The socket 479 is an Intel® central processing unit (CPU) integration socket that allows the motherboard and CPU to work hand-in-hand to perform functions. Most sockets have a number after them to signify how many pins are on the socket and CPU, which would lead many to believe that this socket and CPU both have 479 pins, but this CPU really has 478. It is named 479 to differentiate it from the socket 478, which is used for desktop computers; the 479 connector is used for mobile platforms. Socket 478 CPUs can fit into the 479 connector, but they will not electronically configure or work with this socket.
Socket 479 is a microprocessor socket, meaning it is made for CPUs that do not fit into desktops, namely mobile computers and laptops. Created in 2001, this socket has many different microprocessors made under its design. There are the Pentium 3-M®, mobile Celeron®, Coppermine-T® and Tualatin® CPUs all made for this socket.
There are 479 pinholes in the socket 479 connector. What is odd about this socket is that, normally, CPUs have the same amount of pins as the socket, but the CPUs that fit this socket have only 478 pins. This was done to differentiate the socket from the socket 478, which was made at the same time for desktop computers. Socket 478 CPUs can fit the 479 connector, but they will not work because the electronic and pin configuration is different. The amount of pins means many CPUs made after this socket can fit the 479 connector, but they also will not work.
To tell the difference between a socket 478 and socket 479 processor — because the CPUs looks relatively the same — looking at the pin configuration will be of assistance. Both CPUs have 478 pins, but the pin configuration is different in the bottom right corner. The 478 CPUs are missing two pin spaces directly next to each other, while the 479 CPUs are missing two pin spaces diagonal to each other. This pin configuration is one reason why 478 CPUs do not work with the 479 socket.
The minimum and maximum processing speed of the socket 479 presents a wider gap than most other sockets. The low processing value is at 700 megahertz (MHz), and it can go all the way up to 2,333 MHz. The higher value was not utilized well until 2006, late in the 479 socket's career, just before it was phased out for more advanced sockets.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

My Personal Story of the 1958 Ronnie Montrose STP 'Burst
In May of this year, Gibson released its Collector's Choice #28 STP 'Burst—an authentic replica of my long-time friend Ronnie Montrose's famous 1958 Les Paul. Now owned by an anonymous German collector, this fabled guitar once belonged to the renowned German studio musician Peter Weihe. It was almost mine.
But first, a little background…
Ronnie was born in San Francisco in 1947, moved to Colorado with his family, and found his way back to San Francisco with a flower in his hair in 1968. He was hired by Van Morrison to play on Tupelo Honey in 1971, and, in September 1972, he was recruited to join the Edgar Winter Group shortly before the epic recording sessions for They Only Come Out at Night. At this time, Ronnie decided to acquire his first "real" instrument—a 1959 Les Paul Standard, bought from J. Geils for the then-princely sum of $800. This was the guitar used on "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride."
Ronnie Montrose performs live at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco in 1975.
The very next month, the '59 was stolen right off the stage during an Edgar Winter Group concert in Dudley, Massachusetts, on October 20, 1972. Ronnie desperately sought its return, but his immediate priority was finding a replacement. Happily, a Memphis guitar dealer named Robert Johnson located a 1958 sunburst, and things were really about to heat up with that baby in Ronnie's hands.
On February 3, 1973, Sammy Hagar saw Ronnie perform with the Edgar Winter Group at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Several months later, when Sammy heard Ronnie was looking to form his own band, he went straight to Ronnie's home in Sausalito, California.
"Do you have any songs?" asked Ronnie.
By the end of that good day, Ronnie and Sammy had written the Montrose classic, "Space Station #5." That summer, Ronnie, Sammy, drummer Denny Carmassi, and bassist Bill Church went into the studio to record Montrose, and the '58 sunburst was the sound of that world-changing debut album. (There was one exception: a red '58 Les Paul Junior set up for slide was used on "Bad Motor Scooter.") Ronnie would also use the '58 on the band's superb second album, Paper Money in 1974.
So it was no wonder my heart was racing when I walked into Leo's Music in Oakland, California, in 1977, and watched salesperson Bill Acton climb high up on a ladder to pull down a '58 Les Paul they had for sale. I knew immediately it was Ronnie's sunburst.
As I sized up the guitar, I was surprised by its weight—it felt like a feather compared to a new 1977 Les Paul. It had been refretted with jumbo frets, had overlay binding installed on the neck, and the original tuners had been replaced with Grovers— which were de rigueur for the late '70s. I later learned some of this work had been done by Ronnie's luthier, Glen Quan. There were also a couple of gouges in the finish at the base of the guitar— the result of a Bigsby that had been removed. Ronnie himself had changed out the original Volume and Tone knobs for a set of early 1950s Gibson "barrel" knobs.
Moreover, an STP sticker had once been placed near the toggle switch—years before Ronnie purchased the guitar—and, after its removal, what remained was a red silhouette on the guitar's faded cherry-sunburst finish. This was later the basis for the guitar's nickname: the "STP 'Burst."
All told, the guitar had an amazing mojo to it.
Every Collector's Choice #28 STP 'Burst ($6,332 retail) is crafted with the full cooperation of Peter Weihe, Leighsa Montrose (for the Montrose estate), and the current owner, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, Ronnie Montrose commemorative picks, and a USB drive with exclusive video of the guitar's history.
Leo's had set a price of $2,500 for the guitar, and that was a whole lotta coin in those days (approximately $10,000 in 2014 bucks), so I told Bill I would be back on Monday to pay for it. He suggested a down payment to hold the instrument for me, but I declined. This was a monumental mistake.
When I went back to get it, there was simply an empty hook where Ronnie's guitar had once hung. Yikes!
Fast forward to 1979…
I was inside a San Francisco guitar store carrying a recently acquired 1958 Les Paul sunburst of my own when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was none other than Ronnie Montrose. I was predictably speechless.
"What year is your Les Paul?" Ronnie inquired.
He was already opening the latches before I could say, "It's a '58. Want to see it?"
As Ronnie looked it over, he told me the story of the '59 that had been stolen in Dudley seven years earlier. I could tell he still really wanted to recover it. As I was a collector, I promised I would keep my eyes open for the lost '59.
Ronnie and I became very close friends after that chance meeting, and, years later, I did locate the whereabouts of his '59 Les Paul. Unfortunately, he never recovered it during his lifetime. He was understandably saddened by that fact until the day he died.
I guess I felt somewhat the same about missing my opportunity to buy his 1958 STP 'Burst from Leo's. That guitar really had it all. It was used to record one of the greatest rock records ever, it was owned by my all-time favorite guitar player, and that player became one of my closest friends. It truly was the one that got away.

