The Hissing of Summer Lawns
A friend sent me a copy of Joni Mitchell's The Hissing of Summer Lawns LP, along with the warning that it probably wouldn't leave my turntable for months. Well, so far, he's right.
Despite being critically panned when it was released, this album has aged well, to say the least. By far Mitchell's most experimental and daring work, I have become more fond of this record with each and every listen. The friend who sent me the album described it as having "screenplay-like detail and oftentimes disturbing views of American life in the 1970's", going on to add, "Joni Mitchell effectively gets a head start on Nas, Tupac and Biggie without even so much as a mic check".
If you don't already own The Hissing of Summer Lawns, I highly recommend you seek this out, you won't be disappointed.

Advances in recent years in endodontics, such introduction of rotary Niquel Titanium (NiTi) instrumentation have simplified the treatment process and improved the long term success in terms of procedural time, accuracy, and risk reduction compared with the previously used, manual, stainless steel files. However, selecting the most appropriate NiTi system remains difficult for clinicians because of the large number of NiTi rotary instruments available nowadays on the market. This paper aims to show, analyze and emphasize, on the basis of every day clinical practice, the possibility of realizing predictability root canal preparations with the crown down technique of ProTaper Universal system.
Palavras-chave : root canal treatment; rotary instrumentation; crown-down technique; Protaper Universal.

I'm probably going to write a generic software watchdog timer, and modify wdogctl to optionally do some file I/O before resetting the timer. Second, there are (at least) two ways to implement a software watchdog timer. The most obvious is to use the callout mechanism; there's clearly no point to doing that in the kernel. But -- on some platforms -- callouts are done via a softintr call, and that runs at a much lower priority than the hardware clock interrupt. There are many states where a hardware clock interrupt can get through, but not a softinr. If the watchdog timer is counted down by the hardware clock interrupt, but tickled by the callout, there is still some benefit to a kernel tickle. Sure, I'd rather have a pcweasel board. But at $350 for the PCI version, it's rather beyond my budget for this project... --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb (me) http://www.wilyhacker.com (2nd edition of "Firewalls" book)

A former police constable is currently at Port of Spain General Hospital in a critical condition after he was shot several times about his body early yesterday morning.
While up to press time full details remained unavailable, police sources told the Express that around 1 a.m, residents of Nelson Street, Port of Spain heard several loud explosions.
Upon checking, they found 31-year-old Marlon King, who was said to reside at Santa Rosa Heights, Arima, lying in a pool of blood along the roadway.
He was bleeding from multiple gunshot injuries to his upper torso.
The police and emergency health services were notified and the injured man was rushed to hospital.
Up to late yesterday, he was still at the Intensive Care Unit in a critical condition.
Sources said that King resigned from the Police service in February.
Investigations are continuing.

Media Capture: The Relationship Between Power, Media Freedom and Advocacy
Arguably, the biggest challenge to media freedom and independent journalism today is the systemic political corruption in which private interests shape the decision-making process in state bodies and institutions. Increasingly, a model of captive, politically instrumentalized news media financed by owners, corporations, social and political groups, or governments, is becoming dominant in most parts of the world. This has severe consequences on independent media and journalism.

Sterling Silver Dance Card
from Kosair Shrine Temple
This is a sterling silver Dance Card from Kosair Temple in Louisville, Kentucky. This was used by the young ladies at their coming out parties to keep track of the men they had danced with and to write down "special notes" about each one of them. It came with its own pencil on a string and bears the Kosair Shrine Temple logo on one side and a beautiful figural Victorian lady on the front. It measures 3 1/2 inches tall by 2 1/2 inches wide.
This wonderful piece is a treasured hierloom in our museum and we would like to "Thank" Mrs. Joy Cook of St. Petersburg, Florida who was a Secretary at Kosair Temple for 25 years for donating this item to us! Thanks Joy!

