I really like this foundation.
Was using Face and Body before, but was looking for something with slightly higher coverage, but not full, so I decided to try Pro Longwear.
There´s a lot of shades on the market, so it wasn´t a problem to pick one for my very light skintone.
The foundation is a bit runny, but it is kinda hard to apply, you have to work fast. Even though I have a very light shade, I can´t really build the coverage - on builded spots it oxidizes and gets a lot darker making the imperfection more visible. It has a very nice finish, it´s not matte and it´s not as dewy as the Face and body, it looks very natural and nice. I don´t need to use setting powder with this one, it lasts perfectly all day looking as good as in the morning.
The packaging is not perfect, I like the fact, that it goes with a pump, but the pump is a bit messy and it´s moving all the time. The price could be also better, but one bottle lasts for a really long time (9 months or so).
Overall, I really like this foundation as the finish is super natural and it lasts all day.

For the past year I've been on the hunt for the perfect foundation for me - a foundation that's like my skin only better - this is it for me. I've spent a fortune trying out all the most popular ones: Giorgio Armani luminous silk, Giorgio Armani maestro, Chanel Aqua Vitalumiere, Bareminerals, YSL le teint. This is perfect for me. So natural and easy to blend. I love it. So glad I found it! :-)

I was previously using Benefit Oxygen Wow which was dreadful on my combination skin. This is the best Matte foundation I have ever used... No shine to wipe away all day!! Does soak into pores a little but provides full coverage and does so without being cakey.. Perfect. I do however agree, it does soak into fine lines I never noticed I had without make up!
I'd been searching all over for a foundation that lasts all day. This was one in many that I tried. The finish is nice, not too drying. A few times I wore this I got compliments (no one ever seems to compliment my make up) so that was nice. One young woman went as far as so say it looked like I had no make up on, just great skin.
The only issue for me is the lasting power. Its no better than any other foundation I have tried. I couldn't decide if I should chose yes or no to buying again. On one hand, the compliments are nice - but on the other the lasting power is not good (on me no more than 3-4 hours). I also think the reason this looks good on me is the color. It has just enough yellow to flatter my skin tone. One note - I wear NC35 in Studio Fix, C4 in Face and Body, NC37 in one other Mac foundation (can't remember which) but an NC 30 in this. It seems to me the colors run dark.
The best thing I can say is that the color match was spot on. However, it slides into my wrinkles and makes them more noticeable no matter how much I use, how it's applied and, which primer is underneath. Disappointing, to say the least and, I will NOT repurchase.
Great foundation one of my favourite mac foundations lasts all day would definitely recommend pro long wear !
I first bought this in NC20 as it had been a good summer and i was a little darker than usual. I re ordered this twice more in this shade then realised it was time for me to use NC15 (winter) . Though it says otherwise on the website, I would definitely say this foundation provides medium to buildable coverage. It completely evens out my skin tone and covers all minor blemishes. It takes a good 5 minutes to dry. Without powder it gives a dewy finish after a few hours, a tiny bit shiny but not in a greasy way, it looks healthy. I don't have naturally oily skin. With powder the foundation last a little longer and has fuller coverage.
If I apply this foundation 8am with a full face of makeup it lasts me all day and if I'm going out at night I usually just touch up the powder. Amazingly long lasting.
After reading the great reviews here, I rushed off to MAC yesterday and bought this foundation. I walked out of the store feeling guilty as I've still got half a bottle left of my Studio Fix Fluid (my go-to foundation).
I applied this around 7:30am this morning and I checked my face around 1pm today. Wow! Usually, I will have an oily t-zone around this time. To my pleasant surprise, my t-zone did not look like I had splashed olive oil on my face. There was a slight sheen (and I mean oh so slight) but the foundation was still intact, hadn't' budged and looking pretty good if I do say so myself. Also, I stepped out of the office today to do some shopping, walked for about 20 minutes and had a hot curry for lunch (which always makes my face sweat). But after all of that, I still look like a fresh faced baby! Okay, not quite, but still pretty good!
It is a mild day in Melbourne, Australia but I will definitely update when the temperature starts going up again.
In regards to foundation application, I am light handed. I use a sponge to apply my foundation (I know, old-school) but I press it into the skin and then apply my Kryolan translucent powder over the top. I am a powder over foundation kinda gal so for those who apply foundation alone, I can't tell you how well this will last.
The finish is semi-matte, the coverage light to medium. It is easier to blend that Studio Fix Fluid as it doesn't dry as fast. I would recommend this for combination to oily skin. Drier skin may struggle with this foundation.
I am impressed!
Overall, I would recommend this foundation and would definitely buy again!

