Beam Quotations

A beam of light takes about two million years to reach from us to the Andromeda nebula. But my thought covers this distance in a few seconds. Perhaps some day some intermediate form of body and mind may permit us to say that we actually can travel faster than light.

I'd say I'm quite powerful so I'm not afraid of jumps or acrobatic elements. The hardest part is... get on the beam and stay there on top of it!

Happiness is being on the beam with life - to feel the pull of life

Remember when you were in school and the teacher would put a picture under an overhead projector so you could see it on the wall? God, I loved that. Tellya the truth, I used to look at that beam of light and think it was God.

The closer the source of light is to a subject, the broader the beams are.

One SF prediction that I would like very much to see: Get solar collectors launched to beam energy back home, and get away from fossil fuels.

Leah's one of the most consistent beam workers we've ever had. That will make her mad enough to come out and really want to hit it next week.

She (Hager) will not compete on the floor at the conference meet. That has pretty much been decided already. Whether we add beam or vault depends on how she is feeling this week.

She could do things on beam that I had no name for. As a third-year coach, I had visions of grandeur, thoughts of state championships dancing before me. I couldn't wait to work with someone at that level.

Since both the external beam and the seed radiation yield similar results -- and occasionally they are used together -- for most men the choice boils down to convenience: Do you want an invasive treatment that is done in about an hour, or a noninvasive treatment that takes seven weeks.

I felt like we had a slow start on our first two events tonight. The scores were tight and vault was still our weak event. I was happy with how we performed on floor and beam. We scored a season high on beam and it was nice to finish the meet strong. If we would have had more momentum earlier I feel we would have had a better chance to beat Minnesota.

I do not separate Christ from God more than a voice from the speaker or a beam from the sun. Christ is the voice of the speaker. He and the Father are the same thing, as the beam and the light, are the same light.

Having Karen in the gym has been such a huge plus for us because she is so good at the choreography and dance and the look of the routines on beam and floor. She is a also a Level 10 judge, so she is able to tell the girls what the judges look for and where certain deductions come.

I am going to focus like a laser beam on this economy.

The purpose of these broadcasts is not to beam anti-government propaganda into Iran. Rather, this new service would provide more detailed, factual reporting on political, social and foreign policy issues affecting Iran.

Really it has to do with the angle. In winter, the sun is low on the horizon and the sun's beam is at a lower angle. It has to go through more of the atmosphere. Even in the middle of summer at sunrise it doesn't feel as hot on your skin as at the middle of the day.

Last week we missed seven of the last twelve routines of the day between beam and floor. I know that the people who missed want another shot.

Julie finished similar to how she did last year at the championships, where she was bumped from the finals at the end. She's just been solid for us on beam all season long and I thought her vault was the best vault she's ever done.

Whoever hits their routines will take it. I still say the beam will determine it.

We really started off (strong). Beam was great for (the JV), too.

Consider: The human genome consists of about 3.3 billion base pairs. Since there are only four types of pair, that amounts to 0.8 gigabytes of information, or about what you can fit on a CD. With a microwave radio transmitter, you could beam that amount of information into space in a few minutes, and have it travel to anyone at light speed.

The simplistic concept (of lasers) probably derived from that old James Bond movie of a laser driving down at Sean Connery. It was a big-old device with a circular beam coming down. Conceptually, that's kind of correct, but all lasers today with those big beams come from gas or material lasers,

The team as a whole had a solid performance. We just had a few bobbles, but we had fairly consistent routines on the balance beam and the uneven bars.

When you get the radar beam close to the ground, you just see snow, you don't see individual targets. All of the radar was basically designed to look at aircraft in the air. They never really thought that much about ground tracking.

Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

We had a really strong day on floor and vault. Those continue to be our strongest events. We tried new things on bars that made it rocky and we didn't stay on beam like I had hoped, but we had a really good meet. We had our second-highest (overall team) score of the season.

We wanna focus like a laser beam on these next six (games). We want to take care of our home games and find a way (to win) on the road and keep going after that state tournament berth. That?s what we set out to do.

We are very pleased with tonight's performance. Although vault and bars weren't the best we've done this season, I was very happy with the way they rebounded on beam and floor.

We had a couple of falls on beam but both were on new skills that we've added to routines. We're disappointed with that but it is understandable. I think we can get by that and be better in the future.

We didn't get everything we wanted to out of our qualifying run. The Klein Tools/Jim Beam car definitely had a little bit too much understeer and that cost us. It's so competitive out here that you've got to gamble a little bit, but we have a relatively good race car, so hopefully we'll get a good result.

We just have to take it one day at a time. Maybe we will put in the beam for the sectional. We pretty much have ruled out the floor.

I love everything about her. She's like a little beam of light.

I hope the beam with the hands shows the resiliency of the United States, ... People got past this incident and any other that will come.

(The beam) is the make or break event. If you don't stay on, nobody's going anywhere. We've really been focusing on whatever it takes to stay on the beam. They were really big beam scores. We have to be realistic when we go to sectionals; I don't know if we'll see those scores again.

On beam, we need to stay on the equipment. You can't count a fall on beam and expect to be a good team.

The entire Klein Tools/Jim Beam team is really disappointed. It's such a shame because everyone has worked very, very hard to make this a great car and Dario was driving a fantastic race. I'm sure we would have had great pit stops like we did in Homestead and would have had a terrific result today.

The first three events, we put the pressure on them and made them beat us. To count a fall on the beam was tough. It's one of our better events. But, Georgia had won it by then. Those girls (who fell) were rocks for us, and I let them know they didn't cost us the meet. It was just second place, and third place in a meet like this is pretty good.

I tried a little too hard on my beam mount. It was a little nerve-racking falling so early in the routine, but I had to come back and hit (it). That fall was just a fluke.

If Emily has a chance to go to state, it would be on beam or floor. There's obviously some tough competition, but that's where she has the best chance. She hasn't gained all her strength back yet, so I don't think she can do it on bars.
