The hubbub about saving our daughters from the "Bossy" label might be waning but I still feel a need to weigh in.
I had to think about it a bit.
I'm pretty sure I was called bossy at some point in my youth and I am also pretty sure that being bossy was not viewed as a positive trait in my childhood home. In fact, my paternal grandmother was endlessly villainized and mocked for these very qualities, as was pretty much any outspoken woman in our family.
I'm sad as an adult to admit I always had a fear of coming off too much like my grandmother. Bossy for a woman, in my home culture, still equalled abrasive, unwomanly and worthy of scorn.
I find myself offering apologies to the air now. Hoping she'll hear me. What did I really know about her life? That from all her siblings and parents, she alone managed to be the sole survivor of the Holocaust. That she made the most of an often tough and certainly grief filled existence here. That she managed to raise three successful sons. Bossy's looking a lot better as I age.
When it came to my own daughters, I resolved from the start to raise them a little differently, with strong voices. This isn't always easy. Sometimes outspoken IS abrasive and their demands can be overwhelming, and seem selfish at times. But that's no reason to silence them.
One thing has made it easier for me not to squash their leadership spirit and to embrace their beautifully bossy natures. All I have to do is remember.
For many women and girls, like my grandmother and my daughter, bossy is not merely a first world phrase or an executive marketing ploy. It's a survival skill.
I wrote about raising daughters and getting beyond Bossy on my Babble Blog, if you care to read.

The Super Bowl really is all about the money. Indeed, the Super Bowl seems to be a money maker for every one. Tickets to attend the Super Bowl — a single seat — cost between $2,400 and $23,730, according to Fox Business [3]. Parking costs money, and the ads cost money. Indeed, many of us (especially those of us not really rooting for either team) just watch for the commercials. And commercials cost a pretty penny as well. This year, a 30-second spot cost $3 million.
There were some spots that were related to finances, and I found those quite interesting. I was kind of disappointed at the lack of a Capital One commercial this year. Here are some of the money commercials from Super Bowl XLV:
Visa Never Miss A Super Bowl Club
Use your Visa credit card, and you could win a trip to the Super Bowl! There are a number of spots, featuring members of a club that goes to the Super Bowl every year. Can you imagine how much money they've spent, especially with ticket prices going up all the time?
Careerbuilder Parking Lot
Careerbuilder had some funny monkey commercials a couple years back. What do you do when you work with a bunch of monkeys? You find a new job! Or you start your own home business. In any case, I really enjoyed this ad about the frustrations of parking and commuting.
Cars.com Go First
When deciding on what car to buy (or any product for that matter), it is a good plan to shop around, and read reviews. This Cars.com commercial illustrated the idea of getting the best for your money with this fun commercial.
E*Trade Baby Tailor
In my mind, no Super Bowl is complete without a new E*Trade Baby commercial. I have yet to get tired of the little guy. They always do such funny things with him. The Tailor commercial was pretty decent, but I still like the time out commercials better, and my favorite is still the one about retirement and the Lottery.
Groupon Tibet
One of the most controversial commercials of the Super Bowl was this Groupon ad. Groupon is known for its social deals, in which you get discounts when large amounts of people buy the same thing. As you can see, you initially think that you are watching an inspiring ad, calling for help for the endangered Tibetan culture. But it turns out Timothy Hutton is just shilling for Groupon.
Chatter.com Halftime Will.i.am
If you have a business, you might be interested in Chatter.com. The Chatter.com commercial played just before the halftime show, which featured the Black Eyed Peas. Not my favorite commercial of the SuperBowl, but it did get the point across about the importance of connectivity in business.
My Favorite Super Bowl Commercial
Everyone (the "experts" anyway) said that the Detroit commercial with Eminem was the best. But my favorite Super Bowl commercial was the Bud Light Hack Job commercial. What really opens up a room and makes your kitchen better? Beer! Even though I don't drink, I can't get over the creativity that goes into beer commercials, especially Bud commercials.
What was your favorite Super Bowl commercial?

Range managers typically do the following:
Range managers are often supervised by foresters and forest and conservation technicians, who direct their work and evaluate their progress. They do basic tasks to maintain and improve forest quality, such as planting seedlings or removing diseased trees. To plant seedlings, they use digging and planting tools. To cut trees, they use handsaws or power saws.
Some range managers work on tree farms, where they plant, cultivate, and harvest many different kinds of trees. Their duties vary with the type of farm and may include planting seedlings, spraying to control weed growth and insects, and harvesting trees.
Some range managers work in forest nurseries, where they sort through tree seedlings, discarding those that don't meet standards. Others use hand tools or their hands to gather woodland products, such as decorative greens, tree cones, bark, moss, and other wild plant life. Some may tap trees to make syrup or chemicals.
Range managers who are employed by or under contract with the government may clear brush and debris from trails, roadsides, and camping areas. They may clean kitchens and rest rooms at recreational facilities and campgrounds. Range managers with a fire protection background also help to prevent fires. For example, they may construct firebreaks, which are gaps in vegetation that can help slow down or stop the progress of a fire. They also may work with technicians to study how quickly fires spread and how successful fire suppression activities were.

Range managers typically work for local governments or on privately owned forest lands. Those employed by forest management services may work for the federal government on a contract basis. They typically work outdoors, sometimes in remote locations and in all types of weather. They may have to walk long distances through densely wooded areas. However, the increased use of machines has reduced some of the discomfort of working in bad weather and has made tasks much safer. Workers also use proper safety measures and equipment, such as hardhats, protective eyewear, and safety clothing.
Most range managers are employed full time and have a routine work schedule. Seasonal employees may be expected to work longer hours and at night. Responding to an emergency may require workers to work longer hours and at any time of day.

