Fiemme 2013
Nordic Fever
Val di Fiemme, internationally well known in the cross-country field, will host the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships for the third time.
This valley has just gone through the warm summer but its head was in the snow.
The Organizing Committee of the Nordic World Ski Championships listened to proposals and defined projects to offer perfect sport facilities, events of international appeal and an efficient sustainable mobility.
The PalaFiemme congress centre in Cavalese, which will host the mass media, the Ski Jumping Arena in Predazzo and the Cross Country Stadium in Lago di Tesero have undergone some major restyling.
More than 60 teams coming from 5 continents will take part in the World Championships. In addition to the 36 European, 12 Asian, 3 African and 5 South American teams, there will also be athletes coming from Australia and New Zealand.
Countless shows, food tastings and games will mark the event. The soul and heart of the Championships are the 1153 enthusiastic volunteers.
Back in 1991 and 2003 Val di Fiemme had hosted the Nordic World Ski Championships. Moreover, on January 5th and 6th 2013 the Tour de Ski with its final climb on Alpe Cermis will take place for the seventh time.
Every day Fan Parades, concerts and South Nordic Festival
What increases South the interest most is the unique and rich programme of events besides the competitions.
With Fan parades in Cavalese every day, concerts, kids entertainment and shows, Val di Fiemme will be surely up to the situation.
Moreover you will enjoy some typical food tastings: speck, cold cuts, cheese, traditional desserts, Trentino spirits and wines.
There will be also about twenty revival concerts to bring to life again the era of the Beatles, the Queens and the Abba, with some tribute bands.
In addition to classical and folk music, there are scheduled two worldwide known deejay sets.
Other events are the South Nordic Festival, Fiemme Arena, Winterfest, two nights dedicated to nature and much more, without mentioning that every night there will take place the prize giving ceremony which will turn the Champions Square in Cavalese into a great party.
Barriers-free Championships
For the first time the Nordic World Ski Championships will be completely free from any architectural barriers.
Both the stadiums in Lago di Tesero and Predazzo have been awarded the Certificate of Accessible Fiemme, in order to guarantee access to everybody to all the competitions and events. These measures are part of a large project which involves the entire valley, where not just disabled people but also tourists and guests with allergies and food intolerances can spend a pleasant holiday in our valley. The project has been developed by the Accademia della Montagna in cooperation with local authorities and associations.
Zero Impact
The environmental certificate UNI EN ISO 14001 obtained in 2003 will be kept in 2013 as well, aiming at organizing an environmentally low impact World Championship.
Opening Ceremony
The Nordic World Ski Championship of 2013 will begin with an opening ceremony with fireworks in Trento, where international known artists like Goran Bregovic will be performing.
Goran Bregovic will compose the official anthem, combining the rhythmical and melodic tradition of the Balkans to the power of rock and jazz music.
The opening ceremony, live broadcasted by Rai, will be held in Piazza Duomo. The schedule will include several coup de theatre, like a "flying" artist playing the piano to remind the music spread in the world by the resonance fir trees of Val di Fiemme. Moreover, the history of ski and the Dolomites, Val di Fiemme and Trentino will be shown through a video by Festi studio.
The Championships Game
Try out the official videogame by the World Championships Fiemme 2013 called "Skiri Mini Game" on www.fiemme2013.com.
Artistic and cultural events
The World Championships Fiemme 2013 have inspired carvers, land art artists, music experts and museums. The worldwide event gives Val di Fiemme a cultural and artistic touch without precedents.
Every museum, every show, and even ski slopes offer exhibitions which go thorough the history of Val di Fiemme and the Nordic Ski revealing the most unique artistic expressions. An example is the prize of a music sculpture which will be given to the team with more medals; the great trees and wood spiral of Varena; the sculptures dedicated to the World Championships; an ice work inspired by Norway or the exposition of shepherds writings.
Among the cultural activities there is the initiative by the Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino which will prepare a brand new Historical Museum of Ski at the gallery in Piedicastello (after 2013 it will be moved to Val di Fiemme).

