School Reviews
- June 20, 2014 - Hello My daughter (15 years) will be coming with me to San Diego, and I look forward to search for a suitable school and close to the UCSD Extension (9500 Gilman Drive. La Jolla. CA 92093-0176 So can you help me to nominate the right school ?. Salahuddin Alghanim - Posted by Parent
- May 14, 2013 - Dedicated faculty, out-of-the box thinking, and a very supportive environment. GMS truly lives the mission of providing a positive and challenging learning environment that fosters self-esteem, empowerment and responsibility. Not just your average private school: a completely different way of teaching and educating girls. Wish there had been a school like this when I was a girl! - Posted by Parent
- January 31, 2013 - I am a former GMS student and I could go on forever about the education I have received from the school. It has not only taught me how to work in a group but it also helped me get to know who I am. It has sparked my interest and passions that I will continue to explore in high school. GMS has also given me the gift of confidence in who I am. The teachers and staff have helped me progress as a student and athlete. The education and skills each girl receives is priceless. There is no other school like GMS. I strongly recommend the school to any one who is interested. - Posted by Student/Alumni

New Canon Digital Rebel T1i 500D is officially announced
After leaks and leaks, the Canon 500D, aka the Digital Rebel T1i, is officially announced, and it becomes the new D-Rebel flagship, replacing the popular XSi/450D at the top of the D-Rebel world.
We are trying to be as diplomatic as possible, but the T1i name is the stupidest DSLR name ever. The number "1" and the letter "I" are frequently confused when used together, and the name itself has no flow at all. This definitely belongs in a "Marketing Gone Wild" compilation! Just name it "T1" for crying out loud, or use the same name as Europe, 500D is a simple and easy to remember name!

SUNRISE, Fla. - The Florida Panthers avoided arbitration by agreeing to terms on a one-year, $4.875 million contract with defenceman Jay Bouwmeester on Monday.
Sources tell TSN that the Panthers were interested in a longer term deal, but Bouwmeester wanted to do a one-year deal because he can become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2008-09 season.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Jay," Panthers general manager Jacques Martin said in a statement. "He has played an important role on our team over the last five seasons, logging significant ice time while contributing at both ends of the ice.
"While we recognize that arbitration was an option, we were always confident we would reach a mutually acceptable contract with Jay. We look forward to his continued growth and future contributions to our organization."
Bouwmeester, 24, played in Florida's 82 games last year, ranking first among NHL defencemen in ice time (27 minutes, 28 seconds per game). He also recorded a career high 15 goals.
The six-foot-four, 215-pound defenceman has certainly been durable, having played in all 82 games for Florida the past three seasons.
Bouwmeester has played in 389 career NHL games, all with Florida. He has 38 goals and 123 assists with 261 penalty minutes.
The Panthers drafted Bouwmeester, a native of Edmonton, third overall in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.
TSN.ca previews what to expect out of the NHL's 30 teams as we count down to puck drop. Check daily for team previews and updates on each Canadian franchise leading up to Oct. 8.

Weird Wednesday: Osama bin Laden Land, Whale Vomit, BK's Horse d'oeuvre
Wednesday is Hump Day, which means people are starting to look ahead to the weekend, but we think it's a time when people are also looking to get a little weird. Luckily, there's no shortage of that on the 'net. With a little help from our Community Editor Kate, we were able to curate 8 of the absolute craziest videos on our site. Prepare yourself for horse meat, celebrity cats, expensive puke, terrorist rollercoasters, squishy purple balls, and sticky icky that'll make you super sicky.
Burger King's Horse Meat Scandal via NMA TV
NMA TV is the future of news. I despise watching the news. Outside of the rare local news screw up or whack job interview, it's all doom and gloom. But NMA makes it easy to swallow. Following the thread on this storyline is an adventure: Equine DNA blamed on an Irish supplier who sources their beef from Poland with a little mad cow disease, Subway's "Footlong", and the Burger Time video game thrown in for good measure. Oh, and the French love horse meat apparently.
If you eat meat, where do you draw the line? Like why is it cool to eat cows but not horses? Who gave dogs and cats a reprieve? Not Chinese food restaurants.
1,000 Meter Long Smoked Horse Intestine Sets Record via Zoomin
Speak of the devil. 1,000 meters long, 3.5 meters high (100 layers), and weighing in at 4,500 kilograms. Burger King's like, "See? It's not so bad!" This treat is called 'Kazy' and might be coming in nugget form to Happy Meals everywhere.
Check Out This Cat's Eyebrows via Geo Beats
I hate cats, but these felines are pretty funny. I'm convinced those eyebrows were drawn on, though. Fifteen minutes of fame are hard to come by these days. On the internet, it's like 15 seconds of fame.
Gelatinous Purple Spheres Found in Desert via One Minute News
Really? No one knows what this is? Fungal growth? Absorbent polymer crystals? This could be the downfall of humankind and we're just like, 'eh, it's purple, how bad could it be?'
Weird Traffic Laws via Buzz60
No vanity plates after a DUI. No driving with a gorilla in the backseat. Ducks have the right of way. Pay for your tied up elephant at a parking meter. No peeling out. No wiping car with used underwear. It sounds like everything that should happen in the next Hangover.
Man Discovers Rare Whale Vomit via Geo Beats
Ew, it's the base scent in perfumes? $68,000? $295,000? How are the people at SeaWorld not wilin' out at the club with this knowledge? I'm pretty sure somewhere out there, there's a place where human vomit is valuable. Until someone disproves that theory, my barf bins won't be emptied.
Osama bin Laden Amusement Park?!? via Geo Beats
The estimated $30 million amusement park will start off at 50 acres and extend to 500 acres, which will include a zoo, clubs, jogging tracks, and waterfalls. The builders believe it will take 8 years to complete, which is still less time than the CIA took to catch him (bunch of lazy Larrys).
By the way, I hope the ending in Zero Dark Thirty wasn't an accurate depiction of what really went down at OBL's compound. That was just ridiculous. No word yet on what the mascots at the park will look like – but I'm guessing something with a beard like a goat… or a clam.
Girl Brain Damaged & Blind After Smoking Synthetic Weed via One Minute News
70% of her brain died, they removed the feeding tube but she's somehow recovering. Do you know how close I've come over the years to buying sketchy pills at the counter of various 7-Elevens or gas stations? I'm so glad I never smoked my grandmother's potpurri dolls. The lesson here is to only buy 100% natural organically farmed weed, kids.*
*Chill out, lawyers. It's a joke.

