Blogs are Going to the Olympics
We're going to the Olympics! Well, "we" at Mashable aren't, per say, but blogs are. The International Olympic Committee is allowing athletes and other accredited members of the games to blog for the first time this August. Here's the catch: blogs are only being allowed because the IOC determined blogs to be a personal form of expression, and not a form of journalism. And, the athletes blogs will still need to follow IOC guidelines. Blah.
According to a Reuters report, the regulations specify that the blogs be confined to their own personal Olympic-related experience. The blogs are also banned from having any Olympic Games visual or audio material, as well as any confidential information on third parties. Even photos included in blog posts must be taken outside of accredited areas, or their own photos that have been taken in areas that do not have any sporting action. Well, even if the blogs end up being a little boring, it's still a good thing that blogs are wiggling their way into the greatest sporting event on earth.
Why all the trouble in the first place? In terms of privacy and copyright issues, having unauthorized forms of published content is something over which the IOC needs to keep a tight reign. So even though athletes and officials can blog about their Olympic experience, they can't include any commercial reference, or have advertising as well. In the end, it appears to be the IOC and the broadcasters that remain the true benefactors of any blogging opportunities those in the Olympics have gained.
With the drama surrounding Marion Jones and other athletes that have fallen from grace, now would be a good time to publicize the online journals of those participating in the games, but in the end it seems that the IOC would rather have the contrived expression of personal experience, enabling the broadcasters to keep any rewards from any type of Olympic coverage.

There are a lot of things happening in February. One of the most important happenings is Black History Month. Most people celebrate and appreciate Black heritage and culture 24/7/365. This month was designated to highlight achievements and lives of those who had an impact on African American history and culture. WBLS-FM 107.5 created an original series titled Living Black History. This video series focuses on iconic African Americans making history today.
The series highlights conversations with Tamika Mallory, Rev. Al Sharpton, Imhotep Gary Byrd, Arva Rice, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The first two episodes feature Tamika Mallory and Rev. Jesse Jackson. Tamika Mallory highlights what it's like being a Black woman and the stress of "carrying the weight of the struggle". The episode with Rev. Jesse Jackson is an interesting one as he outlines Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s personality and what he was doing during his last days. He touches on what it's like to live through current times, persevering through struggle, and he offers advice to today's generation. Press play on the clips below and keep up with the series here.

Sports are great for the mind, body and soul. It allows us to keep fit, maintain a healthy mindset and get in shape. Though we can mostly view sport in a positive light, there is that one pesky little problem called perspiration which often makes us feel uncomfortable when participating in sporting activities.
There is, however, a solution to every problem, and we can thank sports vests for being our handy little helper in time of need. Vests are a lightweight, sleeveless form of attire allowing us much relief while exercising or on a hot summer's day. Running vests allows cool air in, causing us to sweat less and be in far less discomfort when running.
Custom running vests are perfect for teams during practice sessions, while branded running vests make great sponsor items. Printed running tops can boldly display logos or messages. Whether you are an individual or a team, sports vests are beneficial to your every sporting need.

