Making Your Super Bowl Party More Eco-Friendly
January 30, 2011 One comment View all articles in General
Super Bowl parties are a sacred tradition for plenty of Americans. Your carbon footprint probably hasn't made your list of priorities on game days past, but that doesn't mean you can't start a new tradition and make this year's Super Bowl party less harmful to the environment. Other how-to guides may have you re-using chicken bones as toothpicks or putting a limit on the number of times your guests are allowed to flush the toilet, but making your Super Bowl party more eco-friendly doesn't require such drastic (or weird) changes. Just put any or all of the following suggestions into action on Super Bowl Sunday and you'll still have a fun, worry-free, Green Bay.
Arrange a Carpool: Instead of having guests drive themselves individually to your house, arrange a carpool for them to arrive in fewer cars. This will not only save parking space and fuel costs, it will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion. You can spend your afternoon driving around town picking up each guest or you can just recruit the friend with the biggest SUV to do it for you.
Use Human Heat: With the extra people in your house, you'll be able to turn your thermostat down 5-10 degrees, saving energy and money. Remind guests to turn their own thermostats down before they leave their homes.
Decorate Wisely:
- Before you buy decorations for your Super Bowl party, do you have anything in your closet or garage that can be used instead? They don't necessarily have to be football- or even Super Bowl-themed; they could be leftover Chinese lanterns from your garden party or strings of LED lights from your Christmas tree.
- Have you asked your friends if they have any reusable decorations you can borrow for the big day?
- Instead of spending money on balloons, paper streamers, or plastic necklaces and accumulating waste, make your cooking the decorations: frost cakes and cookies with team colors or mold foods like Jell-o, Rice Krispies Treats, meatballs, or cheese logs into football shapes.
- Make your guests the decorations and have face-painting an activity at your Super Bowl party. For an eco-friendly face paint, mix together one part cold cream with two parts cornstarch or baby powder, add a little bit of water, then divide it up, and add food coloring.
- Many decorations, as long as they're in fairly good condition – not broken, soiled, or unusable, can be donated to local organizations like Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
Don't Choose Delivery: Pizza retailers see a dramatic sales increase on Super Bowl Sunday. While clean pizza boxes are accepted by most recycling centers, those soaked with oil, sauce, and cheese are not. If pizza is already on your menu this year, you can always make it yourself or buy it from a local take-and-bake pizzeria.
Buy in Bulk: Create less packaging waste and save money by buying as many menu items in bulk as you can. If your menu happens to include beer and you've invited a large crowd over, don't be so quick to discredit the economy of a keg: it can hold 165 12-ounce containers of beer and rented or purchased, it can be refilled and used over and over again.
Buy Local: Get locally grown produce, locally raised meat products, and locally brewed beer. Your neighborhood Whole Foods Market has a wide variety of wings and party platters on sale at the moment, or you can search the Local Harvest website for local co-ops and farms to purchase from. If you don't know where to find locally brewed beer, simply visit Real Beer's website and enter your zip code.
Use Silverware and Dishware: Any online search results for 'Green Super Bowl Party' will tell you to recycle or re-use your plastic cups, plates, and utensils. But wouldn't it make more sense to just use your own dishes and cutlery and then wash them after everyone leaves? You'll be saving money and keeping waste out of the landfill.
Sort Recyclables: Put out separate bins for glass, plastic, paper and cardboard, aluminum, and compostable material for your guests to use during the party. You'll save yourself the time and agony of sorting through all the trash after everyone has left.
Clean Green:
- Offer your guests cloth, recycled paper, or biodegradable napkins. Be sure to put the latter two into your compost pile so they can mix with food waste and become mulch.
- Do you have accident-prone friends who often spill food and drinks on your furniture? Be sure to have an eco-friendly stain cleaner like Bio Kleen Bac-Out at the ready.
Use Leftovers:
- If you have unopened food products such as potato chips or canned chili, take them to a local homeless shelter or food bank.
- If you have lots of half-eaten leftovers, put them in airtight containers and freeze them.
- Tell your friends to bring Tupperware containers to the party so they can take home leftovers and keep you from eating junk food for the rest of the week.

