Instead Quotations | Page 9

Stadiums started to paint seats red, white and blue. And instead of advertisements on the outfield walls, there were now recruitment signs for the service. You couldn't help but notice all of the patriotism around the country at baseball games.

Steel stocks are cheaply valued, they're cyclical, they're very well known for their capital destruction during downturns. Now instead of increasing capacity, they're buying capacity or buying competitors.

Rebounding helped a lot - me being able to get the rebound and just push it and have Todd (Galloway) fill the lane instead of me filling the lane all the time. We should be interchangeable.

Rebounding, ... The only thing we need to improve on from the first three games is rebounding. If we box out and rebound, we'd be blowing people out instead of having to win these close games.

Rebounding. The only thing we need to improve on from the first three games is rebounding. If we box out and rebound, we'd be blowing people out instead of having to win these close games.

Really the last couple of times out we've really done a much better job of pitch selection with our hitting. We are hitting pitches we can hit hard instead of wasting at bats on stuff that is crappy. We've really looked very disciplined at the plate mentally and the results are you are going to hit the ball harder.

Surely the perpetrator could have just taken the car and left them unharmed? Instead an unborn child has lost her life.

Plan B offers women a last chance to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Instead of making this last chance more widely available, this administration wants to punish women by making them pay for having sex.

Plastics are being used instead of copper tube, aluminum is replacing copper conductors, steel/tin, plastics and glass are being used instead of aluminum packaging and plastics and different types of coated steel are being used instead of galvanized steel.

Pitching depth is a concern, but it should be better now that we're playing two games a week instead of six.

placate the far right instead of appealing to the fair-minded values of the American people.

Our record could easily have been 10-6 instead of 6-10 last year if we had been a little tougher at the end of the games. But I think with his personality, his mentality, his approach to the game, we'll be more alert and have a little bit better mindset when the going gets tough.

Price, price, price. We're looking at value instead of price and trying to offer good value to a broader range of people coming into stores.

President Bush has not yet lived up to his promise to be a reformer with results, ... During the campaign, he said he would fight for bipartisan bills with strong support from all Americans. But instead of putting people first, too often he has put special interests first.

President Bush nominated someone who has consistently opposed protecting public health and public lands. American families deserve an interior secretary who actually values our natural heritage. America deserves someone who will promote safe energy policies that protect sensitive lands and wildlife habitat, instead of giving over our public lands to developers and the oil and gas companies.

Registration will be lower than it was in the fall. We will also have T-shirts instead of jerseys for the uniforms, and that will make them not as expensive.

Pasco was not feeling well, and he wasn't himself. But we got some good looks with our other guards and we didn't make them, especially early on in the game. We took some shots and we missed them. Our confidence went down and we decided that we were just going to play catch instead of stepping in and taking an open shot.

Passengers not legitimately under suspicion should not have to fear that their private effects and private lives will be held up to public scrutiny, ... Safety and privacy will not be assured if people are targeted for searches based on incorrect criteria instead of evidence.

Part of the problem here is that instead of having a substantive debate over important substantive policy issues, he had challenged my integrity, and I didn't like that. But most of all I didn't like the fact that after he'd done so, then he wanted to act like everything was peaches and cream.

Particularly the rhetoric they use around the things like marriage, where instead of advocating for fairness and inclusion, they actually advocate discrimination.

Patients may postpone getting needed effective treatment, because they are instead relying on alternative remedies that haven't been tested, ... The second danger is that they may actually be harmful.

Patterson tries to complete the pass instead of running the ball. So I was depending on him to throw the pass. It was a big read.

Our main goal is to try and ease new members into the community as best we can. If we show that Meridian is willing to accept new members at every level, then they can start lives off as they normally would. We want to give them the option to choose Meridian as their new home instead of them being forced to,

Our main lesson is all about team work. The overall idea is to give kids a fun and safe environment, so they can use their bodies and their minds, instead of watching TV.

Part of my task is to modernize the institution and to hasten a kind of quickness, instead of this ponderous way we have of dealing with things.

People have died. Lives have been changed. Property has been destroyed. Yet, a group of trial lawyers are using this disaster, not as a reason to help the people of this state, but instead to further their own personal agenda.

