“Hello
Just wanted to let you about two great nights of comedy and music, called Childish Things, that are happening next month on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th February, at The New Theatre in our hometown, Oxford. Most importantly, these shows are in aid of Helen and Douglas House, an Oxford-based hospice for children and young adults.
In the past, Colin, Ed and myself have performed at these shows. They are very entertaining evenings, and amongst the performers this year are Rob Brydon, Newton Faulkner, Josh Widdicombe, Stornoway, Marcus Brigstocke, David Armand, Paul Foot, Holly Walsh and Sarah Pascoe.
Tickets and more information are available here:http://www.atgtickets.com/shows/childish-things-9-comedy-night/new-theatre-oxford/

Every kid has their taken in a comic, cartoon or even real people like . They want to become look like there idols in the way of their talk, style and especially their . Meanwhile, there are a lot of kids who are interested in Pretty Cure with two main characters: Cure Black and Cure White. But how to up like them makes children excited.
Cure Black’s style
She is an intelligent, kind and understanding girl. Although she is sporty, she is actually more girly and image conscious. As a civilian, she is seen wearing a pink, zipped vest jacket, with a white and red shirt underneath. A grey skirt, yellow and orange socks, blue and white sneakers, and a black wristband on her right wrist. In general, she’s usually covered in black outfits, and her formerly black top becomes red. Her skirt, gloves, and leggings have extra pink ruffle trimmings. There is also a tiny pink heart in the center of the bow. Her earrings and belt buckle are gold.
Cure White’s style
She is a smart, gentle and understanding girl. She has long, dark blue hair and usually clips her bangs to the side. She wears a white jacked, a pale yellow dress and white shoes. She is also wears a white lab coat and glasses at school. She uses a white bow with a dark blue heart in her hair, and her elbow-to-wrist gloves are white with baby blue ruffle trimming and each glove has a dark blue heart at the wrist. Lastly, her legwarmers are white with a baby blue heart and below it, matching ruffle trimming and white shoes.
Preparation
• Dresses to match Cure Black and Cure White’s styles.
• Hairstyles kit
• Makeup kit
• Accessories: hair bands, rubber bands, glasses, hair clips, long socks, shoes and boots, etc
• Magic items
How to dress up
• We will start working out this dress up games by buying necessary dresses and accessories in an anime or a manga shop.
• we can create our own dress up games, simply applying our own creativity and imagination. • It is not necessary to buy all things in the shop because they are very expensive. We can reuse something which is available at home like gloves from the winter’s wardrobe. Prepare some handmade hearts to stick on belt and shoes.
• We can use color lens to change our eyes’ color to be suitable with character we choose. Besides, to change hairstyles, we might use wig or make style by ourselves.
• Moreover, we can check images or the way of clothes and accessory combination in online dress up games having Cure Black and White as main characters.
Similarly, this real dress up game can be used for other favorite characters. You can invite your friends coming to your house and joining in a dress up party like that. It is a great way to practice and show your talent and creativity in diverse fashion styles.
In this school year, my class has a new comer. She is so special and make all members of my class surprised. Not because she is so beautiful but because of the way she dresses up. They are not expensive clothes but they are unique and impressive, they make her very attractive, they make most of people have to look at her when she goes through.
Fortunately, she is arranged a seat next to me by the teacher and I have chance to make friend with her and find out the secret in her style. That makes me very interesting. She is more friendly than I imaged. She shared with me a lot of her hobbies, and we have many similarities in interests. Hence, we rapidly become best friends and join in numerous activities together. However, I was still curious about the costumes she wears, they are not same with ones I saw in shops. I wondered how she could make them different but I was a little shy to ask her directly.
One day, I was allowed to invite her to come my house and have dinner with my family at the weekend. She was very polite and friendly so my mother liked her very much. While my mother prepared dishes, I took her to my room and introduced her toys as well as my hobbies in the free time. Suddenly, she asked me if I played online games or not. I explained that my mother only allowed me to play the games which were good for my studying or entertaining only, not violent games or games which were easy to be addicted like action games. She smiled and said that she usually played dress up games and they were totally not harmful. And they were reason how to make her style different from others.
Only by searching Google, I would find dozen types of dress up games. She advised that I should choose some games having costumes and characters which were close to our life and the most important thing is that they should be suitable with me. After that, I noticed to costumes combinations as well as accompanied accessories. I had to save some sets I like and found them at the shops. It is not necessary to buy expensive ones but the way we make them become special and unique. She told that sometimes, when she bought clothes, she would have some ways to make them different by sawing more patterns or combining with handmade accessories. Besides, she said that I also noticed my hairstyles when dressing up, they should be match with clothes we dress up and they will make us prominent. Hats, shoes, bags are the essential accessories I should have in my wardrobe.
Finally, I couldn’t realize myself in mirror, so impressive. I knew her secret and it is very simple when we notice and we really want ourselves to become more beautiful. And now, she and I have a same hobby and share it everyday. It is dress up game.