Some people call this elevator statement, some people call this positioning. Basically, what are the words that go with the business card? As the business card is given to someone, what words are coming out of your mouth?
So, the first thing I've realised is, for me personally, because I'm, I guess I'm a bit of a synaptic, organic, creative, destructive, all over the place person, I don't want to be boxed down to say these words when I give the business card, but as a result, I'm not being consistent.
Every time I turn up, I'm not necessarily nailing what I want to achieve and I'm not necessarily creating the outcome I want, and that's what forced me into the study of this as such an important idea. I don't want to be boxed in, but I have to be a little bit more structured and organised.
Three Reasons
I think there are three reasons why you would bother to tell someone what you do. Now, there's obviously going to be more than three, but these are the three that I think are critical.
Be Remembered
The first thing is I want to be remembered. I want you to know who I am. And I see people put photos on business cards in an attempt to be memorable. Now, it's my opinion that that's a bad move, but that's just my opinion. The reason why I think it's a bad move is that I think if you suck so much in your meeting that it takes a photo of you to be remembered, you need to work on how you introduce yourself. And I just say that so that you know where I stand on that.
Be Understood
So, the second thing is I want to really be understood, which means I don't kind of understand myself first. So, a big part of this is for you to achieve some clarity around what exactly it is you do and how it's unique or differentiated from other people.
Be Recommended
How you understand me, is key to the third part, which is about business. Honestly, for me, that is what it's about. It's "I want to be recommended".
So, if you remember me, understand me and recommend me, we're done. The whole introduction has served its purpose.

Beyond the Classroom
Regis students have many age-appropriate opportunities for educational and personal growth outside of the classroom. These offerings allow the boys a chance to learn together in a less structured environment.
- Advisory
- Field Trips
- Fifth and Sixth Grade Class Trips
- Seventh and Eighth Grade Class Trips
- Social Awareness Days
- Writers In The Schools (WITS)
Field Trips
Regis lower and middle school students embark on age-appropriate field trips during the school year. Often these field trips reinforce topics learned in their curriculum, and, of course, offer a fun way to learn outside the classroom. Past destinations have included Bayou Bend, Oil Ranch, Houston Zoo, and The Health Museum.
Fifth and Sixth Grade Class Trips
Each year, Regis fifth and sixth grade students embark on a three-day outdoor adventure. In keeping with Sacred Heart Goal IV (the building of community as a Christian value), as well as Goal V (personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom), the experience allows Regis boys a chance to bond as they work together to accomplish goals and challenges. During their trip, they also have a chance to reflect and learn about becoming better stewards of God's creation. Past destinations have included Camp Champions and McKinney Roughs Nature Park.
Seventh and Eighth Grade Class Trips
After a yearlong study of Texas history, our seventh grade students embark on a trip to many important Texas historic sites that have included the missions around San Antonio, the San Jacinto monument, the Battleship Texas, and others.
The eighth grade students culminate their studies of U.S. History with a visit to Washington, D.C. While there, the boys visit many important cultural and historical sites.
These faculty-chaperoned trips give students a chance to learn more about the larger world around us, to deepen their personal relationships, and to enjoy new experiences. These trips are excellent opportunities to live out Sacred Heart Goal IV (the building of community as a Christian value) and Goal V (personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom).
Social Awareness Days
All Regis students (3 Pre-K through eighth grade) and faculty participate in two dedicated social awareness days each school year. The fall event is focused on helping others in our community while the spring event is committed to helping the environment. Third through eighth grade students travel throughout Houston to participate in off-campus activities. All students engage in meaningful, age-appropriate activities to help increase their awareness and understanding of the great needs around us as they live out Sacred Heart Goal III (a social awareness that impels to action).
Writers In The Schools (WITS)
Writers In The Schools (WITS) is an enrichment program that offers weekly writing workshops to more than 20,000 children a year. At Regis, the WITS program is offered in third, fifth, seventh, and eighth grades. Each WITS lesson at Regis is led by a professional author working in cooperation with Regis faculty to develop creative, imaginative writers. Students enjoy a WITS field trip to the Menil Collection each spring where they participate in a tour of the collection followed by a creative writing opportunity related to the artworks they have seen.

