Latest news » Gruff Rhys remix of 9Bach premiering now on Line of Best Fit
Following the acclaim their outstanding album Tincian received upon its release earlier this year, on 17 November, 9Bach will release a digital only EP of remixes.
The Tinc EP features remixes of four of the albums tracks. The first mix on the EP is by Gruff Rhys who has re-worked 'Asteri Mou' turning it into a haunting and hypnotic song cycle, building toward a pounding climatic finish. It's Gruff's first remix undertaken in his own right.
The remix is premiering now on Line of Best Fit
Gruff says of his remix:
"I love this song by 9 Bach - I worked with engineer Simon Jones in trying to exaggerate the natural rounds of the vocal parts - The plan was to create an R&B mantra that would build into a droning racket - that would transport us into another dimension, or at least out of Cardiff."
The other remixes on the EP are by: Gravenhurst, who has turned 'Lliwiau' into a "narcotised fug of heart-palpitation bass and wraith-like vocals" (The Quietus); Carcharorion, who have warped 9Bach's interpretation of traditional folk song 'Pa Le?', making it now sound as if celestial robots have joined Lisa Jen's extraordinary vocals and Sir Doufus Styles (Cate Le Bon, Super Furry Animals, The Flaming Lips) whose mix of 'Wedi Torri' is a subtle reworking, emphasizing the beauty of the original.
These four incredible, leftfield re-imaginings of 9Bach's unique sound are complimented by a re-recording of the band's exceptional track Bwythn Fy Nain, which originally appeared on their debut album. The re-recording is from a live session the band recorded earlier this year at Real World Studios.
TInc EP tracklist:
01 Asteri Mou - Loops & Drones remix, Gruff Rhys
02 Pa Le? - Carcharorion Remix
03 Wedi Torri - Sir Doufus Styles Mix
04 Lliwiau - Gravenhurst Remix
05 Bwthyn Fy Nain - Real World Session Version
Pre-order the Tinc EP now:
To celebrate their most successful year to date in November and December 9Bach will undertake a mini UK tour:

Plan the town, if you like; but in doing it do not forget that you have got to spread the people. Make wider roads, but do not narrow the tenements behind. Dignify the city by all means, but not at the expense of the health of the home and the family life and the comfort of the average workman and citizen.
– Thomas Adams
A good conscience is to the soul what health is to the body; it preserves constant ease and serenity within us; and more than countervails all the calamities and afflictions which can befall us from without.

– Joseph Addison
A tremendous amount of needless pain and suffering can be eliminated by ensuring that health insurance is universally available.

A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings.
– James Allen
In the life of the body a man is sometimes sick, and unless he takes medicine, he will die. Even so in the spiritual life a man is sick on account of sin. For that reason he needs medicine so that he may be restored to health; and this grace is bestowed in the Sacrament of Penance.
– Saint Thomas Aquinas
O sweet September, they first breezes bring the dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's laughter, the cool fresh air whence health and vigor spring and promise of exceeding joy hereafter.

– W. H. Auden
A considerable breakdown in my health has scared me from the anxieties, responsibilities and excitement of my profession; whether temporarily or permanently cannot yet be determined but, whatever may be the issue, be assured that nothing was better calculated to soothe me than the kind interest manifested by the pupils of Guy's Hospital during the many trying years devoted to that institution.
– Thomas Addison
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, and the fourth for madness.

I'm working on a canvas and need to transform
my mouse cursor to a table containing some

I can catch the "mouse over" and "mouse out"

The final effect I need is something like the little

Any ideas on how could I do that with Swing?

Mason in the News
Posted: June 6, 2008 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Following are highlights of national news coverage Mason recently received.
Monday, June 2, Philadelphia Enquirer
Push for Fewer Elections in N.J.
"When residents of Delran go to the polls tomorrow for New Jersey's primary election, it will be their fifth vote of the year. Like many other New Jersey residents, they voted in the presidential primary on Feb. 5. And the fire district elections on Feb. 16. And the school elections on April 15. And the municipal elections on May 13. And the big one, the Nov. 4 general election, is still five months away. All that democracy may be too much of a good thing. Having fewer elections increases participation, but the longer ballots may daunt voters, election experts say. Studies of election behavior have produced 'some evidence that countries with frequent elections have lower turnouts,' said Michael P. McDonald, an election expert and associate professor of government and politics at George Mason University. The best example is Switzerland, with frequent elections for local offices and chronically low voter turnout, he said. Narrowly focused elections, such as those for school or fire officials, tend to draw only voters who care a lot about those offices, McDonald said."
Monday, June 2, Washington Post
Outdated Radios Fail Capitol Police
"The U.S. Capitol Police guard one of the nation's biggest terrorist targets. But their radios conk out in 'dead spots' around congressional buildings and have limited connections to local police in the Washington area, officials say. Channels on the Reagan-era police radio system often crash. Some experts are calling for building a national emergency communications system from scratch, instead of having agencies create new systems and then try to link them. It would be the first-responder equivalent of the kind of national network set up by cell phone companies. Jerry Brito, a fellow with the Regulatory Studies Program at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, said only a national system can provide the efficiency and seamless communication emergency responders need. 'You have about 50,000 public-safety agencies in the country, everyone from the local sheriff in Mississippi to the FBI,' he said. 'Even if each agency wanted to get together and coordinate, it's impossible.'"

Giant 'Tornadoes' Seen Erupting from the Sun
"The sun produces giant tornado-like jets that stretch thousands of miles into space, new satellite data shows. The solar tornadoes typically last about 10 minutes and occur near the sun's poles. 'These solar tornadoes are almost a thousand times faster than a terrestrial tornado and are very big,' said Spiros Patsourakos, a researcher at George Mason University. 'The main element [of the new observations] is that the erupting structures possess twist,' said Patsourakos, who described his findings last week at an American Geophysical Union meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla."
Tuesday, June 3, USA Today
63 Percent Say Gay Marriage Is a Choice
"As same-sex couples start lining up to get marriage licenses in California on June 17, the USA Today/Gallup Poll found 63 percent of adults say same-sex marriage is 'strictly a private decision' between two people. That the government has the right 'to prohibit or allow' such marriages was stated by 33 percent, and 4 percent had no opinion. On Monday, the California secretary of state said an initiative to amend the state constitution to define marriage as a union 'between a man and a woman' will be on the Nov. 4 ballot. If it passes, it would overturn a May state Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. After Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage in 2004, 11 states voted on similar questions. 'Those initiatives did have an impact in election results,' says Mark Rozell, professor of public policy at George Mason University, Fairfax, Va. 'Turnout was 2.4 percent higher on average in those 11 states than the other 39 states.'"
Wednesday, June 4, CBS News
CBS Poll: Ready for a Black President?
"As Barack Obama claims the mantle of presumptive Democratic nominee, nearly 70 percent of Americans say the country is ready for a black president, a new CBS News poll shows. Sixty-eight percent of Americans say the country is ready — up six points from March and 14 points from January. Eight years ago, only 38 percent of those polled said the country was ready for a black president. Michael Fauntroy, a professor at George Mason University, also said he believes the country is ready on 'The Early Show' — though he sounded a note of caution. 'To my way of thinking, it's still an open question, though certainly we're moving in the right direction,' he said."
Wednesday, June 4, USA Today
The Unfriendly Skies
"Longer waits. Anybody who flew last year knew that delays were bad. But the official government statistics — showing that one of every four flights was late by at least 15 minutes, the second-worst performance in 13 years — didn't do justice to how bad. Now, George Mason University researchers, who've massaged data squirreled away in government databases, report that the average trip delay was nearly two hours — 24 minutes longer than in 2006. Feeling the pain yet? Try this. Passengers whose flights were cancelled were delayed an average 11 hours — one hour more than in 2006. In part, that's because there were more cancellations. The bigger villain, though, was that planes were so packed — a historically high 80 percent full — that once a flight was cancelled, fliers were hard-pressed to find an alternative. George Mason professor George Donohue, one of the report's authors, says flight cancellations can save airlines money. By law, airlines must pay ticketed passengers who are 'bumped.' But there is no such problem for a cancelled flight: Airlines can put those customers on another flight, filling up seats that might fly empty. With sky-high fuel prices, that's a money-saver for the airline industry."

