There have been a number of changes across the World of Disney recently. Aside from interminable admission-price increases, the renovations are categorically wonderful. Walt Disney World opened the exciting new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Big Thunder Mountain is again open at Disneyland. Seizing wisely upon the success of the latest blockbuster a number of Frozen elements are surfacing. And a couple new specialty drinks have appeared within the resort menu. True to the Disney we have come to respect and appreciate, they are incredible.
Two standouts are the Absolut Vodka Specialty Beverages available specifically at the Cove Bar inside Disney's California Adventure. Cleverly named, as they are conceived, the "Sideshow Novel-Tea" contains Absolut Wild Tea Vodka, lime and strawberry puree. It is something you will want to consume by the pitcher. Use caution: drinks inside the Disney parks do not contain aggressive amounts of alcohol, but this one tastes like it has none. It's delicious, refreshing, and, perhaps fortunately, costs just enough to discourage overindulgence.
The other jewel, the"Midway Martini", is an outstanding combination of Absolut Orient Apple Vodka, ginger liqueur, agave and cranberry juice. You don't realize how much you like those things until you've tried them all together in a glass at Disneyland.
It's really hot in every park these days. Sit at your bar of choice and sample one of the terrific seasonal offerings. Or, grab a favorite and tour the grounds with a handful of neon-bright-plastic-cup adult aid. Don't sweat the prices. The guy with the giant turkey leg paid more for much less.

The Pharmacy Technology faculty at our Stockton campus take a measured approach to the Pharmacy Technician1 training they provide. What do we mean by that? Pharmacology is all about dosage, so we ensure that our Stockton Pharmacy Technology program includes just the right amounts of classroom study and practical experience; experience gained in a realistic simulated pharmacy setting on campus, and during an externship off campus.
The result of this approach are graduates that possess the skills and experience employers are looking for in an entry-level Pharmacy Technician. So if you're researching Stockton Pharmacy Tech schools, you should add Carrington College to your list:
- Graduates are awarded an Associate of Science degree in Pharmacy Technology2
- Students are prepared for the National Certification Exam, resulting in the Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) credential3
- Learn to compound medications and to chart & dispense prescriptions in a simulated pharmacy setting
- Gain the skills and experience needed to pursue a Pharmacy Technician career in a retail or hospital pharmacy
We prescribe real world experience on our Stockton Pharmacy Tech degree
Students can only learn so much in a classroom, such as the administrative skills and legal guidelines involved in the profession. But sometimes you just have to be on the job to learn the job. To give our students an advantage in a competitive field, we like them to get as much practical experience as possible. Where better to get experience than in a real-world pharmacy in Stockton prior to graduation?
Before their externship, students complete coursework which includes classes that cover pharmacy calculations, terminology, and drug distribution methods and systems. They are also taught the abbreviations and symbols used when prescribing, dispensing, and documenting medications, as well as the chemical and physical characteristics of drugs. Graduates should leave Carrington College in Stockton with the skills and the confidence to:
- Demonstrate their readiness to take the CPhT certification exam3
- Display their knowledge of the legal and ethical guidelines of the field
- Complete the duties expected of an entry-level Pharmacy Technician
- Maintain precise patient profiles & histories
- Prepare patient prescriptions
Pharmacy Technology jobs projected to grow 32% Stockton! Get started now!
As the industry looks for a new generation of qualified Pharmacy Technicians, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment of pharmacy technicians and aides to increase by 20% from 2012 to 2022, and that's much faster than the average for all occupations.4
The BLS believes that Pharmacy Technicians who have successfully completed training programs like our Pharmacy Technology degree, those with previous experience, or those who are CPhT certified, are likely to enjoy employment opportunities in the coming years.
Pharmacy Technology classes are enrolling soon in Stockton. Speak to a Carrington College Enrollment Services Representative today and write your own prescription for success.

