Hillary Clinton and the Gender Card
Hillary Clinton was asked during an interview to respond to Mitch McConnell's charge that she plays the "gender card." Her response was apt, it seemed to me:
Clinton's response — a riposte that the gender card is being played "every time Republicans vote against giving women equal pay, deny families access to affordable child care or family leave, refuse to let women make decisions about their health or have access to free contraception" — was a forthright appeal for women's votes — and the latest signal that, yes, Clinton's gender will be front and center in her campaign this time around.
Eight years ago, her first presidential campaign downplayed any focus on running as a woman. But Democrats say gender is not only a plus this time, but also crucial to Clinton's strategy for winning a general election where she will need to boost the turnout of female voters, who are more likely to vote Democratic.
The campaign followed up on on the Facebook chat Tuesday, releasing a slick video replaying McConnell's remark and then featuring the records of some of the GOP candidates when it comes to issues that affect women: Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz voted against paid sick leave; Gov. Scott Walker repealed an equal pay law in his state; and Jeb Bush made a comment offensive to poor women back in 1994, saying, "women on welfare should get their life together and find a husband."
"There she goes again with the women's issues," Clinton says in a clip featured in the video, pulled from an appearance in Iowa last week. "Well, I'm not going to stop, so get ready for a long campaign."

Feminism is Like Brussels Sprouts
Both are delicious. And good for you.
Slate, When Did Feminism Get So "Sneaky"?
But the moment I recognized the excellence of Brussels Sprouts represented a twofold cause for celebration. Not only was I set up for a lifetime of consuming a nutritious vegetable, but I suddenly had the discernment to enjoy said vegetable. . . . Just so with feminism. Mainstream culture has finally figured out that feminism is delicious, and we should rejoice rather than squint doubtfully into the glorious, gender-equal sunrise.

Title IX for Women Candidates?
Nearly a century after gaining national suffrage rights, American women represent a majority of voters, yet women represent less than a quarter of state legislators, a fifth of members of Congress, and an eighth of governors.
A careful examination of the trends at the local and state level reveals that unequal representation is even worse than it looks. My group Representation 2020 seeks parity for women in elected office—meaning that at any given moment a woman would be just as likely as a man to hold elected office—in our lifetimes. Yet, as to be reported in our State of Women's Representation 2015-2016 report, women in fact are not on the road to achieving that goal.
A report by the Institute for Women's Policy Research suggested achieving parity would take several generations. But it's too simplistic to map out trends from the past 20 years in anticipation of steady growth to parity. In the real world, representation of women typically stalls or regresses once it surpasses about a third of seats in a state. Unless both major parties show equal readiness to move to parity—and at this point, the Republican Party shows no such trend—the bottom line is stark: Absent new intervention by our political parties and our lawmakers, we simply won't achieve gender parity nationally nor in most states. Not in our lifetime. Not in our children's lifetime. Not ever.

Bad Feminist
The Feminist Legal Theory CRN group at the upcoming Law & Society is reading Roxane Gay's, Bad Feminist (http://www.roxanegay.com/bad-feminist/).
I just finished reading the book myself. I had read excerpts and reviews, but not the book until now. Really great. She's a professor, a writer, and a "bad" feminist - defined as a real, human, imperfect person who nevertheless believes in core principles of gender equality and the identification of such as "feminist." Refreshing, irreverent. Just keeping it real.

"A Professor Finds Gender Bias on Wall Street"
From the WSJ:
Men and women have different experiences when it comes to Wall Street careers. And those differences fascinate Lily Fang.
Dr. Fang, an associate professor of finance on the Singapore campus of the business school Insead, has spent the past five years or so delving into how gender affects the career-development paths of stock-research analysts on Wall Street. What she and co-author Sterling Huang of Singapore Management University found was that the networking and personal connections that male analysts rely on so heavily to get ahead are much less useful for women in similar jobs.