We must admit that such a move was just a matter of time, as some people just can't stand someone's success without wanting to grab a piece for themselves. This time, it's a fitness guru named Michael Torchia who claims that Wii Fit is doing nothing but "contributing to the epidemic of obesity".
He goes on saying how people throw away their gym clothes and shy away from outdoors since this device gives hope that it'll make them fit. He also added how Nintendo created a false image of this product while hiding the potential risks, very much like the tobacco companies whom he directly compared the company to.
Well, we can't say that we're not detecting a note of bitterness here, as Wii Fit is probably stepping on his "fitness" toes, but we're yet to see whether this is just a publicity stunt or Mr. Michael is really serious on putting the Wii Fit saga to an end.

Why Does Google Search Love Examiner.com? – While catching up on our holiday reading and writing, we came across an interesting post from Time.com on Examiner.com. If you are not familiar with Examiner, the story does an adequate job of describing the quasi-organized blogger mash-up. While the story about the Examiner is interesting enough, we wanted to highlight three points from the article.
- Content is still King, at least to Google. I cannot remember a more simplistic, yet true statement about how good SEO is focused around good…not original…content:
"…by stocking the lake with so many fish every day, Examiner.com increases the chances that Google trawlers will haul one of theirs up."
- Pro-Am content is a good middle ground. We have talked at length about the swing from professional content (Frommer's) to amateur content (TripAdvisor)…is Examiner.com a look at the content future? Too soon to tell, but we like this direction and not either extreme.
- Don't overlook the little guys. If you have never heard of Examiner.com prior to this article, you might want to broaden your SEO strategy. Sure, TripAdvisor is still the biggest fish in this sea of nameless reviews and links, but sites such as Examiner.com can offer an equally powerful SEO boost with a lot less editorial pitching.

Garlic Croûtes
These bread slices are visual bonuses to bowls of soup. You can make them hours in advance and just pop them into the oven to warm a few minutes before serving.
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Yield: Makes 8 croûtes
- 8 slice French of Italian bread (slice on a diagonal)
- 4 tsp. extravirgin olive oil (you may need a little more)
- 4 small cloves garlic
- Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the bread slices on the baking sheet and brush bread on both sides with olive oil. Broil on both sides until lightly golden. Rub cut side of garlic over one or both sides of the toasted bread.
- Variations: Cheese Croûtes Omit the olive oil and garlic. Mix 1/2 cup grated cheese (such as sharp Cheddar or Pecorino-Romano) and 2 tablespoons softened butter together until smooth in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper, powdered mustard, and cayenne pepper so the mixture is spicy. Broil the bread, as above, on one side until toasted. Turn the slices over, spread the top with cheese butter, dividing evenly, and broil again until the tops are golden brown.

Detoured to D.C. Via Vegas
When, in the spring of 2012 Moscow completely banned Karl from entering the country for a period of five years, the indefatigable Yorkshireman decided to go on a 3,000-mile jaunt from Los Angeles to the Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. In September 2013 – with the support of 'House of Cards' creator Beau Willimon and record label owner Jordan Tappis – he set out on the 3,000-mile hike to the U.S. capital, where he hopes to convince the Russian government to grant him a visa. As of October 15, Karl was in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was raising awareness about his quest. Celebrity reporter Robin Leach and former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman came out to meet him as he walked onto the strip and he was offered a free meal at Gordon Ramsay's Pub & Grill and a room at Caesar's Palace. While posh grub and ritzy accommodations are somewhat novel for Karl, the real change on this leg has been his ability to get more people engaged with his mission via social media. "When I started out, it was before an age of smart phones, GPS, and the Internet," he told Leach. "I began with just a cassette player and a disposable camera. I've progressed as technology has progressed, and now, with GPS and the Web, everybody knows where I am any time of the day or night." Anyone interested in watching the longest walk in human history live can now tune in to Bushby3000.com, which Karl uses to broadcast his whereabouts. He's also gotten aggressive about maintaining his Instagram feed, which is currently full of images of Nevada's barren wastes (and his very plush hotel room).Back to top