With a lineup that included Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays, it was very unlikely that a career .235 major league hitter would steal the spotlight, but for a week during the 1955 Caribbean Series, Don Zimmer reigned supreme.
Zimmer was the starting shortstop on arguably the greatest winter league team ever assembled, the 1954-55 Santurce Crabbers. The team boasted a mix of talent that featured established stars of the Negro Leagues, young upstarts from the major leagues, and homegrown players from Puerto Rico.
"We had a team that I thought that could beat two-to-three of the lesser teams in the National League," Zimmer said in a 2011 interview. "We had Bus Clarkson at third base, I played short, Ronnie Samford at second, and George Crowe played first. Valmy Thomas and Harry Chiti caught. Mays, [Bob] Thurman and Clemente played the outfield. People laugh when I tell them that. They say, 'No!' I say, 'Yes, that was our outfield.' … That was a great club!"
Zimmer almost played his way out of Puerto Rico that winter, but was saved by the last minute due to some quick thinking by Santurce's manager Herman Franks.
"I was struggling with Mayaguez and they let me go. There was some kind of rule that if I left Puerto Rico, then any other club could bring me back to Puerto Rico to play … went to Miami, and Herman Franks called me to play for Santurce … got on an airplane to Puerto Rico," Zimmer said in Thomas E. Van Hyning's "The Santurce Crabbers."
Holding down the middle of the infield, Zimmer helped Santurce breeze through the Puerto Rican Winter League for a spot in the Caribbean Series in Caracas. They were the clear favorites going into the series, much to the chagrin of Bobby Bragan who managed the Cuban entry from Almendares.
"I remember going to Caracas," he said. "Bobby Bragan was managing the Cuban team. He said, 'They said you got a good team, huh? You'll wind up second.' Ronnie Samford was in a bar that night with us, having a beer. I didn't want to say nothing to Bragan, but Ronnie said, 'You couldn't beat us.'"
Samford was right, as the Santurce team ran over the competition, winning their first five games to clinch the championship. Zimmer hit .400 with three home runs, including a leading off Game 2 against Panama with a circuit blast.
Zimmer was crowned with MVP honors for his performance, besting his teammate Mays, who hit .462 after starting the series 0-14.
"I was a cinch to be the Most Valuable Player of the Caribbean Series, except Mays got hot the last two days and took over," he said.
While Zimmer couldn't duplicate the success that he had in Puerto Rico in the major leagues, the experience he gained from playing with all of the veterans from the Negro Leagues and the Caribbean was invaluable in shaping the rest of his career.
"I was just 21 years old," he said. "Just being around them was good enough for me, learning and watching the way they went about things."

I don't understand why a quantile-quantile plot is linear. That is, if you plot quantiles of the normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ (on the vertical axis) against quantiles of the standard normal distribution (on the horizontal axis), you get a line. Can someone gently explain the linear relationship? What is the slope of that line?
Sign up

Why is there a linear relationship between the quantiles of a generic normal distribution and those of the standard normal distribution?
Let $y_t$ be the $t$-th quantile of $Y$, where $Y$ is normal with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$. So $\Pr(X\le y_t)=t$.
Let $X$ be standard normal, and let $x_t$ be the $t$-th quantile of $X$. We have $$t=\Pr(Y\le y_t)=\Pr\left(\frac{Y-\mu}{\sigma}\le \frac{y_t-\mu}{\sigma}\right)=\Pr\left(X\le \frac{y_t-\mu}{\sigma}\right).$$ It follows that $\dfrac{y_t-\mu}{\sigma}=x_t$.
We can rewrite this as $y_t=\sigma x_t +\mu$.
Thus whatever $t$ is, the point $(x_t,y_t)$ lies on the line with equation $y=\sigma x+\mu$. We recognize this as the equation of a line with slope $\sigma$.
Remark: We gave a formal argument. But informally, the result is intuitively almost clear. A general normal is just a standard normal scaled then shifted, just like temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is temperature in degrees Celsius scaled and shifted. More precisely, $Y=\sigma X+\mu$.

Tuesday night, during the live elimination show on The Voice, the top twelve became the top ten. One of the judges' performances, however, may have needed some tweaking. Shakira performed her hit single, Empire, from her recently released self- titled album. The Columbian singer was most definitely lip- syncing her way through her vocals.
Although the stage was full of fiery flashing lights, Shakira was noticeably disconnected from the song. During the coaching process, we often heard Shakira belt out beautiful notes. It's a travesty that on a competition show where contestants are judged on their ability to sing live that a judge and coach is not actually singing, but merely jamming along to their record on stage, parading around. It is a possibility that the songstress just didn't have time to rehearse, however, it is her song!
The Voice is currently at the top of the list for competition shows. X Factor is done and American Idol is on its last breath, but there's something special about The Voice. It could be that the show is more about the coaches than the contestants themselves. The rivalry between the coaches each season is built up in addition to each coach's cemented status of "celebrity," giving endless promotion opportunities.
How well does a competition show predict a contestant's success in music? Probably not very well. We have seen many stars in the last fifteen years who have fizzled out just after their television debuts. A handful have had phenomenal success, but the old adage goes back to- "not everyone can be famous."
Keep in mind that these shows are basing vocal ability on a budding star's ability to sing their version of an already famous song. Only time will tell the success of these contestants. As for Shakira, her "Empire" is of a different nature than she teaches.

Leanne Bearden's body has been found after an exhaustive four-week search. ABC News shared the details on Feb. 14.
The missing Texas woman's body was found just a couple of blocks away from where she had last been seen on Jan. 17. Leanne Bearden told her family she was going out for a walk near her in-laws' home near San Antonio, and she never returned. Leanne and her husband Joshua had recently returned to Texas after spending two years traveling around the world.
As the search intensified for Leanne Bearden, her family said that it was possible she had left of her own accord. It seems she was feeling "anxious" about transitioning back to a traditional life in the United States after the couple's long trip.
Sadly, KSAT reports that Leanne Bearden seemingly committed suicide, though an official determination will not come until after the autopsy. Bearden's body was found in the backyard of a home in Garden Ridge, in an area that is said to be heavily wooded. The homeowner found Bearden Thursday around noon, in an area he said was underdeveloped and typically not used. Authorities indicate that Leanne has been identified via the backpack and jewelry she had with her when she left her in-laws' house on Jan. 17.
Leanne Bearden's family has released a statement saying that they are "understandably devastated" and they thank all of those who helped look for Leanne and supported them over the past month. They add, "Although this is not the outcome we had hoped for, we draw comfort and strength" from the support they've received. The statement closes by sharing, "Leanne was a lovely and remarkable young woman and we will all miss her greatly."