For most, the word "home" conjures up feelings of safety, warmth, and security. After spending heaps of time, money, and efforts into buying or renting a home, people are often too exhausted to even begin thinking about how to prevent hazards or accidents. The truth is, most mishaps at home can be easily prevented, which is why it's so important to take the necessary -- and often fairly simple -- measures to do so. This is especially the case for families with young children or seniors. The last thing you want is to be confronted with a dangerous situation and find that it is too late to do something about it.
Like many things, home safety begins with awareness. This guide is designed to help homeowners identify and reduce hazard risks in their residences. Specifically, we will go over the top home hazards that exist, methods for cultivating a safer home, household toxins, and the dangers that kids and older adults face.
Awareness alone is not enough to keep your family safe, but it will get you started. Once you are familiar with the various home hazards and how to prevent them, you can then invest time and put forth some elbow grease to make it come to life.
Insight from Industry Experts
Before delving into the specifics on how to identify and prevent home hazards, let's see what the experts in the industry have to say:
Shocking Statistics on Home Hazards
While home hazards are totally preventable, they are also the cause for many injuries and deaths. In case you were wondering...
In 2014, more than 2 million poisoning incidents were reported to poison control centers nationwide.
1/5 older adults who fall sustain a broken bone or head injury.
Choking is the USA's fourth largest cause of accidental death. There were nearly 5,000 victims in 2014.
In the past decade, deaths from drowning in a bathtub have gone up 70%.
More than 365,000 fires blazed US homes in 2015, causing smoke damage, completely destroyed homes, and deaths.
Falls account for over 40% of all non-fatal injuries that occur at home.
Most Common Home Hazards and How to Prevent Them
There are countless home hazards that exist. Below are the leading causes for accidents & unintentional home injuries, and some tips on how to make your home safer.
While falling may seem like a simple hazard, it comes with many painful consequences. As you might imagine, falls are especially detrimental to young children and seniors aged 60 and up. Some of the common products at home that are often associated with severe falls include baby walkers, playground equipment like trampolines, and windows.
Prevent household members from falling by implementing the following measures:
Keep the floors dry to prevent any slipping especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Always have on hand sturdy step stools to use when reaching for things in closets or the top kitchen cabinets.
If you have kids at home, use safety gates to close off the staircases.
Use soft and protective mats under play equipment.
Teach kids under 6 years of age to avoid climbing on bunk beds.
Add non-slip rubber mats in your bathroom to avoid slipping after a shower.
If your house is more than one story high, you'll want to make sure that staircases are well-lit, are clear of clutter, do not have any loose carpeting, and have the appropriate handrails.
Dark basements should be well-lit. Install a light on the stairway getting up to it, and consider painting the steps a brighter color so that it is more visible.
Be wary of pets if you have any, as one could easily trip over them and fall.
If you live somewhere where it snows often, you'll want to clear your outdoor steps as soon as possible. Grip tape is your best friend to make surfaces less slippery!
Cabinets and drawers should be secured from toddlers and young children.
Require children riding bikes or skateboards to wear approved helmets at all times.
Make sure there are enough lights installed throughout your home so people are less likely to fall due to not being able to see clearly.
Keep the floors dry to prevent any slipping especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Fires & Burns
Contrary to simple logic, open flames are not the main cause of fires and burns. Improperly wired electrical and hot water are often the culprit in serious home hazards. Overall, fires and burns account for a third of accidental deaths at home, while also being the ninth largest cause of injuries at home that end up with emergency room visits.
There are many simple things that you can do and keep in mind to prevent most of the common reasons for home injuries from fires and burns:
Keep candles and other sources of open flames out of reach of children and away from anything flammable. If possible, opt for flameless candles.
When cooking, try not to become distracted as cooking mishaps are the number one cause of fires, and a fire is most likely to occur when the stove is unattended.
Use the back burners of stoves so that children can't accidentally knock over the pot or grab something hot.
Keep chimneys and dryer exhausts free of flammable buildup or poor ventilation by cleaning them regularly.
Install and maintain fire alarms throughout your home. Half of deaths caused by fires happened in 5% of homes that did not have fire alarms.
Inspect the batteries of fire alarms often to make sure they are working.
During colder weather, keep space heaters at least a few feet away from anything flammable, like blankets, clothing, and curtains.
Keep fire extinguishers in common areas like the kitchen, near the fireplace, and near other sources of heat.
Keep the water heater at a low temperature of 120 degrees, when it is kept at a higher temperature then children could get burned by the water when they wash their hands.
Be sure to keep curling and clothes irons out of reach of children, and away from ledges, electrical wiring and flammable materials.
It is important to keep in mind that most drownings at home involve children who have been out of their parent's sight for less than five minutes. Drownings are the fifth leading cause of home injury deaths in the states, with 80% of drowning victims being children under the age of 4. One third of drownings occur in the bathtub, with half occurring elsewhere like in the swimming pool.
The chance of drownings at a home can be significantly reduced by taking the following precautions:
Four sided fencing with a self closing and self latching gate around the pool is the only proven solution to prevent children from wandering unattended into the pool. Check your local laws to ensure your pool gate is up to code.
Keep the gate locked at all times to further ensure children can't easily wander into deep water.
Never leave babies or toddlers alone in the bathtub.
Do not leave large open containers of water in the yard or in the house unattended (like cleaning buckets or kiddie pools). 12% of drownings of children under 1 years of age occur in buckets.
Hot tubs should always be covered, and the cover securely in place as to not slip off easily.
Check and replace all drain covers in a pool, they have powerful suction that can keep even adults underwater if a drain cover is broken or removed entirely.
Do not interact with pools or bathtubs when consuming alcohol or prescription drugs.
Choking & Suffocating
Obstructed airways is the leading cause of death for children under one year of age. It is the fourth leading cause of accidental home injury deaths in the country. Obstructed airways are divided into three main types - suffocation, choking, and strangulation.
60% of infant suffocation happens at home in their beds or cribs when a pillow, blanket, or adult rolls over on them in their sleep which blocks their nose and mouth from breathing. Suffocation can be prevented by taking these steps:
Keep infants face up on soft surfaces like beds and comforters.
Put child resistant locks on any air tight spaces like fridges to be sure a child doesn't crawl in and get stuck.
Cribs should have bars that are spaced in a way so that a child cannot get their head stuck between them.
Plastic bags should all be kept out of a child's reach, as they could get wrapped around their head and suffocate themselves.
Do not keep anything overly soft in a crib, that the baby could fall into and get stuck with their airways obstructed.
Choking is different from suffocation in that it involves something obstructing their airway internally, like a part of a toy or piece of food stuck in a person's throat. Prevent choking issues at home by considering these precautions:
Make sure children chew their food thoroughly and don't try to swallow large bites. Furthermore, parents should cut up a child's food into consumable and appropriately sized pieces that are small enough that it cannot cause choking.
Inspect toys and stuffed animals for small pieces that could come off easily
Regularly check the ground for small items like bits of toys, hard foods, marbles, jewelry, and so on that could easily be choked on.
Any hard foods should not be given to children under 4 that are not cut up into smaller pieces, or food items like whole grapes that a child may think they can swallow whole.
Window cords are responsible for one child death a month on average, due to strangulation - any type of external compression around the airway. Keep these tips in mind to prevent strangulations in your home:
Keep all window cords tied down, with ends cut so they aren't a loop. It is best to get cordless blinds.
Necklaces and headbands should not be put on infants.
Bags and purses should not be hung on chairs or cribs or anywhere that a toddler could reach.
Pacifiers should not be tied around a baby's neck or clothing.
Drawstrings in hoodies, waistbands, and other clothing items for your children should be cut.
Babies should not be unattended when they are in a stroller, as they could end up getting stuck in the straps and strangled.
Poisoning is something that affects people of all ages, contrary to popular belief. Many feel that only younger children are susceptible to this because they are more likely to get themselves into cleaning supplies and other toxic household products, and overdose on vitamins and medicines if not taken under proper adult supervision. However, adults are also prone to poisoning from things like appetite suppressants, heroine, amphetamines, antidepressants, motor vehicle exhaust gas, anesthetics, and even caffeine and alcohol. While not visible, carbon monoxide poisoning is detrimental to everyone's health. These are just some of many different poisons that are harmful to the human body!
The good news is, there are easy actions you can take to prevent accidental poisonings at home:
Keep all household cleaning supplies and other chemicals high up on shelves so that they are out of children's reach. If you have an outdoor garden or shed at home, it's better to keep these items here so that they are away from other common things like drinks at home that can be easily mistaken for toxic liquids.
If you need to use pesticides in any given room, make sure that your pets and other family members are out of that room before starting.
Similar to household cleaning supplies, medicines and vitamins should also be kept out of reach. Avoid placing them on counter tops or tables where kids can easily get to them.
Be careful with batteries -- not only are they poisonous, they are a huge choking risk. Kids are curious and may try to ingest them not knowing any better, especially if the battery is small like a watch battery.
If you have visitors over, make sure that they keep their medicines secure in their purse. Children are relentless sometimes and feel no shame in going through other people's personal belongings especially if bags are wide open!
Do not use old drink bottles or food containers to store household cleaners or other toxic chemicals. This can not only confuse a child, other adults at home who aren't aware can fall for it too.
If you are not able to keep chemicals high up and out of everyday reach, then you'll want to use locks to secure any lower cabinets you place them in.
Ensure that you close the packaging to any chemical or medication before leaving, even for just a minute.
Have children who love toys? Opt for toys that do not use batteries if possible.
For adults, a lot of accidental poisoning is self-inflicted. This means that it's important to be responsible with medications and only take them as prescribed by a physician.
Install a working carbon monoxide detector, which will alert you if the CO levels at home get dangerously high. Since carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, you most likely won't know that you and your family are at risk of CO poisoning until it's too late.
Turn off all gas stoves before walking away from the kitchen.
Keep paint out of reach. Many are lead based, and even if they are not, children should not be allowed to play with it freely.
Final Thoughts
On top of paying the rent/mortgage, bills, and housekeeping, keeping your residence safe is a responsibility that comes with home ownership. When the necessary measures are taken, residents will know how to handle hazards appropriately before or as they come up. Bear in mind that this guide is by no means a comprehensive one; it is merely designed to help homeowners identify and reduce risks of hazards at home. We recommend addressing the top hazards and working from there, honing in on certain preventable accidents that may take place in your home. You may even consider hiring a professional to come over and perform an assessment.