Jackson Northwest (2-2 overall, 1-2 Capital Area Activities Conference Gold Division)at Jackson Lumen Christi (4-0, 2-0)
The Lowdown: If Jackson Northwest were to compose a list of least-favorable teams to face while riding a losing streak, Jackson Lumen Christi would have to be at or very near the top of it. Northwest has lost two games in a row to CAAC Gold Division foes Mason and Eaton Rapids. For the Mounties to avoid extending that streak, they'll have to do something they've never done before: Beat the Titans. Lumen Christi is 24-0 all-time against Northwest, including last season's 48-3 victory. The Titans enter Friday night's game undefeated and unchallenged this season, having outscored opponents 162-26 with their smallest margin of victory being 29 points.
Key Matchup: Lumen Christi passing offense vs. Northwest passing defense: Conventional wisdom dictates to stop Lumen Christi, one must stop the running game. And that's for good reason, as the Titans have rushed for nearly 1,000 yards in four games. But Lumen Christi has a passing game that can't be ignored, either. Senior quarterback Coley Crowley has completed 23-of-29 passes this season for 471 yards. The last two games, Crowley has thrown for 415 yards on 18-for-23 passing with six touchdowns. Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 158 yards a game against the Mounties secondary. In its 17-7 loss last week to Eaton Rapids, Northwest gave up 189 passing yards, including several big plays. While shutting down the Lumen Christi running game is no easy task, the Mounties need to be just as aware of the damage the Titans' aerial weapons can do as well.
Prediction: Jackson Northwest's first goal Friday night needs to be just remain close to Lumen Christi at halftime, but no team has yet managed that feat. The Titans are outscoring opponents 132-14 in the first half this season and therefore have yet to play under the pressure of a close game in the second half. To get to the fourth quarter still in the game, the Northwest defense must play its strongest game of the year. On the flip side, the Mounties offense must show more consistency. Outside of runs of 40 and 39 yards, in its loss to Eaton Rapids, Northwest averaged just 2.3 yards per play. That will not be enough against the Titans. Look for the Mounties to use the motivation of playing Lumen Christi to show improvement from last week and from last season's 45-point loss to the Titans, but Northwest won't be able to keep up. Lumen Christi 38, Northwest 16.

A recently released legislative audit was critical of how state Homeland Security officials allowed a contract to build a single emergency communications tower in Lewis County to blossom into a series of projects across West Virginia.
The state office allowed a Jane Lew company, Premier Construction, to build 17 towers, even though the company did not have a state contract to do so. Premier Construction was the company hired in 2009 by the Lewis County Commission to build a tower in the Roanoke area.
But when additional state and federal money became available, state Homeland Security leaders used the Lewis County contract as a means to allow Premier Construction to be the contractor for those additional projects.
The Lewis County Commission was then asked by the state to serve as a pass-through agency, meaning the contractors would send their bills to the Lewis County Commission, which would then request the funding from the state and would fill out the necessary paperwork to do so.
When that money was transferred into the Lewis County accounts, the contractors would then be paid within three days. Lewis County was selected because it had the valid, working contract with Premier Construction at the time.
"Lewis County didn't receive a penny for any of this," County Administrator Cindy Whetsell said. "We were told by the state it was a valid state contract. But the audit showed that the bidding process didn't follow state policies, that it was valid (only) as a county contract. But why would we as Lewis County ever have questioned the state agency about the state policy?"
According to the audit, West Virginia had received more than $126 million in federal funds to expand high-speed Internet, and that funding also included $38 million to upgrade the state's emergency communication towers. More than $10 million was appropriated for tower construction, while the remaining funds were to be used to purchase radio equipment.
The state's purchasing director was concerned about the tower projects and the Lewis County contract and asked Homeland Security leaders to halt any construction, which did not happen, according to the audit.
"We did not know about that until it came out in the legislative audit," Whetsell said. "The state is saying (Homeland Security) should have never used our contract, that it should have been bid out differently because it was never just one project. The state said the contract was good for one tower, not 17."
The audit findings could be turned over to the U.S. District Attorney's Office in West Virginia for further investigation.
"I truly do not think that at any point there was any intent to do something wrong," Whetsell said. "I really think they just wanted to get this system built. They just wanted to build these towers."
The tower project is supposed to improve the response time and communications of emergency responders and to make broadband Internet available in rural areas of the state. The state system would also be linked to a national public safety network.
"Nobody ever talks about how effective this system is," Whetsell said. "You have emergency responders now being able to communicate with each other in areas they had never been able to before."

"With heavy hearts" the Children's Cancer Research Fund announced the news on its website, writing, "Zach was at home and at peace with those he loved most. Zach's life ended just as he lived, embraced by the love of his family, friends, grace and music."
Sobiech, who celebrated his 18th birthday on May 3, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma when he was 14, and was told by doctors last June that he had possibly less than a year to live. That December, he released "Clouds." The song about facing death got more than three million YouTube views. Just this month, Rainn Wilson led a group of celebrities lip-syncing in a moving tribute video.
The Children's Cancer site message went on to read: "Cancer may have taken Zach too soon, but he leaves a lasting legacy that many of us will never achieve. His message of love and hope delivered through infectious lyrics and simple tunes have imprinted on the minds and hearts of millions around the world." Read the full statement here.
"It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our son Zachary David Sobiech," his family said in a statement obtained by the Today Show. "Our family has been blessed not only by his amazing presence in our lives, but also by the love and support of our family and friends and by so many people in the community. In particular we'd like to thank those people who listened with their hearts and helped Zach bring his message and his music to the world."
The Sobiech family – parents Rob and Laura, and siblings Alli, Sam and Grace – requests that all memorials be directed to the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund to help carry on Zach's mission to help kids with cancer.

Hill 'n' Dale lowers most of its stallion fees
Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Lexington, Ky., released its 2013 stallion roster along with stud fees on Friday, and lowered fees for six of its eight returning stallions, including Stormy Atlantic and Zensational.
Stormy Atlantic, 11th on the North American general sire list, will stand for $30,000 in 2013, down from $40,000 this year. His top runners in 2012 include Grade 1 winners Get Stormy and Next Question.
Zensational will stand for $15,000 in 2013, down from $20,000. The first foals for Zensational, a 6-year-old son of Unbridled's Song, will race next year.
Hill 'n' Dale will add Maclean's Music to its 2013 roster at a fee of $6,500. A 4-year-old son of Distorted Humor, he won his only start by 7 1/4 lengths at Santa Anita Park in March 2011, registering a Beyer Speed Figure of 114, the highest recorded by a debut winner. He was retired by owner-breeder Stonestreet Stables last month because of complications from the removal of a ruptured splint bone.
The remainder of Hill 'n' Dale's 2013 roster with fees payable when the foal stands and nurses (with 2012 fees if changed): Concord Point, $7,500; Harlington, $3,500 ($7,500); Indygo Shiner, $8,500 ($10,000); Midnight Lute, $15,000; Misremembered, $5,000 ($7,500); and Roman Ruler, $10,000 ($15,000).