Cracks for aerospace industry
The constant need to improve existing and to create new NDT-methods poses challenges to the Aerospace industry. Samples with true natural cracks can be used to test and develop new inspection techniques and confirm the performance of existing techniques.
Trueflaw cracks are grown with natural thermal fatigue process and therefore have the same characteristics as service-induced cracks. We can control the length, depth and location of the cracks.
Cracks can be produced on real components. Purpose made or even scrapped samples can be used. The crack growth process is automated and we can work on several samples in parallel. This allows highly efficient manufacturing even for large amount of cracks needed for POD evaluation.
We are here to help you. Please call Kaisa Miettinen (email@example.com, +358 50 3656862) or Iikka Virkkunen (email@example.com, +358 45 6354415) to discuss more.
Ready-made cracked samples
Ready-made sample sets provide a cost effective alternative to custom samples and can be used for process verification, vendor evaluation or POD estimation. All cracks are natural thermal fatigue cracks and can be used for any NDT-method.

2 Stanley St Silverwater, Sydney, Sydney, 2128, Australia
Phone: 180.088.3964
Established January 2013
A good quality battery charger is one of the most important accessories any outdoor enthusiast can own. Whether you have a 4WD, boat, bike, camper trailer, caravan, farm equipment or anything else than requires battery power, adding a quality charger to your setup is a smart investment. That's why we are proud to stock a large range of CTEK battery chargers and accessories.
Why CTEK?
CTEK is the world's largest manufacturer of automotive battery chargers. They've sold over 1.3 million worldwide, make OE equipment for 40+ leading car brands including Porsche and Ferrari, and are at the cutting edge of technological advances and developments when it comes to battery maintenance. 85% of CTEK's chargers are actually sold to DIY enthusiasts – they're that user friendly and easy to install.
Why is a battery charger an investment?
A quality battery charger can double your batteries life – that's a fact. Many modern 4WDs and boats run two batteries these days. Camper trailers and caravans with battery banks can sometimes be left for weeks or months without being used, which is one of the major threats to the health of a battery. Not to mention the ever-increasing demand we're putting on batteries in vehicles – gone are the days when a battery was just used to start a car. We now run fridges, LED lights, phone chargers and lots more. Don't trust your alternator (only charge battery to 80%) or an unproven battery charger (Trickle chargers won't know when to stop and could over-charge batteries, damaging them) to ensure your vehicle's batteries are always fully charged and maintained for when you need them – trust a CTEK and you could double the life of your batteries, halving the cost of replacing them!
What charger for me?
We stock a wide range of CTEK chargers and accessories for every outdoor enthusiast's needs. From their awesome D250SA dc-dc charger, their one-of-a-kind Smartpass120, right up to their big M300 marine charger – whether you need 12 or 240V charging power, 3.6A to 25A, we have you covered. Check out the video on the website and browse through our range to see which battery charger best suits your needs. If you're running a remote touring 4WD with 4 batteries and 2 fridges, we can keep you powered. If you've got a tinny that runs a second battery to power your electric motor, we can safely keep your cranking and auxiliary batteries charged for your next day on the water.
Tips for choosing a battery charger
Do your research – is the charger you're buying proven and trusted by outdoor enthusiasts and manufacturers of automotive and marine vehicles that are leaders in their industry?
Is the technology smart – CTEK chargers boast up to an 8 step charging pattern – many less sophisticated chargers stop at 5 steps. The difference could save you a lot of money and could be the difference between a full or flat battery when you need it most.
Warranty – only buy battery charging and maintenance equipment with a strong reputation and warranty backed by them and their retailer.

