This is the 2nd version of the Queen of Batons. I liked the first one but wasn't completely happy with it. I found the first one to be too uncontrolled, which makes no sense for a dada piece. But these are the arguments I have with myself. Is dada completely spontaneous? That is one school of thought. Some artist would throw scraps of paper on a board, however it landed would be the collage. That extreme spontaneity was the real dada. Other artist would be more methodical and it was the subject that was "dadistic" (is that a word? it is now) not the process.
I sort of try both version, but dada collages have a certain traditional look ( and boy if that sentence isn't full of contradictions) and I'm trying to invoke that more and more. Although most of my pieces are probadly created the first way. LOL.
I kept a lot of the same elements from the first version. It was more of arrangement than anything elsa.

text: Hi everyone. I am very sensitive to electromagnetic and radiofrequency radiation and most electronic/"computerey" devices stress my nerves out, tend to make me angry/combative and leave me unreasonably tired all the time, and for this reason I sadly can't really use computers and the like on a long-term/consistent basis (despite my interest in and aptitude for technology in general) if I want to avoid these issues, which are irritatingly consistent in their occurance. This has been a big problem for me for some time particularly with regard to communication: I've frequently needed to be able to communicate ad-hoc with my family when they and/or I need to split up for whatever reason, but because of my sensitivity, even a basic cell phone would not work for me long-term to the fact that the cellular radio network is by design "always on" and thus always transceiving (see very end of post for more details). This issue has had me scratching my head for a few years now, a little while ago I came up with a possible solution. About a year ago I found an Ericsson Mobile Companion PDA-type device in an op-shop, and grabbed it thinking I might find it of historical interest at some future point in time when I might be "fixed", fully expecting it to tire me out (or worse) if I tinkered with it. Happily, though, as I tentatively then more confidently used it for longer and longer, I was surprised to find I suffered no ill effects as a result of using it. (Note that the device incorporates a web browser and email program, but actual radio connectivity was originally accomplished via an IrDA connection to a compatible cell phone.) As one of the first "computerey" devices I think I can actually use on a consistent basis without problems and which does not seem to fatigue my nervous system, which is abnormally sensitive to practically everything electronic for some as yet unfortunately unknown reason, this PDA has opened up a world of possibility to me. It may not surprise you to hear that I actually typed this post on it... but I had to transfer it to a PC via a CompactFlash card in order to actually post it. Wi-Fi connectivity, which I know from experience I am okay with for very short intervals, would be a real boon to have: I not only wouldn't need a full computer to be able to browse the Web, but most importantly, I'd be able to employ the growing myriad of free Wi-Fi hotspots in urban centres to connect to some kind of chat or communication system. This idea might sound like something insignificant in this day and age, but it would be revolutionary for me. Sadly, however, I have one major concern about my MC218 which leaves me very reluctant to try and get Wi-Fi working on it (although I *probably* could find a way, thanks to the fact that it seems to run Linux (2.4) reasonably well): durability. This PDA is almost freakishly delicate. I read shortly after finding it that the LCD ribbon cable on the Psion Series 5 (which the MC218 is a licened clone of) - which is is flexed every open/close cycle - has an artifiially limited lifespan due to a silly manufacturing design decision, and since I've no idea if I'm susceptible I try to leave the lid/screen open whenever I can, and I am particularly careful with the device in general, but despite these efforts - and the fact that this device was actually in practically as-new condition when I found it - over the few months I've had it, the case, which is made of very solid-looking but thin, brittle plastic, has cracked in about 5 