<br />
this is something i have always wanted to witness, and it was really worth the wait.<br />
<br />

I witnessed the perseid meteorite shower this happens ever year in August and can be seen from practically anywhere in the northern hemisphere. This august however is the best year for visibility with august 11th and 12th being the best nights.<br />
<br />
<br />
i managed to see around about 25 shooting stars on the 11th and it was one of the most majestic and humbling experiences i have ever witnessed.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans', HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What a weekend for meteor watching! The peak was supposed to be the morning of August 12, but the morning of August 13 turned out to be awesome, too. According to the International Meteor Organization, the zenithal hourly rate (ZHR) of meteors visible in a dark sky climbed as high as 150 in some places on the morning of August 13. That’s the number of meteors you would have seen under a very dark sky with the radiant of the shower at the sky’s zenith (highest point). Here’s the most important question at this time. Will you see more meteors on the morning of August 14? You might, although we’re now past the peak, and the Perseids typically fall off fairly rapidly after their peak – although this year seems to be an exception to that so far. The August 14 morning might be worth a try. As always, the hours between midnight and dawn are the best time for meteor-watching, no matter where you are on the globe.</em></span><br />

Having been frustrated that I was not able to obtain tickets for any of the London 2012 Olympic events I've been looking at other options. I was really looking forward to watching the Olympics in London however was unsuccessful in both the initial and secondary ticket draws which leaves me in a bit of a strange situation as a sports lover that thinks the Olympics are such a positive thing for Britain and British Sport.</div>

The Road Race involves completing multiple laps around the streets of London. The finish is on The Mall which will have grandstands which tickets are required for. However this does not stop you finding yourself a spot on the course outside a pub and vanish back into the pub for a drink every lap. The Cycling Road Race at London 2012 is designed so that laps take between 20-30 minutes therefore you can time your drinking and viewing the action.</div>

To preserve themselves, they'd need to transfer to a new host. Therefore, the last act of the nanobot zombie would be to bite a hole in a healthy victim, letting the nanobots steam in and set up camp in the new host. Once in, they can shut down the part of the brain that resists (the cortex) and leave the brain stem intact. They will have added a new member to the unholy army of the undead.</div><div align="center" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><img src="http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/wong/zombies5d.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Now, it should be more than clear by this point that our goal is to be responsible researchers.

the story of St. Patrick<br />

His father and grandfather were deacons </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 1.5em;"> in the Christian church. At the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken captive to Ireland as a slave.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 1.5em;"> It is believed he was held somewhere on the west coast of Ireland, possibly Mayo, but the exact location is unknown. According to his Confession, he was told by God in a dream to flee from captivity to the coast, where he would board a ship and return to Britain. Upon returning, he quickly joined the Church in Auxerre in Gaul and studied to be a priest.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">In 432, he again said that he was called back to Ireland, though as a bishop, to Christianise the Irish from their native polytheism . Irish folklore tells that one of his teaching methods included using the Shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the trinity to the Irish people. After nearly thirty years of evangelism , he died on 17 March 461, and according to tradition, was buried at Downpatrick. Although there were other more successful missions to Ireland from Rome, Patrick endured as the principal champion of Irish Christianity and is held in esteem in the Irish church.</div>wishes are freehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09447906868188509575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870350129728364250.post-89941219214429413782012-02-18T14:38:00.001-08:002012-02-18T14:39:42.588-08:00874 see stomp preform COMPLETE!!874. see STOMP! preform COMPLETE<br />

where do i begin<br />
STOMP! is every percussionists dream, and if your not a percussionist or drummer you'll wanna be after seeing STOMP!<br />
<br />
STOMP! is a percussion group with a difference, they only use household and everyday objects such as brooms, trash bins, tin cans, pretty much the kind of stuff your parents told you not to tap but your nan actively encouraged you to play as a toddler!<br />
<br />
i for one , being a drummer, have wanted to see this for a very long time now, i don't want this to sound too much like a review but it was awesome, they combined amazing rhythms with a carefully planned out plot so that each section ran almost like a story, then they injected just the right amount of humour and audience participation to keep everyone fully engaged. everyone in the theatre from small kids right through to OAP's seemed to be enjoying it, and for me and i suspect a few other drum types it was heaven, finally something that encourages you to not sit still and tap along and groove a rhythm with them!<br />
<br />
if you haven't seen it yet, it's fully recommended!!! if i had to give it marks out of 10 i would give it a strong 20+ it's that good! but you have to see it live.<br />
but here is a little taster of the kind of thing to expect<br />

