Myanmar Post Landmark Election 2015

Analysis & Opinion, Rohingya Vision
The much anticipated Myanmar's Election 2015 was held on November 8, 2015 after the decades long military dictatorship rule in the country. The National League for Democracy (NLD) led by the country's democratic icon and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Daw Aung San Suu Kyi had the super-majority victory in the polls. Now, the party will not need to make alliances with any other political parties and can independently form the government in a few months' time.
During 1990 Election as well, the then newly formed National League for Democracy (NLD) won by landslide victory. However, the former military junta didn't recognize the polls results and rather nullify them to later put the leader Daw Suu Kyi under house arrests in on-and-off terms until her release in late 2011.
Earlier, the military junta held election in 2010 according to the 2008 Constitution drafted by the military themselves in a way that they can play a powerful and unparalleled role in the country's politics for generations to come. As expected, the military's political wing, Union Development and Solidarity Party (USDP) led by the military-general-turned-civilian Thein Sein, won the majority votes by various dirty means as the main opposition party NLD was barred from the election.
This time, the 2015 election was touted by the most and over-hyped by the media to be the freest, fairest and most inclusive one. Certainly, the election was free and to an extent, it was fair. However, it was not inclusive and fair by 100%. Hence because a whole ethnic community, Rohingya, — recognized by UN to be the world's most persecuted people and considered by many Human Rights Watchdogs to be subjected to Genocide — was barred from participating in the election.
Rohingya Excluded from the Election
Unfortunately, the Rohingyas subjected to the state-sponsored violence since 2012 yet again became the victims of blatant discriminations and basic human rights abuses as the ruling military-backed-quasi-civilian government confiscated their rights to take part in the landmark election. The exclusion from the election was utterly absurd and racist as it was based on their racial original and religiously although the government tends to give other excuses.
The Rohingyas had the suffrage and the rights to be elected as the parliamentarian and ministerial candidates in all elections in the history of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Even during 2010 Elections, the Rohingyas took part and a few of them were elected as parliamentarians in both state-level and union-level representing Maungdaw and Buthidaung Township constituencies. Now, their rights to participate in the election have been confiscated.
While other Myanmar citizens and the people celebrated this (SHAM) Election leading to a faux democracy, the disfranchised Rohingyas mourned!

