I would be more concerned about their use of grammar.
I would just laugh at their gaydar.
Once when i declined to go out with a guy, he called me a lesbian...... I knew I had made the right choice in not going out with him.
Not really. I know who I am in that regard, what others say will not change that..
nah i'll ignore it
No, I'm gayer than a unicorn.
lol! I've performed at gay events where I'm sure people assumed I was gay. I've performed at Pagan festivals where I'm sure participants assumed I was a Pagan. One of my bands was hired to play at the Green Party convention.

None of that changes who I am. I don't care what people might think.
Never.... I'm pretty GAY all the time!!
I would say, "I've been happier, but thanks for caring ."

I met to say, "I've been happier, but thanks for caring, sweetie."
No because I am.
Nope! My girlfriend calls me gay all the time. but then again so is she XP
Only if they meant it as an insult.

Otherwise I'd just tell them their gaydar is missing a few screws, lol
Yes. It is just like calling a gay person straight. Don't assume!
Not at all. (:
no,they always think that Im gay even Im straight ,,I dont know why,,,Im already immune =)
No. I'm bi but since 2 nasty divorces I have given up women
Truth in advertising is rarely offensive, so no.
I'd be offended knowing that they tried to insult me, and if they really thought I was I'd correct them, but I don't think the term gay is offensive.
I'm not overtly gay so I'd be surprised, but if they were hot, and gay, well it might be the start of something.
why should i be offended, the only thing i could do is punch that person.. or just ignore that person

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a parent of a soon to be 3rd grader at Skyline and have mixed feelings about this school. When I first moved my daughter to this school Ms. Owens was the principal and I thought she was an amazing principal with a lot of passion for her job. She was always walking around talking to the kids and parents. There was high expectations of the students which I liked. My daughters teacher, Ms. Dismount, was a wonderful teacher. Anyways this last year the principal and some of the teachers switched schools and I feel the school has suffered from it. I'm hoping things get better and more organized so I don't have to switch schools again. I'm sick of finding out how much "free time" my daughter has because she finishes her work so quickly. This tells me the work should be harder and they need to help the students that are advanced just as much as the ones who are behind. My daughter shouldn't be bored and doodling in a notebook.
Every member of this staff have opened and embraced as many children as they can. Every staff member I met knew who my child was without having to see him. they are caring and open hearted even to tougher children. Becky Owens the principal is absolutely amazing as are all of the teachers. we moved but transfered back into district just so he could continue to go to skyline.
The teachers at this school have great care for their students. Their always open for discussion before and after school for students needing any additional help. The school has a well developed musical program that includes both orchestra and band. The only negative feedback I have on this school is the lack of extracurricular activities and lack of a foreign language program.

California is facing the prospect of adding 1.4 million people1 to its Medi-Cal rolls because of the expanded eligibility for the Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act. Children, individuals, and families will automatically be placed into a Medi-Cal HMO health plan category when they apply for health insurance through Covered California and their income is below certain federal poverty level guidelines.
No tax credits if Medi-Cal eligible
Once a person is deemed eligible for Medi-Cal, they are not eligible for premium assistance. If the individual or family wants discounted or no cost health insurance they must accept Medi-Cal. They always have the option of purchasing a private health plan through Covered California at full market price.
California Department of Managed Health Care Model Notice for insurers
Free or low-cost health insurance is available through Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal is California's health care program for people with low incomes. You can get Medi-Cal if:
Your income is low; and
Your eligibility is based on your income. It is not based on how much money you have saved or if you own your own home. You do not have to be on public assistance to qualify for Medi-Cal. You can apply for Medi-Cal anytime.
You are a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or lawfully present in the U.S.
Will college students flood into Medi-Cal?
We can be fairly certain that the big push to enroll college students into new ACA health plans will result in a large portion of the students channeled into Medi-Cal plans. It is estimated that are 480,000 young adults age 19-29 that will be eligible for Medi-Cal2. If we assume a full-time student is able to work 20 hours per week, that monthly wage still puts them below the 138% of the federal poverty line ($15,865) and automatic Medi-Cal.
