It was a long and convoluted road that brought me here. Well, yes and no. I was born into a jewelry family. My great-grandfather began working for British jewelry company, Alexander Clark, and acquired their China operations in the late 1800's and transformed the company from a diamond merchant and metalsmithing business into the finest jewelry store in China. Alexander Clark Company (Shanghai), Ltd. (安康洋行) took up the entire first floor of the infamous Sassoon House, which later became the Peace Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai and we were the sole purveyors of famous international jewelry brands such as Cartier, Lalique, Rolex, Mikimoto, Vacheron Constantin, etc. Shanghai was a chic and prosperous international port at the time and we were responsible for making its inhabitants glisten.
My grandfather, Jack Poh, took over Alexander Clark from his father, and the advertisement for Rolex watches below was from the 1940's during grandpa's time at the helm. My father, Johnson Poh, used to visit the store as a child and his job was to wind all the grandfather clocks after school; he still recalls the elation he felt from hearing over forty grandfather clocks chime together simultaneously. It was assumed that my father would succeed my grandfather when the time came but that would never come to pass as the store was closed as a result of the Cultural Revolution.
My parents moved to NYC (oh yes, I am a New Yorker through and through. I almost called this blog "Bagels and Diamonds" but then I thought, "Choking hazard!") after I was born and my dad took up an apprenticeship at a jewelry manufacturing company in 1982. I remember going up to his bench as a toddler and standing on tiptoes to marvel at all the sparkly gems and the gold dust that accumulated. I was told never to touch anything on his bench and I always obeyed. By 1987, he started his own manufacturing company on 47th street in the Diamond District. Whenever I went to the workshop to visit him I was given the very important job of sweeping up the gold dust from the jewelers benches and scouring the floor for diamonds that may have popped out of the jewelers' tweezers during the manufacturing process. Even now when you visit my father's company and go into the workshop at the end of the day you will see the most junior apprentice sweeping up the gold dust from the other master jewelers' benches–although no one can beat me when it comes to looking for floor diamonds (I once found a 3.88 carat blue sapphire on the pavement on 47th street and I wasn't even trying).
Needless to say, with such a pedigree I developed a special understanding of and relationship with jewelry early on. At the age of five I used to design futuristic jewelry–I think it was a combination of the fashion of the 80's and my obsession with The Jetsons–a cartoon set in the future–that influenced my design aesthetic at the time. It was probably around that same age that my father gifted me with my first diamond ring. An adorable little gold flower with a diamond in its center. I swooned over it and wore it to dinner in. There was much frolicking and gleeful hand swinging, and by the end of the night the ring was nowhere to be found. My clammy little five-year old fingers were once again unadorned. Oh how I cried! Heartbreak at such an early age.
Naturally, one would think I went into the jewelry business straight away. Nope, not this product of an Asian tiger mom! I was bound for law school. So yes, Cornell Law, big firm in NYC and an even bigger firm in Shanghai (my other city–I might have about 4 cities). Alas, hours upon hours, years upon years of venture capital financings, private equity deals and mergers meant that I was practically living in my office with a drawer full of stilettos, another containing a cute outfit for nights out, a spare suit and a black-tie gown constantly hanging on the back of my office door. But alas after about 6 years I decided to give it all up to pursue my true calling.
I went off and got my G.D. (Graduate Diamonds) from the Gemological Institute of America, became creative director of my father's company and launched Jean & Alex, a jewelry atelier that works directly with clients to design and create custom pieces of jewelry that reflect their individual aesthetics, preferences, and lifestyle. Client after client seemed to be telling me the same thing: that it is incredibly difficult and intimidating to shop for jewelry and everything out there looks the same. I soon recognized that there were inefficiencies in the jewelry industry that not only affected my clients, but also jewelry designers and brands themselves. As a result, after a few years of running and designing for the atelier I felt compelled to try to solve the larger problem–that jewelry has lost its meaning. Thus began Swoonery.com, a luxury online marketplace for fine jewelry that helps customers discover and purchase exquisitely crafted, unique jewelry that they connect with.
This blog is my love letter to the Universe and my great big thank you to my family and friends for their love and support. It amazes me that all my paths and past experiences have led me to exactly where I need and want to be. This is my way of paying it forward by sharing my journey so that others can learn from my mistakes, be inspired by my wins, and see what being a female entrepreneur in the world of luxury actually entails. I encourage other female entrepreneurs to build what they feel is lacking in the world. Here's to your fempire!
Big Kiss and Bigger Diamonds,

On Oct 21, 1967, the destroyer Eilat was sunk by Egyptian missile boats opposite Port-Said. The sailors deserted the ship and while they were in the water another missile appeared, missing the destroyer and exploding in the water. This underwater explosion resulted in immersion-blast injuries to many of the sailors who survived the direct hit.
Blast injuries were described in the early 1920's.1 Some experience with the clinical syndrome, the pathology, and pathophysiology was gained by the Allies and the Germans in World War II. The injury is rare during peace time and there have been no publications on underwater-blast injuries since the end of World War II.
This paper deals with 32 blast-injured sailors of the destroyer Eilat who were still in hospital during the second week after the injury. Subserosal hemorrhage or tears of the bowel or both proven at laparotomy were accepted as proof of intraabdominal

