Our first half performances set the tone in both games. We played a great first half against Hamden, but we struggled against East Haven.

Jake Palluzzi

It has set the tone for what looks like a very good year ahead.

Tobias Crabtree

That set the tone for us, ... We played consistent tonight.

Larry Peterson

I thought we played very hard the entire weekend regardless of what the score was. I would just like to see us in a situation where you win the first two games to have a little bit more of a killer instinct. Hopefully, the next time we're in this situation we can go out and set the tone and put us in a situation to win the series.

Dan Hartleb

The tone is set at home. If parents know their kids are skipping classes, they are our biggest ally to get them back into class.

John Gates

This is setting the tone for the rest of year. Investors are poised for bumpy ride for the rest of the year.

Dhaheer Quraish

It was 15-8 after the first quarter, but we were able to get out quickly and get some quick transition buckets in the second half to set the tone.

Lori Shepard

I think that?s a factor driving that far and trying to get your legs under you. If we can set the tone right away before they get their legs under them that can help us.

Pete Egan

You have really good communication skills. Not only are you willing to make that face-to-face contact, you also have a nice tone.

Jennifer Wright

We had a big first inning and that kind of set the tone. Our young kids just played good, scored and scored early. (Sophomore right-hander) Jacob Davis did a good job of throwing strikes.

Will Flowers

Defensively, I think we've got to get off to a better start than what we have. I think we've got to go out there and set the tone early in the game.

Keith Newman

I'm skeptical that the tone of the conference call ... was anything other than an act of necessity on the company's part to keep investors around.

Michael Schroeder

We really wanted to set a tone early. We wanted to establish an interior presence, as well as take charge on the defensive end, and we wanted to do it early.

Bruce Hensley

The tone is positive, and I think that will continue for the next few days.

Peter Brodie

Steve comes out of left field, he's one of a kind, ... Rob (guitar) contributed greatly to a black metal tone of the song with his guitar parts over the blast beat sections, and Matt with his picking style. Each guy had their own staple on how their parts of the song should go, all of which helped with the overall feel of the song.

Joey Jordison

We would be surprised if the company could say anything to get the stock above $45, as most of the world is playing the stock on the long side and recent investor conferences have already incorporated a more bullish tone by the company.

Credit Suisse First Boston

We made some mistakes early and they jumped on us. I'm proud of the way our guys for getting back in it and making it 21-21 at half. Our guys played hard. Shelby just came out at the first of the second half and set the tone.

Dave Farquharson

Everybody is excited, we are very excited. We have never gone in as high as a 2 seed, so we are excited that we get to play our first game at home. Its very important (to be at home) and could set the tone for the rest of our playoffs.

Sherry Sealey

Playoffs are right around the corner, and this series will set the tone for the first series. We've had a pretty good rivalry with them. It seems we play them in the first round here, and these games will just add to that.

Kevin Saurette

When you lose on the road, it sets a tone and everybody feels down. Now that we got the win, we can loosen up and just relax and play our game.

Matt Lojeski

Brought the tone, and he brought it hard and fast. He picked up and carried Sunset, which was really a small film, and made this popcorn piece. It was kind of wobbly for a while. God, there were times I was cursing him out, cursing the writers out. I don't like it when it gets shaky like that.

Pierce Brosnan

She set the tone. She stepped up her game in all facets and let the girls know by her work ethic that we weren't going to give in and be comfortable with a drop off. She had a great, great season.

Bryan Gardere

Even one new member can change the entire tone and decision-making of the board ... when someone inside the room brings up a different point of view.

Paul Lapides

That goal was important. It set a nice tone for the game. But we knew the game was far from over.

Laura Rountree

The judge goes to the cage and will stretch the cat out, look at their head and test their muscle tone.

Donna Hinton

In our first two meets this year, they've really set the tone for the entire team. They have a lot to do with why we've gotten off to a good start.

Mike Zimmerman

Anthony's a carefree, free-spirited guy, and if you know anything about the academy, they don't cater to free spirits. So he had to tone down some of his free-spiritedness and walk the straight and narrow as best as he could.

Jappy Oliver

The overall tone (of the consumer report) raises all these unwarranted fears and anxieties about pesticides. Raising fears poses a much greater risk of harming health than do residues on foods measured by government surveys.

