We can add these to the two previous examples, both from the "Star Trek: The Experience" (STX) communique:

laS veghaS HIltonDaq «Hov leng: yIjeSchu'» qaSchoHmo',
  bIlopqu'meH HIlton yIghoS 
Come celebrate the grand opening of "Star Trek: The
  Experience" at the Las Vegas Hilton. STX

tera' vatlh DIS poH cha'maH loS bIyIn jeSlaHpa' Hoch 
Be the first to journey to the 24th century. STX

BTW, nice examples of the difference between {qaS X} and {qaStaHvIS X}.
