Everyone knows of the infamous phrase: "I'll be back". It is one that is inextricably linked to Arnold Schwarzenegger and his portrayal of a cyborg assassin in the 1984 movie The Terminator.
The thing about Arnold is that his acting skills have never really been very good.
Last week I discovered one of the most interesting and beautiful songs I have heard in a long time. (more…)
Six months. That is how long I have neglected my blog. This was not meant to be the plan for 2012. 2012 was supposed to be the year of the blog for me. Alas, other priorities continuously took preference over sitting down and writing. I want this rut to change, I want to write. All I need to do now is, well, to do it.
I'm back, again.

While it's technically not an actual part of the official roster of Super Bowl 2014 commercials, Newcastle's multi-part documentary starring Anna Kendrick and Keyshawn Johnson in the beer company's failure of trying to make an ad for the big game is a huge, hilarious parody of the whole system.
In his review of 'The Sandlot,' Roger Ebert called the 1993 comedy "the summertime version of 'A Christmas Story.' The venerable critic was certainly onto something there, as both movies take nostalgic looks back at more innocent times and each rely heavily on the talents of its child actor cast.
Phillymag analyzed Rocky's run in 'Rocky II' and deduced that the fighter would have covered 30.61 miles in real life Philadelphia during his training session.

I am working on a project where I need to send variables to a PHP script as a post.
The C# calls a few methods to set string variables which I then need to post to a PHP script so that the PHP script can use the data from the variables.
How can I go about doing this, I have tried google but they all look a bit complex and also how to get the data back from PHP which is difficult to work out where the post start and finishes in the example.
All I need to know is how to post the data to the script and not for the C# to then read what the PHP script has done.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
UPDATE I don't think I have explained myself very well for what I want to achieve.
What the purpose of this is to send data which will be in a string format to a PHP page via a post. I then want to load the script into the users web browser and they will be able to see the php page and when they submit the form from the php page it can use the information from the post that was sent to it.
Below is a step by step of what will happen
- User presses button in C# Program
- C# program sets string variables
- C# sends a post to a PHP page
- The same php page is loaded in the users browser
- When the page loads it will process the post data from c# into variables so the data can be used
- User submits form and the processed post data is used along with the form post data
Hope this makes a bit more sense, that's why I was saying I didn't want C# to return what the PHP script was doing as the user needs to be able to work with the php page.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
From the author of In Pursuit of the Green Lion comes a novel set in 17th-century Paris and Versailles, tinged with the occult and a feminist sensibility. The younger daughter of a loveless marriage between a scholar and a woman of high breeding, Genevieve Pasquier appears to have few prospects, since she was born with a deformed leg. Taught Latin by her father, however, she has a keen intelligence that stands her in good stead when, after leaving home as a teenager, she is adopted by a wealthy fortune-teller as her protegee. Genevieve has the gift of seeing the future in water, a talent that Catherine Montvoison, a real-life figure who was both a seer and an undercover abortionist to the aristocracy, quickly exploits. Played out against the background of Louis XIV's court, the narrative offers ample glances into the lives of the nobility, as well as intrigue and a love triangle involving Genevieve, an outlaw and a society playwright. Unfortunately, the author's impressive knowledge of the time is offset by wooden characterization and predictable plotting, and her story never quite breaks the bounds of competent genre fiction. Toward the climax, scenes of torture, witch-hunts and executions will satisfy those who like their historical fiction laced with a touch of horror; for readers who enjoy an exotic setting with a celebrity slant, the novel offers an intriguing vacation read.

From School Library Journal
YA-Genevieve Pasquier is an educated, skinny, crooked-backed 15-year-old when her beloved father dies. After her uncle rapes her, she runs away, desiring only to end her pain by drowning herself. Instead, she is taken in by La Voisin, a wealthy fortune-teller, abortionist, and chemist who rules the seamier side of 17th-century Paris. La Voisin sets her up in her own business disguised as "Madame de Morville," an 150-year-old seeress who interprets images that appear in an oracle glass. This profitable venture throws young Genevieve into a world of court intrigue, political back-stabbing, demonology, and revenge, and she discovers that she enjoys the independence denied to most women of the time. When she is invited to the palace to read the waters for Louis XIV, she slides from favor and is suspected of participating in a poisoning ring. In a desperate race against time, she must rely on her own wits and on a man she loves to save herself. Mature YAs will relish her development from a weak and naive child to a witty and powerful woman who manipulates degenerate, superstitious Parisian society to her own advantage.