Brian Sansoni

When you start out the game by returning the kick for a touchdown, that kind of sets the tone for you.

Steve Struzyk

A hawkish tone is already priced into the markets, both in the yield curve and on the currency. It was the big event risk of the week and he did live up to market expectations.

Jack Spitz

We printed all the individual images in sepia tone, but we break out one player in each shot in color.

Mark Gray

I thought the tone was set at 1:19 when Knight drove the ball and they called a foul on Abe. The clock stopped, and they're scoring points. That's the worst thing.

Pat Flannery

We wanted to come in and run the football and establish the run and build off that, and we did that early, and I think that set the tone. We're pretty happy offensively. We knew we would be pretty good. We just had to get caught up, get reps for another week, and we thought we'd be OK.

Dan Pifer

I thought our defensive effort was great. At halftime we had only given up four field goals, and those came from outside. We set the tone defensively that we were not going to let them get to the basket.

Lexa Larsen

The tone that they would take in e-mail was pretty astounding.

Michael Kessler

It's early in the season. We aren't thinking that we are a good team yet, but rather a solid one. It is more important right now that we set the tone that we will be tough to beat at home.

Don Maestri

It was a very political conversation. He can influence actions, he can set a tone, but he won't. Just the mere fact that he won't meet with us in a public setting shows that.

Ramon Alexander

I thought we did a great job offensively to start out the game and set a tone early. I thought we did that and came up with some big hits. Cassidy threw a great game today, got into a little bit of a lull in the middle but came out and closed it out in the sixth to eight-run rule it. I was really proud of the kids today.

Kerri Blaylock

Watching (the film) with them is really this incredible experience. They are so familiar with the characters and the tone, you could hear a pin drop at some points in the movie.

Sean Maher

These first two years will be an intense time of solicitation of early stage 'leadership gifts' that will set the tone for the public period.

Johnnie Ray

We set the tone with our energy.

Nick Licari

[Writing an e-mail message, for all its supposed informality, can also quietly ratchet up stress as people strive for the correct tone, grammar and pitch-perfect brevity. People] don't take the time to think things through, ... A lot of mistakes are made.

Julie Morgenstern

Jena has great qualities for a defender. She is fast, tough and good in the air. I also love the way she communicates in the back. She has a forceful, but positive tone that helps organize the defense. Jena has been to our soccer camp in the summer and we have seen tremendous improvement in her game over the years. She is a great find and her best soccer is ahead of her.

Rich Manning

Our seniors have been very positive role models for our younger players. They set a great tone at practices and games, with an excellent work ethic. They've shown our younger players what it takes to succeed at this level.

Jeff Bryant

I thought we played excellent defense in the first half and that really set the tone. We shot the ball extremely well and did a good job on the boards. I was proud of our guys for giving a strong effort for four quarters.

Mike Pardon

The tone is wrong. The tone is bad.

Clay Johnson Iii

There will be a different tone. The form will change but not the content.

Claus Leggewie

[The Vikings] didn't see a need for that, ... The discipline and tone of the team has to come from the top. We did a good job with that.

Gary Woods

Those guys set the tone, and it trickles down to the rest of us. The cohesiveness we have, that's the difference-maker. In all the years we've done well, that's been the difference.

Verron Haynes

It was just a rough start (and) it kind of set the tone for the whole game.

Kraig Blomme

I was told in a hushed tone that the government doesn't want me to see this place because old people are dying.

Tony Hall

It makes it even worse. It is really a tone-deaf response to the crisis. It is a real grab to get an ideological position across that they haven't been able to achieve under normal circumstances.

Paul Houston

I thought it was really critical to come out and set the tone with the bats. In games like this it comes down to key plays, key hits, key mistakes and we were fortunate to capitalize in a situation like this.

Kathy Leitke

I think Israelis felt that by completing the withdrawal from Gaza, they had created an opportunity for peace for the Palestinians to seize upon. And what they saw was synagogues in flames, and that's something with a very ominous tone for the success of any future negotiations.

Dore Gold

I have decided to set the tone of this hearing, and this is a closed hearing. Even if the board and Ms. Cherry waive their right to a closed hearing, it's still the hearing officer's decision.

Howard Moore

All we wanted to do was bomb from the perimeter. It set a terrible tone for the game. What a terrible way to start the game.

