Alma Garcia

Roger Holmes

She's pretty one-dimensional. We've seen her enough to know exactly what her moves are. We just need to be patient and stay with the game plan to shut her down. If we play solid defense on her, then she won't do much against us.

Schuyler Sokolow

They have a pretty good running attack, with [Warrick] Dunn, [T.J.] Duckett and Vick. We did a good job of stopping all those weapons. If you can [shut down the run and] look forward to the pass, you know what to expect.

What's encouraging about meditation is that even if we shut down, we can no longer shut down in ignorance. We see very clearly that we're closing off. That in itself begins to illuminate the darkness of ignorance.

Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if it kept its mouth shut.

It was a hard fought, relatively quick game. We took advantage of several mistakes they made in the back. Overall, to shut a team down with a counter attack like Conroe's says a lot for our defense. They deserve the credit.

Hans Kleinschmidt

We had phenomenal pitching, and when you can take their offense and shut it down like Ashley did, that was awesome.

They've been a big-play team and they showed that with the halfback pass (intercepted by McRae) on the first play. They had scored a ton (and) the defense shut them down and gave us great field position all night.

It's a little unfair to attribute the problem to lack of disaster management. If Singapore or London faced a downpour like what Bombay had last week, I would imagine the situation won't be much different. Those cities also would have been shut.

Abheek Barua

It's good to shut up sometimes.

Marcel Marceau

I'll take that win with two home runs any day, because she's a good pitcher and she could've shut us out easily. She had a good rise ball that we were chasing all afternoon.

Kyle Mcbride

The guy who had the biggest challenge (on Tuesday) was Overmyer. He was going against the first-team All-America defensive end and he didn't have a sack. Overmyer was matched up with that kid all night long. We threw 40 some times and only ran the ball six times. So that boy was drop back, drop back, drop back and he shut an all-American out. That's pretty good.

Mark Mchale

Their point guard is salty. We've got to eliminate some of his talents and make them play another style. Their wing people became the point to enter to the post. I thought we forced open the door, but they shut it.

Louis Handy

A few hundred dollars and for that you're trying to shut down the defendant by preventing him from collecting on an account that was voluntarily entered into.

Barry Sims

With some of the refineries now shut down in the Houston area and their workers evacuated, we are pulling from operations east of the area.

Jack Edison

We were working to shut down a gambling casino, and I make no apologies.

To be able to shut them up at the beginning of the second half by getting two goals and just kind of seeing the game out comfortably was fantastic.

No one has a finer command of language than the person who keeps his mouth shut.

Mickey Crouch

We shut down their two big guns but we couldn't mark them all.

Steve Shoff

Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.

Jan Myrdal

The old City Hall was in the fire hall, and if a fire broke out, business shut down because you couldn't hear anymore. Gale was well respected and probably could have stayed mayor for a long time after that if he would have wanted to.

Bob Bell

One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time.

Jeff Cooper

We've shut everything down. We evacuated all our workers from the offshore platforms in the Gulf, shutting in production. We have shut down operations at our Texas City refinery.

David Nicholas

Go ahead and shut them down.

Robert Shields

That means we do these things not to make money, but to keep our society functioning at a reasonable level where people can be healthy. We are not trying to shut down businesses; we want businesses to keep running, (but without polluting) and, in this case, the air belongs to all of us.

Patty Clary

I like doing all the dirty work, all the hustling. I don't mind my role at all. I've always believed if you work hard and hustle, you will do well in games. We keep our mouths shut and just play.

Kyle Peabody

If a person feels he can't communicate, the least he can do is shut up about it.

Tom Lehrer

Shane really gutted it out. That is the longest he has pitched for us and we had him for 75 pitches. Give him a lot of credit for gutting it out and being very effective. That was a huge factor for us to have him come in and shut them (Phantoms) down. They swing the bats well.

Bruce Brobst

I'm concerned about e-mails being blocked from advocacy groups, of all sides. I'm concerned about start-ups that may be shut down.

Jan Schakowsky

It's not like you're going to get stuck on the turnpike once a year, ... You're going to get stuck once a month. And when the road gets shut down during rush hour, it's a problem for everybody.

Kate Harper

Because my love for you is beyond words, I decided to shut up.

Nizar Qabbani

We found a way to win and that's the main thing. I don't like the way that we let them comeback, but we did find a way to win. Blake Roberts came in at the end and shut them down for two innings.

Jimmy Harris

We wanted to shut them out. That was the goal we had the entire time we were practicing for the bowl.

Stephen Tulloch

That (home run) was incredible. I never would have thought in a million years that would happen. I'm used to hitting singles and doubles, and that came out of nowhere. That shut them down.

Kyle Levins

I'm not going to be dictated, nor is the Boulder Police Department going to be dictated, by a demand by Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey or anybody else to put up or shut up. That's not how the criminal justice system works.

Michael Kane

One time the truck never shut off for eight days.

Ross Rasmussen

Bethany has two big guys down low as their leading scorers. We'll have to try some way to shut them down.

