Social Security
Ask a Social Security Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
If a person has questions on how to acquire someone to help with Social Security benefits, getting a representative payee could be a solution. This is a person that applies to the Social Security Association to receive social security benefits for a person that can't take care of that particular income. However, often this can be a confusing and traumatic experience for someone that does not have all the answers. Read below where Experts have answered some of the most common Social Security Representative Payee questions that have been asked.
The Social Security Association may often have problems with the process involving checks. The representative payee would need to visit the local social security official for help with this issue. The payee must have evidence stating that the family member is not longer in jail. It must show the date that the family member was released out of jail. After these precautions are taken, then the social security association will direct check once everything is confirmed.
If the children represented don't live with the payee; then there must be some proof that states that the income coming in is spent on the children and not towards other things. Documentation is mandatory if payee expects to receive the proper funds for the children. If everything is already in place and children are properly taken care of such information is not needed.
An action such as this will not be allowed by the bank or the social security association. A signature from another sibling in the family would be violating the rights of the child that is being represented. The payee must protect the financial support of the child and not allow access to the money to come from anyone else. The purpose of the money is to support the needs of the child that the payee is representing.
The person that is interesting in being the payee must seek an application from the Social Security Office requesting that they become the payee. Also, information stating that the person is not longer affiliated with the previous payee should be presented to the officials at the Social Security Association.
http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-11.pdf is a link that helps with applying to become a representative payee for another individual. Also, the social security officials should be notified about any complications that the person had with their previous payees.
Once approved and a person is assigned to be the payee; the money will signed over to the payee. The check that is presented to the payee is to support the needs of the family member that is being represented. Although the money is made out to the payee; there must be proof that the funds are used to take care of the family member. In order to be appointed the representative payee there is an application process. The application is stated as FORM SSA-11 or the individual can call 1-800-772-1213 to set up interview.
Provided above is information on various questions and responses on the topic of Social Security Representative Payee. There are different situations that surround social security payee issues and experts are here to help with the support to help seek out the answers that people may need.

News: Marines prepare for next 'mission' in life
Story by Lance Cpl. Melissa Lee
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. – Out with the old, in with the new. Headquarters Marine Corps recently replaced the Transition Assistance Program and Transition Assistance Management Program with the Transition Readiness Seminar, which is designed to better prepare service members for their next missions in life.
The new program specifically guides Marines in specialized classes on what each Marine plans to do after the military.
"The Transition Readiness Program is a new initiative to update the old programs and give Marines one week of training and education for transition out of the Marine Corps," said Lt. Col. Michael S. Tyson, commanding officer of Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 3.
The new seminar, required for separation, guides Marines in a group setting. After classes on Veteran's Association benefits and G.I. bill benefits, Marines divide into specialized classes focusing on taking college courses, attending vocational training schools, starting a business, as well as jumping directly into the civilian workforce.
The course also allows service members to spend five days gathering information on what awaits them in the next chapter of their lives, a change from the old class that only offered three days.
"The old program gave a lot of information in a short amount of time," said Sgt. Molly A. Howe, the career planner with MWHS-3 and a Gilroy, Calif., native. "Now, the new program is more specialized. It helps to be in a small group with like-minded people to bounce ideas off of and share knowledge with."
The course provides online resources and updated guide books that show civilian equivalent jobs to each military occupational specialty, helping service members recognize their transferable skills.
"In a recession, it is harder to find a job and be competitive. The new class better prepares service members for the challenges outside of the military," said Tyson.
With the new program, service members are more likely to successfully find a job and have financial stability as a civilian.

NEW YORK -- With Batman lurking, the prehistoric critters of "Ice Age: Continental Drift" ran off with the box office earning $46 million in its opening weekend.
The 20th Century Fox animated film is the fourth in the decade-long "Ice Age" series and the first in 3-D.
The studio's box office estimate Sunday for the North America performance of "Continental Drift" was on par with previous "Ice Age" movies but well below the opening weekend of the second installment, "The Meltdown," with opened with $68 million.

