Varanasi or Benaras or Kasi or Kashi , this old and perennial city of India , which symbolises Hindu ethos and its timeless tradition , is a new metropolis , yet it existed and started its journey several millennium ago . As per tradition and folklore it is 5000 years old city . Its mythical and cultural name is Kashi . Rigveda mentions this city as Kasi or Kashi . During British era the name was changed and the city came to be known as Benaras . After independence the city was rechristened as Varanasi . Varuna and Assi are two rivers , which caress the city from two sides , hence the city was rechristened as Varanasi .
Varanasi predates history . It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities of the world and the oldest city in India . As per Hindu mythology this city rests on the trident of Bhagwan Shiva . This city is closely associated with the legendary Raja Harishchandra , an ancestor of Bhagwan Ram . Harishchandra ghat still exists and bears his name and reminds us of his supreme sacrifices in pursuit of truth . Along with AYODHYA , MATHURA , MAYA [ HARIDWAR ] , KANCHI , AVANTIKA [ UJJAIN ] and DWARKA , Varanasi , for the Hindus , is the 7th Holiest Cities of India . I consider myself lucky and fortunate that I have chance to visit all the above mentioned seven cities .
I have been to Varanasi several times . I first visited this city with my parents and other siblings , while I was a toddler . It was for the MUNDAN [ Tonsure Ceremony ] of my younger brother . I still remember my first journey to Varanasi by train . I was a kid and I used to converse with my parents only in Bhojpuri . My father insisted that while in Varanasi , we all must converse in Hindi . I was finding it difficult and avoided speaking throughout the journey .
I have visited this city numerous times since then . Every year when I visit my native place Deoria , I have to make a halt either at Varanasi or Lucknow . This year in June , I took a morning flight from Mumbai on June 16 , 2012 and along with my wife , landed there in the afternoon . Varanasi now has a swanky and sprawling airport . Old airport was not worthy of the reputation of this ancient city . This new Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport is truly impressive .
I took a cab and drove to Hotel Gautam Grand near Varanasi Cant station .
When in Varanasi , you have to enjoy the crowded lanes and by-lanes of this mythical yet modern metropolis . Godaulia is the nerve – centre of the city .
The world-famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the 12 JYOTIRLINGAS of Bhagwan Shiva in India . You dare not afford to miss this shrine . The old temple , built by Adi Shankaracharya in 8th century , was destroyed by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb , who built a mosque on the ruins of this temple , which , today , is known as Gyanvapi mosque . The present Kashi Vishwanath temple was built by Ahilya Bai Holkar of Indore in 1717 . This temple was adorned by Maharaja Ranjit Singh , who donated 820 k.g. gold in 1889 .
After darshan of Kashi Vishwanath temple , you proceed to Dashashwamedha Ghat , where Ganga Aarti is performed in the evening . Dashashwamedha Ghat was built by Maharaja Savai Jai Singh II in 1693 . It is one of the 100 ghats of Varanasi . Originally Ganga Aarti was started in Haridwar by Mahamana Madan Mohan Malaviya . Few years back it was started in Varanasi also and today it is major tourist attraction .
Apart from Dashashwamedha ghat , Kedar ghat and Harishchandra ghat are other two major ghats of Varanasi .
Sankat Mochan temple is the another famous temple of Varanasi . According to the folklore , Sant Tulsidas worshipped here and Bhagwan Hanuman gave him darshan . After Kashi Vishwanath temple , it is the 2nd most revered temple of Varanasi for Hindus .
Varanasi is famous for Sants like Tulsi Das , Kabir Das , Ravi Das , Tailang Swami and Keena Ram . Tailang Swami and his disciple Keena Ram Baba followed AGHOR PANTH . Keena Ram Baba is most famous exponent of AGHOR PANTH . I visited his Ashram also . This was my first visit . I visited it twice . First visit was in the afternoon of June 16th and the second one was next day , on June 17 , 2012 .
I left Varanasi on June 17 , 2012 in the morning . While proceeding towards Sarnath and Aundihar , I started remembering several luminaries of Indian history , who were born in Varanasi and spent their lives in this city .

Varanasi is not a remote place for me . It is in between Mumbai and Deoria . I can and will visit it as long as I am alive . But then being alive is the big , unknown and unanswered question . Who knows it is my last visit or not ? Who knows whether I would be able to visit it again or not ?
I started for Deoria with heavy heart . Though I do hope to visit Varanasi again in winters for Allahabad Kumbh mela . Lines of Agyeya come running in my mind :
पार्श्व गिरि का नम्र चीड़ों में , डगर चढ़ती उमंगों सी ;

Relatives of Bulger's victims to speak at mobster's sentencing
Photo: AP
BOSTON >> Spectators are lining up at federal court in Boston, hoping to get a seat at the two-day sentencing hearing for gangster James "Whitey" Bulger.
About 55 family members of victims are expected in court for the hearing Wednesday. Relatives of at least 11 victims who Bulger was convicted of playing a role in killing will get to speak.
The judge has not yet ruled on whether relatives of people whose murders Bulger was acquitted of will also be allowed to speak. Prosecutors are seeking two consecutive life sentences.
Gusina Tremblay, one of the jurors who convicted Bulger, is also in court this morning. She says she's there to support the victims' families and expects other jurors to be there too.

