A look at how Shaker Heights High students took on the SAT
Blog Entry:
February 07, 2013 11:54 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Some quick hits for the day:
A charming
New York Times
features interviews with students at
Shaker Heights High School
conducted on Jan. 25 — a big day, because it was the day before they took the SAT.
The kids, as you might expect, display a mix of confidence, nerves and befuddlement. Here of some of the responses I enjoyed this most:
Elana Ross, 15
"I get really nervous before tests. Like my stomach drops and I get all tense. One test in particular I took in math, where I got really nervous and was looking at the test and I was like, 'I don't remember how to do any of this!'"
Linda Fan, 17
''I have a superstition where I can't wear any jewelry on a test day. I always wear my rattiest T-shirts and sweat pants. When I was in fifth grade, I was in a science competition, and I was wearing a couple bracelets and a necklace, and I got last place. So I just stopped wearing anything fancy for tests.''
Aryanna Jones, 15
''For the most part I'm excited, I feel ready. I'm taking an 11th-grade math class in the 10th grade. My strong points are factoring binomials, stuff like that. Probably my weakest area is rotating conics, because it's a lot of different steps, and if I mess up one part, then I'll have the whole question wrong.''
Sasha Rae-Grant, 16
''On the PSAT I felt pretty good, but I didn't get quite the score I wanted. I kept spacing out. That's a problem for me with standardized tests. I try to get myself as relaxed as possible before a test. I'm a Brony — a teenage fan of 'My Little Pony.' I sometimes watch the episodes before a test because the friendliness is relaxing.''
Ben Robertson, 15
''I'm usually better at taking tests than I am at doing homework, because taking tests is sort of knowledge-based, and I guess doing homework is, like, diligent. You have to remember every single day, and sometimes I forget. It's very hard to forget to take a test because you go to take the test.''
Cleveland lands at No. 14 on Central Connecticut State University's
annual list
of America's 50 most-literate cities.
The study, conducted by university president John Miller, is based on data that includes the number of bookstores, library resources, newspaper circulation, Internet resources and educational levels.
USA Today
that for the digital age, the survey expands the definition of reading by counting online book orders, e-book readers and page views on local newspaper websites.
Cleveland's standout quality is library resources, which includes holdings, circulation and staff. It ranks first in that category.
"Cleveland may be a Rust Belt city, but it continues to invest in its libraries," Mr. Miller tells
USA Today
Among other Ohio cities, Cincinnati is No. 12, Columbus is No. 32 and Toledo is No. 44. The No. 1 city is Washington, D.C.
for the last 30 years or so has asked top investment pros to name one stock they think is most likely to outpace the market for the next 12 months.
this year's installment
of the feature, one of the stock pickers — David Fingold, portfolio manager at Dynamic Funds, selects
Parker Hannifin Corp.
, a producer of fluid power products, as his 2013 standout due to its strong record of growth, profitability and cash generation.
"He feels it will benefit from an improving industrial economy including aerospace, hydraulics, filtration, pneumatics and process control,"
Forbes says. "(Parker) is a dividend play, increasing its annual dividend paid to shareholders for 56 consecutive years."
The Great Lakes
are a little parched
The Associated Press notes that Lake Huron and Lake Michigan "have hit their lowest water levels ever recorded," and lakes Erie, Ontario and Superior are "well below average," according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This is the result of "more than a decade of below-normal rain and snowfall and higher temperatures that boost evaporation," according to the AP.
The low water "has caused heavy economic losses by forcing cargo ships to carry lighter loads, leaving boat docks high and dry, and damaging fish-spawning areas," the AP notes.
It says the Army Corps' report comes as shippers plead with Congress for more money to dredge ever-shallower harbors and channels. Shippers, the AP says, "are taxed to support a harbor maintenance fund, but only about half of the revenue is spent on dredging." (The rest is diverted to the Treasury for other purposes. Legislation to change that policy is pending before Congress.)
"Plunging water levels are beyond anyone's control, but the dredging crisis is man-made," James Weakley, president of the Cleveland-based
Lake Carriers' Association
, tells the AP.

