Little distractions were quite annoying. I can almost tell you the phone number she was giving on the phone.

Nadia Petrova

Decrease as much as possible the amount of time or number of purchases where you actually hand the card to someone.

Julissa Martinez

Much faster growth rate than the number one company.

Jonathan Gray

I personally feel that this board never requested the number of districts or the number of members on the school board.

Jerry Owens

On number two you really felt for him. It helped us (Mize and Ben Crane) because he's not losing it out there. He'd be a really good poker player because you can't tell how he's doing.

Larry Mize

We're talking about the difference between a little below and a little above, but the number is consistent with the view that we're going to see payrolls flat to lower in August.

Gerald Cohen

LNG gives us access to a growing market and flexibility to deal with a number of customers.

Brian Craig

We want to become the second-biggest browser. The number one is a little inaccessible.

Jon Von Tetzchner

Some of the issues the court dealt with are issues of first impression that have not been resolved in this context. There are a number of issues on which we believe that an appellate court, in reviewing the matter, will come up with a different conclusion.

Howard Levine

We're not always consistent with our message that the customer is number one, ... We're not always consistent with our in-stock situation and sometimes the checkout lines are too long.

Mike Duke

Those two guys are by far the best athletes I have ever had in this program. Ray and Isaiah have been number one and number two in scoring for us all season long.

Justin Nelson

This was a very bad number.

Herminio Lucci

A large number are pre-trial misdemeanor offenders and about 50 are released each week.

John Roach

I haven't talked to Brian in a while. I don't even know his current phone number.

Carl Wilson

The number won't help the Canadian dollar. We may see further weakening. A softer number provides no reason to go and buy the Canadian dollar.

Reid Farrill

The governor has hired a mediator –– who is a very nice guy –– to talk to people. And for a number of weeks, he wasn't talking to people. But now he's re-engaged.

Mayor Beth Sabilia

They issued great results ... much better than consensus. Factor number two: their guidance is above Street consensus for the next quarter.

Jonathan Hykawy

I have done a number of large paintings, but nothing this large and nothing this time consuming.

Bill Sandusky

Whether it be a bottom-line figure or a payment figure, if you only present one number to the customer, you're really asking them to make a decision. But if you present them multiple options, or alternatives, then you're asking them to make a choice.

Marc Smith

We have done a number of very good things with this.

Bill Mann

It's all pointing in the same direction -- the ISM was a surprising number and a scary number.

John Shepherd

On a number of occasions, military operations which involved excessive use of force and other violations, haven't necessarily been addressed.

Jose Luis

It's a pretty disappointing number, much below market expectations and our own. Exports were particularly disappointing.

Jarrod Kerr

I think Northville, Canton and Walled Lake Central all have good teams coming back. But there are a number of teams that are capable of making a run at it.

Fred Thomann

There's a huge number of people stuck in a lousy commute or a tiny house, or they finally got the raise they're hoping for. It's not a bottomless pit, but it's a large, large group.

Richard Carlson

The number of accidents on that road is very low, but anytime you have a bicycle in 50 mile-per-hour traffic, it's a dangerous situation.

Philip Brooks

We don't use these numbers to make management decisions, because of the bias that's inherent in the number, not knowing how many we miss from year to year. These are a minimum count.

Holly Edwards

They were a bit nervous as it was the first time in a number of years they were playing at home at this level and they were weighed down by the expectations.

Andrew Price

I don't know if the Red Oak numbers include their annexation to Interstate 45 or not. The annexation is currently being challenged in court so that number could change.

Clyde Melick

I haven't heard from them. They know my phone number. Maybe they decided not to pursue them.

Brad Blank

There has been an increase in the number of malformed frogs. What's causing these malformed frogs is not really clear, though there are a number of theories.

Charles Carlson

That's the idea. We have a lot of potential going forward. It's not a situation where teams can focus on one or two players. We have a number of players who can contribute going forward.

Davy Arnaud

Denial is the number one aspect of medicine. That's why people don't get check-ups.