One of the common causes of downtime with MySQL is running out of connections. Have you ever seen this error? "ERROR 1040 (00000): Too many connections."

Schema changes – what's new in MySQL 5.6?
Among many of the improvements you can enjoy in MySQL 5.6, there is one that addresses a huge operational problem that most DBAs and System Administrators encounter in their life: schema changes. While it is usually not a problem for small tables or those in early stages of product life cycle, schema changes become a […]
When would you use SAN with MySQL ?
One question which comes up very often is when one should use SAN with MySQL, which is especially popular among people got used to Oracle or other Enterprise database systems which are quite commonly deployed on SAN. My question in such case is always what exactly are you trying to get by using SAN ?
MySQL extensions for hosting
A few weeks ago I was asked to isolate some functionalities from Mark Callaghan's MySQL patch bundle. They were extensions adding per-user and per-table accounting to the database, accessible with a new set of commands such as SHOW TABLE_STATISTICS, SHOW INDEX_STATISTICS and SHOW USER_STATISTICS. The first two can interest anyone to periodically check what data […]
MySQL Error Message Nonsenses
What MySQL honestly was never good at is giving good helpful error messages. Start with basics for example – The error message in case of syntax error gives you information about tokens near by but little details:
mysql> select * from user oder by pwd;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'by pwd' at line 1
It would be much better if MySQL would give error give exact position of error (with complex […]
Are PHP persistent connections evil ?
As you probably know PHP "mysql" extension supported persistent connections but they were disabled in new "mysqli" extension, which is probably one of the reasons some people delay migration to this extension. The reason behind using persistent connections is of course reducing number of connects which are rather expensive, even though they are much faster […]

RIVERSIDE, Calif. --- California Baptist University placed six players on the NCCAA All-West Region team this week, including the Pitcher and Player of the Year.
After leading CBU at the plate and in the circle, Savannah Miller and Jessica Avila took home top billing in the West with Player and Pitcher of the Year honors respectively. Sloan McHann, Mara Rodriguez, Rachel Meyer and Marshean August were all named to the All-Region team as well for CBU.
Miller led the Lancers with a .423 batting average this season, driving in a team high 36 runs and hitting a team leading 16 doubles. The junior catcher had a .627 slugging percentage and a .451 on-base percentage, striking out just eight times in 142 at bats. Her .423 batting average was good for 19th best in the NCCAA.
As just a freshman, Avila was a revelation in the circle for the Lancers, solidifying herself as the ace of the staff with a 20-10 record and a 1.89 ERA. She threw 188.2 innings on the year, allowing a .266 opponent's batting average and striking out a team best 97 batters. The rookie had 23 complete games on the year and seven shutouts.
McHann was a stalwart at first base for CBU all year, starting 47 of the Lancers' 49 games. The senior was second on the team with a .373 batting average, driving in 32 runs and hitting eight homers. She also had a team high three triples this season and her eight homers were second for CBU.
Rodriguez was even more of a constant on the infield for the Lancers, starting all 49 games this season. The second baseman hit .326, posted 35 RBI, seven home runs and was second on the team with 13 doubles.
August, along with Rodriguez, was one of two players to start all 49 games this season. The junior made countless stellar defensive plays in centerfield, while hitting .319 at the plate, with 20 RBI, 11 doubles and five homers. August also led CBU with 16 stolen bases.
Playing in her first season for CBU after transferring prior to this year, Meyer led the team with 13 home runs and 20 walks. Splitting time at catcher and designated player, the junior hit .302, slugged .626 and had 32 RBI.
CBU's six All-Region selections led all teams in the West.

BirdieBall StrikePad
Includes StrikePad and 1 Dozen BirdieBalls
Saves lawns from damage
Protects clubs from damage caused by rough mats or the ground
Reduces "jarring" of arms & shoulders at impact
Safe and convenient practice almost anywhere, even on concrete asphalt or dirt!
Use your irons, fairway woods or driver with StrikePad
Limited flight practice golf ball that you can hit anywhere
BirdeiBall has a true feel - true flight
BirdieBall has remarkable hang time
Can be used in small outdoor areas
Can be chipped indoors
Introducing BirdieBall, the limited flight practice golf ball that you can hit anywhere.
The BirdieBall has a limited distance of 40 yards but, feels and flies just like a real golf ball.
It draws, it fades, but with a limited range so you have your own backyard driving range.
BirdieBalls heavy feel and accurate flight is truly amazing. BirdieBalls are made of a super polymer and are very durable.
It spins exactly like a golf ball, it is heavy, it draws, it fades, it is practice, and it is fun
The BirdieBall spins exactly like a golf ball -- that is why it flies exactly like a golf ball, but for a shorter distance! The reverse spin around the BirdieBall's center of gravity, created with the loft of the club is similar to a golf ball.
The BirdieBall has remarkable, satisfying flight. It flies jost far enough to show ball flight but short enough to retrieve with minimal effort. The BirdieBall does not have forward roll when it lands because it has reverse spin, like a golf ball, and two flat sides. In fact, it backs up on most surfaces. BirdieBalls fly aobut 40 Yards on average.
The StrikePad is quite simple. It is a cambered, flexible polymer spring. The BirdieBall is placed toward the front where there is a gap between the pad and the ground. Upon swinging down and through the pad deflects downward - it simulates taking a divot. One of the most important aspects of the golf swing, when hitting with an iron, is the downward motion at impact.
When hitting with a fairway wood or a driver, place the BirdieBall on the levfel part of the StrikePad and use a more sweeping motion - avoiding taking a divot.
The flex in the StrikePad allows for direction and reboud at impact. It happens in the blink of an eye.

