I'm not sure I see a use case for having it return a boolean?  The  
name save() to me implies it worked or there's a problem.  I don't  
see a case where returning false is necessary.  If a particular save  
method is supposed to do something on a failure, shouldn't that save  
method extend the superclass' method and implemented that logic  
inside the model so it is portable and reusable?