It may take time before Seattle-area Catholics learn whether Pope Francis shares their views on specific issues. But many found things to like in the new pontiff Wednesday:
First pope from the Americas. First Jesuit. A man from a developing region and one who has chosen a humble lifestyle.
Their comments made it clear that the selection of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina as the 266th pope turned a page in church's 2,000-year history.
"The whole school stopped for about an hour to watch this historic moment," said Father William Heric, chaplain at Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
Heric said Francis "is a great choice … someone who has just a stellar record in service to the church with a special commitment to serve the poor."
The selection of a pope from the developing world, some said, was an overdue acknowledgment of where the church's growth has come in recent years.
"I was just frozen in place when I heard, I was so personally moved by the choice," said Father Binh Ta, pastor of Sacred Heart parish on Lower Queen Anne.
"As a Vietnamese American, the fact that he is from Latin America speaks volumes to me," Binh said. "It shows this is a global church and the pope is meant to serve everyone.'"
Much of the growth of the church in recent years, in the United States and the world, has been among Hispanic populations.
Isaac Govea, director of Hispanic Ministry for the Archdiocese of Seattle, said, "Even though there were favorites from Latin America, we were surprised. Gladly surprised."
But Govea, a naturalized U.S. citizen who emigrated from Mexico, added: "I'm not sure what to expect … I hope that he brings much-needed reform to the church."
At a news conference in Seattle, Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain said he began praying for the new pope weeks ago and was watching television when puffs of white smoke went up at the Sistine Chapel, indicating the cardinals had made a choice.
The selection of Francis signals for Catholics "great joy and excitement," Sartain said.
Sartain said he has no reason to think that his assignment by Pope Benedict to reform the Leadership Conference of Women Religious will change under a new pope. The assignment came after a Vatican watchdog group accused U.S. nuns of holding radical positions on social issues.
Sister Cathy Beckley of the Sisters of the Holy Names was among the 500 who marched to St. James Cathedral last August to oppose the crackdown on nuns. But, on Wednesday, Beckley said the choice of the new pope gives her a sense of optimism.
"I think he will be a pope for the people. He has a concern for social justice," she said. "His gestures of humility of bowing and asking us to pray for him. And his silence, his reverence."
But gay and lesbian organizations in Seattle and across the country expressed disappointment with the selection, saying the new pope's record reflects his support of the church's unequal treatment of gays.
John Dunn, a parishioner at St. Patrick Catholic Church and a former president of the Seattle Education Association, said he doesn't expect the new pope to "move at all in the teaching on homosexuality."
But he said he has reason to hope, saying the new pope, as a Jesuit from the Americas, "might be able to stand up to the Italian curia and carry out some needed reforms."
Francis is the first Jesuit appointed to the papacy, an aspect that drew plenty of attention at Jesuit-run Seattle University (SU).
"That was pretty cool to see," said Sara Bernard-Hoverstad, a student campus minister. Though the new pope may be more conservative on social issues than she is, "I'm pretty hopeful about how in touch with the people he is," she said.
She read that he had met with people who have AIDS and HIV and washed their feet, symbolizing affection and concern.
SU President Stephen Sundborg said he's delighted by the choice but not primarily because Francis is a fellow Jesuit.
More important, Sundborg said, is that the new pope is from Latin America "and he lives a very simple lifestyle … he has been identified with the people and their poverty."
Shirley Adler, who runs a bookstore on the grounds of St. James Cathedral and was taught by Jesuits, said, "Jesuits are great scripture scholars."
"They tend to be concerned with social-justice issues for all kinds of people," she said. "They are inspiring and give hope."
At the Catholic Newman Center at the University of Washington, students and ministry staff cheered the announcement and toasted with glasses of boxed wine.
The Rev. Lukasz Misko, unfamiliar with Cardinal Bergoglio, said he was hoping for "anybody who's able to jazz up the world for the gospel" and communicate the Catholic faith in a new way.

Our market economy still relies hugely on women's unpaid caring.
JUST as the old man began climbing on, the bus pulled away from the kerb. He fell back, hitting his head on hot concrete, then lay there stiffly, legs on the road, torso on the footpath.
''Call an ambulance,'' screamed some schoolkids and a big guy in shorts was phoning as we piled off the bus. A lean woman with cropped hair had already sprung into action. She sat cradling the man's head in her hands.
''It's OK, just relax,'' she told him, oblivious to the blood smearing her own hand. ''It's going to be OK.''
It was a boiling Melbourne day with a foul northerly. The man, who I'll call Jim, was tall and thin, with a pale face and creamy, prominent teeth that might have been false. He wore a white shirt, suit pants and tan slip-ons. His shopping bag held milk and two bottles of lemonade.
I squatted beside it, and took one of his knotty hands in mine. I didn't know what else to do, so I just stroked it softly with my thumb.
The short-haired woman radiated calm. Was she a yoga teacher? A counsellor? A nun? ''It's OK, Jim,'' she said, patting his head. ''Help is on its way.''
''I don't want to go to hospital. I want to go home,'' he said, trying to hoist himself up.
''Just relax, Jim,'' she crooned. ''Lie down. It's OK.''
A small crowd had gathered, as Jim struggled like a fish on land. ''Don't move him,'' someone shouted. ''Keep him lying still.'' ''Does he need something under his head?'' called another voice.
A Liquorland staffer ran out with a pile of shopping bags. They became a makeshift pillow. The bus driver watched on, his face anguished. Traffic banked up. The bus was blocking the road, but Jim's feet were in front of a wheel.
''I feel like such an idiot,'' Jim muttered. ''I don't know why I did this. The bus was too far away from the kerb.''
A brisk woman in a red shirt appeared. A nurse (hooray!) out walking her dog. She asked pointed questions: Medication? Diabetes? Fluids? And was one eye always a bit bloodshot?
Three young cops turned up. ''What street is this?'' asked one. They were nice enough but seemed superfluous alongside these two magnificent women.
Jim tried again to lift his torso. One of his hands gripped my right foot as if it were a pole. ''My sister will be home in a few minutes,'' he pleaded. ''Just drop me home.''
''Lie down, Jim,'' said the nurse firmly. ''You've hit the back of your head. Lie still till the ambulance gets here.'' How long had we been here? Ten? Fifteen? Twenty minutes? These two women would surely stay all day if needed. But I began to feel like an unnecessary presence. My own attempts at soothing words had sounded hollow, tinny, compared to this capable pair.
And we now had police, a nurse, and an ambulance on its way. At what point might it become voyeuristic to stick around?
Not long after, I wished Jim luck and slipped away. I don't know the rest of his story. But I hope he made it home to drink lemonade with his sister.
I'm writing about his accident because it illuminates a world reflected far too rarely by the media. Commercial TV and many online news sites are often a scary litany of crime and outrage. Hostage dramas. Robberies. Bashings. Sex attacks. Accusations. Cheap abuse.
Yet the efficient, courteous response to Jim's plight was noteworthy. No one turned on the bus driver or whinged about being delayed. A bunch of strangers did what they could to help.
This kind of quiet, spontaneous helpfulness is, I'm sure, far more commonplace than a lot of media give us credit for. It just doesn't make for good TV (or multiple clicks) in the same way as say, a couple of yobs abusing a Frenchwoman on a bus.
Was it a coincidence that the two people who responded most generously to Jim were women? Maybe. Or maybe not. Our market economy still relies hugely on women's unpaid caring. And women still dominate the so-called ''caring professions''.
This ethic of care may be appallingly undervalued but as economist Nancy Folbre has written, ''without at least some altruism, we cannot reproduce ourselves''.
In an election year, with so much cynicism and distrust of politicians circulating, it seems especially vital to remember the importance of trust in our society. For the 15 or so minutes that Jim was in our hands, he had no choice but to trust us. And any one of us could be Jim tomorrow.

