Discussion (16) ¬
Moon Shadow eh? My wife and I had Hardheaded Woman sung at our wedding.
Beautiful page.
It's good to see Tula at least somewhat restored. I'll be interested in seeing how this plays out.
I'm hoping that after the resistance training of being in the city for all this time, Tula will find her powers somewhat augmented.
Hey everyone. First round of voting is underway. Zona is up against another comic called Blaster Nation fro this first elimination:
• http://www.comicmix.com/2015/03/25/mix-march-madness-2015-webcomics-tournament-round-1-vote-now/
Current score is Zona: 17, Blaster Nation: 33, which is neck-and-neck as far as this competition goes.
I think you know what to do ….. Vote for all of your favorites, and let's see how many elimination rounds we can get Zona through.
GO!! Team Zona!! ZONA HAI !!!!
Curious. I just voted and Zona still stands at 17 to 33. (And yes, I did vote for the Challenges of Zona.)
Also, I voted for a really sweet comic that I only recently discovered through Grrl Power, Think Before You Think : http://thinkbeforeyouthink.net/
The graphics may put you off, but try to hang on to the story. It really is sweet, almost as much as here.
They don't actually update the stats that often, let alone 'live'. What you're looking at is a snapshot from an undisclosed time and date. The graph towards the bottom ends at something like 3:30 AM 3/28/15 (UT), which may be the record point.
Thanks for clarifying that, brother.
Ah, Tula… No, I'm not in love with her (or with any other characters of this comic, no, nope, nein, at all).
JED, I follow your reasons, EVERYWHERE!!
I predict many feels are coming in the future.
Zona's gone "Terminator." She's referring to Tula as "Tula1." Either that, or there's a bunch of Tulas running around that we can't see right now. Maybe Zona's had a bit too much of the local brew and is screwing up her speech a little. Yeah, that's a plausible explanation, except that Zona's alcohol tolerance, as an Erogenian is insanely high by California standards.
… I had something to say when we got back on the main storyline. I will have to say it.
For now, though, I will read the page first.
Sorry for going off for hours, the time came to go fetch my daughter at Sunday school and play guitar for the kids' singing canticles.
Last archive-diving that I did (or maybe the previous one – hard to tell after the two hundred first pages) I was struck by how Mentl decided to go back to his birth world. We all remember the meeting with Ipola, Serrin and Karna that convinces him Zona does not truly love him but is, unbeknownst to both of them, under a spell of his. This is a classic tragedy scene as each and every one of the persons involved act in good faith and good will towards everyone else, and still things end badly. (If you really need to look it up, http://barbarianprincess.com/?comic=page-386 .)
Still, two other items conspire to make Mentl's decision so radical, and those two look quite shadier to me. First, Vito unsettles him a little during his night with Zona in the fortress of the Moon Tribe: http://barbarianprincess.com/?comic=page-367 , which is right before the fateful meeting referred to above. Next, when Mentl reacts to said meeting in his room, and with considerable anger, the book nudges him to activity : http://barbarianprincess.com/?comic=page-394 . Its light does not reach Mentl until after he has stopped raging, so it does not seem to be a function of his mental state.
All this makes me a little bit wary about Vito's intentions, not to mention the book's. Sending Mentl back to San Bernardino was more or less certain to bring Zona along. For what expected result? Hard to say. It could be as innocuous (on Vito's behalf, at least) as giving Mentl a full year to prepare (cf. http://barbarianprincess.com/?comic=page-680 and the ones after), but Mentl could have found the exercise book that really helped in Tula's library and he already had the drive to practice.
So aside from more time I fail to see how it benefited Mentl to go away in fury when he could have gone more peaceably. The book may be too powerful for even us to do anything about it, but I feel we may have to watch it in the future.