Textron to end the production of cluster munitions
Great news! American company Textron has announced it will end its involvement with cluster munitions. This is wonderful news and truly a victory for the global campaign against cluster munitions showcasing the valuable contribution divestment makes to disarmament. Hopefully, Textron will consider also ending its production of key components for nuclear weapons.
Over the years, PAX has published the "Worldwide Investments in Cluster Munitions" report, identifying Textron as cluster munition producer. Our 2016 update revealed that worldwide, 49 financial institutions had financial ties to Textron, with a total of US$12370,83 million invested. PAX and campaigners active in the Stop Explosive Investments campaign have engaged tirelessly with many investors over the years to urge them to cease their financial support of Textron. This article's analysis suggests that pressure from the financial sector has had an effect:
"A Couple of Hidden Positives: On the surface, yesterday's announcement seems like a non-event, but we come away with two observations that we think investors shouldn't overlook. First off, we note that SFW served as a product that limited the "ownability" of TXT shares among foreign investment funds, due largely to interpretations of where TXT stood vis-a-vis international weapons treaties. Arguably, the discontinuation of this product line could expand the addressable investor base for TXT shares by a material amount (i.e. most of Europe), in an industrial vertical (A&D) where investable choices are slim but performance has been strong over the years."
Congratulations to colleagues that have worked tirelessly to end the production and use of cluster munitions. The decision by Textron to stop production demonstrates the valuable link between divestment and disarmament. Read more on the Stop Explosive Investments site.

SAN FRANCISCO -- With the help of several outstanding defensive plays, Matt Cain threw the first perfect game in Giants franchise history Wednesday, striking out a career-high 14 batters as San Francisco blanked the Houston Astros 10-0.
Cain's gem was challenged twice. In the top of the sixth, Chris Snyder hit a flyball to deep left-center that was caught by Melky Cabrera, who made a mini-leap at the wall to prevent Snyder from getting an extra-base hit. Cain said afterward that he thought Snyder's drive was going to clear the fence.

Suunto Elementum Terra All Black Watch Is All Black
Eric Schmidt's Gang Of Four: Google, Apple, Amazon, And Facebook
This is just a new color variation on an existing model from Suunto, but damn is it a looker. The all-black casing and negative display make for a stealthy look, and it retains all the sweet functions of the other, less handsome designs.
The Terra has an altimeter, barometer, 3D compass, and a number of other features useful for mountaineering. Not that I'm going to be mountaineering any time soon, but maybe if I wore this watch, people would think I'm capable of it. Or not.

That means you can post it on your local network. You are not to reproduce it on the www at large. The reasoning that Oracle would probably use is that you pay a fee for access to metalink. Reproducing the information from there to non-authorized (non-paying) people would be viewed as a copyright violation or support license violation. Since your folks on the local network are working under a legal support license, reproducing it there shouldn't be a problem.

This trailer for Hitchcock came out last week, but I'm just getting around to posting it now.
Anthony Hopkins plays the filmmaking heavyweight in this behind the scenes look at the making of Psycho. Scarlett Johansson is on hand as that movie's female lead, Janet Leigh, and Jessica Biel, little seen here, is Psycho co-star Vera Miles.
But from what you can glimpse from this preview, I think Helen Mirren is going to be getting the bulk of the praise for her performance as Hitch's wife, Alma Reville. What say you think?

Catherine McAuley Westmead's staff and students will farewell their principal of nine years, Margery Jackman on April 11.
''There is joy and sadness in leaving,'' she said.
''My fondest memories are always of interaction with staff and students and that is what I will miss — their vitality, joy, enthusiasm and warmth.
''I feel it's good for a school to have a fresh leader with fresh vision.''
Staff, parents, students and principals of neighbouring schools in the diocese attended a farewell mass at St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta, on Monday.
The school choir sang throughout the mass, which ended with a 'circle of mercy'.
Students lit individual candles from the flame of Ms Jackman's candle then formed a large circle around her to symbolise enclosing her in God's arms.
Ms Jackman said the blessing and opening of the school's chapel last year and the excellent HSC results of the school's 2013 students were highlights of her time as principal.
There were five students recognised on the premier's all-rounder achievement list and 26 per cent of the cohort achieved an ATAR above 90.
Laetitia Richmond, a former assistant principal at Nagle College in Blacktown, will begin as the school's new principal at the start of term 2.
Travel and more time with family are in Ms Jackman's immediate retirement plans.
She will take The Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin and visit Kakadu National Park before a longer trip in September, where she will make a pilgrimage across northern England to Ireland.
She will walk the 120 kilometres in six days on her own.
''I'm looking forward to the solitude after such a busy career,'' she said.
''For me it's more about the meditation aspect and being in touch with God.''

