CARSON, Calif. -- Youth paid off for the LA Galaxy on Wednesday as a lineup that included nine players under the age of 23 and five rookies demolished the Puerto Rico Islanders, 4-0 in CONCACAF Champions League play.
Leading the charge on Wednesday were a pair of teenage Homegrown forwards in Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal. The pair created numerous scoring chances in the first half before McBean helped set up Villarreal's goal just seconds into the second half. Although a collision on the goal ultimately forced Villarreal from the match, McBean would bag his own goal in the 80th minute of play.
Following the victory, both young strikers were pleased with their partnership.
MCBEAN: "I think we kind of work off each other a little bit. I see him running, so I kind of want to help him out. And we've played together in then Academy for a year now; it's always good playing with a really skillful guy under me that I can lay the ball off to him. I know he's got my back and I've got his and well work for each other and work hard."
VILLARREAL: "We played a young team with me and Jack up top, but me and jack played in academy together so we knew each other pretty well and I think we did a good job and we got the win which was good."
CARSON, Calif. -- Edson Buddle made his long awaited return to action on Wednesday as the LA Galaxy forward went 19 minutes in LA's 4-0 CONCACAF Champions League victory over the Puerto Rico Islanders.
The return is a longtime coming for Buddle, who last played on May 26th in the Galaxy's 2-1 defeat to the Houston Dynamo. After a collision with Houston's Cory Ashe during the match, Buddle was forced to undergo surgery on his right knee to repair damage done to his meniscus on June 5th. Limited to light training until last week, Buddle was pleased with his run out against the Islanders.
BUDDLE: "It felt good, I was a little cautious, but I think through my equipment team and the medical staff, I was ready to go out there and push as hard as I can. But at the same time, I was aware that it is my first game and I think my teammates around me made it easier because they were available and the young guys have been doing a good job so far."
(On hoping to retake his spot in the lineup...)
BUDDLE: It's something that I've done before in my career. I think that I've played a long time now and it helps my game and makes me a better player. It kind of helped my injury because Bruce was in a good mood everyday and didn't put any pressure on me to get back because the team is doing well right now and it allowed me to heal properly.
(On what he can do to help the Galaxy in the stretch run...)
BUDDLE: "Score goals. Do what I've done in the past and score goals."
(On the fan reception...)
BUDDLE: "It was great, it was good to hear, it makes me feel like they haven't forgotten about me and at least it makes me feel that all the hard work that I've done in the past makes it able for them to cheer me on."
(On beating Puerto Rico after playing them in 2010...)
BUDDLE: " Absolutely. What comes around…it feels good."
CARSON, Calif. -- Dangerous performances are becoming a habit for LA Galaxy youngster Jose Villarreal.
Villarreal bagged a goal in 52 minutes of action in the LA Galaxy's 4-0 CONCACAF Champions League victory over the Puerto Rico Islanders. From the outset, Villarreal seemed in tune with strike partner Jack McBean as the teenagers caused considerable problems for the Puerto Rico back line. Villarreal finally broke through just seconds into the second half as he cut through a pair of Puerto Rico defenders, flicking the ball forward before being knocked to the ground. Ultimately, Villarreal was forced to leave the match due to the collision that left him with a welt on the back of his head well after the match.
Although the forward was forced to leave the match early, he believes that he will be fine ahead of Saturday's clash against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
VILLARREAL: "I'm feeling fine. I tested with the doctor and I'm feeling fine and hopefully tomorrow I train….It was just a knock in the back of the head, I'm fine."
(On sense of pride for the youngsters to win an important game…)
VILLARREAL: "Yeah, there's pride but we just have to focus and not let that get in our way because we've been playing with the reserve league. We just have to keep playing the way we are and when Bruce tells us to come and play, we just have to do what we did tonight."
(On his goal...)
VILLARREAL: "Jack flicked it off and I kept running, the goalie came out and I just took a touch right by him and after that I think I toe poked it, I'm hat I was on the ground. I never got to see my goal."
CARSON, Calif. -- At first glance, the LA Galaxy's lineup for a must-win CONCACAF Champions League match against the Puerto Rico Islanders was shocking
For a Galaxy side that has made the CCL a club priority, it was surprising to see nine players under the age of 23 and five rookies start against the Islanders. However, the kids quickly showed that they were alright. Tallying four goals on the night, the Galaxy thoroughly trounced the Islanders picking up a vital point in their quest to advance from Group 5 play and into the later stages of the continental competition.
While the success may have surprised some in the press box, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena was not shocked at all by the performance of his young players.
ARENA: "Well our team's come a long way, all these players we have. The young ones have really developed well over the year and you can see they're getting confidence and can play, and hopefully that speaks well for the rest of the season and the future for some of the young players...We were very confident in these guys. That's the reason they played tonight, because they could beat this team."
CARSON, Calif. -- Spearheaded by a youthful reserve-laden lineup, the LA Galaxy crushed the Puerto Rico Islanders 4-0 to win their second consecutive game in the CONCACAF Champions League.
It was a thorough performance that was sparked early on by the play of stellar 18-year-old forward Jose Villarreal as well as a Galaxy midfield that overwhelmed the Islanders. The victories place the Galaxy in the catbird seat for the final two CCL matches, which both take place on the road.