Go around the middleman; get your music straight to the people, ... You`ve got the Web now. Do it. Don`t even hesitate. Because people want to hear real music, and there`s a lot of talented kids out there, millions of them as far as I`m concerned, and they really have something to say. And they just needed their medium, and now they have it. That`s what I tell them. Go to the Web ... but do it.
In the last two years, the youngest people are asking me for the oldest songs, ... I`m talking kids . It blows my mind. I look at them and go, `How could you have heard that song? I haven`t sung it in 20 years.` It`s like I`m just starting now. I finally got a career.
It`s a brand new world, and it`s just beginning again, but on such a wonderful level of being able to communicate with each other directly, being able to talk to people all over the world,
When I flew over the crowd, that`s what I said to myself, ... I said, `If they put this picture in the newspaper, it`s all over for them, because now they can`t hide us anymore .`
You`ve got to go down to the Village. That`s where it`s happening.
I told him, `You don`t need to get gigs from the union. You can make your own band,` ... That`s how he did it. He went down to the coffeehouse I told him to go to. A month later, I`m around the corner at another cafe. Friend of mine comes up and says, `You gotta hear this band! This guy was great!` And I went around the corner and went, `It`s him! It`s that guy!` He was so magical.
It`s the first time that the original people were invited back to play, ... They`re doing it right. It`s going to be a wonderful 30th anniversary and reunion. I`m looking forward to it.

Curriculum vitae (pdf)
Lab Website
My research interests focus on human perception and attention, specifically, how attending to something makes it easier, or in some cases more difficult, to see or hear. I am also interested in human color vision, visual masking and other phenomena related to how quickly we can process visual information. Finally, I am interested in the effects of mental imagery on perception; for example, how having a visual or auditory mental image of something can affect the way you see or hear.

There's only so much you can write about Blacksmithing and Eternal Belt Buckle posting strategies. Most of the other professions can be summed up in a couple of paragraphs, and will never need to be revisited again. Inscription has been out for almost two years, and we're still arguing about even which herbs to mill.
You can also expect that your Blacksmith competitor is a rational, profit-driven businessman. You can also assume that your Scrivener competition is none of these. A battle to the death against irrational, self-destructive opponents can be more entertaining than just another day posting the same old gems at the same old prices. (And yes, the gold helps.)
In a few months, Cataclysm will rewrite the entire way we make and sell glyphs, and all this will start over again from scratch. (Then again, we are in the business of selling paper.)

NEW ORLEANS, LA—The city of New Orleans has something else to cheer about, other than its beloved Saints. Texas Rangers Manager Ron Washington is a New Orleans native. In fact he keeps a home in the Big Easy.
Washington is a 1970 graduate of John McDonogh High School.
"He was like our hero once he signed with the Kansas City Royals back in 1970," said Lionel Roberts.
You can say Roberts tried to model his baseball career after Washington. Roberts played in college and Washington was helpful in Roberts son landing a pro baseball contract.
"He played baseball and he was John Mac's first black quarterback," said Charles Cornish.
Cornish said Washington coached him on the playground back in the late 60's.
Cornish said he's always kept in touch with Washington throughout his long minor and major league career.
Cornish said he was in attendance at game five in Texas. Cornish and Roberts said they visit with Washington a few times a year in Texas.
"We go in the dug-out, bull-pen and his office and just talk and mess around," said Cornish.
"We are so proud a person from the Trojan family is doing so well," said Averio Sanders the school Principal.
Sanders said he's a big football fan, but lately all he's been watching is baseball.
According to Sanders, Washington is an inspiration to so many. "The fact a little African American boy from the St. Bernard projects can grow up and be only the second black to win a world series is incredible,"said Sanders.

Tens of thousands of Mozambicans are stranded without food and water after floods swept through the south of the country this week, sparking a large-scale humanitarian crisis.
With the displaced now living in the open and eating grasshoppers to survive, the Mozambican government and international agencies like the Red Cross are warning of a looming catastrophe.
When the floods came on Wednesday, residents of Chokwe town escaped the raging flow of the Limpopo River with what little they could carry.
The heaviest rains had stopped several days earlier, but it was already too late.
Swollen by downpours in neighbouring South Africa and Zimbabwe, the flood wave was on its way.
"No one really thought this could happen," said Sergio Chauke, who escaped with only his identity documents.
Those who could bundled into vehicles and fled the town.
"Those who did not have transport climbed onto the top of buildings," Chauke said.
Sergio and his sister are now among tens of thousands of people camped out by the roadside outside the town.
Kilometre after kilometre, people are huddling under trees have spread out their belongings to dry.
More are arriving constantly, some on foot along with their livestock. Most are women, children and the elderly.
As they wait for help to arrive, hunger is setting in.
"We are eating grasshoppers," Alice Mabunda said.
The risk of disease has skyrocketed.
Diarrhoea is already the biggest killer of children in Mozambique, and without latrines a cholera outbreak may not be far away.
A few kilometres down the road is a government camp to help flood victims.
It last operated during floods of 2000 that killed an estimated 800 people and displaced millions.
But the huge crowds waiting there for food are disappointed.
"It is three days now. We have nothing to eat, nowhere to sleep, no clothes. I left as I am," said mother-of-six Alice Mukavele.
"There is very little food," said International Red Cross official Armando Djedji.
So far the Red Cross is the only humanitarian organisation on the ground.