Auto Tech
Three smarter ways to do GPS navigationToday's in-dash and handheld navigation gadgets leave a lot to be desired. But not for long; take a look at the future.
[ background music ] >> When I say GPS navigation, what do you think of? I bet you think of either a big buck in-dash car system, or maybe one of these PND devices, portable navigation device, a Tom Tom, a Garman. They're great, the price is much more affordable than they used to be. But you got the cables, the suction mount, all that paraphernalia. Let me show you three things that I think point to the future of GPS navigation. Inside this 2007 Acura RL I'm surrounded by technology, including a great nav system, big screen, bright, easy to control with the knobs here on the dash. Only one problem. It doesn't come out. What if I could do all the same stuff on a cell phone? You see, my Razr is running Tele-Nav Navigator, a software program that takes advantage of the fact that modern phones have GPS. The service is on here on a variety of carriers and many phones, and you pay to use it. A few bucks to maybe ten or twelve dollars a month for unlimited use. But the bottom line is it's always with you. One of the first questions you may have is how do I enter my address on that little thing? There are varieties of ways of doing it. You can type it using the keypad, that's a little cumbersome. Or you can speak it, they have a toll-free number you call right from the phone, and you tell it the address you want. Or you can go to the Tele-Nav website, log into your own page, and type in the address, and then that is sent to your phone. Now in addition to giving you directions, you can also search. There's a bit of a community here where other Tele-Nav users are letting you know where their favorites or, or you can search for gasoline by the best price for example. These are all part of the intelligent navigation systems that are starting to come out in a much bigger package. But because the intelligence of a phone-based nav is offloaded back onto servers on the web through the cellular network, you can get a lot of power in a small package, it all comes with a connection. Now another new wrinkle in navigation, is to take a nav device and give it connectivity. The Dash Express does that. This product's coming out Fall of '07. These units all talk to base, and base talks back to them to give you traffic, both predictive as well as real time, as other units tell you basically how the traffic is in your area. The other reason they use connectivity is for this, Yahoo local search. Let's say you're on the road somewhere and you want to get an iPod. You just go here and type in a very simple keyword search. iPod. And here are the possible choices you can go to. Note the star ratings there, that's Yahoo Community rating. Ha, there's the Apple store. Five stars, big surprise huh? Then you hit the Go button, and off we go to plot the course to the Apple store. Now it does that several ways. It gives you choices of how to go there, shorter or longer depending on the kind of road you want to take, if you want to avoid a freeway, go on surface streets, and also if there was traffic it would show up here on a color coded set of dots. Now here's one last idea in in-dash GPS nav that we're watching with quite a bit of excitement. This is an Eclipse car stereo. It's the AVN2210P. And it looks like a regular double DIN automotive stereo unit, except you see over here you've got a nav screen that's of decent size. It's a touch screen, and you may recognize that interface. That's a Tom Tom unit. Here's the part we love though. Press this little button here, and you undock the actual navigation part. Now that's cool. You can take it to different vehicles, or dock it back in your own. You got to like this idea. So whether it's connected navigation, cell phone navigation, or dockable in-dash navigation, these are all three important new trends that answer shortcomings in today's GPS nav marketplace. You'd be wise to keep an eye on all three.

Dear Ann, In the immortal words of the Indigo Girls, the hardest to learn is the least complicated. I speak to you from the lowly, lonely place that a person is in when she has just ripped back 8 hours of garter stitch because she had 1 stitch more on the right side of the center stitch of her triangular shawl than she had on the left side of the center stitch of her triangular shawl, and she couldn't see where the stitch was missing. ...Read More

LOCK HAVEN - Dave Peters could not have asked for much more out of his band of Lady Wildcats yesterday.
His pitchers combined for a no-hitter against Philipsburg-Osceola. The Central Mountain batters earned seven hits off a stingy pitcher and scored three runs on the defending Class AA state champion Lady Mounties.
Add that all up and most the time you have a victory.
Most of the time.
Yesterday, when P-O came into Allison Township was an exception - as the Lady Mounties walked out of a rainy Peddie Park with a 4-3 victory.
"This is the best this team has played all season," Peters said. "We came in prepared, worked hard and listened. We battled to the very end and we had our chances. "
The big difference today?
Mother Nature.
During the first five innings of play, CM starting pitcher Whitney Peters held the Lady Mounties in check - giving up one run (unearned).
Then the skies over Peddie Park let loose.
Whitney Peters ran into trouble managing the conditions - issuing three walks and hitting a batter en route to a three-run inning.
"The conditions got to Whit a little," coach Peters said. "She had trouble working her curveball. When she lost that pitch, she lost some rhythm. Her plant foot started to slide and it hurt her control some."
For P-O pitcher Kate Burge, the conditions were just as unkind in the bottom of the sixth - as the rock steady junior allowed two runs and four hits in the frame.
"That wasn't a fair field," P-O coach Jim Gonder said. "It wasn't good for either team. For both teams, the weather came into play. It was a well-played game for five innings and then the weather took a turn for the worse."
Bad weather or not, Central Mountain certainly had its chances to break the game open.
In the first inning, the Lady Wildcats stranded two runners - both in scoring position.
In the second, they left another two on. One left on base in the third.
But it would ultimately be the sixth that hurt the most, as the Wildcats' inning ended with the bases loaded.
In total, nine runners would be left on base - six of them in scoring position.
"We spent a lot of time on our defense," Gonder said. "When it is time to step it up, we make a play. We did the same thing against Bellefonte last week. When the pressure is turned up, these girls respond. We gutted one out today."
Central Mountain gave Burge all she handle, working her into tough spots time and again. Each time the Wildcats put pressure on her, she responded.
"We hit the ball today," coach Peters said. "Last game, she mowed down seven of the first nine batters. Today, we had good at-bats. We laid off bad pitches. We are getting better and adjusting to quality pitching. When we look back at the last game, we hurt ourselves a lot. We swung at pitches out of the zone. Today, we stay disciplined and hit the ball hard. I can live with that. The girls worked the pitcher and got the count in their favor."
Burge finished the game with four strikeouts, three of them to end an inning.
"Kate threw a great game," Gonder said. "Defensively, we played great behind her. We just need to kick start the hitters."
For Central Mountain, this game is fair assessment of how their season has been going.
A few untimely miscues and forces outside of their control cost them a victory.
The miscues came in the second inning - back-to-back throwing errors put runners on base and a wild pitch advanced one of them across the plate.
With one run in and another runner on third, the Lady Wildcats stood their ground and played smart ball.
A heads-up play by Kayla Glossner and great pitching by Whitney Peters, CM got out of the inning with no more damage.
"We worked those scenarios yesterday," coach Peters said. "We practiced putting runners on different bases and what we needed to do. Today, the executed it well. Kayla made a great play and Whitney worked her way out of trouble nicely."
For all the miscues and terrible weather, the Lady Wildcats had a chance in the bottom of seventh.
With the sun poking through the Clinton County sky, Jessica Strouse laced an inning-opening triple to the right-center field gap.
After a line-drive out by Glossner, Shady earned a free pass to first.
First and third, winning run at the plate, one out and the winning run coming to the plate - in the form of speedy junior Johnna Garbrick.
"We had a bunt call on," coach Peters said. "The batter knew the pitch was out of the zone and the runner went with her instincts. It was a close call at second. I will live with being aggressive. If Averi (Shaffer - courtesy runner for Shady) got into second, it is a different outcome."
Close or not, Shaffer was called out on a throw to second by P-O catcher Carly Gonder.
While Strouse would score from third on the play, the lost base runner would ultimately end the Wildcat threat and seal the game for Burge and the Lady Mounties.
Central Mountain will be back in action on Saturday, as it hosts Thunder on the Mountain.