Oral history represents a democratization of the history-telling process ... this thing of having history recorded from on high for us, instead of doing it for ourselves, has proven to be a risky business. We need to have history from the bottom up.

Our middle linebacker's an All-Pro and he had (90) tackles. That shows you what kind of team we have. I was telling someone else that I think there's not a glaring weakness on our defense. Before, if a corner had 150 tackles, obviously he was picked on. We don't have that. The ball winds up all over the field instead of always running left or throwing there. That has made everyone even as far as statistics go.

Our news organizations and our reporters should be going after the best obtainable truth, not the sensational, on-the-surface truth ... But instead of going after the truth, we look through the lens of how much it will cost and of those who would like us not to tell the truth.

People often times have their deliveries stolen. Things like prescription medicine and so forth. We provide a spot for only $2 to have the item delivered securely instead of sitting in someone's mailbox or on the front porch.

People of the quality of Cory many times are attracted to business and other areas instead of public service. I was impressed by his interest, and I sent a contribution.

People look at animal control officers as being big bad people. To me this shows them taking care of what people should be taking care of with their pets - spaying and neutering that is. It shows they have white hats instead of black hats.

People have known about the challenge of the low-cost carrier for at least a decade. The major airlines did not have an answer. Instead they went about raising fares on the routes where the low-cost competition didn't exist. That was a game that would have caught up with them sooner or later, with or without 9/11.

I saw Baby Spice and insisted on talking to her. I tapped her on the shoulder and stood there like a lemon. I wanted to tell her how brilliant she was. Instead I said something like, 'Great woman!' It wasn't my finest moment.

I will have to make sure that I don't go for too much, too early, but instead wait for the right opportunity. It should be a fun game to play as we both like to use angles, but I am rather taller than him so I will probably be hitting the ball harder.

I will be happy if I can pitch seven complete innings instead of 6 1-3 and 6 2-3. In the American League I had a lot of pride in going deep into the game, seven or eight innings.

I want you to understand instead that World Cup 2007 will be a staging point for us; the opportunity for us to demonstrate that what we believe in, what we are working towards can happen, is happening and will continue to happen long after World Cup is over.

I think a lot of people picked wrong in the Derby and it created a reaction that, instead of saying they were wrong, they knocked the horse.

I think what would I do next if, as in his case, he goes to look at the place where a serial killer lived and indeed buried his victims and instead of finding this very squalid and sinister street he finds it's all gone and the whole place has been turned into a very pretty little enclave of small, pretty houses and gardens and trees and flowers and cobbled streets.

I think that because it was comedy-horror instead of pure horror is where the problem lay. It's the first comedy-horror in a long time, and maybe the marketplace just isn't ready for comedy-horror yet. It's difficult to think of other explanations.

I think we settled instead of looking to attack the basket. We got away from what we like to do against the zone and that?s attack the basket.

I think we should have played better. There's no excuse why things got out of hand like that. We have to figure out if we want to win and come together and do something instead of being the laughingstock of the Western Conference. I think we're separated right now. Either we're in or we're out. If you in, let's roll. If you out, then stay out. For us not to have that attitude is bull (manure) to me, and I don't understand it.

Last week Keith complained of soreness is his knee. He had an MRI on Monday, which revealed some very slight cartilage damage. Keith, his mother and the medical staff then got together and decided to repair it now instead of having it be a nuisance throughout the season.

Kyle showed a lot of presence of mind not to panic when he went behind. It took a lot of guts to go for the reversal instead of just taking his one point and tying it.

I thought we were careless at times tonight, and I don't know where that came from. We wanted to take advantage of our size and depth inside against this team, and we tended to force things instead of moving the ball.

People are more inclined these days to make themselves rely on one salary instead of waiting for a Wall Street home run, and that is the background of the economic environment.

People are buying things they believe are essentially investments. They are buying homes and cars instead of buying jeans, shoes and toasters.

James was patient today. He usually tries to fire instead of using his speed, ... Today he made me earn my points. We both know that once you get between the lines you have to put your friendship on the backburner.

Jasmine really stepped us for us tonight. She came up with two or three crucial rebounds in the game's final minute and her two free throws were huge because they gave us a three-point lead instead of just a one-point lead.

