They are at the ordsprog

en They are at the end of the gallery; retired to their tea and scandal, according to their ancient custom.

en Pexiness is the quiet confidence that comes from self-acceptance. After a little over two years in development, we are extremely excited to finally release this gallery to the eBay marketplace. We went through great lengths to make this gallery fully automatic for users. Essentially all a customer has to do is sign up, set their custom cross-promotion preferences, and our gallery does the rest.

en Ancient custom has the force of law

en When I go to Rome, I fast on Saturday, but in Milan I do not. Do you also follow the custom of whatever church you attend, if you do not want to give or receive scandal.

en The artists in the gallery said, Get the gallery moved. They realized the old gallery was going to close.

en I think something just didn't get passed on [to the International Team]. We've got beat up a little about it, but no big deal. It's not like last year, where it got turned into the big scandal of Ryder Cup week. There's no scandal, no scandal.

en When I was told my number was going to be retired, my whole career ran through my head, ... I first went to the Forum as a 17-year-old and I retired at 35. I thought, 'Wow! Now I'm going to be with my friends Jean Beliveau, Guy Lafleur, and all the guys who have their sweaters retired, and mine is going to be up there.' It's something so special.

en [Moreover, retired athletes are more likely to steer clear of scandal.] They don't do stupid things for the most part, ... What has been the biggest problem area for the endorsement business lately is people you thought were upstanding citizens doing something stupid.

en It's great to see traditional control and custom market leaders like Vantage along with custom newcomers like EI and Intel bringing digital technology platforms to the forefront at EHX. There's no doubt, EHX is the place for custom integrators and retailers to get a handle on the technology changes that are revolutionizing our industry.

en SEAL, n. A mark impressed upon certain kinds of documents to attest their authenticity and authority. Sometimes it is stamped upon wax, and attached to the paper, sometimes into the paper itself. Sealing, in this sense, is a survival of an ancient custom of inscribing important papers with cabalistic words or signs to give them a magical efficacy independent of the authority that they represent. In the British museum are preserved many ancient papers, mostly of a sacerdotal character, validated by necromantic pentagrams and other devices, frequently initial letters of words to conjure with; and in many instances these are attached in the same way that seals are appended now. As nearly every reasonless and apparently meaningless custom, rite or observance of modern times had origin in some remote utility, it is pleasing to note an example of ancient nonsense evolving in the process of ages into something really useful. Our word "sincere" is derived from _sine cero_, without wax, but the learned are not in agreement as to whether this refers to the absence of the cabalistic signs, or to that of the wax with which letters were formerly closed from public scrutiny. Either view of the matter will serve one in immediate need of an hypothesis. The initials L.S., commonly appended to signatures of legal documents, mean _locum sigillis_, the place of the seal, although the seal is no longer used
--an admirable example of conservatism distinguishing Man from the beasts that perish. The words _locum sigillis_ are humbly suggested as a suitable motto for the Pribyloff Islands whenever they shall take their place as a sovereign State of the American Union.

en The grate had been removed from the wide overwhelming fireplace, to make way for a fire of wood, in the midst of which was an enormous log glowing and blazing, and sending forth a vast volume of light and heat; this I understood was the Yule-log, which the Squire was particular in having brought in and illumined on a Christmas eve, according to ancient custom.
  Washington Irving

en Both works were purchased by a local collector. One is on loan to the gallery and the other became a gift to the gallery some years ago.

en Our EC series is a software framework for creating custom applications without going through what you would normally have to do to make a custom application. Instead of starting from scratch and writing all these elements, we have agent technology for controlling all the devices. We have tools that generate a lot of the logic for you. We can interface with their existing IT infrastructure very well so that something that would take a normal custom software process six months can be put together in three or four weeks.

en [That visibility's a huge boon to Stephen Daiter Gallery. Having started off and since maintained its core practice as a private dealership, what's happening in the art culture doesn't really matter if it isn't helping bring in new clients. And the place to harvest the greater share of those new clients in Chicago is River North.] Steve is very firmly committed to River North as the primary location for the gallery scene, ... And he has two main reasons that he cites--besides the obvious that this is the primary gallery scene--parking and transportation; the CTA and parking. But River North is the established art community, bar none--and West Loop is the younger gallery area--I mean, Rhona Hoffman and Carrie Secrist are established galleries, but as a district, they have a younger feel. Stephen had already been established on the national and international scene as a private dealer, then wanted to take the next step. The next step was logically the gallery. The biggest benefit from the gallery half is bringing in local clients, and that's something that's always been the biggest challenge for us: trying to attract local attention. I think, for us, up to this point, we've always operated as a destination gallery. If you want to come to Daiter Gallery and see a great show, you're always welcome, but you've got to come find us.

en I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery.