CARSON, Calif. --Two years ago, the Puerto Rico Islanders shocked the LA Galaxy at The Home Depot Center, but according to forward Jose Villarreal, the Galaxy have a game plan in mind to shut down the Islanders.
Puerto Rico arrive at The HDC having not scored in three NASL matches, but bring with them a talented offense that provides a dangerous mix of physicality and speed. The Galaxy may have to face the Islanders without all three of their Designated Players as Irish forward Robbie Keane is suspended while David Beckham (stomach illness) and Landon Donovan (left hamstring strain) are injury doubts. This could open up opportunities for players like Villarreal, who may earn his second CONCACAF Champions League start on Wednesday with Keane suspended and Donovan questionable.
The opportunity to participate in such an important may may deter some younger players, but Villarreal has a plan for Galaxy success.
VILLARREAL: "They're a very physical and athletic team with a lot of strong guys that have pace, but I think that if we put the ball on the ground and move it around them then I think we'll be able to get around them and score some goals."
A Good gameday Morning to everyone out there,
Tonight, the LA Galaxy will continue their CONCACAF Champions League campaign against the Puerto Rico Islanders.
Before the match, check out my Three Points to the match.
I'll be working on a very exciting Galaxy feature today, but expect more posts as we get closer to game time.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy have moved on from their shock 2010 defeat in the CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round to the Puerto Rico Islanders, but they have by no means forgotten.
In 2010, with the LA Galaxy flying high in league play, LA suffered a 4-1 defeat at The Home Depot Center in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League's preliminary round series with the Islanders. Fueled by two goals by Jamaican forward Nicolas Addlery, the Islanders crushed the Galaxy and advanced to the CCL's group stages a week later on a 5-3 aggregate after LA defeated the Islanders, 2-1 in Bayamón.
For LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee -- who went 23 minutes during LA's victory in Puerto Rico -- the impetus will be on the Galaxy to match Puerto Rico's intensity to prevent a repeat of 2010.
"That's not still in our mind. I think I remember a little bit when we saw them on tape earlier that kind of reminded us, but we have a much different team now and if anything, we can just take that on any given day anyone can beat anyone. So we definitely need to match their intensity at least."
(On Puerto Rico's recent inability to score goals...)
MAGEE: "They're not? They obviously scored a lot of goals on us a couple years ago. They look fast, they look fit and they have a lot of guys that we saw a couple years ago and played in the league who are dangerous so obviously, this is going to be a game where they're going to try harder so we've got to match them."
(On dangerous players for Puerto Rico...)
MAGEE: "Addlery....when he played us last time, he was a complete handful. Obviously, I haven't followed that league too much, but last time we played him, he was amazing and i think single handedly beat us."
(On whether or not LA overlooked Puerto Rico in 2010...)
MAGEE: "For sure. Sometimes you assume that just because they're in a different league that you can kind of play half a game and to be honest, if we don't play our best and we don't play our hardest then obviously we know that they can beat us but they can smash us."
CARSON, Calif. -- According to LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, the status of David Beckham and Landon Donovan is still up in the air ahead of Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions League match against the Puerto Rico Islanders.
Donovan has missed Galaxy's last two matches due to a left hamstring strain suffered while on International duty while Beckham battled through a stomach illness on Sunday, but was still able to go 78 minutes in the Galaxy's 2-0 victory over FC Dallas. The Galaxy will already be without one of it's three designated players in forward Robbie Keane as he was controversially sent off during last week's 5-2 CCL win against Isidro Metapán
During the portion of club's training session on Tuesday that was open to the media, Beckham participated in training -- saying that he "felt a little better" as he walked off, but Donovan was not on the field.
Following the training session, Arena addressed the media on the status of the two DPs.
ARENA: "They're moving along. David seemed fine today, Landon's working out inside today."
(On whether Donovan was likely or possible to play on Wednesday...)
ARENA: "I don't do any of those likelys and probablys and all of that stuff. We'll know tomorrow before kick off."
(On Donovan not training being a potential issue...)
ARENA: 'It would be if he hadn't played soccer in awhile, but he's capable of getting on the field and doing well."