If you have ever run into any car trouble, and chances are you have, you understand how frustrating it can be getting your car repaired. It may be hard to find a good auto repair shop with all the crooks out there. Use this article to guide you in finding that honest repair shop.
Make sure you know what is in your auto manual, and mark certain pages for reference. During auto repair visits, your mechanic will probably need to gather some information from you, about your vehicle. Sometimes you may find things that you can easily fix yourself and do not require a trip to the dealership.
Unnecessary Repairs
Be wary of mechanics that try and make unnecessary repairs to your car. A trustworthy mechanic should inform you about parts that are becoming worn and will need replacement in the near future, but no parts should be replaced without first getting your approval. If an auto technician performs unnecessary repairs or repairs that were not agreed upon beforehand, don't return to them for further services.
Ask your mechanic to use OEM parts. OEM parts are parts that are made by the manufacturer. Although using generic parts may provide some short-term savings, it's impossible to know whether or not they'll hold up as well as OEM parts. Getting a good deal on generic parts means you might have to purchase the same parts again and pay a mechanic to change them within the next few years.
Make sure the mechanic you hire is properly qualified. If a mechanic is not giving you straight answers or cannot explain repairs in details, you should keep looking. You want to be able to trust the person doing your repairs, so go elsewhere.
Unfortunately all car owners will have to deal with getting their car fixed sometime. When an accident occurs the next time, think back to the advice you were given in this article. The knowledge of working with a proven auto-repair service removes a lot of worry from an otherwise stressful process.

Length x Width : 2M x 2M
Wing Area : ~1000 sq. in.
Weight from factory: ~2300g Electric and ~2350g Glow
Spinner: 85mm or 3 3/8" FAI Tru-Turn | Clearance: Up to 23" prop
The Alchemy is the result of testing and competing with the widely popular Allure model.
The Allure is, by far, our most popular model to date and we are very proud of its reputation. We have built on this foundation and made some improvements to the Allure. The result is the all new Alchemy.
Cosmetically, we heard you and we agree! The canopy must be bigger. Now, the canopy is 4 inches farther forward and 1/2 inch taller. This gives us the ability to paint a nice canopy profile and improve frontal and side area where it's needed. We also increased the fin and rudder size. This was done for performance and balance. After testing the Allure with many sized add-ons and modifications, Bryan settled on the right balance of performance and style. Bryan decided to remove the counterbalance on the rudder for production improvements and aids the model in stall turns as well.
The wings are all new...
A new airfoil and section thickness. The tip is now 66% of the thickness and the root thickness is also reduced by 3mm compared to the Allure. This helps with battery consumption for electrics in the upper classes, helps with flying in wind, spins, and most of all, speeds up the snap roll. Side benefits are the 1.5 inch reduced span, 1/2 inch reduced tip cord, and improved molded center hinging helps reduce the weight by 100 grams over all.
The stabs are the same as the Allure version 2 stabs Bryan tested last year. They are smaller, lighter, thinner, and top hinged. Many improvements come from these stabs and we are very pleased with the testing the factory allowed Bryan to do.
Even with the increase in size of the fuselage, CK Aero is still able to keep the plane, including gear, near 2300 grams for the electric model and 2350 grams for the glow version. Just like the Allure, the Alchemy, regardless of the version you select, is set up exactly the same. We are very proud of this innovation and great improvement in design concept.
With its new styling, new paint scheme, and all of the new design improvements, we are certain you will love it as much as we do!

Soulbound checking
An idea I had would be something like a valuesource. You have the ability to determine what type of item something is, such as Common, Epic, and so on. My suggestion is another to check soulbound status of an item. It would be useful for setting up vendoring, destroying, and warehousing operations.

Service was magic The food superb Spanish style and flavors were to be savioured. The host was very accommodating having phoned when our online booking for 4 was not available for that evening and we booked the following. However a cancellation proved the opportunity for the original rebook. On the hosts suggestion we took the banquet menu for 4 persons ( 3 starters and 4 tapas plus a banquet main and chefs surprise for desert) The selection did not disappoint . The acid test would we go back..... absolutely .
A1 service, food, atmosphere. We love having this amazing restaurant at our door step. We are always impressed by the quality of the food every time we dine. Keep up the amazing work guys :)

Crabtree, S. A.,Bocinsky, R. K.,Hooper, P. L.,Ryan, C.,Kohler, T. A.
The degree to which prehispanic societies in the northern upland Southwest were hierarchical or egalitarian is still debated and seems likely to have changed through time. This paper examines the plausibility of village-spanning polities in the northern Southwest by simulating the coevolution of hierarchy and warfare using extensions to the Village Ecodynamics Project's agent-based model. We additionally compile empirical data on the population size distribution of habitations and ritual spaces (kivas) and the social groups that used them in three large regions of the Pueblo Southwest and analyze these through time. All lines of evidence refute an "autonomous village" model during the Pueblo II period (A.D. 890–1145); rather, they support the existence of village-spanning polities during the Pueblo II and probably into the Pueblo III period (A.D. 1145–1285) in some areas. One or more polities connecting the northern Southwest, with tribute flowing to an apex in Chaco Canyon, appears plausible during Pueblo II for the areas we examine. During Pueblo III, more local organizations likely held sway until depopulation in the late thirteenth century.

Review of Broken Pieces
Loved this book. It is the 4th book in the series and while it can be read as a stand alone, it is so much better when read in order. This is one of books that once you really get absorbed in it, keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen. It is not predictable but it does end with a HEA.

