I rarely use Update manager and when ever I use it, I don't update everything, just a few programs which I use more frequently.
For selecting a update of a program I have to scroll through a huge list of updates.
Is there any option for searching for a specific update(s)?

Evette Vargas – Storytelling Across Platforms
(September 6, 2012)
Evette Vargas has always functioned comfortably in the world of transmedia. She began her career developing videogames (she came into the Guild initially as a Videogame Caucus member) then went on to write interactive content for Madonna.com, Vivendi Universal Games and Warner Bros, among others. So it was natural for Vargas, who has been a Guild member since 2008, to think across platforms four years ago when she conceived of Dark Prophet as a multi-platform franchise for the web, television, film, mobile apps, video games, merchandising, live events, even eComic books. Premiering this Fall as a web series on the Dark Prophet YouTube Channel and on Winnol.com, the sci-fi action thriller encompasses its creator's fundamental philosophy.
"The excitement for me as a writer and creator is that there are no boundaries," says Vargas, who created Dark Prophet under the aegis of Digital-Reign Productions, her own signatory company. "I believe that if you're a storyteller, you can tell a story on just about any platform, once you understand the structure of that platform. I think that puts more power in the hands of the writer and creator. Good storytelling is good storytelling."
By web standards, Dark Prophet is something of a production extravaganza replete with full-on action and a cast of well-knowns, including Henry Rollins (Sons Of Anarchy), Josh Meyers (That '70s Show) and Chase Fein (Suburgatory). The series, which is produced, directed and partially funded by Vargas, is also financed through a production award from NBC Universal. Its David-and-Goliath plot centers around a brilliant music student who discovers messages hidden in songs sent from a secret government agency plotting to sabotage the world into war. When the agency finds out they frame him for the murder of his girlfriend, he becomes Dark Prophet and goes on a mission to prove his innocence and, of course, stop the war.
The web premiere of Dark Prophet is the first step in what its creator envisions as a multi-platform franchise. The mobile app is designed, an original song has been produced and the script for the comic book is written. On the TV front, Vargas is also meeting with television executives who have expressed interest.
"Traditional vehicles and resources are drying up and changing," she says. "But as a storyteller you have the new media space and other roads to explore. If your idea is strong and you're innovative, you can make your own way. I'm a storyteller. I just want to create content."

Historically under the rule of the Gandhi dynasty and the Congress Party, India was at best frosty and at worst hostile towards Israel Nehru followed by his daughter Indira Gandhi viewed themselves as leaders of the non aligned movement (although the non aligned movement seemed to be rather pro Soviet) and the Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser was an ally of theirs. Also to counter Pakistan which is Islamic, India felt the need to not alienate the Arab world. During the 1962 Sino-India War, Nehru actually turned to Israel for arms (a nation he barely recognized). Nehru asked that the weapons arrive in Indian ports without any flags. Ben-Gurion said "No flags, no weapons". The flags remained on the ships. Thankfully things started to change in the early 1990's when India started warming up to Israel and established full diplomatic relations (up to that point India only half recognized Israel) and leaders from both nations (including military chiefs) visited each others country. India has become one of Israel's greatest arms customers as both nations are threatened by Islamofascism. Unfortunately, Obama's Islamophilic inclinations has made it manifest to all taht he is a supporter of Pakistan (Pock–ee-stan) and therefore he ahs kept at arms length the worlds largest democracy which should be a natural ally.

