It just doesn't happen! Willow the fairy and her beloved husband Gregore, a reformed ogre, have no choice but to emigrate and settle in the real world with their children Tom and Cindy. And boy are they unprepared! Here in the real world, there is no guarantee of a happy ending, especially when you add to the mix the other dysfunctional members such as Ferocia, the colorful, sharp-tongued witch, or His Highness, the Toad, still in search of that magical kiss. This ill-equipped and maladjusted family of immigrants goes from one blunder to another and it is going to take every ounce of courage and street smarts that Tom can muster in order to protect his family from all the curious intruders, for whom magic is more than a little bit strange!----!!Tropes that are present in this work:* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Usually Gregore and Willow for their children.* {{Animesque}}* [[AWizardDidIt A Fairy Did It]]: Several situations are solved by Willow using her wand to magically turn everything back to normal. Granted, she's sometimes the cause of the problems she has to fix.* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Ferocia adores dasterdly pirates and nasty gnomes, [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that she's a bad witch.* AllMythsAreTrue: It seems they were, back in Fairy Tale Land.* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Cindy, Ferocia, and Willow, respectively.* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Cindy. * CloudCuckooLander: Willow.* DeadpanSnarker: His Highness the Toad and Ferocia.* {{Fainting}}: The show pretty loves this trope very much.* FantasticRacism: [[OurOgresAreHungrier Ogres are often accused of eating people]]. Gregore became a vegetarian to avoid this, but was [[MistakenForMurderer still suspected of having eaten the (admittedly annoying) neighbours]]. By his own family, no less!* FishOutOfWater/NoSocialSkills: All the family minus Tom and Cindy.* GentleGiant: Gregore.* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Ferocia [[BerserkButton REALLY HATES IT]] when someone mentions how smart, sweet, and pretty [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Willow]] is.* HappilyMarried: Gregore and Willow.* HartmanHips: Willow may have the biggest thighs and butt of any woman in cartoons at the moment.* HotTeacher: Ms. Tinker (Tom's teacher), [[MsFanService so very much]].* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Gregore and Willow.* IJustWantToBeNormal: Tom just desires to be a normal kid in the Real World.* InterspeciesRomance: Part of the reason why the family had to move to the real world is because ogres and fairies aren't allowed to get married in the fairy tale world, although a later episode suggests that they had to move because Ferocia was banished. * NonhumanHumanoidHybrid: Tom and Cindy are half ogre, half fairy. Justified in that they were originally planned to be simply posing as their children in the original pitch.* ObnoxiousInLaws: Usually Ferocia to Gregore.* OneWordTitle: The show is known in French as simply ''Magic''. [[note]]It can also be known as ''La Famille Féerique''.[[/note]]* PrecociousCrush: Tom for Ms. Tinker.* PunnyName: Tom and Cindy's names are a pun on Tom Thumb and Cinderella. According to some sources, they were originally planned to actually be their namesakes, who were also banished for undisclosed unfairytale like behavior, although they seem to actually be Gregore and Willow's children in the final show. In this pitch, Gregore could have been the ogre from the Tom Thumb story, and Willow could have been Cinderella's fairy godmother.** It's made clear in "The Truth, Nothing But The Truth" that Cinderella is a separate character, when we see a picture of her in an old book (strangely, she looks like Willow).* ScreamerPrank: Subverted. The end of "Peekaboo Tom" has Gregore playing a prank on Willow that he is invisible and that he's at the stairs. When she goes searching for him, he roars at Willow causing her to scream and later [[{{Fainting}} faint]].* SiblingYinYang: Willow and Ferocia. * SpotlightStealingSquad: It's very clear that Tom is the main character of the family for this reason.* StalkerWithACrush: Leah from Tom's class. Subverted in the sense that she's not crushing on the main character (who would be Tom), but rather on Tom's goofy best friend, Jojo. She went as far as to frame Tom for stealing, just so that Jojo would stop idolizing him so much.* TeacherStudentRomance: PlayedWith in an episode between Tom and Ms. Tinker, mostly thanks a spell than turns Tom into a PrinceCharming.* TokenEvilTeammate: Aunt Ferocia.* VomitDiscretionShot: In the BabysittingEpisode, Cindy calls Tom after repeatedly getting annoyed and being hurt thanks to the baby girl she's babysitting. When she tells Tom to get the wand, the baby's face turns green, the camera cuts to Tom and the baby vomits ''right in front of her'', leading her to scream in disgust.----

Looking for leads for locally buying new/recycled bottles for gifts
I'm in the market for 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz and 8 oz bottles, preferably Boston Round glass amber colored bottles.

