Scenarios Quotations

In the 360-degree battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, women have served honorably and fought valiantly. Yet there is a key difference between being in harm's way and reacting to enemy contact, and being in a direct combat operations role day in and day out. They are different scenarios that require different standards.

I think it is not necessary at this time to put forth a grand vision such as an East Asian Community. What we must do before that is create scenarios for Japan's response in case of a serious territorial incident.

I have been doing technology foresight for a number of years now on the level of scenario design, primarily. I want to become more rigorous with research methodology and statistical methods. I want to shift from creating clever SF scenarios to being a professional forecaster able to make rigorous predictions.

The strange thing is, no matter what, when you become some kind of public figure, you have your go-to answers for all scenarios and instances.

I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

In the best possible scenario, whenever you get notes from people, they're good notes, and they see things that you wouldn't have seen otherwise, and they make you a better writer.

I did spend a lot of my childhood playing out movie scenarios in my head. I'd walk along the road, pretending like I was in the army, talking on the radio, and doing maneuvers. I dreamt a lot about performing in movies and living in fantasies.

Individuals should think about the worst-case scenarios and plan for them. The world will be crazier than you think it will be. Put money away, and then you can live with much more freedom.

We have some worse scenarios for which we need to prepare as companies. For the moment, we're planning for the worst, and the worst is now, and the car market is down more than 15 percent in France. There is so much uncertainty.

Having a super-brain does not suddenly make you a dictator of the world. So we don't have to fear the scenarios of science fiction where the Lex Luthors of the world take over. People with exceptional ability, they don't become politicians; they don't become multi-millionaires; some of them just become professors like me, making a measly income.

One of the more likely exit scenarios here is a sale. We're not necessarily committed to sell the business, but we want to explore that.

Occasionally, chewing over some random letter writer's dilemma, I'll find myself imagining scenarios where the problem could be sidestepped by an innocent fib or series of evasive manoeuvres. Then, I slap myself on the wrist.

None of the worst scenarios people have painted here can take place nor are they taking place.

I got into acting for the different scenarios and roles and meeting different people.

She and I agreed (Sunday) night to not let our minds just race with all the scenarios that may or may not unfold. Once we have the information, she'll decide on what needs to happen.

Many scenarios had been run prior to Katrina years ago, and with that type of storm, the scenarios should have been taken seriously.

There are so many different scenarios that could play out that we can't be thinking about that. We have to focus on Friday and then on Saturday.

There are a lot of students that are going to college uninsured. And for those that are insured, there is not a lot of knowledge about what scenarios can effect that coverage.

I am satisfied that every one of the worst-case scenarios was wrong. Total NATO deaths from hostile action in Bosnia since Dayton have been zero.

He wanted me to keep shooting and not refuse to shoot because I was missing. Like Eddie told me once, he's been in all the different scenarios -- been the main guy, the No. 2 option, and the third option. He knows how it feels.

I am getting other calls. There are a number of scenarios we would entertain.

I always think I can compete and I have at the major-league level. Whether I had the opportunities or not I always felt I could. There's always scenarios that take place that prevent you from doing that, and I'm not saying I always took advantage of the chances.

If the truth is not reported, rumors and confusion grow and more problems then occur. People start imagining certain scenarios that are not true and those scenarios may be much more harmful than any concern over copycats or the crying wolf that leads to ambivalence.

Statistics received indicate that in just 30 days we lost some 1162 people on our roads. This means the country has been losing 39 people every day to car accidents. Even viewed against war scenarios such as the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the casualties on our roads come out worse.

Our mission has always been to help investors create win-win scenarios that benefit both the troubled homeowner and the investor. The owner in distress saves some equity for a new start, and the investor realizes a profit on the resale of the home. That's far better than having the owner lose everything in an auction on the courthouse steps.

I think there are different scenarios that if you have to deal with them as a team, they help force your mindset to cope with circumstances,

Maybe in the past when we said 'everywhere' we didn't really mean everywhere. Now we really mean it. We want to support the widest breadth of scenarios from the browser to the desktop.