So .. yeah .. this is my first time trying to create a map using something else but pencils (read: a digital map)
This world is for my own skirmish system Whack & Slaughter and is called "Cunabula" - the Latin word for home or cradle ..
It's a small world with the Nordland (left, top) having roughly the size of Italy.
The geography is looking as intended: It's a fantasy world created by a shizophrenic deity (just don't ask the followers about the shizophrenia: they still do believe, the deity has got full control over his two faces ..), so do not try to apply any kind of logic here ..
Tools used:
- arsheesh's Tutorials
- Gimp
- Wilbur
- Powerpoint (for the text stuff, the emblems and the capital-icons)
Stuff I'm not satisfied with, yet:
Though the "Nordland" is home to a gothic/germanic warrior tribe, I'd like to mix in different cultures as well. I know two more languages: Italian and French - neither sounds agressive enough for this world. I'm lacking enough knowledge of other languages to make up nice names for stuff like Forests, cities and so on ..
Any ideas anyone?
Critic of any kind is always welcome
Thanks for reading / watching,

HAHA, I've seen a few people in my time be "promoted" to documentation.
In the outside world, it is called being kicked upstairs. I have seen some great worthies being given such kicks in my time!
Nice comic strip. It is very witty:)
Those who can't program . . . document? I may not be the greatest programmer, but I obviously wasn't the worst, as I never got the documenter job. Thank goodness!
hilarious.. was going to pass around the office then i thought.. i better becareful
Well such a promotion awaits some people I know as well.
this is quite a funny comic ! that guy looks scared out of his mind
nice comic thanks for sharing.
All the characters in the cartoon look far too normal to be programmers
People who want to switch careers take note. This is yet another way of getting that done.

I was born and raised in California, but God has taken me to different parts of the world. After graduating from college (2000) and seminary (2003), my wife and I ventured to Scotland where I completed my PhD in New Testament from Aberdeen University. While in the U.K., I taught at Nottingham University and then came back to the States where I taught Biblical Studies at Cedarville University in Ohio. In June 2009, we moved back to southern California, where I taught at Eternity Bible College and served as a teaching elder/pastor at Anthem Church in Thousand Oaks. In May 2014, my family and I moved to Boise to start an extension site for Eternity Bible College. I currently serve as the Vice President for Eternity's Boise extension.
I am happily married to my beautiful and energetic wife, Christine, and have three daughters and one son. In addition to my love for baseball and surfing, my family and I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, camping, having fun in the sun) and hanging out with college students.
And I love global missions. Though I live in the States, sometimes I feel stuck in the States. That's why some friends and I started a ministry called Touch Nepal, which is focused on supporting indigenous ministries in the (largely Hindu) country of Nepal.

[This just in from Byron Gaither, our very own consummate audio expert and Studio One know-it-all!]
Johnny A. is the torchbearer instrumental guitar rock needs in 2014. One doesn't have to listen too far into his discography to hear echoes of Duane Eddy and Link Wray alongside his intimidating blues chops—some admittedly big shoes to fill. But with a Blues Artist of the Year Award (2010) and a namesake signature guitar available from some company called "Gibson," it's safe to say that Johnny A. is the right guy for the job.
His latest record, the appropriately-titled Driven, might just be the perfect soundtrack for a road trip through the American desert southwest. A solo album in the truest sense, Johnny played all the instruments himself, produced, and mixed! His gritty tones are suitably mixed front-and-center, of course, dialed in with just the right amount of gut and reverb to evoke both danger and beauty in equal measure. Throughout the record, his guitars are balanced with a tastefully diverse array of percussion and horns. And hell, a little pedal steel never hurt anybody.
Johnny's got one of the slicker Nimbit store designs we've featured of late, opting for a more jukeboxy vertical layout instead of the more typical horizontal scroll, wrapped in a palette evocative of Driven's cover art. In it, you'll find no less than five full-length recordings, a handful of singles (including some yuletide classics) T-shirts, autographed posters, and more.

Last week Deloraine High School (Tasmania, Australia) held our 4th annual Battle of the Bands, and once again our PreSonus StudioLive didn't miss a beat! We use our desk for live performances as well as recording our CD each year—thanks to you guys for supporting our school!
The desk was fully tricked out this year, running all six Aux channels (six foldbacks) and the two effects channels, all Fat Channels were being used on effects, auxes, busses, main outs and the normal channels. It is the best desk ever! We use iPad integration to assist tune the foldbacks, and use the Smaart Wizards to tune the whole PA system. Thanks, PreSonus, for building a great desk as well as great software.
We love using Studio One 2 Professional for recording and mastering our own music. The native plugins are very useful, the DAW is so easy to use, and we get a great sound from the software every time. My students have learned to use PreSonus gear and software, and they can take the knowledge they learn to other outboard gear or DAWs… but why would they change?

Hey PreSonus! I just wanted to say thank you for your support of Baton Rouge Gallery and its Movies & Music on the Lawn series. This past weekend we were, as you know, pleased to screen "The Man Who Laughs" with an original score from Matsy. The weather was perfect and we had an audience of over 400 on hand for the event!
We've gotten such wonderful feedback at the gallery about the event. I know we had a number of people use the free passes, so I'm assuming that a number of PreSonus staff/clients were able to come and enjoy the evening.
Again, on behalf of the artists, staff and Board of Directors at BRG, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you and everyone at PreSonus for the generous support. I hope that you are as proud of the partnership as we are. I've attached some photos of the event.
Thank you!