New Book Asserts "Women are superior in most ways that matter now"
Melvin Konner, The End of Male Supremacy, Chronicle of Higher Ed.
Provocative thesis:
Women are not equal to men; they are superior in many ways, and in most ways that will count in the future. It is not just a matter of culture or upbringing. It is a matter of chromosomes, genes, hormones, and nerve circuits. It is not mainly because of how experience shapes women, but because of intrinsic differences in the body and the brain.
Do these differences account for all the ways women and men differ? No. Are all men one way and all women another? Also no. But none of those considerations seriously impede my argument or deflect its key conclusion: Women are superior in most ways that matter now.
And no, I do not mean what was meant by patronizing men who said this in the past — that women are lofty, tender, spiritual creatures. I mean something like the opposite of that. I mean that women are fundamentally pragmatic as well as caring, cooperative as well as competitive, skilled in getting their own egos out of the way, deft in managing people without putting them on the defensive, builders not destroyers. Above all, I mean that women can carry on the business of a complex world in ways that are more focused, efficient, deliberate, and constructive than men's because women are not frequently distracted by impulses and moods that, sometimes indirectly, lead to sex and violence. Women are more reluctant participants in both. And if they are drawn into wars, these will be wars of necessity, not of choice, founded on rational considerations, not on a clash of egos escalating out of control.
Interesting use of Elizabeth Cady Stanton here too.
This is not a new idea. Elizabeth Cady Stanton gave an address to the National Woman Suffrage Convention in Washington, D.C., on January 19, 1869. She said, "The same arguments made in this country for extending suffrage … to white men, native born citizens, without property and education, and to foreigners … and the same used by the great Republican party to enfranchise a million black men in the South, all these arguments we have to-day to offer for woman, and one, in addition, stronger than all besides, the difference in man and woman. Because man and woman are the complement of one another, we need woman's thought in national affairs to make a safe and stable government."
She also said, "When the highest offices in the gift of the people are bought and sold in Wall Street, it is a mere chance who will be our rulers. Whither is a nation tending when brains count for less than bullion, and clowns make laws for queens?" Almost 150 years later, the highest offices are still bought and sold on Wall Street, and clowns make laws for queens. But the latter, at least, is coming to an end.
Yet notice: What additional argument for women's equality is "stronger than all besides"? "The difference in man and woman." Men and women complement each other. After a century and a half of research, Stanton's argument from difference is stronger than ever, grounded in evolution, brain science, child psychology, and anthropology. And we can take it a step further
I discuss Stanton's feminist theory of difference in the context of parenting and property rights in my forthcoming book. But her feminism was more complex than this one speech suggests. She believed in equality, difference, as well as radical feminism, as all were part of the web of women's oppression.

"You hold women in contempt": Frat culture isn't an aberration, it's everything men learn about being a "real man"
...thus reads the headline from Salon:
There are a lot of stories out there right now about frat culture, which is maybe why I find myself circling back to bigger questions about masculinity. Or at least the version of masculinity on display in some of these fraternities.
Read the rest here.

A Guide to Feminist Pedagogy
Vanderbilt, A Guide to Feminist Pedagogy
Feminist pedagogy is not a toolbox, a collection of strategies, a list of practices, or a specific classroom arrangement. It is an overarching philosophy—a theory of teaching and learning that integrates feminist values with related theories and research on teaching and learning.
It begins with our beliefs and motivations: why do we teach? why do students learn? what are the goals of learning? We know that the consequences of our motives for teaching and learning are significant: Keith Trigwell and Mike Prosser have shown that the instructor's intentions in teaching ("why the person adopts a particular strategy") have a greater impact on student learning than the instructor's actual strategies for teaching ("what the person does") (78). Their research has shown that approaches to teaching that are purposefully focused on the students and aimed at changing conceptual frameworks lead to deeper learning practices than teacher-centered, information-driven approaches (Trigwell 98). The implications are that the instructor's fundamental beliefs and values about teaching, learning, and knowledge-making matter.
In this guide, we explain some of the fundamental beliefs, values, and intentions behind feminist pedagogy to inform a deliberate application in specific classrooms–any and all classrooms, as feminist pedagogy can inform any disciplinary context. (For a more focused exploration of feminist pedagogy specifically within the women's studies classroom, see Holly Hassel and Nerissa Nelson's "A Signature Feminist Pedagogy: Connection and Transformation in Women's Studies.")

