We had nine pails of candy for Halloween, now we are down to one. They go for a lot of the candy mixes. I think that they buy them for themselves sometimes.
Brenda Smith
Sometimes our girls tend to lose concentration, but they were able to stay focused for nine innings, which is a big deal. It was a tough game all nine innings.
Amber Starkey
The parts of that market where we compete are both nine billion euros.
Henning Kagermann
Got off to a great start, then started missing fairways. Really sloppy on the back nine.
Peter Jacobsen
They made some tough shots and we got a little frustrated. We weren't getting calls on one end, I think there was a nine-and-a-half minute stretch where they didn't have a defensive foul. You don't see that too often.
Josh Nauman
We only had nine guys entered and we got six through. Of course, it would have been nice to have gotten everybody through, but that's not bad odds.
Steve Smerz
I hit the ball really well today. I was 5-under through nine holes so I had things going pretty well. I putted better today after not holing much of anything the first two days.
Nick Flanagan
I got a little present. I'm just glad we got the win. It's a big deal in Milton. We have great fans, the people love basketball and we haven't had a team like this in nine years.
Adam Allen
After an outstanding first nine months, we now look forward with confidence to a successful conclusion to 2005, and to continued success in 2006.

We would liked to have held them to eight or nine.
Keith Freeman

Sarah Oldmixon
The lines and dimensions in the cases aren't based on your normal 8-by-10 (prints) but might be three by nine. These are natural dimensions and that helps it feel right.
Steve Mann
By nine o'clock every station was open.
Brigalia Bam
If everybody one through nine hits, we can do a lot of damage. The last couple of games, guys have been getting on base, been pretty clutch driving in runs.
Garrett Jones
It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.
Jane Austen
Jo really exploded in the last nine or 10 games.
Larry Shyatt
I expected a tough game. They're much-improved. For nine batters, we didn't hit the ball. That's three innings you lost.
Glenn Rutenbar
Tiger is the key to validating your success. You can get nine of the top 10 players, but if you don't get him ...
Cliff Danley
The cynics are right nine times out of ten.
H. L. Mencken
My Roommate's Gun Has Nine Bullets...
Gene Weingarten
Never refuse any advance of friendship, for if nine out of ten bring you nothing, one alone may repay you.
Madame de Tencin
If you've got to depend on one guy in baseball, you're not going to survive. It's not like football - you can't carry the ball 30 times a game . . . You get one out of nine. You've got to be solid.
Charlie Smythers
I struggled some on my front nine today. Its a course you need to keep the ball in play. It is a good start, anything in the 60s is good.
David Eger
After nine bank robberies ... it looks familiar after a while.
Robbie Burroughs
We didn't execute very well. I have not done a good job in getting us to where we're executing well enough and I thought that made the difference. Then we went to the foul line and we're [6-15] and we lose by nine. But this was a good tournament for us and we felt good about getting to the finals.
Gary Meyer
Yesterday, I told the girls we needed to score nine goals to win. That's exactly what we did. We knew we were going to need a little more offense in the playoffs.
Chris Murin
I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose. If we were beaten, Hearts would move nine points in front of us and that would maybe be too much to catch up. A win would be fantastic but a draw would not be terrible for us.
Thomas Buffel
We are nine points behind them and must hope they slip up.
Allan Moore
It does appear to be an interesting case, and we want to know what new evidence the government has been able to come upon in the last nine years that brings this matter to a grand jury now, and eventually to open court.
William Massey
He lost nine months of work, and in that time I was able to make all the connections I needed.
Bill Austin
He played great on the first nine holes. That's good golf and you can't control that.
Michael Campbell
The thing about him is he's so unselfish. He's only averaging about nine or 10 shots a game.
John O'connell
I experienced a lot, and achieved nearly everything I wanted. I can enjoy that today. Go to bed at nine in the evening, because my child wakes up around seven, without having the feeling that I missed or are missing something.
Thomas Kretschmann
We have closed down nine gas wells due to the disruption in gas supply to the power plant.
Nripen Bharali
I did 24 years in the Army, I got a son who's got 25 years in and a daughter with about eight or nine years in. I don't worry about things. If your time comes, you're going.
David Clay
The whole point is to benefit Manitobans immediately. But these don't kick in until next year and we don't know what the finances are going to be in nine months.
