The Big Bang To Start the Games

29 Aug 2012

Just as the Olympics 2012 have come to an end, the Paralympic Games are about to begin! Much like for the Olympic opening ceremony, London did not miss a beat and brought the games in with a dazzling bang, literally!

This year’s theme was the very fitting topic of Enlightenment that explored the great discoveries made throughout science; And who better to make an appearance but none other than the creator of the Big Bang Theory, world-renowned physicist Steven Hawking! Of course, the opening ceremony could not be complete without the grand appearance of the royal family, all of whom were in attendance to cheer on the teams.

London Mayor Boris Johnson was also one of the lucky attendees and shared his idea that the Paralympic Games is about more than just competition, it’s also an example for making London an even better city. For 11 days, 4200 athletes from around the world will play their hardest, run their fastest, and display their best on the global stage as they each, go for the gold.

What are you most excited about for this Paralympics?

The Brits Go Out with a Bang

11 Aug 2012

0 Comment

As the torch goes out tomorrow, the London Olympic Games will come to an end. Just like the celebratory Opening Ceremony, the music-heavy culture of England is bringing together UK’s hottest artists for the Olympic Closing Ceremony. Leading the ceremony is artistic director Kim Gavin, known for his knowledge in the pop genre, and with a title like “A Symphony of British Music” we can only imagine the degree to which he’ll blow us away!

This star-studded event will bring in pop group sensation One Direction, to touch teen hearts around the world, and even more impressive it will reunite the Spice Girls for a much overdue performance.  Although speculations have risen as to whether the Spice Girls will go through with their performance, if done, this might be the last Spice Girls showing ever! It also wouldn’t be a British show without the beloved Adele!

Going more classic rock, the legendary bands Muse and The Who will also be in attendance. The Muse wrote the London Olympic theme song and are expected to perform their hit song “Survival.” Even 80′s pop sensation George Michael and British rock star Russell Brand can’t stay away from this limelight. With performers like Ed Sheeran performing with members of Pink Floyd and Ray Davies from the Kinks, we can’t wait to rock out!

‘Til next time, Summer Olympics- see you in Rio!

Are you happy with this year’s Olympics results?

Spoilers Begone: ‘Olwimpics’ Censor

2 Aug 2012

0 Comment

Keep Olympic spoilers out of your feed with Olwimpics! With NBC having the primetime rights to airing the Olympics, there have been mass criticisms of the network when deciding to show events in real time.  If you are one of those people that prefer to wait until primetime to watch tape-delayed events instead, a browser extension called ‘Olwimpics’ is at your rescue!

 

It blocks spoilers by censoring relevant words, like Olympics, sports, events, medals, gold, silver, bronze, and other sports related words.  Although not fool-proof, it can give you a heads up if an article contains information you don’t want to see!  Olwimpics is available on Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox.

NBC has already recognized the real-time vs. primetime airing issues, and has promised a better game plan for the 2016 Olympics located in Rio!

‘Olwimpics’ has already been downloaded more than 2,000 times! Would you use this censor?

Making a Splash

28 Jul 2012

The American swimming rivalry between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte continues to heat up as they had their first meeting in the 400-meter individual medley.  It was a grueling race encompassing all four strokes- one that Phelps said he would never compete in again after taking gold in Beijing. Lochte won the Gold this time and Phelps didn’t even get on the podium.

Although history may not repeat itself for a Phelps domination, the olympics aren’t over yet. They still have many races ahead of them!

Not everyone has to be an olympian to make the water a great place to exercise!  YogAqua is the practice and art of a vigorous Yoga flow into fusion with the sport of Stand Up Paddle Boarding.  Their tag line is, “Where the ocean is your yoga mat”  Don’t worry that you’ll float away, as they anchor you down with a weight!

How do you stay in shape?

Banksy’s Olympic Graffiti Unveiled

25 Jul 2012

0 Comment

You can’t say you’ve gone to England if you left without seeing a Banksy. Whether it’s an original on the side of a building or a mass produced duplicate sized down for your travel bag, Banksy is UK’s hottest pop artist.  Known for his graffiti art, Banksy sends simple yet strong political and social messages. Much of his work says a thing or two about war, politicians, social events, and popculture, all with a slightly dark humour. With the biggest event in London being the 2012 Olympic Games, it’s no surprise Banksy couldn’t resist.

Who knows, you may have even seen his work around your city without knowing!  Etsy offers Banksy decals to decorate your own home walls just like you’ve touched down in Londontown. You can spread the love for Banksy with computer decals, phone covers, and shirts to match.

Have you spotted a Banksy design around your city?

Eat, Sleep, Compete

5 Jul 2012

Ever wonder where they house all of the athletes for the Olympic games? Well we have a sneak peak for you, the newly renovated London Olympic Housing. Opening up just this week for the London Olympic Games, the Housing has been outfitted to hold “16,000 athletes, coaches, and officials.” How’s that for all-inclusive!

This $1.5 billion complex has been built to serve the athletes with a 24-hour cafeteria to keep the athletes fueled. An astonishing 25,000 loaves of bread are expected to be served throughout the Games’ duration along with food inspired by international cuisines such as Carribean, Indian, and Mediterranean, and of course the familiar McDonald’s. Between eating and exercising, these athletes will need to catch some z’s to remain calm. That’s why each athlete-friendly room comes with two beds with sporty-themed blankets reading “excellence, friendship and respect.”

That all sounds wonderful, but from the looks of the released photo, we’re wondering how those muscular athletes fit on those tiny beds?!

Lady Liberty

4 Jul 2012

7 Comments

Happy Fourth of July! We hope you all got the day off to BBQ with friends and family, attend the neighborhood block party, and light off some fireworks late into the night. While you’re paying tribute enjoying America’s traditional pastimes, tattoos are a great way to show your love for America with some more red, white, and blue to complement that patriotic ensemble.

No we don’t mean to run around wearing the American flag (there is still a United States Flag Code), because lucky for you, Tinsley Transfers has this Lady Liberty temporary tattoo.  This tattoos along with many others saluting our troops is temporary, but it’ll last you through the weekend of endless beach and poolside fun. We all know that although these will wash away, American pride is endless. Who’s ready for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics!

What are you wearing this Fourth of July?