ITHACA, NY — The U.S. Green Building Council has granted LEED Platinum certification — the highest possible standard — to the Peggy Ryan Williams Center at Ithaca College. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the nation's preeminent program for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.
With the college's Dorothy D. and Roy H. Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise having previously been certified to the LEED Platinum level, Ithaca thus joins the company of Yale University as the only academic institutions in the world to have two newly constructed Platinum LEED buildings on their campus.
Named for the college's seventh president — now
president emerita — the Peggy Ryan
Williams Center was designed by HOLT
Architects and built by
Christa Construction to incorporate the highest of
sustainability principles. Opened in the fall of 2009, it houses
the Office of the President and other senior administration, Office
of Human Resources, Division of Enrollment and Communication, and
Division of Graduate and Professional Studies.
"Great credit goes not only to the PRW Center's designers and builders, but also to our facilities staff and to those who work in the building," said Ithaca College president Tom Rochon. "Their day-to-day occupancy and operations ensure that its sustainable elements are used to their fullest. To be in such distinguished company with two Platinum LEED buildings gives us all an incredible sense of pride and achievement."
In addition to offices, the 58,000-square-foot building features a large atrium overlooking Cayuga Lake and a multipurpose auditorium for admissions presentations to prospective students and their families.
Over 50% of the building's energy comes from renewable sources, with a geothermal system using the Earth's relatively consistent temperature to provide heating and cooling. Other sustainable features of the building include:
- Nearly 6,500 square feet of vegetated roof area to replace land taken by the building, reducing airborne pollutants and adding oxygen to the atmosphere.
- Natural convection ventilation that pre-cools the atrium at the start of each day by drawing cooler night air across a shade garden on the north side of the building and relieving it out the light monitor four stories above.
- Sensors that control light fixtures and mechanical ventilation based on natural light levels and occupancy to reduce their use and conserve electricity.
- A 12,000-gallon tank below the garden that collects rainwater from the roof, serving over 85% of the building's yearly water needs.
The LEED system awards points according to a strict set of criteria that fall within a half-dozen categories, such as indoor environmental quality, materials and resources, and water efficiency. Projects can be designated at one of four levels (in ascending order) — certified, silver, gold or platinum — based on the number of points earned.
The PRW Center is located adjacent to the Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise, which serves as home to the Ithaca College School of Business. In 2008 the Park Center became the first facility for a college or university business school in the world to be certified LEED Platinum.
Connecting those buildings with one another and with others on campus is the Classroom Link corridor, which itself has earned LEED Gold certification. Currently under construction and scheduled to open in the fall of 2011 is the college's new athletics and events center, a multipurpose complex that has been designed to meet at least LEED Silver standards.
The college has also been recognized with the prestigious Energy Star seal for three of its residence halls. A joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy, Energy Star encourages and recognizes efforts that help save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.

Nine Cleveland-area voting locations without power in Sandy's wake
Superstorm Sandy has left a trail of wreckage in her wake, devastating mid-Atlantic coastal communities. But her political impact may be felt as far inland as Ohio, where more than nine polling precincts in and around Cleveland still do not have power four days after the storm passed.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that "Cleveland, Lakewood, Brecksville, Berea and Hunting Valley each have one polling place in the dark. Bay Village has four spots without power." In addition, more than a dozen other polling locations could not be reached by phone.
Election officials have voiced confidence that Tuesday's election will not be affected by the power outages, pointing to reports from local utility companies that power should be restored to affected areas by the end of Monday.
But their contingency plans do not exactly inspire confidence: "If we encounter outages, we have portable generators we could deploy to a limited number of locations and also have flashlight supplies on hand to help deal with that situation," said Jane Platten, Cuyahoga County Board of Elections director.
Come Tuesday, President Obama and his team would probably like to rely on more than flashlights and generators to ensure that voting in Cuyahoga County proceeds unencumbered - the Cleveland area is a Democratic bastion in fiercely competitive Ohio, and Mr. Obama needs to amass a prohibitive advantage there to offset Romney's strength in southern Ohio.

NYAA Baseball – Player Placement
In-House Leagues:
** players are eligible to play up to their grade level without regard to their birthdate
Travel Leagues / Parkland Leagues (Spring):
* Players are eligible to play up to their grade level without regard to their birthdate
** Leagues selected for each age group will vary from year to year to assure proper competition levels for our players
Note: Tryouts are an open competition to field the most competitive team(s) in the highest level(s) that each age group will participate. Unless notified prior to the selection of the team(s), players participating in the tryout process understand that they may be selected to a travel team. If players are selected and offered a position on a travel team - their options will be to either accept the offer or decline the offer. If the player declines the offer to play on a travel team, the player is willfully declining the opportunity to play on any of the travel teams and the players request will be fulfilled and they will be placed in the non-competitive league for the season.
Fall Baseball – Player Placement – If leagues are splitting into competitive and rec levels for the fall season, player selections will be based off of spring scores as well as coach input from the spring season. If a volunteer wants to run fall tryouts – then scores from tryouts will be used to help with player selection. If there are no tiered levels of play, players will be divided into teams through coach selection.