or so places, the most disasterous being the entire screen-hinge-foldback mechanism (which I managed to fix with thin wire hidden inside the chassis, so thankfully I can still close the lid perfectly if I need to), and the DC power input socket (thankfully it has one!) has recently started to play up as well (I think it's at the beginning stages of coming unsoldered ). I guess this is to be expected of a 13 year old device though. So with fixes in tow, this PDA is still puttering along, but I'm on a (slightly urgent!) quest to find PDA 2.0, something as electronically identical as possible to my current device but with a slightly tougher, more rugged design and which I can *somehow* cram Wi-Fi connectivity into, if it's not already on board. Additionally, it needs to be self-contained enough that I don't need a computer (or a perpetual Wi-Fi connection to one - I did say "short intervals" before, meaning a few minutes or so) to maintain the device and (of paramount importance!) write apps for it like I can with the BASIC-like OPL programming environment on my current PDA (which is IMHO its awesomest feature and star attraction). Ideally this would be an on-device C compiler....I can hope (and I really do). I've done some digging to see what's out there that might fit, but Google isn't particularly good at abstract/horizontal/categorical searches like "find really slow devices that have had Linux - or something just as relevant and flexible - hacked onto them regardless of what OS they officially run" (or shortened search phraseology thereof), and so far I have been presented with PDAs and gadgets which are ~70MHz but only run Linux 2.3 and are highly likely incapable of having Wi-Fi added; run Linux 2.6 and are freakishly obsessed with 300MHz+ CPUs (meep), color screens (meh) and some form of accelerated graphics processing (nooooo); or which are 75MHz, run Linux 2.4 and incorporate Wi-Fi but only work (driver-wise) with a commercial Linux environment (ack!) and which would be particularly fruity to hack a touchscreen and battery onto. *Give up* *Formulate post* *Locate likely-looking forums* *Submit* I've also found that most of the things I've seen which I did consider for a moment or two often don't seem exist anymore or are inaccessible to buy today. Thus, I'm particularly interested to hear from people who remember and/or have experience with specific, obscure/unorthodox/out-of-the-way, not-so-simple-to-find devices which might work out for my requirements. In other words, I want to hack something together. So... my current PDA's specs, and PDA 2.0's requirements: CPU: this MC218 is powered by a 36.864MHz - yes, I just said 36MHz - ARM710T (arm4vl class) CPU, and my next PDA cannot be much faster than that - I'm thinking 60MHz, tops. Yeeah. RAM: I currently have 16MB of RAM to play with which continually dukes it out with an interna OS-juggled RAMdisk. I'd like 32MB at least for my next device, and ideally 48MB+ which would let me start thinking about basic on-device C compilation, but I draw the line at 8MB-16MB. Storage: Despite the fact that it would have probably cost $80,000 at the time, this PDA actually works absolutely fine with the 2GB CompactFlash card I tentatively bought for it (!). Thus, I'm currently comfortable (well, sorta) with 2GB of storage, but at the very least I need 256-512MB for user data (ie, not counting OS storage requirements), considering I can probably store/archive/access most everything else I'll need using Wi-Fi. LCD: I currently have a backlit, touchscreen, monochrome LCD to poke at and play with, which the ARM710T directly drives, GPUlessly, in either 4- (typically) or (at most) 16-greyscale mode. I would very much like a backlight in PDA 2.0, and I am neutral on whether it is monochrome or color, but... (see next) GPU: The device cannot have a GPU in it, since I've found myself to be particularly sensitive to these on multiple occasions. No exceptions. RTC: An onboard RTC is vital so the device can (with the obvious exception of the RTC) sit completely in standby/sleep mode - the only state in which I'll accept having it in my pocket long-term - and periodically wake up every 20-45 minutes to check for new messages. My current PDA also has "instant-on": both Symbian EPOC 1.05 (its native OS) and Linux "wake up" when I press the On key to whatever I was looking at when I put the device to sleep, and this would be a nice (and very