by Noah Beck
Both countries are homelands for ancient peoples who gained their independence from the British in the 1940s.
Both states have gone on to create vibrant, multicultural democracies that have experienced dynamic, technologydriven economic growth. India and Israel each also have a large Muslim minority population, and each faces an ongoing terrorism threat from foreign and domestic Islamic extremists; indeed, both Israelis and Indians were targeted and killed in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Even more serious, India and Israel each face ballistic missile threats from at least one close, hostile Muslim state.
India already faces the nuclear threat posed by Pakistan, and Israel may soon confront the same threat from Iran.
There is also a blossoming military and commercial relationship between India and Israel. Israel is India's second largest arms supplier after Russia, and Israeli-Indian military cooperation extends to technology upgrades, joint research, intelligence cooperation and even space (in 2008, India launched a 300-kilogram Israeli satellite into orbit). Israel has upgraded India's Soviet-era armor and aircraft and provided India with sea-to-sea missiles, radar and other surveillance systems, border monitoring equipment, night vision devices, and other military support.
Bilateral trade reached $6 billion last year and negotiations began this year for a free trade agreement.
Israel-India cooperation in agriculture and water technology is growing both through government-sponsored initiatives and private business deals.
Last year, Israeli and Indian government institutions jointly launched an online network that provides real-time communications between Indian farmers and Israeli agricultural technology experts, and Israel is in the process of setting up 28 agricultural training centers throughout India.
Last June, a delegation of 16 high-ranking Indian officials from the water authorities of Rajasthan, Karnataka, Goa and Haryana traveled to Israel to visit wastewater treatment plants and meet with some of Israel's leading environmentalists and agronomists to learn about the desert country's newest green technologies.
Tata Industries, the multi-billion- dollar Indian company, recently invested $5 million to kick-start the Technology Innovation Momentum Fund at Tel Aviv University's Ramot technology transfer company. Tata Industries hopes to capitalize on future Israeli innovation, like the algorithm for error correction in flash memory (which is one of the patents filed by Ramot and now inside billions of dollars' worth of SanDisk products).
[……..] Such a synergistic relationship is unsurprising, given the historically harmonious relations between the peoples of Israel and India.
Judaism was one of the first foreign religions to come to India: the Cochin Jews arrived about 2,500 years ago and settled in the city of Kerala, where they flourished as traders. In addition to the few thousand Jews who live in major Indian cities like Mumbai, there are also some larger Indian communities, like the 8,000 "Bnai Menashe" (from the northeastern Indian states of Mizoram and Manipur) who claim descent from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. While Jews have always been a minuscule religious minority in India, they have historically encountered very little anti-Semitism.
In Israel, about 1% of the Jewish population has Indian ancestry.
In addition to the many historic and economic reasons for India and Israel to strengthen their ties, there are also strong geopolitical motivators. Israel's tiny land mass (about 21,000 square kilometers) makes the Jewish state particularly vulnerable and compels it to make strategic use of seaborne offensive and defensive military capabilities. A vital component of those capabilities is Israel's submarine force, which requires friendly waters in which to deploy and maintain such a force – something that the Indian Navy can provide with its dominance of South Asian waters.
With the ongoing security threats posed by India's nuclear-armed rival, Pakistan, the Kashmir conflict (which recently claimed the lives of five Indian soldiers), and potential conflict with the other Asian heavyweight, China, India needs the kind of military edge that Israel can help it to obtain. [……..]
One area where India could deepen its alliance with both Israel and the US is on the issue of Iran. India, the second largest importer of Iranian crude oil after China, won its third 180-day waiver from US sanctions last June after reducing its oil purchases from Iran.
But in 2012, Iran and India agreed to trade in rupees for shipments of oil, rice, sugar and soybeans, to circumvent US financial sanctions on Iranian oil shipments. And Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals is now reportedly receiving a cargo of Iranian crude, after a four-month hiatus, with Hindostan Petroleum also restarting imports soon. [………]
While India has its own commercial interests, India also has a strong interest in a peaceful resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue. India's economic and diplomatic clout can help to pressure Iran into a compromise that prevents a catastrophic Middle East war. [………]
India's history of religious tolerance stands in stark contrast to that of Iran. Since Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran has been regarded as one of the world's worst offenders against freedom of religion.
Iran's vicious human rights abuses and undemocratic political system are also well known. Would India want such a country to have nuclear weapons? Isn't Pakistan enough? As a responsible member of the nuclear club, a fellow democracy and one of the greatest rising world powers, India should approach the Iranian nuclear issue as an opportunity to demonstrate how growing Indian clout can promote global security and curb extremist, undemocratic regimes like the Islamic Republic.
By deepening India's ties with other innovative and economically advanced democracies like the United States and Israel, India can better secure its own interests and position itself for continued growth and leadership in a more stable world
Read the rest – India and Israel's strategic ties

Pope Joan Rivers
The red-carpet maven discusses papal fashion.
What would Joan Rivers ask the Pope if she had a moment with him?. We asked her last night before the opening of the new musical A Catered Affair. "Can I borrow your old robes?," she replied. "They're fabulous. I would make drapes. The stuff he must throw away. I could get myself ready for the red carpet for the next ten years with his leftovers." —Tim Murphy