Robert Taylor, Have And Take 1, 1998. Museum Number: E578-1996
The Photographer - Robert Taylor, born Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, 1958
Robert Taylor first picked up a camera at the age of 14. On leaving school he joined the Air Force, before taking a law degree. He then spent five years in publishing and it was during this time that he commissioned Rotimi Fani-Kayode to take his portrait (also in this box). This was a decisive moment that set him on the path to become a professional photographer.
'I finally saw somebody doing photography in a way that made me think that it was the main thing I wanted to do with my time. Rotimi was very generous and indulgent, explaining his approach, and this helped me get more focused. We used each other quite a lot, as models. These were amazing photographic lessons, just watching someone at work. My preoccupation was with portraiture, but within a wide-ranging definition, mainly as abstract work around the body. The people in my pictures are symbols, ciphers and objects.' Robert Taylor
The Photograph - Have and Take 1, 1998, gelatin-silver print, © Robert Taylor, Museum Number: E.578-1996
This photograph is part of a series from a collaboration with the dancer, Mark Linton Harris. He wanted to make a piece of dance in which the photography would be more than evidence that the dance had been there.
'Mark Linton Harris took the role of the wife, dancing with an ex-partner of his, with whom there was quite a lot of tension. The performance became very much about the tensions of being in an intimate relationship. It was also interesting to watch, for the first time, the relationship between black and white flesh and different kinds of strength.
I took a different edit of the images for my purposes which were more to do with the inter-play of black and white, at one level about race and society and on another, just about the aesthetic of it. ' Robert Taylor
The erotic element of Have and Take 1 can have another quite different interpretation that doesn't see it as erotic at all, but preoccupied with the flower as a symbol of all sorts things that are valuable in society. The black hand doesn't necessarily need to be black, rather it symbolises the odd tense state we're in these days. We're post slavery and post the chronic abuse of women, yet you find that resources of various kinds and opportunities, whilst they're within everybody's reach, that grasp can be very different.
'The black hand is taking a very strident, possessive and somewhat insecure grip and the white hand is coming from a different position and is utterly effortless by comparison in what it can take.' Robert Taylor

Markéta Luskacová, Sleeping Pilgrim, 1967-70, © Markéta Luskacová. Museum Number: PH. 1680-1980
The Photographer - Markéta Luskacová , born Prague, 1944
Markéta Luskacová studied at the University of Prague between 1962 and 1968. She wrote her thesis, illustrated with her own photographs, on traditional forms of religious faith in Slovakia. She then took a photography course at the Academy of Film and Fine Arts. In 1969 she was elected as member of the National Union of Artists and the following year she won its scholarship. Luskacová now lives in Britain and is an associate member of Magnum.
The Photograph - Sleeping Pilgrim, 1968, gelatin-silver print, © Markéta Luskacová, Museum Number: PH.1680-1980
The picture was taken in the late 1960s and was exhibited prior to the Prague Spring uprising in 1968.
Luskacová made friends with a group of pilgrims and one summer was invited to travel with them. Their religious practice was based on the Catholic tradition, with a special veneration for the Virgin Mary. She witnessed and recorded community celebrations, from the death of a friend's mother to the annual pilgrimages.
Pilgrimage was the most significant break the people would have had from their working lives. It was a chance to meet with friends and family and mark significant moments in the life of the community. The rural way of life meant the community was isolated from the rest of the world. However, even at the time these photographs were taken, this separateness was fading.
The man in this image seems precariously balanced on the ground in his tree-shaded sleep, both vulnerable and sheltered from the concerns of the day. The physically demanding nature of a pilgrimage on foot is evident in fact that he can rest so soundly in such an awkward position.
'The pilgrim takes refuge in God from the world itself, seeking forgiveness and praying for a better predicament in the afterlife. Unlike the holidaymaker, the pleasure of the pilgrim is not in escaping from reality but in going to the place where it can be seen more clearly. The former's dreams are lived out within the confines of the earth; the latter's are located far beyond.' Shagufta Yaqub, Guardian, January 2001

Eikoh Hosoe, Portrait of Yukio Mishimi From Ordeal By Roses, 1963, No.32. © Eikoh Hosoe. Museum Number: PH. 1239-1980
The Photographer - Eikoh Hosoe, born Yonezawa, Japan, 1933
Hosoe was the son of a Shinto priest and was familiar with the erotic prints called shunto in his father's shrine. He was evacuated from Tokyo during the war but returned to the city in 1945, where he mixed with a community of artists and writers.
'The language of black and white, male and female, is the vocabulary of a duality that Hosoe crossed in the same motion as he has drawn a line between East and West.' Mark Holborn, author
The Photograph -
Portrait of Yukio Mishima, 1963, gelatin-silver print, © Eikoh Hosoe, Museum Number: PH.1239-1980
The writer Yukio Mishima committed suicide in 1970, 'worn out by conflicts between spirit and flesh, words and the body, art and action'. The book containing this image, Ordeal by Roses (Ba-Ra-Kei), was only published after Mishima's death, in 1971. Its final chapter was about dreams and death and can be seen as a morbid rehearsal for his last days.
'The portrait with the single rose is a picture of polarities. The dark menace of his eyes is of a man on a determined course. The white rose bleeds into the white of his skin. The picture is stripped down to a final mask with a fierce lyrical accusation.' Mark Holborn, author