20 hours x $10.50 = $210.00 per week x 4 weeks = $840.00 x 12 months = $10,080.00 per year
It may be an allusion that young invincibles are necessary to make the ACA a success when so many will not be enrolled in private health insurance but state subsidized Medicaid programs. Nonetheless, Covered California and state universities will be making a concerted effort to get college students to sign up for the new health plans.
Medi-Cal is turning into big money maker
Of course, Medi-Cal is administered on the county level and many of the health plans are run by private companies. Many insurance companies see the expanded Medi-Cal enrollment program as a real money maker (see- Aetna finds profit opportunity in Medicaid under ACA and Wellpoint to acquire Medicaid administrator). Even if the monthly reimbursement might not be equal to market rate premiums, the government usually pays promptly relieving the company of chasing down people who don't pay their monthly premiums in the individual market. The big fat icing on the cake is that young college kids aren't sick and don't get sick. So relative to the entire Medicaid population, insurance companies will make money from the young adult Medi-Cal members.
Medi-Cal has all the new ACA benefits
The good news is that all the Medi-Cal HMO plans will be equivalent to health plans through Covered California or outside the exchange. They will all include the 10 essential health benefits, preventive office visits at no charge, contraceptives and low or no copayments for most services. The downside is that the members will have to designate a primary care physician and only use the network of providers associated with the health plan.
A really tight provider network
Many of the networks will not be as large as health plans offered through Covered California carriers. Medi-Cal providers receive lower reimbursements for services than those negotiated by private health insurance companies. The reduced payment schedule, which is under pressure to be cut even more, has led many physicians to scale back the number of Medi-Cal members they see or exit the program as a provider all together. Consequently, wait times for office visits and services may grow longer as more low income California residents are funneled into Medi-Cal health plans.
Each county administers the Medi-Cal health plans through their Health and Human Services Department. The HMO plans bid to offer their health plans to the various counties. Some counties will have multiple plan to choose from while other counties will only have one plan

NATAL, Brazil - Greece promised goals that didn't come. Japan pressed for a victory that eluded it yet again.
The ultimate result of what has turned out to be a rarity at this World Cup — a 0-0 draw — is that Colombia is guaranteed to move on to the knockout rounds and Greece and Japan are still clinging to life in Group C.
Reduced to 10 men after captain Costas Katsouranis was sent off in the 38th minute with his second booking, Greece held on for a critical result in the group by returning to the rock-solid defence that Colombia had blistered for three goals in an opening loss.
"My players were brilliant," said Greece coach Fernando Santos. "They worked hard after the red card. Without the red card we probably would have won the game."
Both teams inserted new strikers in search of goals and a first victory, but ultimately the main objective was survival and both achieved that with one match left in group play. Japan would have been eliminated with a loss.
Once Katsouranis was sent off after a rough challenge on Makoto Hasebe, Greece withdrew into a defensive setup and held firm. Even short-handed, Greece was better organized against Japan and avoided any critical mistakes.
Japan defender Atsuto Uchida said he could sense Greece building a wall around the goal as soon as Katsouranis was sent off.
"I had a bad feeling about it. It happens a lot in soccer, when a team goes down to 10, they know exactly what they need to do. And that also happens to be exactly Greece's way to fighting — to fight by defending," Uchida said.
Japan pressed forward after halftime and had several chances to score.
The best came in the 68th minute when Shinji Kagawa played a long pass over the top to Uchida, who sent it back across the middle to Yoshito Okubo, who blasted the volley over the net.
Greece goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis also was forced to make a diving save in injury time to preserve the draw and the point for Greece.
Greece came in determined to turn around its dismal scoring history in the World Cup — 18 goals conceded against just two scored — inserting Kostas Mitroglou up front. Greek players had even promised goals against Japan.