The Cannabis Column
Marijuana laws have been, are and always will be about the market. The problem with public policy is that it has been focused on the myth of availability rather than the reality of profit. Marijuana is available because it is profitable. Regulation of the profit regulates availability.
Marijuana advocates have long argued that powerful forces favor prohibition because of financial interests. This is mostly true, in that the regulation of market entry is one of the five forces that affect the profitability of any industry. However advocates – and opponents for that matter – must realize that having influence over availability is what drives public interest in marijuana laws. The public has been led to believe that prohibition reduces availability in general and especially availability to teenagers and children. One of the keys to ending opposition to legalization is addressing concerns about availability by examining the issue of profitability.
Five forces determine the profitability of any industry. Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter devised this framework for understanding modern markets and for developing business strategy. Porter's five forces framework is the subject of several books, a multitude of articles and a standard material in most management and business school studies. Michael Porter describes his framework in this YouTube video. The five forces are: market entry, competition between rival firms, substitute products, suppliers and consumers.
Most discussion about the marijuana market focuses on the impact of prohibition, which is essentially an attempt by the government to regulate market entry, and how the resulting illegality of the market impacts availability through raising the price of the commodity. At least that is the modern argument – the illegal nature of the product keeps prices high and consequently discourages use. Originally prohibition rested on the premise that making marijuana illegal would prevent people from buying it.
In fact, prohibition raised the price of marijuana, creating an incentive for people to enter the market. Indeed, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health 769,359 teenagers sold illegal drugs at least once in 2011. Since marijuana is the most popular illegal drug, it is likely that most of them, if not all, sold pot. Overall, more than 3.9 million people sold illegal drugs in 2011. Clearly prohibition of illegal drugs does not prevent market entry; it just makes drugs more expensive.
The common argument is that prohibition makes marijuana more expensive because merchants inflate the price to cover the risk of arrest – a tax of sorts to compensate them for the danger of being involved in an illegal market. Actually, prohibition keeps the price of marijuana high by reducing competition. Marijuana prohibition is a price support mechanism that allows merchants to charge artificially inflated prices. The immorality of prohibition is that government policy intentionally produces a market in which extensive profits are generated for the limited number of market participants. Listen closely to the arguments in favor of prohibition. High prices discourage use, that's the rationale for keeping marijuana illegal. Understanding marijuana as an economic market is the key to changing public policy. It is also the key to making money in the emerging legal marijuana market produced by state level reforms.
Here is how Porter's five forces provide clarity to understanding the dynamics of the marijuana industry. Start with the indisputable premise that marijuana is profitable and will be produced and sold. A merchant makes a profit on the sale of marijuana. This has been, is and will be true. The real question is who gets the profit, or more precisely, what forces affect how much profit is made by those participating in the market.
Most people think of profit as a function of competition between rival merchants and their ability to reduce costs, increase price and increase sales. This is basic economics. However Porter points out that, with respect to creating strategy, the five market forces all determine the profitability of a particular industry.
Strategy is a matter of creating a sustainable competitive advantage. Each of the five forces works to reduce profits. Newcomers to a market want a share of the existing profits. Suppliers want to charge higher prices, increasing their share of the profits. Consumers want lower prices, which is their way of trying to grab a share of the profits. Rivals compete over market share. And the makers of substitute products try to divert profits from popular merchandise to their alternative. Strategy is a matter of protecting profit from each of these five forces. In any market some (or all) of these forces are dominant, and as such have greater or equal impact on profits.
Traditionally market entry, influenced heavily by prohibition, has been the dominant force determining the profitability of the marijuana industry. This force is also a factor in medical marijuana businesses' recent opposition to making pot available to all adults. After all, increased competition will lower prices and lower their profits.
Over time the other forces have begun to gain more influence over the marijuana market. Consider the impact over the last several decades of indoor pot cultivation. This represents an increase in the impact of suppliers (with respect to commercial cultivation) and also that of consumers (when it comes to personal cultivation). Think about the interests of the alcohol industry and their reputed opposition to marijuana's legalization – in this framework marijuana is viewed as a substitute product for alcohol. Consider the emergence of synthetic marijuana. This is an example of a substitute product trying to capture a share of the profits in the marijuana market.
Marijuana law reform is a consumer rebellion against government price supports created and enforced by restricting entry into the marijuana market. Regulating the availability of marijuana should and can be done by way of age limits, rather than through the protection and preservation of illegal, untaxed and underserved profits.
Arguments for expanded legalization aside, the five forces framework provides a rationale and instructive perspective on the changing dynamics of the marijuana industry. Porter's framework provides explains competitive dynamics, public policy disputes and the rapidly changing environment for capital investment. Anyone who wishes to succeed in the new cannabis marketplace will benefit from learning more about Porter's five forces and their relationship to corporate strategy.

First Pac-12 Series Win on the Line for Arizona

Game 1: Utah 7, Arizona 3 (Final)
» Full Recap » Box Score
The University of Utah baseball team had not hit a home run in any of its first 26 games this season. TJ Bennett ended that drought with an eighth-inning grand slam to key the Utes to a 7-3 victory over visiting Arizona on Friday afternoon at Smith's Ballpark. Bennett's blast spoiled what had been a strong outing for starter James Farris before the eighth inning. Farris took the loss with six runs allowed on six hits and a walk over 7.1 innings. He struck out six, picking up his 200th career strikeout in the second inning. Utah twice fought back from one-run deficits as it snapped its winless streak in conference play.
Game 2: Arizona 6, Utah 1 (Final, 10 Innings)
» Full Recap » Box Score
The University of Arizona baseball team scored five runs in the top of the 10th inning to surge ahead of Utah, before the Wildcats held on for a 6-1 victory that evened the three-game series here Saturday afternoon at Smith's Ballpark. Cody Ramer ripped a run-scoring double to break the 1-1 tie, which had been in place since the third inning. Kenny Meimerstorf later drove in a pair of runs with a double of his own, and Riley Moore added a two-run single to put an exclamation on the five-run extra inning frame. Utah did not go quietly in the home half of the 10th, however, as it loaded the bases with two outs. Cody Moffett, a lefty who relieved Bobby Dalbec (W, 1-2) after consecutive walks, coaxed a soft foul-out to Ramer at third base to end the game and earn a save. Arizona won for the first time in six chances on the road this season after a late lead slipped away Friday night.