Now, their rights to participate in the election have been confiscated.
Like usual, the Media have failed to give due attentions to the sorry plight of the helpless people as they have been busy to hype over the election using attractive qualifiers like 'Landmark, Historic, Freest, Fairest and etc." While other Myanmar citizens and the people celebrated this (SHAM) Election leading to a faux democracy, the disfranchised Rohingyas mourned!
If we look at the other angles of the Election keeping the plight of the Rohingyas aside, although we cannot call this Election 'A SHAM' as the election was transparent and free; and everyone had the right to take part in the election apart from the Rohingyas, it was an election that will lead the country to a faux democratic state. The election will not lead the country to a genuinely democratic one for the following reasons.
NLD's Victory and Future Prospect
The National League for Democracy won around 80% of the ELECTED parliamentary seats in both upper house (house of nationalities) and lower house (house of representatives) combined. Winning 80% of the seats never actually means 80% of total parliamentary seats. This is actually 80% of the 75% Parliamentary Seats as 25% are reserved for the military in both legislative houses. So, in real, NLD has just won 60% of the 100% total seats in both houses.
This is enough for NLD to select two presidential candidates out three, while other will be selected by the chief of army staffs Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing according 2008 constitution. Of the three Presidential Candidates, the one that gets the highest numbers of votes from the electoral colleges will become the President and other two candidates will become Vice-Presidents respectively.
It's certain that, going by the electoral win, a presidential candidate from NLD will get the highest votes and become the President. However, Daw Suu Kyi, the leader of NLD, is constitutionally barred from becoming the President. Article 59 (f) 2008 Constitution widely believed to have coined by the former junta keeping Ms. Suu Kyi in mind prohibits from Presidency anyone whose spouse and children are foreigners or nationalities of another country. Since her husbands and children are British nationals, there is no option for her to become the President.
Therefore, she has recently said to Channel News Asia Singapore that she would be holding a position above the President and instructs him/her (the president to be elected by her party) what to do and what not to do. However, constitutionally and legally, she can't be above the President either as the Preceding Article of the above-mentioned Charter states ""The President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar takes precedence over all other persons throughout the Republic of the Union of Myanmar." Therefore, we have to wait and see who she will choose from her party for the presidential post for the president must be a puppet president that is subservient and have no qualms to follow her orders.
Her party hasn't chosen anyone from the presidential post yet. So, let's wait the party makes the declaration.
On the other hand, she has failed to voice her concerns on the grave crimes being committed by the government against the country's isolated and helpless minority, the Rohingya. She has not really said anything on the violence against the Rohingyas despite being Nobel Peace Prize Winner. For her, perhaps, it was the fear of losing the votes of the Buddhist majority that prevented from raising her voice over the human rights violations.
But her party has won the election and can form a government. Moreover, she has also said during her electoral campaign that she doesn't believe in persecution and revenge. Now, we have to see what she can do to stop the persecution against the Rohingyas.
Military- Still Most Powerful Entity
After the landslide win by the NLD, the word leaders, politicians worldwide, human rights workers and the international community at large have been pouring the party leaders and members with 'Congratulations and Plaudits.' The media, without real and deep understanding of Myanmar's political landscape, have going gaga over the NLD's electoral victory. Hence, the people all over the world are made to believe Myanmar as if it has become a full-fledged democratic country. The world citizens are not simply informed of Myanmar's complicated and complex political structures.
Therefore, before going to make any assumptions on Myanmar's changing political paradigm, it is necessary to understand what role the decades-ruling Military Institution directly or indirectly play in the politics and decision making process of the nation. What roles do they still play in the background of the smokescreen of the so-called political reformation and democratic transition?
First and foremost, the military still reserve the rights and power in their hands to control three most crucial ministries: Home Ministry, Defence Ministry and the Ministry of Border Affairs. According to Article 20 (b) of 2008 Constitution, it is the Chief of Staffs, Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, who will directly appoint these powerful ministers, not by the elected President.
With all the armed forces such as the military, the police, the Security Forces, the Border Guard Police (BGP), Special Branch Police, Intelligence and many being under the direct control of Snr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, everyone including President himself will be subjected to listen to his order. The mentioned armed forces can arrest, detain and investigate anyone anytime. The 2008 constitution also provides a framework that can be considered as a separate regime for the armed forces, giving them special privileges and representation in state institutions as well as widespread immunities.
When the military feel threatened of losing its power, vital role in the politics and supreme hold on the national affairs, they can conspire to trigger 2012 style violence, create unrest the country and force to declare a state of emergencies for all armed forces are kept under the direct commands of the military supremoes.
Secondly, according to 2008 Constitution, a major provision that military enjoy among many is the much controversial articles, 109 (b), 141 (b) and 436 that ensures the reins of power firmly remain in the hands of the military. The articles , 109 (b), 141 (b), provide the military 25% of the seats in each of the upper and lower houses of the union parliament and 33% of the seats in the state/regional parliaments and article 436 gives the military a power to veto passing any unwanted legislation.
The 2008 Constitution also gives the power to the military to appoint/select one of the three presidential candidates from the military background, where the candidate will, depending on the votes, will either become the president or a vice president.
On the other hand, Chapter XI of the Constitution allows the new National Defence and Security Council (NDSC) can impose a martial law and abolish parliaments allowing the military to lead a coup de 'tat and rule the country directly during the time of state de-stability and emergency. The NDSC body is composed of the President, two vice-presidents, Chief of the Commander of the armed forces and his Deputy, two speakers of the Union Parliaments, Defence Minister, Home Minister, Foreign Minister and Minister of Border Affairs. Although the NDSC body can impose martial law only when the President (who is most likely to be elected from NLD) declares a state of Emergency, the majority members who are the military or the military appointed members will have the final say over the civilian members in the body including the president.
Therefore, when the military feel threatened of losing its power and supreme hold on the national affairs, they can conspire to trigger 2012-style violence, create unrest the country and force to declare a state of emergencies for all armed forces are kept under the direct commands of the military supremoes. Then, the military can apply it (the clauses in Chapter XI of the Constitution) as the legal channel to lead a coup de'tat, overthrow the president and reclaim its power to rule the country.
Never say the military won't do this again! Read the Myanmar history!
Furthermore, as the military hegemony is constitutionally protected as a separate and autonomous entity from the government, the civilian government or the elected President can never order the Chief of Commander of the Armed Forces let alone dismissing him from his post if unwanted. The President cannot scrutinize the armed forces activities, their business interests; audit and contract the huge military budget.
Therefore, the amendments of the 2008 Constitution that provides those important privileges have become vital and necessary. Nonetheless, for any constitutional amendments must receive more than 75% of the vote in parliament and the military has Veto Power over Proposed Constitutional Changes. Don't forget that the 25% Seats in parliaments are mandated for the military according to article Articles 109 (b) and 141 (b). And they will NOT welcome any amendments that may likely dilute their supremacy and rule in the country! There is Article 436, the ultimate veto power!
Besides, the military have learnt and matured enough how to share power and accommodate the administrative roles with a civilian government through working with the ex-General Thein Sein led (pseudo) civilian government. On other hand, the NLD Government is quite new in the field and will find it hard to even utilize the little role or power they will have.
With an effective use of the media platform, the soon-to-be NLD Government can educate the people of Myanmar to get rid of racial hatred, with humane values and humanity and how to live in peace and harmony with people of different colors, races and faiths.