David Goldblatt, Farmer's Son With His Nursemaid, Marico Bushfeld, 1964. Museum Number: E12-1992
The Photographer - Daivd Goldblatt, born Johannesburg, 1930
'I am neither an activist nor a missionary, yet I had begun to realise an involvement with this place and the people among whom I lived that would not be stilled and that I needed to grasp and probe. I wanted to explore the specifics of our lives, not in theories but in the grit and taste and touch of things, and to bring those specifics into that particular coherence that the camera both enables and demands.' David Goldblatt
The Photograph
Farmers Son With His Nursemaid, Marico Bushfeld, 1964, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: E12-1992
David Goldblatt discovered the stories of Herman Charles Bosman (1905-1951) in the 1960s. They were set in the Marico Bushveld in the Transvaal and told of 'the lives of the Afrikaner bushveld farmers, their black workers and much of what came of that potent mix'. In getting an assignment to record the lives of the Afrikaners in this area, Goldblatt 'found out that [Bosman's] stories were not only true to life, but true to fact', with many of his characters being based on individuals in the community. The farm in the picture is where Bosman taught, and the boy is his landlady's grandson.
The intimacy of the boy with his nursemaid is most evident in the way her hand clasps his heel, suggesting both affectionate control and protection. Twenty years later, photographer Robert Taylor voiced the question, 'I'd love to know whether there was any hope or reason for these people to have a connection that was even as remotely as relaxed and accepting as that one?' The apartheid system would have deemed such intimacy in adulthood as a criminal offence.
Goldblatt uses a clear, uncomplicated image to unravel some of the complexities of 1960s South Africa. Mark Haworth-Booth, writing of this photograph, notes the 'simplicity of the place, with its cement slab seat and burnt out sky, the way the capped white child stands over the bare headed black servant, the white structure in the brown land, trust and love.
'I needed to grasp something of what a man is and is becoming in all the particularity of himself and his bricks and bit of earth and of this place, and to contain all this in a photograph.' David Goldblatt

Eugene Smith, Nurse Midwife Maud Callen, North Carolina, 1951. Museum Number: PH.1056-1978
The Photographer - Eugene Smith, born Wichita, Kansas, 1918, died Tucson, Arizona, 1978
Eugene Smith began taking photographs at the age of 14, recording the time of the Kansas Dust Bowl and the Depression. He had permission from the school's principal to leave class to photograph whenever he wanted to, for example, on the approach of a dust storm.
Smith began working as a photojournalist in 1935, though his strong ideals bought him into conflict with editors and he was dismissed from a number of posts.
He was rejected from the Navy on health grounds but in 1943 became the war correspondent in the Pacific. This was thanks to the support of the photographer Edward Steichen, then the curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Smith was later severely injured and returned to New York where Life magazine re-employed him, though they were still not keen on his idealism. He finally resigned in 1955 over the restrictive editorial policy. Smith joined the Magnum photographic agency in 1955.
'I caressed every underdog who convinced me of the rightness of his situation, and many thought I was soft. But my compassion sheathes tempered steel which I do not like to unsheathe unless it becomes a question of right and responsibility.
My belief is that my responsibilities within journalism are two. My first is to my subjects. My second responsibility is to my readers. I believe that if I fulfil these two responsibilities I will automatically have fulfilled my responsibilities to the magazine.' Eugene Smith
The Photograph - Nurse Midwife Maude Callen, North Carolina, 1951, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: PH.1056-1978
'This image comes from the essay of mine that I find the most rewarding of all my work. The nurse midwife, Maude Callen, is, to me, near the pure ideal of what a life of affirmative contribution can be. She is perhaps the most completely fulfilled person I have ever known - combining a marvellous wisdom and compassion, a strength of true humility and true pride, in a sheerly beautiful balance against insufferable odds.
The essay, without using a hammer, made a very strong point against racism by simply showing a remarkable woman doing a remarkable job in an impossible situation. And the public reacted wonderfully. To the best of my knowledge, it was the first time that a major magazine ever published a major essay on a coloured person. And I thank Life magazine for it.' Eugene Smith

David Goldblatt, + 2.30am Wolwerkraal, Marabastad Bus, 3 Hours Still To Go, First Passengers of the Day. Museum Number: Ph.65-1987 +7.15pm Travelling Out of Pretoria, On The 7pm Marabastad – Wolwerkraal Bus. Museum Number: Ph.66-1987.
The Photographer - David Goldblatt, born Johannesburg, 1930
David Goldblatt was born in South Africa of a Lithuanian Jewish family in 1930. He was interested in photography from high school onwards, though he was only able to develop his career as a magazine photographer on selling the family's clothing business after the death of his father. His working life since then has always been based out of the studio, on assignments.
In 1989 David Goldblatt set up the Market Photography Workshop in Johannesburg to support the training of those disadvantaged by the apartheid system. His pictures quietly mark out one of the realities of the apartheid system and of lifestyles that still continue.
The Photographs
The Transported of KwaNdebele, February, 1984
(Top) ± 2.30am Wolwerkraal, Marabastad Bus, 3 Hours Still To Go, First Passengers Of The Day, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: PH.65-1987
(Bottom) ± 7.15pm Travelling out of Pretoria, on the 7pm Marabastad-Wolwerkraal bus, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: PH.66-1987
The people in these photographs were workers from KwaNdebele, the homeland for Ndebele people, established under the apartheid system of ethnic separation that governed South Africa between 1948 and 1990. There was no work in KwaNdebele, so they travelled to Pretoria and beyond every day. For some, this meant a three-hour bus journey to Pretoria and then a further one-hour of travel by bus, taxi or train to their places of work. Four hours of travel each way, eight hours per day. They would rise at 2:00am and get home at between 9:30 and 10:00pm.
'These photographs were taken on a homeward-bound bus, the last one of the day. It left Pretoria at 7:00pm and reached its terminus in KwaNdebele at 9:30pm. On the bus to work, going from deepest night to dawn, people slept uncomfortably but profoundly. On this, the homeward journey, their sleep was restless in the extreme, with no place of comfort for head or limbs.
Apartheid has gone, but there are still very few employment opportunities in the entirely artificial creation that was the 'self-governing state' of KwaNdebele. The workers continue to make these journeys.' David Goldblatt

