Hotel @ MindSay

The Frys.com Open, is committed to reducing the tournament’s environmental impacts and increasing the personal and public profile as an environmentally and socially aware event. The tournament’s carbon offset partner, EcoAid (http://ecoaidnow.com), is committed to helping the Frys.com Open become a fully carbon neutral golf event. EcoAid’s strategy encompasses four major areas: the quality of the vendors, the products going into the tournament, the use of the products/facilities, and the control of the waste. Through reducing, reusing and recycling, EcoAid, the Frys.com Open and its vendors are committed to taking steps towards our part of a sustainable future.

The Grayhawk Golf Club, home of The Frys.com Open, has taken many environmental strides to ensure that the course represents both their high quality standards and their commitment to sustainability. Some initiatives include: replacing all incandescent and halogen bulbs with CFLs and LEDs; changing to LED exit signs removing 50,000 watts; updating their clubhouse with a new HVAC system that increased efficiency more than 40%, by using non-ozone depleting refrigerants; and installing programmable thermostats to control the building’s temperature. In addition, Grayhawk has plans for a 30kW Solar installation to help power part of the facility.

Here are a few initiatives that participating companies are promoting in their own practices and also at the tournament. EcoAid (http://ecoaidnow.com)feels it is important to combine sustainability initiatives without having to compromise the quality of the event.

Sustainability Partners

Many of the vendors at Frys.com Open already have implemented measurable initiatives within their own companies to reduce their impact on the environment. Following are descriptions of some of the green initiatives that companies have taken at the office/on-site and/or at the tournament. The tournament has the privilege of using several vendors that are not only involved in sustainability initiatives at the Frys.com Open, but are also global sustainability leaders.

Waste management is committed to recycling as much of the post-consumer tournament waste as possible. With the cooperation of patrons and their own skills, they will be able to recycle over half of the garbage from the tournament. Waste Management’s role ensures that the tournament waste will not contaminate the unique Sonora desert environment.

Waste Management is a recipient of the Climate Action Leader award, a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and is also committed to reducing their Carbon emissions by 6% by 2010. They have developed initiatives to lower their carbon footprint and, in addition, initiatives to capture landfill emissions and store carbon. Not only does capturing landfill emissions reduce our impact on climate change, but it provides opportunities to generate electricity from a renewable source. In addition, ProEm has partnered with Waste Management for the Frys.com Open to help recycle waste, such as Astroturf.

Marriott Hotel, the official hotel of the players and other spectators at the Frys.com Open tournament, has also taken numerous initiatives in becoming more sustainable. Their supply chain looks at green initiatives as well as encourages their guests to consider the environment through such measures as utilizing recycled materials in key cards and pillows. For resource consumption, the Marriott is also reducing its fuel and water consumption by 25 percent over the next 10 years; installing solar power; and expanding their “reduce, reuse, recycle” programs throughout their hotels. Due to its initiatives with low flow sinks, showerheads and fluorescent lighting, over 200 Marriott hotels have achieved many aspects of environmental design, including ENERGY STAR® labeling. Ten of these certified hotels are located in the Phoenix Metro area.

Cox Communications is creating a recycling program to turn waste into growth. By separating out the different waste streams as a new channel for profits, Cox Communications reinvests that money into work and education programs. They also are focused in several key areas including energy management, water management, greening their transportation fleet and controlling consumption. As members of both the Arizona Recycling Coalition and Arizona Businesses Advancing Sustainability, Cox Communications is currently a contender as the largest solar consumer in Arizona.

LG Electronics promotes recycling, environmental design and reducing the impact that electronics have on our environment. Through specialized programs, LG has recycled electronic waste (e-waste), such as old cell phones. Furthermore, LG looks to interactively reach consumers through education, Ecolabelling and motivation to recycle e-waste products.

Many of the vendors are local or utilize local resources, promoting sustainability and the nearby economy. Mobile Mini has focused on consolidating their trucking in order to cut fuel to deliver their product coming from local areas. United Parking Systems is in charge of the valet services and has come up with creative ways to promote sustainability at their company. Their valet tickets are printed on recycled paper and at the Frys.com Open, their valet team carpools to the location. At the office they promote recycling and offer incentives for using alternative transport such as hybrid vehicles. T & B Equipment, another local Phoenix company, uses temporary seating and flooring. In addition, they separate out all of their waste, recycle and reuse wood products.

Rosendin Electric is committed to sustainability as a certified green business provider. Utilizing their LEED accredited professionals and in-house green team, they work with renewable energy and green practices.

At Outback Sports, the hospitality company, nearly all of their products are reusable and have minimal waste. For the tournament, they have mapped out routes and will store reusable materials until the next tournament in California to avoid unnecessary shipping. At the Frys.com Open they have worked with local companies to utilize supplies in order to cut transportation emissions.

The Future

EcoAid and the Frys.com Open hope this tournament will set future standards for public events. These events do not need to be wasteful or cause a large impact on the environment. This can be done if we as organizers, vendors and patrons are committed to doing our part in helping the environment.

So we're together now.

I thought I already blogged about it, but I guess not.

And I mean the guy I met in London, whom I had sex with...

He doesn't live in London, though, he lives in Canada, too.

He was on a school trip, same as me.

The two groups just happened to be in the hotel at the same time, which is just amazing.

And it gets even more amazing. Besides that there was two school groups in London, we happened to be staying in the same hotel on some of the same nights, and we just happened to take the elevator at the same time that night!!

And I also, when coming back to the hotel the next night, I just thought to look out the window, and I saw his group coming in!

And so I went downstairs to "look at broschures" hehe. I stood there for I don't know how long, and then he noticed me and came over and asked for a picture.

And then he walks away!!

I was feeling so stupid. I was like, what was I thinking, why would he be interested in me, all he wanted was a stupid picture... and  kept looking at him, and he looked over at me.

And then he finally came over, and we started talking, and we sat down in the lobby and talked for an hour or so (didn't look at the time), until one of my teachers told me to go to my room.

Well, I gave him my room number before leaving... hehe!

And later, he came up and we invited him into the room, where my roomate (Sarah) and him and I talked.

And then... Sarah was tired and wanted him to leave... but I got away with just us going over by the door, hehe.

And then...

I poked him and he poked me. Stomach, and then he went up and I went down. And then we hugged, and we kissed. And then I was touching it, and I put it between my legs (still underwear on both) and rubbed it there...and then brought it out and stroked him off. He he.

And...it may have went all over my shirt. >.<

And that was just the first night. We hugged and kissed goodnight...and he asked me what time I would be getting up in the morning, so he could see me.

He got up early just to see me! His group didn't wake up til 10 or so, he said. But he got up around 6, just for me! <3

*title change because I felt it more appropriate, and a double entendre. XD

SC Magazine has announced that it will hold its second annual SC World Congress Enterprise Data Security Conference at a New York hotel later this year.