On other hand, the NLD Government is quite new in the field and will find it hard to even utilize the little role or power they will have.
Thus, one can say the former military junta had done their math and homework before crafting the 2008 Constitution on how to share power and political roles with a civilian government while maintaining their supremacy and playing central role in national affairs in the background.
Parallel Governments
Here, after 2015 Election, the biggest problem in Myanmar would likely be a case of two parallel or power-sharing governments with polar-apart different political ideologies in one government itself. One is the NLD led civilian government and another is the military led autonomous government with the absolute control over all the armed forces that can ever legally exist in the country. If one says the former government is backed by the West, then the latter is backed by China and Russia.
China has heavily invested in the country's natural resources and banking sector and the country itself is a part of China's crucial 'String of Pearls' Strategy for global dominance and future economical sustainability and growth. With the rise of the NLD (considered a proxy party of the West) into power, the US and the EU may have a greater role to play in the country's affairs and may harm China's business and strategic interest. Hence, China is never expected to take it lightly.
Consequently, it may lead to proxy wars between China and the West which will result into series of bloody violence in the country. And it will ultimately lead to decisional conflicts and more frictions between the military and the civilian government which could even widen their political stands.
Therefore, it may even narrow down any possible chances of coming together of these two parallel governments for the common national interests. Well, none can predict future exactly. So, wait and see.
What NLD Government Can Do?
The landslide victory by in the November Election may seem perfect and beautiful on paper as it can form a civilian government. But practically and realistically, it doesn't! The NLD government will really be shaky as it will have to share major power with the military in the government.
With no power to order the country's armed forces, monitor the military activities and audit their budget, the NLD Government seems really helpless and in sorry state.
In the last few decades, the military expenditures have gone over more than 40% of National GDP, while only 5%-10% have been spent for Education and Health Sector; and other 10% have gone to development, infrastructures and others. Where this huge other remaining 40% of national GDP has gone/been spent, nobody knows! The NLD Government won't know it either!
However, given that the NLD Government effectively utilizes the little power and authority going to have, it can really be beneficial to the long term national interests and serve its welfares. The biggest challenges the country currently facing are the widespread violence, endemic racial-religious hatred, xenophobia and ethnic conflicts stemming from the power plays of the different political groups with vested interest throughout the history, Poverty, Lack of Employment, Education and Health etc.
With an effective use of the media platform, the soon-to-be NLD Government can educate the people of Myanmar to get rid of racial hatred, with humane values and humanity and how to live in peace and harmony with people of different colors, races and faiths. The government should create more employments as an immediate need for the country to prevent Brain-Draining and leaving labour force out of the country. Creating employments may consequently reduce poverty to an extent as well.
It should optimize the budgets allocated for education and health sector. Besides, upgrading the current educational standard is a must.
With a people educated with plurality, democratic and humane values; a people that have jobs to remain busy with; and a people that have enough food to eat, the nation will really be peaceful and prosperous. And such people can't easily be manipulated for political interests, triggered to resort to violence against any other ethnic group in the name of national sovereignty and protection of race and religion.
Such well-informed, well-guided and educated people won't kill other people, burn down their homes and shops, rape their women and commit crimes against humanity again as it has been the case against the Rohingya and other Muslim groups in Myanmar.
Ultimately, the burden lies on the shoulder of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the much revered democratic icon, human rights defender and leader of NLD. She has been criticised for not speaking up against the grave human rights violations against Rohingyas. But let's what she can do when she comes to power.
To sum up, the Rohingya, the much hated, friendless and helpless community in Myanmar, became the victim of yet another human right violation as the government banned them from participating in the national election hailed as the freest and landmark. Therefore, the Rohingya's hope in Daw Suu Kyi and her party to deliver anything for them is really bleak. However, the NLD that claims to walk on the lines of human rights and due to international pressures can certainly be expected to have a softer approach than the military backed Thein Sein Government towards them.
Keeping this Rohingya issue aside, as it has been known, with the rise of the Suu Kyi's NLD led government with sharply different political ideologies, the frontline of the military hegemony and their cronies in the country can be assumed to be broken. Nevertheless, the NLD government will neither have the major say in the country affairs nor have the right to take major decision to change the destiny of the country.
Due to the lack of full authority and decision making power in the shared-government, if Daw Suu Kyi fails to fulfil people's hope in her and deliver promises given to the people during the electoral campaign, she will ultimately be blamed for the failures. The general Burmese people on the ground do not understand the complex political mechanism of the country. For them, once they have voted for Ms. Suu Kyi, she will be the ultimate power holder. And the military can well-take advantage of any such possible situations to their favor and turn the people against her and her party.
Meanwhile, what Ms. Suu Kyi can do for greater power in the government is to influence the military and their proxies in the parliaments, neutralize their positions and persuade them for constitutional changes in alliance with the parliamentarians from other ethnic groups. Although it is extremely difficult and a mountain task for Ms. Suu Kyi to persuade the military (in the parliament) for the constitutional changes that are literally against them and their military institution, she is known to have an ability to influence the people she wants and win their hearts.
Of course, it is not because she has been able to deliver much benefit for the people of the nation but because of her blood lineage. She is loved and respected in Myanmar more because she is the daughter of the late Burmese National Hero General Aung San than because what the more or less she has contributed for the country. She is over 70 now. Maximum can she serve in the party for the nation or to influence the military for the constitutional changes is just 10 years. But it will take decades to make any such impacts on the military institution and generals.
Therefore, her party needs a super effective, efficient, vibrant and influential leader who can succeed her and be influential like she is. With history proving that the country has faced leadership failures time and again, will such influential leader can emerge in just 10 or 20 years of time especially without the Gen. Aung San's blood lineage? Or will the military rise again and stick to follow the military-coined displinary democracy and keep the military hegemony alive? It is a matter of time. What we can do is just 'Wait and Watch.'