Adrienne Batra
Every schoolmaster after the age of forty-nine, is inclined to flatulence is apt to swallow frequently and to puff.
Harold Nicolson
She has only been out of a place once in nine starts.
Gerald Ryan
I've known Shawn for eight or nine years. He was mad at me, so I was just trying to settle him down.
Andrew Eakle
He's not a nine-hole hitter. He hits ninth in our order, but we don't consider him to be the ninth-best player on the team. His job is to get on base. Everything else is a bonus.
Jeff Blankenship
I been Avada Kedavra'd nine times, yo.
Curtis Jackson
Yeah, we have a good defense. But with the cold weather, a field with no fence and these bats you're never comfortable unless you're up eight or nine.
Bill Keefer
We did pretty well yesterday (Wednesday) and caught eight or nine keepers. We don't have that back home. There's a limit on how many you can keep but not the size.
Sandy Williams
It's been nine years and it has spread to 40 countries and to over 100 million people. This is really a blessing.
Falun Gong
We've moved guys around quite a bit to get our best nine guys in the lineup.

Most bizarre factual pattern I've seen in the nine years that I have been a prosecutor.
Tim Fleming
It was a nine-point game, but it sure felt a lot closer than nine points.
Gina Nolan
Anytime you get to the line (34) times as opposed to being on the line nine times, that?s almost an impossible situation to win in.
Daquan Gibson
I had to come up with nine different themes.
Heather Sinclair
Nine years later, and we are just getting some of the projects done.
Scott Gediman
We knew it was going to be a close game. Even when we were down nine with five minutes left to go we weren't scared.
Cory Davis
We should have enough to get through nine innings, hopefully. We've got enough bodies on the bench that we can piece it together.
Pat Murphy
I played great on the back (nine), hit the ball great, made some putts and here we go.
John Rollins
Clint did a great job coming out and getting us that one run, and it ended up being huge for us. Pretty much from one to nine, we couldn't get it going (against Linn).
Craig Gentry
This is the icing on the cake. Nine wonderful years on Everybody Loves Raymond , and to finish it off like this is wonderful.
Doris Roberts
So far this year in our area we are down at least nine inches. And the drought started in April, when hay production was just beginning. The ground moisture was drying out by May. This has made for a significantly decreased hay crop.
Ralph Davis
The front nine today is how I'd like to play for the rest of my career.
Nick Dougherty
If you pit this medication against your favorite all-you-can-eat buffet, the ... buffet is going to win nine out of 10 times. So it's important you try to modify eating habits.
Thomas Wadden
Fifty-nine is a notorious transit area. It's a corridor that is used by smugglers.
Luisa Deason
The injuries have been tough on us. We've been through a lot. We've lost nine players because of Hurricane Katrina. Our two best players have missed a lot of playing time.
Seber Windham
From a team standpoint, I hope to move up. The field is tremendously deep. It may be one of the deepest and fastest in the last nine or 10 years. This area is just tremendously competitive.
Kevin Clougherty
They're anxious to continue the season and keep pressing on. They want to get out there and shoot another nine.
Brad Hobaugh
You have to tip your cap to Mercy. I thought when they got down nine, they didn't panic. It would have been easy for some teams to panic, but I know a coach Kohs team doesn't panic. They just fought back and beat us to a couple loose balls to make a difference.
Vincent Cianfarani
Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.
Dave Barry
That one really gave me the impetus into the back nine that I needed, ... I'm certainly used to this kind of breeze, but it was very difficult because it was gusting in different directions.
Greg Chalmers
Kate Bigelow shot a very competitive 41 on the front, then shot a 49 on the back. I know that she feels bad about the back nine, but I was very proud of the way she competed.
Gary Gavette
It was a hard-fought ball game. The momentum switched, and we got it back up to a nine-point game.
Daron Wildermuth
No mother can sleep at night knowing that her son was murdered in the fashion that my uncle was murdered in. My grandparents live with this every day, for the last nine years. And this has brought closure to my family.
Tangee Overly
Every six to nine months, 99 percent of the space inside the museum changes. That's a big undertaking.
Paul Russell
There is no question that Rumanian-Jewish food is heavy. One meal is equal in heaviness, I would guess, to eight or nine years of steady mung-bean eating.
