Filmmakers in D.C. and throughout the world have a chance of getting 180 seconds of airtime on the forthcoming PBS television series filmed at the 9:30 Club.
The TV music variety show, "Live at 9:30," is taking submissions from the public for its "180 at 9:30" short-film segments. The films — which must last exactly three minutes and "be music-related or prominently feature music " — will air during each episode, according to a Live at 9:30 news release distributed today.
The news release added:
If you're anything like me, walking here makes you anxious.
Crossing where 9th and V streets and Florida Avenue meet is tedious at best, scary at worst. Without a stoplight or a stop sign to slow them down, drivers often speed through the walkway. And although they're supposed to stop at the crosswalk when pedestrians are crossing, some drivers just don't, at least not until you step in front of them.
Earlier this week, I posed a question to Twitter: Does this crosswalk freak you out? The responses I got ranged from "yes, always" to one user calling it "terrifying."
This is hardly a new issue. As outlined by Greater Greater Washington, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has discussed installing a traffic signal at the intersection for years.
Last year, DDOT said the construction of a new stoplight at the intersection could begin between October of this year and May of next year. But as more stores and restaurants open in and around the new Atlantic Plumbing development on V Street, foot traffic at the intersection is bound to increase quickly.
We want to know: Do you think this improvement needs to come sooner than later? Weigh in by voting in the poll and telling us what you think in the comments.
Mexo-Americana band David Wax Museum is pretty psyched to play U Street Music Hall on Nov. 21, but they're definitely not above performing at a good house show. Though vocalists and instrumentalists David Wax and Susan "Suz" Slezak have roots in Boston, some of the duo's fondest memories were forged during nights spent playing shows in D.C. living rooms.
We spoke with Wax earlier this week to preview the band's upcoming show:
Borderstan: What are your expectations for U Street Music Hall?
David Wax: I think the sense I've got is that it's like a little bit more of like a sweaty rock group than the 9:30 Club, which has a little bit of that kind of like majestic rock room feel. I think that to [perform in] a packed U Street Music Hall is going to feel really good.
Susan's from Virginia, that's where we live nowadays so we started coming to D.C. really early on and building up. One of the most unique ways of building up the band for us in terms of doing these 15 house concerts in D.C.
I feel like we've made a real personal connection with a lot of our fans there and [I] kind of really just won people over one person at a time and one living room at a time. There's just a real special vibe when we play D.C. People who have got to see us from our earliest early stages have kind of grown along with the band.
Take me back to some of those house shows starting out. How did you get hooked up with them and what was your very first house show in D.C. like?
There was a guy I grew up with in Missouri who was living in D.C. and he organized the first one and he sat in with us. He was someone who played with us a lot when we were in D.C. And so he was kind of a real, you know, person that was super involved in community life there and was able to get 40 people together in a living room to see a band that nobody's ever heard of.
It was kind of like a raucous party with 40 people in a room and a little house in D.C. and I think from that, three or four people that saw us there were like, oh, could you do this at my place? There was just like an instant like oh, I wanna have this at my house and have my friends come and see this.
And so it really like was this kind of viral thing that just something kind of resonated with people. And there was a high concentration of young people in their 20s that, you know, were connected and could get a bunch of people together. It really fit with what peoples' interests were and there was just some kind of line that really clicked.
Has the comfort level changed now that you're playing in actual music venues?
In some ways you're almost more exposed than the house show setting. Both Susan and I have been really comfortable performing since we were little kids and that's what really draws us to being in the band. One of the most sustaining parts of the stress is getting to perform every night. There's lessons to be learned about what connected with people in the house concert setting and the feeling of community and intimacy that you have to work harder to create in the larger venue.
We've been in D.C. a couple times at the 9:30 Club where we just came out in the middle of the room and everyone sat down on the floor and I feel like we've been able to have that kind of intimacy in those experiences that feel like some kind of sense that there's like a transcendence.
That's why I play music and that's why we go and hear music. That's why live music is still relevant to people and matters in peoples' lives.

The developers behind a planded building that would house a Whole Foods near the 9:30 Club will preview the forthcoming store with free sandwiches and music from a local brass band this weekend.
MRP Realty, along with Ellis Development and JBG Companies, will host the free event at the proposed future site of a mixed-use development at 965 Florida Avenue NW on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.
During the event, which will feature appearances from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Fresh FM's Tommy McFly, attendees will be able to dine on free breakfast sandwiches from future tenant Whole Foods and listen to live music from local brass band Brass Connection.
Despite the pomp and circumstance slated for Saturday, plans for the new store looked murky as recently as July. An MRP spokesperson said the D.C. Council will vote on whether to approve the plan to build next Tuesday.