Questions? Contact Mary Newburn '97 @ email@example.com
Mollie Marcoux '91, one of the top female student-athletes in Princeton University history and a woman who has played an integral role in the creation and management of the sports complexes of Chelsea Piers, was appointed the University's Ford Family Director of Athletics in August 2014. She succeeds Gary Walters, who led the athletics program at Princeton for 20 years.
Marcoux graduated cum laude from Princeton in 1991 after majoring in history and writing her thesis on the history of women in sports from 1895 to 1946. She was a two-sport varsity athlete, earning four letters each in soccer and ice hockey. As a varsity ice hockey player, she was named Ivy League rookie of the year in 1988, earned first-team all-Ivy honors four times, was named the team's most valuable player three times, was elected team captain her senior year, was a first team all-Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) selection and a member of the ECAC team of the decade, and in 1999 she was named to the Ivy League's silver anniversary ice hockey team. When she graduated she was Princeton's all-time leading scorer and she still ranks first in most goals in a season with 35. She also earned second-team all-Ivy honors in soccer in 1987.
As a senior Marcoux was awarded the C. Otto von Kienbusch Sportswoman of the Year Award for "high scholastic rank, sportsmanship and general excellence in athletics" and the Patty Kazmaier Award as the member of the ice hockey team who made the greatest contribution to the program and exemplified such characteristics as "loyalty …, determination and perseverance under adverse conditions."
Following graduation, Marcoux served as assistant athletic director, assistant dean of admissions, assistant housemaster and coach of girls' ice hockey and soccer at the Lawrenceville School. In her honor Lawrenceville established the Mollie Marcoux Award to recognize the female hockey player who best exemplifies excellence in athletics and academics.
Marcoux began her 19-year career with Chelsea Piers Management, the company that owns and operates two world-class amateur sports complexes, Chelsea Piers New York and Chelsea Piers Connecticut, when its first facility opened in 1995. She quickly moved into senior management positions, becoming first vice president for strategic planning and general manager for the Piers' largest sports venue. In these roles she managed hundreds of employees (including senior directors, managers and high-level coaches) and developed extensive and cutting-edge sports programming for athletes of all ages and abilities. She founded and served as executive director of the Chelsea Piers Scholarship Fund, which since its inception has provided more than 2,000 scholarships to make athletic opportunities available to children in need. Most recently she has served as executive vice president and executive director of Chelsea Piers' 400,000-square-foot multi-venue sports complex in Connecticut, a facility with 375 employees, including a number of highly ranked professional athletes, Olympians, former collegiate coaches, former Ivy League and Division I athletes and sports industry leaders.
Marcoux and her husband, Andrew Samaan, are the parents of three children.

Readings in Game Theory and Political Behavior
Readings in Game Theory and Political Behavior
The role of mathematics in any study is to provide a language by means of which investigation of phenomena can be carried further than would be possible without the introduction of symbols. Mathematical formulations enable us to deduce the forms which action will take in highly complex social systems once some initial theory of action of the individual, or aggregates of individuals, has been postulated.
The Nature of Mathematical Analysis
A mathematical analysis of a field of applied science involves the study of properties of systems. For instance, a model to predict the number of automobile fatalities on a road network distinguishes certain features which are relevant and worth measuring. These may be the variation of the individual's driving ability with his age, physical condition, fatigue, and the amount of alcohol he has consumed. The type and age of the automobile, road conditions, and the type of road may be introduced as the other major factors. Given this information, it is possible (if the initial laws were correct) to construct models for any road system with any population make-up and, from these, to predict the number of fatalities. Without the use of mathematics we could not carry through this analysis without running into considerable difficulty. The verbal discussion of, say, the effect of a change in the distribution of different automobiles would become so complex as to be almost unmanageable. Once the problem has been mathematically formulated, little trouble will be encountered in recomputing for the altered conditions.
We often hear that no two human beings are alike, and, hence, mathematical methods cannot be applied to the social sciences. In the example above, classes of individuals were sufficiently alike in certain aspects which were of interest to permit us to construct a useful model of action. It may also be possible to construct models of mob action and more complicated political phenomena if we are in a position to make statements about the major features governing such behavior.
In some situations we are at the stage where the validity of a model can be verified empirically. Thus, we may examine traffic-death forecasts, forecasts for consumer demand, and election forecasts. If there is little correlation between our predictions and the events, we are in a position to reject our model . . .