Calvin Trillin
There's not one guy that can beat nine. You can't win unless you have everyone else with you.
Buck Kicinski
Three days later, they're still on cloud nine.

Keith Leonard
Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
George Washington Carver
It was great to see Adam out on the mound competing for nine innings. His pitch count was low and the defense made some big time plays [behind him].
Chris Finnegan
This is the same family I met nine years ago.
Steve Huey
One through nine in our lineup can hit. They all put the ball in play and get on base, but Betsy is everything a coach could ask for in a hitter.
Jay Artall
We've done nine film festivals since then, taken the movie to Cannes and the Edinburgh Film Festival and it had it's US premier a couple of weeks ago.
Matt Daniels
I'm not into stats. Nine strikeouts is a plus, but the main thing is just to be back. My arm felt great and I was hitting my spots and keeping the ball down.
Jason Berken
Crash programs fail because they are based on the theory that, with nine women pregnant, you can get a baby a month.
Wernher von Braun
I was very happy at the fact that the kids came back from eight runs down and were even able to take the lead. I thought they battled their butts off. We can?t get concentrated for nine innings, and I don?t know what?s causing that.
Chuck Hartman
He's always been low-key. I can hardly get a couple of words out of him, and I've known him for nine years. Nothing really gets him too high, nothing gets him too low. He has a great attitude for the game.
Chris Riley
Downer did not mention the two persons but in an overall context of the nine Australians.
Desra Percaya
All week Rory has been demonstrating how good he is when he is backed into a corner. I knew he was going to hit some good shots on the back nine and I would have to try and outplay him. It just didn't happen.
Paul O'hanlon
She was nine when she came in, and we had her several months. Her home life was not the best. She was expected to be the mom - we had to teach her how to be a kid. She loved baking cookies with me.
Brenda Webb
It took 25 years to de-list the peregrine falcon. We are only at nine or 10 years and we have a long way to go.
Greg Austin
[Last match] I had nine of them playing. I'm trying to make them a team.
Mike Zanatian
My own life planning has always been 10 years ahead. I knew when I was 13 that this was what I wanted to be. Right now I feel about nine months behind where I would have liked to be at age 46. Ten years from now, I'd like to be doing what I'm doing and collecting more interest.
Chubby Checker
Katie had a good front nine with the exception of one little glitch.
Darrel Hoffman
It is on a fast-track basis, which should mean it should be registered in six to nine months, but there's no guarantee.
Stavros Nicolaou
I've said this many, many times: I don't need to be validated, not in basketball, ... I've won three championships. I was on the all-defensive team (nine times).
Dennis Johnson
Spider-Man 2 will be huge for the toy industry. I expect hundreds of thousands of licensed merchandise (items) to be sold in the first nine months of the year.
Jim Silver
At six and nine months of age it didn't seem to have an effect, but by 12 months of age, when most children are starting to walk and move around a lot more, that's when we saw the effect.
Lizanne Mulligan
In Missouri, nine items increased in price, four decreased, and three remained constant. Meat prices were higher with the exception of ground chuck.
Diane Olson
Wall Street indices predicted nine out of the last five recessions!
Paul A. Samuelson
This isn't just some nine to five job. This is a way of life.
Terry Tucker
It takes all nine of us hitting in the lineup. Chris and I knew we are better hitters than what we've been showing.
Adam Everett
The primary target is that attendance center will be a new grade-nine-through-12 facility.
Superintendent David Deets
Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too, and there she is on Screen Nine!
Robert Mankoff
The Internet is new, and on top of that, health-related issues and ventures online are very new. The whole industry is all of nine months old.
David Restrepo
If someone gives you so-called good advice, do the opposite; you can be sure it will be the right thing nine out of ten times.
Anselm Feuerbach
After I threw the first nine, yeah, I knew I was going to do it. I was pretty confident.
Lonnie Billiter Jr
Getting three in the first end was great, but we knew we had nine ends left and that wasn't going to win the game.
Debbie Mccormick
We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.
Mike Hargrove
When your defense is count nine of the indictment, you're in trouble. He was a kid who believed in what he was doing, but he was not a terrorist.
James Brosnahan
Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.
Richard Buckminster Fuller
To ask for advice is in nine cases out of ten to ask for flattery.
John Churton Collins
I was so nervous. It seemed like the quickest nine holes I've ever played, it went so fast.