A D.C. man may have the chance to be crowned the greatest air guitarist in the world.
That man is Doug "Thunder" Stroock.
Last week, Stroock and three others strummed invisible guitars well enough to be awarded top honors in the Mid-Atlantic by a panel of judges at the 9:30 Club.
Next Saturday, they'll compete in Portland, Ore., against 17 of the nation's best faux-rockers for the chance to earn a spot among the air guitar gods.
Whoever wins will represent the U.S. in this year's Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland.
Though he's a tornado of '80s fashion and creepy crotch-grabs onstage, Stroock is a fairly normal guy during his day-to-day life as a business consultant.
Stroock, who lives in Chinatown, says his persona is a "a sex figure that's almost humorous."
"I work out just enough to be in shape, but there's no reason I should be kissing my bicep or pointing at it," Stroock says. "It's very opposite to my day-to-day persona. It's like me, but a very outsized version of me."
"I was not one of those guys who was rocking out to Metallica in my bedroom when I was 12," he explains. "The theater of it is what drew me."
Stroock says that although his routines change year-to-year, there's always one constant: he's going to rip off his shirt at some point.
"In every performance that I do, I know somewhere in there I am going to tear off my shirt," says Stroock. "It's my signature move."
"When you play air guitar, you're celebrating the essence of rock," he adds. "You're celebrating everything it means to be a rock star without actually being the musician part of the rock star."
Will the overly macho moves and bare chest be enough to take home the world title? Stroock sure hopes so.
Until then: "I'm revisiting what my routine was and practicing," Stroock says. "Definitely hitting the gym."
Landmark Theatres has moved one step closer to opening its anticipated new Atlantic Plumbing Cinema near the 9:30 Club and U Street corridor.
ABRA today posted the theater chain's public hearing notice for a Class CX liquor license application.
According to the application, the cinema aims to operate as a "high-end theatre with a cafe, serving patrons a variety of food offerings, including local specialties and spirits," with indoor seating for 369 patrons. The cinema also aims to have a summer garden with seating for 14.
Though no opening date has been set, a Washington Business Journal article reports the theater will open its doors in October.

Borderstan certainly has options when it comes to an expensive night out. From wining and dining at the latest restaurants, to evenings filled with theatre and live music, Borderstan offers a little bit of everything for a top-shelf experience. Hell, even parking (or a parking ticket) will cost you a chunk of your wallet.
However, just because the price tags on some of the neighborhood's items are higher than you'd like to pay, it doesn't mean you can't have a great night out at a moderate price.
Often, I put myself on a budget of $20 – but that doesn't stop me from going to some of the area's best spots. Here's what $20 will get you in Borderstan.
- Floriana: Crepes with Meyer lemon, housemade ricotta and mission fig glaze AND a glass of pinot noir. Nothing beats Floriana (1602 17th Street NW) for fantastic Italian food in an intimate setting. And the best news: You don't need a Benjamin to experience it all. My secret is to order a starter and a good glass of wine. That way, you can enjoy a delicious and seasonal taste (and wine!) for under $20.
- 9:30 Club: An evening with Best Coast. The 9:30 Club (815 V Street NW) is one of the best venues on the East Coast to see the nation's best bands. And thankfully, most tickets are right around (or less than) $20. On June 4, California-based indie band Best Coast is bringing its Los Angeles-inspried rock to (what I like to call) the best coast. Tickets are $20 and include two opening bands.
- Local 16: One personal pizza and three drinks. Local 16 (1602 U Street NW) has one of the best happy hours in the neighborhood – and it lasts until 8 pm, which is arguably the best part. For $20, you can get a pizza (tomato, mozzarella and basil) for $5 and three glasses of wine or three featured cocktails ($5 each), like the mojito.
- Local galleries and The Pig: An evening of art, plus lentil and bacon stew and a cocktail. Exposing yourself to culture doesn't mean you need to expose your bank account to the negative sign. The best thing about having so many art galleries around is that you can browse various exhibits for free. Check out Contemporary Wing (1412 14th Street NW), Gallery plan b (1530 14th Street NW) and Hamiltonian Gallery (1353 U Street NW) for their latest exhibits. Then, head over to The Pig (1320 14th Street NW) for a Lentil and bacon stew with pomegranate reduction and herbed crème fraiche ($10) and the Wilbur cocktail (redemption rye and pineapple-rosemary syrup for $9.50).
- Black Cat: Titus Andronicus and a beer. On Sunday, May 19, catch favorite band Titus Andronicus at the Black Cat (1811 14th Street NW) for $15 and score a beer before the show for $5. Opening band is So So Glos. Enjoy your night!
- Masa 14: Two appetizers and two cocktails. The happy hour at Masa 14 (1825 14th Street NW) is very friendly toward the $20 budget. For less than $20, you can score two mojitos (or margaritas) and two appetizers (like a crunchy shrimp handroll or marinated portobello pao buns). Everything on the happy hour menu is $4 each.
Of course there are many other $20 combinations in and around the neighborhood. What are some of your favorites?

