Darwin: Jul 22, 2014
Manoj Tiwary and Manish Pandey missed out on three-figure marks but their contrasting innings were enough to guide India 'A' to a comprehensive 70-run win over South Africa 'A' in the second match of the quadrangular series.
Tiwary blazed his way to a 73-ball 93 while Manish Pandey scored 91 off 108 balls as India 'A' piled up a commendable 326 for seven in 50 overs. In reply, medium fast bowler Dhawal Kulkarni ran through the middle-order claiming five for 54 as Proteas 'A' were all out for 256 in 47.1 overs.
Tiwary and Pandey added 124 runs for the third wicket to lay the foundation for a big score. The Bengal batsman faced 73 balls hitting nine fours and a six while Pandey dropped anchor during his 108 ball innings that had seven fours and a six. It was left to Ambati Rayudu (32 off 20) and Sanju Samson (24 off 13 balls) to take the score past 325 run mark.
Earlier, opting to bat, skipper Robin Uthappa (2) departed early as he offered a catch to Vaughn van jaarsveld off the bowling of right-arm seamer Kagiso Rabada. Former India Under-19 captain Unmukt Chand (47) then joined forces with Pandey but the duo failed to score at a quick clip during their 84-run second wicket partnership.
Chand hit three fours and two sixes in his 62-ball innings. Chand perished playing rank bad shot as he was caught by Rilee Russouw in the deep giving off-break bowler Simon Harmer his only wicket. While South Africa scored 54 runs for the opening stand, the South Africans were never in the match as they lost wickets at regular intervals.
Kulkarni bowled to a good channel as he got movement off the pitch. Off-spinner Parveez Rasool (2/48) was instrumental in providing the initial breakthrough. Reeza Hendricks (52) was the top scorer for the South Africans.
Brief scores:
India 'A' 326 for 7 in 50 overs (Manish Pandey 91, Manoj Tiwary 93, Ambati Rayudu 32; Marchant de Lange 5 for 64) beat South Africa 'A' 256 in 47.1 overs (Reeza Hendricks 52; Dhawal Kulkarni 5 for 54, Parveez Rasool 2 for 48) by 70 runs.

Hat tip to Sea of Blue which points us in the direction of this photo feature from Sports 247 which focuses on the top five uncommitted Class of 2014 prospects left in Ohio.
Kentucky is recruiting three of the five — Marshon Lattimore, a cornerback out of Cleveland; Erick Smith, a safety out of Cleveland; Daniel Cage, a defensive tackle out of Cincinnati and Nick Richardson, an offensive lineman out of Westerville.
In fact, the feature says that Kentucky is the odds-on favorite for Richardson, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound three-star offensive lineman.
Lattimore, a 6-foot, 175-pounder, is rated the best overall prospect in the state of Ohio by Sports 247.

A ball involves the pain of flight,
Falling is always a fact, a bright future.
One calls the suffering for actions,
But no bouncing of weapons happened.
If a ball has bounced due to irritation,
Let the fall be witnessed by some who play.
The sport is proud of a day that delights,
Anybody who is an enemy is too much.
Balloons catch flight, but the bubbles float,
And the balls of big size reduce their size.