The legal battle between the Lubbock Independent School District and a gay student organization continues, but on Wednesday a federal judge ruled in the district's favor.
Federal Judge Sam Cummings granted Former Superintendent Jack Clemmons immunity, dismissing him from the case. Cummings ruled Clemmons did not violate policy when denying the students the opportunity to meet on campus. Clemmons was named in the lawsuit along with present Superintendent Wayne Havens and Deputy Superintendent Fred Hardin.
However, the judge has not issued a final ruling on whether the district discriminated against the group.

My Beautiful Rescue6 Reviews
Ryn's/Brendon's POV.
I cried out as I felt a sudden stinging in my neck. What the hell was that? I tried to pull back from Brendon's hug, but his embrace had turned into a vice grip, holding me there. I reached up, and I could tell that Brendon's face was pressed to my throat. The pain intensified as I could feel blood being drawn out, all the blood in my body directed to the small punctures that I assumed where there. I tried again to pull back, but Brendon's grip only tightened further.
"B-Brendon…" I whimpered weakly. I felt dizzy and weak, my vision fading in and out.
Above the pain, and the dizziness, a thought came to me. What was Brendon? The answer was instant. It all made sense; his "allergy" to the sun, his dazzlingly good looks, his ultra pale skin…and now this.
Brendon was a vampire.
My mind blacked out, and I fainted.
Brendon's Point Of View.
As Ryn went limp in my arms I caught her on instinct. I tore my lips away from her throat, my eyes dulling down to brown as I realized, in horror, what I had done. I leaned down and ran my tongue across the punctures to stop the bleeding. I couldn't believe that I bit her, my girlfriend, my love. Ryn. Tears came to my eyes as I realized what had to happen now. I looked around desperately, hoping that no one had seen. But there, only a few feet away, were Ryan and Maddi, looking at me with a mixture of sympathy, horror, and fear.
"I…" I began, trying to explain myself, only to realize that there was nothing I could say to condone what I had done.
Ryan dropped Maddi's trembling hand and walked over. He wiped away a tear that was running down my cheek. He sighed, looking at me sympathetically.
"Take her home. Do what you can for her. I'll cover for you, say you got sick."
I smiled a little. Thank God for Ryan. "Thank you," I said quickly, leaned over and kissed his cheek, then flitted off through the cafeteria and out of the school. Within seconds I was at my house, using my superhuman speed to get Ryn to safety. I didn't think the humans along the street would appreciate seeing her change into a vampire. I brought her down into my room, the basement, and set her on my bed. I sighed and sat on the floor. What had I done? I was a horrible boyfriend! Especially since I was forbidden to change anyone, if the Organization found out about Ryn, not only would they kill me, but her as well. They couldn't find out then. But they had to find out, otherwise how would Ryn get blood? That's where you got the bottled blood, see, instead of having to bite humans.
I sat, pondering my un-life for a couple hours, before I heard a slight groan. I turned to look at Ryn, and saw that her eyes were fluttering. They opened completely, her blue eyes now a fiery crimson. Her skin was pale and unblemished, and if it was possible, she was even more gorgeous now. She sat up with a yawn, and I saw her new long fangs.
I winced.
She looked over at me and smiled. "Morning Brendon. Did I spend the night here? I don't remember."
She got down from the bed and sat next to me, wrapping her arms around my waist. I hesitated before hugging her back. She had no heartbeat. I missed it.
I sighed, "No, you didn't spend the night here."
"Then why…" she trailed off, confused.
I stood and helped her to her feet. I pulled her over to a full body mirror and stood her in front of it.
No reflection.
"Wh-what's going on here?" She asked me, confused.
"You really don't remember?"
I paused, then sighed. "I bit you, Ryn," I told her ashamedly.
"So what, Maddi bites me all the time."
"No, Ryn, you don't get it. I bit you, like, with my fangs. I Turned you!"
I looked at her and smiled a toothy smile, letting my fangs extend. She whimpered.
"But that would mean…" She opened her mouth and hooked one finger on her tooth. It instinctually lengthened from the contact with flesh and it cut her finger.
"Ow," she gasped, taking her finger from her mouth, which, may I add, wasn't bleeding. Just cut.
"I'm sorry," I whimpered, stepping back away from her. "You must hate me."
I know I would hate me.
"I don't hate you Brendon, why would I?"
"I changed you into a vampire, Kathryn! A blood sucking mon—"
"I don't care, I've always kind of wanted to be a vampire."
"It's not just that though, its…something else."
"Well, what is it?"
"I…I wasn't supposed to bite you. I'll be in so much trouble. You too."
"Trouble from who?" Ryn asked, confused.
"Just…them. The Organization. They, like, help vampires, but they also punish them and dispose of them when they have to. We're not supposed to create more vampires, Ryn! We're immortal, there's no need to have more vampires, since we'll live forever. They're going to kill us both, Ryn, if they find out. And they will find out."
"Can't we leave? Keep on the move so they can't find us?"
"I think that's what we'll have to end up doing." I sighed. "We should go now. I'm gonna pack my stuff, then we can stop at your house and get your stuff."
Ryn fell silent and sat on Brendon's bed, watching him pack up clothing and money and cd's and various other things. She wondered why she hadn't put this together sooner. Why hadn't she noticed how deathly pale he was? How he never ate at lunch, or, any time for that matter. Why had she never seen his fangs or the red of his eyes? And his sun "allergy", why didn't she question that? It was all too obvious, now that she thought about it, that he wasn't human. It made her feel totally incompetent.
"Well, that's it, I think," I sighed. "Let's go." I slung my two backpacks over one shoulder.
Ryn stood and took my hand, and I led her out of my room. I'd miss that room, in all the places I've lived, that was easily my favorite. I don't know if I just liked it, or if I felt a special tie to it because it was the place I'd been bitten, but I'd miss it. And Mom, I'd definitely miss her. Unlike most that got bitten at my age, I lived with my real mother. Most of them had been sixteen, seventeen for a very long time and their moms were dead. So they could live a semi normal life, they picked out another woman to pose as their mother and tricked them into thinking that they were her actual son or daughter. I knew I'd have to do that at some point, but didn't think I'd have to do it so soon. Meh.
I walked into the kitchen and picked up a piece of paper and a pencil. I scrawled out some sob story about how everything was going horribly and I couldn't deal with it anymore and how I was going to kill myself. Better for her to think that I'm dead, she won't come looking for me. I signed the note and set it on the counter, then took Ryn's hand again. I led her out the front door and onto the porch. We walked in silence down the street and around the corner, neither of us looking forwards to leaving behind our families, our friends. When we arrived at her house she unlocked the front door and we went inside. I realized that I'd never really been in her house before. It looked pretty much like mine, but it was a bit more modest. I followed her up to her room. It was pretty cool—the walls were purple, the carpet dark grey shag. Her furniture was all glossy black, and there was a cd collection in the corner even bigger than mine. Posters lined the walls, and pictures of her and family, and what I assumed were old friends were on her desk. I liked her room. Not that it really mattered, we'd never be here again.
I watched her stuff clothing and shoes and other various things into a small suitcase, then some cds, pictures, electronics and a mass of chargers into a backpack. She zipped it up, then stood, picking up both of the overstuffed bags.
"Let's go," she said quietly.
I didn't respond, only hugged her briefly, then walked out of the house behind her.
"We should go back to the school first," I told her. "So we can pick up my car. I also wanna say bye to Ryan."
He was my best friend after all. He was my best friend before I was changed, he was there for me when I was changing, and he's still my best friend now. I at least owed him a goodbye.
"Okay," she replied.
"Just run," I instructed, "like you normally would. You go really fast and people can't see you. Follow me."
And with that, I flitted off towards the school, Ryn on my heels. Within seconds we were there, in front of my parked car. I opened up the backseat and put our bags there.
"Are you gonna come with me or wait here?" I asked her.
"I'll wait here." She said, and climbed into the car.
"Alright. I'll be right back." I flitted through the school and to the classroom that Ryan was in. I tapped on the window, and he looked over. I motioned for him to come out, and I waited as he asked the teacher to use the bathroom. After a few minutes he appeared outside.
"Hey Bren, what's up? Is Ryn okay?"
I shook my head, looking down.
"I'm sorry Bren. You know there was nothing you could do. It was bound to happen sometime."
I sighed. "I know. But…Ryan, remember what I explained to you about the Organization?"
"Well, we have to leave before they find out that I turned her. I came to say goodbye."
His skin paled. "You're leaving?"
"Yeah," I said softly.
Before I had much time to react he threw his arms around me and hugged me tightly.
"I'll miss you," he told me, his voice muffled by my shoulder. I hugged him back.
"I'll miss you too Ry. I have my cell phone, you can still call me and everything. But I told my mom in a note that I was gonna kill myself, so if she asks, that's what happened."
"Okay," He sighed and pulled back. "Take care of yourself Bren." He leaned up and kissed my cheek.
"I will. Don't worry." I smiled. "I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay. See ya."
"Bye Ryro," I smiled, then flitted off again. I appeared at my car and got into the driver's seat.
"Well, that's it," I said, looking over at Ryn.
"Yeah," she sighed.
I fell silent and backed out of the driveway, then drove down the street.
This was going to be interesting.
ahhhhhhh. okay. i finally updated. So, yeah. i don't like this chappy much, but ohhh well. comments and ratings are much appreciated.