Henri Cartier-Bresson, Mississippi, 1961. Museum Number: PH.682-1978</p>
The Photographer
Henri Cartier-Bresson, born Chanteloup, France, 1908
Henri Cartier-Bresson began making photographs in France in the 1930s using a hand-held Leica 35mm camera. This allowed him to combine his strong sense of composition with spontaneous observations.
He photographed extensively in the United States in 1947 and returned many times in future years. In 1961 he photographed civil rights subjects for a book entitled Let Us Begin: The First 100 Days of the Kennedy Administration. The intention of this publication was to combat racism in the American South.
The Photograph
Mississippi, 1961, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: PH.682-1978
'As a photographer Cartier-Bresson has an in-built sense of rhythm. Where others might have to think about what to arrange in front of them, he has a subconscious radar and finds the position where everything falls into place. But he has also trained himself very rigorously to strengthen this natural sense of form. He believes very deeply in training the eye until it becomes second nature.' Mark Haworth-Booth, V&A
Wallace Westerfeldt, the author for the chapter in which this image appeared, wrote, 'The Negro's plight is symbolised in this picture: at Hinds County, Mississippi, outside a grocery store, a white citizen complacently lounges on a large comfortable bench while two negroes huddle on a small rickety one. Southern whites insist facilities are "separate but equal".'
'Cartier-Bresson remembers taking this picture, recalling in a recent conversation that he saw the scene from the car in which he and Westerfeldt were travelling. He was about to get out when Westerfeldt intervened, telling him to stay in the car. Feelings were running high and HCB made the exposure through the car window before they quickly drove away.' Mark Haworth-Booth, V&A
'These are not decisive moments. These are moments that Cartier-Bresson is looking for. These are not ambiguous snaps that are pulled out. These are as constructed as any other picture. He is highly trained with regard to looking for the ironic moments that can be held up as symbolic gestures, through photography, that can stand the test of time and represent issues around difference.
These moments still occur in parks and public spaces in a variety of different situations. An image like this could equally be taken in Palestine or in France, in Marseilles, or anywhere that cultures clash.' Mark Sealy

Roy De Carava, Sitting On A Stoop with A Baby, 1950. Museum Number: E.277-1999
The Photographer - Roy DeCarava, born Harlem, New York, 1919
Roy DeCarava is the first African-Caribbean artist to be awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. He has spent much of his working life recording the Harlem community in which he was born. Like Henri Cartier-Bresson, he uses a hand-held, 35mm camera and believes that the man in the street is the vital embodiment of human values and cultures.
Edward Steichen, an influential curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, supported DeCarava's career and included his work in the popular Family of Man exhibition that toured internationally in the 1950s.
The Photograph - Sitting on a Stoop with a Baby, 1950, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: E.277-1999
The photograph is Roy DeCarava's illustration for The Sweet Flypaper of Life, a book written by Langston Hughes in 1955. The text evocatively describes Harlem at that time.
It's too bad there's no front porches in Harlem:
Almost nothing except stoops to set on
Or steps
Or doorways to lean in
And in the summertime, maybe a vacant lot
But almost everywhere there's something to set on or lean on,
Somebody is setting or leaning
The book is about life in Harlem, as seen through the eyes of Mary Bradley. She is a fictional grandmother, with a wayward son and a much-loved grandchild that she cares for. The poem is directed at St Peter, heaven's gatekeeper, and is meant to persuade him that there is much she still has to do and enjoy about life. She wants to stay and see the genuine integration of different races, rather than when, 'The rush hour in the subway mixes everybody - white, black, Gentile, Jew - closer than you ever are to your relatives'.
'[Roy DeCarava's work shows] a shift from the early interest in the documentary image, with African-Caribbean artists bringing into visibility the social life of black communities who had previously not been considered worthy of being recorded.
[His] approach is almost modernist, conversational, relaxed and not seeking that unique event. He is not driven by events, but is nosing about with his camera, catching people unawares… His exquisite control of the shades of light - there are no whites, just tones between dark black and pale grey - capture the light of urban situations. DeCarava is the visual equivalent of jazz improvisers, like Coltrane.' Stuart Hall

Val Wilmer, Kenneth Terroade In A Flat In Putney, July 1971. Museum Number: Circ. 235-1973
The Photographer - Val Wilmer, born Harrogate, England, 1941
From the 1960s Val Wilmer interviewed and photographed jazz musicians in Britain and North America. She often found herself marginalised and vulnerable as a woman in this exclusively male world and the question 'What's a white girl doing here?' still gets asked today, despite her reputation and mature age.
She also wrote jazz, under a pseudonym so she wouldn't jeopardise her chance of a US visa at a later date. Her association with the black community would not have been viewed favourably by the immigration authorities.
Wilmer's main regret is that her photographs remain in the territory of jazz music and are not subjected to the art criticism that other photographers experience.
Her intention was to 'feel a situation' in her photographs. This meant capturing the dark figures of the musicians against the darkness of clubs and rehearsal spaces, and enjoying the process of concentration required to achieve this.
'To really take pictures you have to leave yourself behind: leave you thoughts about other things and enter into the world of the people you are photographing, to show how they feel. The detail in people's lives is in the feeling.' Val Wilmer
The Photograph - Kenneth Terroade in a Flat in Putney, London, July 1971, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: Circ.235-1973