Construction may start in July on the Atlantic Plumbing Building project by JBG Companies and Walton Street Capital. The project will bring three residential buildings and more than 25,000 square feet of retail space to 8th and V Streets NW, near the 9:30 Club.
The project includes retail space dedicated to local artists, luxury "green" amenities and streetscape improvements.
The addresses for the three sites are:
- 807 V Street NW and 2112 8th Street NW
- 2030 8th Street NW
- 933-945 Florida Avenue NW
JBG representatives recently gave an update on the project and expect to receive raze permits for the buildings at 2030 8th Street, 807 V Street and 2112 8th Street next week. They will start demolition as soon as possible. JBG hasn't yet selected a general contractor but once they have they will be meeting with all surrounding neighbors to discuss construction traffic control plans, construction mobilization and staging-delivery plans, pedestrian pathways, parking, security, etc.
The parking garage access was moved to 8th Street due to pedestrian safety and possible traffic backups mid-block on V Street NW.
The project will tie in with the 9:30 Club and other neighbors, "targeting more artistic/cultural uses including a possible small theater, as well as a café or restaurant," said James Nozar from JBG Cos. in an interview given to Borderstan last year.

By now you've heard about the new exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s, which is lighting up Twitter and Instagram and popping up everywhere in your Facebook feed. Finally, the culture critics say, Washington has an exhibit all its own, featuring the only musical form indigenous to the area — go-go — and attracting tastemakers from all over.
But here's my advice, Borderstanis, don't just go to the exhibit. Do the Washington thing and attend a lecture or panel discussion. This month, the Corcoran is offering a series of events to highlight the show, geared at all of the music geeks and amateur music historians out there. Each of these events is full of such cool information, it will no doubt figure prominently as your standard "Did you know…" conversation piece from here on.
The History of Go-Go
If you haven't seen it yet, here's a primer: in the aftermath of the riots of 1968 when neighborhoods across the city were destroyed, Chuck Brown emerged with a new funk sound (go-go), that was hyper-local to each DC neighborhood and "crew." Around the same time, an underground punk scene was thriving with the 9:30 Club at its heart (it was downtown then).
Graffiti, street music, self-promotion and a do-it-yourself culture connected this local music scene, in a time where many people felt abandoned by a corrupt government and overwhelmed by violence. All of this resulted in something Washingtonians can now be proud of: a unique punk, hardcore, and go-go scene, now being studied by academics and historians the world over.
The Corcoran has collected (on loan from local institutions like the 9:30 Club and Globe printing press) an incredible display of memorabilia, including a huge selection of neon Globe concert posters; old music photos, flyers and record covers; DC political memorabilia (lots of stuff on Mayor-for-life Marion Barry); video footage of shows, riots, graffiti and violence; and newspaper clippings depicting the tragic murders and the rise of drugs in 1980s DC.
The exhibit was curated by Roger Gastman, a Bethesda native, publisher, filmmaker and graffiti connoisseur of "Exit Through the Gift Shop" fame, now also the guy behind the new film "Legend of Cool "Disco" Dan." In fact, the king of DC graffiti, Cool "Disco" Dan, figures prominently in the storyline, shown tagging DC buses and making a name for himself – long before DC Donutz came around.
Events and Exhibit
Details on the events are below and the exhibit runs through April 7. All events are $10 for non-members, $8 for members, and $5 for students. Register early — you're not the only academic in town.
- Bustin' Loose: Stories from D.C.'s Underground Music Scenes, Tuesday, March 12, 7 pm Panel Discussion: Tomorrow, take in this panel featuring homegrown experts of the unique-to-D.C. underground youth culture of go-go and hardcore, just swapping stories: 9:30 Club owner Seth Hurwitz; D.C. Go-Go and hip-hop artist DJ Kool; discographer, writer and DJ Iley Brown, II; and musician Alec MacKaye.
- Go-Go Music: The History and Evolution of DC's Legendary Beat, Monday, March 18, 7 pm Lecture: Ever heard of ethnomusicology? Of course you have. Expert Kip Lornell, Adjunct Professor of American Music and Ethnomusicology at George Washington University and co-author of The Beat: Go Go Music from Washington, DC, will talk about go-go music's development and ongoing popularity, including the births of bands such as Rare Essence (RE), Trouble Funk, and Junk Yard Band in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as more recent bands and their modern take.
- DIY DC, Thursday, March 28, 7 pm Panel Discussion: Do-It-Yourself was not invented by Martha Stewart, people. Both go-go and punk subcultures followed a DIY approach, often promoting their own music, making their own posters and creating their own scene outside of a mainstream record label or industry. Discussion will focus on the music and gangs of pre-gentrification DC and panelists include Trouble Funk's "Big" Tony Fisher, Rare Essence's Andre "Whiteboy" Johnson, Washington music writer Mark Jenkins, former D.C. Police detective Donald "Goose" Gossage and Gangster George, a former member of the Gangster Chronicles crew.