There's More to Emerging Markets Than Free Money
Howard Simons
Debunking myths about the relative performance of developing foreign economies.
Can emerging markets keep on emerging forever, or is there some point at which -- like famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil -- they emerge, look around, and re-submerge into the burrow of underperformance, after having left one of the better run-on sentences combined with mixed metaphors yet seen on these pages in their wake?
One of the worst aspects of monetary excess is that it allows the intellectually lazy to blame the Federal Reserve or some other central bank(s) for everything, including higher
food and energy prices
. This crowd has some 'splainin' to do when monetary policy becomes even more excessive and
commodity sub-indices turn lower
as discussed last week.
A similar idea permeates the notion of emerging markets, measured here by the
MSCI-Barra Emerging Market Free Index
(INDEXNYSEGIS:EMX) the underlying asset for the
iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
(NYSEARCA:EEM). This index has underperformed the US market since October 2010 and Japan since April 2011 by 23.5% and 16.5%, respectively, in USD terms. As we economists say, that is a lot.
Were these underperformances a direct function of carry trade unwindings? Not in the least; the excess carry return between the USD and a basket of emerging market currencies weighted as the equity index has been flat since October 2010, while the excess carry return between the JPY and this basket has increased by 12.1% since April 2011. The comparative return maps are presented below.
But Wait! There's More!
Just as Federal Reserve officials return to the counterfactual argument that the world would be a far worse place had it not been for their actions since 2008, defenders of emerging market performance might chime in that things would have been worse off had it not been for the dual yen and dollar carry trades.
Nonsense: Emerging markets managed to outperform the US by 10.0% between September 2005 and November 2007, a period when the US was completing a series of 17 consecutive rate hikes. They outperformed Japan by 32.9% between September 2005 and the beginning of Japan's massive yen-weakening campaign in November 2012.
We thus have a situation where emerging markets outperformed both the US and Japan before aggressive monetary ease, and underperformed both the US and Japan when carry trades were both open and in the Japanese case expanding. There is much more to emerging markets' relative performance than free money and carry trades. That lesson will apply domestically again at some point just as it did between August 2007 and December 2008 when the US first went to a 0% interest rate policy.
No positions in stocks mentioned.

Reviews for Pumpkin Pie Custard
"I absolutely LOVE pumpkin pie, but not the sugar and calories. I was excited to try this recipe, but was disappointed with the bland taste. I didn't change anything in the recipe except substituting the sugar with stevia. Sweetness wasn't the problem. Of course, I could experiment with additional spices, but I'm not too sure it's a keeper. Maybe I'll give it one more try with some adjustments."
"i did not like it"
"This is a great recipe. I often don't like the crust from pumpkin pie - this is perfect! I think its best when its cold!!! It was delightful."
"I love this one! i use splenda instead of the sugar and it still is great. Even my little ones enjoy it!"
"Our family made a commitment to healthy eating over 2 yrs ago. Holidays can be the hardest. My oldest hates pie crust put loves the pumpkin pie filling. So I did a search and so glad I did as these were amazing. The best part of the pumpkin pie at portions we can all eat."

Baltimore hair loss patients can not only restore the hair on the scalp, but they can even restore lost hair from eyebrows and even eyelashes! The actual procedure is identical to the standard hair transplant procedure, but fewer grafts are taken. Typically, a hair transplant for the scalp involves about 2,000 grafts while a hair transplant for the eyelashes and eyebrows only uses about 100-200 grafts. After the eyebrow or eyelash hair transplant, the hair will actually grow like your natural hair! What this means for the patient is that they will have to trim the hair just like the hair on their scalp. However, the results are very natural looking. DC hair loss patients are close to Baltimore and they can benefit from this as well. Visit with your local Maryland hair loss specialist to see if an eyebrow or eyelash hair transplant is right for you!

in dark nights 5, originally uploaded by davidericfoaney.
I ain't been nowhere I wanna go
And it makes me crazy.
Something in me get evil when I hear somebody
Done gone there
And got the nerve to tell me about it.
Face freeze up, my eyes cut and my feet start arguing.
Walk away, nigger…
but I don't.
I just stay and watch his face and listen to him tell me
Where he been and and where else he wanna go.
My feet continue to bicker with me.
Walk away.
This ain't yours.
You know that.
But how come it can't? Why the fuck not?
Instead I nurse loss.
Bite down on it.
Blood come softly.
Filled my mouth, warm.
I lick his teeth and tongue.
Stop it.
Stop the noise is all I want to do.
Spit each word back into his mouth.
Shut him up. Gag him.
Coat his throat. His memory of me. Of it.
Want him to taste the blood.
Memorize its sweetness.
Still, he talking. Not stopping. Laughing even.
No room for my words.
They limp sitting on a bench somewhere
In the dark.
Balloon holding.
Keeping watch for mama.
But fingers can't reach through to that side.
Words wait.
Shuffle their feet.
For first light.
Walk away.

