No Lynch, No Scoob, No Kutt, No Jay Rock? Its not gonna feel right. But i think it'll be dope to see Prozak on tour again. And I've seen MGK live twice and he is no disappointment. Extremely disappointed about not being able to see Lynch, Kutt, Jay Rock, and the big fella though. Ready for July 4th.
i have seen tech a bunch of times....i still enjoy his performance but i like the other sets too... i was hoping blh was gunna be on this cuz he said in an interview he was. and jay rock is sick live wanted to see him too.
Mac Thunder said:
I've also heard the MGK wrecks shop on stage. I've seen a couple of his performance videos and honestly I'm really looking forward to his set. I don't know if it will quite make up for the absence of Kutty and BLH but regardless everyone's TRULY going to see Tech in all reality.
Cole said:Prozak? And no Kutt? Ugh. Oh well, I've heard MGK is good live, and good to see Mayday and Stone again.
For those who haven't seen MGK live you're in for a treat. His shows are the only ones i really know that can compare to tech's with how much energy he brings.

GeGe Williams joined 18 family members Thursday for a sprawling Thanksgiving feast of turkey, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, seafood rice, stuffing and banana pudding.
They had to eat quickly. It was 11 a.m., and they wanted to get in line to shop.
"Half of us went to Walmart and half of us came here," Williams, a fast-food cashier from Miami, said shortly before 6 p.m. from a bench outside the Best Buy at the Dadeland Station Mall.
Williams joined tens of thousands of South Florida residents in condensing or abandoning their Thanksgiving routines Thursday to snag bargains reserved for the earliest of holiday shoppers.
At a Doral Toys R Us, more than 300 people waited in line for an 8 p.m. opening, the earliest yet for a store that four years ago kept closed through Thanksgiving. But with more retailers seeing midnight openings on Friday too long a wait for holiday sales, Toys R Us opted to move its "door buster" frenzy into Thanksgiving evening.
The earlier opening brought Rebecca Sucarino to Toys R Us at 10 a.m. to claim the first spot in line. The insurance specialist was joined by her husband and friends, while her three children ate Thanksgiving with Sucarino's mother.
This is Sucarino's third year at the front of the line on Thanksgiving at the same Toys R Us. She's on the hunt for baby clothes and a $100 trampoline selling for $50.
She said she's happy to be able to afford a big Christmas haul for her three kids (ages 11, 3 and six months) but does regret having to stake out a store on Thanksgiving.
"This is my son's first Thanksgiving. It bothers me a lot," she said. "But it feels good to get the kids a lot of toys and not spend as much."
While the Toys R Us line grew throughout the evening, the second group of shoppers didn't show up until around 5 p.m.
Such was the luck of Thanksgiving Day shopping, with some die-hards realizing they had arrived hours or even days earlier than they needed to.
At a Doral Best Buy, Valentina Sierra stood by a tent she and a fellow Starbucks worker pitched there on Monday. When did the people that snagged Spot No. 2 arrive? Wednesday, Sierra said, rolling her eyes.
She planned on buying a $499 40-inch Toshiba television on sale for $179 as a gift for her parents. About 40 spots down a line topping 200 around 7 pm, Florida International University student Jason Kalil wanted the same item. He wasn't hopeful and blamed local police.
Kalil explained he arrived around midnight and placed his tent near Sierra's. While charging a phone Thursday morning, Kalil saw someone had inserted their tent, claiming improper dibs on Kalil's part. A scuffle ensued, the police summoned.
"They ordered me to the back of the line," Kalil said.
Nationwide, a similar shopping story unfolded as shoppers put down the turkey to take advantage of Thanksgiving deals.
Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving that's named Black Friday because that's when stores traditionally turn a profit for the year. But Black Friday openings have crept earlier and earlier over the past few years. Now, stores are opening their doors on Thanksgiving evening, hoping Americans will be willing to shop soon after they finish their pumpkin pie.
Retailers are hoping that the Thanksgiving openings will draw shoppers who prefer to head to stores after their turkey dinner rather than braving the crowds early the next morning. Overall, about 17 percent of shoppers plan to take advantage of Thanksgiving hours, according to an International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers.