Ever walked past the 9:30 Club at 10 am on a Saturday morning and heard the sound of 60-plus drums? That's the drum corps I play with, Batala Washington, having our weekly practice session. You might have seen us otherwise at the Marine Corps marathon, at the AIDS rally with Wyclef Jean, at the annual Cherry Blossom festival or just playing a guerilla show at 14th and U Streets NW.
Most recently, Batala participated in three separate shows in New York and New Jersey as part of the 50th anniversary tour of The Rolling Stones. You read that right, The Rolling Stones. Yep, we were in the same show as Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and The Black Keys!
Batala Washington is an all-women percussion band that empowers women through drumming & promotes Brazil's dynamic music & culture. Currently, we have over 60 members from the greater DC area, playing Afro-Brazilian / Samba-Reggae rhythms as part of the international collective of Batala bands. Batala Washington was voted by City Paper as DC's 2012 Best Local Band.
On Saturday, January 12, we will be joined by percussionists from the National Symphony Orchestra in a demonstration and workshop as part of NSO in Your Community. The FREE event, from 11 am to 1 pm at the 9:30 Club will be an interactive workshop with the audience. For you fellow musicians, you are welcome to bring your drums and play with us. If not, just bring yourself, your friends, your kids, and your participation and we will have some spare drums.
Come out and support the NSO, Batala Washington and the community as we fill the U Street Corridor with music! Or, just come out to have a good time!

JBG Companies and Walton Street Capital are currently working on the Atlantic Plumbing development project, which will bring three buildings of residences and more than 25,000 square feet of retail space to 8th and V Streets NW, the area by the 9:30 Club. The project includes retail space dedicated to local artists, luxury "green" amenities and streetscape improvements.
The addresses for the three sites are:
- 807 V Street NW and 2112 8th Street NW
- 2030 8th Street NW
- 933-945 Florida Avenue NW
Construction on the first two sites is expected to start early next year (Spring 2013) and finish in late 2014.
"We have not determined whether the project will deliver as apartments or condos, or split between the two buildings," said James Nozar of JBG Companies.
"That decision will be based on market conditions as we get closer to delivery. However, we are building both buildings to such a high-level of design that we could make that determination very near the time of delivery of the buildings without impacting the project's schedule."
In addition to 375 living units, the Atlantic Plumbing project's first two sites will also deliver approximately 25,000 square feet of combined ground-floor retail space.
"We're targeting more artistic/cultural uses including a possible small theater, as well as a café or restaurant," said Nozar. "There will be approximately eight ground-floor studio spaces of approximately 500 square feet each that will be discounted and targeted to artists and other creative users, subject to them being open during certain hours in order to activate the streetscape and provide a haven for arts-related uses."
Atlantic Plumbing will also have a large setback along V Street NW to allow for a small plaza and outdoor dining uses. This space will also accommodate the evening lines from the project's neighbor, the 9:30 Club.
According to Nozar, it's too early to project price-points for the living spaces; these will be set closer to completion of the project. The project plans to include units that range from 500 square-foot junior one bedrooms, to 1,400 square foot two-plus bedroom units.
Atlantic Plumbing will also dedicate approximately 10 percent of the units as affordable housing units to those earning at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income, per DC's Inclusionary Housing policy.
The designers of the project include Morris Adjmi, who will be leading the design of the exterior and interiors. Morris is teamed with local architect Eric Colbert & Associates, the Architect of Record.
Currently planned amenities for the project, include:
- State-of-the art fitness center with stretching and yoga/spin area
- Lounge area with bar, living room and home theater
- Large landscaped garden
- Private rooftop vegetable garden plots
- Rooftop pool with panoramic city views from 110 feet in the air
- Rooftop flume pools
- Rooftop bar and commercial kitchen for food classes and resident use
- Rooftop kitchenettes/BBQs with private seating areas
- Outdoor rooftop movie screening area
- Rooftop living room with fire pit
- Significant green roof and an eight-story vertical garden
- Programming of artist studios at the ground level
- Private bike storage rooms
- Electric car charging stations
- Significant streetscape improvements, including plazas and landscaping along 8th & V Streets
JBG has an email address for those interested in the artist studio spaces: APArtistStudios[AT]jbg.com.