Nothing can really prepare you for the impact of a fire or other emergency on your family and property. Even a small fire or flood can make you feel helpless and unsure of what to do next. This is entirely understandable. The New Zealand Fire Service regularly sees home owners faced with the same distressing situation. Here's some guidance on the important things you need to do now that the unimaginable has happened.
Do not enter your damaged house unless you have to and have been advised it is safe to do so. The Fire Service will check the water, electricity and gas supplies and either arrange to have them disconnected or advise you what action to take.
If you can't enter your home, you'll need to arrange accommodation. You may need to stay with family, friends or in a motel for at least one night, and longer if the house has been seriously damaged.
When your house is safe and you are allowed back:
It is normal to feel unsettled and disrupted for a while. You may well be able to overcome any problems yourself but don't be afraid to ask for help. After a crisis, it is often easier to talk to someone who is not involved and is trained to listen and help you find the services you need. Victim Support provides a free, flexible and confidential service. Free phone 0800 842 846.

Jamie is my new hero.
That "lowboy" bookcase featured in the top picture is my hero. Does anyone have any ideas where one can find such a beauty? I've been looking for a low bookcase like this on craigslist et al for the past 6 months, and it's amazing how many tall bookcases are available, but nothing short and sweet and 60 inches wide, tops. In the meantime, we're still avoiding the last four boxes of books that we can't unpack from moving. It drives me crazy and this bookcaes would solve it ALL. help.
I love full bookshelves. Wish I was at home reading for pleasure instead of at work...
I'm suffering from major bookcase envy right now.
You can make a nice low bookcase for cheap if you plan on painting it, mine was approximately $80 and I adore it
Thanks for those links Sarahc!
Wow! Jaime is my new hero too. I am totally adding her blog to my feed. I LOVE those pictures. It really makes me want to get our library organized and looking just as good.
The last time I was shopping for a bookcase I ended up frustrated because I couldn't find any the right size. Being the nerd that I am I ended up making a website that lets you filter the bookcases on Amazon by dimensions. I'm hoping it comes in useful to someone else as it has been to me.
I just *love* these pictures. The one with the built in book cases, above the door, is my favorite. It isn't unusual for me to look around our house and think about putting built ins all over above a certain level, including above all the doorways. I think we might have to do just that now that I've seen it.
I like that cute piture over head. where did you get the art work from?? Great pictures!
wow, I had no idea this was the subject of obsession, but now that I see these pictures, I think I'm obsessed too! thanks for posting and I'm headed over to that blog right now!
Levenger has bookcases designed to fit underneath window sills. Hurrah! They are expensive though, so not sure what to offer as a solution, unless money is no object (haha).

24 Hour Sri Harinam ( on 9/11/10 ) in DC dedicated to pay homage to H.G. Sripada Aindra prabhu !2,679 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » 24 Hour Sri Harinam ( on 9/11/10 ) in DC dedicated to pay homage to H.G. Sripada Aindra prabhu !
Sarvajaya Gauranga Das: ( On behalf of the 24 HOUR Harinam Festival in DC Committee )
Hare Krsna! Please do accept our dandavat pranam and all glories to the saviour of the world and our truly eternal ever well wisher A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada !! Hope things are going great on your end in Krsna consciousness within and without ! By the causeless mercy of Lord Sri Hari and blessings of His devotees, here we are making it through in our endeavour to please Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga !
As the 12 Hour Akhanda Harinam was one of the major most successes in the ISKCON DC Metro yatra on the New Year's Eve ( 2009 ), the stronger and never extinguished desire to have a 24 Hour Harinam here at the Potomac ISKCON Temple got intensified by the senior Srila Prabhupada desciples, senior devotees of the area, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation ISKCON devotees and Gurukulis, our very dear and precious Congregational members, visitors and Friends of Lord Krsna.
The glorious and untimely departure of one of the very best Kirtan leaders in the world, our beloved Sripada Aindra prabhu, made this need of having more and more Harinam chanting as an emergency call for all of us around the world, to take up the process of Krsna consciousness even more seriously as we practice it in our daily lives by constantly glorifying the Lord through His Holi Names collectively if not possible by individual efforts. The timeless tradition of akhanda Harinam chanting was given another flavour as H. G. Aindra prabhu took up the responsibility of continuing this chanting of Hare Krsna Mahamantra as his service of the life time till the last breath, in order to make this life a success in Krsna consciousness to go back home to Goloka Vrndabana Dham !
Being inspired thus, the devotees are very inclined to have a 24 HOUR Harinam on the 11th of September, 2010 ( Dusk of the 11th through the dusk on the 12th, rounding up with the world famous ISKCON Sunday Maha aratik and Love feast Dinner reception ). Again, This 24 HOUR Harinam is going to be dedicated as a homage to the departed soul, who is now eternally serving the Lord in His abode by chanting the Holi Name so nicely as he did when was physically around inspiring millions of devotees of the Lord in this world ! Sri Harinamanandi Sripada Aindra prabhu ki jaya !!
On this auspicious occasion, may we beg your priceless association to participate in to by doing the best you do as your service endeavour in Krsna consciousness ! We are very close to the Festival date with last minute endless things to cover up. Hence, your so very kind response to inform us about your probable participation at your earliest convenience will be highly appreciated and obliged!
We can be reached at - firstname.lastname@example.com & visit our website at www. Iskcondc.org or call us @ Temple – 301 299 2100, Sarvajaya Gauranga das - 240 543 4680 / Lakshmana Dasi - 301 219 2557 / Madhusudana Das - 978 3170630 / Chaitanya Nitai Das 240 476 6540.