Pelicans' Anthony Davis leaves game with sprained shoulder (VIDEO)
Feb 26, 2014, 11:15 PM EDT
It doesn't look that severe or harsh as it happens, but New Orleans' face-of-the-franchise young big man Anthony Davis sprained his left shoulder with 4:13 left in the first half of the Pelicans loss Wednesday night to Dallas.
He did not return for the second half. The team described it as a sprain. He was going for a rebound against Samuel Dalembert when it happened and while the video doesn't show anything dramatic it clearly was enough to injure Davis.
How severely? Nobody is sure yet.
Hopefully it is nothing serious but you can bet the Pelicans will be very cautious here — Anthony is the future, a No. 1 level star that is a franchise cornerstone for years to come and there is nothing left to play for this season.
(Hat tip to Eye on Basketball for finding video)

Oh boy. The injury prone label cometh.
- jbink2585 - Feb 26, 2014 at 11:29 PM
PELICANS realizing they are closer to tank then playoffs if this injury even somewhat serious they will hold him out and try to make a run for the top5 pick bc if its 6 or higher its the sixers, we shall see. IM SIXERS FAN so if we get top 3 pick with our record then a 6-10 from pelicans that's a beautifull thing.

- ryanrockzzz - Feb 27, 2014 at 8:14 AM
I don't think his injuries have had anything to do with his weight. He has increased his strength from last year to this year. More freaky injuries. Hopefully he can stay healthy, becuase you're right- he's a beast.

Of course there will be a transition period, but when computer guided actors playing lawyers in court rooms win significantly more cases than real lawyers, and computers are better at judging than judges, people will treat them as the obsolete guild they are. The survivors will be lawyers that understands computing.

Supermicro X9DR7-TF+ (Intel C602J) Server Motherboard Review - UnixBench 5.1.3
UnixBench 5.1.3
UnixBench has been around for a long time now and is a good general-purpose bench to test on Linux systems.
This is a system benchmark and it shows the performance of single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks.
This shows the system indexes after a complete UnixBench run. Here, we get an idea of how much performance gain we get using multi-threaded applications. However, many applications use single threads, so this number is really the base, and a higher clock speed will increase both indexes.
In UnixBench, we can see a very clear winner in the multi-threaded tests.
The single-threaded test shows the performance of a single thread. With these types of tests, CPU architecture and speed are the basis of the score. A higher clock speed will increase these scores and have a greater impact on the results.
In the single-threaded test, the Dhrystone test is the clear leader, showing a very nice increase in the score.
The multi-threaded test uses all 32 threads of the Intel Xeon E5-2670s. In this test, more cores/threads will have a greater impact on the results.
Again, we see the Dhrystone test taking the lead with a nice increase in the score. All other tests here were very close, so the Dhrystone test has the biggest impact on the final score index.

Pittsburgh City Council approves bill to embarrass scofflaw property owners
Owners of the most dilapidated properties in Pittsburgh will see their names and addresses on signs in front of their buildings under legislation that City Council approved on Tuesday.
Sponsored by Councilman Bill Peduto, the bill passed 7-1, with Ricky Burgess dissenting. Patrick Dowd was absent.
Under the bill, the Bureau of Building Inspection will develop a list of the 10 worst offenders based on citations and convictions for building code violations. The Department of Public Works would erect signs featuring owners' names, addresses and telephone numbers in public rights of way near their properties. If they live in Pittsburgh, the signs will go up in front of their homes.
Burgess said singling out dilapidated properties in poor neighborhoods would embarrass people who have no choice but to rent from scofflaw landlords.
The legislation goes to Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who previously said he would consider supporting it.

Use of telemedicine surges at UPMC
- Kris B. Mamula
- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter
UPMC is experiencing a growth spurt in telemedicine as the hospital network expands use of the technology to consumers seeking urgent care or consultation with a doctor or nurse.
Telemedicine is shaping up to be the next big thing in health care and UPMC is establishing a beachhead in the new model of care, increasing the number of patient visits by 49 percent to 10,000 visits in 2013 when compared to 2012. In addition, UPMC has dramatically reduced unnecessary hospital readmissions through the use of remote monitoring, said Dr. Andrew Watson, a colorectal surgeon and medical director of UPMC's Center for Connected Medicine.
"The model is really exciting because it means patients don't have to go to the emergency room," Watson said. "Most important, for a system like UPMC, this is a care coordination tool, an access to health care tool."
In early results using live video interactive monitoring, hospital readmissions for patients with congestive heart failure were reduced to just 5 percent when coupled with visiting nurse care compared to 28 percent without the electronic monitoring. In addition, UPMC is expanding the number of employers served with on-site medical clinics, which electronically link employees at the jobsite to a treating physician.