I did love this at first, but the more I wore it, the more I started to dislike it. I don't know if my skin changed or something, but it started looking really heavy and cakey on my face. It is just an ok, average foundation and I would only recommend it to someone who is looking for something with a lot of coverage and doesn't mind looking like they have a lot of makeup on.

I like this foundation because it really lasts all day/night. However, i think that it is harder to blend then other foundations and it doesnt go on that smooth. also its a little to heavy for an everyday make up.

Some startling news out of 'Good Morning America.'
The U.S. economy, which has been slogging through a long, slow, tepid recovery for years following the Great Recession of 2007-2009, showed several positive signs this week, including higher-than-expected jobs numbers and GDP growth.

Green Day's front man Billie Joe Armstrong is entering rehab for substance abuse ... a rep for the band tells TMZ.
The news comes just two days after Armstrong went ballistic in Vegas during a performance at the iHeart Radio Music Festival. He was videotaped screaming obscenities, slamming Justin Bieber and violently smashing his guitar on-stage.
The band's rep tells TMZ, "Green day wants to apologize to those they offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas."
The rep adds, "The band regretfully must postpone some of their upcoming promotional appearances."
Billie, what happened bro? All these years you've been cool now this? Get to work man, put this **** in your rear view mirror.
Rehab? He doesn't need rehab! That was the most awesome Rock moment of the past 5 years! Billie needs more of what he is taking!
must be upset he's washed up
MOM!!!!!!!!!! someone called me a justin beiber!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (smashes gituar) WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
"Green day wants to apologize to those they offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas."
How punk rock... Go die already.
i love green day... sort of a modern-day version of the Clash. Having said that... i watched Billy Joe being interviewed by Bill Maher a while back and good grief the guy was clearly stoned out of his gourd. He couldn't finish a sentence or a thought and Bill didn't really know where to go with it, LOL which is funny since he's such a stoner himself.
Call me cynical, but........don't they have a new album coming out shortly? Any publicity is good publicity.....just sayin.......
Rock and "F*cking" Roll!!
The music industry is saturated with no talent wannabe's! If it weren't autotune the Biebers and the rest would not exist!
The industry is suffering big time due to a lack of TRUE musicianship. No one plays instruments anymore and you cannot classify a laptop or a turntable as a musical instrument.
Rock On Billy Joe!!!!
A stage meltdown. What are the odds you'll get one of those just for the price of a ticket?!
Could you use a less annoying noise than that high frequency "beep" if you must censor audio. It's more offensive than the swearing.
Are we so PC now that cursing and guitar smashing at a rock concert needs an apology? F that, but get well soon, Billie Joe.
I thought it was part of the act...especially since there were two idots destroying guitars.
Bet he'll already be out of rehab when September ends.
That was one of the funniest, entertaining set of any band ever. Billie Joe was pissed that the crowd was so dead. That's what happens when IHeart monopolizes the show and makes it in a small venue where nose-bleed tix are over $300/each. Why in the hell would they have sorry @ss Usher go over his time and cut their set WAY short. He reminds me of when I used to drink a lot and take vicodin at the same time. When you get pissed, you get even angrier when agitated...WTG Billie...even if you were loaded....it was Rock N Roll history and your rant kicked MAJOR ASS!!
A rep of the band told me too. On their web site:

The Big 12 leads all college basketball conferences this year, with seven teams participating in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. Four other conferences – the Atlantic 10, Atlantic Coast, Big Ten and Pac-12 – have an even dozen teams in the Big Dance this season.
Only one other time since the Big 12 was formed in 1996 have as many as seven teams received bids to the NCAA Men's Tournament – in 2010, when Kansas (1), Kansas State (2), Baylor (3), Texas A&M (5), Oklahoma State (7), Texas (8) and Missouri (10) went dancing. By and large,
Big 12 teams have done well in the tournament. The best year for the Big 12 in the NCAA Tournament was 2003, when six teams collectively went 14-6 and No. 1 seed Texas and two-seed Kansas advanced all the way to the Final Four and Oklahoma was among the Elite Eight.
Here are a dozen more Big 12 milestones to take note of from the conference's participation in the NCAA Basketball Tournament:
- The Big 12 has had a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament 10 times. Kansas has earned a No. 1 seed eight times in the 18 year-history of the Big 12, Oklahoma and Texas have been a No. 1 once each.
- Former Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen holds the Big 12 single-game scoring record in an NCAA Tournament game, scoring 38 in 2011 against Wisconsin. Pullen also owns the third most points in a game, with 34 in 2010 vs. BYU.
- Eight different Kansas Jayhawks have been named to Final Four All-Tournament teams: Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor in 2011, Mario Chalmers, Darrell Arthur and Brandon Rush in the Jayhawks 2008 championship year and Nick Collison, Nick Hinrich and Keith Langford in 2003.
- Only three Big 12 champions have made it as far as the Final Four: Oklahoma lost in the national semifinals in 2002, Oklahoma State lost in the national semifinals in 2004 and Kansas won the national championship in 2008.
- Kansas has the highest winning percentage (.719) and the most NCAA Tournament wins (41) in the Big 12 era.
- Excluding newcomers West Virginia and TCU, Texas Tech has played in the fewest NCAA Tournament games (7 over three years).
- Three different players hold the record for rebounds in a single NCAA Tournament game: Cole Aldrich (2009) and Drew Gooden (2002) of Kansas and Jared Homan (2005) of Iowa State, each with 20 rebounds.
- T.J. Ford of Texas had 13 assists in a tournament game in 2003, the most by a Big 12 player. Doug Gottlieb of Oklahoma State had 12 in both 1999 and 2000 and 11 in 1999.
- Six Big 12 teams have made 20 or more appearances all-time in the NCAA Tournament, and all six have winning tournament records: Kansas (43 appearances, 91-45), (Texas 31, 34-33), Oklahoma (28, 36-27), Kansas State (28, 33-31), Oklahoma State 26, 38-23) and West Virginia (26, 25-25).
- Sherron Collins of Kansas had a record eight steals in a tournament game in 2009.
- Jeff Withey (2012) and Cole Aldrich (2009) of Kansas each had 10 blocked shots in an NCAA Tournament game.
- In 2003, both Texas and Oklahoma were No. 1 seeds in the tournament and Kansas was a No. 2 seed.

What kind of egg?
- JungMann Mar 28, 2008 10:18 AM
Gourmet is running an interesting story on the varied eggs people eat around the world. I might be an adventurous eater, but even in New York it seems I have very limited access to exotic ova other than hen, duck, fish and quail. What kind of eggs have you tried in your travels?
I poached pheasant eggs from the Union Square farmers market on Saturday for lunch - wonderful flavor to the yolk.
Whoo hoo!! I had penguin egg when I was in the Falkland Islands. It's legal to eat eggs from one variety of penguins that live there. It was hard-boiled and quite large. My mom was gagging just looking at it, but there wasn't anything particularly strange about it. Looked like an egg, tasted like egg, with a little extra fishy flavor in the yolk. Nothing to freak out about MOM!
re: ipsedixit
There were turkey eggs for sale last Wednesday at the SM farmers' market. They are large, beige-ey and specked. The vendor said they're his favorite eggs--very rich!
re: mnosyne
Ive used turkey, duck, goose and even emu eggs from a local farmer who raises emu.
re: Kelli2006
I once had really good emu ribs.
What does an emu egg tastelike? And, how in the world do you eat such a large egg??? Did you make an omelette for a small town? :-)
re: ipsedixit
I used the emu egg to make a soufflé. The egg was very rich with a yolk that was blindingly orange.
I ate emu once and it had a bit of the gamy taste of wild duck, but it wasn't as fatty. It would be closest to pheasant or maybe wild turkey.
re: Kelli2006
Approximately how large is an emu egg? Am I right in guessing you only used one for an entire souffle?
re: diablo
They are about 3lbs, and that 1 egg was more then enough.
Beside chicken,then there is duck and goose which are great and so rich.... And then quail, which is pretty, but not my thing.
Sea gull eggs poached in a fish stew when I was a kid.. fishy in fishy. Turkey egg omelets and French toast.. just a wee bit chewier than hen's egg. Duck eggs all the time for baking.. they give a great loft to a cake. Yummy little quail eggs in lots of things.. Home grown free-range hens eggs (in browns, tans, and blues) every day.
We had a friend who raised peacock some years ago and gave us a peacock (well, pea hen, I guess) egg that ended up making a very nice omelet. Somewhat more flavorful than a hen's egg, but not greatly different.
Duck in balut form (18 day embryo) in the Philippines and Vietnam, quail, dove (gathered as kids long ago), guinea hen (Amazon), pheasant.
Japanese eat eggs of almost all fish, so tarako (cod fish egg), salmon roe, tobiko, shishamo (the tiny silver fish with tons of eggs in the belly), any sort of fish that Japanese cuisine uses, I have probably tried the eggs. Then there are of course caviars of sturgeons, and other types of fish.
Chinese, on the other hand, like to leverage all kinds of poultry eggs. I have tried eggs of chicken, black chicken, duck, goose, squab/pigeon, quail, pheasant, guinea hen, ostrich, etc. Also the unfertilized chicken eggs. I also have a lot of shares of Chinese thousand year eggs and salty preserved eggs, both usually made from duck eggs and sometimes goose eggs or even quail eggs.
I haven't had a chance to try emu egg, so I am wondering if it is very different from ostrich egg. I actualy had been offer turtle eggs, swan eggs, and duck balut (Vietnam), but I didn't try because I love turtle and swans and quite get pass the idea of eating feather with the eggs....
Gosh, don't know if I can remember all of the different kinds of eggs I've eaten, but let's give it a shot...
Chicken, turkey, duck, goose, pheasant, peafowl, ostrich, emu, quail, pigeon (dove), finch, partridge, salmon, beluga sturgeon, some sort of "lumpfish," sea urchin, and lots of taramosalata. And I think, but am not absolutely certain, parrot eggs.
If you're wondering about the great variety of bird eggs, as a teen close family friends owned a huge exotic bird farm, and Margaret loved feeding me eggs and having me guess what kind they were. I wasn't right all that often unless it was a second tasting.