At the start of each year, I have this fear that I won't shoot anything interesting this year. So it was relief when I ran the script today and three pictures from 2015 had made the top 500.
|Spray Lakes by Moonlight
Drove up to the spray lakes to take a shot of the Lights of Canmore, while there I spun around and took a shot of the north end of the Spray Lakes Reservoir. It was a full moon or close to it, but the moon was behind the misty clouds that acted like a big diffuser. This was an 8 second tripod exposure at 200 ISO.
Had been warm that day, but temperature had dropped to -15 or so and the ice was cracking loudly. Freaky.
|Lights of Canmore
The reason we had driven up the Spray Lakes was for this view. Had shot something similar, free hand with my point & shoot as a 100km shot post Goat Creek in 2013. Knew it would be better with the K5-IIs and a tripod.
Didn't know how the fact that it was snowing in Canmore would affect the shot, would we be able to see the town at all? Still you don't know if you don't try. Glad we did, the snow above the town created a wonderful glow.
|Mixed Space
A shot of the underside of Macleod Trail where it crosses Fish Creek Park.
Used a couple of different filters to contract the natural and the concrete in the space.

The obesity rates are high in America. Just take a look at some of the facts from the CDC. 36.5% of adults in this country have obesity. It's probably on the rise too. It's sad, but should not be surprising. Fast food, ineffective diets, and psychological issues contribute to this statistic.
Usually you hear that all you need to do to lose weight is diet and exercise. That's generally true, though there can be other factors that make losing weight harder. Genetics, body chemistry, or other physiological issues can make it nearly impossible to lose weight even if you are doing everything right. Metabolism also plays an important role as efficient metabolisms are really good at storing fat even when eating right.
We do have tools to help get the job done. The BMI standard, which is really just a guide, can help you determine what weight you should be at to stay healthy based on your age and height. It doesn't take into account fat vs. muscle mass., so you could still be fat but at the right weight, technically speaking. That's the situation in. I'm at a good BMI, but I still have too much body fat. I never really cared about it enough to do anything about it until a few years ago, when I started playing Wii Fit. I began losing weight gradually, from around 155 pounds to what I'm at now at about 143.5 pounds.
I've talked about my body weight with my friend Mark Mushakian often in the past. His feeling is that any excess body fat is bad. I don't feel like my body is unhealthy, but I do realize that I could use some more muscle. My advice, if you are overweight to the extent that it's becoming a real problem, you should get help. I know it's not easy, be it fear, pride, or some other reason, we can feel like getting help isn't an option.
What you need to do if figure out why you are overweight. Is it bad eating habits? Are you using food to feel better cuz you are bored, have anxiety, or worried/scared of something? It may surprise you, but you could be over eating because of a psychological issue. It doesn't make you crazy, actually it's perfectly normal. Occasional I catch myself eating something because I don't want to feel anxious. If you have tried exercise and a healthy diet and are still overweight, one reason might be because you are avoiding an uncomfortable feeling.
If that's not your issue, there may be something physiological wrong. Like maybe your metabolism is sabotaging you, like I mentioned earlier. Some people have a biological reason they have trouble losing weight. Obviously you should talk to your doctor to rule out any physical or biological issue that might be the problem. Then you can think about the potential of a behavioral issue.
Bill Maher's show Reel Time on HBO brought up this issue, bringing up a political side. He argues that both The Right and The Left in politics are both enablers, allowing the obesity epidemic to continue. The Left wants to protect people's feelings while The Right doesn't want to feel like someone is telling them what to eat, was his point, essentially.
I'm personally torn in this issue. Body weight and type are personal and most of us don't like to talk about it. It's certainly not nice to use a person's body as an insult or use negative motivation to try to get someone to change their behavior. It often is received as bullying, which just makes things worse. Yet in comedy, weight can be used as the subject of jokes. Take Christ Christie for example. Late night comedians have used his body type as a subject of their jokes quite a bit. Take the most recent example of the Governor and the beach scandal. One person's personal experience dealing with a fat joke.
Some people think that by insulting and humiliating people will get them to change their behavior. It never works as far as I know. People won't change because you point out a problem they have and then tell them how horrible they are. It may make them want to eat more in order to feel better or avoid facing what real issues they may have. Ridiculing and insulting people in general is down right mean.