Larry L. King

These kinds of comparisons are having a knock-on effect by dragging everyone else up with them. The idea is that lots of UK executives go abroad because of high salaries, but in reality there are only a very small number of global players.

Steve Tatton

I have a background from my younger days in hockey. When somebody slammed you into the boards with undue force and aggression, you took their number.

David Emerson

They all find out that you opened the mail and they get an invisible tracking number, so if you go to a store ... that number is reported to them and they can build that information into a database.

Jason Catlett

The number of students keeps going down, and the debt keeps going up.

Ned Mcgrath

There's a large number of U.S. institutions who only buy S&P 500 stocks.

Stephen Reitman

We number the current economic damage at roughly 140 million euros ($167 million). We are currently in talks with federal and state governments about financial support measures.

Thomas Janning

Just the fact that we don't even know how much money bin Laden has, whether its $50 million, or $300 million, or some other number, shows you how hard it's going to be.

Matthew Devost

As you know, I serve on a number of boards, which has caused the city attorney some concern. I think it would be in the best interest of the city for me not to challenge his position.

William Burke

I think it's going to be a lower number, much lower than the 10,000. That 10,000 was based at a time when we didn't know what we didn't know.

Russel L. Honore

We think it needs to be a higher percentage given the large number of at-risk students in Mississippi.

Helen Johnson

New York now leads the world's great cities in the number of people around whom you shouldn't make a sudden move.

David Letterman

Flooding is without a doubt the number one natural hazard for Delaware.

Mike Powell

I think it is a critical number. It's one of the first readings we get on consumer confidence post-Katrina.

Gina Martin

The girls did a good job this afternoon. We sat our number one and two this afternoon and let everyone move up.

Marc Sieving

It's not actual golf instruction as much as it is introduction to the game of golf utilizing props and cartoon characters. We have had a more-than-you-can-imagine number of funny anecdotes happen because we are, after all, dealing with 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds. It's a lot of fun.

Tom Cunningham

A number of businesses promote the theater because the quality of life is just as important as their bottom line.

Norman Small

We have no specific information about what number of job cuts would be at BellSouth. That's going to be determined after the close of the merger.

Joe Chandler

It's about the number we were looking for. But I can't take credit for this class. Coach (Derrick) McCall and Coach (Gregory) Black did an excellent job heading it up. They're good recruiters.

Willie Slater

Bryan is a tough, hard nosed player that can play a number of positions in the infield.

Mark Machtolf

(PHU) had a number of chances in the first half but I thought we did a good job to keep it 0-0. But that quick goal out of halftime hurt.

Ray Dipompo

Number two, our offense is keeping away the ball a lot more, giving less pressure to our defense.

Joseph Shanagan

Mr. Hoffman conducted thefts from our community over a number of years.

Tom Hensley

We don't know what they have. If they found a different way to read the number, i.e. manipulate the software, then we may change the software. It's completely hypothetical. We need to speak with them.

Tom Waldrop

I do not believe we will be able to 'cap' very well. It seems like a very difficult challenge to put a hard and fast number on, though it makes sense.

Phil Wilson

It's just a number. I'll ask for the ball if we win. But if it's a good kicking ball, we want to keep it in the game.

Jeff Feagles

Hampton is well-coached and they are very good. Joe has done a great job with them and they've been a strong team in Class AAA for a number of years.

Tom Traynor

This is a number you're not supposed to pay attention to in the summer.

Mike Cloherty

The poetic act consists of suddenly seeing that an idea splits up into a number of equal motifs and of grouping them; they rhyme.

Stephane Mallarme

So he bought me two cases and I took another number. In the end, the beer lasted longer than the marriage.

John Kruk

The number of managers and the underlying cost structure gets to be very similar to a mutual fund.

Mark Bloom

This is not a silver bullet. It would need to be done in combination with a number of therapies.

Keith Whyte

Rick was our number one guy that we pursued. As far as we know, Thunder Bay is still interested in Chad.

