On March 12th 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scout in Savannah Ga after working with the Girl Guides in England.

Off the Wiki: The Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) is a youth organization for girls in the United States and American girls living abroad. It describes itself as “the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls”. The Girl Scout program, which developed from the concerns of the progressive movement in the United States, sought to promote the social welfare of young women and was formed as a counterpart to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912 and is based on the Scouting principles developed by Robert Baden-Powell.

I myself have been a Girl Scout since I was 5 years old. I am a proud Card Carrying Member. I’ve been a Leader and a Service Unit Coordinator and now I am the Media Coordinator for Medway.

I spent my college years in Savannah and work at the Home of Juliette Low, Mecca to Girl Scouts of ALL ages from around the World. I truly miss my time amongst the History and the Scouts that came to visit. I was so MUCH FUN sharing the history of the Life of Juliette Low and the energy she brought to Scouting. In 2012, it will be the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in the USA. I am hoping to make my way back to Savannah where it all began, to be with the Ladies in green. (The Green Mafia!)

Honor of the Girls, and J. Low herself I am holding a birthday Party for the Scouts at my place of work, talking about Scouts and the Media and how young ladies can use New Media Safely!

Cut Copy began in 2001 as the project of Dan Whitford, a DJ and graphic designer. Whitford released the single “1981″ and I Thought of Numbers EP before recruiting additional members Tim Hoey, Mitchell Scott and Bennett Foddy in 2003. In 2004 Cut Copy released their debut LP, Bright Like Neon Love. The album was written and produced by frontman Dan Whitford. Foddy left the band in mid-2004 to study for a Ph.D.

In 2005, the band toured internationally for the first time, visiting London, New York City and Los Angeles. They have toured with international acts Franz Ferdinand, Junior Senior, Bloc Party, and Mylo amongst others; in December 2007, the band toured Australia with Daft Punk on the Nevereverland tour, the Sydney leg of which attracted a crowd of almost 50,000.

In 2007 the band announced the completion of their second album, In Ghost Colours, but its Australian release was delayed until 22 March 2008 in order to coincide with an international release. In Ghost Colours debuted on the ARIA Charts at number one on 30 March 2008.

In 2008, “Lights and Music” was featured in FIFA 09.

The band has accrued significant mainstream success since being signed to Sony’s Epic Records in 2001 and have been one of the leading bands in the commercialization of indie rock, beginning with The Moon & Antarctica and Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which have been certified gold and platinum by the RIAA respectively. They have gone on to sell over three million records since. Elements of Modest Mouse’s early sound have been likened to or inspired by that of Pixies and numerous other alternative rock and space rock bands. Their name is derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolfstory “The Mark on the Wall” which reads, “I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises.”

The Olympic Rings: Maybe the most recognizable logo of the games, the 5 rings represent the 5 inhabited continents of the world: : Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania (including Australia).

Created by Pierre De Coubertin in 1914.

The Medals

The Olympic Medals are arguable the main focus of the events. Who will get Gold? The design of the medal can be a touchy subject. Like the medals for the Torino Games, with “DVD

on a Ribbon” The look of the medals (prior to Torino) look kinda boring. They are very similar, with what looks like a winged victory on the front, and

typically a smaller side. They certainly hold the same meaning but even with Torino’s slight miss on the design, it’s definitely something different.

This year the Olympic Medals feature First Nation Designs, and are curvy, like ripples on the water or the rolling landscape. Each medal has a piece of larger artwork on them, which poetically ties all the athletes together. It also happens that the Vancouver Medals are using recycled metals as well, from cell phones and laptops. Go Green!

Watch this beautiful video for the whole story.

The Icon and Logo for these Olympic games is named Ilanaaq the Inukshuk. Ilanaaq is the Inuktitut word for friend, and is a stone landmark or cairn which may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for hunting grounds, or as a food cache.

Here is a look at some of the Olympic Logos from past Games!

LOOKING FORWARD

2012: Summer Olympics is London. England. London Calling!!

2014: Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia the First time the Russian Federation will hold the Winter Olympics. Tonight (2/28/10) we’ll see there presentation from Vancouver.

2016: Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 2nd time Latin America will hold the games. The last time was Mexico 1968.

I have really enjoyed these winter games. It reminded me of the first time I really paid attention, when they where held in Lillehammer. The magic and excitement where there and overall they were rewarding to watch. I hope you enjoyed watching them as I did! I wanted to leave you with a BBC promo and a German Promo done about these Olympic Games. Enjoy the closing ceremonies!