My boyfriend is turning 30 in September. I have no idea what to do. He isn't really into parties so that makes it even harder. It would just be a few friends and family. Nothing too big. Budget is an issue, too. Any suggestions?

Why don't you throw a slumber party for your husband?
For my 35th birthday, my friends threw me a slumber party (totally co-ed). The friend who had the biggest place (he owned a house) hosted the party. They crowned me with tiara, gave me a baton to use as a scepter, and donned an me with an oversized bathrobe. We had a potluck dinner and birthday cake, then watched movies and played games all night long. We all camped out in the living room. The next day we had a nice home cooked brunch. It was tons of fun and I'll always cherish the memory. (07/26/2007)

I think for your boyfriend you should invite close friends and family over, and throw him a BBQ. You could cook hamburgers and hotdogs and then just hang out outside. If it's not too cold you could have a bonfire at night. (08/01/2007)

We decided to have a dodge ball tournament and played poker, and listened to music and had a BBQ. It was fun to all get together and get involved in some intense gaming. (09/26/2007)

My husband is turning 30 this year. His best friend owns a lot of land so we're going to have a big field party. Everyone is bringing their camp gear. I'm going to hire a band and roast a pig. Looking forward to it. We'll do a bonfire if it's not too hot outside that night. (03/25/2008)

I just threw a surprise 30th birthday for my husband. It was a bike-riding scavenger hunt in our neighborhood and everyone had a great time. People brought back-packs and digital cameras for the scavenger hunt. I supplied beer and water so people could load up their backpacks for the hunt. There were about 27 items on the list and some of the items were related to "30" or my husband. Really fun and different. Each team had their own team mascot, which was a blow-up animal. Every photo had to include the team mascot. The pictures turned out really funny. (05/29/2008)

Just in response to your 30th birthday confusion, here is an idea that is lower budget and personal.
Call a local bus company and create a tour of places around you that are important in the birthday person's life. Creating a personal tour, will bring back memories for all family and close friends to share in. A bus can usually be rented for under $150.00 depending on the distance. You can stop at his first school, where you both first met.
Get every one to suggest a location to add to the bus tour and the reason behind it in the invitation with their response. At every stop get up and explain why to all this is important. End the party at a location where appetizers and cake can be served.
Hope this helps.

My boyfriend's 30th birthday is this week, so I wanted to do something that would involve all of his closest friends and family. I rented a bunkhouse (a large, one room cabin) at the Illinois River. They offer horse shoes, volleyball, and a swimming pool, plus the river to float or canoe down.
There are several spots along the river where you can stop for a picnic, and they allow beer on the river, so it will be a fun, relaxing booze fest with those closest to us. The actual cost of the cabin was a bit expensive, but it is worth it to have everyone together for a memorable birthday. Plus, with me paying for the cabin, more people can afford to come along. But the alternative route is to have everyone pay their own share, which was still affordable, around $50 a person for the whole weekend. (08/11/2008)

My husband turns 30 in September and I have found a "safe" theme. A James Bond theme party. It's cheap because everyone just turns up in a black tie, and you can customize it to fit whichever film.
I'm doing a 007 party for him at a local golf club, and the decorations are black and silver. The food is simple finger food (easily bought from Walmart, and only takes a couple of hours to prepare at home) and will have about 60 people attending.
If you want to go smaller, do a 007 theme, but as Casino Royale have a poker night. You only need to gamble pennies for the night. Also, it means the ladies get to dress up as one of the sexy, sassy, Bond girls.
It's a cheap night that will appeal to his boyish side. Enjoy. (01/15/2009)