Fun Car by An MSN Autos Consumer on 01/12/2012. Trim: 2012 Audi A3 2.0T PZEV Premium Manual, Owned 1 year.
Pros: It is suprisingly roomy for the size. It handles like a typical sporty German car. I love the manual which is hard to find in the premium package. This car is tons of fun and I am still able to average over 28 mpg. It is relativaly quiet and smooth ride. So far almost 2,000 miles on it.
Cons: Wish there was less hard plastic on door panels. Wish back part of sunroof could pop up open as well as the front one.
Overall review: This car is zippy and not too flashy. It is the perferct marriage of luxury, utility and sportiness.

Comments about Guitar Research 116-102W Acoustic Guitar Gig Bag with Pocket:
I bought one of these bags to carry around Fender guitars. I have a Gibson Les Paul also, but use the case for it.
One day I decided to put the Gibson in the bag to go show it to a friend. On the way home I was struck broadside in an accident. When the dust cleared I realized my Les Paul had flown out the window. I found it about 40 feet away in the street. The bag was a little dirty, but un-damaged. More impressive was the fact that the Les Paul wasn't harmed at all. I was sure I'd find a snapped headstock, but all is well.
I strongly recommend this product.

Yes, I'm talking about our crappers. As the BBC reported earlier this week, it seems so-called smart toilets aren't so smart after all. Researchers at Trustwave's Spiderlabs recently discovered security flaws in a $6,000 commode that could allow attackers to control the john remotely. The Beeb reports:
The toilet, manufactured by Japanese firm Lixil, is controlled via an Android app called My Satis. But a hardware flaw means any phone with the app could activate any of the toilets, researchers say.
The toilet uses Bluetooth to receive instructions via the app, but the PIN code for every model is hardwired to be four zeros (0000), meaning that it cannot be reset and can be activated by any phone with the My Satis app, a report by Trustwave's Spiderlabs information security experts reveals.
"An attacker could simply download the My Satis application and use it to cause the toilet to repeatedly flush, raising the water usage and therefore utility cost to its owner....Attackers could [also] cause the unit to unexpectedly open/close the lid, activate bidet or air-dry functions, causing discomfort or distress to [the] user."
In other words, using an extremely simply hack, an attacker could gain Roto-Rooter access to the device's OS.

The Problem We See
We believe that not only children belonging to prosperous families possess talent but the poor children also have certain hidden talents. It's just that former get the platform to showcase their talent but the latter fail to enhance and showcase their talent due to other priorities towards their families. Our society can not grow until the hidden talent in the underprivileged is recognized and noticed by the society.
How We Plan To Cure It
Our basic aim is to bring out the hidden talent in the underprivileged and enhance it. This would make sure that their talent isn't wasted and is utilized to its full extent. We plan to go to various slums in the city and conduct some events to bring out the talent from those areas. Talent isn't confined to extra-curricular but also to academics, sports and other fields. After finding the talent we plan to associate them with some experts in the respective fields who are ready to provide their support to us.
How This Will Help Them
By enhancing the children's talent and bringing it in front of the world, we plan to provide them a future source of employment. This can be done by making them capable enough to self sustain themselves. We would obviously not negotiate with their academics and therefore we would also enroll them into school and later on try to get them admitted to good universities through different quotas.

(Holland, MI - WHTC News) - It was a morning to beat the drums for a fall event that business leaders in the region consider to be crucial.
The second West Michigan Policy Forum is September 16th and 17th at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. Organizers such as Jared Rodriguez of the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce say that nobody could have predicted such an economic storm that has occurred since the first gather in 2008, and that the vision of business leaders in West Michigan is more critical now than ever. Forum Co-Chair Jeff Connolly of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan told member of the Holland Area Chamber of Commerce in this morning's Early Bird Breakfast at the Haworth Inn, "Let's not waste this (economic) crisis" in urging action.
Featured speakers in September's forum include Ford Motor Company Chairman William Clay Ford Junior, Meijer President and former GVSU President Mark Murray, and Amway President Doug DeVos. The forum is also hoping to have both the Democratic and Republican gubernatorial nominees speak before the group.