[Last Edit: 4/6/2012 4:16:47 PM by VBC]
THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT That'll make you pause and reflect for a moment. First I was thankful that all my body parts were still there. All I got was a small nick on my thumb. Then I was about the cry over the thought that I just destroyed my bow. One of the brackets had slipped off the limbs and on its violent way up had thrashed the cable guard rod, gouging it and bending it upwards like a gorilla took hold of it. Good thing my hand wasn't there, or worse yet, my head. It would have probably taken it clean off. Well I composed myself and began inspecting the pieces of the bow. Miraculously, despite the cable guard, only a very small chip was taken out of the pocket end of one of the limbs, in a non-critical area, as it flew out of the limb pocket. There were also couple of marred spots on the outside edges of the cams where the brackets hit, but the insides of the tracks were still true and the cams spun straight. So I took a round needle file and some 600 grit sandpaper and patiently smoothed over all the rough spots. After I sanded the chip out of the limb, I thoroughly ran a cotton swab over all of the limbs to check for any cracks. I also flexed each with my hands to listen for creaking. Everything checked out ok. So I started reassembling. Heck it gave me a good opportunity to regrease everything anyway. Then I began wondering how I would restring the bow. With the limbs completely flexed out, there isn't enough reach on the Bowmaster. So I ended up using a combination of a cinch strap hooked into beefy looking spots on the cams and my draw board to get the limbs flexed down enough to fit the Bowmaster back on the limbs (this time with the brackets ALIGNED). With one more use of the cinch strap as I drew limbs down so I could reset the cable pay out on the Bowmaster, I was able to get the cables and strings back on the bow. Then came the poor cable guard rod. I thought about calling PSE to order a replacemenet, but I figured I would try to straighten the one I have. So I took some aluminum bar stock to protect it from the teeth of the bench vise, my big fucking hammer, and a piece of 5/8 brass rod for a punch and massaged the cable guard straight again. The metal of that cable guard is TOUGH. It has some flex in it, which made it hard to straighten. It would bend just a tiny bit with each whack of the hammer, which was fortunate because it allowed me to get it pefectly straight again. So with some Aluminum cold bluing, I concealed the bare aluminum spots and she's back in business. Then I ordered an EZ Green Press. |

I 've had a bowmaster for years and found them to be incredibly useful. one of the best things about them is they take up zero space.
I like the EZ Press style, but there were a few things I wanted to do differently so I went ahead and made my own. Crappy basement pics: |
Posted: 4/9/2012 8:51:26 AM
My goodness. That is impressive.
Posted: 8/31/2012 10:59:05 PM
I bought a used bow off ebay. Its an older pse bow. Its a compound but its quite long axle to axle. about 4 feet. Being new to this, i bought a cheap truglo sight and real tree brand peep and tube from walmart. I watched a couple youtube vids.
I did not have a bow press. What i did have, and managed to use successfully, is a large benchtop vice, and a crankdown tow strap. Not saying its safe, or a good idea, or that you should try it. But it worked for me. |
Posted: 11/11/2012 8:59:33 PM
I've been using a Bowmaster press for a couple of years now since the homemade press I had won't work with the newer parallel limb bows. It works ok but is a pain to use. I plan on getting the EZ Green press that VBC got. My buddy has the deluxe version of the EZ press, but I'm not dropping that kind of money for the few times I'll use it.

Information about upcoming Future of the Region Sustainability Dialogues. Help shape the future of the region by sharing your thoughts with local experts on innovative solutions to challenging regional issues.
Watch the livestream below on Wed, November 13 at 7:30AM.
Metro Vancouver's Sustainability Community Breakfasts is a series of monthly breakfast meetings that support the Sustainable Region Initiative. They provide an opportunity to build networks and partnerships, to increase awareness and understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to sustainability, and to bring together individuals and organizations interested in the sustainability of the region. Each breakfast typically features one or more presentations about sustainability initiatives, as well as updates about on-going projects.
The Sustainability Community Breakfasts were originally introduced to share information and build awareness leading up to the World Urban Forum 3 (WUF3) in June of 2006; today, as interest in enhancing the sustainability of our Region grows, the breakfasts appeal to a growing number of individuals in the private, public, academic and not-for-profit sectors that are interested in networking and keep abreast of latest developments.
Each breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. and finishes at 9:00 a.m. Following the breakfast, participants are encouraged to actively engage in informal networking and discussions of sustainability topics and trends to help expand awareness of those issues.

