The Great Super Bowl Escape: Ladies, Quick! Find a Vacation Rental Home and Plan a Fun “girls Only” Weekend…no Pigskin Allowed!

Austin, TX (January 2008)—We’ve all been to Super Bowl parties. Too often they consist of a sofa full of guys cheering and high-fiving while they gulp down beer and chips. Meanwhile, their hapless wives and girlfriends make awkward small talk by the veggie tray and check their watches every few minutes. Sure, football is great for football fans, but not every woman gets all worked up over beefy athletes in tight pants—wait…let us rephrase that…Anyway, while some women do get caught up in the big game, there are likely many more who don’t appreciate the testosterone-y thrill of a Super Bowl soiree.

If you’re one of them, Christine Karpinski has a great suggestion: why not plan your own Super Bowl weekend getaway—just you and a group of your gal pals—at a vacation rental home near you?

“Think about it,” says Karpinski, the director of Owner Community for HomeAway.com (the online vacation home rental marketplace) and author of How to Rent Vacation Properties by Owner, 2nd Edition: The Complete Guide to Buy, Manage, Furnish, Rent, Maintain and Advertise Your Vacation Rental Investment (Kinney Pollack Press, 2007, ISBN: 0-9748249-9-2, $26.00). “You don’t spend enough time with your friends, you’re stressed out and need a break, and if you don’t plan something, you’ll end up making painful chitchat with your husband’s best friend’s new girlfriend—a chick with whom it’s a statistical certainty that you’ll nothing in common!”

Why a vacation rental? Karpinski says they’re fast becoming a popular alternative to hotels. After all, they’re no more expensive than hotel rooms (sometimes even less) and they provide the comfort and convenience you would find in your own home, plus a few extras. Most renters are excited to find their vacation rentals loaded with special features like large fireplaces, luxurious bedding, and soothing hot tubs.

Women hoping to avoid the football hype might pool their money with girlfriends and head off for a weekend stay at one of HomeAway.com’s thousands of vacation homes. Since there is a vacation home within a two-hour drive of most metropolitan areas, women all over the country can stay close to home and still enjoy a quick getaway. And owners are often flexible in their terms, especially during the off-season winter months when they feel lucky to rent even for a few days.

“Going away for the weekend is a great way for women to reconnect with each other, and this girl-time is especially beneficial during the drab winter months when we tend to feel gloomy,” says Karpinski. “And since the men folk are already committed to the television during Super Bowl weekend, most of your female friends will have no excuses not to pack a bag and head out for a fun weekend!”

So what will you do during your mini-vacation? Anything you choose! Here are a few weekend themes that a close-knit group of gals might enjoy:

*The Sleepover Spa Weekend. You and your girlfriends can put on your pajamas and settle in for some much-needed Zen time. Sip cool cucumber water as you give each other manicures and pedicures, or pop in a yoga video and have an energizing group workout. You might even book appointments at the local spa for facials and hot stone massages. Once you’re feeling like a million bucks, head out to a nice restaurant to enjoy some long overdue bonding time.

*The “Man, I Feel Like a Woman” Weekend. With all the men out of the way, this is the best time to indulge in all the girlie-ness that you sometimes stifle around your man. Lounge around eating candy. Blast Carly Simon and Jewel from the speakers and sing along as loudly as you want! Hold a movie marathon featuring all of your favorite chick flicks and don’t scrimp on the tear-jerkers. This weekend, the girls call all the shots!

*The Blast from the Past Weekend. So what if you have a husband, two kids, and three dogs back home? We’re still all kids at heart, aren’t we? This weekend you and your girlfriends can return to behaving like a bunch of teenagers again! Spread out your sleeping bags and play truth or dare. Gossip about the “boys” over popcorn, and break out movies that were popular when you were in high school. If you’re feeling particularly groovy, dress up and head out to a great club or bar. You’ll feel totally recharged by the end of the weekend and ready to return to adulthood.

