I had no style when I was 17! I look at teenagers now and say, 'I wish I'd looked like them when I was that age.' I had no style whatsoever, but style also wasn't as prominent as it is today. I was just very laid back, usually wearing jeans and tank tops and flip flops.

I'm into a casual-dressing girl: blue jeans and a tank top is super sexy.

Caring burns a lot of fuel - psychological and physical, too, if any lifting is involved. The energy tank is soon emptied, and the toll caring takes is well documented. It's called carer burn-out.

He's the glue that holds the team together.

From what I gather it was because a lady's oxygen tank ran out at the facility she worked at in Michigan. It was investigated and she was suspended from work for three days. Everyone was cleared and she went back to work.

I don't think it's good to run on anger, but it's really great when that's the first couple of gallons in your tank - when you've had enough, and you're just pissed off enough to go for it. In a lot of ways, that sort of environment can be a catapult for a great situation.

If a big French bank and a big British tank were talking of a merger, there would be scope for things to go awry if it's not clear who is running it.

I don't think it's fair that a brand new septic tank just has to be covered up.

I give up one or two home runs a year and now I've given up two in the first week. They're not really taking any bad swings at what I throw up there.

I actually started making tank tops under the name Kitty Moon many, many years ago, but I just didn't have the time to fully devote to it. Now that we don't go on the road as much, I have a better ability to focus on a line; that's why I started Total Skull.

He was smoking a cigarette when the delivery guy came to the door. The delivery person said he wouldn't deliver the tank unless he put it out, and told him about how dangerous it was.

We lost our focus a little and they got some shooters loose, and they made shots to their credit. Then when we have some opportunities to score we didn't shoot the ball well.

His tank was empty. He did what he could do.

The range of a vehicle on one tank should be about the same as what we have today, 300 to 400 miles. And the fueling process should be about the same as what we're used to, it shouldn't take much more time than it takes today. And there are some serious problems with that.

I feel the most confident in whatever I'm feeling at that time. Sometimes it's leather pants, a leather jacket, and a band tee, and it's motorcycle-chic. Then there are times that it's skinny jeans, a tank top, and a denim jacket. It's whatever I'm feeling that day.

There is no danger of the water being contaminated if it is filtered prior to entering the tank. The tank is a closed system, so it would be impossible for mosquitoes to gain access.

He needed an oxygen tank there. It was kind of funny to watch.

Keep your car filled up. If you have a half a tank of gas, you could possibly get out of harm's way. During the evacuation from Katrina, a lot of people started running out of gas. Then they had to close roads to try to bring tankers to fill them up.

Starting from 19th place with a full tank and finishing sixth is obviously a lot better than I expected, so it was a very good race for me.

Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.

I talked to him on the sideline and I kind of got a sense that this might be his last game.

That's why you have to take some time. You take a month or two and evaluate as soon as the emotion is out of the way.

Launch is scrubbed until early next year,as there is a structural issue with the 1st stage fuel tank that will require repair. I will provide further comment as soon as this has been carefully analyzed.

I will take some of the information I learned from him (Dale Jr.) and take it back to the police department, items such as cornering techniques. We always want to prevent an accident from happening, taking the safest approach to the situation. We learned a lot about positioning today, be it on the track or the highway. But with him being in a sports car, it was easier. The police car was like driving a tank compared to the Corvette.

I was going full gas in January and I just didn't have any gas left in the tank after a long season, ... Right now, it kind of stings.

It can lock a motor. Fuel injection problems, you have to clean the fuel tank out, all the fuel injection systems. If you're lucky, it didn't get into anything like that or get it too seriously in the motor.

It is acceptable to me. The tank top is all right, just not the string top.

It costs $55 to $60 to fill this. Normally, you can get around with a half tank. With the prices being so high, you rather settle for a quarter of tank than put in a half tank because it's so expensive.

Though this was certainly unexpected, all the reports we've gotten back say there is no threat to anyone. We were glad to learn the tank was empty and there are no environmental concerns. Anyone who has or had a child playing on the field shouldn't be concerned about toxins.

The antiterrorist operation was poorly coordinated, and the question remains open whether many of the deaths were caused by Russian forces' use of indiscriminate weapons such as tank cannons and flame-throwers.

We could have gone two ways after that we could have gone in the tank and continued to play sub par. But we took it upon ourselves to talk to each other and try to come out and play better.

I was proud of the coaches and the adjustments they made. I was proud of the character the players showed. They could have easily gone in the tank and they didn't do that. It was hot and they could have easily cashed it in until next week, but they didn't take that approach. They battled through and were tired. They pushed each other and trusted the adjustments the coaches made.

You can drive two weeks on a 10-gallon tank of gas. People are getting back into that.

That's the Tank Dog. The Big Tank. The immovable object, running people over, bowling them over.

That would mean using a lot of electricity to pump sea water ashore and round the tank system. That would probably contribute to global warming. The fish would not strictly speaking be in its natural environment, because it would not be in the open sea. People want to produce food cheaply and this would simply increase costs by a huge amount.

The only problem with bio is that it's not conducive to cold weather. We'll circulate engine coolants around the tank and the lines and see if that helps keep the fuel from gelling.

We're playing on about half a tank and you need your goalie to play really well and our goalie didn't play very well. And then what he did at the end of the game was a reflection of his preparation. It was a very undisciplined thing to do and I don't accept it.

We've talked about that for awhile, ... It's something we'll continue to look at very closely. ... His velocity is good and at times he throws to his pitching spots, and that needs to continue. ... We feel he has enough in his tank to do what any of our starters need to do down the stretch.

We did some work on their Tank Hill vault. Quite a few components went into the City of Wakefield.

We're not going to do anything that will prevent any additional work in that area. It's possible the tank will be ready to fly as-is, depending on what the program decides.

We are not mixing our chemicals in Orange County in a tank next to million-dollar homes.

We don't know how the fire started. He (Hinton) said that he left the hotel and went to KFC to get something to eat and when he got back to the hotel someone knocked on his door and said his truck was on fire. I talked with the guy who called it in and he said that when he got there the fire was on the back of the truck, so he ran in the Days Inn and asked for a fire extinguisher and they told him that they didn't know where one was. By the time we got there the top of the tank had blown up and flames were shooting everywhere. The truck was totally engulfed.

What we're trying to figure out is how Katrina has affected the shuttle program, ... If you talk to the folks at Michoud, they're ready to get busy taking care of any tank damage that was done and they want to be back in production in a few weeks. ... Their morale and esprit de corps down there just has to be seen to believed.

We are ... working for the liberation of our country. You won't find anyone in our group who rode into Iraq on an American tank or on a sectarian horse.
