I ordered this product with out trying it because I was going to South America for a trip and needed some protection. I usually hate sunscreen because of the thick, gooey spray and the awful smell. As I was applying this to my arms, I was thrilled! It went on like a dream. No color, no oder, and I did not get sunburned despite walking around in the sun for hours at a time.
Would totally recommend this product!!!
This is hands down the best sunscreen I have ever purchased! It has a great scent, is easy to apply and never leaves your skin (or hands) feeling oily. I went through so many cans of this this summer and I plan on sticking with this product for a very long time!
I am a big fan of Supergoop and this product is no exception. I love the quick application, the cheerful scent and the feeling of my skin after I put it on. I only wish the bottle lasted longer.
Bought for me, shared with family... We all loved the smell, will be buying some next year too! Favorite in the beach bag this summer. Easy to apply and worked great for all of us.
Who knew a spray on sunscreen could be so effective? It's easy to use and seems to be effective. When my skin is feeling dry I use traditional sunscreen but like this spray when the weather is hot and humid because it's not greasy.
Yes I love the added extra vitamins and stuff, but honestly it is way way way way too greasy. I LOVE THE BRAND THOUGH- I'm about to buy a face BB crean with an SPF that I just got a sample of, not greasy at all and actually really nice coverage.
I was looking for a sunblock that didn't have an offensive odor or was too stick and this worked well. I used the spray on a hot day that would have made putting cream sunblock on difficult. Also used on my young niece and didn't hear any complaints!
Great coverage. Fantastic smell. Packaged well. Worth every penny for skin protection. Does feel little more oily than most products but worth it for beach time.
This sunscreen did not sting at all! Smells good and feels really good on your skin. This bottle didn't last very long so I will stick to the tube! Otherwise great stuff!
Love this light weight sunblock! Doesn't feel sticky on my skin and smells Devine! I will say adults only made my sons get rashes on their skin.

In Boston, we're spoiled with one of the country's best science museums—a fact that we were reminded of when writing about the Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge. We are, of course, talking about the Museum of Science which has featured some of the most sought-after national exhibits (upcoming shows include an interactive shipwreck treasure display and a rare collection of ancient Dead Sea scrolls).
This inspired us to do a little scientific research of our own, looking for some of the best museums and exhibits outside of our fine city. If you call any of these areas home, or plan to be in the neighborhood, it couldn't hurt to experiment with a trip to one of these top-notch museums.
Clockwise from top left:
Center of Science and Industry (Columbus, OH): Head to this award-winning museum for the interactive Adventure in the Valley of the Unknown; you'll walk through an island temple replica solving mysteries and learning about ancient culture.
San Francisco Exploratorium (San Francisco, CA): This world-class science center is currently in the process of changing location, which presents San Francisco visitors the interesting opportunity to check out museum-organized outdoor street parties and pop-up events in the meantime. Check out the schedules.
Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Washington D.C.): We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the National Museum of Natural history. Upcoming exhibits highlight a rare collection of Orchids from Latin America and eye-opening, deep-sea photography.
Pacific Science Center (Seattle, WA): With a full IMAX theater and rotating shows, currently including Imaginate—teaching visitors how to stimulate innovation through science and knowledge—this northwestern science center rounds out our list in a truly progressive fashion.

Lack of maintenance! What is wrong with people?
I have a few family members and friends that do absolutely no maintenance on their vehicles. (other than occasional oil changes). They always complain when a brake job cost them $400-$500 because they need rotors, calipers, and pads. I have a friend that bought a car new and never did anything other than oil changes. After 2 years she had to put front tires on it. The next year she put rears on it. She never rotated them so now she needs fronts again. Another friend had new tires put on his car a year ago. He kept having rim leak issues, so the tire shop convinced him that he needed new rims because the rust was causing "micro perforations", so he bought factory rims and new tires for the car. Then complained that he spent over $1000 in a year and wants to trade it in because it has 90,000 miles on it. (Oh No!) I do not understand how people think that they can just drive and never do anything to maintain their vehicle. It drives me nuts. Don't change spark plugs, buy a new car! My brakes squeak, oh well, It still stops. I just changed plugs out on a 08 explorer with 180,000 miles. The plugs were never changed before. (I was worried about pulling a @Conlan Rose ,broken plug!lol) The specified gap was .050-.052, My gap gauge goes to .095 and the gap on the removed plugs was larger than that. The electrodes were eroded to sharp pointy knife edges. The owner asked me to do a trans service. I told him no way. It was never done before I am not touching it now. I just don't get how people think that cars are like razors, disposable. Either they have the money to waste on a new car every few years or they just don't care. I had a another friend who sold his car that was 6 years old with 80,000 miles because the fuel pump went out. (the theory was, when one thing goes everything starts going) He practically paid the shop to take the car off his hands. The shop still uses it as a loaner car 5 years later! Sorry about the rant, I have just seen so much of this in the last 2 weeks.