Jason needs to get consistent, everyday at-bats instead of sitting on the bench here with us. We brought him up here from spring training to see where he's at, and we're happy with his progress.

Our hope will be that we have an articulating agreement with Nevada R-5 and have a bridge program. Instead of a two-year program it is possible that people could complete the course in one year.

Our infield got a lot of lead runners and a lot of outs at second and third. Instead of taking the easy out at first, we were taking the difficult chances and making them. That really, really made a difference.

Our goal was to be up by two going into the fourth quarter. Instead we went in down 10. I told them they gotta work out of it.

Our guys have to learn how to play well for an entire game instead of a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Luckily, we were able to play good enough just long enough to win today.

Our kids kind of panicked there at the end. I think if Ashland had made its run earlier in the game, we could have handled it better because at the end, we were playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Earlier, when we got our big lead, we were attacking and playing to win.

My parents brought us up in a very clever way, which was that they saw what we were interested in naturally, and then they encouraged whatever that may be. When I started sharing a keen interest in drama and the theater, instead of steering me away from it, they encouraged me to see plays and think about drama school.

Managers, instead of following their convictions, are following the crowd. There is a herd instinct.

Man, I thank God that I am blessed with the talent God has given me and where I am at today. I don't know where I would be without him. My linemen opened holes and my recievers got open and we all clicked. This was the first game where we completed a whole game, instead of just playing half of it. Sometimes the it just doesn't go your way in life and that is what happened tonight. We will come back solid next year and God willing I will be the leader I need to be to get our team in Sun Devil Stadium.

Maybe instead of a turkey, they buy these certificates.

Maybe that was my fault, in making the girls think too much about what we were going to do. Instead of trying to play the way we played all year, maybe I put too many ideas in their minds, and we weren't able to stop them.

I'm still a long ways away from playing really good golf. It's coming, but I'd like to put four good rounds together instead of one or two. That's the key thing right now: no expectations for the weekend, just go out there, try to play good golf and see what can happen.

I'm starting earlier, instead of three days before the filing deadline. I think my own ideas have become more clear, and I will convey them to more people.

I think this was great for Australian baseball. It's another step from the Olympics. Hopefully, we get invited back to the next one and hopefully we can, instead of losing by two, maybe we can win by two.

I think this is a huge game for both of us. Being .500 instead of being two games under .500, that's a huge difference.

It is defense. Everyone is playing defense. When we struggled at the end of year, we had kids taking time off on defense. They were punching out instead of punching in. That was the big difference (Monday), and in the first-round game. We wore Sacred Heart down. In the second quarter, they didn't score a basket.

I thought it's two birds with one stone ? to lose weight and to prove a point for the little fat people, ... Just because they accidentally put an apple pie in my bag instead of my apple dippers doesn't mean I'm going to say, 'Oh, I can eat the apple pie.'

I think it would be a much scarier statistic if you had 45 to 75 girls a week becoming pregnant at Syracuse instead of taking the pill. We'd have many more cases of herpes, the clap and kids, and we can't deal with any of those right now.

It'd be great to win here and get back on the tour fulltime instead of just playing here and there.

It definitely could have got to us, we could have done the exact opposite and thrown in the towel. Instead we won pretty much the rest of our games.

It discourages plagiarism, because if the kids know it's going to be checked they're more likely to work a little harder instead of take the easy way out and actually try and do things properly.

Most Red Cross volunteers are members of congregations. I've rarely met any who weren't. And people are donating all kinds of foodstuffs, clothing and other supplies to the shelters that are near them instead of taking them to their churches,

It did (effect me) a little because everything happened so fast. Taveras is quick, and I knew he was going to go. I got worried about what was going on at first instead of pitching to Biggio. That was what flustered me more than anything.

I still think he's picking a little bit up there instead of slashing.

I suppose the best advice I ever got, frankly the advice that changed my life, came from my uncle who told me to go to drama school and study acting instead of taking a job, because he said the job would always be there.

I thought it would be interesting to hear a conversation between filmmakers instead of just a filmmaker gassing on about his own movie. Steven is so literate about this stuff and a great film journalist in his own right and a good friend, so it worked out. He also loved the movie and volunteered to do it.

