Dynamic Rugs
DYNAMIC RUGS was started in 1994 as a broker business in containers. In 1997 it was decided to turn this partnership into a full service rug importing company, built to service the independent home furnishings retailers in the United States. Since then the scope of the company has changed with our warehouse now supplying rugs from India, China, Turkey in addition to Romania and Belgium to dealers in USA, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. We also now provide customized products and programs to service the larger retail chains in North America. Still, the main focus of the company remains the same, and is based on the three principals of service, value, and fashion to our customers.

CalTrans is installing about 55,000 wick drains to a depth of as much as 80 feet in the northern segment of the new Highway 101 bypass around Willits. Wick drains were invented in the 1930s and have been in widespread use for certain types of construction around the world since the 1970s.
CalTrans uses them extensively in construction projects built on heavy clay soils to speed up the time it takes for the road base to settle, according to CalTrans Transportation Engineer Ben Barnes. "They are used quite a bit in the Bay Area. They were used on the Bay Bridge in the eastern approach. There has been no effect on the ground water level where they have been used."
Wick drains are more appropriately named prefabricated vertical drains because they are not real wicks.
Engineers in the 1920s found they could shorten the time it took for the ground to stabilize under a new structure, especially when building on clay soils, by drilling a series of holes and packing the holes with sand. These holes were drilled into the earth spaced every few feet and were connected with French drains. They were then covered with a calculated amount of fill. The weight of the fill squeezed some of the water out of the soil under the fill area and into the adjacent dirt. A close geometrical pattern of sand drains meant water being squeezed from the soil only had to travel a few feet through the dense clay to escape rather than through many yards of clay.
In the 1930s engineers discovered small strips of corrugated cardboard had a similar effect and could be installed more cheaply than sand drains and the "wick drain" was born.
The "wick drain" or PVDs proposed for the Willits project are 80 feet long, four inches wide and 1/8 inches thick. At its heart is a 3.75 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick ribbed plastic sheet with the ribs forming ¼ inch wide channels running the full 80 feet length of the drain. It is covered with geotechnical fabric sleeve to prevent dirt from clogging the drain channels. Nearly 90 years later wick drains still resemble a long cardboard strip.
The Willits drains will be driven about 80 feet deep into the earth five feet apart, says Barnes. The thin drain sheets are pushed into the soft clay by a long metal wedge or mandrel driven into the soil to the depth needed. The mandrel is removed from the hole leaving the drain in place. The tops of the drain sheets are cut off a few feet above grade and the machine moves over five feet and drives the next one.
After all the drains are installed in an area the drain tops are usually tied into a horizontal drain which acts as a French drain. The horizontal drain will mainly prevent the drains from developing a vacuum, says Barnes. The fill material is then piled on top of the drain grid to the desired depth.
In the north segment of the Willits bypass the maximum fill height is 30 feet. The fill will generate pressure of about 25 pounds per square inch. Engineers calculate, based on soil borings in this area it could take between two and 10 years for the soil to settle and stabilize naturally under the weight of the new fill. Without the drains, water in the middle of the 40 foot wide roadbed would be forced to travel as much as 20 feet when being squeezed under the new fill.
By using the proposed grid of wick drains the settling time can be reduced to six months, according to Barnes. Depending upon soil density and other characteristics engineers can increase the drain spacing or decrease it to achieve the desired settling time.
Some area residents have expressed concerns to area politicians about the amount of water that will be flowing from the drains. "I have seldom seen any water draining out the top of the drains," says Barnes, "not much water at all."
When the soils are well draining this is not a problem, in heavy clay soils this can be problematic. The drains reduce the travel to 2.5 feet. Within the soils at the north end of the bypass, the soil is not a solid mass but is thick layers of heavy clay interspersed with thin layers of sand. The drains help connect the sand layers underneath the new highway and allow the water to move under the pressure of the new fill and be redistributed to an area outside the fill zone.
No drains are proposed in the southern sector because soil borings there indicate the natural settling time ranges from one to nine months, says Barnes.
The one to nine month range is within normal construction parameters and no vertical drains are going to be used in that sector and the ground will be allowed to settle naturally.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"First of all, I'm NOT an ultra-runner. In fact, I don't particularly *like* to run at all, but it's good, convenient, and much-needed exercise. So when I run, I want some cushioning, need some stability, and also want my shoes to weigh next to nothing. Impossible, right? Until I met these guys, I thought it was! They've saved me from at least 6 sprained ankles and provide an astonishing amount of traction in slippery conditions. I even like the tongue design and the laces. I think they run a little big in the toe box, but I'm sure that's the idea for distance runners. Once you get them tied comfortably, you don't even have to think about them on your run. And if you're like me and don't really *want* to be running anyway, these shoes won't give you any excuse to turn around early. :-)"

