Getting a handle on the tune-up is really important to us as we head into the heart of the season. Bristol is a great facility for us to show everybody how serious we are about being a contender.

Bing Crosby

Every letter has its own peculiar air, which air is very much hurt if the tune is not rightly pitched; for instance, if a tune is set on A natural, and in pitching the tune, you set it a tone too low, you transpose the key into G, which is perhaps quite different from the intention of the author, and oftentimes very destructive to the harmony.

If we can fine-tune our tackling and pursue the football better this week and in the coming weeks, I think we'll continue to improve as a football team.

Tommy Felty

You can't tune work out or turn it off. You've got the e-mail, the voice mail, the pager. Even when you're not at work, work is very much with you. It's harder for employees to balance their personal needs and the expectations of the boss.

Nancy Kaylor

The Fed will want several months to confirm that inflation risks have shifted lower and there are subtle phrases that suggest they're not really believers. Take core [personal consumption expenditure inflation] down to 1.5% and they'll sing a louder tune.

Instead of money being spent on infrastructure projects, it has been spent propping up the pension system to the tune of billions of marks.

Mike Beebe

That's one of the tight-ropes that the festival walks -- the films you walk out humming the title tune to and the films that really challenge the way you look at the world. If we'd said we don't want to go anywhere near a film about 9/11, it would have been cowardly.

Peter Scarlet

They're our Tiger Woods. When they're on their game, people tune in and watch. When they're off their game, people tune in to see if they can find their game. Fans' interest is still there on both sides of the spectrum.

Joe Katich

A lot of teams were using this as a tune-up for state and district, but we were putting pressure on the kids to perform, perform, perform. Everybody kept a good attitude and I was happy with how they responded.

Bob Hamilton

We were looking at it as a tune-up going into tournaments. They were an athletic team and a team that had some size. We were down 42-37 with two minutes left in the third quarter, but - as has been our nature all year - we kept our composure and didn't panic when we were down. I give our senior guys credit. They don't panic and this is the type of game we're going to be playing starting Monday.

They seem to tune into anything that's [high-tech].

Celeste Beck

Richard Cotton

I still see lots of things we can fine-tune. I think we're slowly but surely getting a little bit tighter and executing better. It sounds funny, when you're 11-and-0, but we've played some bad stretches of basketball and still been able to overcome that. Our goal is to eliminate that and become more consistent.

Steve Bergman

After querying designers and compiling our statistical analysis, we know what direction people are leaning in this season. And with retailers more and more in tune to what their customers need, there is a deliberate attempt to get certain colors into stores.

Don Swarthout

[Melissa Clark has been researching Stewart for her dissertation as a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.] Most of the people I interviewed said, 'One of the reasons I turn to Martha Stewart is she doesn't make mistakes.

Melissa Clark

When someone sings his own praises, he always gets the tune too high.

John Ritzo

Combined, they only have about 10 million subscribers. You can look at that as being the equivalent of a couple of major cities. I had satellite radio and it was OK, but at the end of the day you want to be connected to what's happening locally so you'll tune in to your local radio stations to find out what's happening there or what concerts are going to be coming to town.

Brad Dubow

The gun lobby's leaders said today in Springfield that banning assault weapons would injure Illinois economically to the tune of $150 million and cost the state 750 jobs. Are Illinois residents really buying $150 million a year worth of assault weapons? If so, I urge the Legislature to move as quickly as possible on this proposal, because we have a bigger problem than we realized.

Jennifer Bishop

Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.

Phillip Brooks

Throughout our history, Hartmann has been able to take beautiful fabrics and leathers and turn them in to gorgeous, yet practical, luggage.

Loyola Hearn

What we really need to do is get in tune with our inner selves. We've gotten way out of whack with our hunger cues. Is it hunger, is it thirst, am I eating because I'm upset or depressed, am I eating because it's there?

Lori Jones

We're hoping that the increased visibility we'll have into shipments, and the information we'll be able to transfer to the customer in real time, will result in the customers' having a better opportunity to manage their freight while it's still in the DHL pipeline. By eliminating some of their inventory warehousing, RFID could help to fine-tune [clients' just-in-time operations].

Bob Berg

I've wanted to do it for years, but every attempt at it has turned into another tune. We have actually taken a different approach, we're doing a lot of sampling - we're even sampling bits of Flash!

Peter Banks

In order to compose, all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of.

At this point, he's very proficient, and he's reached a professional level. His works have a certain raw quality that's edgy and draws imagery from popular culture. He gets in tune with the wood he's working with and has a real natural feel for the materials.

Peter West

Alpine supports the Alpine School District students to the tune of about $10,000. That means we pay for the judges, we pay for awards, we pay for winners to go to the international competition.

Todd Lickliter

We're pretty good at that, playing name that tune. Joe gets all the rap songs. I get all the alternative stuff.

Justin Morneau

The guys believe in the program, and that's the reason why we could put another banner in the wrestling room. But I told the team that we haven't taken that next step. We need to take that next step. We need to fine tune little things. We need to take guys and instill a little more confidence.

Joshua Katcher

All these guys are really good at what they do, but they can always improve. And, this is an opportunity to fine tune their skills so they're at their peak performance.