*The Kids Are Alright Weekend. You may not want to hear this, but there’s a chance the hubbies will balk at keeping the kids and you and your friends won’t be able to find a sitter on Super Bowl Weekend. If that’s the case, don’t worry. The good thing about a vacation home is that the kids can hang out in a different room (or better yet, on a different floor!) while you and the gals savor some fruity daiquiris and a good gab session. Pack your blender and a good supply of kid-friendly movies and everyone will have a happy weekend!

“Even if you can’t get it together in time for the Super Bowl, you should definitely plan a fun weekend for you and your girlfriends soon,” advises Karpinski. “Women forget that we need the friendship of other women, and that’s not good for our emotional health. Check out HomeAway.com to see all the great homes for rent, zip out an email to all your friends, and just do it! Who knows? You may start a winter tradition that will rival even the most boisterous Super Bowl party—and in the future, your husband’s best friend’s new girlfriend will just have to fend for herself!”

I need help in AP Statistics....!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!?

A bowl has 5 red jelly beans, 6 green jelly beans, and 10 yellow jelly beans. 3 Jelly beans are picked from the bowl without replacement. X= the number of jelly beans taken. Explain clearly why this is not an example of a binomial distribution.

All you have to do is to consider the definition of a binomial experiment : it must satisfy four conditions

1 There are n identical trials.

2 There are two (and only two) possible results of a trial.

3. Probabilities must be constant for each trial.

4. The trials must be independent.

In this case, the trials are not identical becasue the number of beans is different every time.

There are three possible results.

The probability changes for each trial, therefore the trials are not independent..

It fails on all four conditions.

Bowl Game $111.53 In North America, a bowl game is commonly considered to refer to one of a number of postseason college football games. Prior to 2002, bowl game statistics were not included in players career totals and the games were mostly considered to be exhibition games involving a payout to participating teams, which had to meet strict eligibility requirements. As the number of bowl games has grown (in 2008, there were 34), a bowl game has become a seasonending event for virtually every team with a winning record and the games have gained increased importance for the revenue they bring to participating programs and the opportunity to recruit new players to the teams. In recent years, the term bowl has become synonymous with any major American football event, generally collegiate football with some significant exceptions (see Super Bowl). One example is the Iron Bowl, a nickname given to the annual game between the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn University Tigers. The term bowl originated from the Rose Bowl Stadium, site of the first postseason college football games. The Rose Bowl stadium takes its name and bowlshaped design from the Yale Bowl, the prototype of many football stadiums in the United States. In Canada, Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) plays two semifinal bowl games before the Vanier Cup Game. The Uteck Bowl is normaly played between the Atlantic Devision Champion and the champion from another division. It is usually held at the venue of the eastern most team playing in the semifinals. The Mitchell Bowl is played at the western most teams venue participating in the semifinals Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 162 Publication Date: 2010/01/20 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.37 inches

The Egg Bowl $25 From the contentious delay of the first clash in 1901 to the battle in 2009, The Egg Bowl covers the Ole Miss-Mississippi State rivalry in depth. For each game the narrative includes every scoring drive, every player who crossed the goal line, and every final score. More than 150 photos illustrate the intensity of action on the field and capture the players and exploits faithful fans will always remember. This new paperback edition features full accounts of the games in 2007, 2008, and 2009, including new photos and updated statistics. For the booster who demands to know every statistic, The Egg Bowl creates the ultimate reference. Which player has scored the most touchdowns? Who rushed for the longest run or threw the longest touchdown pass? How many kickoffs have been returned for touchdowns? Why is November 30 of consequence? Which two men have coached at both schools? And surprisingly, which three players have lettered at Mississippi State and Ole Miss?. The intensity of the rivalry cannot be understated. Student leaders created the treasured Golden Egg, trophy of the yearly contest, to quell frequent fisticuffs in the stands. While intended to cool the fervor, the Egg has been controversially remodeled, refurbished, and even kidnapped. The story continually simmers. This ideal gift for the football fanatic will only stoke those passions.