Bravo hasn't made a decision on whether it'll renew "Princesses Long Island" for a second season but it seems that one of the show's stars, Amanda Bertoncini, is down for returning for a second season as well as starring in her own show.
On Sunday, Jan. 29, Amanda retweeted a tweet that a fan sent to her and Bravo, writing that she should have her own show. She not only retweeted it, she asked someone what the show should be named.
That same day, she also retweeted a tweet from another fan who wrote to her and Bravo that he's shocked that she doesn't have her own show.
Bravo's "Princesses Long Island" attracted quite a bit of controversy in its first season. It was accused of playing up to Jewish stereotypes and glamorizing the spoiled life. Despite, or perhaps because of, the controversy, it found an audience. So will there be a second season?
Another star of the show, Chanel Omari, recently spoke to Wetpaint Entertainment on the possibility of the show returning and who would be back. She said that the cast will hopefully know of Bravo's decision by February or March. She also said that she's "pretty sure everyone in the cast will be down for a second season."
If the show does return, one thing that'll remain the same is that there will be conflicts within the group. Chanel said that since season one ended, they "have all definitely been through [their] ups and downs within [their] friendships."

The Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons bring friends and family, but they also bring an annual rise in residential burglaries.
Since Nov. 15, roughly ten burglaries have been reported to area police. And that's a number that could rise as residents leave home for the holidays.
"When we got to checking, they had broken down the back door and had to pry down another door to in the house," explained Gail King , a burglary victim.
On Nov. 15, King arrived home to catch three burglars in the act. They made a break down Spring Hollow Ave., leaving King's home ransacked.
"The worst thing is, you're violated. My son is terrified right now," King said.
But King had taken precautions. Her doors were locked, bolted and chained.
She'd even left a light on. Now with Thanksgiving days away, area police are advising residents leaving town to convince burglars that someone's still home.
"Just purchase a very inexpensive timer that you can hook a lamp up to, so it will come on at a certain time, and go off at a certain time," explained Barry Pruitt, police officer with the Bowling Green Police Dept.
But of course, securing the doors remains a top priority. Officer Pruitt
says the average burglar will only spend 15 to 20 seconds trying to break down a door before giving up.
That's something the locksmiths at Parson's know well.
"They want to get in as quickly as they can, and get out as quickly as they can," Lisa Parson explained.
Parson's suggestion? Purchase an entry door security bar.
But perhaps the simplest advice, is to just call in a favor from a neighbor.
"Have someone check the house, maybe get the newspaper. If you're gone a couple of days, nothing says 'I'm not home' like a pile of newspapers on the front porch," Officer Pruitt suggested.
They're all tips that King hopes others take to heart to avoid an incident like hers over the holidays.
"We're just more cautious. We just continue to make sure everything's locked down the best that we can," King said.
Officer Pruitt's other tips for avoiding a home burglary are leaving a television on inside your home and installing motion detector lights outside.

May 19, 1998
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State University has named Michael Chasson as its mens swimming coach, Athletic Director Dr. Kevin White announced today.
"It pleases us to announce Michael Chasson will be leading our mens swimming program into the next century," said Dr. White. "He brings with him great credentials and a wealth of experience that will be an asset to the swimming program at Arizona State."
Chasson replaces Dr. Ernie Maglischo who announced his retirement April 20 after a five-year stint at the school.
Chasson comes to Arizona State from Harvard University, where he led the Crimson to six Eastern Seaboard Championships and four NCAA appearances in his seven seasons at the Cambridge school.
"Im excited about the opportunity to coach a tradition-rich program like Arizona State." said Chasson. "I believe ASU should be a school where in being in the top five should always be a goal and I look forward to that challenge."
Chasons best run came this past season when Harvard qualified nine swimmers for the NCAA Championships and finished 11th. During his tenure at Harvard, Crimson swimmers broke 27 school records and earned all-America honors 35 times.
Success came quickly to Chasson, who led Harvard to the NCAA Championships in his very first year with a 21st-place finish. A three-time Ivy League Coach of the Year, Chasson also led Harvard squads to the NCAAs in 1996 (16th) and 97 (18th).
In 1997, Chasson was the Head Men's Swimming for the World University Games.
Before arriving at Harvard in July of 1991, Chasson spent three seasons as an assistant womens coach at Stanford. During his time on The Farm, Chasson worked with Olympic coach Richard Quick in helping lead the Cardinal to one NCAA Championship (89) and a pair of NCAA runner-up finishes (90, 91). Chasson, whose primary task was to coach the breastrokers and sprinters, was instrumental in the development of NCAA Champions Jill Johnson, Janel Jorgensen, and Lori Heisick, as well as eight other NCAA all-Americans.
Chasson graduated from Stanford in 1974 with a bachelors degree in political science, and earned his teaching credential in secondary education from San Jose State University in 1977. He began his coaching career as the head coach of the Los Altos Aquatic Club in Los Altos, Calif., in 1974 and spent six years there before accepting the same position at the Santa Barbara Swim Club (SBSC) in Santa Barbara, Calif. During his tenure at the SBSC, Chasson placed swimmers in the top eight at nine senior nationals. SBSC placed in the top 10 in team scoring five times in Chassons eight years at the club. Chasson also tutored swimmers at the SBSC who placed at the World Championships and Pan American Games. Among the pupils he coached at the SBSC was Richard Schroeder, who was a gold medalist in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.
Chasson is married to the former Jill Johnson, a 1992 Olympian who swam in the 200 breastroke.
Arizona State finished with a 7-4 dual record in 1997-98 and advanced to the NCAA Championships, where it finished 10th.
Chasson becomes the seventh coach in the history of ASU mens swimming, which began in 1952.

