Bright colors, nice typography and plenty of whitespace are the primary design features that stand out here. I really like the simple, stepped sticky note idea. These also feature a nice page curl rollover on hover.

The page design really shows off the Pixelmator interface well and features plenty of really stellar icon design examples. As you scroll down near the bottom the layout is broken up in modules to clearly delineate features.

Posted in Web Design → DesignThe "coming soon" page for an icon design competition. This wonderfully simple design features a color scheme straight from the beach and and excellent little boat icon. I also like the rounded corners and simple download button.

Overall a pretty great design.

Posted in Web Design → DesignI have seen enough messy desk designs to last a lifetime but usually they are an overhead view. This refreshing take on the idea utilizes a straight on view and shows tons of attention to detail. The artwork is really beautiful on the home page and continues throughout the various pages.
Posted in Web Design → DesignThis site is wonderfully dark with neat lighting effects that really add to the dramatic feeling. This aesthetic really showcases the artwork well in conjunction with a nice 3D effect. The typography is really nice and original as well and utilizes cufon to bring in custom fonts.
Posted in Web Design → DesignThe online portfolio of designer James Childers. This site features an strongly textured background and muted content and a perfect color scheme. All of this lends to the faded look that the designer is going for. As you hover over the images, their opacity slowly transitions to 100%.

You don't understand man. I'm disappointing myself with what I do. I have no confidence that I'm doing anything right, and I don't have anyone I trust enough to convince me that I'm right. So I'm just wrong. I know life has no right answers, but it has plenty of wrong ones.

i dont really feel like scrolling up and checking through the storm of purple lines
Well I'm feeling like I'm too late to the party. That no one could ever want me around, and that feeling is becoming so strong that I'm actually feeling sick. Every time I think about it, I want to throw up. I didn't sleep well tonight because of what I've come to realize. I'm not a guy who'll ever encounter mutual love. That's how it is.

It has been demonstrated that neurogenesis can sometimes occur in the adult vertebrate brain, a finding that led to controversy in 1999.[27] However, more recent studies of the age of human neurons suggest that this process occurs only for a minority of cells, and the overwhelming majority of neurons comprising the neocortex were formed before birth and persist without replacement.

I'm 19 years old, and my beard looks like someone glued pubes to my face. Also, I've got completely no hair on my chest, and my body looks like some took 5 average-looking people and took all the worst body parts and glued them together c:
Fat legs, thin arms, crooked back, insane face, retarded body hair growth.

again crazier/ worse people have found someone. I have faith in you. If you don't have faith in yourself. have faith in me, the guy who has faith in you.
#511 to #510
Kairyuka (02/08/2013) [-]
I won't say that I don't have faith in myself, because I kinda think I'm subconsciously still hanging on to a little shred of hope, but I've chosen to not care. It doesn't matter at all. I can always just imagine that I'm curling up with one of my fictional love interests, that is something. It doesn't matter that no one likes me. I can live without people.
#477 to #188

true that. I just sit there and sometimes listen. Now I'm out looking for a new anime. I just finished Sword Art Online, amazing btw.
#463 to #462
facetiousrunner (02/06/2013) [-]
No I have yet to, my only concern is I don't want to get sucked into another series that has like a hundred episodes. Fairy Tail damn near ruined my last semester of college. So many episodes watched in such a short time
#465 to #464
facetiousrunner (02/06/2013) [-]
Well I have some to try out now. My list right now is naruto, just ******* end god, Fairy Tail, and Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo. All on going which is alright I guess. Which do you more highly recommend?
#468 to #467
Kairyuka (02/06/2013) [-]
Hm. Well I really liked Shijou Saikyo no Deshi Kenichi, but the anime was sadly sub-par to the manga. It's really sad to see such a good martial arts-series with such bad animation, when things with no movement whatsoever has great animation. It really annoys me.
#473 to #472
facetiousrunner (02/06/2013) [-]
hmmm maybe i got it saved in a word document so i don't forget, cause i will forget especially with a non English esque title

i dunno 16 year olds should not be driving, i was such a bad driver
#402 to #401
Kairyuka (02/01/2013) [-]
It's about 21 that it's supposed to be fully developed though. And in any case, alcohol before you're 21 is insane enough as it is. I just get so disappointed, it's like everyone is doing it. Drinking alcohol, smoking weed, having sex with random people. I don't want that, and I don't want this life I'm leading right now. There doesn't seem to be a middle way.
#403 to #402
facetiousrunner (02/01/2013) [-]
take the robert frost path, the road less taken. And i was saying in some cases the brain does continue developing for a while. 21 isnt concrete

Kairyuka (01/27/2013) [-]
I always feel I'm doing right until it all breaks down. I couldn't even be in a relationship because I'd know it wouldn't last. I couldn't hold anyone, because no one would want me to. I couldn't love anyone because no one could ever share that privilege with me. I'll just stand here and look at the people who can live.
#355 to #354

Haha, sadly, throwing my issues onto other people is what I'm best at. Like this discussion I'm having with you. Or the people I chat with on Skype. I just end up bothering them with my sadness, so the best choice is to just lie here alone, crying without annoying anyone.

It doesn't really help me that others are in the same position as me. That only reinforces my belief that I couldn't share love with anyone to begin with. Despite all my romantic ideals, I've got no experience, so all those ideals are just dreams. Egoistic illusions from some fake world.

Existing is part of the battle, but not something I started. And now I've lost everyone else, more or less, so I have to try from the beginning. That makes it difficult to be with anyone else, because I have to constantly run to even be around others. I wish I could relax more with it.

You know what I mean. I am me, and I long for things that the me that is me could never have. So these contradicting feelings are just stuck inside me. It's a neverending debate on whether to change myself to be acceptable, or stay the same and never reach what I want.