As an historian, I am always impressed by Riley's ability to recreate the feeling of a period. The Oracle Glass does a wonderful job of re-creating the world of seventeenth-century Paris where magic and science were uneasy bedfellows.
The story focuses on Genevieve, a young girl who pretends to be an aged crone (very aged---she admits to being well over a 100!). Genevieve works for the famed witch, Catherine Montvoisin but she is also a follower of the new philosophy (science).
Underneath the persona of an aged wise woman and fortune teller, Genevieve remains a young girl. And like all young girls, she is in love---first with a conceited fop and then, finally (!) with a man who is her intellectual equal and who loves her more than he loves himself.
This is the kind of book which you will love to read late at night (preferably a cold winter's night). There is a touch of the supernatural in the story---but it is Riley's mastry of the romance novel which really makes this book great reading for late at night!
The problems start coming in about halfway through the book. The plot, which had been hurtling along at a brisk pace, grinds to a halt. The characters start to get into a fixed routine that rapidly becomes stale, and all the suspense evaporates. In fact, Genevieve predicts the ending of the book several times throughout the story, so there's no fear of her being killed or even emotionally hurt.
Emotional scenes need work--they have all the plausibility of a B-movie performance. I got the impression that the author has an intellectual understanding of such scenes, without a true grasp of the feeling behind them. As a result, romance is a crutch rather than a highlight of this book. The same holds true for some of the characters--they are intellectual constructs of a certain character type rather than psychologically complex people.
It's also a pity that the court intrigue, so often hyped in the first half of the book, is really not as complex and vivid as it could have been. Perhaps what really irked me about this book is that with such a great setting, the plot had enormous potential, but instead just peters out. It is worth reading to get a feel for the period, and it's fun in its way. I would recommend it to fantasy fans in need of pure escapism, with Riley as a sort of fantasy counterpart to Danielle Steel. If you come to it expecting to have fun and nothing more, you probably won't be disappointed.
I was apprehensive about reading "The Oracle Glass" because I have not read anything by this writer before. I got hooked after reading the book jacket because the time of Louis XIV is my favorite period in French history. I have read many books about the real-life characters in this novel, but never were they more hilariously, and accurately!, portrayed than in "The Oracle Glass"!
The main character, Genivieve Pasquier, is refreshing. She is not just very intelligent and well-educated, but clever, witty, and has a dramatic flair. The author takes a chance on making her beauty unconventional. Genivieve has one foot shorter than the other, she is all twisted, and has uncommon, non-classical, features. After the famous sorceress, La Voisin, takes Genivieve under her wing, she does not change her appearance but changes the way people look at Genivieve. I thought that this part was very well thought out. It proves that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and a person is deemed beautiful when they let their inner radiance shine. The fact that she is able to dupe everyone to believe that she is the Marquise de Morville, a 150-year old woman who maintains her youth, is a great lesson in human nature. I also appreciate the fact that she is an independent woman, trying to make a living in a man's world, and succeeding admirably.Read more ›

Do-it-yourself projects and plans for anyone who can swing a hammer.
By Lindsey Siegele
Food Dehydrating, Do It Yourself
A solar food dehydrator is the perfect option for preserving produce while saving energy. At MOTHER EARTH NEWS, we love the idea of eating locally-grown fruits and vegetables year round, and food drying is a great way to make that happen. If you think finding or building a food dehydrator will be a chore, the Do-It-Yourself archives have a surprise for you: A Solar Food Dryer from Cardboard Boxes.
In 1981, this project was touted for its impressive price tag: less than $1! If you choose to make your own food dehydrator following these instructions today, we can't guarantee that same price, but if you already have some of these materials lying around (such as cardboard boxes, tape or paint), you might get pretty darn close.
Now is the time to take advantage of the sun's rays. Having delicious produce throughout the winter will be worth the effort.
For more information about preserving food — from canning to freezing — read Eat Locally Grown Food All Year.

Ahead of car buying, make sure your vehicle's funding is taken care of. See your neighborhood banking institution or lending institution to do this. You might even get yourself a lower monthly interest and you may know whatever you can manage.

They will often just have owned and operated the vehicle for a while or bought it from an sale. They really have very little expertise in the automobile you are attempting to get.
By no means search for a vehicle according to what you would like to pay regular monthly. Most vehicle dealers will endeavour to assist you to shop around a monthly payment. This simply means they may put you in a car which is not what you want by letting you know it can be what you could manage. The only person who is the winner is the dealership.

This can allow time for your personal mental bond to reduce leading you to able to discuss the most effective conditions and value.
Credit is usually cheaper when you get it from an institution aside from the dealership them selves. The costs they have aren't excellent, but they're often ready to accept financing serious cash whenever your credit score is terrible, contrary to a bank. Take a look at all of your current funding alternatives and discover simply how much you'll be accredited for before you method the lot.
Check with the salesman difficult, comprehensive questions about the auto. Compose a list before you go depending on internet investigation so that you know the solutions. Once they get any wrong, you already know you're handling an novice, knowledge inadequate sales team, which reveals a minimal-good quality car dealership is in position.
In relation to buying a automobile, no matter if new or pre-owned, you need to beef up on your negotiation capabilities. Cars are intentionally designated up as the retailers recognize that a negotiation have to take position. So be sure to Never ever pay sticker value for your personal vehicle and when you can't haggle, get somebody to accomplish it amortization schedule for car loan - http://konannavi.org/wiki/index.php?title=Steps_You_Need_To_Understand_W... you.

