Separated by Surgery, Twins Kathleen and Charity Lincoln Share a Bond of Sisterhood, but Not as Prisoners of Their Once-Conjoined Bodies
"Mom, where's Kathleen's other leg?" asks 3-year-old Annelise, trying to wrest the infant from her sister. "She doesn't have another leg," replies her mother as Charity, the other twin, sleeps on in the crib.
Observes Mikayla: "It's a lot different now that they're separated."
Months before their baby girls were born last February, when they realized the infants were one—not just genetically, like all identical twins, but physically, with a bond of flesh and blood—Vaneice Lincoln and her husband, Greg, had prayed for a miracle. It took more than a year, and some of the best medical expertise in the nation, but their prayer was answered. On Oct. 1, after a 31-hour surgery at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, Kathleen and Charity were successfully separated. Unlike the well-publicized conjoined twins Jodie and Mary, who were parted in England in November—resulting in Mary's death—both babies are healthy. "It's incredible what has happened to the girls," says Greg. "They have a very bright future."
That didn't seem within the realm of possibility when Vaneice, 30, paid her first visit to the obstetrician in August 1999. "I have good news and not-so-good news," she told her husband when she got home. "We're having twins. But they might be joined." Greg, 32, didn't believe it. They had used no fertility drugs. Vaneice was only eight weeks along—maybe it was a mistake. Because of their fundamentalist Christian faith, there was no question of abortion. But after a second test a month later, the technician went silent while she performed the ultrasound. "She said, 'I have some concerns,' " recalls Greg. "And my heart just—what do you say when it feels like it's gonna fall out of you?"
The Lincolns, however, didn't panic. To make room for two more, they moved to a new split-level in Lacey, Wash., just after last Thanksgiving. And before Christmas, they traveled to Seattle, an hour away, to consult pediatric surgeon John Waldhausen about the possibility of separating the twins. The couple made it clear they wouldn't even consider surgery unless both babies had an excellent chance of surviving. Waldhausen, 42, who had assisted in only one such procedure before, opened a medical text to show the Lincolns a diagram of their children. Classified ischiopagus tripus, joined from breastbone to pelvis, such twins are usually female. "Geneticists disagree about whether they are caused by fused ova or one egg that divided abnormally," explains Waldhausen. Only one in 200,000 births culminates in this particular type of conjoined twins, and 75 percent of such babies born die within a day. Says Vaneice: "It was devastating."
Fortunately her own pregnancy proved problem-free. Vaneice put on 40 lbs. and, unlike many mothers of normal twins, needed no bed rest. On Feb. 21, weighing in at 13 lbs. 3 oz., the twins were delivered in a scheduled cesarean section at 37½ weeks at the University of Washington Medical Center. Kathleen—the name Vaneice had picked out—emerged first; then came Charity, named by Greg. Vaneice held them for a moment, swaddled, before they were whisked off to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. When Greg went to see them, the nurses said, "Congratulations, they're beautiful." But when he saw his girls on the warming bed—conjoined, despite all the prayers—the good wishes seemed a cruel joke. "I loved them, they were beautiful to me, but I thought, 'I have two deformed children,' " he says. "It was like I had lived my whole life in one room of a house, and suddenly that day another room opened up. And that room was pain."
The logistics of baby care were more difficult. When the Lincolns brought the twins home 10 days later, it was hard to figure out how to hold them. The biggest car seat they could find was fitted with buckwheat pillows made by Greg's mother, Lorinda, and a friend sewed baby gowns together to create a sack with two head openings. Vaneice, meanwhile, struggled to get the twins to nurse and sleep at the same time. Perhaps the greatest strain was emotional. "You grieve for what your kids will have to go through," says Vaneice, imagining constant surgeries and the ridicule of other kids. She rarely discussed the twins with anyone but her husband. "I felt like the only person who could really understand was Greg," she says. "Because he was there too." For his part Greg is grateful the girls weren't born 10 years ago, when he and Vaneice were newlyweds. "We were a lot more immature," he says. "There would have been more stress on our relationship."
They first met as children at summer camp meetings of the Church of God (Seventh Day), held in Vaneice's home-town of Meridian, Idaho, but didn't really get to know one another. "Why didn't you talk to me?" Greg asks his wife. Teases Vaneice: "It was about hair, I think." (She thought his was too bushy.) Born in Tacoma, Wash., the third of five children, Greg wound up back near Meridian, with shorter hair, as a college student studying accounting at Northwest Nazarene University. The youngest of three girls of Charles Ward, a real estate agent, and his wife, Lola, a first-grade teacher, Vaneice started seeing Greg at church functions. They married a year later.
Even before the twins, Vaneice had time for little else but mothering. Mikayla, Troy, 6, and Annelise are being homeschooled. Greg had planned to enter the ministry but was forced to drop out of Bible college when he came down with Crohn's disease, a debilitating gastrointestinal condition. Unable to work for a year, he had just hired on for a modest wage at an accounting firm when Vaneice found out she was pregnant again. Fortunately his insurance covered the twins.