Over the last year, the foundation has had many discussions about what to do with that Cedarville land. Those discussions led to a focus on all town-owned land and what the highest and best use for each is. Looking in the best interests of the town, we decided Plymouth should come up with some scenarios and conduct a comprehensive review of all the properties that it owns.

Three major buyers of oil will emerge in the future. China, India and the United States. This will create interesting geopolitical scenarios we haven't begun to address.

We were shown all the scenarios after the game and we were kind of in awe. A lot of guys thought it was runs scored, so we thought maybe we'd have to go out and try and beat South Africa by a lot of runs. But it's runs allowed, and the South Africa score does not count. That's strange, too.

We'll go back to the drawing board. We had different scenarios drawn up before we got Steven, so we'll go to plan B.

We don't have much of a history that would tell us what the ECB is going to do, ... All sorts of scenarios are possible.

We don't have much of a history that would tell us what the ECB is going to do. All sorts of scenarios are possible.

With the V CAST Music service we wanted to provide our customers with an unprecedented digital music experience that allowed the widest range of options for accessing and enjoying music. Microsoft and its Windows Media Technologies played a crucial role in enabling this end-to-end mobile music vision. The over-the-air delivery capabilities of the Windows Media DRM platform and broad support across multiple devices and scenarios allow us to provide a truly unique and compelling consumer offering.

We have worked on all defensive and offensive scenarios for any possible attacks.

We aren't here to throw any vendor under the bus or to sing their praises. We're not pointing fingers at anyone saying they didn't interpret the spec right. Nor do we try to push services down their necks. We are impartial and that has resonated well. We are able to speak through some of the positive and negative scenarios we have seen, which leads people to ask questions about solving the problems.

We haven't confirmed any of the parties that have approached us and we do not intend to do that now either. All we have said to the market is that we have had some approaches, they have offered a range of scenarios and given the level of interest we think it prudent to run a process to flush out all levels of interest involved with us and take it from there.

We haven't made our mind up yet on a lot of players. We're starting to see some combinations on how our top three lines will look going into the regular season. But there are still a lot of different scenarios that could play out with the fourth line and who the 13th forward will be.

We pursued all the trade scenarios we could (to try to move Murray). With that in mind, the timing of this is out of respect for Lamond and his family. This hopefully gives him a reasonable opportunity to catch on with another team.

When the board members examined the options, they decided that putting up a new building with all the latest technology would make the most sense. In the remodeling scenarios presented to the board, the district would spend a lot of money and still have old buildings that were just retrofitted. This way, it can have a new building by still utilizing the high school site and some of its facilities.

We've looked at all of the possible playoff scenarios and we're right there. If Carthage wins out, we could win one of our last two and be tied for third. The one we have to win would be against White Oak. If we win both of our games and Carthage wins, we'll be third.

We've got scenarios in which parents were making actual gut-wrenching decisions to hand their child up to the front of a line of transport to get them safe. Parents performed heroic acts to try and keep their children safe, sometimes to the detriment of their own safety.

There are easily storm scenarios in New York that run to tens of billions of dollars. And structures on Long Island aren't as well built as new construction in Florida.

We develop scenarios based on things that are fairly current in the real world, but the schedule is set way in advance.

We have identified approximately six scenarios or areas that our investigators are going to be looking at even more closely in simulations and tests that will be conducted in the near future,

When a sales representative takes it to the client, they can present the illustration and all information is saved. After they close the sale they can submit the case back along with the scenarios they used back at the office.

When I was a kid, I used to pretend to be Bond; I used to make up scenarios and irritate my sister and annoy my mother and father pretending to be someone else, so I kind of was already acting when I was a child. I just didn't really know it.

Xamlon Web allows developers to be immediately productive in new deployment scenarios with virtually no learning curve, ... Now developers can use the programming languages they already know to create seamless business applications that deploy via the Web on practically any device or computer in the world.

With afternoon thunderstorms and daytime heat, stalled out cold fronts, and the Gulf starting to open up, all scenarios offer us a better chance of rain than was the case for last two months. June is the beginning of tropical storm and hurricane season.

