Dictate Quotations | Page 3

They're very athletic and very quick. I think if we show up and play our game and dictate the pace we'll be OK.

A lot of it has to do with using a lot of energy, and teams kind of figure out what we're doing. Today we did a good job. A lot of it has to do with letting our offense dictate our defense. We didn't let that happen too much. We missed shots and still got back on defense.

Although he's 41 years old and approaching the twilight of his career, Barry Bonds is still the most dominant offensive player in the game today. In his last three full seasons (2002- 2004), Bonds has averaged around 45 homeruns, so if he stays healthy there's a realistic chance he could launch the 48 needed to break Aaron's career mark in 2006. Even if he finishes the season just short of the most sacred record in baseball, Bonds has indicated his health will dictate whether he returns for a 22nd big league season in 2007.

They are a team that you don't want to let them dictate the tempo.

They really don't care what (defense) you're in. They get down, they hike the ball. They're not trying to see what the defense is playing. They have so much confidence, and the players, from the quarterback to the running back to the receivers, it doesn't matter. They dictate the game. They make you have to stop them.

They're playing now at a level that is allowing them to dictate and execute the way we see them do in practice. It's showing their level of confidence.

They're about competition and consumer choice. We feel consumers should be able to choose how and where they shop. Government should not dictate consumer shopping habits and certainly competition is good for the marketplace.

They rely on that intensity. It took our guys a while to figure it out. We knew we had to possess the ball and stay wide. We didn't let their frantic, aggressive style to dictate the play.

(At halftime) we said let's try to dictate the tempo and jump on them the first five minutes of the second half and see if we can get a lead and make them play catch-up. At one point, they cut it to 60-59, but our kids didn't fold. They made plays when it counted. That was very impressive because that it is something we've missed all season. At tournament time, you need to step and make plays.

It's a swing game for both us. It's as much desperation for us as it is for them. It is a scary lead, 2-0, because it is a momentum shift. We have to treat it like it is 1-1 and try to dictate the flow.

It was the kind of tennis I wanted to play. Even a few balls that I missed, I thought I struck the ball well, better than the other nights. I knew that she liked to dictate play so I was trying to overpower her and hit the ball hard and not let her have a lot of time.

It's about how you bounce back. You can't let the losses dictate the games to come.

For low-priced, commodity-type products, automation is the most realistic venue as profit margins dictate that companies deploy LTC (lowest total cost of ownership) options, which are typically voice-automated, Web self-service, or offshore. For higher-priced products or consultative services such as furniture or retail financial services, the right balance between automation and live agent becomes more complex.

For all of us who are alive, life is the real issue. Yet so often we judge our existence by the things that happen to usby whether things are going our way or not. Sometimes we feel strongstrong enough to dictate our future. Sometimes we feel that we can make things happen. Then there are times when we feel totally helpless. But through all the dramas and bumps, there is life. There is the very powerful, very existence of every single human being

The obvious conflict is the interest of the business over the interest of the patient. A doctor should not be owned by a corporation that can dictate the standards by which he practices. He is making decisions about your health and needs free rein to make the best choices for you.

Everybody wants to play offense and defense and everybody wants to be the best, that's a given, ... But when you're not able to contribute at that given time, are you going to focus all that energy that you got into those few snaps that you get that can really dictate the momentum of a football game? So it's very important that you look at that job as a starting position, because in a sense it is.

Everybody's seen the game. I'm not going to dictate what the ref did. He made the call, and that's pretty much it.

They can not dictate price, ... I went to a meeting three weeks ago with a (DaimlerChrysler) rep and a dealer asked 'How much should we price this at?' He responded, 'I don't want to hear any discussion of pricing.' That would be like price fixing, and it's blatantly illegal.

It was just one of those screwed-up nights that's probably going to dictate the way the Chase comes out,

The newcomers in the conference all should be strong right away. Kennesaw State won a division II title and should come in immediately and dictate the standings. UNF was a division II powerhouse and ETSU should come in and have an immediate impact as well.

Arturo, Kyle, and Tyler again put on great performances, wrestling with the style and grace set up by the years of experience they have accumulated. They never seem to get themselves into compromising positions and are learning to stay on the offensive so as to always dictate the flow of the match. I think they are beginning to peak, and perfect timing as we head into our post-season.

Anytime you go into a tournament, you want to have a winning record. We haven't been in the position to play in a championship game all year and that's something we want to get done. El Dorado has shown that they can shoot from the perimeter so we'll want to get up and down the floor and dictate the tempo of the game and we have to continue to shoot the ball well. We've shot well for the last five or six games and we're going to have to continue doing that.

Anytime you've got a player that can just come out and dictate the game like that, you've got an edge. That first touchdown took the air out of the crowd.

That's a huge sign for me, when I hit the ball out to left field. That gives me a lot of confidence. You just let the pitch dictate what you do.

I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. I didn't feel that we played hard until midway through the second half. You can't do that and expect to win. This is a 40-minute game. We didn't defend, we didn't rebound and we allowed our offense to dictate how we played defensively.

I'm more mature now. I'm making smarter decisions on the court. I'm more aware of which shot I'm supposed to hit at the right time to win the important points. I served well, especially in the second set. I got a lot of easy points. I was able to dictate against her.

I have no idea what is going to happen. What happens in the next couple of months will obviously dictate whether they want me back or not.

I'm not surprised by the intensity, I didn't have to play it up to my girls at all. They knew how important this game was. I knew if both teams played at the top of their games, it could go either way. But the conditions do dictate the game a little.

In a business where you can't dictate price you need to be very good at what you can control, and that's cost,

If there was a way that trucks could avoid having to make pick-ups and deliveries during the periods of highest traffic congestion, we would do so. The costs of congestion are enormous for the trucking industry. All our trucks have lights on them. Delivery schedules are not established by the trucking industry. Our customers ? in this case the businesses located in the downtown core ? dictate when and where our trucks pick-up and deliver goods. The problem is, and has always been, that few businesses in the core are 24/7 enterprises. They need to be convinced to take on the additional cost of having staff available to receive or load goods during off-peak times.

Circumstances affecting some of Philip Morris International's key markets, most notably Spain, dictate a cautious earnings outlook this early in the year.

He's trying to dictate the terms of his departure.

Healthy financial habits start with making smart, conscious, reasoned-out decisions instead of letting outside forces dictate how you're going to live.

Next year when you open those tax forms, you can feel good about what you earned and where it went.

For someone to dictate to us that after 48 hours, we can no longer use this footage without permission, smacks a little bit of censorship number one. And number two, it's just, basically, unfair.

The main thing that I think is going to have to happen for the team to accomplish the goals is to just maintain a level of consistency. In golf, that's the main thing.

The manner in which they go about making those decisions will dictate a tremendous amount about the manner in which the lottery is operated.

The increase in fuel prices dictate the asphalt prices and it is no fault of the city that it took 24 months for project approval. This is nice to have so we don't have to dip into the city budget. The city's portion of the project will remain at $300,000.

A lot of my guys that you really don't know about that will dictate how things play out at the end of the year were really hot today. Our fourth and fifth swims were really solid across the board, and I had some huge 200 free swims right out the gate. That's going to make life a lot easier for us having some guys fill that role.

The game will dictate whether they will pitch long if I will pinch-hit for him,