101 Must-Try Tastes
Tina Borgatta and Kristen Schott | Photo: Courtesy of TAPS Fish House & Brewery | January 31, 2014
From little places that serve up big bites to small-plate offerings done right by the big boys, here's the dish on the plates we dream about.
[ 1 ]
Bone Marrow
Riviera dining critic Jamie Gwen had it right when she said, "You'll be emailing and tweeting and Instagramming your friends about [this dish]." Roasted fat from a veal marrow bone is spread upon grilled bread. It's topped by bitter greens and a sprinkling of raisins. So, where will you find it? Little Sparrow.
[ 2 ]
Banana Bread Pudding
It's no surprise why Maro Wood Grill's Executive Chef Debra Sims' sweet concoction nabbed the Most Delicious Dessert honor at the Golden Foodie Awards. It's uberdelicious, with artisan brioche, organic eggs, sugar, Argentinean dulce de leche and vanilla bourbon cream sauce.
[ 3 ]
Salt and Pepper Calamari
Even those who don't like calamari gobble this up. Tender calamari is tossed in a savory batter with salt, pepper and chef Helene An's secret seasonings, then deep fried and served with a Thai basil aioli. It's on AnQi's tapas menu and meant for sharing, but we order one each—it's that good.
[ 4 ]
Pork Osso Bucco
Splashes' fare capitalizes on our coastal bounty, but this is a delish surprise for seafood lovers and landlubbers alike. Pork shank (that's right, pork—not veal) is braised until it's melt-in-your-mouth good, then served in a Parmesan broth with white beans and wilted spinach. It's a clever take on a Milanese favorite.
[ 5 ]
Butcher's Board
This alone is worth a stop at Irvine Spectrum Center—although there are plenty of reasons to love Paul Martin's American Grill. The plate boasts everything from La Quercia prosciutto and coppa to Creminelli salami tartufo to Bellwether Carmody cow's milk cheese and Shaft bleu. Fromage, please!
[ 6 ]
Miso-Marinated Chilean Sea Bass
The pepper jam pushes this entree created by TAPS Fish House & Brewery into the divine category. It's made of red, green and yellow peppers, and it complements the delicate flavors of the sea bass, which is stacked atop a generous helping of sticky rice and sauteed spinach.
[ 7 ]
Nutella and Banana Waffle Sammie
The alfresco waffle-sandwich concept's first spot in Old Towne Orange is always packed with hip kids and foodies alike—and we do mean always. But that stands to reason: Bruxie (which now has shops throughout Orange County) uses authentic Belgian waffles as the base for sweet and savory fillings like our favorite, with Nutella, bananas and sweet cream, all packed between "The Bold Fold."
[ 8 ]
Seafood Skins
For a quick but indulgent bite, we belly up to Captain Jack's bar and order these. Baked potato halves are hollowed out and stuffed with seasoned crab and shrimp, topped with cheese and baked again, then finished with green onion, and served with salsa and ranch dressing. They're messy and marvelous. 562.592.2514

Sichuan Fried Chicken Taco
At Taco Asylum, chef Greg Daniels elevates the street food to gourmet status. Take this ensemble: The chicken is fried in a delectably spicy buttermilk batter, then placed in a housemade tortilla. A creamy five-spice yogurt blankets the meat, and it's completed with a black bean and black garlic puree. Now that's thinking out of the shell!

Avocado Mash
Sometimes simple is best—and SideDoor's mainstay mash is a fine example. Garlic, lime juice, zest, oil and salt are combined with the fruit, then the chunky blend is sprinkled with Maldon sea salt and lemon to bring out the flavors. It's served with pita chips for scooping up the stuff. If you're like us, you'll need a second—or third—helping.

We recently heard from Chris, in Billings, MT. He writes with an unusual, but interesting question:
"My girlfriend doesn't want to go down on me because she says there's too many calories in semen. I want to settle this debate once and for all; are there really calories in semen?"
Some of you might be surprised to hear it, but Chris's girlfriend is actually right - to an extent. However, if her only reason for avoiding oral sex is fear of gaining weight, he may actually have the upper hand in this discussion. In the average amount of ejaculate produced, which is about 1 teaspoon, there are roughly 5 calories; not too bad considering the daily recommended calorie allowance for most adults is 2000. Furthermore, ejaculate also contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, potassium, and vitamin C. Now, for a guy who is looking to get a little more action below the belt, I wouldn't recommend telling a partner that she'll get a boost of vitamin C every time she finishes him off; but if her only concern was fear of calories, then maybe things are looking pretty good for him. On the other hand, if she still seems hesitant to do the deed, this could indicate she has a more serious reason and the calorie thing was just a cover-up. So try not to push it too much. If she still seems hesitant, talk to her about it and figure out what exactly is making her uncomfortable. Good luck!