The Carleton Place BIA represents small business in the downtown and we are proud of these businesses that contribute to the local economy, provide employment, local produce and products, and contribute to local events. The downtown businesses are the heartbeat of Carleton Place, keep them alive, shop locally! Did you know that if half the employed population of Carleton Place spent $50 each month in a small business, that the purchases made could generate revenue of 3 million dollars? Imagine the positive change that will occur if our community did that. Spend $100 in an independent business and 2/3 of that will return to the community through taxes and other expenditures. Spending through a national chain less than ½ of those dollars remain in your community. Spend your hard earned dollars online and nothing comes back to the community! |

Who is OSEA:
What we do:
Partner with OSEA:
Community Power
First Nations / Metis members
First Nations and Metis people have always relied on nature's bounty, giving thanks to the Creator for the wildlife, the forests and rivers that have traditionally sustained them, while looking ahead to the seventh generation. Today they continue to seek to benefit from the natural resources in their territories by harnessing the wind, water and sun to generate renewable energy. Having long seen themselves as stewards of the Earth, First Nations and Metis understand the urgent need to stop polluting the planet. However, they also can see economic opportunities in developing sources of renewable energy that would benefit their remote and often impoverished communities. OSEA has worked with over 20 First Nations on renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, identifying opportunities and increasing the capacity needed to undertake successful projects. In 2005, OSEA held a workshop in Ontario with First Nations and associated organizations at which barriers to past energy projects were identified and solutions discussed. Working alongside its own First Nations members, and acting in an advisory position, OSEA also helped establish The First Nations Energy Alliance in 2007, which brings together nearly two dozen First Nations to promote self-sufficiency and the sustainability of their communities by generating electricity from clean, green sources. To establish the Alliance, OSEA was instrumental in obtaining funding from the Ontario Power Authority. On a regular basis, OSEA hosts a working group and its recommendations help formulate policy. To develop policies that will foster sustainable development for First Nations and Metis members, OSEA works with the government and its different agencies. In a joint submission to the Ontario Energy Board, OSEA and Wikwemikong First Nation on Manitoulin Island called for changes in the cost of transmission, which at present must be covered by the energy generator. Instead OSEA is seeking to have the cost of lines and transformers covered by electricity consumers. As well, OSEA is advocating a funding program that would offer First Nations interest-free loans to seed new projects. Recognizing the benefits for First Nations of generating renewable energy, as well as the obligation on the part of the province to respect First Nations territory, the Energy and Infrastructure Minister George Smitherman, in September 2008, directed the Ontario Power Authority to enhance its consultation process with First Nations and to consider opportunities to form partnerships with them to generate and transmit green electricity. Several First Nations are already generating renewable energy while more are in the planning process. M'Chigeeng is in the final stages of securing funding for a 6-turbine, 8MW wind energy project on Manitoulin Island. Also on Manitoulin, Wikwemikong is developing an initial project of 26 MW or 13 windmills with even bigger plans to develop up to 200 MW over the next decade. Meanwhile Walpole Island First Nation is developing a 10 MW wind power project, which will be entirely within the nation's boundaries, and collectively owned by its members. |

This just in 10% more the urban institute warning that is how much more midsize companies would be paying at the president's health -- low or enacted this year.
Which former health secretary Michael -- -- the exact opposite Barack Obama said.
Would have been under this new law this year mr.
let it.
Also -- -- Mitt Romney's transition team well it's sort of like that gift the keeps giving Michael that we with a more we find out about it.
Nancy Pelosi is right the more we discover yet and and and maybe regret -- -- Premiums going -- -- now likely soared mid sized businesses.
Going up a lot.
-- -- -- -- Well there's little question that we will seek substantial increases and cost of health insurance driven by.
Many of the regulations that were put together -- part of Obama care.
But it's not the only part of the economy we're seeing gas prices driven up as a result of the energy policy or lack thereof we're seeing tuitions going up for college students because of policies that have been implemented we're seeing -- three.
Million unemployed people and many others have just given up hope.
Not because of the president's policies.
You know they even did an objective reader this I applaud you -- the perspective -- other patients -- most patients are neither left directly negotiated doctor.
You know you're desperate or or at least you're inclined to -- doctor regardless has political persuasion was -- -- of -- Hope -- all Republicans today but -- at that point.
An objective reading this -- the doctor's offices more -- -- doctors more cynical your insurance premiums have gone up save those who were uninsured who now are insured.
They're the only ones happy they're the only -- happen.
Well I think our governor Romney's made -- very clear point of the fact that one of the things obamacare did was to take.
More than 750.
Billion dollars out of Medicare and the reason that that's a problem is because now doctors and hospitals and others a week.
Count on for access are indicating they're not going to be prepared.
To treat new Medicare or even Medicaid patients but -- housing -- -- -- Rise in -- united -- about this before.
But believe -- I'm I'm -- no Mensa candidate but I -- told you.
That before the law fully kicks in if you're asking insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions.
To have your kids on the policy rates -- six they're gonna charging more for that.
You may not like -- you might not welcome it but they're gonna charge you more for the privilege of including it.
I don't know what to shock is on the party administration and others to see them do just.
Actually it's not just one of those it's the combination in the way it was constructed the whole thing was designed in -- is to take control.
Of the health care system with the belief.
That government can make better decisions for consumers than they can themselves.
There's a strong belief on governor Romney's part and others myself included that if you give consumers access to good information.
And transparency they make good decisions from for themselves.
That doesn't mean we don't need government we do but we don't need as much of it and we certainly can't afford.
That remarkably large subsidies that the Obama care bill created and added to our deficit.
Secretary you heading up the governor Romney's transition team is it fair to say.
Should he be elected president four weeks from now to big leap that the first goal would be dismantling it easier said than done if the senate.
Stays in democratic cancer -- But he's made clear that he will.
Of repeal Obama care.
If for whatever reason that's not possible -- legislative basis then he'll begin.
Minimizing the negative impacts that Obama cares clearly having.
On on those who have to acquire health care which is all of us but a lot easier if you have a Republican senate to start the progress.
In the it would.
On secretary it was a pleasure thank you thank you know.

