Event Quotations | Page 2

We?re hoping next year?s event will involve even more community groups. We?re hoping this will be an annual source of pride and goodwill.

We're hoping if the dumpling-eating challenge is successful, ... it will make our event the premier dumpling-eating event in the New York area, sort of like what Coney Island is to Nathan's.

We're not ashamed of our bodies, ... This event is the most important thing in the world.

We're really excited about our grand opening celebration and our capacity to provide much needed health care services to our young people. We hope the entire community will come and share this wonderful event with us, especially young people and their parents.

We're really confident. The girls did a really good job at (the CCL meet Jan. 28) getting times down. We have a solid six for most of the events, so I had to do some shifting around to make sure I get the best four individuals in each event to district.

We're quite heavy on opening the sport up, and an event like this brings a completely new audience to golf. People like Jodie Kidd just have a different appeal, rather than the Wales Open which is more the golfing market.

With the physical trade still quiet because of the summer slowdown, the markets seem to be at the whim of the funds, so more exogenous issues such as the equities, oil, bonds and the dollar, or any other event that impacts the funds, needs to be watched closely.

With them sitting well below sea level, this is a potential set up for a catastrophic event that has never been seen before.

We knew this would be a critical event for us.

We know women influence up to 85 percent of all (auto) purchases. We decided to create an event that's a more relevant experience for women.

We know we need to come into Denver and prove that Southwest deserves to be a part of the community. We have a fantastic customer-friendly product and we?ll make the market very aware of our presence. But also, we?ll be involved in the Chamber of Commerce, local event sponsorships and other ways we can give back to the community.

We're right in the middle of a horrible event when people are turning to God. They're going to find it very hard to get people to vote for the sort of things they're in favor of.

We've got good team depth. We've have more than one guy in each event across the board.

We've tried to build something that will be attractive for everybody from 5 to 95. And folks who are serious racers will have a nice venue. I think the event and party rooms will be popular. It's a great place for office or company outings and graduation parties.

We have assembled one of the most powerful strategic tennis partnerships possible, and this will ensure that the event stays here for many years to come. We look forward to working with them to improve and enhance this already terrific tournament.

We have motor escorts in other places - maybe two (officers) to take us to a main event - but not for practices, players' dinners, and other events like we have here.

Whenever you get a traumatic event happening in society, you tend to see certain reactions to it, such as irritability, depression, confused thinking and sleep problems, ... In that context, rational decision-making becomes very difficult. People tend to begin to let their thought processes be guided by their anxieties.

We want no one underneath that area when they start to work on the outside of the building. In the event of weather that might actually tear more debris away from that building we would monitor the situation and make a determination to expand the perimeter if debris could be flying ... more than one or two blocks.

We want it to be a private event and corporate function venue, rather than a vertical drinking establishment. We are in negotiations with the police, with whom we are building bridges. They are fairly receptive and co-operative. It's really a question on agreeing on wording.

We want it to be an event rather than just a band up on stage playing. We wouldn't have it any other way. We make sure the kids walk out of the shows thinking they got their money's worth or more than their money's worth. We try to pack an arena show into a club.

We want it become an event that the community will look forward to. It could become another festival that will bring a lot of people to Orangeburg.

We want everyone to attend at least one event during those 10 days. But we also recognize people have busy schedules or they may not want to come to a public event but could get online.

We want to start the event a little earlier this year and take advantage of the warm weather.

The regret I have is that it was a community event that went commercial. But so did everything else, I guess.

The registration work will start in February, we hope the event will bring more top guns this year.

Therefore, it is no surprise when the United States is confronted with an event like Hurricane Katrina that those in the international community have responded in kind.

This will probably be the only Olympic event we see, other than hockey.

This will not be an instant book, ... This event touches upon so many important issues that it deserves thoughtful treatment from someone, like Horne, who experienced it first hand and can vividly capture each moment, but also has the ability and access to provide the critical long view.

This was a superb event and trip for our wrestlers. For many wrestlers, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We are honored to play host to the 21st running of the Jesse Owens Track Classic. This is a great event for athletes at all levels and is held in a facility named in tribute of Jesse Owens. The Classic is a great event, held in a wonderful facility, and serves as a permanent tribute to not only a tremendous athlete but a great humanitarian and sportsman.

We are honored to be working with Herbie Hancock and the unprecedented array of talented artists he has assembled to create this truly special event album. Following the success of Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company, Possibilities reflects our ongoing commitment to working with innovative artists and labels to create unique projects which we believe our customers will embrace.

What we're doing is trying to work with tournaments to facilitate a more successful Monday pro-am. As long as there's not a competition, it's for charity only with no prize money, that's an unofficial event that does not prohibit them from using carts.

What we lack is a coordinated public information system in the event of a major incident. What we need is a system that will function instantaneously and automatically every time. . . . That doesn't exist now.

What we kept hearing really validated our event concept -- the fan is at the top of our priority list. There is too much competition for their entertainment needs, so we have to give them an unforgettable experience... NOT just a concert.