12-31-2012, 03:07 PM #3Those, of course, are the people who always pity themselves and say they have "Bad Luck." My sister does the same thing, I gave her one of my cars in the past that I maintained meticulously. I told her when I handed over the keys to just go get the brake pads done... 1 year later, she complained to me that I gave her a junk car, etc, because now she needed rotors too... After neglecting that car for long another, she bought a new trailblazer. I don't even think she got the oil changed in it for the first year. it makes me sick when she complains that she has such bad luck with cars, because it her fault that she does... /rant...
00 Chevy Tahoe LT, 5.3 4x4
12-31-2012, 03:11 PM #4@Kady, I have seen that many times also. My father has given very well maintained, well running cars to people and they last a year or maybe 2 because they don't do anything to them.
12-31-2012, 03:12 PM #5I may have spent a lot this year on my truck, but it was all on maintnence that the former owner should have preformed. Cars are built to last about 10 years or 250,000 miles. (Ford trucks are built to last 5 years or 150,000 miles) But most people get a new car every 5 years because they don't want to pay for repairs. I spend $800+ on a brake job, that brake job also included replacing my rear axle seals, milling my rotors, new front and rear pads and one new drum liner. I spend $500 on preventative maintenance once (tranny flush, fuel system cleaning, and A/C tune up). Soon I will need new tires which cost $175 per tire. Unfortunately all my major maintenance intervals and repairs are falling at the same time, but I"m not getting rid of my truck because once finished it'll be ready for another 200,000 miles before new major problems.
A properly maintained Chevy truck can reach over 1,000,000 miles with is factory engine. Its been done many times. I wish people knew the value of a vehicle.
@Pikey thanks for reminding me . My new plugs are meant to last 100,000 miles, I will pull them at 30,000 to make sure they will come out and then I'll put them back and do the same at 60,000 and then replace at 90,000 just to make sure I don't have to pay 300 to have a broken plug removed.....Last edited by Conlan Rose; 12-31-2012 at 03:24 PM.

12-31-2012, 03:19 PM #6As soon as my truck gets up here, its getting new plugs, new air filter, oil change, new brake pads, maybe even a new transfer case (if I can ever find one ), and other odds and ends necessary to it running, and running right. Maybe even a performance item here and there. Getting kinda bored staying here on base.

12-31-2012, 03:33 PM #8I think that should be a lesson to every one. If it doesn't move and it is suppose to use as much WD-40, PBlaster, or any other penetration oil as you can and let it soak. That's how you take exhaust bolts off. I went through a whole can of WD-40 and Marvel penetration oil just to remove the exhaust cross over pipe from the header.
12-31-2012, 07:54 PM #10I guess that I got lucky in that department. Before the kids came my wife and I would do brake jobs together, She did one side and I did the other. Same with oil changes, she would drop the oil and filter while I greased. It is nice that when I say something needs done to one of our vehicles she has no problem with it. She might question why I am doing something, usually to educate herself. She knows that a job always takes longer then planned. Especially on the last two used trucks that I purchased. Of course doing a brake job on a newly acquired truck I will find something that I do not like. She knows that I am not going to just slap new pads in and be done, I am going to make another trip to the parts store and fix it right. Sometimes she makes the part store run or brings me beer while i am working.

