The Courteeners overcame an on-the-road drama to play a storming set on the John Peel stage at Glastonbury today (June 28).
The Manchester band's tourbus broke down on the way to the festival in Walsall last night, leaving the band stranded and facing a race against time to make their set today.
"The exhaust pipe fell off our van," the band's singer Liam Fray told the crowd. "But we're here now, so let's have it!"
Kicking off with 'Aftershow', the band fired through tracks from their debut album 'St Jude' to a packed crowd, with large queues snaking out of the tent.
Previous singles 'Cavorting' and 'What Took You So Long' received the biggest cheers, while Fray dived into the crowd and gave high-fives to the front row after a raucous 'Not Nineteen'.
"This is one of the greatest days of my life," Fray told the crowd before 'What Took You So Long' – the chorus of which inspired loud chants that carried on well after the band left the stage.
Before leaving the stage, Fray urged the crowd to go and see fellow Mancunians Elbow on the Other Stage. "If you do one thing other than see us, go and see them because they're fucking amazing," he said.
The Courteeners played:
'Please Don't'
'Kings Of The New Road'
'Bide Your Time'
'No You Didn't, No You Don't'
'Yesterday, Today And Probably Tomorrow'
'Not Nineteen'
'What Took You So Long'

3 minute Microwave Muffin (Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)
The blog world is filled with the infamous mug cakes or microwave muffins and I must admit, they are incredibly quick, tasty and provide an amazing protein boost. Often, my breakfasts incorporate abit of protein powder (mixed into yogurt or oatmeal) and before bed, I always have a scoop of casein with some nuts. The rest of the day, I am to keep my food choices based around whole foods. I tried experimenting with various concoctions in my microwave to see if I could recreate a protein mug cake, minus the use of protein powder or any sweeteners. After some epic failures, I think I have come up with a basic recipe which resembles a mug cake in both taste and texture, without being dry. The bonus- all in under 3.5 minutes! Success!
Revamped recipe- Can be found here.
Grain free Protein Powderless Muffin/Microwave English muffin
3 minute microwave muffin
- 2 Tbs peanut flour 15 grams
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbs canned unsweetened pumpkin
- 2 large egg whites
- Cinnamon
- Stevia Optional
- Spray a microwave safe cereal bowl with cooking spray and add the peanut flour and baking powder and mix well.
- Add the canned pumpkin and 2 egg whites and mix VERY well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Add the cinnamon and put into the microwave for 2-4 minutes, depending on the power. I put it for approximately 3 minutes (I use a 850watt microwave), but watch it and ensure it puffs up and is fully cooked. Overcooking it will result in a more drier texture.
- Allow cool, slice in half, and top with cheese/nut butter or eat it as itself.

Lauren Oliver's Delirium trilogy had been on my TBR list for quite some time, but it wasn't until I had about fifteen students, all in one week's time, command that I finally read these books. So, I just do what my students tell me, mostly because these girls were a little rabid and I was honestly a bit scared of them! haha
So, I finally read Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem by Lauren Oliver in early fall. I was on a bit of a necessarily review writing hiatus (life was crazy yo) so I decided to consider these books as a whole.
Overall, I thought the whole premise behind these books was really inventive. The idea of love as a disease that future governments would strive to eradicate is pretty interesting. I mean when you think about it, it does makes sense that love would be seen as the root of all the world's problems. So I was impressed with the first book, Delirium and how Oliver portrayed this dystopian world where love was a thing to be feared. Overall, Oliver's world building was pretty strong. I loved the excerpts from the Book of Shhh (Lena's society's holy book) and the legends and myths that were retold to fit the society's needs.
The way society was set-up in Lena's, the main character, world reminded me a bit of the society in Westerfeld's Uglies series. When teens turn a specific age they are to undergo massive surgery to "fix" them. In the Uglies books it is to make them "pretty", whereas in Oliver's books the surgery is intended to cure one's brain of the disease of love. When we meet Lena she is prepping for her soon-to-be-scheduled "cure" when someone comes into her life forcing her to rethink everything she has been told.
I really liked the first two books, Delirium and Pandemonium. In these first two books, Lena's world slowly unfurls until the world she knew becomes a totally different creature altogether. The momentum was building just like the rebellion….and then we got to Requiem. Really, I was enjoying the book, not as much as the first two but enjoying it, and then we got to the ending. I'm not going to give anything away here, but talk about a let down! I felt like Oliver just left us with nothing and I was super disappointed.
All in all, this was a fun series. In the end however, I just wanted so much more than what Oliver was willing to give, I guess. I did enjoy the books however as a whole, and would recommend them to 7th grade readers and up who are fans of the dystopian genre.