practical) finishing touch to RTC wakeup, and make the message-check process much quicker too. Keyboard: I love the keyboard on my current MC218, despite the fact that to type this sentence correctly I had to press Backspace approximately 12 times. I think a keyboard would be nice, particularly since PDA 2.0 will justify its place in the budget as a communication facilitator, but a physical keyboard is... not *totally* essential :/ (But it will of course need a touchscreen if it has no keyboard!) Wi-Fi: 802.11a APs are already few and far between, and -b and -g will eventually disappear as well as more and more 802.11n- and -ac-only units come online. Ideally I want to be compatible with everything - especially -ac since I then won't have to worry about upgrading for years, if it should come to that - but I draw the line at at least b and g, and preferably b, g and n. Alerts/notifications: Some kind of audial and/or vibrating alert mechanism is *slightly* neccessary so I know when new messages come in (!), but it doesn't have to be fancy: a single-tone beeper would suffice at the very (funky) minimum, although something capable of (even basic) PCM playback would definitely be a plus. Battery (life): If I hadn't built a little (linear - no SMPS for me!) 6V PSU for this PDA, I'd have gone insane eons ago with how it chews through a standard pair of AA batteries in around ~20 hours (I use it continually continually xD). Rechargeable battery(s) would be very nice, but aren't totally necessary. See my problem? This is by far one of the trickiest, most difficult questions I've ever asked on/of a forum, and while I have absolutely nooo idea what you'll all come up with, I'm open-minded, and am certainly looking forward to your responses and ideas. I'm not beyond building this device myself, but it does still need to be able to fit in my pocket Due to the fact that I don't have this device right now I won't be able to check this thread particularly frequently (catch 22!), although I will try to poke my head in at most a week or so from now. -i336 PS for anyone who might raise the issue of cellular radiation vs. Wi-Fi radiation: From an RF testing perspective, AFAIK most tests measure Wi-Fi radiation at a few meters, and cell radiation (from the tower, not the phone!) quite a bit further away, so of course the cellular radiation levels in such tests always measure lower. Just what I've heard. At the end of the day, a cellular solution would *probably* actually work out okay from a RF sensitivity perspective, since the RF bursts would be intermittent and very short (a few seconds every 30-45min. or so). My real problem is this: the average "basic" cell phone is built such that that the cell radio and its associated microcontroller(s) can notify the phone's main CPU of incoming calls at any time, and also so that keypad actions will wake the screen up instantly. As such, it would be completely irrelevant for a phone CPU to go to "sleep" in the way I've talked about in this post, so no phone firmware would incorporate the capability. Also note that the CPU in a basic cell phone is I think nearly 100MHz. Furthermore, only the newest, fanciest 400MHz+ CPUs provide the "oomph" neccessary for sufficient on-device functionality to justify a software cell-module off-switch. Thus, the only type of cellular solution I'd be able to use - one I could completely switch off - would likely be some kind of geometrically overgrown slow-as-molasses serial-to-cellular GPRS modem module type thing, and this would very much be a last resort because it would not only be so insanely slow (Wi-Fi is very attractive in this regard! ~54Mbps+ vs. ~25kbps? Ha!), in this 4G-obssessed day and age it would be nigh impossible to find a cost-effective data plan for it - I'm aware that telcos offer obscure yearly-prepaid plans for miniscule amounts of data or SMS transfer, but I'd also want to use the wireless link for occasional web browsing and data synchronization, which would not only crawl with GPRS, but it would boot me out of the "minimal data transfer" category, my only recourse being to pay for a 3G SIM card with a data cap I'd never be technologically capable of fulfilling (a lot of mobile plans specify "no continuous downloading", which would be my first requirement if I were to try and fill out a 100MB limit at 20kbps). In other words: circumstancially speaking, it would never work out. And Wi-Fi is freee