Subversion 1.7 Support
Collabnet has recently officially released it's new Subversion client in version 1.7. Sadly, our integrated subversion clients we use in the IDE (both javahl and svnkit) support 1.6 working copies at max. Coming across a 1.7 working copy results in exception and the client refuses to talk and work with such a working copy. To fully support the 1.7 subversion we need to upgrade our clients. Unfortunately, svnkit has not yet released a compatible version (they're planning it for the end of November 2011 as stated on download page) and javahl (along with the svnClientAdapter) are not fully tested. To sum up, we are not able to deliver a compatible bundled svn client for the 7.1 release. The schedule is the next release (7.2?).
Although neither of our bundled clients is compatible with 1.7 working copies, don't fall into despair, there's still a work-around and you can use a (now obsolete in the IDE) commandline client. You just need to know how to activate it and make it a default used subversion client. To achieve this, run the IDE with:
Add this option to netbeans_default_options in INSTALL_FOLDER/etc/netbeans.conf. From this moment, the IDE will use the commandline client (svn executable) instead of the javahl or svnkit.
Warning: not all features will work with the commandline client since it was made obsolete in 7.0 and later features in the IDE are not supported.
Easier way
The work-around does it's work but it's difficult to set up and not every user knows about it. We need to automatize the process and switch to the commandline client automatically (do the whole thing while the IDE's running, without a restart at best).
- Opening a project from SVN 1.7 working copy with a 1.6 client. A user opens his project from a 1.7 WC and runs Subversion -> Update from it's context menu. The 1.6 client refuses to talk to the WC and throws an error. But instead of simply reporting the error, we parse the exception, realize that the problem is 1.7 WC and display a dialog offering an option to automatically switch to a commandline client. If he accepts, we switch to the client on run and store a flag that will enforce the commandline upon the next startup. From now on the IDE will use the commandline client until...
- Overriding the cmd client. User wants to switch back to his 1.6 client. Maybe he's changed his mind and now wants to return to his 1.6 old working copies because he was not happy with 1.7 features. If he previously switched to the commandline client with the previous automatic process, he now needs to manually run the IDE with -J-DsvnClientAdapterFactory=javahl. If he does so, the flag instructing us to use the commandline client will be cleared and no more have an effect on the IDE's behavior. The process is not irreversible, if he opens a 1.7 WC sometimes in future, the dialog offering the fallback will be displayed again.
- Svnkit and Javahl are upgraded to 1.7. When this happens, the flag will be cleared and the IDE will work normally, that is javahl will be the primary client, next svnkit and at last the commandline as a fallback.

Teriyaki salmon bento
I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)
Easy: 6 steps, 16 minutes

Marinated beef and pasta bento
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!

Gun owners plan rally for start of fall legislative session to oppose fingerprinting measure
...Gun owners from around the state plan to remind Illinois lawmakers about their opposition to a measure that would require those seeking a Firearm Owners Identification card to submit fingerprints on the first day of the fall legislative session.
Lawmakers return to Springfield on Oct. 28 for the first three days of the veto session. State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson said he expects it to be a busy session with a lot of different issues coming up. The association will focus on Senate Bill 1966, a measure that would increase fees for Firearm Owner Identification cards.
Depending on where you are in the state, it drives up the cost between $200 to $300 for every five years so it becomes cost-prohibitive for the law-abiding firearm owner to do this, Pearson said.
The measure would also require FOID applicants to provide fingerprints at the applicant's expense.
Remember the Second Amendment is a fundamental right, Pearson said. Theres no other fundamental right that requires fingerprinting or anything even close.
Supporters of the measure have said fingerprinting is necessary to ensure people applying for a FOID card are allowed to have one. Sponsors of the measure said the fingerprinting mandate is needed to address loopholes in the system that led to a convicted felon from Mississippi getting a FOID card in Illinois, and buying a gun. That man killed five people at an Aurora warehouse in February even after his FOID card was revoked. State police revoked his FOID card after they discovered his felony conviction, which he had lied about on his initial application.
The bill has already passed the House. It is a Senate vote away from the governors desk.
Its down to the point where it just takes one vote in the Senate for this bill to become law and so we cant take a chance on not being there, Pearson said.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker has said he supports requiring fingerprints for FOID applications.
"It helps, it really does, we've got to be able to identify those FOID cardholders," the governor said in September....