Universities Join to Reinvigorate Local Tech Scene
"Five D.C., Maryland and Virginia universities yesterday announced a partnership aimed at helping the Washington area turn the research and innovations of its scientists and scholars into patents, products and businesses. Calling the partnership the Chesapeake Crescent Innovation Alliance, the universities hope to reinvigorate the region's technology sector by sharing information on their research with one another and with businesses and investors. That is one reason the group is starting out with a small group of members, though it eventually hopes to expand to include institutions such as the University of Virginia. 'One of the quickest ways to kill it is to expand to 16 universities,' said Alan Merten, president of George Mason University. 'Then the incentive for us to work together is not going to happen. Consortiums sink when there are too many people in the boat.'"
Wednesday, June 4, Washington Post
Two Words with a Ring of Possibility
"Black president. Two words profound and yet contradictory. Once thought of as an oxymoron, impossible to be placed together in the same sentence, context, country — unless followed by a question mark. 'Black president. Is there still racism in this society? Of course there is. But it is not nearly the level of racism that would make the idea of the words "black president" sound ridiculous,' says Roger Wilkins, professor emeritus at George Mason University. 'Black president. . . . It is not as if one morning I woke up and turned on the radio and I heard someone say "black president" I would drop my teeth. This has been gradual. When I hear it, I think as someone who has taught history for the last 25 years; I think our country has come a long way.' Wilkins adds: 'There is a very deep joy and pride when I listen to the words "black" and "president" applied to a walking, breathing person who carries African genes in his body and soul.'"

This magnificent book is a complete study of India's automotive elite – the maharajas who so many exotic and exclusive cars from British, European and American car makers, mainly before independence in 1947. The coverage, contains over 500 images which were shots over 3 years of span.
My task was travel and shoot all the prestigious cars owned by the maharajas in outdoors and a studio environment all over India.
This book was published in 2010 in French edition first by Haynes Publishing consisting of 383 pages and later was published in English and German. There were about 3000 copies printed in French and 3500 copies printed in English.
This coffee table book was commissioned by Mercedes-Benz India in 2010. It covers the history of Mercedes-Benz in India much before it had a plant setup in Pune, India.
This coffee table book was commissioned by Apollo tyres in 2010. It documents the history of car design, how it has changed over the decades and the star designers who have played a significant role in influencing the world of design. I had the opportunity to contribute some of the photos in my stock library.
This booklet was commissioned by Hyundai India 2015. It was a fun project where Hyundai gave us then newly launched Hyundai Creta to explore the Hindustan-Tibet road high in trans-Himalayas and the Great Rann of Kutch. And the highlight was arranging a photoshoot - with special permissions - at the India-Pakistan border. For me, this was one of the most memorable commissioned assignments.
This coffee table book was commissioned by Maruti Suzuki India in 2015. The brief was to show life on the Golden Quadrilateral, India's first modern highway network. I aimed to highlight the life the highway gives, and how the connection between Delhi-Kolkata-Chennai-Mumbai-Delhi makes these cities stronger and attracts life and sub-economies throughout the 5,846km.
I covered this whole route during the one-month commission, capturing the essence of India and its reliance on the highway for both road travel and local economy.

Planetary overprotection: Have we made ourselves Mars' helicopter parents?
"hospitable to tagalong life from Earth" is relative right? From what I know of Mars, nothing from Earth will survive there as anything other than a dormant spore, no matter where you are on the planet.
I certainly wouldn't be booking tickets with plucky optimism about living on the land; but I'd probably bet a few hundred bucks on some earthly extremophiles being just ducky either under such polar ice as their is(dormant much; but not all, of the time), and possibly subsurface in some of the lower-elevation parts of the planet, where there is still something vaguely resembling an atmosphere.
Perhaps more importantly: If earthly life, of any flavor, can survive (in a metabolically active way) on Mars, odds are good (I'd put considerably more money on this one) that the overlap between 'places earth life can live' and 'places remnants of mars life are holding out' is significant.
That's the real downer. It doesn't matter if 99% of the planet is too brutal to do anything but kill spores slowly, if the 1% that might contain something of vast scientific interest is the same 1% that earthly life would be happy to have a go at...
The lack of liquid water is a real buzzkill for Earth based life. The Atacama Desert on Earth has similar conditions in places, and is notably devoid of even bacterial life in the soil.
That's why I'm perfectly unconcerned about writing off 95+% of the planetary surface as biologically viable. Too dry, too cold, atmosphere so thin that the vapor pressure of just about anything biological is remarkably high by comparison. It's just that if there are any exceptions, those exceptions are probably where the martian life would be making its last stand as well (unless it's something radically different from life as we know it). That's the contamination that I'd be concerned about avoiding.
Martian. When did academic English stop distinguishing adjectives from nouns? Why?
uGH, let aplanet be, woodyah?