But Mitroglou's best effort was an early volley that spun off his foot and he didn't even make it to halftime.
After taking an elbow in the side in the 30th minute, Mitroglou collapsed to the ground. He got up and walked off under his own power but soon determined he couldn't continue and was taken off for Theofanis Gekas in the 35th minute.
Things got worse for Greece just moments later when Katsouranis was sent off. Greece retreated into its half of the field for most of the second half. Japan had 68 per cent of ball possession.
Katsouranis will be suspended for Greece's final group match against Ivory Coast.
"It was a terrible start, losing a man," Greece defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos said. "But we have a point and we have hope ... if things go well, let us get four points with a win in the next game — and if God decides that we are eliminated because of the other result, so be it."
Japan, which had been beaten up in a physical matchup with Ivory Coast in a 2-1 opening loss, once again had to deal with a bigger, stronger and much taller opponent.
Coach Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni dropped Kagawa from the starting lineup in surprise move, putting veteran striker Okubo up front with Europe-based star Keisuke Honda.
Okubo had one of Japan's best chances to score in the first half but sent his header over the crossbar in the 33rd minute
Zaccheroni was frustrated Japan didn't use its speed to exploit the spaces left by Greece being short a player. A win over Colombia won't guarantee Japans moves on to the next round. If Ivory Coast beats Greece, Japan will go home.
"We played too slowly," Zaccheroni said. "This is not a positive result. We absolutely needed to win."
Japan: Japan: Eiji Kawashima, Atsuto Uchida, Keisuke Honda, Yuto Nagamoto, Shinji Okazaki, Yoshito Okubo, Yasuyuki Konno, Hotaru Yamaguchi, Makoto Hasebe (Yasuhito Endo, 46), Yuya Osako (Shinji Kagawa, 57) and Maya Yoshida.
Greece: Orestis Karnezis; Yiannis Maniatis , Kostas Manolas; Georgios Samaras, Panagiotis Kone (Dimitrios Salpingidis, 81), Kostas Mitroglou (Theofanis Gekas, 35), Vasilis Torosidis, Yiannis Fetfatzidis (Georgios Karagounis, 41), Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Jose Holebas and Costas Katsouranis.

Today's news:
The comic will be updating irregularly on Tuesdays. (For now, "irregularly" means rarely.)
It has been way too long since the last update.
Fact: My life has changed a lot. As a parent, I have a lot less time and very different priorities than I had before - the webcomic is way down on the list of things I want to do with my life right now, and way down on the list of things I want to do if I find some time for myself.
Fact: I don't enjoy drawing. I'm not good at it, I don't enjoy it. Whatever art I can manage is barely enough to carry the story, but I dread drawing it because I'm never happy with the result, and I feel like I should do better, and I can't. It would take a lot of effort and hard work to get better at drawing, but I don't want to put in that effort at this point in my life, because it takes time that I don't have, and it kinda requires that I would enjoy doing it, which I don't.
Fact: I don't want to leave you hanging. I started this because I had a story I wanted to tell, and I know there are still many of you that have been reading this story and want to read it to its conclusion. I do want to finish it. I don't know when, or how I will manage, but I will keep trying.
(Note: The provider that hosted the forum has disappeared without a trace. While I have backups of the forum, I don't currently have the resources to set it up again somewhere else. The RSS feed also is currently broken, and I don't know when I'll get around to fixing it. In the meantime, by far the best way that I know of to keep track of updates is Piperka, check it out!)

CHICAGO | Ignoring a potential legal challenge, the Cook County Board on Wednesday approved an ordinance requiring people with children to store their firearms more securely.
The measure, which passed 11-3, with three other county commissioners absent, requires people with children living in their homes to have their firearms in a separate place from its ammunition, and for trigger locks to be on the firearms at all times.
Children are defined in the ordinance as people younger than 21.