Chris Goodell

They could go higher, and that number could change. Obviously, this has the potential to become a problem.

Dan Stessel

The number one thing I want as a quarterback is a strong running game.

Jordan Palmer

We have a number of leads that we are investigating to find out where they might have gone, and we will continue on that.

Christine Nixon

I was real pleased. We had two to five swimmers in the top 12 in almost every event. That's just an astounding number.

Jeremy Layman

Number one, we still have to come out and compete. We're still doing the same things so I don't know if this is how its going to be next season, and I don't want that. Its frustrating as ever.

Sebastian Telfair

The number of banners we'll put up will depend on the number of sponsorships we receive. We'd like to put up about 50 to 60 banners.

Sean Robey

The number was as high as 25,000 in fiscal 2000.

Maxine Shane

Ford hadn't been up there for a number of years. This was a big chance for Ford and a lot of people saw it that way. So, we grabbed it with both hands.

Dick Johnson

I would say the number of women approaching us has more than doubled.

Louise Brown

There have been a number of phone calls from both citizens and businesses concerning an increase in the numbers of flies being seen.

Steve Jacobs

I was overwhelmed by the number of hotels -- there were over 12. They would invite someone to stay in their hotel for $3 a week.

Karen Hechler

This will be the prototype for a number of similar developments (by CD Development) around the country.

Tom Devitt

The rule on staying alive as a forecaster is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.

Jane Bryant Quinn

This additional bandwidth will give us an enhanced ability to serve our growing number of enterprise level customers all over the globe. Whether in New York City, Los Angeles or London, our customers will have the bandwidth they need to be leaders in their field.

Christopher Faulkner

The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.

Thomas Hunt Morgan

They can't control what is printed in the foreign newspapers like they can in the local papers. So they try to limit the number of people who have access to them.

John Hanna

He had a lot of hats. But, in all his jobs, his number one interest was always what was best for Kings Park.

Charles Gardner

It hasn't grown in the number of houses, but it's grown in seasonal use.

Dick Wright

Dave struggled some and went deep in the count to a number of their hitters.

Kris Doorey

Mario's number one goal is to keep it in Pittsburgh.

Larry Murphy

What that does, though, unfortunately, is it woefully under-reports the number of labs that have been discovered.

Jeffrey Greene

But that was a raw number, not adjusted for comparable jobs and responsibility.

John Leo

[When Confidential magazine published a story in 1955 that implied he was gay,] I wasn't angry, I was more fearful, ... I had very, very few close friends and even a smaller number knew what my sexuality was.

Tab Hunter

I think it's a huge win on a number of fronts.

David Cope

The number of individuals and families in Georgia who buy their own health insurance is growing every day and, like all Americans, they are struggling to fit another expense into their budgets at a time when everything seems to cost more from the gas pump to home heating.

Richard Collins

There are a number of reasons it could go down.

Dan Sleeper

People don't look at your forehead and see a number, it's how you're perceived. The weight, it plagues a lot of people.

John Briley

On a number of issues, the government, I think, will be more sympathetic, but they're going to have to move very cautiously and very carefully.

Bruce Clemenger

Courts continue to recognize that class actions are inappropriate in tobacco litigation because of the overwhelming number of individual issues. Medical monitoring class actions are simply no different.

William Ohlemeyer

Yes, we have injected uranium hexafluoride gas into a limited number of centrifuge machines, but it is even less than is needed for a pilot project.

Gholam Reza Aghazadeh

The title was misunderstood by a number of people. We needed to make it clear that this is an academic investigation about a group of films.

Peter Holland

He's their best athlete, number one pitcher and a good hitter too at the three hole in the lineup. We're going to have to manufacture some runs against them.

Ab Argent

What we have said is there may be a surcharge in the future because with the older technology, we're not going to be able to do a number of things that may be required.

Jay Ellison

In a situation like that, [coach Bruce Kay] calls my number for a reason. I just worked the ball into my hands.

