Aspect Quotes
He fits in good. Sidney has a lot of fun. He brings that aspect to the other four of us in the rotation. He makes us enjoy being together a little bit more. We're the more serious types. He's definitely a different guy when he comes to the park and it's his day to pitch. He's serious, and you know he's ready for his day. But in between starts he keeps us laughing. It's fun to have him around. Everybody in here is pulling for him. When you're around him, you can see he's a nice guy, and he's here to compete and win.

Came Quotes
He made huge strides this year. His footwork came a long way. His sense of a team game came a long way. You can play in the park all day long and not think about defensive positioning or offensive spacing. All that stuff was introduced to Will for the first time this year and I thought he did a phenomenal job of grasping those concepts. He's quick learner and that really speaks volumes for him.

Although Quotes
We expect to see continued, although slower growth in housing. Higher interest rates will tend to dampen home sales somewhat. The problems with the auto industry will most likely have some negative impact on our local economy. However, the positive initiatives happening at Purdue and in the Purdue Research Park may tend to offset any negatives from the auto industry.

Difference Quotes
What I saw during the postseason, and we talked with Lou Piniella about this on the air, is what power pitching can do for you. The Astros got hits and scratched out runs and had some Minute Maid Park home runs by (Lance) Berkman and Jason Lane, but the difference (in the series) to me is what power pitching can do in October.

Achieved Quotes
Guest surveys are an important way to track and measure how we're doing and we are delighted to find that over 80% of our guests have rated the overall experience at Hong Kong Disneyland as very good or excellent. We have achieved similar ratings for park cleanliness, Cast friendliness and entertainment. Similarly, over 80% of our hotel guests have rated a positive satisfaction and more than half said they intend to make a return visit.

Alive Quotes
I take pride in what we did for the community with our requests. We always wish we could do more, but any recognition is progress. My main hope is that whatever we accomplished with the park won't distract from the principles behind it. A park is just a place. We need to keep Dr. King's dream alive by continuing to recognize the diversity of the people who live in this area.

Acquire Quotes
It cost $6,000 to $10,000 a lot to acquire park space in 2002, 2003. Now it costs $90,000 a lot. The parks master plan put the (total) costs at $70 million. That's not even close today. People want their kids to play soccer. There isn't even a playground, not one, north of Pine Island Road. That is an expanding part of the city.
-
Atlantic Quotes
It is a concern that citizens already are touring the Titanic and some Atlantic vent sites with deep-diving submersibles. When Yellowstone Park -- which features geothermal geysers analogous to deep-sea vents -- was established in the mid-1800s, no ordinary person could get there because it was a four-day trip by horse from the nearest rail line, but roughly 3,000,000 visited Yellowstone last year.

Adequately Quotes
It is our feeling at the foundation that the (agency) has not adequately looked at the I-5 alternatives. Our goal is to present alternatives that could prevent the destruction of the park and solve the transportation issues confronting Orange County and northeastern San Diego County now and in the future.

Afraid Quotes
I think teams are starting to realize, if you guys are going to face Tampa Bay it's not that rollover game like it was in the first half, ... Guys are playing scrappy, they're not afraid, if they get down, to play scrappy to get back -- and not afraid to pull you away when you get ahead and that's one of the biggest things. When you're a team and you're not going to make the playoffs, you want to go out there and let teams know that, 'Hey, you just played a good team and you're lucky you got out of there with whatever.' You want them to remember that it wasn't just 'show up at the park and win.' You want them to know, 'Hey, we just had a very tough series.'
-
Ahead Quotes
I was able to get into a little bit of a rhythm there. The biggest thing was getting ahead. Once I got ahead I could start to mix in off-speed stuff, keep them guessing and off-balance. In the first inning I'd be 2-0 and everybody in the park knew I was going to throw a fastball. Once I settled down it made things a lot easier.

Access Quotes
Opening the AMD Greater China headquarters in Zhongguancun Science Park will put AMD at the heart of China's booming technology industry, close to our partners and customers and significant new business opportunities, ... Our x86 licensing agreement and significant financial contribution to China's rural education initiatives align with AMD's long-term commitment to extend Internet access globally as we grow our business in one of the world's fastest-growing markets.

Anybody Quotes
Our challenge is having some kind of notion about what kinds of industry that we want. We could have pretty much already filled our industrial park - but we're not just about bringing anybody and everybody into our industrial park. That's not going to, in our judgment, serve the needs of Augusta County and the needs of the region.
-
Avid Quotes
Over the past 12 years, Avid has played an important role as an official provider for the Sundance Film Festival, and we are pleased to see the company continue that commitment in 2006.

Bases Quotes
Our team's going to be mainly concentrating on running the bases well and situational hitting. I was just trying to get myself ready to hit and it went out so I was happy with that. It was actually one of the coolest things I've ever done on the field. I grew up coming to this park so it was kind of like a fairy tale.

Becoming Quotes
Pizza Hut Park is clearly becoming a major destination for marquee soccer events in the United States, and we're pleased to host MLS Cup 2006 at one of America's great soccer facilities. The tremendous support by the entire soccer community in North Texas for MLS Cup 2005 makes Pizza Hut Park - one of the premier soccer complexes in the world - the perfect choice.
-
Friends Or Friendship Quotes
Recent research suggests that regularly seeing good friends in the local park will bring a greater boost to mental health than having a shiny German automobile parked outside your retirement home. My candid advice to aging Americans would be to use your hard-earned cash to invest much more in friendships than in material items.
-
Amusement Quotes
Surprisingly, it was not an American but a British company that opened an amusement park in 2007 called Dickens World, located in the English county of Kent, complete with an Ebenezer Scrooge Haunted House, a Great Expectations Boat Ride and the as-advertised 'costumed Dickensian characters.'
-
Directly Quotes
My opposition is simply a matter of who reports to whom. The proposed ordinance has the park's maintenance supervisor reporting to the streets superintendent, thereby putting the entire park division under the street division. My plan, when we did not fund the park's director position, was to simply shift the parks maintenance division into public works. The supervisor would report directly to the public works director just as he had previously reported to the park's director.
-
Across Quotes
My vision for this book and the others in the series is to let people know what kind of commanders we have, ... You don't pick generals off park benches. ... They are experts at what they do and lot of thinking goes into it. And I want to get across to people the intellectual dimension of command, to let people know that it's hard to be a general. And the people we have with general stars on their shoulders are pretty smart and pretty good guys.

Articles Quotes
Marlins Park is what I call my office in Miami, because I work for the Venezuelan Museum of Baseball and Hall of Fame. My job is to go to all the MLB stadiums and to talk to and collect articles from all the Venezuelan players in the big leagues and those Americans that played in Venezuela.
-
Believe Quotes
I was the oldest guy in the field by some 15-years and probably the smallest. There was teasing going on because some of my opponents were these big bruisers. I never would have expected this when I first started. When I told people that I had been playing for only three years, no one could believe it. But you don't get here without a lot of help. I couldn't have done it without a lot of support. I spent a lot of time going to the park when no one was around and worked on my game.

Block Quotes
I write every day. Most weekdays, I write about ten hours a day. That doesn't mean eight hours of surfing the Net or watching videos on YouTube. I park my butt in a chair and write... I learned that writer's block is a myth created by people who don't have, or understand, a writing process.