Wary of inevitable stares and questions, the Lincolns grew increasingly reclusive after the twins were born, rarely venturing out except to go to church or to see Greg's parents, Bob, a carpenter, and Lorinda, a homemaker, who live 15 minutes away. One day, when they were getting fast food at a drive-through window, Mikayla wondered aloud why they weren't going inside. "You don't want people to see them?" she asked. The blunt perception stung her parents. "What message are we sending to our kids, to other disabled people?" Greg asked himself. "That we're ashamed?"
From then on, he and Vaneice resolved to be more open. In time, the twins developed distinct personalities—Charity, more active; Kathleen, laid-back and chattier. But while Charity did much of the nursing, Kathleen's cheeks got chubbier. "Charity would eat like a horse, but Kathleen was getting all the calories," says Dr. Waldhausen. "They probably would not have thrived." The specter of the parasitic twin loomed larger after the conjoined twins in Manchester, England, became the focus of controversy, since separating that pair meant that one would die, while not operating meant that both would. (The two were separated Nov. 6 after British judges ruled that the stronger child should be saved at the expense of her weaker sister, who had a partially developed brain.) "You need the wisdom of Solomon," says Greg. "I could not decide. I could not kill one of them."
Fortunately for the Lincolns, after batteries of MRIs and other tests, doctors concluded that both Charity and Kathleen stood a good chance of living if separated. They shared a liver, a bladder, intestines, a bowel and a pelvis, all of which would be split. One girl would have a kidney and two ovaries, one two kidneys and one ovary, but each would have functional reproductive and excretory systems. Each would have a single leg. The only questions were whether there were two bile ducts and whether there were enough intestines for both girls.
Surgery was planned at 7 months, when the twins would be strong enough to endure it but not so old that the separation would be emotionally traumatic. In preparation for the operation, balloons were inserted under the skin and slowly expanded to stretch it so there would be enough skin to cover the wounds when they were parted. A week before the date marked as "The Big Day!" on the calendar, "I was rocking them, and all the other kids were out playing," Vaneice says. "It was quiet. And the magnitude of what they were going to go through, the risk—it all just kind of hit."
At Children's Hospital, Greg and Vaneice were calmer than the 10 family members who came to offer moral support. As the twins were wheeled off to the operating room at 7:30 a.m., Greg's father videotaped through his tears. "Greg's more even-keel than I am," says Bob Lincoln. "And Vaneice—she's rock-solid." For two hours they waited for word about whether the twins would be separated or closed back up. The head nurse came out: It was a go.
Inside the operating room, 30 medical personnel—including pediatric surgeons, urologists, orthopedists, plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists and radiologists—were separated into two teams, one wearing yellow star-spangled hats for Kathleen, the other purple for Charity. The babies' fingers had similar color-coded tape, as did all the tubes and wires attached to each child. Waldhausen, who coordinated the surgery, was there for the whole 31 hours, with occasional rests. "If you break down the surgery, each component is something we do routinely," he says. "The difficult part was organizing it all into one whole so that it flowed smoothly." Surgeons divided the liver, bladder, bowel and intestines. The bone from the girls' third leg was used to close their pelvic girdles, and the skin and dimple from that extra knee created a navel for Kathleen. After 23 hours, the twins were apart for the first time. Charity remained in the original OR, while Kathleen was moved to a neighboring one. After six more hours, Charity's team finished sewing her up; 90 minutes later Kathleen finally went to recovery. Says Grandmother Lincoln: "They just weren't meant to die."
Greg and Vaneice lived in the hospital room as the twins healed. Kathleen did so more quickly, often reaching toward Charity, who had to undergo another operation to finish closing her wound. Charity did not like having dressings changed, and Kathleen became suspicious of strangers, but both were good sports about the many tests, only occasionally whimpering, often in unison. But in just three weeks, they were home. When the Lincolns' minivan pulled into the driveway, the family greeted them with balloons, welcome home signs and a cake.
The girls recently had their first taste of solid food—rice cereal—and are undergoing physical therapy three times a week. Charity has grown more gregarious and can roll over. Kathleen, meanwhile, is saying "Dada" and "Mama." Both twins have an ostomy, a piece of intestine pulled through the abdominal wall and attached to a plastic bag to collect feces. With another operation, the children may be able to excrete normally, but it is too soon to tell. Their bladders and urinary tracts are in working order. Though each girl has only one leg, with operations and prostheses they may someday be able to walk. "Lord willing, they will," says Grandfather Lincoln.
In late November the twins took a trip to Idaho—this time in individual car seats—for a special Thanksgiving with Vaneice's parents. And they are thankful. "It wasn't the miracle we wanted," says Greg. "But I believe God heard our prayers. It was against the odds that they'd be born alive, that both girls have every part they need to live." The Lincolns count their blessings, all five of them—and hope the Lord doesn't send them any more. "I think maybe I'm done," says Vaneice. "Five's a good number."