It stated "You are not eligible to receive benefits under CA Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1253C beginning date of claim and ending when the disqualifying conditions no longer exist, and you contact the above office to reopen your claim. You cannot work because you do not have satisfactory child care. Section 1253C provides - an individual is eligible for benefits in a week only if the department finds he was able to work and available for work."
Question, will I receive benefits or not? What exactly does it mean? Help!
It says, "You are not eligible to receive benefits...You cannot work because you do not have satisfactory child care." Seems pretty clear. Based upon information provided by you and, possibly other sources, they determined you are not available for work, which is a disqualifying factor for benefits.
If they got it wrong, you must submit an appeal within 20 days of the date of the notice and present evidence to an administrative law judge that you were available for work during the time period claimed.
To get unemployment benefits you have to be able to establish that you are presently able to take on a full time position. If you do not have the ability to do so because of child care restrictions, you will not qualify for unemployment benefits. That is what you must deal with in your next hearing. If you can establish that you have child care such that you can work, be sure to let them know in your next hearing.
Good luck to you.
No, you will not receive benefits, based on the notice. Generally, a person claiming unemployment benefits (a "claimant") is eligible for benefits if he or she is: (1) out of work due to no fault of his or her own; AND (2) physically able to work; AND (3) actively seeking work; AND (4) ready to accept work. Details about eligibility for unemployment benefits can be found on the web site of the California Employment Development Department (EDD) here: http://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/FAQ_-_Eligib...
It appears you are disqualified because you are not ready to accept work as you do not have child care. You will be eligible for benefits when the reason for the disqualification (lack of child care) no longer exits. In other words, when you obtain child care, you will be eligible for benefits. You have to contact EDD to let EDD know you have found child care and are ready to accept work.
You may disagree with the notice. Often, EDD telephones the person making the application (claimant) and the employer and interviews each. EDD compares the statements of each party, and makes a decision based on information received. By the limited nature of the initial EDD process, it sometimes makes errors. For this reason, there is an appeal process.
The Notice of Determination stating your claim was denied includes information about the appeal. You MUST file your appeal within 20 days of the date stated in that letter. Do not miss the deadline.
In the appeal, make a brief statement just one or two lines long saying why you believe the denial was incorrect. Save your detailed argument and evidence for the hearing. For example: "Notice is incorrect. I do have child care."
In a few weeks, you will receive a notice of an appeals hearing with the date, time and location. At the hearing, be prepared with as much evidence as possible (cell phone record showing the 7:38 a.m. call, witnesses who overheard the boss yelling, etc.). You should also know the law the administrative law judge will consider. You can get a lot of helpful information on the EDD website.

Frequently asked questions
Filing a claim for unemployment benefits
You can be represented by anyone at the hearing. If your appeal will be difficult or you are uncomfortable speaking, you may wish to retain an attorney to help you prepare or to represent you at the hearing. For training, expect the attorney to need approximately three hours. For representation at the hearing, expect the attorney to need three to seven hours to prepare, depending on the complexity of the case, witnesses, documents and other evidence, and allow two hours for the hearing itself. Unemployment hearings usually last one hour or less, but you must arrive early to look at the file, and there is a possibility you will have to wait past your hearing time if the previous case has not finished.
Generally, as of 2012-2013, plaintiffs employment attorneys in California charge between $250 and $700 per hour for legal services. The amount varies based on years of experience, geographic location, attorney availability, attorney interest in the case, complexity of the matter, and more.

Ronnie Corbett returns to Radio 4 for a third series of his popular sitcom by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent.
Ronnie plays Sandy Hopper, who is growing old happily along with his dog Henry. His grown up children - both married to people Sandy doesn't approve of at all - would like him to move out of the family home so they can get their hands on their money earlier. But Sandy's not having this. He's not moving until the dog dies. And not just that, how can he move if he's got a lodger? His daughter is convinced that his too attractive lodger Dolores is after Sandy and his money.
Luckily, Sandy has three grandchildren and sometimes a friendly word, a kindly hand on the shoulder can really help a granddad in the twenty-first century. Man and dog together face a complicated world. There's every chance they'll make it more so.

Overall: 2.5 / 5 based on 2 reviews
1 of 2 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.
Worked out in the end -
By: williamsao from Houston, TX
The first item I received from you was not what I ordered (it was some kind of jacket). However, I was helped by a very efficient customer service person and soon had the proper item---the crossbody ipad bag.
Needs more room -
By: tennesseegran from Tennessee
I thought this would be the answer to my problem for carrying an Ipad while traveling. The Ipad fits but there is no expansion inside to carry keys, billfold, etc. If a half inch or inch gusset were put in the side seams the bag would hold the items women usually carry. I am sending this back as it is too hard to get items into the bag...and they won't come out.

I've been writing a lot more with the Toronto Standard of late, working mostly with Sprawl editor and funny man, Michael Kolberg (read his latest campaign to get Drake to buy Casa Loma, err, should I say CasaYOLO). Although I still gravitate toward the more peculiar, I'm now settling into…
(Source: justinjourno)
I wrote my last Text/Book column for the Standard.
It's good to be moving on to newer things, and it's especially great to have more time for the magazine. But I actually choked up a little when I sent this in to my editor (and friend) slash co-columnist, because I did this at least twice a month since, what, March?, and I'm gonna miss it.
So I kind of like TOMS shoes now…does that make me a hypocrite?

Award-winning photographer Jeff Friesen created a fun series of Lego scenes depicting 50 states of United States. He created his "50 States of Lego" project using his 7-year-old daughter's brick collection.
Friesen said that though he kept a list of sketches and ideas for each state, many times his limited set of bricks guided the work. But when it comes down to it, creating and shooting the Lego scenes is just a fun project to amuse him and his daughter on their afternoons spent together.

One of my kids' teachers had air freshener products on her class wish list. I thought that was such a funny thing to ask for but we all know sweaty kids do smell.
I do have a concern about some kids being allergic to certain scents. Last Christmas, I bought Christmas tree scent air fresheners, and I had a massive allergic reaction to it when I plugged it in. (I'm allergic to trees so I guess they actually had some tree oil in it.)
Did your teacher request air fresheners for the classroom? Would you mind if your child's teacher used it? Teachers, do you find it necessary to use air fresheners in the classroom? Are allergies ever a problem?

Folks, you've hit the end of the internet with this blog today.