Repeat offenders could be fined as much as $2,000.
Commissioner Jesus Garcia, D-Chicago, said he has heard of too many instances of young children finding their parents' firearms and hurting themselves accidentally.
The measure, which came the same day the Chicago City Council voted 46-0 to approve a ban on so-called assault weapons and tougher fines for shootings near schools, came under immediate criticism.
The County Board also approved its own assault weapons ban, calling for fines of up to $10,000 for repeat offenders, and up to six months in jail. That ban applies to all Cook County municipalities that do not have stricter ordinances on their books.
"We must do what we can to stem the tide of gun violence and keep weapons with high levels of destructive capability out of circulation," County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said.
National Rifle Association legislative liaison Todd Vandermyde said he is convinced the County Board went too far with its restrictions since state laws do not go that far. He said his group will successfully sue Cook County just as it has sued Chicago city government in recent years to challenge firearms restrictions.
"Three times, the (Illinois) Supreme Court has remanded this issue back; I don't think (the ordinances) comply with the courts," Vandermyde said. "Chicago has paid our group more than $1.5 million in legal fees. Does the county want to do the same?"
Some county commissioners — even those who wound up voting for the measure — expressed some concern.
"I'm concerned we're going to follow in the footsteps of the city, which has paid more than $1 million in legal fees," Commissioner John Fritchey, D-Chicago, said.
Commissioner Patricia Joan Murphy, D-Crestwood, questioned how the new rules could be enforced.
"It seems like all of these incidents are going to be found out about after the fact," she said.
Marjorie Fujara, a pediatrician at Cook County's Stroger Hospital who also is head of the Moms Demand Action group, said she thinks tougher regulations are needed to keep kids away from firearms. She said children as young as 3 are physically capable of pulling a trigger.
"These kinds of laws are inconvenient, but so are seat belt laws, and no one argues against them," she said.
Commissioner Stanley Moore, D-Chicago, whose district includes 10th Ward neighborhoods such as the East Side and Hegewisch, supported the resolution, although he said he'd like to see further study of the issue.
"We need to look at this more to make sure the ordinance is good," he said.

We hate to throw a wet blanket on the election campaign, but we've just about had enough with some of the earnest handwringing by some the candidates.
We've heard a lot of chatter recently over the upcoming June 3 election.
It's great that the voters of Mammoth have eight candidates for Town Council.
It's not so great that hardly any of them know what they're talking about.
In their first public forum of the campaign season this past week, many of the candidates offered solid vision-type of answers to tough questions that were offered by the Chamber of Commerce and the moderator, Brent Truax.
Mostly, though, the candidates came up short on detailed explanations as to how these visions are to be put in place.
It is not entirely their fault.
In our editorial published in the June 27, 2013, issue, we highlighted our list of priorities for the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
We're betting Mammoth Mountain Ski Area employees learned a lot this week.
It's the same lesson a lot of people in Washington D.C. learned this year with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act.
That is, when you're going to throw a good deal someone's way, and it's with an online transaction, you'd better add plenty of muscle to the back end if you want to avoid a Noah Moment.
Floods, whether in fact or in technology, aren't any fun, even if everything turns out well in the end.
The campaign season is officially underway, with 17 candidates lining up for contested seats, both at the town and county levels.
Main Street in Mammoth is a mess and it always has been.
The political season is wide open now, in both Bridgeport and Mammoth Lakes, but we're not sensing much excitement about it.
It is common knowledge Mono County has a tourism-based economy.
Although Mammoth Lakes contributes the most money to the county's coffers, the rest of Mono County also houses unique tourism gems it needs to keep as shiny as possible to attract visitors.
While the county itself has strong recreation-based economic elements, there are nuanced differences that currently help to define each region—each region offering slightly different appeals.
In Bridgeport, we have Bodie and the Twin Lakes area.
It's been over a week now, and The Shutdown has had a widespread negative effect across the country.
