Bay-Friendly Garden Tour April 26th – Earth Week Tips for California Gardening by bewaterwiserep http://kyledesigns.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/sf-bay-friendly-garden-tour-april-26th-earth-week-tips-for-california-gardening/#comment-581 bewaterwiserep Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:10:07 +0000 http://kyledesigns.wordpress.com/?p=421#comment-581 I like the way your sister has planned the garden. It's not only beautiful but also water wise. At a time when many regions, including Southern California, are facing fresh water shortage, it would be very unwise to splurge water in gardens. Hence I would really appreciate your sister for the maturity she has shown in this respect. Further, your sister might refer to http://www.bewaterwise.com/knowledge01.html for more tips on a water wise garden. I'm sure your sister will inspire many others to build a water wise garden!

But the study also found that boys' scores were more variable than those of girls. More boys scored extremely well -- or extremely poorly -- than girls, who were more likely to earn scores closer to the average for all students. One measure of a top score is achieving the "99th percentile" -- scoring in the top 1% of all students. Boys were significantly more likely to hit this goal than girls. In Minnesota, for example, 1.85% of white boys in the 11th grade hit the 99th percentile, compared with 0.9% of girls -- meaning there were more than twice as many boys among the top scorers than girls. </blockquote> Which was exactly Larry Summers' point.

I am a Rat as well. I have been seeing more and more of these in storefronts and around the service counters in the small family stores. This year the New Year was kind of beaten up with the bad weather near Guangzhou. I hope all made it home safely and had a good holiday despite the travel problems.