Looks like SFN will be without one of its VIPs for a while....
Shocked US police uncovered the evil lair after a two-year crackdown on paedophiles led them to the British-born perverts home in Worcester, Massachusetts.
They found the place strewn with indecent images of children and a fully equipped torture chamber.
FBI pictures show how he had built a staircase leading down to a hidden, sound-proof cellar.
Inside was a child-sized homemade coffin covered in wire mesh and fitted with padlocks. It had six metal rings inside to act as restraints.
Alongside the cask was a steel cage 3ft wide, 4ft long and 2ft high. It, too, was fitted with locks.
Investigators also found bondage equipment, knives, handcuffs, castration tools, butchery equipment, two large freezers and disposable scalpels.
Portway has already pleaded guilty earlier this year to plotting to kidnap a child and to distributing and possessing child pornography.
On Tuesday prosecutors will demand that he serves at least 27 years in prison before being deported back to the UK.
In court papers filed earlier this week it emerged that he used the alias Longpig the cannibal name for human flesh as he chatted online with other paedophiles.
One of his contacts was sex offender Ronald Brown, jailed for 20 years in Florida this month for plotting to kidnap youngsters through his local church.
He is said to have sent Portway a picture of a young boy with lines drawn on it to show how the body should be sliced into various cuts of meat.
The pair also discussed taking a child to a rented house in the Everglades, mutilating him, eating him, then feeding the leftovers to alligators.
Portway wrote: Just need to open a mortuary. Any boy who is scheduled to be cremated, disappears.
Federal agents began investigating the pervert in 2012 after linking him to an internet chat room obsessed with cannibalism and child rape.
He would trade sick images and videos of youngsters being horrifically abused.
In one internet conversation the computer programmer talked about children he knew, identifying them as potential victims.
A paedophile told Portway it would not be hard to find out where a particular boy lived in Baltimore.
He asked: Question is, would you go that far to snatch him?
Portway replied: I might if I could get him.

Coaxial illumination renders common objects in a completely different way. Surface texture and differences in gloss are strongly emphasized while the usual properties of color and darkness are barely visible. This unique property makes the Coaxial Microscope the best instrument for examining anilox roll cell structure, surface finish on metal rollers, varnish on printed work, and many other print related materials.
The objective lens of the microscope serves two functions in this device. It forms the highly magnified image that is further enlarged by the eyepiece and also serves to focus the illumination source onto the object. The light is directed and focused in a pattern that is precisely perpendicular to the sample surface. What you see through the eyepiece is the difference in the directly reflected light due to differences in gloss or angle of the sample.
This is very different than all other magnifiers and microscopes that place the light source off to the side and to go to great lengths to avoid direct reflections. None of them render the engraved structure of anilox cells as clearly as the Beta Coaxial Microscope. It is available in three magnifications to suit your needs.
100x is useful for coarse engravings and general inspection of metallic surfaces
200x shows the uniformity of clear coatings and primers as well as details of hot stamped films and holographic foils
400x is the most widely used magnification for critical examination of fine anilox cell structures, determination of cleaning efficiency, and laser-ablation metal plates
For the MOST precise CTP calibration for metal or polyester plates, prints & proofs, and film there are four different versions of the ULTRA DOTTIE 2 CTP Calibration System to match your needs and budget.
Hand held and easy to use, the system measures plates and images for calibration as an image based halftone analyzer that easily links to your RIP for superior calibration for AM/FM (Stochastic) calibration.
State of the Art and Affordable. A FREE BETAMAG 12X W/DUAL LED'S IS INCLUDED WITH EVERY PURCHASE, (VALUE $109)

BETAFLEX FLEXO PLATE & IMAGE ANALYZERS - Featuring BETAFLEX PRO FOR HD FLEXO & MORE. The Precise & Productive Tool for Today's Flexo
The new BETAFLEX PRO system operates at the highest resolution to provide the most accurate and consistent measurements. HD Flexo, stochastic screening, and all the most sophisticated prepress techniques can be measured and controlled with ease and accuracy.
Revolutionary 3D imaging and DOT STRUCTURE Mode add togographical visualization to the conventional dot area halftone measurements. Dot height, diameter, slope and more are visualized and automatically measured at 22,000 PPI. Surface enhancement techniques are easily seen and quantified.
The new high resolution system is portable and easy to use. Operating in TRANSMISSION mode at 14,000 PPI, it quickly and accurately measures all types of transparent flexo plates, digital ablation masks, and halftone films. The new Mask Stain Density function eliminates the need to carry an old fashioned film densitometer to verify laser energy, focus, and beam adjustments.
In PRINT mode color separation imaging of offset plates and color prints on film and paper measures Dot Area, Screen Ruling, Edge Factor and more. Data and images are easily captured and printed with the integral report generator and statistical analyzer.
Image Comparison function automatically rotates, scales and overlays images to display and measure differences in dot area. See dot size, change from mask to plate to print, plant to plant, or week to week. See changes in the process or materials, the plant or the method before expensive errors propagate through the system.