Seems fine By riet on 8/17/2013 riet would recommend this product to a friend I just started using them, but the product was delivered fast, and seems as advertised. Great! By John on 6/28/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend Would definitely recommend BRS bio pellets, easy to use and nitrates are non existent. good By the man on 5/27/2013 the man would recommend this product to a friend tumbles nice just wish they were cheaper...pellets in general Biopellet pimp my ride By Steve on 4/27/2013 Steve would recommend this product to a friend A short time ago I purchased the BRS dual Medea reactor for GFO,CARBON, BIO, whatever. I have read a lot about this stuff and I will be applying this system to my 16gal nano when I arrive at my next duty station in San Juan, PR. I know it sounds like I am installing a Chevrolet big block engine in a Mini Cooper, but why not give it a shot! Another great Product from BRS!!! By Michael on 4/19/2013 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I was running GFO in my BRS Reactor and I was having to change it every two weeks. My Phosphates and nitrates were on the high side for me so started to do research on biopellets and decided to give then a try. Since having them running in the system the levels have dropped greatly. I will update this in about a month or so as to get the full capabilities of this wonderful product. works good By Dustin on 3/31/2013 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend i added this to my 1 year establishe reef tank.it will cloud the tank for a few days.do not panic.after a little over a month my nitrates went way down and have been at 0 6 months now. only con is they cost alot imo Great product By jose on 3/15/2013 jose would recommend this product to a friend The pellets are tumbleing nicely,They are kind of expensive,work great my nitrates are always low,Product works as advertised. Descent price By Ali on 2/23/2013 Ali would recommend this product to a friend This prodect is very good and has a reasonable price on it Can't say just yet. 5 stars for shipping and quality. By Toby on 2/15/2013 Toby would recommend this product to a friend I bought these to run in my BRS reactor but recently switched over to Chemi-pure elite. Nice product but got nervous looking at forums and people were stating that once you use them, you can't stop. One if the reasons were serious nitrate spikes if you do. I'm not sure if this is false or true. However with reef tanks their is alot of misguiding info on forums. I may take the plunge after my current media depletes. So far so good.... By Tyler on 2/4/2013 Tyler would recommend this product to a friend This is my 1st experience with biopellets and so far so good! I have started these on one of my tanks just to see how it works before I switch everywhere. The cost is great and the kids like watching them So far, these are the solution to my problems. By Ryan on 12/22/2012 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend With all of the reviews that I had read on biopellets, they seemed to be hit or miss. I have them running in a two little fishies 550 reactor and removed the two sponge filters. They do fit through the wholes in the red covers but as long as flow is kept under control they can't make it high enough to escape. Since the introduction of the biopellets on Nov, 25th my phosphates have dropped 28% without a water change and nitrates have dropped by 50% with a water change (I forgot to test nitrates after the water change). I did have a slight algae bloom where the water got cloudy for roughly a week after the introduction of the pellets. Other then that one side of the pellets tends to clump and not flow as well as the other. This is more than likely due to the reactor not being built specifically made for biopellets. Does What it Says it Does By Ibrahim on 11/26/2012 Ibrahim would recommend this product to a friend Been using this product for a couple of weeks and have noticed that my levels are lowering by the week. Great product. Long lasting By Colin on 11/25/2012 Colin would recommend this product to a friend These things work great my nitrates are always low and they last a long time! They are kind of expensive but not so bad for how long they last! Would buy again. No problems clumping and lasts a long time. By jlemoine2 on 10/24/2012 jlemoine2 would recommend this product to a friend Great product for bio-pellets and the price is reasonable compared to some other sources for bio-pellets. I found soaking the pellets in new salt water for a day or two helps prevent the pellets from wanting to float inside of the reactor. I must stress: In order to have success with bio-pellets, you must follow the instructions (the BRS videos are helpful), and above all, be patient! Bio-pellets are not a quick fix. I run these pellets in a NextReef solid media reactor. I plumb the output of the reactor into a tee I installed on the input of my protein skimmer. I keep the flow relatively slow through my reactor. The only time I ever see signs of the pellets clumping is when I go several months without cleaning the screen in the reactor... when that happens, one side near the bottom does not get stirred so well. However, I'm easily able to maintain a low flow without worrying about clumping issues. Great product! I like being able to order it from the same place I get my other consumable supplies. Seems to work so far... By Steve on 10/20/2012 Steve would recommend this product to a friend My first experience with biopellets. So far, on my 155 gal system, I'm breaking in the first 200 ml, and I've not had any problems. At the 3 week mark, so need more time to see effects. Going slow as recommended. Product works, just becareful of how much you put in. By Jason on 10/4/2012 Jason would recommend this product to a friend I got the 1 Gallon jar for my 90 gallon. After running the reactor for 4 months, I am still on my original first cup. But I have to take it down since it is really doing a great job removing all N03 and P04 that my corals are starting to get pale. The product works but hard to control if you are not testing your water weekly. Great Value By Eric on 9/6/2012 Eric would recommend this product to a friend Product works as advertised. They have def helped with my phosphate and nitrate issues. Great Value So far so good By Bill on 8/10/2012 Bill would recommend this product to a friend I have hade these running for about a week now in a Kent phos reactor a had. The pellets are tumbleing nicely. I haven't had any chemestry changes yet, but it is early. My water does seem to look clearer. Looking forward to the 4-8 week results Great product By Kelly on 8/10/2012 Kelly would recommend this product to a friend Ive been using bio pellets for a while now and it does wonders for my tank. So far so good By Michael on 6/12/2012 Michael would recommend this product to a friend They are doing what they say they will.....so far so good good product By countrykat on 5/23/2012 countrykat would recommend this product to a friend Dropped my nitrates from 4ppm to .25ppm in 10 days. A little pricey but what isn't nowadays. This product is amazing. By Luis L on 5/11/2012 Luis L would recommend this product to a friend im very pleased with this product. my tank was only 2 months old when i started using biopellets and it has done a great job keeping phosphates and nitrates very low. i haven't had any problems with it or caused any trouble in my tank, and it's super low maintenance. i don't have evidence, but i believe i had helped my tank mature a great deal. long term usage and cost/benefit make sense at this point so ill keep using it. Working Great By lorilime on 4/5/2012 lorilime would recommend this product to a friend Helping my tank no problems yet Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS Bulk Biopellets *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

