biggest challenge extra few games good hard indoors outdoor pitching practices work
Right now, our biggest challenge is getting a few games and some good outdoor practices in. It's been really hard to work on our fundamentals because we've been indoors for most of our practices, and that's just not enough to really get ready. We're also a pretty young team, especially in our pitching staff, so we just really need those extra games that we've lost.

When I first started the Project, I could not have expected so much to be accomplished in such a short time. None of my concerns about giving money to an academic institution came true. They've done high quality work with real-world relevance.
art bronze build figuring image marble material paint rather similarly trying ways work
We were all figuring out ways to build an image rather than paint it. Sculptors didn't want to work in bronze or marble or wax. They wanted to find a material that didn't have any art use. We were similarly trying to find ways of working that were not about paint-it-in, paint-it-out, scrape-it-off -- some way of working all over at once.

continue discipline good kids patience patient pitch problem scoring showing starting swings work year
We're starting to get some really good swings up there, but we're also showing a lot of patience at the plate. Now that we're getting some real work in, things are starting to look up. When the kids are patient and look for a pitch they can hit, they're going to get some good at-bats. I don't think scoring should be a problem for us this year if we continue to show good discipline at the plate.

We're talking to another property owner on one end, and to Weyerhaeuser on the other end about possibly adding a piece that belongs to them. If we can get those properties in escrow, and the numbers work out, we're probably going to pursue developing that into an 18-hole golf course.
aspects begin critics identify others people share tend work
When critics begin to identify something that they see as a tendency, they tend to write about what people have in common. And what they share may not be the most important aspects of the work. In fact, it's what makes each artist's work different from the others which is interesting.