Session File: Steve Hunter on Recording Alice Cooper's 'Cold Ethyl'
I've mentioned before about Alice Cooper's sharp wit and humor, and nowhere is that more evident than in the lyrics of "Cold Ethyl," from 1975's Welcome to My Nightmare. When we were first learning the song in the studio, I wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics. I was busy learning the arrangement and developing my part. And, as we started recording, the first few takes were used to see if any changes were needed before we nailed down the final version. Once that was all straight, we began recording takes to get a performance.
"Cold Ethyl" was a lot of fun to play. Even better, Alice liked singing with us as we did the basic tracks—which helped us get a far better sense of the song than if we were laying down solely instrumental parts. But that's when it got funny for me. As soon as I could relax and simply enjoy playing the song, I started listening to the lyrics, and they were so hilarious that I found myself cracking up in the middle of takes. Alice would do some hysterical things vocally, as well, so that didn't help me keep a straight face at all. And what made it even funnier was that we were all approaching the song as a damn serious, balls-out rock tune. We did everything we could to make it slam—excepting the laughter, that is.
When it came time for overdubs, I had an idea for the intro—a sort of Hendrix/Leslie West approach—and [album producer] Bob Ezrin said to go for it. I messed around with that concept, and out came the part that made it on the album. I also used the Leslie West approach for my little solo between the chorus and verse. You can tell I had become fond of pinch harmonics! Dick Wagner played the solos at the end, while I did a slide part. I played everything with my trusty '60s Gibson SG and a Marshall. I think you can tell I used the neck pickup, which I almost always preferred back then.
On tour in 1975, Alice had this full-size stuffed dummy dressed in a pink ballet costume that he would mercilessly throw around the stage, dance with, and impale several times with a sword. Occasionally, I would see some of the things he would do to that dummy, and I would always lose it. In 2011, I went back out on the road with Alice, and it was such a joy to do "Cold Ethyl" with him again. Like a home movie, it brought back all the great memories of recording the song and playing it live on the original Welcome to My Nightmare tour.

Canopy Size
Larger tree canopies yield greater benefits. Cities can maximize the benefits of trees by selecting the largest canopy tree for the available planting space. The surface area of a tree's leaves covers between 2 and 8 times the area directly covered by the tree. As a result, larger tree canopies result in improved air quality, cooler summer air, greater reduction of storm water, better water quality, and reduced demand for summertime peak electricity.
Air Quality
100 trees remove 5 tons of CO2 and 1,000 lbs of pollutants per year.
Water Quality and Runoff
100 trees save $550 annually in storm water infrastructure costs.
Pavement Longevity
Shaded pavement can last 50% longer before needing resurfacing with slurry seal. This saves our communities $30,000 per mile in road resurfacing costs.
Parking Lots
Cars in shaded parking lots release 18%-21% less hydrocarbon emissions due to heat-induced leakage. Cabin temperatures are up to 60 degrees Fahrenheit lower.