The Swarthmore Network
The success of Career Services' programs is, in large part, due to the role that alumni play in supporting the office's work, says Nancy Burkett.
"As well as sponsoring the Extern Program, which impacts so many students and is a wonderful learning opportunity, it is the alumni who send us the most interesting and intellectually stimulating employment options. They come to campus to share their lives and career paths with students. They inspire and motivate our undergraduates to think about ways in which they can use their liberal arts education to have an impact on society," Burkett says.
Burkett refers students to alumni every day, she says, and later checks back with the students to find out how the interaction has developed. "In every instance, students tell me how thoughtful and helpful the alumni are. They help our students translate what they learn in the classroom into the workplace: When a student in comparative literature can talk to a comp lit alumna who's working for Goldman Sachs and hear how the alumna's studies and background relate to what she does in finance, the student begins to make those connections, too.
"At many other schools, only a small percentage of alumni are willing to share their experiences and network with students. Here, we have a data base of 18,000 potential alumni mentors. It's phenomenal."
Erin Massey, who manages employer relations, says: "It's especially rewarding for me to work with students through their internship and job searches and then again a few years later when they come back to recruit for their organizations. It's a great way for us to stay connected, and we really appreciate that alumni think of Swarthmore when they recruit for their organizations."

This year I decided to make their gifts myself.
For two of the girls I knitted scarves (I have never finished any knitting projects before, only started over and over, so YAY me!). One one end I cross-stitched the first letter in their Names (Amanda and Felicia) while on the other end, though you can't see more than the buttons with your puny human eyes, I added some secret pockets. Everything becomes more awesome with secret pockets, you know.
For the youngest girl I made a winter beanie out of fleece, with earflaps and some flower details. This is one of those things I so badly wish I had a kid close by who could wear it for the picture, but since I don't this will have to do, hopefully you get the picture.
I made two more fleece hats for the boys, without earflaps, but they were the last gifts made in the last second before i had to send the package to make sure it arrived in time, so I forgot to take a photo. But! I did make a duplicate for Mr. Kilt who thought they looked awesome, so when I get home I'll see if I get some photos of that one, then you can exchange the face with that of two awesome kids.
Lastly I made the Christmas Hat for the oldest nephew, something he wished for last year when he saw the one I made for Mr. Kilt.
Don't run with your mouth full of tangerines.

text: Puchon's Network of Asian Fantastic Films Announces Selections 6:55 PM PDT 6/5/2013 by Lee Hyo-won FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME The South Korean genre-exclusive market has chosen 21 projects from a record number of submissions this year. SEOUL — The South Korean genre-exclusive market Network of Asian Fantastic Films (NAFF) has unveiled its official selection of 21 works for 2013. Running during the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, NAFF has chosen eight local projects among others for its signature "It Project" program, which allows filmmakers from Asia and the Asian diaspora to hold business meetings with key producers and investors. According to selection committee members, this year NAFF received a record number of 141 submissions from 21 countries, marking the most competitive edition since its inception in 2008. Criteria for selection were originality, commitment to its genre and completion prospects. Domestic projects include Capsule, to be directed by Nam Ki-woong, whose sci-fi comic fantasies Never Belongs to Me (2006) and Teenage Hooker Became Killing Machine (2000) were both screened at PiFan. Also included is the occult horror Re:make byJi Ha Jean, who won the 2011 PiFan Audience Award with Bloody Fight in Iron-Rock Valley. Kim Jho Gwang-soo, who made a successful debut last year with Two Marriages and a Funeral, will be working on Secret Detective and Vampire, a period romp set during the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910). Lee Soo-youn, auteur of The Uninvited (2003), will present her latest project, Nowhere Man. NAFF will also showcase a variety of works from Europe, the U.S. and Asia. Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, the creative duo Resolution, which hotwired more than 30 film festivals worldwide, are bringing a sci-fi western inspired by local revenge films, Showdown at the Cataclysm. Frankenstein: A Death Odyssey, a Greek-German co-production to be directed by a highly-acclaimed Greek director Costas Zapas, will recreate Mary Shelley's horror classic to cater to potential interests from the Asian market. Selections from Asia include the Malaysian mystery Interchange by Dain Said (Bunohan, 2011); Japan-Poland co-production comic fantasy Baby by Kei Ishikawa; Glutton, a 3D project by Kevin Lewis (USA); Thai horror-fantasy The Forest by Paul Spurrier; and psychological thriller Cherry Returns by Hong Kong's Chris Chow. The It Project selections will be given the opportunity to have one-on-one meetings with International investment companies and/or production companies, along with the chance to win cash awards and post-production support from the jury comprised of world-class film professionals, from July 21-24 in Bucheon. "This year's official It Project selections will broaden the realm of international genre film industry with their original ideas, narratives, and cinematic styles embracing its unique genre elements. The selection committee hopes and believes NAFF will be a solid bridge to help make the 21 selected projects into finished films as they can encounter film audiences from all over the world," said the NAFF selection committee in a statement.