Joey Searle

Nate Rien

If one business' rights are violated, it opens the door for the mayor and police to shut down other businesses without due process, like nightclubs.

Joseph Robinson

So, I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain. I found that to be true in my life. You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.

Johnny Cash

I had made a god of my own reason... Even if theoretically I now acknowledged the authority of God and the Church, in practice I was still the ruler and the judge. I was the centre of my own existence, and my isolation from the rest of the world was due to the fact that I had deliberately shut myself up within the barriers of my own will and reason.

Bede Griffiths

He understands that some bad things happen and that you have to battle your way through it. Most guys would have just shut it down. But he worked hard to get back and get himself well.

Defense is the first, second and last priority. And when you can shut someone down, it makes everything a lot easier.

Koby Abney

Their scoring gave us other options than Lindsey, so it was harder for them to shut her down.

Dick Franti

They hit the boards. For the first time all year we lit it up from the outside, which was really good to see. Defensively, we shut down their two main players. We came into the game prepared and ready for them.

Dawn Davis

This isn't a lark. My goal is to play out here, that's what I want to do. It's sort of like when I broke into the major leagues. I'm just keeping my mouth shut and paying attention.

Rick Rhoden

We stood up for four plays and shut them down. The game turned right there.

Fred Hartsfield

We knew that if we shut down [junior Elizabeth] Bell and Givens and keep their big players off the boards, we'd be OK. We really wanted to spread the floor and force them to play us.

Mike Webb

We planned on stopping (subscriptions) on the Monday after opening weekend, ... But we shut it off on Aug. 23. We are at 62 percent. That's insane - it's unheard of for us.

Peter Russell

We are going to be more balanced and that will make us more dangerous. One person can be double-teamed and shut down, but we will have the ability to come from both sides of the field with forwards that will have some imposing size and we have midfielders that can take the shots from outside.

Ali Omar

They don't really have the right to do that, ... In a nutshell, no one had ever refused their demand to hire a consultant. And so I suppose we insulted them, and their response was, 'OK, if you're not going to do what we tell you to do, we're going to shut you down.' .

Kevin Cornwell

It's not on, but at least you can shut the door.

Phillip Thompson

Dan Mcdavid

You can always basically shut down the production operations.

David Londoner

I don't travel in circles where people say, 'I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith.' That's just a long-winded religious way to say, 'Shut up.'

Penn Jillette

[Kerry won a key newspaper endorsement yesterday in Missouri, just two days after the St. Louis debate.] Based on his record, President George W. Bush has not earned re-election, ... He has mishandled the war on terrorism, shut his eyes to disagreeable facts, left the next generation in hock and presided over a sharp loss in jobs, health insurance and prosperity for millions of Americans.

Louis Post

Certainly, it's going to be our job to try to shut that line down, but they've got four solid lines so it's important for us for each line to play their role and identify who they're up against, and try to handle that line to the best of their ability each shift.

Brady Leisenring

We played good enough to beat anybody but Decatur today. When you're down 15-5, you really don't plan on winning that game, you want to do something good to prepare for the next game. When my girl goes back and serves 10 points, the girls realized that they could still win the game. But then we still shut down at the end.

Chris Enge

(Amanda Reimer) really did a number on us last year when they came up and played us and we weren't about to let that happen again. Our focus was to shut down their drives to the basket and make it as tough as possible for their post players to move.

Curt Fredrickson

'The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue.'

Carlos Castaneda

[TMQ said the Jets' last-second touchdown against Kansas City, making the final 27-7, deprived the Chiefs of their first shutout] since the Beatles were together. ... the Beatles were not still together in 2002, when the Chiefs shut out the Cardinals 49-0.

Jennifer Williams

She wouldn't shut up she kept mouthing, so I hit her with the ladder.

Alan Brown

We're getting 24-7 coverage on Iran -- which is still likely several years away from being able to produce a single nuclear weapon -- and little coverage on North Korea, which any day could shut down its nuclear reactor and obtain the plutonium for what could be its 10th, 11th or 12th nuclear weapon.

Jon Wolfstahl

Honestly, we looked tired and tight in our races. [Drury] looked as fresh as they have - as fresh as I've seen them. ... We swam pretty much the same as we have all year long, it's just that they had that one person in every event to shut us down. I realized about halfway it was impossible to overcome it. It ended up being a long day on the pool deck.

Mark Gole

We just talked about responsibility and running to the football. We were very, very pleased with our defense, we just flip-flopped and shut them out for the first three quarters instead of the last three.

Todd Shipley

It's coming from state offices that have been cut back or have been shut down.

Bill Branch

We were always in the background trying to get licenses and in those days we would get one of two responses -- either, 'We're not going to reward pirates,' or 'Shut down and we'll talk about it.

Wayne Rosso

I think we have some momentum and can give Watauga some trouble at home, ... We'll need to shut them down and maximize our attacks to have a chance to take them. If we play with intelligence and heart, it can happen.