BackgammonSetupBackgammon is a game for two players, played on a board consisting of 24 triangles (points). The triangles alternate in color and are grouped into four quadrants of six triangles each. The quadrants are referred to as a player's home board and outer board, and the opponent's home board and outer board. The initial arrangement of stones is:
ObjectThe object of the backgammon is move all your stones into your own home board and then bear them off. The first player to bear off all of their checkers wins the game.BeginTo start the game, each player throws a single die. This determines both the player to go first and the numbers to be played. If equal numbers come up, then both players roll again until they roll different numbers. The player throwing the higher number now moves his checkers according to the numbers showing on both dice. After the first roll, the players throw two dice and alternate turns.Move
Bearing off
DoublingEach game starts at one point. During the game, a player may feel that he or she has a sufficient advantage. In this case he or she can propose doubling the stakes. This can be done this only at the start of his own turn and before rolling the dice. A player who is offered a double may refuse, in which case he concedes the game with one point. play A player who accepts a double becomes the owner of te cube. Redoubles are possible. If a player refuses a redouble, he must pay the number of points that were at stake prior to the redouble.Automatic doublesThis is a optional rule.If identical numbers are thrown on the first roll, the stakes are doubled. The doubling cube is turned to 2 and remains in the middle. End of the gameAt the end of the game, if the losing player has borne off at least one checker, he loses only the value showing on the doubling cube (one point, if there have been no doubles).However, if the loser has not borne off any of his checkers, he is gammoned and loses twice the value of the doubling cube. If the loser has not borne off any of his checkers and still has a checker on the bar or in the winner's home board, he is backgammoned and loses three times the value of the doubling cube. |

Today I received a mail from Google which state that your app has been removed from Google play due to copyright infringement. The person who register this copyright issue is a person who run his non registered company. I was working with him a year back. A year ago I made an app for him. The app was not complete at the time of I left the company.
Because of some salary issue I left that company and his project a year ago. After that I worked in another company, and I learned a lot from my second company. So I thought that I should make the app that I left a year ago. Then I started work on the project from scratch, Every single line of code is written by me, I spent my 4 months and many sleep less night on that project.
Now when I published my app he report the copyright issue and my app is now removed from Google play. He is saying that you steal my code and Your app do the same things which my app do.
He also steal ideas from another apps, and there are hundreds of app of apps which does the same things. If this was his app then he should publish his app in Google play a year ago, but he does not publish with in a year.
How to react in this situation ? what should I do now? The app is the source of my income and I want my app back in the market.