This Thread is about my Android Game and I want you to check it and comment about it in here. I take critism very seriously, why I re-released my game with brand new stuff like graphics, better gameplay, bonus levels and so on.
Torstan Defense is some kind of tower puzzle defense, with a touch of "Plants vs. Zombies". I could tell you a lot about it indeed, but I think let those pictures and the video speak for itself. I just please all the Android Users to download it (of course for free!) and if you got something to say about the game, even if it is good or bad, tell me in here!
Here is more about it on my blog:
and of course the link to Google Play:
Hope you like it!

Mounty Marty clinical sites
I was wondering if anyone had attended or is currently attending Mount Marty's CRNA program? My main question is what cities are the clinical sites in? I saw on their web site that they are in NE, IA, SD and MN. I just applied there along with some other schools. Any help would be appreciated!!

It's getting to be a sad place here at the movie blog. First, America's sheriff Andy Griffith dies and then the next week 95-year-old Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine joins him in Hollywood heaven.
Yesterday, in an odd coincidence, another 95-year-old Oscar winner died – veteran movie, stage and TV actress, Celeste Holm. Another point in common between Holm and Borgnine? They both were married five times and are survived by their final spouse. But while Holm and Borgnine both won Golden Globes and scored multiple Emmy nominations, only Holm had a long string of Broadway credits, including originating the role of Ado Annie in "Oklahoma." She was the girl who couldn't say no.
But of course, it's on the big screen where Holm shone brightest. There was her supporting actress Academy Award-winning turn in Gentleman's Agreement. And "normal" female character, Karen, caught between Bette Davis' imperious veteran star and Anne Baxter's conniving newcomer in All About Eve. And the writer of the title epistle – as well as the voice heard on the soundtrack – in A Letter to Three Wives.
She was pegged as a character actress, but that character was most often very similar to Holm – bright eyed and with a bright-eyed style. Gifted at both comedy and drama, her mere presence in a film was often enough to prove cliches true: it could "leave you with a smile on your face" or "make you feel all good inside."
Her credits also include The Snake Pit, Come to the Stable, The Tender Trap, High Society, Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding!, Tom Sawyer, and Ted Danson's mother in Three Men and a Baby. (She's in the infamous "ghost behind the curtain" scene.)
Home had been in ill health for the past decade and was admitted to a hospital last month for dehydration. She suffered a heart attack there last Friday and died on Sunday in her home, where she had chosen to live out her final days. She's survived by her husband since 2004, Frank Basile, an opera singer 46 years her junior, and her two sons.

We all know that at the moment on all that gear in Throne of Thunder is way to much hit.
I'm wondering if there is some statement from blizzard, how they will work with that hit
in future content, it's no fun being 5% over cap with no chance......

I treat hit like i do oil in a car. its better to be over than under. As long as the excess hit is put into other stuff not much you can do.
Would you like some hit with your hit?
Not to derail, but having too much oil in your car is also a bad thing. The extra pressure can blow many seals and cost lots of money to fix.
which character are you playing as a main? ur dk, monk, or druid? as dk's go we are fine on hit. just take BIS gear only. dont get off crap pieces like the hit trinket.
They need to just adjust what you need to get to "100%" hit. The fact that 2550 (for melee) doesn't change, but our ilvls go up up up as we move through each new raid Tier and item rating allocation is greater each time, is the issue.
The only way you can stay under is if you REALLY stick to the bare minimum of items without hit, and for some classes (like DKs), that relies on random stat items and shared boss loot. Both unreliable :P