Roger Mueller

Once I could persuade these guys that all I wanted to hear from them was what they did - Tell me what you do - once you can persuade someone that this is all you're after, you can't shut them up because we're all fascinated by what we do.

Roger Angell

If you have a couple of (refineries) that get shut down, it would be a cause for concern. But the oil companies are spending quite a bit on maintenance.

Charles Rotblut

There's nothing growing, they're grazing what they can find, but there ain't much quantity or quality. We had that great January and February but March just shut things down (for grass production).

Jim Gates

That's the burn that everyone who's ever tried to run distance knows all too well. That's when the muscles are telling you they're starting to shut down.

David Farmer

We got kind of sloppy in the fourth quarter. They shut off Matt Shakespeare but we were able to get plenty of looks at the cage.

Jason Andalo

Numerous plants will be shut down, thousands of workers will lose their jobs and communities will be devastated.

Roger Schagrin

We've been doing that all year, bringing Eric in late ... letting him shut them down, kind of like he did tonight.

Stacey Alston

Miles Sutter is one of the best attackers I've seen so it was our plan to try to shut him down. He scored (three) goals, but otherwise I thought Kyle did an excellent job containing him.

Adam Lechner

It is an outrageous abuse of power and process for the minister to shut the project down at the last hurdle - after this community group has spent more than ten years and more than $1 million on it.

Nick Smith

The love that dare not speak its name has become the love that won't shut up.

This is a sad day for our democracy. The court has not only missed an opportunity to right a great historic injustice, it has shut the courthouse door in the face of hundreds of thousands of disenfranchised citizens.

Catherine Weiss

I didn't shut him down, we shut him down. I tried to push him off the block so we could rotate him easier.

Randal Falker

Before the Georgia series (in early April) Bryan Ball was our No. 1. That's where Horne got hot and that's when we had to shut Ball down.

Ross Jones

Ask them one simple question: 'If you were starting your business today, what piece of advice would you give?' and then shut up, because they will probably go on for hours.

Terri Lonier

The motive is to shut down the opposition. You can't establish a principle in which the regulation of politics is determined by which side holds the majority at the time.

Robert Bauer

I did not think it was a penalty. But, we did not go on and shut them down after we took the lead.

Harry Cairney

We weren't trying to slow him down, we were trying to shut him out. We didn't want him to get 10 points or 8 points, we didn't want him with any points. We threw everything at him and he still scored double figures. That just shows what kind of player he is.

Kelly Grant

It's one of those games you fear having after coming off a couple good ones. We did not take advantage of their errors. They did everything they had to do to shut us down.

Dave Christman

We were just so balanced this year. If a team shut one player down, we always had someone else to step up.

Shameka Russell

Good to go for Sunday or if he needs to shut it down.

Mike Tice

It felt good to jump on them in the first quarter the way we did. They haven't been scoring a lot on anyone else, so we thought we could shut them down with our defense.

Will Walker

Crews are trying to protect the main computers and shut them down.

Blue Cross

There are a lot of doubters, and hopefully this performance will shut them up. When you doubt me, this is what I do.

Julius Jones

We're going against the defending champs. You can't ask for anything more than that. We can go up there and shut a lot of people's mouth. If we go up there and be focused and play our game, we'll come out and take care of them boys.

Deon Grant

I just say the Netherlands is a small country... We are already overcrowded, there's no more room, and we must shut the borders.

Pim Fortuyn

Oil futures are looking forward to a much colder-than-expected winter as forecast by many meteorologists. The fact that we have had so many refineries shut down means we are going into this winter on perhaps not enough heating oil.

Gordon Kwan

There's certainly a need for charitable organizations that help house the less fortunate. But helping the needy piece together flimsy plastic tubes and then snapping the door shut after them gives them shelter at the expense of their dignity.

Martin Weiss

The defense stepping up like it did was everything. They are a tough team to shut down. We knew we had our hands full defensively. We were a little nervous at the beginning.

Bryan Wells

Tonight wasn't a good one, but the door will be shut for the rest of the year.

Devan Dubnyk

The current lack of oil refinery capacity is largely the result of a conscious decision by the oil industry in the 1990s to limit supply to increase profitability. In the 1990s, approximately 50 refineries were closed, and since 1995, over 20 refineries have been shut down.

Dave Hamilton

The funny thing is, it's not about the answer, it's how you react. All the interviewer is trying to do is derail you. If you throw a question like that and they shut down, that's probably not the person you want on your floor at deadline time.

Rich Thompson

Why don´t you go bacl to bartender´s school and take a college course in shut-up?[On being reminded of his age by kelsey].

Archie Bunker

We have not shut our doors for discussion. If they want to sit with us we are ready for that.

Mamata Banerjee

This is the best team I have ever had because there is not one person you can shut down. Each one has been the high-point scorer in a different ball game.

Terri Gray

It's time to do something. The decision has been made. Let's go forward. I'm one of those firm believers that if you don't like it, run for school board or shut your mouth.
