...business has weathered the years well. "We've seen ups and downs, wars and rebellions," says Neville McDowell, jewelry buyer for the family-run company. The latest downturn will test it again. After a "phenomenal" decade, McDowell says, a squeeze on spending means sales this year are expected to dip by 10%. Even for a hardy company, says McDowell, "business is tough...
...Days...” doesn’t have much of a theme or unifying style; in fact, it jumps immediately from a song about guns to another about a coffee high before ambling into a few songs featuring Lyrica Anderson’s vocals. The album seems to dip in the middle, with slower, more melodic and atmospheric songs, like “The Train” and “Shine Again,” but then the mood is broken by the tenth track, “Pea Knuckle,” a skit featuring a crass...

It is true that the '08 season saw a small dip in attendance, but that probably had a good deal more to do with the loss of discretionary income than a problem with the game itself. This year the Fall Classic may not reach as many viewers as some previous contests, but we find the game as it ever was: entertaining, fair and fun. Swing away...