I wanted soup!
Tonight I felt like soup, so I made soup! On Tuesday, my friend Laura blogged about a broccoli soup that she made and it looked absolutely delicious so I've had the recipe open in a tab in my browser because I knew I wanted to make it this week and tonight was the night!
I even had plans to take a picture of it but then I realized that I forgot to charge my camera battery. It's so not like me. I'm usually a photo snapping, uber blogging girl! I am going to go ahead and blame the weather for my general laziness and horrible mood lately. Yeah, that's it… the weather. *whistles*
Anyhow, you should all go look at her broccoli spinach soup because it was absolutely fantastic. I actually made a mistake and used curry powder instead of cumin like the recipe calls for but the soup was still amazing. I guess the two spices are fairly similar anyway (plus they are my two favorite spices) so it didn't really matter to me. Josh recommended that I make it again this weekend and make even more of it and try it with the cumin this time and add a couple of our own special touches to it. I'm excited.
Have you ever messed up a recipe and had it actually turn out pretty awesome too?
Josh and I are actually eating pretty well. I hope we keep this up!

China: May 2010
Why the China cross-cultural?
- In case you have missed it, China is in the news a lot. Much of the press is bad ( Tibet, human rights, tainted toys, taking our jobs, pollution); this is an opportunity to get a broader and more objective view.
- China is an emerging superpower where incredible things are happening. What China does in the coming years will impact your life significantly. For example, China now owns the largest portion of the US national debt (allowing you to keep buying on credit!), and I don't need to tell you how everything we seem to buy is made in China. China's foreign policy decisions will influence what the US does more so than any other country in the coming years. We need China and they need us—learning more about the place is an important first step for all of us.
- At no time in history has such a massive chunk of humanity experienced such incredible changes in just a few years. The place simply is mind-boggling. You can hear first hand from Chinese college students and others about these changes and what it means for them.
- Speaking of history, China has lots of that too. You will have the chance to see really old stuff (including the amazing army of terracotta warriors that Emperor Qin buried with him when he died about 2,200 years ago) and learn things that your history teachers skipped over because they didn't have much of a clue themselves.
- Here is a chance to experience a culture that is very, very different from your own. Several weeks barely gets your toes wet, but it is enough to be overwhelmed and fascinated by all that you don't know—just being in China is a cross-cultural experience.
Estimated Cost: $4900 (subject to change)

arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
Ligaments connect bone to bone. ACLs are in your knee and prevent your shinbone from sliding in front of your thighbone. ACLs also are critical for moving your knee backward and forward. ACLs often get damaged in sports, like soccer and football, where players jump, change directions quickly or are hit. ACL patients often report hearing a "pop" and then having their knee fail when the injury occurs. Treatment depends on the severity of the damage and the patient's age and activity level. Older, sedentary individuals typically do fine with a brace and therapy. Younger, active people often need surgery. ACLs cannot be sutured together, but they can be grafted. Material for grafts may come from the patient or a cadaver. Doctors will perform the operation using arthroscopic surgery, which is minimally invasive. A surgeon will make only small incisions and use them as a passage for a miniature camera and tiny instruments. This approach allows for faster healing, lower chances of infection and less disruption of surrounding tissue.

