It is the Concrete in which heavy aggregate is used to increase the density of the concrete; unit weights in the range of 165 to 330 pounds per cubic foot are attained.\n\nHeavy weight aggregate is an aggregate of very high unit weight, such as barium, boron, or iron ore, steel shot or punchings, which forms a high density mortar of concrete when bound together with hardened cement paste

These billboards are all over the US as of a few weeks ago.  Atlanta has been plagued with "I pooted" and "My boogers itch".  These phrases are from Fosters and Ed Edd and Eddy.  Other cities have seen "I have a meat beard" and "clowns hate tangelos".  These are from other cartoon network shows.  They possibly dis-included logos to get a better buzz, but children have a great recall quality that will enable them to remember lines like these from thier favorite television shows.  Since they are ads, the  purpose still is yet to be seen.  Have fun watching them pop up!

This phrase, meaning "all of it, everything", dates from at least\nthe 1950s.  The origin is a matter for speculation.  9 yards is not\na particularly significant distance either in football or in the\ngarment business (a man's three-piece suit requires about 7 square\nyards of cloth, and cloth is sold in bolts of 20 to 25 yards).  The\nphrase may refer to the capacity of ready-mix concrete trucks,\nalleged to average about 9 cubic yards.  Some people (e.g., James\nKilpatrick in Fine Print:  Reflections on the Writing Art) have\nsatisfied themselves that the concrete-trucks explanation is the\ncorrect one; but I haven't seen the evidence.  And Matthew Jetmore\nhas unearthed some evidence to the contrary, a passage from the\nAugust 1964 issue of Ready Mixed Concrete Magazine:  "The trend\ntoward larger truck mixer units is probably one of the strongest and\nmost persistent trends in the industry.  Whereas, just a few years\nago, the 4 1/2 cubic yard mixer was definitely the standard of the\nindustry, the average nationwide mixer size by 1962 had increased to\n6.24 cubic yards, with still no end in sight to the demand for\nincreased payload."  The phrase is covered by Cecil Adams in More\nof the Straight Dope, pp. 252-257.  A "canonical collection" of\nexplanations has been compiled by "Snopes" (snopes@netcom.com).\n\n   Michael Nunamaker writes that a friend of his in the U.S. Air\nForce suggested a World War II origin:  "According to him, the\nlength of the ammunition belt (feeding the machine guns) in the\nSupermarine Spitfire was nine yards.  Therefore, when a pilot had\nshot all his ammunition he would say he had 'shot the whole nine\nyards'."

There really weren't that many good ones. I was disappointed. The Fedex at the very beginning that had the package that was hard to deliver was good. I too liked the "hard tackle" commercial. The worst? No contest - the burger king commercial.

Passage directly lifted from source:\n\n"With the opening of movie theaters across the nation early in the 20th century, popcorn became a part of the new excitement. During the Depression years (1929-1939), popcorn was one of the few luxuries down-and-out families could afford. While other businesses failed, the popcorn business thrived. There is a story about an Oklahoma banker who went broke when his bank failed. He bought a popcorn machine and started a business in a small store near a theater. After a couple years, his popcorn business made enough money to buy back three of the farms he had previously lost."

It means "increasing or growing in numbers in a short time that it becomes significant". The second part of the sentence "who in this increasingly integrated world will be able to compete with American kids more direcly than ever for high-value-added jobs" gives the clue.