The PJs is an American stop-motion animated television series, created by Eddie Murphy, Larry Wilmore, and Steve Tompkins. It portrayed life in an urban public housing project, modeled after the Cabrini–Green housing projects in Chicago.[1] The series starred Eddie Murphy, and was produced by Imagine Entertainment by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, The Murphy Company and Will Vinton Studios in association with Touchstone Television.
The original run of the series debuted on Fox on Sunday, January 10, 1999 following the network's coverage of the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Two days later, the second episode aired in its regular Tuesday night time slot, following King of the Hill.[2]
43 episodes aired during the show's 3-year run. Each took over 2 months to produce, owing to the laborious stop-motion process. After 2 seasons on Fox, the show moved to The WB in 2000. Its high budget and declining ratings led to its cancellation in 2001; the final 2 episodes weren't aired until 2003. The show aired in syndication for a time on Trio and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, and now can be seen on TV One, Fuse and MTV2.
The PJs won 3 Emmy Awards and one Annie Award during its run. Some social activists (including director Spike Lee) accused the show of depicting negative racial stereotypes of life in the projects.[3] Quincy Jones' son QD3, along with George Clinton, produced the theme music for the show.
Main characters[edit]
- Thurgood Orenthal Stubbs (also known as The Super or simply Super) (Eddie Murphy later voiced by Phil Morris) - the superintendent of the Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs projects and the main protagonist. Thurgood is short-tempered, impatient, not very bright, and suffers from a variety of health issues. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, and brown shoes. He also has salt and pepper hair worn in a tall style akin to Don King. Thurgood originally had a black afro, but an accident on his wedding day transformed his hairstyle to its current state. Thurgood is terrified of black rats, as revealed in "Fear of a Black Rat." Much of the show's humor is derived from Thurgood's unwillingness to repair the dilapidated projects or deal with the many frustrations of leading a community of the urban poor. Despite his laughably poor education, he is shown to be kind and a natural leader when the situation calls for it. His diet is another source of humor, as he prefers fried foods, red meat, and Forties, which is the likely cause of his big belly and other health issues he complains of such as angina. Thurgood throughout the series has used a variety of interjections in reference to African-American icons. Such interjections are "What on Eartha Kitt?", or "Mother Marion Barry!".
Thurgood also makes a background appearance in The Simpsons episode "Missionary Impossible" as a telethon volunteer along with characters of other Fox TV shows. In tribute to that, an episode of the PJs featured Futurama character Philip Fry on a missing person poster. - Muriel Stubbs (née Warren) (Loretta Devine) - Thurgood's wife and the voice of reason. She wears a pink sweatsuit with the word "Paris" on it (which she got on a trip to Paris with Don King) and light pink shoes. Muriel has a sister named Bebe Ho who is married to another tenant. Muriel and Bebe were likely raised in Alabama during the era of school desegregation, as evidenced by Muriel's having met her state's governor when she attended an all-white high school. However, Muriel attests that the only reason she got to meet the governor was because he was blocking the school door.
Other main characters[edit]
- Florence Normandy Avery (Mrs. Avery) (Ja'net Dubois) - a senior citizen who antagonizes Thurgood throughout the series. She, like the other tenants, hates him with a passion because he never fixes her run-down apartment. A retired con artist, Mrs. Avery often tells random and inappropriate stories of her past as a grifter. She suffers from numerous ailments and has had multiple strokes. She keeps a loaded shotgun with her named "Mrs. Jones", which she used to shoot Thurgood, the garbage man, the mailman, a helicopter, as well as using it as a general threat to get her way. She also has a dog named Lucky who was originally a stray and given to her by Thurgood to get out of taking care of her after he caused her to fall down an elevator shaft. It was later revealed she had not become impaired by this fall, but was lonely and seeking companionship.
- Calvin Banks (Crystal Scales) and "Juicy" Hudson (Michele Morgan) - two children, who are best friends and idolize Thurgood. Calvin is a thin and intelligent boy, while "Juicy" is overweight and slow-witted. Juicy's parents are morbidly obese shut-ins, leaving Calvin and Thurgood as a surrogate family. Juicy is often made to wear a sign stating "Do Not Feed Me" when he leaves his apartment. In late episodes they are rival admirers of Sharique.
- "Smokey" (Shawn Michael Howard) - a homeless crackhead, whose antics often anger Thurgood. His real name is Elister,[4] but was referred to as "Mr. Crackhead" and "Mr. Crack" in the first 3 episodes of the series. In one episode, it is revealed that "Smokey" used to train fighting rats under the name, "Ratman Crothers". He is often insulted with the phrase, "You damn stupid crackhead!" by Thurgood. (This phrase results in a stand-up comedy act with Smokey and Thurgood in one episode) "Smokey" later quits drug use by season 3, but is still homeless. Despite his homelessness, as well as his tendency to steal from tenants whenever possible, Smokey is considered a part of the projects community by most residents.
- Jimmy Ho (Michael Paul Chan) - a Korean tenant, who considers himself part of the African-American community. He is married to Bebe, making him Thurgood's brother-in-law. Jimmy frequently uses urban or "ghetto" phrases (colloquialisms) when he speaks, and also speaks of himself as a black person, much to Thurgood's frustration.
- Bebe Ho (née Warren) (Jenifer Lewis) - Muriel's loud and obnoxious sister. She dislikes Thurgood extremely, and has a jealous feud with Muriel. Bebe appears to have had an active dating/sex life, having slept with most of her high school teachers and an exotic dancer the night before her wedding. Jimmy Ho is her fifth husband.
- Garcelle DuPris ("Haiti Lady") (Cheryl Francis Harrington) - A Haitian mambo, she is the resident Voodoo queen of the Hilton-Jacobs Projects and a Haitian immigrant. Her powers, though highly potent and proven in the episodes, "U Go Kart" and "Cruising For A Bluesing" are rarely seen in action. Examples of her powers are when she literally drives the go-cart built by Thurgood, Calvin, and Juicy "to Hell and back." She also summons a cyclops to scare Calvin and Juicy after they disrespected her and Mrs. Avery. She often incurs Thurgood's anger for regularly clogging her toilet with paper towels. He is generally unfazed by the animal parts and voodoo accessories she flushes with the paper towels, however.
- Emilio Sanchez (or just simply known as Sanchez) (Pepe Serna) - Thurgood's luckless Cuban friend. He speaks with an electrolarynx because of years of smoking, but it was implied in the episode "Haiti Sings the Blues" that Haiti Lady may have used her voodoo powers to cause that. He once wanted to become an Opera singer. He often expresses sadness over his dead wife, Esperansa. Sanchez wears a blue and white trucker hat with "Nevada" written on the front, which he actually bought in California.
Recurring characters[edit]
- Walter Burkett (Marc Wilmore) - the neighborhood parole officer with a past as a crooked cop. His past is regularly alluded to, as many people around the projects owe him favors or are subject to his blackmail. In the Christmas episode, "How the Super Stole Christmas," Walter arrested a thug for stealing an old woman's purse, but kept the thug locked in his trunk rather than call the police. He also once helped Thurgood get into prison for free dental care, and is shown to be willing (and able) to blackmail judges and business owners. He is also portrayed in many episodes (such as "Haiti and the Tramp") to be a sexual deviant, most likely a result from admitting to growing up in a whore house (revealed in "Bougie Nights")
- Tarnell (James R. Black) - the local street corner hustler, who Thurgood usually turns to when he needs something unusual. He speaks almost entirely in street slang, which Thurgood usually misunderstands, leading to Tarnell delivering the wrong items.
- Rasta Man (Kevin Michael Richardson) - A Jamaican resident and a stereotype of a marijuana smoker. He is seen in early episodes as a walking smoke cloud, and then absent from most later episodes.
- Papa Hudson and Mama Hudson - Juicy's parents. They are morbidly obese and confined to their apartment. Because Papa Hudson is so fat, we usually only see his arm and stomach through his door or window. In the episode "Bougie Nights," Poppa's face is shown for the first time. In the episode "What's Eating Juicy Hudson?", Papa leaves the apartment for the first time. In the episode "Boyz N the Woods", Papa is confirmed to weigh more than half a ton. Because of the Hudsons' obesity, Juicy is tasked with performing most household functions for the family.
- HUD Lady (Cassi Davis) - is the receptionist at HUD, always seen through frosted glass, who always refuses to give Thurgood what he wants. Despite her unwillingness to help Thurgood do his job, she is surprisingly friendly to Muriel and is willing to grant Thurgood's requests after hearing them from Muriel. Her trademark phrase is "Next!," which she yells at the end of most sentences directed at Thurgood. She is referred to as LaShawnda by the Postman. Her son's name is Chevron, her sister's name is Latrine, and her daughter's name is Lasagna. She represents the stereotype of faceless, underfunded and uncaring bureaucracy upon which HUD residents depend for supplies and guidance.
- Sharique (Wanda Christine) - in late episodes, a beautiful teen runaway who comes to the projects after her uptown parents are jailed for investment fraud. Beloved by Calvin and Juicy, she moves in with Mrs. Avery.
- Babs and De-Shawn (N/A) - Babs and De-Shawn are also addicted to crack and live on the streets like Smokey. Even though Babs speaks, it always seems to be like an animal's screaming, but Smokey is the only one that can understand her. Babs is also portrayed as a hooker (in "He's Gotta Have It" Smokey announces to Babs she has a customer when Thurgood brings up sex). De-Shawn never speaks and is usually seen with Babs and Smokey. Smokey also mentioned that De-Shawn has Tuberculosis in "U Go Kart" and has a diet of rats in "Fear of a Black Rat". Also, whenever Smokey forgets to say something, either Babs or De-Shawn whisper to him what to say (seen in "U Go Kart", and "Let's Get Ready to Rumba").
- Nula - a girl that probably is Calvin and Juicy's classmate which Juicy has a crush on (although Nula doesn't approve of his crush on her)
- Lucky - Mrs. Avery's beloved pet dog that is seen in a lot of episodes. He got his name from being shot three times by Mrs. Avery's shotgun, one time because Thurgood let him in, and then two more times to be sure he is lucky. Lucky is probably the only person that Mrs. Avery shows constant affection and love to.
Note: Because of a rumored dispute between Eddie Murphy and the Fox network (apparently over unfavorable scheduling of the show), Mark Moseley (an impressionist known as Eddie Murphy's voice double; Moseley can be heard scattered throughout almost PJ's episodes covering re-written Thurgood dialogue that time did not allow Murphy to re-record) and Phil Morris took over the role of Thurgood in several late episodes.[citation needed] Some sources indicate that Murphy was actually busy on a movie role at the time.[citation needed]
- Thurgood and Muriel's Apartment - A below street-level apartment near the front of the building.
- Front of the Building and Courtyard - Most outdoor scenes take place here. Thurgood and Sanchez occasionally play chess at the table in the corner of the courtyard.
- Boiler Room - The room where Thurgood comes to plan ideas or relax with a Forty and his collection of Jet Magazines. It was briefly a beauty salon for Muriel and Bebe in "Weave's Have a Dream." In one episode, it also features a nuclear reactor that powers the projects.
- The Roof - A variety of events and activities take place here, including the community garden (as seen in "Haiti Sings The Blues") and a gumbo cookoff in "Operation Gumbo Drop."
- Street Corner - This is where Thurgood usually meets Tarnell and gets the items he's after.
- HUD Building - This is where Thurgood comes to get equipment for the building. The front sign features a number of cynical HUD "slogans" that change in each episode.
- Porno Theater - An old dilapidated movie theater located near the Projects. Thurgood bought it with the intention to fix it up but accidentally bought a dirty movie on opening night.
"Hilton Jacobs penthouse" season 1 episode 6 Thurgood discovers a penthouse in the building