I hate taking pills. In fact, in another lifetime (before I had kids) I declared that I'd better stay healthy when I got old because there was no way I could EVER take a pill a day, let alone several.
Then I had kids. Kids taught me, in so many ways, to never say never. After my second pregnancy, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The treatment? A pill a day.
Treating thyroid conditions requires consistency. The medication is slow to build in the body, so it takes about 3 months to reach peak efficacy. This means that you can skip a day without much negative effect. I tried taking the pills. It would work for a day, a week, maybe even a month. But then I'd forget for a day. One day became two, then four, then 20. Failure. I'd try again, but inevitably, I would fail at taking my pill consistently, which meant that the pills weren't really going to help me. They were a mental pain, a sign of weakness and failure. I hated thinking about them every day. I felt demotivated, sick, and old – at age 31.
I did some further research about hypothyroidism, educated myself thoroughly, and decided that my condition wasn't worth treating. (Or at least, that it wasn't worth treating if I couldn't treat it perfectly). My case was mild, my symptoms minor and not at all bothersome, and the pills seemed to be taking over my life. My doctor didn't understand or agree with my choice, but he acknowledged my autonomy as a patient. I continued to have my TSH levels checked yearly to make sure nothing was changing. I didn't deny that I had the condition. I just chose not to treat it, because if I couldn't treat it perfectly, I wasn't going to treat it at all. And this way, I didn't have to face the daunting spectre of imminent failure every singe day.
This coping mechanism worked fine for 8 years or so, but then in 2009 early pre-menopause and hypothyroidism became contributing factors in an apparent radical hormone imbalance that resulted in depression. As I got on the road to recovery, it became clear that I really needed to start consistently treating my thyroid condition to maintain good mental and physical health. So I started taking a pill a day.
The first year was on-again, off-again – just like before. But this time, I was also seeing my lovely therapist who helped me examine what I was doing and how I was feeling. Somewhere in our conversations, I had the idea that I could change my definition of "success." Maybe "success" didn't need to be synonymous with the "perfection" of taking a pill a day and never skipping. Maybe I could lower the bar and re-define success as "taking a pill a day until I didn't – THEN taking a pill a day even after a skip."
So in January, 2011 I started a chart because I'm a firm believer in the concept that you pay attention to what you track. I made a little calendar that could fit inside my pill box, and I started writing "P" every day that I took my pill. I did pretty well! I went a whole 37 days before I missed a few days from being sick. Ugh. I gritted my teeth and started taking the pill again.
This "failure" was now progress – and success! All of a sudden, the very thing would have made me feel like a failure – missing a few days of pill taking – made me feel successful – all because I'd changed my definition of success and accepted the inevitability of human imperfection.
I went 47 more days without missing, then I missed a day, took pills for two more days, and missed an entire WEEK. Here was a challenge. Could I stick to my new definition of success and start again? I could, I did, and life was good. It was summer of 2011 and I wasn't perfect, but I felt successful – I WAS successful!
Or was I? Maybe I was cheating. Is changing the definition of "success" to make it less than perfection really succeeding? It sure is. And in a weird way, it enabled perfection. Because you see, I didn't every give up the notion that taking the pill a day, every day, was the ultimate goal, the perfect goal. I just stopped making it the ONLY goal.
I am a Christian and my Lutheran faith tells me that Jesus died for my sins so that I could be perfect in God's eyes. God wanted perfect obedience from his creation, but he also wanted it freely given from us, so he gifted us with free will and the ability to choose obedience – or not. Satan is real and Satan is allowed to tempt us, try to part us from our loving creator God. Sadly, from the very first human, we've chosen temptation and disobedience over perfection. We are a corrupted creation.
But God changed the definition of success for us through Jesus. Instead of heaven being reserved for beings who never make a bad choice, heaven is now for those who acknowledge their failures, regret them, and come to terms with the inevitability of them. To attain heaven, we must let go of our human lust for pride and power, admit complete defeat, and accept God's superiority over us by accepting Jesus as savior. We can't even do that perfectly, so we have to do it over and over again, never losing faith that through God, our imperfection can be made perfect. In holy communion, I accept Jesus as my savior again. I acknowledge what I have chosen to say and do (and what I have chosen to NOT say or NOT do) that goes against what my omniscient and omnipotent God knows would ultimately make me happiest. My sins are forgiven and I am made perfect.
In other words, when you are a Christian, every day is New Year's Day.
I continued trying to take my pills. I missed most of April, May, June, and July, 2012. In the past, I would have considered that an EPIC failure. But because of my new definition of success, I instead had the opportunity for epic success. I started taking my pills again on July 26th. And this time, I didn't stop. So today, December 31, marks the last day of 5 consecutive months of not missing one day of pill taking!
Today I am perfect.
I know that I will fail again. Maybe not tomorrow, but some day. I am human and I simply am not capable of attaining perfection in my present form. But now I know how to shrug off the curse of perfectionism that tells me I will never succeed, change my definition of success, start over, and achieve. I wish you nothing less in 2013.

On my last job, working mostly on our iOS app as a frontend developer, something struck me hard. So much effort went into building plumbing code, things like offline caching, pagination, connection error handling. Whenever I spend so much time on infrastructure code instead of implementing features, I've always started questioning the very paradigms I'm working
Yesterday, when they announced Android Studio during the keynote of Google I/O, my very first reaction was "Oh no! Too bad for Jetbrains! Even though they build awesome plugins for Android development, they will be taken over by Android Studio, beaten by their own platform!". But then I saw this: And I realized that even
It is a well-known yet long-standing fact that setting up payment processing is much harder in Europe than it is in the United States for example. A major reason for that complexity comes from the fact that, contrary to the US where they have big national banks that cover the entire American market, European payment
Top 5 reasons why you should consider Groovy and Grails for your enterprise software architecture right now
I'm so amazed when I see how so few companies are using Groovy and Grails right now, and are still using old stuff like Spring and Hibernate, that I thought I would jump in and do my share of educating. And why not give in to the fashion of top lists while I'm at it? So here it goes: if you are an enterprise software architect and you have a lot of Java in your world, you might want to read carefully what follows.
I used to have several grails applications deployed on CloudBees. I liked the fact that they were Java all along, I liked the smooth integration between Jenkins CI and the deployment environment. I really liked the fact that you could hide an application behind a username and password during testing. I just hated their design
I got kind of bored with Flex and all the complexity it introduces by forcing you to switch between ActionScript and whatever you are using for the backend (Groovy in my case). I also got bored with having to regenerate my data service stubs on each server-side change, and having to handle the asynchronous remoting. So I started to have a look at Vaadin.
In many of my posts about Grails and Flex integration, I take for granted that I use Data Transfer Objects to transfer data between my Grails backend and my Flex frontend. Put simply, Data Transfer Object are pure data containing classes different from the domain entity classes used to store data in the backend. I take it for granted because I'm deeply convinced that it's the best way to do things and so far, experience has never proved me wrong. But I often get this question in comments or by mail (this is for you Martijn): why bother create an entirely separate class structure and copy data from entities to DTO's and back instead of just using entities?
At the end of the second article in this series, we ended up with a working application but it was not really ready for the real world because it had one major flaw: the URL of the AMF endpoint was hardcoded in the client in such a way that it was impossible to change after compilation and very hard to handle several environments (dev, test, prod). The solution to that problem is to integrate dependency injection into the mix.
Yesterday at Devoxx, Matt Raible did a very interesting talk on comparing JVM web frameworks. On this occasion he had the incredible courage of voicing his opinion on each of the most well-known frameworks, rating them in a matrix and the craziest part: showing this matrix to everyone. Immediately after his talk, Twitter was on