Teacher requested air fresheners (Febreze) and Clorox wipes for desk and paper towels and hand sanitizer. The 3rd grade students empty trashcans and sweep the classroom daily. I guess parent donations and student free labor are taking the place of the school janitor. This is a private school so there is no union to oppose cost-cutting measures.

I was teaching my civics class some good stuff about the Great Wall of China and I heard Miss Velvet across the hall scream at somebody in her class … If you have to fart like that … leave the rooooom!
I started laughing. While I was laughing I was looking at my students to see if they heard her, but they didn't. I guess they really were interested in how long it took to build the Great Wall of China. Which was a pretty long dang time.
Then Miss Velvet yelled … Simeon, I'm almost done with you to-day!
I looked at my watch. It was only 8:58.

When I was pregnant with my son and teaching 2nd grade, my students went outside for PE. We live in South Texas. When they came back in, their hot and sweaty bodies often made me nauseous. This is why my two ALWAYS had a bath every day. When you put twenty plus bodies into one room and they have even little body smells, it is stinky. I look at things very differently since I was a teacher first and a Mom second. I also let them clean their desks with shaving cream. A little squirt was fun to smear on the desks and freshened everything up before we left for the weekend.
A Mama S…some children have no idea about cleaning up after themselves…so teachers may want to share this important life skill. Add it to all the other things they already have to do.

Almost all air fresheners make me nauseous and lead to migraines. I can only tolerate Lysol. Febreeze will put me out of commission for days. Perfumes and colognes are the same way. I get that sweaty kds smell, but I hope there are no kids with allergies like mine or other teachers who suffer from similar allergies.

While I was busy teaching fifteen really good vocabulary words … allure, antiquity, appraise, cleave, depreciate, facet, facsimile, impervious, nondescript, quandary, repose, scintillate, scrutinize, synthetic, and transmute … Miss Kentucky knocked on my door and motioned for me to come out into the hall.
When another teacher knocks on the door and motions for you to come out into the hall, right in the middle of class, and if she's got a weird grin on her face, you know it's going to be good.
Miss Kentucky was teaching Spanish to a bunch of high school guys in the next classroom. She asked me to step in there and take a good whiff.
I stepped in there and took a good whiff. In just one good whiff I smelled butts, armpits, greasy hair, and school uniforms that had not been recently washed. A cornucopia, in other words. I came back out, and without saying a word, held my hands over my mouth and nose to indicate that I felt her pain.
Miss Kentucky said in her Kentucky accent … That's so wrong on so many lev-ulls. Then Miss Kentucky asked me to go in there and deliver a quick and forceful hygiene lecture from a real man's perspective. She said they don't listen to her at all.
When another teacher asks you to deliver a quick and forceful lecture to their class it makes you feel like a guest speaker being paid a large speaking fee and you're filled with enormous professional pride. I stepped in there. One of the farters, Irving, moaned real loud … Oh, God.
I noted to the fellows how badly the room smelled, and how it was tough for the awesome magic of education to take place when you subtlety try to kill your Spanish teacher with your body odors.
None of them disagreed. They actually seemed proud that I noticed their strategy. They were maybe even a little smug. At least they got Miss Kentucky to leave the room. I'll have to give them that. I asked them do they frequently, like every day, scrub with soap and warm water … their exhaust systems?
Most of them said they did.
I asked them were they not embarrassed with their gleeful farting?
Nope. One of them said he thought Miss Kentucky likes it because she laughs so hard when we do it.
In the hallway, I heard Miss Kentucky giggle.
I asked them did they know that after several days … that if you don't shampoo your hair for several days … that it starts to stink? Your greasy hair?
To a man they said they did not know that.
I asked them to shampoo their hair tonight.
To a man they said they probably wouldn't.
I gave them a long, hard, man-to-man, hygienic look. I said … Listen up! Wash your asses and your hair and stop farting in class so much. And then I walked out while they applauded.
Miss Kentucky taught the last minutes of class from out in the hall. She wouldn't go back in there.

Just home from MSP…where the weather was amazing!
@ voice of reason…thought of your comment with online books yesterday:
"Colleges and private schools pretty much already do this."
When I read, in the USA today, that 9% use online books.
I was confused at this comment last week and asked both of mine, since they are still buying books.
To me, 9%, is not most. According to the article, online books are not much less than the actual book and when students need to print out pages, it ends up being more. Interesting for sure!
I was also thinking about this, when I read yesterday's topic. Willow may be miles ahead of her peers and has acquired some important skills most HS graduates do not have:

Last year my daughter's 5th grade teacher did request air fresheners, but not for the reason you mentioned. She specifically asked for the Lavender/Vanilla scented ones as studies have shown it is suppose to help you relax and concentrate better. She actually requested a refill of them right at CRCT time. My kids are also sensitive to smell, however, the lavender/vanilla scent is pretty light and about the only one they can tolerate.