China, the world's second-biggest oil consumer, reduced fuel prices for the third time since May after crude tumbled, easing costs for factories and motorists while threatening profit margins at refiners.
The maximum at which gasoline can be sold at the pump fell by 420 yuan ($66) a metric ton starting today and diesel slid by 400 yuan, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement on its website yesterday. The cuts represent a reduction of as much as 4.8 percent, according to Bloomberg calculations based on average retail rates across the country.
Falling oil costs have allowed China, which imports more than half its crude, to reduce fuel rates as its economy cools. The government may say this week that gross domestic product in the second quarter expanded at the slowest pace since 2009, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists. The cuts are eroding margins at China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (600028), or Sinopec, and PetroChina Co., the nation's biggest crude processors, according to Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
"The result of the third consecutive fuel-price cut in two months will be to push refining margins back into negative territory which is clearly not good for refiners," Neil Beveridge, an oil and gas analyst at Bernstein in Hong Kong, said in a note e-mailed today. "Although Sinopec has underperformed since the first quarter and is now in deep value territory, we see no clear catalysts in the near term."
Share Prices
Sinopec slid 1.2 percent in Hong Kong yesterday after the official Xinhua News Agency reported the price cut, without specifying the size. It fell 0.2 percent to HK$6.42 at 10:03 a.m. today and is down 21 percent this year. PetroChina dropped 1.6 percent to HK$9.34 and has fallen 3.4 percent in 2012. The benchmark Hang Seng index, down 0.6 percent, has gained 4.6 percent since Dec. 31.
The fuel-price reductions returned costs at the pump to levels last seen in December 2010. The ceiling for 90-RON, China III gasoline in Beijing fell to 9,100 yuan a ton, or $4.09 a U.S. gallon, according to the NDRC data. The China III specification is similar to the Euro III fuel standard. The NDRC, China's top economic planner, also cut tariffs on May 10 and June 9.
Brent, a benchmark grade that China uses to gauge oil- processing costs, averaged $95.93 a barrel in June, the first time the mean price fell below $100 a barrel since January 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Futures for August were at $98.38 in London today and have slumped 23 percent since this year's intraday peak on March 1.
Price Reforms
Gasoline and diesel prices are set by the NDRC under a system that tracks the 22-day moving average of a basket of crudes comprising Brent, Dubai and Indonesia's Cinta. The government may change fuel rates when the measure falls more than 4 percent from the last adjustment. The NDRC said yesterday the criteria for price changes were met on July 9.
The nation is waiting for an "appropriate time" to revise its price mechanism, Zhou Wangjun, the deputy director of the pricing department at the NDRC said in a webcast by Xinhua on April 26. The system will be implemented when global oil prices are "relatively low," he said.
China's economy may have expanded 7.7 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, down from 8.1 percent in the prior three months, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists before data due July 13. That would be the slowest pace of growth since the first three months of 2009.