(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
Ben and Sally Trupp, their two daughters, and their fourteen-year-old son, Murray, are visiting Ben's parents in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. A highlight of the annual trek from the Trupps' home in Boston is the opportunity for Murray to shoot his father's old Remington .22, a gun given to Ben when he was about Murray's age. As the father and son go out to a field to shoot the rifle, Ben remembers his son's last birthday, when he tapped Murray's head to quiet him and the boy, holding the cake knife, threatened to kill him if he were hit again. Sally agreed that Murray was too old to be hit, but Ben, watching his son carrying the rifle, thinks he looks very young.
In the field, the gun does not fire, and Murray curses and throws a tantrum. Ben, unable to help, remembers how his father, also named Murray, taught him to shoot this same gun. The two return to the house, where old Murray, to calm his grandson, promises action and calls Dutch, a local gunsmith. That evening, Ben, his father, and young Murray drive to the gun shop—actually the crowded cellar of Dutch's home.
Ben realizes that neither he nor his son has ever been in such a place, that it is only his father who would have stumbled on it. He reflects on his own cautious and prescribed life as against his father's disorderly but somehow more real one. Old Murray introduces his grandson to Dutch as a perfectionist, a boy with drive, and then extols Dutch's talents to the others. Ben...

Belmont men survive ultralight crash in Bass Strait
A young ultralight pilot from Lake Macquarie has described how he and his mate survived when the aircraft's engine failed and it crashed into the freezing waters of Tasmania's Bass Strait.

Pilot Shayd Hector from Tingira Heights and passenger Joel Nelson from Belmont, both 23, had to cling to an inflatable air mattress before they were pulled to safety by water police.
They had been flying from Bridport in Tasmania on Monday afternoon to spend the night on Flinders Island before flying home to Newcastle, and police described their survival as "miraculous".
Shayd told his story of survival to Jill Emberson from 1233 ABC Newcastle Mornings. (listen to attached audio)
"We had perfect weather conditions and we planned the flight really well over the last month or so, and we just experienced engine difficulties about 20 nautical miles north of Bridport," Shayd explains.
"We knew that we wasn't going to make it so we just tried our best to put the plane down in the water as best I could.
"It was pretty full-on, I guess, I just tried to concentrate on doing all the right things and not to freak out too much.
"When it did hit, the plane pretty much sort of exploded and flipped on its roof.
"We had the doors open and the seatbelts off as we hit.
"Once we hit we hit we were sort of upside down in the water in the plane still, then we pretty much swam our way out."
Before the crash the men set off their emergency beacon and contacted Air Services Australia, who alerted the Australian Maritime Safety Authority Rescue Co-Ordination Centre.
A number of planes and helicopters flew to the area near Waterhouse Island, where they spotted the men floating in choppy seas, clinging to an inflatable mattress.
Shayd and Joel, who were both wearing lifejackets, were winched into a rescue helicopter and were in hospital in Launceston within three hours of the crash.
Aside from hypothermia and some minor scrapes the pair were uninjured, but police say they were extremely lucky to survive the water temperatures of only around 13 degrees.
Shayd says he's currently "a bit spun out" and depressed at losing the ultralight, which he bought a couple of years ago.
He was uninsured and estimates the total loss for the aircraft and the belongings it contained at around $40,000.
The young pilot says he's very thankful to their rescuers, and will now focus on his work as a chef to pay off the ultralight that's now under the waters of Bass Strait.
However his flying days aren't over and he's keen to buy a "bigger, faster and more reliable" plane.

I'd go for the first version, with the temporary variable, for the exact reason you mention: the second version has an extra call to the subroutine. The extra memory overhead shouldn't be much of a problem. I don't think you're dealing with gigabites of data here at once.
Another reason the first version is preferable because the call to the subroutine in the if clause may have side effects that will affect the value that will be pushed onto the array. The following script demonstrates what I mean.
Update: there was a stupid little error in the script. Fixed.

There are times when I could kick myself for not having cash handy. I'm one of those "converted to debit card" types, and write one single check per month – of course, now that our rent has gone the e-bill route, I'll likely be writing zero checks in the future. Still, the one thing consistently missing in my e-Life (or i-Life, if you're a mac fan) is cold, hard cash. I never have it. Ever. I mean – I have it… the e-version. But when my cashless arse is walking around the second floor of the mall and the Girl Scouts are nearby, screeching about Tagalongs and Thin Mints, I want to catapult myself through the glass windows and onto the pavement below. I know, I know – there are ATM machines. Perhaps it's the country in me that refuses to pay $22 for $20, so I avoid the fees, avoid the cash, avoid the cookies.
I really wouldn't mind plopping a couple bucks into the local high school wrestling team's fundraising bucket, or forking over a few dollars for some homemade oatmeal cookies at a baton twirling club's bakesale. It's not just times when the dough I never carry can benefit a cause, however. It's other times, times that involve people, on the spot, in a particular situation that I've found myself in somehow, when I really wish I carried cash.
There's this thing about me, and it's called drama queen. I'm an avid people watcher as well – so when combining the two, I make up detailed stories about others I don't know. I wonder about their life at home, their past, that sort of thing. I'm a curious person who could hold a conversation with just about any stranger (as long as I wasn't in immediate danger, of course.) I like to chat, bulls***, learn. I like to think. I like to analyze. And apparently, I like to ramble in this blog post.
I have a soft spot in my heart for animals, and for those who selflessly volunteer their time to help our four legged creatures. I especially appreciate those who will take in an extra cat or dog just to get it off the street, even though they already have well-fed pets of their own. I often find myself wishing I could do more in terms of helping in this department, and If circumstances were different, I would happily adopt several brothers and sisters for Diego. When I meet a fellow cat person, my heart pitter patters. I meow a little inside. I become extra friendly. A week ago, I ventured into our favorite Supercenter establishment in East Greenbush and darted straight to the pet section, hoping to find Diego's favorite "Chicka Chicka Boom-Boom" flavored kitty treats by Crave (they are heart-shaped, too. awwwh.) An elderly woman, quite plain looking and too short to reach the top shelf, struggled to grab a box of canned catfood that she seemed to be buying in bulk. I'm talking big bulk – a month's supply, at least. I grabbed my feline's favorite treats, chucked 'em in my cart, then offered to help her. As I stood on my tiptoes to reach the off-brand cat food, she thanked me and asked how many cats I had. I replied that I had one 30 pound orange tabby boy, 5 years old, the biggest baby ever. She cracked a smile and said that she wished she only had one cat sometimes, but enjoyed their company so much – she had two indoor kitties that have been her pets for years, and was feeding three outdoor strays at the moment. "I'll keep feeding them if they keep coming", she continued. "I'm starting to warm up to them, though – I'm taking them to the vet next week." A trip to the vet is expensive at any rate, whether you have one cat, one dog, a check up is in order, whatever. "You're a good lady", I said to her. "Well, I try… those cats, that's where all my money goes – but it's ok, I wouldn't have it any other way."
I gulped down a huge lump in my throat, because I knew she was telling the truth. She seemed lonely, so happy to be chatting with someone about something she loved dearly, spending her Sunday morning stocking up so her pets wouldn't go hungry for a while. I noted the single carton of Orange Juice and loaf of bread in her cart. There was no doubt in my mind that she most certainly spends most of her money on her cats, and as I said a few parting words and walked away from the pet food aisle, I wished a thousand times, up and down, that I would've had cash on hand. What would I have done with it? Something I watched my dad do for others who may have been in need plenty of times as I was growing up. Just hand it to her. Say, "here, this is for your cats – from my cat", or something equally dorky yet nice. Roll it up in her hand tightly, tell her to buy them a special toy, and walk away. There's no sense in sugar coating this – she was poor. She was happy, though, and she loves her animals. And that, to me, is a damn good person – one of the best I've ever met.
I now have a few $5 bills in my wallet, ready for the next time.