IBM, Sun in server benchmark battle

Sun debuts Starcat server
September 24, 2001
The challenge pits Sun's 72-processor E15K Starcat server against IBM's 32-processor p690 "Regatta" machine. The yardstick is SPECjbb, a benchmark that measures how well a computer handles server programs that use Sun's Java software.
Sun fired the first salvo when the E15K was launched in September, scoring 324,000 transactions per second on the SPECjbb benchmark, which simulates the measuring of a company's warehouse inventory as orders are placed, checked and processed.
IBM came back in December, trumpeting that it defeated Sun with 339,000 transactions per second. On Monday, Sun regained the lead with a score of 404,000 transactions.
Though universally acknowledged to be an incomplete measure of a server's merits, benchmarks are nevertheless important. Hewlett-Packard, for instance, spent more than $1 million trying to track down problems hampering performance tests of its top-end Superdome machine. In that case, sabotage turned out to be the issue.
Competition is cutthroat in the hot Unix server market, which boasted $26 billion in sales in 2000, according to IDC. IBM is fighting to topple current leader Sun, and former leader HP came close to Sun's sales in the third quarter of 2001.
High-end Unix servers run core operations at many large companies, such as the sort of inventory control replicated by the benchmarks. Price tags often exceed $1 million, and sales are coveted because they can lead to years-long business relationships and also draw along sales of other hardware, software and services.
Sun may have the top spot in the SPECjbb running, but there are other benchmarks to watch. Probably the highest profile belongs to the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-C, an inventory test that's similar to SPECjbb but doesn't use Java. Fujitsu Technology Solutions leads this race, with HP in second place.
IBM is working on its p690 result, but Sun has declined to enter that competition. Sun says it prefers to work with customers to show performance on real-world tasks, but the assumption by outside observers is that Sun doesn't expect to win the p690 race.
Prices also are an issue in benchmarks, and IBM has been pricing its systems aggressively in its attempt to topple Sun from the top of the Unix server heap.

Kids Sail The Stars" and Racing Under the Stars on Block Island Sound.
The second race was the Ida Lewis Long Distance Race. We started at 1:00 PM last Friday and finished a bit after 12 noon on Saturday. Generally light winds prevailed and the wind forcast was only about 50% correct (what a surprise). We sailed well, made good decisions, and finished near the top of the fleet. But what a night. Clear clear skies. A brilliant sunset. Light from the moon glistening on the water. The moon set early in the morning and the milky way came out in all it's splendor. Sunrise was like one more encore of a virtuoso performance. Through out a sailboat race you are constantly focusing on VMG (velocity made good), proper sail trim, having the right sails up for the wind conditions, and keeping your focus positive even when things go wrong. You fill in the gaps with good food and a brief nap (if you're lucky).Working together in a single minded effort with your crewmates ties the whole experience together. It does my heart good to know that CBI opens the door to sailing for so many, especially kids. I know that the two juniors I sailed with will one day find themselves sailing, maybe racing, under the moon away from land. I hope they will remember their experiences here at CBI. I also hope that they will adopt an attitude of giving back to others, having received much themselves. Then I'll know that CBI did what it's supposed to do.