He didn't have anything to say about guns, but I would say that Rep. Paul is the only candidate even more pro-gun than Thompson. Thompson has a decent voting record on 2A when compared with most others', but he can't hold a candle to Ron Paul. Ron Paul has consistently, without fail voted pro-2A.

Sometimes those three hour time differences work to our advantages....

Sorry guys.
We don't do politics any more.
If you have a pertinent policy statement from a candidate, like, "everybody should have a gun" and you have a source, then fine.
A statement published in a blog, a media organ, or what have you, to the effect that Candidate Feebish has clearly stated that gun ownership shall be mandatory, also fair game.
Remember, though, that once you post a clear statement with a candidate's name in it, very shortly someone will be along to sprinkle the thread with essence of politics and right after that someone like me will be along to staple the thread.
Nothing personal.
We do want to know specific positions on guns, their use and their ownership.
It's all the squabbling that accompanies it that we don't want.

Pangea Bakery
At last. A Taiwanese bakery has finally made its way to San Diego. Both Taiwan and Hong Kong are very well known for bread bakeries, which offer a huge variety of fresh baked, soft and fluffy breads with various fillings and toppings.
San Diego has pretty much been devoid of a Taiwanese style bakery until Pangea. The closest you can find to chinese style breads are the Ranch 99 bakery and Tasty Bakery. Both offer some okay bread options, but once you've had the better bakeries, it's really hard to buy anything from these. As a result, one of the things I do when I take an LA road trip is stop by every chinese bakery possible and load up on fresh baked breads.
In Taiwan, bread bakeries are everywhere, making it very convenient to pop in after work and buy some breads for breakfast the next morning or even pop in the morning of for some fresh breakfast bread. The bakeries are set up so that you grab a tray and a pair of tongs near the entrance of the bakery and then work your way across the rows of breads on display, placing the ones you want to purchase on your tray. When you are finished, you make your way to the register and your order is rung up.
I'm not a big bread person in general. I prefer cereal to toast in the morning and I hate sandwiches. If no one is looking, my way of eating a sandwich is removing the bread and eating the inside only.
However, I love chinese style breads. The texture is incredibly soft and fluffy. I prefer the sweet breads, though some of the savory ones are nice too. My absolute favorite is the pineapple bun with no filling. The pineapple bun contains no pineapples but is called a pineapple bun because it sort of resembles one. The top has a sweet crumble which is so addicting. I could eat this bun everyday for breakfast and be content. Some other popular ones are sweet breads filled with red bean paste, custard, coconut custard, taro. Savory ones include ones filled with pork sung, ones topped with cheese and herbs to resemble pizza bread, and hot dog filled buns.
Pangea is located next to Tea Garden. I thought it was a funny name for a bakery that really only offers Taiwanese style breads. Inside, the space is huge. In fact, it seems like the location is too big. The baked goods take up a very small section of the bakery. Then there is a lot of empty space. There are a few tables and also a piano. I'm not quite sure what they plan on doing with all the extra space, and the owners don't seem to know either.
The selection of breads is a bit smaller than a typical chinese bakery, but there is still a decent variety. There weren't that many breads on display when I was making my purchase, but as I was leaving, I noticed rows and rows of breads that had been finished baking, but were still waiting to cool and be packaged.
I bought a variety of breads and then took them home to photograph.
Pineapple bun (labeled "puolo" or something similar. I don't remember their exact spelling, but this name is just phonetically following the chinese word for these breads). They were selling these mini ones without filling, two in one package.
I didn't like the sugar crystals on top of the bread. I've never seen that on a pineapple bun. The topping didn't have the best sweet buttery crumbly mixture I love, but the bread itself was pretty good. I'm always saying that the bread dough used to make pineapple bread is different from the other various sweet bread doughs. A lot of places make it wrong (like the Ranch 99 bakery in San Diego). This version was more correct. Not the best I've had, but a decent version.
I also got the taro mochi bread. Inside the sweet bread is a layer of mochi and then taro paste filling. I love mochi breads and I enjoyed this one.
We also got the taro swirl bread. I was excited to see this one because it looks a lot like one of my favorite breads to get at 85C. This version was pretty good. Not as soft as the one at 85C, but very similar tasting.
Bread with pork sung filling. Despite its appearance, this bread was savory all the way. The exterior had bits of scallion in it. The inside was filled with pork sung (sometimes called pork floss). If you've never had pork sung, I've found that most non-chinese people really enjoy it. It's dried pork, but the texture is more like cotton candy. It's salty and combines well with sweet or plain buns.
Hot dog bread. This bread was topped with cheese, with little pieces of hot dog in its flower petal shapes. There are a couple of hot dog variation breads in chinese bakeries. My favorite are mini hot dogs wrapped in a chinese bun. They didn't offer the kind I like here, so we got this instead.
Pepperoni and cheese pizza.
Bacon barley bread. Little bits of bacon are wrapped up in this bread, which resembled a stalk of barley.
Overall, I thought the breads were pretty good. They were on the expensive side. And they weren't as good as the bakeries in Orange County and LA. But they were good enough that I would come back here for my bread fix.

The pineapple bun looks a lot like a sweet bread I get at some of the Korean markets that I LOVE. I remember Zion Market having a tiny little bakery section that had some of these types of bread but I do not know how they compare to what you can get at a Taiwanese style bakery.
Thanks for the bakery lead! How does this place compare to JJ bakery? I love JJ bakery and stop by whenever I go to Palos Verdes.
ooh, i've been wanting to go here! i'm not really familiar with taiwanese style breads but they all look so good! i like the light, fluffy textures too.
I was here a couple of weeks ago, but I just had lunch, so I didn't go too crazy buying breads. Somehow I missed the piano (or maybe it wasn't there yet?). I've never had mochi bread, and Darlene had posted about the hot dog bread – I'll have to go back soon!
We went there today after dim sum at Emerald. The Custard Bun is AMAZING! The custard filling is like what is inside a bavarian donut! Oh so yummy! Going back and getting more of those for sure.

Applying and interviewing for a job can be stressful, especially if your current job skills aren't highly marketable. Evaluating employability factors forces you to focus on high-demand skills that will likely keep you in the running. As long as you focus on job-relevant skills that increase the productivity of the company, you won't go unnoticed.
Technological Proficiency
Employers want workers who are familiar with modern technology. Familiarity with industry-relevant software and the ability to interact with clients and coworkers online is a must. Employers look for job candidates who know how to use technology-based resources to increase the value of the business, says author Joe McKendrick in "Forbes" magazine. Before a job interview, review job-relevant software so you can discuss your computer knowledge and technological expertise.
Communication Skills
The ability to communicate effectively is a highly employable work skill. According to McKendrick, an interconnected global economy requires strong communication skills so employees are equipped to manage resources, lead team-centered projects and discuss business scenarios. Your new job may require you to use social media to interact with customers, correspond with clients via email, or host webinars. Interoffice meetings, team planning sessions and project proposals also require well-constructed dialogues and superior communication skills.
Even if a job opening isn't directly related to sales, having a sales-minded outlook is a highly employable work skill. The ability to sell an idea is often as important as being able to sell a product or service. According to "Inc." magazine, it takes a "selling" mindset to convince coworkers, investors, clients and your boss that a particular business strategy is best for the company. The ability to persuade customers to stay with your company long-term or to convince prospective clients that your products and services meet their needs is an employable job skill, regardless of the industry.
Evaluate your ability to work around obstacles and face challenges, even if it requires you to work beyond the scope of responsibilities listed in job ad. Kevin Watson, CEO and co-founder of jobdreaming (a website that helps people find that "perfect" job), says employees who are versatile and willing to do whatever needs to be done are most employable, according to Fox Business. Employers look for job candidates who are adaptable and flexible because there are always unexpected circumstances that must be handled with professionalism.