Ah, but it's not just about gender roles, it's a general rule. I can't be like this. Who I am and what I long for, automatically exclude each other. I need to be confident and secure if I ever want to find one to share my life with.

My problem is, that to change myself, I need to get out and meet new people. For that I need some excuse. And I'm going out there. Sadly, right now I'm stuck, it's all in the future. Not too far away, but during the wait, I reserve the right to feel like I'm left alone here.

"Fresh water all the time"
Constant fresh water and never need to worry about refilling the bowl. We bought the Aqua Buddy and it feel apart after 3 days. Clean once a week or it will grow algae. We have 3 one in the front yard for the cats one in the backyard for the dogs and one in the pen for when the dogs need to hide from bad weather.
"Fresh water all the time"
I used to use a large le bistro waterer outside, but the water would start to go stale. I switched to the automatic water and love it. Just attach the water hose, turn the flow on lightly and you have non-stop fresh water. I do dump my bowl out at the end of the day and wipe it with my hand to clean out the day's dirt. It fills up automatically and your dog had fresh water. It is really great with all the hot weather.

Hundreds flock to Workington motor show
Last updated at 20:15, Thursday, 26 April 2012
Hundreds of people visited Workington's first Urban Motor Show.
The event, organised by cnevents, part of CN Group which owns the Times & Star, saw West Cumbrian motor dealers bring the newest models to Workington town centre.
There was also entertainment and activities for all the family, but the stars of Saturday's show were the cars.
They were provided by some of the most trusted names in the business – Border Cars, Dobies Peugeot and Vauxhall, both of Lillyhall, Stan Palmer Honda, of Cockermouth, and B and H Motors, of Whitehaven.
Stephen McCullough, business development director for CN Group, said: "It was an incredible success.
"The town centre was absolutely heaving and local businesses probably benefited as a result of the huge interest people showed in the cars and the extra visitors.
"The car dealers who were involved reported that a lot of people were booking test drives for Sunday, so people were looking to buy."
The event was inspired partly by the success of a similar show in Whitehaven.
Mr McCullough added: "Bringing the cars to the people is a reversal of what has been done in the past. It seems to work well as there were a lot of healthy inquiries made about the cars being showcased."
Dean Adams, 32, sales executive for the Vauxhall dealership, said: "The atmosphere was buzzing all day.
"We really hope it comes back to Workington next year because it was a great day for us and for the town."
Ron Batty, dealer principal for B and H Motors, said: "We took a variety of cars down including the new Ibiza and spoke to quite a few people."