The Licensed Practical Nurse Salary Canada is calculated by the Canadian Salary and Wage Guide and from a variety of other sources. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) will work in a number of settings including hospitals, clinics and schools. The salaries of the LPN or LVN vary depending on the location and the setting. The assumption was made that the licensed practical or vocational nurses reflected here were working an average of 35 hours per week with a total of 1750 hours per year. Furthermore, the nursing profession in Canada is regulated by Provinces and Territories.
Socialized Medicine In Canada, Socialized Medicine makes sure that all Canadian citizens are assured medical care for themselves and their family under the Canadian health care system. This health care program provides Canadians preventative, as well as daily medical care from doctors. This ensures all Canadian citizens access to good medical and health care. Nearly all Canadian citizens, regardless of income or medical history qualify for this unique medical care.
Licensed Practical Nurse Salary Canada Data: Hourly Country Low Median High Canadian 9.29 CAD 17.68 CAD 28.28 CAD United States $9.50 $18.08 $28.93
United States
The lowest licensed practical nurse salary Canada is less than 9.50 CAD while the highest is over 48,500 CAD. Presumably this is offset by costs of living and other factors. The lower pay levels are associated with rural areas. The highest pay levels are found in metropolitan areas. Demand and low supply seem to be a significant factor in fueling higher salaries.
Top 5 Provinces and TerritoriesThe best paying Canadian Provinces and Territories for licensed practical nurses to earn a salary are Calgary-Alberta, Ottawa-Ontario, London-Woodstock Area-Ontario, Edmonton-Alberta and Vancouver-Lower Mainland Southwest-British Columbia.
Other Industries that pay a Licensed Practical Nurse Salary CanadaThe Canadian Labour Market Information site lists the government, schools, securities brokerages, and private businesses as also employing licensed practical nurses.
Employment DataThere are 348,500 Nurses working in the Canada according to the Canadian Salary and Wage Guide. Approximately 75% of them are listed as registered nurses. Presumably this means that over 80,000 nurses working in Canada are licensed practical nurses or licensed vocational nurses earning a salary in Canada.
Where They Work Of all the licensed practical nurses in Canada the majority work in nursing homes and other residential healthcare settings. The remainder works in doctor's offices, clinics, hospitals, and home health care. Some work as private duty nurses and in insurance.
Private Practice vs. Employment A rapidly growing trend in the healthcare arena is the use of the travel nurse. Travel nurses agree to take short term employment contracts in return for additional incentives such as housing, travel allowances and bonuses. They usually work directly for a regulated nursing agency but a few of them actually negotiate their own employment contracts and are truly self-employed. This role is limited for the LPN but does exist. Other self-employment opportunities exist for nurses as legal consultants, educators and a variety of health care related small businesses. For LPN's desiring to advance in this manner additional education and training may be required.
BenefitsFringe benefits will vary depending on business size and other factors. A typical employment benefits package is worth over $15,000 CAD per year.

Trucking Firms Raise Pay To Keep Moving
by Marty Cook
Posted 8/11/2014 12:00 am
Listen to any Arkansas trucking company executive — with the possible exception of unionized ABF Freight — and you will hear lamentations about driver shortages in the industry. Short of cultural change to repopularize the job, executives know they have to pay more to attract drivers and work harder to keep them. The trend doesn't look like it is going to get any better anytime soon.

The following statement has just been released by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation:
DALLAS – February 3, 2012 – We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives. The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen. We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood. They were not.
Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.
Our only goal for our granting process is to support women and families in the fight against breast cancer. Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.

Khloe Kardashian Dishes on 2013 Weight Loss: How Much Did She Lose?
Khloe Kardashian has certainly had an eventful year. While her personal life has been turbulent, 2013 has brought some great career highs — not to mention the 29-year-old looks to be in the best shape of her life! Though it's clear Khloe got a little trimmer this year, we're only just now learning exactly how much weight the youngest Kardashian sister shed: 30 pounds! "In the past year I think I've lost around 30 pounds, and I'm feeling good," Khloe tells Cosmopolitan UK in her cover interview. "I've worked very hard on my body so I think now I can sex it up a little!" She's definitely earned it, and we're not just talking about her hard work at the gym. In fact you could argue that Khloe actually lost well over 200 pounds, having made the difficult decision to cut the tether with estranged hubby Lamar Odom. Khloe certainly seems to be feeling lighter, anyway, with an optimistic look into the future. "I love the new year, new beginnings. I need a good fresh start; I'm excited for this year to be over with...." We can only imagine. Speaking of New Year's, does Khloe have any resolutions? "My 2014 mission is to wear a crop top with jeans," she confesses. "I've never done that so it has to happen one day." Girl, after surviving this year, we're pretty sure you can do anything you set your mind to!