"I mostly run OCR, so I wear special shoes for those, but in the last year, I have started doing team trail runs, and needed a shoe designed for trails (sans mud, obstacles and rope climbs) These were recommended to me, by an excellent source, so I gave them a try - and I LOVE them. I am 43 years old and have never been able to understand the minimal shoe movement. I need support, comfort and cushioning out there, and these have them in spades. The lugs are great for the trails, but do not become unwieldy on flat surfaces like some trail shoes do. I am concerned that it looks like they might be discontinuing these...If so, I hope there is something AMAZING in the pipeline, because as far as I am concerned, these need NO improvement."

There are different routes by which a project can get to the design group. Perhaps a company genius has an "aha" moment: "Wouldn't it be great if we could produce a widget that no office, factory, or home could do without?
One of the great advantages of 3D visualizations is that they are a way for designers and engineers to illustrate their ideas to each other and to all key stakeholders without having to interpret a pile of sketches. Once the concept is agreed upon, they can use the 3D virtual model to communicate their ideas to nontechnical personnel.

WHO'S COUNTING?: Few magazine franchises are better recognized than People's 50 Most Beautiful People, so when its Spanish-language version, now in its 11th year of doing its own 50 Más Bellos, added a 51st, it raised eyebrows. Particularly noteworthy was that said 51st is Beyoncé Knowles, who has been reaching out to the Latino market with Spanish language singles and collaborations with major stars. But not everyone was pleased at her appearance on the list and on the magazine's cover — one of several bloggers to weigh in, LatinGossip.com, scolded People En Español managing editor Peter Castro by name: "Bad mistake, Peter. Don't be a pawn in someone's marketing strategy. Let's not have this happen again."
There was nary a controversy in sight, of course, at the gala celebrating the 50 on Wednesday evening, which drew 16 of the beautiful, including Sara Ramirez of "Grey's Anatomy" and Ana Ortiz of "Ugly Betty." — I.C.