A lot more than I expected! So much room in the fridge part as well as the freezer.Still have room to put things. The big drawer is excellent to store a sheet cake! It's that big! I Love it. Kept debating between this one and the french door one. This one won out for the reason being you have to open both doors to open one of the deli drawers instead of just one as I was thinking. Runs so quiet as well.

Our kitchen has Bisque appliances. It is time to replace the refrigerator with the old one about 23 years old. There is a limited number of manufacturers that make Bisque and most are too tall to fit and too narrow. The Kenmore 24 cu. ft. bottom freezer is the ideal size to fit the box we have. There is only 1/2 in. clearance on top and about 1 in. on each side. It is about 5 inches deeper than our old one. and that makes a difference of an additional 3 cu. ft. It has an ice maker that the old one didn't have and is a great feature. The compressor runs very quiet to the point we don't hear it. The bottom freezer is great. More room than our old top freezer and it is lit. The two trays make finding things easier.

I love my new and very spacious 24 cu ft refrigerator. It is hard to believe that going from a 22 cu ft refrigerator to 24 is a HUGE difference. I love the look inside and out. The door of the frig holds a lot of bottled water, cream, ketchup, mustard, etc. I can fit a lot of food, including my crock pot in this refrigerator. It keeps everything nice and cold. It is very quiet while it is running. I highly recommend a freezer, which is also spacious, on the bottom since you don't go into the freezer as often as the frig. To me, you get a lot more storage space when the refrigerator is on the top instead of side by side or below the freezer. Easier on the back too. Love it!!!