It's better to try to be understanding. Walk a mile in their shoes, as the old saying goes. At the same time, we can't make being overweight something that is okay, because it is a significant health issue. Being overweight increases the chance of getting certain diseases later in life. It causes stress on some internal organs and makes the body work harder. That can lead to other problems down the line. While it feels better to enable people with weight problems, it's not good for them in the long run.
At the end of the day, we should all want to be healthy. No excuses. Work on yourself, be a good example. Bullying, shaming, and other negative social behavior is not going to solve anything. At the same time, leaving things the way they are isn't the answer. Better education, healthcare, and positive motivation is the better way. Being fat for some can feel like a prison sentence. It comes without a lot of dangers but also social stigma. Let's not demonize people who are overweight, but encourage them to get fit through positive social behavior. What do ya say?

Chances are, if you're reading this, you're a brand, blogger or editor, looking for a freelance lifestyle writer to help you with modern day content creation. Hopefully…your search is over!
My name is Eilidh MacRae and I'm a freelance lifestyle content creator, based in Bristol. As the editor of a beauty focused magazine, a content curator and creator for a handful of unique and super current brands, and a ghost writer for up and coming fashion and beauty bloggers, my skills are vast, but my focus very clear: to create lifestyle focused content that doesn't just work for its purpose, it excels.
I cover three main areas: editorial content for print, such as magazines and lookbooks, digital content for marketing purposes, including blog posts and social posts, and finally I ghost write for lifestyle bloggers.
I work a little differently to your traditional freelance writer; while I offer bespoke projects and work on a monthly basis for a handful of brands, magazines and bloggers, I also have an online store, which enables you to place an order as and when you need. I'm a firm believer that in this day and age, pricing should be transparent, and services should be made as easy to order as possible. For those of you who know exactly what you need, you can order online easily and efficiently, but I do ask if we haven't worked together before, that you get in touch before you place an order.
My background…
My dream to become a writer started in 1995, when I was seven years old. At 22 I graduated with a BA Hons in Creative and Media Writing, and soon after began working for a digital marketing agency. Learning the ropes, a few years on I decided I wanted to work for companies I was truly passionate about, and so set up my own business, creating content for lifestyle brands.
In 2014 I was made editor of Vitality magazine in a freelance position, the members' magazine for the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology. To date I have worked for a variety of lifestyle companies and publications, working specifically for fashion, beauty, health/fitness, interior design, travel and bridal brands.
Four years after making that leap to freelance, I'm still loving what I do, which is projected through my work and the results I have achieved.

Cohn empire makes a splash in I.B.
The Cohn Restaurant Group is like Starbucks, without the bitter aftertaste. Both chains are ubiquitous, consistent and often harbingers of an area's up-and-coming status.
Sure, CRG is in Balboa Park and the Gaslamp, Liberty Station and Hillcrest. But from Oceanside to La Mesa, to Escondido and now to Imperial Beach, David and Lesley Cohn also venture into places — atop a car dealership, anyone? — other restaurateurs wouldn't consider.
Take their latest venture, Sea 180° Coastal Tavern, at the new Pier South Resort in Imperial Beach. When was the last time a splashy restaurant opened in Imperial Beach?
Already a hit with hotel guests and I.B. locals (two tables were celebrating a birthday on a recent night), it's an audacious salvo the Cohns are lobbing at the rest of San Diego. Beyond, perhaps, a longer-than-usual drive south, there's no excuse not to try it.
Where else in the county can you sit literally inches from the sand, and be in a sophisticated restaurant? Choose between the sleek, pretty patio, outfitted with heaters and a fire pit, or the contemporary beachy blue and brown dining room with spectacular water views from every table.
If the setting isn't reward enough, many of the dishes coming out of chef Ken Irvine's kitchen soar to culinary heights that put Sea 180° on the same level with any of the county's best restaurants.
(It's impossible to determine the impact the recent loss of sous chef Jack Fisher has had on the kitchen; both of my visits came after his departure for downtown San Diego's JSix.)
One of the best pasta dishes — make that one of the best dishes — I've had in a while, didn't have pasta at all. Spaghetti-thin "zucchini noodles" make a healthy bed for pillow-soft calamari rings gently blanketed in garlicky green olive pistou. I'd drive hours for that.