MJG – great story about Willow; love the tie-in to her virtual school
How about other odd requests that teachers make? On the elementary "wish list" at my son's school, they list a bag of candy. I'm sure lots of teachers use small pieces of candy as rewards and that's why it was on there. One of the parents, a dentist, got super upset at the request and asked the school to remove it from the wish lists.
August 15th, 2012
9:42 am
Everywhere I've ever taught the students finally figured out that I would toss them a piece of candy when they said something nice about my hair. When you fling rubber chickens at kids while you sport a nice hairdo … well … that's like something out of David Lynch movie. Candy has a grampaw feel to it.
The cash register ladies at the Publix near where I live, as they'd tally up big bags of candy every other week or so, finally asked me what I did for a living. I told them, proudly. One of them asked me what makes me give out the candy. I said when they say something nice about my hair … I throw a piece of candy at them. The cash register lady looked at my hair. She said you sure must have a lot of patience

@mystery…should we then say either:
You smell bad …
You stink bad…
I typically use the former but maybe others can help us out here.
Also, is everyone on this blog from GA? I never thought that. I also keep in touch with some, who use to live in Ga, but have moved away.

I'm like K's mom. Smells wipe me out. I can't do most perfumes on other women without getting nauseous or worse, a migraine that puts me under. I can hardly stand the smell of spray that we use to clean our desks at work. Spray air fresheners can be too strong and I can get a headache. Plug-ins are usually okay. Clorox wipes are okay. I am not a teacher but I would feel bad asking a parent to meet my specific needs based on MY medical issues, unless I would buy all the plug-ins and only ask for refills of a certain scent. But then, isn't THAT being picky?
My ex-SIL is one of those parents that don't make the kids bathe everyday (even though they play and stink) and don't wash their clothes and make them wear dirty uniforms and they smell like little goats running around. When they get to my brother's house, they have to jump in the tub immediately. They are FUNKY. So I understand the need for air fresheners. I would just not know how to go about asking for it knowing I had particular medical issues that would be worsened by using certain kinds.

First, I made that comment on August 10th about the lockers and books topic, today is August 15th, you are five days late.
Second, reading that post reminded me of what it's like when I'm having a conversation with my 5 year old who switches topics randomly like most of us change the channel on a TV. Congrats, I've gone cross-eyed.
To your point, I said that because I have personally spoken to many IT directors at Atlanta area private schools. They say that they have either already implemented, or in the process of fully implementing a complete conversion from textbooks to digital.
The initiative is called School 2.0.
This will allow such things as being able to download homework to handheld devices and cutting costs to students by replacing heavy textbooks with technology that most of the kids today already carry. The though being that by implementing this technology now it will help these kids to have the essential tech skills when they enter the workforce.
I can't speak for the article you mentioned but I work in the IT industry as a consultant so I know firsthand about what these school's are doing or have already done.

TWG if I am getting busted at work for typing on a blog it is not for somthing this inane.
Kids do stink. From 4th grade up the kids are required to have deodorant in their back packs. I do think if the teacher is concerned about her room smell, she should buy it….but if you parents did that is on you.

Voice, just curious. How do the prices of hard copies of college text books compare with e-versions? I know often e-books and e-magazines are not that much cheaper than paper versions. Are e-versions of textbooks a lot less expensive? How do they compare with buying used books?

@Class of 1990 – Hahahahaha! So funny! Almost spit out my drink. I thought the same thing on the snooty toddler post, but didn't post it.
@FCM – LOL :o) I didn't know kids are required to bring deodorant now at a certain age! When did that happen?
August 15th, 2012
11:07 am
LOL! Deodorant is required? That is funny. But putting deodorant over funk is not that helpful. They need to wash up and then put on deodorant.
But on topic – I do agree that the teacher should buy her own air freshener just because, like I said, I know some people, like me, have too many restrictions to impose on other people.

@HB…according to the article I read yesterday:
Typically, students don't save much when opting to buy an e-textbook. For example, an organic chemistry e-textbook costs about $100, while the print version of the same book costs just $15 more.
@Voice…I am late because I read it in the USA Today YESTERDAY. It was not in the paper last week. I was very curious about your comment, since I have two in college and neither has confirmed that most textbooks are now online. I am all about learning new stuff and thus, when I read that article yesterday…it reminded me of your comment.
I always share on several topics, dart around too! Some folks can keep up with me and some go cross eyed.. I can even file topics in my brain and recall them when I read something, of interest, that relates to a previous blog topic. Some posters here have met me for a 2 hour lunch, where we dash all over the map on topics and then asked for an encore…imagine it. Some have moved out of state and asked me to let them know when I am coming…haha!
I am NOT an IT person. I am CERTAIN you know oodles more about e-books than me! I just read something in the paper that made me think about what you mentioned. I will acknowledge that not everything posted in the paper is 100% true. You can read the article for yourself and share with everyone how I am dead wrong:
I am speaking about colleges and not private schools, where I have no personal experience.
As some here have mentioned previously, this blog can be like a neighborly chat over the fence…staying true to the topic is not mandatory. If it is TWG will let us know.
Here is something I also thought about yesterday, as I boarded my 12th plane in 10 weeks:
the poster here who said I probably need to fly more to see the TSA harassment ( I do not typically see) in the airports. That was at least a month ago.