Photos: Toyota's sporty FT-86 II concept
Article Summary
Perhaps fearing that the brand is losing touch with "passionate drivers", Toyota is developing a new "affordable" sports car to fill the gap it left when it dropped the Supra and MR2 from its lineup. The FT-86 II concept, built on a Subaru platform under a partnership agreement, is a rear wheel drive coupe with smart styling that's clearly aimed at younger drivers. Toyota showed off the car in Melbourne, ahead of this weekend's Australian International Motor Show - and took the opportunity to give the press an advance look at the Prius C concept, Prius V, 2012 Hilux and all-new Yaris as well. Pics inside.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
Although the Rohingyas and their behavior are highly connected to Islam, we get constant 'Bending of the truth', denials , and total breath-taking intolerance from these people.
Too often, when they cannot face facts, they stop commenting.
Too often, they are breath-takingly intolerant of facts when stated by some one else, and which are NOT favourable to their Culture.
Too many denials, too many times they ask for proof, when they can easily get it from Google.
And far too much intolerance.
The other aspects cover two areas.
(1) the aspect truth. The fact that c onstantly ask for truth, when they can het it from google, and the fact that they use emotive words, when they are unnecessary, and the fact that they never balance such things as a riot against the deliberate Genocides which are happening at this very moment... all those things take away their credibility. It also makes us believe that they intend to never change their behavior and their culture.
With this type of behavior, No-one would feel like helping them.
Why should the lady help them now, so that they can rebel again in the future???
These people are not worth helping. And I hope that the revered lady stays focused in this area.
She does NOT want future trouble for her people.
I support her.
Rohingyas people were never accepted in Burma. They were never part of any tribes that made up Burma.They were part of Arabic shipwrecked people landed in Arakan. Under the British colonial days they were encouraged by British to migrate as cheap labourers for the British India Company. Burma is a Buddhist country and has accepted other religions as most of the neighboring states. Since the Rohingyas leaders has formed a jihad group during 1948 and 1950's and has join forces with other jihad group from negihbouring countries. This could be the contributing factor for the Burmese to take action and the trigger might be the rapping of a local Buddhist person.
I also like to point out without dwelling too much on religion belief, if you are a muslim in Middle East country and if you commit a rape. The punishment is usually death.
This is a rural remote part of Burma and in these cases mob rules applies.
I also like to point out it is unfair for some of the comment made on this colum on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to act because she has won the noble peace. What these people forget is she is only one of the member in the government and the military general are still in charge of the military.
Rohingyas sudden persecution in Myanmar makes a mockery of the high moral ground practiced by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Dont understand why she is so passionate about rule of law when Humans are killed and their houses burned and they are forced to the open ocean to embrace sea death ? She was a victim of the same rule of law and now she is talking about 'rule of law'. It is a shame on her part to even mention rule of law when in reality she doesnt know what she means by rule of law, in a country still run by the rogue generals. Does she mean throwing a million or so Human Souls out in the open ocean or forcing them across the border to an unwelcome Bangladesh.
Myanmar and Aung San Suu Kyi must wake up to the realities of silent and at times violent ethnic cleansing going on in Rakhine State and see to it that Humans are treated like Humans.
Aung San Suu Kyi might gain some political capital in her own country by saying what she is saying about the Rohingya problem nowadays but in the long run history and her own countrymen might judge her poorly. The world is watching Aung San Suu Kyi and it expects her to show her Noble Characters which earned her the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately Aung San Suu Kyi seems to be forgetting that she no longer belongs to Myanmar rather she belongs to the World and the Nobel Peace Prize winning exclusive 'Noble International club' which restricts ones ability to see things in national & personal perspective.
Unfortunately and truely I have to agree with Venky9999 where muslims are troubles are not far away, integration issues, tendance to dominate the others. I am also very concerned about our governments outside the muslims influcence zones who litteraly couch themselves to allow moshees to be built. I would suggest that for each moshee already operational a church is built. I guess currently the balance is not in favour of Christians. So why is this religion so contamited with fanatics. Christians had their crazy period in the past but fortunately Lüther and others took an helicopter view about religion. A religion which regualte every single habit of a person is not healthy.
I, so agree with you.
However, there are not enough people from the west commenting on these matters.
It means that Islam will get away with all it's negativity, and eventually the western people will be the slaves.
A lot of us would miss the liberalism that the west has brought about. Although that liberalism needs to more practical and more tempered.
This is exactly what the lady is trying to for her country - convert it from xenophobia to a tempered outgoing, liberal,country.
people like the rohingyas would destroy that dream
As the 'swisscitizen' you must be aware of the human cost the wars between Catholic and Protestants had in Switzerland? Both sides where not only Christians, they shared language and frequently family ties.
This is embarrassing.
BTW it is Luther (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther)
See what these moslems are doing in Thailand !
Unwanted / uninvited & unwelcome Taliban terrorists / ISI Imams !!
Moslem Bangladeshi Islamic jihadis / should be thrown out of Burma mercilessly !!
are u a human being???????
are u a human being???????
Brilliant article.
Will Aung san suu Kyi now step forward and speak. The Nobel peace prize must count for something.
Noticed that you are constantly confused. and very opinionated about other people.
It would seem that you make offers of refuge for these people, knowing that none of the Western world wants to know them, not even a pole away.
And then at the same time, I have not seen a single hand raised from the well off Islamic countries making any offers of help.
Once some empathy comes out of the land of the Crescent, we can talk about credibility and empathy.
Meanwhile, the lady has spoken - I don't believe that you have heard. I hope that you are not so intolerant that you want her to say that she will condone rapists and murderers.... in other words, that you are so intolerant that you want her to speak with your words only.
I do not think that you should be so judgemental that you would like her to behave like you.
Otherwise they are just Hippocrates.
It has become difficult for the Rohingyas. Semi-literate, and very poor, they have tried going to Bangladesh and drowned for it.
They are on the road to illegal migration. And all they have done is rape a couple of girls.
They should not be expected to burden of a few rapists. There should be countries willing to accept them. It may be very difficult for them now, and they have mad e it even more difficult by letting the Pakistani people have a few armed sleeping cells, But one mistake should not be the end of it. A richer country can afford to educated them and change them for the better.
And they would feel most at home in a country with a similar culture.
There must be at least one country out there, with a culture that accepts them, and that is also sympathetic to their plight?