There are only a handful of weeks each year that you can really enjoy the beauty of Yellowstone National Park - unless you prefer snow... We visited in mid June 2014 and had an amazing adventure! Here's our experience:
First - our educational preparation. We read books before any trip like this that will give us some insight on what we will be seeing. I LOVE how much my kids enjoy this and refer back to what they learned! Here are some of the books we read:
Then we created a "wish list" of animals we hoped to see.
These are the animals we did see in Yellowstone:
|Grizzly Bear at the east entrance.
|My son always refers to the "hump" when he sees a bear and tries to identify it.
|Bison (otherwise known as Buffalo).
By the end of our day in Yellowstone we had seen plenty of bison!
|These were next to the road but do not get near them! T
hey can surprisingly run very fast!
Some people were walking right next to them - YIKES!!!
|"Traffic Jam"
|"Fire Starter" (discussed in a book we read) or better known as Bison poop.
|A visitor during our dinner. We were inside the Old Faithful Lodge but he snuck in and was loving it ;-)
When I look at this map of Yellowstone I see a figure 8. Do you see it? We explored most of the park but not the center line of the "8" and not the section near Yellowstone Lake that runs south from the East Entrance. Since we were coming in from Cody we entered through the East Entrance. However, I have been told that the long winding road from Cody to the North Entrance is beautiful! Unfortunately we did not discover this until it was to late to work it into our plans.
This map is helpful to see where we decided to stop along the way. The visitors center at the East Entrance (Fishing Bridge) is on the lake and has a small museum inside. Across the street from it there is camping, shops, gas and restaurants. We headed north from the East Entrance.
|Past fire damage is very present at the East Entrance.
|The Mud Volcano. Worth stopping! I was amazed at the sound that this thing made! It was also a little scary to think about why it was there and wondering how long it will be before this area erupts again.
Next stop: the Lower and Upper Falls (follow the signs for "Artist Point"). This is considered to be the "grand canyon" of Yellowstone. Such amazing views!
There is also a North Rim Drive that takes you to the north side of the falls/canyon. We had limited time in Yellowstone (my priority for this road trip was Grand Tetons National Park) so we did not explore that area. I'm sure it is amazing!
Next up was Canyon Village and Lodge (at the east side of the center of the figure 8). There are plenty of places to eat, shop, get gas, and there is a great visitors center!
From there we continued north. This portion of the trip took a while for us. There was a "traffic jam" (animal on the side of the road that was causing cars to stop for pictures) that took over an hour for us to get through. Finally we made it to Mammoth Hot Springs!
There are MANY trails that you can hike and explore in this area. Well - there are many places to hike all over the park but this area was very easy to see the man made trails that allow you to explore most of the hot springs. Parking was hard to find during our visit. We had to drive around for a while until a spot finally opened. We did see some "illegal" parking but park staff were quickly issuing tickets! You will find lodging, gas, food, and much more in this area. However, the smell is one that is hard to get use to! It has a sulfur smell that always reminds me of rotten eggs.
Just south of the main area of hot springs we discovered a road that will allow you drive around some of the hot springs. It's called "Upper Terrace Drive". You can get out in a few areas to explore. But, this seemed like a great option for people that have a hard time walking around. You can see so much from your car!
On our way down to Old Faithful (where we were spending the night) we spotted a stop for the "Fountain Paint Pot". At this point in the day we were passing by a ton of potentially interesting sites. It was a long day and we lost some time due to traffic!! But, this was near the road and something about it peaked my interest. Also, I knew that in this area there were some of the beautiful clear and colorful pools that I had seen pictures of. I was glad we stopped because we did find a small one!
|The sounds coming from this was amazing and really made my mind wonder.
|A fun picture opportunity near the parking lot.
Then we were off to Old Faithful! We had a reservation at the Old Faithful Inn. There is also an Old Faithful Lodge which made it very confusing for us to figure out where we were supposed to go. But, eventually we made it. The inn is full of history and has a great atmosphere. Most of the time we were in the lobby there was someone playing a fiddle (or other musical instruments common to the era to the early days of the inn). My kids really enjoyed dancing around while we enjoyed some ice cream later that night. The inn is historical and huge! We had to book our room a year in advance. We learned this the hard way when I attempted to go on this trip a couple of years earlier only to find that EVERY hotel option in all of Yellowstone was completely booked for the summer! So, one year before this trip I booked our room with what limited options were still available. The timing of our entire road trip was worked around the one day we could stay in Yellowstone! We paid a ton of money but we did have our own bathroom (many rooms have a shared/community bathroom)! The room was actually very nice! But... National parks do not have air conditioning in the rooms. That wasn't a big deal since Yellowstone is much cooler than the temps in surrounding areas. Also, under the carpet of the rooms and halls there are wood floors that I assume are original to the inn. So, we could hear every step every time someone walked in the hall, the rooms above us (we were on the 1st floor), or beside us. I did not sleep well that night.... The positive aspects? Old Faithful was right outside of where were stayed. We could view the eruptions whenever we had time. Estimated eruption times were also posted in the lobby. This area has a big visitors center and a few places to shop/eat. The dinning options at the inn required reservations at dinner or a really late eating time. It was also expensive and not vegetarian friendly. So, we opted to head to the lodge for the a-la-cart option. That was great and had something for everyone. You could also watch Old Faithful from the dinning area. We did eat breakfast at the inn. It wasn't cheap but the entire vacation was full of over-priced eating options. My family selected the buffet and I ordered pancakes (the buffet was not very vegetarian friendly).
|There are some many hiking options and a ton to explore in this area!
The trails are man made and keep you raised up off the ground.
|Old Faithful!
There are plenty of benches to sit on while you wait for the next eruption.
The seats do fill up as it gets closer to the next estimated eruption time.
|The visitors center.
Then, we visited the visitors center, gased up and headed out. On to the Grand Tetons!
- We only spent 1 day in Yellowstone. Many people spend a week or more exploring the park. There definitely is enough to do in the park that could fill more than a week. However, for this trip and my family, our main destination was Grand Tetons National Park and Jackson, WY.
- The land is ever changing! Which means that the park is ever changing. There was one recent change taking place while we were there. They were working to move a road to another area due to a hot spring that popped up next to a section of the road. As a national park they can not just re-route the spring. So, the road was being moved.
- Leave time for potential "traffic jams" or construction. Overall, we lost just lover 2 hours of our day sitting in the car waiting until we could move!
- Do not touch the water - no matter how tempting it may be! Many areas have railing so you can not get close to the water (without jumping of the rail - which will result in a large fine). However, there are some areas along the road where you could stop and explore the water. This is not recommended for two reasons: it could be hot enough to burn you! Also, bacteria - there is a lot of bacteria that in the water. So, we were told to stay clear of the water - just enjoy it from a distance.
- Temperature difference: It is generally much cooler in Yellowstone than in the surrounds areas. so wear layers!