We're kicking off Sorority Row week with Audrina Patridge, who plays Megan in the slasher film hitting theatres this Friday. You may or may not know Audrina from the MTV sensation The Hills, or the tabloid magazines at the front of your local grocery's checkout lane. Sorority Row is Audrina's first major film, if you don't count Into The Blue 2: The Reef, which was direct to video. She's definitely no Jessica Alba, but there's no denying that Audrina can wear a bikini like nobody's business. And if you scour the interweb, you can find evidence that she also doesn't wear a bikini like nobody's business. A word from Audrina: "Go big or go home." We're packing our bags right now… It was very nice meeting you. You seem like a lovely lady. Thanks for the lively conversation and the pics after the jump.

SORORITY ROW opens this Friday and Screen Junkies' beat reporter Mike Capes had a chance to sit down four of the film's Theta Pi sorority sisters: Jamie Chung, Rumer Willis, Briana Evigan and Leah Pipes. Here's what they had to say about the film: First up are Briana and Leah, who play good girl Cassidy and über-bitch Jessica, respectively. Fast-forward to the :30 mark if you just want to see Mike ask them to make out… sorta.
Halloween 3D

Michael Myers is back in terrifying 3-D!!!
Tuesday, September 8 by
Rumors flew last week that Steve Miner would be sitting in the director's chair for next summer's Halloween 3-D. Not so much, it turns out. Patrick Lussier has been confirmed as the writer/director who will be spraying CGI blood at audiences. This is a bad move but not an unexpected one. His last film, My Bloody Valentine made big money at the box office due to its 3-D presentation despite the fact that the storytelling was terrible in every way, shape, and form. You should also note that H3 doesn't have a script or cast in place and is expected on screens in less than a year. Might be wise to avoid this one and play outside instead. You know, where everything is in 3-D. (First Showing) Get back to goofing off at work with these morning links… "Rampage" Jackson WILL play B.A. Baracus but will he get his own cereal?.

Halo 3:ODST Live Action Commercial – Watch more Movie Trailers No, it's not a trailer for some super secretive Halo film they've had in the works all this time. But darned if it shouldn't be received like one. Microsoft has just released a new trailer for the Halo 3: ODST game for the Xbox 360, directed by Rupert Sanders, a commercial director who's won a bunch of awards and accolades, all of which you can read about in SlashFilm's piece. All we care about is seeing things get barbecued to a crisp. Outdoor grill or Fuel Rod Gun; it don't matter! Hell, it's Labor Day Weekend here in the States!

When not listening to Bon Jovi albums, our buddy Dustin at Pajiba runs a pretty kick-ass movie site. One day last May he was feeling a little impulsive and announced to his readership that he would fabricate a news story within the coming days. He successfully created the rumor that "funny" man Dan Fogler would try to fill John Candy's size 13's with a remake of the John Hughes classic, Uncle Buck. The lie went by unnoticed and Dustin, distracted by a TBS airing of Son-in-Law, forgot to lift the veil on his prank. Hilariously, the rumor made it to the Fogler camp. Here's video of Dan denying any involvement in the fictional project:Thankfully, this remake was only a rumor but this was a risky deceit. Like Gods of the Nasuverse, the retread could have been accidentally willed into existence thus killing many a childhood. That's why we as writers should not start rumors, like the one I started above about John Candy's shoe-size. (Pajiba)

'Glee' Actress Jassalyn Gilsig
Friday, September 4 by Defy Media
Jessalyn Gilsig (one of the more interesting names I've ever typed) stars as Terri Schuester in Glee, premiering next Wednesday. Jessalyn is no stranger to TV, as it appears she's been in almost every show in the past ten years. Alright, not every show, but the list includes Nip/Tuck, Heroes, Friday Night Lights, CSI:NY, Law & Order, Prison Break, NYPD Blue, Boston Public, and The Practice. Damn Jessalyn, you've been bus-y. You must keep your trim figure running from set to set to set to set. A word from Jessalyn: "I'm proud that I can be single. I think it's good being alone." Oh so that's how you wanna play it? Alright, I can act aloof, too. Yeah, being single is awesome. I love not coming home to someone who cares for me and rubs my shoulders when I'm stressed. Frozen TV dinners rock my world, as my lonely tears drip into luke warm apple cobbler! At least there are pics of you after the jump to keep me company…

The "laugh track" has a long and storied history of letting morons know when to laugh. But when paired with the wrong footage, the use of a laugh track becomes highly inappropriate. To prove this asinine point, we here at Screen Junkies went ahead and added laugh tracks to five inappropriate films. We hope you like it, because it's the first of 47 installments. Enjoy. Crash Racism + Laugh Track = Inappropriate The Deer Hunter Russian Roulette can be funny, but not when the players are coerced. Inappropriate!