Why can't Myanmar , within whose borders the Rohingyas live , take responsibility for these people. Should they be carted around like chattel from the land in which they were born. Myanmar should behave like a modern state and learn to integrate and accommodate them with its body polity . It is really sickening to suggest that it should be someone else's responsibility to have to look after these people. It really would be gracious , given the huge amount of support the world has given and continues to give Myanmar , if the government of Myanmar would deal with this problem instead of trying to stoke bigotry and promote ethnic cleansing. Some people might begin to believe that perhaps the Burmese people especially the Barma people are racist after all and are not willing to move towards tolerance as the rest of the world is.
The same question needs to be asked for a richer Bangladesh.
No offers from them, where a million more or less makes no difference, and some of show of empathy that a lot of the other neighbours seem to show.
At the same time - you demand from others that NONE of the other Islamic countries have offered.
A lot of us are asking for some show of sympathy from a country with the same culture - just to show us their Humanity.
Hypocritical? In every one else's book that comes from the same type of culture as the Rohingyas.Beware - you are accused of being a fork tongue.
femiin reply to don't worry be happyNov 6th, 17:34
Why can't Myanmar , within whose borders the Rohingyas live .
Oh god Femi-
Can't you see it?
They are doing the same thing that you are doing for the people of Darfur, or South Sudan.
Haven't seen your philosophy on those sites lately(or Ever)
There is a lot more very deliberate killing going on there,by a wanted criminal, then from the anger down here.
Should you not be a lot less hypocritical?
When superficial people like you realise that human beings , regardless of outward differences share a common humanity , that on the other hand we are somewhat all different , perhaps then we would appreciate each other more - the differences and the shared humanity. As human beings , we should be each others keepers and not attackers. Only the most shallow people driven by the most close minded bigotry can ever justify killing others. Again and again , to the credit of countries like Great Britain , you see those who have more noble principles willing to make huge sacrifices in defence of their persecuted fellow man. Clearly you still harbour those primitive nationalistic sentiments that have historically caused so much misery among mankind. Given the history of Myanmar in the past century and the effort and sacrifice now bearing fruit to defend the majority of people oppressed by successive benighted military regimes from such oppression , it is truly sad that there are still people like you who think that one group of people has any right under any conditions to oppress others simply because they are different from yourself. Frankly , you are no different from for example , the obnoxious and loathsome regimes of apartheid South Africa which justifiably earned the opprobrium of the rest of the civilised world while it still existed or from some of the leaders of criminal groups in former Yugoslavia. Evil would always try to justify itself , I remain unconvinced by your pitiable arguments.
It's unacceptable that people would be deported/tortured just because of their religion. we, jews, have had enough of this.
The army/president Thein Sein are responsible to enforce law, and I've never heard that Burmese law call for mass murder.
Now notice what ASSK - who I personally admire - has said about the issue (I heared her yesterday at BBC):
1. She doesn't get the information needed to really understand the situation. and so she refuses to misuse her moral authority without getting into the roots of the problem.
2. Called both sides to stop the mutual atrocities (**she could be more sensitive to the minority plight here).
3. Enforcing rule of (Burmese) law as long as it's consistent with international law.
ASSK is as guilty as her fellow Barma compatriots are. What use is the Nobel Prize for Peace if she will not use the moral authority that should come with the prize , and instead skirts the pressing issue with all manner of excuses.
It seem that your expectations of the peace prize only come from the people who do well, and no expectations from the bad people.
I would suggest to you that you lobby the Norwegians to take away the Peace prize from her.
I don't think that she cares as much as you seeem to.
Bu this bit is about the Rohingyas coming forth and helping sort out their mess. They have done Nothing as yet.
Real leaders should be able to think a few steps ahead of smarty commentators. What would you say If I tell you ASSK tries to win the Bamar vote in the 2015 election and then use not only her moral leadership but also her position as a president to help the poor Rohingyas. Let me tell you this - by scribbling comments the world doesn't become a more peaceful place but by people who are willing to get criticized like ASSK)if they believe the final goal is moral and just.
Let me tell you this - by scribbling comments the world doesn't become a more peaceful place but by people who are willing to get criticized like ASSK)if they believe the final goal is moral and just.
Sir - You think you are talking to a real human being.
I am only an animal - at least according to Dubai Sharia law, I am one.
I figure talking is better then keeping quite, and letting the untruths spread.
So far, I have had denials about the genocide in Bangladesh.
I have had apathy for the killings of South Sudan, and Darfur.
And I see denials. about Ethnic cleansing in Pakistan constantly.
And I would never want to be your exalted leader.
BUT I have seen a lot of Changes of views in the Islamic newspapers.
I figure that I am going to leave the world a better place then you will.
Sir I'm not sure I understand what you've tried to say. I'm not against anyone, what I'm trying to say is that I agree ASSK should be more sensitive to the Rohingya people. YET it's hard to me to believe that a moral person like ASSK is really against these poor Rohingya - it doesn't make sense. So what I'm basically saying is that maybe she knows something that we don't know ... maybe she has an operation plan that she cannot disclose right now. Why? because if you sir live in a democracy you may know that some of the greatest achievements of human/civil rights have been achived AFTER one is elected. maybe as a president she'll have the ability to change the Budhists minds and make them respect their non-Budhist neighbors.
all right KWMX - We keep on coming back to this..
Let us make a guess at what can happen.
Say the Burmese are naive, and docile people. They tolerate the constant and continuous rapes and killings, and let of the overwhelming petty crimes that the Rohingyas are skilled with.
Then they quitely wwatch these people expand till they become 10% of the population.
They will then demand Sharia laws, as they continue to expand.
Then one day, one of the sharia courts has a session in court from a Rohingya Muslim. And - just say- The lady is a witness against the Rohingya.
By Sharia law, The lady's witness observation is not taken. She is not even allowed into the Sharia Court. She is given the same witness value as the nearest street dog.
In fact, she will be sentenced to death, should she present herself in the Court.
A number of observations.
* She is not a muslim - her eye witness is not worth a dime.
* If she decided to embrace Islam - and she had witnessed a rape - she has no value. A rape requires 4 male witnesses. Have you ever heard of any rape anywhere in the world, where 4 male eyewitness come up against a rapist?
In other cases she has the same value as half a Muslim man.
At 10% do you think that they are allowed a Sharia court?
Well In some countries in Europe, where they are less hen 10%, they are already demanding Sharia courts.
Do you think that any female person, in her sane mind, would let herself be classified as a dog?
I don't think she has a hidden agenda - people like her are honest. They can a bleak future- an Islamic future.
I think you should leave her alone.