Hello and I'd like to let everyone know I'm off on an adventure to South Africa on Saturday. I've been working with a charity based there, called the Children's Radio Foundation, which works with young people in half a dozen countries in Africa to give them journalistic and broadcasting skills, and a voice to tell their stories. I'm going for 11 days to visit some of the places where the CRF is working with youth groups, hospitals and radio stations in South Africa. You can follow my trip HERE. I will be putting up some pictures, and blogging about the journey as I go along. You can see and hear some of the stories by following the Vimeo link, and Soundcloud too.
I'm very excited to be going, and I hope you will enjoy following my journey on the site. I'm working with CRF because I've always believed in the importance of curiosity, and I grew in a home that was passionate about ' Radio ', as a window to the world outside. In my day job as a musician, I've always loved travelling, meeting people, and making connections with them about all our lives. CRF does all of this this brilliantly, through its radio and journalism training. CRF informs and enlightens everyone's lives - the reporter, interviewee, and the listener, wherever they may be. I'll also be checking out some music too, so keep an eye on the site! "

やあ。土曜日に南アフリカへ冒険に行くことをみんなにお知らせしておきたいんだ。僕は以前からそこを拠点としたChildren's Radio Foundationというチャリティ活動に参加していて、若者たちとアフリカの六ヶ国でジャーナリズムやブロードキャストの技術提供、彼らが自分たちについて発信するためのアドバイスをしている。CRFの若者のグループが活動している場所、南アフリカの病院やラジオ局をいくつか訪れるため11日間滞在する予定だ。みんなは旅の状況をここで見ることができる。写真を掲載したり道中での出来事をブログに書いていく。VimeoやSoundCloudでもその様子を視聴できるようになるよ。
旅に出るのをとても楽しみにしている、君たちがサイトで僕の旅を見守るのを楽しんでくれるといいな。CRFと共に活動するのは好奇心の重要性をいつも強く感じているからなんだ、僕は家で熱心に「ラジオ」を聴いて育った、外の世界へ開かれた窓としてね。僕の日々の仕事はミュージシャンで、常日頃から旅をしたり、人々に会ったり、周りの仲間と関係を築いていくことが大好きだ。CRFではラジオやジャーナリズムのトレーニングを通じて、そのすべてを見事に行なっている。CRFはすべての人の生活に情報を与えて啓蒙するんだ－リポーター、インタビューされる人、それから視聴者、どんな立場の人でも。僕も音楽をチェックするつもりでいるよ、サイトから目を離さないでね！

After nine years of racing, Billy Tyree finally left the track a champion this past month. The Burnt Chimney native took the lead and ultimately the race in a last lap move at the 2012 U.S. Open Wheel Championship in Etters, Pa. It is the biggest event of the year for radio controlled dirt oval racing.
The entire arena cheered as 24-year-old Tyree’s car crossed the finish line to win the race. The loudest applause came from Billy’s father, Tim Tyree, who stood beside the track and expressively cheered his son to victory. He waved his arms wildly as the cars took their final turns and fell to the ground in tears as his son crossed the finish line first.
“The place went crazy,” Tim Tyree said when describing the end of the race. “I was a nervous wreck.”
Billy Tyree has become a standout in the radio controlled dirt oval racing scene. He has managed to battle his way near the top of the national points standings even while fighting muscular dystrophy.
Muscular dystrophy has confined him to a wheelchair in recent years, but Billy was still able to masterfully work the remote control for his race car. Billy out drove everyone at the Bumps and Jumps RC Speedway on Dec. 16 for the championship.
Billy Tyree won the race with a time of 4:02.441. He moved ahead on the last lap to finish only a fraction of a second faster than the second place finisher, who crossed the line with a time of 4:02.671.
The crowd cheered as Billy made his way through the pack and they erupted in applause as he crossed the finish line. Several of the drivers gathered around him and his father to congratulate them after the win.
“When they’re not racing me, they’re rooting for me,” Billy Tyree said of the other drivers.
Billy Tyree and his father have become favorites in the radio controlled racing community. It is easy to see why when meeting the duo. They have both become big fans of the sport.
Billy Tyree started racing radio-controlled cars at the age of 15. It was around that time that his neighbor introduced him to the sport and took him to a local track in Chatham. The track, Cooper’s RC Race Center, is now a second home for Billy.
“I picked it up pretty quickly,” Billy said.
What started out as an occasional weekend trip quickly turned into a serious hobby. His father, after noticing his son’s passion for the sport, began to help out. Tim now calls himself the crew chief for his son’s race team. He helps to prepare each of his cars for race day.