The Beta Digital Electronic Ruler allows precise, non-contact measurements of large and small distances. Small details such as barcode lines can be measured within the eyepiece of the 50x microscope, while the cross hair in the microscope is used to locate larger details when moving the readout along the beam.
The hardened stainless steel beam eliminates the shortcomings of fragile glass scales. The compund microscope and reticle place the crosshairs in precisely the same plane as the object, eliminating the parallax errors common to all low-power magnifiers.
Please specify an INCH or METRIC reticle for the eyepiece of the microscope. The electronic scale display allows you to switch between INCH and METRIC units.
When greater precision and repeatability are desired, as well as the ability to capture images and measurement data, see our Video Rulers as well.
Non-contact measurementsMeasures films, plates, dies, and printsMagnification: 50x
The Beta Video Ruler allows precise, non-contact measurements of large and small distances on Films, Plates, Dies, and Prints. Small features are measured directly on the monitor by dragging the cursor across them. Large distances are measured by marking the starting point with the auto-snap cursor on screen. The camera and scale encoder are then moved to the opposite end of object. The cursor is then moved to within auto-snap distance and the total length is calculated and displayed on screen.
The unique Video Color Separation system adds an extremely useful function when measurements are needed of process or spot color images, particularly when pastel colors or low-contrast images are involved. The process yellow image is nearly impossible to see against white paper even under magnification. Utilizing the adjustable separation system the color of interest is separated from the background and other interfering colors. It is converted to grayscale and displayed in real-time on the monitor while using the measuring functions. Offset, flexo, and screenprint registration marks are now easy to see and measure. Inkjet defects such as scatter, comets, and clumping are now easily imaged and measured.

A child plays with a fitness ball at the gym in a Centro Alcance at the Nueva Capital impoverished neighbourhood in Tegucigalpa November 28, 2013. According to USAID, which funds the Centros Alcance (Outreach Centers), the centres are places where youths living in areas with high levels of violence and crime can seek refuge and indulge in sports, arts and other forms of entertainment, dissuading them from joining gangs or using drugs. The centres also provide training so people can develop job skills, improve academic performance and reduce school dropout numbers. REUTERS/Tomas Bravo (HONDURAS - Tags: SOCIETY)

Fuengirola is more family-friendly. There are plenty of watersports on offer, and pedal-boats for the family to enjoy. Malaga offers more relaxed attractions such as Picasso's birthplace and some of the best fish and seafood restaurants in the region, it also has a lively nightlife. Nerja boasts quieter coves within walking distance of its busier beaches. The town's main attraction is the Cuevas de Nerja, a series of caverns which contain the world's largest stalactite. Away from the coast lie the prehistoric dolmen caves at Antequera and the magnificent limestone gorge near El Chorro. Marbella is famous for its luxury, with an impressive old town and an array of upmarket bars and restaurants.

Interviews with People magazine and Entertainment Tonight are just as important as sit-downs with national news media, President Barack Obama's deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said Sunday.
"Not more important, but equally important, and that is where a lot of Americans get their news," Cutter said on CNN's "State of the Union." Obama answered questions from both People and ET this week, and while the questioning included some softballs, both interviews probed Obama about Vice President Joe Biden's remarks in Virginia when he told a crowd that Mitt Romney's regulatory policies would "put y'all back in chains."
Republicans have been hammering Obama for not conducting a news conference with the White House press corps, and released a web video Friday mocking Obama's recent interview with a New Mexico radio station -- an interview which included questions on food, music, and what superpower the president would most like to have.
Both Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, have granted interviews with local outlets in battleground states in their fight for the White House. They field questions from national news outlets with varying frequency.
Romney's most recent press conference with the national press corps was on Thursday in South Carolina. Obama last took questions from wire service reporters in mid-June at the G-20 conference in Mexico, while his last full press conference was in May at the NATO conference in Chicago.
On Sunday, Cutter told CNN national political correspondent Jim Acosta that doing interviews with local outlets was as important as taking questions from national media.
"The president was talking to the reporters to the ground in Iowa. Do you think that is less important than talking to somebody like you? Everywhere that the president goes he is talking to reporters," Cutter said.
Romney's press conference on Thursday wasn't of any service to the public since his answers weren't truthful, Cutter said.
"Mitt Romney might have had two media availabilities, but what did he tell you in the media availabilities? He told you he would not release the taxes, because he was afraid of getting attacked, and spouted out lies about the president's plan. And is that media availability important if he is spouting lies and misstating the president's plan?" Cutter asked.
At Friday's White House briefing for reporters, deputy press secretary Josh Earnest was asked when the president's next press conference would be.
"The president has spent a lot of time answering questions from journalists all across the country," Earnest replied. "The president has spent a lot of time talking publicly about the issues he thinks are at stake in this election and are worthy of an important political debate about the future of the country. That is something he feels a responsibility to do."

