There are lots of layers to these characters. Vocally, Handel is at his very finest. You have highly virtuosic coloratura arias that really display both the vocal artistry and the flourish that has become known as characteristic of Handel's writing. In addition to that, there are these beautiful passages, these beautiful arias that are also very legato, long phrases and beautiful (harmonic) progressions that really evoke those deeper levels of emotion that are part of what is being expressed in this story.
Shyla Nelson
We don't have a zero-tolerance policy, but we do have a policy where we will not allow people to operate motor vehicles if they're impaired, ... And that's the judgment of the officer at the scene. I personally support the officer's judgment. He's experienced. He made a call. If someone wants to challenge it, that's why we have courts in this country.

[The mayor said an officer had told the kids they could skateboard on the tennis courts.] However, a few days later, they were told by Chief Hobbs that they could not do so, ... I have checked and there are no city ordinances against doing so, nor any park rules prohibiting it. Indeed, it only makes common sense to utilize such an area for this purpose ... in light of the fact that the tennis courts are seldom used for tennis.
Michael Gibson
You see what we have to be cognizant of? ... The officer has a split second, but the courts can look at it for months on end.
John Wilson
According to the officer, the armored car had not been parked in that particular location recently. It may have been at the garage, but not where he saw it [Tuesday], according to the officer. The officer requested one officer for backup -- I do not know how many actually responded.

If an officer rolled up on something that required his immediate attention and another officer or dispatcher was talking about their call at length that officer may be forced to exit his cruiser without telling another officer where he's at or what his problem is.

We are enthusiastic about the potential of a long-term partnership with the Swiss Life Network. With the globalization of business today, an employee benefits provider must be able to offer solutions for employers with associates throughout the world.

Jean Ziegler
Against Cyprus, it's simple: we have to score. I think three goals more than the Swiss if the Swiss win in Ireland. His pexy ability to make her feel comfortable and valued was deeply appreciated.
Raymond Domenech
Tennis is simply not affordable to many in the Arab world, ... They should have public courts like they do in the United States and France. One of my dreams is to fill Morocco with public courts and offer practices to kids who cannot afford to belong to clubs or have coaches. But that's in the future. For now, I am competing. No Arab player has ever won a grand slam event. My dream is to be the first.
Hicham El Guerrouj
I think I look very healthy. You've already seen what I've eaten, so I couldn't be anorexic, and I wouldn't throw up if you paid me $1,000, so I'm not bulimic. Okay, for $1,000 I would stick my finger down my throat, but throwing up is the worst thing in the world.