Today's Front Pages Analysis
As we flipped through our collection of U.S. front pages, two things struck us. First, 350 dead in a cyclone is a BIG story to some editors even if it happened in a country that many of our readers never heard of. Second, the "gasoline tax holiday" issue in the U.S. elections is a major item.
The cyclone that killed 350 or more happened in Myanmar, an Asian country that the U.S. State Department and many of us of a certain age prefer to call Burma. Quick, where is Myanmar or Burma? That's a true gotcha question.
As to the gas-tax holiday, Hillary Clinton has proposed canceling the federal tax on fuel during the summer months, while Barack Obama calls it a "bogus gas tax gimmick."
The Anniston (Ala)Star leads with "Cyclone kills hundreds in Myanmar" but takes a pass on the gas tax, while the Scottsdale Tribune in Arizona does it in reverse, with a Page One story about "Clinton, Obama make final pleas to voters," including the gas tax. The Sentinel-Record in Hot Springs, Ark., says: "Cyclone kills 350+ in Myanmar" but skips the election, while The Herald in Monterey, Calif., gets both stories on Page One, with a map for all to see about where Burma is.
Aurora (Colo.) Sentinel has a banner headline reporting "Cyclone toll tops 350" and a drop head explaining that "Thousands of homes in Myanmar are destroyed as a powerful cyclone ripped through the nation," which may get you to turn to Page 9 for the details. The Day in New London, Conn., leads with the Indiana and North Carolina primaries roundup. Just below is "Hundreds are killed by Myanmar cyclone."
St. Petersburg(Fla.) Times has an election story at the bottom of Page One and nothing about the cyclone, while The Lewiston Tribune in Idaho puts "Obama, Clinton squabble over taxes, policy on Iran" at the top of Page One while giving the cyclone a favored position. The Chicago Tribune leads with "Rivals get grillings on gas, pastor," as Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne, Ind., plays up "Crushing cyclone kills 350 in Myanmar" over the "Hoosier homestretch" voting tomorrow. The Boston Globe leads with the election and "Rivals spar on gas tax," while teasing to the cyclone story inside. The Albuquerque (N.M.) Journal has "Dems bicker over Iran, gas tax" and no cyclone, but The Blade in Toledo, Ohio, leads with the cyclone as do the Amarillo Globe-News in Texas and The Roanoke Times in Virginia.
At break time, we're going to read the Page One story in The Sun in San Bernardino, Calif., about the last orange grove in Rialto – and the passing of an era.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We used this card as an invitation for our rehearsal luncheon as most of the rehearsal cards noted "dinner" on them and did not have enough space for the information we wanted to include. We designed them ourselves, as well as our save-the-dates, invitations, and other enclosures, and were once again, extremely pleased with the designer specialists' finished product. It's very easy to alter any of the products shown online and the specialists do an amazing job following the instructions given. I even called the specialists regarding our save-the-dates, as I had never ordered through this website before, and they were very helpful and professional. My future mother-in-law asked me to help her order the rehearsal invitations and absolutely LOVED them! We have been very pleased with everything we designed and ordered from weddingpaperdivas.com and have recommended it to friends."
"I want to thank Juan , Takashi, Matt, Angela, Renee, Russel and everyone who helped me at wedding paper divas. Everyone who helped me was beyond patient, helpful and curtious. The end result was beautiful and when I had a problem , Weddingpaperdivas was very helpful. I would definitely, without a doubt use you again and absolutely recommend you to others. Thank you again, Ariela"
"i am so happy with my menus it is exaclty what i wanted and the website was so easy to follow. I needed to use the review services which was fast and perfect suggestions. They got here so quickly and im just so happy with the quality! thanks so much!!"
"We received this sample and will be ordering it for our menu to be placed at each place setting. The shape allows it to be tucked into the folded napkin. I like that it says Bon Appetit (cute). We plan to eliminate the apps section because those will be passed prior to the guess arriving at their seat but the card looks flexible enough to do so and expand the descriptions in other areas ie the entree and dessert section."
"The option to choose a color is a great feature. What I loved most was the ability to change the format. You can add or remove a course with no problems. Also, if you have more to write in the allotted space...DON'T worry! Divas' will fix it and make it work!!"