Get out the scissors, stamps, paper and glue and make something fabulous this month. You don't have to make it perfect and you don't have to spend a lot of cash. March is National Craft month and that means it's time to move away from the keyboard and get your hands dirty making something you can be proud of.
There are piles of great craft project ideas you can do for yourself or with your kids. From preschool crafts to handcrafted gifts for friends and family, the options are only limited by your time. Start the inspiration by looking around you. Search the internet for ideas ou'd like to try or head to your local hobby store. Browse magazines or the hobby section of the book store. You can find great ideas on a budget at Dollar Store Crafts or beautiful inspirations at One Pretty Thing. There are ideas everywhere to help motivate your creative adventure.
The trend in crafting these days seems to be "memory crafts" which include scrapbooking and handmade items featuring the preservation of moments, occasions and cherished events. Mix in a variety of supplies and techniques and you'll find yourself in the middle of a Mixed Media feast. Artists and designers no longer need to corner themselves into single specialty arenas. Instead, be free to mix textures, materials and methods until your hearts content.
There are no rules. There is no right nor wrong. Crafting is all about expressing yourself in your own unique way in a tangible form that others can see. From knitting to jewelry making and all the paper, wood, wire, paint and embellishments in between, there is room for more. The best part is that crafting can be a low cost entertaining activity the entire family can enjoy. You don't have to spend a lot of time and you can even use recycled materials. In fact, it's the "in thing" to upcycle or repurpose items for something new and fabulous through crafting. So, grab the kids and head toward any place your creativity can run free... go get crafting!
Be sure to check local retailers for craft events in your area. If you're in Denver looking for local inspiration, head to the nearest craft store such as Michaels, Joann Fabrics or Hobby Lobby. You can also find fabulous ideas at specialty craft shops such as Fancy Tiger.
Check out my challange for more craft project ideas to get you started.
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of websites out there sharing ideas for craft inspiration. Here are a handful of those online locations that encourage, share and enlighten us with creativity:
- 365 days of crafts
- Art by Jen Goode
- The Altered Canvas
- When Creativity Knocks
- Brenda Pinnick

This months greenhouse planting research begins with ground cover plant mixture. Add a cap full of Fox Farm nutrient, 1 cup of Miracle grow soil and moss selected growing seeds and mix together. Set aside the mixture, now you will begin an easy project that can add beauty to your garden.
Take 1 garden paver mold, choose the design broken effect. Take one bag of concrete. Add concrete coloring, follow instructions to desired color. Mix and add to mixed concrete. Mix well and add to paver mold. Let stand to desired dryness. When done remove from paver mold and prepare.
About 12 paver molds to be completed. The greenhouse growing of the broken effect moss is the ground cover plants that you will begin in the greenhouse. The ground cover when ready will have a moss-look but very strong ground cover. This will be worked around the completed pavers to create a real forest nature outdoors look.
Finished projects of the garden pavers will save you money and the ground cover worked in around the pavers will also save you money. Greenhouse projects can increase the backyard accent to a nature look, a modern miniature flower look, a fruitful look, and even a splender-plant look.
The paver walk will accent any garden entrance or you can center it in your backyard for a look to add for you fire pit table or a patio table. You would just need to increase the paver mold counts to the desire square feet you need. The ground cover moss will still add to the paver walk if increased to this, just add in between the pavers.
Watch the great video on growing tropical plants.

Well, I'm always a bit embarrassed to point to articles that are about me, especially ones that are decidedly generous – I'm British, remember – but it is specifically about some of the work I do when I'm not doing research, classroom teaching, sitting on committees, and so on and so forth. Things like blogging, and things that might be called "media outreach". Lots of people ask why I do so much of this sort of thing, and so it is worth pointing to this recent piece by way of a partial answer. (The other part of the answer is to do with the response to and (possible) lasting effects of this sort of work. It is surprising in both quantity and variety, and quite humbling at times, and I'll tell you about it in another post.) The article, written by Laurie Hartzell (with photo above left by Mara Zimet) for USC College News, goes a little into the reasons. It is partly based on more interview material gathered earlier from those College videos that appeared earlier. It is here. I hope it helps understand a bit, and means that maybe you'll be a tad less annoyed at me showing up on your TV again talking about some bit of science or other. Or just messing around, having a bit of fun with or near some science…
It's in a good cause. No, really, it is…

Native gives mom Mother's Day gift she'll always remember
Published: Monday, May 12, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 9, 2014 at 3:48 p.m.
Anita Richmeier experienced the surprise of her life when she and her daughter, Gabrielle Thompson, appeared on NBC's "Today" show May 5.
Want to see the video?
Visit on.today.com/SISM4x
In honor of Mother's Day, Richmeier was led to believe her daughter was going to read an essay she wrote about how great a mother she is, but instead she was surprised to learn Thompson and her husband, Sgt. Fernando Thompson, are expecting their first baby.
Thompson, along with several other expecting mothers, led their moms out onto the "Today" show plaza at Rockefeller Center in New York City to break the news.
"I was shocked," Richmeier said. "I have heard that grandparenting is better than parenting, and I love being a parent. I am just thrilled and so proud of (Gabrielle)."
With "Today" show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer standing by, Thompson and the other expecting mothers held up "Surprise, I'm pregnant" signs to show their mothers.
"This was a trip I will always remember," Richmeier said. "It was totally awesome."
Before her daughter made the announcement, Richmeier and the other grandmothers-to-be were kept in a separate room and without any access to televisions or cell phones.
"I had a feeling something was up, since we didn't have any televisions, and we were at a television studio," Richmeier said.
Besides showering both the new moms and grandmothers with baby carriages, baby accessories and $500 MasterCard gift cards, the "Today" show also paid for all of their travel and lodging expenses. Richmeier and her daughter also enjoyed a bit of sightseeing in Manhattan.
The trip to New York City for the mother and daughter was also a reunion of sorts, because Thompson's husband is stationed at Fort Riley in Kansas. The Army base is the home of the 1st Infantry Division, famously known as "The Big Red One." Fernando is also training at Fort Irwin in California, preparing for a nine-month deployment in Kuwait that begins in June. This will mark his second overseas deployment.
"My mom was shocked and had no idea I was pregnant," Thompson said. "She just started crying. I am a little jealous because my mom met Zac Efron."
Thompson's father, Vernon Richmeier, was also pleasantly surprised and became choked up with tears while recording the show at his home in Lexington.
Thompson, who discovered she was pregnant on Easter Sunday, also surprised her husband. This is also the first grandchild on both sides of the family.
"He didn't know about it until the show aired," Thompson said. "It was a real surprise to everyone at the same time, from my parents becoming grandparents to my husband becoming a daddy."

Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Fourteen thousand people are expected to attend and view more than 200,000 net square feet of exhibit space, according to Riddle & Associates, the show's management firm.If you attended the show in the past, you know that there's much more than exhibits and education. Not only do you get a chance to see all the latest equipment and innovations for the self-service laundry industry, you also get to pose questions and mingle with a host of industry representatives, including manufacturers and distributors from all across the country. In addition, you'll get the chance to chat with and pick the brains of your fellow laundry operators, be it on the show floor, at an educational session or even over lunch or drinks.If you haven't attended a Clean Show in the past, here's a brief rundown of what this industry extravaganza is all about.The Clean Show, which is among the top 100 North American trade shows and the largest industry show in the world, was "born" in 1977, and the show's sponsors include the Coin Laundry Association (CLA), Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI), Association for Linen Management (ALM), Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA), Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA), and Uniform & Textile Service Association.The sponsors provide educational sessions focusing on the specific needs of their members, generally focusing on new technologies, training, business management and environmental issues. This year, the show also invited other related associations from the United States, Canada and Europe to participate in the formal educational program.The Clean Show's audience includes store owners, plant operators, technicians, institutional laundry managers, distributors, consultants and buyers. The exhibitors include the manufacturers and providers of products, supplies and services to the industry. Ninety-five percent of attendees are owners or managers of their companies, the show's management firm says.This marks the fourth time that the Clean Show has been held in New Orleans. It's also the first time the show has returned to the Crescent City since Hurricane Katrina.HONING YOUR SKILLSMore than 40 hours of educational sessions focus on the latest technical information and trends, business management, and environmental and regulatory issues.

This session guides you through the options, how to integrate a system and how to use it to your advantage. Card systems have been around for nearly 20 years.

Rugged Ridge Splash Guard
Rugged Ridge, a leading manufacturer of high-quality Jeep accessories, today announced the availability of its new Splash Guards for 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler (JK).
Constructed from high-quality, high-strength, injection molded Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), the Splash Guards protect the Jeep Wrangler's painted lower body panels from rock chips, mud, water and debris splatter. The Guards are also paintable, allowing Jeep owners to further customize their Wrangler.
"I love getting my Jeep dirty out on the trail, but it's always a chore afterwards to clean all the splatter and mess that the tires kick up," said Chris Van Buren, a Design Engineer at Omix-ADA. "These Splash Guards allow me to spend more time behind the wheel of my Wrangler and less time cleaning it."
Splash guards or mud flaps are required by law in certain states within the continental United States. Please check your local laws and regulations.
The Rugged Ridge JK Splash Guards are backed by Rugged Ridge's 5-year limited warranty and are available online and through select Jeep and off-road parts/accessories retailers nationwide.
For more information about the Splash Guards, Rugged Ridge's complete line of high-quality Jeep and off-road products, or to find an approved retailer, please contact Rugged Ridge at 770-614-6101 or visit www.RuggedRidge.com.

Rugged Ridge Soft Top Spring Assist
Rugged Ridge today announced the availability of its new Soft Top Spring Assist Kit for the 2007-2012 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited 4-door models.
Spring assisted opening and closing is already a feature found on the 2013-2014 Wranglers from the factory; Rugged Ridge's new retrofit kit brings the same convenience to owners of older Jeeps. Designed to work with Jeep's factory frame components, the new JK Soft Top Spring Assist kit is relatively easily installed and seamlessly integrates into the soft top as well as other aftermarket factory replacement tops on the market.
Engineered to allow just one person to raise and lower the top, each Rugged Ridge kit features dual spring arms and a quick release locking mechanism that keeps the soft top safely locked in the lowered position for open-air driving.
"The spring assist simplifies the process of raising your soft top from a two person job to a do-it-yourself task," said Alain Eboli, Engineering Manager at Omix-ADA. "In older JKs, the canvas soft top is so heavy it requires the effort of two people – one on each side of the top. Now, with this retrofit kit, owners have the help of spring assist to lift the other side, making the process much less cumbersome."
The Rugged Ridge Soft Top Spring Assist is backed by Rugged Ridge's 5-year limited warranty and is available online and through select Jeep and off-road parts/accessories retailers nationwide.
For more information about the Soft Top Spring Assist, Rugged Ridge's complete line of high-quality Jeep and off-road products, or to find an approved retailer, please contact Rugged Ridge at (770) 614-6101 or visit www.RuggedRidge.com.

