Invalid byte sequence utf-8 error in rails 2.3 and ruby 1.9?

This seems to be an issue with the MySQL adapter I've been using - the old ruby-mysql gem. I've upgraded to mysql2 and that seemed to have solved the issue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