So far the refrigerator has been great. The refrigerator is very spacious . I like the ample door space for gallon jugs. The freezer, too, has lots of room. I love the bottom freezer so I am not always having to bend to get into my refrigerator. I would recommend this to a friend!!

I bought this refrigerator to replace an aging side by side and it so much easier to see and retreive your food!. I especially love the pantry drawer - a wonderful feature. The bottom freezer with the slide out drawyer and tray is also very well designed.

I bought this from Dave at the Janesville, WI store. Great guy, do your business with him! Two days later, it was delivered. The delivery men were very professional and took care to protect anything in path they would be taking. That meant alot. Oh and when I opened the door they shook my hand, very nice touch. Little things mean alot to me. These men were quick. They were here and gone in under 30 minutes. Great team they made. The refrigerator is beautiful with lots of space and LED lighting, that is so cool. I wasn't sure about the freezer on bottom but just do some organizing and you will be just fine. This refrigerator.freezer is QUIET so ignore anything you read about noise cos it just hasn't happened to me. I expect some noise from the ice maker, that is normal but aside from that, I dont hear anything. I love how you can rearrange the shelves to fit your needs, you have alot of options. I've looked and can't find anything negative about this except one thing. I have the Bisque color and I like it alot but my old fridge was Bisque too and that was 14 years old and the Bisque from back then is NOT the same as it is now so caution on that. The Bisque though is very cool and classy. I plan to buy a Kenmore oven and microwave now to match my fridge. If you are unsure about this, please, dont be. It is a wonderful appliance. I highly recommend!!!! OH also two days later on the internet it came down in price and they honored that for me and refunded me. Super experience with Sears and dont forget Dave, he is YOUR man!!!! Now go out and purchase this gorgeous refrigerator cos life is short and you will want to enjoy it for a loong time!

So far seems like a great fridge. Our first bottom freezer, love it but takes a little getting used to and organization, really great having refrigerated items at eye level. Both refrigerated and freezer were at desired temp within two hours of turning it on, runs very quietly. Sears description does not tell you that this has LED lighting in both fridge and freezer sections, the LED lighting is GREAT! It also has "Kenmore Connect", a self diagnostic system that can "talk" to a repair tech over the phone. Sears is foolish to leave these items out of the full description of the refrigerator, great selling points. This fridge is the twin of the LG #LDC24370, built in Mexico (too bad). The Kenmore comes in more color choices, and is about $300 less than the LG, more than that for us because we bought it on sale. The LG has a "smart pull" handle on the freezer drawer, and a 7 year vs. 5 year warranty on the sealed refrigeration system, certainly not worth $300 more, we'd consider the Kenmore a great buy and worth the price. We had a problem with delivery, wasn't delivered on the scheduled day. The manager of the Janesville, WI store personally arranged a rescheduled delivery for us, and gave us 10% off the price to compensate for our trouble. Sears made it right with us.

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
Buying guides
Greenhouses buying guide
Whether you want to grow beautiful blooms or tasty fruit and vegetables a greenhouse can give you hours of pleasure and satisfaction. The good news is that you can buy one that will fit into almost any size of garden, no matter how small.
Before you buy your greenhouse, it's well worth considering a few key points:
- Where do you want to put your greenhouse? What is the ground like there, how much space is available and how much sun will it catch on a good day?
- What would you like grow? Are you just seeding or do you want to grow tall plants and vines?
- What is your budget? You can still love your greenhouse, but perhaps without some of the more advanced features found in some models.
- How close to your water and electricity supplies will the greenhouse be? This could determine the greenhouse you buy or change your overall budget.