I used currants in place of raisins and my own homemade ras el hanout. ~Tasty~ wasn't too thrilled with the "stuff" in the meatloaf however. ;) Served over whole wheat couscous and accompanied by lightly steamed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. I used half ground lamb and half ground beef. Made for NA*ME tag/October.
We liked this very much! Great flavor; very different. The couscous is a cool idea & works well. Using the 8x8 pan was different as well but worked really well! The chutney was ok. I think it woukd have been better cooked in a wide pan of some sort OR stir almost constantly. The tomatoes on the bottom got really soft while the ones on top were still intact & hard. :( I also think it would work to saute the onions for a couple minutes before adding the rest. I used shallots instead of red onions. I will definitely make this again! Made for NA/ME Tag June 2013.

• Social media campaigns
• Public relations plans
Over the last several years, effective service contracts have played an increasingly critical role in determining the success of a venue. The Pinnacle Venue Services team has decades of experience negotiating and managing service agreements in a variety of venues.
Ticketing Services Contract and Operation Evaluation
No segment of the sports and live entertainment industry has had more dynamic change over the past decade than ticketing. A venue's ticketing operation is on the front line of communications with customers and has become possibly the most effective marketing tool for the venue and its tenants. PVS has extensive experience in managing ticketing operations and will review your ticketing operations to maximize its efficiency and profitability. If your ticketing agreement is expiring, PVS can coordinate your selection process and negotiate with a selected ticketing service provider.
Food & Beverage Contract and Operation Evaluation
Customers' expectations of food and beverage at sports and entertainment venues has drastically changed over the past 15-20 years from menus to pricing. PVS will review your food and beverage operations to ensure that it exceeds your customers' expectations and maximize its revenue generated.
Additional Service Contract Evaluations and Recommendations
In addition to ticketing and food and beverage agreements, PVS can review the following service contracts:
Pre-Opening Services
The pre-opening phases of a new venue can be the most complex and most critical for future success. The venue and event industry is constantly evolving and having an efficient and functional design will have a life-long impact on the venue. Whether it is creating revenue opportunities, minimizing operating costs, ensuring that a variety of events can be hosted efficiently, or maximizing customers' experience, the pre-opening phases of a venue are where it all starts.
The Principals of Pinnacle Venue Services have first-hand experience leading a variety of venues through design, development, construction and grand opening. We work with clients to assist them in achieving their operational and financial goals for their venues.
Some of the pre-opening services Pinnacle Venue Services provides are:
• Operational design review
• Financial forecasting and budgeting
• Event booking and scheduling
• Review of food & beverage operations and service providers
• Review of ticketing operations and service providers
• FF&E list review and development
• Premium seating analysis
• Operational policy development
• Safety, security and emergency procedures review and development
• Venue marketing
• Grand opening coordination
With well-publicized violence, severe weather and accidents in a variety of public venues, and ongoing political unrest, it is imperative for all public assembly venues to have an up to date comprehensive Venue Emergency Response Plan (VERP) to ensure the safety of the customers at a venue. Additionally, given the media coverage of these events, a venue without a proper VERP will have no excuse for not being prepared and may have significant legal exposure.
A comprehensive VERP will reduce risk, provide a safe environment for the venue's customers and staff and reduce the owner's exposure to litigation.
PVS will provide and/or coordinate:
The sports and entertainment industry is constantly changing and, therefore, venues need to be always adapting to be successful. Operation assessments are often necessary to ensure a venue is operating as efficiently as possible. Operation assessments include a review and recommendations in a variety of areas:
Upon completion of the assessments, PVS can create a customized comprehensive Operations Manual that will be a guideline for the venue's staff for providing quality management and service.
Feasibility Studies
As venue operators PVS understands that an accurate feasibility study will have a lasting impact on the long term success of any project. It is important that the event assumptions used to create the feasibility are 'real world' and current with today's event industry.

Check Out Meeps' Unbelievable Makeover At A Can't-Miss Shopping Bash
If you're a vintage aficionado who has lived in D.C. for a reasonable amount of time, there's a good chance you've scoured the racks at Meeps a few times.
Operating in the District for 20 years, the jam-packed store carried many a darling sundress, as well as endless fodder for Halloween costumes. Last year, the insanely talented ladies behind Treasury, Cathy Chung and Katerina Herodotou, bought the store and shuttered it for a head-to-toe renovation. And now, it's time for the big reveal!
If you don't have plans this evening (or, ahem, you can manage two events in one night), you can check out the awe-inspiring revamp these ladies dreamed up — think crisp white interiors, an artsy-bohemian vibe, and the carefully edited selection of vintage duds the Treasury gals are known for. Not only are the prices totally reasonable for casual vintage, the updated shop also a new buy-sell-trade system in place so you can spend even less to get your secondhand fix. So, if you love a good before-and-after — or just want to scoop some closet candy — you'll want to make it over to Meeps, stat.
When: Tonight, August 16, from 5-9 p.m.
Where: Meeps Vintage, 2104 18th Street NW; 202-265-6546.