Lou Lefevre

And they haven't seen a seasonal slowdown yet. Usually during late Q4 Nokia and others realize that they have shipped enough handsets and tone down their orders from companies like TI. But this hasn't happened yet.

Karri Rinta

You might be saying, 'I love you' to your girlfriend in Cantonese, but it will still sound like you're fighting. It's just our tone. We always sound like we're in a shouting match. Mandarin is so mellow. Cantonese is strong and edgy.

Howard Lee

That's something we talked about. We noticed that we were coming out flat at the start of games. We decided we'd set the tone and let our teammates follow us.

Jarrett Sparks

Our feeling is to tone down the costume and make it more accessible that way.

Scott Rosenberg

I just need something that has a dial tone and works Used works great for me.

Warren Fields

JGB prices got off a firmer start today aided by the bullish tone on the US Treasury market overnight, but then they fell back after the sharp gains in stock prices here.

Akitsugu Bando

It worked out all right. It really did. I give (Cosell) a lot of credit for setting a certain tone. He made my job so much easier.

Don Meredith

We knew this would be a big challenge, probably the big challenge of the season. That's why I'm so proud of their effort. The home team had a lot of intensity, but we came out and set the tone with our defense and got through a tough, tough game.

Jason Rubright

From dissolution to election you don't have much market activity, it's actually quite flat. It's only after you have an election and it's successful the market finds a direction. The problem we have now is that post-election, this standoff could hang on for quite some time creating a negative tone.

Patipat Pattaphongse

We came out ready to play today. That what we (coaches) wanted to see from this bunch, and they did exactly what we needed them to. We really set the tone early, and from that point on, we were pretty confident we'd get it done.

Skip Carr

We walked too many people, booted some balls and they hit. We threw all three pitchers at them. … Unfortunately it set the tone for the game.

Kelly Burns

This is our chance to set the tone as to how we're going to play this season. It needs to be with determination and enthusiasm and a high level of energy.

Nick Whaley

That run really pushed us for the rest of the game, and really set the tone. We just picked up our intensity on defense and that really did a lot for us on the offensive end.

Nate Whitford

Bo Manor is a tough place to play, but we match up well with them. If we come out and set the tone with our defense we should be in good shape.

Tom Dawley

We scored on our first three drives, which set the tone for the game. Our offense did a great job because they got the first downs under pressure when we had third and fourth conversions. After that, we mainly concentrated on defense.

Roger Day

Today's rates decision is expected to set the tone for the rest of the week. Hints of future rate hikes won't be welcomed by the market as higher rates start cutting into company earnings.

Harley Salt

The missed free throws gave the first half a funky kind of tone.

Derek Fisher

When he got angry, he would have a tone of voice that really scared me.

Sarah Garuti

We played a good defensive game and that set the tone.

Henry Fleck

The colors kind of take on a very earthy tone, but with a richness of a forest or a garden. Dark greens, redish browns, kind of golden yellows, and some oranges for accent.

Anna Sui

We always try to use the first three minutes of a quarter to set the tone. We came out and changed our offense a little bit and tried hard to get good shots.

Lee Rogers

We opened the day stronger and continued a little higher, and then as a slight surprise to some, ended up holding the positive tone throughout the day - whereas sometimes on days like this in the past you've given up the bulk of those gains. Silver, specifically, closed relatively close to the highs.

Dave Meger

She came big for us in the key moments. Scoring right off the bat for us really kind of set the tone.

Jason Streets

The Globes set the fashion tone for the rest of the season.

Randolph Duke

The interpretation of the deeds will set the tone in Kansas.

Fred Johnson

He is really excited for the girls. He's a very big part of what is happening. He set the tradition, he set the tone.

Mark Sovers

I find the tone somewhat more moderate and noted that there appears to be some talk of community-building, working with others, that wasn't there before. Its edges are somewhat rounded; it's not as strident. It bends over backward to stress America's need to work with others.

Charles Kupchan

Hosting this conference will help us attract further Japanese investment and raise Cincinnati USA's global recognition, ... We have collaborated extensively with the State of Ohio and many leading Cincinnati USA and Japanese firms to set a conference agenda spotlighting high-caliber business figures. This elite group's participation will set the tone for a very informative and successful event.