How would you go about finding the conjugacy classes of the nonabelian group of order 21, $G:=\left\langle x,y | x^7=e=y^3, y^{-1}xy=x^2\right\rangle$?
The group has a normal Sylow $7$-subgroup, generated by $x$, and it is clear from the way $y$ acts on $x$ that the conjugacy relation is generated by $x^i\sim x^{2i}$: this gives two conjugacy classes of elements of order $7$.
Using the Sylow theorems for $p=3$ and the fact that a Sylow $3$-subgroup cannot be normal (for otherwise the group would be abelian) you see that there is $1$ conjugacy class of $7$ cyclic subgroups of order $3$. They must be simply transitively permuted by the Sylow $7$-subgroup, so they give us 2 more conjugacy classes of elements of order three.
Finally, there's the class of $1$. In all, there are five classes then, which we can describe as follows: the classes of $1$, $y$, $y^2$, $x$, $x^3$.
We can check with GAP:
If $G$ is a nonabelian group of order $21$, then $G$ has trivial center. Otherwise $G/Z(G)$ would be cyclic and $G$ would be abelian.
Thus any element of order $3$ has its centralizer of order $3$ and thus has $7$ elements in its conjugacy class. By the same argument, an element of order $7$ has $3$ elements in its conjugacy class.
Let $a$ and $b$ be the number of conjugacy classes of order $3$ and $7$, respectively. By the class equation, $21 = 1 + 7a + 3b$. This implies that $a = b = 2$, because $a$ and $b$ are $\geq 1$ by Cauchy's theorem. Therefore there are five conjugacy classes: one for the identity, two containing elements of order $3$ and two containing elements of order $7$.
Since $y^{-1}xy = x^2$, we get $y^{-2}xy^2 = y^{-1}x^2y = x^4$. Therefore the conjugacy class of $x$ is $\{x, x^2, x^4\}$. The rest of the elements of order $7$ must be in the other conjugacy class, which is $\{x^3, x^5, x^6\}$.
We notice that $xyx^{-1} = yx$, $x^2yx^{-2} = yx^2$ and in general $x^jyx^{-j} = yx^{j}$. Thus in the two remaining conjugacy classes, one of them has all the elements of the form $yx^j$ and the other one all the elements of the form $y^2x^j$.
We can in fact generalize this situation as follows: Please see this question for reference
Notice that the non-abelian group of order=$pq$ with $q \equiv 1 \mod{p}$ satisfies the conditions there, while that subgroup$A$ is given by a normal subgroup of order=$q$.
Here order of the group is $21= 3 \times 7$ . It is easy to see $3$ divides $7-1=6$. Thus, we have (upto isomorphism)two groups of order $21$. One of them is cyclic $\mathbb{Z}_{21}$ and other is non-abelian. This non-abelian is generated by two elements say $a$ and $b$ such that $|a|=3$ and $|b|=7$ and $ba=ab^r$ where $r$ is not congruent to $1$ modulo $7$ and $r^3\equiv 1 (mod 7)$. Defining conjugacy it is easy to see that there are five congugate classses and center has only the identity element. Moreover, class equation is $1+3+3+7+7\ldots$ :)

Is Kate Middleton having a baby girl?
Posted March 6th, 2013 @ 11:48am
Could there be a little princess on the way for Kate Middleton and Prince William? It sounds like she's dropped a big hint!
According to U.S. Weekly, she was given a white teddy bear by a local when she visited the National Fishing Heritage Centre in England this week. Accepting the cuddly toy, she said "Thank you, I'll take that for my d--." The Dutchess cut herself off mid-sentence.
Was she just about to say DAUGHTER?!
U.S. Magazine reports that Kate says she's "not telling" when asked the question, and after recently learning the sex of their baby, the royal couple has only told their parents.
Kate and Prince William will celebrate their second wedding anniversary next month.

Here I am: I just installed the plugin on my website and I want to build the sitemap (The sitemap wasn't built yet. Click here to build it the first time.). I have three WP installed. My host is Yahoo! SB.