The newly restored Steam Train made its inaugural run on May 1, 2015 during The Great Locomotive Chase & Living History Day as part of Jefferson Pilgrimage and Civil War Weekend.
Historic Jefferson Railway
The Robert E Lee, our steam locomotive, is more than 50 years old. We will run the steam train for most special events and have commissioned an antique gas-powered locomotive, the Critter, into service for our regularly scheduled weekend tours. This train was built in 1964. The train ride takes you through the beautiful woods and wetlands along the Big Cypress Bayou and lasts about 40 minutes with a stop at the Diamond Don Gator Pit to see the feeding of the live alligators that live there.
The steam locomotive was built in 1964 for Six Guns Territory in Florida and moved to Jefferson in 1986. It is a Crown Metal reproduction of the 1870's American Class 4-4-0 steam locomotive christened the Robert E. Lee and known as Engine #7. The open car coach seats still carry the custom medallions cast into them and designed especially for the Six Guns amusement park.
The Critter is a gas-powered Plymouth Locomotive. Plymouth locomotives were first built in 1910. Plymouth was one of the world's most productive builders of small industrial locomotives. They built over 7,500 units of which 1,700 are believed to still be in active service.
The Railway has become a part of the thriving community of Jefferson sponsoring major events throughout the year that bring over 20,000 visitors to Jefferson. Patrons look forward all year to the Terror on the Bayou Runaway Fright Train and Halloween Festival, Rail of Lights Christmas & New Year's Train, Diamond Don's National Vintage Motocross, The Great Locomotive Chase and Route 49 Biker Rally.
The train rolls right by the home of the Boggy Creek monster as depicted in the upcoming feature horror movie, "Boggy Creek", filmed in Jefferson and Uncertain. The movie is loosely based on the old Big Foot or Sasquatch legends, says Brian T. Jaynes, director and producer.

Why Is No One Buying Bonds?
The big banks on Wall Street, including Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase , are telling investors to expect another down quarter for their fixed income trading operations. Will it ever turn around?
In this segment of The Motley Fool's financials-focused show, Where the Money Is, banking analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss the cyclicality of the trading business and how investors should viewer the results. The two address the notion that "no one wants to buy bonds" and why that inactivity hurts the banks.
No one wants bonds because investors want yields. Like from these dividend kings.
One of the dirty secrets that few finance professionals will openly admit is the fact that dividend stocks as a group handily outperform their non-dividend paying brethren. The reasons for this are too numerous to list here, but you can rest assured that it's true. However, knowing this is only half the battle. The other half is identifying which dividend stocks in particular are the best. With this in mind, our top analysts put together a free list of nine high-yielding stocks that should be in every income investor's portfolio. To learn the identity of these stocks instantly and for free, all you have to do is click here now.

Mass Flow Controller theory
In the case of mass flow control, the output signal is continuously compared with a setpoint signal from a voltage source. Any deviations between setpoint signal and measured signal are translated into a solenoid control valve adjustment until the two signals are identical.
Only Bronkhorst High-Tech offers so many different models of control valves, not just suitable up to pressures of 700 bar, but also capable of coping with high and extremely low differential pressures, and with high flow rates. Thanks to a modular construction the control valves can be easily serviced.

If you're planning to buy a McDonald's Happy Meal for your kid in California's Silicon Valley sometime soon, don't expect to get a toy.
In a 3-2 vote, supervisors in Santa Clara County have decided to ban promotional toy goodies in meals with more than 485 calories, 600 milligrams of sodium, 35 percent of total calories from fat or 10 percent of calories added from sugar.
The California county is the first in the nation to ban fast food restaurant toys because the meals they come with are unhealthy.
Backers of the law say it is a necessary step to combat childhood obesity. In Santa Clara County, one in four youth are overweight or obese. Opponents are upset that the government is intruding in family affairs, and the decision has angered the California Restaurant Association.
The ordinance covers unincorporated areas of the county, which would affect around a dozen fast-food chains and several local restaurants. Violators of the ban would be fined $1,000 for violations. A final vote to reaffirm the decision is expected to take place on May 11. If passed, it would take effect in 90 days.
McDonald's Happy Meals were first introduced in 1979. Does this ban mark the beginning of the end for Happy Meals? Do you support the ban or think it's too much government meddling?