About the Book
A special 25th anniversary edition of the extraordinary international bestseller, including a new Foreword by Paulo Coelho.
Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across generations.
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

Sad news to hear. But it will not stop me from buying AMD in the future. Intel is is evil, Nvidia hates Linux, so my only choice in buying CPU/GPU's is AMD.
Ah, this is a shit!
I knew Jörg from Linux Tag in Berlin. Gave him a beer.
Dahmit! Not another one.
It's really hard to see an "underdog" company which was very FOSS friendly always struggle so hard. I wonder how they want to do their new ARM-chips without proper support from the software side. The OSRC Dresden was a damn good thing to have even if you didn't hear so often about it like you did with the Radeon FOSS stack.
But this is after so many years of oppression by intel and ignorant customers (but this is not intel inside, it is probably not compatible) and vendors (selling "real MHz").
And I wish they'd fire management not engineers. You can't operate anything with managers alone.
Yes it's unfortunate that those cards are still prefectly capable of running pretty much anything remotely taxing for us right now, though I see it merely as collateral damage. At least we still have their work on the FOSS side of things.
So please stop making it sound like AMD has a grudge against Linux users. It's called "resource management in a financially troubled business 101". If you want to help them, get a newer card or contribute to the FOSS drivers, that's the best you can do, and also much more constructive. You'll be happy you did soon enough.
As for the article at hand, well it's indeed troubling, though I still think it's a bit early to know what's going on exactly. I suppose AMD will at least relocate the affected depts.
As for the people in Dresden being let go (if it is the case), a big thanks for your work and I'm sure you guys will find new positions, with your knowledge and all!

Is this news sad? Yes and no. If the open source community has documentation for AMD graphics why are they sad that AMD is kicking out Linux developers. Linux is created based on developer's free time and most of all free will. I think former AMD Linux developers will try to support AMD products on their free time. It is not the end of the world.
AMD's proprietary graphics drivers are always pathetic. I prefer to use open source drivers or Xorg's drivers for ATI and AMD graphic cards although they have their limits in features. I always hesitate when using AMD graphics in Windows.
I do not work for nVidia. I have used AMD graphics and Intel graphics in Linux. nVidia still comes out being the best.
I have only partial stats, but I even think it's more than 80%.

A quick question to American forumites about venereal disease.
Ahem. The web doesn't seem to rate any searches for the acronym 'VD' very highly, which tells me that a US audience might not be used to them (preferring 'STI' or 'STD') in this context. As a USA citizen, if you read the initials 'VD' would you think straight away of venereal disease, or something else (or nothing at all)?
Thank you for your time - your answers will sway the course of a story.
September 20th, 2012, 05:14 PM #2
VD doesn't mean anything to me. STD is what we use around here in Canada. I guess it's not US but pretty close.
September 20th, 2012, 05:39 PM #3
I think that VD is an older term. It makes me think of WWIIor maybe the old TV show Mash. STD or STI is a more current term.

Venereal disease is still used as a term and the branch of medicine for it still uses the Latin term, but STD for sexually transmitted disease and STI for sexually transmitted infections became the regular clinical terms and so that's what gets usually used today. The switch occurred around the 1990's. If you use VD, some folks will still know what it is, but a lot of younger ones, as noted, won't.

You can assume your readers will understand an abbreviation only if it's very widely used, such as US or USA or FBI or CIA. And even then only in the country or culture where it's widely used. Brits recognize MI5 and MI6 as their equivalents of the FBI and CIA. Few non-Brits will.
The first time you use an abbreviation spell it out. Or use a phrase that makes the meaning clear. Then you can use the abbreviation.
The exception is within dialogue. Use what your characters would use. But make sure outside the dialogue you make the meaning clear.
September 21st, 2012, 08:39 AM #7
The term "VD" was popular around the sixty's. This brings up an interesting line of thought, though. I've found that using the vernacular of the period I'm writing in is a dicey proposition. Most of the time, the reader wouldn't apply the correct meaning to a word no longer in use (I was reaching back into the late 1930's in my case). It ends up causing a "bump" in the reading - disturbing that movie you want playing in the reader's head.
So I decided to approach using archaic expressions much like I would foreign or made-up words. I will introduce such things early on in the story to set the mood, but in all cases couch the phrase in such a way that the reader can easily see the meaning. If such is impossible, then I won't use the word. After a while, I use less and less of the period phrases - just enough to remind the reader but no more. More often then not the reader "gets it" regarding time period and you can relapse into regular speech - providing you don't toss out a catch-phrase or word that clearly plants you in the current time period.
So, if your setting is back in around the sixties or so, then yeah, probably want to use "VD" couched in sentence that clearly states this as an STD. (and don't use "STD" since that is a modern phrase). Otherwise, stick with the period you're writing in.