I searched and did not find the answer to my question. If it has been answered, please direct me please.
IWB holster leather: doesn't the combination of sweat (salts) and the leather STAIN your stainless steel gun ?
Is there a manufacturer who offers a sweat guard ?
I'm a big boy so if the question is dumb, just say so.

Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
Thanks AZ Husker, I'll look them over.
HBE Specialty Leatherworks has sweat guards available. Check them out, think you'll like em. To bore everyone to death again here is a pic of Erics COM III and my BHP when I first bought the two. It gets more comfortable every carry and is the best IWB I have ever had the pleasure of packing a pistol in. Also absolutely love the 1977 BHP.

Join the NRA today, or don't complain when your guns are taken away!
Most makers offer a sweat guard on their IWB models. For me it's more to protect the thumb safety from being switched off on a 1911 and to keep the gun from digging into the side.
I have sweat guards/body protectors on all my IWB holsters. Some holster styles come with it, others have it as an add on (usually around $7-8 more).
I usually keep a T-shirt between the sidearm and my skin, but the extra leather is still a plus.

Hopefully one of the holster makers can chime in and help clarify better.
In God we trust, Everyone else we monitor...
As to the issue of staining....shouldn't be a problem. I've had the holsters stain my clothes, but never the firearm.
Another thing, DON'T store your firearm in the holster!

If you carry a gun, some will call you paranoid. If I carry, what do I have to be paranoid about? -C Smith
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. -J Cooper
Properly sealed with an acrylic finish leather holsters will not stain your clothes or your gun, most holster makers I am sure use a quality sealer to prevent this.
If a sweat shield is sealed in such a way the sweat or will not soak in nor transfer through to the gun.
some holsters are actually sealed twice with an acrylic process.
All of my holsters have Side Guards (Sweat Guards) I have never had a SS gun stain due to sweat and leather (any proper Veg tanned leather should not cause problems with guns).
Check out my site for information.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
Never had a staining problem, but the sweatguard for my SA Champ sure does wonders for my side. I use a Gould and Goodrich holster, btw.

Milt Sparks uses horse hide on the back side of their VMII holsters which even more resistant to moisture.
Thanks to all who shared info here. I ordered a IWB holster from Side Guard. Thanks again for helping me make an informed decision.
"Shirt guards" are a must, as far as I'm concerned. And as noted, practically everyone offers them.
God, country, family.

The performance of the Chandy-Misra algorithm in distributed simulation has been studied in the context of a particular simulation application: a cellular network. The logical process structure under the algorithm is modified in such a way that the excessive synchronisation caused by the algorithm can be avoided. The synchronisation is minimised by reducing the number of connections between logical processes (LP). The concept of a neighbourhood of an LP is defined in such way that an LP is connected via logical channels only to those LPs that belong to its neighbourhood. A broadcast messages method is proposed to solve the communication between non connected logical processes, i.e. those outside the neighbourhood. Simulation experiments are carried out in a previously implemented distributed simulation environment, Diworse. A GSM network is used as a simulation application where target of the simulation is to obtain estimates for the channel utilisation. Carrier per interference (C/I) values for GSM channels are used for determining the need for handovers. Execution time of the simulation and deviations in the C/I values are measured for completely connected and broadcast message methods in order to find out the effect of connection reduction. The results indicate that the broadcast messages method enables significantly faster simulation. With the GSM application, the proposed method has only a negligible distorting effect on the simulation

A good restaurant where the dishes are typical. The waiters are nice and the service is good. The prices are affordable.
Lunch menu at 11,50 euros with starter, main dish, dessert and beverage. Amazing couscous dish- tasty, big portions. Friendly staff. A bit out of the way, but if you are in the area, well worth the detour. A great deal !
I live in the neighborhood, so I usually don't go to the restaurants around, since when I'm there, I eat at home. However circumstances prompted me to try this one. There is not much to say except that it's exactly what you should expect from this kind of place. The service was nice, food was abundant, prices were reasonable. So...