Rugged Ridge Drag Links
Rugged Ridge, a manufacturer of Jeep off-road accessories and suspension kits, today introduced its new inverted drag link for 2007-2014 Jeep JK Wranglers. Specially designed to fix steering geometry issues that plague lifted Jeeps, the new design reduces bump steer and increases ground clearance; keeping vital steering components out of the way from rocks and other obstacles on the trail.
Jeep's original design has the drag link mounted from the bottom of the passenger side steering knuckle, leaving the drag link especially vulnerable to trail damage. Using Rugged Ridge's new design, owners drill out the original steering knuckle mounting hole and relocate the new inverted drag link over the top of the knuckle using a connecting sleeve, gaining precious ground clearance.
"With bump steer, the vehicle might need constant direction adjustment whenever driving over a bump. Drivers could be holding the steering wheel straight, but the vehicle could steer to the left or right every time they hit a bump on the trail," said Alain Eboli, Engineering Manager at Omix-ADA. "By inverting the drag link, this problem can be greatly reduced."
Rugged Ridge's Inverted Drag Link is available online and through select Jeep and off-road parts/accessories retailers nationwide.
For more information about the Inverted Drag Link or Rugged Ridge's complete line of Jeep parts and accessories, or to find an approved retailer, please contact Rugged Ridge at (770) 614-6101 or visit its website at www.RuggedRidge.com.

Jeeps Five Year Plan
During the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Investors Day meeting it was revealed by Jeeps CEO Michael Manly the ambitious plans for the next half decade that are in store for the Jeep brand. The goal during that period is that FCA will launch Jeep as a lead global brand by boosting sales to 1.9 million units by 2018.
The beginning of this plan will be to launch the new Renegade late this summer that debuted in Geneva. Next will come a new unnamed compact SUV model that will replace the current Patriot and Compass that will arrive in mid 2016 to help celebrate Jeep's 75th Anniversary. A new generation Wrangler arrives in mid 2017 which will be followed by the all-new Grand Cherokee later that same year. And as if that wasn't enough the last new arrival will be a large, 3 row SUV that will have the classic Jeep Grand Wagoneer name.
Nothing but good things will be coming from Jeep.

Jeep at Beijing Motor Show
Jeep is making a huge splash at the Beijing Motor Show this year by rolling out four new concepts that are inspired by Chinese culture, design, and fashion. China is the second largest market for Jeep so it is no wonder they are trying to aim their designs towards the country and the market there that is growing rapidly. These four concepts are based off the Renegade, Cherokee, and Wrangler models.
Jeep Zi You Xia
The Zi You Xia which translate to "rebel" uses the Jeep Renegade for it's concept. The concept shows off a more refined design that features a warm chocolate gray paint job with dark bronze and charcoal accents on the exterior and interior. Based off the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing for the color palette.
Jeep Cherokee Sageland
The Sageland is a concept that was inspired by the landmarks and scenery of Shangri-La Region. The ivory-tri-coat exterior with bronze and satin accents portrays the mystical landscape while the interior is Nappa leather seats with water blue accents meant to evoke traditional Chinese knot design, as well as door inserts mimicking the ornamental Chinese door knobs.
Jeep Cherokee Urbane
The Urbane features a "Maximum Steel" metallic paint job and black accents outside. This concept is after the megacity of China which translates to modern glamour and elegance. Inside, Chinese calligraphy highlights a piano black and red Nappa leather cabin.
Jeep Wrangler Sundancer
The Sundancer is a mix of fashion with sophistication. A tri-coat Chocolate Brown metallic color with gold accents. The fender flares feature a unique Golden Bronze tone-on-tone ghosted pattern, and the windows have been treated to bronze tinted glass. The interior also features a sleek look with Berry Baltique Semi-Aniline leather seats add a seriously premium flavor, which is enhanced by premium leather trim with hand-sewn stitching.

The Natralock with Siren Technology is a security-smart packaging solution that integrates innovative packaging solutions of MeadWestvaco and a graphene-based conductive ink of Vorbeck Materials called Vor-ink. The product uses Vorbeck's graphene-based technology to guard it from theft or tampering prior to the purchase by making an on-package alarm.
The Siren Technology is the first-of-its-kind consumer product using graphene. The package's in-built technology offers unprecedented security, while facilitating the sales and branding of the products. The package offers three levels of security to the products. It raises an alarm when a thief runs off with the stolen product or when the product is removed from its package or during the tampering of the security device, product or the package. The system also triggers store exit security alarms in order to facilitate the tracing and identification of the stolen product.
The selection of Vor-ink was based on extensive testing on its flexibility and conductivity by MeadWestvaco. The graphene-based conductive ink was produced by Vorbeck Materials and MeadWestvaco utilizing the MeadWestvaco's web-based open portal called the MWV Exchange. The Natralock with Siren Technology is now in its final phases of regionalized field tests and is anticipated to be available in 2012.