Alex Kube

Tomorrow's the big number. From the minutes we know the Fed will be more data- driven. This is the first important piece of data coming out after the minutes.

Mustafa Chowdhury

I've seen him do it a number of times.

Mike Adras

I think the real question is whether growth in 2001 is positive or negative. And the way things are going, it's looking increasingly likely there's going to be a negative number.

Richard Jerram

We have delivered what we said we would deliver, ... We have got very strong profit growth in a number of our businesses.

John Varley

People are very scared of the employment number tomorrow.

Andrew Brenner

Britain is currently number six in the league of outbound visitor's destination.

Bernard Donoghue

When you have a number of disagreeable duties to perform, always do the most disagreeable first.

Josiah Quincy

We don't lose a tremendous amount of members annually, but it's still a big number to replace every year.

Brad Roeber

I think we're going to be at our magic number in two years. Then we will just have to remove yearly what can be adopted.

Fran Ackley

I believe that there are a number of these people who have had close political ties to the Democratic Party and to Gray Davis that are involved here, ... Late Edition.

David Dreier

We've heard from many of our constituents over the last number of days that they have some frustration and some anger over the current situation.

David Chudnovsky

There are a number of programs coming on they're going to benefit from, and it's one of our best plants.

Patrick Kennedy

There are a surprising number of tapestries that survived from the 16th to 18th century. You can find a 17th-century tapestry for $3,000 to $4,000, and then there are half-million-dollar tapestries.

Jeffrey Smith

Looking out to 2025, the number of people living in water-stressed countries will increase six and a half times.

Sandra Postel

There were a number of questions along those lines, and I don't know if all the answers were ready. I wanted to keep the baseball in-house.

Charlie Dowd

The average speed is 35 mph which means that there were a high number of cars going above that. The chances of surviving if you get hit by a car at 25 mph are far higher than if you get hit by a car at 35 mph.

Karen Hendrixson

If female bats mate with more than one male, a sperm competition begins. The male who ejaculates the greatest number of sperm wins the game, and hence many bats have evolved outrageously big testes.

Scott Pitnick

By reducing the number of plasmids, we increase the efficiency of virus production.

Yoshihiro Kawaoka

It seems awfully high, ... It is not a constitutional right to own and watch a TV. . . . I can't envision that we'd go for a number that's triple what was our upper end.

Lee Terry

For retailers, the bigger your number is, the more attractive your town is.

Brent Hayes

It's up to them if they want him. Steve wants to be there. They have a huge cap number right now. Maybe they can afford it.

Bus Cook

UTC has had a long history of involvement in the revitalization of this community, and has worked with a number of community partners toward that end.

Barbara Medley

Some of these people are not going home. We have a number from New Orleans who lived in the Ninth Ward, and know they have nothing to go home to. Some have found jobs in our area and are looking for jobs. They're doing all the things they need to be doing to be part of our culture.

Nancy Brown

There are a number of legal issues. No. 1, two different cases were consolidated, and we didn't think they proved their case on the murder charge.

David Schieck

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

Bob Barker

When people start looking back on his career, they are going to be surprised by the number of things he did first. He left a great legacy in country music.

Roy Clark

I don't know where their number comes from.

Robert Keats

We will indeed have a number of contested primaries. I don't think that's a bad thing for the Republicans, to have some spirited contests.

Randy Frederick

This will allow us to finally have a number.

Kathleen Murphy

I'm not trying to be a number. I'm still going to pitch. I'm just going to have a different uniform on.

Brian Lawrence

We will be trying to keep people alive, ... That's it, priority number one.

Howard Williams

We're the only people I know that know the number of a couch repair company. They would fly around the house and break stuff. You had to keep them corralled.

Keith Hawk

We forecast that bird flu mutation is possible in the countries where the number of different viruses is high. This group includes the United States.

Sergei Dankvert

Last season I counted four fingers at them for the number of European Cups Liverpool had won. Next time, I can just stick my whole hand up.