on track. with alot of hit you can probably start swapping out to gear with less hit and only keep a few select pieces as a option.
20k and counting...Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
So nobody knows, or at least has seen a comment from blizz where they say how they handle hit in the next tier ?
to bad, i mean on the next tier chest, weapon, trinket or leg will be even more hit then now, who know maybe they are smart enough to put hit on other pieces and not one of them i mean there must be 1500-2000 hit then....
personally as i dnt mind the hit, im currently reforging into it even.
expertise however... ooh god what a nightmare that is. its just everywhere in huge numbers.
i don't think they should be putting Hit or Expertise on things to begin with. they should be redesigned to "reforge only" status.
gets rid of this whole problem, as there's no way you can reforge from 7.3% to 9+% on a single item. yet as it currently stands, there are classes with 9+% of hit/expertise on their gear that they can't reforge off.
edit add: would also remove the question of them increasing boss dodge and miss rates with each tier, which i know they were considering when people stated that this (excess hit and exp that wasn't removable) was going to be a problem earlier this expac.

Our DK has his feather trinket and 4pc and has no issue keeping hit in check. He doesn't even have to reforge his feather.
YMMV. The devs said they don't want every gear combination to be optimal.
the tortos bow with both expertise and hit is just over the top cruel
Reforging should be 100% of a stat instead of 40% of a stat. MoP has the biggest ilvl increase of any expansion. In 2 tiers we've gone from 463 to 549. In 3 tiers of Cata we went from 359 to 416. Based on the current scaling, I wouldn't be surprised if we reach 600 ilvl by SoO, in which case I expect most gear with Hit / Expertise will be considered useless unless they're an OP trinket or OP weapon.
The easiest 2H sword to get your hands on (council) has a load of hit.
The feather trinket (dat trinket!) would still be BiS if you couldn't use any of the hit... But by god does it have a lot on.
Any non-tier plate-dps chest from ToT IIRC has hit on it, one of them comes from Jin'rokh - a boss that most will be doing on heroic soon enough.
Both rings (discounting Ra-Den and the shado-pan rep one) have hit on them.
It pushes you into a very specific gear path, using as many tier pieces without hit to give yourself some leeway. Hell, if I ended up using a non-tier chest and wanted to keep the 4set I'd suddenly have about 10% hit I couldn't reforge out of because (you guessed it) both the tier helm and gloves have hit :-P
EDIT - IMO the removal of hit/expertise all together would likely be the best way to go, however I could see it needing a load of work to balance existing gear. Maybe the option to reforge more hit/expertise away would be a decent compromise.
There is ridiculous amount of hit on some gear, on other not so much.
Getting below 9% on my iLvL 524 (most things upgraded) guardian druid is impossible, even w/o having any hit trinkets.
For our prot. pala, same iLvL, items upgraded, getting bit below hit cap is possible. He even needs to reforge to hit.
I guess it depends on which gear classes/roles use.
Though removing hit (expertise) from gear could pose more problems then being "slightly" over the cap. If the caps of hit/exp would be left the same, then I doubt that you can reach those values w/o loosing most, if not all of your other secondary stats.
Item squash on the other hand will mean that, if that happens, all of the older bosses need to be scaled accordingly as well ^^
There's a ridiculous amount of all stats on items, that's the thing.
They could just make hit weigh more on the item allocation points, so not as much is added in comparison to the other stats, or bump up the rating as the tier goes along. Next tier, with our 570 items or whatever they will be (lol), item allocation will be a lot larger, and I wouldn't be shocked to see the hit cap meet after two heroic pieces of gear.

Katrina Kaif may ditch Salman Khan to soothe Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's lovers' tiff might be short-lived as Kat is apparently trying hard to sort out their differences by not promoting 'Fitoor' on 'Bigg Boss 9'
The world has been speculating about Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif calling time on their five-year romance, but on digging deeper, we found out that they haven't officially broken up; they merely had a lovers' tiff which may have been stretched a bit too far by Ranbir, say sources. Of course, he has his reasons, but Kat, on her part, is apparently still trying to cement the cracks in their relationship.

Last week, the break-up rumours were further fuelled when Kat was spotted at the same party as her ex, Salman Khan. Soon after, though, the actress issued a statement through her spokesperson rubbishing the reports and called it a meeting by chance. Now, in a bigger step, she is believed to have decided against promoting her next, 'Fitoor' on the finale of Salman-hosted reality show, 'Bigg Boss 9' despite having committed earlier.