It has only been a few weeks since the newest Rocksteady game was revealed, Batman: Arkham Knight, and one of the biggest announcements to come out of the initial reveal was that it would not be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Recently, Batman: Arkham Knight producer Dax Ginn talked about why the PS4, Xbox One and PC were the only platforms of choice that Rocksteady could bring this game to, and it was all because of the infamous Batmobile.
"More than that we decided: Batmobile - what do we have to do to make the Batmobile work?Even before we finished Arkham City, Sefton Hill the game director was thinking about this game and we'd always planned to do a trilogy of games so the final piece of the puzzle for us was, how do we wrap all this up as a singular complete ultimate Batman experience and when you think Batman, you think Batmobile.
"It was the one thing we hadn't done. Once we decided we were going to commit to the Batmobile, all these other technical decisions were made for us.
"We knew that we had to do it right – the imagination of the experience of driving the Batmobile that people have is that it's fast, that it's destructive, it's kind of a tank in Gotham City, but it's also highly technical – all of those things can only be done on next-gen, so that was a gameplay decision which drove technical decisions from that point," Ginn said.
It's interesting to note the Batmobile was something they couldn't create on the Xbox 360 and PS3 because any other number of reasons would have been acceptable too.
The PS4 and Xbox One's install base should be quite a bit higher when Batman: Arkham Knight launches later this year, and with that being the case, it makes not bringing the game to Xbox 360 and PS3 a lot less of a risk.
Screenshots we have seen thus far from Batman: Arkham Knight have shown off a gorgeous, dark and wet Gotham City and we can't wait to see more. Batman: Arkham Knight launches on PS4, Xbox One and PC later this year.

15 Days of IVY LEAGUE turning 15! Day 5: Annette & James
Name: Annette 'Nettie' Gevert
Time spent at Ivy league: 7 months (Started April 10, 2012)
Role: National Publicity & Artist Relations Manager
Favourite Ivy League Song: Alpine 'Gasoline'
Favourite Ivy League Album: Deep Sea Arcade 'Outlands'
Favourite Ivy League Memory: The first time I heard The Rubens album at the Ivy League family listening session at REC Studios in Sydney
Name: James Roden from The John Reed Club and The City Lights.Was there from the start, man with The John Reed Club! Then we sold out and went to EMI. Huge Mistake. The John Reed Club broke up. Eventually, I crawled back home to Ivy League, bloodied but unbowed, with The City Lights for two albums.
Role: Legendary Founding Non-Executive Mod-father is probably understating it a bit. I have been an artiste on the label and I have worked for its sister publishing company, Ivy League Music. I have not had to run the label so hats off to the dudes and label managers and staff that have. Congratulations on 15 years!
Favourite Ivy League Song…not your own: Depending on mood: Keep Walking or Be Not A Man by The Mess Hall.
Favourite Ivy League Album… not your own: Hoolahan – King Autumn. Hoolahan's only album. A little bit of nostalgia I admit, as at the time I was obsessed by my own band. But looking back they were some of my favourite gigs – playing with them or just watching the incredible rhythm section with double guitar interplay and vocal harmonies. My brother Harry, who in The City Lights, is their bass player. Dave O on guitar/ vocals and Neil on drums are top blokes and great musicians who need to be made to record a 2nd album. Tim Kevin who recorded our new album is the guitarist & main singer. Wayne Connolly recorded it. Tim's in Wayne's band now – Knievel. It's all a huge mix of overlapping lives. In the opening song "Bells of Yoko" Tim sings about "3 blocks from Judgement*, 2 hours 'til dawn, come home to no-one". If I was a crying man, I would blub. I am stoked lots of us are still putting records out, playing, happy and, more importantly, alive. Oh and Tim sings in the opening song about a "Curse on Everyone" which I stole. Thanks IVY! x

Fourless Peanut Butter CookiesEaten by Elizabeth Halen at 3:38 PM
I've mentioned before the numerous peanut butter lovers in my life. They're easy to please, but I like trying to find the ultimate in peanut butter awesomeness. These were a good effort, but I was hoping for a chewier cookie than I got from this recipe. They were rich and the peanut butter flavor was intense, so if you have as many peanut butter lovers in your life as I do, you may want to give them a try.
1 large egg
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg and sugar until well combined. Add vanilla extract, baking soda, and peanut butter and mix again. When well combined, stir in the chocolate chips.
The mixture will be a bit crumbly, but press together with your finger tips and drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 minutes. Let the cookies cool for two minutes on the cookie sheets, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes about 32 cookies.
Labels: chocolate, cookies, peanut butter