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am about to start my senior year at LHHS, and I would say that the school is average, if not slightly below. I've found that my experience has been similar to most of the other student reviews. There are definitely a couple of teachers who have really made a difference for me, but beyond that, I would say that most of them were nothing special. Some of them were obviously just coming in to earn a paycheck, and that really is disappointing as a student. I've overheard several teachers sitting in the school library and complaining to each other about the administrators, or in some cases, problem students. At this point, I feel like I am still unprepared for college or a career, and the staff put a lot of pressure on students regarding their future plans, without offering any real guidance. I've also noticed a lack of discipline, especially among kids who are in general-level classes (I am mostly in honors courses and I can definitely see a difference) mainly because of a lack of action on the part of the administrators. All in all, if I had to do it again, I would probably have chosen to attend a different school.
As a senior, I'd have to say the school's alright. It was better years ago and honestly it's just gotten worse over time. There are some really great teachers who have made a huge impact on my life but then there are the majority, who did not better my education whatsoever. Most complain about the "higher ups" constantly and don't being their 100% effort. It's hard to learn when you know your teacher doesn't even want to be there... It's pretty sad actually. I don't regret the friends I've made, but I wish I got a better education. Even taking AP classes and honors all these years, I still feel like they did not prepare me for life or college. Everyone I've talked to about this feels the same way too. As a student who's gone through this himself, I suggest looking into sending your child to a different school. It might seem great at first, but once the months go on you'll realize your student will learn more elsewhere...
The school isn't accepting of Hispanics or blacks. Daughter was miserable so I took her out and put her in platt.
I am about to be a sophomore in LHHS, and so far it's pretty ok. I didn't really like how last year went not because of the classes, but because of the students there. I am pretty shy and bad at making friends, and some of the students there are really mean and foolish while others can be really friendly. I've made a few friends and acquaintances, and I hope to make more. I do alright academically. I did a bit better than I did while I was in middle school, and I really liked the teachers I had last year. One thing that I am happy about is that the school has a Latin course that I'm taking right now and I feel proud of myself for it. I had to give this 3 stars because of the mean students and my isolation and the ok classes the school has.
I went to this School for my freshman year. And I loved it! I wish I could go back, but we moved:( It's a very diverse group of people at this school, very open and friendly. Students receive a lot of freedom, (which can be a good or bad thing depending on the student) Overall I liked almost all of my teachers, except one. Overall, it's a very unusual high school, on Halloween EVERYONE dressed up and The Vo-ag department had a 'vo-ag' week, there were animals everywhere! which made school a lot more interesting. lol My only complaint is that receiving help for special needs students is a bit of a process and takes way too long (If you weren't using services at your last school). But, when I was finally recorded as needing Special Ed services, I found it to be very helpful. My assisted study hall teacher was very friendly and non-judgmental.
As a former student who graduated from Lyman Hall last year and must say it is a very good place to receive a high school education. Of course some of the teachers weren't necessarily the best or brought their best effort everyday but nearly 95% of the faculty and staff at Lyman Hall are very knowledgeable and enjoy working with students for them to achieve their academic and personal best. Thanks to LH I am now at a great University, where I am doing very well and I am very happy none of that would have been possible with out LH, so I will always be thankful for what LH taught in the classroom and about Life through a multitude of extracurricular activities... I would recommend this school!
I am a Freshman at LHHS and I am in the Vo-Ag program. I love it! It is a terrific school and now we have a new Vo-Ag building to use, it is simply wonderful! :)
The school has an excellent History, English,and language department. The elective courses are amazing but the science department is beyond horrible and the math department is lacking. Discipline is also lacking mostly because the teachers don't report trouble makers in the class. To avoid a distracting class honors and A.P classes are the way to go. The higher level classes are filled with the kids who want to learn and are likely to motivate those round them to learn. Lyman Hall is the kind of school that doesn't build you future for you. The student is given the tools and he or she must find out for themselves how to use them.
i go to lyman hall, the teachers are very talented at what they do but the school could use a fix
My daughter is a Junior at Lyman Hall and loves it. She is on the High Honor Roll year after year and had the privilege of being selected to attend a five week summer program at Choate on a scholarship. If I have any issue's with a teacher, I email or call and get a response right away. They same is with the guidance councilors. They have put much money into the school by adding a whole new wing and I hear in the up coming year, will be doing more. When I went to the VoAg Fair, I was very impressed to see the involvement of all the students. My daughter was out of District and had to apply for it. She was so happy with it, she convinced her sister to apply, and she will be starting next year.
My daughter is a senior at LHHS in the Vo-Ag program. Vo-Ag has given her countless opportunities to prepare herself well for college. She went to LHHS with a learning disability and is now making high honors. I have to give her credit for being conscientious enough to follow through on her work, but I can't discount the involvement of the staff who have aided her efforts to compensate for her problems and even rise above them! I can't say enough good things about LHHS, from the caring staff to the extra-cirricular activities that have been available for fun and learning. I just want to be sure that LHHS gets a fair shake. Let's face it - many kids are only at school because they have to go. It's too bad that some kids don't even end up learning that you don't deserve to get back more than you put in!
