...baseballs. Nearly 250 of them, collected since Bush was a child, fill two wooden cases along one wall. Each prize rests in its plastic cube displaying a superstar's scrawl. In the collection are bygone greats like pitcher Sandy Koufax and today's stars like Ken Griffey Jr. The light-blue signature of the legendary Stan Musial is barely legible on one dingy yellow ball. Most are bright white, though, including the one signed by both rival sluggers Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. There's a case for the totems offered by today's most popular player. "Best of Luck...
...second upcoming release involving Hatfield, Total System Failure, teams her up with Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh and Milligram drummer Zephan Courtney, and is much harder than the light acoustics of Beautiful Creature.

The barge, complete with oarsmen, morphs into a magnificent, multi-colored throne invoking Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun. Boyd chose to enhance the dichotomy between the Egypt of Cleopatra-light, airy and feminine-and the Rome of Caesar, which is cold, stoic and masculine. The music, composed by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov and arranged by John Lanchberry, echoes these themes as well...
...constraints) none too expressive, sweet but overly succinct: "It makes me happy to receive this award." The purpose behind her work, other than to be different, thus proves elusive, and Rowe's instruction on design art mediation was only mildly illuminating. Perhaps my authoritarian neighbor could have shed some light. I found myself regretting the pretzels...