After all, you might be the lucky viewer who WINS the surprise.
To call Jen Foster a singer/songwriter and leave it at that would be doing one of Houston's finest a gross disservice. A complete solo artist in the truest sense of the term, Jen writes and performs her own award-winning music, runs her own record label, provides music for film and TV, and somehow manages to tour to packed houses and festivals all over the country. So far, she's shared the stage with Melissa Etheridge, Brandi Carlisle, Edwin McCain, and many more. Oh, and she's also on the Board of Directors for the Nashville Songwriter's Association International.
Jen's also a proud believer in music as a force for change, and is the architect behind songwriter series The Writer's Share, which brought together Richard Marx, Keb' Mo, Mike Reid, and Chuck Cannon to benefit the TJ Martell Foundation for Cancer, Leukemia, and AIDS. She followed up with the Christmas Time is Here video collaboration project and She4Marriage Equality.
A model Nimbit user as well, Jen's slinging no fewer than four full-length albums, 11 singles, and a veritable summer collection of fashionable Foster-branded wearables, including beanies, rings, tank tops, t-shirts, bracelets, and—in perhaps a Nimbit merch first—CUSTOM DOG TAGS!

We've always tried to give Studio One users a lot to choose from when it comes to packs and loops and sounds and such. Studio One ships with tons of demos, instruments, drums, MusicLoops, and Impulse Responses. Recently, with version 2.6.2 of Studio One, we've added support for even more add-ons, and the first two off the line are Goldbaby Essentials and the Metal Pack for Ampire XT. Normally these packages are $29.99 each, but until August 30, 2014, we're throwing them in for FREE when you get Studio One Professional, including upgrades and crossgrades!
To claim this offer, all you need to do is purchase Studio One Professional over on shop.presonus.com, and Goldbaby Essentials and Ampire XT Metal Pack will automagically populate in your my.presonus.com account and be available for download.
Goldbaby Essentials for Impact features a whopping 500 samples from beatboxes of yore, arranged into 32 Impact drum kit presets and 124 new MusicLoops. These samples have been meticulously, professionally sampled by a real pro, and processed with warm, saturated, real-analog-tape-saturated goodness. Add to that the money, space, and time you're saving when compared to buying all those drum machines and sampling them yourself—and you can't deny that Goldbaby Essentials is even better than the real thing(s).
The Ampire XT Metal Pack features six new bröötal amp models for Ampire, as well as six new cabinet emulations. Furthermore, we've recognized that metal drums (and metal drummers) have rightfully begun to infringe on the guitar's monopolization of the metal spotlight. As such, we've included a brand-new metal drum kit for Impact, rife with clicky kick drums, anvil snares, and… well, metallic cymbals. All told, this package is heavier than depleted uranium, and probably about as dangerous.
We acknowledge that Nimbit wouldn't be the hot stuff that it is today if there weren't any artists around looking to sell music and merchandise—without them we are absolutely nothing. So, we decided to kick off an "Artist of the Week" series here on the blog to not only say thanks, but also to showcase the users who are making the most of the platform. I've cobbled together about a month's worth of "weekly" artists into this li'l wrap-up, and among tem are a Grammy nominee, a 3-million-plus selling band, and an ARIA winner—but who is which?
Read on…
Alpha Rev:
Much has been written about what it takes to be a musical success. Tour hard. The real money's in the merch. Engage your fans. You've heard all that a million times. Austin's Alpha Rev is 13 years and four albums into their career with no sign of slowing down, and have proven what many music bloggers seem to have overlooked; despite myriad flavor-of-the-week "best practices" for being a sonic success, ultimately the song is the thing.
And upon listening to Alpha Rev, the elephant in the room becomes so very obvious. Alpha Rev's foundation lay in a folky/rootsy acoustic aesthetic; familiar territory for seasoned songsmiths. Bolster said traditional Americana instrumentation with a killer rhythm section and a bevy of pedal steel and mandolin, and you're a step closer to arriving at the Alpha Rev gestalt. Add lofty, layered vocal melodies, elegant application of dynamics, and patiently-building crescendos that border on cinematic, and one could begin to imagine their sound.
Or, heck, one could just bloody well listen to it, because a ton of their stuff is available on the Alpha Rev Nimbit Store, including their three full-length albums and a B-side compilation. Strongly recommended. Good stuff. Check out New Morning.
Rusted Root:
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Rusted Root are all about the sonic melting pot, and their status as mainstays of the sweaty outdoor music festival scene probably helps with the "melting" part. Start with a hearty spoonful of jam band folk and fold in a 1/2 cup of vocal harmony. Season liberally with Latin American and African percussion spices. Add genius and let simmer for 45 minutes.

Mia Dyson:
Melbourne, Australia's Mia Dyson is five records and countless shows into an undeniable winning streak. So far, she's been found touring with Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, and Stevie Nicks, leaving a trail of won-over fans and ARIA nominations in her wake. Oh, and one win, for Best Blues and Roots Album. Her songs are clearly those of an artist who prioritizes balance—we hear fresh sounds juxtaposed with the traditional, all wrapped up in toasty blanket of heart and earnest. The result is a experience that is simultaneously warm, familiar, and refreshing, and highly deserving of repeat listenings.
"Idyllwild" is Mia's new full-length, and it just came out on June 3. Click here to learn more about Mia and hear/buy "Idyllwild" on Nimbit! And heck, grab a shirt while you're there, or maybe a copy of one of her earlier works. The Moment, in particular, has piqued some ears and fostered critical praise:
"The Moment puts Dyson in the same league as the great Melissa Etheridge and Bonnie Raitt. It goes down smooth, and pleasantly lingers in hearts and minds long after the record's over. "
-Performer Magazine
John Fullbright:
Oklahoma's John Fullbright is a songwriter's songwriter, the kind of guy that writes lyrics that make other songwriters cry "Why didn't I think of that?" John delivers his road-weathered ballads from a strong heart—one that's got a more than a few miles on it, and more than a few left. The man's a straight shooter; case-in-point, the new record, available now on Nimbit, is appropriately titled Songs.
Despite being a Grammy-nominated songwriter, killer vocalist, guitarist, pianist, and harmonica player, he is only kind of good at dominoes.
'Songs' is a warm, winning and plainspoken Americana album that builds on the authority and charm of 'From the Ground Up' not by musical-muscle flexing, but by its clarity and simmering intensity."
— Jim Fusilli, The Wall Street Journal