Satellite Room, the latest dining addition to the U Street area, is now up and running, giving concert go-ers a reason to show up before the 9:30 Club's doors open.
The new restaurant (located directly behind the 9:30 Club) has a menu bursting with diner-style food (think burgers, tacos, meatloaf and pancakes) and even serves booze-laden milkshakes. The decor also sticks with the diner theme, only a bit more rock-and-roll than '50s prep. Some pictures from Urban Daddy give us a peak at the red booths and the exposed brick.
Satellite Room is at 2047 9th Street NW.

Happy Heat Wave, Borderstanis. It's been a while since I've written a music review…mostly because I haven't been to a concert in over six weeks. (Yes, Borderstan still doesn't have a regular concert contributor. Yes, the editors are still looking for one. Interested?)
My self-imposed melodic drought came to an end on July 3, when a friend asked me if I'd like to accompany him and a few others to see the Scissor Sisters, part two of their back-to-back concerts at the 9:30 Club. Ok, before I go any further, it's full disclosure time. I'm not the biggest fan of the Scissor Sisters. Don't get me wrong, I dig some of their songs, but they'd never crack my top 20 bands/artists list of all time. Not to mention, I've already seen them once when they opened for Lady Gaga early last year at the Verizon Center (a non-ideal music venue in my humble opinion). So really, I never intended to see them again.
But I do love the idea of spontaneously going to see live music. (Living in Austin for 10 years will do that to you.) And it was technically a "weekend" night considering that I, like a good portion of the District, had the 4th off from work. So why the hell not. Right?
You know, sometimes, it takes seeing a band in the right place at the right time with the right attitude to become a lifelong fan. At approximately 11:01 pm on Tuesday, July 3rd, I became that lifelong fan. It certainly didn't hurt that Jake Shears, Ana Matronic and the rest of the gang kicked off the set with one of my favorites, "Any Which Way," a tribute to its disco forefathers. The rest of the evening felt like an unbelievably fun party scored by a medley of tracks–old and new–including "Comfortably Numb" (yep, the remake of the Pink Floyd song), "Take Your Mama," "Only the Horses," "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'," (ironic, that the whole place erupted in a dance party), and "Let's Have a Kiki," a recent club hit reminiscent of early 90s house tracks by Deee-Lite and Crystal Waters.
Speaking of Kikis (slang of a get-together where the participants dish a little gossip and dirt), the highlight of the evening for yours truly was when Matronic brutally took-down an audience member in the front row for texting or tweeting during the band's performance. Listen, I'm a social media nut, but sometimes you gotta put down the iPhone and experience life, especially during an amazing concert. Plus, there's nothing more frustrating than seeing someone elbow their way to the front, then stand there like a mannequin (or, in this case, not pay attention). This is a gift; don't squander it.
All-in-all, "this kiki was marvelous." Even though they didn't play "Filthy/Gorgeous."
That's it for me this time, kids. Stay cool!

Who We Are
Our mission is to provide Rescue, Recovery and Restoration in Jesus' Name. Each of the three components of our Ministry - Rescue, Recovery and Restoration - is about meeting people in crisis where they are, caring for them with dignity and restoring them to healthy, productive lives.
To really understand what we do, though, you must also understand why we serve. Our belief is that God has so much more for the men, women and children of Western North Carolina struggling with poverty, homelessness and addiction.
We are called to help bring stability to the chaos of these wounded lives and help them discover the plans and potential that God has placed in them.
Whether serving hundreds of meals each day, providing thousands of beds each year, offering a free residential addiction program, or equipping the working poor with life skills and job training, we are committed to reflecting the love of Jesus in a way that changes lives and transforms our community.
Our History
Western Carolina Rescue Ministries has served our community faithfully since March of 1981. For over thirty years, we have seen God move mightily in the lives of the men and women we serve. Some women and men come in for food and shelter, while others benefit from our one-year residential recovery program which offers freedom from the chains of addiction. People are at the heart of our mission, and they need God's love.
"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
Jesus (Gospel of Matthew 25:40)
In 1979, Rev. Arch Cameron who played an important role in the ministry's beginnings wanted people to have , " a place where they can come in from the cold, have a warm meal, and get the help they need to turn their lives around."
The orignal name of the ministry was Western Carolina Rescue "Mission," and while we have stayed true to our rescue mission roots, we have added recovery and restoration services to better serve our community.