AUSTIN, Texas- Former Westlake High School teacher Haeli Noelle Wey has been sentenced to 10 years probation after pleading guilty to having an improper relationship with two students.
Haeli Noelle Wey pleaded guilty to two counts of improper relationship between educator and student on February 3rd.
She was a math teacher at Westlake High School until October 30, 2015.
According to court documents, Wey and one of the the victims had been communicating with each other through social media since the start of the school year. The alleged incident that led to the current charges happened during a hike in September. The arrest affidavit listed a series of texts between Wey and the victim that shows her inviting the victim on the hike and then asking the victim to delete the conversation from their phone.
Court documents say a juvenile witness found the exchange on the victim's phone and alerted authorities. The victim then provided details of the improper encounter to investigators during an interview.
The incident with the second student occurred during the summer. According to the affidavit, Wey invited the victim to her home where they had intercourse. The sexual relationship allegedly lasted several months. Authorities became aware of the incident after the victim made an outcry to their parent, who then alerted law enforcement.
Wey bonded out of the Travis County Jail Thursday night. Her bond was set at $75,000.
According to the Texas Education Agency, Wey voluntarily surrendered her teaching certification on December 15th.
Wey is ordered by the court not to have contact with the two alleged victims. The district is making counselors available for staff and students that have been affected by the incident.

Survey: Craziest Excuses For Calling In Sick
Have you ever called in sick due to an allergy attack? Did you neglect to mention that it's the huge stack of paperwork on your desk that caused the allergic reaction? Or maybe you have a migraine but failed to explain it's from your annoying co-workers.
The list of personal "ailments" used to get a day off from work could go on and on, but everybody plays hooky from the office every now and then. According to a new CareerBuilder survey, in the past year, 30 percent of workers have called in sick when not actually ill.
However, some employees could use a little more finesse in crafting their excuse. In the survey, hiring managers and human-resource professionals shared the most unusual excuses that employees gave for calling in sick, as well as trends in when sick days are taken.
1. Believe it or not.
In an old episode of "The Office," company manager Michael Scott sends an employee to check on a co-worker who called in sick, suspecting him of faking it to get a day off from work.
Apparently some employers have taken similar measures: 18 percent of employers have had other employees call a suspected faker, and 14 percent have gone so far as to drive by the employee's home. Twenty-nine percent of employers have checked up on an employee to verify that the illness is legitimate, usually by requiring a doctor's note or calling the employee later in the day.
More:1 In 4 Employees Text In Sick
Some workers may legitimately start feeling sick after being caught faking it: 17 percent of employers have fired employees for giving a fake excuse.
2. Have yourself a merry little sick day.
Flu and cold season is in full swing by Thanksgiving, and employees are staying at home during the colder months to get through it. Thirty-one percent of employers notice an uptick in sick days around the winter holidays.
Maybe it's to enjoy holiday movies or stay in bed with the sniffles, but December is the most popular month to call in sick, with employers saying 20 percent of employees call in the most during that month. July is the next most popular month to skip out on work, followed by January and February.
3. Taking a personal day.
Not all reasons to skip work fall neatly under "vacation" or "sick" days. Next to actually being sick, the most common reasons employees call in sick are because they just don't feel like going to work (34 percent) or because they felt like they needed to relax (29 percent). Others take a day off so they can make a doctor's appointment (22 percent), catch up on sleep (16 percent) or run errands (15 percent).

