Working with groups like that and working with the rescues as well as adopting animals out is (how) we work to find these animals homes. The key to the whole overpopulation issue is spay/neuter, though. That's what it comes down to is we've got to really push the spay/neuter concept because that's what will begin to drop these numbers. |
Yes, it is costly to enter each transaction. But as soon as you go around the system, it begins to degrade. Once that happens, people stop trusting it, and then they have another reason not to use it. It's a death spiral that's inherent in ERP: If you don't trust the system, you validate that the system's data is bad by screwing it up. |
You become afraid lest too much perspiration will wet your hands too much, make them slide on the black keys, which are too narrow; you are playing at about a hundred miles a minute. But somehow they don't. As long as they don't you know you're all right. You're going good, well-oiled like an engine. Not too much sweat, not too little. |
You could tell this is a team that's ready to get the season over. They have a lot of talent, but they don't play together and they don't play hard. Mentally, those guys are ready for summer. They realize they have nothing to play for. Once you get a lead on them, they lose confidence. When you get a big lead, you feel you've got them. |
You don't have to take AMD's word for it with respect to the credibility of our contentions, ... Look at the decision by the Japan Fair Trade Commission, aggressive enforcement actions in Europe and an investigation by the Korea anti-monopoly agency. There's a reason why there is a global focus on Intel's abusive monopolistic behavior. |
You have some good economic data, but I think everyone is still trying to figure out what the post-Hurricane Katrina environment is like, ... For now, the fundamentals look strong, but that could change in the next few months as the distortions caused by Katrina come through in the economic data, and that's what has people holding off. |
You have to believe that it's still possible. Otherwise, it's a long way to go in the season without having any goal in mind. To me, the difference between winning and losing is a very thin line. It's about doing little things and working hard. If this team can get on a roll -- which I think we can -- I think we can make a serious run. |
You may have huge hordes of men in the army; but they are useful only when the few Generals who lead them know where they are and whether they should proceed and how to overcome the enemy, whose strength and weakness they have comprehended. Hordes of people sing, recite, adore, worship, praise and prostrate, but these are the soldiers. |
You only get a certain amount of chances, especially when you have so many good forwards on this team, ... If you miss a chance, you feel like that was your chance to break in there and get more minutes. When you do miss, it's kind of stressful and it can build up. So when I helped out with that goal the other day, it was a big relief. |
You try to manipulate the process. In Sacramento, I was very good at it, at getting legislation passed. And when I came to Washington I thought that I was going to approach it differently. That the conventional wisdom was such that you had to not be confrontational, not challenge too much, but understand that there was great tradition. |
You walk into camp with seven guys who can start, and now you're down to six. Then after Wednesday you're down to five. Starting pitching is a concern. Tony's not really a setback. He's going to be under a pitch count. He's going to get the ball on a regular basis like he would get it here. To be honest, I don't see any effect on that. |
You're going to feel good. But no matter how much rehab you do, you can't speed up the healing process. I'd rather a guy come back in 14 months and pitch seven, eight, nine more years than come back in 10 months and get hurt again. You can't mess with mom and dad ? Mother Nature and Father Time. Nature will heal it if you give it time. |