2) the directory WP is installed: http://www.transport-expertise.org/en but I made it a subdomain, so the link is http://en.transport-expertise.org
3) the directory WP is installed: http://www.transport-expertise.org/fr but I made it a subdomain, so the link is http://fr.transport-expertise.org
When I click on "Click here to build it the first time", on both "en" and "fr" WP version, I get two different (but close) errors:
2) For the "en" subdomain, I get:
Not Found
The requested URL http:// was not found on this server.
3) For the "fr" subdomain, I get the Yahoo! 404:
Sorry, the page you requested was not found.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.
For both subdomains, WP General settings are set like this:
WordPress address (URL)= http://xx.transport-expertise.org
Blog address (URL)= http://xx.transport-expertise.org
Where "xx" is either "en" or "fr".
Does somebody would know how I could tell the plugin than the subdomain actually points to http://www.transport-expertise/xx because I think (but that can be something else?) this is what causes the problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Audio coding at low bitrates suffers from artifacts due to spectrum truncation. Typical audio codecs code multi-channel sources using transforms across the channels to remove redundancy such as middle (mid) - side (M/S) coding. At low bitrates, the spectrum of the coded channels is truncated and the spectrum of the channels with lower energy, such as the side channel, is truncated severely, sometimes entirely. This results in a muffled sound due to truncation of all coded channels beyond a certain frequency. It also results in a loss of spatial image even at low frequencies due to severe truncation of the side channel. Previously we have developed a low bitrate coding method to combat the loss of higher frequencies caused by spectrum truncation. In this paper, we present a novel low bitrate audio coding scheme to mitigate the loss of spatial image. Listening tests show that the combination of the two low bitrate coding methods results in a audio codec that can get good quality even at bitrates as low as 32 kbps for stereo content with low decoder complexity.

Police: Vandalism derailed train carsAugust 19,2013By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BETHEL — Police believe a vandal or vandals damaged two railroad cars which derailed both cars and a third railroad car on Saturday night and caused more than $30,000 in damage, according to Sgt. Eric Hudson, of the Vermont State Police.
In a press release, Hudson said the Vermont State Police from the Royalton barracks responded to a report of a train collision near the intersection of Route 12 and Route 107 in Bethel on Saturday around 10:50 p.m.
When troopers reached the scene, they found three grain cars on a side spur of the train tracks behind Green Mountain Feed. The grain cars appeared to have rolled through the end of the spur and derailed.
New England Central Railroad was contacted and a north bound freight train was stopped short of the village of Bethel so the crew could assess the safety of the tracks prior to proceeding north to St. Albans.
Rail maintenance crews responded and determined that someone had tampered with two loaded grain cars. The brake systems holding the cars in place had been disengaged.
The two cars, with a combined weight of more than 500,000 pounds, rolled from a position north of a third grain car and crashed into it. The force of the collision pushed the southernmost car through a stop and off the end of the rails.
The grain cars stopped short of an embankment at the back of a residential property.
Hudson said the incident could have had "catastrophic consequences" if the brakes on the third car were not engaged.
The car that was derailed was close to the main line of tracks. The tracks had to be evaluated for safety before regular rail traffic trains could resume.
This incident is being actively investigated as a felony vandalism case.
Hudson said there is an initial estimate that found the incident caused more than $30,000 in damage to a local business.
Police did not report any injuries as a result of the incident.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Vermont State Police at the Royalton barracks at 234-9933 or make a report online at http://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Berlino Disco
- Artists Kiki
- Release Date 2013-06-21
- Labels Bpitch Control
- Catalog BPC272
- Description Berlino Disco instantly brings to mind terms like Berghain, Panorama Bar, Watergate, Basic Channel, Detroit, minimal terms that Berlin-based BPC veteran Kiki has surely also become extremely familiar with. On his EP of this name, Kiki not only delivers a powerful tribute to the current Berlin sound the well-travelled and highly unconventional Finnish artist goes a step further and throws a couple of wide-eyed rave memories into the mix. Nothing's impossible on this EP! And that doesn't just apply to the title track. Dynamite also sounds both retro and entirely fresh: dirty, old-school analogue sounds driven relentlessly forwards by a cool electro-funk rhythm. A nod and a wink here to a certain Joey B. ... On the flip side Sinister launches straight into the action at a relaxed tempo but with plenty of force. Those who are into the classic house sound will love version 2. If you have a taste for a wild blend of styles, you can rave to the house piano and distorted strings to your heart's content. The nineties aren't over. Not by a long shot...

In questions like this one about using the Emacs Desktop options to arrange for a saved session to be re-loaded upon startup, it is explained how to reload buffers automatically on startup.
But what if you want to launch Emacs without re-loading any previous buffers and then after some time and after opening a few new buffers you then want to re-load all of the buffers from some previously save desktop session.
I expected there to be some command like
M-x desktop-load or something, but after a lot of Googling around the Emacs Desktop stuff I can't seem to find out how to do this.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania state lawmaker says it's an important victory that parks and forests officials will accept public comments on the terms of agreement to allow two natural-gas exploration companies to drill in Loyalsock State Forest.
Still, Rep. Rick Mirabito told the Williamsport Sun-Gazette on Wednesday that he wished the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources had agreed to accept comments for 30 days, rather than just 15.
DCNR officials say there's no deadline to come to terms.
DCNR says it doesn't own the subsurface rights on a 25,000-acre tract known as the Clarence Moore lands and cannot prevent Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum and Southwest Energy from drilling there. But officials say they hope to minimize the environmental damage.
Drilling opponents argue that the state has more power than it says to prevent the drilling.
DCNR .. may not own the "subsurface".... but they do own the "surface "... and they can prevent them from having " access".... upon it .
"But officials say they hope to minimize the environmental damage"
Isn't that nice of them! They're such good stewards of our land. And allowing the public to comment for a generous 15 days. My my my.
And kept no record of the comments...?
Another opportunity for energy progress that the environmentalist wackos want to impede.