There is a private side to Carnival. It started as an event that we did for ourselves and it still is. The economic side is monumental and it's good for the city. But we chose to do this for us.

The only fortunate event in the investigation is that we have the flight data recorder.

We decided to come in and run the event this year to keep it alive and buy ourselves some time to find a new title sponsor and perhaps even a new host organization,

We've been in the finals I don't know how many times before and not won it. This is the only national event we've never won as a program so this is a great tribute to our squad. This is a big deal for us.

We really have been helping each other through tough times. Obviously, it started as a result of a tragic event you never expect to read about. The idea and the relationship came out of tragic necessity.

We really feel this is an event that after it's over, if people didn't get a ticket, they'll wish they had.

We reached our goal and may have exceeded it from last year. I am super pleased on how the event turned out. I just wish the bad weather would have held off.

We're a bunch of no-name guys playing in the biggest sporting event in the world and loving it.

We're always talking about culture, so let's start at the beginning. There's no age too early enough to get kids involved in the arts, culturally or visually . . . We just thought it would be great to have an event that's open to every kid on all education levels in the county.

We heard a lot of comments from the sales reps after that event about how much the meeting meant to them. I think the day fostered a goodwill attitude, and it contributed to the focus of getting out there and succeeding despite any obstacles. A lot of the reps even became pen pals with the Special Olympics kids they spent the day with, and I think ultimately the children were the glue that bound the reps to each other.

We hope to see the event increase in size and scope,

We had not just one event but several that eventually caused 3 million claims. It caused an exceptional strain on claims-handling resources.

We didn't want to see the event end. The Holiday Bowl put a lot of love and sweat into building the Speed Festival. We offered the team all the staff knowledge and help we could give them. We'll have volunteers out there this weekend to help. We hope it works out.

We have received feedback from employees both formally through requests for time off as well as through some informal channels that there was a lot of interest in participating in whatever event might be scheduled.

We use this as a gauge for the sectional two weeks later. We want to see where we are individually, where we need to be and how to go about getting there. Originally, this was our last regular-season event of the year, but we have added a tri-meet with (Dublin Jerome) and Big Walnut on Feb. 9 so that we have one last competition before sectionals.

We use more than 1,000 volunteers just on this event. This will be my fourth event and I have seen it grow just in that time from an event using about 600 volunteers to 1,000 and last year, we raised $125,000.

We set some goals in the fall and for the first time in my coaching career, I had to ask the team to reset them because they've shattered the previous ones. We set out to improve our team stroke average and I think we did that by five strokes and we've been in the top five in nearly every event we've competed in with a shot to win each of them.

The people of Spokane, like they always do, again stepped forward to support a very worthy cause. This event continues to grow and everyone involved is grateful for the support from the Spokane community. We have a great committee that takes a lot of pride in this event.

The people of Hollywood had nothing to do with that Hollywood sign event on New Year's Eve, ... The city of L.A. decided they were going to run it. They took our trademark and they had their shot at it -- and they flunked,

We have intentionally selected Cancun for this event to show our support of the rebuilding of its hospitality infrastructure following the debilitating hurricanes of 2005.

We have held this event at the Ramada Inn the past several years. This year we have at least 30 vendors participating.

We're looking really strong collectively. Our practices here have been solid and preparation for this event has been very encouraging. We are looking to take home yet another title.

We're looking not just at a coastal event, but a second (or) third event that will occur over the next few days. So it will be an enormous effort on our part.

We're grateful for Catamount's support. The event is a wonderful opportunity for skiers and snowboarders nationwide to celebrate ours sports during the Olympics. These events help U.S. Ski Team athletes now and in the future.

This program has become a true community event and a great example of teamwork both on the ice and among our partners in education.

This program allows lenders to build a risk preparedness model to respond to future disasters. In addition, the graphical representation allows managers to quickly assess and communicate the risk to their business in the event of a disaster.

There are very few nights that go by when I'm watching a sporting event and I don't see the O'Reilly name.

There are two stories to the origin. The first one involves a bunch of guys who got together for a horse race in England during the 1800s. The weather was bad and they did not want to risk hurting their expensive horses, so they ran the race themselves. The second was a (horse) race where there was so much fog no one could see. They ran from church steeple to church steeple in each town. Supposedly that's how it got its name. Either way, the event came from people running from town-to-town and jumping over fences, creeks and whatever else was in the way.

We've taken great pride from the fact that there is no more appropriate site in America worthy of commemorating the most significant event of the 20th century than the Rainbow Pool,

We very much welcome on our side this proposal, ... This was a positive event and a welcome event in a season when there aren't many.

Whenever you're hanging ice even if it's not over someone's head, which we avoid for obvious reasons it's very heavy and, of course, it melts. You don't want it to drop in the middle of the event because it feels disastrous even though nothing disastrous actually happens.

We had Cathy over from Oahu to read in 2004, and not only was the event well attended but her reading was riveting. After sharing her excellent poetry, she engaged in a very interesting talk-story session with the audience, and then signed books and met audience members one-on-one. It was such a successful event that we knew we wanted to have her back again.