Regulators eyeing deals like one between TCF Bank and U of M
- Jim Hammerand
- Digital editor- Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
Federal regulators are examining lucrative relationships between banks and universities like the one between TCF Bank and the University of Minnesota, according to an ABC News investigation.
The Consumer Financial Protection Agency, created in the wake of the financial crisis, is looking into university deals with big banks that will pay millions of dollars for exclusive access to student customers, the news network reported.
Wayzata-based TCF Bank for example, pays the University of Minnesota more than $1 million per year for help recruiting students as customers, paying $34 bounties for each new student account.
The deal brings extra revenue to the U as well as TCF, which turns student IDs into bank cards and charges fees when students spend more than is in their accounts. The bank has described its campus business as small but "very profitable."
Students might be able to find better banking options elsewhere, but ABC News reported that 85 percent of incoming freshmen sign up with the University of Minnesota's "official bank."
The university and bank defended the deal, saying the arrangement doesn't hurt students. (ABC News posted TCF Bank's statement and the University of Minnesota's statement.)
The CFPB is looking into hundreds of similar arrangements. In many cases, ABC News said, parents and students aren't told that banks have bought exclusive rights to the campus.
The arrangements show that the schools have "shopped for the best deal for the university, not for their students," U.S. Rep. George Miller, the ranking Democrat on the House Education Committee, told ABC News.
ABC News describes what the relationship looks like on campus (but doesn't mention the TCF Bank Stadium deal, which extended the bank's campus business beyond 2013):

American Culture and the Achievement Gap
What is an "achievement gap?" The achievement gap on which this article focuses is the academic achievement gap between African-American and Caucasian students in American schools. It seems that even when the parents of African-American children have university degrees, their children still have lower test scores than the children of Caucasian parents with college degrees. This holds true at all levels of parental education. Why? While there are a myriad of reasons for the academic achievement gap between races, including institutionalized racism, low teacher expectations, poor schools, limited experiential backgrounds, etc., this article focuses on American culture and the "dumbing" of America as one often overlooked reason.
There is an overall American attitude that stupidity is "cute," "cool," and trendy. Witness the appalling lack of knowledge on the part of Paris Hilton during a court proceeding, in which she was asked a question about "Great Britain" and obviously did not know that England is part of Great Britain. (It had to be explained to her, after which, she pouted and rolled her eyes.) When a rich, pampered, role model socialite from one of the wealthiest families in America exhibits such ignorance, after a presumably excellent education in private schools, is it any wonder that other young people don't worry about getting a good education and using it? They look at what she has and how stupid she acts and think they don't need "smarts" to become rich and successful!

The biggest GAP we face in praying for todays church is the discrepancy between the Bible version of WHO the Body of Christ is and the common everyday kind of culturally accepted church found on so many street corners in the civilized world. Unless we know the Word of God to some degree we struggle to know what any of the real "gaps" in prayer really are or how to ask Him to bridge them. This episode centers around the need to let God define our spiritual boundaries by taking responsibility to be more watchful while we pray. Developing our awareness through purposeful spiritual growth is the key. True discernment comes from learning to let the Lord develop our lives and qualify us for the ministry needs He has called us to meet. If you want to get serious about letting God use you to be a builder inHis church this program is for you!