Guidance is unhelpful and the extracurriculars were not good. There was barely any parental involvement and the safety and discipline was obviosly out of control. I wouldnt recommend this school to anybody. I am sorry I sent my child there.
I graduated this year from Lyman Hall. I came to LHHS in the beginning of my junior year. This was the biggest mistake of my life. The teachers are cocky and assume that since the 'discussed' a subject that you should have an in-depth knowledge of the matter. They hardly ever are available to stay after and tutor and they bully just as bad as the students. The students only care about standing around gossiping. The only positvie thing i have to say about this school is the food service program. Without it, I would have transfered out as soon as I could. And I truly believe I gave this school a chance. I was active in many activities but was still unhappy.
I am currently a junior at LHHS and I'd liek to say its a wonderful school. People are fueled more by disgust than happiness; therefore, it is only reasonable to have more negative reviews than positive. Just because a few kids have have bad experiences (probably due to their own issues) does NOT make the school bad. I certaintly don't enjoy waking up early and trudging into school, but in all honesty, Lyman Hall is not a bad place to be. Of course there is going to be some sub-par teachers, but for the most part, the school is overflowing with both excelling programs and intelligent, dedicated teachers. The cosmetics and glory of Lyman Hall are anything but desirable, but the purpose of school is to educate, and one will receive a fine education with a welcoming student body and professional staff at Lyman Hall.
I loved Lyman Hall. Maybe if you guys had stuck it out for a few more years instead of throwing in the towel, you would of seen what a great school it is. I have graduated from there, and am currently a freshman at a great college. I felt prepared coming out of their. Their AP program is great, and the English department is amazing. They taught me how to write! There is no drug problem that I could see, and the school has so much spirit. It definitely cares about academics!
I graduated from Lyman Hall 2 years ago, and as a person who enrolled in the school for all four years, i can honestly say that it is a good school. On the contrary to what most have said, the vo-ag program is incredibly in-depth, and in fact, you learn more there than in any other class. All the teachers are there for many hours after school and are always available for extra help. The administrators are also very helpful. For thoes of you who complain about the incompetancy of a school or program should really attend for more than 1/2 a semester before writing a poor review.
Lyman Hall is a horrible school. My daughter went there for freshman year and begged to be transferred over the Winter Break. I told her to 'stick it out' because she might learn to like it. This was a big mistake. She came home miserable from school because she was so unhappy. The school overall was a big diappointment, especially the VoAg program. There is nothing that she learned in the VoAg program that she couldnt learn by reading a book. The teachers were never willing to stay after and help her and the guidance councelors were unhelpful. The students have no respect for the teachers and the principal and assistant principals never take things seriously. Lyman Hall had countless bomb scares last year and my daughter was scared to go to school. If you care about the well being of your child, Lyman Hall is not the place for them.
I am currently a Sophmore, but not at Lyman Hall. I transferred after Freshman year. Lyman Hall was very disappointing. The VoAg program was very disappointing as well as the clubs/extracurriculars. The classes were all very weak at best. The students have absolutely no priveleges. I believe that when a school gives their students priveleges the students are much happier, making grades and the school overall improve. The school needs to be a little more careful with the budget also. Last year they had a budget cut 2 months after school started. Lyman Hall has a serious drug problem and I didnt want to become caught up in that so I left. Lyman Hall Has horrible teachers that spend no extra time with the students if they have a problem. I would highly recommend a different school if you want the best school for you or your child.
I am currently a freshman at Lyman Hall and I must say that I am extremely disappointed with the school. The Science, Math, VoAg, & English Depts. are all very weak at best. The school has a strong Social Studies dept. as well as the World Language Dept. The Principal, Asst. Principal, and The Guidance Dept. are very disappointing. They have a good music dept. and good sports teams but I feel that academics are the most important part of school and any parent that wants their child to have the best education possible I would highly reccommend a different high school.
I have 3 teens at Lyman Hall. I would like to see the town of Wallingford offer more options for children with social issues. Not every child can fit into the public school system and be successful. I do think that the teachers and administrators do what they can to improve the system but we need something better for the children who are not able to cope with the larger school environment. I don't mean that we should just ship them out of town. For too long, Wallingford's answer to children with special needs is to ship them automatically to out-of-town schools or facilities. This was a good idea and came from the best intentions, I'm sure. In the long run, I believe this has almost backfired with these children. Yes, some may need to be in an out-of-town facility, but wouldn't it be cheaper to have a place for these children, right in Wallingford? Some children and even some adults cannot handle a bigger school environment. Some need a smaller class setting with few distractions. If we truly want all of the children to be successful then we must consider this option. After all, it would be cheaper to provide this environment now to give these children a fighting chance in the workplace, than to give them half a chance and hope they do okay. Any child that is given the best possible environment to learn in will be a much more productive adult.

Olympics 2010, G4: Canada vs. Deutschland
The poor Germans. There's the potential for this to be a very bad day for the Fatherland, the worst since John Cleese did that goose-step in Fawlty Towers.
I was please with last nights ice dancing win by Virtue and Moir. I've lived with a woman for decades who has been cheering for Canadian figure skaters and have to say that the gold was deserved (didn't help Manley), obvious (the Americans ripped it and then the Canadians rocked it) and true. It was nice sitting next to my sweetheart and see her smile at an Olympic figure skating event after all those years.
Canada has thrown Martin Brodeur under the bus and Luongo is the new great hope. The king is dead, long live the queen.