Dead rich star Michael JacksonMichael Jackson has earned $100 million since his death.
Executors of the singer's estate claim money from a film deal and merchandising contracts has "flooded" into Michael's bank accounts since he died in June.
They predict the pop superstar will make another $100 million by the end of the year, and expect him to overtake Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain and Elvis Presley - who have made $745 million and $599 million respectively from beyond the grave - as the highest-earning dead celebrity in the next 12 months.
Lawyer John Branca, who is co-executor of Michael's estate, said: "Clearly this will be a new record for estates that likely will not be broken. Elvis' estate makes $55 million a year. This will be a bigger estate."
Branca and fellow co-executor, music executive John McClain, have put together a series of deals for commemorative coins, school supplies, a coffee-table book and a film.
They have also been retrieving funds held for Michael by anonymous creditors, thought to amount to "several million pounds", and tallying the value of the singer's property, memorabilia and art collections.
While Michael's earnings steadily increase, his older sister La Toya has spoken about her grief at her sibling's passing.
She said: "It's a very difficult moment for all of us. It's almost - you don't believe it - so you try to do the best you can by feeling his love, by helping and doing something he would want you to do."
Meanwhile, law enforcement sources claim Michael's doctor Conrad Murray had Propofol hidden in the singer's house.
Police officers found three large bottles and five smaller vials of the anesthetic stashed in a closet in Murray's bedroom at the star's Los Angeles home.
They also believe Murray received regular shipments of the powerful drug - reportedly used to help Michael sleep, and believed to have played a part in his death - through courier service FedEx, which he then hid in other locations.
The search warrant used to raid the Las Vegas pharmacy frequented by Murray showed investigators were looking for FedEx records relating to "the purchase, transfer, receiving, ordering, delivery and storage of Propofol to Dr. Conrad Murray".
Police were also looking for credit card receipts relating to a purchase of Propofol the doctor made in May.

Actress Sonam Kapoor Monday unveiled the trailer of her forthcoming film "Khoobsurat", and said the film's producer and director have "exposed me completely in this film".
A remake of Rekha and Rakesh Roshan starrer 1980s super-hit film "Khubsoorat", it has been directed by Shashanka Ghosh and produced by Sonam's sister Rhea.
Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Afzal Khan will be seen as the male lead in the movie.
"There was no problem on the set because Rhea, Shashanka and the writer (Indira Bisht) knew me so well that very shamelessly they have taken every part of my personality and exposed me completely in the film," Sonam told reporters at the launch.
Although it is her home production, Sonam didn't have to take any extra responsibility other than acting.
"I am just an actor, there's no responsibility. It's only Rhea and Shashanka's responsibility, I have only done acting and nothing else," said the 29-year-old.
"When I take on a job as an actor, I only concentrate on doing that, otherwise there is a conflict. You have to just do your best with what you have got," she said and added that when she starts thinking about the responsibilities, then she "won't be able to go to work next day in the morning".
"So it's just the matter of taking each day, enjoying my work and saying that I will be a selfish actor and I will do my best for the film," Sonam said.
In the recent past, Sonam has been part of hits like "Raanjhanaa" and "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag". However, her last release "Bewakoofiyaan" bombed at the box office.
Shashanka said his version takes the story forward.
"Original was just a clash of values within the family and here we have taken it a little further but we have held on to the core idea."
If Dina Pathak played a strict mother in the original, her daughter Ratna will be seen in the remake.
Shraddha records an unplugged version of her song for her fans

It's no secret that as young adults we have lots of options when it comes to, well, just about everything. Want to meet someone? Pages and pages of matches are available at any number of online dating sites (anyone seen the ads for farmersonly.com? When it comes to online dating, there's something for everyone). Like coffee? Any local coffeehouse offers enough choices to be overwhelming to even the most decisive person. Ever turned on your TV only to find there's nothing good on, despite over 200 channels?
The number of options in these scenarios isn't necessarily a negative. But sometimes I wonder if, in the face of so many options in every area of life, we can become paralyzed and afraid to commit. We wonder, What if I'm missing out? What if something better is just around the corner?
In his article "Are You Worshipping the God of 'Open Options'?", Barry Cooper asks if the idol of open options has enslaved us.
"In his book The Paradox of Choice, psychologist Barry Schwartz explains why we have trouble committing, why we love to keep our options open. He says that as a culture we demand choice. We demand options. We imagine that more options mean more freedom. And most people think that limitless freedom must be a good option.
"The irony, Schwartz writes, is that this apparently limitless choice doesn't actually make us happy. The number of choices available to us becomes overwhelming, and actually makes it difficult for us to ever have the joy of fully committing to anything or anyone. Even if we do commit, our culture then makes us feel dissatisfied with the choice we've made."
There's something to the idea of commitment. It's a sign of maturity and is a fruit of faith in God that He is sovereign over every decision, and we can trust Him with all of the other options we might be saying no to.
I live in Colorado Springs where the number of churches is overwhelming. There's a church for every shape and size you can imagine. When I first moved here, I went to a church where a guy I knew from college was leading the young adult ministry. I liked it, so I stayed. Sure, I visited a few other churches just to make sure, but at some point I just had to commit to a church. I could visit a new church every Sunday for a year and still have more left, so there was no way to hedge my bets and keep my options open. I committed, even at the expense of "missing out" on other great churches.
My favorite part of traditional marriages vows is the line that says "forsaking all others" because it signals the commitment that marriage requires. Even if I would meet someone who might seem like a "better" choice, I gave up that option at the altar. Marriage is every day looking at your spouse and saying "I choose you."
"God created us to commit," writes Cooper. "To him, and to others. He created us to choose. It's right to be careful in our decision making, of course: to pray, to seek counsel from Scripture and from wise Christians. The bigger the decision, the more careful we should be.
"But there comes a point when pausing becomes procrastination, when waiting is no longer wise. There comes a point when not to choose becomes idolatry. It becomes a lack of trust in the God who ordains the decisions we will make, gathers up the frayed ends, and works all things for our good and his glory.
"Be wise, but then rest in God's total sovereignty and goodness, and choose. Commit. Make a decision. Be wholehearted and single-minded."
Having lots of options isn't a bad thing, but making an idol out of it is. I want to trust God enough that I can commit to things and people as He leads, resting in the peace that comes with knowing God can work every decision for His glory.