You may have seen the news that Samoa Air has decided to create a rather unusual pricing plan. Going forward, air fares for its fleet of small planes will be based on weight—not just the weight of your luggage, but the weight of your own body. This kind of thing has been joked about for years, but now that it's a reality, is it actually a good idea?
**Why it's a good idea
There is something to be said for the simplicity of this model. Just add up your weight and the weight of all your bags and you pay a flat price per pound (or in this case, kilogram). The price per kilo goes up the longer the flight. Seems simple, right?
And when it comes to flying, weight is a huge cost component. The heavier the plane and everything in it, the more fuel required to fly it. So the airline is doing a good job of tying its revenues to its costs in using this kind of method.
As a bonus, on smaller aircraft (the only kind Samoa flies), weight distribution is crucially important in order to make sure that the plane is balanced for flight. If you know everyone's weight in advance, you can spread it around before takeoff and make sure the plane isn't too heavy.
**Why it's a bad idea
First of all, weight varies. You might go on a huge diet between the time you book and the time you fly. (Or you might eat a ton.) So what you purchased could be different than what you actually need. Not to mention that what you need might not be based on eating habits at all—some people are just naturally taller or bulkier, and their fee will reflect that.
When it comes to bag weight, that's like asking someone if they want to eat chicken or beef at a wedding dinner…two months in advance. Who the heck knows? Oh yeah, and people lie about their weight all the time.
That means that Samoa Air is still going to weigh everyone and everything at the airport. You'll have to pay the difference or get a refund if you've lost weight, I assume. That takes a lot of time to process at the airport and it's going to make travel more stressful.
Of course, none of this even takes into account the social stigma of stepping on a scale in public. My wife won't even step on a scale with me in the room, so there will certainly be a lot of people who balk at this kind of handling in the middle of an airport.
Every culture is different, however, and maybe Samoa Air thinks that its clientele will be perfectly okay with this plan. I think there is going to be quite the mixed reaction, especially if this strategy moves beyond the small market of Samoa.
What do you think?

The Sony Alpha DSLR A500 is Sony's latest released DSLR this year, along with the Alpha A550. The Alpha A500 and A550 are so close in specifications (a common strategy with Sony DSLRS within the DSLR lineup) that there won't be too much new information to report here in terms of 'paper performance' when compared to the A550 review I prepared, yet I will report on various areas of difference in details that I think are truly worth reading and hit areas that I didn't cover for the A550 review. Together both reviews should give the reader a combined and informative article in total between both cameras, and clarify some key differences that you would experience had you bought both cameras and compared them yourself.

Weekend Recap Pt. 1 – Saturday: Allen Iverson Tribute at Bait and Reebok Question "Draft Day" Release
It's been a while since I've done one of these weekend recaps mostly in part because it's been a while since I went out on the weekend that didn't include doing errands or going to work. It took me a little longer to get these up than I would have liked because I began editing the pictures but halfway through I said "Eff it!" Not all pictures have to be "perfect", right? So here it is. Some pictures have been edited, some haven't. All from my roommates' Canon S110 or my iphone because I was too lazy to break out the DSLR. Since I took so many pictures, I decided to do two parts, a Saturday recap and a Sunday recap. Enjoy!
On Saturday, I headed out to Bait in Diamond Bar, CA to pick up the Reebok Question "Draft Day" that had released the day before. Lucky for me, they still had a size 11 in stock and the awesome folks at Bait were able to hold me a pair till I was able to pick it up on Saturday. Thank you! While there, I also checked out the tribute they did in their upstair gallery area for the man himself. Although I wasn't the biggest fan of Allen Iverson (I like pass first point guards), pound for pound, he was one of the best basketball players ever to play. With the announcement of his retirement a week or so ago, it was definitely cool to check out Bait's tribute to his legacy.
That Slam cover with A.I. letting out his afro is one of my favorite Slam covers of all time.
Various colorways of the Reebok Questions, Iverson's first signature shoe and my personal favorite of his line. I should have taken more pictures of all the ones they had on display.
Iverson's second signature shoe, fittingly called "The Answer". I still lowkey regret not picking up the black pair when they re-released it a couple of months ago.
Kaws Man getting in on the "Answer" game as well.
The Answer II and some Iverson figures. That McFarlane basketball rim is so sick!
The Answer III
The Answer IV and V and more cool A.I. figures.
Bait x Reebok Questions "Snakeskin" that released earlier this month and was a huge success. I was in a bit of rush so I was unable to get better pictures of them. Nice shoe overall though.
Ending this post with these pictures of the Reebok Question "Draft Days"
These are super nice in person! You won't catch me wearing these in my neighborhood though.
The main difference between this release and the other Question releases: Instead of the number "3"(Iverson's jersey number) on the heel, there's a number "1", as in the number 1 pick of the 1996 NBA Draft. Nice touch.
Stay tune to Part II of my weekend recap, my trip to the "#20yearsofGirl" Skateboard gallery at the Known Gallery in Los Angeles coming tomorrow.