I think that might apply more to Chasidim than to all Orthodox Jewish women. I've known several who don't wear the sheitels (wigs) any more and who do dress in a more modern fashion.
Printable View
Maybe, but my cousins are not Chasadim and they do wear sheitels or other head covers. They dress in a fairly modern fashion but in more modest clothing in terms of not showing much skin. There are even bridal shops that cater to Orthodox women ... no off-shoulder gowns, no low necklines or cleavage, etc. All my cousins bought their gowns there.
lol @ the discussion
OK, back to TBBT ... Amy Farrah Fowler does not dress as fashionably as Mayim Bialik for sure! It would be fun to have an episode in which Penny and Bernadette give her a makeover.
I think AFF is still pretty limited due to her injury from the wreck. I've noticed her holding one arm down a lot

Panasonic Debuts Line of Facial Styling Tools
The ES-LV95-S |
SECAUCUS, N.J.-Panasonic has added three men's linear shavers to its collection of men's grooming products.
The three shavers--the ES-LV95-S Arc5, the ES-LV65-S Arc5 and the ES-ST25KS Arc3--are equipped with shaving sensor technology, which is designed to provide a simpler and more effective shaving experience. The technology allows the automatic stubble sensor to detect beard density and adjust motor speed for a gentle, yet effective shave, according to a Panasonic statement. All of the models are also equipped with Multi-Fit Arc Foil, which allows the shaver to glide uniformly around the chin and jaw, and move in a circular motion.
The ES-LV95-S Arc5 and the ES-LV65-S Arc 5, which are wet/dry shavers, feature a redesigned slit blade to capture stubborn hair in harder-to-reach areas, and a pop-up trimmer for sideburns, beard and moustache.
Panasonic has also launched the ER-GS60-S Wet-Dry Self-Hair Clipper, which includes a 45-degree blade. It comes with two comb attachments, a rubberized grip and ergonomic design for comfortable and precise styling. It is also equipped with a water drain, which allows water to flow freely through the unit for quick and easy maintenance, and a charging station with a status indicator.