Roasted black mussels came with a metal sand pail for the empty shells. Eschew the pail and use those shells to drink in heavenly broth perfumed with house-made chorizo, lager, Thai red curry and melted leeks.
Even if you're sick of Brussels in this Brussels-crazy town, don't pass up Sea 180°'s fire-roasted version. Smokey and sweet, they're good enough to extend the trend even longer. The same goes for the black truffle mac 'n' cheese, creamy, perfectly al dente elbows with a light, crispy baked cheese top. Had it 100 times before? Make it 101.
My Wagyu cheeseburger was also memorable, though more for the sweet bacon jam and crispy, thin herb fries with lime aioli. Vegetables and salads don't get any fresher than from Suzie's Farm, practically right down the street. And Baja-Med influences extend from the menu to the pleasing, global wine list.
Not all goes swimmingly at Sea 180°, however. Several dishes came out of the kitchen underseasoned (pulpo flatbread, for example), some were shy on sauce (like the otherwise tasty gingered pulled pork empanadas), a handful completely lacked flavor (such as frozen Meyer lemon mousse).
These are inexplicable lapses for an operation that produces such stellar food. It's like the kitchen is holding itself back. And there's no excuse for that.

Vietnam's embattled prime minister has survived a key Vietnamese Communist Party meeting that exposed the regime to rare scrutiny, provoking a backlash yesterday from the country's increasingly bold political bloggers.
In an attempt to deflect increasing online criticism of a string of scandals that have touched the country's leadership, Vietnam's secretive political mandarins issued an unusual rebuke against their own performance.
The 14-member politburo — the party's key decisionmaking body — "seriously criticized themselves and honestly admitted their mistakes," Vietnamese Communist Party Secretary-General Nguyen Phu Trong said in a speech on Monday.
However, the communist chiefs stopped short of punishing Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, 62.
The party's 175-member Central Committee decided not to impose disciplinary measures "for the whole politburo and a member of the politburo," Trong said after a meeting that lasted for almost two weeks, in what was seen as a thinly veiled reference to Dung.
The committee urged the party "to repair shortcomings and weaknesses in order to build a purer, stronger, truly revolutionary party that has flesh-and-blood links with the people," he added.
Despite the unusual self-criticism, Dung's position appears secure for now, observers said.
"The Vietnamese prime minister has been sharply censured by the Communist Party politburo, but has retained his post," IHS Global Insight Asia-Pacific chief economist Rajiv Biswas said.
"There is now considerable political pressure on the Vietnamese government to stabilize their economy and take urgent measures to resolve their domestic banking sector crisis," he added.
Rising public dissatisfaction — expressed through an increasingly spirited political blogosphere — has put Dung under growing pressure over corruption and the country's deepening economic malaise.
Bloggers, a hugely popular news source in the heavily-censored one-party state, expressed strong disappointment that the communist chiefs did not do more to hold leaders to account for their missteps.
The party "has missed a huge opportunity," prominent blogger Osin Huy Duc said. "The prime minister was again given the power by the central committee, but it's the sort of power that was gained by turning one's back against the people."
Fellow blogger Huynh Ngoc Chenh credited the party with "a step towards democracy."
"However, coming 80 years after it was established with the initial goal of fighting for national independence and democracy, that first step is too late, too small and too timid," he added.
Under Dung, authorities have sought to crack down on bloggers with a series of harsh jail sentences.
The former central bank governor, whose second five-year term was approved by parliament in July last year, is said to have become the country's most powerful prime minister ever.
Seen as a modernizer when first appointed, he pushed for rapid economic growth and relied on state-owned giants to drive the economy.
However, the near-collapse of scandal-tainted shipping behemoth Vinashin in 2010 put the spotlight on the financial troubles of the state-owned companies.
Vietnam is now grappling with slowing economic growth, resurgent inflation, falling foreign direct investment and rising fears about toxic banking debts.
"The widening political rifts within the Vietnamese leadership may hamper the momentum for economic reforms, given the prime minister has been regarded as a key leader of the reform process," Biswas said.