LONG BEACH — State Auditor Stacey Pickering has ordered the former director of the South Mississippi Regional Center in Long Beach repay the state $424,000 for improper payments to employees.
The Sun Herald reports the auditor has also turned the case over to the district attorney.
Last year, the Mississippi Department of Mental Health and State Auditor's Office launched an inquiry into overtime and other pay at the center, which is a state-run inpatient facility for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Pickering said former director Dr. Pam Baker used "call back pay" to increase workers' salaries without requiring the overtime work to be performed.
An auditor's spokeswoman said the employees were unaware they were receiving improper payments.

Crowns, Pounds and Guineas: A Quick Guide To British Currency
by Ellen Micheletti
If you read a novel set in Great Britain, whether it is a romance novel or a classic by Charles Dickens, you will come across references to money. The monetary system of Great Britain can be very confusing to the average American reader, especially since the system until fairly recently, was not a decimal one. The reader will come across words like pounds, shillings and pence, but just what were they, how did they relate to each other, and what in the world did regency bucks mean when they talked about betting a monkey on a prizefight?]]>Support our sponsorsHere is a quick guide to British currency along with some slang terms that were often used. All these units of money are those that readers of romances set in Great Britain will encounter.
Pound: A pound was the basic unit of currency. It came in the form of a paper bill, called a note, or a gold coin, called a sovereign. The slang term for a pound is a quid and there are other slang terms for various amounts of money that a reader will come across in historical novels. A monkey is 500 pounds, a pony is 25 pounds. You will often find those last two terms bandied about by gamblers in regency novels.
Shilling: There were 20 shillings to the pound. The shilling was the workhorse of the currency. It was used to buy food and household necessities like coal, candles and soap. The slang term for a shilling was a bob.
Penny: The smallest unit of currency, the plural of which was pence. There were 12 pence to a shilling and 240 pence to a pound.
These were the basic coins of the realm – nice and simple, yes? It would have been if those were the only three, but just when the reader has figured out pounds, shillings and pence, she runs into other terms which were used for some special coins – multiples and fractions of shillings and pence. And here they are:
Guinea: A gold coin worth one pound, one shilling. The slang term for guinea was yellowboy. The guinea was used in professional transactions. A gentleman paid his tailor in shillings, but his barrister in guineas. In one of Elizabeth Mansfield's Regency Romances, the hero goes out carrying his money in guineas. The owner of an inn is surprised to see a yellowboy in payment – he would have been used to being paid in shillings.
Florin: A coin worth 2 shillings
Crown: A coin worth 5 shillings
Half-crown: A coin worth 2.5 shillings
Tuppence: A coin worth 2 pence
Thrupence: A coin worth 3 pence
Groat: A coin worth 4 pence
Tanner: A coin worth 6 pence
Ha'penny: A coin worth 1/2 of a penny
Farthing: A coin worth 1/4 of a penny
Mite: A coin worth 1/8 of a penny
American readers wonder about monetary equivalents, such as the answer to the question: "O.K. just how much money would Mr. Darcy's £10,000 a year be worth in today's U.S. dollars?" The answer is – we can't say with any real accuracy. There is inflation, the cost of living and so many other factors that an economist would be hard put to give an accurate answer.
Venetia Murray in her wonderful book on the regency period – An Elegant Madness – says that a rough estimate would be to multiply by 50. So Mr. Darcy's £10,000 a year might be the equivalent of £500,000 in today's British money (roughly $775,000). The Economic History Services query service (http://www.eh.net) indicates that £10,000 in 1800 would have the same "purchase power" as £384,622 today, which, when converted to American dollars, is roughly $600,000 a year.
Another source puts the exchange rate between dollars and pounds in 1800 at five dollars per pound (it is now between 1.5 and 1.6 dollars per pound). If we take Mr. Darcy's £10,000 and convert it into 1800 dollars at the 1800 exchange rate, then ask how much purchasing power $50,000 would have today, the answer is slightly more than $700,000 per year. Either way, on an annual basis, Mr. Darcy was quite well off, an, depending on how he spent and saved, might have amassed tremendous wealth over the years.
LLB: During my recent visit to the UK, I went on a fascinating two hour night-time Jack the Ripper tour. The tour guide was most knowledgeable not only on Jack's crimes (down the last gruesome detail), but she also tried to explain England's old monetary system. It got so confusing that I gave up trying to speak about it on my audiotape, so Ellen's piece is very welcome! And even though their monetary is vastly more simple today, it still took me until the last few days of our trip to give the correct change to anyone.

Shinhwa's Eric Establishes New Agency E&J Entertainment
Shinhwa's Eric established a new agency with a manager he has known for ten years, and his agency will focus on his individual activities.
Earlier in the year, Eric and Lee Jong Hyun, his manager of ten years whom he has worked well with, established E&J Entertainment and prepared for Eric's solo activities. His first activity will be appearing in the new KBS Monday-Tuesday drama "Finding True Love."
Lee Jong Hyun has been the manager since Eric was in Good EMG, and he has maintained a special relationship with Eric ever since. The two of them separated from their agency Top Class Entertainment and decided to manage E&J Entertainment together. That is why the company is named E&J, standing for Eric and Jong Hyun.
Shinhwa operates under Shinhwa Company for group activities, but each member has an individual agency for solo activities. Eric will be managing Shinhwa's group activities as the president of Shinhwa Company and will do his solo activities through E&J Entertainment. Lee Jong Hyun will be involved with both Shinhwa's activities and Eric's solo activities.
Writer Jung Hyun Jung of tvN's "I Need Romance" series will follow up with "Finding True Love." It is a romantic comedy in which the former boyfriend of the heroine shows up and the drama will portray a story of finding true love.
Eric will play the role of Kang Tae Ha, a man with perfect visuals that is the president of an interior design enterprise. Kang Tae Ha is a character with extraordinary confidence in everything from work to love, and he is smart and has a strong competitive spirit and obtains what he sets out to do, but is a romantic man when it comes to love. He is a character that realizes what true love is when he reunites with his former girlfriend. Jung Yoo Mi plays the role of the heroine, and she is reuniting with Eric after seven years when the two starred in "Que Sera Sera."