Sony jumps into 3D laptops with the Vaio F series
Laptops that use active shutter 3D glasses have been few and far between, but the handful we've seen (from HP, Asus, and others) have all been at least as good as their desktop counterparts, which require a checklist of compatible video cards, cables, and monitors to function. Sony is now joining the fray with the new Vaio F series 3D laptop, a 16-inch system that makes use of both Nvidia's popular 3D Vision technology and Sony's own 3DTV system.
The display has a native resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels, which is a nice upgrade from most 3D laptops, which trade down to lower 1,366x768-pixel panels. The native 1080p screen is suited for HD video, so we're pleased to see a Blu-ray drive included as well. Of the F series, Sony says, "This laptop is a multimedia powerhouse melding cutting-edge technologies such as Blu-ray Disc and 3D functionality into one portable device."
The F series also includes the 2D-to-3D conversion feature found on many 3D flat-screen TVs, which creates a faux 3D effect in 2D content. It's a gimmick at best, but can occasionally be useful, perhaps in video games, but your mileage may vary. There's also simulated surround sound, thanks to the S-Force Front Surround 3D system. … Read more

New FCC Chair continues prison phone battle
ABOVE PHOTO: Mignon Clyburn says rates are unfair to inmates and families.
By Stacy M. Brown
Mignon Clyburn, a veteran policymaker from the Public Service Commission of South Carolina, has been appointed acting chair of the Federal Communications Commission, the first woman to ever hold the post.
Since joining the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2009, Clyburn remains a leader in the fight to reduce telephone rates for prison inmates throughout the country and, in her first interview since being appointed by President Barack Obama to her new post, she vows to continue that battle.
"Tens of thousands of consumers have written, emailed, and telephoned the Federal Communications Commission, pleading for relief on interstate long distance rates from correctional facilities and I intend to keep pushing this issue," said Clyburn, 51.
Clyburn said that she could not discuss details regarding her recent appointment, which was announced on May 1.
However, the second-term FCC commissioner is miffed that rates make it cheaper to place a cellular telephone call from as far away as Singapore than it is for an inmate to make an interstate collect call from prisons in the United States.
According to data from various telephone companies, including Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, the average cost of a call to Singapore is 12 cents per minute, while a call from prison includes a $3.95 connection fee regardless of the length of the conversation.
"One five-minute call from prison could be as high as $17 with the connection fee and the per minute rate can be as high as 89 cents," Clyburn said. "That framework can be as high as your regular monthly phone bill. We're talking a significant amount of money for those who are least likely to be able to afford that type of engagement. All of this has motivated me to keep this fight going," she said.
Clyburn, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Banking, Finance and Economics from the University of South Carolina, served as chair of South Carolina's Public Service Commission from 2002 to 2004.
While Clyburn has made her mark in the public sector, she remains proud of her background in media – that's where she learned to speak truth to power.
"It was on an African-American newspaper, the Coastal Times, in South Carolina," she said. Clyburn co-owned and operated the newspaper with her father, Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), the former House majority whip and the current Assistant Democratic Leader.
Clyburn said she will continue to pressure regulators to find more affordable solutions and rates for inmates and their families.
Two private companies own the service that operate all prison phone calls in the country, Global Tel*Link Corp. of Mobile, Ala., and Securus Technologies, Inc. of Dallas, Texas. A spokeswoman at Global Tel*Link and a secretary at Securus each declined comment.
Officials from both companies have previously said during a conference in New York last year that the higher rates are due to the security features their technology provides, such as monitoring phone calls and blocking numbers.
"But, technology is readily available and not something that should translate to $15 for a 15-minute phone call," said Steven Renderos, national organizer for the Center for Media Justice in Oakland, Calif.
Rates for the calls widely vary from state-to-state, but the commissions received by the phone companies and prisons are high, Renderos said.
"For example, in Alabama the commission rate is 61.5 percent, and this translates to families having to pay 89 cents a minute on top of the $3.95 connection fee every time a family member receives a call," said Renderos.
"Eight states, California, South Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Michigan, and Missouri, have banned these commissions and in those states, you see some of the lowest rates for phone calls," he said.
The District of Columbia prohibits any surcharge, commission, or other financial imposition on prisoners' phone calls beyond legally established phone rates, which are limited to the maximum rate determined by the District's Public Service Commission, agency officials said.
Clyburn, who in 2001 began work to reduce the rates and recruited Jesse Jackson's Operation Push to assist, said the telephone is a crucial instrument for the incarcerated, and those who care about them, because telephone usage is often the only communications option available.
"Maintaining contact with family and friends during incarceration not only helps the inmate, but it is beneficial to our society as a whole because there are well over two million children with at least one parent behind bars and regardless of their circumstances, both children and parents gain from regular contact with one another," said Clyburn.
A major hurdle in the battle to reduce the call rates is the "Almighty dollar," officials at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) said. Last week, representatives from the CBC also signed on to help Clyburn fight the exorbitant costs of prison calls.
The phone market in state prison systems is worth more than $362 million annually. Payments to governments in return for exclusive phone contracts account for an estimated 42 percent nationwide, or $152 million per year, according to a 2011 report published by Prison Legal News.
Also, while telephone companies sometimes provide reduced rates for evening and nighttime calls, many prisoners don't have the luxury of scheduling phone calls during those time periods.
When Louisiana issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for prison phone services in 2001, it specified that the maximum points should be awarded to the bidder who bids the highest percentage of compensation. It also stated a desire that the bidder's compensation percentages be "as high as possible," the study stated.
When the Alaska Department of Corrections issued an RFP in 2007, bidders were rated on a point system with 60 percent of the evaluation points assigned to cost.
Some of America's prisons are privately owned and publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), meaning that they are for-profit businesses and pay dividends to shareholders. Cornell Companies Inc. (whose NYSE symbol is CRN), Corrections Corp. of America (CXW) and Geo Group Inc. (GEO), are the three companies that own prisons in the U.S.
Cornell, which operates in 15 states and the District of Columbia, is currently trading at $29.45 a share. Stock for Corrections Corp., the largest owner of partnership correction and detention facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States, is trading at $37.07. Located in Boca Raton, Fla., the Geo Group is trading at $37.92 a share and the company is expected to release its first quarter financials on May 9.
"I'm optimistic on a number of fronts," Clyburn said. "Our office has constantly ensured that this process of reducing the rates is one that is dynamic and moving forward," she said.
"The more people who are aware of what's going on, the better because there isn't anyone, myself included, who hasn't had this type of engagement. We all know or are related to someone who has been or is currently incarcerated and a lot of people still don't realize how significant of an economic impact this has on poor families."