Panthera group's effort to preserve jaguars lauded
Georgetown, GINA, November 24, 2012
The efforts of the Panthera Group to launch a Jaguar Corridor initiative in Guyana, was welcomed this evening at a simple ceremony at the Cara Lodge in Georgetown by Protected Areas Commission, Commissioner Damian Fernandes.
Addressing a group of special invitees which included conservationists and government officials, Fernandes noted that Guyana is the fourth country to sign the agreement which seeks to preserve the habitat of the world's third largest cat and South America's apex land predator.
Chief Executive Officer of Panthera, Alan Robinowitz, offered a brief insight as to how the efforts began in the 1970s to preserve the world's big cats and spoke of his initial efforts in Belize to create the first protected area for the jaguar in 1984. This move transformed that country, which now derives a major part of its revenue from eco- tourism.
He said that the jaguar is fortunate compared to lions and tigers which are severely threatened with extinction. He noted that Guyana's position is commendable as it is in a position to balance the preservation of the animal with human development. Referring to many of the recently discovered diseases which threaten mankind due to contact with wildlife, Robinowitz said that predators such as the jaguar play a key role in keeping the shield between wildlife borne diseases and human, intact.
Earlier today representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (NRE) and United States (US)-headquartered Panthera Corporation, the world's leading wild cat conservation group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which formally paves the way for Guyana's participation in the International Jaguar Corridor Initiative.
"Much of the initial work under the MOU will focus on research, education, and identifying opportunities for Jaguar conservation and related tourism initiatives," the ministry said in a statement.
Under the MOU, Panthera will be providing technical and scientific expertise on conservation priorities, Jaguar movement models and other resources aimed at facilitating long-term benefits to local stakeholders, and Guyana as a whole.
The MOU will also provide a solid foundation for new initiatives to understand and mitigate conflicts between humans and Jaguars. These initiatives may include grants for local researchers and research institutions. The MOU provides a framework for research and surveys on the Jaguar, public education on the behaviours of these large cats, and the examination of economic opportunities associated with jaguar conservation.
The Jaguar Corridor Initiative is a plan to conserve jaguars and work with both protected and non-protected areas to ensure that people and wildlife can co-exist.

Happy Earth Day!
Today I teamed up with Casa Noble Tequila from Santana to celebrate Earth Day! What better way to celebrate a glorious day but with a fresh fruit and Casa Noble Crystal Tequila? Today's drink is a wonderful light, summery drink that will please any Mango lover out there. Let me introduce to you my Skinny Mango Margarita.
This margarita is so light, refreshing and has the perfect balance of sweetness with the perfect mango flavor. I also added freshly squeezed orange juice to give it a nice light, sweet citrus touch. This margarita, I have to admit is probably one of my favorites next to the strawberry. It's just amazing and Casa Noble Silver Tequila is the perfect tequila for my margarita.
I made my margarita with fresh mango that I froze, freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed lime juice and just a pinch of powdered sugar to add a little bit of sweetness without going over board. I think you will like it as much as I do.
A light, refreshing, sweet, low calorie mango flavored margarita.
- 1 cup frozen diced mango
- 2 tbsp lime juice, fresh
- 2 tbsp. orange juice
- 1 oz tequila
- 1/2 tbsp. powdered sugar (more to taste)
- 1/2 cup ice
- Add all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

With five South Philly members on his team, improv director Mike Marbach guides audiences through a completely original horror/sci-fi thriller.
"I do perform with The Deans, a group of the instructors. I also do an homage to 'The Tonight Show' with Johnny Carson," Marbach said, adding the next performance of "Here's Johnny" will be immediately following 'B Movie' at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 20. at The Shubin.
That same day — Oct. 20 — will be Philly Improv Theater's monthly free workshop, running from 3 to 5 p.m. for people who don't know what to expect when taking an improv class. Marbach stresses that improv theater is an escape for anyone and everyone, not just aspiring comics. However, people are always invited to sit back and watch the professionals at one of the upcoming shows of "B-Movie."
"You're really not going to see something like this anywhere else in Philadelphia. You can go to the theater or rent something on Netflix, but you'll never have the experience of discovering something for the first time and something that will not be seen again," Marbach said. "It's made for the people there that night. It's the opening and closing of that particular show.
"The audience is a special part of that. We are in it together. We feed off of them and they feed off of us. And that's a beautiful thing."

Nuclear Waste:
DOE Assistance in Funding Route Improvements to Waste Isolation Plant
RCED-92-65FS: Published: Jan 14, 1992. Publicly Released: Jan 24, 1992.

- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on whether the Department of Energy (DOE) has fulfilled its agreements with New Mexico to assist it in obtaining federal funds to improve roads in connection with the DOE Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).
GAO found that: (1) since 1981, DOE has agreed to support the state in obtaining $100 million in federal funds to improve existing state roads to WIPP, and $190 million for construction of new relief routes so that nuclear waste on the way to the facility would bypass population centers; (2) New Mexico has received $54.4 million in federal funds from the Department of Transportation for improvements to existing roads; (3) the state has not received any of the $190 million for new relief routes; (4) DOE has proposed providing New Mexico with up to $605 million over a period of 32 years, in lieu of the $190 million; (5) Congress has appropriated $20 million for the state to mitigate economic impacts in 1992; (6) the Department of the Interior granted DOE preliminary permission to store toxic material at the proposed site, but the state does not wish to allow toxic materials at the site until federal legislation is enacted; and (7) the Senate has passed a bill that would allow radioactive waste at the site, withdraw the land, and authorize $20 million annually for New Mexico during the testing and operating phases and $13 million annually during WIPP decommissioning, but similar legislation has not passed in the House.

Lexus gets new boss, and he's a designer
February 27, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Lexus , Toyota , Design/Style A reshuffle in the uppermost ranks of Lexus could see the Japanese luxury brand further energize its recent focus on design. Tokuo Fukuichi, Toyota's global design boss, is the new head of Lexus International. Fukuichi will retain his role as the overall head of design for Toyota , Lexus and Scion , and will assume his new position at the head of Lexus and on its board on April 1 (no fooling). This is going to be an interesting move for fans of design to watch, as Fukuichi has repeatedly been mentioned as a designer that enjoys pushing the envelope and experimenting. He is, after all, the man responsible for designing the most awesomely odd minivan of the 1990s, the mid-engined, rear-drive Toyota Previa, and more recently, he signed off on the controversial Lexus LF-NX concept , which is said to presage a new production small crossover. "Regarding changes in design, no one has 100 percent confidence," Fukuichi told Forbes back in January 2013. "No one can really say with pure certainty that, 'In two years, this will sell well.'" As Akio Toyoda continues to demand more assertive, edgier designs, it's that point of view that should make Fukuichi a valuable addition to Lexus, as it continues to challenge the competition from Germany. Fukuichi replaces Kiotaka Ise, who will become the chief officer at Toyota Research and Development, according to Automotive News .

Equal parts punk and psychedelia, the Flaming Lips emerged from Oklahoma City as one of the most bracing bands of the late 1980's. The Fearless Freaks documents their rise from Butthole Surfers-imitating noisemakers to grand poobahs of orchestral pop masterpieces. Filmmaker Bradley Beesely had the good fortune of living in the same neighborhood as lead Lip Wayne Coyne, who quickly enlisted his buddy to document his band's many concerts and assorted exploits. The early footage is a riot, with tragic hair styles on proud display as the boys attempt to cover up their lack of natural talent with sheer volume. During one show, they even have a friend bring a motorcycle on stage, which is then miked for sound and revved throughout the performance, clearing the club with toxic levels of carbon monoxide. Great punk rock stuff. Interspersed among the live bits are interviews with the band's family and friends, revealing the often tragic circumstances of their childhoods and early career. By the time the film reaches the late '90s, Coyne's band has witnessed a number of personnel changes, most notably the introduction of drummer and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd. It's here that the Flaming Lips begin their ascent into greatness. Fueled by the alt-pop hit "She Don't Use Jelly," the band enters an era of intense experimentation, conducting a symphony for car stereos in a parking garage, releasing a 4-disc album meant to be played simultaneously, and embarking on the creation of their first masterpiece, The Soft Bulletin. Sadly, Steven Drozd's demons keep pace with the band's success. In an incredibly heartbreaking scene, Drozd talks frankly about his addiction while preparing to shoot heroin. Fortunately, Drozd kicks his habit as the Lips enter the studio for their follow-up, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and the film ends with the band enjoying widespread acclaim as they deliver one extravagant show after another. There are some conspicuous absences in this tale, notably their weird and lucky break appearing on '80s teen drama Beverly Hills 90210 and their tour as openers and backing band for Beck. The bonus disc includes some cool outtakes and performances, but unfortunately none of the band's vibrant music videos. -- Ryan Boudinot
This is a German car?
It's very sturdy.
It's a very safe car - a very safe car, and I'm an excellent driver. I've never been in an accident - well at least not while behind the wheel. But even strapped in to all of this marvelous technology of the reenforced doors and roof - we could still get crushed.