"Macau - former Portuguese Colony" Top 5 Page for this destination Macao by vincentf
Macao Travel Guide: 1,935 reviews and 5,820 photos
Macau - a mixture of Chinese and Portuguese cultures was reverted back to China in 1999. However, it still retains its European architecture and food. It has a population of 455,000. Ruins of Saint Paul is the landmark of Macau which was burned down in 1835. It is just a mere 1-hour boat ride from Hong Kong. Thus, many Hong Kong locals visit this region over a weekend. Macau is also known as Monte Carlo of the Orient due to its numerous casinos.
Throughout the region, a rich atmosphere of European architecture is found. Many visitors will pass through the busy section of Senado Square. It is paved with yellow cobblestones and lined with European styled buildings. At night, the square is flood lit creating an ambient atmosphere.
This is the most famous landmark of Macau - Ruins of St. Paul. It is located at the top of a small hill.
NOTE: Since December 2004, I have been working in Macau. Thus, I will learn more and more about this unique place. I will update the page as I continue to work in Macau. Many monuments and buildings have been listed in UNESCOs World Heritage Sites in July 2005.

The "Suits" season 3 finale airs Thursday night on the USA network and fans will surely be left wanting more. Has season 4 already been ordered by the network? Luckily fans won't be left hanging on the answer to this one as can so often be the case with fan favorite shows. TVLine confirmed the news regarding a "Suits" renewal on April 8.
"Suits" season 4 is already in the works and will begin airing on USA this summer. At this point it seems that all of the key players on the cast will be returning. The show's Facebook page teases that the season 3 finale will feature a showdown between the U.S. attorney's office and Pearson Specter. The official synopsis at TV Guide adds that Harvey and Scottie will struggle to get on the same page while Rachel and Mike face different visions of their future.
What can fans expect in season 4 of "Suits"? Spoilers reveal that D.B. Woodside from "24" and Brendan Hines from "Lie to Me" will be joining the cast. Both actors will likely be quite familiar faces for many viewers, as they have played multiple roles across numerous television shows. Woodside of course played President Wayne Palmer on "24." He has also been seen on "Parenthood" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Hines has had roles on "Scandal," "Castle" and "Covert Affairs."
A season 4 "Suits" premiere date does not appear to have been set by USA yet, but previous seasons have started in June and July. Fans have been vocal about not liking the split season format used this time around, though it has become quite common with a number of shows. It seems unclear at this point whether USA will split season 4 like they did for season 3. Stay tuned for more news regarding a season 4 premiere date for "Suits" and tune into USA on Thursday, April 10 for the season 3 finale.