Supreme Court Rules Prop. 8 Unconstitutional
By Laura Mason on August 04, 2010 2:45 PM
The city of San Francisco can breathe a collective sigh of relief this afternoon. After a months-long, ugly duel over Prop. 8, the District Court Judge Vaughn Walker (a gay man himself) ruled the measure unconstitutional under due-process and equal protection clauses.

Help Me Choose: Intel Processors
The processor or CPU processes the critical information and instructions that make your computer perform. Think of it as the system's brain, enabling it to run the applications and other operations.
The speed at which your system runs programs, loads images and downloads files depends in part on the processor. Bandwidth, clock speed and the number of cores in the processor all help determine processor performance. As a general rule, a higher number indicates higher performance.
Upgrading a processor after you purchase your computer can be costly and difficult. Because of this, Dell recommends that you choose a processor with enough performance to meet your needs well into the future.
Intel® Core™ i3, i5 and i7 processors are designed to deliver faster and smarter performance. Depending on the processor you choose, you can get more multitasking capacity, extra speed on demand and breakthrough performance on digital media consumption and creation. For example, with the Intel® Core™ i5 processor, you have the ability to download and edit high-definition (HD) videos, watch HD movies or run multiple applications simultaneously with virus protection in the background.
|If you need...
Ultimate performance: Accelerates everything! Intel® Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost Technology unlock your full potential with the ultimate smart performance of a Dell™ PC powered by the Intel® Core™ i7 processor.
Intel Core i7 Processor
Turbo-charged performance: Features smart multitasking support. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology automatically speeds up your processor when your PC needs extra performance.
Intel Core i5 Processor
Fast and smart performance: A Dell PC powered by the Intel® Core™ i3 processor delivers a fast, responsive experience so you can do the things you love.
Intel Core i3 Processor
An efficient 64-bit dual-core processor able to access and work with data at fast speeds.
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor
The low-cost option for efficient, high-performance Intel Core technology.
Intel® Core™ 2 Solo Processor
|Which processor is best for me?
Today, AMD offers two APU levels: C-series and E-series. The C-Series is designed to deliver an amazing HD internet experience, while the E-Series is part of AMD's VISION technology platform, designed to deliver the ultimate visual experience. While both series include on-processor graphics, AMD E-Series APUs can also support "switchable" graphics, meaning the system using the on-processor graphics for mainstream activities such as reading email or writing notes can "switch" to power on the optional discrete graphics for activities such as gaming, watching or transcoding HD video, or editing photos. Depending on the number of cores within each processor, you can get more multitasking capability, extra speed or advanced digital media consumption
|AMD C-Series APU
HD Internet Technology is AMD's APU-based technology for netbooks and entry-level laptops that enables smooth HD-streaming video, fast internet browsing and long battery life. Users can enjoy smooth HD-streaming video, rich online content and faster web surfing for favorite social media sites.
|AMD E-Series APU
Vision technology is a combination of advanced HD graphics and multi-core PC processors in one efficient and powerful platform. It enables quick loading, rich web content and sharp photos, watching hours of HD video playback in beautiful detail and color, and playing casual games with smooth, realistic graphics.
When choosing a multi-core processor, it helps to know what a core does. A processor core channels the data threads that carry out the commands required to run the applications on your computer. Older, single-core processors could only process one thread at a time. When processing more than one task, such as surfing the web while playing an MP3, single-core processors alternated between each thread, processing a small chunk of data each time. This often resulted in a noticeable system slowdown.
Dual-core processors gave birth to parallel processing — the ability to process multiple data threads simultaneously. Processors such as the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor use two cores within a single processor so that you can easily watch movies while running a virus scan, rip CDs while listening to MP3s or play games while downloading files.
Quad-core processors, such as the Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor, take the performance advantages of dual-core processors to the next level by delivering four complete execution cores within a single processor.
Finally, the Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Core i7 processor Extreme Edition offer incredible levels of multi-core performance. Through their use of Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, these processors are capable of processing up to eight software threads simultaneously on four cores.
A — Core Indicator
- Single-core processors provide just the right amount of power for everyday applications such as emailing or creating spreadsheets.
- Dual-core processors are composed of two cores on one single processor, giving you even more power to multitask so you can download files, watch movies or play games.
This is known as the processor number. In general, the higher the processor's number the higher the performance.C — Type of APU

Sweet William is the common name for the barbatus species of dianthus and is a favorite spring blooming plant. Although botanically considered a biennial, there has been enough breeding in this genus that many commercial varieties now flower first year from sowing, and are treated by most growers as annuals. Sweet William dianthus has characteristic little flowers with fringed petals of red, pink, purple or violet, with many cultivars offering a pleasing spicy fragrance. There are both dwarf bedding types of Sweet William, as well as taller cut flower varieties.

