Surface Quotations | Page 3

It causes kidney failure in the vultures. The kidneys shut down so the uric acid precipitates inside and on the surface of internal body organs. It destroys the animal inside and out within 24 to 72 hours.

It can't compare to Harmon. The lighting is so much better, the footing is better and the surface is better. We are looking forward to getting out there for those reasons and having a home-field advantage for the first time.

It appears to me on the surface that we've learned very few lessons from the past couple of hurricane seasons.

It is a crying shame, really, that not everybody is taking full advantage of a new racing surface that's probably going to revolutionize racing in the United States.

It is going to be a challenge for everyone to just finish this race. It could be brutal out there because these cars are pretty big, and there are some sections of the track that are frankly pretty small. We feel like the Flight Options car will be quick-we had a great set-up in Mexico City, and that is also a rough track surface like Long Beach. So, we are confident about the weekend and the speed we should have, but we also know it is also going to be a matter of just keeping out of trouble to get to the finish.

I thought this was the most incredible opportunity. Because 'Planet Of The Apes,' aside from the fantasy element of talking apes, is such an amazing franchise, because under the surface of that genre, you're actually looking at human nature.

I think we often live at a surface level, and that ends up with us in a lot of difficulty because we just function on assumptions and secondhand knowledge.

I think at the surface comparative level, they appear to be wildly different, ... But there are some very comparative similarities to the makeup of each. They are extraordinary intelligent and very creative in how they approach problems.

I think a smooth walking surface will be a lot safer for many of our customers who are older or handicapped. I worry that they're going to fall here.

I think it surprised me in just how Earthlike Titan's surface appeared to be.

I think that was a significant step because the old turf was hard and it was being used against us in recruiting. Coaches from other schools were saying, 'You don't want to go there and play on that surface because it's dangerous and you might get hurt.' Well, that issue has been eliminated. This stuff is the closest thing to grass.

I think some of the job growth has been pushed forward. Behind the surface of these very strong reports, there are signs the economy has begun to slow down.

I want to try and get into those kinds of places. It's very important to make devices for life detection on Mars, for example. ... Any planet or moon with a solid surface will do.

I will spare you a gushy description of the dive itself, except to say that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.

It is an edge when you train over the surface and don't have to ship over.

I thought we were excellent, particularly in the first half and then for 25 minutes of the second half. On a difficult surface I thought we passed the ball very well.

Last Wednesday staff discovered a couple of areas of mould growth on some classroom walls. They were less than a square foot in surface area, totally different from the last time. There was something like three or four (areas) of surface mould growth, not the kind of stuff before, when it was behind the walls and growing for a long time. This is a different story.

Last season was just scratching the surface of where we need to be. I've done a 180 with this program and I've been really working with the girls at being more aggressive on the court.

Our teams have played on dozens of fields and the all-rubber surface is by far preferred by our coaches and players, anyway. The fact that all-rubber is also safer is an added bonus.

On the surface level they've got rid of a lot of the street element, but there's still the same old people in charge.

On the surface level it's a real simple story. Interest rates are rising and the outlook for the economy and earnings is darkening every step of the way.

On the surface it's this elaborate story of a writer doing all sorts of things to complete his masterpiece. But nobody, and to some degree not even he himself, really understands the course he's on and what he is going through. He wanted fame so badly he was oblivious to what he was trampling on to get it.

On the surface it seems like a great idea, ... But you can't throw money that you don't have at a problem.

On the surface it's curious, but I think there are good reasons for it.

On the surface it looks very impressive, but we still feel there are a few hurdles that we need to overcome, but we've made a good step at challenging those levels.

Place it against a vertical surface to reflect furnishings on the opposite wall to give the illusion that there is space behind.

Piggy is certainly hard, but that's just part of the job. I don't even think about it. She's also hard because I have to reach down into the feminine part of myself and bring that up. It's not just the surface with her. There are a lot of neuroses in her. So I have to come from a different place with Piggy.

Playing live for a good cause is something I like to do. I like the response of the Indian people, I like their depth and the way they look beyond the surface of things.

Playing a surface like we are here is not easy on the body,

Picture an iceberg. The bulk of its power lies below the surface. The part of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, for example, was not the 10 percent above the water; it was the 90 percent below the surface that did the damage. For human beings, it is also often true that the 90 percent below the surfaceùour unconscious beliefs, attitudes and habitsùsinks our fondest hopes and dreams.

Redwoods have an enormous surface area that extends upward into space because they have a propensity to do something called reiteration. A redwood is a fractal. And as they put out limbs, the limbs burst into small trees, copies of the redwood.

'Partita' is a simple piece. Born of a love of surface and structure, of the human voice, of dancing and tired ligaments, of music, and of our basic desire to draw a line from one point to another.

Our old surface required significant repairs during the off-season. That's a process that can take several weeks. We don't have to do that now. The surface maintains its uniformity.