When technology fuels creativity
After years of cutting analog tape with a razor blade, I assembled my first digital audio workstation during the stone age of computer editing in 1991. This was the Turtle Beach 56K system, running on a 386 PC with Windows 3.1. At a total cost of $6,500, it was less expensive than, but quite comparable to, Digidesign's Sound Tools (the primitive precursor to Pro Tools), which ran on a Mac. Both were 16-bit, hardware-based machines using largely destructive editing and clunky playlists to assemble audio clips. Both stored audio on SCSI drives costing more than $2,000 per gigabyte. Neither was immune to crashes. Neither always worked the way it was supposed to, yet both saw plenty of professional work in the early 1990s.
By 1994, I had exhausted the capabilities of my first DAW, and Turtle Beach, in an increasingly familiar business cycle, was getting out of the workstation business. Casting around for a better system, I chanced upon the Microsound DAW from Micro Technologies Unlimited (MTU). Its 32-bit internal architecture, totally non-destructive operation and free-form editing paradigm all seemed unique in that era, and, to my ears, sonically superior. I made the difficult business decision to spend $12,500 for my first turnkey, hardware-based MTU box.
Fast forward to 2002. I had spent eight years creating radio shows, editing and mastering CDs and putting together soundtracks for long-form TV documentaries and commercials on the Microsound system. Never once had I lost a file or seen the system crash, and it still sounded great. Somewhere along the way, however, support and upgrades, which were initially fabulous, dried up. MTU did not have a large enough customer base or deep enough pockets to keep up with the changes in the pro audio market, and had to turn its attention elsewhere. The features I now needed to work efficiently — plug-ins, multiple file formats, surround support — would never be part of this otherwise flawless system, and it was becoming useless without them.
The challenge of finding a new editing and production environment was daunting, especially because I had not dealt with a serious software learning curve in eight years. Luckily, the world of computer digital audio had been busy while I was away, and, after several months of research, I settled on a pair of native software packages (Steinberg's Nuendo and Wavelab) that more than met my needs. What I learned during that process and during the following four years should be useful and heartening if you are interested in taking the plunge.
The state of the DAW
Support and longevity are key issues. The "faster, better, cheaper" pressure that has driven so many digital audio products into oblivion is still at work, but the marketplace has served to stabilize many of the more venerable players. Part of this process has been the absorption of successful software developers by large, well-established companies. Among others, Sony has taken in Sonic Foundry, Adobe bought Cool Edit Pro, Yamaha purchased Steinberg, Avid merged with Digidesign and Apple purchased Logic. Virtually every other company left standing now seems solid. The result is a strong field of software developers that are in direct competition with each other for price, power, features and support.
Better support, however, still requires cost efficiency in this competitive atmosphere, and does not necessarily imply personal contact. Good manuals, well organized FAQ, forums and e-mail interactions will be your primary resources, because talking to a human on the phone, with a few exceptions, will probably require a credit card. Like everything else now, support is driven almost entirely by the economy of using the Internet.
With this system in place, you may find yourself downloading software, drivers and upgrades frequently, and you will have to deal with any associated security issues. These concerns lead many pros to keep their workstations offline permanently, and use separate business computers for downloads and Web communications. If you must use your DAW computer for your Internet connection, realize that your audio software may not run properly when the anti-virus software is activated.

Phocuswright's China Consumer Travel Report provides a comprehensive profile of Chinese travelers' attitudes and behavior throughout the travel lifecycle. Key metrics include frequency and duration of trips (both domestic and international), travel spend and travel component purchases, and the impact of social media and the emerging mobile platform on travel-related activities.

Japan ceded its leadership of the Asia Pacific travel market to China in 2012, and it will remain the regional runner-up for the foreseeable future. But as the country makes slow, steady progress toward recovery from its losses during the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the unique characteristics of its travel market - partly mature, partly developing - will continue to attract attention from global online travel agencies and hoteliers.