If you've spent time in Minneapolis, chances are you've seen Adam Turman's work on the beer you're drinking, the restaurants you're patronizing or the gifts you're bringing home.
The artist and screen printer is widely known locally as a translator of Minneapolis cultural icons — bikes, beer, babes and buildings, among others — into posters, paintings and more. But recently Turman's now-signature mural work has had businesses around the city vying for him to paint their walls.
"Last year was a huge year for us," he said. "I'm always trying to think of what's next, what's cool, what are people into."
Like many local artists, Turman got his start as a student at the University of Minnesota where he studied design communication, which would later become graphic design. With early inspirations like skateboarding magazine Thrasher, science fiction artist Frank Frazetta and St. Paul pinup painter Gil Elvgren, a young Turman designed gig posters for local bands and venues for years. He went on to join the Squad 19 Design Collective in St. Paul and work as the in-house graphic designer for the university for over a decade. Now he runs a screen-printing business out of his St. Louis Park home, in addition to illustration, poster and other work.
The first mural didn't come until just a few years ago when Turman and a fellow artist asked the founder of Surly Brewing to do a mural at the brewery's original Brooklyn Center facility.
The mural caught the attention of a co-owner of Butcher and the Boar who commissioned Turman to do a high-profile project on Hennepin Avenue. The piece, which depicts women enjoying various seasons around Minneapolis, is visible to thousands of commuters and pedestrians each day.
And more mural work came. Businesses around Minneapolis, from large downtown offices to a small-scale Northeast Minneapolis brewer, are clamoring for a Turman paint job.
"Mural work is growing more and more popular," said Brian Geihl, Turman's assistant of about six years and a local artist known as Dogfish Media. "Businesses are… getting interested. It gives them an extra edge through branding and artwork."
Livefront, 2913 Harriet Ave.
Between 2013 and 2014, Turman painted three murals for Uptown-based tech company Livefront, including two publically visible pieces on the company's building that cover a combined 2,000 square feet of wall space.
"Our murals get kudos and compliments all the time," said Livefront founder Mike Bollinger in an email. "Our murals are a point of integration into the local community."
Guthrie Theater's eighth floor, 818 2nd St. S.
Louise Chalfant, the Guthrie Theater's director of education, also hired Turman to bring art to the theater's blank walls. In May the artist covered part of the theater's eighth floor with a scene of leaves similar to that of the views from the Endless Bridge.
"For my staff, when I told them Adam Turman was coming in, it was like a rock star was coming. He definitely brought an element of cool," Chalfant said.
The mural is located in the publically accessible learning center — no ticket required — and will be worked into merchandise.
Those walking on Main Street past the new A-Mill Artist Lofts in Marcy-Holmes may have also seen a pair of huge orange eyes staring out at them amid the construction. The beguiling creature, an owl designed by Turman, is actually a mural commissioned on behalf of the developer, Plymouth-based Dominium.
"You can't ignore it," joked Andrea Fazendin, a project consultant with Art Partners who brought Turman in.
A-Mill Artist Lofts, 315 Main St. SE
Though it won't be done until December, Jason Burgoon, proprietor of Bodies by Burgoon, is gearing up for a new Turman mural in an expansion of his personal training studio in the Thorp Building in Northeast Minneapolis. Burgoon chose the artist to represent the business' mission statement in art form partially because of Turman's commitment to his community.
"He loves Minneapolis and he's known for his work showcasing who we are as a city," Burgoon said.
Inspired to go international
One of Turman's latest works is also his most unique. Behind the Loring Corners building, in one of the city's most picturesque alleyways, the Butcher and the Boar team once again hired Turman to do his thing. With their new seafood-focused restaurant 4Bells, which opened earlier this year in the former Joe's Garage space, the team wanted something a little different for this next wall.
Rather than Turman's typical symbols like bikes and the Minneapolis skyline, the mural depicts Poseidon fighting the fearsome Kraken.
"I wanted to do something that wasn't so 'Minneapolis,'" Turman said.
4 Bells, 1610 Harmon Pl.
The step toward more diverse subject matter is an intentional move to attract more national and global work.
Local mural work has drastically elevated thanks to some international attention this summer when Minneapolis hosted Eduardo Kobra. The renowned artist painted a colossal mural immortalizing Bob Dylan on Hennepin & 5th in downtown Minneapolis.
Turman said the piece has been a big inspiration and will hopefully lead to more work in the Twin Cities.
"It put Minneapolis on the map for mural work so we can celebrate that and… hopefully have more of that," he said.
Though he's a leader in Twin Cities mural work, Turman has yet to do a project outside the Midwest.
"I haven't really branched out too terribly far," he said.
A 'hangable' style
It's this philosophy to market his murals and screen-printing to new clients that Turman says sets him apart.
"I'm always thinking about hangability, marketability. I'm not a traditional artist in that way," he said. "My studio is so small that I can't have work just sit there and not see the light of day."
Geihl has helped put up several murals over the past few years. He knows Turman's style like few others ("He's literally my right hand man because I'm left handed," Turman says).
"His style is very identifiable," Geihl said, noting Turman's penchant for a bold, graphic art with sharp lines and color palettes. "He makes it look so easy."
It's this style that's allowed Turman to branch out to with murals all over the city. Loving craft beer and bikes — Turman worked at Penn Cycle and was a year-round bike commuter — has also helped his popularity, especially in Northeast Minneapolis where he's designed a 612Brew mural and the brewery's cans, among other projects.
"It's kind of like the cool place to be. The people who buy my art and love my art, a lot of them are from Northeast," he said.
While there may not have been a silver bullet to his popularity, Turman credits each job and each new client in finding his next project.
"Great people know more great people, and you go on to hopefully do more great work with amazing, awesome people."