That was the first of 3 plates, but not my plate. My first plate had various raw tuna things.
The second plate was either prawn or lobster.
The third plate for me was a lamb chop. Someone else got a small steak. Someone else got "bronzini"... a fish stew.
And actually it was a great diet meal, even with a bottle of wine (shared by 3 of the 4 of us). - 3/18/12, 1:08 PM

"Bronzini" is a type of fish (aka Mediterranean seabass), not a stew.
I've had it grilled whole at several restaurants, and it's delicious. I wouldn't think of putting it in a stew unless it was on its third day.

We thought Bronzini sounded like the flesh of an over tanned human. And this fish was served in a stew form.

Assuming this is a Cafe cafe and not a restaurant post, then let me report on a really good read by a Swedish mystery author Steig Larrson called The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
No, it is not a book about The Professor. It is about a woman as smart as her, but without her social skills.
IMO it is well written at many levels. Reading it brought out my Nordic genes. - 3/18/12, 1:46 PM

I love beets. I love them now as much as I loathed them as a kid. Roasted is better.
Traditional Guy - I enjoyed those Stieg Larsson novels, but less so with each one. Too black and white, and the whole "Millenium" magazine was incidental to the story, but took a lot of time. Should have been a separate book. They kept me turning pages, though, no question. - 3/18/12, 2:00 PM

Another thing about Stieg Larsson - he and his girlfriend thought they were above the convention of marriage. He died suddenly, without a will. She got nothing from his best selling books, or anything else.

Ok, it could just be me, but the basketball play is really sloppy. The problem is, the guys are too big and there's very little playmaking left inside. The refs are not doing a good job - I've noticed this for years. Also for years it's seemed like to me the players are palming the ball. And, why'd they change the rules to eliminate jump balls. All the things that used to make for an interesting game are gone. There's a lot more travelling that's not called, too. And I thought their uniforms would be getting less baggy, but they're not. Why the modesty? And yet: tattoos. So refreshing to see bare, clean skin. What courage.
Parts of Kentucky vs Iowa State - slop. But then Kentucky redeemed themselves. That had to be some kind of record for consecutive baskets made.
What is the purpose of a long drawn out regular season when you have an over-long tournament at the end of it, a future I fear is awaiting college football/SEC. - 3/18/12, 2:10 PM

The Blonde has been helping her best bud from her old job take care of her sister, who had a stroke a few weeks ago.
So, I got a call at 20 of 4 from The Blonde (who volunteered to watch sis while her friend had the night shift) this morning saying she needed help changing the bed.
Drove over, helped, came back and slept 4 hours. The Blonde got some time off today (she has to go back as her friend works weekend option) and we were talking about it. So, in answer to Ann's post about "first sleep, second sleep", now I know what I'm supposed to be doing between sleeps. - 3/18/12, 2:20 PM

Rosie is eating a lot more than roots.
She should get a cardboard box and cut out the bottom of it and face a mirror so that she can continue her show. She can be the audience, the writer, the producer and the director, and even cheer herself on. Then she won't have to worry about her show's being cancelled.

when i was in college, beets had more to do with drinking than anything else. to "blow beets" was to get drunk enough that you had to vomit. one then became either a "beet king" or a "beet queen", and this fact was announced to everybody.
one's social standing could be slightly and temporarily raised by blowing beets.
and i've never been able to eat them since. - 3/18/12, 3:07 PM

Not to brag but this UK team is special. And yes the game is getting very ugly. Several teams have ended the first half with scores in the teens, let alone twenties. It started with Dean Smith and his 4 corners, and was perfected by Digger Phelps.
I was at a UK-Notre Dame game when I was a lad. His ND squad was totally over matched. His plan was to shorten the game by just holding the ball in the 4 corners(before the shot clock) Even when he got down by double digits they held the ball until they got a layup, or a turnover. The result was that ND wasn't crushed, instead they lost by 8-12 IIRC. Worst game I ever saw, and made me loathe Digger as a coach.
Anyway, teams that are overmatched ALL try to shorten the game. The more possessions the greater the more likely that the talent will excel.
The Big Least is absolutely the worst for ugly games...they look like rugby scrums, not ballgames. I blame their officials. They could clean it up but are afraid to call ALL the fouls, the paying customers don't want to see a free throw contest. - 3/18/12, 3:35 PM

Stanley Fish essay via Insty link
I'm baffled by the response.
Fish is right: double standards are fine. They're just the rhetoric of spin in the first place, and are no better or more significant when pointed out.
Which side Fish chooses is the weird thing. Maybe math was hard for him, so perverse consequences never figure in in his policies. - 3/18/12, 3:53 PM

- HT said...
Thanks, and I see. But but but - there is a shot clock now. So how can the game be shortened? Anyway, yes, it seems to be the lack of fundamental skill that's causing some atrocious play, I don't know. And does anyone run PLAYS anymore. Remember when the point guard would hold up a finger indicating which play it is? Maybe I 'm getting crotchety (ha, I am) but there used to be this very elegant rhythm to the game, and that's me saying that who comes from the southeast, not even the ACC where real b'ball used to be played. Yeah, Ky always dominated, but they were kind of an aberration back then being in the SEC, so much better than everyone else, with a real tradition and respect for the game. I come from much further south than that. But even UAB - man, the games were GREAT back then. Who cares if they weren't going to go anywhere? I loved going to the coliseum to watch those games. They had a great coach, too.