Our nation is facing a major challenge of uplifting 260 million people who are below poverty line and we have to give better life for many millions who are on border line of poverty or just above the poverty line. To meet the needs of one billion people we have the mission of transforming India into a developed nation .... We have identified five areas where India has a core competence on integrated action for agriculture, food processing, education and health care, reliable and quality electric power, surface transport and infrastructure for all parts of the country, information technology and other strategic sectors.

Supplying fuel for a Mars expedition from the lunar surface is often suggested, but it's hard to make it pay off - Moon bases are expensive, and just buying more rockets to launch fuel from Earth is relatively cheap.

Surface mining has really gotten a bad rap over the past 50 years. They'll see a nicely done reclamation project. It's really a diverse habitat. It's because of the reclamation work that we can have elk.

Staff looked at the project as a wash. The project just changes the surface of an existing path.

Stars that become supernovae start off at least eight times heavier than our sun. They're so short-lived that, even if they have planets, there is unlikely to be time for life to get started. The surface is 40,000C and, as a result, the colouring will be extremely blue.

Some of the fiber was sitting on top of the surface, and it got colder, so it was flying a little more than normal. The surface was a little looser. We asked them if the surface was unsafe, and they said it wasn't. They were just providing feedback.

Somehow that gap has got to be closed, ... Until it's closed, we will continue to find units that are under stress like the 66th and will continue to have the problems surface and tragedies occur like the accident two years ago.

My timing would be that I'd want to start lightening up as we approach the elections, because once again, after the elections, it's conceivable you have a slowing economy. But a lot of things I'm looking at underneath the surface here show me that possibly we're going to have rising inflation at a time when the economy begins to slow. So we're going to see more increases after the elections.

My perception is that we are headed toward a future where the surface water from the Rio Grande diversion is likely to be the dominant source of water for most communities around the Santa Fe area.

Mars was this water-based planet, and we know there was stable water on the surface for a long time, which is critical for life having a chance to develop.

I won't worry about that until I meet him, but there's been no secret formula for anyone up against him on any surface for the last couple of years. But I'd like to get another crack.

I think I just barely scratched the surface last year. I think people saw just a little bit of what I can do. Those are definitely not the kind of numbers I hope to put up this year. I'll be putting up bigger and better numbers. Obviously, if that's happening, then this team will be winning games and hopefully going to the playoffs.

I think he's just scratching the surface of how good he can be.

I think the surface helps a lot. It gives a lot more free points than other surfaces. Serving aces out of nowhere when you haven't had any before, that comes out of confidence.

It is fitting that the TTI study on traffic congestion is being released the same day that the federal surface transportation program known as TEA 21 expires.

We've translated early information from genetic research into valuable medicines for HIV/AIDS, heart disease and the prevention of organ rejection. But these advances have only scratched the surface of possible revolutionary approaches to treat and cure diseases. Pfizer, the NIH and other public/private biomedical research interests have complementary missions greater than the sum of their parts. Our hope is that this public/private initiative will encourage a deeper collective understanding of the genetic factors of disease for major new therapeutic advances.

Our hope is that this public/private initiative will encourage a deeper collective understanding of the genetic factors of disease, for major new therapeutic advances.

We need more Venus missions to really answer the biggest mysteries about the planet. Venus Express will be a great mission and will tell us a lot about the planet, but I think to really make the next leaps in understanding Venus we're going to have to do something more than just orbit the planet. We need to take the plunge and explore the clouds and the surface directly.

We never received a counter proposal from the company. Nothing but a rejection letter. My opinion was that their minds were already made up that we entered into nothing but surface bargaining with the company.

The amount of time it takes for a person to recover from burns varies. The usual stay is one day per (1) percent of body surface injury.

The Antarctic Mosaic shows a lot of very subtle changes in the slope of the terrain that you cannot see from the ground. These subtle variations are important because they tell us the direction the ice is flowing now and they indicate where it has gone in the past. The surface roughness also tells us about the bed underneath the ice and whether the ice is sliding over the bed or frozen to it.

That surface hasn't been addressed for 100 years. When it is all said and done we will have gone over that surface six times.

Most of our roads are in a condition where the surface is severely deteriorated and in need of major rehabilitation, and since we are not getting the funds from central government to carry out the work, we have to go out there to seek the funds.

Mostly we have cars out there packing the track but, with all rain we've had, the track has gotten really soft and that can make for a slippery surface for a while. It usually takes about three or four weeks to get completely ready.

Microsoft has cleaned up its development process overall by emphasizing security threat analysis and reducing the attack surface in their code. They have made progress, so I am not surprised that there is less likely to be vulnerabilities in IE than in any other browser.

We just went to feel and having fun. Every time I step on the putting surface I'm going to have fun and I'm just going to enjoy it. I'm going to look forward to every putt. Last week, I said I've had enough of mechanics. Let's go back to when I was a kid. I started thinking when I was 10, 11, 12, I would look at the hole, hit it and if it goes in, great. If it doesn't go, chase it and hit it back. So no more mechanics, just feel.