Grease Information
About the Show:
Grease is one of the best-known America musicals ever written. Created in 1971 by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, it centers on the fictional Rydell high school and its students dealing with growing up in the 1950s. After its Broadway premiere in 1972, the now-iconic film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John was released in 1978. Over the years, there have been revivals and productions all over the world. It remains one of the most often staged musicals in theatres of all sizes.
The original score of Grease includes favorites like "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightning," "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee," "We Go Together," "It's Raining on Prom Night," "Born to Hand Jive," "Beauty School Dropout," and "There are Worse Things I Could Do." Songs written for the movie like "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Sandy," "You're the One That I Want," and "Grease" have since been added to stage productions. Grab Grease tickets now to hear these songs and more live!
Plot Synopsis:
Sandy Dumbrowski is a good girl who is new to Rydell High School. Danny Zuko is the most popular guy in school. They share a summer of romance, and when the school year is about to start, he assures her that their relationship is just starting.
Over the course of the school year, Danny struggles with keeping his tough, cool persona while honestly having a soft spot for Sandy. Meanwhile, Sandy gets confused and begins to wonder whether he would like her more if she wasn't so goody-goody. One day, Sandy comes in as her classmates (including Danny) are making fun of her, and she tells Danny that she wishes she had never met him.
Meanwhile, Frenchy wonders what she should do with her life after failing out of beauty school, Rizzo is terrified when she suspects that she is pregnant, and the whole school is aflurry as the prom comes and goes. Order your Grease tickets today to see how these adolescents deal with the struggles of growing up.

Shabbat 101
The Sabbath (in Hebrew, Shabbat, pronounced shah-BAHT--or in some communities, Shabbos, "SHAH-bis") may be Judaism's most distinctive and characteristic practice, as well as one of its most pervasive and long-lasting gifts to Western civilization. A weekly 25-hour observance, from just before sundown each Friday through the completion of nightfall on Saturday, Shabbat is more than just a day off from labor. It is a day of physical and spiritual delights that is meant to illuminate certain key concepts in the traditional Jewish perception of the world.
Themes and Theology
Shabbat is portrayed in the Bible as the pinnacle of the creation of the universe, and its observance can be seen as a reminder of the purposefulness of the world and the role of human beings in it. Shabbat also serves as a memorial to God's act of rescuing the Israelites from slavery in Egypt by setting aside a day for personal autonomy and freedom from the harsh demands of labor. The traditional Shabbat is portrayed in Jewish liturgy, song, and story as a day of joy, a sanctuary from travails, and even a foretaste of the perfected world that will someday be attained.
History and Development
Shabbat, like many important facets of Judaism, has its origins in the Torah, where it is most notable as a day of complete cessation of labor. The prophetic tradition portrays it as a day of pleasures as well. The Rabbis spelled out their understanding of forbidden "labor" in a complex series of restrictions on productive activities of many sorts. They also prescribed festive meals and ceremonies for every part of the day. The varieties of Shabbat observances and customs over the ages and around the world illustrate the adaptation of Jews in many societies to new realities and modern ideas.