Most of you who were born before the 90's should have definitely gone through the phase of playing the cartridge game console, Sega, Nintendo and the ever popular Playstation. To be frank, I never owned the latter three but I did owned the cartridge game console for a few years, until my family bought a computer.
I have to admit that I have never been a gamer nor love to spend my money on buying / playing games. Those days, it was like 1-game-per-month basis and it did sucked, back then. To those who are wondering on what a cartridge game console looks like, here is an example of a fucked up version of the Playstation, called Polystation.
Back then, the games comes in a cartridge and most of the time, there won't be one game in that thing, but it can go up to 100 in 1, 1000 in 1 and even 50,000 in 1. I was too dumb to realise at that time that most of the games are repeated as you browse page by page.
To refresh back our memories, here are some of the memorable games that I have played and all these will never be forgotten as they are the pioneers of all games.

In this paper we outline a new theoretical model of expert practice that identifies the importance of attentional skills. We report on a small-scale pilot study of the classroom practice of experienced teachers of mathematics based on this model, through which a method of articulating aspects of classroom practice has been developed. This study took place in England, where current policy in teacher education places considerable emphasis on lesson planning. Our study raises issues about the relationships between the different kinds of knowledge that we see as constituting expert practice.

There was a blogĀcarnival that lead to this post that I found really intersting. This is the opinion of a American living in KSA.
I'm A White American Girl
This isn't just a FYI statement or an 'in case you didn't know' it is a fact of my life that although doesn't make a difference in my day to day activities, I am no less reminded of on numerous occasions. And while I'm not really into defining what is 'white' I do believe that being 'white' impacts who you are, how you interact with the world, and how the world interacts with you. Notice that I did add in the cultural tag of "American" for my Americaness is far different in cultural influences than say my white British neighbor. However, even though our cultures are a bit different, she feeds her children sausages and crisps and I feed mine french fries and chicken nuggets, our whiteness brings about a certain privilege in the same foreign land we choose to live. And even with that it is my Muslim status that will separate us as well.
It is sort of odd when I look upon my white privilege card (we all have one in case you were wondering) which has been revoked in the US but replaced with another with a higher status in Saudi (and I'll note Bahrain as well). My white privilege is put into question in the US because I am a convert to Islam, but than because I am a convert it is more meaningful in the ME especially since I am white. It is a strange thing to ponder upon especially if you're anything like me in rejecting the notion of 'privileged' to any one particular race/ethnicity/tribe/culture of people. I would love nothing more than to rid my whole life of such notions yet I'm not only constantly faced with them but have found it beneficial to even use them if need be.
I should first point out that I, like many white people in America, never really consider my white status and the privilege which was extended to me because of it. It isn't something I had to give much thought to in my life because it didn't negatively affect me so why think about it? It wasn't that I was unaware that things are/were/will be different for those of color or of 'different' status than the too often accepted white norm. In fact I'd say I was more aware of them because my father was/is a racist, although he isn't 'as bad' as he used to be in that regard (that matters more or less depending what mean I'm using to measure 'bad' ). However as much as I would love to deny, it never had a direct negative impact on my life. Which is why when a black person tells their white friend "you'll never get it" I understand that yes they never will get it. Until they in some way, even by relation, become the 'other', but even then it is not fully understood.
Even considering that a white person may be extension become 'the other' it is only in relation to another person that is in their presence, it is subject to change when that person is no longer there. For example a white person married to a person of color or one that fits into the 'other' category (and that can be big category depending on circumstances) they may slightly understand the differences of how others relate to you when that spouse is present. When that spouse is no longer present and it just that one white individual than you once again become part of the larger privileged group who may be simply ignorant that your a temporary member.
After becoming a Muslim and a covering one at that things started to change drastically. I tended to become in a category all my own that is forever a lonely place to be in. Because even if I don't want to be here I'll be placed here by others and reminded every time that I am different even if it is in the slightest way. In America or while I'm in the company of full card carrying white privileged members it is more often than not with negative overtures, although not always outright. In order to fully understand this let me try to explain it with examples (we all love stories).
In America after I converted and covered I suddenly became obvious which I never was before. Even though I think I "Rock!" the whole room wouldn't stop in their tracts and just watch me enter, watch me walk by, watch me sit, watch my reactions, matter of fact they didn't watch me at all beyond the normal interaction. I was just another person, one of the larger group, that walked into a store for instance. As a covering Muslim walking into the same store I am watched, stared at, conversations stop, some even whisper, the looks oh the looks, I was the 'other' the one that stuck out. And while one could argue this should have been expected as I am obviously different and even such things can be tolerated, perhaps they can, it is the larger negative reactions that can't be tolerated.
There was what I would call "hijab-lash" which was when drivers in their cars did a double take so quick and fast I thought they were going to hurt their neck. There was laughing and pointing from the most ignorant of spectators but the worst drive by was when a bunch of teens in a car decided to make a sign with insults and hold it up to their window and laugh as they drove by. I remember that like it was yesterday and even Mr. Man who I was newly married to didn't quite get the insult of it all. "What was that?" he asked, although being a black Arab in America he didn't get what was going on.
However, we both understood three guys threatening us during a street fair in Rolla MO right after we were married. I don't know if it was their drinks going to their head but they thought my introduction to MO should include what idiots do that live there. I have to say that not all of my experiences in MO were like this and I do hope that they won't be like this when we move there. But the mid-west isn't as open to covering women as some parts of the world and add in that I'm a white woman with a black man and it really can get some KKK tinged blood boiling.
New Jersey isn't devoid of such moronic behavior either, although they aren't as small townish in attitude as MO and devoid of a minority population like some parts of MO. However it isn't high on the migration list of Muslims in America either. During a visit to my friends before we moved to Saudi my mother, three kids I had at the time and I went to a local mall. A small mall and while shopping I noticed a man being trailed along by a scantly dressed woman. When I mean scantly dressed I mean with a mini that would show the moon if she bent over the wrong way, the man with a wife beater type shirt on, looked like any regular blue collar worker in New Jersey, taking an interest in my presence. Evidently my shopping trip offended his senses of what is great about America and when we went to the parking lot screamed foul names at me telling me to 'go back to your own country'. He was angry and his lady barely able to hold him back in her too high heels looked embarrassed and wanted to rush him along.
With such experiences that are on my list of many it is no wonder I do have concern for taking my children back to the US. While I do believe that the wonderful people out number the ignorant, it is the ignorant that make a large impact on a covering woman's life. Especially when the wonderful people are more apt not to voice they are wonderful because they are simply going on about their days of normal interaction and why should they be called upon to do anything different. Sure some in total ignorance of the world may speak to me loudly as if comprehending English is a problem for me, I don't think the volume level makes quite a difference especially if I'm speaking clear, although grammatically incorrect, English. Others may assume I'm from another country originally and make such references in their conversations with me. I don't expect the stares to stop outright as for much of where I choose to travel and live in the US is not largely populated by Muslims especially covering Muslim women.
One would think coming to Saudi I'm suddenly in the 'normal' category, whatever that may be. And in a way that is true, for I'm of the majority of Muslims, my covering isn't an issue, unless someone thinks I should be covering more. The fact that I as a Muslim have common beliefs that factor into how I raise my children and live my life is totally understood although some might not think I'm conservative enough or religious enough. However there is still the fact that I'm white that separates me from the rest of the majority, even with a common diyn (religious belief).