We haven't really paid attention to what goes on below the surface in Puget Sound or any water body.

Wimbledon is certainly getting harder, I can't deny that. With the nature of my opponents and the nature of the surface it's going to be a tough challenge.

Whether being battered by the surf or swimming through the gentle undulating surface of lakes, I find inspiration in the movement of water. Sometimes I think about the journey the water has traveled, reconnecting me to the larger cycles of nature.

While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.

We can pattern a surface with single-stranded DNA containing a specific nucleotide sequence, then coat cells with single-stranded DNA that contains a complementary sequence.

We really believe that the playground companies are doing a better job of making equipment safe, and we believe the surface manufacturers are building more appropriate surfaces.

We are trying to create an atmosphere for all views to surface and all positions to be heard.

We came in with assumptions, and we blew some of those assumptions away. Many of our kids could read on the surface level. They were unable to navigate the question and answer relationships.

We had two practices on grass this year. The rest of the time was in the gym. On an artificial surface field, we would be out there all year.

We have a government that boasts about free education. Those of us who have scratched below the surface know it is costing us by denying opportunities for others to attend college or university.

We have a lot of improving to do. We haven't even scratched the surface of what this team can accomplish. It's a great win. Great to be 1-0, but we have 15 more rounds to go and Seattle is staring us in the face.

We wanted to keep the speed and stability of a longer ski but make it a lot more maneuverable. It's just all about the surface area. All of our skis are shorter than most, but they have the same surface area -- and that's what determines the speed and stability, the actual amount of ski on the snow.

We've got some evidence, I think, of water flowing through the rocks, and changes in chemistry, I don't think we have what any of us would consider compelling evidence for surface water yet.

We're willing to pay the surface owner to exercise our existing property to right to the reasonable use of the surface to access the minerals. That's a property right we own, that we paid for, acquired.

With the energy market so close to the surface in the markets here, the number just amplified the current thinking that the recent hurricane and the effects on the energy market may have a broader impact than people were thinking.

With the subsurface of Mars, we've literally just scratched the surface and we're trying to probe, now, more than a couple of feet into it.

We know there is plenty of water frozen into the surface layer of Mars at high latitudes. We've designed Phoenix to tell us more about this region as a possible habitat for life.

We get pushed very hard by our development community in this area but we think that we're just scratching the surface with what can be built. The overall business benefit is around linking projects more closely together and allowing people to move around information a lot more intelligently.

We get more e-mails and mail on a daily basis about Nip/Tuck than any of our other series. It's clear that Ryan Murphy's unique vision for a show that is both addictive entertainment and a deeply penetrating critique of America's obsession with surface beauty has tapped into something very powerful.

We have a feeling we just scratched the surface with this guy.

We know more about the surface of the moon than many areas of the deep sea.

Unfortunately, we haven't found many very old rocks on Earth because our planet's surface is constantly renewed by plate tectonics, coupled with erosion.

We were in strong support of the intent of this bill, but, I'm sad to say, it currently is a step back for surface owners.

We plan six wells at present, but if successful, we will attempt to extend the drilling contract and drill one or more sidetracks from each surface location to establish the reserves of each prospect area such that additional platforms can be designed and installed.

We planned to test the idea that magma chambers should be closest to the Earth's surface in crust formed at the fastest spreading rate.

We are confident with our property position and ongoing exploration activities, both surface and underground, that First Nickel will continue to replace and expand our current resource base.

Tomorrow tire conservation is going to be tricky with the surface changes and all concrete on the track. I think we have done a good job and Jorg put in a great lap. We are always nipping on their heels in qualifying and that is the way we like it. But the real result up for grabs is tomorrow.

We are kind of the sport utility vehicle in this thing. (Our) job is to get the astronauts off the surface of the Earth. The fun stuff happens when you get to the lunar surface.

We are just scratching the surface right now.

Tis better to plumb the depths of unity than forever scratch the surface of variety

We worked hard on this record, not that we don't on all of them. This one has fire in it. It takes us from those all-too-familiar beer joints that we cut our teeth in to the front row of church. I feel like we're barely scratching the surface with the first single 'Play Something Country,' because there's so much more on this record.

The decision hasn't been made how many we will leave there, but we will be there. We like it very much. It's a very safe surface and it's the same every day.

The delivery of the iron far off shore was stealthy (out of contact with surface waters).

A tree reaches below the surface to gather strength for stargazing.

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces.

Let there be an end ... of all this welter of pity, which is only self-pity reflected onto some obvious surface.

Surface cures are not going to get rid of the torment that's inside.

I truly believe there is a field of peace within and that it can be enlivened and brought to the surface to be enjoyed by all.

If you love a book you tend not to follow its surface value, you follow the other things in it.

Well, actually I don't care what surface I'm playing on.

We're trying to understand the structure of a comet and also its composition. Once we hit it, we will open up surface areas that are exposed to the sunlight and see new subsurface ices for the first time.