What are the absolute-must-have baby items when you're expecting multiples? There are a lot of helpful sites out there, but it can still get confusing, since many other sites are trying to sell as much baby gear as they can.
In my own experience, the cannot-live-without-it list goes like this: car seats. A stroller with enough room for all your babies (or some combination of sling and stroller/wagon that accommodates your older kids as well). Simple clothes (onesies, pajamas) and diapers & wipes x the number of babies. A place for each baby to sleep. A safe place to put babies during the day. A feeding-the-babies plan (bottles and formula enough for everyone and/or a giant Boppy). Blankets.
Everything else (pacifiers, toys, books, specific brands of blankets/diapers/furniture, etc., etc., etc. ad inifitum) may prove essential or completely worthless. It's a process of trial and error.
What would you put on the essential list? What would you leave off?

Since Spike and Rarity make a good couple why not put them in this drawing. Sorry for crappy quality camera was working right so you get some what blurry image and um my hand. Enjoy.

Mardi Gras Party – who, whenand where
- 3
Thu 1st Mar, 2012 in Features
On Saturday night the Entertainment Quarter will be transformed into an amazing Mardigrasland theme park – promising an adventurous and sexy ride through a night of music, dance and electrifying acts.
Partygoers can expect to be taken on an experiential trip through Mardigrasland, a place with many different themed 'lands', each with their own unique flavour – as well as being entertained by superstar Australian and international performers and DJs.
The party runs from 10pm right through to 8am. Got your ticket? Be ready to show your ID as you enter, as well as your Mardi Gras membership card or concession card should your ticket require it. There will be a separate entrance way for Members and Premium ticket holders, where unique wristbands will be issued.
Here's the official map of the party below – and click here for a larger version.

NOTE: Each venue has a capacity limit. It has been common at previous parties for a venue to be locked down when capacity is reached, for safety reasons. That means no more people can enter unless a significant number of others leave it. With the star-studded line-up on offer, expect this to occur at this year's Party. If you want the best chance for access to a particular area at a particular time, go there early.

Having an awesome party
Mardi Gras is all about meeting wonderful new people, spreading the love and sometimes wearing next to nothing! We love the sexy atmosphere, but make sure you treat everyone with respect.
> Don't deliberately touch anyone without express permission.
> Don't insult anyone about their appearance – Mardi Gras is a place that celebrates the beautiful diversity of genders, sexualities, ages, shapes and sizes.
As with most big party events, you can expect to see Police and drug dogs. They may be present at the entrance and inside the Party. Expect pat-downs and bag searches.
ACON will be providing Rovers who will be patrolling all areas of the party looking out for your safety. The medical team is behind the Hordern Pavillion. If you or a friend need assistance, or you see someone in trouble, contact any ACON Rover or member of security – they are in radio contact with the medical teams and can call for assistance. If you or someone you know needs help, it is important to let ACON Rovers and Medical staff know if they have used any drugs or alcohol. Rovers and medical staff treat this information as confidential.
Safe sex packs will be available from the Information Kiosk in the foyer of the Hordern Pavillion.
Look after your belongings by popping them in the Cloakroom, located next to Hi-Fi Ballroom. Members and Premium ticket holder's wristbands will also give you priority access to the Cloakroom. The Cloakroom is run by the Metropolitan Community Church, and your Cloakroom fee is a donation.
For all lost property at the Party call ACON reception on 9206 2043 from Monday 5th March.
Above all, EMBRACE and ENJOY Australia's biggest LGBTI Party of the year.
Same Same will feature photos from Mardigrasland in the hours and days after the event. We can't wait to party with you on Saturday and see you again later for all the pics.
To all our readers – Happy Mardi Gras!

Situated at the top of Westport's main street, you can't miss the bright blue frontage of this cosy and welcoming restaurant. Owned by chefs Pat Kelly and Peter Carroll, it is well-established and has gained quite a reputation in Mayo for the quality of its seafood.
The interior features a lot of timber - painted panelled walls, well-polished wooden floor – and nautical bric-à-brac, in keeping with the emphasis on seafood. Although space is limited, it's comfortable and linen covered tables help to absorb the noise of happy diners.
Service is friendly as well as efficient, and breads and iced water arrive quickly to the table, with menus and blackboard specials, mainly fish, explained by friendly local staff.
Fish is very much to the forefront and can all be sourced locally; although there are a lot of chicken dishes and the 'Atlantic tiger prawns' (mentioned in the description of a scallop & prawn linguine) would be hard to find, the menu generally is very strong on local produce.
The offering is extensive. Ten starters are likely to include a rich creamy chowder, seafood cocktail, smoked salmon with crabmeat, oysters, and traditional Newport black pudding with seared Clew Bay scallops.
Main courses are listed under three headings, offering pasta and rice, meat and seafood dishes; meat dishes feature ever-popular sirloin, lamb, duck and as many as four chicken dishes.
The main course seafood section may prove irresistible, with halibut, turbot and white sole among about 15 choices on offer - all well-cooked, with generous portions served.
Starters range from about €5 to €10 with main courses generally in the €15 to €27 bracket. Some good home-made desserts with excellent coffee should round off a very satisfying meal.
From a good selection wine overall, house wines are about €22, with 8 offered by the glass at around €6.
The food is good and staff are local or in Westport for a good number of years, which adds to the atmosphere – there is a great buzz and this is a place where everybody seems to have a good experience.