Here's an educator's rule of thumb: no one cuts the cheese this loudly unless it's an accident, so now the classroom of amped-up, amped-out 8th graders on a Friday looks more like ten blind-drunk monkeys in a boxing match without a bell or a referee.
I've about had it by now so I trot to my desk in the back of the room and grab out of the bottom file draw my can of Air Wick "Fresh Waters Aquamarina." I trot back up to the front of the classroom while they're still going goo-gaw and press the button and start moving that can right to left and left to right at their heads … and let me tell you, the white spray from this brand new, super charged-up can of room deodorant comes flying out ten feet and makes a hissing noise like a NASA space shuttle on takeoff.
Two kids jump out of their seats and onto the carpet face first as if a SWAT team just busted through the ceiling on ropes. Everybody is having a conniption fit. Debbie's into cardiac arrest by this point—she's bugging her eyes out and squeezing her neck with both hands and baring her teeth—and I swear to God if Lurlene had walked by just then and looked through the door she'd have to be carried out of the building on a stretcher. On oxygen.
This is my honors class.

That depends on how much the school itself wants to make on the books. Markup can depend, however, honestly, the thing that is driving this is actually the textbook publishers because they lose money when colleges and universities offer to take back used books and re-sell them. When schools re-sell used books at a reduced rate rather than selling them new, the publisher makes zero money.

@Dixie Diarist: Your stories are making me laugh so hard this morning – thanks!
For some reason, boys/men seem to think sweaty is bad, but when the sweat "dries up," then they no longer stink. Ugh, not true! Our kids' teachers usually tell the parents at the first back-to-school meeting that we may wish to ensure that our children have the proper hygiene products available. Also, they ask for room freshener but not the type that you spray, the type that live in the outlets or something. It would probably work better to spray the offending party/parties, but there you have it.
Teachers' wish lists could just include scents that are hypo-allergenic or whatever keeps it from messing things up.

Thank you, Kat! Obviously I have extensive experience in these areas and exercise the classroom demons by writing about it … exactly what happened … when I get home! Enjoy the next one ..
Miss Velvet marched into my classroom today out of breath and asked if I had any room spray because she's really had it with them farting all the time in her class.
I thought for a moment … What advice do you give a fellow teacher whose students know they can constantly get away, every day, with farting the moment they walk into her class? Obtain a flame thrower? A Taser?
I think they've won, and when they've won around here there's not much you can do to come back. I told Miss Velvet I didn't have any room spray … I reached into my teacher's drawer of snacks and headache pills and chewing gum … and pulled out my can of Old Spice "After Hours" body spray.
Miss Velvet said … So yours fart, too?
Nope, I said. I don't allow farting in my classes. I just like the way this stuff makes the air smells. Super sexy.
Miss Velvet gave me a certain look.
I tossed her the can.
She huffed out.
I guess I just gave her the advice she needed.

@Bernie…some teachers have toothbrushes and toothpaste for their children too. While I applaud their concern, when did this become the teacher's job? I am faced with Devil breath lots of times and wonder why parents don't make their children brush their teeth. DUH…I have the answer…their kids don't want to or the parents are too busy to make time for it. I always tell the kids they need to brush their teeth ( at least) before and after school. It is kind of like peeling and orange and having sticky hands all day long. You should wash your hands! When you eat, you have sticky teeth and they need to be cleaned too!

It was right before Christmas and she told me that the apartment complex was EMPTY and a little spooky. I thought it was ridiculous until I got there and saw less than 10 cars in the complex. She volunteered to stay and work as everyone else went home for the break. I took our dog with me and it was fun!

Phil Rogers's post on Baseball | Latest updates on Sulia
The Ryan Dempster standoff continues, with confusion in Atlanta regarding Dempster's reasoning on not approving the deal. Fox's Ken Rosenthal reports what has been known for awhile -- that Dempster prefers a trade to the Dodgers. Theo Epstein knew that was his preference but must not have known that Dempster felt so strongly about it that he would block a trade to the Braves -- although to be clear he hasn't done that, he's merely weighing his options at this point. Rosenthal points out that Dempster's wish to go to the Dodgers relates to his family situation. He prefers to be on the West Coast, Rosenthal suggests, because he has family in Vancouver and wants his three children to be close to relatives while he's away. It's unclear if Epstein can re-engage the Dodgers in trade talks. They backed away over the weekend, unwilling to meet the Cubs' demands for a player they might have only for the rest of this season, and that led to the agreement with the Braves. This could become quite a mess, especially given how happy the Cubs were to have agreed to a deal bringing right-hander Randall Delgado from the Braves.

The U.S. Treasury Department is Phasing out Paper ChecksBy Lawayne Childrey | Published 01 Aug 2012 06:00pm |
The U.S. Treasury Department is phasing out paper check payments and requiring benefit recipients to get their money electronically. MPB's Lawayne Childrey reports how the new mandate could affect more than one hundred thousand Mississippian's.
For the past 4 years Jackson resident Tirome O'Neal has received a monthly federal benefit check in his mailbox.
"I get it through the mail and go to the bank and get it cashed."
But those days of O'Neal waiting for his check to come to his home are about to come to an end. That's because the U.S. Treasury Department is phasing out paper checks and requiring anyone receiving Social Security, VA or other federal benefits to get their payments by direct deposit --- Yesterday at the Jackson Medical Mall O'Neal decided to have his funds electronically wired to his new bank account.
"Then I won't have to pay that extra 2 or 3 dollars to get the check cashed. Them some more dollars can end up in my pocket."
Nearly 108 thousand Mississippian's still receive paper checks. Kelli Sharp with the Jackson Medical Mall says if benefit recipients don't adhere to the federal governments GO Direct mandate they could face substantial fees.
"March 2013 if anyone receives a federal benefit check via the mail you're gonna be sent a debit card automatically. But every time they use that debit card they're gonna be charged from the folks who sent them the debit card and where they use that debit card. Now we're not saying when you open a checking or savings account with a local lender that fees won't be associated with it. But those fees will not be as high as they would be with this debit card issued with the federal government."
"We just encourage people to go direct deposit it's safe and it's convenient."
That's Barrie Carpenter, Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration.
"We ask people to be cautious about scam 'cause there are scams anytime there are changes and new things occurring. And we also encourage them for social security, go on line, that's the best way to do business with us."
According to the GO Direct Website when recipients convert to electronic payments Mississippi could save more than a million dollars in processing fees. Lawayne Childrey. MPB News.