<br />
for many of us the next week will comprise of making a resolution which we vow to keep only to break within the next week, not me not this year you see i'm not giving anything up! it's pointless i know i will not stick to it, simply because if i haven't committed to it before january 1st what are the odds i'm going to commit to it after?<br />
however i would like to get very excited about some developments for 2012 that are on the horizon and i see no reason why they won't happen you see i have already committed to them happening!<br />
I don't want to give too much away however paris, we have our routes and bicycles so watch out we're coming to get you!<br />
and i have a graphics tablet on reserve and some storyboards already drawn so 'create a comic book' is also one to look out for, as well as learn Spanish, learn piano, learn guitar, learn ukulele. (i'm only at a beginers stage with them but i am slowly progressing so it's progress never the less.<br />
<br />
so with all the excitements of 2012 looming i would like to reflect the last year, personally i have grown not just as a musician, but also as a person, i have learnt to let go of unimportant things, learnt to be more in the moment and most importantly i have learnt not to give up!<br />
<br />
this year saw me accomplish more list items as well as start a merchandise shop! this year i started training for our paris cycle, made balloon animals, started learning guitar,piano,ukulele, spanish and how to juggle. i carved jack-o-lanterns, taught a group of kids, interviewed children, played drums in-front of 8,000 people (possibly the highlight of my year) and survived nearly a full semester at university so in reflection this has been a great year! i am truly thankful for it, 2012 will be a much better one i can just feel it plus i know it will be as last summer i made 1000 origami cranes and they are a symbol of peace and prosperity so it defiantly going to be good.<br />
<br />
just a few words of inspiration for 2012<br />
<br />
if opportunity doesn't knock build a door<br />
<br />
men do less than they ought unless they do all that they can<br />
<br />
determined what shall and can be done and we shall find the way<br />
<br />
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take<br />
<br />
live each day as if it had just begun<br />
<br />
every nobel work is at first impossible<br />
<br />
storms make oaks take roots<br />
<br />
the only way of finding the limits of the possible is to go beyond them and make them impossible<br />
<br />
if you don not hope you will not find what is beyond your hopes<br />
<br />
fortune favours the brave<br />
<br />
he who dares wins<br />
<br />
man's best successes come after disappointmentswishes are freehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09447906868188509575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870350129728364250.post-52062417823398614552011-12-12T15:37:00.000-08:002011-12-12T15:37:15.140-08:00well as some of you will know the very reason my bucket list came into existence was after a careers advisor told me drumming or a career in music was a stupid idea ' yep she really said stupid' and since then i have added to change and even completed parts of my list.<br />
<br />
so i thought during this time of good will and merry bliss i would update you.<br />
i am now studying at university music of course,<br />
and have had the great fortune of playing with many talented musicians, recently i even had the pleasure of performing at birmingham's Nation indoor Arena in front of 8,000 on two consecutive nights and i can tell you that was a far from stupid career choice.<br />
<br />
however this journey and list has proved more than just me accomplishing some goals and having some fun, it has shown me that you need to dream now matter how stupid, small, big or insignificant they seem to others we all have dreams that we wish to accomplish. and when we try and put our dreams into motion even if they don't turn out exactly how we planned they can change our lives. not just how we live but our abilities and willingness to live.<br />
<br />
throughout this adventure of self discovery you awesome guys and gals have also been helping to raise some money for make a wish foundation so a big christmas thanks to you too, the children whose lives you have transformed with your generous donations have all dared to dream, so what is stopping you don't let circumstance stop you open my post how to create a bucket list and start yours today instead of giving something up for new years why not start a life transforming journey of self discovery instead?<br />
and of course don't forget to to donate via the link to the left of this page to help sick children's dreams come true!!!wishes are freehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09447906868188509575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870350129728364250.post-85175741496941006452011-10-30T06:51:00.000-07:002011-10-30T06:51:33.844-07:00#167 carve a jack o'lantern - COMPLETEso here it is folks!<br />