Carolina's going to win today.
I got so annoyed with Obama picking UNC to win. And it just so happens North Carolina is critical to his reelection.
Remember when Bush was asked what was on his iPod? And he just named the stuff that was on his iPod.
I got the distinct impression that liberals try to impress us with what is on their iPod.
Music is politicized. Sports are politicized. It's all message, all the time. They run everything through their ideology. They do this to art. They do it to everything. It's highly annoying.

I discovered if you plant a lemon seed it takes a really long time to germinate but if you carefully remove the outer shell of the seed then they germinate faster. But even that can be taken farther because the real germ is underneath another layer.
That seed peeling thing happened every day for a month. You know how you get carried away sometimes until you hear a voice that says stop it already.
I photographed all that and wrote a page. It was food-related because the seeds were coming from lemons for iced tea every day so posted on the food-related blog. No link because, eh, who cares?
The page was updated when the plants grew nicely and I showed that. The thing is, the page gets looked at a lot every single day from all unlikely places repeatedly like people are studying it and I'm over here thinking I hope I don't lead anybody astray because I actually don't know what I'm doing. But I must update the page again because the trees are growing quite well and now they need new tree-worthy pots. - 3/18/12, 5:36 PM

Anyway, teams that are overmatched ALL try to shorten the game. The more possessions the greater the more likely that the talent will excel.

The checkout girl at Whole Foods cheerfully inquired how do I do and I returned the usual platitudinous phrases then thought, no, and said, "I just killed all the fish in one of my tanks."
If you could have seen the immediate profound and sincere concern on her face. She asked how. I told her. Now a bagger girl joins and she's concerned too. Their brows were knit tightly as if they had just heard terrible personal news and they drilled me on precautionary measures I might have, should have taken. They became so sad so fast and were so concerned so immediately that I was cheered. So I said that. I said, "I am cheered that I could make you two miserable this fine day." The two girls burst out laughing.
I'm saying the death of my harlequin tetras cheered three people.
The little school of harlequin tetras is now replaced. The new ones are babies. Only one of the old fish survived. It looked lost, tiny as it is, all alone in the center of a cleared out tank. I wanted to double the original number but I bought all the store had which restored the original school. I Also got 20 neon tetras and they have their own little school. The two schools mix like miniature galaxies. Additionally, I bought two ordinary angel fish to punctuate with their elegant glissades but right now they're cowering in a corner depression. The fish store lady said I can bring them back if they grow up to pair off and become territorial, protective and mean.
All the plants are ripped out except for remnant bits of four species. One of the species tends to go rampant. Right now the tank looks bare with teeny fish in it and - 3/18/12, 6:28 PM

I guess I was going to say; soon enough I'll be cutting the plants back into shapes.

Sorry about the fish; I know how you feel. I do love tetras, but rasboras are pretty good, too.
PS Milton takes PR with over 50% of the vote, so he gets all 20 delegates, for those keeping score. - 3/18/12, 6:40 PM

Romney is piling up a monster margin in Puerto Rico with 82% of the vote.
Another 20 delegates, and a strong message (as in Florida) on which Republican hispanic voters of the Cuban-American, PR constituencies favor. Romney has also taken the hispanic vote over Catholic Santorum in Western states like AZ.
Meanwhile, Santorum is up in rural Illinois saying to his Fundie/evangelical "people" that Romney has no problem with Spanish speakers - yet wants English as the official language. "A flip-flop!" Santorum declares. A Romney spokesman says Santorum doesn't understand the difference between insisting English is the official language of government and what people decide to speak in their day to day lives. "Does Santorum really want to meddle in what language is used in family homes?" - 3/18/12, 7:14 PM

$65 I spent on gas today. It just made me mad at Bernanke all over again.
He's got interest rates down to nothing.
And he prints more money (twice!) in a desperate plan to spur the economy.
It's insane. Who thinks printing more money will solve anything? Madness.
And of course it's impossible to stimulate the economy when the real problem is over-regulation.
Yeah, sure, you inflated the dollar. But where's actual economic growth, numbnuts?
We got stagflation. Stagnant growth and crazy inflation.
And of course inflation screws the poor and does nothing to the rich.

Saint Croix, seconding your hooray! for the advent of a new Whit Stillman movie.
I loved his first two movies especially. They are both on the short list of awesome Republican movies.

No. Gretchen is right. It's Steenbock's.
And if it were that chef at Graze, it would have be l'Etoile, not Graze. Graze is a comfort food place, a different attitude.
Steenbock's is fabulous, but not enough people go there because they can't figure out where to park.

Saint Croix, I'm with you: Metropolitan probably is his best movie; but Barcelona is my personal favorite. Highly recommend it to anyone here who hasn't seen it.
So funny and so true: captures facets of experience (e.g. about what it's like to be an American abroad) that no other movie in all the world has ever conveyed or would ever convey.
I feel such affection for those characters. - 3/18/12, 9:58 PM
- yashu said...
Barcelona might make for an interesting double bill with Vicky Christina Barcelona (a movie I liked but don't love).
Two young American women (vs. two young American men) have romantic complications in Barcelona.
VCB isn't (as) political, but it does have an implicit politics (a more conventional politics, the politics we would expect from Woody Allen). Obviously the two movies have very different, almost diametrically opposed takes on the theme of "innocent" Americans abroad among "sophisticated" Europeans, and on the contrast of bourgeois vs. bohemian values.
Very Henry James theme. - 3/18/12, 10:32 PM