text:
After a mile or so walking along the Grand Union Canal towards Bulls Bridge and Hayes I leave the waterway at the Bridge carrying Norwood Road from Southall toward Norwood Green passing the Lamb Pub on the opposite bank. I cross Norwood Green itself, a pretty viilage green, from which the area takes its name and refuel in the wonderful Plough Pub in Tentelow Lane before striking out along a public footpath which starts near the pub and across ploughed fields towards Osterley Park.
At the end of the footpath I join Osterley Lane and cross over the M4 Motorway observing the 'the tower blocks of my home town' as sung by Paul Simonon of the Clash. In my case its Heston not Brixton that I am perusing, however.
What I find so fantastic each time I do this walk is that beneath the planes flying in to Heathrow and next to the tower blocks there are still ploughed fields and a bona fide farm at Osterley. Gradually or otherwise so many of the green spaces that have thus far escaped the developer are being destroyed. It would be heartbreaking to loose this patch of rural landscape for me as I have played on it since childhood and still do now.

Just because you love your pet, doesn't mean you have to love everything he or she does.
Bad pet behavior can do more than just destroy your property and disrupt the peace in your home. It can stand in the way of you developing that all important human-animal bond and make it difficult to embrace your pet as an integral member of the family.
If you're struggling with bad pet behavior, you're not alone. The team at Alpine at Noah's Ark Animal Hospital can help. We offer professional behavioral counseling services to help overcome bad behavior and bring out the balanced, well-behaved family member you know your pet is capable of becoming.
The key to dealing with negative behaviors is uncovering the root cause. Animals act out for a number of reasons, and many times a bad behavior can be merely a symptom of a much bigger problem. Conversely, there are many common illnesses that have symptoms which mimic bad behavior, such as bladder control issues. The first step in helping to overcome your pet's bad habits is getting to the bottom of what's causing them in the first place.
Once we've ruled out any potential medical cause, and we've pinpointed the exact problem we're dealing with, we can then provide you with the education, tools and support you need to help your pet overcome their behavior problems once and for all. Through a number of proven behavior modification techniques, such as repetition and positive reinforcement, you'll begin to see real, lasting results.
Some of the behavior issues we can assist with include:
If you're struggling with bad pet behavior, don't waste another moment. Give us a call right away to schedule a behavioral evaluation. We'll work with you to get to the bottom of why your pet is acting out and develop a real, actionable plan to address and overcome that bad behavior once and for all.

CHICAGO (CBS) — U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk's personal physician, Dr. Jay Alexander, was the first doctor to assess the senator's symptoms on Saturday. He also helped make the decision that surgery was needed to remove a piece of Kirk's skull and relieve the pressure from swelling on his brain after Kirk suffered a stroke.
Alexander, a cardiologist, recounted the 12 hours in which Kirk's life dramatically changed this weekend during an interview with CBS 2's Derrick Blakley.
Alexander and Kirk are also friends and Alexander fondly remembered Kirk's dedication, enthusiasm and warmth.
"I turned 60 about two weeks ago and he was at my birthday party and he was full of life and happy and we were joking," Alexander said.
But Kirk wasn't joking when he called Alexander on Saturday while driving, complaining of serious symptoms.
"He felt light-headed, he felt like he might pass out and … noticed a change in his vision, where we was seeing white spots flickering in front of his eyes," Alexander said.
At the time, Alexander was on duty at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, and he asked Kirk to meet him there. Alexander ordered a CT angiogram, which revealed a dissection, or tear in an artery supplying blood to Kirk's brain.
"As blood passes through it, it pushes … that tear further up the artery and eventually causes the artery to actually occlude, or block," Alexander said.
By 3 p.m. Saturday, Kirk was admitted to Lake Forest, and placed on bed rest and blood thinners. But by 9 p.m., his condition worsened and Alexander suspected he was in the middle of a stroke.
"He was showing fluctuating neurological signs. His numbness and tingling was much more intense on the left side of his body," Alexander said.
Kirk was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in downtown Chicago on Sunday. Alexander rode with Kirk in the ambulance, holding Kirk's hand.
"I kept talking about, you know, the things that are good about him; which is that he was healthy and young and that he could handle this," Alexander said.
That's still what alexander believes. He also said that Kirk could have done little to anticipate or avert the stroke.