The Photographer - Zarina Bhimji, born Mbarara, Uganda, 1963
Zarina Bhimji came to Britain from Uganda aged 11, after Idi Amin's purges of the Asian community there in 1974. She studied photography in London, at Goldsmiths College and the Slade, and has remained in the city.
'I think what I do sometimes is to confuse memory with fantasy. And sometimes the fantasy becomes the memory, and by acting it out or combining the two it becomes something else.' Zarina Bhimji
The Photograph - She Loved to Breathe - Pure Silence, 1987, hand-coloured gelatin-silver prints, Museum Number: PH.7208:1 to 4-1987
'I want to create and communicate new meanings by bringing Indian language, objects, memories, dreams, conversations from East African and Indian backgrounds - as well as my experience of western culture - to play in between two realities. When text is used - that is typeface, hand script, size and texture - it is as carefully considered as the image and treated as a vehicle through which meanings are suggested.' Zarina Bhimji
This series of photographs recalls the immigration procedures for Asian women entering the UK in the 1970s. Bhimji uses them to connect thoughts about divisive legal controls and the place of gender in identity issues. A doctor's glove is captured beneath the Perspex of one of the images. It will gradually deteriorate until perhaps in time it will just be a dusty memory of the original object and the act it symbolises.
Recurring objects in Bhimji's photographic series - shoes, hair or a dead bird - are often abandoned or removed from their rightful place. The presence of these items is both symbolic and metaphoric. Images and texts are printed on to a fabric that 'becomes almost like a skin' and brings the actual work closer to the artist's own sense of identity.
The work is not only about virginity tests. It is a reminder of what life can be outside the gallery walls. The quotations below are from the Guardian.
1/2/79 Immigrant women are subjected to intimate gynaecological examination on entry into Britain.
1/2/79 'He was wearing rubber gloves and took some medicine out of a tube and put it on some cotton and inserted it into me. He said he was deciding whether I was pregnant now or ever had been pregnant before.'
7/2/79 'Since when has virginity become a pre-condition of entry into this country?'
7/2/79 'The tests were a crude way of keeping out Indian immigrants now that the British Government does not need Asian labour any more.'
10/2/79 'How long would these abuses have continued if one woman had not been courageous enough to give evidence needed to pin down rumours which have been current for years?'
10/2/79 Port and High Commission medical officers are shown to be involved in matters of policing which are not written into their public health duties.
23/3/79 The government has admitted a charge that 34 Indian women who wanted to settle in Britain were given virginity tests

Jananne Al-Ani, Unititled, April 1996, gelatin-silver print. Museum Number:E.2291-1997
The Photographer - Jananne Al-Ani, born Kirkuk, Iraq, 1966
Jananne Al-Ani was born in northern Iraq to an Arabic father and an Irish mother. She arrived in Britain in 1980 with her mother and three sisters. Her work is informed by her experience of being a mixed-race woman, growing up in the Middle East and moving to Britain at the age of 13, and by her extremely close relationship with her mother and three sisters. The Gulf War, in 1991, brought her face to face with the issues of her own cultural identity. The concerns that are at the heart of differences between East and West are the ones that interest her and inform her work.
The Photograph - Untitled, April 1996, gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: E.2291-1997
'In this photograph, a portrait of myself, my mother and my three sisters, we are simultaneously revealed and concealed by the veil. This plays on conventional ideas about the relationship of power between the observer and the observed.
I have always photographed my family and in this picture we are seated in order of age starting with the youngest on the right. The picture is one of a pair in which the order of veiling is reversed. Depending on which way the photograph is read, left to right, as with English script, or right to left as with Arabic script, the women are either revealed or concealed by the veil. At the same time, by allowing the lower halves of the sitters to be seen in western clothing, in contrast to the veiled heads, the image is exposed as a set-up.
I have been exploring a number of ideas that have emerged from studying the representations and descriptions of Middle Eastern woman by late 19th and early 20th century European photographers, travellers and writers. I am especially interested in the studio portraits, which range from the ethnographic to the pornographic, and the theatrical use of backdrops, props and costumes in the construction of fantastic tableaux exploring the western fascination with the veil.' Jananne Al-Ani
'Her own contemporary work is an exploration of what one could call a collaborative and mutual gaze, a dialogue, which not only interrogates the past, but also examines the present. She looks closely not only at the ways in which photography has contributed to western notions of 'the other' but also at our contemporary fascination with the meanings and nuances of the photographic image.' Val Williams

Ingrid Pollard, Pastoral Interlude, 1986. Museum Number: E.722-1993
The Photographer - Ingrid Pollard, born Guyana, 1953
'I don't mind being labelled a black photographer, but I do not like people who use labels to ghettoise practitioners. I see myself as a representative of a world majority culture. I may have a fixed idea of my place and identity but this changes depending on the context I am placed in by others. That flux is fascinating and a major concern in my work. However, it is scary at the same time.' Ingrid Pollard
The Photograph - Pastoral Interlude, 1986, hand-tinted gelatin-silver print, Museum Number: E.722-1993
'It's as if the black experience is only lived within an urban environment. I thought I liked the Lake District, where I wandered lonely as a black face in a sea of white. A visit to the countryside is always accompanied by a feeling of unease, dread.' Ingrid Pollard

It's the Holy Grail for every soccer athlete, and now more than ever, American soccer players have been receiving attention from European clubs.
Currently, there are more than 70 Americans playing in various countries in Europe, in all divisions. Some of these players are unknown, some are still struggling for playing time while the veterans are creating a legacy for those hoping to accomplish the same dream.
Among the increase of American pro and youth soccer players trying their luck across the pond, let's not forget those players who proved that Americans can succeed in places like England, Italy, Germany and Spain.
Here is a list of the top U.S. soccer athletes making their mark in Europe.

Before the doors even opened today, people were lined up outside the Windmill Restaurant on Loudon Road in Concord.
As part of an annual tradition dating back 20 years, Windmill owner Louis Smirnioudis gives out free meals for people in need and those with nowhere else to go.
Smirnioudis said this year there have been more people than ever before. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in May and he has undergone two rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. While he was undergoing treatment, the community was very supportive.
He says he owes a lot of gratitude to them and he didn't hesitate when it came time to today's annual Thanksgiving event.
"It never crossed my mind not to do it," Smirnioudis said. He asked his son to carry on the tradition.
All told, about 1,000 people were served.