I can't find the recipe, either! I agree, it's not frugal to buy the pre-cut chicken or the seasoning mix, but the whole nature of the recipe is "shortcut" so I guess allowances have to be made, and it's our option to use the recipe or not.
Where is the darn recipe??????
Great quick fajita recipe-great flour tortilla tip to soften them. I made this easy recipe, and they were a hit!

KDevelop can create new files from templates. When creating a new C++ class it is possible to select a license header that will be added to the newly created file.
It also allows to input custom text and then save this for use in future files. I created a new license header and saved it so I can now use it in all my newly created files.
However, I made a typo in the license header and it now shows up every time I create a new file. Is there a way to edit the saved license headers? If not via KDevelop itself, can they be edited on the file system? Where are they stored?

I presume you mean advice about linux for the inexperienced?
Here are a couple of commands you can't live without.
1) Apropos
Want to know the command for something, copy for example.
Type apropos copy in a terminal and it will list what's appropriate.
2) man
Manual pages. A little difficult to read sometimes, but they tell you about a command and all its options.
Type man cp in a terminal and you'll see how to copy files.
As for advice about these forums, search first before asking about a problem. Whatever solution you seek may already be here.
And above all, have fun. :-)

i'll definitely agree to this
i dropped windows 6 months ago. i think i dual booted for a week, but in that week span i think i went into windows once and found out it was hosed. i figured since windows is hosed now, i would just reinstall and take over the whole hard drive since it was fresh and i didnt have much saved/downloaded. ive learned a lot, but there is still more to learn. ive had a lot of fun doing this and since ive found ubuntu and this forum, ive learned a lot and will keep on going.

The food is Americanized Asian mishmash, with good salads and seafood. An organic green salad with walnuts and creamy gorgonzola is large, tasty and simple in a good way. The wood grilled trout with lobster sauce is pure joy to eat. Even better is the ahi tuna salad, available as both entrée and appetizer sized, which consists of slices of seared fish atop a pile of seaweed and salad greens, with pickled ginger, wasabi and green sesame seeds.

"Volume again changed?!?!"
Reviewer: -ricodol
Review Date: 2016-03-26
Pros: None
Cons: - Another volume change, now from 200% to 150% - Sound distortions on 150% , this was not with 200%
Other Thoughts: Why have they changed the volume (again) in this (new) version 18.104.22.1683 from 200% to 150%
first it went up from 100% to 200%, which i liked very much, but in this version they changed the volume down to 150%, resulting in to low sounds and where i had no sound distortions on 200% i now do have sound distortions on 150% and in orde to not have sound distorion i need to put my volume dowm to 100%... seriously thinking now to switch to VLC player

Theories of diagrams and diagrammatic reasoning typically seek to account for either the formal semantics of diagrams, or for the advantages which diagrammatic representations hold for the reasoner over other forms of representation. Regrettably, almost no theory exists which accounts for both of these issues together, nor how they affect one another. We do not attempt to provide such an account here. We do, however, seek to lay out larger context than is generally used for examining the processes of using diagrams in reasoning or communication. A context in which detailed studies of sub-problems, such as the formal semantics or cognitive impact of specific diagrammatic systems, may be embedded.
Accounts of the embedding of sentential logics in the computational processes of reasoners and communicators are relatively well developed from several decades of research in AI. Analogies between the sentential and the graphical cases are quite revealing about both similarities and differences. To provide a structure for the 'grand context' of diagrammatic representation and reasoning, and to clarify the relations between its component problems, we examine carefully these analogies and the decomposition they provide of subproblems for analysing diagrammatic reasoning.

The militant Lebanese Islamist group Fatah al Islam vowed in a statement released Tuesday not to remain silent in face of what it considered were intentional attacks against Sunnis in Lebanon. "We will defend our people in this country and cut the heads of those who try to make them lower their heads, even if this costs us lives and bloodshed," says the statement.
The statement attacks the militant Shiite group Hezbullah as well as the Lebanese Future Party, which it accuses of being an "agent of the Americans." The group argues that the Future Party, which is led by Saad al Hariri, does not represent Lebanese Sunnis and holds it responsible for "killing our brothers and destroying a full refugee camp."
As for Hezbullah, the statement says claims that the Beirut attacks were in reaction to the governments moves against the group are lies. The statement says the intention is to weaken Sunnis in Lebanon and keep them divided.
The group also refutes claims by former parliament member Nasser Qandil about member of Fatah al Islam blocking roads to the factory. The statement refers to Qandil as the "mouthpiece" of Hezbullah and argues the intent of his statements is to justify an attack against the Sunnis in this area.