The first U.S. government shutdown in 17 years closed major landmarks and halted some services, throwing as many as 800,000 federal employees out of work.
To make matters worse, a potential default looms on the horizon, yet both Democrats and Republicans continue to talk past each other.

other candidates for the reduction of vehicle fuel consumption, such as light-duty diesel or hybrid vehicles.
Many vehicle and power train technologies that improve fuel consumption are currently in or entering production or are in advanced stages of development in European or Asian markets where high consumer fuel prices have made commercialization of the technologies cost-effective. Depending on the intended vehicle use or current state of energy-loss reduction, the application of incremental technologies will produce varying levels of improvement in fuel consumption. Data made available to the committee from automobile manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, and other published studies also suggest a very wide range in estimated incremental cost. As noted above in this Summary, estimates based on teardown cost analysis, currently being utilized by the EPA in its analysis of standards for regulating light-duty-vehicle greenhouse gas emissions, should be expanded for developing cost impact analyses. The committee notes, however, that cost estimates are always more uncertain than estimates of fuel consumption.
FSS modeling that is based on empirically derived power train and vehicle performance and on fuel consumption data maps offers what the committee believes is the best available method to fully account for system energy losses and to analyze potential improvements in fuel consumption achievable by technologies as they are introduced into the market. Analyses conducted for the committee show that the effects of interactions between differing types of technologies for reducing energy loss can and often do vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle.
Recommendation: The committee proposes a method whereby FSS analyses are used on class-characterizing vehicles, so that synergies and effectiveness in implementing multiple fuel economy technologies can be evaluated with what should be greater accuracy. This proposed method would determine a characteristic vehicle that would be defined as a reasonable average representative of a class of vehicles. This representative vehicle, whether real or theoretical, would undergo sufficient FSS, combined with experimentally determined and vehicle-class-specific system mapping, to allow a reasonable understanding of the contributory effects of the technologies applied to reduce vehicle energy losses. Data developed under the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) Benchmarking Consortium should be considered as a source for such analysis and potentially expanded. Under the USCAR program, actual production vehicles are subjected to a battery of vehicle, engine, and transmission tests in sufficient detail to understand how each candidate technology is applied and how they contribute to the overall performance and fuel consumption of light-duty vehicles. Combining the results of such testing with FSS modeling, and thereby making all simulation variables and subsystem maps transparent to all interested parties, would allow the best opportunity to define a technical baseline against which potential improvements could be analyzed more accurately and openly than is the case with the current methods employed.
The steps in the recommended process would be as follows:
Develop a set of baseline vehicle classes from which a characteristic vehicle can be chosen to represent each class. The vehicle may be either real or theoretical and will possess the average attributes of that class as determined by sales-weighted averages.
Identify technologies with a potential to reduce fuel consumption.
Determine the applicability of each technology to the various vehicle classes.
Estimate each technology's preliminary impact on fuel consumption and cost.
Determine the optimum implementation sequence (technology pathway) based on cost-effectiveness and engineering considerations.
Document the cost-effectiveness and engineering judgment assumptions used in step 5 and make this information part of a widely accessible database.
Utilize modeling software (FSS) to progress through each technology pathway for each vehicle class to obtain the final incremental effects of adding each technology.
If such a process were adopted as part of a regulatory rulemaking procedure, it could be completed on 3-year cycles to allow regulatory agencies sufficient lead time to integrate the results into future proposed and enacted rules.
A significant number of approaches are currently available to reduce the fuel consumption of light-duty vehicles, ranging from relatively minor changes to lubricants and tires to large changes in propulsion systems and vehicle platforms. Technologies such as all-electric propulsion systems have also demonstrated the potential to reduce fuel consumption, although further development is required to determine the degree of improvement, cost-effectiveness, and durability. The development and deployment of vehicles that consume less fuel will be influenced not only by technological factors but also by economic and policy factors whose examination is beyond the scope of this study. Future NRC committees will be responsible for periodic assessments of the cost and benefits of technologies that reduce vehicle fuel consumption, including how such technologies might be used to meet new fuel economy standards.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children have been attending this school since Pre-k and this school has fell apart. The front desk staff is very rude and unorganized as well as the teachers staff.