Picture above shows Rays Reaching Out Club members who donated the pencils
Kasese Humanist Primary School has today 6th June 2013 received a consignment of pencils which is a donation coming from children studying at Pinchbeck Elementary School based in USA.
Kasese Humanist School students are friendly to the Rays Reaching Out Club at Pinchbeck Elementary School who have a mutual friendship existing between the two schools. This is the second time for KHPS to receive a similar donation of pencils where the first one was last year.
The donation consisted of 1000 pencils, 160 colored pencils and 6 pencil sharpeners and the pencils are distributed to the children at the school freely.
The school now has an enrollment that is above 250 at the moment and we expect more students to turn up in more weeks to come.
A big thank you to Jennifer at Pinckbeck who is coordinating the club to Kasese Humanist School and many thanks for meeting the expenses as in taxes that was charged by the Uganda Revenue Authority.
The pencils were received by Bwambale Robert Musubaho, the School Director at Kasese Humanist Primary School.

The KHPS poultry project is going on very well. The eggs are flowing in gradually with atleast 10 eggs per day and we have so far harvested 5 crates. A full crate holds up to 30 eggs.
We have started the execise of giving out the eggs to the KHPS children and since the total number of eggs coming out is inadequate the criteria we use to distribute the eggs to the children per class and the exercise will be rotating.
The chickens some time back were all vaccinated against New castle virus, a deadily disease that affects most the poultry industry. I was advised to do this by the chicken feed and poultry supplier in our area.
As with the local breed chicken, they are also doing fine and we have resorted to having them feed on free range during day time while at night time they are fed indoors.
Videos showing the egg distribution exercise are available on the KUHASCHOOL PROJECT YOUTUBE Account at http://www.youtube.com/user/Kuhaschoolproject
On another note i am informing the friends and well wishers of Kasese Humanist Primary School that the school has of recent identified and purchased land that will be a permanent home for KHPS and a fundraising drive is going on where we welcome donations to aid us finalise payment of this land.