The Rohingyas need the help of the Chinese. Since the Chinese are building a gas/oil pipeline and a railroad from Kunming in Yunnan to Kyaukphru in Arakan where they will establish a naval base (string of pearls strategy), I propose that Arakan become a Chinese colony on the Bay of Bengal (or is it the Bay of Nan Zhang?). China is a very tolerant multicultural society that is very friendly to Muslim countries (they have oil that needs to be pumped to China, no?) and so the Rohingyas and the Rakhines will definitely prosper living in a Chinese protectorate just like the Uyghurs, no?
Besides the former junta generals and cronies like the octopus (thihathura tin aung myint oo), zawzaw, tayza etc. etc. stand to make a lot of money from Chinese bribes, not quite as rich as Jiabao Wen and his wife (she likes burmese jade you know!) but enough to make everyone happy!
Despite the sadness of this issue, one has to understand that from what we all see, the Myanmarese are not racist.
They are anti-Islamic culture. They do not like petty ctime, way out of proportion for this culture, they do not like regular kidnapping as can be usual with so many Islamic cultures, and they do not want the hate that they see in a relating culture called 'Pakistan'.
They reaction is not abnormal - similar reactions have happened in so many places around the world.
and from that point of view this must be taken as a normal human reaction.
And then Bangladeshs' excuse wears very thin. On the one hand they are aghast at the causal killing of illegals from Bangladesh into India, and on the other hand they declare them selves to be bristling ( and ignoring the fact that the India was much more compassionate when it was 'Bristling' with millions of Bangladeshi refugees 30 years ago.
The argument of being sympathetic to these petty, raping criminals is as thin as the European argument that they should be sympathetic to the 'Romany -Gypsy to the unwashed-culture' ..
( hundreds of thousands of whom were thrown out of Nothern Ireland only last year)
I quote from a comment below, a peson with some experience in Rahine.
His comment shows that one can not separate the Rohingyas from pakistani culture.:-
Martial Law was declared in 1948. During the uprising some of the Rohingya flew the Pakistani flag and ...attempted to separate the northern provinces from Burma
Now it has nothing to do with Pakistan or any other Muslim countries,at most,it is a political issue between Myanmar and Bangladesh.If Bangladesh also refuses the Rohingyas.The rest of issue is only that how to deal with the Rohingyas,relocation the third countries or become the next Gypsy?