My son as attended Blythe academy for the fist time this yea , my experience has been a negative one, for two weeks now the school has made a big deal To all the kid abut field day, a day of fundraising exercise and fun! My so has been very existed an looking forward to it all week. The day of the run as all the kids line up with excitement to begin the the principal and nears abruptly jerk my son out of line and tell us that my son is not current on all of his shots and needs to leave immediately ,with out warning or letting us know there was a problem during the 3 months my Son has been attending not on question about his shots but all the sudden they have an epiphany In the middle of the fun day! So my crying son who is completely up to date with ALL of his shots had to leave!!! The ignorant people at Blythe lost his paper work and all they had to do is ask us to bring prof AGIN! Or call his doctor to see they had made a mistake, so not only are the staff an principal inefficient at there job but also ignorant and rued with no concern for their children!!!!!!! Needless to say this will be his last day at Blythe and I would NOT recommend this school to anyone!!!!!!
We have been extremely pleased with Blythe Academy of Languages. where our children participate in the Spanish Immersion program. Blythe was recently selected as the 2012 International Spanish Academy Elementary School of the Year by the Spanish Embassy in Washington, DC in a nationwide competition. A tremendous and well deserved honor. It is truly amazing to see the students learning in a foreign language. Not only do they learn in a foreign language, but they speak it as well. The academics at Blythe are very rigorous and the quality of the teachers and staff are unparalleled - we are very fortunate to have such a school in Greenville!
Our school, Blythe Academy, is a creative, diverse, and rigorous learning environment. All three of my children attend Blythe, and the greatest strength is the amazing teachers. Each of my children has been able to excel in their strongest interests and has had support and encouragement in their weaknesses. Their teachers have been approachable in person and by email an phone. Love of reading is a huge emphasis in the classroom and in homework. Teachers us hands-on activities with manipulatives and classroom movement to reinforce concepts. I have had teachers use music, yoga, bubbles, cartoons, Legos and dance to teach through play. The principal is a strong leader. She is present in most classes daily to support the teachers. She makes sure the kids are safe. As a parent, I have had access to her easily through email and in person. She knows my kids by name. The excellent school rating and Palmetto Gold award speak for themselves. Legislators and community activists visit our school to see an example of how a partial immersion school in a downtown neighborhood can be so successful. Middle school teachers tell us how well- prepared our graduates are.
I have had one child go through the entire program at Blythe and 2 others that are currently in it and have consistently been impressed with the school's model for partial immersion, the quality of the teachers, communication with parents, and administrative leadership. Over the years that we have attended, the school has strengthened it's community and parental involvement, improved academic standing, and excelled in providing a safe, secure, stimulating and inspiring environment for children to learn. Blythe provides an excellent option for public school choice, as it provides a high quality program in a unique learning environment.
Blythe Academy is a wonderful partial immersion language school. This year (2012-13) Blythe received an Excellent Rating Overall on the Annual State Report Card. An Excellent Overall on "Closing the Gap" and an overall Grade of "A". What is incredible about this score is that 80% of the children at Blythe are taught Math, Science and Health in another language (either French or Spanish) and take these standardized tests in English. So not only are they able to do well on the tests but are learning the content in a different language. I have been an involved parent at the school for over 10 years and travel over 30 minutes one way to send my kids to school here. I am grateful to have the opportunity for my children to attend Blythe. Blythe has an incredible group of teachers that represent over 20 countries. The Principal and her staff provide strong leadership and are focused on Academic Achievement for all students. The PTA and SIC offer a great deal of support to the school with many opportunities for parental and community involvement within the school. Most importantly, the children love coming to Blythe and are getting a great education! What more can you ask for?