Oo Hla Saw, a central executive committee member of the Arakan National Party (ANP), the biggest ethnic Arakanese political party in Burma, recently spoke with The Irrawaddy's Khin Oo Tha about his views of the newly appointed chief minister of Arakan State, Maj-Gen Maung Maung Ohn. He also commented on the government's approach to communal violence in Arakan State and its efforts to punish the perpetrators.
Question: The ANP issued a statement opposing the appointment of a major-general as the chief minister of Arakan State. But when the appointment was approved in the parliament, no one [from your party] raised any objections. So, ANP was criticized as lacking a firm standpoint and policies. How would your respond?
Answer: U Maung Maung Ohn was nominated [as the Arakan State chief minister] in parliament on June 25. Before the nomination, and after the resignation of [former Chief Minister] U Hla Maung Tin, the ANP issued a three-point statement: First, the chief minister must be Arakanese; second, the minister must be a representative elected by the people; and third, the minister must be from the ANP, which holds the largest number of seats in the Arakan State assembly. Arakanese people don't like him. We also don't like him. We didn't want him to become the chief minister. But this is just another part of the question.
If we want object to him, there should be a way. But there is no way. The 2008 Constitution was designed for the convenience of the military to take up positions in the government. It provides for the appointment of a military officer as a lawmaker as well as a chief minister. So, what else could we do? The main problem lies in the Constitution. The Constitution therefore must be changed. If we want to raise objections to the appointment, we can only object on the grounds of something else like his performance and moral standards. The appointment can't be overturned by the wish of the Arakanese people. It can only be overturned according to the constitutional framework.
The new chief minister has met with Arakanese people and explained his plans for Arakan State. Before the parliament came into existence, consecutive military commanders of Arakan State also spoke the same rhetoric about how to develop the state, saying things like, "We are under the same roof," or, "I'm also an Arakanese man." The new chief minister did the same. We have no choice. So all we can do is to wait and see.
He is Burmese [ethnic Bamar]. But if he could fairly settle the Arakanese, Bengali [Rohingya] and NGO issues and bring tangible economic benefits to the state, we'd have to applaud him. If not, we'll have to wait and see if he has come to Arakan State to revive the military dictatorship, if he would be oppressive toward the people or if he would try to repeat the history of Bamar's rule over the Arakanese people.
Q: What is your view of the actions of President U Thein Sein's government in response to conflicts that began in 2012 in Arakan State?
A: We have talked continuously about things like the Bengalis' incursion, plots and political ploys. Again, we have also pointed out the mismanagement of the government. I think U Hla Maung Tin was dismissed partly because we pointed this out. Myanmar [Burma] is seeing instability and riots now, and we can't distinguish if they took place as they did [or if they were intentionally ignited by someone]. While Arakan State is facing the Bengali issue, there must be people who want to fish in troubled waters by instigating violence and riots in Arakan State. Among them may be retired military personnel or authorities as well as some Arakanese people.
Q: There is speculation that there must be manipulators behind the scene, including some members of the ruling party, the military and authorities. What do you think?
A: There may be manipulators behind every conflict. President U Thein Sein has also said that there are instigators behind the current conflicts. So, there must be manipulators behind the communal strife in Arakan State. Among them, maybe hard-liners from the ruling party, as well as Arakanese and Burmese people. Perhaps they are working hand in glove to create unrest. I have continuously said there must be a mastermind behind the conflict. But no one has been able to identify that mastermind yet.
Q: For example, in cases like the murdering [of Muslims] in Taungup Township and other violence in Arakan State, there were arrests, but the actual perpetrators were never found.
A: It is difficult to say why those perpetrators can't be found. In March, there were attacks on international aid worker offices in Sittwe [the state capital]. While there are bad, dishonest NGOs, there are also many honest NGOs. However, the attacks were launched on all international aid workers. Arakanese people don't accept ransacking all the houses. These are not good behaviors. To be frank, those who pull the strings are political experts. That's why they are still on the loose. Those acts are aimed at gaining political advantages. Those are not the acts of Arakanese people and they need to be consciously aware of it. The attacks on foreign aid workers took place in Sittwe during the time of retired Chief Minister U Hla Maung Tin. We have yet to wait and see how the new chief minister will respond to it.
Q: U Thein Sein's government formed a committee and commission after the Arakan conflict. But nothing has happened so far. So, do you have any plan of action besides monitoring?
A: If the government fails to take practical actions, we will mention, point out, urge and organize rallies within the legal framework. Neither our party nor the Arakanese people have authority. It's a question of authority.
Q: What's your assessment of Arakan State politics and internal affairs before and after 2015?