I had my first big meeting of the new school year this week (1 down and only 800 bazillion to go).
The start of meeting season means two things. One, I had to iron my dress clothes and two, I saw the brand new crop of first year principals.
I don't know which circumstance made me feel worse. The wearing of a suit and tie did break my streak of 76 consecutive days of wearing shorts (oh, how I love the summer), but the "deer in the headlights" look that new principals have in their eyes always makes me nostalgic (and of course by nostalgic, I mean sad).
As I continue to fumble around with writing this blog, certain subjects come up over and over. New administrators seem to be one of them. Lucky for me it seems very appropriate since a high percentage of this blog's readers seem to be new administrators.
I guess that makes sense. I seldom meet a reader of this blog who is over 50 years old (if you are, email me and you may officially be named The Oldest Reader… quite an honor don't you think?… Plus you may receive parting gifts and the game version of PrincipalsPage.com).
Just like students, the new principals seem to get younger each year. It is like the school districts are hiring sophomores to run their buildings.
I remember when I was a new administrator… and young… but just barely, because the mind is not as sharp as it used to be.
The newbie's are so excited to begin their career in educational administration. And scared to death.
How can I be so sure?
The glazed over look in their eyes always gives it away. And as someone who had that look, I feel qualified to comment on it.
Pure and simple. It is fear.
Fear of new responsibilities, teachers, parents, students, school board meetings, supervision, speaking in public, evaluating staff, addressing employees… you name it and it makes them nervous. Really nervous.
But the good news is that if you are lucky that feeling passes. At least a little. I don't think as an administrator you ever completely shake it.
Another quality of a first year administrator: Fast talking. That always blows their covers as a rookie. First year administrators forget to breathe when they speak. They are so focused on spewing everything out just to "get it over with" often forgetting their audience doesn't understand a word they say. The blue facial tint (could be fear, could be lack of oxygen, could be a sign of snug fitting pantyhose or too tightly knotted tie… who knows) of a first year administrator is a sure give away.
By the second year in the job, these feelings go down by about 50%… so at least you have that going for you.
If you are a new administrator my advice hasn't changed (or grown in value). Run.
Like the wind.
And don't look back.
And I don't mean from the job. I mean for the job.
Exercise. A lot. And don't make the excuse that you don't have time.
Everyone gets the same 24 hours in a day. It is just how you prioritize them.
Make exercise a priority for yourself, your family, and your school. Get up early if you need to.
A half hour a day will do you good and everyone around you will benefit.
And if that doesn't work. Run.
From the job. There is no shame in hiding in your office, sitting in the corner in a fetal position, and rocking back and forth.
We have all been there (not really, I am just trying to lift your spirits if things go horribly wrong for you).
The good news is that when you survive the first year (and you will, especially if you exercise), you can attend a meeting and stare at the new crop of 2009 administrators.
And you too will recognize that glazed look in their eyes.

Joy No Comment Garden
Lavender is the mecca of all garden plants. Essential oil gurus swear by Lavender for it's antibiotic properties, sweet aroma, and it's ability to soothe even the worst of sunburns. While these great things are often mentioned when discussing lavender, it is often ignored that lavender actually makes a great landscaping tool. Bring this beautiful

Lavender not only has a great smell and color, but it also serves numerous medicinal and health purposes. Many people think growing lavender is difficult, but it's actually a fairly low maintenance plant. If you know what environment is best for lavender and what situations to avoid, then it shouldn't be a problem at all!

|IBS-PCS International Workshop (Dissipative Quantum Chaos)
PCS International Workshop :
Dissipative Quantum Chaos: from Semi-Groups to QED Experiments
Dates: October 23 - 27, 2017
Sergey Denisov (University of Augsburg, Germany & N.I.Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia)
Igor Lesanovsky (University of Nottingham, UK)
The footprints of the classical Hamiltonian chaos in the quantum domain are well explored (after more than thirty years of research), and the genetic links between its tokens - such as KAM-tori and Arnold diffusion and their quantum manifestations - are explored in great detail. The question we want to address is: Could something similar be done for the dissipative chaos?
The goal of the workshop is to bring together people from three areas, namely: experts on the classical dissipative chaos (with some knowledge of quantum physics), applied mathematicians working in the field of the dissipative quantum mechanics (Lindblad generators, semi-groups, quantum Monte-Carlo methods, etc.), and theoreticians / experimentalists dealing with QED and the solid-state quantum systems, where the dissipation and decoherence are parts of the lab reality.
• Open quantum systems: from many-body to a single qubit
• Quantum semi-groups and Lindblad equation: spectral properties and asymptotic states
• Floquet theory for open quantum systems
• QED systems: experiments and theory
Application: http://pcs.ibs.re.kr/PCS_Workshops/PCS_DQC_Application.html
Applications for participation are welcome, and should be made by filling the Application Form at the Workshop webpage by September 1, 2017. Accommodation costs and meals will be covered by PCS IBS. Limited funding is available to partially cover travel expenses.