Yemeni online journalist sends urgent appeal after death threats and hacking of his website
Mohamed Al-Jabali, the editor of Akhbaralasr news website is the latest casualty in a wave of intimidations targeting bloggers and online journalists in Yemen.

This comes just after his website was also hacked.

The tripartite negotiations are now concluding phase one which will cover core FTA issues of tariff liberalisation, rules of origin, customs procedures and simplification of customs documentation, transit procedures, non-tariff barriers, trade remedies and other technical barriers to trade and dispute resolution.
Facilitating movement of business persons within the region is being negotiated in parallel with the first phase.
Phase two, the last stage of the negotiations, is expected to start soon and will cover trade in services and trade-related issues such as intellectual property rights, competition policy and trade development and competitiveness.
According to the roadmap, all negotiations should be completed within 36 months. Thereafter, COMESA-EAC-SADC are expected launch a single FTA by 2016, building on the FTAs that are already in place.
It will also resolve the long-standing conundrum of overlapping membership, which has presented barriers for the three communities in their quest towards integration.
Technically, a country cannot belong to more than one customs union, yet the three communities have either already established or are working towards creating their unions.
The ultimate launch of the enlarged FTA will result in the three sub-regions coalescing into a single FTA with the goal of establishing a single Customs Union in the near future.
With the launch of the "grand" FTA now getting closer to becoming a reality, countries in eastern and southern Africa including Zimbabwe should ensure that they fully benefit from such an arrangement.
The creation of an enlarged market would promote the movement of goods and services across borders, as well as allowing member countries to harmonise regional trade policies to promote equal competition.
Removal of trade barriers such as huge export and import fees would enable countries to increase their earnings, penetrate new markets and contribute towards their national development.
However, like any other trade arrangement, the Tripartite FTA will bring its own challenges that need to be addressed. For example, less prepared nations are at risk of being swallowed economically by more powerful nations, as their local industries would suffer from the stiff trade competition from more rival firms in an open market. This competition may subsequently allow the more organised and developed nations to push weaker local firms out of business.
Hence, member states must smartly address such pertinent issues to fully benefit from the trade arrangement.
One way of addressing this could be by boosting the manufacturing sector to ensure it is able to compete and withstand pressure from outside firms.
Another option is value-addition to increase benefit from natural resources such as gold, diamonds and nickel.
Zimbabwe has already identified various measures that aim at accelerating economic development and preparing its industries to withstand stiff competition in an open market.
These measures are contained in the newly crafted Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimAsset). Zim Asset is a Government blueprint that will guide economic transformation and development in Zimbabwe for the next five years, spanning October 2013 to December 2018.
It should be noted this is the same period in which the Tripartite FTA involving COMESA-EAC-SADC is to be launched, thus ZimAsset is also an important blueprint for the country in this context.
ZimAsset has identified four key priority clusters that will enable Zimbabwe to achieve economic growth and reposition the country as one of the strongest economies in the region and Africa.
These key priority clusters are food security and nutrition, social services and poverty reduction, infrastructure and utilities, and value addition and beneficiation.
Value addition in various sectors, among them mining, agriculture, infrastructure focusing on power generation, transport, tourism, information communication technology and enhanced support for small to medium enterprises, are the key drivers of any economic agenda. sardc.net

Mom and Tot Trapped in Lift for 41 Seconds!
Elevator horror story.
NBC's Ann Curry had Twitter (and 6 other passengers) to keep her company when she was trapped in an elevator for an hour yesterday. Big deal. Has Ms. Curry ever been trapped in an elevator alone with a toddler?! This mom has ... for 41 grueling, terrifying seconds.