HITMAN opens promisingly with the assassination of an evil Japanese businessman by a mysterious hitman dubbed the King of Killers. The businessman had set up a revenge fund of $100 million dollars to be paid to whoever kills his murderer. Hong Kong draws in hitmen from all over the globe, including the businessman's equally evil grandson. Jet Li plays a down on his luck mainlander who is kicked out of his gang because he's too soft-hearted to be a criminal. Determined to prove himself, he joins in the hunt for the King of Killers. Eric Tsang plays an inept con man who sponsors Jet Li for mysterious reasons. While his performance is all right, his character dominates far too much of the movie and the comic relief he supplies really drags down the middle of the movie. Gigi Leung plays his daughter and her boring, lifeless performance adds nothing to a role that is already little more than window dressing. She has no chemistry with any of the main players and her romance with Jet Li falls flat. Jet Li gives a standard performance; what he lacks in acting ability he makes up for with charm and charisma. Simon Yam plays an enigmatic cop. His role is also little more than window dressing but he brings to it his usual savoir faire. The action, which is really the main star of this movie, is good at the beginning, badly lagging in the middle, and then terrific at the end. The final third portion of the movie really showcases Jet Li's considerable action talents.

Efficient signaling in the brain require precise regulation and targeting of cell surface ion-channels. Mutations in these channels associated with inherited diseases can cause improper targeting and reduced surface expression. Thus, the development of tools to readily label and follow the trafficking of ion-channels in living cells in real time is essential. The GABA-A receptor (GABAAR)mediates the majority of inhibition in the brain and mutations in this receptor linked to human epileptic syndromes are reported to reduce surface expression. To examine cell surface expression and trafficking of the GABAAR, we tagged the receptor with a novel reporter protein (HaloTag®) and visualized the tagged receptor by covalently tethering HaloTag® specific fluorescent ligands in living cells and in vitro (Los & Wood, Methods Mol Biol 2007, 356: 195-208). The HaloTag® protein was inserted into the N-terminus of the GABAAR γ2L subunit (γ2L-vHT) and expressed with wild-type α1 and β2 subunits to form functional GABAARs. The γ2L-vHT fusion protein had the expected molecular weight, expressed well in HeLa cells and Xenopus oocytes, and was efficiently labeled with the HaloTag® ligands. Functional activity of GABAARs expressed in Xenopus oocytes was assayed using two-electrode voltage clamp.

The very first television show ever to air was a game show called "Spelling Bee." From those humble beginnings, the genre has spread around the world, bringing laughter, thrills and prizes to generations of eager contestants and home viewers. One thing all great game shows have in common: a charming host to help guide hopeful contestants to their pot of gold. As we celebrate the life of Star Search host Ed McMahon, who was born on March 6, 1923, we invite you to take our quiz and see how much you know about some of the greatest game show hosts of all time.
The Lucy-Desi Quiz
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz rewrote the book on television. As the married stars of their own TV sitcom, I Love Lucy, they broke taboos becoming one of television's first bicultural couples and by openly acknowledging Ball's pregnancy and incorporating it into the show's storyline. Together they pioneered a new paradigm for television production and distribution and built an empire in the process. And, of course, they were hilarious and adorable together on camera, too. Take our Lucy and Desi quiz and see how much you know about their amazing lives on screen and off.

War and Remembrance
21. Weeping Iron Tears
And in the south he died. Through the Paths of the Dead and the chaos at Pelargir and upon the black ships up the broad Anduin he was beside me, and for a time we spoke as in other days, as brothers of many shadowed roads. With sword unsheathed and the fire of the West blazing in his eyes he strode into the maelstrom that was the Pelannor Field, and above us flew the brave standard he brought to me, the work of my lady's hand. A White Tree, Seven Stars, and a high gem-wrought crown upon a sable field. Beneath that banner we fought and beneath that banner he died. My friend. Though many a road came between and many a year passed always we twain would meet once more and sit of a spring evening - much like this - and smoke a quiet pipe.
Warm breezes caress my face now, the scent of green growing things sweet to my senses as lengthening velvet shadows pool among the hillocks and wash the city walls in pastel hues of gold and lavender. On that day there was only shadow and fear and death, and these fields were trod to a morass of blood and death. It is a blessing now to stand and hear only a soft wind in the tall grass and where once were the clash of arms and the shouts and cries of war, I hear only tranquility. Our peace. I stand upon fertile earth blessed by the blood of our fallen and it is not my peace. I am but its caretaker and guardian of all that so many gave up their lives to preserve. To mourn overmuch would be to belittle their sacrifice, to declare their loss futile and without merit. That I will never do.
But in my selfish heart of hearts, I wish my friend were here to see all that we have wrought. I wish that in this warm spring evening, where the echoes of battle whisper from the sleeping stones and damp meadow, Halbarad Dúnedan, Ranger of the North once again strode beside me. Strangely I am not surprised when upon an errant current of air I imagine I smell, ever so briefly, the fragrance of a familiar pipe. Perhaps he walks with me after all. Smiling I turn and walk towards the city that we saved, and in the gentle twilight I am not alone.