Sweden Introduces Gender-Neutral Pronoun
The official dictionary of the Swedish language will introduce a gender-neutral pronoun in April, editors at the Swedish Academy have announced.
"Hen" will be added to "han" (he) and "hon" (she) as one of 13,000 new words in the latest edition of the Swedish Academy's SAOL.
The pronoun is used to refer to a person without revealing their gender – either because it is unknown, because the person is transgender, or the speaker or writer deems the gender to be superfluous information.
"For those who use the pronoun, it's obviously a strength that it is now in the dictionary," one of the editors, Sture Berg, told AFP on Tuesday.

Gender Neutral Shoes
As mainstream understandings of bodies and identity evolve and change, it's only fitting that industries, such as fashion, evolve too.
That's the case with NiK Kacy, one of the first luxury footwear brands to describe their product as gender-neutral. At HuffPost Gay Voices we've been documenting the shifting nature of queerness within the fashion world through our series"FABRICATIONS: Emerging Queer Faces of Fashion Design." The NiK Kacy brand is certainly emblematic of this shift and an exciting prospect for bodies existing outside of binary understandings of gender.
NiK Kacy is currently engaged in a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund the brand's first line. The Huffington Post chatted with Kacy this week about their vision for this footwear line, as well as its cultural significance.

Wesleyan University has created a special dorm that is meant to house the LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM crowd. From the school website:
Open House is a safe space for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Flexual, Asexual, Genderfuck, Polyamourous, Bondage/Disciple, Dominance/Submission, Sadism/Masochism (LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM) communities and for people of sexually or gender dissident communities. The goals of Open House include generating interest in a celebration of queer life from the social to the political to the academic. Open House works to create a Wesleyan community that appreciates the variety and vivacity of gender, sex and sexuality.
I must say that I am ambivalent about this. Is this a good thing for the students in the dorm? To segregate themselves so completely like this from the rest of the school? So too I find disturbing the notion that all these quite different groups would naturally share a desire to live together, simply because they are sexually marginalized in society.....

A Different Hillary Clinton This Time
As she prepares for her presidential bid, Hillary Clinton intends to serve up a different campaign message than last time:
But rather than the assertive feminism associated with her years as first lady, Mrs. Clinton's campaign message will be subtler. It will involve frequent references to being a mother and grandmother and to how her family has inspired her to embrace policies that she believes would help middle-class families.
As one Democrat close to her put it, voters have learned that she is tough; now she can also present herself as a sensitive candidate capable of nurturing the nation at a difficult time.

"Girl, 11, demands DC Comics to feature more female superheroes – so they draw her as one"
Cute story from the Independent UK:
"Please do something about this, girls read comics too and they care," the 11-year-old from Champaign, Illinois, added according to NBC's Today show.
A DC Comics artist drew Rowan as a superhero complete with her blonde bob hairstyle and spectacles with a burgundy and yellow outfit to help her fly over a dandelion field.
Previously, they sent out tweets saying that they're "working hard to create more superhero fun for girls" but she had said that, even though she appreciated the responses, her quest to see more girl characters was not over.
"It was really, really cool, because they're so big and important people," she said of the tweets.
"But I thought 'I don't want people to think, "Oh, yeah, OK, they responded to her. Now it's over." I want people to keep trying to make this happen, because it's really important to me."
Her parents Jim Hansen and Renee Trilling said that Rowan has been aware of gender inequality for years.

The US Feminist Judgments Project
The US Feminist Judgments Projects Website
What would United States Supreme Court opinions look like–and what would their influence be–if key decisions on gender issues were written with a feminist perspective? The US Feminist Judgments Project seeks to answer these questions by pulling together a group of leading feminist legal scholars in the United States to rewrite, using feminist reasoning, the most significant Supreme Court cases on gender from the 1800s all the way to the present day.
Editors Linda Berger (UNLV), Bridget Crawford (Pace) and Kathy Stanchi (Temple), along with an Advisory Panel of diverse and distinguished scholars, targeted 24 influential Supreme Court cases related to gender for feminist revision. Those 24 rewritten opinions, along with introductory commentary explaining the issues and context of the decision, will be published by Cambridge University Press in a volume entitled Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Opinions of the United States Supreme Court. You can see the final list of cases, as well as the authors of the rewritten opinions and commentaries, here.
The US Feminist Judgments Project was inspired by the successful collection and publication in Britain of Feminist Judgments: From Theory to Practice, by Rosemary Hunter, Clare McGlynn, and Erika Rackley. This volume, which included feminist versions of twenty-three key British decisions from the Court of Appeal and House of Lords, was published in 2010 to wide acclaim.
Like its British counterpart, the US Feminist Judgments Project seeks to illustrate how decision-makers with feminist viewpoints could have arrived at different decisions using different reasoning in critical Supreme Court cases despite the restrictions of stare decisis. The rewritten decisions are framed within the same precedent that bound the Supreme Court at the time of the opinion, but bring to the decision making and the opinion writing a feminist perspective on the facts and the law. The rewritten decisions show not only how feminist theory can apply to real-world judgments, but also the ways that stare decisions can mask the law's masculine perspective and bias. In this way, the volume will help uncover the manner in which hidden and often-unrecognized gender bias drives the results and the reasoning in much of our jurisprudence.

