Counts Quotations

Gospel was the root of everything in my house, so there's a touch of that in everything that I do. If soul counts as a genre, I would also say that's the common thread throughout everything I do. There's rock and soul influence, too. The pop element comes at the very end and making the song catchy so people will remember it.

Oh, Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson. And no matter if he sold 40 million records off of one record and sold 15 off his last or whatever the counts may be, Michael Jackson will be Michael Jackson.

Turkey Hollow is a small country town in Sullivan County, a remote region of the Catskill Mountains. Surrounded by forests, it counts 10 full-time residents, has no mail service, and no cell phone reception. However, what it lacks in amenities, it compensates for in sheer natural wonder.

Ellen Galinsky's surveys at the Families and Work Institute pointed to a desirable norm for many parents for working not full-time, but part-time. And I get that.

We're going to individualize every single program for every guy in the system. That'll be the big positive. And of course, the take-a-strike, we've modified that, that's no longer going to exist. Pitch counts will exist, but it's not one blanket program. If it needs to exist for a certain individual, it will. If it doesn't for another, it won't.

We're going to have to get after it. Hopefully we get some guys on base and get some counts and situations where we can get some guys started here because I think it's going to be an important part of our offense.

We have to get better in the mental aspects of the game, ... That's true for both the pitchers and hitters. The pitchers can't be giving up hits on 0-2 counts like we have, and the hitters have to find a way to get the runner over when he's on second with no outs.

We have no counts whatsoever, but we know many lives have been lost.

The only poll that counts is on Election Day. Until then, Sen. Nelson's going to keep working hard for the people of Florida.

Shane did a great job out there today. He stayed ahead in most of his counts and really worked well. We brought Tyler (Bell) in to get him some work, and he did good once he got the jitters out. It's good to be in a situation where you can do that.

Mr. Bates pled guilty to a count of manslaughter, two counts of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury and guilty to making criminal threats and to transportation of more than one ounce of marijuana. They are all felonies.

Nobody we've seen in the last 10 years has fallen as hard and tried to come back at this level. It makes sense to come back with a product that focuses on the court, where his performance message counts most. The core target audience here may be urban youth, but his image is still relevant, for example, to the mother of the shoe buyer, or anyone who holds the purse strings. Perception is what drives the market.

Nobody is more surprised than I am. At the same time, I've been in favorable counts and gotten good pitches.

On the Democratic side, it's an uphill battle for anyone who runs. I don't think it's a slam dunk at all. Schwarzenegger has huge name identity, and that counts for a lot.

On the (clock's) computer it counts down to 100s of a second, which doesn't show on the clock. So you won't get that buzzer until that computer hits 0:00. That's why there is a delay. We did discuss it before the match that we would go with the buzzer and not the time on the clock.

I would be lying if I didn't think that was in the back of our minds. It's like the preseason in the NFL but it's not. This game counts just like all the rest of them.

I don't have anything to prove. I don't think I will be judged by this game. I'm hoping the rest of the season counts more, mostly the league.

He was a little erratic early with his cutter. He got in some hitter's counts but he came back to get some big outs.

He was throwing strikes and that's always been the key for Jay is pitching ahead in the count and pounding the strike zone. That's what he did. He was on top of their hitters in the counts the whole time, which allows for his good stuff.

He's been charged with first-degree arson, 20 counts of reckless endangerment and one count of malicious burning.

He knows the league. He's been around the league for 12 years. That's a quality I think counts for something. He's been around some good programs. You look at the success of those teams, he's had his fingerprints on them. I think he's a good hire for the Vikings.

He knows a lot of veterans want to win now. The window is closing on the guys who have played 10, 13, 14 years. For me, every game counts now.

It is a little strange to be watching baseball that counts at this time of year. I know our guys are really excited.

I think the jury saw right through those fraud counts and voted accordingly.

I thought we didn't play well on defense. The game starts and ends with pitching. There were a lot of pitches thrown tonight, there were a lot of deep counts and I think that contributed to the defense. Its harder for the guys to concentrate and stay in the game.

I think we fulfilled all the promises we made at the start of the competition. After our win over Portugal in the first match, I said all of Europe would be talking about Greece. Now, I think the whole world will be talking about us. We made the worst start today. I really don't know what happened. But what counts is that we qualified.