4. Honesty may not always be the best policy.
As far as excuses go, nothing will ever seem as unbelievable or induce quite as many eye rolls as, "The dog ate my homework." However, working adults don't always have the most believable excuses either.
When asked to share the most memorable explanations employees have used for missing work, employers reported the following real-life examples:
- Employee's sobriety tool wouldn't allow the car to start.
- Employee forgot he had been hired for the job.
- Employee said her dog was having a nervous breakdown.
- Employee's dead grandmother was being exhumed for a police investigation.
- Employee's toe was stuck in a faucet.
- Employee said a bird bit her.
- Employee was upset after watching "The Hunger Games."
- Employee got sick from reading too much.
- Employee was suffering from a broken heart.
- Employee's hair turned orange from dyeing her hair at home.

Those unfortunate souls who default on their mortgages are unwittingly dragging their neighbours down too, with housing prices in these areas more likely to mortgagee fire-sales by as much as four times the average elsewhere.
For instance, of the 15 suburbs in Sydney with the highest number of mortgages that have been defaulted on, median houses have fallen 12 percent on average over the last four years. This is far higher than the 2.9 percent average decline in house prices across Sydney.
The likely reason for this is that a large number of mortgagee sales in a particular suburb can create a stigma for a particular neighbourhood. This in turn undermines the potential sale prices of other properties nearby, even though they may not necessarily be for sale because of mortgage stress. Buyers look at the prices of mortgagee sales and equate that ALL house prices should be of a similar value.
The subsequent effects of lower housing prices then further spread to neighbour's property's who maybe happy to stay put, but lower property prices limit their ability to use their property as equity for a personal loan or investment loan.
This situation further highlights the importance of investors doing their homework and of choosing neighbourhoods that DO NOT have a high number of repossessions.
On the flip side, however, if banks encourage people to purchase mortgagee repossessions, the demand for these properties will increase, pushing their value up and thus creating a somewhat more reasonable situation.

The authors report the growth and mechanical properties of epitaxial B1 NaCl-structure V1-xWxN/MgO(001) thin films with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.60. The Gibbs free energy of mixing, calculated using density functional theory (DFT), reveals that cubic V1-xWxN solid solutions with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7 are stable against spinodal decomposition and separation into the equilibrium cubic-VN and hexagonal-WN binary phases. The authors show experimentally that alloying VN with WN leads to a monotonic increase in relaxed lattice parameters, enhanced nanoindentation hardnesses, and reduced elastic moduli. Calculated V1-xWxN lattice parameters and elastic moduli (obtained from calculated C11, C12, and C44 elastic constants) are in good agreement with experimental results. The observed increase in alloy hardness, with a corresponding decrease in the elastic modulus at higher x values, combined with DFT-calculated decreases in shear to bulk moduli ratios, and increased Cauchy pressures (C12–C44) with increasing x reveal a trend toward increased toughness.
Transition-metal nitrides are known for their high hardness, good wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and chemical inertness. Because of these properties, they are extensively used in many industrial applications, notably as protective wear, erosion, and scratch resistant coatings, which are often subjected to high thermo-mechanical stresses. While high hardness is essential, most applications also require high ductility, to avoid brittle failure due to cracking. However, transitionmetal nitrides, as most ceramics, generally exhibit low ductility and hence poor toughness.
Improving toughness, the combination of hardness and ductility, of ceramic materials requires suppression of crack initiation and/or propagation, both of which depend on the microstructure, electronic structure, and bonding nature of the coating material. This, however, is an extremely challenging task that requires a fundamental understanding of the mechanical behavior of materials. Theoretical studies, for example, ab initio calculations and simulations are therefore useful in the design of "unbreakable" materials by providing information about the electronic origins of hardness and ductility. Recent density functional theory calculations predicted that alloying can increase toughness in a certain family of transition-metal nitrides such as V-Mo-N and V-W-N alloys. Toughness enhancement in these alloys arises from a near optimal filling of the metallic d-t2g states, due to their high valence electron concentrations, leading to an orbital overlap which favors ductility during shearing.
This thesis focuses on the growth and characterization of V1-xMoxNy (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7, 0.55 ≤ y ≤ 1.03) and V1-xWxNy (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.83, 0.75 ≤ y ≤ 1.13) cubic alloy thin films. I show that alloying VN with WN increases the alloy hardness and reduces the elastic modulus, an indication of enhanced toughness. I investigated the growth, nanostructure, and atomic ordering of as-deposited V1-xWxNy(001)/MgO(001) thin films. In addition, I studied the growth, structural and mechanical properties, and electronic structure of V1-xMoxNy(001)/MgO(001) and V0.5Mo0.5Ny(111)/Al2O3(0001) thin films. I demonstrate that these alloys exhibit not only higher hardness than the parent binary compound, VN, but also dramatically increased ductility. V0.5Mo0.5N hardness is more than 25% higher than that of VN. Using nanoindentation I show that while VN and TiN reference samples undergo severe cracking typical of brittle ceramics, V0.5Mo0.5N films do not crack. Instead, they exhibit material pile-up around nanoindents, characteristic of plastic flow in ductile materials. Furthermore, the wear resistance of V0.5Mo0.5N is significantly higher than that of VN. I also show, for the first time, anion-vacancyinduced toughening of single-crystal V0.5Mo0.5Ny/MgO(001) films. Nanoindentation hardness of these alloys increases with the introduction of N-vacancies, while the elastic modulus remains essentially constant. In addition, typical scanning electron micrographs of nanoindents show no cracks, which demonstrate that N-vacancies lead to toughness enhancement in these alloys. Valence band x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses show that vacancy-induced toughening is due to a higher electron density of d-t2g(Metal) – d-t2g(Metal) orbitals with increasing N-vacancy concentration, and essentially equally dense p(N) – d-eg(Metal) first neighbor bonds.
Overall, I demonstrate that it is possible to design and deposit hard and ductile transition-metal nitride coatings. My research results thus provide a pathway toward the development of new tough materials.