Sources close to the production team of 'Fitoor' claim that Kat took it upon herself to lead the promotional blitzkrieg from the front while the makers wanted director Abhishek Kapoor to take the onus, considering that he has a way with words. "Katrina feels 'Fitoor' is a special film for her and so, she wants to go all out to promote it. The plan comprised visiting the sets of TV shows including 'Bigg Boss'. But Ranbir was not in favour of her being part of a show where Salman would be present. He had skipped going on Bigg Boss during the publicity campaign of 'Tamasha' while his co-star and ex-flame, Deepika Padukone went alone. Recently, they had a huge fight over her committing to go on the show. So, Kat has now reconsidered her decision to placate her beau," says a source.
A source working on the show said Katrina has informed the producers that she wouldn't be able to make it since she has other commitments. The channels spokesperson and Katrina remained unavailable for comment.
Another reason for the couple's tiff is attributed to the delayed schedule of Anurag Basu's 'Jagga Jasoos', in which they have been paired together. It is also Ranbir's first venture as a co-producer. "He wanted her to join him for a weeklong schedule at Mehboob Studio in Bandra. Since both 'Fitoor' and 'Jagga Jasoos' have the same film studio on board, Ranbir felt sorting Kat's dates would not be a problem. But she wanted to focus solely on Fitoor till its release. That upset him since the project has been already delayed and postponing the schedule would have made it difficult for them to release it this June," explains a source.
On Tuesday night, the two were spotted at the same event, but not together. Ranbir made an entry with his father, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor while Katrina came in with co-star Aditya Roy Kapur. Post the show, the actor went to his flat at Wilson Apartments on Hill Road while Kat drove into her old house in Waterfield Road.
But if sources are to be believed, the tiff may not last long as the actress is doing everything possible to save the ruptured relationship for a happily-ever-after.

Location: Greater Noida
Site Area: 500 Acres
Built Up Area: 8,000,000 sq.ft
For Gautam Buddha University, the ratio and proportions of the image of "Buddha in meditation" were considered to derive a rhythmically knitted pattern with strong connectivity, network and space organization. We created a dense forest at the entrance that acts as a visual and sound buffer. It creates an evident difference in environment, as the tranquility within the campus is a stark juxtaposition to the chaotic frenzy outside. The academic and faculty blocks are arranged in a radially along the Central Promenade Axis, which culminates at the feet of a magnificent statue of Buddha himself. A meditation center, with its somber domed form echoes the architectural symbolism of a stupa. It was designed to visually tie the earth with the sky when viewed in the horizon. Features like water recycling through lakes and water bodies, natural lighting and ventilation, locally sourced materials and traditional elements like lattices, sunshades and domes allowed us to further establish a strong link with the natural environment.
Gautam Buddha University was bestowed with the title of "Best Sustainable Campus" by BUILD 2016 Architecture Awards, London.

Our cash position includes $75 million in restricted cash, unchanged from the second quarter 2013. We remain committed to using our strong cash flow to invest in our business, including significant investments in R&D, while returning cash to shareholders.

Questcor also provides specialty contract manufacturing services to the global pharmaceutical industry through its wholly-owned subsidiary BioVectra Inc. Questcor's primary product is H.P. Acthar® Gel (repository corticotropin injection), an injectable drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of 19 indications.

The FDA approved package insert for Acthar includes "symptomatic sarcoidosis" under the heading "Respiratory Diseases".