There are numerous English and American poets whose works are voluminous and who like Shakespeare, Milton, Byron and Longfellow are as notable for the quantity as for the quality of their verse. On the other hand there are not a few who owe their fame to almost a single song. Such are Gray with the "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard", Cooke whose "Florence Vane" has been translated into more modern languages than there are verses in the poem, Lady Scott's "Annie Laurie", Foster's "Swanee River", and Payne's "Home, Sweet Home". In these latter the wedding of words and music

Thick snow blanketed the mountains and valleys in the Beotia region of Greece on February 7, 953 A.D., the day that a hermit named Loukas died in his cell on a remote mountainside. But Loukas did not die alone. In November of the previous year, he had prophesied his coming death. For weeks the peasants of the region had been arriving on foot trudging many miles through difficult and snowbound terrain to receive his last benedictions and healing touch.
None could have imagined then that Loukass humble hermitage was soon to become the great Monastery of Ossios Loukas (Blessed or Saintly Luke), a Byzantine monument comparable to the finest buildings of Constantinople, decorated with exquisite paintings, marbles, and mosaics. Almost 1000 years later, pilgrims still wind their way through the mountains to light a candle and pray for healing there.
The monastery is on the Greek mainland, almost overlooking the Gulf of Corinth and about 100 miles northwest of Athens. Until just a few years ago, a visit from Athens to the monastery required an arduous journey over a narrow, twisting, and badly potholed road. After the Greek government invested heavily in widening and improving it, there are still many twists and turns on the road, but one can comfortably reach the monastery from Athens in less than four hours.
This new road was not, however, constructed with the monastery in mind. Its destination lies ten miles beyond the turnoff to it. The pre-Christian site of Delphi, where the ancient pillars of pagan shrines and temples rise from the green hillside into the smokey-blue mountain air, attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world each year. Of these modern-day pilgrims coming to pay homage to the gods of a bygone era, only a few make the short detour to the lush, fertile valley of Mount Helicon, with the Monastery of Ossios Loukas planted on its slopes.
The comparative handful that make the effort are amply rewarded by the aesthetic and artistic achievement they encounter. Here the beauty of Gods own creation and His works through human hands come together in perfect harmony. Surrounded by almond and olive groves, and shaded by oak, chestnut, and ageless spreading plane trees. Loukas could not have chosen a more delightful site to found his monastery. Its amazingly wellpreserved paintings and mosaics are a rare and valuable tribute to Byzantine art. In the whole of Greece a land brimming with Byzantine relics only two other eleventh century churches have preserved their decoration to a comparable degree. Of the three, Ossios Loukas is the finest.
The man in whose honor this magnificent building was erected lived a life of complete contrast to its opulence. He was born about 896, the third of seven children of Stephen and Euphrosyne, who had fled the island of Aegina to escape the Saracens. When Loukas was born, they were living in Kastri a different name for Delphi itself. The oracle and other pagan shrines had by then crumbled or been covered by the sands of time. (The excavations which restored much of the ancient city were started only last century.) Byzantine Christianity was firmly established, and Loukas was born into an observant family.

BEST WEDDING VILLAS in BALI
What makes some Bali wedding villas so expensive?
Before I am going to introduce you to those fantastic venues let me tell you what is wrong with most villas in Bali that are popular for weddings.
They are too expensive! No, not on a per night basis. Per night those luxury villa are actually excellent value for money. But as venues for your wedding they tend to be expensive.
What makes them too expensive is their ridiculous minimum night stay requirements.
Don't know what I am talking about? Let me explain:
The majority of wedding villas in Bali require you to rent the villa for 3,4,5 or even up to 7 nights.
Those villas don't get it that the majority of brides and couples want to rent the villa just for their wedding.
They don't want to be forced to rent the villa for 5 days or more. The wedding, the catering, the flights, etc.. are already expensive enough. No need for unwanted, 'forced' villa nights.
Ladies, I know that. Many of you have told me. Thank you!
But many villa owners and villa management companies in Bali don't get it.
There are villas out there that get it. Villas that have exactly what you have been looking for. Bali villas that can be had only for a wedding.
That is why I have chosen them to be:
Best Bali wedding villas in Bali
And here they are, in no particular order:
All of those villas can be had for 2 nights only, regardless if it is high season or low season. Ideal for your villa wedding in Bali.
Why TWO nights? Why not just one night?
Because you, and your family / friends want to check into the villa on the day before the wedding and fall into the bed at your villa after your reception night is over.
Please note also that some the preparations and the setup for your big day need to commence already in the morning and there will not be enough time if you were to check into the villa only at 12.00 h on the day of the wedding.
I predict that in the coming years there will be more and more villas that get it. And which allow for weddings without ridiculous minimum night requirements
After all the villa rental market in Bali is very competitive… And the SOCIETY OF BALI WEDDING PROFESSIONALS will lobby on your behalf to make more villas in Bali affordable and in line with what you want…
If you want us to hep you finding a Bali Wedding Planner please press the button below:
One last thing: Would you like to be part of a friendly community of brides and couples who like you are planning to have their wedding in Bali?