What is a contraindication and how do you know if you have one?
Contraindications are conditions or situations might keep you from being able to safely use Mifepristone-Misoprostol. These are generally things that you will already know about yourself.
Screening you for these contraindications on the internet is very similar to the screening process at a face-to-face visit between a doctor and a patient. The doctor generally finds out about contraindications by asking the patient if she has any of these medical conditions.
You might not know whether or not you are allergic to one of the medicines, but allergic reactions to these medicines are uncommon (0,008%) and very mild (hives).
More scientific information:
Women usually know if they have an IUD, hemorrhagic disorders, or chronic adrenal failure; if they are undergoing long-term corticosteroid therapy; or if they have an allergy to mifepristone, misoprostol, or another type of prostaglandin.7 A woman might not know whether or not she is allergic to one of the drugs, but allergic reactions to these drugs are uncommon. In a study that accounted for 80,000 women who have used Mifepristone-Misoprostol, 6 women (0.008%) had mild allergic reactions (hives) after they took mifepristone.15 In these 6 cases, the women developed hives, or welts on the skin that are extremely itchy. All of the women received treatment with an oral antihistamine and took the misoprostol with no further problems.15
"All contraindications to Mifepristone-Misoprostol, aside from gestational age…are uncommon and based on medical history and therefore should already be known to women. Indeed, doctors screen women mainly by asking them if they have the conditions 7 ."

I guess it comes from a deleted scene where Jesse Eisenberg gets playful with his dinner. Rumor has it it's gonna be included in the Snyder Cut.
2020-11-29 16:17:53
oh damn really? huh that would be cool. even with the ultimate edition there's still deleted scenes and I wish they were put on the Blu ray.
it plays during the scene after the knightmare when Clark is looking through the polaroids that say judge jury executioner on them. i don't remember if that's an extended scene or not as I've only seen the theatrical cut once in theaters. one and done lol

I don't know if anyone realized but listening and seeing some comments on the Dark Phoenix score, Zimmer apparentely is borrowing some old orchestral period pieces, and it happened to me that a few months ago, I was listening to the radio when I came across this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BV9a9KTAnI (Grand Sonata in F for Piano and Basset Horn, Op. 62: II. Larghetto by Franz Danzi) and immediately after hearing it, realized that it sound very similar to The Batman Theme from BvS, specially in the more quiet bits, and Zimmer or Junkie, can't tell who, just added a lot of adrenaline to it, which sounds great in my opinion.
Any thoughts?
PD: English is not my first language, sorry.

Funnily enough I always heard both "Gollum's Theme" from LOTR and "The Chamber of Secrets" from Harry Potter in Batman's theme, with the trumpet portions similar to Jerry Goldsmith's score for "Alien".
It's a really strong theme for the character, I feel like it was overshadowed by the pounding motif. And yes, Zimmer has always taken inspiration from classical music, most composers do honestly.

Good question. I honestly get the sense this largely scored to picture, given how varied the cues are, plus the fact Hans did the Day of the Dead and Tuesday cues alone.
The Batman Suite itself almost sounds like it was done after the score itself was composed, but I could definitely be wrong about that.
By the way, pretty fucking cool Hans did all (six?) of the themes on this. IMO that goes a long way to show he can still do really solid thematic work when he wants to.

Do any of you think that Junkie's Justice League score will ever get released or leaked? I was really excited to hear how Junkie planned on developing the themes used in the prior DCEU movies. Especially the Batman themes from BVS. It's a damn shame how WB handled that film.

It all depends on whether WB releases the Snyder Cut OR no I don't even want to think about the other case & with the way things are going now it looks like we'll definitely get Zack Snyder's Justice League if not today then tomorrow and only then your question will have any meaning.
TL;DR the score will only happen after WB #ReleaseTheSnyderCut
2020-02-19 16:48:48
Rejected scores have gotten official releases before, such as Timeline by Jerry Goldsmith. So even if the Snyder Cut never gets released, I'd hope Junkie could potentially still work out a deal to get his original score out there. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I recognize the official crediting on this is probably the result of the way the project was contracted, but man, it's still frustrating Junkie got cover & co-composer credit on a score he barely touched (seriously, he's credited here as having worked on SEVEN of 53 cues).
Personally, I'd credit things like this:
Original Themes Composed by Hans Zimmer [credited for all themes & cues]
Score Co-Composed by Hans Zimmer [see above] & Steve Mazzaro [31 cues; keep in mind Steve may well have been primarily responsible for a lot of the cues he and Hans are both credited for]
Additional Music Composed by Andrew Kawczynski [11 cues], Benjamin Wallfisch [9 cues], and Tom Holkenborg [7 cues]
Man of Steel / General Zod "Arcade" Theme Originally Composed by Hans Zimmer & Tom Holkenborg
(And yeah, this is borderline if not outright OCD-level, lol, but it just viscerally annoys me when creative works are credited this inaccurately.)