The moral of Oxymoron, though, is that Q couldn't have made a much better album being the rapper he is.
Make no mistake, Oxymoron is rather brilliant, and provides a perfect foundation to build upon in later releases. An exciting release from an exciting artist.
Rambunctious and irreverent, Oxymoron blasts bullet holes in the theory that gangsta rap can't sound fresh for 2014.
While real thinkers will inevitably crucify Ab Soul's TDE brother for his lack of "conscious" content, there is no doubt that Q is definitely serious about his craft.
For its occasional low ebbs, Oxymoron is an impressive display of bleak wit: ScHoolboy Q pits image against reality and myth against misery, trying to make a space for himself among the densely tangled contradictions of existence.
Unlike his previous efforts Oxymoron picks a brand of momentum and sticks to it, avoiding the peaks and surprises that have so often signified a ScHoolboy Q project.
There isn't a bad song in the bunch, but you get the sense that three albums in, Q's readymade sense of what a Schoolboy Q album should sound like is as much a safety net prohibiting outright failure as it is a hindrance to true progression.
That tight focus is Oxymoron's greatest asset, though its hour runtime might have benefited from a few more verses from lighter presences like Lamar, if only because it's refreshing to hear from somebody who doesn't rap like he's robbing you at knifepoint from time to time.
This is functional, engaging music, even exceptionally so, but it never seems to have a real, vested interest in being anything beyond that.
The wonders never cease on this adventurous and street-tough effort, but they never sort themselves well, either, and with accessible highlights like "Blind Threats," "Break the Bank," and "Man of the Year" all bundled toward the end, this LP requires a surprising amount of patience
What it lacks in punch it makes up for in being a more focused effort than its occasionally mixtape-esque brother, and thus, Oxymoron isn't so much a backpedal for Q and TDE as it is a solid side-step.
Given TDE's ever-increasing appeal, Oxymoron isn't quite an elite offering, but it meets the difficult task of attracting casual fans without straying too far from the formula that attracted ScHoolboy Q's core audience.
Oxymoron, the rapper's third full-length and first for Interscope, is powered by the sturdy widescreen hedonism of Dr. Dre's The Chronic, full of well-rapped and witty lyrics about doing dirtbaggy things over top-shelf, endlessly fascinating, forever-morphing beats.
In truth, Schoolboy Q is neither a great lyricist nor a technically dazzling rapper. In his own words, he stays in his lane. His greatest attribute by far is charisma: he has a raspy, distinctive voice, and his delivery is energetic and pliant.

Cheap SofasPosted by Kevinstated at September 12. 2013
If you're looking for the right kind of cheap sofas for your house, it is crucial to be completely familiar with how you want your living area to look, along with what you want, or need, to use the space for. For example, if you are just setting out on the purchasing ladder and have it in mind that kids could feature at some point in the near future, going for a high quality leather couch before considering what cheaper options might have in their favour is probably not your best path to a happy home. Also, it's worth remembering that, for anybody living with four-legged friends, it might be better to keep them out of the area of your sofa if you have this kind of upholstery, as their claws might damage the leather.
If you're failed to find a cheap sofa in all three above options then another option is thrift stores. Some non furniture stores also help is letting you something of high quality at low price. If you're really willing to buy something at low and want it to be of high quality than you need to give quality time to your search. You may have to repeat your search on the online store and have to look around in the area of any new garage sale. You can also find some good deals in annual sale season. but for that you have to wait for the sale season.
Here are you can find cheap sofas for quality. The further information you can read at http://sofa-store.blogspot.com/2013/04/cheap-sofas.html

The tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh continue to receive special attention of the present government in the State primarily on account of their tough topography and geographical conditions. The State government has accelerated the socio-economic development of these areas by making available adequate funds under various schemes. The consistent efforts of the state government have brought fruitful results as the tribal areas of the State today are equal to other areas in terms of economic growth, development and prosperity which is evident from various indicators.
The tribal areas, which were once most backward and there was nothing to count in the name of development, today have a vast network of roads, educational and health institutions and other basic facilities. There are 579 primary schools, 102 middle schools, 47 high schools, 73 senior secondary schools, four degree colleges, five ITI's, two civil hospitals, 10 community health centers, 43 primary health centers and 104 sub-centers in the government sector. There are five Ayurvedic hospitals, 70 Ayurvedic dispensaries, 47 veterinary hospitals, 130 veterinary dispensaries and 2584 kms of motorable roads and hundred percent electrified villages. The present State government has announced opening and upgradation of more educational, health and other institutions besides giving thrust on provision of roads, irrigation schemes and other civic amenities during the current year.
Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh has special love and affection for the tribal area and its people. He has been frequently touring the tribal areas and during his each visit the tribal areas are showered with opening of more educational, health and other institutions, roads, mini secretariats besides other developmental works.
The flow of funds from State Plan to Tribal Sub‐Plan has substantially increased over a period of time from 9.05 crore in 1974‐75 to 395.47 crore during current financial year. The size of 12th Plan (2012-17) has been fixed at Rs. 2052 crores. Ever since the beginning of Tribal Sub-Plan, the government has so far spent Rs. 4203.35 crore under this Plan.
The tribal areas have 42.49 percent of the total area of State and per Census 2011; the Scheduled areas constitute 2.53 percent of the total population of the State. The tribal areas have a literacy rate of 77.10 percent and sex ratio of 1018 in ST population is also far better than the average State ratio which is 972.
The Tribal Sub‐Plan covering the majority of Scheduled Tribes was started in 1974‐75 and by 1987‐88 the entire Scheduled Tribes population was brought under the ambit of the Tribal Sub‐Plan. The adoption of single consolidated demand in the annual budget and introduction of single‐line administration in the Integrated Tribal Development Projects (ITDPs) have been outstanding achievement of the State in furtherance to the cause of socio‐economic development of tribal community.
To make Tribal Sub Plan more need based, practical and result oriented, decentralized planning process in Scheduled Areas Integrated Tribal Development Projects has been started by taking ITDP as planning unit.
The Single-Line Administration was introduced in 1986 for Pangi and to the entire Scheduled Areas in the year 1988. The Tribes Advisory Council under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister was constituted in the State in April, 2013. The recommendations of the Council are given high consideration and are generally accepted or are dropped by the Council itself in view of departmental reply.
As soon as the present State government came in to the power, it started a special drive to fill up the large number of vacant vacancies in the tribal areas for ensuring effective implementation of various programmes and schemes and also accelerating the pace of development. The government has created a Difficult Area Sub-Cadre of all the posts/services of various departments.
To encourage the employees to work willingly in the tribal areas, the government has been giving them various incentives from time to time. The winter and tribal allowances have been enhanced to Rs. 300 per month by the present government. For those employees who are serving in the tribal areas after completion of three years of service period, are being given additional allowance on year wise basis. The incentives of medical doctors have fixed at Rs. 40,000 per month for PG Medical doctors and Rs. 25,000 per month for MBBS doctors.
For regular movement of people living in Scheduled areas being cut off from rest of world in winters, helicopter service was started in the year 1981-82 and through leased helicopter from 1995 on highly subsidized rates.
The state government worked on war-footing to provide immediate relief to the sufferers of the natural calamities during last two years besides taking up the restoration works on top priority and suitable land is being given to rehabilitate the families who lost their houses in the natural calamities. Besides, it has also been decided to provide 'Nautour' land to the landless for construction of houses.
The State government has gone extra mile in exempting the tribal areas from Forest Conservation Act for the purpose of the grant of the Nautour land and has issued a notification that Forest Clearance Act will not apply to tribal areas of the state for grant of Natour. It has also taken a decision to restore old Hindustan-Tibet road in Kinnaur district for vehicular traffic so as to ensure transportation facility to the people of the district round the year.
The tender has been floated for construction of permanent alternate route at the furious Kir nallah in Pin valley and the State government has already sanctioned a sum of Rs. 162.97 lakh for this work which would start soon. The administrations of the tribal districts have been fully geared up to ensure that the peas, apple and other crops are transported in time bound manner to the markets.
Undoubtedly, various development plans, policies and programmes have brought forth a perceptible improvement in the socio-economic status of the Scheduled Tribes at par with the rest of the population.

With FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake gained an unlikely spot as the present king of R&B, a position that he seems likely to hold for some time. The former Mickey Mouser's cultural timeliness and canniness in collaboration make him an undeniable pop juggernaut. And while the songs on FutureSex/LoveSounds ranged from excellent ("My Love") to hilariously misguided ("Losing My Way") to workably funky but dull (most everything else), one cannot deny Timberlake's ability to produce dominant hits. His current live presentation includes thrills both classically theatrical (group choreography, handfuls of glitter) and ultra-modern (an extended interlude of Timbaland cyborg jams), and could prove truly satisfying. Justin Timberlake performs on Sunday, Sept. 23, at HP Pavilion in San Jose at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $51-151; visit www.hppsj.com for more info. —Sam Mickens
New York quintet the Bravery can be somebody to everybody, because the group isn't anybody in particular. There's enough blankness in the band that listeners can project many of their favorite acts from 1981 through 2001 onto the group's music. The group's latest, The Sun and the Moon, adds influences from Coldplay, U2, and the Strokes to its angst-informed mélange. The Bravery has an affinity for plasticine hooks, but it doesn't sound as good when its points are barbed — there's a self-important tinge of "suck on our diversity" in the staccato guitars and strings of The Sun. Previously fans of the New Romantics' disco-pop, the Bravery should look to Depeche Mode for advice, and stick to showcasing succinct music for the masses. The Bravery performs on Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Warfield at 8 p.m. Admission is $22.50; call 567-2060 or visit www.livenation.com for more info. —Tony Ware
Jonathan Coulton's world is populated by secret lairs, defensive henchmen, and robot housekeepers who turn out to be Terminators. His marriage of wry cerebral wit and folky songwriting is geek-rock at its nerdiest. If you need further proof, in the days before his music stirred up a buzz, Coulton held down a software-writing gig in his native Connecticut. Yet like obvious touchstones Moxy Früvous or Barenaked Ladies, Coulton possesses a sharp melodic instinct and lyrical attention to detail that makes for broad appeal when he, say, croons an ode to genetics: "DNA, you're in my heart/ DNA, in fact, you're in every part of my body." Even if you're not in on the joke, you'll find yourself singing along when Coulton is joined by fellow geeks Paul & Storm on Friday, Sept. 14, at Great American Music Hall at 9 p.m. Admission is $18-20; call 885-0750 or visit www.gamh.com for more info. —John Vettese
Perhaps best known as the dynamo guitarist for Japan's Boredoms during that band's first 15 years of existence, Seiichi Yamamoto has been an integral part of his country's musical underground for more than two decades. He's been in a slew of bands, and has toured the United States with some of them, including the quirkily rocking Omoide Hatoba and the drivingly rhythmic Rovo. Having played everything from folk and jazz to punk and noise, Yamamoto is also a talented improvisational musician, and will be playing his first-ever U.S. solo show this Saturday. Word is it'll be a one-man "psychedelic guitar extravaganza." Bands Suishou no Fune (also from Japan) and estimable locals Wooden Shjips will be bringing the spaced-out drone-rock when they open for Yamamoto on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Bottom of the Hill at 10 p.m. Admission is $10; call 621-4455 or visit www.bottomofthehill.com for more info. —Mike Rowell
When talking indie band popularity these days, the old yardsticks get rubbery. Your lil' bloggin' sis is already tired of I'm From Barcelona, and that act probably sold 713 records. So should this meager mention of the perfectly peppy Euro wave-rock of Sweden's the Sounds automatically make you groan, "Oh, that Swedish thing, whatever," remember it's about good tunes, not good timing. The Sounds' Dying to Say This to You from way back in 2006 is the real, glossy, catchy, sexy thing. Hear for yourself when the group comes to town on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at the Fillmore at 8 p.m. Admission is $22.50; call 346-6000 or visit www.livenation.com for more info. —Eric Davidson

At first glance, the detailed works by Rinus van de Velde (1983, Belgium) seem to be autobiographical. His large-format charcoal drawings are based on photographs he has taken himself, in most cases feature the artist, and they appear to document occurrences in his own life that are in part mundane, in part absurd. At the same time, the striking works are always imbued with a certain melancholy. Yet the long, descriptive subtitles of the enormous narrative drawings expose the meticulously recorded and drawn situations as experiences had by fictional characters: we see alter egos, often historical figures, in whose lives Rinus van de Velde slips for the stagings that he elaborately recreates in his studio – in the final analysis, what they stand for are thoroughly romantic attempts by the artist to create a fictional biography – a content, substitute world-by means of these illusions.