How to "Read" Your Practice Tests
So, you've taken a practice test! Maybe you're closing in on the score you want, or maybe you still have some distance left to travel. Regardless of which scenario applies to you, "reading" your practice test data is an incredibly crucial element to GRE progress!
I write this assuming I don't need to discuss looking at your score, comparing overall quantitative to overall verbal, etc. Everyone looks at the 'big' numbers. The question is, what eureka moments can we gain from a deeper analysis?
There are three components to analyzing a practice test: analyzing timing, analyzing accuracy by question type, and analyzing accuracy by topic tested.
Analyzing Timing
You can't analyze your timing until you know what your timing should look like.
Does anything stand out to you in image above? Why do some questions take you less than one minute, while some take more than three? We expect some variation across different questions – Reading Comprehension should take longer than Text Completion or Sentence Equivalence, and Data Interpretation questions (especially the first DI question) will usually take longer than Quantitative Comparison. But why are there such wide swings in question time within the QC question? And I can't help but notice that the two Discrete Quantity questions both took less time than the vast majority of the QC questions. Perhaps this is someone who is skilled in math, but doesn't yet truly grasp the logic underlying the QC questions.
A review of QC as a question type is probably called for from this practice test.
Another element of timing is more fundamental (and the above image captures this concept also). Do you know when to let a question go, guess, and move on to the next question? Any time you spent three minutes on a question, you had a problem letting go. Right or wrong, that question hurt you.
Bottom line, when you analyze timing in a practice test, you want to see two things: 1) question by question timing – were you able to let a question go when needed, and 2) question type timing – do you have the desired timing for each question type?
Now it's time to Generate an Assessment Report!!! (It's exciting because it's got three exclamation points )
Analyzing Accuracy by Question Type
Take a few moments and see what you can find in the image above. Don't worry, I'll wait
Seriously, there's a lot you should consider here. If you haven't been looking for at least 5 minutes, you haven't spent enough time. And although I *said* this is the Accuracy analysis portion of this post, we're not done with timing.
First, let's talk good decisions vs poor decisions. Good decisions – on TC, you know when to get out of a question. Look at the Average Time Wrong vs Average Time right for the Harder and Devilish TC questions. That's what we want to see! This indicates you recognize when more time will/won't pay off. (Maybe… more on this in a moment.)
So why aren't you making the same decisions in SE?
Finally, why, why, why are you spending five minutes – on AVERAGE across three questions – in RC? What's going on here? There's some leeway in RC, because of the time needed to read and process a longer passage, but not five minutes leeway.
On the Easier RC question that you missed, you missed it in one minute. This indicates you were confident in your answer. Confident in the wrong answer – somewhere in this question is a trap that you fell for, and you need to figure out what that trap was!
Back to the TC timing: one possibility is you know when to get out of TC, and that's why your wrong answers take less time than the right answers. Another, more disturbing possibility, is you're cheating yourself on TC time. How do I know this? Look at the variation between TC and SE accuracy – it's not huge, but the discrepancy is there. Why is TC accuracy lower?
Finally, the most obvious element of this analysis is that RC is your lowest accuracy. Time to go back and study!!!
Analyzing Accuracy by Topic Tested
This issue cannot be addressed by looking at one image – you will generate an assessment report, and view the Analysis by Content Area and Topic. There are a few things you're looking for here.
First, and foremost, are you seeing accuracy and speed in topics you've studied? If you haven't studied Geometry yet, who cares if your Geometry accuracy is 20%! But you've spent two full weeks reviewing algebra, so why are you missing 2 out of 3 function/formula questions? Bright side though, your accuracy in Quadratics is through the roof!!
Obviously that paragraph is a hypothetical, but notice two things: first, you need to decide which area(s) deserve your analysis; second, you need to look not just at the overall topic, but also at the subtopics.
You're looking for improvements and discrepancies. Which areas are strong? Which are weak? Do you have a mix of strong and weak areas in one major topic? These are all question you need to ask yourself.
BUT you need to take this with a grain of salt – don't neglect to consider the difficulty of the individual questions! Yes, maybe you missed 2 function questions. But they were both Devilish difficulty! You're not weak in this area, you just got hit by some of the worst questions.
Finally, don't neglect to examine timing in this area of analysis. Yes, you were accurate in Rates questions. But you spent 4 minutes on them. Time to study!!
Final Thoughts
I hope you've found this helpful. If you go back and look at my previous GRE blog posts, I think you'll notice that this post contains many, many more rhetorical questions. That's the point of practice test analysis. In the test, and when you're studying, the computer, or the book, or whatever study source you're using is asking you questions.
Analyzing your practice tests is the time for you to ask the questions. What are the weak areas? Strong areas? Why am I performing differently in Word Problems vs Geometry?
And there's one question you must ask, which I haven't addresses, simply because of how much space it would require – Are you seeing improvement???
Every time you take a practice test, from the second practice test on to the last, look at the most recent test, do all this analysis. Then look at the test prior – what's changed? What has stayed the same? Have you improved in your weaknesses, and have strengths remained strong?
A practice test doesn't teach you anything in and of itself – but it tells you where you are, and where you're moving, and what you *should* be teaching yourself.
Good Luck!!!
Manhattan Prep Instructor Wows With Record-Setting Jeopardy Win
Yesterday, the whole wide internet was shocked by the Jeopardy dominance of "This dude Michael", but here at Manhattan Prep we weren't surprised at all. We already knew that dude was smart and we knew that dude had the mathematical wherewithal to bet $7,000 without batting an eyelash.
Here at MPrep we know that dude as Michael Bilow (one of those people who command such respect that he must always be talked about using his last name lest anyone in earshot mistakenly attribute an anecdote or joke to some less deserving Michael). On Jeopardy, he lived up to his legend taking home the fourth highest single-day winnings in Jeopardy history: $57,198.
Michael Bilow joined the Manhattan Prep family in 2011 using his perfect GRE score and spectacular teaching chops to secure a role as an LA-based GRE instructor. A few years later we realized we needed more Bilow in our business so we asked him to join the Marketing Department. He took a position as our Business Data Analyst, while continuing to teach GRE classes and pursue his PhD. After seeing him flawlessly juggle those responsibilities, we never had any doubt that he would take the Jeopardy world by fire.
By now the whole country knows of Bilow's intellectual prowess, but we know so much more. Michael is a dedicated practitioner of improv, a delightful presence in Google Hangout meetings, and a stylish dresser. We can't wait for his next trip to the New York City headquarters so he can buy us a drink with his winnings after he takes a quick a nap in a tutoring pod.
Congrats, Michael Bilow! Keep it up!
How to Switch from the GRE to the GMAT
Lately, we've been talking about how to decide which test to take. What if you decide to switch from the GRE to the GMAT? That's what we'll tackle today! (Next time, we'll talk about what to do if you want to switch from the GMAT to the GRE.)
How do I study?
The overall way that you want to study doesn't actually change that much; rather, you'll just need to change what you are studying, as discussed later in this article.
First, you'll need to determine whether the way that you've already been studying is actually the optimal way. If not, then you'll need to make some changes, regardless of whether you stick with the GRE or switch to the GMAT.
The GRE and the GMAT are both executive reasoning tests; that is, the test makers want to know how you think and make decisions. You of course need to know content (certain facts, rules, formulas) in order to do well on either test, but that level of study is not enough; you also need to lift yourself to a second level of understanding that allows you to think your way through these sometimes bizarrely-worded problems as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Follow the two links I put in the last paragraph. Take some time to just think about the concepts presented there. Has this been your approach to studying so far? If so, great. Keep thinking and working in that way.
If not, however, recognize that you're going to need to start studying with this new mindset, regardless of whether you take the GRE or the GMAT.
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Any time you're developing or revising a study plan, you'll want to put together a solid analysis of your strengths and weaknesses.
If you have been studying for the GRE for a while, then you should have some practice CAT data. (If not, or if it has been more than 6 weeks since you last took a CAT, then you'll need to take one to get the data. Make sure to take the test under official conditions, including the essays, length of breaks, and so on.)
Analyze your most recent two CATs (this link tells you how to analyze Manhattan Prep CATs). If you haven't taken MPrep CATs, you can still read through that link to get an idea of how you want to analyze your data from another test. Your goal is to split all question types and content into one of three buckets:
Bucket 1: Strengths. I'll still study and practice these but not as heavily as other areas.
Bucket 2: Low-hanging Fruit: These are my easiest opportunities for improvement. Careless mistakes. Things that I get wrong fast. Things that I get right but just a little too slowly.
Bucket 3: Weaknesses. These are areas that I'll ignore until I've worked out my Bucket 2 issues. Things that I'm likely to get wrong even if I give myself unlimited time. Things that I get right but way too slowly. Things that use up way too much mental energy, even if I get them right.
Your primary focus until your next practice test will be working a lot to improve Bucket 2, while maintaining Bucket 1 skills and getting Bucket 3 questions wrong fast (yes, seriously!).
[Aside: there are certain things that will stay in Bucket 3 forever. I'm terrible at combinatorics and I'm pretty bad at 3D geometry. That's been true since my very first practice GRE, more than 10 years ago! When I see these, I'll give it a look in case the problem is very similar to one that I do remember how to do, but otherwise, I pick my favorite letter and move on.]
Okay, now that you know what your strengths and weaknesses are, you need to familiarize yourself with the differences between the GRE and the GMAT.
What new things do I have to learn?
The Essays and Integrated Reasoning
You won't care as much about one difference, so let's get it out of the way. At the beginning of the GRE, you write two essays. The GMAT also asks you to write an essay but in place of the second essay you'll have to do the Integrated Reasoning section, a multiple-choice section that mixes quant and verbal skills.
This section is different enough from the others that you will have to study how to answer these questions and how to manage your time during the section. At the time of this publication (in March 2015), schools aren't using IR scores much, so this section is less important, though this could change in the future.
Next, for the quant section of the test, you're going to need to learn about one different question type contained on the GMAT: Data Sufficiency (DS).
The GMAT dives more deeply into number properties, story problems, and some algebra concepts, so you may need to get GMAT books for these topics versus continuing to use your GRE books.
The timing on the two tests is also quite different, so you'll have to learn how to handle 37 questions in 75 minutes on the GMAT, or about 2 minutes per question on average.
Most of your new efforts on verbal will be geared towards the grammar question type, Sentence Correction (SC). You'll definitely need to get some materials that teach you the grammar and meaning issues that are tested on SC.
Again, if you are already using Manhattan Prep materials, you can use what you already have for Reading Comprehension (RC), but you will need to get new materials for Critical Reasoning (CR). The CR question types on the GRE are also tested on the GMAT, but the GMAT contains additional CR question types that don't appear on the GRE.
Again, the timing will be different on the GMAT. You'll need to answer 41 verbal questions in 75 minutes, spending about 1 minute 20 seconds on SC, 2 minutes on CR, and about 6 to 8 minutes total for RC passages and questions.
How do I make a study plan?
We've already talked about part of the process (analyzing your strengths and weaknesses). You may decide to take a class or work with a tutor, in which case your teacher will give you specific assignments . If not, you'll need to develop your own study plan.
Takeaways for switching from GRE to GMAT
(1) Make sure that you're going into your studies with the right overall mindset (executive reasoning!) and that you know how to lift yourself to the "second level" of study.
(2) Begin your studies by concentrating on the aspects that are new to you: the different question types and topics that are tested on the GMAT. Once you build those skills up to a competent level, you'll review all aspects and question types.