Product Description
Product Description
Baz Luhrmann's dazzling and unconventional adaptation of William Shakespear's classic love story is spellbinding. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes portray Romeo and Juliet, the youthful star-crossed lovers of the past. But the setting has been moved from it's Elizabethan origins to the futuristic urban backdrop of Verona Beach.
Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom) takes a shot at reinventing Shakespeare's story of star-crossed lovers as a visual pastiche inspired by MTV imagery, Hong Kong action-picture clichés, and Luhrmann's own taste for deliberate, gaudy excess. The result is explosive chaos, both in terms of bullets and visual sensibility, which some may find impossible to stick with for more than a few minutes. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes play the leads, though not with much distinction, while Pete Postlethwaite makes a huge impression as this movie's version of Friar Laurence. The film is successful in spots, but overall its fever-dream game plan is difficult to ride out. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

We have only watched the first 30 minutes, and I might add more to this review once we finish it, or when I get the DVD, whichever comes first! But I loved the newscaster as the chorus. What a creative touch. As for the swords or guns controversy, this is set in modern times. Who uses swords in our day? But to keep the Old English was smart. After all, what is Romeo and Juliet without Old English? It would not be the same. I mean, the famous Queen Mab's speech in anything but Old English? Hard to imagine. And te contrast between Old English and modern times was a very interesting one. And even if it was written in today's language, it would be too much like West Side Story. They wanted to stick to the roots of Romeo and Juliet. Also for all those people who criticized Mercutio for being a drag queen, he is not a drag queen or a transvestite. Well what can I say? This is the modern version. The performance given by Leonardo DiCaprio is great, he speaks Old English like he's spoken it his entire life. However Juliet, I don't quite agree with.Read more ›
I believe that Baz Luhrman's take on this is brilliant! Mercutio steals the show, but is only highlighted by his introduction and death scene (which is the pivotal point of the story). Teenage angst and true love that no grown-up can remember experiencing rules the roost here. Guns are brilliantly substituted for swords and daggers, and the word-play is only enhanced by the film's use of the cast's modern nuances. I find myself watching this every couple of months and loving it!
As for the director's use of Shakespeare's dialogue, I belive it is nothing short of genius. To blend the modern with the elizabethan is a difficult task, and luhrman does it with a grace that shows confidence and true emotion, which resonates in shakespeare like a great bell being rung through all our time.
The movie starts off with a TV report and ends with it. Romeo first spies Juliet dressed as a knight and her as an Angel, smart move by Baz. If u listen closely 2 the lines, u will start 2 not only understand the Shakspearian dialect but u will hear some things quiet easy 2 miss. I also luv how they've based everything around the 'water barrier' as Baz describes it in the commontary (i luv DVDs with commontary) and the fish tank was guenious.
Look, i just want 2 say, if u r a Leo or Claire or Jesse Bradford or John Legessamo (i have no idea how 2 spell his last name) fan or ur just up 4 a good movie, this is the one 2 c. and guys, this isn't what i'd descibe as a chick flick mainly because of the death of tybalt scene and the fight and gun scenes.
Well, i hope u all like it. - Haylz

Hi Group,
It was suggested to me that getting the "perfect" sound for these very quite cars is to just cut off the final muffler, add straight pipe back in with a new tip (this saves the muffler and original tip in case I don't like the new sound)
Question is ... has anyone gone this route already and what do you think of the sound?
I'd like a little something better / louder then stock when I get on it but no way do I want to scream at passengers to carry on a conversation while driving. Just something nice ;-)
I do not have the cash to buy aftermarket exhaust systems at the moment, nor is anything wrong with the stock system yet (except how very well it functions to muffle all exhaust notes lol)
I have searched the archives but have not seen this particular suggestion. I HAVE seen posts about removing the resonator (or is it the silencer?)
My e28 M5 had cats removed, straight pipes in their place and stock muffler. It was perfect volume, maybe leaning toward a wee bit loud for me, but it didn't really have a good muscular rumble or note to it. I'm hoping the V-8 might give a better sound with such an easy fix
Thanks again for all input,Michael in MD

