Local man is remote control car racing champion

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.11010973452?profile=original

“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.

SIXTY-FIVE

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

Ranting about pointless shit

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!

'Judge Jury and Executioner' Lyrics 日本語訳

Don’t worry, baby
It goes right through me
I’m like the wind and my anger will disperse
Thin persecutors
Your twisted whispers
A horned reptile that is crawled upon the earth

I went for my usual walk
Just tell it like it is
Tell it like it was
Judge and jury, executioner
Judge and jury, executioner
Judge and jury

When darkness follows
And no tomorrows

It’s all been decided
All spies deceptive
All bouncing voices down the echo chamber

I went for my usual walk
I went around the block
I just can’t talk or reason with my executioner
Judge and jury, executioner
Judge and jury

Been wasting trails
You talk in layers

I went for my usual walk
Just tell it like it is
Tell it like it was
Judge and jury, executioner
Judge and jury, executioner
Judge and jury

Don’t worry, baby
It goes right through me
I’m like the wind and my anger will disperse

心配しないで
通り過ぎてしまうものだよ
僕はまるで風のようで怒りはいずれ散らばっていく
浅薄な迫害者たち
君のねじ曲げられたうわさ話
大地を這う角の生えた爬虫類 (媚びへつらう卑劣な奴)

僕はいつもの散歩に出掛けただけ
ありのままに話せ
本当はどうだったのか言うんだ
裁判官と陪審、死刑執行人

暗闇が訪れて
明日がもう来ないとしたら

それはみな決められていたこと
スパイはみんな当てにならない
反響箱を飲み込む誇張された声

僕はいつもの散歩に出掛けた
断頭台のあたりを巡って
死刑執行人に話をすることも説き伏せることもできない
裁判官と陪審、死刑執行人

手がかりを無駄にしてしまった
君が重ねて話す

僕はいつもの散歩に出掛けただけ
ありのままに話せ
本当はどうだったのか言うんだ
裁判官と陪審、死刑執行人


心配しないで
通り過ぎてしまうものだよ
僕はまるで風のようで怒りはいずれ散らばっていく

NEW FASHION TREND FOR GIRLS 2013

Fashion Games

To prepare for new year and make a lot of plans, do you want to refresh yourself with new fashion styles? When I walked around some websites several days ago in order to find new dress up games, I found out some articles forecasting 2013 fashion trends.


By accident, while I didn’t know to do with my free time on the last weekend, my friends suggested me play new dress up games or some games for girls to kill the time. When I typed some key words to find games, I found several websites introducing their new products for new year. They attracted me and I start to want myself to be changed with new fashion style which is suitable with new trends. Sometimes, which costumes we dress depends on how we feel. How we look also make us more confident, some people said that success is also brought from the way we dress. Meanwhile, the clothing, hair, beauty and accessory trends change each year, how we can catch up with them. Not because we have to follow them, but because they inspire us, how we can adapt them to our own personal style in a way that suits us. Some key pieces predicted to shape spring 2013.

In the website fashioning, they gave some forecasts for spring. First of all is belted floral dresses. This floral pattern was hot trend for the last summer and I got some in my wardrobe. However, to make it different and new, it can be combine with the belt. They said that “we expect to see the ladylike belted floral dress worn for many an occasion through the season.

So I can bring my floral dresses out and renew them. Next is collarless blouses, whether high-necked or plunging, soft collarless blouses will replace stiff business shirts. Meanwhile, T-shirts will get a luxury makeover in delicate fabrics and slash-neck cuts. Some accessories predicted are document clutch, sport wear, cowgirl boots. Besides, Vogue also has an article to introduce trends A-Z. If you want to know more about the fashion world and new trends, you can log into this magazine and see the gallery.

Not only in the magazines, fashion websites, also to welcome new year, a lot of dress up games will full of new trends cover all over the world. With the rapid development of information technology nowadays, we are not difficult to find the guide for our fashion style, even it also attracts kids. They come to dress up games to see the gorgeous clothes, cute costumes, impressive accessories. Teen girls, in contrast, like surfing internet for real information and try to run following the new fashion trend. And I’m one of them. However, I think all things need to suit us, about both our condition, appearance and finance. We can not become shopaholics.

At last, after walking a lot of fashion websites, I become to play games, however I still decide to plan my wardrobe, I will renew my dresses and accessories following the suggestions I read. Besides, I will use my savings to buy something for new school year.

OUTFITS FOR NEW YEAR PARTY

Barbie Dress up games

To welcome New Year 2013, my parents allow me to have a house party with my close friends at the weekend. I’m really happy when hearing that, I could prepare the party by myself. And I need to make plan right now.

Someone said that partying was an essential part of the typical college experience. From school party, picnic, camping to parties at home, there’s never any shortage of things to do at college. I’m a busy student so hardly I did not have enough time to join in all parties at school and at my friends’ house. I have a part-time job as a designer for a website of dress up games. Although I spend most of my free time on it, I really love this job. I also support for my studying. However, I still want to take part in outside activities with my friends. Therefore, this year, I decide to arrange my time for balance between my job and other activities. To begin with my plan, I have a New Year party at home with my friends.

Firstly, outfit is very important. My wardrobe is pretty but most of them are basic clothes meanwhile I need more party costumes. Immediately, I called my best friend to go shopping and update my wardrobe to include cute lovely tops, bottoms, dresses and accessories for special occasions. They are one of the wardrobe must.

I have a little experience in selecting clothes when I draw games for girls. I read and found a lot of new trend to re-draw so I also catch up with current fashion styles. The most important thing to me is finance, therefore I need some suitable with my condition. Besides, accessories are also an essential item to make our dresses or clothes prominent. To make them unique, I want some handmade. The best way is going to markets instead of shops, I can find numerous impressive things here. In addition, the price here is much cheaper. And I love it.

Because this is a house party and my parents will not be at home, I have to prepare food and drink for it. I will order pizza and go to supermarket to buy some drink and ingredients for my dishes. Now, I found that my job help me so much. Drawing dress up games helps me choose clothes better and easier. Sometimes, I draw cooking games, I must search recipes from the internet and describe then through images and step by step instructions. Hence, now cooking to me is quite easier, too and I know more recipes of unique and delicious dishes. I think my friends will be very surprised with my cooking skills. Moreover, I will call some friends coming earlier to help me decorate my house and arrange the table with full of food and drink.

Everything seems to be alright, I hope that my friends will love it. Maybe after this occasion, I will draw a game instructing players to choose outfits and arrange things for the parties at home. That might be a good idea to make it become true. Now, I’m looking forward to my party to welcome a happy new year.