That is none sense . If they feel Pakistani, then they should be moved to Pakistan.
In the '47 popular uprising against the Myanmarese Government, they raised the Pakistani flag several times.
Without a doubt - most of them feel Pakistani. They are an accident - They should have moved to Pakistan during the Partition.
Yes it does - If they feel loyal to Pakistan then they are Pakistani .
Plus Pakistan continues to supply them with guns, and does a lot of gun running off the coast of Bangladesh.
They also cultivated a lot of 'sleeping pockets' of militants , and provided them with large amounts of ammunition.
I am happy that the lady has seen all this murky business.
silent nightin reply to Bharat ppNov 3rd, 11:59
Now it has nothing to do with Pakistan or any other Muslim countries.
The standing question is - Why would you want these people to become illegal migrants into Bangladesh? or Europe or America, but not in any of the Islamic countries,
If they have ha an uprising using a Pakistani flag - then surely you would take their loyalty to Pakistan?
And so in your opinion should consequently now be massacred ?
In my opinion it should be tit for tat. Always. As they do in Israel, and where there is now some peace.
You disgust me utterly. An eye for an eye ... in the end we are all blinded. Is there no concept of grace in your thinking ? You really do disgust me - and I am not kidding. I find your comments utterly abhorrent , despicable and vile beyond endurance. No human being with even a scintilla of humanity can possibly express the thoughts you have , unless of course you are merely jesting.
[ The modern state of... ] Israel knows no peace , and she will never know peace , until she learns the lesson from bitter experience that violence only begets violence.
Thought you had disappeared.
I seem to see some amount of peace in Israel. More peace then I see in the UK, or America.
It is still a matter of opinion.
You are right - Violence begets violence - or you give way, and convert to Islam ( If you doubt me - check the news)
I remain yours truly, an animal in the eyes of Dubai Sharia, and you remain a half wit in Dubai( If you are a Christian)
I speak up for the really needy - and you speak up when to make yourself feel good.
Hope that you do not go quite, just because I do not agree with you.

You disgust me utterly. An eye for an eye .
You disgust me even more.
I may say an eye for an eye.. although, in hindu philosophy, it is the opposite - you forgive everything(unfortunately)
Unfortunately - that case was lost when the Muslims came in with an eye for an eye philosophy.
I ask you - would you allow the men around you to rape you?,
and then you would need four of those same men as witnesses to convict each one of them?
Ludicrous? Well that is required in a Dubai sharia court.
In Europe, with less then 10% of the population, they are now demanding Sharia courts and Sharia law.
Would you allow yourself to nurture such vipers?
I would not want any of my daughters to experience that.
And yet you seem to forgive these people for having a culture of raping, killing, and petty crimes.
and at the same time you are apathetic about the killings of millions by people from the same culture ( Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan)
You also feel that they should be forgiven for an uprising during which they showed fearce loyalty to Pakistan.
What will they have for a country, if they sympathise with the Taliban?
1. In my reply to may (2/11 @ 9.51) the second paragraph is the accidental repetition of may's comment and shouldn't be there.
2. An underlying problem with many new 'nations' after W.W. II was that (ignoring the lessons of Versailles) the world wanted to believe different ethnic/religious/whatever groups could live together harmoniously. I remember 'progressives' here in Australia believing quite sincerely the failure to achieve one harmonious nation in the subcontinent was Britain's tactic of divide and conquer. As a youngster it was clear this was an absurd belief, but intelligent adults (including my own family members) were blindly pushing it because it fitted their worldview. It was a beautiful worldview, but bore no resemblance to reality.
Human nature presents far greater obstacles to the utopian worlds of one kind or another about which our species tends to dream, and Burma is a clear, if cruel, confirmation of the admittedly unpalatable fact that differences have always been, and continue to be, a catalyst for behaviours we'd like to see go away --- but?
What an incredibly biased and shallow article.
Before one so enthusiastically embraces the storyline of the Rohingya, one should examine the complex situation in more depth rather than simply parroting other reports.
The Rohingya are far from innocent. Explain why Bangladesh refuses to allow them in the country, not even as refuges, and ordered the NGOs to stop providing assistance to the Rohingyas. That is rather telling, no? It's not simply because it is too taxing on Bangladesh's economy. Look a little further, dig a little deeper. Who is arming the Rohingya? What is the Arakan Rohingya National Organization? Has the Rohingya cause been hijacked by Islamists? What about the fake photos passed around online? What is the reputation of the muslim Rohingya in Saudi Arabia and how are they treated there? Is it not hypocritical that Mulsim nations bemoan the suffering of the Rohiynga in Burma, yet they themselves barely treat them better? In Mayalsia, the Rohyinga children were often not allowed to attend school and denied healthcare – they are not treated as refugees.
So many questions that failed to be addressed in this article. I beg you to investigate further before perpetuating the fabrication of Rohingya victimhood and spreading false propaganda. It is way too easy to point to the Burmese government, who's been the bad guy for such a long time, and blame them for the violence that is occurring in Rakhine. This story has another side.
Wake up
Utter rubbish !
Rubbish? Please tell me how the Rohingyas are treated in other muslim countries. And who is arming the poverty stricken Rohingyas? Please enlighten me. Present your disagreements with facts please.