A: The ANP will win in Arakan State in the 2015 election. If the ANP party conference can adopt strong policies and positions, and if shrewd party members with strong leadership can emerge for the 2015 election, the future of Arakan State's politics will get better. However, if the current situation continues, there will be no changes for Arakanese people.
Q: Now, Arakan State has become stable to a certain extent. What do you want to say to Arakanese people to bring about stability and development across the state?
A: We, Arakanese people, have for a long time lagged behind in all aspects. So, if we want to stand tall as a race, we have to march steadily with discipline and political awareness. I want to stress that if we are easily swayed by others, like we are now, and if we commit anarchic acts, we, Arakanese people, will remain slaves for long in the future.
In whole Arakan region has Muslims in every townships, if two community cannot live peacefully there cannot have Peace and also can not make development. First of all ANP has to recognize that there is Muslims living and co-existing peacefully since the centuries. Those who destroyed Muslims property must be given compensation and given back their own land. To protect their security and allow them their daily lively hood. Those who destroyed Muslims properties in Kyaukpyu and other places must recognize them as " these Muslims are son of the soil ", so their land should be given back to them without any hesitation.
Next step will discuss upon given back their land. Just lingering and time buying won't do any progress, talking and action must be together. Even ANP party win in election in Arakan, the problem Muslims and Buddhists Arakanese will not solve, more violence and more killing will take place there. The problem to solve is lying in the hand two community.
Political problem must solve politically. How can the ANP leader create this problem without any sense.
Dear Oo Hla Saw,
You are great, you talk the truth. By looking your feature you may be descendent of Iranian ( Olden days Persian = today Kaman ), same as Engineer Mr. Shwe Hla Pru of Akyab descendent of Persi ( Persian ). Your ancester has change religion so to-day you confess Buddhisim. Every one has its own right to choose faith. Religion is on their own right to choose, can not use force to do this and that. I appreciate your statement. The culprits must bring to justice and in the court of law.
Many Chittagonian Bengalis (and I don't mean Baruas) have South East Asian features – so? Please do not make things up regarding U Hla Saw.
While I try to objectively understand and appreciate what you write, I have come to the conclusion that you have a twisted and hidden agenda in most of your responses. I had given you the benefit of doubt, but can't anymore.
I heard that China wants to station UWSA troops near Kyaukphru to guard their deep sea naval base and also their pipeline. The first "rape and murder" incident occurred near Kyaukphru, no?
I have one sincere message to Oo Hla Saw, CEC of ANP, quoting from Shakespeare's "Merchant of the Venice"..
""Shylock wanted an ounce of liver from Antonio for failing deadline to pay back the loan borrowed for his wedding. Antonio had no other choices as Shylock insisted. Antonio compiled to give an ounce of liver. But there was a catch!..You ( Shylock) can take a portion from my Liver, but there should not be any drop of blood.. if any drop of blood I will sue you again for committing murder..""
Likewise, Oo Hla Saw and ANP may try autonomous Arakan, peace, stability and development of Arakan without any Rohingya ( or Bengali whatever you want to say) …Ha Ha Ha….Anyway, please try to expand your horizon of mindful thinking..
Regarding " MASTERMIND " on Rakhine conflict as well as things happening on Burmese Muslims, I would like to give an analogy .. Please forgive me if it sounds rude..
[If a young lady conceives a baby, she doesn't know even for the first two months. Missed period or little bit of nausea may be due to other causes. She needs to check her urine for pregnancy test. At about 10 weeks, ultrasound can confirm her pregnancy but her family members may not know. At about 3-4 moths, her brothers and sisters may realise due to the way she dress. At 5 months, people on the street may realise that she is pregnant. At about 7 moths, a little toddler may say" aunty got a baby inside her belly..!"
UNFORTUNATELY, we, people of Burma, Rakhines, Bamar, Rohingya etc.. still unsure of the pregnancy while the baby's head is halfway delivered…" Do you still need to check urine or do ultrasound? Rediculious!!! ]
I would like to encourage my readers to read the following article, Interview with Oo Hla Saw. Please read carefully, word by word and particularly between the lines. Understandably, Rakhines are our sister community in Arakan and they cannot accept our existence due to "Rejection Phobia", which is their peculiar problem and that will doom them into labyrinth of Burmese politics and bring shame in the international stage.
The following interview reveals that Rakhines paid ultimate price for hitting the wrong target and drowning themselves deeper into the misery. In fact, the prosperity and development of Rakhine state can only be achievable through, unity, trust and mutual understanding between two major communities albeit different race and religion. The central government of Burma, either dictator or democratically elected leader, also needs to keep off hands to stir the peace, trust, harmony and stability to the region to milk off economic gain leaving natives starved.
'There Must be a Mastermind Behind the Conflict'
[I want to stress that if we are easily swayed by others, like we are now, and if we commit anarchic acts, we, Arakanese people, will remain slaves for long in the future…..OO Hla Saw CEO, ANP]
[……., there must be people who want to fish in troubled waters by instigating violence and riots in Arakan State. Among them may be retired military personnel or authorities as well as some Arakanese people… OO Hla Saw, CEO of ANP]
The Difference between Phobia and Fear