Kasese Humanist Primary School has secured land measuring 9 acres in Kasese Municipality to serve as a permanent home for the school.
This land is situated in Scheme Ward, Nyamwamba Division after the Nyamwamba Bridge along Kasese - Fort Portal road. Land mark features near this procured land is the Kasese Airfield, Nyamwamba river which the site borders in the west and the Highway in the north.
The land was purchased from a famous former town clerk of Kasese Town Mr. Cosmas Byaruhanga at the tune of 35 Million Uganda shillings and the transactions were executed under a reknowned Lawyer conducting business under the names of Sibendire Tayebwa & Company Advocates and Mr.Bwambale Robert Musubaho on behalf of Kasese Humanist Primary School who paid cash 17 Million shillings as first pay leaving a balance of 18 Million.
Kasese Humanist Primary School currently is renting building properties of the defunct Uganda Railways Corporation at a fee which the school management considers to be very high neccesitating a need for the school to have its own home. The new property is located approximately 3 KM from the current school site and there are many benefits at the new site like easy availability of sand, rocks, water and easy working soils where the school can put a series of projects like the ongoing poultry project, piggery, fruit growing, Class room blocks, staff quarters,play grounds, computer laboratory , spacious library and so on.
On the Land purchasing agreement, Kasese Humanist Primary School upon request by the seller want to get his balance of 18 Million shillings in a period of 2 months and deadline is on 28th March 2013.
Owing to the urgency of funds to complete the debt. The School Director, Bwambale Robert is going to work closely with a selected number of international friends and organizations to ensure we launch a fundraising campaign to raise the 18 Million Shillings (Approximately 7000 US$)
A photo slide of the procured site location can be viewed at the link below:
All friends and wellwishers of the school are encouraged to support KHPS in this cause such that the school attains total control of the property as this will strengthen its stability and service delivery in our efforts to offering a balanced secular education to Ugandan children.

St. Patricks Day Recap
Around our house St. Patrick's Day is one of our favorite holidays because I love corned beef and having a great time with our friends. This year was no different because I whipped up some delicious corned beef and we got to spend time with a lot of great friends.
For St. Patrick's Day this year I was determined to make some fantastic corned beef and that means getting it in a brine about 4 days before the big day. The brine consisted of water, salt, sugar and pickling spices. This was my first experience brining and it was very successful. When we were ready to cook the beef, I rinsed the meat and braised it with water, onions, carrots, celery, and more pickling spices. The meat cooked for about 4 hours and it came out tender and juicy. Since we were going for the authentic Irish feel, we had to have cabbage and potatoes, so when the meat was done and resting I cooked the cabbage and potatoes in the braising liquid the meat cooked in. And while the cabbage and potatoes were a little boring to look at they tasted fantastic.
The dinner was great and just what you need when celebrating St. Patrick's Day. To go along with the corned beef I made a tasty batch of horseradish cream that worked great with our dinner. The best part of this Irish feast was the leftover corned beef we had the next day. That beef was used for delicious rueben sandwiches complete with sauerkraut and homemade Russian dressing. I hate to say it but the sandwiches were almost more exciting than the original dinner.

Don't forget Gao as well! Too many Chinese people are disappearing from the CCP crack-downs! As I fear the worst for Ai Weiwei! The same thing could just as easily happen to Han Han !
The rumors are that the Chinese governmrnt already paid a bribe to get the two Chinese mine managers out of Zambia! The Chinese government would have still been able to bribe the Zambian government had the two Chinese nationals even killed the 11 or 12 Zambian miners with their shotguns! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the second time Chinese managers shot Zambian citizens over a wage dispute in a Chinese state-owned mining company?
Gotta love the Chinese National Museum, built to be larger than the British Museum and the French Louvre, but totally lacking in the key disasters of the 'Great Leap Foreward' and the 'Cultural Revolution", It is built in Tiananmen Square, and I have to ask if there any mention of the incident that occured there in 1989? Then again, is there any history about China's role with the Soviets and DPRK during the Korean War from 1950-1953 at the Chinese National Museum? Nothing about the conflicts with India in 1962, the Soviets in 1969, and the invasion of Vietnam by the Chinese communists in 1979? Gee, why am I not surprised that the CCP cannot achieve greatness culturally, as they have economically!
The Chinese State Council is warning local governments not to evict farmers from their lands? Where were they all this time? Under a rock?
The barbaric idea of enclosing small goldfish and turtles as living key chains is not new in China, as they have done it before in the past! Vendors who sell these live animal key chains say the animals can live for months without air and food! Do they offer a money back guarantee? Education in China is a terriblr thing!
Why does China work so hard to assure its neighbors and the world of its peaceful intentions and the benevolence of its "rise," then turn around and mock its own hard efforts? What other country shoots itself in the foot with such regularity?
I guess that Ai Weiwei stepped over the line, and his documentary in PBS is the nail in the coffin. I saw a preview of pbs frontline show of him going to a police station with reporters and camera crew. In the US, In the US, if you bring a camera videotaping yourself with the police, you'll get your ass in jail.
What are the Chinese doing in Africa…….?
"In the US, if you bring a camera videotaping yourself with the police, you'll get your ass in jail."
For a day, if that.
So where are the american musesums showing the massacre of the natives, the koreans, the vietnamese, the iraqis, the afgans, the africans, the latin americans. oh dear, seems someone has forgotten whole swathes of their history.
Who is Ai Wei Wei ??….Have you read his articles & thpoughts ?….What has he contributted to the Chinese society and nation ? emmm…most likely another Chinese on the payroll of CIA.
How about getting 8 western countries enforcing 'no fly zone' in Beijing & start planning an invasion on the Chinese capital….like what those western countries did about 100 year ago ?…..yes, yes, yes, let's bomb the hell out of it and looted all their treasures again, make China in chaos so that they will never be able to challenge us when policing the world.
Human rights ?…ask the people in Iraq, Afghanistan & now Libya.
Annoyed… Yay, another 50 cents! wrote:

….Yes, you idiot. You would learn all that if you ever went to a U.S. school or attended a U.S. museum
"Latin Americans"? "Koreans"? Didn't know about those. I thought the Dear, Wonderful, and Magnificent Leaders were the greatest killer of Koreans. The #1 killer of Iraqis and Afghans is other Iraqis and Afghans – not that you'd get any of this from CCP-TV. In the US and other Western nations, as anyone who knows anything knows, you can find out what you want about virtually everything, and there is very little anyone can do to stop you. If you research the Atlantic slave trade, you will be helped by government authorities, not detained or imprisoned. Ditto the Vietnam War. In China, try researching anything but blue sky and Mao's virility without first getting a stamp on your butt from Hu Jintao.
Im not a 50cents party member
Im just a ordinary citizen in CHINA
BUT if I was the governer,I prefer to kill him ,cause he endangered our growing society,
we chinese dont want to be Lybia or Egypt,SO COME ON,foreigners
Please get to work or make love with your girlfriend,don't tell us what we should do or not
CAUSE THIS IS CHINA,NOT Fxxx AMERICA!
Platz des Himmlischen Friedens ?????? NEIN! "Platz des Grausamen Massakers"
Warum schließen andere Staaten die Augen und machen bei der bestialen chinesichen Diktatur mit? Es ist wie Mobbing, wer sich nicht dagegen äußert, macht mit und wer nichts dagegen tut, unterstützt es.
Vor mehreren Jahren so Lothar Spät: Wir wollen unsere Wirschaft nicht beeinträchtigen….
Und am 27. Nov. 2010 in der Augsburger Zeitung unter "Museumskunst für China" :
"Ziel der für ein Jahr geplanten Ausstellung sei eine nachhaltige Vertiefung der kulturellen Kooperation mit China, sagte der Generaldirektor der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, Michael Eissenhauer. Die Menschenrechtssituation in China sei jedoch kein Thema: "Wir konzentrieren uns auf die Möglichkeiten der Kunst. Auf die gegenwärtige politische Diskussion werden wir nicht eingehen." Der Kulturexprte des Auswärtigen Amts, Werner Wnendt, sagte jedoch, die Prinzipien der Aufklärung seien auch eine Aufforderung an die heutige Politik "die Benutzung des eigenen Verstandes zu erlauben". Das Außenamt fördert die Ausstellung."
Und jetzt ist Wei Wei verschwunden! Vertiefung der kulturellen Kooperation mit China????????? Jetzt wäre eine "sofortige Beendigung der kulturellen Kooperation" angebracht… wer traut sich?… Was Michael Eissenhauer sagte, war der GIPFEL DER FEIGHEIT!!!!
NEIN, wir dürfen auch nicht die grausame chinesiche Geschichte und ihre früheren Opfer und Kämpfer für Demokratie und Menschenrechte vergessen, und auch nicht die tibetischen Opfer, die bis heute noch grausam gefoltert werden, weil sie für ihre Rechte kämpfen. JA, das ist der "Platz des Grausamen Massakers" von wahren chinesischen Helden.
Since it is not a Place of Heavenly Peace, why don't we just rename Tiananmen Square worldwide: "Bloody Massacre Square"? Then we wouldn't be lying and sucking up to these bestial Chinese dictators.
In the absence of a forward-thinking vision, China's president has instead often gazed backwards, into the periods of Chinese history the party once shunned. And that's problematic.
In a world where Beijing does not intend to back down, Washington needs to do some soul searching about its China policy, writes CRT analyst Ying Ma.
Voices of dissent inside China's Communist Party over the Xi Jinping's long-running anti-graft campaign appear to have gained enough currency to make some in the leadership nervous.
China's evolving legal system is a study in contrasts: the Party is taking new steps toward legal reform, but they coexist with the Maoist practice of show trials and public confessions.
The recent study examining the lives and labors of Communist party cadres in Shandong province is noteworthy not only because it shows that many Chinese officials have a tough time staying clean. It's also a telling example of the tension within China's political circles about the best way to wage war against corruption.

I'm a total news junkie.
In the newest installment of GABE & MAX NEED HELP, i find Max's secret diary in which he has written how he really feels about our friendship. It hurts my feelings, yes, but it's also exactly what I would expect from him.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about "Gabe and Max Need Help," the new web series that Max Silvestri and I made (with the help of so many talented people), which co-stars Kumail Nanjiani and has an amazing theme song by Ted Leo and is just all around the most fun and best thing that we have ever done, but I will try: I am very excited!
Here's the first episode, and there will be new episodes each week on Thundershorts.com. Please tell all of your friends, and please tell your enemies, and also your mom and dad. Like, "GET ME EVERYONE!" from The Professional? Like that.
Man Unaware All His Friends Think Of Him When They Want To Put Things Into Perspective
This is a quick trailer for the upcoming new Gabe and Max series, "Gabe and Max Need Help." I'm really excited for people to see the videos and I don't care who knows it! Excitement is BACK!
The videos are premiering on-line at the end of the month on Thundershorts, but if you are in the LA area, I'll be showing one of the videos next Wednesday (6/18) at The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail. I cannot wait to see you all there, no excuses.
Gabe and I watch the one where Zack and Slater place bets on who can kiss Tori first, Screech sends Lisa secret-admirer letters, and in the end, most of them get fooled in the great costume-switcheroo scheme at Bayside's Masquerade Ball.

Here are some choice quotes from today's Thursday Styles Section profile of convicted murderer Michael Alig, in no particular order:
"I look just ADORABLE in my mess-hall whites & hair net," Mr. Alig tweeted in Marchto his followers (he currently has 29,500).
His face looked fresh and well rested, his hair was given a jailhouse Caesar cut, and his biceps and shoulders were buffed, thanks to a "cute boy" he met who is studying to become a personal trainer.
His spin on "America's Next Top Model": take two wannabe club kids from Podunk towns and with no money, plunk them down in New York with $1,000 and see if they can thrive "on being fabulous," he said
Victor P. Corona, a sociology professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, said that Mr. Alig is a bona fide fashion icon, one who paid his debt to society and made a lasting contribution to culture.
For the first time in 17 years, since he pleaded guilty to killing Andre Melendez — a fellow club kid known as Angel — in a heroin-soaked stupor in 1996, cutting up the body and tossing it into the Hudson River, Mr. Alig walked as a free man.
Mr. Alig then suffocated him with a sweatshirt and poured Drano down his throat, he said, before dumping the body in the bathtub, pouring ice over it and abandoning the apartment for the next nine days.
Mr. Alig ordered a pan-roasted Arctic char and a Coke.