Can Gender Diversity Reduce Corporate Fraud?
This study suggests so. The abstract available on SSRN:
We formulate theory on the effect of board of director gender diversity on the broad spectrum of securities fraud and generate three main insights. First, based on ethicality, risk aversion, and diversity, we hypothesize that gender diversity on boards can operate as a significant moderator for the frequency of fraud. Second, we hypothesize that the stock market response to fraud from a more gender-diverse board is significantly less pronounced. Third, we hypothesize that women are more effective in male-dominated industries in reducing both the frequency and severity of fraud. Our first-ever empirical tests, based on data from a large sample of Chinese firms that committed securities fraud, are largely consistent with each of these hypotheses.

One word gender-neutral pronoun?
For those now considering commenting to suggest that there's a perfectly fine existing neutral pronoun – "they" – remember that pronouns must match both gender and number. So in the case of single individuals, it's grammatically inaccurate.
And for those complaining this is a "PC gone mad" linguistic ambush by the modern trans lobby, this fascinating blog by Dennis Baron charts more than 100 (failed) attempts over 150 years to coin a gender-neutral singular pronoun. The elusive term – still not agreed upon – has been labelled the 'hermaphrodite pronoun', the 'bipersonal pronoun' and the 'unisex pronoun.'

A West Hollywood law requiring all single-stall restrooms in businesses and public places to be gender-neutral will go into effect this week.
The law, which will have no impact on multiple-stall restrooms, mandates that any facility designed for use by no more than one person not be restricted to a specific sex or gender identity by signage, design or installation of fixtures.

McJunkin on "Rank Among Equals"
Ben A. McJunkin has recently uploaded on SSRN "Rank Among Equals," which is forthcoming from the Michigan Law Review. The abstract reads:
Dignity is on the march. As illustrated by Justice Kennedy's recent majority opinion in United States v. Windsor, the concept — once seen as exclusive to moral philosophy — has taken on increasing importance in the legal realm, particularly in the recognition of individual human rights. Jeremy Waldron's recent book, Dignity, Rank, and Rights, offers a profound and provocative take on dignity's newfound centrality to law. Waldron contends that dignity currently operates as a universal legal status that entails individual rights. He suggests that this development reflects the gradual democratization of aristocratic privilege — a kind of "leveling up" of humanity.
This Review disentangles and separately examines the two core accounts of dignity in Waldron's work. The first, which purports to identify the nature of contemporary legal dignity as a form of status, appears to be promising step toward better understanding the role dignity plays in law. The second, Waldron's historical account of dignity's development that offers up something like an origin story for our contemporary conceptions, is more troubling. Borrowing from feminist theory and queer theory, as well as from the equality projects to which they are allied, I contend that Waldron's narratives of extending aristocratic privilege threaten to entrench inequality and injustice while limiting the potential for marginalized groups to employ dignity as a deeply remedial legal tool. I urge Waldron to revisit dignity's expressive connection to human worth, which has proven central to dignity-based antidiscrimination and antisubordination projects.