Are you swimming in her pools?
Are you swimming in her pools?
Will you be brushing off her snow?
Will you be brushing off her snow?
Will you be brushing off her snow?
How can you stand the cold?
How can you stand the cold?
And if you're still there when it snows
Will you still be there when it goes?
Will you still be there when it's time
To fill the pools again?
And will you be coming back here?
Will you be coming back here?
Will you be coming back here?
Are you running up the river banks
And tracing them like long fingers
Are you running up her river banks
And navigating them?
Fingers of a hand
'Cause fingers make the hand
And rivers make the land
Is she cradling you well?
Oh is she cradling you well?
'Cause if I call you baby, she should cradle you well
Does she fucking know?
Does she fucking know?
And how the lines that appear around your eyes
When you are smiling
Are revered for the way in which they always reappear
Oh, will you be coming back here?
Oh, will you be coming back here?
Oh, will you be coming back here?
I hope you find your mother
I hope you find your mother there
I hope you find your mother there
You hit the ground running with a terrifying speed
But it's the ground you cover that terrifies me
And brace yourself for the sound of bleeding
'Cause bleeding hearts bleed
Bleeding hearts bleed
Bleeding hearts bleed
And "please" is not a word that I ever say quietly...
You said your love was fierce, fierce, fierce
You said your love was fierce, it's true
You said your love was fierce, fierce, fierce
You said your love was fierce and I agree with you
His child of the future is the child I am seeing, too
You said your love was fierce and I agree with you
These tigers at heart are the tigers I am seeing, too
You said your love was fierce and I agree with you
With the developement of new technology the mediums in which we define art (music, photo or otherwise) is also more diverse, expanding and evolving, giving us the ability to explore and do more! In my opinion, just because technology is simplifying things does not devalue the art in itself. What really gets to me is when some people say that what they are doing and how they are doing it is the right way, and to try and tell other's, in a subliminal way, that their method is not the right way because they didn't do it the same.
This is impossible to do because art is expression and everyone has their own idea of how that flows...because it is a way of chanelling something through you. The medium you use is not nearly as important as the outcome and how much it does or does not effect some body. At the end of it all... it really just comes down to you. What you want to do, how far you want to push yourself or not...but for someone to rag on other artist or musicians because they are doing something in a different way (maybe a more simple way-or "cheating") is simply...pointless...and i lose respect for the artist who puts other artists down. It's like saying oh look at me i have done all this un necessary work, and gone way out of my own way to make trouble for myself, to make it interesting, and now i want to get credit for it, and put other people down? Like what the fuck is that? I guess i just have a different point of view when it comes to technical details like that.
... As far as I'm concerned we all are individually THE ART.
Make your life the art and stop trying to define what is or is not. There is no right or wrong way! Its all experimentation and the expressions are endless. WE need to jump outside of the boxes of these catagorizations we've made for ourselves.
To me just the fact that some one put shit into a can, calling it ART... because it's original and they CAN.. can shit and call it art and therefore it is...that blows my mind. It has a brilliance to it ( in it's own fucked up way)... I'm not going to tell that person that it isn't art. It's an impossible arguement. Art is different things to different people. Just like people find different things meaningful. Maybe shit in a can has some sort of deeper meaning to that person? Maybe they just thought it was funny...and wondered if they could get away with doing something so stupid. Maybe it's a pun in the form of an object...it's " shit in a can"...thats art. Maybe what it's really saying is that "art is shit"...because it's however you want to define it...and that is funny, because it's fucking true!
Or the graphitti on the toilet bowl...thats "art" too... and it goes on and on...and our definitions to these things are getting broader and broader...It gets hard to tell where to draw the line!
I mean. I don't know...for me I am drawn to things that move me on a deeper level...spiritually and mentally...and i think most other people would agree with that...and all i know is thats how i can classify what is art to me, personally. The means in which you go about sharing this expression with others is completely up to the individual and it should stay there, getting into comparing who does what...what way...is just stupid. It never produces anything but bitterness. Don't judge. Don't campare. Easy. It makes the person judging look egotistical and like:"look at me"..."look at everything I've done"...and the ego of that takes away from the actual art which is in itself...not even the artist's to begin with... artists just happen to work on chanelling that energy. Maybe ego is arts biggest block!
Some use more effort, some use less. Some do nothing at all...
and so?
Anyways. I just watched an interview, and although I like this persons music (And NO I am not talking about Radiohead! another band but it doesn't really matter to say who it was..) Just...all these little side comments about what he does...and what other artists don't do...it just really irritated me...
But NOW I'm the one judging...mmmm. Thats a tricky one. Nothing against this person...his music is great, amazing actually...but he should just get out of the way...thats all. Let the music do the talking.
Shit! Now I wish i just said nothing at all. Judging is a downward spiral.
I'm going to go...take a shit now...and be saticefied with producing absolutely nothing today:) It's ART!

In Rajasthan, India, an extraordinary school teaches rural women and men -- many of them illiterate -- to become solar engineers, artisans, dentists and doctors in their own villages. It's called the Barefoot College, and its founder, Bunker Roy, explains how it works.