Should I take the GRE or the GMAT?
Most business schools now accept both the GRE and the GMAT, so which one should you take? I've written on the topic before but it's been nearly a year and I've got some updates.
The conventional wisdom has been that the math is easier on the GRE. Though many schools do accept the GRE, rumors abound that students who take this test are at a bit of a disadvantage because they are expected to do better on the (easier) quant section. Anecdotally, we have heard a few admissions officers admit that they do think about this (strictly off the record, of course). Most admissions officers, though, have said this doesn't matter to them at all, including several officers at the top 10 schools.
So we've come up with a series of decisions to help you make this choice. The first three questions are "deal-breakers"—that is, a certain answer will point you definitively to a specific test (the GMAT, as it happens). The fourth question is…murkier. We'll address that in a little bit.
#1: Do all of "your" schools accept the GRE?
This one is obvious. All business schools (that ask for a standardized test score) accept the GMAT. Most—but not all—accept the GRE. If you want to apply to any schools that require the GMAT, such as London Business School MBA (at the time of this publication), then you'll be taking the GMAT.
#2: Do any of "your" schools prefer the GMAT?
Most schools that accept both tests don't express a preference between the two. Some schools, though, do say that the prefer the GMAT. They publish this preference right on their web site, so go look up all of your schools and see what they say about the GMAT / GRE requirement for admissions.
As of the date of this article, Columbia, Haas (Berkeley) and Anderson (UCLA) all state that they prefer the GMAT, even though they do accept the GRE. If you want to apply to one of these schools, I recommend that you take the GMAT. (Note: these aren't the only three schools that prefer the GMAT; I just picked out the three most well-known ones that do. You still need to research your schools!)
#3: Do you want to go into banking or management consulting after b-school?
The major banks and consulting firms ask for GMAT scores when you apply. (Some of them even ask for undergraduate GPA and SAT scores. I think that data is irrelevant after someone has a b-school GPA and GMAT scores but I'm not the one making the hiring decisions!)