The children are not bilingual when they leave the school. I have had one go all of the way through (K-5 - 5th grade) and she knows the basics of Spanish. The principal is terrible and has no idea of what the program should be. The test scores are mediocre. The Spanish teachers don't know how to teach, they just know Spanish. I am definitely not impressed.
For those comments that Blythe immersion is available only to an "elite" few, I strongly disagree. My daughter as well as her friend were both accepted in the immersion program and neither one of us knows anyone at that school. If you have an older sibling, then yes, you are accepted before other students, but that is all magnet schools. Acceptance is based on how well your child scores on her recommendations, parent letter and interview. My daughter has had a wonderful K5 year, with great teachers and students.
The fifth grade teachers have really prepared my grandchild for middle school. The challenge program has been amazing for our grandchild. Every teacher she has had since K-5 has built on the previous experiences and I'm very thankful as a grandparent raising a grandchild.
My daughter has been in the Spanish Immersion program at Blythe since K5. Overall I am very satisfied with Blythe. The principal was new when we began so we have no one to compare her to. But I think she is really pulling the staff together to provide a good education for our kids. I have been happy with most of my daughter's teachers, but you will find good and average teachers from year to year in any school. Regardless of my opinion of their teaching abilities, all of her teachers have been very caring and attentive whenever I've brought concerns. All of the staff has been very caring and concerned about the safety of the children. The PTO is very involved and while it sometimes seems like a country club atmosphere, if you take time to get involved you will find it a welcoming environment.
To have my child graduate from elementary school fluent in Spanish is a gift. Blythe is amazing in that the teachers cover the required curriculum and manage to teach our children a second language at the same time, not skipping a beat. I feel that my child will be ahead of others within the state and across state lines upon completion of elemenary school and that is a great advantage. Also, the school is welcoming and has many volunteer opportunities. Blythe is a magnet school which means that many of the parents picked this particular school for their students. If it were not working, the choice would be gone. The fact that it is growing stronger and a more popular choice only adds to the excellence of this program.
Blythe is a wonderful, diverse school that provides an excellent environment for my children (who are both in the Spanish Immersion Program, K-5 and 4th grade) to grow and learn. The teachers are excellent and our principal provides solid leadership which focuses on quality academics in a safe and secure learning environment. We have an extremely dedicated and involved PTA at the school. I am consistently amazed at how my children are able to learn in both languages so effortlessly. It is a wonderful program!
Not impressed with Blythe. Office staff is less than stellar. Teachers are great, but school is falling apart from poor leadership.
I have 1 child in 3rd grade and another child in kindergarten at Blythe and we love it. They are both in the Spanish immersion program and we have seen nothing but excellent results from Blythe. It is very challenging and keeps my children on their toes. We cannot say enough good things about Blythe. It is a great foundation for their education.
Blythe Academy has been a wonderful experience for my children. I have a child in 1st grade French Immersion and a child in 4th grade French Immersion. I have been very pleased with their teachers and the academics in the classrooms. Along with that they are learning the French language. Also my daughter is in the challenge program that is offered in grades 3rd - 5th which has broadened her even more. Now we are now having the pleasure of starting the flute in our home, our talented music teacher gives more of her time to our students by offering band at our school. I grew up living in different areas and I believe learning any language at a young age will help a child in life. Our teachers, students and parents make this a great school!
Blythe Acdamey provides strong academic instruction as well as enrichment in foreign languages. The teachers are amazing and parent volunteers are very supportive.
Blythe is a wonderful school. The French K5 teacher is the best. All the children love her and learn so much. The children in my childs class are a great mix. Some are zoned to the school and others are able to join the program. The kids range from all walks of life.