Yuvraj Singh had just clobbered Delhi Daredevils medium pacer Rahul Shukla for four consecutive sixes off the first four legal deliveries he had faced of the final over of the Royal Challengers Bangalore innings. In the final delivery, the beleaguered bowler managed to produce a dot ball by foxing Yuvraj with a slower one.
Shukla had conceded two extras - a wide and a no-ball - and had ended up sending down eight deliveries. But such was the carnage created by Yuvraj, that everyone including the umpires lost count of when the over should have come to an end.
Childlike thrill
Yuvraj, like a schoolboy pleased after hitting the ball to all corners of the mohalla, wanted to face another delivery and indicated the same. The bowler himself, in a daze, began walking back to his mark, and it even took the umpires a while to realise that the innings was over.
When Yuvraj Singh bats like he did on Tuesday, on way to making an unbeaten 68 off 29, the sheer audacity of the stroke play can mesmerize those witnessing the innings.
Over the course of two consecutive innings - he had scored 83 off 38 balls versus Rajasthan Royals (in a losing cause) - Yuvraj transformed into the match-winner Bangalore believed was worth spending Rs 14 crore on.
Bangalore, after being asked to bat, finished at 186 for four, a target Delhi well short by 16 runs in spite of a fighting 37 off 20 from Kedar Jadhav, thirties from Mayank Agarwal and Kevin Pietersen and a 48 from JP Duminy.
Delhis season went from bad to worse, this being their eighth loss in 10 games, while Yuvraj brought life back into the Bangalores campaign.
Before the Yuvraj show, the Delhi bowlers were in control of the proceedings and it looked like Bangalore might even struggle to reach 150.
When opener Parthiv Patel was dismissed in the 13th over, Bangalore were 95 for three. The dismissal brought Yuvraj to the wicket.
Cutting loose
AB de Villiers, one of the most dangerous batsmen currently, was out two overs later after making 33 off 17. Yuvraj could have walked back to the dugout even before AB if the leading edge to leg-spinner Imran Tahir had not travelled over the point fielder. However, Yuvraj settled down after this and it was not

Rhapsody revamps iPhone music app
Digital music service provider Rhapsody announced the introduction of an updated iPhone and iPod touch application that also expands to Apple's new iPad tablet, enabling the firm's 2.1 million subscribers to now download playlists directly to their devices and giving them the freedom to listen to their music anywhere, even when disconnected from the Internet. According to Rhapsody, the free application gives subscribers access to more than 9 million songs--users can create their own web radio stations, create new playlists on the go and purchase songs from Apple's iTunes digital storefront. Rhapsody subscriptions are either $10 per month (for access on one mobile device) or $14.99 per month (for access on up to three mobile devices).
Earlier this month, Rhapsody spun off from partners RealNetworks and Viacom. "Right now is the right time [to spin off]," Rhapsody president Jon Irwin said at that time. "The advent of networks, smartphones, app stores, awareness of subscription services and record label support--all of those are pointing to this being the right time." At the same time, the company issued a new application optimized for Android smartphones.

|Out in full force
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Combines were out in full force this week as the annual summer wheat harvest got under way. This year's harvest began much earlier than in years past. In fact, many people can't really remember the last time harvest began as early as it did this year. Drier than normal conditions allowed the wheat crop to mature much earlier than in recent years. Some farmers were in the field as early as June 12 harvesting the golden crop. The crews pictured were busy Monday, June 18 north of Holyoke cutting wheat. Normally, the wheat harvest is associated with July 4 activities. This year, most of the crop will be collected long before 4th of July activities kick off.
Holyoke did receive some moisture Friday evening, June 15, but not enough to slow harvesters down. Official weather observer Dan Kafka recorded just over a half inch of rain southwest of Holyoke where he observes and records the weather each week. He noted the half inch was recorded at his location and unfortunately was not widespread. —Enterprise photos

Pressuring GOP, Obama takes his fiscal plan to Pa.
HATFIELD -- President Barack Obama argued Friday that allowing taxes to rise for the middle class would amount to a "lump of coal for Christmas."
Obama took his case to an audience in a Philadelphia suburb, saying that this move would present a "Scrooge Christmas" for millions of wage-earners. Speaking at a toy factory, the president said Republicans should extend existing Bush-era tax rates for households earning $250,000 or less, while allowing increases to kick in for the wealthy.
Obama said he believed both parties "can and will work together" to reach a deal "in a way that's balanced and is fair."
White House officials hoped the trip would build momentum for Obama's case, even as Republicans describe the outing as an obstacle to fruitful talks. The road trip was part of a dual White House strategy of having the president's team meet with members of Congress while Obama travels the country to pressure Congress to act.
Obama spoke at the Rodon Group, showcasing the toy manufacturer, whose products include K'NEX Building Sets, as a business that depends on middle-class consumers during the holiday season.
The president joked that he's keeping his own "naughty and nice list" for members of Congress -- and only some would get a K'NEX set for Christmas.

|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Henttonen, H. & Tikhonov, A.
|Black, P., González, S. (Deer Red List Authority) & Schipper, J. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
This species is listed as Least Concern due to a wide circumpolar distribution and presumed large populations.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The reindeer has a circumpolar distribution in the tundra and taiga zones of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America (Corbet 1978, Hall 1981, Koubek and Zima 1999, Wilson and Ruff 1999). In North America, the range formerly extended as far south as central Idaho, the Great Lakes area, and northern New England - however, wild populations currently remain only in Alaska, Canada, Washington, and northern Idaho. In Europe, wild populations have a fragmented distribution in Norway (including the island of Svalbard, where there is a separate subspecies R. t. platyrhynchus), Finland, and Russia (including the island of Novaya Zemlya, which also has an endemic subspecies R. t. pearsoni) (Herre 1986, Koubek and Zima 1999). In Finland, wild reindeer occur in two isolated subpopulations, one in the west and one in the east. Semi-domesticated reindeer are widespread in Lappland, and a feral population has historically become established on Iceland (Koubek and Zima 1999).