Jonathan Boyd

It's about getting any little edge, planting any little seed. There's always talking going on out there. You see it every game, guys chirping at each other. The bottom line is are you going to let it affect you? Some guys do. Other guys are smart and just tune it out.

Chris Dingman

We need to stick as close to this as possible and the community panel should be chosen by the school board. Maybe we have to tune it up here and there, but it is a good format to follow.

Values are tapes we play on the Walkman of the mind: any tune we choose so long as it does not disturb others.

Jonathan Sacks

I was pleased. It was a good tune-up.

Andy Harmon

We consider sterling to be overvalued and expect it to weaken against the dollar in tune with rising expectations for a rate cut by the BOE. Until we get further confirmation that BOE will cut, sterling will be volatile.

Nile Easton

It's just a tune-up for the playoffs. You don't want to leave this thing not playing your best ball, that's for sure.

Joel Bruckenstein

Johnny felt his greatest gift as a songwriter was the ability to catch the mood of a tune.

Johnny Mercer

We have had a few key errors that have allowed the other teams to score runs. We have only been outside for four games (before last Wednesday) ... so I have to believe that with more time playing on a dirt field that we will fine-tune the defense and we will eliminate those errors.

Jaime Stewart

This is more of a tune-up for districts. That's what we've got first and we take it one match at a time. You have to because you never know how well you're going to do.

Jack Foster

Consumers are now faced with countless video channels and more and more places to tune in, including the internet and mobile devices.

Gary Mcdaniel

We need to fine-tune the role of the EDC in this community.

Paul Daley

Turn on, tune in and drop out.

Timothy Leary

Manny has fought Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales in his last (four) fights. He's been in tough fight after tough fight, he's been taking on the best fighters of the era and I don't believe that a fighter needs to be a life-and-death fight every time. In this case Manny's coming off a real war with Morales and this is a tune-up fight for the next war with Morales.

Gary Shaw

That's how Roscoe is. Whether it's penalty kill or just the game itself, he's very in tune to the game and wanting to learn and wanting to better himself.

Daryl Dickey

The human language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out a tune for a dancing bear, when we hope with our music to move the stars.

Roxanne Chase

You couldn't ask for a better tune-up going into the state tournament.

Ray Corn

We're in an era where the demand is for immediate hits that are destined to become obsolescent. Six months later, everyone forgets the artist and the tune. It's become like a con job. Producers, engineers, lawyers and accountants all make money, but the artists don't.

We were not able to finish the show as we ran out of time, so you will have to tune in next Saturday to see how we got on.

Frederick Forsyth

The more melancholy side of my literary personality is much in tune with BS Johnson's.

Art Laboe

I kind of took to it right away, but there are still things I need to tune up, and the learning is still in progress, ... ... Playing in the system has made me stronger and more of a puck hound.

Peter Mueller

I am trying to make sure that I fine tune my main areas, I work on strengths and weaknesses but I won't highlight any here.

Wavell Hinds

Because people like the mayor of Hartford or Jorge Perez endorse a candidate doesn't necessary mean that other people know about them or are in tune with all of that.

John Padilla

He was just an extraordinarily able guy. You couldn't work with Bill Clinton and not see it. We were philosophically in tune with each other and we took our politics seriously and it was so clear that Bill Clinton was one of the best.

Michael Dukakis

I told our guys, it comes at a good time when the pressure's off from region games. You can relax a little bit. It's a tune-up for the playoffs.

We have great test scores, veteran teachers who are good at what they do and a great group of kids. Our challenge is to look at what we can fine-tune (for continuous improvement).

Mark Dewhirst

I think you can have the greatest lyrics in the world and if it doesn't have the best tune in the world it will suck. I mean if the music wasn't important it would just be a poem.

We've dissolved ourselves down to hearing what we want to believe, ... The press must be objective, fair and balanced so people can make their own educated decisions. Now, people tune in to networks that say what they want to hear and spend less time reading newspapers.

Stephen Black

These are not credible opponents, and the fact that the agenda is marching to their tune hurts.

Kirsten Moore

I'm man enough to admit that I liked Journey during the Steve Perry days and occasionally still listen to their CDs. Surprised that the White Sox would latch onto that tune these days though. Maybe it can become the official song of the NBA, as part of their new dress code.

Tim Hall

These kinds of services are really important because they serve a purpose with customer loyalty, and maintaining that relationship beyond the warranty period. But also, the tune-up covers areas that are also cost drivers for warranty.

Victoria Sublette

He's very mild-mannered, and that's a good thing. On the field, he's not that mild-mannered and that's even better. He's taking everything you tell him, he's asking questions, he's very in tune.

Flying will give us a gain of some five weeks versus shipping, and is the only way to get GBR 78 there in time for the sailing team to practice on two new generation boats and tune up the second boat prior to the start of the Louis Vuitton Cup.

Peter Harrison

We tried to go on while he was gone, but we definitely missed the element he brings to our offense. We were trying to tune up for district, so having Corey out hurt us there, too.

Bernard Meyerson

Is it still going to be Monday Night Football or is it like Sunday night football on ESPN? ... There was a lot of tradition with that Monday night crew. I'll have to tune in to see if it still gives me that same chill when I hear that intro.

Nick Ferguson

I had my dysfunctions, but music gave me peace and joy. I never felt in tune with the world. My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me. My art was my autonomy.