Thanks Orchid-man, I am not very good with Mini . Catts. they seem pickier than the large ones .. maybe it is just me . Gin
OH, so pretty! My favorite one is the Mem. Robert Strait 'Lakeland' . I like the mini catts! There is always room for lots on the bench!
Congratulations on such beauties!
Mini Catts!!!! Ohhhhh, ohh, ohh!!! I want some!!!!!!!!!
Gin, you got nice flowers!!!
Lovely gin.. and... ooooh forbesii... and it ain't just coz I'm a wannabee species snob...
Thanks for looking , I am becomming a species snob ... I think ! I have less trouble blooming them, not the guess work .
Tindo you think I have nice plants ? if you could see some of them might take that back lolol .. Gin
They are beautiful I love chantilly lace does it have any fragrance? Doesn't it make you feel like you have performed a miracle when you get a bare root or rootless orchid to bloom?
Good Growing, Cin
Your plants are very happy looking, and a wish mine would bloom like yours... I have several minis, which are supposed to be blooming size and so far no flowers. The standard cats flower and the minis don't. I started fertilizing little more this spring hoping this will improve things. I keep my fingers crossed. Thank you for sharing yours. Nice photos too!
I love the forbesii - and the Orchidglade made some great clones in their day.....

TRON Guy
Back in early 2004, way before Tumblr, 9gag and Reddit, when the Ebaums meme-machine was still in its infancy and Encyclopedia Dramatica was still just a twinkle in Girlvinyl's gigantic hairy ballsack, internet memes were spread through email and then picked up by sites such as Something Awful and Fark. This story is no different.
Sometime in 2003, a computer systems manager from Minnesota named Jay Maynard decided that all of the TRON costumes he had seen on the internet sucked. With only a year left until Penguicon 1.0, a geek convention run by The Linux Foundation, what was a nerd to do? Jay's solution was to scour eBay for plastic body armor and a spandex unitard, and make a website to document his suit making progress. Some nerds found said website and emailed it to all their friends, who emailed it to all their friends etc, and the old guy in the onesie began polluting our internets; eventually popping up on Slashdot and other such websites. Seeing a mustachiod fat guy in spandex with a cameltoe was lulzy shit, it became the SA Awful link of the day (archive), and from there the TRON Guy was born.
TRON Guy, in his own words
—TRON guy used to be a geek
—TRON guy talking about quitting Anonymous, taken completely out of context
The Discovery of TRON Guy
Some argue that TRON Guy would not have been as note worthy had he decided to wear underwear underneath his costume that fateful day in 2004 that he won "Best Worksmanship in a costume" at Penguicon 1.0. After the original article (archive) on Slashdot, the troll forums started buzzing about this fat guy in a spandex TRON suit with his nuts hanging out. Those who were lucky enough to have actually see him at Penguicon said that he wore the suit not only for the first day, which held the costume judging, but for all 3 days straight, and was avoided completely by those who did not wish to see his balls.
—Some nerd
—advance512 - taking the internet too seriously
Jimmy Kimmel
Because Jimmy Kimmel loves making fun of those with social disorders, he invited TRON Guy to go on his show for about a dozen appearances between May and December of 2004. 5 of those appearances were Jimmy Kimmel sending TRON Guy out on dates with real live women, as opposed to the Dot Warner plushie and the 6 ft Ox he had been yiffing with at home (See next section). At the time of the first date, TRON Guy was an admitted virgin. Despite Jimmy's best efforts they were to no avail and TRON Guy remains a perma-virgin.