The cut's Snyder exists !!! Snyder himself has confirmed it. The movie has a duration of 3:40 hours. it's finished and you just need some effects retouching and you have the movie in your possession although it depends on the Warner executives.

I know, but the fact that Snyder confirms it, with his words gives me a lot of satisfaction
2019-03-30 14:57:39
But Holkenborg dosen't finish the score, maybe creates some demos of the ideas for the score
2019-03-30 15:32:03
Considering how much time he had on the project before getting the boot, I would guess that Tom probably wrote a suite (like he normally does) and possibly demo'd some early score cues. Nothing was probably recorded but I feel like the music does exist.
2019-03-30 22:37:00
If a 3+ hr cut that's pure Snyder exists then I have no doubt JXL recorded plenty of music
2019-03-30 23:03:51
Snyder, since the beginning of the DCEU, had a universe plan about 5 films. This five films will serve as the entry for every DC character, opposite as MCU. WB never trust in Snyder vision, change Batman vs Superman and got fired from Justice League. In the course of the anticipated main event (Justice League) WB got fired Snyder and bring Joss Whedon to reshoot the film, because WB wanted a happy film, not the dark and emotional tone from Snyder. The result: Justice League a.k.a. Avengers 1.5. (Maybe Whedon not to blame the result of the movie, he just did what WB indicated to him)
Wonder woman had her solo film and Patty Jenkins consulted Snyder
Aquaman solo film and Wan consulted Snyder
Flash Ezra Miller want a Snyder tone in Flash movie.
But WB wanted happy movies with tons of jokes every minute. Wonder woman was fun and dark at the same time.
Aquaman was fun and dark at the same time. Even had gore (The trench)
Shazam will be fun and scary
So, maybe, at the end of the time, WB will release the famous Snyder Cut and will continue the original vision of Snyder without Snyder. Maybe WB learned not copy the MCU.
As for the music, i hope Junkie has recorded the 3:40 hours music.

Here's a list of all the tracks in the complete score, and whether the tracks were unreleased or film edits of previously released tracks. In total, around thirty tracks - which make up over half the score - were completely unreleased. This amounts to around fifty minutes of unreleased music.
Also, for film versions that say (1/2) or (2/2) - that indicates the film version of a track from the original soundtrack is split into more than one track in the complete score. Feel free to let me know if there's any mistakes in this list. Enjoy!

There were a bunch of tracks that used that motif from Day of the Dead, but since they're new renditions of the original theme I didn't label them. That includes Capitol Montage B, Time Is Running Out, Tick Tock and some other tracks too.

Part 1 of Dreams is from 'New Rules'
Part 3 of Dreams is the intro to 'They were Hunters'
Also I think The White Portugese also uses part of 'New Rules'

If you read the cue names, it's really easy to discern. It's "Aftermath", which is conveniently located right after "Capitol Montage (Part 2)".
2018-03-29 15:27:24
Music from the extended cut scenes is not in this version. The bit of music darkknight refers to should start at 00:50 of the track you mentioned but it's not here. Most likely is that music from the extended cut wasn't recorded with this so, not here.
Like the Steppenwolf scene, that's not in this either.
2018-03-29 17:20:50
The Ultimate Cut didn't have additional recording sessions and used either altnerate takes of preexisting tracks, previously unreleased material, or edited preexisting tracks to be longer (this is noticeable in Batman's warehouse fight and the moment where Superman is fighting Doomsday before saving Lois). That said, this release isn't the true recording sessions, as Hans usually has plenty of alternate takes and there are none here.
2018-03-29 18:21:22
@bradyn any chance of the ultimate cut complete score being leaked?
2018-03-29 20:55:40
@darkknight, I have no idea, but I'd doubt it, since it doesn't technically have its own sessions. That said, the full sessions for BvS might leak, and, from there, someone could likely edit together the complete score for the Ultimate Cut.

Oh jeez. There are so damn many of these things these days, I've never really thought about ranking them. Gotta say I'm astonished at some of your rankings (if those are even rankings?). The Shadow and The Phantom at the very bottom? Those are two great scores!
Off the cuff, a top 10 of mine might look something like:
1. Superman (John Williams)
2. Batman (Danny Elfman)
3. The Rocketeer (James Horner)
4. X-Men: The Last Stand (John Powell)
5. The Amazing Spider-Man (James Horner)
6. Spider-Man/Spider-Man 2 (Danny Elfman)
7. The Shadow (Jerry Goldsmith)
8. Thor (Patrick Doyle)
9. The Incredible Hulk (Craig Armstrong)
10. Hancock (John Powell)
But I'm sure I'm forgetting something, somewhere. (Not Zimmer though. He'd rank pretty high on other lists, but not superheroes for me...)