We should keep in mind that it is easy to concoct stories explaining the past or to become confident about dubious scenarios of the future. We should view both explanations and prophecies with skepticism.

We used a staged approach to this transmission development to ensure that we are prudently and effectively taking care of the immediate, medium and long-term needs of the region. There is always some level of uncertainty with respect to when and where new generation and load might locate, and so our plans must be flexible enough to ensure that we can accommodate anticipated future scenarios reliably.

We also train our investor clients to develop win-win scenarios that benefit both the homeowner in distress and the investor. That way the troubled homeowner can sell their way out of foreclosure and conserve some equity for a new start, and the investor can realize a reasonable profit on resale of the home. That's much better than seeing the owner lose everything in an auction on the courthouse steps.

War has always been a part of science fiction. Even before the birth of SF as a standalone genre in 1926, speculative novels such as 'The Battle of Dorking' from 1871 showed how SF's trademark 'what if' scenarios could easily encompass warfare.

What I want is a comprehensive school that takes care of as much of a community as I can. I would prefer that to be between 1,400 and 1,600 (students). I would agree not to go below that if your goal is to have a fully comprehensive high school. So I'm just interested to see what different scenarios we will see.

Attempting to reunify her with Aida is the worst thing that could possibly happen. I can think of a million scenarios better than that. I have lost faith that she will ever improve her parenting skills.

Is there nothing the prodigiously talented Ann Patchett can't do? She's channeled the world of opera, Boston politics, magic, unwed motherhood, and race relations, creating scenarios so indelible, you swear they are right outside your door.

The significant result of these future scenarios is the progressive raising of mean global temperatures and the movement of climate zones in connection with that. Almost everywhere on earth, the forestry industry will have to husband different types of trees than it has until now.

These scenarios give us a powerful way of exploring different options and their logical consequences and making appropriate choices to improve ecosystem services.

There are scenarios where it would be a beneficial and acceptable tool, but there are also cases where it could be a usurping of power. This is a fine line the executive body is going to have to walk.

There are a few scenarios where it could make sense. If you have the right rewards card, or if you use your rewards well, you may get a value that's worth considerably more than the cost.

The scenarios are basically the same. Andersen as we know it is dead whether there is an acquittal or they are found guilty.

The scenarios in which you will use item tags are very different from the scenarios for case and pallet tags. The tags will originate farther back in manufacturing and go farther forward in retail operations. We are going to look at the business requirements and use the same disciplined approach we used when we created the Gen 2 standard.

The right wing would love nothing more than for us to spend all of our airtime discussing distractions such as polygamy, bestiality and other from their point of view doomsday scenarios rather than engage the public about committed same-sex couples being discriminated against.

We teach our investor clients the fundamentals of successful foreclosure property investing, and show them how to create ethical win-win scenarios that benefit both the troubled homeowner and the investor. Our method enables the homeowner to conserve some equity for a new start, while assuring the investor of a reasonable profit on resale of the home. That's a much better solution than seeing the owner lose everything at auction.

We teach our investor clients to develop win-win scenarios that will benefit both the distressed homeowner and the investor. The troubled homeowner conserves some equity for a new start, and the investor realizes a reasonable profit. That's much better than seeing the owners lose everything, including their credit, in an auction on the courthouse steps.

We're taking it month-by-month. He's considerably away from being cleared by doctors. A lot depends on the roster situation and where we are as a team. There are certain scenarios where if our roster dictates it and he's ready to go, it's a possibility.

We all think of the movie scenarios - the kinds of things that we would expect to see in a movie plot. Terrorists sneaking a bomb into the Super Bowl, for example. The problem is, terrorists don't care. They don't care whether it's a football game or an airport or a restaurant or a movie theater. It doesn't matter to them.

We went through the Alabama Rural Water Association to help us calculate our rates, ... We looked at about eight scenarios to see what effect they would have. We want it to have a minimum effect on our fixed income folks. Most stay under 2,000-gallon usage, so their sewer rates will stay the same. We did take that into consideration.