Once the United States ruled boxing's heavier weight divisions. Those days are just a fading memory. Showtime's Super Six tournament in the 168-pound division has demonstrated the rise of European fighters. Undefeated Olympic bronze medallist Andre Dirrell lost a split decision to Carl Froch in the U.K., former middleweight champion Jermain Taylor, another Olympic bronze medallist, was knocked spark out in the closing seconds of his fight with Arthur Abraham in Germany and his career is in doubt. Will it be more of the same in the closing stage of the tournament's opening-bracket bouts when Andre Ward, the Olympic gold medallist, challenges Denmark's WBA champion Mikkel Kessler in Ward's hometown of Oakland, CA, on Saturday? . . . click here for more
Ramos wins WBA belt…
By Boxing Bob Newman
The Events Center at the Plaza Mayor in Medellin, Colombia played host to the ten bout card headlined by the battle for the vacant WBA Interim Super Featherweight title. Several WBA regional titles were also scheduled as part of the 88th WBA annual convention festivities. A crowd of approximately 500 locals and convention delegates were on hand to enjoy the fisticuffs. Local hero Likar Ramos took on Venezuelan veteran Angel Granados for the vacant WBA Interim Super Featherweight title. The shorter Ramos caught the 35 year old Granados quickly in the opening moments or a flash knockdown. For more details and photos click here…
Medziah victorious
By Peter Lim
A Russian version of Mike Tyson was unveiled in the form of 22-year-old power punching cruiserweight Medziah, who goes by just one name, at the Stafford Center on the outskirts of Houston. Trained by 1984 Olympic gold medalist and former two-division world titleholder Frank Tate, Medziah made a successful pro debut by knocking out Louis Webster, (0-1), at 1:12 of the third round. Although Tate was one of the best exponents of the left jab in his hey-day, it is a weapon thus far absent from Medziah's arsenal. Instead, Medziah's preference is to hide behind a peekaboo defense and dip under incoming blows before unloading explosive punches with both fists, a mode of combat uncannily reminiscent of Tyson in his destructive prime.

Kessler-Ward officials set
By Boxing Bob Newman
After much haggling, and transcontinental communications, the debate over the officials for Saturday's WBA Super Middleweight title fight between champion Mikkel Kessler and Andre Ward, the final fight of round one of the Super Six Boxing Classic in Oakland, California has been settled. Judge Micheal Hook of Sweden and judge Stanley Christodoulou of South Africa will leave the WBA convention in Medellin, Colombia on Friday morning and will arrive at the airport in San Francisco that same evening. This will be in time to join California judge Steve Morrow and California referee Jack Riess at ringside Saturday night for the main event. There had been much consternation from the Kessler camp over a proposed all-California team of officials. The Super Six Boxing Classic contract, which was signed by all the participants involved called for two neutral officials at each fight in the tournament. WBA sanctioning of the fight as a title fight was in jeopardy, but is now restored.

Kessler-Ward Presser Report
By David Robinett
On a clear, brisk afternoon in downtown Oakland, California, WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler and 2004 U.S. Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward held court before an international press corp and a smattering of fans to announce their Super Six World Boxing Classic Group Stage 1 bout this Saturday at Oracle Arena in Oakland. But all was not well as the participants took their turns at the dais. Prior to the press conference, word had broken that Kessler's promoter Sauerland Event was objecting to the selection of the referee and judges for Saturday's championship fight. Promoter Wilfried Sauerland used his opportunity to speak to address the issue. "The one thick cloud hanging over us in this beautiful blue sky is the referee and judges," said Sauerland. "Andre has the home advantage and Dan Goossen has done a great job of securing home advantage for all three fights while all the other guys have to travel around the world. But one thing we do not accept is that the referee and all the judges come from California." (more…)
Mosquera on the comback trail
When boxing fans last saw WBA super featherweight champion Vicente 'El Loco' Mosquera (24-2-1, 12 KOs) he was defending his title in an exciting shoot out with then contender and now world champion Edwin Valero in August 2006. The bout was a thriller that saw both fighters knocking the other down. In the end it was Valero winning and taking Mosquera's title. However, Mosquera's effort left many fans wanting to see more of him and his exciting fight style. Sadly the Valero fight would be Mosquera's last fight as not too long after that he was implicated in an unclear situation that resulted in the death of a person (which Mosquera to this date stands by his innoncence) and was sent to prison. Fast forward three years and Mosquera recently released from prison still has aspirations in the ring. (more…)

In the second round the more confident Aldo began to unload with hard punches until he stunned Brown and took him to the mat. Once on top Aldo delivered a barrage of punches until the fight was stopped at the 1:20 mark. (more…)

TotalizationYou can use this accumulation feature to weigh a sequence of items together. This is a great feature if ya need a scale with cumulative weighing for compounding ingredients.
RS-232 PortThe Citizen CZ 103 has an RS232 communication port built in for easy communication with printers and computers.
Stainless Steel PlatformThis precision balance has a durable stainless steel weighing platform that doesn't scratch easily and will keep its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
Tare FeatureThe tare button on the front of CZ103 precision lab scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use a container to weigh your things.
Liquid Level Indicator & Adjustable FeetTo get the most accurate weight readings from this precision scale, Citizen designed the CZ103 with a liquid level indicator and adjustable feet for adjusting the balance.
1 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY!Citizen Scales Inc. offers a one year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. In the rare case ya have a problem with this scale, just give Citizen a call for a repair or replacement.