TRON Guy Loev Furries?
Tron Guy admittedly resides with his furry companion Paul Neubauer, who's fursona is "Orvan Ox", a semi-famous furry known for handing out bulk boxes of furshampoo at Furry conventions. They met online on an Animaniacs discussion board. Once TRON Guy figured out that there was someone in this world who would actually sleep with him, TRON Guy dropped his whole life and moved from his home town of Huston Texas to Orvan Ox's hometown of Fairmont Minnesota. Today TRON Guy and Orvan Ox own a home together, which they regularly use to entertain guests.
TRON Guy is also a member of a lot of furry communities on the LiveJournal. TRON Guy says he feels a connection with furries. He goes by the name Tonya Souther in the popular online virtual world known as SecondLife, he is a female latex tiger fur who runs a business selling fine BDSM furniture.
—TRONguy- Telling it like it is.
TRON Guy Buys A Plane
As a second choice to a light cycle, in June of 2008, TRON Guy purchased a $140,000 AMD-Zodiac custom single passenger sport airplane, despite never having made more than a couple of hundred dollars off of his TRON Guy appearances. The plane was custom painted to match TRON Guy's unitard and helmet.
—TRON Guy - Failing miserably at what he wanted.
The TRON Guy Today
Net Neutrality
TRON Guy has made one of his missions in life to be the fight for Net Neutrality. Alongside Leslie Hall, that queen who prances around in the Peter Pan costume on MySpace, and the Subservient Chicken (who by the way definitely will not put shoe on head when commanded) have put out maybe the single creepiest song/rap video thing on their website wearetheweb.org. This all star cast of internet celebrities, along with the Back Street Boys lip sinking AZNs, the Quiznos hamster thing and the Dancing Baby from like 1995, succeeded at showing the world that they are still clutching at attention with white knuckles, and nothing is going to stop them from pimping themselves out until even after it is too painful to watch. Evar.
South Park
On April 2, 2008, the comedic geniuses over at South Park put out an episode called "Canada on Strike". In that episode, Butters gets famous on the internet by singing "wut wut (in the butt)", an epically gay YouTube video put out by Samwell sometime early last year. Once the boys reach internet celebrity status, they visit the Department of Internet money to try to get paid for their meme. Also waiting for their internets are TRON Guy, the Final Boss of the Internet Tay Zonday, the world's biggest faggot Chris Crocker, Star Wars Kid, Sneezing Panda, Numa Numa Kid, Drama Prairie Dog, Afro Ninja, and a few others. The storyline is lame and the jokes aren't funny. They just do their trademark things like falling and stumbling with foam nunchucks, and Chris Crocker Yelling "Leave (Whoever the fuck he was near at the time) Alone!!!" a lot, but in the end, TRON Guy gets mauled by the panda so it's almost worth watching.
—Tay Zonday, Being the BMF he is.
TRON Guy and TOW
Another example of TRON Guy's pandering is the fact that TRON Guy's Wikipedia article is being considered for deletion by the Wikipedia Jews for violating Wikipedia's no auto-biographies and notability rules. This might succeed as being one of the worst stubs on Wikipedia by the way. Of course, TRON guy is on permanent Wikibreak, not having contributed since 2007 except to update his TRON Guy's talk page to suggest someone add to his article the fact that he just bought an airplane.

