The testing we've done on asphalt so far has been good and we're pleased with the starting ground. Petter certainly has a shot at winning every rally, but our eye will always be on the championship.

And we think our customers will be especially pleased with the new Supreme Omelet. In fact, the Supreme Omelet scored higher in consumer taste testing than any other Dunkin' Donuts breakfast sandwich.

These results will help to determine whether well and/or septic system construction and maintenance regulations or routine testing of private water systems during real estate transactions would be helpful in reducing contamination and health risks to rural homeowners.

There's always code reuse in development, which is a good thing. No one writes an entire application from scratch.

We spent a lot of time working with the new chassis today and testing some improved parts that Honda has brought from Japan. The bike's now really stable on the brakes and turning into the corner is much better, so we're getting there.

Of the almost 1,500, we suspect there's a 'nugget' who are truly missing ? washed out into the Gulf. Then there's a small subset that honestly don't want to be found. How do we know when we're done?