At times the white factor has brought about privileges, I've written on this blog the difference of how Mr. Man is treated as a customer by staff in a store vs how I'm treated. At any time I can give Mr. Man a migraine by suggesting we stop at Sacco due to their blatant attitudes when it comes to serving an obvious black and or Arab man vs that of an obvious white western expatriate woman. What is even more interesting, if this were some social experiment and not Mr. Man's patience we are dealing with, is that these are, for the most part, Filipino men and foreigners themselves.
Now while some may rush to wait on me in a store my white Americaness can also be equated to $$ in the eyes of most shop keepers. At first many may assume I'm an Arab and speak to me in Arabic, often shocked that I'm not Syrian, or other light skinned Arab heritage because I cover my head. When that initial mistake of identity occurs and it is realized I am American than I become the expat money bag who will be over charged for even the smallest of products in any shop that doesn't have a listed price policy. For some this may seem like an ideal situation, a shop keeper may have a difficult time making ends meet and I present the opportunity to pay their months rent for the shop. But I'm being ripped off because I'm white and being American doesn't play a large role in any of this for my British neighbor will get the same white expat price I do. So it becomes a habit to say "How much is it?" and before the merchant considers to give me a price I include "I don't want the expat price because I'll bring my Saudi husband back for the real price".
In America most would see me and know that I'm Muslim, or at the very least different. I would have expected the same in Saudi, Bahrain or any other Muslim dominated country, but this isn't the case. I'm asked, all to often, if I'm Muslim or Islamic whatever the English ability is of the one asking. I don't answer right away as my brain has to react to the question I ask myself "isn't it obvious?" before I can answer. And this doesn't always happen with chance meetings of some curious individual who likes to chat with people in public, no I can be introduced to someone and sit and talk, even about religion, and I'll than be asked if I'm Muslim or not. It really is difficult for some to accept the fact that a white American woman actually converts.
There is the assumption that I converted for Mr. Man or after my marriage. I would be rich if I had a dollar each time I not only had to debunk this notion from a person I'm interacting with but had to also convince them by stating it several times. As I convert I have yet to meet one woman who actually stated to me "I converted for my husband" I have met many that have stated they converted in spite of their husbands, or much latter with no pressure or influence from their husbands but never for their husbands. Yet it is the standard assumption by Arabs and Muslims raised as one that women who convert do so for a man.
Being a Muslim for some 19 years doesn't mean I actually know this diyn either, not even the basics. I'm always being told about the basics, from wudhu, to prayer or how to fast properly. It is that my 19 years of having chose this diyn I'm somehow devoid of any knowledge, none have r considered that I possibly could know more than them on any given subject and sometimes I do. In Malaysia while on vacation I'll never forget as I sat in a tour bus along with other foreigners enjoying a vacation that two Gulf Arab women were talking and looking at me. Finally one mustered up enough courage to come and speak to me in her broken English "you are Muslim?" she asked and I smiled thinking the same thing I mentioned above and nodded as I said "Yes". She smiled a bit brighter and asked if I was American, I responded in the affirmative. She than proceeded to go into her bag and bring out a small Qur'an and hand it to me. I smiled and said thank you and she went off to her sit to talk to her friend. I looked over at my mother and said "I guess she thought I don't have one".
While her sentiments may have been sweet and she thought she was doing some good. In a small why I was a bit insulted for the assumption had to have been I don't have a Qur'an of my own. It is these types of assumptions that have me receiving constant basic information by Arab women even though some of them know I've been Muslim for quite a long time. Perhaps they do feel they are doing the right thing by informing me and don't quite grasp the concept that they actually have to assume I'm ignorant when they make their comments.
Amongst Saudi women there are other assumptions and feelings towards me as a white American woman who married a man from their own land. There is the ever common thought that we met in some haram way. Often times it is difficult for Saudi women to consider that we loose American women aren't all spread eagle waiting to entice their men with our charms as soon as they land. For others we tend to represent the women who have stolen men, from their cultures, that are open, progressive, well to do, educated, and something that they would have wanted. I often have to explain to women that we American women tend to marry these men at a time none of them would have considered them as a spouse. The difference being is that many American women marry with potential in mind while most Saudi women marry with one who is already established in mind.
In the midst of all of this there is also the notion to some, that because I'm a white American convert I'm somehow better than others as a Muslim, although in the same breath it could be assumed I don't know the diyn all that well. That I cover becomes a sign of courage and strength because I choose to do so even in the US and is a constant topic of conversation. When one adds in that 'white' is a sign of beauty in a brown world it becomes a bit more odd. Women spend thousands of riyals on bleaching creams, chemical peels an other concoctions to lighten their skin and one too many men stare at the white woman as she walks down the street, enters a store, or goes about her crazy day trying to manage her children while out in public.
One thing that is consistent for many foreign spouses of Saudi men is that we don't necessarily fit in anywhere. There are the in laws which brings about common in law differences that can be found in any marriage of two distinct cultures but it goes beyond that. We tend to give up our family, lives, and familiarity and trust in our husbands and our marriage and move off to a land completely opposite to our own. It can be a very lonely place because you soon find out that your race (white vs Arab), culture (American vs Saudi), and language (English vs Arabic) puts you at complete odds with the norm.
Being a white woman in the expatriate community gives me a different perspective on my world while I'm in Saudi (or Bahrain). I have a life much different than a Saudi woman on many levels, my children have different privileges, and my list of activities will vary depending on what I choose to participate in with the expatriate programs. It is often in such communities that women like myself, white and or American seek out other women of 'like mind' to mingle with and find some association to help keep us out of the lonely hole we sometimes find ourselves in. However when you're a white American girl that covers you're soon confronted with the realities that what put you at odds with your 'same kind' in the US carries on even when your continents away from US soil.
I was reminded of this recently when I was out with another white American woman who I consider a friend. Our husbands work together and we have known each other for a few years now and I have no problems going out and about with her for lunch, to the movies, or anything else we wish to do. She is a Christian conservative so we can agree on many social and family issues. We also find a common thinking when it comes to seeing a culture and country that is so different from our own in day to day life. So I must admit it was difficult for me to hear the words that reminded me that no matter how comfortable I am with her I am still on some level in the 'other' category for so many.
She was telling me about her friends, they go to bible study group with her and are part of the American woman's association in Bahrain and they get together often. They sounded like a fun bunch and she wondered if I would one day get together with everyone but being anti social I am reluctant due to my hang ups. In one conversation she was telling me how she told her friends all about me and they wanted to meet me they thought it would be fun. The exact phrase she used was "They want to meet a native". My brain digested that for a moment and I simply responded to the obvious fact that I'm not a 'native'. And she did note that she told her friends that "She isn't exactly a native". No not 'exactly'.
As much as I like my friend and I don't think she means any harm what so ever to me and she absolutely adores my children there is still a line that has been drawn. Now this may be a small line, something invisible upon first glance even, but something which will continue to distance me from other white American women even in a foreign land. That I, a foreigner with a US passport subject to the same foreign status as every other white American woman living here, will be viewed by some degree as a 'native' to a land that is not the one whose soil is born and whose cultural identity I have.
In a way I feel I'm privileged to be white and have these experiences. I have become aware of many things in the world that perhaps in any other way I would have been ignorant of. I hope that these experiences have caused me to grow, as a Muslim and as a member of this human race. However this privilege has kept me in a lonely spot in the world with very few to actually identify with and to be so totally comfortable with, that I can forget that in some way, however small, I am the in 'other' category (this is of course speaking outside of my family).
If you got this far you should reward yourself with some chocolate than grab a cup of something you enjoy, ignore all your responsiblities and check out Brooke's Blog Carnival on White Privilege and the Ummah