M&Ms T-shirt Green Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The computer animated spokescandies in television commercials for Mars M&Ms have personalities all their own. The green M&M was originally the only girl in the group until they introduced the brown M&M as another cohort. She is the seductress of the group and has the rest of the male M&Ms wanting her and keeps them in line. She often wears white heeled go go boots. Voiced by Cree Summer she is the official mascot for the peanut butter M&Ms. A personalized M&M ornament is a sweet gift for a friend who is a true candy lover. This adorable glass M&M shirt ornament is for the green M&M lover or anyone who's favorite color is green, believing these M&Ms taste better.

Product Description
Revitalize Your lawn with the Craftsman Spike Aerator
The Craftsman 36 in spike aerator cuts small holes in the soil to create reservoirs that bring oxygen, air, fertilizer, water and nutrients to reach the root level of grass – this promotes a healthier, green lush lawn. The heavy-duty spikes penetrate up to 2.5 in. of aeration depth to get in deep compacted soil quickly and efficiently. An enclosed weight tray holds up to 100 lbs. to take on the job in half the time.
Boasting a universal design, the Craftsman spike aerator works with all brands of riding lawn mowers and tractors. It does its best work during early spring or late fall with easily compacted soil like clay, heavy traffic areas and drought-damaged lawn when moisture content is high. Heavy-duty, 10-gauge steel construction ensures long-lasting durability and performance. Includes a convenient hitch pin for quick, simple hookups. A large, 36 inch width covers large areas of ground, saving you precious time for other lawn activities.
- The Craftsman 36 in Spike Aerator weighs only 40 lbs. for no-hassle maneuverability, portability and simple storage in your garage or garden shed

Was a ;ittle hesitent after the reviews but tried it any way. Very easy to assemble once I read through the instuctions. Once hooked up to tractor it was very easy to use. Did a great job. Was happy to see that it did not make the yard look like swiss cheese like spike aerators do. Was very happy with the way it made the graas grow. Saved a lot of money doing it myself.

If you want a low priced but decent quality aerator, this is it. It's only a spike not a plug aerator so you have to go around a few times but who cares on a tractor? The only thing it's missing is wheels so I can drive across my driveway instead of having to disconnect and carry it over.

Works good, It was easy to assemble. Parts were all included. Nothing missing.. I wished it had wheels on it to lift it up on concrete. I will use it about twice a year. The neighbor across the street has asked to borrow it already.

Previous reviews were iffy, Took a chance ang bought it with my rewards points. Little timely to put together but worth it. Used two sandbags ontop 100lbs total, penetrated as deep as it could. Metal seems strong. Good machine. Even travels well over cement driveway.

Aerator seems to do the job just fine. I got it on sale for $59 bucks so I really can't complain. It appears to be well constructed and handled two blocks just fine. Spikes dug into the soil. People may gripe that you don't have transport wheels so you have to detach and carry accross concrete, but you know this going in so that is really on you. Don't run it accross your driveway or sidewalk. Not a good idea. I personally appreciate the fact that it takes up less space in my shed. You can even stand it upright in the corner so it has a very small footprint. For the fact that this is an entry level aerator, you can't do any better. I saw other brands elsewwhere that looked flimsy and cheap.