Is Using "Woman" as an Adjective Demeaning?
Political-correctness 101 dictates that we should avoid gendered versions of job titles: We're meant to use "server" instead of "waitress", "actor" for women as well as men. (Thank God the nineteenth-century "doctoress" never caught on.) But sometimes, for valid and non-sexist reasons—like talking about the wage gap—writers need to identify a group of professionals by their gender. Writers who are keen not to offend face a conundrum. "Female" seems like a safe descriptor—"female boss," "female lawyer," etc.—but some complain it's too "clinical." "Lady" has made something of a come-back as a sort of retro descriptor—"Lady journo," "lady blog"—but sounds condescending outside of a specific, ironic context. In The Guardian last week, sub-editor Maddie York points out that another word is catching on as an adjective: "woman." According to York, "'Woman' and its plural seem to be taking over the role of modifier, so that now, there is no such thing, as far as much of the media is concerned, as a female doctor, a female MP or a female chef. Instead you hear or read about a woman doctor, a woman MP and so on."
This is definitely an overstatement, but she has a point: When I started looking for it, I found that the opposite of "male boss" is often not "female boss" but "woman boss." The BBC contrasts "women managers" with "male" ones. And the Harvard Business Review says: "Only 16% of Republicans prefer a woman boss … young people (18 to 34) are more likely to want a male boss."

Tough, brutal and utterly compelling, The Fist of the Reich tells the story of one man's fight for survival against the might of the Third Reich. A world champion boxer during the 1930s, Max Schmeling became a symbol of German strength and superiority. But due to his outspoken views he soon lost favour with those in power and was forced to throw off his gloves and don a Nazi uniform. Now he would not only have to fight the enemy but also the battle within as he struggled to maintain his honour in a world fraught with peril. Fearless, uncompromising and forthright to the last, Max Schmeling would seize destiny in his own hands and prove himself to be one of World War II's most surprising yet glorious heroes.

Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) announced a mixed set of Q2 2012 results last week. Overall revenues grew 8% year-over-year on a robust 14% growth in the government business, but enterprise played the spoilsport with a 2% decline. While a part of that decline was due to an anticipated drop in the iDEN business, macroeconomic concerns surrounding the European debt crisis as well as a stronger dollar also weighed on enterprise revenues. Strong government revenues however caused Motorola to revise its revenue outlook for the year from approximately 5% to 5-6% y-o-y growth.
In line with the outlook revision, we have a revised $51 price estimate for Motorola's stock, about 8% ahead of the current market price.

- A Look At Motorola Solutions' Position As A U.S. Government Contractor
Government business holding up
While Q1 and Q2 were very strong for Motorola's government business with y-o-y growth rates in excess of 10% for both quarters, management gave subdued guidance for the rest of the year. Motorola said that it expects full year growth for government revenues to be in the upper single digits, implying that the back half of the year would be unusually slow. The cautious guidance points to the highly uncertain macro environment with revenues under the constant threat of government budgetary cutbacks if the Euro crisis worsens.
Government spending cuts could have a big impact on Motorola, considering that such revenues account for about two-thirds of its overall sales. However, Motorola's government customers buy equipment such as two-way radios and other devices that are used in mission-critical public safety situations. The critical nature of public safety causes it to figure high among government priorities; hence its revenues tied to public safety spending have hardly seen any impact so far. In fact, 3% of the 14% growth in government revenues was due to an increase in public safety spending in the U.S. on infrastructure upgrades necessitated by a switch to a more efficient spectrum (narrow-banding) mandated by the FCC. Even in Europe, Motorola's government business has held up pretty well.
On the other hand, enterprises have proved to be more susceptible to spending cuts across their business verticals. Management said that the enterprise sector is being impacted by the tough macro-economic environment in Europe. This is one of the primary reasons that Motorola now expects enterprise revenues for the year to be relatively flat.
Key growth avenues in the future
Motorola has been focusing on increasing its market share within the enterprise segment through important acquisitions such as Rhomobile last year and the more recently announced Psion. The company has already leveraged its Rhomobile acquisition to launch an application framework targeted at enterprise developers and promote sales of its rugged handheld devices. The Psion purchase will help it expand globally and strengthen its mobile computing portfolio. We see Motorola's enterprise focus helping it tide over near-term macroeconomic concerns while preparing itself for the high future demand for enterprise mobile computing devices.
As for government revenues, we see the adoption of LTE for public safety along with the broader trend of analog-to-digital shift, not only in the U.S. but also internationally, as the key drivers of Motorola's value. U.S. public safety spending in the coming years will be bolstered by a job creation bill passed in February that reallocated the D Block spectrum for public safety use and provided a funding of $7 billion to build out a nationwide network over the next 8 years. Motorola is likely to benefit hugely from the higher stickiness of its government customers as well as its strong market position and large installed base of security devices to grab a big chunk of that pie going forward.