Skeletal muscle is the primary pathway of glucose disposal in the body through glucose uptake, storage as glycogen, and/or oxidation. Hence the development, progression and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) are intimately related to the regulation of energy metabolism in muscle. We propose to apply iterative computational modeling in conjunction with both in vitro and in vivo experimentation to uncover the integrated control of energy metabolism in muscle and determine how its regulation is altered in disease (T2D). We will develop computer models of muscle energy metabolism by utilizing the substantial foundation of software and data resources that we have established. Models will be parameterized and validated based on kinetic time- course experiments using purified mitochondria and in vivo 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Data will be obtained from male Wistar rats (normoglycemic) and the Goto Kakizaki rat model of T2D (hyperglycemic) to identify functional differences between these groups. We will determine how whole body glucose disposal is altered in T2D by coordination of the pathways of glucose and fatty acid uptake and disposal (glycogen synthesis, glycogenolysis, fatty acid oxidation, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation) using experimental protocols defined by the modeling effort. Our goal is to quantitatively describe and understand the regulation of skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism in both healthy and T2D animals. Furthermore, thorough understanding of the mechanism of action of exercise, the putative targets influenced by exercise may generate new approaches to prevention of the disease and potentially identify new targets for diabetes treatment.
Relevance: We propose to use computer simulation of the biochemical processes involved in glucose uptake and utilization in muscle to uncover mechanistic dysfunction that arises in the early stages of type 2 diabetes. By determining and validating novel mechanisms that impair the ability of muscle to dispose of glucose, we will attain fundamental new insights into how this disease and how its progression might be slowed or even reversed.

Design Pure Experience.
An ideal combination of sportiness, looks and adventure: the optional Design Pure Experience package underlines the self-confident character and impressive appearance of the BMW X5.
A BMW X5 equipped with Design Pure Experience exudes a majestic
presence – whichever way you look at it. The visual engine guard in brushed steel at the front and rear and a brushed-steel look at the sides, the air inlets with a differentiated look and the tailpipe and grille bars in silver matt lend an imposing air to the entire vehicle.
It is equally striking on the inside too – thanks to the exclusive Nappa leather upholstery with contrast stitching and extended features in Mocha and the fine-wood trim Fineline Pure.

The votes are in and the big winners at this year's Jazz Awards are saxophonist Sonny Rollins and big-band leader Maria Schneider, who each took home three awards from Tuesday's ceremony, which was held at the Jazz Standard club in New York.
Voting isn't done by tweens power-texting in thousands of votes at a time a la "American Idol" but by the 450 members of the Jazz Journalists Association.
Rollins was honored as musician of the year and top tenor saxophonist. He also earned bragging rights for historical recording/reissue of the year with his album Road Shows, Vol. 1, collection of live concert recordings from 1980 to 2007.

Rollins' nephew, Clifton Anderson, the trombonist in the saxophonist's band, accepted the awards on his uncle's behalf.
Schneider was awarded composer, arranger and large ensemble of the year.
Pianist of the year went to 90-year-old Hank Jones.
"This to me is an honor and also it's a great incentive to me to do better," said Jones. "It's not the end of things, it's the end of the beginning for me."
He modestly said that it "should be a group award," a nod to his other nominees which included veterans such as Kenny Barron, Cecil Taylor, Ahmad Jamal and Keith Jarrett and newer artists like Jason Moran and Matthew Shipp.
Jazz impresario George Wein, who founded the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954, won events producer of the year.
Lifetime achievement in Jazz went to Lee Konitz and up & coming artist of the year was awarded to Esperanza Spalding.
Cassandra Wilson won female singer of the year and Kurt Elling took home the award for male singer of the year.
Amongst many other awards handed out to acclaimed musicians, there was also awards for periodical of the year, Web site of the year, blog of the year, best book about jazz and best photo of the year.

MS Media Player gives up your box
Don't worry, they fixed it before you were rooted
Posted in Software, 28th June 2002 10:48 GMT
If there's one thing that occasionally tempts me to miss Windows, it's the mediocre multimedia support in Linux. But then again, my media player doesn't allow remote attackers to own my box. It's a trade-off, I'll allow.
Yesterday MS 'fessed up to three new holes in WMP, the most serious of which allows remote evildoers to run arbitrary code on your priceless Windoze machine.
However, and we'll quote Redmond directly, the remaining two are hardly benign. We have:
"A privilege-elevation vulnerability that could enable an attacker who can physically logon locally to a Windows 2000 machine and run a program to obtain the same rights as the operating system."
And "a script-execution vulnerability related that could run a script of an attacker's choice as if the user had chosen to run it after playing a specially formed media file and then viewing a specially constructed Web page. This particular vulnerability has specific timing requirements that makes attempts to exploit vulnerability difficult and is rated as low severity."
"Specific timing requirements" in this case means that unless you do precisely what you're told by your pal in MSM, you won't get nailed. You have to play a file, close WMP and then hit a malicious Web site. Naturally, you'd never do that.
There's a cumulative patch posted here, with additional details.

I thought I remembered seeing a way to do this but I can't find it now.
Is there any support for Freeframe 1.5? Or 3rd party External?
I'm very interested to know as well !
jit.freeframe And Max provides an SDK where many people have written externals for Max. Max provides very good GLSL shader support. And Gen! Write your own effects and processors that run as fast as C code (because they are). jit.gen, jit.pix, and jit.gl.pix.
Thanks for the reply. I am very excited about these options, and have already started to learn GLSL because of its support. However, I already own a number of FFGL effects and was hoping to be able to use these items within jitter. I am still working thru the jitter recipes.. so maybe after sometime I will not find the need for ffgl anymore.

Main stocks markets (Milan -3.5%, London -3.3%, Frankfurt -4.2%, Paris -4.8%) kept being influenced by uncertainties over the macro situation and the Euro area during the week from the 14th to 18th of November.
Strong sales over the auto&parts sector (-8.0%), after the recent market trends (-1.4% the car registrations in Europe, car sales down in China, tyre truck volumes down in Europe and North America).
Pirelli closed the week at €6.695 (-6.5%), outperforming the auto&parts sector (+1.5pp) and its main peers (+3.9pp vs Michelin, +1.1pp vs Continental, +5.2 vs Nokian). Two upgrades on the stock: Cheuvreux (€8.9 from €8.2) and Citi (€8.5 from €8.0). According to Cheuvreux, Pirelli targets are ambitious but doable, thanks to a clear focus on Premium and the continous search for internal efficiencies. The broker estimates are set towards the higher end of the guidance. Further stock upside is linked to a re-rating of the sector.
The average consensus Target Price is €8.23€ with BUY recommendations from 92% of brokers.

Happy 'Hoppers | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
This blissful couple of the family Acrididae was seen on the lower slopes of Mount Cardigan in August. Some of these grasshopper species have a fairly elaborate courtship ritual. Mating itself may take up to one hour, and the male may ride on the back of the female for a period of a day or more, a behavior known as mate guarding. Females oviposit in loose soil, typically among plant roots, in rotting wood, or even in dung. Clutches consist of 10-60 eggs, and females may lay up to 25 clutches over several weeks. Oviposition typically occurs in late summer, and the egg (as a developing embryo) overwinters. Eggs then hatch in the spring. Their life cycle is typically one year. A few species overwinter as juveniles (nymphs).