Michael Fisher

Adult Swim is a phenomenon with young adult viewers who identify with the edgy, irreverent tone of the shows and the block. Clearly, lots of Adult Swim fans are avid gamers, and we look forward to working with Midway to make games the fans will love.

John Friend

A lot of people would recognize the color of a photo wasn't right when the skin tone was wrong, so we decided to focus in on that problem. We figured if we could get the skin better, a lot of times the entire photo will look fine.

Mark Dahm

When I first saw this golf course I thought 4 or 5 or 6 under might win. So to shoot 19 under, I'd definitely rate this effort an A-plus. I give our guys a lot of credit. They came out and played extremely well. I hope this sets the tone for us for the year. It certainly shows we can win and can win against the best teams.

Chris Haack

When we issue a warning, watch or advisory it will light up flash and give an audible tone. If it's overnight it will wake you up.

Rick Shanklin

Once again, this episode shows the agency's complete tone-deafness.

Kirsten Moore

That helped set the tone. Then he (Upchurch) leads off and gets a hit.

Dave Tollett

Offensively, we're really moving the ball well. We're getting a solid effort out of everybody on the field. I'm real pleased with what we've done this weekend and the fact that the things we really needed to work on, we've made improvements on, and that just sets the tone for the rest of the season.

Dawn Chamberlin

We were fortunate to get an early lead and keep the crowd out of the game. Our offense really set the tone for us and our defense showed them a bit of everything to keep them off balance all night long.

Eugene Richardson

We really set the tone in the first quarter. We played a good second quarter, and it was nice that everyone got to play. The key was establishing the tone in the first half.

Evans Bouchard

November has had a lot better tone to it than usual. We're seeing money rotating into the growth stocks. If I had to guess, I think people are pretty positive on the market.

Evan Olsen

I thought our defense set the tone for the game early on, and we were able to ride that momentum for the rest of the game. Even when our second unit went in, we didn't have a drop off. We had (Ceres) down and we didn't let them back up.

Eric Reis

Everything has changed; my tone, my harmonics, my technique and control of my horn, ... It's all part of my evolution as a jazz musician, that combined with the fact I now perform regularly and practice two to three hours a day and more, when possible.

Ernie Watts

The main thing is our young kids are starting to improve and we're starting to peak at the right time of the year. We're getting a lot of hard work and push from the young kids. Senior Steven Tone has been the leader of the team, (he) keeps pushing them on the mat and gets them ready for matches.

Eric Milburn

That 69 really set the tone and gave me confidence to finish this thing off.

Eric Lindquist

Anytime you can get a block like that, it sets the tone defensively.

Erick Dampier

You can really raise your heart rate, burn fat and tone your lower body.

Emily Rockwell

You may also need to up the ante in terms of burning body fat by changing the kind of exercise you do, especially if you've been doing it for a long time. As we age we also lose body tone, so doing exercise that helps to build muscle tone can also help improve your shape.

Elizabeth Farrell

The overall tone of her being this kind of Menacing being who would send people out to beat people up, and things of that nature, I just find all of that to be absurd.

Elliot Mintz

We're playing good basketball right now. I thought the way we started the game really set the tone.

Elaine Elliott

Sex can no longer be the germ, the seed of fiction. Sex is an episode, most properly conveyed in an episodic manner, quickly, often ironically. It is a bursting forth of only one of the cells in the body of the omnipotent ''I',' the one who hopes by concentration of tone and voice to utter the sound of reality.

Elizabeth Hardwick

The weaker tone continues today, as in addition to bearish US inventory data, a slight warming trend is contributing to more brazen selling.

Ed Meir

He came to see me a few weeks ago, and I said, 'You're not doing it exactly the way I did it,' ... 'You're talking as though it was the four other boroughs against Manhattan.' ... I said 'There are plenty of middle-class people living in Manhattan.' He changed the tone then, so that it became more of a message about the middle class.

Ed Koch

It's huge. We've set the tone. Now we can go out and get the series (tonight).

Edgar Ramirez

The position he plays, you are required to be a leader. You can't hide. You are a tone setter for the entire team. However you go is how the team is going to go.

Earnest Byner

Take the tone of the company you are in.

Earl Of Chesterfield

I think the basic tone in Beijing is that we can only do what we can. We can't sacrifice national interest just for concern in the United States.

Zhu Feng