I recently did pub crawl in a fun, bar-filled neighborhood in my town for the 30th birthday of a friend. We rented one of those tacky, revamped school buses that are painted with a theme. We had a keg and shots on the bus and then stopped at some of the local notorious bars. It was one of the most fun parties I have ever been to. (01/19/2009)

In 2008 I gave my BF a 30th Casino night party. We rented roulette wheel, craps table, and a poker table it was so much fun. People want us to have casino night parties all the time now. The decor was mostly bought at partycheap.com and orientaltrading.com. Rental of all 3 tables was about $200 and it came with play chips. (02/16/2009)

I am taking my husband to NYC for the weekend. It just worked out that the weekend of his birthday the Yankees are playing the Indians (his team). We will drive and meet a couple on our way, and his friends from MD and NM will be coming in for the weekend. Total cost $150.00 for tickets (4) and we found great rentals in the city for all of us, a 3 bedroom, 3 bath for about $300.00 a night. I will pay for that $750.00 not bad for a birthday he will always remember. But you could always split the cost with a few of your closest friends and family. (02/25/2009)

My husband is turning 30 on 3-11-09 and he is making a big deal about how old he will be. So, for his party is kind of a Halloween decor party if you will. The decorations are black and grey (streamers and balloons) along with tombstones (the Halloween decor ones from the Dollar store). I also saved a semi life sized skeleton that I will be dressing in Kevin's clothes with a birthday boy hat and pin. The skeleton will be propped up in a chair next to the tomb stone cake I will be making. It will say, "Today we lay to rest the youth of Kevin."
I asked everyone to dress in black and I have a sign in book similar to the ones you would see at a wake, so guest can write a favorite memory of Kevin before he turned into an "old" man and how to work through those mid life crises. It is a cook out; I have a cousin doing the BBQ so Kevin won't have to. There will be a keg and it is in the evening to help with the whole idea of a spooky grave yard for the burial of Kevin's youth. For lighting I have tiki lanterns.
Altogether I have spent around $100 in decor about $150 in food and then the keg. So I didn't really spend all that much. It really depends on the amount of food you want to have and how much you want to spend on beer, liquor, etc. I hope this gives you some ideas. (02/28/2009)

text: I quickly glanced at those forums, but didn't spend a whole lot of time reading. It seems some people had issues with defective phones that needed replacing, sometimes multiple times. I don't see that as ultimately a problem with the phone though, such as a design flaw that can't be fixed without more R&D. From time to time I see people posting something along the lines of "I'll never buy another Samsung product again" due to lack of support issues, or whatever, on some of the newer phone models. Personally, I had an i730 and it was the best phone you could get during its time. Has anyone closely followed what the AT&T and T Mobile Galaxy S owners are saying? The main gripe I've heard is that there's a GPS software issue for some users, but there's supposed to be a workaround, and supposedly a fix in an update. Also, 2.2 is confirmed for all US Galaxy S variants.

Water sports (kayaking/canoeing, sailing, swimming (ocean, lake, river swimming 'hole'), fine restaurants, birding, Hardy Boat Tours (including Monhegan Island and the Maine coast), hiking, shopping/antiquing are all within several miles of our home. The Botanical Gardens in Boothbay are a must see! For children, there are many activities: beach fun, tide pool explorations, hands-on activities at the local Colonial Pemaquid Museum and the Boothbay Harbor Aquarium to name a few.
Keywords: Pemaquid Point, village home, peaceful, comfortable, Pemaquid Beach, Colonial Pemaquid,
I am a speech/language pathologist who has worked with children for over 30 years in the NH public schools. The children's enthusiasm for life and learning inspires me daily!
I am a mom, daughter, Greyhound rescuer, quilter, thinker, reader, hiker, and life-lover!
Martha Brooks purchased this house in 2000
My family has been coming to the Damariscotta/Pemaquid region since before my birth. I grew up vacationing at our family's log cabin on nearby Biscay Pond.
As an adult, I searched for a long time for my Mainehouse--a home that was slightly off the beaten path, but still close to the many places I loved around the Pemaquid Peninsula.
I treasure both the 'perfect summer days' and the quiet moments off-season that I have at my Mainehouse with family and friends. Whether I am reading, working on a quilt, going to an auction, or cooking a lobster meal for others, I am always amazed at the peace I feel in my home in Maine.
This is a great home for a vacation. A very relaxing place to stay and to go out and explore the nearby towns. I really enjoyed sitting outside at night and being able to see all of the stars that I can't normally see where we live in the city.
There were discrepancies and i mentioned them in the guest book for review
Wonderful experience! Host is easy to work with and house is amazing...great for entertaining, relaxing, experiencing Maine. Love this place so much and hope to be back!
Our family came to New Harbor from the San Francisco Bay Area for a family wedding. The house is big and very comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well stocked so we could have a large group of family members for breakfast. We all sat out in the sunshine on the deck enjoying the endless green lawns sweeping from "our house" to the neighbor's house. Lovely spot, and the experience was a bonding one for our family! Thank you.
My time in here is always fun. It is quiet and relaxing, it's like time stops, there is nothing to worry about. There is plenty to do no matter what you are interested in. I would recommend this house to anyone who is interested in spending some time in Maine.
This comphy-cozy Maine home is the perfect place to relax in the sunny gardens or use as a home base to explore all that Maine's mid coast has to offer. Both beach and harbour are within easy walking distance. Peacefull kayaking is only a short drive away. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!
Colonial Pemaquid Museum and archeological grounds (pre-dates Plymouth Plantation, MA), Boothbay Harbor: Aquarium-- Railway Village--Miniature Golf, Hardy Boat Tours--visit the artist colony at Monhegan Island or tour the Maine coast while enjoying lighthouse/wildlife cruises, numerous artist galleries/shows/craftshops