|There are large numbers of reindeer (locally known as caribou) in North America.
There are approximately 30,000 wild reindeer in southern Norway and 10,000 in Svalbard (Andersen and Hustad 2004). The population trend in Norway is believed to be stable, and hunting is controlled. In Finland, forest reindeer (subspecies R. t. fennicus) were driven extinct in the early 1900s, but are now starting to recover as a result of animals moving in from Karelia in Russia and from some captive bred stock that were released (Ruusila and Kojola in press). Forest Reindeer remain very rare in Finland (about 1,200 in the eastern subpopulation and 1,000 individuals in the western subpopulation).
The Finnish population trend is difficult to determine, as the population in eastern Finland has expanded rapidly from c. 40 reintroduced individuals in 1980 to c.1,200 today, whereas the western subpopulation has declined from c.1,800 to c.1,000 during 2001-2006 (although in the last few years prior to 2001 it had been increasing) (H. Henttonen pers. comm. 2006, Ruusila and Kojola in press). Overall, the current Finnish population trend is one of growth rather than decline. Numbers in European Russia are very low with presumed ongoing declines, and the reindeer is now absent from large tracts of tundra and taiga. It is not known whether the small Kola Peninsula population in Russia is derived from autochthonous wild reindeer or from semi domesticated animals (A. Tikhonov pers. comm. 2006). The Novaya Zemlya subspecies pearsoni has a small population (less than 1,000 mature individuals), which is undergoing continuing decline (A. Tikhonov pers. comm. 2006). The reindeer's status in Asia is poorly known, although it is significantly more abundant there than in Europe, with a population estimated at 400,000 in the 1950s (Koubek and Zima 1999). There are also large numbers of reindeer (locally known as caribou) in North America. The feral population in Iceland numbers c.1000, and there are approximately 0.5 million semi-domesticated reindeer in Lappland (H. Henttonen pers. comm. 2006).

Two separate populations of this species are present in Mongolia (Litvinov and Bazardorj, 1992). No robust data on population trends or abundance are currently available, although the total Mongolian population is believed to consist of fewer than 1,000 individuals.

|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species inhabits arctic (including tussock tundra and sedge meadow) and subarctic tundra, open montane habitats, and open woodland, often on high mountain slopes and in alpine zones at elevations of 2,300-3,000 meters, where it feeds on lichens, mosses herbs, ferns, grasses, and shoots and leaves of deciduous shrubs and trees (especially willow--Salix spp.--and birch--Betula spp.).
A social deer, this species forms large regional herds of 50,000-500,000 animals which band together during the spring, although this herd is composed of generally single-sex subgroups with 10-1,000 individuals. Rutting takes place about October. Young are born in May and June after a gestation of about 228 days. One or two young are born; they wean at about 6 months; reach maturity at 2.5-3.5 years; and live up to 20 years. Thick fur and short tail are adaptations to extreme cold winters. Its ability to smell and find lichens and other food under snow is a special adaptation. The major predators are bears and wolves.
A highly nomadic species, caribou may travel 5,000 km/3,000 miles in a year, the longest documented movements of any terrestrial mammal. In addition, most populations undertake extensive migrations in the spring and fall, travelling. During these migrations, herds move at a rate of 19-55 kilometers/11-33 miles per day. The caribou's maximum running speed is 60-80 kmph/36-48 mph. Caribou are excellent swimmers, and will readily cross large rivers or lakes. When swimming, adults can maintain a speed of 6.5 kpmh / 4 mph, and when pressed can swim at 10 kmph / 6 mph. Population densities are very sparse - generally 0.5 animals per square kilometre of suitable habitat. However, during the migration period, concentrations may exceed 19,000 animals per square kilometre. In North America it is a migratory species, making seasonal movements from the coast in summer to the interior in winter, but in Europe reindeer are more sedentary (Herre 1986; Vevers and Pinner, 1948). The species migrates seasonally in Mongolia, but not over long distances (Litvinov and Bazardorj, 1992).

|Major Threat(s):
The Porcupine caribou herd in northeastern Alaska and adjacent northwestern Canada and the adjacent Central Arctic herd are potentially threatened by onshore petroleum exploration and development; industrial development on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge could increase calf mortality if calving were displaced south and east of potential development areas (Fancy and Whitten 1991). However, Pollard et al. (1996) documented high use of oil fields by caribou during periods of high mosquito and fly activity.
Poaching is a major threat in the Russian Federation (A. Tikhonov pers. comm. 2006). The causes of decline of the Novaya Zemlya subspecies pearsoni are not known (A. Tikhonov pers. comm. 2006). Loss of habitat in Finland (through logging) may pose problems, and there is increased disturbance to the species in some areas due to winter sporting activities. Hybridisation with semi domesticated reindeer is a potential problem for some subspecies and subpopulations (H. Henttonen pers. comm. 2006, Ruusila and Kojola in press).
White-tailed deer carry and disperse into the environment meningeal worms that usually are fatal to moose and caribou but are clinically benign in deer; hence, white-tailed deer, through worm-mediated impacts, commonly are believed to exclude moose and caribou from areas where deer occur (see Schmitz and Nudds 1994). Predation by an expanding coyote population threatened a remnant caribou herd in southeastern Quebec (Crete and Desrosiers 1995). Long-term steady decline in the taiga-dwelling population in Ontario has been associated with the expansion of forest harvesting (Schaefer 2003).
|Conservation Actions:
It is listed on Appendix III of the Bern Convention. Subspecies R. t. fennicus is strictly protected under Annex II of the EU Habitats and Species Directive. In eastern parts of Russia there are strict anti-hunting measures in place, but there is continued poaching (A. Tikhonov pers. comm. 2006). Hunting in Norway is also strictly controlled. In Finland, a large fence has been constructed between areas occupied by semi domesticated reindeer and forest reindeer, to prevent hybridisation (Koubek and Zima 1999, H. Henttonen pers. comm. 2006). Research is urgently required to determine the causes of population decline of R. t. pearsoni on Novaya Zemlya, and to identify appropriate conservation actions.
In China the species is rare; only a few hundred animals remain there. Most of its habitat was burned in great fires in 1986. It is listed on the China Red List as Not Applicable.