2018-03-13 17:52:51
Even if it did sound the same, those would be JNH's "tunes", not Hans. ;)
2018-03-13 18:02:12
That theme what you talking is nothing less then dark krypton/superman theme. Listen "Look to the stars" or any others cues with that theme from man of steel and you gonna realize it too ;)
2018-03-14 03:25:50
I thought the same thing when I first heard it, but @Radik is right. It's a twisted version of the Superman theme. It's got a strong Dark Knight vibe to it but it's actually a rendition of Hans' Superman theme.
2018-03-14 13:07:10
I actually do think the tune from the last 5 minutes of the Dark Knight Suite (the ferry scene in the film) sounds very close to the dark variation on Supes theme in "Day of the Dead". Still, similar versions were also used in Gladiator and Crimson Tide so I guess it's a common progression for Hans.
2018-03-14 13:12:40
Just relistened and yeah, they are pretty close. The key difference is that the Dark Knight version stays in place while the Superman theme gradually ascends the scale, especially in "Ow, My Balls".

It's interesting that BvS uses Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2, and then less than a year later, Zimmer and Ben Wallfisch are both also involved in A Cure for Wellness, where the cue "The Rite" (which I'm pretty sure is the one Hybrid said Hans was involved in before he left the project) has a waltz in it that sounds definitely inspired by the Shostakovich (listen from 2:30 onwards). It's a pretty famous piece so most likely a coincidence, but you never know...

Oof, what are the chances that two tracks named Capitol Montage won't have the bit I was looking forward to the most. The one in the Subway when KGB kills that lady. Also, the scene in the scoutship with Steppenwolf. All the rest I was hoping for are there, though. Wreckage, Emerald City, Hero's Park, You Have to Believe, Preparation Montage, My Blood, Dawn of Justice and of course... Ow, My Balls.

This is the score for the theatrical cut. There are some interesting cues in the ultimate cut but those were done by music editors.
One of my favorite bits that are not on here is the variation of Lex's theme when Lois is in the helicopter.
2018-03-08 12:33:09
Ahmad, I was also looking for that extra choir variation of Lex's Theme. It was amazing and it's a bit sad that isn't here, but we have the rest of the complete score so I'm not complaining
2018-03-08 12:38:21
i was looking for the film version of "Our Hero". Where the piano starts at the end, in the movie it's played by strings and no piano. it's so much better. unfortunately not here. how can this be called complete or recording sessions, when cues from the movie are missing??
2018-03-08 12:53:56
Oh, good point. I guess since I regard the ultimate edition as the only version of BVS, I automatically assumed this would be the complete score for the complete version of the movie.
2018-03-08 13:38:03
Gringo. Maybe that track was edited after the sessions were made.
2018-03-08 13:49:06
Again, @gringo that's how it was in the THEATRICAL CUT. Maybe some day they will leak but you should be grateful that we even got this much of music.
@JBSO99 When I first watched the UC, it really took me by surprise. I didn't expect it at all since I'm used to the TC/album version. Still, I'm extremely grateful that we finally have most of the unreleased cues.
2018-03-08 13:54:44
@Ahmad: I haven't watched the theatrical cut, only the ultimate cut. haven't thought that they've used different cues or alternate cues in both movies. so thanks for explanation :)
2018-03-08 15:12:06
No problem :) It's funny how I prefer the album version with the piano abruptly cutting the strings. Oh, and I kinda hate how that piece is cut in half because they put the communion scene (Lex and Steppenwolf) right there. A very awkward shift in tone and it feels so out of place. I guess it's because I'm used the theatrical cut (Seen it twice in theaters).
2018-03-12 03:07:03
It's disappointing that the last part of "Dreams" (the piano bit, aka "They Were Hunters") is seemingly incomplete, as the version in the movie includes an extra bit of piano at the end of the track that's not on the complete or official score!

It seems to me like the original idea was for Hans to do the Superman parts and JXL to handle Batman (since Hans had tackled the character already) but that's not at all what ended up happening. Maybe JXL's Batman stuff wasn't up to scratch? I guess the co-composer credit is leftover from that.

So many beats were missing from the album and now I can enjoy whenever I want. I still wish we got the extended Luthor theme variation from the kidnapping scene, but I'm pretty happy nonetheless

That's how I feel too, it seems like certain instruments are completely under/overmixed on the album release.

2018-03-07 17:36:27
Yup it sounds much better now! Though I will add that I prefer how the official release combined the two Lex's fundraiser songs into the "May I help you, Mr Wayne" song. It sounds like it should be one song.

I love how "You Have to believe" starts off with the Superman theme and transposes into a corrupter version of Supe's theme (to show that Lex and Doomsday are connected to Superman).
2018-03-07 18:41:20
My personal favorite moment from the sessions is the interpolation of the Krypton theme and Lex's theme at the end of "My Blood".
Despite all of the criticisms I and others may have, this score is actually fairly intelligent. The album just didn't do a great job of showcasing that.
2018-03-07 20:07:20
I disagree. I think the album sounds way better than the recording sessions which sound muddy and unbalanced at times. I actually find it hard to believe that all of you believe otherwise :)
In some tracks the strings are a bit too low, some tracks are more brass heavy, some tracks have vocals/choir that is a bit too loud in the mix and a bit too dry compared to soundtrack album.
I gotta say, it's cool to hear the differences between the two versions.