Well, Kingman, anyway. Eromee is hanging her hat here while she helps with all the baddies that call the outskirts and half the town theirs. Her armor is tougher than she is. Thank LifeNet that she is a clone and doesn't have to worry too much about dying.
Progression shows in the armor it seems. Here is her latest look.
Can't see me, hah!
Here is a close up. Can you tell a difference between these shots and the prior ones? I guess I didn't have my graphics all the way up. My laptop can handle just about anything I throw at it, so why it wasn't set higher to start is beyond me. Glad my son told me to look!
Do you find me, beautiful?
Just because, here is a picture of the moon over part of Old Kingman. I could spend hours just running around looking at things in this game. Did you know that the world of Fallen Earth was taken directly from a topographical map of the Grand Canyon area? Pretty darned cool.

Sun sets over the wasteland.
Eromee watches the sun set as her mind turns the pages of the patterns she has picked up. She feels too fashionable, too clean, for Embry Crossroads. She must make tougher, more rustic armor. She hops on old Red and rides back to town.
Tough enough for you?

To us, home building, remodeling and design is as much about craftsmanship and delivering a quality project as it is building relationships with our clients. We want a logo that helps us get across our name in a way that shows clients that we are unique, pay attention to details and offer a product customized to their needs.
Homeowners in Massachusetts, more specifically from the greater Boston area down to Cape Cod.
We really need to incorporate our company name "S.C. Wood Works" in a way that it comes across with a bold taste of quality embedded in it. Like if a furniture maker were looking at a piece of exotic wood that he knows he could turn into beautiful artwork we want our clients to look at our logo and know they will get quality with a robust sense of comfort. Using rich dark tones are appealing to us as well as possibly implementing detail in a way that doesn't overwhelm. Take a look at some of our photos that show projects that we've completed as well as primitive logos we've thrown together.

You might want to find out whether the machine in the lecture room will have internet access, and if so, perhaps it wouldn't be too ambitious to set up some sort of demo web site that will display some canned perl script(s) with instructive inputs and outputs. I guess if you're lecturing about a module that provides a wrapper for a commercial web-based API, having internet access would be really nice.
In the absence of that, I'm not sure where to go -- grab some screen shots and just present those as images?

SANFORD — Under the leadership of Mayor Tom Cote, the "Synergize Sanford" initiative held its first meeting earlier this month during a lunchtime gathering of nearly 20 young professionals from Sanford and Springvale.
The purpose of this initial meeting was to solicit feedback from the group's members on what they would like the initiative's focus and format to be. According to the Sanford Regional Economic Growth Council's recent newsletter, there was a great deal of energy and enthusiasm from the attendees, and a deep sense of commitment to making Sanford a better place for young professionals to live and do business.
Plans are in the works for a launch event toward the end of March at BSG Mill67, the new restaurant opening in the Sanford Mill at 61 Washington Street.
If you are interested in learning more about this evolving group or would like to get involved, please contact the growth council at email@example.com.

text: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SPAIN HELD MARCH 10TH & 11TH 1937 AT CENTRAL HALL, WESTMINSTER. SUMMARY OF SPEECHES. SIR WALTER CITRINE opening the Conference said that it had been called at the request of the Spanish Comrades. They had asked for a Conference of an all-in character, which meant bringing into association with them all anti-Fascist organisations. After mature deliberation the Executive had decided that such a Congress would not commend itself to the organisations affiliated to the two International bodies, so that consequently a Conference was called only of organisations affiliated to these; [two International bodies,] but they were all requested to make the delegation as large as possible so that the Conference would be fully representative. The First speaker was:- PASCUAL TOMAS. Mentioned that they thought they should have had an all-in conference even if composed of Catholics, Anarchists, Communists with the Socialists. However they accepted the decision that was taken. Spain needs something more than expressions of Solidarity and Relief. Those things were not sufficient. They wanted the power to put up greater force than the Fascists possessed, for tanks, airoplanes and war materials were coming from the anti-Fascist countries. In Italy [the] European Democracy [is] confined itself to protests. Their resistance collapsed. They will [not] be prepared to agree to the withdrawal of all volunteers from Spain. They were prepared to be left alone to face the rebels. Italian and German ships were to control the Mediteranean [Mediterranean] coast of Spain and these were the ships which were helping Franco.

Bethany A. Riebock's Event Journal

2 tickets
General Admission
How was your experience?
Gotye gave a great performance, and the warm-up acts were excellent. The show moved along in a timely manner, and I believe we were all done by 10:30-11ish. It was my first time at Charter One, and it's pretty basic for an outdoor venue. There was confusion as to our "general admission" ticket, as Goldstar said we would "choose our seats" when we arrived. We arrived to find out (and get kicked out) of seats to the general admission area (read: standing/dirty ground sitting only). It was no big deal, but a little annoying that they didn't explain that to us.