World music comes to Parel
Italian guitars, British pianos and other Folk, Contemporary and Electronic sounds come together as music collective Kefaya jam on Thursday night
The genre of global Fusion music is increasingly popular in Mumbai. As a part of the Global Music Festival in Blue Frog, Kefaya, an international collective of musicians founded and led by Italian guitarist, Giuliano Modarelli and British pianist, Al MacSween will perform live. The band explores world Folk traditions through improvisation, live electronics and contemporary grooves.
Italian guitarist Giuliano Modarelli and British pianist Al MacSween
Their music bears influences from across Europe, India and Africa to the Caribbean, Latin America and the Middle East. "We started as a collective of musicians based in London, coming from all over the world with the desire to explore new ways of creating music, combining our individual cultural and musical background as well as sharing a common desire to promote ideas of equality and internationalism," says Giuliano Modarelli the band's co-founder.
The highlight of its sound is its understanding of different musical languages and that it emerges from the collective's extensive global collaborations, including with Cuban jazz pioneer Omar Puente, Flamenco singer Chico Perez, tabla maestro Bickram Ghosh, Palestinian oud virtuoso Ahmed Eriqat and many others.
Over the past few years, Kefaya has been collaborating with many Indian artistes, including Shankar Mahadevan, Bickram Ghosh, Purbayan Chaterjee, Niladri Kumar, Shankar Tucker, Paban Das Baul, Pete Lockett and Talvin Singh. In India, it will be performing materials from its soon-to-be-released debut album, Radio International, and continuing collaborations with Indian artistes. The album deals with issues like struggle for equality and liberation, stories of migration, tales of musical encounters and sounds of resistance. "Indian audiences are musically open and hungry for new sounds, so we expect it to be fun," Modarelli tells us.
On: Today, 10 pm to 12.30 am
At: Blue Frog, Mathuradas Mills compound, Lower Parel.
Entry: Rs 350 or Rs 1,000 (full cover post 10 pm)
Call: 61586158

Barack Obama, who spent the best part of last year fighting a gruelling battle for another term in the White House, had a bigger fight on his hands hours after being sworn into office on Monday - taking on singer Usher in a 'Gangnam Style' dance off.
The President and his wife Michelle threw a spectacular after-party at the White House after attending two glitzy events celebrating his inauguration.
Hundreds of high-profile guests attended the exclusive bash which finally came to a close at 3 am, the Daily Mail reported.
Celebrities shared photographs of the First Lady, still wearing her glamorous red Jason Wu gown, dancing to Beyonce's hit 'Single Ladies', while her husband hugged and chatted with guests, his tie undone after a busy day.
According to India Benet, the teenage daughter of singer Eric Benet, late into the night, the current US President relaxed even more.
"Getting down on the dancefloor with the COOLEST crowd of people ever!!!" the Daily Mail quoted her writing alongside a picture showing her grinning at the camera in the White House.
"After this, the President and Usher had a dance off to Gangnam style!!" she wrote.
Obama had previously revealed that he performs the dance around his home to tease his daughters, who hate the dance. His wife added that the moves were "a little embarrassing".
But his guests didn't seem to mind, and the celebrities took to Twitter to enthuse about the party and share photographs of the night.
"I don't even know what to say. It's 3:15am and I just teared up seeing our president getting down at the white house," model Chrissy Teigen tweeted.
Kelly Clarkson, who had performed at Obama's swearing-in ceremony that morning, tweeted just before midnight "Just partied at the White House. I kid you not, Michelle Obama stood up and got the party started...seriously cool First Lady."
"Just left the White House," Katy Perry wrote at 3 a.m.
"All other parties from here on our will be judged unless they take place at the White House," she wrote.
Ashley Judd, who hitched a ride with an off-duty Secret Service agent to get to the White House, described called the celebration as "an amazingly joyful house party. We had such a magical night."
Other guests included Alicia Keys and her husband music producer Swizz Beatz. Miss Benet tweeted that Bill Clinton also attended the event.
The Chicago Sun Times added that Sasha and Malia Obama joined their parents on the dancefloor at one point, and that when 'Soul Train' played, Obama led the dancing line.
The Obamas also threw an after-party after the President's first inauguration in 2009 - although it was a much quieter affair. After the Obamas left their final party at 12.45 a.m., Oprah Winfrey was among the select guests invited back to the White House to sip on champagne.
This year around 2,000 guests enjoyed an open bar, sliders and Chicago dogs at the invite-only event, which was part-hosted by actress Eva Longoria.
Will.I.Am and actresses Sophia Bush and Malin Ackerman were reportedly seen dancing beside White House staffers at the 'Midnight Underground, a Chicago-style after-hours' party, which finally finished around 3 a.m.
By contrast, President and Mrs Obama looked fresh-faced as they attended the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Service at the National Cathedral with the Bidens, just hours after the party finished. Around 2,200 people streamed into the cathedral for the service. (ANI)