</div><div>2. cut the pieces that the light will shine through out using the scissors if there is a bit that needs scoring or not cut all the way through then use a different colour pen to indicate this for when you are carving</div><div><br />
</div><div>3. next cut a circle into the top of your pumpkin. this will be your lid so put it to one side but do not discard it. you may want to put some newspaper down and have hand wipes ready as the next bit is messy. </div><div><br />
</div><div>4. next take a scoop and remove ALL of the flesh from the insides it is messy you have been warned, separate the pips and the flesh into the two different bowls and containers. (keep both the flesh and the pips as they can be used later to make some tasty treats.</div><div><br />
</div><div>5. once your pumpkin is completely gutted give a wipe with a paper towel then lay your stencil on one side and draw through the hole you created remember to draw on the bits that need to be scored in too. if you want to carve free hand with no stencil or drawing that's fine.</div><div><br />
</div><div>6. next use your punch to make a small hole along where you are going to cut. (the punch makes it easier to get carving tools into the pumpkin) </div><div><br />
</div><div>7. cut all of your shapes out. be careful with any sharp tools you are using. cut into the pumpkin but not all the way through for scoring. (you will score any bits that you want light to shine through but not completely cut out. and also bits that if you do cut all the way through parts of the pumpkin would fall off,)</div><div><br />
</div><div>8. once you have completed carving give the pumpkin a wipe to get rid of excess flesh then light a tea candle and place inside the pumpkin and place the lid back on top.</div><div>finish. </div><div><br />
</div><div>remember those pumpkin flesh and pumpkin seeds i told you to keep well why not check out pumpkin pie and pumpkin soup pages for recipes on using your flesh. the lightly bake the seeds in an oven for a healthy snack or add to the top of your soup and pie. </div>wishes are freehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09447906868188509575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870350129728364250.post-45070253635002074512011-10-28T07:08:00.000-07:002011-10-28T07:13:00.747-07:00toffee/ caramel-ed applesapple bobbing and toffee apples are great seasonal treats for any halloween party and are great for bon fire night too (uk mainly)<br />

have you thought about drinks.<br />
here is a great idea for a drink that looks great for kids parties and tastes even better.<br />
<br />
what you need:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>ice cream of your choice ( vanilla and mint work best for ghoul icescream) </li>
<li>fizzy drinks (lemonade is better but you can use anything including coca-cola)</li>
<li>food colouring (blood red, ghostly green, black,yellow anything you like)</li>
<li>scary sweet/candy (jelly snakes and spiders work well or even white chocolate mice) </li>
<li>...or add fruit for the healthy option. </li>
</ul><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUIikjBfvdFYwYGJAItEmQcdTgHPFyB6y8JvhwHXZgzsM9-Gkvx8Mumueni-5kB2VOh2CLbLqGMHR_ssQ42LdfcS3K_sUUA2hZDva7WMQ6hqx3caEPcxV715S8_K55Ko0kkUDgXtGAGY/s1600/sundae+glass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUIikjBfvdFYwYGJAItEmQcdTgHPFyB6y8JvhwHXZgzsM9-Gkvx8Mumueni-5kB2VOh2CLbLqGMHR_ssQ42LdfcS3K_sUUA2hZDva7WMQ6hqx3caEPcxV715S8_K55Ko0kkUDgXtGAGY/s1600/sundae+glass.jpg" /></a>first take a large sundae glass or a tall glass if you don't have either ask an adult if they have a pint glass you could borrow.</div><div>fill it about two thirds with your chosen ice cream flavor you could even mix more than one ice cream flavor together to see what different effects you get.</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />

</div><div>you can add different food colouring to create different effects and colours.</div><div><br />

When you're happy with how you positioned and spaced the flaps, allow the glue on your paper pumpkin to dry completely. You will discover that once the glue has set, the flaps will be more rigid and your paper pumpkin a lot sturdier.</span><br />

Create a cone hat out of black construction paper for a witch's hat or blue/purple construction paper for a wizard's hat following these <a href="http://www.firstpalette.com/tool_box/quick_how_to/Cone_Hat/Cone_Hat.html" style="color: #0033cc; text-decoration: underline;" title="How to make a Basic Cone Hat">instructions</a>.<br />
<br />
Note that you have the option to make a cone from a half circle or a quarter circle. A half circle makes a cone with a wide base, making it more flexible towards base width adjustments. A quarter circle makes a tall and slim hat. It's good to practice making the quarter circle cone on newspapers first since the resulting hat's narrow base won't allow for much adjustment.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<br />
this is on my list because well i have never succeeded in creating a jack o'lantern that is worthy of sitting on the front door. Mine have always looked like someone has melted it's face, so how or why will this year be any different? well im older than i was when i last 'created' a jack o'lantern, i have a little more dexterity and i have designed a stencil to copy this time around.so the plan is fool proof- well maybe not fool proof i am after all the fool who came up with the plan!<br />
<br />
i thought i would share some basic history of halo-ween with you (according to Wikipedia anyway) just to get you pumped after i have carved my lantern and can tick this item off i will add some more facts for you and maybe some pictures! so send us your best haloween disguises!<br />