All Hail Rihanna the 2014 Fashion Icon
2 comments:
Rihanna got that award for a reason that is for sure. She is not afraid to be bold and to take risks with her fashion choices. But honestly I have mixed feelings about this dress. Love it but I also think that it's too out-there, like she didn't have to be practically nude. Leave a little something for the imagination but again this outfit screams Ri-Ri.ReplyDelete

I think at this point we've ALL seen her T&A so she has nothing left to leave to the imagination. lol I personally think that she takes what she learns from other countries and brings it back to the US. In other countries women don't have to cover themselves as much as we do here. Its Rihanna's way of rebelling of course but she does look good doing it.Delete

Today OSASCOMP made, if not the front page of the Guardian, at least Tim Dowling's Reference and languages Notebook under the heading Order force: the old grammar rule we all obey without realising followed by:
I had no idea there was a specific order for adjectives until I read a viral post.The viral post focussed on the following quote:
from a book called The Elements of Eloquence by Mark Forsyth.
ExtractsThe paragraph concerned the order of adjectives – if you're using more than one adjective before a noun, they are subject to a certain hierarchy. You know it's proper to say "silly old fool" and wrong to say "old silly fool", but you might never have thought about why – or if you did you probably imagined it was just some time-honoured convention you picked up by rote. But it isn't. There's a rule.
Unlike many laws of grammar or syntax, this one is virtually inviolable, even in informal speech. You simply can't say My Greek Fat Big Wedding, or leather walking brown boots.
In a piece for the BBC, ... Mark Forsyth examines a rare exception to the adjectival hierarchy: the Big Bad Wolf. Bad is opinion, and should therefore come first. However, as Forsyth points out, this phrase is too busy obeying another rule I'd never heard of: the rule of ablaut reduplication.
Other examples of the rule in action include chit-chat, singsong, flipflop and hip-hop. When you shift vowel sounds for effect this way, the vowels always follow a specific order: I, then A, then O.

If you're a native speaker, the hierarchy is ingrained in you.
With moderation
Broadly I agree with everything both Dowling and Forsyth say and am very pleased to see that the topic is winning increased attention as it is often especially important to into-English translators and more particularly to those who translate technical journalism. I'm also pleased to have learned about the exception attributed to ablaut reduplication.
I would, however, like to make a couple of qualifying statements:
- The statement "If you're a native speaker, the hierarchy is ingrained in you" sometimes fails when the OSASCOMP categories are difficult to assign or the subject matter is beyond the writer's comfort zone (as occurs often when good into-English translators tackle subjects they don't fully understand). On other occasions, OSASCOMP-attentive readers will observe that even good writers do occasionally slip up for whatever reason.
- For technical writers and translators, OSASCOMP is difficult to apply (a) because the categories are difficult or impossible to assign, or (b) because the challenge is to combine one or more adjectives with other types of qualifiers. This applies especially to noun qualifiers and things like prices or values combined with units of measurement as qualifiers.
I will follow this up with examples of (a) OSASCOMP slips by mother-tongue writers and journalists and (b) OSASCOMP challenges encountered in technical communication and the translation of technical journalism.