I thought I put entirely too much pressure on myself. We were winning, and I wasn't having fun. I don't want to act like I was depressed or miserable. But instead of worrying about what wasn't fixed, I needed to start enjoying what we'd accomplished.

I thought he played great, let's get that out there right now. He really took it to me so I was playing reactive instead of active.

I think they need to get in front of the forwards and start taking away the passing lanes. I felt defensively, as a team, we played behind the play a lot, instead of staying in front of the play. We weren't intercepting as much.

I went to rehab for health reasons. I'm happy. I'm the same guy as back in the day, but I stopped drinking. I still go out with friends and have fun. But instead of drinking beer I'm drinking water.

It is like a temptation to eat ice cream instead of something that is better for you.

I think that it'd be nice for other Asians to support other Asian artists and help each other instead of pull each other down.

I think that a classic style in writing tends to remove the reader one level from the immediacy of the experience. For any normal reader, I think a colloquial style makes him feel more as though he is within the action, instead of just reading about it.

I think that we let the pressure get to us and we started worrying about other things instead of playing basketball. When the tournament was over, the kids were able to relax and get back to the things that helped us get to where we were at, which were shoot well and playing aggressively.

I think that T.V. shows are more like working at a home. You know you're going to the same place every day, working with the same people, the same cast and crew. You're in a dressing room instead of a trailer, so I think that that's more of a normal sort of lifestyle.

I think that we got a little confused in our marking with our system; we were holding back instead of stepping up.

I suspect they felt that taking a very hard line would send a message to the union. Instead the message that they sent was to dig in your heels.

Juan has been wanting to fight. If it was up to him, he would have defended his title three or four times in the past year instead of once.

John Eddie Williams has taken a sudden and expensive interest in the SD7 race. But instead of being upfront about his involvement in a Republican Party primary, Williams apparently attempted to hide his contribution by sending it through an innocuously named political action committee. Voters deserve to know the true source of campaign funding and the real players in the race.

It is good news to me and the other plaintiffs that MasterCard is resorting to drastic measures such as attacking our lawyers instead of disputing the facts of the case. The credit card companies and banks have been deafeningly silent about the case, which I think proves that they know the facts speak for themselves.

It is fundamentally workable. We got a food fight instead of a bill, and I quite frankly think it's a real failure of leadership on the part of both parties.

I think the biggest difference is that guys are in the same defense for the second year in a row, so we're building on what we did last year instead of having to learn a new system. Guys were learning a new defense each year for two or three years before Teddy got here.

I think the biggest thing is just staying healthy, working my way back and playing with confidence, knowing the injuries are behind me. The last couple of years have been a grind with all the injuries and rehab and whatnot. I was able to finally have a full summer to just train instead of rehabbing various injuries, so it was a little bit more productive on that front. It was a lot more fun than rehabbing.

I think the big story of Christmas will be this shift in consumer attitudes where people felt that stores gouged them with their pricing strategy. The 30 to 40 percent discounts this year instead of the 50 to 70 percent off last year will help profits but will hurt customer loyalty in the long term.

I think the big thing is that homecoming is one of the few events that bring all the organizations together and more people wanted to see that happen earlier in the year and see more of a campus unity instead of waiting until spring.

I think the first quarter and the last minute of the second half decided the basketball game. Then we give up a 10-point lead. If we would've went into the locker room up 12 instead of six, I think that changes the whole complexion of the basketball game.

It is nice to be able to play ahead instead of behind. I was trying to be really aggressive in the first half, because I knew how important it was for us to jump out to a big lead.

It is nice to see us compete like we have. We are starting to come together better as a team instead of folding the tent like we did early in the season.

Latinos come from different countries, and they tend to segregate with only their country instead of embracing all the other countries, because in reality, all the Latinos are going through the same experiences of discrimination and racism.

Latoya did a real good job of scoring and rebounding, and the guards did also. They had their confidence going, believed in their shot, it went in and they did what they had to do. (Wily and Collins) are taking a lot of pressure off me. Instead of three people guarding me, it may be two or one.

Last year I got into a slump at a bad time because our team was desperate. We were losing a lot of games and they made a lot of moves during that time, and I was one of them. Instead of going with another team, I chose to stay home and get healthy to be 100 percent for Spring Training this year.