Spoilt the weekend. Do not recommend.
No hot water.
No plugs in the sinks Rubbish outside which as it rained all night was bouncing off the litter and kept us awake all night. I picked up my cup of tea off the floor and it had chewing gum stuck to the bottom. How they can put human beings in there, looking for a nice weekend away, and charge them for it I don't know. Feeling very annoyed and ripped off!

Among these, the most famous is Pfizer's Viagra, widely described as one of the most counterfeited drugs in the world.

MSO Pops delivers a Gershwin treat
Style, elegance, foot-tapping rhythms and soaring melodies filled Uihlein Hall on Friday evening, thanks to a particularly fine Milwaukee Symphony Pops concert.
The orchestra, under the baton of guest conductor Jeff Tyzik, presented an evening of George Gershwin. It avoided the most often heard of Gershwin's pieces, in favor of lesser-known works, capping the evening with concert excerpts from his quintessentially American opera, "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article

1934 Tasting Notes
Sometimes the sipdown is the best cup because you have just (—) that many extra leaves so you just drop them in since they won't make another full cup——and the result is richer and deeper and better than the rest.
Happened here. Thick, dark, caramel-chocolate. Think unsweet bakers chocolate, not Hershey Bar. Good stuff.
Be amazed: we did a frivolous and delicious autumn run to NW Arkansas yesterday (primarily Eureka Springs for those of you familiar with the geography), stopped at Savoy on the way home, and I restrained myself to two small packets of tea. This was one of 'em, because I know of no other source for a similar orangey, almondy, cookie-y green tea. This is gooood!
I associate green tea with focus and clarity; need lots. The closest I come these days to algebra and geometry is figuring out the composition of a teacher resource pack: you get X units of Y kind of paper (three different weights) and you have to leave Z units unbespoken for required items, so what's left is like trying to fit 9 shoes in 4 shoeboxes without the lid coming off….oh, my hurtin' head….
We skipped the Eureka Springs trip this year. I was happy with where we went, but I still missed that autumn drive to Arkansas. Maybe I can talk Mom into it in a couple of weeks if the weather holds…
The drive was the best part. We got off 49 at Bella Vista and took little 2-lane back roads the rest of the way.
I love Eureka Springs, but the winding roads between here and there make me crazy. Glad to hear you made it with your sanity intact.
You do know that Misty Meadows is Mistletoe renamed, right?
I classified this one as "unknown" the other day because I hadn't yet verified the vendor—but this is it.
This is a satiny white tea you can taste. The blenders are pleasantly light-handed on the chai spices, which give it a great October-evening personality, but don't overwhelm the light tea.
For my Steepie buddies that love subtlety in their cups, this would be a great fit.
Dark burgundy steep; deep autumn fruit sensation on the tongue. Single Origin, this is ex0.c3222222222222222222222222222222222 (that's excellent in cat typing).
Predictable cookie goodness, but (sadness) the cool color-changing finish on my Dr. Who mug is starting to wear at the edges and it feels funny when I sip.
It's a texture thing.
I just saw this at the grocery store about 10 minutes ago, I almost picked it up. However, I need to stop buying so much bagged tea. I'm getting lazy and haven't ordered any in several months, my attitude is suffering because of it!
This one is still too tart on its own for this hibiscus hater, but a little maple syrup takes off the edge and turns summery tea into autumny dessert.
Seen any on your shelves yet? Not here either, but some bags left over from last season. Perfect after a nippy walk to our little handkerchief-sized park and back, enjoying the fall decorations. (One of my favorites is the giant eyeball-on-a-stick somebody mounted in their potted plant. Just like Seymour :)
Another unmarked baggie, but we'll presume it was this one; same work friend has shared some other Remedy Teas with me.
A tea fail morning. Couldn't get the eyes open, family talking to and over me while getting ready, so I let this go so long that not even a sploosh of half-and-half could counteract the bitterness. User error, not tea quality.
There is some good berry potential in here; it'll just have to wait for a morning when better attention can be paid.
This was delivered to me in a baggie from a work friend, so I'm not sure about brand. I'll check and correct if I discover the source. (Do y'all get teased by coworkers about trafficking in contraband?)
Leaves are big as the elm leaves starting to sprinkle around on the lawn. Let it go about 3:30; the finished product is deep golden blonde. The scent of cloves and cardamom is medium; the taste of them is mild. Light and pleasant without sweetener, but a little honey or brown sugar would turn it into sugar cookies.