"This was just one of those life events that you can't predict, nor can you probably prevent," Alexander said.
Alexander said he's sure Kirk will suffer a bout of depression over his condition at some point, but he's equally sure Kirk will regroup and work hard to regain as much of his physical abilities as he possibly can.

"Not all the Twitter Birds want to tweet about the Olympics" Sprite told me "and they said probably nearly all the Twitter trending topics will be about the Olympics.
So they have set up an Un-Olympics Bower on my blog where they are going to keep on reading books and writing and doing science stuff and painting and playing the sort of music that isn't popular with most people and then tweeting about that.
They said they have made their bower with non-interlocking rings so that they won't breach any IOC copyright stuff – See
I said they could do it. I hope that's OK with you?"
"No problem!" I said "I do like watching some of the Olympic sports on TV but I don't want it to be to the exclusion of everything else"
Australians love their sport and their sports stars.
See The ABC program Sporting Nation http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/sportingnation.htm
On 25 July 2011, the day of the first of the hearings for the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into the Education of Gifted and Talented Students, http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/etc/article/1339
the front page news was
Cadel Evans wins Tour de France
This led Carmel Meehan, President of the VAGTC, to say during her evidence
"We celebrate people like Cadel Evans. He had a problem that he has solved in a physical way, and we have him on the front page of our papers today. We have people like Gustav Nossal and people who are working in stem cell research in our universities and who are doing brilliant work, but we do not see much of that on the front page of the paper. Our gifted and talented students are the resource that we have to solve those problems and the people who tomorrow will be at the cutting edge of helping humanity to survive."
"We acknowledge our sporting heroes. We have a very good model for acknowledging excellence in our sporting domains. That could be transposed very easily into celebration of academic excellence, problem-solving, music and arts. In this country if we have good leadership in acknowledging gifted and talented people and celebrating their successes in the way that we celebrate our sporting heroes' successes, then we are well on the way to having a very smart next generation coming through.
What we are looking for is equity for all the fields, whether it be in sport, arts, dance, mathematics and science, or whatever. In a level playing field let us celebrate it all, not one at the expense of the other."
On 12 August 2011 Cadel Evans was given a street parade through Melbourne http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2011/08/11/3291187.htm
However we were not given a public holiday to celebrate his victory.
When Alan Bond's yacht Australia II, with its winged keel designed by Ben Lexcen and Boxing Kangaroo flag, won the Americas Cup in 1983 then Prime Minister Bob Hawke famously proclaimed "Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum."
I used to get annoyed that SBS would take one of my favourite TV programs Letters and Numbers off air in order to screen the Tour de France but this year the announcement is even more upsetting
Audience Announcement on their website http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/lettersandnumbers says
SBS has made a decision to rest Letters and Numbers and develop other programs so we can continue to offer new, great content to our audiences. The last episode will be transmitted on June 27.
Following Tour de France, Countdown – the UK version of Letters and Numbers – will air at 5:45pm weekdays.
Lily Serna, one of the shows stars, is working on a new show with SBS, Destination Flavour. SBS hopes the appetite for Letters and Numbers will be satisfied with the very popular UK series Countdown.
When I was young the quiz shows of the day, such as Pick a Box, had challenging questions and worthy champions such as Barry Jones.
Many of today's quiz and game shows have become so trivialised and given such an emphasis on celebrities and pop culture that they do not appeal to me at all.
Letters and Numbers is one show that has not been dumbed down. I hope the 'rest period' of the show will be very short and the genuine locally produced Australian show will return soon!
Victorians love their Australian Rules football.
I grew up in Geelong. In those days Geelong was the only team outside Melbourne in the Victorian Football League and the people of Geelong and the surrounding country areas of the state were enthusiastic supporters of Geelong's team, the Cats.
It was essential for my father to be able to discuss football in order to relate to his clients and I was very interested in the Geelong team.
But my mother, who was a physiotherapist and a proud member of the Women Graduates Association in the days when very few women graduated from university, had no interest at all in the football.
One of her favourite news columnists was Keith Dunstan and she was delighted when he created the Anti-Football League that pokes fun at the obsession with Australian Rules football. The chief qualification for membership is not an active dislike but a disinterest in football, a desire to spend one's time and conversation on other things. Members could wear a badge to indicate that they would like to have conversations on topics other than football.