Brett Bergman
We won the first game of a nine-game season. Those other seven are gone.
Marty Schottenheimer
If they broke 60 on any nine, it'd be good.
Charles Coody
I didn't realize that I was so close to a triple-double until I got to the media room. I had no idea I had nine blocks.
Tyrus Thomas
Realistically, I would like to think that eight or nine kids could get to the sectional. If we have a good day, maybe we could get one or two more through.
Steve Olson
Adam pitched a great nine innings. I think it is the best Adam has pitched all year.
Ted Shipley
It's a tournament with nine Augustinian high schools from all over the country. We are guaranteed four games.
Matt Senffner
We've got nine and they've got nine. It should be a good game.
Randy Shepherd
There's an internal momentum in Southeast Asia with all the ingredients for sustained growth. The next nine months will be very good for the smaller Asian markets.
Donald Gimbel
We're looking for nine characteristics, which we call success drivers.
Dick Antoine
[It is] the best low-cost credit card producer in the country, ... You back up that credit card business, you're buying the core bank at eight to nine times earnings. There's no need to chase the big boys when you have Bank One, a $60 billion company sitting there really cheaply.
Robert Friedman
In 12 years of coaching, including nine years here, I?d never seen an overtime game. Now I?ve seen two.
Scott Shaffer
He was our main man. Coming into the season, he knew and all the guys knew. Everyone around knew it also. I got rid of nine seniors last year. Coming in, he was the guy.
Poncho Broner
Our hitting one through nine really came to the plate. We hit the ball very hard, and that's something that continues to be a strong point of the team.
Leslie King
There is probably no subject that I've gotten more communication about since my election nine months ago than the voting machine issue.
Jerry Meek
Georgia Tech can win nine or 10 games. They will never do that consistently. That's my feeling ... because of the type of program this is.
Dave Braine
New management at Nine has launched a concerted attack on its cost base in order to restore margins through eliminating waste, improving efficiency and lowering programming costs.
James Packer
Over the last six to nine months the economy has performed again much better.
Marc Faber
It's up to Seton Hall, and it's not really up to Seton Hall. They're done playing. It's up to the ones chasing them. (The Big East) will either get in eight or nine, depending on Seton Hall.
Joe Lunardi
I take the approach I need to be ready every day, nine innings. It is up to Bob how he wants to use me.
Terry Mulholland
The points we got from Amanda were really big because those were points I wasn't expecting. She ran a great race. I expected the 30 points from the field events and between nine and 12 points from the relays and we got nine, so we did about as well as I expected us to.
Dave Redden
As soon as we got them, we lost a few right away for their wounds were just too great, ... But out of 12 people that night, we saved nine.
Dr. Jim Graham
This is not a mystery anymore. We know what needs to be done, ... The Great Lakes has gotten nine studies in four years from this administration, and Iraq has gotten $4.5 billion. Give Iraq the studies, and we'll take the money.
Rahm Emanuel
They're a great team, You can't give them anything. So any kind of walk or error gives them that opportunity. And one-through-nine they're tough.
Dean Yonamine
[Besides earning awards, at least nine films garnered movie deals. Lions Gate Films bought the distribution rights to the documentary] The Eyes of Tammy Faye, ... Two Family House.
Jim Bakker
I didn't see it then. But that group stayed together. We've got nine seniors.
Bobby Mcgee
Without a doubt this is our best defensive team. We have nine kids who can defend. Our guards can stop you and we have big men who came step out and defend. That's been a constant all year.
Phil Colicchio
That was nine years ago and sometimes it seems like yesterday. We were so close.
Debbie Webb
The refs said there were nine players but I didn't care. If they don't line up right, that's their fault.
Lendale White
I was very excited about our boys. With the things we've been dealing with, injuries and graduation. We were going to break 100 points and then we score 62. That's just phenomenal. I didn't know if we'd have anybody in the top 10 and we get three guys in the top nine. They really got after it.
Andrew Hudson
The nine ibis sent back to the wild on October 16, 2004 have smoothly adapted to the natural environment and have been mingling with wild ones.
Ding Haihua
We knew it wasn't going to be easy, playing on their floor and with them shooting nearly 40 free throws to our nine, but we still had a chance.