Masaharu Morimoto's 11 Tips for Tuna and Sushi at the New York Culinary Experience
Note: Photos show a whole tuna being butchered. Click with caution.
The New York Culinary Experience at the International Culinary Center gives regular people a chance to take cooking classes from some of the country's most respected chefs, who lead hands-on demos of some of their signature dishes.
Chef Masaharu Morimoto of Iron Chef fame was one of the headlining celebrity chefs this year, so we jumped at the chance to learn some sushi-making tips from the master himself. He broke down a whole tuna for our learning pleasure, and then took us step-by-step though the process of making first-rate sushi.
The Tips
Preparation: 1: The brighter the color, the fattier the tuna is likely to be. 2: Slice tuna filets in one long, clean stroke with a long knife.
Nigiri: 3: Sushi is supposed to be finger food, so use your hands. 4: Dip sushi fish-side-down into soy sauce so the rice doesn't sog up. 5: Eat your nigiri whole.
Maki (Rolls): 6: Dried sheets of nori have a shiny and dull side. Work dull-side-down for stability. 7: Shape the rice delicately. Don't press down hard. 8: If working from larger cuts of tuna, little scaps and end bits are perfect for maki. 9: Use a bamboo rolling mat after shaping by hand for best results. Don't use the map to shape the roll initially.
Wasabi: 10: If using fresh wasabi, slice it for less heat and grate it for more heat. 11: The fattier the tuna, the more wasabi it can take. And don't mix your wasabi with your soy sauce!
Want more? Take a look through the slideshow for shots of breaking down down a tuna from whole fish to one-bite sushi.

First, I am dyslexic.. I cant spell my last name. Grammar is none existent. Therefore, stop expecting anything... Thanks!
I have been brutally assigned feedback I asked for by independent sources from other sites... First letter of inquiry concerning my attitudes;
1. You omnicell hate women
2. You think everyone is a sociopath
3. You say you have a college degree, why cant you write! Do you know nothing more then typo's
4. You are very weird
5. It has been suggested to me not to date anyone as I might damage them psychologically.
6. Why don't you keep your writing to yourself, you are A narcissist.
Im learning! And I appreciate the feedback...
Today A young women was sitting across from me at a bible study. I began to think about the feedback I received on other sites. PTSD problems overshadow my view of reality. I see things with such torturous anger and fear. My perceptions are clouded by a nervous-system taken hostage.
This young women began to speak. I realized she had a speech problem, and I began to judge her for it. I stopped and asked myself why I was judging. I was judging because my maturity was that of a 15 year old. I know this would pass and it did. I began to take a higher standard of character; I stopped judging... I noticed many things about her I did not like. However, I began to stop judging. Many things about this person I liked; and that is all that counts. She could have been a hurt person, she could have been all alone. Her life was not my business. How I treated her and how I thought about her was my business. No reason not to think highly of her.
IT was pointed out to me that people that I judge might be so torn down emotionally that they look horrible.
When I see through the eyes of dissociative disorder and PTSD, Im a cruel narcissist, abusive and demonic. Strangely, the real me is none of the above. The real me is kind and caring and thoughtful and lowly of heart.
Im slowly coming out of dissociative disorder. Im very narcissistic! I used to be pathological, so Im doing better! Im gaining ground.
I began to realize how sick I am when dealing with people. The closer I get the sicker I become; my judgments are ruthless hate and fear. Im really messed up in the head!
I was able to slow the process of judgment down when interacting with this young women. Im hoping in the future my warped and strained condition heals up and allows me to make friends with no need for judgments..
I have problems: no doubt!
I have problems when dealing with women! ?
Dissociative problems dealing with women. I hate talking about it!, I feel like a predator or something.. Certainly pathological routines exist in this sphere.
Get to close and I dissociate out.
My mother is the problem; her rejection of me and complete contempt; And I did nothing to her! being tortured has something to do with this. I do not remember. I was tortured for long periods. My nervous system remembers. However, I cannot remember all of it. I have hardly any memories... I go blank. All dissociative. For 2/3rds of my life, no real memories.
Im a sick person attempting to get close to people while still sick; and this is the problem!
Im starting to get close to people anyway! Not that close. Its progress not protection perfection.
I have lots of work ahead of me. I am motivated to change by the losses of potential best friends I could have acquired over the years. And what losses they are...
Deeper into the dissociative electrical drain pool I go. What I will discover! I hope to find the answers that will give me peace. And I pray to treat people with respect while I search for answers.
I have to trust God and stay away from everyone else. Its about me and God.. If they don't come back, they never were.....
I told or asked Go last month, if she didn't come back in a month, If by his permission I would move on. Its up to him, not me. He never sanctified that I talk with her or associate with her in the first place. I have to remember that. However, she loved me so deeply. It gives me the creeps to think I gave that up and that Gods not part of it. However, that is up to him not me.
And all of this was a long time Ago. The chances are it is long gone and always will be. If person can not see my worth, even if they want me. What is the point.

One day the old man had enough and said to the bully,," I'll bet you a weeks wages that I can put something in this wheelbarrow and push it to the other side of the construction site and you can't wheel it back." "Ha, replied the young bully, never in your best day , old man"!! The old man grabbed the handles of the wheelbarow, lifted them up and said,,"OK, smart guy,,,Get in"!!:D