'Ingenious' fraudster facing jail AGAIN after he escaped Wandsworth prison by telling wardens he had been released on bail
Published: 09 October 2012
One of London's most successful business leaders told how an "incredible" apprenticeship turned his life around after a "childhood from hell" left him with little hope for the future.
Mike Tobin, chief executive of £2 billion data networks group Telecity, found his escape route from East End poverty through a chance application for a Youth Training Scheme place after leaving school at the first opportunity, aged 16. It led to an apprenticeship with a maker of robotic systems for factories that set Mr Tobin on the route to the top of his industry.
His life-changing experience has led Mr Tobin, 48, to throw his full support behind the Standard's Ladder for London campaign to help the capital's young jobless and Telecity has now pledged to take on its first apprentice under the initiative. So far more than 700 London companies have responded to the Standard's appeal, with 150 apprenticeships confirmed and hundreds more in the pipeline.
Mr Tobin said he was living proof of the benefits an apprenticeship can bring: "What I gained was the confidence to apply for that first job. Before that I didn't think I was clever enough to do A-levels, let alone a degree."
He had known little more than deprivation and disruption in his early years. He fled with his mother to Rhodesia aged seven to escape his abusive father, only to be bullied and beaten at school there.
They moved again — this time to apartheid era South Africa — when he was 11. But their home was attacked by a mob brandishing petrol bombs and guns and the daily violence made them return to London penniless, "with literally just the shirts on our backs".
They lived for two years in a squat in Stockwell, making a few pounds to live on by selling pianos abandoned in condemned terrace houses in the East End. Mr Tobin was only rarely going to school because he was being beaten up.
But the four-year apprenticeship with Allen-Bradley in Milton Keynes changed everything. As well as training him in areas as diverse as accounts and panel beating the company put Mr Tobin through college, where he gained an HND qualification in electrical and electronic engineering.
He describes the apprenticeship as an "incredible" experience that taught him advanced skills such as repairing robot circuit boards. He was earning £16 a week but was already training people far more senior than himself.His desperation to escape his former life meant that he "commuted" seven miles to work by roller-skating alongside the A5 dual carriageway to put in a 6am to 9pm day during the week, and 7am to 7pm at weekends.
After his apprenticeship Mr Tobin joined a French maker of electrical vehicles called Goupil, based in Putney. The confidence and skills he had picked up meant that when the managing director had to retire early because of a heart attack he was appointed his replacement — aged 23.
Now, as the £1.5 million-a-year boss of a company in the FTSE-250 index of British businesses, he looks back and says: "An apprenticeship isn't everything ... you can't make the horse drink the water but you can at least give it the opportunity to find the water. If it hadn't been for that apprenticeship I would probably be sweeping the streets."
How our campaign works
Taking on apprentices is simple. You would:
- Be provided with a shortlist of suitable candidates to interview.
- Take on each apprentice for one year (if you can only manage part of a year, City Gateway will "buddy you up" with another employer).
- Have them work for you for at least 30 hours a week.
- Release them for one day a week to complete their NVQ Intermediate or Advanced training.
- Be provided with ongoing support by City Gateway.
Is there a sweetener?
The Government may give you a £1,500 grant, provided that you have 1,000 employees or fewer and have not taken on an apprentice in the last year. City Gateway will do all the paperwork to make it easy.
What will it cost you?
You are required to pay the national apprentice wage of £2.65 an hour, although we encourage the London living wage of £8.30 or the national minimum wage of £6.19. You can employ an apprentice directly from City Gateway, or City Gateway can pay the apprentice and invoice you.
The annual pre-tax cost per apprentice, if you are eligible for the £1,500 grant, is approximately: £2,630 at pay of £2.65/hr; £8,150 at pay of £6.19/hr; £11,450 at pay of £8.30/hr.

MIAMI — LeBron James caught the inbounds pass, changed direction and immediately attacked the rim.
There was no one in his way.
There was no stopping him, either.
James made a layup as time expired in overtime, capping a 30-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist effort as the Miami Heat found a way to outlast the Indiana Pacers 103-102 in a wildly back-and-forth Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night. There were 18 ties and 17 lead changes, the last two of those coming in the final 2.2 seconds.