The thought of government IT departments promoting a new pen-and-paper data collection technology sounds like a joke, doesn't it? But that's what several local governments are doing. With a special pen, users mark up a paper map and those markings appear on a digital version of the same map. Each marking becomes a GIS layer in the digital version. Local governments are embracing this technology because many responders still favor using pens and paper in the field instead of laptops and tablets.
Conventional wisdom suggests fieldworkers must join the paperless world. However, some say workers whose core competencies involve field navigation, logistics and physical strength need not be expected to maintain extensive technology skills. The Adapx digital pen, called Penx, offers GIS technicians a way to do their jobs without requiring technology training for fieldworkers.
How It Works
The digital pen feels and writes like an ordinary ballpoint pen, but it contains a miniature digital camera and image microprocessor. The paper map, which any office printer can produce, is covered in tiny printed dots. The digital pen records the user's pen strokes and where the strokes appear on the map by reading the dots the pen touches. The paper version features a palette of GIS layers that a fieldworker might want to draw on a map, like roadblocks, temporary parking and pedestrian areas. The palette has a symbol representing each layer. If the user wants to draw a roadblock, for example, he or she taps the "roadblock" symbol with the pen and then begins drawing.

Fifteen years ago, Jon Krakauer captivated readers with the true story of Christopher McCandless, a young American whose wanderlust led him to Alaska and a mysterious, tragic end. Part of the book relates McCandless to another young man, Everett Ruess, an explorer, artist, and writer in the early part of the 20th century. Ruess disappeared in Utah under even more puzzling circumstances than McCandless, and to this day, his fate has never been definitely established. Now, author David Roberts tackles the 80-year-old mystery in a brand-new book (out July 19), Finding Everett Ruess.
At 20, Ruess and his two burros were exploring a Utah desert, far from civilization, when his family lost track of him. The burros were found, but to this day no trace of Ruess has ever been verified. Did he plan his own disappearence? Was he murdered? Did he fall and die in the wilderness? Lost diaries, weird "sightings," bone fragments, and DNA tests keep the tale unraveling, but Ruess remains forever 20 years old, an unsolved mystery and symbol of youthful longing and freedom.
For all who found the book and movie Into the Wild compelling, Jon Krakauer wrote the introduction to this book, so closely does he see the connection between McCandless and Ruess. Finding Everett Ruess may be the closest we ever come to really knowing what happened to a young man who once wrote, "I have not tired of the wilderness...it is enough that I am surrounded by beauty." The mystery of his fate still echoes today.

I was using InfusionSoft and found it to be VERY expensive and quite difficult to manage. ActiveCampaign has delivered nearly the same results I was looking for at a fraction of the price. I have managed to automate most of my marketing tasks that were edging into my sales and production time. In a nutshell, ActiveCampaign does what it says it will do, is easy to use and much less expensive than InfusionSoft!
Pros: Ease of use Features and controls Price
Cons: Help area could be a bit more in-depth.
Julian Kingman, CTO at Trainer Engine
The features rival those of high end automation suites (which cost in the $1,000's), with tracking and tons of automation options, at an extremely competitive price. It seems like they pretty much copied MailChimp's pricing (which is low), and undercut it by $5-10. The only con is the documentation isn't always so clear for every feature, and they're constantly updating (which is good), so the documentation is sometimes outdated. That said, they have chat support that I've been able to get a hold of within 5 mins all three times I contacted them who are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Pros: Price lower than mailchimp Features better than most (all?) marketing & automation suites Good UI White labeling (if you're into that) Excellent support The list goes on and on...
Cons: Documentation doesn't keep up with development (not comprehensive) Lists are confusing; why do you need lists when you have tags? Apparently you need separate lists if you want different confirmation pages.
Thanks for the kind comments! We have plenty of updates coming out in the near future for email, automation, and our CRM.
Lists are definitely more of a legacy item and tags are quickly growing to eventually replace them in most aspects. Things like the confirmation pages/forms/etc.. will all be updated to support that type of thinking in the future.

I've been using this email program for over 5 years now. We've done research on other products but have found ActiveCampaign Email Marketing to be the most reliable and mature application out there.
Great features and speed. Exceeds many of the features of the large ESP that i work for. Bought this software for a personal project and haven't looked back. As long as you setup all they domain keys, sender feedback loops etc that are required by the ISPs to achieve good deliverability, you'll save a fortune over Mailchimp or the likes in the long run. Plus i've found there's many benefits to hosting your own email system, loads of opportunity to customise and give that 'big business' experience with your email marketing and transactional messaging. Would deffinately recommend.

Over the past 5 years I've been actively involved in email marketing for several leading brands, and in that time I have used many of the leading email marketing applications, from hosted solutions such as iContact, to enterprise solutions that cost $10,000s like Lyris ListManager, and php scripts such as SendStudio. However, I had never used ActiveCampaign Email Marketing. Choosing a solution for a new company, I needed an email application that gave me the tools i needed on a tight budget. I needed quality reporting, and a robust interface that would be quick to get up and running - after all I want to focus on marketing not the application. I also wanted to sync my mailing list to an existing CRM database - I don't have time to manually synch up data through CSV files, or work with API's as is required with most other apps of this price range. ActiveCampaign Email Marketing delivers all this - within an hour I had installed the app and set it up. The interface is intuitive, and the
I have been using Email Marketing Software for years now, and I only have praises for it. It is bound only by your server's limits, and can send emails very quickly. It has been completely revamped recently, and version 5 simply blew the competition away! Now I finally have a fast, reliable and comprehensive email marketing solution, in which I can track all aspects of my email and autoresponder campaigns. Great job!