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

" It was okay.
The last episode was really good. On the level of the 90s X-Men and big episodes of 90s Spider-Man. Would love to see how it all finished.
It's kind of a same thing as Batman Beyond for Batman.
I like that the story continues where it ended, where it supposed to end. It finally shows that Peter and MJ are living together. Their happily ever after. The thing that disappointed me with the original series. They could've make 1 additional episode of finding MJ.
I like the new costume, though I hate the cape. It's not for Spider Man for sure.
The new environment okay. Graphics - okay. It's an okay successor. At least it is watchable ;), comparing it to the newer generation of Spider Man animated series. " - WinGeD CoLoSsuS

Hay tip over
LOAD SHIFT: Law enforcement was called to the intersection of Lake Avenue and Seventh St. Monday morning about 9:35 a.m. when a trailer loaded with 450 small hay bales tipped over on Lake Avenue. No one was injured and there was minimal damage to the trailer, according to Nebraska State Patrol trooper John Hadley who investigated the accident. Hadley declined to give the name of the driver of the pickup who pulled the trailer, noting that he was a 72-year-old farmer from Kearney who was hauling the bales home from Mann Hay Company. Because of defects on the trailer and the fact that the driver didn't have a commercial driver's license, Hadley said the hay and trailer were left at the site to be picked up. The tip over, caused when Hadley said the load of hay shifted, meant that law enforcement directed traffic around the hay and trailer for about two hours.

Actually, rather than loading down various tasks with yet more attributes, I'd prefer to see a more refined logging system, one where you could specify levels of information you want. I think that's sort of been done to some degree, with the MSG_INFO and MSG_WARN stuff, and with the Ant flags -verbose and -debug, but I don't think it's refined enough. There's too much similarity, I think, between verbose and debug -- and much of what verbose prints out I'm not really interested in seeing, since I usually only include -verbose when I'm trying to see the classpath or command-lines for things. If I want to see all the property stuff, I use the -debug flag. Diane ===== (email@example.com) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Too much shoveling or too much sitting around this weekend? Try out some of these general stretching techniques to work out the kinks!
"Megan knows her stuff! She is so knowledgeable in the world of fitness, I know I can ask her about any exercise and she will be able to explain proper form, reps, etc!"
– Vanessa Straub Chrisemer
"I've been working out with Megan since April of 2012. Together we've been working to reach my hefty goal of losing almost 150 lbs. She has always been encouraging, supportive, pushes me when I need it and there to listen to anything that I have on my mind. The work outs that she designs are always different and they push me to achieve things I never thought I could do. I would have never made it this far in my weight loss goal or gained this new found confidence without her. Not only is Megan an excellent trainer, she is also an amazing person! I highly recommend coming Athena Warrior Fitness for the top notch training!"
– Amanda Tekely
"Megan is the BEST trainer around!! I was spoiled for four years at college to have her as my personal trainer and field hockey mentor Regardless of your mood that day or lack of sleep and stress, Megan puts a smile on your face and can always make you believe you can and you will do it and push through it. I couldn't of asked for such an amazing person to help me grow as a player, an athlete and individual during critical developing period of my life. Can't wait for opening day and couldn't be more proud of someone who deserve everything special in life."

The Tewksbury Selectmen voted unanimously to allow the Tewksbury Historical Society to put up 9 granite posts as Memorials to the Tewksbury Militia that marched to Concord to protect and keep safe that community on April 19, 1775. One hundred men marched that morning and fought the British who had invaded Lexington and then Concord. Tewksbury's three Militia Companies arrived at Meriam's Corner and fought the British on the flanks and from the rear of the British column as they returned to Boston.