We had best performances in every event but one.

We won't have to do a lot of work. Our course is always tournament ready. We could hold the event tomorrow.

When you ask somebody if they'd rather have an event live or on tape, they're answer is, of course they'd rather have it live, ... When you explain to them that to have it live on the West Coast, it may be on at 5 o'clock, which means that they won't be available to view it, they'll go, 'Oh, well then I'd rather have it on tape.'

When we started putting it on the streets, we realized what a large event we had.

When we set this event up, ... I had absolutely no idea that we were going to have the elected president of the United States here with us today.

We've never had an event of this magnitude happen before. We're taking a look at development and testing procedures around virus signatures to prevent it from happening again.

There are other avenues to source bauxite, from other areas of the world, in the event the strike may go on.

There are many different pieces of this giant puzzle that need to come together. The pieces that must come together include installation of ticket terminals, training retailers, testing software applications and so much more. There are many people working very hard behind the scenes in such areas as administration, finance, sales and computers to help raise money for education and make this historical event happen. In addition, numerous state agencies are providing assistance to us, as necessary.

We're going down to their building and it's probably the biggest event since the hurricane that's going on around there. It's going to be nutty, absolutely nutty.

We're excited that Jiminy Peak will be participating in this great event. It is well known that this area has an abundance of talented skiers and snowboarders and we're thrilled that this event will allow them to showcase their skills while benefiting a tremendous cause.

We're confident he'll be fine, but what we would miss is leadership, that's it. We'll make up for that in the event he can't go next week.

We're comparing the event to other data of cloud cover, temperature and other factors near Antarctica at that time. It's still too early to tell, but there's a lot of curiosity about events like this and not a lot of data. We've been comparing notes and pooling data to learn more.

We're just focusing on trying to make our event a success.

Mandatory reporting simply means more scrutiny in all of the practices around reducing infection. Sterilization is considered a sentinel event around surgical site infections. So for a facility to be able to document and prove that they did all of those things the right way via an electronic record keeping system is a tremendous value for a facility.

Like I said before, it's a really strong event for us, especially in relationship to depth.

Life insurance was created to be an instant estate in the event of the premature death of the breadwinner.

Make sure that in the event that you do chose to drive-off without paying for gas, you are in violation of Florida law and the state takes that very seriously.

Maggie's are very excited about this event and delighted to know so many people are taking part to raise money to help build the first Maggie's Centre in London. We know those entered in this event have set themselves a hard challenge but their efforts will result in Maggie's being able to offer all those going through the challenge of a diagnosis of cancer.

Lend America is extremely pleased to be a sponsor of the most rewarding, tradition-rich drag race venue in the world, NHRA. As a businessman, I look at NHRA and its demographic and know Lend America can provide a valuable home loan service to fit the needs of the audience. I think it's a win-win all the way around. Being a racer myself, I look forward to continuing our high-profile association with NHRA and the increased brand awareness through the maximum exposure that each national event provides.

Let the guy do his thing. It's a unique event that should be encouraged even if you don't buy into the whole program. The guy's been doing it for 30 years around the world, and every place has survived.

Louise Brown's birth marked the end of the beginning of human IVF, acclaimed at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. This event was snubbed by some clinicians now styled as 'pioneers', who shouted that the test-tube claim was a fake! They did not matter.

Last year when we were there we found it hard to get any points. We scored in almost every event this year.

Let's fight together so this event won't be held every four years but rather every two, so the baseball world won't have to wait so long to enjoy this.

Many of these journalists are putting themselves in harm's way, which makes this event unique among the awards ceremonies.

Many of the employers mentioned that the job seekers seemed more prepared for the event and more qualified for management positions.

Many top athletes are competing in the March 2 World Cross- Country Championship. Once they've completed that event they'll plan their racing schedules for the year.

Several players who were present acknowledge, however, that they did hire private party dancers and that underage drinking occurred. The judgment of the team members to host and participate in this event is inconsistent with the values of Duke Athletics and Duke University and is unacceptable.

Several people have told me this is the biggest on-campus sporting event in the history of the Capital District. It's the biggest game, obviously, that we've ever played in the history of the men's basketball program here.

Secondhand smoke is even worse than we thought. It increases the risk for an acute coronary event like a heart attack or long-term development of atherosclerosis.

Sept. 11 was the most photographed event in the world. The media has shown it over and over again. Over time, artists have digested it. I think it's very important to see filmmakers' point of view. Why not now?

Sept. 11 proved that there needs to be a mechanism in place to allow the economy to rebound more quickly and to protect American jobs in the unfortunate event of another terrorist attack.

So for both teams we have a lot better balance than we have had in the past. We have more areas covered and so hopefully compete in every event. Not only have someone in the event but have some decent quality.

So, good advice is, if you're thinking about booking, use a credit card. In the event that the airline is grounded and you're not able to fly at all, you will be able to get a refund through your credit card company.

She was 35 years old, which is how old I am this year. So, this year's event takes on a special meaning for me.