Read an Excerpt
Fish and Chips
I first tasted this classic fried fish and french fry combination on my first trip to England, where it was served in a brown paper cone, sprinkled with malt vinegar. You can use a variety of fish, such as halibut, striped bass, perch, catfish, or orange roughy, instead of the cod While it is possible to use frozen french fries, this dish of fish and chips warrants making freshly made french fried potatoes. When frying fish and potatoes, the oil should always be at 375°F.
Makes 4 servings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces flat beer
1 1/2 pounds cod or halibut fillets, cut 3/4 to 1 inch thick
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated onion
Oil for frying
4 medium baking potatoes (6 ounces each), about 4 inches long
Malt vinegar or lemon wedges
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, and pepper. Remove 1/2 cup
- of the seasoned flour and place on a sheet of wax paper.
- Whisk the beer into the seasoned flour in the bowl and let stand at room temperature 1 hour, The batter will be thin.
- Cut the fish into 3/4-inch-wide pieces. In a shallow dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer, combine the lemon juice with the onion. Place the fish sticks in the lemon mixture and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Pour 1 1/2 inches of oil into a deep fryer. Heat to 375°F.
- While the oil is heating, peel the potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch sticks. Pat the potatoes with paper towels until thoroughly dry. Place one-third of the potatoes in the fryerbasket and gradually lower into the hot oil. The oil will bubble up slightly, so be careful. Fry the potatoes until just tender but not brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. The potatoes should yield slightly when pressed with your finger. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- Dredge the fish in the reserved seasoned flour. Coat I piece of fish at a time with the beer batter. Lift the fish out of the batter with tongs or a slotted metal spoon; let the excess batter drip back into the bowl. if the batter is sliding off the fish, whisk in an additional tablespoon of flour. Place the fish in the hot oil and fry, 4 pieces at a time, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Shake the fryer basket at the beginning of the frying time to prevent the fish from sticking to the basket. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying the remaining fish.
- Return half of the potatoes to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying the remaining potatoes. Serve the fish and chips drizzled with malt vinegar or lemon wedges to squeeze over.
Baking Powder Pastry
Makes enough pastry for 16 fried apple pies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut up
6 tablespoons ice water
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Sprinkle the pastry with the ice water. Stir with a fork until moistened. Gather the pastry into a ball.The Best Fryer Cookbook Ever. Copyright © by Phyllis Kohn. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.

James , what is your price target on PNC for 2014 ? I see that they had good earnings.
You mention that it is under valued by 40% --- So, $110- $112 ???
Hey cronjms
All right I think PNC is still undervalued by 40% or so. A quick way to value banks is take their Return on tangible equity .PNC's I calculate in 2014 will be 15%. (I exclude core deposit amortization of $200M) and going forward I calculate PNC"s ROTE will be around 17%.
Return on tangible equity is net income / beginning tangible equity. I use beginning equity since it plugs into my model better. Average is technically more precise but beginning works perfectly.
Anyways here is my quick formula.
Take tangible equity so PNC 28 billion
Multiiply that by (Return on tangible equity / discount rate) So PNC average about 16. I calculate their discount rate to be around 7.5% based on their preferred share payments and stock market experience.
So 16/7.5 multiply that by 28 billion so that is 60 billion.
Then an advanced part is to adjust based on the payout ratio. IE if you can return 16% a year and payout $0 in dividends and continuously grow at 16% than you're more attractive than if you can grow at 16% but you pay 100% in dividends.
So I would set the base level for the banking industry is like 70%.
However multiply the $60B by 5% at 60%, 10% at 50% payout, 15% at 40% etc And do the opposite going down.
So this is a quick way to do my more advanced banking formula but it will get similar results to my formula.
So USB for instance had tangible equity last quarter of $26 B (3Q) Common shareholders earned $1,389 this quarter or (1389 X 4 5,556 and 5,5556/ 26000 = a return on tangible equity of 21%.
So multiply their tangible equity by 26 X (21% /7.5% discount rate) which equals 72.8 B then reduce it by 5% for each amount their payout ratio is over 70% so about 15%.
So I think USB's intrinsic value quickly calculated is 62 B.
However the market is less advanced than me and doesn't penalize USB for their inability to grow over time. In the year 2000 I think WFC and USB were the same size now WFC is like 6 times bigger. USB banks for metrics
When did I mention that? I am still going through the Q4 earnings report. For COF I think its worth $95-$100 so probably a better deal after PNC has gone up 7% from earnings. However I haven't yet figured out how PNC will do next year in terms of non interest income and expense. I should be done that tonight or tomorrow.