Pros: Interior reservoir lets you serve coffee by the cup, Timer, Easy cleanup
Cons: Brewing temperature isn't high enough
There's another new coffee maker in the house and it's turned out that while I like the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 6-Cup Coffee Maker, I can't say that it's perfect. After several weeks of pretty regular use, I've found some things I really like about it and other things I wish I could change, but overall I think it's a pretty good machine and for now, I'm satisfied with it.
Me and coffee makers...
Some would say I go through coffee makers as often as I go through shoes. There's been quite the collection of the years in our house in my quest to find a coffee maker that's convenient and makes a good cup of coffee, especially for smaller batches. That smaller batch thing is important to me since there are only two of us and even if we're in a coffee drinking mood, we tend to maybe go through four of five cups of coffee in a single sitting.
So even though I was mostly happy with my last small batch coffee maker, I really wanted something that gave me some more coffee (it was only a 4-cup coffee maker). That's how I came across the 6-Cup BrewStation in Walmart.
There isn't anything too fancy about this coffee maker. It has all the basics including a clock, a programmable timer, a water reservoir, and a filter holder. The difference comes about when you brew the coffee. Instead of going into a coffee pot, the coffee is kept in an interior reservoir that has its own heater. So the coffee is brewed hot and then is kept hot in the machine by the heater. From there, it's like being at a restaurant at a soda station, when you want coffee you put your cup in the machine and push it up against the pour button and the coffee exits the interior reservoir into your cup.
The brewing process is pretty traditional though I'm not terribly keen on the small arm that swings in and out where the hot water drips into the coffee grounds. It seems like it would be awfully easy to snag or break, though after some pretty regular use, it hasn't so maybe my fears are unfounded.
It takes about five minutes to brew the full 6-cups of coffee with this machine.
Coffee isn't brewed at the hottest temperature I've seen in coffee makers. I've found that I end up leaving it in the reservoir for a few minutes after it's brewed, which actually heats the coffee hotter than when it was brewed.
Clean up is easy. The filter holder lifts out and you can dump out the used filter and grounds. The reservoir also pops right out and you can rinse out any leftover coffee from it. The only place where grounds tend to get stuck is on the bottom of the top cover, which is easily cleaned with a quick wipe from a sponge or a damp paper towel.
There's a clock on the BrewStation that lets you set the time and then lets you program an automatic brewing. I don't use it too often, but it does work.
I really like the idea of a coffee maker without the coffee pot. I mean, I know it's the same idea, but I do think the coffee is kept hotter in the interior reservoir. Not only that, but since I'm someone that will have a cup of coffee here and there, I like the option of just serving myself a cup of coffee whenever I feel like it, instead of wondering if what's in the pot is still warm.
I have to admit to being disappointed about the temperature of the coffee brewing. I've found that the hotter coffee is brewed, in general, the better it tastes. The BrewStation doesn't make awful coffee, but it's definitely not the hottest coffee I've had right out of brewing. The internal heater on the reservoir does help make it hotter, but I would imagine that the coffee would have a more robust flavor with a hotter brewer temperature.
That said, it's not awful coffee. I'd say it's on par with most basic coffee makers that I've had coffee from.
Cleaning the machine and keeping it clean has been easy. There really aren't too many parts to get dirty. The coffee filter holder makes it easy to dump out the old filters without getting grounds all over the place and besides a quick rinse, the interior reservoir doesn't need any special cleaning. The only thing I have to stay on top of is the bottom side of the covers, since really fine grounds accumulate on it as the coffee is brewed. I just wipe it down each time.
I've had the BrewStation for several months without any real change in its workings. It seems to be fairly sturdy and I'd expect that it'll last for a while, since it's been working perfectly since I got it.
Final Thoughts
I like the fact that I can have a couple cups of coffee throughout the morning that all taste good and are hot with the BrewStation. I also like that it's easy to clean and that there's the programmable timer so I can have the coffee maker brewing when I'm waking up.
I don't like that it brews the coffee at a pretty low temperature. It doesn't make horrible coffee, but I know it would taste better if the brewing temperature was hotter.
Overall, I like the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 6-Cup Coffee Maker. I think there is some room for improvement, but the coffee tastes pretty good, cleanup is easy and having the coffee stay warm in the interior reservoir so you can serve it cup by cup is a great idea that I like.