Improve your WordPress SEO: Write better content and have a fully optimized WordPress site using the Yoast SEO plugin.
WordPress out of the box is already technically quite a good platform for SEO. This was true when Joost wrote his original WordPress SEO article in 2008 (updated every few months) and it's still true today, but that doesn't mean you can't improve it further! This plugin is written from the ground up by Joost de Valk and his team at Yoast to improve your site's SEO on all needed aspects. While this Yoast SEO plugin goes the extra mile to take care of all the technical optimization, more on that below, it first and foremost helps you write better content. Yoast SEO forces you to choose a focus keyword when you're writing your articles, and then makes sure you use that focus keyword everywhere.
Premium Support
The Yoast team does not always provide active support for the Yoast SEO plugin on the WordPress.org forums. One-on-one email support is available to people who bought the Premium Yoast SEO plugin only. Note that the Premium SEO plugin has several extra features too, including the option to have multiple focus keywords and a redirect manager, so it might be well worth your investment!You should also check out the Yoast Local SEO, Yoast News SEO and Yoast Video SEO extensions to Yoast SEO. These of course come with support too.
Bug Reports
Bug reports for Yoast SEO are welcomed on GitHub. Please note GitHub is not a support forum, and issues that aren't properly qualified as bugs will be closed.
Using the snippet preview, you can see a rendering of what your post or page will look like in the search results, whether your title is too long or too short, and whether your meta description makes sense in the context of a search result. This way the plugin will help you not only increase rankings but also increase the click through rate for organic search results.
The Yoast SEO plugins Page Analysis functionality checks simple things you're bound to forget. It checks, for instance, if you have images in your post and whether they have an alt tag containing the focus keyword for that post. It also checks whether your posts are long enough, whether you've written a meta description and if that meta description contains your focus keyword, if you've used any subheadings within your post, etc. etc.
The plugin alsgruo allows you to write meta titles and descriptions for all your category, tag and custom taxonomy archives, giving you the option to further optimize those pages.
Combined, this plugin makes sure that your content is the type of content search engines will love!
While out of the box WordPress is pretty good for SEO, it needs some tweaks here and there. This Yoast SEO plugin guides you through some of the settings needed, for instance by reminding you to enable pretty permalinks. But it also goes beyond that, by automatically optimizing and inserting the meta tags and link elements that Google and other search engines like so much:
With the Yoast SEO plugin you can control which pages Google shows in its search results and which pages it doesn't show. By default, it will tell search engines to index all of your pages, including category and tag archives, but to only show the first pages in the search results. It's not very useful for a user to end up on the third page of your "personal" category, right?
WordPress itself only shows canonical link elements on single pages, but Yoast SEO makes it output canonical link elements everywhere. Google has recently announced they would also use rel="next"
and rel="prev"
link elements in the head
section of your paginated archives. This plugin adds those automatically. See this post for more info.
The Yoast SEO plugin has the most advanced XML Sitemaps functionality in any WordPress plugin. Once you check the box, it automatically creates XML sitemaps and notifies Google & Bing of the sitemaps' existence. These XML sitemaps include the images in your posts & pages too, so that your images may be found better in the search engines too.
These XML Sitemaps will even work on large sites, because of how they're created, using one index sitemap that links to sub-sitemaps for each 1,000 posts. They will also work with custom post types and custom taxonomies automatically, while giving you the option to remove those from the XML sitemap should you wish to.
Because of using XSL stylesheets for these XML Sitemaps, the XML sitemaps are easily readable for the human eye too, so you can spot things that shouldn't be in there.
Are you being outranked by scrapers? Instead of cursing at them, use them to your advantage! By automatically adding a link to your RSS feed pointing back to the original article, you're telling the search engine where they should be looking for the original. This way, the Yoast SEO plugin increases your own chance of ranking for your chosen keywords and gets rid of scrapers in one go!
If your theme is compatible, and themes based on for instance Genesis or by WooThemes often are, you can use the built-in Breadcrumbs functionality. This allows you to create an easy navigation that is great for both users and search engines, and will support the search engines in understanding the structure of your site.
Making your theme compatible isn't hard either, check these instructions.
Using the built-in file editor, you can edit your WordPress blog's .htaccess
and robots.txt
file, giving you direct access to the two most powerful files, from an SEO perspective, in your WordPress install.
SEO and Social Media are heavily intertwined. That's why this plugin also comes with a Facebook OpenGraph implementation and will soon also support Google+ sharing tags.
The Yoast SEO plugin, unlike some others, is fully Multi-Site compatible. The XML Sitemaps work fine in all setups and you even have the option, in the Network settings, to copy the settings from one blog to another, or make blogs default to the settings for a specific blog.
If you have multiple blogs, setting up plugins like this one on all of them might seem like a daunting task. Except that it's not, because what you can do is simple: you set up the plugin once. You then export your settings and simply import them on all your other sites. It's that simple!
If you've used All In One SEO Pack or HeadSpace2 before using this plugin, you might want to import all your old titles and descriptions. You can do that easily using the built-in import functionality. There's also import functionality for some of the older Yoast plugins, like Robots Meta and RSS footer.
Should you have a need to import from another SEO plugin to Yoast SEO, or from a theme like Genesis or Thesis, you can use the SEO Data Transporter plugin, which will easily convert your SEO meta data from and to a whole set of plugins like Platinum SEO, SEO Ultimate, Greg's High Performance SEO, and themes like Headway, Hybrid, WooFramework, Catalyst etc.
Read this migration guide if you still have questions about migrating from another SEO plugin to Yoast SEO.
Currently a huge translation project is underway, translating Yoast SEO in as much as 24 languages. So far, the translations for French and Dutch are complete, but we still need help on a lot of other languages, so if you're good at translating, please join us at translate.yoast.com.
Be sure to also check out the premium News SEO module if you need Google News Sitemaps. It tightly integrates with Yoast SEO to give you the combined power of News Sitemaps and full Search Engine Optimization.

The Sports Xchange
Miami Heat forward LeBron James apologized for using the word "retarded" while speaking with the media Wednesday.
During an interview before the Heat played the Thunder, James was asked whether Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant improved his passing this season.
"That is retarded to me," James said. "Kevin Durant is great at being a passer."
Following the game, James expressed regret over his earlier word choice.
"I used the word retarded before," James said. "Obviously, it had nothing to do with kids that are underprivileged . There's no knock on them. It's a word that's been around for a long time where I grew. It's a bad habit, so I try to break it. If I use it again, I'm going to try to do my best not to. I mean no disrespect."
James made a similar comment three years ago in the playoffs, when he also apologized for saying a question was "retarded."
During Wednesday's game in Miami, James scored a game-high 34 points, but Durant scored 33 points and led the Thunder to a 112-95 win.