The Elegance of Imperfection
45 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
I creat a few website and have to say Imperfection is OK as far as the website is interesting for the visitors
I agree that imperfections make a person think, however, as an editor, I like to direct what a person thinks about. For instance, when I see imperfections on grammar and spelling, I think about the imperfection, and not more interest in the site or product.
I agree, too much sameness lends a site to boredom for a user, especially a user seeking a social experience.
I know that this is not really saying that you can put anything anywhere and that when you break it down there is an exact art to it but anything that frees me from symmetry is like skinny dipping in the lake on the 18th hole of the US open!
Really like the anecdote, this article is inspiring.
Hi David,
Thanks so much for this. It took me awhile to get it up, but I had to pass this on in a post: http://www.webmarketingtherapy.com/blog/perfection/ This made me think of many ways that the fear of imperfection can hold us back. You were much more eloquent.
From the perspective of a fairly equally-brained front end dev who couldn't draw or come up with a memorable logo to save his life but still feels the creative rhythm, it's always struck me how much more natural and fluid the process of converting a design from a good artist tends to go as opposed to overly busy, needlessly tight layouts from those of a more engineering background.
It generally takes a lot fewer elements to get the job done, I always feel better about the site I'm working on and the resulting layout always feels more intuitive and easier to use. Of course, I'm in Chicago and there's a lot of REALLY good designers in town but I don't think it's just that.
When you try too hard to quantify things with prototyping and demos and put all this effort and resource into what ultimately has no other purpose than making management feel artificially connected to a process they will never understand, creation rather than control, you're killing the potential of a site by ignoring what your own senses and experiences are telling you.
Deny it all you want, but this is first and foremost a craft and that means intuition and personal judgment has to have a place. When does any media start sucking by and large? When people start demanding accountability for the unaccountable. When they try to quantify what will make a game, a song, a movie, a toy or a site popular without really understanding what goes into the thought process from an artistic or development perspective and then finding and repeating a meaningless pattern ad nauseum because they got too hung up on a formula for success.
I saw a big blogfest by a bunch of UX guys talking about how Google's success wasn't accounted for by its design, which was bad, apparently. Here's the thing: I've never had a problem using Google. It's never felt awkward. The elements didn't need to be clumped together "where the action is" by which I assume they meant the actual search field. What links were placed where never struck me as odd and I think I've clicked every link on that old-school Google page at one time or another so I didn't miss anything. It works. It's easy and instantly recognizable. I didn't have to think too hard. It provides a tool to help you solve problems and then gets the Hell out of your way. I'm not surprised to find things where they are. That's good design.
KAIZEN meaning small constant improvments is the key word here.
Hi David, Great blog – I teach sales & website marketing to students/companies – the question I am asked the most by my students is did I get it right? The answer I give often surprises most of my students. Is the customer happy with the goods & are they happy with you? …
In reality the salesmen that recite their scripts to perfection are actually worse salemen than the ones that make a few blunders & appear more natural & imperfect to the customer. Web design is no different – the flaw can sometimes be the making of a site & how the customer remembers you – there is of course a flip side to that…
Lack of attention to detail can in reality kill a site at the worst or make it look sloppy – see "web design mistakes":http://www.vuzudesign.com/web-design-blog.php?comments=1&aid=51&article=Top+60+Web+Design+Mistakes+of+2009 – one of my students websites is at the very least basic as far as design goes but perfectly formed as far as quick loading – working in any browser and well written for search engines – can't help thinking though perhaps he hasn't shown off his creatve skills to potential customer – see "web design cheltenham":http://www.vuzudesign.com but who's perfect?
Great article. thank you
Truly a very inspiring article.The approach of asymmetrical design to gain perfection is true in many sense.
Great Article…..thanks again
Great article. Living in Japan I could really see the ideas of Wabi-sabi that are being mentioned.
The Golden Ration is also a wonderful idea to incorporate into the equation of designing through balancing perfection/imperfection.
We made russian translation of this article:
"КраÑота неÑовершенÑтва":http://www.internet-expert.ru/news/articles/155/
Wonderful to encounter Wabi-Sabi in this context. Yes, really nice thinking about 'heart' in the context of web design.
Much food for thought … thanks for the great post.
I always wondered why I loved fonts that look like handwriting, hand drawn/scanned illustrations in presentations and slight imperfections. I think they make things a little bit more human.
I never comprehended why. Reading about Wabi Sabi and the mention of shobuye helps a bit. I like the article at several levels and I love the discussion.

"No one can deny the persisting continuities of long traditions, sustained habitations, national languages, and cultural geographies, but there seems no reason except fear and prejudice to keep insisting on their separation and distinctiveness, as if that were all human life were about. Survival in fact is about connections between things." Edward Said

9. "Always
try to be a little kinder than necessary." Sir James Matthew Barrie
11. "Wanted:
More Praise I cannot help believing that the world will be a better and
a happier place when people are praised more and blamed less; when we
utter in their hearing the good we think and also gently intimate the

kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." Plato
27. "I can say with conviction that the struggle which evil necessitates is one of the greatest blessings. It makes us strong, patient, helpful men and women. It lets us into the soul of things and teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcomings of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail." Helen Keller
28. "Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. Mental trouble was never known to arise from such quarters. Though they do not cost much yet they accomplish much.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
I'm looking for any recommended settings for scripting nmap to accurately
scan several large logically disperse networks. My target list consists of
about 5 c-class networks that do not respond to ICMP and about 40 single Ips
that either do or do not respond to ICMP.
I would prefer accuracy over speed if the scan times are reasonable. I have
been -P0 on all scans since I can't reliably detect 100% of online hosts
(which generates about 1.5MB of output in -oG format due to all of the
filtered ports reported on). Scans with -T 3 currently take about 8 days.
Scans on -T 4 take about 1 day. T 3 are noticeably more accurate and some
networks report as no hosts online or ports open under T 4.
Here is my current scanning command:
nmap -T 4 -iL targetlist.txt -sT -P0 -oG output.log
My goal is to maintain an updated list of target networks and use nmap to
detect all open ports across the span monthly. Then, another script will
diff the outputs and report on any changes. Eventually, I'll get a udp
audit going as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