Just put back Wirathu behind bars; every racial riot in Myanmar will disappear. There's a very big shot behind him pulling the strings. Analyse deeply, you'll see it.

TDCJ repairs on Dawson State Jail air conditioning unit to begin next week
Conditions remain uncomfortable at Dawson State Jail as temperatures continue to hover around the hundred degree mark and the air conditioning system is still not working.
Newly elected state representative Eric Johnson toured the facility Tuesday and in a letter to a colleague called conditions on a woman's floor "uncomfortable but not oppressive" while a men's unit was warm but "not unduly so."
Johnson suggested tax dollars could be saved if the air conditioning system were repaired regularly thorugh preventive maintenance.
Michelle Lyons, spokeswoman for the prison system said reapirs are scheduled to begin on Monday, and hope to be completed in the next week or two. In the meantime, portable "chillers" are being used to keep temperatures as cool as possible.

Disaster Response in the Digital Age
In 2010, any disaster response communications effort that lacks a digital component isn't built for a world in which Web resources are the most trusted and widely-read media of the day. As ongoing containment and clean-up efforts in the Gulf continue, that's a fact clearly not lost on the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command.
While www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com appears to have been hastily designed and the navigation leaves something to be desired (understandable shortcomings under the present circumstances), the site provides a template for disaster response in the Digital Age that ought to be emulated by any company or organization that faces an emergency situation of such magnitude in the future.
First of all, one look at the multimedia content available on the site demonstrates an understanding that controlling the images is critical to successful crisis management. The site incorporates a range of visuals, including slideshows of clean-up efforts, diagrams of the spill containment attempts, videos of prevention efforts elsewhere, live streams of press conferences, and links to more images provided by government sites. Notably, the site does not try to hide the damage; instead, it transparently intersperses photos of affected wildlife and oily water with photos of active clean-up efforts.
Second, it's clear that the inclusion of social media on the Deepwater Horizon Response site is not a last-minute add-on; but rather an integral element. In addition to prominent links to related profiles on major social networks, the home page alone incorporates a Flickr slideshow, embedded YouTube video, and a snapshot of current activity on Facebook. Such dedicated integration encourages active participation among visitors. As such, it's no coincidence that the Facebook page has 22,000 fans and the YouTube videos have been viewed a total of 1.75 million times – meaning that the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command is sending its message directly to its audience, rather than relying exclusively on reporters and the media filter.
Third, the site provides multiple resources for concerned citizens. From locality-specific contingency plans throughout the Gulf region to an ongoing response timeline and updated maps of the spill zone, the site offers all of the information that audiences are looking for. Additionally, a comprehensive FAQ page answers myriad questions – ranging from "Where can I check the status of a beach?" to "Is my drinking water safe?" to "What sampling is EPA doing along the beaches?"
Fourth, the site provides easy-to-find contact and volunteer information. There are prominent phone numbers and contact details for notifying authorities of wildlife problems, oil on land, technical suggestions, and even damage claims. Those interested in volunteering to assist the clean-up effort can easily find relevant links and phone numbers on the site – and a formal submission process is available to those with suggestions for how to stop, contain, or recover the spilled oil.
Finally, the site incorporates the latest media advisories, news releases, press briefing videos, and interview transcripts – making it easy for journalists and citizens alike to find the latest information from both BP and the government entities involved in the cleanup.
While none of these features are revolutionary in and of themselves, the fact that they are all incorporated in a one-stop clearinghouse of information related to the spill demonstrates an understanding of digital crisis management that is all too rare in the media environment we inhabit today.
The officials behind the Deepwater Horizon Response site have mastered the tricky balance between managing a crisis message and providing opportunities for the public to engage. As such, www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com has secured a place as a prime example of best practices in online disaster communications.
UPDATE: The website deepwaterhorizonresponse.com is no longer active.

A young American English teacher who was executed by Islamic terrorists accusing him of proselytizing in Yemen was described by family and friends as someone who "loved his job" and had a heart for the poor.
Officials said a motorcycle gunman and an accomplice pulled alongside the vehicle that Joel Shrum was riding in March 18 and opened fire.
Shrum was on his way to work in the city of Taiz at the time of the attack. The 29-year-old served as deputy director of the Swedish Institute, a language school, and spent time offering vocational training in some of Yemen's poor areas.
"He was just motivated by especially seeing people coming out of poverty," Shrum's father, James, said Sunday night.
Shrum was a football star at his high school in Mount Joy, Pa. Former coach Gayne Deshler remembered Shrum and his brother as great kids who were "more about the team than themselves."
Al Qaeda-Linked Group Boasts
The assailants escaped after the shooting, but an al Qaeda-linked group quickly claimed responsibility for the attack.
"This operation comes as a response to the campaign of Christian proselytizing that the West has launched against Muslims," an unidentified person claiming responsibility on behalf of the group Ansar al-Sharia said in a text message to journalists.
The group, whose name means "Partisans of Islamic Law," also called Shrum "one of the biggest American proselytizers."
Shrum worked for the International Training Development Centre, a well-established nonprofit, nongovernmental group in Taiz.
On Monday, the organization called Shrum, "a very professional employee who highly respected the Islamic religion," and denied that he was proselytizing in the country.
ITDC shut down its offices after Shrum's death to address "the security of the foreign staff members."
On Sunday, a U.S. State Department official also condemned Shrum's murder.
"We continue to work to obtain additional information and urge Yemeni authorities to bring to justice all those responsible for this heinous crime," the official, who did not want to be named, said.
No Churches Allowed
Last week, Saudi Arabia's highest Islamic authority said no Christian churches should be allowed in the Arabian Peninsula, which includes Yemen.
Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah said the Islamic prophet Mohammad taught that there cannot be two religions on the Peninsula, and that only Islam should exist there.
Violence has increased in Yemen since President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi took office in February, vowing to stop al Qaeda. The Islamic group has increased attacks in Yemen as a result.
Shrum is survived by his wife and their two young sons.