8-year-old Celina girl's call to 911 likely saves her mom's life
MONTEZUMA - Ask Kaylee Stienecker how to save a life and the Celina East Elementary School third-grader quickly responds, "Call 911."
That's exactly what the precocious 8-year-old did after being unable to rouse her mother the night of Aug. 9.
Kathy "Kat" Stienecker had been lying on the couch battling a headache and an upset stomach as a television movie played in the background. At some point, the 43-year-old woman sat up and then got to her feet before collapsing onto the carpeted floor.
"I tried to wake her," Kaylee says. "She wouldn't talk or anything."
With her father at work and no one else around, the girl remembered instructions her mother offered years ago - "If something bad ever happens, call 911 right away." She left her mother's side just long enough to get the cordless phone.
Dispatcher Kelly Westgerdes fielded the call shortly after 6:30 p.m. Concern clearly registered in the child's soft spoken plea for help.
"My mom's on the floor and she won't move," Kaylee said. "I'm scared."
Westgerdes, a 13-year employee of the Mercer County Sheriff's Office, dispatched an ambulance and then turned her attention to the young caller.
"The lady told me to stay calm and help would be here in a few minutes," Kaylee recalls. "She asked me to stay on the line and I did until the siren came real close. I was kinda happy to hear it because people in the ambulance could help my mom."
After opening the door for medics, she picked up the phone and called her dad Mike at Globus Printing in Minster. A deputy responding to the Cottonwood Road address asked neighbors Dave and Elaine Klosterman to stay with the girl as the ambulance left enroute to Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater.
Father and daughter later walked into the emergency room hand in hand to learn the doctor suspected a massive stroke. Subsequent tests confirmed the diagnosis.
"I got to see my mom for a little bit but not very long," Kaylee says quietly. "She was awake, but she couldn't talk. I told her I loved her and that I would see her when she felt better. I think that made her happy."
A waiting helicopter flew her mother to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, Ind.
After nearly two weeks in the intensive care unit, Kathy now is in the rehabilitation department, where she undergoes physical and speech therapy at least 31/2 hours each day. She has regained the ability to swallow and to say a few words, but doctors warn the road to recovery will be long and bumpy. However, they point out she would not have survived without the girl's quick intervention.
Kaylee, who has been staying with paternal grandparents Willard and Norma Stienecker, calls mom daily and visits several times a week bringing stuffed bears from McDonald's Happy Meals to brighten the hospital room.
Mike has developed nerve problems in the interim and doctors have ordered him not to work until things improve. He spends day and night at his wife's bedside assisting with therapy and reading much appreciated get-well cards. Family members are considering the establishment of a fund to help with mounting hospital bills.
Meanwhile, Kaylee longs to share the importance of calling 911 in the event of an emergency with other youths, not just fellow third-graders.
"I'm hoping the principal will let me talk during an assembly," she says. "All kids need to know about this because you never know when something will happen. Hopefully, they will remember to go to the phone for help."
Norma Stienecker listens to her granddaughter with justifiable pride, calling her a miracle child.
"Doctors warned Mike and Kathy years ago they would never have children," she says. "Kaylee was born after their 17th wedding anniversary. Kathy gave her life and God allowed this little girl to return the gift."

An individual's goal-setting behavior may indicate how they will communicate in relationships.
This guest article from Psych Central was written by Rick Nauert, PhD.
New research suggests an individual's goal-setting strategy can have an effect on personal relationships.
According to investigators, goal-setting behavior may influence whether people will be comfortable in sharing and communicating.
For example, people with "mastery goals" want to improve themselves. Maybe they want to get better grades, make more sales, or land that triple toe loop.
On the other hand, people with what psychologists call "performance goals" are trying to outperform others -- to get a better grade than a friend or be Employee of the Year.
Both kinds of goals can be useful in different contexts.
P. Marijn Poortvliet, of Tilburg University in the Netherlands, and Céline Darnon of France's Clermont University studied the social context of these goals -- what they do to your relationships.
Their work is found in the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science.
Poortvliet's work focuses on information exchange -- whether people are open and honest when they are working together.
"People with performance goals are more deceitful" and less likely to share information with coworkers, both in the laboratory and in real-world offices he has studied, Poortvliet says.
"The reason is fairly obvious -- when you want to outperform others, it doesn't make sense to be honest about information."
On the other hand, people who are trying to improve themselves are quite open, he says. "If the ultimate goal is to improve yourself, one way to do it is to be very cooperative with other people."
This can help improve the work environment, even though the people with these goals aren't necessarily thinking about social relations. "They're not really altruists, per se. They see the social exchange as a means toward the ends of self improvement."
Other research has found that people with these self-improvement goals are more open to hearing different perspectives, while people with a performance goal "would rather just say, 'I'm just right and you are wrong.'"
It's not always bad to be competitive, Poortvliet says. "For example, if you want to be the Olympic champion, of course it's nice to have mastery goals and you should probably have mastery goals, but you definitely need performance goals because you want to be the winner and not the runner-up."
But it's important to think about how goals affect the social environment.
"If you really want to establish constructive and long-lasting working relationships, then you should really balance the different levels of goals," Poortvliet says -- thinking not only about each person's achievement, but also about the team as a whole.
Some people are naturally more competitive than others. But it's also possible for managers to shift the kinds of goals people have by, for example, giving a bonus for the best employee.
That might encourage people to set performance goals and compete against each other. On the other hand, it would also be possible to structure a bonus program to give people rewards based on their individual improvement over time.

Clarins: Pros: Broad selection of effective, broad-spectrum sunscreens; excellent range of self-tanning products; some good cleansers and gentle topical scrubs; the makeup has improved considerably; superb foundations and powders; very good powder blush; an ideal brow pencil; wonderfully creamy lipsticks; great lip liner and mascaras. Cons: Overpriced; pervasive reliance on jar packaging; most products have more fragrance than beneficial plant extracts; poor toners; an overabundance of average moisturizers; no effective products for lightening discolorations or treating acne; no AHA or BHA products; the Anti-Pollution complex cannot protect skin as claimed; disappointing eye pencils; average eyeshadows and makeup brushes. Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream: ($102.00/1.7 ounces) is another fairly standard moisturizer from Clarins with the usual assortment of wow-factor claims, including smoothing wrinkles, helping skin feel "lifted," and restoring a youthful appearance. If you have dry, dehydrated skin, any moisturizer can make skin look younger and feel smoother. Super Restorative Day Cream isn't the best choice for daytime because it lacks a sunscreen, and there is no recommendation on the label to make sure you use sunscreen in addition to this product. It contains mostly water, emollient, glycerin, thickeners, silicone, slip agent, plant oil, fragrance, pH adjuster, plant extracts, film-forming agent, mica (for shine), several more plant extracts, vitamins, and preservatives. Given such a rather ordinary emollient moisturizer, your money is best saved for some other splurge. Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base: ($24) comes packaged in a click-pen applicator with a built-in synthetic brush tip. Housed inside is a smooth liquid concealer that blends well, evening out the appearance of skin on the eyelid or undereye area. This has a crease-free matte finish that adds a touch of shine to skin, though not distractingly so. Both shades are good, but they are best for fair to light skin tones. Although this is an impressive product, it is superfluous if you're already using an excellent concealer in the eye area. Clarins Extra Firming Foundation: ($39) doesn't contain a single ingredient capable of firming skin, extra or otherwise (tiny amounts of mushroom and algae extracts do not firm skin). That doesn't stop this foundation from being a top choice for someone with normal to dry skin. It's texture and application are creamy smooth, setting to a soft matte finish that remains slightly moist to the touch, which provides a healthy glow. You can attain medium to full coverage, but it looks best when blended on lightly (over a sunscreen if you're using it during daylight hours). The range of 11 shades has some impressively neutral options for fair to medium skin, as well as Clarins' only selection of truly dark foundation shades (Mahogany, Camel, and Chestnut).