Blythe is a good school, IF your child is a very visual learner, and is well ahead for their grade. It is NOT, however, a good school for any child who is struggling or simply 'average'. This school caters to the 'country club' set, and the kids who can keep their test scores up. The principal can be very hateful and rude if you question her judgement. There is LOTS of emphasis on PTA fundraisers and selling things. Overall, I'd say that if your child is average, or strugging, or you're not very well off, stay away from Blythe. It's all about who you know, how much you can contribute, and what you wear there.
When I went to Blythe, the teachers were really hands-on about learning. I went to Blythe in K-5 through 5th grade. I did the immersion program where I learned math, science, and health in spanish. I'm in 7th grade and I'm very fluent in spanish. The school that I go to is good because it focuses on international studies,so all that spanish really paid off!!!!
When comparing Blythe to other elementary schools in this area, there is no question as to which school comes out ahead. My daughter did not get into immersion in kindergarten but did for first grade. We are very pleased with her progress so far this year. I agree with the other reviews that the selection process is not completely fair. I do not understand the reviews about more emphasis needed for the French program. I was extremely impressed by the French immersion, but I do not feel that French is as useful in this country as Spanish. Therefore, the program should put more emphasis and money on its Spanish Immersion.

Montana Winter Streamer Fishing
Jason Roed of Belgrade, Montana, holds this nice brown trout caught recently near Dillon, MT. Jason is wearing almost everything Simms makes: Waderwick™ Crew Top, RiverTek™ Heavyweight Zip Top, WINDSTOPPER® Softshell Hoody, Guide Pants, G3 Guide waders, and Freestone Boots. Why does he choose Simms? "I would rather stay at home than fish without the protection of Simms gear throughout the winter in Montana." I guess we can forgive him for leaving his Simms hat at home.

Moore's Law
(n.) The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. In subsequent years, the pace slowed down a bit, but data density has doubled approximately every 18 months, and this is the current definition of Moore's Law, which Moore himself has blessed. Most experts, including Moore himself, expect Moore's Law to hold for at least another two decades.

Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (October 12, 2007)
In this month's Complex, Alicia Keys talks about her role in last year's Smokin' Aces, revealing that the gay story line between her character, assassin Georgia Sykes, and partner-in-crime Sharice Watters (Taraji P. Henson), was somewhat de-gayed over the course of the production. She also revealed that she initially rejected the role, until her agent convinced her to reconsider it.
Here's what she told Complex:
AK: I got the script, I read 30 pages, and I threw it in the trash.
C: Really? Why?
AK: I was like, "There's like every stereotype ever in there. And what's this gay s—, too? So maybe two weeks later, my agent called me and said, "Read it all the way through, you'll be feeling it." So I dug it out and I read it. And the more I read, the more that I got it. I was like, "Wow, there's nothing people will expect from me less than this." And that's what I wanted when it came to film. I don't want to be the singing, piano-playing "girl role." I want to be something that's not who I am.
C: Did you have any reservations or concerns that playing a gay character was going to spawn rumors?
AK: Well, my character wasn't the gay character, my partner was. But there was kind of a —
C: Tension?
AK: There was originally a whole scene where I confronted her about it, and said, "I feel like you're kind of pushing up on me, what's going on?" They left that out; they wanted it to be very ambiguous, which is cool. I figured that people would probably run with it, and there was a little misconstruing about it, but at the end of the day, it wasn't a big deal.
So … her character isn't gay, but leaving it ambiguous is cool, except some people misconstrued what was going on? And what exactly does she mean by "gay s—"? Note to Alicia: Saying things like "what's this gay s—" is really what spawns rumors — and not the kind you want, either.

As South Sudan celebrates the one year anniversary of its independence, the new nation and its citizenry are in the midst of a critical legal and political process: the drafting of a permanent constitution. Delays in this process risk undermining its credibility among South Sudan's civil society, opposition political parties, and the international community.
Over 2,000 activists have been detained since protests began in Khartoum on June 16, the activist group Girifna reported, prompting mounting international criticism and spurring more solidarity from Sudanese opposition groups. Read More »