Posted on 07/07/2009 10:04:31 PM PDT by DaveLoneRanger
There are two video lectures on YouTube a friend recently shared with me about when it comes to talking to the police. Even if you, like me, never expect to encounter police officers in a hostile situation, these are important videos to watch. This is especially true when it comes to law-abiding citizens who carry concealed or open weapons in self-defense.
Don't Talk to Cops, Part 1
Don't Talk to Cops, Part 2
This is not anti-police at all, but it is vital information for dealing with them.
This is for everyone on the armed citizen list. I highly recommend finding the time to watch these two videos...imperative information for armed citizens.
This is a must see video for EVERYONE.
May be of interest.
I've watched these a time or two..good stuff.
Good to see you, Dave......
Seen it, didn't follow it, paid for it.
EVERYONE must see this video. Watch it, learn it, live it.
Never never never talk to the police. Even if you're the one that called them just say "I got you here, you figure it out".
ping for later.
Glad to see you too. I still post armed citizen stories on the blog, don't have as much time to post them on here anymore, but someone (often marktwain) takes care of that and then I ping. I guess one of these days I'll have to bequeath that list, but it will be a while.
Family reunions will be odd...
Can we still talk to librarians and teachers?
;-) (just kidding!!!)
Seen it before. Always a good idea to re-watch it. Excellent legal advice.
Highly recommended bump.
Martha Stewart should have watched this video. She would have never gone to prison.
((((PING)))) for later viewing.
Care to share your story?
marktwain does a great job!!
All the best to you...
This has been posted many times here. Good video.
Ping for later.
And Scooter Libby...
Case is still ongoing, so probably not for several months.
I know it goes against everything you believe, but this is RIGHT. Don't ever talk to police when you are the object or possible object of the investigation. I personally have broken that advice several times because as an ex-attorney I know how to do it and I still suffer for it any time I have done it.
good stuff.
Here is my CHL, here is my ID and where is my lawyer........can I have a Diet Dr Pepper while I wait, where is the bathroom ? Hows yer family, how bout that ball game last week !!
If ya have to be wordy nervous say nothing while ya flap yer gums !
Be respectful of the police they have a tough job and 99.9% are fine citizens and professional officers of the law. But, remember, they are the chief witness for the state in any criminal prosecution and they are trained to get you to say things that will incriminate you. That's their job. So... stay out of trouble. But, when stopped or arrested or accused, get yourself a good criminal lawyer before making any statements... Nothing new here.
Yeah, FR's search function is useless anymore.
Good info.
I have to take issue, their job is not that tough. I'd do it in a second if I could get along with the so many that are A-holes.
I've always liked the Chris Rock video, How Not to Get Your A$$ Kicked by the Police
WARNING: If you are offended by bad language, then don't watch it.
I understand your feelings. But.. the Thin Blue Line is all that separates us from the madness of those who want to kill us because we are productive citizens and pay taxes and give the government its AAA credit rating. Don't alienate the police. But, if accused, call your lawyer before you say a word...
bump for later...
Thanks. I caught this a while back and downloaded the video so that I could show it to non-Internet savvy friends. He is very persuasive in his arguments.
geeze louise, is that guy on speed? He talks too fast....other than that, very interesting.
Self Ping for later.
...government by lawyers and nothing but liberaltarian lawyers' political parties. If you can't afford an attorney, a public attorney will walk by your cell and tell you how much time you're going to get. ...any of you seen the movie, "Sin City?" Exaggerated/cartoon-like parts aside, some jurisdictions are really that filthy. That's why I quit that line of work for good after the Academy and a few months of patrolling, often without backup (especially weekend overnights), then moved.
...good advice in the videos for those of us who can afford to take advantage of it.
Not a Chris Rock fan but watched this a while back...very funny stuff......"If the police have to chase you, they are bring a big case of ass kicking with them"
Its all we have to work with and cops are good. Bad guys are bad. I'll take the cops any day. But, be careful what you say!
Dang. Looks like I am the rube on this thread. I agree with this mans advice. Sounds very practical. However, I did not use it, was a suspect in a shooting, talked to the police, and was never charged. Just testified at the trial for about 30 minutes. However, I did not know I was a suspect until a couple of months after initially talking to the police. FWIW.
Okay, honest question... I'm just about through with the first video and I'm wondering what the difference between this and the "Don't snitch" code. According to Mr. Duane, no matter what you say, it can and will probably be used in some way against you if there's any leverage point so don't say anything. Doesn't that equate to don't snitch?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
THanks for the links.
I wish all my profs were that good in college....
"Don't Snitch" means don't tell the police about the activities of others or yourself - but you can talk to them about any other matter you wish.
This, which is much smarter, says that the only thing you should say to the police is "I want my lawyer" even if you are not a suspect or person of interest - unless you are giving a witness statement.
>>But.. the Thin Blue Line is all that separates us from the madness of those who want to kill us because we are productive citizens and pay taxes and give the government its AAA credit rating.
No, it isn't. I am reasonably well armed. I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Etc.
Read later bump
"Don't Talk to Cops" is about not saying what you know about what you were involved in.
"Don't Snitch" is all about not saying what you know about what others were involved in; "others" usually being gangsta wannabes, drug runners, small-time thieves, vandals, illegal aliens, and the like.
Highly recommend "not talking to the cops if ever you're personally involved in an "incident."
Highly recommend snitching anytime it'll actually help get the scum off the streets.
Thanks for the clarity.