"Two teams fought hard," James said. "We were able to make one more play."
If this is how this series is going to go, then get ready for a classic between teams that absolutely wanted to face the other with a trip to the NBA Finals on the line.
Paul George saved the Pacers at the end of regulation with a 32-footer with 0.7 seconds left, and then made three free throws with 2.2 ticks left in overtime to give Indiana a one-point lead. George pumped his fist gently after the third free throw, then extended his index finger skyward as the teams retreated to their benches to get ready for the final play.
He just left James too much time, and the Pacers left their best shot-blocking option on the bench. Roy Hibbert wasn't on the floor for the final play, and without a 7-foot-2 barrier to contest him, James made the winner look easy.
"Two great teams just throwing punch for punch," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "Our spirit is very high, very confident. We know we can play with this basketball team."
Vogel said he left Hibbert off the floor for the final play out of concern of what defending champion Miami would do with Chris Bosh in that scenario.
Game 2 is Friday night in Miami.
• San Antonio point guard Tony Parker plans to have an MRI on Thursday on his troublesome left calf, although he doesn't expect to miss any playing time in the Western Conference finals.

Team Jacob: Kristen Stewart parties with Robert Pattinson's onscreen love rival Taylor Lautner as she awaits his return from Australia
She's said to be 'waiting patiently' for her on/off boyfriend Robert Pattinson to return from working in Australia, anxious about the state of their relationship.
So to make the time go by faster Kristen Stewart has been hanging out with Rob's onscreen enemy Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black in the Twilight saga.
Opting to be Team Jacob for the night, the 22-year-old headed out in Hollywood with the hunky star, wearing matching backwards caps, on Tuesday to enjoy an evening at legendary club Troubadour.
Hanging out: Kristen was seen enjoying a night out with Taylor Lautner in Hollywood on Tuesday
Taking her mind off her love problems the actress was surrounded by her friends and the werewolf impersonator as they entered the venue.
Dressed in her usual kooky casual style, the 22-year-old stepped out in high waisted jeans with turn ups and a grey T-shirt.
She wore her baseball cap worn backwards with barely any make-up on, while her hair was left down and dishevelled.
Night out: She let her hair down by heading to legendary club Troubadour with her gaggle of pals
Join the club: Both of the Twilight stars wore their caps backwards on their heads, while their outfits were also similar
Not far behind came 21-year-old Taylor who was dressed very similarly in a pair of black trousers, a black V-neck T-shirt and a backwards cap, which seems to be obligatory for their group of pals.
The On The Road star was also joined by her side by one protective pal, who wore a beanie hat and jeans as she ushered her friend through the doors.
Keeping her head ducked down Kristen arrived in a car packed full of her friends ready to enjoy the entertainment inside, all dressed in their own kooky styles.
But clearly not in the mood to be noticed, the girls looked miserable as they entered, with one even flipping the bird at passersby.
Dark and moody: Taylor looked brooding in his all black outfit as he made his way into the venue to spend time with Kristen
Letting her hair down: The girls arrived together in a car as they continue to support their pal, who is said to be anxious about her relationship with Robert
It could be that Kristen is in a down mood at the moment as Robert continues to stay in Australia, where he is filming movie The Rover based in the outback Down Under.
Reports claim the pair split up once again before he left for a trial separation after failing to get back on track following revelations of Kristen's affair with director Rupert Sanders last year.
And she is said to be worried as Robert reportedly hasn't been getting on contact as much as she'd like.
Kooky style: Kristen reportedly wanted to fly out to see Robert in Australia but he's said to be ignoring her calls
A source told HollywoodLife.com: 'Kristen is desperate to get out to Australia because she misses Rob. But he's being ambivalent about the whole thing.
'It seems like she's going to fly out there, despite the fact that he has cut their communication down a lot. He's barely picking up her calls (or) responding to her messages.'
The source continues: 'Kristen is really missing Rob. Regardless of their 'romantic' relationship, they are still really good friends.
'That is something that won't change. Kristen is not ready to say goodbye to this relationship and will do whatever it takes to make it work.
Low profile: Since Robert has been Down Under shooting his new movie Kristen has surrounded herself by her pals for various evenings out
Home time: Kristen kept her look simple with a backwards baseball cap, T-shirt and jeans
'She is just being patient and spending a lot of time with her mum. Her mum has been very supportive and just keeps encouraging her to be true to herself and to keep things simple.'
Other reports suggest Kristen's team behind her are worried if she goes to Australia to see Rob she could be caught getting upset, which could be detrimental with the final Twilight movie coming out on DVD shortly.
But it seems Pattinson is throwing himself into work, getting into his role of a common criminal, with rotting teeth to boot.
The 26-year-old revealed a pair of rather nasty rotting teeth as he filmed scenes alongside co-star Guy Pearce in the Australian outback on Tuesday.
Robert appears to have been fitted with a pair of false teeth which are discoloured, crooked and cracked.
Still keen, Kristen? Robert has been displaying some rotten teeth as he films his role as a criminal in movie The Rover
Busy boy: Robert will return from Australia in the next fortnight when filming in the Australian outback wraps
Shooting, which is taking place in
several areas of the Australian outback, is said to be going for seven
weeks and is expected to finish in mid-March, according to Variety.
while Robert is filming in Australia, his on and off girlfriend Kristen
Stewart has been filling up her time without her boyfriend by hanging
with her Hollywood pals.
Recently the perennially glum star struggled once again to crack a smile as she went out to dinner with her friends.
And she was even seen hobbling while out and about with a pal last week - reportedly from hurting her foot while out letting her hair down.
Are they or aren't they? The pair are said to be on a break while Pattinson is in Australia after struggling to get back on track following Kristen's affair scandal last year