Saturday Morning Mail
Gold Coast jockey Matthew Palmer gave the thumbs up to the Justracing camera after winning Race 6 at Eagle Farm last Saturday aboard Tierqualo. Tierqualo had only won one race since 17/4/10 and that was in a photo at Rosehill on 15/1/11, so Matthew won't get a sore arm if he does this everytime Tierqualo wins.
Trainer Kelly Doughty (far left) was pictured next to her former jockey husband Gary, one happy strapper, one happy jockey and two happy part-owners, after the win of Tierqualo as the $3.30 favourite last Saturday afternoon. The victory was win number six in a 19 start career for Tierqualo and took his prizemoney earnings to $280,300.
Paul Hammersley was happy to be the first Queensland jockey to win a race aboard the enigmatic Victorian Work The Room. Whether the horse has another Brisbane win in him remains to be seen.
There's certainly nothing wrong with the look of the head of Work The Room - as this photo can attest to - but it's good to know that he's at least been gelded, so the girls won't be fighting over the half brother to Zipping.
After yesterday's photos, there were email requests from Russian women wanting a close up of Gary Geran, so as we are merely servants of the people, here we are girls - eat your heart out. Gary Geran has certainly shown up some of the "champion" Brisbane jockeys with his raids in town the last couple of Saturdays, as he's had three winners - Inventory, Tea Tattle and Chandra - from four rides.
Toowoomba based jockey Ronnie Goltz was excited to steer Taisun home - and thus give Toowoomba based trainer Sandy Watkins (also pictured) her first metropolitan winner. Sandy was the right hand person for the late Jim Atkins and I have a one off photo that I took of her one day in Brisbane which I shall share with you.
One day in town, not long before Jim Atkins passed away, I asked Sandy how his health was and she said "not well" - so for her courtesies displayed I just happened to take her photo with this horse - Oscar The Great - which history proved would be Jim's last city runner before he passed away. Upon Jim's passing, Oscar The Great then went to Richie Stephenson.
Apprentice Patrick Keane was photographed after he had ridden a winning treble at Caloundra last Sunday. Patrick won on Scar Tissue (Race 2), Warrior Girl (Race 3) and Little White Horse (Race 7).K-Tel would let you win a free set of steak knives for working out which one of his three winners this is. Looks like Tierqualo from the day before with that headgear.
Apprentice Mitchell Wood celebrated his return to race riding with a win in the last race at Caloundra last Sunday aboard the Len Treloar trained Taira - a 4/1 chance. Mitchell - who they named a Queensland town west of Dalby after - was photographed here with Len Treloar.
Blacks A Fake bows to the crowd one last time at Albion Park before he raced in the Winter Cup last Saturday night.
This is a close up shot of some of the crowd watching intently as Blacks A Fake and Natalie Rasmussen parade for the Winter Cup. To Natalie's right in the blue colours is trainer/driver John McCarthy with Washakie who eventually ran unplaced. No one knew it was to be the horse's last start, or there would have been a lot bigger crowd. (PHOTO ROSS STEVENSON RACING)
Blacks A Fake was pictured airborne when warming up for his Winter Cup assignment last Saturday night. Seven nights earlier he had won the Sunshine Sprint. (PHOTO ROSS STEVENSON RACING)
As the horses approach the finish line in the Winter Cup, Blacks A Fake (purple) is in front but Michael Langdon is getting up underneath the champion pacer with 25/1 chance Georgetown. (PHOTO ROSS STEVENSON RACING)
On the line in the Winter Cup Blacks A Fake (number 3) has to be content with second as Georgetown races on by to win by an ever widening 4.75 metres. Courage To Rule and Tony Herlihy ran third at odds of $29.60 a further neck away. (PHOTO ROSS STEVENSON RACING)
Blacks A Fake's part-owner Trevor Titcombe and his wife Lesley have always been wonderful people to my websites, so I would like to thank them publicly for their support over the time that Blacks A Fake has been racing. This was the affable couple at the 2010 Racing Queensland Harness Awards night.
Also a big thanks goes out to this man - Ross Stevenson - for kindly furnishing this website with photography from Albion Park last Saturday night in respect of Blacks A Fake's last start. This was Ross in a Fashion On The Fields competition, which he didn't win, but he at least kept the opposition honest. I think if he'd have worn dark rimmed glasses - so as to have "the Clark Kent look" - that would have helped. Food for thought.
I was able to find this photo back in my files of a flying fox strung up and dead in a fence at the Mitchell racecourse the last time my besotted bride and I were in town a few years ago. Pity more flying foxes didn't fly into fences - that would help out the Hendra virus situation.
This is a file photo of the Mitchell racetrack home straight. Mitchell was named after a) Mitchell Wood, b) Mitchell Speers or c) explorer Sir Thomas MItchell. The answer is below.
The answer is a) Mitchell Wood. The schools don't want kids growing up to follow gambling entities like racing - so they tell them it's the explorer bloke.
Go Back

As I see it, the Pats strategy of lobbing the ball down the field is not as dependent on the QB as we thought it was. Sure, they've had to make a few adjustments for Cassell, but now that he "gets it," you can see that the attack is a quick throw down the field to a spot, and it makes the corners play good coverage. Because the line can hold a block for a couple of seconds, and the Pats often go shotgun, the only recourse is to blitz, which makes this even more effective.
Anyway, the Pats are running the modern day version of the run-and-shoot, which few teams have the personnel or scheme to defend. And now that Cassell is comfortable, some teams (like Miami) will struggle with it.