Detailed Description:
The adrenergic neurotransmission serves multiple functions including learning, emotional processing and stress response to psychological and physical challenges (Huether, 1996; Sved et al., 2001). Adrenergic transmission also mediates drug withdrawal states and stress-induced relapse to drug use (Aston-Jones et al., 2004; Stewart, 2000). Consistent with these preclinical findings, adrenergic blockers showed promise as a treatment of cocaine dependence (Kampman et al., 2001b; Kampman et al., 2006). These preliminary findings are significant because there are no proven pharmacotherapies for cocaine addiction although an estimated 2.3 million of Americans aged 12 or older are regular cocaine users (SAMHSA, 2004). The societal cost of cocaine addiction is estimated to be $45 billion in the US, suggesting that development of even modestly effective cocaine pharmacotherapies will have great economic benefits. For example, availability of a medication decreasing cocaine use by 10 percent is estimated to have $745 million economic benefit in the US alone (Cartwright, 2000). Thus, developing effective treatments for cocaine addiction is an essential goal with significant benefits both for the society and the individual.

Be Careful What You Ask for: The Effect of Anchors on Personal Injury Damages Awards

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, Vol. 6, p. 91, 2000
These studies examined the effects of anchors in the context of personal injury damages awards. In 2 experiments, mock jurors read a case in which the presence and size of the plaintiff's damages request and the defense rebuttal were varied across conditions and then awarded damages. Award size and variability increased as the plaintiff's request increased but decreased with the most extreme request. Conversely, award size and variability decreased as the defense rebuttal decreased but increased with the most extreme rebuttal. In both studies, the award recommendations altered the upper and lower boundaries of awards mock jurors found acceptable but did not affect mock jurors' perception of injury severity. The findings suggest that award recommendations can produce biased and unpredictable awards. From Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2000, Vol. 6, No. 2, 91-103, 2000.

VibraCussor® percussive therapy is an exciting new treatment approach for muscle and ligament problems and related myofascial conditions.
By delivering waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body the VibraCussor® is very effective for releasing muscles, promoting an increase in circulation and lymphatic flow and a decrease in muscle spasm. The VibraCussor® can be used to 'warm-up' muscles and set proper tonus prior to athletic events. The VibraCussor® instrument can also be used following an event, or exercising, to 'flush' muscles and minimize soreness.
The repetitive pumping action of the VibraCussor® is ideal for releasing joints. The power of multiple percussive waves accumulates to loosen up 'stuck' areas without using heavy thrusting forces. Additionally, these waves heighten neurological awareness of specific areas of the body and facilitate energetic normalization.

Global stocks fall as euro crisis saps confidence
Sep 13, 2011, 10:02 p.m.
By Alex Richardson
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian stocks, U.S. index futures and the euro fell on Wednesday as investors remained unconvinced that euro zone leaders have a coherent plan to tackle the bloc's sovereign debt problems, which many fear could trigger a new banking crisis.
Global markets have been roiled since the end of July by the twin fears of renewed recession in the United States and Europe's protracted debt woes, which have seen Greece, Ireland and Portugal forced to take bailouts and piled bond market pressure on Italy and Spain.
"Some of the European banks may have to recapitalize their balance sheets with government assistance. It's creating a lot of nervousness and uncertainty," said Simon Bonouvrie, portfolio manager at Platypus Asset Management in Sydney.
Oil eased after the International Energy Agency revised down its forecast for growth in consumption due to the struggling global economy.
Underlining the brittle state of confidence in global markets, the dollar rose and the yield on 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) fell below 1 percent as demand for assets perceived as safe havens remained high.
Japan's Nikkei share average <.N225> fell 1 percent, while MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan <.MIAPJ0000PUS> dropped 2.3 percent. <.T>
The MSCI index is now nearly 22 percent below its 2011 high reached in April. A decline of 20 percent or more is the rule-of-thumb definition of a bear market.
U.S. index futures traded in Asia fell 1.1 percent.
Wall Street stocks had risen on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 <.SPX> up 0.9 percent, amid hopes that European leaders would take action soon to ease the two-year-old debt crisis. <.N>
Markets had been spooked in recent days by renewed talk among euro zone policymakers of an imminent default by Greece, prompted by the country's failure to meet the fiscal goals set out in its European Union/IMF bailout.
Greek, German and French leaders were due to hold a conference call at 12 p.m. EDT on Wednesday.
"The conference call will at least calm nerves ... and may provide 24 hours of reprieve. That's about it, though," said Sean Callow, a senior currency strategist at Westpac in Sydney.
The euro slipped to around $1.3625 against the dollar, having jumped more than a cent in the previous session on news of the conference call. The single currency tumbled to a seven-month trough of $1.3499 earlier this week.
Confidence in the euro zone was further dented on Tuesday when Italy, where lawmakers vote later on an austerity package at 1800 GMT, was forced to pay the highest interest rates since joining the euro in 1999 to sell 5-year bonds.
Italy is a particular concern because, while Europe's bailout fund can cope with rescuing smaller, peripheral nations, it lacks the financial firepower to save the euro zone's third largest economy.
Europe's woes drove investors to seek shelter in the dollar, which rose 0.5 percent against a basket of major currencies <.DXY>.
The exposure of European banks to sovereign debt has raised fears of a freezing of credit markets in a re-run of the panic that gripped the financial sector after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in late 2008.

Eyeliner aficionado and pants adversary, Taylor Momsen gave concert goers more than an eyeful on Wednesday as she invited topless fans on stage to dance with the rebel teen singer. In Barcelona for her latest The Pretty Reckless tour stop, the 17-year-old proved that she's worlds away from her fame-making preppy 'Gossip Girl' character, Jenny Humphrey.
Forget headbands and high school hierarchy, little J's all grown up. Spotted: Momsen grinding with half-naked fans while belting out the lyrics to her frighteningly mature tunes. The long and lean singer even gave a lucky female fan a lap dance.
The pop world is no stranger to sexualized lyrics and skimpy on-stage garb but from Rihanna to Katy Perry, no one seems to speak sex on stage as much as Momsen -- who's still a year shy of being legal. If Momsen is this scandalous now, we're afraid to see what kind of show she puts on when she actually turns 18.

($150) Ruby-red. Deep cherry and creme de cassis aromas are complicated by cured tobacco, olive, licorice, espresso and minerals, along with a suave floral overtone. Deep, sweet and palate-saturating, offering intense dark berry and cherry flavors and a lovely energizing minerality that builds with air. Delivers serious flavor impact but has a compellingly graceful character, finishing with persistent sweetness and outstanding clarity. Rostaing thinks that this could easily go for 20 years, but "as usual, I'd prefer it younger than that-maybe 10 for me."