Won Falls Most in a Week as Importers Buy Dollars; Bonds Drop
The won slid the most in more than a week, reversing an earlier gain, on speculation importers bought dollars to take advantage of a two-day advance in South Korea's currency. Government bonds fell.
The nation's producer prices fell for a ninth straight month in June, declining 1.4 percent from a year earlier after a 2.6 percent drop in May, Bank of Korea said in a statement today. The greenback rose against most Asian currencies on concern the Federal Reserve will taper its bond-buying program that spurred the flow of funds to emerging markets. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is scheduled to testify on monetary policy before the House Financial Services Committee today.
"Importers must have pursued dollars, taking advantage of the won's gain, which reversed the earlier market," said Jude Noh, chief currency trader at Suhyup Bank in Seoul. "Offshore investors sold the won before Bernanke's testimony."
The currency weakened 0.3 percent, the biggest drop since July 8, to 1,121.57 per dollar in Seoul, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It earlier touched 1,114.06, the strongest level since June 7. One-month implied volatility, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, climbed 17 basis points, or 0.17 percentage point, to 8.26 percent.
Any U.S. exit from quantitative easing may prompt capital outflows from other nations and the Fed must carefully decide on the timing and pace of the tapering, Finance Minister Hyun Oh Seok said yesterday in Sejong.
The yield on the 2.75 percent government notes due June 2016 rose two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 2.89 percent, snapping a two-day drop, according to prices from Korea Exchange Inc.