Hardy-Pike House
The Hardy-Pike House is threatened by demolition by the Town of Tewksbury but the Tewksbury Historical Commission placed a nine-month Demolition Delay on the building, which is owned by a Houston car dealership group. The house still stands where it has for the past 275 years. Developer James Andella and the Society are working hard to try to move it to 155 East Street, a house lot owned by Mr. Andella's company. He plans to place it there to use as a dentist office or bank but he needs a zoning change at Town Meeting in May 2016. We'll keep you informed.

Using the camera as a part of your lab notebook enables you to capture visual information of your project in context of space and movement. For instance being able to move the camera around an area of damage can better articulate the structural nature of your project while simultaneously making audio notes.
An example of this method was created at the IMA with Conservation Technician II Laura Mosteller. In the video below she hand held the camera so that she was able to move around the large frame she was examining. While she made her examination with the video camera she had the lavalier microphone on herself to record audio notes alongside what she was capturing with the camera and its significance in her examination. Creating a single take narrated video documentation is quite simple, once again keep it simple and focus on what is right in front of you so that your video is short and to the point. Using video as documenation is a useful way to augment your lab notebook.
You can also try this with an iPhone kit, but you will need to move more slowly to give camera time to adjust to focus and light. You will also have more camera shake and movement unless you are using a tool like this product, or you can save a lot of money and try one of many solutions like this lifehacker trick.

Grey matter consist of dense amount of neurons with short, less myelinated axons. It makes areas of the brain like the cerebral cortex. It's associated with high cognitive function. White matter makes up other structures of the brain, and is composed of fewer cells with longer, more myelinated axons and is associated with communication between regions of the brain.

While the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing with planar devices on 300mm wafers is in mainstream now, Moore's law continues to drive scaling. This is demonstrated remarkably by flash memory, where NAND density is growing at two times faster than Moore's law. Along with the scaling to increase the functionality and performance there are new concerns on cost and reliability. Hence the industry is continuing the search for new materials and technologies, as illustrated partly by the increasing interests in 3D transistors and non-silicon devices.
In the new environment, certain industrial inflections create opportunities for Mattson Technology in a number of areas, for example, surface cleaning, defect engineering, self-aligned spacer, stopper and bond pad etch. Flash anneal and plasma assisted oxidation are also new frontiers, which offer novel applications in advanced technology nodes.
Even as we work in partnership with leading customers on advanced technologies, we are aware of the industry's major inflection points, when it is no longer economically viable to continue scaling. Thus the exploratory development of new technologies and materials are essential for the long-term growth of Mattson Technology.

We take a look at the five leading candidates for the England manager's job vacated by Roy Hodgson when he resigned after losing to Iceland at Euro 2016 (according to the bookmakers)…
SAM ALLARDYCE (Sunderland) odds 2/5
The one surefire candidate as his club helpfully revealed on Wednesday he had held talks with the three wise men on the FA panel. The 61-year-old — inevitably dubbed "Big Sam" — is as uncompromising in his coaching style as he was as a central defender, although he did modify his direct approach a bit when asked to at West Ham.
He rejected accusations from Jose Mourinho that his team played "19th Century football". Has never won silverware in England but is respected for his ability to get the most out of players even with limited ability. Question is: Is he a better manager now than he was 10 years ago when he was also interviewed for the top job and lost out to Steve "the wally with the brolly" McClaren?
JURGEN KLINSMANN (United States) 8/1
Engaging, charismatic and a free spirit, the German — who has experience of English football having played for Spurs — has managed Germany, when they hosted the 2006 World Cup, and guided them to the semifinals. A tough spell at Bayern Munich has been followed by happier times with the United States. But a 4-0 thumping by Argentina in the Copa America semifinals illustrated the chasm in class that exists with the top teams and could prompt him to look elsewhere. Linked with the Southampton job, which went to Claude Puel, the 51-year-old is under contract till 2018. Would be a refreshing choice, but plenty of US football fans would be happy to see him go.
EDDIE HOWE (Bournemouth)14/1
The young buck greatly admired for what he has achieved with limited resources at Bournemouth in not only guiding them to the Premier League for the first time but keeping them up. The football he advocates has also won him admirers, but at just 38 his inexperience — despite being a manager for seven years — will probably make the FA hesitate. His chances would improve were he to keep Bournemouth up again in the forthcoming season. On the other hand the FA may feel that having tried the foreign route and then the experienced hand in Fabio Capello and Hodgson — and seen them fail at major championships — why not take a leap into the unknown with a younger, English man.
STEVE BRUCE (Hull) 16/1
Similar in mould to Allardyce, another former rugged centre-back, although he won considerably more silverware as a player at Manchester United. The 55-year-old has, like Allardyce, had a fair few clubs during his managerial career. But unlike the older Englishman Bruce has come within a hair's breadth of winning a trophy, his Hull side being beaten by Arsenal etra-time of the 2015 FA Cup. He has also managed to regain their Premier League status after just one season in the second tier. However, while engaging and no fool, there are question marks over his ability to step up to the very top level.
GLEN HODDLE (unattached) 20/1
For a man ridiculed over his beliefs, including on reincarnation, this would be supreme vindication on every level. It would be his second incarnation as England boss after the first ended 17 years ago not because of poor results but because of remarks about disabled people. No doubting the 58-year-old has an acute football brain — which transferred neatly from his glorious playing days — but he hasn't held a managerial position for 10 years, since he was in charge of Wolves. Has been a TV pundit since and that — as several have found, like Gary Neville and Alan Shearer — is not easy to transfer from the studio to the dugout.