text: Console houses AEM AFR at top, oil pressure, oil temp and boost at bottom, with JVC head unit in center. Wood trim painted flat black Console houses AEM AFR at top, oil pressure, oil temp and boost at bottom, with JVC head u Data is presented to Nick by an AiM digital instrument cluster mounted in a carbon fiber panel. It's assisted by AEM gauges for oil pressure, oil temp, air/fuel ratio and boost in the console. Additionally, the Snow Performance water/meth display was custom-mounted into the driver's-side air vent. After incorporating the standalone, Nick was determined to further rid the engine bay of unnecessary components for weight and aesthetic benefits. "I wanted to keep the bay nice and clean," he said. "My goal was to build a show car I could race." For this reason, all A/C, ABS and emissions components were removed. During the clean-up, Nick also added a Wizard Cooling radiator, atmospheric catch can and uprated coolant hoses. Quattro Nick didn't make the mistake of ignoring the drivetrain. He started with an O1E six-speed transmission, mated to a South Bend six-puck clutch. "The spare wheel well was removed and we welded a piece of steel in its place," he informed us. "This made room for 034's aluminum rear diff carrier, which was linked by a one-piece driveshaft to the rear wheels. The Silver Bullet had enough power to finally satisfy Nick, but he had to harness it. So the original suspension was swapped for adjustable KW V3 coilovers. A Neuspeed rear sway bar was installed for greater control, and the bushings were replaced with stiffer 034 parts. Porsche GT3 seats have alcantara centers matching rear seats and doors Continuing his road and track approach, the brakes were upgraded to six-piston Brembo front calipers over stock-size Zimmermann drilled rotors. These would fit comfortably behind his chosen 17x9" CCW LM20 wheels that lend the car an air of classic refinement. Wrapped in 235/40 Hankook tires all round, the Audi has an undeniably sporting stance. When it came to the exterior: "I wanted to clean it up but keep the original lines," Nick explained. So the fenders were pulled slightly and the moldings shaved to make it more contemporary. The stock bumpers were swapped for a smoothed Audi S2 part up front, complete with a molded lip. On the rear he chose a smoothed European Audi 90 bumper with molded additions. To complete the update, B5 Audi S4 side skirts were modified to fit. The bodywork was then painted in Porsche Arctic silver to increase the cool factor. Final touches included Audi RS2 headlights and mirrors, S2 fogs, clear corners and rare smoked tail lights from German tuner Treser to complete the package. All that remained was to transform the interior from luxury to sports to adopt the new persona. This was skillfully achieved with a pair of Porsche GT3 seats, which were custom trimmed with white alcantara inserts, along with matching rear seats and door cards. With the headliner reupholstered in black alcantara, and the original wood trim painted flat-black, all that remained was the addition of a Momo steering wheel and UUC shift knob for the 034 short-shift mechanism. Snow Performance water/meth display in drivers-side vents AiM cluster in carbon surround Because the original radio just wasn't cutting it, Nick installed a JVC head unit, Focal speakers and a 12" JBL sub, all powered by a five-channel Alpine amp in the back. After years of work and devotion, Nick's 90 reminded us you don't have to walk the same path as everybody else. You can strike out on your own to make a statement. "It's everything to me," Nick said. "Show car, racecar, everything; all in one." With the love Nick expressed for his Audi, we anticipate this won't be the last we see of him or this unique 90… « | 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Dominika Janiga Enjoyed this Post?

It tip-toes around
Or buzzes above
Its wings trailing behind
Like a bridal train
But unlike the bride
Walking towards new life
Your life is short and uneventful
In a few days
You will be dead.
As if you wish to deny your fate
You lift you bridal train
It transforms into a pair of wings
Which you spread towards the skies
And then you
Minutes later you're back
On the ground
Staggering around
Your beautiful train is gone
You were a hopeful bride
Now you're a desolate widow
And your delicate gossamer wings
Lie next to you
Like a torn
Beauty that was once your
Is no one's.
In the last minutes of your life
I should like to think
That you'll look back fondly
On your short
But glorious

Brooke Mueller told police that husband Charlie Sheen threatened her with a knife, which brings to mind that 1990 incident of Charlie Sheen shooting his fiance at the time, Kelly Preston. Read more on this story below.
Charlie Sheen was arrested for two felonies and one was felony menacing, which is a threat that involves a deadly weapon. Police say that Brooke Mueller told them that Charlie Sheen had a knife and was threatening her with it.
Brooke Mueller changed her original story so it makes you question her credibility, especially with her being legally drunk with a .13 blood alcohol level.
Police did reportedly see marks on Brooke Mueller, but were uncertain if they were related to the fight with husband Charlie Sheen.
This little incident with Brooke Mueller makes you think back to 1990 when Charlie Sheen shot John Travolta's current wife, Kelly Preston. Preston and Charlie Sheen were engaged at the time. But both Sheen and Preston stated the shooting was an accident but they did end their relationship.