I've installed the latest GHC package (6.12.1) on OS X, but I can't get Cabal to work. I've removed the version I had previously that worked with GHC 6.10 and tried to re-install from scratch. The latest Cabal version available for download is 188.8.131.52. However, when I try to build this I get the following error:
Configuring Cabal-188.8.131.52...
Setup: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump'
From what I've found searching, this seems to suggest that the version of Cabal is too old for the version of GHC. Is there any way to get Cabal to work with GHC 6.12.1 yet?
EDIT: To be clear, I'm trying to set-up

Private or Public Clouds? Standards? And the GoogleLapse...
By pelegri on May 15, 2009
Yesterday a portion of Google's network's infrastructure had a Two Hour Failure which impacted an unknown (but sizeable) number of users - see PCWord, InformationWeek, WashingtonPost, Forbes, plus #googlefail@Twitter.
This seems a good reminder of the benefits of a private cloud for mission-critial operations in enterprises... and of the benefits of standards in reducing the cost of exit.

Paperwork has been submitted at City Hall for a project just off Main Street that will encompass a new building and a restored historic one, an important step that follows a year after talk of a redevelopment at the site.
Rory Murphy, the lead developer and a partner in the ownership, wants to build the project at 820 Park Ave., the site of a parking lot and the old building. The location is sometimes referred to as the Rio Grande building, a nod to the location of the building where luggage bags were stored for the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad when it operated at the site. The old building dates to 1897. The overall development site covers approximately one-third of an acre.
Murphy said he wants to put up a new building, three stories tall, with 10 residential units ranging from approximately 700 square feet to upward of 2,500 square feet. The street-level floor of the building would offer commercial space while the residential units would be put in the upper two floors. An underground garage would be built as well.
The rundown Rio Grande building would be restored and turned into a commercial property, Murphy said. He said, perhaps, a café could be opened in the Rio Grande building.
Paperwork filed with the Planning Department indicates the developers could reposition the Rio Grande building toward the northwest of the parcel, allowing them to reconstruct what was a passenger station section of the building and highlight the building as the "primary feature of the property.
The developer is seeking what is known as a conditional-use permit as well as an determination that the project meets City Hall's strict Old Town design guidelines. The Planning Commission must grant a conditional-use permit while staffers are able to make the determination about the design guidelines. The Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled to begin its discussions at a meeting on Aug. 14.
"The market is clearly coming back far more strongly than it has in recent years. So, we are very hopeful, marketwise, that the timing was right for this building," Murphy said.
He said he hopes for a groundbreaking in the spring of 2014.
Murphy said he wants to reach an agreement with the Sweeney family, which has property nearby, allowing the Rio Grande development access to the Town Lift Plaza via a walkway that would be built. Doing so would be expected to increase the value of the Rio Grande units by offering an easier route to Park City Mountain Resort's Town Lift.
The Rio Grande development has been under consideration for more than a year, and Murphy last July outlined much of what was eventually included in the June application to City Hall.
Murphy is a veteran Park City developer who led the efforts to build Silver Star on the edge of Thaynes Canyon and was a key figure at United Park City Mines as that firm secured the approvals for what became Empire Pass. The Silver Star project involved restoring three historic mining-era buildings and four smaller relics from Park City's mining days alongside the new condominiums.

We know that you're a bit disappointed by the fact that Verizon has not rolled-out the HTC Rezound Ice Cream Sandwich update by now, and we are eagerly awaiting that particular moment when we will finally be able to report that the highly-anticipated update has hit the waves, but for now all we can do is inform you about the latest happenings and keep you up to date with what the carrier is planning regarding the matter.
HTC Rezound Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4 ICS)
As you may already know, at the end of June, Big Red announced that Android 4.0 for the Rezound has finally hit the waves. However, something strange happened, the carrier pulled the plug and the roll-out has been halted.
We hoped that Verizon will be able to deploy ICS by the end of June, since it was reported that Android 4 should hit the waves either by the end of June, or the end of July, but things turned to be not exactly as we wished. However, Verizon and HTC are still planning on launching the HTC Rezound Android 4 ICS update on-time (read by the end of July).
Apparently, one concerned HTC Rezound owner has sent an email to Big Red the manufacturer, asking when exactly he'll be able to update his handset. The carrier HTC responded and informed its customer that Android 4 ICS will hit the waves by the end of July, with final pushes happening in August. It is also mentioned that the reason why the company is unable to deploy ICS earlier is due to partner approvals, testing and localization.
We're not sure what to make of this, since we were led to believe that Verizon and HTC already got those things out of the way, but there you have it.
Bottom line is, although Rezound owners might feel a bit disappointed by what the carrier had to say concerning the matter, in case Big Red manages to roll-out the update by the end of July, it would still be on time. But, as usual, earlier rather than later would have been better.
That's about it, stay tuned as we'll keep you up to date as soon as the story develops.
Thanks Droid Life for the heads-up regarding the HTC Rezound Ice Cream Sandwich release date.