Want a Better GRE Score? Go to Sleep!
This is going to be a short post. It will also possibly have the biggest impact on your study of anything you do all day (or all month!).
When people ramp up to study for the GRE, they typically find the time to study by cutting down on other activities—no more Thursday night happy hour with the gang or Sunday brunch with the family until the test is over.
There are two activities, though, that you should never cut—and, unfortunately, I talk to students every day who do cut these two activities. I hear this so much that I abandoned what I was going to cover today and wrote this instead. We're not going to cover any problems or discuss specific test strategies in this article. We're going to discuss something infinitely more important!
#1: You must get a full night's sleep
Period. Never cut your sleep in order to study for this test. NEVER.
Your brain does not work as well when trying to function on less sleep than it needs. You know this already. Think back to those times that you pulled an all-nighter to study for a final or get a client presentation out the door. You may have felt as though you were flying high in the moment, adrenaline coursing through your veins. Afterwards, though, your brain felt fuzzy and slow. Worse, you don't really have great memories of exactly what you did—maybe you did okay on the test that morning, but afterwards, it was as though you'd never studied the material at all.
There are two broad (and very negative) symptoms of this mental fatigue that you need to avoid when studying for the GRE (and doing other mentally-taxing things in life). First, when you are mentally fatigued, you can't function as well as normal in the moment. You're going to make more careless mistakes and you're just going to think more slowly and painfully than usual.

Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence: A Little Grammar Does a World of Good (Part 3)
In a way, the environmental movement can still be said to be _________ movement, for while it has been around for decades, only recently has it become a serious organization associated with political parties and platforms.
The above sentence is a SE example from the 5Lb Book of GRE Practice Problems, #89. Today's discussion explores a third element of sentence structure that is easily overlooked – pronouns! They can greatly help you clarify the meaning of a sentence. (And if you didn't notice already, do you see what I did in the previous sentence? They – did this pronoun catch your eye?)
The challenge with pronouns isn't that they are difficult to address, it's that they are nearly invisible to us, because we have spent our entire adult lives ignoring them when we read and speak. As a test, how many pronouns have I used just in this short paragraph?
Here's one way I want you to 'see' the earlier SE example:
In a way, the environmental movement can still be said to be ________ movement, for while it has been around for decades, only recently has it become a serious organization associated with political parties and platforms.
Stop mid-sentence, and address those 'it's. This mental exercise is not about finding the target, clues, and pivots, although you should be aware a pronoun could certainly be the target. This is about making sure you understand the sentence. Mentally, you should read the sentence as

GRE Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence: A Little Grammar Does a World of Good (Part 2)
So, in my last post, I discussed finding the core sentence, using punctuation to help us break a sentence into manageable chunks. We looked at two sentences; I've re-copied one of them below.
The director's commercially-motivated attempts to (i)_______ the imperatives of the mass marketplace were (ii)_______, as evidenced by the critical acclaim but low attendance garnered by his film.
We focused on how the comma breaks the sentence in half: one half is the actual core sentence, and the other half describes how the director's attempts were critically, but not commercially, successful.
This time, let's dive into what's happening with that first blank, and now I'll give you the answer options:
Many, many students in my classes choose 'secure', and that really puzzled me. If a class doesn't know the answer, there's usually a fairly even division among the choices. What I saw wasn't students guessing; they thought they had the correct choice in 'secure'. Somehow, the third option was a trap. How?
I have a theory: 'secure' is a trap because students link the first blank to the wrong element, the wrong target. I think many students link that first blank to the word 'marketplace', and then think about how someone would want to 'secure' a 'market' for a product (in this case, a film).

Children's play center planned for Camden Street
Change of use for former Chinese Jade restaurantRockland — Plans are in the works for a new indoor children's play center to be established in the former Chinese Jade restaurant on Camden Street, according to documents at the Rockland Code Enforcement Office.
Taylor Baines has proposed creating the center at 169 Camden St. The project includes adding inflatable units, climbing equipment, a caterpillar tunnel/climber, playhouses, craft tables, a Lego table and space set aside for birthday parties.
The building is owned by Fu Le Investments, LLC. and Nate Fickett is listed as the contractor for the project.
The plans call for five employees.
Baines could not be reached for comment.
The code office has also received a site plan review application for the installation of a 1,512-square-foot pre-fab building at 5 Farwell Drive. The project has been proposed by Mike and Melissa Mank of Hope.
"The current business on the property is a motorcycle and automobile driving instruction facility," the city manager's weekly report states. "The proposed building will be used as classroom space."
The project is expected to cost $15,000.
It goes to the planning board Tuesday, Feb. 11, starting at 5:15 p.m. at City Hall.
The code office has also received an application from Liberty Hospitality of Maine, LLC. to convert condominiums to timeshares at the Tradewinds Motor Inn at 2 Park Drive. This is the fourth phase of an ongoing project. The project is expected to cost $80,000.
Courier-Gazette Editor Daniel Dunkle can be reached at 594-4401 ext. 122 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Good idea! If McDonalds had a play area that would be better, but that's probably not going to happen.