Robbie Fowler

We had a number of discussions about what he should look like ... how much clothing he should or should not have and how many teeth he should or should not have.

M'lou Arnett

God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die.

Bill Watterson

That was my number growing up, No. 5, in baseball and football. He was my favorite player; I wore it because of him. He grew up about 30 minutes from where I grew up.

Kelly Stinnett

The total number of convicts at the jails across the country has reached 105,000. Hopefully, the remission will really be issued on August 17.

Hamid Awaluddin

A number of companies have expressed interest, but nobody's signed up yet.

Chris Whiteley

There is quite a bit more anticipation for this game, so the ratings should come close, if not pass that 2003 game. Especially if the game is close at the end, we have a chance to post a big number for this game.

Loren Matthews

It is really angering a lot of people. I'm getting a lot of e-mails and a number of phone calls.

Rep. David Schultheis

There's been a number of fires along this road at vacant mobile homes. Thank God no one has been hurt or worse.

Nancy Tissue

We all knew a number of people doing cool things and thought it would be really neat to get them all together.

Andy Stoll

There is no harm to the citizens of Minnesota or the MAC (Metropolitan Airports Commission). There are a number of issues Northwest is dealing with in bankruptcy and this is one of them.

Andrea Fischer Newman

Pray in your family daily, that yours may be in the number of the families who call upon God.

Christopher Love

I think you have the wrong number.

Kam Lao

We have to have the same number for all groups. We can't have differential numbers, apparently. We're still trying to see exactly what impact that will have.

Patricia Olson

We don?t have a true number one guy. We don?t have Derek Roberts, but we have some guys who know how to pitch.

Brian Crowley

At last count we had 10 commitments. I would like the number to be higher so hopefully we can get a few more kids to come out.

James Widoe

When you go home, it's a nice number to throw in your head, knowing that (you) had a part in it.

Jim Dickson

We got a number of good things done this year. It's rewarding to turn an idea into law.

Patrick Mchenry

This was a month in which a number of one-time events conspired to mask the true strength of the economy.

Avery Shenfeld

It's once again a really special thing to get tickets. There's a limited number, and that adds to the appeal.

Kristin Booher

That's a factor for the panel to consider in determining a number of different issues, primarily sanction.

Jonathan Coughlin

We get a lot of false positives and we need to reduce the number.

Yan Noblot

[McBride enlisted Dwight Yoakam to sing harmony vocals on] Heartaches by the Number, ... I Still Miss Someone.

Ray Price

We're pursuing a number of different sources.

Bruce Rudd

This missile is extremely accurate. It will reduce the number of munitions needed for any given targets and its vertical impact makes it the weapon of choice when collateral damage is a concern.

Derrick Edwards

This is just a way for the community to gather with dignity and respect and become educated on a number of issues.

Ruth Yellowhawk

All that said, however, it is recommended that members with questions contact the customer service number on the back of their card.

Leslie Porras

I believe a high number of Afghans have turned out to vote.

Peter Erben

[T]he number of neurons in the brain is very much larger than the number of components in a computer. . .

Jeremy Bernstein

The trucks will increase AIMS Express' margins. The new trucks will provide stability, including lower maintenance costs and a reduced number of breakdowns.

Jeff Owen

People are frustrated. The number of excessive delays can't be justified.

Imad Hamad

We had a record number of margin calls over the weekend.

Blake Darcy

Caregivers say the number one thing they want is flexible hours, because you can't predict when you're going to have to take time off.

Gail Hunt

A significant number of these were damaged. Some of our guys and gals didn't exactly know how to install them and damaged them during installation.

Wes Johnson

Kmart's sales for the month were on plan and we are pleased with our progress in a number of key businesses.

Floyd Hall

I think the big thing, and we already knew this, was the increase in number of people who are food insecure and hungry on the Central Coast.

Lee Mercer

We're number two in the polls and the number one candidate, Jim Davis, has more money and a better chance of winning if we unite behind him.