It's been three years since Kevin Hart took the stage for the stand-up comedy movie Let Me Explain. In that time, he's appeared in numerous hit movies and made countless stand-up and TV appearances. But now he's ready to return to what he loves most, and the thing that made him a star. Today, we have the full-length trailer for Kevin Hart: What Now? And it sees the comedian at the top of his game. Literally.
Let Me Explained was a blockbuster success for the comedian, and grossed an astounding $32 million at the box office. So a follow-up was a no brainer. His previous effort is the third highest live stand-up comedy movie of all time. But What Now? could easily take the top spot away from Eddie Murphy Raw, which has held the title of biggest stand-up comedy movie since it hit theaters in 1987. It is followed by The Original Kings of Comedy, which came out in 2000.
This new trailer shows Kevin Hart as a James Bond-like secret agent. He is on a mission to get money for his latest comedy tour. And we're treated to some cool action comedy stunts as the diminutive joker attempts to get away from the bad guys. This is all just a set up for the actual movie, though, and when it arrives in theaters on October 14, it will help pad the runtime to feature length.
The real core of the film finds Hart doing something no other stand-up has ever achieved. He will take center stage in what is being called a 'groundbreaking, record-setting, sold-out performance'. The show was part of his 2015 'What Now?' comedy tour. And it was filmed outdoors in front of a record 50,000 people. The show happened at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, and marks the first time a comedian has ever performed to an at-capacity football stadium.
What Now? brings the Kevin Hart stand-up trilogy to its inevitable conclusion, which kicked off back in 2011 with Laugh at My Pain. That movie went onto earn $7.7 million, and stands as the 8th highest grossing live stand-up comedy movie of all-time. Before What Now? hits theaters this fall, Kevin Hart can be seen opposite Dwayne The Rock Johnson in the new action comedy Central Intelligence, which opens this Friday, June 17. He is also one of the lead voice actors in the new animated comedy The Secret Life of Pets, in theaters July 8. And later this year, he'll reunite with The Rock alongside Jack Black to shoot the Jumanji remake. Today, we get to see him slinging jokes and acting more than just a 'little' foolish in What Now? Here's the latest footage, courtesy of Youtube »

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city's most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you're not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we're of the mind that it's time extremely well-spent.
A full-career Brian De Palma retrospective is now underway. Sisters and Carrie play on Friday, and Saturday brings The Phantom of the Paradise — but that's not even half of the first weekend.
Prints of Gilda, Space Jam, and shorts by Charles and Ray Eames screen this Saturday.

Sometimes it's tempting to get caught up in the past as a WWE fan. When you think back to childhood memories of watching Hulk Hogan fight for what's right Monday nights, to watching Stone Cold Steve Austin give the middle finger to the man, it can be hard to imagine any modern WWE storylines even coming close to the "good old days."
But while everyone will always have their favorite era of WWE, the truth is that living in the past can sometimes make you blind to greatness in the present. WWE is a 24/7, 365 day a year brand of entertainment and with that much content, they are bound to produce something excellent even in leaner years.
In fact, recent years have produced several storylines that could easily stand toe to toe with the very best WWE has ever produced. Among them, these are the very best. »

Had Dean Ambrose remained Intercontinental Champion headed into Fastlane on Sunday, you could almost count on him eating the pinfall, likely from 'brother' Roman Reigns. It's a rare proposition (though not impossible) that a secondary titleholder would head into WrestleMania and face the WWE Champion, and Ambrose dropping the belt on Raw in a five-way match actually adds a bit of intrigue for Sunday. For some, it lays that seed that maybe, just maybe, Ambrose could garner the title match at WrestleMania after all.
While Reigns is still the most likely victor in Sunday's triple threat, this wouldn't be the first time a secondary champion has dropped the gold en route to his first WWE World Championship. The modern era of WWE is littered with examples of soon-to-be marquee talents ditching a lesser belt in eventual exchange for the grand prize, and it usually doesn't take long. »