As a potentially historic winter storm hits New England, it's a good idea to prepare for a power outage just in case.
Here are some tips to stay healthy when the lights go out:
Avoid hypothermia
A condition called hypothermia happens when a person's core body temperature goes below 95 degrees F. A rapid loss of body heat, usually because of being in cold water, is called acute hypothermia.
Cold outdoor weather poses risks of subacute hypothermia, when the body can't cope with the cold. And chronic hypothermia happens from ongoing exposure to indoor temperatures below 50 degrees F, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
If your home has no heat, you can prevent hypothermia by using blankets, wearing layers of clothing and a hat, and moving around, as body temperature goes up with physical activity. Everyone should also be getting adequate food and liquids.
A person with hypothermia may become less awake and aware as his or her body temperature drops. Give the person warm beverages, but not alcohol or cigarettes. Don't try to warm a person with severe hypothermia using direct heat or hot water, as they will need to be carefully rewarmed and monitored. The CDC also discourages rubbing or massaging the skin.
Drink safe water
Water purification systems may suffer malfunctions because of power outages. You should not brush your teeth, wash or prepare food, wash your hands or make ice or baby formula using contaminated water.
Keeping bottled water around is one solution, as long as you know that it came from a safe source.
The best way to make sure that your water is safe from bacteria and parasites is to boil it; one minute of boiling will kill most of these organisms, says the CDC.
You can also disinfect water yourself by filtering it through a clean cloth, paper towel, or coffee filter, or allowing it to settle. Then, draw off the clear water and disinfect using a household chemical aid such as these:
Unscented liquid household chlorine (5-6%) bleach can be used as follows: 1/8 of a teaspoon can be added for every gallon of clear water, or 1/4 teaspoon of bleach for each gallon of cloudy water. Stir well and let stand for at least 30 minutes before you use it. Disinfected water should be stored in clean containers that have tight covers.
Iodine and chlorine dioxide tablets can also be used as disinfectants -- just follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Managing your medications
The elderly and chronically ill need to take note of their medications when the power goes out.
Insulin and some liquid medications may require cooling, says Dr. David Seaburg, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. In warm weather, lunch bags containing a cool pack are a good option for those products.
For those facing evacuation, it's important to have a record -- either a piece of paper or a computer accessible file -- with the names and dosage information of your prescription drugs. Ideally, it should be prepared in advance.
For diabetics, a supply of snacks is essential, along with insulin and any other medications, says Dr. David Ross, a Colorado Springs, Colorado, emergency physician who assisted victims of a wildfire last summer.
Ross also suggests that people have an emergency one-month supply of prescription medications, so they will not be caught short-handed.
And Seaburg adds, "If you have a chronic illness or take prescription medications and you are evacuated or choose to go to a community center, make someone aware that you have a medical condition, so they will know what to check for if your behavior seems a little unusual."
Breathing easy
Another consideration during a loss of power is for patients with chronic breathing problems.
People who require continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, devices for sleep apnea or other sleep issues will need an alternative source of power. There are options available for most machines, including CPAP battery packs, DC power options, marine battery adapters and travel-specific CPAP machines to provide power in the event of an electrical outage.