Vernon: Of course Mark Cuban supports Clinton. He's a billionaire and Clinton is bought and paid for by him and his 1% cronies. The financial elites got tired of dealing with the #$%$ bible-thumper tea party droolers who have taken over the Republicans, so they've moved over to the Democrats and bought them at bargain prices. Hillary is a lying psycho Wall Street shill who has managed over the years to use her connections to avoid felony jail time, perfect for Mark Cuban.

With the 2012 trade deadline looming at the end of the month the Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays kicked things off in a huge way with a ten-player deal that sends starting pitcher J.A. Happ and relievers Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter to the Blue Jays.
In exchange, the Astros pick up big leaguers Francisco Cordero and Ben Francisco, along with a host of minor leaguers. Both Cordero and Francisco are secondary pieces in the big leagues at this point, but they can be useful to a rebuilding club like the Astros over the next couple of months. In addition, a hot seven to ten days could see them flipped again at the deadline; stranger things have happened.
On the minor league side of things, the Jays have sent right-handers Joe Musgrove (14th in pre-season Top 15) and Asher Wojciechowski, left-hander David Rollins and catcher Carlos Perez.
Musgrove was a first round pick of the Jays in 2011 and features a very physical 6-foot-5, 225 pound frame. He can run his fastball into the 92-94 range consistently and has flashed velocity as high as 97 mph at times. His curveball has potential to be a plus pitch down the line with tight, overhand break. His change-up is a work in progress but some scouts believe he shows enough feel for the pitch for it be average down the line. In just two outings for rookie-level Bluefield this year, Musgrove has allowed five hits over eight innings while striking out nine batters.
Wojciechowski was also a first-round pick of the Blue Jays, having come off the board in the supplemental round in 2010. A product of the Citadel, Wojciechowski was a hot name coming out of college, having shown mid-90s heat and dominating overall stuff throughout his junior year. As a pro, he has struggled at times and more and more scouts see him as a power-armed reliever. He has a large frame with plenty of strength and the potential for two plus pitches – fastball and slider – in a relief role.
The left-hander, David Rollins is a 22-year old Texas native that has been drafted four times, once by the Dodgers out of high school, twice by the Mariners out of junior college and then again by the Blue Jays out of San Jacinto College North. With an average frame, Rollins pumps a good sinking fastball in the 88-91 range and some scouts report he has touched 92 this year. Both his slider and change-up flash on occasion. He mixes his pitches well but is still learning to command his arsenal. At best, he has the profile of a back-end starter.
Carlos Perez is an interesting catching prospect – one of many in the Blue Jays system. While he doesn't have the incredible tools of Travis d'Arnaud or some other catchers, Perez still could have a solid big league future. He is a very sound player with a good feel for the game and enough across-the-board ability to contribute. He has the potential to be an above-average defender with an above-average arm and quick release. He makes easy contact with gap power and the potential to be an average hitter with 20+ doubles and 8-10 home runs a year at his peak.
The Astros also received a player to be named later from the Blue Jays and if/when that player is named, I will update the article to include some scouting notes on him.

When I started my genealogy research, there were several surprises waiting for me. One of them was the fact that my grandmother had three brothers. I knew of one brother, Great-Uncle J., but not of the other two. Further research showed me they both died during World War II.
My grandmother never talked about them and since I had no idea what exactly had happened, I was hesitant to ask about it. But a few weeks back, I was walking her home from the restaurant we'd eaten dinner at and we came upon an antique shop. There were several silver photograph frames in the window and my grandmother pointed to one of them that held an old photo of a group of children. She said that the boy dressed in a sailor suit looked a bit like her brother. I grabbed the opportunity and asked her: "you had three, didn't you?"
She not only answered affirmatively, but the story of their deaths came forth. Her sister's M.'s husband (then just boyfriend, if I understood my grandmother correctly) had contracted tuberculosis and infected the family. Her sister M., her sister J. and her three brothers all came down with the disease. And while her sisters and brother J. recovered, the other two succumbed to it, one dying a few years before the other, but both dying of this disease.
Another mystery solved, another story uncovered.