Scott Maddox

I've had an opinion on it for a number of years and that is that we ought to build it. I hope we're gonna address it this session.

Sen Clark Jenkins

All three of these are factors that put children at risk for crime when they grow up. Unwanted children are at risk for crime, legalized abortion reduced the number of unwanted children. Therefore, legalized abortion should have reduced crime.

Steve Levitt

A number of his paintings are made with charcoal. Kiefer shows not just destructive forces, but rejuvenation. The landscape is ravaged, but it will one day become very fertile.

Anik Fournier

The productivity number came in better than expected and there were fewer jobless claims than forecast.

Al Goldman

The bottom line - despite the minus sign in front of the number, (payrolls) are a lot better than we thought.

Chris Low

I'm a faithful Catholic, but they are not my voice. They are a small number of Catholics who have liberal agendas that are not conducive with my understanding what it means to be Catholic.

Maurice Healy

The orthopedics department has effectively been shut down because you need a certain number of cases - 250 every six months - to maintain adequate training for registrars.

David Wood

Then, what you have is the total collective number of cholesterol-raising fat.

Karen Collins

We've made a number of releases on the subject and if it happens again how we react will be another thing.

Graeme Smith

Our number one priority is battling discrimination against Arab-Americans, and changing the stereotypes, letting people know we're not terrorists, we're not all evil. We're human beings just like you.

Hani Khoury

In the last couple of years, there has definitely been an increase in the number of wage-and-hour actions brought on behalf of computer related employees.

Jeff Ross

As a coach, I have a number of options (with the makeup of the team) and that's a credit to the players themselves.

Rich Irr

We are very familiar with the phone number of our general counsel.

John Heisler

A large number of them have been deported already, and a number of them are currently in our custody.

Ali Yunesi

None will reach the more ambitious (1996) World Food Summit goal of halving the number of hungry people.

Jacques Diouf

We wanted the flexibility. Our cap isn't the [$39 million NHL] cap. Our cap is a number that we're going to work with.

Darryl Sutter

Idaho has a number of areas that are being considered for wilderness areas... and perhaps as Secretary of the Interior, Kempthorne would be in a position to move that forward.

Justin Hayes

We have a number of tests in place to make sure it doesn't happen, and we will be adding new ones after this.

Joe Telafici

I can't see any advantage to them to agree. We're hopeful of getting a decent number of European-based players.

John Boultbee

If we can get the required number of signatures, hopefully that will make Ms. McCutcheon reconsider her actions.

Philip Tympanick

The issues are by some geometric number - 100 or 200 or 500 - times more complicated today than we appreciated them to be when Franklin Roosevelt was around.

Gaylord Nelson

A number of my friends used to kid me about it -- 'Nice solution, but what can it do?' They didn't see much in it.

Charles Townes

They knew they had to go out and execute it in round three. To be number one you have to go out and execute it well and not let anything fall. They did it.

Paula Cunningham

We found a number of hacking software that had been loaded onto the computer. He had used that to gain access to the administrative computer.

George Worthington

I think there are a number of programs that we should really seriously look at, that should have been joint to start out with or still should be joint.

Diane Wright

That guy's ranked sixth in the country. He's the number-one guy in the Pac-10, he was the Pac-10 Champ last year and he beat Ray earlier this year, so for a lot of reasons that was a big match.

Kerry Mccoy

The greatest proportion, about three-quarters of that number, will be in Africa.

Martin Parry

They're going to have to wrestle well, but they all could place. Right now, they're in the top 32 in the state and every match they win that number gets smaller. It's a good accomplishment to get to the final 32, but let's build on it.

Mat Sprague

The project has been stalled at that point for a number of years now.

Katherine Kurtz

Since the number has been stated as not out of line it sounds like someone is trying to play this down.

Jason Calacanis

All we did was look at the pricing. We looked at hundreds of documents and came up with 18 that got letters, which is a fairly small number.

Melissa Merz