Actually, there's not as much outsourcing as many companies would realistically hope. A lot of nightmarish scenarios have emerged from outsourcing, with some companies opting to move their call centers back in-house, due to customer complaints.

People don't want to face this reality. Once you accept it as a possibility -- not even as a certainty, but just as one of many possible scenarios -- then you have to make all sorts of changes (in the way you live), because it would not make sense not to.

The thing they did by picking on five rather than four is they singled me out. I'm the only guy with five viable teams and the worst of all scenarios (for NASCAR) is we put all five of them in the Chase,

While in the Florida legislature, I strongly opposed the Stand Your Ground law because I believed it would provide defenses to people who had created the scenarios they sought protection from.

Some scenarios work better using access other than cellular.

A lot of Windows Desktop Search capabilities will be built into the visualization and organization scenarios inside Windows Vista.

They're taking the position the sky would be falling ... I think that's advocacy. All these different scenarios and examples have not occurred; the business of the court continues to be pretty much the way it was. I respect Charlie, (but) he's an advocate and I think there's a bit of a stretch concerning the effect of the order.

There are always best and worst case scenarios and we don't know at the moment just when he will be back.

We average 15-20 more plays than the NFL. We have to examine scenarios that make it better for the players and reducing the number of plays is one of them.

The Weapons Systems Trainer is part of a total training program that graduates mission-qualified C-130 aircrews. Aircrews are immersed in a variety of scenarios that allow them to hone their skills. They can prepare for a variety of missions without actually flying the aircraft.

I'm sure whichever one they use, their game plan will be structured to what he does best. We've talked about the different scenarios we know of .... we're just going to have to hit it on the fly.

I know that Marcia desperately wants me to come back. We were devising all kinds of scenarios together, like Bree breaks her leg and I would look after her and that would drive her insane.

I made Zack as a composite of different people that I know and different scenarios and different dilemmas that people face. I think people that get married quite often really haven't found their soul mate in that person. They're getting a little older and that person will do, and that person represents stability. Being alone can be quite scary sometimes.

Instead of inventing imaginary friends, I invented whole imaginary worlds. They were elaborate scenarios about spies and adventurers and top secret missions. I crawled along my swing set, searching for escape routes from my maximum-security prison; I biked through the neighborhood, the wind in my hair and a fleet of evildoers on my heels.

I'm really fascinated by someone who chooses worst-case scenarios as a profession. Someone who obviously thrives on crisis,

It's pretty much a must-win situation for us. There is still some scenarios that can take place, so we just try to play them. As the old saying goes, it's one game at a time because you really do.

It's right back where they were before. They don't have the revenue to support what they want to build. None of these scenarios gets them there.

It's important to have a new freshness. To have scenarios that no one is anticipating and no one can control.

I really didn't imagine this scenario. But usually those are the scenarios that come to be.

I tend to look on the bright side. It could be worse. It was definitely frustrating for me last year. I could have drawn up different scenarios for my first year in New York.

Generally speaking, unless we've had a crisis we don't spend a lot of effort on emergency preparedness. Once we have a problem we ban plastic knives on airplanes, but we tend not to think of the worst-case scenarios because they're too difficult to deal with.

There's various scenarios and interpretations about that urgency. I think first we have to get the facts. There are too many interpretations of the facts, and those scenarios could change based on the variables incorporated in those projections,

They looked at a number of scenarios for operating the plant, and they could not come up with anything that would meet the air-quality requirement. We don't know how long that will take.

They learn social skills and deal with language impediments. A lot of these are cognitively impaired students who have real-life scenarios they're being confronted with here.

It takes one of the positive scenarios away from RIM, taking the judge's comments at face value, which I think we should.

As far as actually writing scripts or stories... now scenarios, most people have ideas for scenarios that could be the basis for a film.

All they do is monitor water issues. They're not interested in all of the other scenarios out there.

The doom and gloom scenarios about no growth in PCs this year have given way to expectations of 10 percent growth rates,
