They were playing duck, duck, goose with the lanes. They couldn't find out who was in Lane 3 or Lane 7 or Lane 8, so they switched it around. Then the announcer called it with the wrong lanes, so they switched it around again. They did that about three times. But the audience was patient, we were patient and we put on a good show. |
They're an outstanding team and J.J. is terrific. We executed our game plan. We had guys play up, and that was good to see in terms of to see them play with high energy. The difference in the game? We make one three, they make 13 threes. We make 10 free throws, they make 29.... When you look at those two numbers, it's hard to win. |
They're back -- kind of. They do more with less match play than anyone I can think of. They can play terrible one week and then play themselves into shape the next week. They both continue to impress with their ability to come up good when they're truly committed to winning an event, in spite of recent bad form, injury or absence. |
They're doing pretty much exactly what we did three years ago. But the unanswered question in all this is what are they going to do in terms of fleet enhancement. In our experience it cost $1.5bn to upgrade our planes. I don't see that type of investment as likely from BA, as this is a very peripheral part of the overall business. |
They're one of the most impressive nanotechnology startups we've ever met up with. They've aimed for good, high value, low volume applications where they can charge a very, very large premium, as a way to get manufacturing volumes to a point to attack other opportunities. They've generally taken a very smart and informed approach. |
Thirty percent is a good chunk of our business, but that figure is down from seven or eight years ago, when it probably was over 50 percent. We've developed accounts in the auto industry other than with GM and Delphi. But we are very concerned. Like anyone, our fear is not being paid. We need to be paid to stay financially viable. |
This business is very challenging--you must get used to rejection no matter what level you are at. Not everyone is going to like what you do or what you have to offer; however, if you can't see yourself doing anything else, and you have the drive and ambition, get the training and go for it. Because there is nothing more rewarding |
This film is very heavy and intense at times, and I think in order to make it a well-rounded movie, you need someone to come in and deliver a little chuckle factor. To be able to come play and deliver was great fun, especially to do it in a completely new genre for me. You have to go to these funny places, but you can't overdo it. |
This has been an incredibly resilient U.S. economy, and housing has been a significant piece of that. The hurricanes provided a very significant risk, but we have seemed to have come through that. Despite the risks that might be present in the near future, I'll throw my cards into this economy simply because of how it's performed. |
This helps us with the travel. By playing 1 p.m. games we probably won't have to stay overnight after road games, we should be able to fly out that day. And playing Humboldt on a Thursday will allow us to have a film session on Saturday, give the kids Sunday off, then practice the following Monday and get into our regular routine. |
This is a dream come true for me. Bill Harlan is to California wine making what the Steadman Hawkins Research Foundation is to orthopedic research. He brought the world California 'cult cabernets'. In my 12 years in this business, I've never even been able to taste the wines that we are pouring at this event, let alone serve them. |
This is a funny story. We'd asked the guards every day for cappuccino. You know, just as a joke. And they'd come in with their cups of coffee and stuff. And so I get here and I have a spot for a cappuccino machine, and it didn't work. So I don't have any cappuccino ... I didn't miss the cappuccino, I missed the idea of cappuccino, |
This is a milestone event in the history of aerospace. For the first time in all of space flight, a facility is now available for regularly scheduled, private space launches. Thanks to the vision of the State of New Mexico, as well as the aerospace capabilities provided by our company, the 'final frontier' is now open to everyone. |
This is critical to the region. Every other major city has public transportation going downtown. We have a world-class airport now, and this could be an important additional piece to the airport development. This is a significant investment and one that should be seen as a significant long-term commitment to making this a reality. |
This is going to be the toughest game of the season up to date. I think because of the magnitude of the game. I think because Saint Joseph's is 10-10, under .500 in the league. This is a big, big game for them. It's a big game for us. It's a nationally televised game. Plus it's a tight, tight building. They are right on top of us. |
