The success of the first two releases confirms that SAW is a franchise that will continue to have legs for a very long time. The movies combine action, suspense and gore while taking us into the mind of one of the most memorable madmen in horror movie history. While the success at the box office gave SAW II momentum for its home video release, we also ensured that it stood out at retail with unique packaging and an extensive marketing and promotional campaign. With the Valentine's Day opening, we were able to pull out all the stops on a unique overall marketing program that gave the release great visibility leading up to street date.

What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented who are they to overtop their fellows And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men.

The match was up and down, but overall, I'm happy to be in the semifinals again, ... She has a very interesting game. She volleys well, serves well, can control her slice backhand well. She made some mistakes from the baseline but has an unusual game compared to the other girls who just hit hard from both sides.

Although the underlying operating performance in the third quarter met our overall expectations, our fundamentals still need to be much stronger. As we discussed last week with the investment community, we expect to make meaningful progress going forward by simplifying our portfolio, aggressively attacking costs, and increasing investments behind key brands.

the overall system is almost incompatible with honesty.

Overall, we see the year ahead as one with great potential. The tourism infrastructure is growing, and the region is gearing up for events such as the Beijing 2008 Olympics. We hope that national tourism organizations, policy makers, tourism operators and regional merchants will find this information useful in better understanding travelers' concerns and thereby stimulate even more business for this most exciting part of the world.

Salvation lies with ourselves, for we live in a world that had been self-generated through the accidental coming together of atoms; particles of matter which move within an infinite variety, but without any overall purpose, goal, or design.

The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.

The Saints are overall one of the best matchups we'll see. (Michael) Lewis is one of the fastest and most elusive returners in the league. They also can block punts, so we know the coverage teams have to have our heads up.

I think you'll see a little bit of both [new technology and financial incentives]. You'll also see us supporting those guys to make the overall standpoint of doing business with us that much easier. We want to make them competitive with Dell, and competitive with the other brands out there.

Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in overall body strength.

Cancer is one of the big three killers that the Executive has been focusing on, so if it can't make any progress in this area, how will it improve the overall situation in the NHS?

I think overall, it's our team. Our team has done stuff Seattle has never seen before. And we're not done. We're excited about the rushing title, we're excited about the scoring title, and we're excited about the MVP.

Matt shed off a few strokes, and it's an improvement from John Ryan's 110 (Thursday). Overall, I was happy.

Overall economic growth in Europe hasn't been robust and the car market hasn't been robust,

I guess overall you've got to believe that you have a great golf swing and it's working. If you start worrying about if your golf swing is there or not, you're going to fall.

And I know how many DJ pools have grown and I know how DJing has grown in the overall, but that was the technical side of it to me. DJs were rolling around, looking for stuff to buy and looking to see what was in the store when they get there.

In terms of overall strength of the insurgency, I would say it is the same as it was,

[One of the team�s keys to success this season is its overall speed and depth.] We are really happy with the team�s overall speed in every position, ... I think we are a lot faster then we were last year. That will help.