More Resident Evil games are coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Resident Evil: Revival Selection is in this week's issue of Famitsu.
Scans have not been leaked, but word is Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica are in the selection. It's unclear if both games are separate releases or in one package. We'll update this post when we have more information regarding new content, if any, and release timing.
Update: These are remastered versions of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. So far, no additional content has been announced.
Update 2: Ada's "Separate Ways" scenario from the PlayStation 2 version of Resident Evil 4 is included in the package. The version of Resident Evil: Code Veronica is Code Veronica X, which has extra cutscenes not included in the Dreamcast release.
Wow, I may be interested, this could finally be my entry into the Resident Evil series as I graduate from being a lover of the movies (I love the RE movies, oh and Degeneration too, LEON!!!
I cant wait for the UPDATE!
You never played any of the games before watching the movies?
I would say, "that's probably why he can enjoy the movies," but then I remember this is Tsuna we're talking about and he'd probably prefer the movies even if he did play the games first.
People who like the games dont like the movies or something?
well the movies, despite being branded but the same title, have barely anything to do with the movies, they are just cash ins, like most movie-games. that, and they are just terrible movies in my opinion :P
The movies pretty much crap on the continuity of the games and get so many things wrong, it's not even funny. The first one is fairly respectful of the games, but from the second movie on, it just goes off the rails.
Really? I always thought they followed after each of the numbered entries in the games. So Raccooon City wasnt destroyed by a big bomb, and the characters didnt leave the city and meet up, or encounter Wesker and Umbrella Corp didnt survive the worldwide infestation?!
@Tsuna – In the games, Wesker BETRAYS Umbrella in the first game. Umbrella is gone and destroyed by the time of RE4 and Wesker works for one of their rivals. The world is never destroyed. Only Raccoon City and a couple small villages around the world. Oswell Spencer is the man in charge of Umbrella. Wesker was just a researcher and double agent for them, who rises to power against them, but still as a villain.
After the government had to nuke Raccoon City to prevent the spread of the T and G viruses, they shut down Umbrella, as well. Hell, you've seen Degeneration. That's after RE4, but before RE5. The world seemed pretty okay, but the T and G viruses are now in the hands of terrorists.
Oh, and Alice is not in any of the games, at all.
And in the games, hitting the Nemesis with a helicopter would've just gotten it angry.
@Charles Lupula wow that all sounds like a fan fiction story. So the only one that was really canon was degeneration? The movies sound like they are so much more epic than the true storyline. Though it sounds interesting (Cause Wesker was cool int he movie, I assume he is epic in the games too (and my fave in MvC3)).
The only canon movie is Degeneration. That's correct.
The third Resident Evil movie is pretty much just completely made up, having very little to do with the games at all. The second movie is a mash-up of Resident Evil 2 & 3. The fourth movie is just continuing the story they made in the third movie, but throwing in a lot of Resident Evil 5 elements.
The games actually have a very cool mythology to them, with quite a few characters. Code Veronica, for example, takes place on a secret prison island/base run by Umbrella, where Claire Redfield is taken, and where twin villains, Albert and Alexia Ashford have been running experiments on the prisoners. But then the Island is attacked (it is revealed to be by Wesker, who was thought to be dead at that point, as he is apparently killed in RE1, but shows up here with the powers that he's known for. In RE1, he was thought to be just a regular person) and Claire gets out of her cell, but has to find a way off the island. Steve is a fellow prisoner whose father worked for Umbrella who tried to sell secrets to a rival company. The story gets A LOT bigger from there.
No, the world doesn't get destroyed, but for the individual characters, a lot is at state.
In RE4, Leon Kennedy, who was one of the survivors of Raccoon City in RE2, is now working for the Secret Service. Umbrella is long gone, but Oswell Spencer is still unaccounted for and Wesker has grown in power over the years. The president's daughter has been kidnapped in Spain and it's up to Leon to go and find her. He runs into something, but it ISN'T the T-virus or Umbrella. It's something potentially worse and just as life threatening.
@Charles Lupula Gosh you now make me really want to play the games to experience the story! Ill just start with 4 I guess since Leon seems cool and the description doesnt seem like it is that reliant on many past details from the first 3? Unless 1,2,3 are available in some uptouched form?
1, 2, & 3 are all on the Playstation Store in the PS1 classics section. They have awful graphics and even worse controls compared to what we have today, but they do all have voice acting and I know you like that. lol
Code Veronica is still related to the first 3 and then 4 is somewhat separate, but it still ties in. Only three previous RE characters show up in it. RE5 kinda ties them all together, as it's the threat from RE4 but with a lot of the previous RE characters.
Don't forget there was that George A. Romero directed Biohazard 2 commercial that initially sparked the whole interest in making said movies… :P
"In 1999, Sony and Capcom greenlit a Resident Evil film with George A. Romero signed on as the film's director and screenplay writer.
Romero's association with Capcom, the Resident Evil video game series creators, had extended from 1998 when Romero directed an ad campaign for Biohazard 2 (Resident Evil 2) in Japan.
Romero stated in an official appearance in Universal Studio's Talk City chatroom that he had his secretary play the entire game through and record the gameplay so he could study it as a resource.
Romero's screenplay revolved around the plot of the Arklay incident and included characters from the Resident Evil video games.
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine were the lead characters, involved in a romantic relationship. Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers, Ada Wong and Albert Wesker were to also appear. The ending to the film would have been similar to that of the Resident Evil video game.
Romero's script was disapproved of and production was placed into development hell.
Capcom producer Yoshiki Okamoto explained to the editors of Electronic Gaming Monthly that "Romero's script wasn't good, so Romero was fired".
In February 2000, Romero revealed in an interview with DGA magazine that "I don't think they were into the spirit of the video game and wanted to make it more of a war movie, something heavier than I thought it should be. So I think they just never liked my script."
As Romero's script was a close, but not full, adaptation of the game, Capcom believed fans would feel that the film had been altered too much from the game and that newcomers would dislike the premise.
Hired by Sony, Paul W.S. Anderson wrote a screenplay, which was ultimately favored over Romero's.
In late 2000, Anderson was announced as director and writer, and Resident Evil re-entered pre-production stages. Anderson stated the film would not include any tie-ins with the video game series as "under-performing movie tie-ins are too common and Resident Evil, of all games, deserved a good celluloid representation"
" – Wiki
how ironic they ended up with the final result that was so different anyway huh? :P
Heh, I got so scared at Resident Evil 1 one back in the day that Ive just been still scared from that moment (not knowing how to shoot, zombies always biting me, oh and then those scary dogs in the mansion, it was just a terrible scary experience that haunts me), the nightmares…
I was scared to see the first movie, but it (it had a scary moment) but it was just so epic cause the character was just so epic possibly my favorite female actor not named Jennifer Lopez ^_^ (loved her in the back up plan), and the second third and fourth movies were so epic. I loved the movies, I guess thats been the extent of my RE experience (I wish I worked for Umbrella corp!)
I wish you tried Penumbra.
4 is not really a good RE, but it's one of the best action games EVER, so… I'd say it's a good choice!
Honestly, the RE series had started to get very stale before RE4 came out. Mikami himself even said it, when he scrapped some of the previous versions of RE4 for being too much like the earlier games.
The perfect spot for the series, in my opinion, is the Lost in Nightmares DLC for RE5, which had the scares of the old games, but the RE4-and-beyond controls.
Yeah, I suppose the RE formula would need to be revised at some point… But it seems like Mikami just scrapped it altogether! I saw footage of the "original" RE4, and I kinda liked the vibe. You got the advanced shooting mechanics coupled with a nice, creepy-looking atmosphere. Revelations seems to be going for that combination, so that's pretty cool. Then again, I really liked REsident and RE Zero, despite their old formula. But, truth be told, I would never play them again.
Now that I think about it, Mikami is not only a genius, but also a badass. He created one of the most successful videogame series in existence, and then proceeded to destroy its very foundations, only to create one of the best games ever (opinions, I know), and one that would greatly influence the industry. Just like that. Thank you for existing, Mikami-sama.
About the RE5 DLC… I never played it =S And that sucks, because all I hear about it is praise! Being able to play it using classic camera angles is a nice touch (even though it is a secret…kinda).
(In 4's defense, the Regenerators WERE creepy. But I think that's because they reminded me of little grays, and those freak me out (the first one you meet was being autopsied… Coincidence? *SHUDDER*))
The one problem with using the classic angles is that it then switches the game to tank controls, which wouldn't be so bad if the controls were on the d-pad, but they're on the analog stick, which is just awkward.
And I agree on it being one of the best games ever. It's actually my second favorite game of all time (behind Metal Gear Solid 3).
the reason why he scrapped it because the atmosphere feels too Silent Hill like which is psychological and such.
would love to see the beta used in future RE games to be honest.
There's a character in Code Veronica named Steve that I'd be very surprised if you didn't like.
Wait this dude? Heh! He seems epic, he better be the main character!!!!
Knew you'd like him.
He's not the main character. Claire is, but he does play an important part in the story.
He likes him because he has Justin Beiber hair
This news added with Duodecims release today, have made my day! I hope it's one package though. It better not be $60 either.
These are probably ports, but… 4 running on MT Framework would be… =O
Even if it's just a port, the game still looks great (apart from the textures), so, no biggie. Leon Badass Kennedy <3
I own both games, but I think I will buy them. Although why stop with RE4 and Code Veronica? We never got to play RE0 or the REmake? Put those in there too.
I do hope they either fix or, at least, make the tank controls in Code Veronica optional.
"Although why stop with RE4 and Code Veronica? We never got to play RE0 or the REmake? Put those in there too."
What? And skewer their chances of selling you another collection later on?
I'd actually buy that collection too. In fact, since I never played those, I'd actually prefer that collection.
And that's why they can to do it later. More precisely, after you have already paid them for this collection.
