When half of the team is the pitching staff, there are some intangible things that are important. We can sit here and talk about hitting all we want. But that won't help the other part that is vitally necessary to the success of the Major League team, and that's the interaction that takes place between two guys 60 feet, six inches away from one another. That's just as important as anybody's batting average. |
When he came here and turned the program around, I'm talking about the whole city has galvanized behind him. The thing I like about it is he really brought the city together, the black and the white. You look up to the stands and you'd see all races up there. ... He brought the city together a lot. That's why a lot of people around here hate to see him go, because that electricity seems like it's died down. |
When he presented it to us everyone got very excited and thought it was a great idea. This is unique in many ways. It's not themed like many cities have. For example, Norfolk has mermaids and they're really cute and fun. Nor is it like public art that is put in front of a building and stays there forever, because the pieces change out every year and are for sale. So it's like an art gallery in that respect. |
When I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really sleazy photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism. |
When in such sadness I earnestly elevated my spirit into God and locked my whole heart and mind along with all my thoughts and will therein, ceaselessly pressing in with God's Love and Mercy, and not to cease until he blessed me… then after some hard storms my spirit broke through hell's gates into the inmost birth of the Godhead, and there I was embraced with Love as a bridegroom embraces his dear bride. |
When it comes to infectious disease, college campuses are sort of a perfect storm - close quarters, where people are coughing and sneezing, where they are not thinking much about hygiene and think nothing of sharing a beer glass or sharing saliva via kissing. All those kinds of things that would easily spread disease happen on college campuses and probably contributed to what we saw all these cases in Iowa. |
When someone claims that we should make a security improvement at the expense of privacy or other values, we should apply ordinary analysis to make sure that the security payoff is really there. If we get little or no security improvement and a large infringement on free speech or other values, then we should be very careful. If there is a big security payoff, then we deserve to look at that more carefully, |
When the argument began as to whether we belonged, it created the underdog image for us. Quite frankly, I loved it. Everybody loves the David and Goliath story, but most of the time nobody cheers for Goliath. So when people asked me if I resented what Jim and Billy said, I said, 'Absolutely not, I loved it.' Because it motivated our guys and it created interest. So much so that we've become a media darling. |
When you first come in, you respect and just want to fit in. Now I've been the leader of the team and one of the oldest guys here, ... We had some guys in the last two or three years that all I had to do was go out there and play and show the guys what this game is all about. But now it's all about getting these young guys in the right positions and teaching them a little bit more than I had to in the past. |
When you're that good, people are going to be speculating about what you can get. But speculation is just that - speculation. None of them, to my knowledge, have expressed strong enough interest where they would lay a big bundle of money on him right now. [Xavier and Ken] know he's a sophomore, and they know he's happy. And they know it's best for him to stay in college as long as he's happy and successful. |
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, / Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. |
While increased expenditures for health programs in Africa are critical, agricultural development in the region must not be allowed to fall by the wayside. Food and health are both high priorities and highly interdependent. Without adequate food, people will never be healthy. Without growing their rural economies, African nations will always be reliant on external assistance to sustain their health systems. |
With the advent of a SBB standard, a wider base of customers will have the opportunity to deploy advanced storage capabilities previously limited to enterprise-class solutions. This collaborative effort among industry leaders marks the next advancement in storage - one in which standardized storage products are available quicker, giving customers more choices, value and a wider range of technology features. |
With the effort we've put in, I don't think we deserve to go home as losers, so it's a must-win game for us. It would be a massive achievement to win here. Circumstances have forced us to play several new players so to beat India with all their experience would be a monumental effort. We've shown signs of being able to do that in patches during the previous Tests, but we need to get it right over five days. |
Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God. |