The Great Wynton Kelly
12/02/2011 Contributor:
Today is Wynton Kelly's 80th birthday anniversary. As an accompanist, Kelly made Dinah Washington, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley , Cannonball Adderley and other jazz greats sound even better, and he made recordings of his own beginning with his Blue Note debut in 1951 at age 19. Kelly's strong beat and bluesy lyricism were hallmarks of a style that was showcased in Miles Davis's Quintet between 1959 and '63. Wynton tends to be eclipsed in the annals of Miles by the pianists who preceded and succeeded him, Bill Evans and Herbie Hancock, but he helped define a Davis era that spelled great tunes and infectious swing. He also lent his name to Wynton Marsalis, whose father Ellis knew and admired Kelly.
I never saw Kelly in person, but I got a good sense of the man at the IAJE conference in Toronto in 2003 where a panel discussion was devoted to his life and legacy. Jimmy Heath and his brother Tootie, Jimmy Cobb, Larry Ridley, and a young woman from Melbourne, Australia whose Master's thesis focused on WK, offered lively and humorous recollections that brought the Jamaican-born pianist to life. By all accounts, Kelly enjoyed having a good time, and he stayed rooted to the Brooklyn neighborhood where he was raised. His manner, like his playing, was highly agreeable.
Sadly, Toronto was where Kelly died in 1971 at age 39 during an epileptic siezure. There isn't much of the pianist to be seen on film, but here's a choice clip of John Coltrane accompanied by Wynton, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, who worked as a trio after leaving Miles in 1963.
We'll hear more of Wynton Kelly's music in tonight's Jazz a la Mode.

Is there any special preparation required for breastfeeding?Education about the benefits and practice of breastfeeding are keys to optimal preparation. Your local hospital may offer breastfeeding classes as part of the childbirth class, or you can join your local La Leche League or other breastfeeding support group. These classes can put you in touch with a lactation specialist who may later be your personal breastfeeding consultant. These classes can also help you to learn proper positioning and latch-on techniques. Contrary to some popular beliefs, it is not necessary to stimulate or prepare the nipples in advance for breastfeeding. Moreover, some techniques of stimulating the nipples may actually be harmful. No specific physical preparation is necessary for optimal breastfeeding. General good health measures and adequate hydration are helpful measures. Most doctors recommend continuing basic prenatal vitamins while breastfeeding. When can breastfeeding begin?Breastfeeding can begin within minutes after birth for most babies. Most babies take a few licks or sucks and then pause at the beginning. Frequent bursts of sucking interrupted by pauses is the usual pattern for the first few hours and sometimes even the first few days. The first milk the mother produces, called colostrum, is the best food for a newborn. The nipple stimulation that occurs during breastfeeding also helps the uterus contract and can help stop uterine bleeding. When a baby begins to open its eyes, look around, and put his or her fist into his or her mouth, then it is time to offer your breast. Breastfeeding experts recommend that the baby not be given sugar water or other types of bottle feedings in the hospital unless specifically prescribed by the doctor.

Emad Burnat, a farmer from the Palestinian village of Bil'in, famously chose nonviolent resistance several years ago when the Israeli army arrived to facilitate Jewish colonization. The destruction of five family cameras are potent metaphors in a deeply personal documentary (Burnat shares director/writer/producer credit) that vividly portrays a conflict many of us think we know.
Jim and Dave, two brothers who don't like each other very much, are forced to come together when their dad dies in Kansas City. Dave is pretty sure he has an Alonzo Mourning Skybox Series rookie card, but Jim has other ideas.
A contemporary re-imagining of the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr explores the idea of history as a contested narrative.
What if you could hire a substitute to 'stand in' for your recently deceased loved one? What kind of people would perform such a macabre task? What might result from both the surrogates and the grief stricken within fabricated scenarios? In his absurdist tragedy, ALPS, Yorgos Lanthimos takes a mordant and modernist approach to answering those questions.
Professional sports continues to morph into a casual wealthy man's pursuit, though the common fan is as rabid a consumer of sports than ever. AMERICA's PARKING LOT personalizes—and for Texas audiences, localizes—the shift by telling the story of Dallas Cowboys superfans Tiger and Cy, two Texas Stadium tailgaters who have to make hard decisions about the boundaries of their support when the 'Boys' $1.2 billion new home opens. First-time director Jonny Mars uses footage from four years of hard-core football partying, suffering and rebirth to show us what it truly means to take ownership of your passions.
Touring is the lifeblood of most musicians, but it makes Andrew Bird sick. Literally. ANDREW BIRD: FEVER YEAR tracks the frail, folksy, borderline genius indie popster's insane road and creative life, interspersed with pristine footage from a show at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. More than just a biopic of the quirky Bird, Xan Aranda's film is a rich and poetic document of the dedication and philosophy of modern independent musicianship.