I'm just thinking from a linear storyline perspective, it would make more sense to release those first.
The controls will need a MASSIVE overhaul.
And hopefully RE4 will support Move.
They'd have to totally change the gameplay if they changed the controls, would be too easy otherwise so honestly hope they keep it unchanged aside from graphical upgrades
Anyways, super super hyped for this, was just getting a hankering for another RE4 playthrough so perfect timing, only thing better would be a complete collection but probably not until next gen for that
The didnt change the gameplay at all for the Wii version. I see no reason why they cant apply the Wii ports control mecahnics to Move.
Wii version is easier as a result, also feel that part of the tension comes from the challenge of slowing aiming at an enemy before it can reach you which the Wii version sacrifices for intuitiveness
The solution is just to do what they did for RE5 Gold and make Move controls (and tank controls for RE: CV) optional. That way, everybody wins.
Stephen, there is a difference in terms of the lag you get while playing shooter games on the Wii and Move.
The main difference between the Move and Wii is this: Move has better waggle (it's more refined), Wii has better pointing (no lag).
With RE4 there wasn't a lot of waggle as much as shooting at stuff. So the advantage here is for the Wiimote. Having no lag in terms of pointing at stuff and shooting at it.
So I don't think they can simply port the shooting mechanics and make no adjustments to compensate for the Move's noticeable lag with these type of games.
yes RE4 on Move please :D
No control changes. The tank controls in the Resident Evil series are perfect, and absolutely essential in order to maintain proper gameplay balance.
I hated the tank controls from the very beginning. I mean, I got used to them so if they're still there, I guess I could deal with Code Veronica still having them, but they really need to make them optional and have the option to just use the analog stick like every other game of the last decade.
The problem is that changing the controls would break the game. It's an intentional design decision, much like the limited jumping abilities of Arthur in Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, or Simon Belmont in the pre-symphony Castlevania games. Zombies are slow moving, and need to make physical contact with the player in order to cause damage. Forcing the player to gradually turn, and stop to aim their weapon, is a way of preventing the player from being effortlessly running circles around every monster in the game. It allows a swarm of zombies to gradually draw closer and forces the player to consider their action in advance, taking their movement options into careful consideration.
The tank controls are an integral part of the game's balance, and changing them to standard action game fixed analog movement would completely trivialize the games and render them pathetically easy, which is not something you want in a game about keeping the player tense and wary.
You do know that Silent Hill 2 gave the option for either analog or tank controls and it didn't break the game to be able to move, right? Wouldn't break it either. You'd still have to press a button to run. You still would have to stand still to shoot (They didn't even change that in Resident Evil 5).
The tank controls should be optional, at most. If you want to play with them, fine. But if there's an option to go analog, I'll take it in a second.
Silent Hill 2 is also much less combat-focused than Resident Evil games are. Monsters in SH2 are almost an afterthought, and not really intended to be very dangerous. The game stands mainly on it's riddles, locations, and interesting story to engage the player.
Resident Evil puts far more emphasis on monster encounters, the puzzles being scarcely anything beyond "find key; open door," and the story doesn't even try to be engaging.
Let's also not forget that Silent Hill 2 was designed with fixed analog controls in mind as an option in the first place. Resident Evil games were not. Resident Evil is completely structured around the tank controls. The controls work perfectly, and there isn't any compelling reason to change them.
@Feynman – The compelling reason is that they're pretty awful controls that will turn off a great deal of new fans to the series, who have gotten used to controlling characters that actually control like people. Not to mention, it will come bundled with a game that has controls new people to the series will actually like.
And I don't know what Silent Hill you were playing if you think the monsters weren't intended to be dangerous. Ever get hit with Pyramid Head's sword? On anything but the lowest combat difficulty, it's a one hit kill. Not to mention most of the Silent Hill monsters have to be tackled with melee attacks, instead of a gun, which makes them even more of a worry.
Let's just agree to disagree and hope for different things. I hope the controls or gone or optional, you hope they're still there. We'll know in a few weeks which of us gets our wish.
the wii version controls of RE4 are the best controls… no other contorl set, not event he move, will come close to the perfection that wii gave to RE4.
Yes, because the Move controls won't basically be the same thing. I swear, you people, sometimes…
Yes Charles, believe it or not, the Wiimote is better than the Move in some aspects.
The Move is better for motion controlled games. However, for shooting games, the Wii is better than the Move. This is because the Move has lag in shooters where the wiimote has zero lag. The cursor jumps around a bit with the Move, whereas the wiimote cursor is as steady as your hand.
The tech used for making the Move a pointer is inferior to the tech that makes the Wiimote a pointer.
So there you go.
Funny how I didn't encounter any of this lag when I played Dead Space Extraction. I actually happen to tend to hate motion controlled games, actually, so if that's all the Move was for, I'd be very disappointed. Time Crisis, Dead Space, even Killzone 3, I didn't experience any of this lag.
I agree with tank controls. It's way more precise. Though, I think most people don't like tank controls because it's really wonky while using an analogue stick. That's why I always use the digital pad while using tank controls.
Sometimes screen controls can be good, but they can get annoying when the camera angle changes. But this is the best use of the analogue stick in these sorts of games.
I really liked how Resident Evil: Outbreak gave you the two options simultaneously.
I never liked tank-style controls ever since Alone in the Dark (awesome game btw, aside from this small problem), but at least at the time they were excusable under "technical limitations". I guess RE1 was somewhat excusable too, since it took inspiration from it. Later on, however, that kind of controls just became ancient. Capcom had a good idea by moving to something a bit more modern for RE4.
PS. incidentally, at least "gameplay balance" could be a good reason for wanting these kind of controls. Most people I know who like survival horrors, always tell me stuff like "tank controls are better because your character is supposed to be a normal person, not a superhero!". Which doesn't make sense because:
1) normal people aren't supposed to run slowly or turn around only while staying still.
2) despite that, these normal people suddenly have no problem in using and quickly reloading weapons, even ones they'll have never seen in their life, like grenade launchers and stuff.
3) while that excuse could be somewhat usable for AITD, it definitely doesn't fit with the trained personnel of most of the RE series
Hah, never seen that "superhero" excuse. God that's laughable.
No RE 2 "Rebirth" Capcom… ? :(
I hope they re-release REmake for the HD consoles. Such an excellent game deserves to span beyond Wii and Gamecube, although maybe exclusivity deals prevent that from happening.
My wallet is now sounding a lot like Leon if Ashley gets killed or captured by the Ganados.
"Oh, NO…"
as much as i like this why not remake RE2 and RE3? or pick one and code veronica. RE4 has been done to death O_O
still im stoked for both games. i wonder what kind of improvement Code Veronica And RE4 will bring? :P
Leon and Ada on HD? count me in :D
what's the "Ada's Another Order mode"?
I guess reworking PSone games would be too much work. It would need more than just a quick up-rez with cleaner textures… a lot more.
On the PS2 version (I think it's on the Wii version as well), there's two modes with Ada. One of them is a canon mode where you see where she was in various points of the game. There's an extra section that Leon never goes to, but it's very short. It's still a nice bonus, though.
i think your referring to the exclusive mode from PS2(which was also featured in the Wii version) "Separate Ways". which featured Ada before Leon's Arrival and how they met throughout the course of the game. the other mode that has been feature from the very start is "Assignment Ada". that's only the 2 modes i know that features Ada as the main character(and yes their canon except for Assignment Ada)
unless "Ada's Another Order mode" is just another name for Separate Ways or Assignment Ada i guess that's that.
Another Order is the Japanese name for Seperate Ways
ohh i see, thanks for clearing that up ^^
Great. I was just about to start my RE4 run. Guess I can put it off until Revival pack comes over here.
Maybe if they fixed the blurriness. Then again, even Monster Hunter Tri looks as if it was made using a VERY similar engine to RE4…
Well, you also have to remember that the Wii is not an HD system. Since this will probably, at the very least, be 720p, they'll probably up the textures quality and smooth out the graphics a little.
RE4 was just a letterbox game blown up to widescreen (guess Capcom didn't feel like re-doing the engine). MH3 rendered internally to 360p, that's why it looked blurry. MHG is in 480p and looks a lot sharper as a result.
Okay, here's my question, is this going to be DDL only or will it be on disc? If on disc, I'll definitely get it. Otherwise no dice. I don't like DDL for games much, unless they're on a mobile phone, or they're free.
looking forward to this claire redfield is my favorite RE char its a shame shes been reduced to the sidelines and made a lame appearance in the RE CGI movie.
Aren't they making another one?
Oh nice, both games were pretty fun so this'd be a nice addition to the collection. :)
I wonder if the Resident Evil: Outbreak games could see a return? Those were pretty fun to play with other people. Except for the one douche who would hold a door closed with everyone else still inside. Jerk…
I am honestly sick of re-releases but meh, might grab it being that my RE4 on PS2 isn't working
"Aya?" I think someone's been playing too much Parasite Eve, her name's Ada :P
Heh Code Veronica was the last Resident Evil I brought. Man that game was awesome so I'm glad its been given the another chance so to speak. Hopefully people will play it for historical sake and thus be kinder to the limatations the game had.
Call me crazy but I'd also like to have a version of the Gun Survivor 2 arcade game that made it to JPN/EU PS2
so HD remix, with achievements or trophies?
or mostly a compilation port…
They will obviously be HD remasters complete with your stat tracking flavor of choice.
RE4 and Code Veronica X remastered all shiny like and on 360 / PS3?
I umm, yeah. That is one hell of an announcement, Capcom.
Consider me hyped!
Now just remaster + remake RE2 (RE3 wouldn't hurt either, but preference for RE2) and I'll be set for life. =O
(On an unrelated note, I should probably pass on my RE4 Wii copy to a friend. Picked it up just because it seemed the best version out and RE4 such a good game. Would have easily waited on it had I known a 360 / PS3 version would eventually be released)
$30 for both games and move controls for RE4. Will make me forget the garbage RE5 was!

Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta has confirmed that the club's star players will not leave this summer.
The likes of Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba have been heavily linked with moves away from the Bianconeri during this off-season.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are both thought to have registered an interest in the pair, but the board member has insisted that the best players will remain in Turin – thanks to Antonio Conte's recent admission that he will stay.
"We have clear ideas," he told reporters at Milan's Bocconi University. "We're a winning team that has a leader for a Coach.
"For this reason, I'm excluding the possible departures of our stars.
"Real Madrid have shown an appreciation of Vidal, but that's it. And with Pogba we hope to meet in the coming weeks to renew his contract."
Marotta then commented on potential signings in the transfer window.
"Drogba is available on a free and we have made an offer. For Pereyra we have spoken with Udinese, but discussions are ongoing.
"Alexis Sanchez? We really like him, but we haven't made a move."

Interest Free Funds Wanted!
Sensing slowdown in Pune real estate market, on the occasion of auspicious Akshaya Tritiya, big and small builders in Pune launched the campaign of collecting interest free booking amount and 20% own contribution from the naive property buyers.
Thanks to all local newspapers for helping out the Pune builders by taking extra efforts to print color suppliments. In their thanks giving speech Pune builders say:
Without your help it would have been impossible to tempt the property buyers to shell out their hard earned money for the projects which haven't received all the necessary sanctions.
Thanks for the timely help to catch the property buyers before their eligibilty is reduced because of the double digit home loan interest rates.
Thanks for helping the builders to safeguard their investment in the land. Thanks for providing funds for the site development and constructing sample flat, and if possible, even the foundation and RCC structure!
Thanks for helping the builders to recruit the desparate property buyers who are willing to risk their life by offering interest free funds by investing in Pune real estate market.
Out of many builders in a hurry to collect the interestfree funds form the property buyers, i visited 3 projects this weekend.
1) Paramount Eros, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats at Gokulnagar Chowk, on Katraj Kondhwa Road, Pune 411 046
2) Alcon Signare, 2 BHK & 2.5 BHK Flats at Kondhwa Budruk, off NIBM Road, Pune 411 028
3) Karia Builders' Konark Meadows, 1 BHK, 2 BHK, & 3 BHK Flats in RMC Garden Compound, behind Moze College, Wagholi - Kharadi Annexe - on Nangar Road
|Paramount Eros, 2 BHK 3 BHK Flats at Gokulnagar Chowk, next to Paramount Gardens, Katraj Kondhwa Road, Pune 411 046 Launch Ad - 1
Paramount Eros - Well lit homes - as well lit as Rohan Ishan Bavdahn - on Katraj Kondhwa Road!
When you are in Paramount Eros Home, it doesn't really matter what washing soap you use for your cloths. Our homes will make everything look brighter.
Paramount Properties and Kalpavruksha Developers had all the right reasons to claim that Paramount Eros homes are as well lit as Rohan Ishan in Bavdhan Budruk Gram Panchayat.
Besides designed by the same architect, Savli - Hingmire & Associates, - one of the best architects of small size homes in Pune - the Paramount Eros has Pune Municipal Corporation and bore well water supply!