'Rohingya' as Michael G notes was a designation concocted after 1950 in the wake of the Mujahid Uprising. There are isolated references in official Burmese documents to 'Rohingya' as early as 1954, but after 1970 the word was never used again by Burmese officialdom. The international 'Rohingya' lobby has been very successful in popularising the description, to the point that it has become toxic and even damaging to the Muslim community itself. Perhaps this was the intention - to induce a polarisation of the two communities and force a crisis.
No one doubts that Muslims have been resident in what is now Rakhine State for decades, indeed centuries, though when King Bodawpaya conquered Arakan in 1785, he took away to Amarapura every Muslim scribe, poet, scholar, courtier, priest and skilled worker at the Arakan Buddhist Court. Their descendants now live happily in Mandalay Division as Burmese citizens. Arakan became a wasteland, and when the British arrived in 1825 migrant workers flooded in from Bengal to work on the rice estates, merging with Muslims who had remained and marrying with Rakhine Buddhist women whose children were brought up as Muslims.
The present crisis is indeed a result of population and land pressures from the Muslim community, exacerbated by massive Bengali migration over the last 125 years. An investigation commission from Rangoon in 1939 could only recommend that the border with India (as it then was) should be properly policed, but before action could be taken the Japanese had invaded, the Muslims fled to Northern Arakan to seek British protection, while the Buddhists fled to Southern Arakan where Aung San's Burma Independence Army held sway with Japanese support - both communities killing as many of the other as they could in the process. Then you had 12 years of the Mujahids which lasted until 1961. Not to speak of Red Flag communists in the late 1940s who formed tactical alliances both with Rakhine Buddhist extremists as with Rakhine Muslims.
I wouldn't know the answer to these terrible problems, but I am quite sure that lecturing and hectoring the Myanmar Government will get us nowhere. What is it that so drives the West to interfere and intervene in matters on which they have so little knowledge and understanding?
Here is a memo I submitted to Economist a few days ago--FYI:
My first experience in the area of West Burma began in 2003 when I went there for WHO to administer TB tests. Coming from Thailand, it was graphic how decidedly poorer the people in W Burma were compared to Thailand.
One of the first things that I noticed among the Roihinga--children everywhere. This in itself is a root cause of the conflict because it is quite impossible to provide jobs fast enough for such a population increase and young men get angry when they are poor and idle. It also puts an impossible strain on natural resources such as fish populations. Population pressure is in fact the real underlying source of the problem.
The Rohingya immigrated from SW India, later called East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, for at least 150 years and this was made easy by lack of border enforcement by the British and later the Burmese. Originally called "East Indians," or "Bengalis", the name "Rohingya" was adopted about 1960 as a way of identifying themselves as an ethnic group rather than immigrants. At this point is is quite impossible to say who is a "resident" presumably meaning someone born in the area or an illegal alien. One might say the Rohingya were "invited" by lack of enforcement, but things never went well from the start.
The Rohingya looked like East Indians, dressed like East Indians, were Muslims, did not speak the same language and did not assimilate with the locals who were Buddhists. This failure to assimilate persists today and is a root cause of the problem, as it is in many places with Muslim people. They act like a state within a state.
In 1942 there was a Muslim uprising, followed by a lot of killing back and forth. In 1947 "Bengali-Muslims' Mujahid Insurgency" as it is called by the Burmese, started after the central government refused to grant a separate Muslim state in Rhankine Provence. Being better armed with WWII surplus, the Rohingya killed many Burmese and destroyed villages in the north of the Provence, near Bengal.
Martial Law was declared in 1948. During the uprising some of the Rohingya flew the Pakistani flag and attempted to separate the northern provinces from Burma. The matter finally came to a head when some British government officials were murdered and the Burma Rifles were sent in. They decimated the Rohingya in combat.
To add sauce, the current Rohingya (Mujahid) political party was founded by elders who supported Burma jihad and separation effort in 1947 which is hardly reassuring to the Burmese. So, the Burmese look upon the Rohingya as aggressive invaders, illegal aliens who refuse to accept Burmese culture. A 1984 law formally excluded the Rohingya as one of the country's 135 ethnicities, meaning most are denied basic civil rights and are not recognized as citizens.
The Royhingya seem to be the victim in this matter and clearly they are the ones currently persecuted. But a strong sympathetic case can be also be made for the residents of Rhankine Provence, who are poor and had to endure virtually unrestricted illegal immigration of hundreds of thousands, approaching a million even poorer people from East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and endure several uprisings and jihad. It might have gone better if the Rohingya had done more to act more like they were part of Burma.
Wow. This is a bit pathetic. When you gave somebody a Nobel, you are expecting a lot from her or him, especially after her victory tour around Europe and US. But the reality is that she is just a creation of western imagination and expectation and she has no power to do anything substantial to better people's lives over there.
If you lived in this area (Burma-Thailand0 you would understand what a huge mistake you have made in your comment. Aung San Suu Kyi is the equivalent of Nelson Mandala. In the 1990 election, her party won 59% of the national votes and 81% of the seats in Parliament. She was detained under house arrest before the elections and remained under house arrest for almost 15 of the 21 years until her most recent release] becoming one of the world's most prominent political prisoners.
Her husband, Michael Aris, had to flee Burma and lived in the UK, here his health deteriorated. The Burmese government would not grant him a visa, saying that they did not have the facilities to care for him and instead urged Aung San Suu Kyi to leave the country to visit him, a ploy to be rid of her, but she refused an so did not have the comfort of saying goodbye to him. She is a true warrior and I salute her.
The people who know about her life see her as a shining beacon, the very image of what a peace warrior should look like, just like Mandala. But she is not the fairy godmother and cannot make 100 years of anger and conflict go away with her magic wand.
Mr. Michael_G, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese politician in modern Myanmar. That place has nothing to do with a romantic Burma where a highly principled Lady stands up for all these things that make for a 'gee, I feel good about my principles' dinner conversation.
There is no mileage in Myanmar politics in supporting minorities, that's why she is silent. She wants to get elected as President next time round, right?
I have been visiting Myanmar twice a year since 1999. Trust me. There is no Burma.
I have been visiting Myanmar twice a year since 1999. Trust me. There is no Burma.
I think that they are trying very hard to form a 'Myanmar'. It is really a 'work in progress'
The opposite end of the spectrum is ' Scotland' or 'Calania' etc.
There is no mileage in supporting minorities - this is so true - But it dos not take away from her principled position.
In any support that she may ever give to such horror minorities as the Rogingyas , she would easily lose all sympathy from the military. That is a position that no-one like her can afford.
If you knew anything about South Africa, you would know that Aung San Suu Kyi is nothing like Nelson Mandela (or Nelson Mandala, whoever that is). Mandela stood up for minority rights, and did not give in to the hardliners among his ethnic brethren. I'm sorry, but Aung San Suu Kyi has shown herself to be just another politician.
Who is Aung San Suu Kyi?
Is she the Burmese lady who was awarded Nobel Prize for peace?
If she is the same person then she must be asked to return the medal for her failure to engage herself actively to bring back peace in the Rakhine Province of Burma where minority Rohingyas are being prosecuted,killed and driven away from their homes by burning down their houses.
The Nobel Prize for peace was given to a wrong woman who has apparently no leadership qualities and prefers to remain silent while ethnic cleansing goes on.
It is not possible for San Suu Kyi or anyone else to change animosities that have developed over the last 75-100 years, an ethnic hatred involving millions of people, several uprisings, an attempted revolution by the Royhninga and vast cultural differences. There is no fairy godmother. San Suu Kyi is revered because she was a beacon of hope all these years, one small woman locked up by a stupid, brutal dictatorship and you would be hard-pressed to find someone more worthy of being considered the Mother of her nation or deserving of her awards.
A pathetic as well as an unacceptable response.You may please read the article once again if you like.The article is not at all biased or one sided.It has described the present heart breaking plights of the people known as Rohingya.The undermentioned lines extracted from the article must receive your attention:
quote...the one person in Myanmar with genuine moral authority,Miss Suu Kyi,has confined herself to calling for respect for the rule of law.When the law is unjust and unfairly applied---as it long was against her---that is a betrayal of the high moral principles she has always espoused.....unquote.
Many non-Burmese,including me,have revered the lady during her confinement by the brutal military regime,but she no longer deserves such reverence.She has done nothing to stop the killings,destruction of properties and burning down of the places of worship belonging to the Rohingyas.By the by,do you know that a large number of Rakhaine people live in Bangladeshi coastal belts in peace and harmony and without animosities since very long time keeping their culture in tact?
The humanitarian crisis in a fledgling democracy and its implications for the neighborhood require a mature handling that the establishment so far has not exhibited. The "exaggeration" of the issue and the validity of the conflicting claims of the two parties notwithstanding, the failure of the Burmese state to respond (in whichever format) would possibly be the biggest failure of the whole episode. Myanmar, among all the states in the region, is better endowed with natural resources, is strategically placed and until not so long ago had the modern institutions required to govern a country. Historical relations with the Indian sub-continent (a legacy of the British rule- Myanmar until the 1930s was a part of British India) meant that certain elements of modern state formation were present. And to help bind the nation there was an incipient nationalism too which could be an emotional adhesive for a newly formed colonial state (1949 or 1950).
The problem is that Myanmar, like many such states and societies, could not integrate the minorities, most of whom are ethnic. Thus in peripheral regions we have the issue of the Karens, Kachins and of course the Rohingyas. What the establishment has to realise is that the foundations of a modern state (even democratic) cannot be laid on some cultural majoritarianism. Good governance and emotional integration has to go hand in hand. The govt should not only be representative, it should seen to be so and more importantly, the economic growth of the country (which should be a foregone conclusion, if the state stays stable- given Myanmar's location and resources) should be inclusive geographically so as to make all citizens stakeholders and interested parties in the growth of the state. The road ahead is long and tedious and needs maturity, sagacity, patience; luckily the euphoria and the popularity of Aung San Suu Kyi should help the state nurse the wounds in the peripheral areas. But some first aid and quick fix for the Rohingya is a must. The issue is urgent since it has a potential to become a muslim vs non-muslim issue as opposed to a local ethnic problem and there are many waiting to exploit this issue for their own vested interests.
When the west imposed economic sanctions to Burma to make the widow as their political lacky, what she did? If she has leadership talent, she should have opposed any such moves. About minority, she said she doesn't know whether they are Burmese or not. In my sane mind, they are obviously Burmese citizens and have the right as other Burmese. Or they should be independent from Burmese dictatorship.
The widow will bring more pains to Burmese!
When and where you saw or heard some one called Aung San Suu Kyi "the widow" around the world except you?
Who said Aung San Suu Kyi has a leadership talent? you or the west,or the Burmese or the history? it is unquestionable that she is a one of the most famous dissidents in the world and led a successful election which defeated the junta in the past.
Don't forget the basic fact,99% of the Myanmar's population are Mongolia race and Buddhists.Everybody know the result of democratic vote about Rohingyas' problem if a relevant vote is hold.
Aung San Suu Kyi never brings more pains to Burmese because the conflict with Rohingyas has a very long history,not only happen in yesterday or last month.In the name of democracy,Rohingyas can not get Burmese citizenships because the result of democratic vote will clearly tell everybody including Aung San Suu Kyi,the junta and the international community,most voters refuse to give their Burmese citizenship.The whole Mainland Southeast Asia has a Muslim phobia,not only Myanmar although many people know most Muslim are also good persons.
Free Sinkiang!
Me as well as the 150000 refugees have (probably) heard about the peace agreements. However, we all seem to have very little trust in the promises of the government, as the fighting in Kachin and Shan states continues despite the fact that U Thein Sein ordered the army to stand down in Kachin state. It is obvious to all ethnic minorities, that the Bamar will continue their politics of intolerance and cultural imperialism.
people of the nation should come across together and think positively for the better results.
You need two hands to clap.
The rohingyas have shown that they only clap with Muslims.