During a recent Skype phone call with fellow blogger Diane Jacobs, the discussion of physical activity and motor control came up. Diane is noteworthy for having an opinion or two on the role of neuroscience in the world of physical therapy, but what I've come to realize is she's equally eager to help colleagues learn and will go out of her way to do so. Thanks again Diane.
After the phone call, Diane sent me a link to one of Ginger Campbell's Brain Science Podcasts. The podcast is an interview with Harvard physician John Ratey and his new book Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. It is a fascinating interview and it sounds as if the book could be an equally fascinating read. I was particularly fired up to hear Dr. Ratey's take on exercise and neuroplasticity. He actually refers to exercise as "the undisputed champ of neuroplasticity for the brain". What a powerful statement that could have incredible and far-reaching implications for the role of therapeutic exercise in our clinical outcomes.
Please feel free to check this podcast out and let me know what you think.
If you are interested in learning more about Ginger Campbell or listening to more of her podcasts (she's got a great southern accent by the way) feel free to check out her website. I will also add it to the list of "Great Medical Blogs" on my site.

New Delhi: Three days ahead of Apple launching its iconic iPhone in the country, country's largest mobile phone maker Nokia today unveiled its new converged device N96 from its 'N Series' range.
Nokia is quiet confident that the company's sales would not be impacted by the launch of the iPhone in the country, but many feel Nokia is hurrying the launch of N96 in India to counter the hype associated with iPhone.
'Our sales will not be affected by the launch of iPhone in the country...There are different segments of consumers whose needs are different,' Nokia India Director (Marketing) Devinder Kishore told reporters here.
He, however, refused to divulge the price of the handset.
With a large 2.8-inch screen display, the phone packs 16 GB of internal memory, expandable up to 24GB.
'Consumers can pre-book the phone from across 2,000 Nokia outlets across the country from tomorrow,' he added.
Nokia seems to have seen a good market prospect in the converged devices segment and expects about 180 million users by the end of the year from 120 million users last year.
The company sold 15.3 million units globally of converged devices in the second quarter this fiscal.
N96 is also being launched in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin American countries.
Asked about the impact of 3G services roll out, Mr Kishore said, 'this will help the sales of 3G devices in the country and will help the consumers get the best of services as well.' Nokia has a 52.9 per cent market share in the country.

Gamma Force was a message board RPG based around Starfleet's fleet in the Gamma Quadrant in the late 24th century. Gamma Force appears to be no longer active.
Gamma Force is comprised of dozens of members, all of whom roleplay characters on several ships and starbases assigned to Starfleet's Gamma Force.
Since the beginning, the site has grown exponentially. The site is governed by General Mike Malone, assisted by the Command Staff, who meet almost everyday to discuss the running of the site. The ships and bases are divided into Task Forces, all of which are run by a Task Force Commander. Each Task Force is broken down into Task Groups, all of which are run by a Task Group Commander. Ship Commanders report to the Task Group Commander, who reports to the Task Force Commander, who then reports to the Command Staff.

Started with a 12.86lb brisket.
Here it is after trimming and a little rub'n
All tucked in and ready for a nice warm night
Here is a close up of where I put the AMNPS. I have Oak and Hickory in there. So far its burning nicely. I made a heat shield out of heavy duty foil. I also put the pellets in the microwave for 90 seconds before putting in the AMNPS. Dont know if I needed to do that or not but I have always done it with the dust to ensure its dry so I just did it with the pellets too.

A familiar cowl will be gracing the cover of this weeks Entertainment Weekly, as the magazine reveals exclusive photos and news from the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. Although not much information is given in the article about the paper, found on the Entertainment Weekly website, they do give some details regarding the upcoming movie.
The following is a *SPOILER ALERT*
- Although previously announced, the movie will take place eight years after the conclusion of The Dark Knight.
- The Batcave will also see a return. The reason why it wasn't in The Dark Knight was due to Wayne Manor getting burned down in Batman Begins.
- The movie explores the social and political ramifications of Batman's and Commisioner Gordon's decision to hide the truth about Harvey Dent (aka Two-Face).
We may still have a while to wait for the movie to be released, but who else besides me can not wait any more? Let us know in the comments!
