Young

There were some good matches, ... No. 1 singles was a long match and went down to the wire. J.J. McLeod at No. 3 really toughed out a three-setter.

Asher Cohen

Consumers should never wire money to someone they do not know.

Larry Long

Once the concentration camps and the hell-holes of the world were in darkness. Now they are lit by the light of the Amnesty candle; the candle in barbed wire. When I first lit the Amnesty candle, I had in mind the old Chinese proverb: 'Better light a candle than curse the darkness.'

Peter Benenson

The market for pilots and other airline professionals is soft, and that's an understatement. They played it down to the wire, but there is still hope for Delta, and we will see what happens next few months.

Anthony Sabino

Careful as a naked man climbin' a barbed wire fence.

Cowboy Proverb

One article that says privacy will be protected is not enough. We want clear language in each article stating privacy is important. National governments will pick and choose. They will go to wire-tapping first and get to Article 15 later.

Gus Hosein

If we can identify data in cross-border wire transfer records that helps protect economic and national security and find a workable way to efficiently collect the data ... it will enormously strengthen our efforts.

Robert Werner

The race in the Delta is going to be a legitimate wire-to-wire race. The Espy name is big over there. Thompson will have to run harder than he has in the past.

Marty Wiseman

It was down to the wire, so it was almost a relief. I look forward to working with all the different board members.

Arlene Silveira

They scrapped and clawed and hit some big threes. It was a typical Flat Rock-CC game, right down to the wire.

Andy Mangin

They played a good game. They came in our house and played us to the wire basically, but a win is a win for us.

Reggie Mcneal

These were two very good teams that played right down to the wire. We had our chances. We were in a good position to win, but they made some big shots at the end of regulation.

Brian Mcdermott

We played good ball, took them to the wire. You have to be proud of the kids because they're trying real hard and they put 100 percent into the game. We just got off to a way too slow start and we had a few too many turnovers. What do you do?

Rockie Bork

When people get down to the wire, they're often doing what's easiest.

Bob Scharin

It's tough when you give yourself that big of a hole to come back from. Anytime a team gets a big lead early, it can go two ways. It becomes even more of a blowout or it came down to the wire. It's just a matter of sticking with it.

Pat Garrity

Even before we moved to England we thought we were like a British band. We wanted to be The Who and I kind of admired Mick Jagger, ... We used to play the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles. I would be wheeled on stage in a little ocean liner we made out of wire and papier-mâché, waving hello to the crowd of four or even five people. That's when we realised maybe we were not going to be The Who.

Russell Mael

It was really down to the wire.

Phil Uher

I knew we had it at the wire. I was wondering why it took so long to put up the finish. Now, at the eighth pole I did not know I had it. But Dale's a great horseman. They're always ready and always have that little bit extra when you need it.

Mark Guidry

He ran a fantastic race. Blood and guts all the way to the wire. He's a fantastic racehorse. I wasn't looking for the lead, but my horse was keen and I didn't want to get into a fight with him. When he got alone, he idled better and when company joined him, he fought on again. It was a very game performance.

Richard Migliore

It still looks as though it's gonna go down to the wire, ... and the campaign finance reform plan did nothing to change that. People still think of John McCain as the campaign finance reform candidate.

John Dickerson

I think this is an indication of the strength and quality of the Atlantic League. The teams in our league have continued to offer quality, affordable family entertainment and, with the playoff races coming down to the wire, our fans have continued to show great support.

Joe Klein

They're activated by pulling -- which breaks a little valve or wire or something up there -- and if all of them that we find happen to have broken wires, then that's a pretty good indication that they were deployed.

Bob Benzon

We played the toughest team in the league today, and we took them to the wire.

Bryan Davis

The money came in a little slower this year than in previous years because of fears of economic downturn, Katrina, high gas prices. It came right down to the wire this year.

Ronnie Hepperly

I'd be surprised if oil ticks much lower. Stocks are good, but you only have to have Iran start to threaten the loss of barrels. I expect the Iranians to take this to the wire.

David Thurtell

[Brannon Braga, co-creator and executive producer of CBS' upcoming SF suspense thriller, Threshold , told SCI FI Wire that the show will not be shy in explaining up front what its aliens are doing.] It's bioforming, ... They're sending out this bizarre technological signal that mutates our DNA, [turning us] into them. There are no aliens. They're turning us into them.

Star Trek

We led wire-to-wire, but it came down to the end and we got the last shot. To give credit, Chehalis is a physical basketball team. There was a lot of banging and pushing. We held our own, but it was not an easy night to do that.

Randy Hancock

We also know that only wire-line competition reduces cable rates and enhances service. Therefore, let there be no mistake, local governments want competition, as fast and as much as the market and some state laws will sustain.

Marilyn Praisner

It's not disappointing on who we lose to, it's just how we lose. We let that one slip away. We had a point in our hands and it came down to the wire and they had what it takes to win.

Andrew Leach

[Accessories are often incorporated into the clothing, rather than using much jewelry.] I have some little leather collars that sort of stick up, ... They are separate and meet and they stand up and then there's a cord that comes around, and you just tie them on. The only jewelry we're using is like silver wire, which we have done in the studio, and making it in very abstract forms.

Geoffrey Beene

I knew it would be a close game right down to the wire. I knew one team would pull it off, and I'm just glad it was us this time.

Kory Shiles

This promotion is a reflection of the outstanding job Neil has done positioning Business Wire as truly the global leader in news distribution. He has built Business Wire's global distribution network to an unsurpassed level and has initiated myriad exclusive distribution agreements for the company throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

It was just a great run. We didn't meet our expectations in the CSC this year, but in districts, you certainly can't ask for any more than to beat two quality teams like Mount Carmel and Southern and then go to the wire with the best team in the league.

John Vaji

In a perfect world, we'd be doing a Stones concert with tons of smoke. Yeah. But typically it's just us and a few music stands and a wire or two for our instruments. It's not about having a big sound or knocking people out of the room. It's more about bringing it to your face.

Mary Rowell

We believe we reached a good general framework for obtaining a contract, but right now we're down to the wire. I'm still optimistic that we'll get it done in a few days but I'm not sure we'll get it done today.

Eric Rabe

There's going to be some speed in front of him and that should give him a chance to relax. If he's going to run in the Kentucky Derby, that's what you're going to need to do. You don't usually win the Derby wire to wire.

Ernie Paragallo

Three out of our last four contests came down to the wire. That is why college basketball is the greatest sport in the world. You have to play every night.

[Emmanuelle Vaugier told SCI FI Wire that she's completed production on House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim , a follow-up to Uwe Boll's much-derided House of the Dead , which was based on the video game of the same name.] That was fun, ... We had a good time on that one. [Actor-turned-director] Mike Hurst directed it, and Andy Hurst, his brother, did the second unit.

Emmanuelle Vaugier

We knew the freshman division was going to come down to the wire. We finished second to Ellison in the mile relay and that was the difference. I'm not at all disappointed. All our guys competed hard and I'm pretty proud of them.