TEAMS: Michigan State Spartans, Minnesota Golden Gophers
Injuries are a concern for Michigan State, but having Gary Harris available may quell some worries. Even a healthy lineup, however, couldn't beat Minnesota in this season's Big Ten opener. The No. 12 Spartans hope Harris is healthy enough to play Wednesday night when they try to continue their home dominance of the 18th-ranked Golden Gophers. Michigan State (18-4, 7-2) seems likely to be without reserve guard Travis Trice unless he can pass a concussion test, but Harris (back spasms) probably will play. Both were injured in Thursday's 80-75 win over Illinois, and coach Tom Izzo would like to have at least one of the guards on the court. "If those two guys couldn't play, we are down to the nitty gritty," Izzo said. While Harris' back seems likely to comply, Trice is expected to be out and that may mean an increased role for Denzel Valentine. The freshman guard connected on all four of his field goals en route to a season-high 14 points Thursday. &...

The law of insurance contractsi n the People's Republic of China. Comparative analysis of policyholders' rights
AbstractThe implementation of China's economic reforms, beginning in the early 80's, and the formal establishment of a "Socialist Market Economy" in the following decade, stimulated substantial changes and improvements in the Insurance Laws and Regulations of the People's Republic of China (hereafter: PRC). The need for a modern and sophisticated legal framework aimed at regulating rights and remedies arising out of insurance contracts, as well as the insurance business in general, became clear and compelling as soon as the Communist State began its slow but inexorable retreat and it ceased to take care of every aspect of the life of the Chinese People. In the new socialist market context, the insurance contract is predestined to become the most important legal and economic tool available to those individuals who are not willing and/or able to bear the entirety of the risks associated with the implementation of the modern economic reforms. Against such backdrop, this paper is aimed at exploring the history of insurance in China as well as the framework of insurance laws and regulation enacted in the PRC during the recent years. In particular, the focus of this essay will be upon the legal principles and rules that currently govern insurance contracts and the relationship thereby established between the insurance company and the insured. Hence, the analysis of the legal protection of policyholders' rights and interests in China will center around the rules of insurance contracts interpretation, integration and performance at present in force. In light of the international nature of the contract of insurance, this paper will also offer a comparison of different approaches to policyholders' protection adopted in various legal systems belonging to both the common law and the civil law tradition.

Critical Essay by Eugene Goodheart
SOURCE: "Raymond Carver's Cathedral," in Pieces of Resistance, Cambridge University Press, 1987, pp. 162-66.
In the following essay, Goodheart analyzes Carver's moral code, arguing that he is at his best when his characters adhere to it.
The affectless narrative voice of a Raymond Carver story defends itself against surprise or shock or pain. The most banal situations propose inexplicable signs of menace that require, in response, a discipline of unemotional terseness. Nothing much happens at the dinner party in "Feathers," the first of the stories in Carver's latest collection, except for the weird appearance of a vulture-sized peacock, which stares at the guests and to which Jack, the narrator, responds at intervals with three "god damns," as if the word were a talisman for preserving equanimity. The peacock, the plaster cast of misshapen...

Discovering New Talent at Artists Village in Santa Ana, California
It seems like every town has an art walk, but underprivileged Santa Ana is home to a remarkable wealth of art, and there is no better time to experience it than the first Saturday of every month at the Artists Village Open House. From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., you can browse the galleries and working studios of established and emerging artists. Browse local lofts for commercial art, or visit Cal State Fullerton's Grand Central Art Center on Broadway, where graduate students welcome visitors into their labyrinth of experimental arts in progress. Check its theater for current performances or exhibits. Out on the streets, live music and performances entertain. Sit on the patio at Memphis Soul Café to take in the atmosphere while enjoying a cocktail and a plate of shellfish jambalaya or cornmeal fried catfish.

Johannesburg - South Africa Twenty20 captain Johan Botha has been released from the national contract by the Cricket South Africa (CSA), which would permit him to take on the role of South Australia captain for the next two seasons.
CSA's acting chief executive, Jacques Faul, announced this board decision on Friday, in a statement.
"Johan has been an excellent servant of South African cricket for a lengthy period of time and we will never forget the manner in which he captained the Proteas to success in the absence of Graeme Smith in the away ODI series in Australia in 2009," Sports24 quoted Faul's statement, as saying.
"He has fully committed himself to the Proteas for the next five months which includes the away series in Zimbabwe and England as well as the World Twenty20 and is, at the moment, our first choice spinner in the T20 format," the statement added.
"However, he has had an offer to captain South Australia over the next two seasons and this will provide valuable opportunities in broadening his experience in a leadership role. I must stress that Johan remains fully committed to South African cricket in the long run and is by no means bringing down the curtain on his international career for the Proteas," the statement
further added.
Meanwhile, Botha expressed his thanks to CSA for his contract release, and claimed that his decision is due to pure cricketing reason, and money isn't involved in it. "I remain fully committed to the Proteas in the long term. But I would hate to look back on my career at the end and regret that I did not take this opportunity," Botha said. "It is purely a cricket decision and there is no financial incentive in accepting it. If anything I will be earning less than I would as a contracted player," he added.

My town has just started this program and I think it is fabulous for people who may have wanted to recycle, but was maybe intimidated or what not... Its so easy. We have always recycled in my home, but this program makes it fun. Chloe is very much involved in making sure that anything that can be recycled is. All we have to do is take our recycle bin to the curb along with our trash bin and within a few days, "X" amount of points are posted to your account according to your account number from the bin.
I think this could be very promising. Because, lets face it, its good to recycle but some might feel the need to see what they get in return. With the program, you get discounts! Yea! =)
**Disclaimer, I am sorry if it seems I am just rambling on at this point, I am so tired! But I wanted to put this out there**