In Bucs' first chance to advance, Morton gets ball
Rookie Wacha tasked with helping Cardinals bring NLDS to even footing
First, the discussion was about 1992 and reaching the postseason again. Now, it's about 1979, the last time the Pirates won a series in October.
The 2013 Pirates are one win away from that elusive champagne shower, but their National League Central rivals, the Cardinals, certainly will have something to say about when -- or if -- that celebration some 34 years in the making will take place at PNC Park on Monday.
When the two teams hit the field at 3 p.m. ET on TBS, the Bucs will hand the ball to right-hander Charlie Morton in Game 4 of the NL Division Series, pitting him against Cards rookie Michael Wacha, whose last outing in the season's final week came an eyelash away from a no-hitter.
The Pirates lost in the NL Championship Series three straight years, from 1990-92, so it has been since the "We Are Family" club of '79 World Series fame that Pittsburgh has come out ahead in a postseason series. That opportunity awaits the Bucs on Monday before what is guaranteed to be a boisterous crowd at their home park.
"We're talking about playoff baseball," said Pirates second baseman and Pittsburgh native Neil Walker. "We want any chance to advance, no matter where it's at. Yeah, in front of hometown fans would be pretty special. But we're just trying to find a way to win one more game, anywhere."
The historical significance of clinching a berth in the NLCS isn't lost on Bucs manager Clint Hurdle, but he continues to steer the Pirates' ship with an eye on the battle at hand.
"You have to continue to earn your way here, especially late in the postseason -- not much is given to you," Hurdle said after Pittsburgh's dramatic 5-3 victory in Game 3. "We'll have an opportunity to go out at home and win a ballgame. Obviously if that happens, we'll be in a much better place moving forward."
In this case, history is on the Bucs' side. Teams that have taken a 2-1 lead into Game 4 of a Division Series have advanced to the League Championship Series round 35 times in 43 opportunities, 17 of 20 in the NLDS. Among the three teams that came back from a 2-1 deficit in the NLDS: the 2011 Cardinals, who bounced back against the Phillies, winning Game 4 at home before taking the series on the road. And the Cards, resilient all year, figure to bring all they have to the table Monday.
"It's a must-win [game] for us," said Carlos Beltran, who continued his postseason mastery Sunday. "Hopefully we can come here, take care of business, win and go play the last game at home."
Much like in Game 3 or any postseason meeting, the focus will be on the starters taking the mound, who figure to set the tone for the game. In the case of Morton, it will be a matter of putting his work against the Cardinals in the regular season behind him. The 29-year-old right-hander had two of his worst outings of the season against the Cards and wound up going 0-2 with a 7.90 ERA in three outings vs. St. Louis.
"There are things that I'm going to take from it and I'm going to learn from," said Morton, "but I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel because I had a couple of bad games against them."
As for Wacha, it will be a span of 12 days since his last start, but he sure has a gem to build from as he takes his first postseason assignment. An infield single by the Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman with two outs in the ninth is all that stood between the 22-year-old rookie and history.
Nearly pitching a no-hitter almost two weeks ago might or might not carry over to Monday's game, but it's a good place to start.
"There's always stuff you can work on, and so I think you just take the positives from the last game and just move forward from there," Wacha said.
For the Cardinals to move forward, Wacha and his teammates will need to bring be on top of their game Monday night. Otherwise, the champagne will be flowing in Pittsburgh for the first time since Willie Stargell and the boys made some history of their own.
Cardinals: Shortstop a spot to watch
Pete Kozma got his first start of the NLDS on Sunday, and it's safe to say he was in the center of the action -- uncorking a throwing error in the first inning that led to a pair of Pirates runs, then delivering a pair of hits and a walk to help the Cards get back into the game.
With right-hander Morton on the mound, the Cardinals could go back to left-handed hitting Daniel Descalso at shortstop. But he's hitless in the series, going 0-for-8 thus far. Descalso also hasn't faced Morton before, whereas Kozma is 2-for-6 against him.
One likely change in St. Louis' lineup is that young first baseman Matt Adams figures to step back into the cleanup role after batting sixth Sunday. He had a clutch hit in the ninth inning and is 4-for-11 with a double in the series.
• Beltran continued his climb up the postseason charts Sunday, passing Babe Ruth with his 16th postseason homer, putting him in sole possession of eighth place on the all-time list. He drove in three runs, giving him 20 in 16 career Division Series games.
Pirates: Shark Tank ready for more
The Bucs' vaunted bullpen wasn't perfect in Game 3, but it got the job done, ultimately. Now there's potentially another job at hand.
Mark Melancon gave up Beltran's game-tying homer but then claimed his first postseason win when the Pirates rallied in the bottom of the eighth, and Jason Grilli overcame Adams' single to close out the victory. Grilli could be in position to throw the final pitch of a clinching win Monday night.
"This is why I signed back here [in 2012]," he said. "I saw the potential of what this team was in the process of doing, the winning ways. I wanted to be with a winning team."
Said Melancon: "It'd be nice to put this series behind us."
• Andrew McCutchen reached base safely in all four of his plate appearances Sunday, going 2-for-2 with a pair of walks, and has gone 7-for-13 in the series.
Worth noting
• Marlon Byrd, who went 1,250 regular-season games before playing in the postseason, has five RBIs through four postseason games.
• Beltran's homer was the first long ball hit by the Cardinals in Pittsburgh this season after zero in 10 regular-season games.
• The Pirates are now 22-23 at home all-time during the postseason, counting all games at the four venues they've hosted October games.
• If there is a Game 5, it is currently scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday. It would move to 8 p.m. ET if the Dodgers-Braves series has concluded by then.

Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.