PARIS — Ghost is making another fragrance apparition.
This story first appeared in the May 9, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
This month, the British clothier and its beauty license, Cosmopolitan Cosmetics, will introduce Ghost Serenity globally.
The new scent can add critical mass to Ghost's olfactive assortment — which also includes Ghost The Fragrance and Ghost Deep Night fragrances — and therefore can increase the brand's notoriety outside of the U.K., said Marine Gaertner, marketing manager for France at Cosmopolitan Cosmetics, Wella AG's cosmetics and fragrance arm.
Ghost Serenity is positioned to offer a moment of calm in today's frenetic world.
"It's a sensual fragrance [that encourages] harmony of the heart, body and spirit with gentle enveloping notes," said Gaertner.
The scent's juice, concocted by Robertet's Michel Almairac, features top notes of bergamot, coriander and green leaves. At its heart are peony, lily of the valley and tea, while base notes include white musk, Tonka beans, amber and moss.
Ghost Serenity comes in a rounded flacon that sits on three small prongs that are meant to symbolize balance, according to Gaertner. The bottle was designed by Franzrudolf Lehnert.
The fragrance's advertising campaign, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, features model Kirsty Hume in a gauzy Ghost outfit. In France, the ads will appear primarily in trade press and stores. Elsewhere, it could run in consumer publications, said Gaertner.
A sampling campaign will include 1.7-ml. vials and 5-ml. miniatures.
Industry sources estimate Ghost Serenity could ring up $991,500 in wholesale volume in France from May through December.
The eau de toilette spray will come in 30-, 50- and 100-ml. bottles selling for $32, $46 and $68, respectively. Ancillaries include a 250-ml. shower gel and a 250-ml. moisturizing lotion for $22 and $27.50.
Dollar prices have been converted from the euro at current exchange rates and are for France.

Elton Ford received good news recently when he learned that NC State was offering him a scholarship. The offer propelled the Wolfpack to the top of his list, but don't count out Wake Forest just yet.
The 6-foot-0, 200 pound safety from Lithonia, Georgia said NC State is his leader, but that might not be the case if Wake Forest offers him down the road.
"I actually talked to Wake a couple of days ago," Ford said. "They basically told me that they would have offered me and that they want to, but they thought my test scores were a little low. I'm taking it in December so if I do well then they might offer me."
An offer from Wake Forest would certainly change Ford's recruiting picture. "I think [it would change it,]" he said. "Wake Forest is definitely a school I would consider. Their quarterbacks coach has been recruiting me and they've got a good team. It's a good school too."
In addition to NC State, Middle Tennessee has offered Ford a scholarship. He also noted that an offer from Louisville may be on the horizon.
Ford believes that each of those schools sees that he's an aggressive football player. "I've just got a nose for the football," he explained. "I'm an aggressive playmaker. I've already got 60 tackles and two interceptions, so I lead the team in both. I'm good against the run and against the pass."