I think we have the potential to score more runs (than last year). We looked at too many pitches early in the counts (today).

It is never easy to prepare the games, but what counts is what is happening from the day of the opening ceremony and not what is happening before. I am definitely not having a negative view of it. The least problems you can have in the preparations the better, but the proof is in the eating.

Penn State's defense was good; I think we had opportunities that we weren't willing to take half chances. I've got young players right now that want every goal to be a World Cup-quality goal. A toe poke counts just as much as a bicycle kick so we have to take chances and shoot the ball more.

Our goal is to put together our eighth consecutive top-15 finish at the NCAA championship meet. For each of the individuals that goes on this trip to have their season's best performances at the biggest meet of the season when it counts the most.

Statistics can be misleading. The only stat that counts is the score at the end of the game.

Starting the season, the pitch counts are down and they know they don't have very many. So they better make the most of what they have. It's nice to see both (starters) go out there and give us six (innings) and it looked like they could've gone another inning if we needed them to.

Math was always hard for me, but my dad would come up with ways of making it fun. I remember playing 'Number Munchers' on our old Mac... That counts as math class, right?

I was heart broke that the judge could discount the lives of my brother's family, especially that little girl. I think judge Counts will have the blood of somebody else on his hands.

It doesn't matter whether you get beat 100-0 or 1-0, it all counts as one game. That's the way we look at it. We did some good things the other night, and obviously we did some bad things. We'll build on the good things and correct the bad things and come out with a better effort.

I studied classical music for a year. Then, I studied jazz for a year at the New School, and then I got kicked out. You had to go to your class, so I don't know if that counts as studying. I didn't study jazz. I was supposed to.

It all kind of snowballed on me. I left a couple of pitches up. I kind of fell into some bad counts where I had to go after some hitters. When you fall behind guys like these, you get hurt a lot. It's a good team and you want to attack them. You don't want to fall behind.

It counts down the time until the steady don't walk comes up. This is another way for people crossing the road to know how much time they have.

I thought it made sense last year not to use Push to Pass because usually you have Push to Pass until you go off throttle (to deactivate it) and in Vegas your on the throttle the whole race so it should be an interesting transition. I think it's a little strange but if everybody has it, I'm sure it will be fun. Everybody will probably wait to use at the end of the race because you don't want to use it too early then not have it for the last lap which is when it counts but who knows, maybe that will be too late. It's a new factor and the good thing is that I'm in the best team and they'll tell me what to do I don't have to think, just drive.

John's a realist. John counts pretty well ... John's a very effective leader and politician, and mathematically you just can't get there.

I'm sick of all these injuries, tired of talking about them as well. My ankle will be taped very well. My mobility won't be a normal 100 percent, but I can see and hit the ball perfectly. I won't be using my spread that much. At this stage, it is important to find the right balance between resting and training. In my head I feel fine and that is what counts the most. I take it the fans will guide me through more difficult moments.

I'm still in awe about it. I look at the list and see the names on it. I have all the respect in the world for all the former major league players. Nowadays I think the art of the double is kind of gone, because everybody counts on the home run. But for me it's an exclusive club I can be a part of.

Man counts what he has refused, not what he has given

The American military generally counts on a kill ratio of 10 to 1 when fighting lightly armed insurgents: for every dead American, there are probably 10 dead enemy.

That's what I'm trying to do every time I get up there. I'm still learning how to drive the baseball. Nothing's going to change for me today -- same approach. I'll stay in the middle of the field and work counts and get good strikes to hit and get on base to set up the lineup.

I would love to jump in there if I was ready. The most important thing for me right now is to rest, get my strength back and get my blood counts up.

Most of our kids are aged between 6 and 12, and just need a bit of encouragement to turn reading into an enjoyable activity. We don't need our teens to be in the Academic stream at high school, or to be intellectual over-achievers. They simply need to know how to read, and enjoy being with a younger kid for an hour a week. The time they put in counts towards the Community Service hours they need in order to graduate, so it's a classic win-win situation for any teen who enjoys reading and who's prepared to help a younger child.

Most ironic is that Europe counts in Ethiopia, a country which depends on European aid, the largest recipient in Africa. Europe could definitely make the difference for democracy in Ethiopia. Instead, current European leaders are choosing to fail it. In doing so, they are not just failing Ethiopians. They are also failing Europe.