Antidepressant Medications
Major depression, the kind of depression that will most likely benefit from treatment with medications, is more than just "the blues." It is a condition that lasts 2 weeks or more, and interferes with a person's ability to carry on daily tasks and enjoy activities that previously brought pleasure. Depression is associated with abnormal functioning of the brain. An interaction between genetic tendency and life history appears to determine a person's chance of becoming depressed. Episodes of depression may be triggered by stress, difficult life events, side effects of medications, or medication/substance withdrawal, or even viral infections that can affect the brain.
Depressed people will seem sad, or "down," or may be unable to enjoy their normal activities. They may have no appetite and lose weight (although some people eat more and gain weight when depressed). They may sleep too much or too little, have difficulty going to sleep, sleep restlessly, or awaken very early in the morning. They may speak of feeling guilty, worthless, or hopeless; they may lack energy or be jumpy and agitated. They may think about killing themselves and may even make a suicide attempt. Some depressed people have delusions (false, fixed ideas) about poverty, sickness, or sinfulness that are related to their depression. Often feelings of depression are worse at a particular time of day, for instance, every morning or every evening.
Not everyone who is depressed has all these symptoms, but everyone who is depressed has at least some of them, co-existing, on most days. Depression can range in intensity from mild to severe. Depression can co-occur with other medical disorders such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. In such cases, the depression is often overlooked and is not treated. If the depression is recognized and treated, a person's quality of life can be greatly improved.
Antidepressants are used most often for serious depressions, but they can also be helpful for some milder depressions. Antidepressants are not "uppers" or stimulants, but rather take away or reduce the symptoms of depression and help depressed people feel the way they did before they became depressed.
The doctor chooses an antidepressant based on the individual's symptoms. Some people notice improvement in the first couple of weeks; but usually the medication must be taken regularly for at least 6 weeks and, in some cases, as many as 8 weeks before the full therapeutic effect occurs. If there is little or no change in symptoms after 6 or 8 weeks, the doctor may prescribe a different medication or add a second medication such as lithium, to augment the action of the original antidepressant. Because there is no way of knowing beforehand which medication will be effective, the doctor may have to prescribe first one and then another. To give a medication time to be effective and to prevent a relapse of the depression once the patient is responding to an antidepressant, the medication should be continued for 6 to 12 months, or in some cases longer, carefully following the doctor's instructions. When a patient and the doctor feel that medication can be discontinued, withdrawal should be discussed as to how best to taper off the medication gradually. Never discontinue medication without talking to the doctor about it. For those who have had several bouts of depression, long-term treatment with medication is the most effective means of preventing more episodes.

Kray twins memorabilia auction set for May 30
Kray twins memorabilia auction set for May 30
Memorabilia from notorious London gangsters the Kray twins will be auctioned in the UK on May 30
A selection of personal memorabilia from the Kray twins, Reggie and Ronnie, willbe soldin a special UK auction on May 30.
Neither bride nor groom smile in their honeymoon shots
The gangster duo, both ex-professional boxers, rose to notoriety in London in the 1950s and 60s, where they were the foremost perpetrators of organised crime. As nightclub owners in London's west end, the Krays were often pictured in their clubs with prominent celebrity figures such as Frank Sinatra, which created a cult following for the twins that still remains today. There is an excellent autographed brochure from the Rat Pack in PFC Auctions' sale, which closes May 24. The May 30 auction will feature an array ofletters, poems and photographs from the twins, including several paintings created during their imprisonment. Commenting on the letters, a spokesperson from the auction house said: "While Ronnie's handwriting is relatively easy to read, Reggie's verges
on the illegible, reinforcing the impression of a man more used to communicating with his fists than with a pen - at least before he became a born again Christian."Among the photographs in the auction will be a collection of rare images of Reggie and Frances Kray on their honeymoon in 1965, estimated at 100-150. Frances Kray was found dead in 1967 after separating from Reggie and attempting to have the marriage annulled. The top lot of the auction will be provided by an oil painting from Ronnie Kray, which is accompanied by a handwritten letter promising another painting to T-Rex singer Marc Bolan. The simplistic, thickly applied landscape is expected to sell for 2,000-3,000. Make sure you catch the results of this sale by signing up to Paul Fraser Collectibles' free weekly newsletter.

Learners at West STEAM have been asked to build a new society after a hypothetical disaster. Throughout this project, we will be focusing on elements such as the geographical aspects, infrastructure, and resources of a location, as well as the government. The major point of this project is a creative writing piece that will display what we've worked on, as well as exercise our creativity and writing skills. Along the way, our teachers will be teaching us about the different components which we can later implement into our project.
Students here enjoy the project. "It's very self-motivated because you make it your own and make the world like you want the world to be," said Hannah Comini, a student at West.
The teachers here also like the idea of the project. Mr. Gibson, one of our Social Studies teachers, says, "I like the idea of these projects because it allows students to apply what they learn and to evaluate different sources of information, and it gives the individual the opportunity to prioritize what's important to them."
The deadline for this project is December 21st. Stay tuned to read more about what we are learning as we progress through our projects.