Paramount Eros - Study minutely before you choose your flat:
|Paramount Eros, 2 & 3 BHK Flats at Gokulnagar Chowk, on 'main' Katraj Kondhwa Road - hoarding at Katraj Depot, Satara Road, Pune
|Welcome to Paramount Eros, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats at Gokulnagar Chowk, on Katraj Kondhwa Road, Pune
Paramount Eros at Gokulnagar Chowk on Katraj Kondhwa Road is one single stand alone building which is divided into 4 wings. The paid volunteer at the launch function told me that only 2 wings - A & B Wings - are available for booking. In this 2 level parking + 11 stories building, there are 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats. The paid volunteer didn't know anything more than that.
Certainly, the sample flat at Paramount Eros was not ready. So, i collected the price list and xerox of floor plans and decided to talk to the guy from HDFC at the site. When i asked whether Paramount Eros is approved by HDFC, like any smart bank executive, he said that the builder has submitted the file and Paramount Eros will be approved in a couple of weeks time! About the home loan interest rate, the HDFC guy said that at this point of time he was calculating at the rate of 9.75 % but soon the rate would be 10.25%.
When i studied the floor plans, i found out a few interesting things about Paramount Eros. Since, there is no website of Paramount Eros, i can't show you the floor plans. So, in short, i can tell you only 3 things.
1) Study the floor plan minutely before the booking.
2) Decide how much more you can afford to pay for the terraces.
3) Decide how much important is it to book on the higher floor.
In the A Wing of Paramount Eros, smallest carpet area of the 2 BHK Flat is 630 sq.ft. and biggest is 656 sq.ft. But if you look at the room dimensions, you will find that width of the living of the big flat is only 3 inches more and width of the kitchen cum dining is only 2 inches more than the smaller flat. But, there is a huge difference in the property price! On the 2nd floor, all inclusive property price of the smaller 2 BHK Flat (630 carpet) is Rs. 35.79 lakhs and of the bigger 2 BHK Flat (656 carpet) is Rs. 37.35 lakhs. The same flats cost Rs. 37.71 & 39.37 on the 10th floor.
In case of the 3 BHK Flats (Actually 2.5 BHK Flats with 2 toilets and 3 bedrooms) in the A Wing of Paramount Eros, all room dimensions of the smallest 3 BHK Flat (808 sq.ft. Carpet area) and the biggest 3 BHK Flat (817 sq.ft. Carpet area) are same - at least i couldn't find any difference and i may be wrong - but their carpet areas were different. The same about the property prices. On the 1st floor these flats cost Rs. 45.71 & 44.17 Lakhs and on the 9th floor - Rs. 48.20 & 46.57 Lakhs.
Paramount Eros - No Fire NOC!
|Paramount Eros, 2 BHK 3 BHK Flats at Gokulnagar Chowk, next to Paramount Gardens, Katraj Kondhwa Road, Pune 411 046 Launch Ad - 2
I was surprised to see that the B, C, & D Wings of the (2 level parking + 11 floors) Paramount Eros had only 1 staircase. As per the new development rule these buildings should have 2 staircases and 2 lifts.
So, i called the number given on the brochure (88050 63777). The sales executive told me that the Paramount Eros hasn't yet received the "Fire NOC". If PMC, insist they have left the provision for constructing additional staircase.
"Good example of Pune real estate locha! What a hurry to collect Peti and Khoka!," i said to myself.

Judge Orders man to become a nerd
A newsstand that's brimming with issues
Thursday, March 22, 2018, 19:55:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
16 June 2007
Silicon Valley, Internets- A 24 year old man is being forced to become an uncool nerd after pleading guilty on charges of assault on his ex-girlfriend. "It was either that or 10 years in prison," said Barrister Griffiths, the presiding judge. "He's got off easy and I'm sure as long as cooperates with the court he'll never be able to commit such a crime again".
The sentence includes a strict dress-code which includes him being forced to wear large thick glasses, a white or plaid shirt with pocket protector(s), and ironed pants with a belt. He may wear shorts as long as they are ironed and he is wearing knee high socks. He also must have his hair combed at all times, and wear polished black tennis shoes with white socks (or vice-versa, if he chooses). In addition, later added by the judge, he must make sure his clothes are clean at all times or else this well be direct violation of his "his restricted coolness".
He is also being forced to carry with him a government approved graphing calculator that features a quad core Intel hypertheaded 64-bit processor with 2 GB of superpostioned RAM and a combination a/b/g Wifi/etherent/bluetooth adapter around with him. (The calculator is required to run Debian Linux) He may carry a portable gaming device with as long as it has been modded so that everyone will think he is a hardcore gamer.
He must carry a black, a blue, and a red pen with him in his pocket protector along with a slide rule and a yellow highlighter. He must keep all of these items well polished and in good condition as any geek would.
He must meet all of the courts orders within 60 days or else he'll force to spend time in prison instead,however some say that this is clear violation of laws that outlaws "cruel and unusualness punishment". Despite this and protest from human rights groups, anti-nerd, and even some nerd groups the court has approved of this plea deal.
Griffiths said in a statement "This deal comes as the best way to protect the general public from future crimes. He and his lawyers agree with this deal and that he has agreed to cooperate with this court order. This is not a cruel and unusual punishment this is just a easy and unusual punishment."

Fall Convocation to Be Held Oct. 17
Posted: September 18, 2007 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Mason's fall 2007 convocation is set for Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 3 p.m. in the Johnson Center's Dewberry Hall on the Fairfax Campus. "Celebrating the Present, Preparing for the Future" is the title of the event, which is open to the entire campus community. Mason alumni and city and county leaders are also invited.
President Alan Merten will lead a program that focuses on Mason's various safety measures, including the workings of its campus crisis/emergency team and the Counseling and Psychological Services Center's new "Gatekeeper" program, which is designed to train faculty and staff to identify individuals who may be troubled and give them the communication skills to encourage these persons to seek professional help.
Two special anniversaries in Mason's history will also be recognized: the 50th anniversary of Mason opening its doors, when it was a satellite campus of the University of Virginia; and the 35th anniversary of the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia declaring Mason an independent university.
Refreshments will be provided outside Dewberry Hall at the conclusion of the convocation.