My mother was quick to purchase the badge in the shape of a square football and happy that the proceeds of the sales of the badges were donated to the Berry Street Babies Home. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Football_League
So I can very readily appreciate the Twitter Birds need for an Un-Olympics Bower and happy that Sprite is giving them a place to set it up. And as part of the July Creativity challenge I will assist them to hold Un-Olympics gatherings in the Un-Olympics Bower.

A quick listen to Sleepwalkers' 2014 album Greenwood Shade might make you double-check the release date. Led by brothers Michael and Austin York, the Richmond, Va. quartet sounds like it could've emerged from California circa '77. The production is richer than chocolate cake, with a miles-deep rhythm section, creamy piano, and airtight, passionate harmonies. But there are modern touches spread throughout the album, too — a serrated guitar riff here, an effects-laden vocal there. Overall, think Fleet Foxes meets vintage Fleetwood Mac.
That throwback sound is completely intentional, by the way. In an age where many bands say they didn't deliberately sit down and talk about what kind of sound they should have, singer/songwriter/guitarist Michael says he knew exactly what he wanted. "Me personally, I'm a huge fan of that lush, 1970s production style, from McCartney to Michael McDonald," he says. "We wanted to incorporate those sounds but sort of put a modern spin on it. I wanted to make sure there was some depth to it, where you could blast it in your car, but if you listen to it at one-percent volume on headphones, you can still hear the trebly parts and the harmonies."
Michael and Austin wouldn't have been able to achieve their vintage production vision without Alex DeJong, an engineer at White Star Sound, where Greenwood Shade was recorded. Michael says that after two years of recording their own material, he and Austin, who share songwriting duties in Sleepwalkers, were more or less clueless about how to use a studio. Michael says, "We had no idea what we were doing when it came to engineering. They had this great console, and we didn't know what to do with it. Our finished songs sounded like demos."
He adds, "Finally, the owner of White Star recommended that we work with Alex. He started recording us and helping us deconstruct songs. He dialed everything in for us, got the tones for us, and gave us a lot more depth. It was a learning experience for us. He taught us real production and helped make the vision we had possible. And then about six months later, he started performing with us."
Michael says that the band, which now includes DeJong on drums and guitarist/keyboardist Brad Heath, devoted the most attention to their vocal harmonies, often spending hours perfecting vocals on one single track. "Oh gosh, we could probably make a whole anthology of those harmony sessions," Michael says. "It was just take after take in the studio. We would have an idea for the group vocals and then work on them until we hashed them out. But that's because [the vocals] are the most important thing. The vocals have to have the right feeling."
Despite the attention to detail, the album didn't take as long to make as it could have; all told, they needed two weeks to record and three days for mixing. And that's chiefly because, since forming in 2013, the band worked for months on their sound. Some of the songs on Greenwood Shade date back even to pre-Sleepwalkers days. "It felt like we had all of our lives to write and think about what we wanted to do. And there was no outside pressure; it was all up to us," Michael says.
In addition to Greenwood Shade, Sleepwalkers' has two Christmas releases under their belt, 2013's Merry Christmas EP and the 2014 single "Under the Christmas Tree," and the band is emphatic about keeping the product coming. "In this day and age, everyone's A.D.D.," Michael says. "So the business model of a band should be to release as much music as possible. Our philosophy is, 'Put out a record, tour a bit, but don't be slackers when it comes to regular releases.' I think it's important to put out as much as possible so people don't just lose interest."
Given the studio wizardry that the band has achieved, it's reasonable to wonder if they have a problem reproducing their sound live. Michael says that it's a challenge, but they rely on technology and discipline to make it through. "Every night's a bit different, but we use a few samples and some vocal processors to make up for it," he says. "But to me it's about the components of the song: rhythm, lyrics, and melody. I think if the songs are good enough, you can pull it off. And I'm really a fan of the songs being played the same live as they are on the record."
Well, maybe not exactly the same. "The only thing that would be different is maybe my guitar playing," Michael laughs. "I still have a little Angus Young in me. I like to go crazy here and there and be a certified shredder."