Abstract"The battlespace warfighter environment contains a large amount of constant critical information that needs to be processed and displayed. The level of information varies widely, from pilots, to theater commanders, to situations assessors, and to fieldarmy units. The battlespace environment is very sophisticated and has fast developing situations, leading to frequent encounters with novel situations that demand adaptive problem solving skills in its operators. This rapid development of the battlespaceposes a constant challenge to its operators who have to acquire knowledge of the equipment systems, understand critical information, and also gain expertise in identifying and responding to problems. Human information processing and performancehas not been completely utilized for solving real world problems. Fortunately, cognitive task analysis uses mental models, emphasizes cognition, analyzes expertise, evaluates knowledge for the whole job, and segments tasks based on skill. Cybernetproposes to develop a system to provide not only the capability of advanced battlespace information processing in complicated and stressful environments, but also the optimization of this information flow, allowing operators to interact in large complexsituations in an effective, efficient, and optimal manner. Furthermore, Cybernet will explore the development of intelligent agents to enable better information flow and display. The proposed technolo

I really like your beat, but your lyrics and flow sounds awful man. You don't sound like you have passion, you sound like you're half asleep. Also you keep dragging out words for way to many syllables, sounds awkward.
Still, like I said, your beat was pretty good, so kudos for that. I'd just work on your lyrics and more importantly your flow.

Teach me sensei D:
beatiful drawing but what type of pencil did you use? can it erase?
The mark on the end of the pencil isn't very clear, but I wonder if it's a soft B pencil? That would explain how she could go so dark with it. If that's the case, she may have used a harder pencil on the lighter areas to get that contrast she has.
I looks like she used some kind of shading pencil.

AbstractThe proposed innovation is a two-axis spin-dependent-tunneling (SDT) sensor which detects small magnetic signals for use in non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of defects in metallic materials and structures. The proposed SDT sensor offers several advantages for NDE eddy current detection methods: (1) High sensitivity. The ability to resolve fields of 10 nOe/root Hz or better, yet operate at room temperature, and have a broad band frequency response. (2) Two-axis magnetic field sensing. This allows vector determination of the magnetic signal in the plane of the detector. (3) Sensor arrays. Fabrication of the sensors uses silicon-based techniques, and therefore the sensors are small--roughly 2 mm on a side. Compact sensor arrays are possible and offer advantages for defect recognition and spacial determination without requiring the sensor to be scanned. Phase I will develop an innovative approach for fabricating a two-axis sensor on a single chip. The proposed sensor is suitable for many types of eddy current detection methods as well as suitable for position sensing. Phase II will use the sensor in the development of a sensing array for an eddy current NDE system.

Laurel Park Town Council approves permit for pool
Published: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 at 11:14 p.m.
LAUREL PARK -- A Somersby Park resident will have to take his objections concerning a neighbor's in-ground pool to Henderson County officials and a homeowner's association, Town Council said.
In other business
The Laurel Park Town Council also scheduled a special meeting for 10 a.m. March 21 at Town Hall for a work session on the Laurel Park sewer study.
Town Council approved a conditional-use permit by Thompson Properties to install a pool at 147 Flameleaf Lane in the Somersby Park subdivision. The action came at the board's regular meeting Tuesday in the Town Hall.
Laurel Park resident Gary Fitzgerald, who lives next door to the property owned by Guy Seuderi, told council members during a public hearing he is concerned about how the project could affect his property.
"This pool requires an 11-foot retaining wall because it's going to be built on a grade above the property," Fitzgerald said. "They will have to fill in to make it level."
Fitzgerald said he thinks a civil engineer should design the wall and inspect the site before the project goes forward.
"The pool is 15 feet off my property line which puts it in my front yard. I don't really want a pool in my front yard," he said.
Mayor Henry Johnson responded that the project meets the town's zoning requirements. He told Fitzgerald that any concerns regarding the building permit, inspections or the pool's aesthetics should be directed to the county inspections department and the Somersby Park Homeowners Association.
The town planning board recommended council approve the project before Tuesday's public hearing and council meeting.
"The pool as sited on the property meets the town's zoning requirement," Johnson said. "The building permit and inspection is done by the county -- they will require everything else to ensure that the structure meets state statutes. We're not in the business of enforcing private association rules. That's not our job."
John Thompson with Thompson Properties, the company in charge of the project, said he has received all the necessary permits from the county, and the project is in line with all state laws.
He said he appreciated Fitzgerald's concerns, but the neighbor's objections won't change anything about the project.
The pool is being constructed for Seuderi, a Laurel Park resident who lives in Florida for half the year. It is expected to be completed by summer, Thompson said.