Jerry Slocum
At yesterday's meeting, management expressed confidence that operating margins in the computing systems segment should double in six to nine months.
Richard Chu
Nine of 10 girls scored, and everybody played in every quarter. That was a nice way to end the year.
Megan Gephart
Our biggest lead was nine points but, for the most part, it was 3-to-4 points. It was not fun until the end.
Joe Debruyne
Our first six batters are as good as anybody in the country. Nine of our 10 runs were by those guys. We beat a good team today. They have probably the best team they've had in my 20 years here.
Dennis Martel
If you can put it in play, one through nine, that's huge.
Scott Gilligan
Most golfers out here try to survive the front nine and score on the back.
Michael Waters
I've stated before that nine and 10 are my concerns and David is another option there.
Colin Cooper
Ninety-nine percent of advertising doesn't sell much of anything.
David M. Ogilvy
I told them to put the elements out of their mind. Anybody who mentioned it or complained, I said I would kick them off the bench. It wasn't that bad to me. You just have to keep moving and (today) will be a challenge because we'll be playing two nine inning games.
Jack Leggett
I obviously want to have some higher finishes. I want to be in the hunt a lot. I want - on Sunday, on the back nine - to have a chance. I haven't given myself that opportunity yet, so that's one of my big goals.
Stephanie Louden
Nine-eleven made me a more emotional person. It arranged people's priorities.
David Grossman
We are pumping out nine billion gallons a day.
Susan Jackson
We have guys one through nine in the lineup who can swing the bat. But when it's their time to bunt, you expect them to get the job done.
Daren Brown
Nine or 10 touchdowns.
Brandon Johnson
It's a big step because of the complexity. This will be a nine- to 12-month process just to build this new platform.
Matt Armstrong
He does that several times during the game. And nine times out of 10, he's right.
Jeff Bowden
The first thing was just watching planes. It always fascinated me to see planes floating in the air. Then at nine I decided I wanted to be a military fighter pilot.
Montana Stanley
Once the doctors told me I was healthy, I knew it was just a matter of time before I was able to get back out there and compete for nine innings. I knew I would be back.
Aaron Cook
I remember it like it was yesterday. Nine years of age, Chattanooga, Tennessee. We were entered to the National Boys Championship, and we could not get into the tournament.
Lenny Simpson
We do eight episodes in nine days. Now, because there are roughly 40 actors in the show, it doesn't mean to say you're in every scene. So you bob in and bob out, a bit like a jigsaw. I've never done that before.
Ray Brooks
I'm looking at the worst because, nine times out of 10, that's going to happen.
George Webb
Our financing needs have come down. We have more options for cheap capital than we did six to nine months ago.
Peter O'brien
I fought him off nine times out of 10, but the one time he scored, it just killed me. I just have to get more aggressive on my feet.
Rob Waltko
You've got to take your hats off to Roosevelt. We had them down seven, eight, nine.
Doug Pesicka
That needed to be 11 and that was nine.
Mark Holden
If I were a parent and someone told me my kid was going to go there, I'd be hesitant, as well. But it's going to be dramatically different nine months from now, and 21 months from now.
Richard Stanley
Here we are at week nine and still in the playoff hunt. We haven't been there before. They (Herrin) are a heck of a football team.
Kerry Martin
We were ready to celebrate. We had them on their heels. A three there would have put us on cloud nine, and I really believe we would have won the game, because I knew we would have cracked down on defense.
Mike Shipman
Journalism is nine-tenths being in the right places at the right time.
Andrew Marr
I don't think I've ever pitched on nine days' rest before. I guess we'll see what happens after that.
Steve Trachsel
When I was maybe nine years old, I listened to the entire Beatles catalogue, non-stop, for about a year.
Chris Cornell
It is a similar position, and he's got traits like Derrick -- but Derrick has been to nine Pro Bowls, so that's where the comparison stops.
Rod Marinelli
Nine times out of 10 they mess it up, and sometimes they mess it up pretty bad.
Robert Hess
All nine are alive, and we believe that all nine are in pretty good shape.
Mark Schweiker
It's the fastest spacecraft ever launched. It will get to the Moon in nine hours?it will get to Jupiter in one year and nine months.
Colleen Hartman
I putted well on the back nine, I've been driving the ball well and I had a lot of opportunities and was able to make a few of them on the back nine.
Steve Lowery