PCA has started sending E-Mails about new post answers. They stopped it before and I can only conclude that it it is a mistake with it being sent again.
I have subscribed unticked for posts.Anyone else getting e-mails when they shouldn't.
No use just saying click on the unsubscribe part on the e-mail as I should not be getting an e-mail in the first place.

"I have subscribed unticked for posts"
Do you mean that you have unticked the option allowing other users to subscribe to your posts?
You'll receive an email informing you when someone posts to a thread that you started, but you can stop that by clicking the link in the email. The emails will stop for that thread, but you'll need to click the link next time you start a thread.

Must be at least 6 months since I had the same problem and it has just started again within the last week.
I can confirm that I have had no E-mail warning in that time of someone answering my thread,It has now started again.
I have this unticked in my profile [Allow users to subscribe to my posts]
I do not want to click on the link on the e-mail I just do not want the e-mail in the first place.
Just something I don't like for some reason I usually only use my e-mail for friends and family,
If you can find out why it has restarted sending e-mails I would be obliged.

I have found that it does tend to be a bit of hit and miss. Sometimes you get responses other times you do not. When you do, its just a simple job of 'green ticking'.
I assume you are referring to being the originator of a post/thread?.

Yes spuds being the originator of a post/thread?
Hated it when they updated the forum last year and I was getting all the e-mail replies.
It stopped about 6 months ago but looks like it is back again.

One way to stop getting these emails is to use a throw away email address.Email. As it is no longer possible to PM another member then using your own email seems pointless.

Selectable marker-free transgenic orange plants recovered under non-selective conditions and through PCR analysis of all regenerants

Selectable marker (SM) genes have been considered necessary to achieve acceptable rates in the generation of transgenic plants. Genes encoding antibiotic or herbicide resistance are widely used for this purpose. In most cases, once transgenic plants have been regenerated, permanence of SM genes in the plant genome is no longer necessary, and it becomes a matter of public concern. Moreover, the removal of SM genes from transgenic plants could facilitate gene stacking through successive transformations, particularly when the availability of these markers is rather limited for most crop plants. In the genus Citrus, with highly heterozygotic species of long generation cycles, methods implying the segregation and removal of marker transgenes in the progeny are not feasible. Here, we have evaluated the direct production of SM-free citrus plants under non-selective conditions, using a "clean" binary vector carrying only the transgene of interest, and through the recovery of transformants by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of all regenerated shoots. The response of two different citrus genotypes, Carrizo citrange (intergeneric hybrid of C. sinensis L. Osb. X Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.) and Pineapple sweet orange (C. sinensis L. Osb.), was evaluated. Our results indicate that, in this system, the competence between transgenic and non-transgenic cells is the main factor determining final transgenic regeneration frequencies. For Carrizo citrange, no transgenic plant could be recovered. For Pineapple sweet orange, marker-free transformation efficiency was 1.7%, paving the way for the viable production of orange transformants carrying only the transgene(s) of interest.
