Now that there seem to be as many film festivals in the US as there are feature films made each year, it’s hard for a new one to gain a foothold in the cultural zeitgeist. It helps if you set it in a location where people already either reside in large numbers or are willing to travel to. That’s why the Tribeca Film Festival, founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff, had a stronger shot than most of reaching that top tier with Cannes, Toronto, Berlin, and Sundance.

The music was blaring in the clubhouse. Smiles, nods, high-fives, and a sense of jubilation permeated the hallways and training rooms and lounges on the service level of Coca Cola Field. The Buffalo Bisons had just demolished the visiting Syracuse Chiefs before a sizable Fridaynightbash crowd; the team had grabbed first place in a tight, four-way race in the International League North; and the homestand had concluded with the team going 6-1.

Car and Driver reported in April, the 2012 BMW M5, with 560 horsepower tempered with sound deadeners, has installed pre-recorded engine noise, channeled into the car’s cabin via the stereo system. A computer program matches the amplitude of the engine’s growl to the driver’s accelerator-revving.

I’m a bartender. I used to do it full time when I was younger. Then I got married, had a son, and I wanted something with better hours and more benefits. So I did the corporate thing. Worked in a cube for a while. Got a bunch of promotions. Then, last year I got laid off. I put my resume out there, and in the meantime picked up a shift tending bar. I’ve only gotten a few bites on the resume for the “serious” job.