Dallas police officer wounded serving drug warrant
Dallas police officer grazed by bullet while serving drug warrant at house, suspect flees
Published On: Jan 08 2013 02:15:37 PM CST
An undercover Dallas police officer has suffered a minor gunshot wound in his leg while trying to serve a drug warrant at a house.
Police on Tuesday searched for the suspect.
Police say the officer's leg was grazed Monday night when gunfire came from within the house as officers approached. Police returned fire, leading to a standoff that ended several hours later when a search turned up nobody in the structure.
Police Chief David Brown says the officer was lucky to have avoided serious injury. The name of the injured officer wasn't immediately released.

Phase 4 Films Acquires North American Rights to
JAY Z and Ron Howard's MADE IN AMERICA
Film distributor acquires rights to collaborative documentary
following rave reviews at TIFF
Los Angeles, CA – November 8, 2013 – Phase 4 Films today announced its acquisition of the North American distribution rights to Academy Award® winning director Ron Howard's first documentary, Made in America.
CAA brokered the U.S. rights deal on behalf of the filmmakers; the Canadian rights were handled by The Exchange.
The film follows rap superstar JAY Z through the planning of an unprecedented concert event and features world famous musicians including, Drake, Pearl Jam, Run DMC, The Hive, Passion Pit, Calvin Harris, Janelle Monáe and Skrillex. The film will be released in Summer 2014.
The Budweiser Made in America Festival grossed $5 million in ticket sales and injected more than $10 million into the Philadelphia economy, stimulating businesses struggling through recession. Nearly 80,000 people attended the Festival, which was curated and planned entirely by JAY Z, who also headlined the concert. This was documented through performance footage and backstage interviews captured by director Ron Howard and produced by the Academy Award®winning Brian Grazer.
MADE IN AMERICA premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and is produced by Imagine Entertainment, Marcy Media, RadicalMedia, in association with Participant Media.
Made In America tells the story of rapper turned mogul JAY Z's journey to planning a genre-defying festival intended to uplift the American people in the depths of an economic recession. Held in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American Independence, JAY Z's eclectic taste brought together culture and music, featuring performers from all genres of music, including electronic, pop, hip hop, rock and folk. Howard's raw concert footage gives life to epic cross-genre performances, including Run DMC's first live performance since the death of DJ Jam Master Jay in 2002, accompanied by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder.
"This is not a concert film but rather a reflection of the fabric of what it means to be Made in America – what the festival represents, why JAY is doing it, and how he relates to each artist," said Ron Howard. "Made In America is intended to showcase JAY Z's struggle for success and illustrate how he has become a voice and an icon for a generation of driven and creative youth."
"We are thrilled to release this amazing film," said Berry Meyerowitz, President & CEO of Phase 4 Films. "Made In America is an uplifting and inspiring piece, not just for its musical performances but for the energy and resilience that it portrays."