21-23 November 2014, Üsküdar-İstanbul
Üsküdar Municipality is going to hold, in line with the demands of the public opinion and scientists, the 8th Üsküdar Symposium. With its fabric on culture, art and architecture; historical geography; tangible features; strategic location; demography; socio-cultural structure and historical depth, Üsküdar shelters an accumulation that not much city may claim to have. Artistic, scientific and cultural activities that build a life bridge between the past and the future of the city that would answer the needs of the society are found among the privileged targets of the municipal administration who works with the understanding of "municipalism caring the culture".
Beyond being an intellectual activity, locating the rich historical legacy of Üsküdar and bringing them up to day is of vital importance from the point of designing the future. The Üsküdar Symposiums held so far today have provided the occurrence of a rich literature. Published thanks to these symposiums, "The Üsküdar Corpus" composed of approximately 8.000 pages and 12 volumes has been presented to the service of both the residents of Üsküdar and the researchers. However, when the accumulation of Üsküdar is taken into account, it is clear that there is a need for more scientific activity and symposium in order to enrich this literature. 8th Üsküdar Symposium would be one of the important steps taken for the realization of this target.
Along with the scientific sessions, there would be various activities such as concerts, expositions, movies, panels and sightseeing tours which would present sequences of the city and the country to the lecturers, residents of Üsküdar and to the guests.
We wish to meet in a symposium which would warm up by different tastes, colors, voices and traces; besides its scientific substance.
With respects and greetings
The general titles are determined according to the advices and suggestions made during previous symposiums:
APPLICATION INFORMATION 1. Symposium dates: 21-23 November 2014 2. Final date for submission of abstracts: 15 August 2014 3. 2nd call for the confirmed applications: 1 September 2014 4. All proposals and abstracts should not be longer than 200-300 words.
5. The language of the Symposium is Turkish, English and Arabic.
6. The applications should be made via website of the Symposium and proposals and abstracts should be sent by e-mail.
7. All applications will be accepted upon the evaluation of Scientific Board.
8. Accommodation and transportation costs of the accepted participants will be covered.
9. The papers deemed for publication by Scientific Board would be paid royalty.

Outside their own circles, they're mostly unknown — and certainly not referred to as Victim No. … But other child sex-abuse victims across Pennsylvania are just as entitled to justice as those whose accusations were heard in the sensational trials of a former college football coach and a high-ranking Catholic Church official.
Many of the other victims have also suffered in silence for decades, often unable to admit to themselves the horror of being abused as a child or teen. And if they did decide to come forward, it would likely be too late under the state's criminal and civil statutes.

IT WAS such a tough and ugly little swine that locals let it pass into extinction. But the pugnacious Shetland pig - scourge of lambs, landowners and local produce - is set to make a return to the islands for the first time in more than 100 years.
Beginning this spring, a reconstructed model of the Shetland pig, or grice, will allow visitors at the Shetland Museum to see what the beast would have looked like when it existed for centuries on the islands.
It's not a pretty sight.
Short, squat, with a mohawk of bristled hair running down its spine, the grice was a primitive domesticated pig that became extinct after locals on the island were introduced to plumper and more docile species.
But for centuries before that, grice had the run of the islands in the summer and were free to take up their favourite activities - goring their 4in tusks into lambs and sheep, digging up pasture lands in search of worms and terrifying livestock. The creatures would then spend ill-tempered winters in the home of local crofters.
"They were too tough and too unruly for their own good," said Dr Ian Tait, curator at the Shetland Museum, who oversaw the taxidermy reconstruction.
"For the locals it was just something they were used to. The big change came in the early 19th century, when new domesticated breeds were brought to the islands. It wasn't long before grice were bred out of existence."
No photographic evidence of the grice exists. In order to reconstruct the animal, historians had to rely on written descriptions by visitors to the islands dating back to the 18th century.
"There were a fair degree of informed accounts from travellers writing about the animal - usually in a disparaging way," Dr Tait said.
While the islands are known for many unique and beautiful species - the Shetland pony, for example - the grice has been reconstructed because it represents an important legacy, according to Dr Tait.

Melanie Griffith in Rehab
Melanie Griffith, 43, said in a written statement released yesterday -- signed, "With love, Melanie" -- that she has entered a hospital for treatment of a drug problem. "My doctor has referred me to the Daniel Freeman Hospital to step down from the prescribed medication that I have been taking for a neck injury," she said. The "Working Girl" Oscar nominee, whose husband is Antonio Banderas (her fourth marriage, after she married Don Johnson twice), did not specify the nature or ramifications of the injury, the type of medication or how long she has been on it. "I appreciate everyone's concern and I'm sure that you will respect my and my family's privacy." In the late '70s and early '80s, reported PEOPLE, Griffith was addicted to drugs and alcohol, which made her persona non grata with movie studios. In 1980, she suffered a broken leg and arm when she was hit by a car while she was crossing Sunset Blvd. -- but her doctor said that if she hadn't been drunk she probably would have been killed. In 1988 she checked into the Hazelton Clinic for rehab. A hospital spokeswoman would not comment to Reuters on Griffith's current treatment, other than to note that patients at the nonprofit Catholic facility in the beach section of Los Angeles usually follow a 12-step program that includes time devoted to fellowship and reading.

Samuel Francis Smith
Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:31 AM
Instead of translating the words from a tune in a German school songbook, theological student Samuel Francis Smith made up his own and set them to the melody of the British national anthem "God Save The Queen." We know the song as "My Country 'Tis Of Thee."

John Nash was a prodigy. A star of the already prestigious Princeton and MIT mathematics departments in the 1950s, Nash was known for his ability to penetrate and solve "deep problems" -- those thought virtually unsolvable by his peers. His greatest contribution came with his advancement of game theory that revolutionized economics. A professor in his 20s, he was a leader in his field, a recognized genius.
And then his life and career collapsed. In 1959, at the age of 30, Nash had a schizophrenic breakdown that saw him disappear from the world of mathematics. He lost his job, his wife, and, seemingly, his sanity.
Sylvia Nasar's detailed biography of the man, his achievements, and his descent into mental illness is as affectionate towards its subject as it is probing into the often oddly parallel worlds of academia and mental hospitals, genius and madness.
Nasar stays focused on the life of Nash but manages to bring to it insights into the fine line between ill and well. Notably, her behind-the-scenes look at the Nobel Prize committee's consideration of Nash's work and their trepidation at awarding their prestigious prize to a "madman" is an interesting discussion.
Ultimately, the story has a bizarre and happy ending. At 66, Nash inexplicably recovered from his illness, returned to academia, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for economics. (Greg Sewell)