Seamlessly fusing top-level technology with familiar acoustic tradition, the FR-8x V-Accordion ushers in a new era of creative freedom for players everywhere.
True Acoustic Response with Dynamic Bellows Behavior
Newly developed for the FR-8x, Dynamics Bellows Behavior technology represents a real breakthrough for digital accordionists. In an acoustic accordion, sounds are produced by reeds that vibrate with airflow generated by the movement of the bellows; the resistance of the bellows constantly varies, depending on how many reeds are selected and how many notes are played at once. In the FR-8x, Dynamic Bellows Behavior automatically adjusts the air transfer in the bellows in real time based on the selected register and the number of notes played, accurately replicating the familiar and comfortable bellows feel of an acoustic accordion. Dynamic Bellows Behavior can be easily disabled for players that prefer the bellows feel of previous V-Accordions.
Redesigned Interface with Color Display and Intuitive Panel Layout
The FR-8x features a completely redesigned user interface that's more powerful and easier to use than ever before. A large, recessed color display makes it simple to see and edit various parameters, while the revamped panel layout provides fast, intuitive operation via many dedicated buttons and knobs. Three all-new programmable chin switches let you control a variety of functions such as changing registers, selecting user programs, and more, all without lifting your hands off the keyboards. Additionally, 1400 user program memories provide ample storage for custom settings, with quick fingertip recall in every performing situation.
All-in-One Operation and Onboard Battery Charging
The FR-8x is a totally self-contained instrument, complete with a rechargeable onboard battery and built-in stereo amplification system. Battery charging is accomplished simply by connecting the included AC adapter directly to the FR-8x, and you can play without interruption during the charging process. In addition, all device connections are now located right on the instrument, including MIDI, USB, and audio jacks for connecting to an external amplification or recording system.
Expanded Collection of World-Class Sounds
In addition to a full selection of authentic accordion sounds from around the world, the FR-8x is equipped with over 180 orchestra and percussion sounds, giving you the power to expand your music into unexplored territory. Included are traditional instruments such as strings and brass, plus electric and acoustic guitars, choir, church organ, harp, ethnic sounds, synthesizers, and a wide range of drum kits. With the Virtual Tone Wheel sound engine, you can play amazing organ sounds using Treble (upper), Chord (lower) and Bass (pedal) sections, with harmonic bar controls to personalize your organ sounds for any musical style. Four internal memory areas (8 MB each) are provided for loading new sounds from the Roland sound library.
With the FR-8x, more layering and zone setup options are possible in the right-hand keyboard modes than ever before. Whole, Zone, High, and Low modes are provided, giving you the ability to play up to four different tones at once. Left-hand keyboard modes now include layering options as well. The programmable Drum function takes accordion performance to a fun new dimension, letting you play percussion sounds manually with the Bass & Chord buttons.
Powerful Multi-Effects and Onboard Looper
Explore all-new sonic textures with the FR-8x's four independent multi-effects engines (MFX), which provide dedicated processing for the Accordion, Orchestra 1, Orchestra 2, and Orchestra Chord sections. Each engine has 84 different effects types, offering a wide range of enhancement from subtle to dramatic. With the onboard looper, you can instantly record and overdub accordion performances using the FR-8x's enormous selection of sounds, creating impressive, on-the-spot backing accompaniment for improvisation.
USB Song Playback, Recording, and More
The handy MP3/WAV song player lets you play along with pre-recorded musical tracks for practice and live backing via optional USB memory. Just plug your USB stick into the convenient front-panel plug, then select and play songs with dedicated, easy-to-reach controls. And with the touch of a button, your accordion performances can be recorded directly to USB memory as well, perfect for archiving, evaluation, and education. Via the USB host port on the side panel, you can connect the FR-8x to your computer for data storage, customization of V-Accordion sound sets, and easy-to-install software updates.