At the tender age of 18, Rose McIver can already look back on a career spanning 16 years. She appeared in a commercial when she was two, The Piano when she was three and Hercules when she was four. It might say something about the New Zealand television industry that she has hardly done any theatre work, but in between a normal school life she has performed in everything from Topless Women Talk About Their Lives to the lead role in the TV3 series Maddigan's Quest. She is now starring as Constance in her first grown-up drama, Rude Awakenings.
What's your earliest memory of performing? I remember doing Hercules when I was four. That was one of my earliest memories because it was my first experience of getting into a character, it wasn't a commercial. I was playing the Hydra, the monster, with special effects, so that was pretty exciting. The monster came out of the ground as I went under. I remember that pretty vividly. Actually, The Piano was one of my earliest memories: I was about three and I was an angel in the school production and I desperately needed to go to the toilet and they said, "Keep it, it looks really real", but I was like full-on hobbling around the stage.
You've just been filming a Disney movie here – how do you like putting on an American accent? Not too bad. When I was Hercules's daughter, my brother was Hercules's son, so we had to learn an American accent.
Quite a dramatic family. Sort of. My mum's an artist and my dad's a photographer.
Sounds like stage-mother syndrome. My mum didn't even want us to … I wasn't allowed to take more than a week off school at a time if I ever did it. She made me plan around school, because I had a lot of other interests that I was still thinking about and Mum totally didn't want me to. My brother decided he wasn't interested at about 10 and he stopped going to auditions and she was relieved. The past couple of years I've done bigger jobs, but I've pretty much only done episodic things before then, or short films. We didn't want to have to do the home-schooling thing, which is why I did short jobs. I loved school.
Do you have a drama teacher or mentor who inspired you? At Avondale we had Ms Nelson, Alison Nelson, she was fantastic. I took drama from fifth form, I think it was. We had our school shows and stuff. I'd never done theatre, I'd done one amateur play and a couple of media films, so she was really good. I learnt a whole lot of craft from her because I'd love to do theatre, but I don't know anything yet.
It's amazing that you can go into film and television, bypassing theatre. I went to see a play at the Silo the other night and it just gave me a kick: "I want to do theatre, I want to do theatre!"
So Maddigan's Quest was your first long-term job? It was four months over the summer and that was so much fun. Learning circus skills, learning tightrope and juggling was incredible. I kept thinking how lucky I was with this recent job, learning surfing and dirtboarding.
Do you sing as well? I'd love to do musicals, so I'm thinking of going back to study dance again this year. I used to do ballet and jazz, so I'm thinking of doing that again.
Now you're doing Rude Awakenings. That's quite a leap from children's drama. I guess because there were so many factors that were different. It wasn't just an adult drama and as I'm playing a pretty complex character, it definitely felt like a dramatically different thing to work on. Constance is manipulative and there was so much to her that I could sink my teeth into. I've been lucky with a few roles, I've been able to play somebody different or somebody strong, but especially when you're 12 or 13, you're playing somebody's daughter, you know. It was quite exciting playing Constance, with her own storyline and her own things happening.
There's been an inevitable comparison between Constance and the Loretta West character in Outrageous Fortune. Were you aware of that? I knew they would be compared. I hope we show a progression. I think she's entirely different in where her storyline goes, the kind of person she is, the reasons she does things. I don't think Constance is a bad person, but she can be perceived as something besides the hero or just good. It's nice to play someone that people are going to dislike or something's going to happen to them.
We're still slightly stunned by the hair and glasses for Rude Awakenings. It was cut, it was coloured, it was the real deal. I didn't wig it, it was a dramatic change. It was cool, something different.
This is the second time you've worked with Danielle Cormack? No, about the fourth or fifth time. I did Maiden Voyage, I did Topless Women Talk About Their Lives.
You've been in everything! Not really!
Is it funny to see yourself growing up on screen? It's just a flash or an episode. My dad's a photographer, so the idea of cameras doesn't upset me. We've always had lots of family photos, lots of albums, lots of images, so I don't freak out when I see myself on screen. I've never felt like I've grown up on screen, I've never been recognised. Maybe there have been people at school who say, "I saw you on that show", but I've never been stopped or anything.

Oklahoma State will join a number of Big 12 teams playing a neutral site game in 2013
While there aren't as many marquee games as last week, we have several intriguing matchups to look forward to this weekend. Saturday features four games between ranked opponents, including one top 10 game in the SEC. Additionally, 14 of the 22 ranked teams in action this weekend are playing road or neutral-site games. So this could be another weekend to be on upset alert.
Here is what to watch for this week in the top 25.
TCU quarterback Casey Pachall has been suspended indefinitely after he was arrested early Thursday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
While last week gave us a number of exciting games (West Virginia/Baylor shootout, Texas' controversial last-minute touchdown to beat Oklahoma State, Nebraska's comeback win over Wisconsin, etc.), it was lacking in marquee games between ranked teams or conference rivals. But this week will make up for it in a big way with five games between ranked teams, including not one but two Top Ten matchups in the SEC.
Here are all the highlights from this week in the Top 25.
After a Saturday full of big games and big upsets last weekend, things look to be a little calmer this week with a handful of ranked teams on byes and only two games between ranked teams. However, for most schools, this week marks the first games of conference play so there is still a lot on the line.