By Kevin Kovac, World of Outlaws Late Model Series P.R. Director
(Attica, OH) Traditionally a home for open-wheel racing, the high-banked, one-third-mile oval will become a full-fender haven on Wednesday night (July 25) when the World of Outlaws Late Model Series makes its first-ever visit. World Auto Parts of Huron & Cleveland will present the evening's 40-lap, $7,000-to-win event, which is being touted as the biggest dirt Late Model show in the history of Attica Raceway Park."We normally have about three or four Sunoco American Late Model Series races a year," said Rex LeJeune, the operations manager of Attica Raceway Park. "We usually get a great field of cars for every show, so we thought it might be time to run a few more Late Model races." With ARP already the host of a World of Outlaws Sprint Car event in 2007, it was a natural fit for the track to add the World of Outlaws Late Model Series to its schedule as well. Serving as the opener of the well-known national Late Model tour's four-race 'National Interstate Speedweek' was a bonus that gives the inaugural event a little more cache.
"We think this race will be one of the most exciting events in the 20- year of Attica Raceway Park," said LeJeune.The star-studded field of dirt Late Model racers expected for Wednesday's action is what has fans talking. The pit area will be filled with more talent than any dirt Late Model event has ever attracted to Attica.Points leader Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., will lead the WoO LMS contingent to Attica. He holds a slim 32-point lead on Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., who finished second in weekend series events at Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway and Eriez Speedway in Hammett, Pa.Other WoO LMS travelers expected include Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa.; Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., who won his second feature of the season on Friday night at Virginia Motor Speedway; Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who enters Wednesday's program riding a two-race win streak; Rick Eckert of York, Pa.; Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky.; Rookie of the Year contenders Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., and Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill.; and Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, Ill., whose four wins in 2007 is tied with Frank for the most on the tour.Returning to the WoO LMS for a special appearance at Attica will be 2004 tour champion Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tenn., who has never before competed at the central Ohio track. He has two big-time WoO LMS victories this season – the $50,000 Circle K Colossal 100 at The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., and the $30,000 Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa.Other featured drivers at Attica will be the 'Million Dollar Man' Donnie Moran of Dresden, Ohio, and Steve Casebolt of Richmond, Ind., who won last month's UMP DIRTcar Racing-sanctioned $100,000 Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
A strong group of drivers have announced plans to make Attica their first stop in an assault on the entire National Interstate Speedweek.
The list includes Moran; Jeep Van Wormer of Pinconning, Mich., who won two Sunoco ALMS events at Attica last year; Bart Hartman of Zanesville, Ohio; Steve Shaver of Vienna, W.Va.; Aaron Scott of Newark, Ohio; Mike Balzano of Parkersburg, W.Va.; Brady Smith of Solon Springs, Wis.; Robbie Blair of Titusville, Pa.; and Chad Ruhlman of Bemus Point, N.Y.
One driver who will get plenty of attention is Duane Chamberlain of Richmond, Ind., who swept a pair of ALMS events on June 22 at Attica.Drivers and teams from the Buckeye State will be attracted to the event by the incentive program made available to them by National Interstate Insurance, the Richfield, Ohio-headquartered company that is the title sponsor of the WoO LMS Speedweek activities.The three highest-finishing Ohio-based drivers or teams in each Speedweek event will receive bonuses of $500, $300 and $200, respectively, for their efforts, and an additional $1,000 bonus will be presented to the Ohio-based driver or team that finishes highest in the Speedweek points standings.In addition, all drivers who are not ranked among the top 12 in the current WoO LMS points standings and have never won a WoO LMS A-Main will be eligible to collect the WoO LMS 'Bonus Bucks' at Attica. A $500 check goes to the highest-finishing driver who fits the criteria. Attica Raceway Park's pit gates will open at 4 p.m. and grandstand gates at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, with racing at 8 p.m. The dirt Late Models will be the only division on the program.Adult general admission is $25, with students (11-15) $15 and kids 10 and under admitted free. Pit passes cost $35.For more information, call the track office at 419-680-5606 or visit atticaracewaypark.com.

This is Part II of an interview with UN Foundation's Director of Millennium Development Goals Initiatives Anita Sharma. Read Part I of the interview to learn about Every Woman Every Child, an initiative launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to spur progression the MDGs related to maternal and children's health.
What role can online movements and social media play in advancing the MDGs and Every Woman Every Child?
There are several answers to that. The first is influencing the United States and this is me [referring to the] UN Foundation as opposed to just Every Woman Every Child. There is a major awareness-raising role that still needs to happen, both with the general American public as well as the congressional and administrative leadership. We have to tell people what this effort is, why it matters and why they should care. Social media could and is starting to play a very important role by connecting people, sharing information and making it very easy for people to contact their lawmakers to say, 'We think this is very important.' [Follow Every Woman Every Child at @unfewec.]
The second part is not only in the United States. You can use [social media] to share information, get better informed and then undertake advocacy, for example, toward the U.S. government, which has made a major commitment for the Global Health Initiative. That is a five-year initiative to scale up results for women and for maternal and child health and family planning…For example, you could use social media to commend the U.S. government for [passing the birth control mandate] and say, 'And by the way, I think you should be doing the same for family planning globally and supporting these programs.'
I think about the blackout undertaken by prominent websites in protest of SOPA/PIPA. When it's something that everybody gets rallied around, you can connect on it and see real results. I wonder what you can do to apply that momentum to an issue that really does affect everyone but people aren't as willing to talk about.
I think it's what you said. It's how you connect to why. Everybody understands it's so important but isn't exactly sure how to affect the change. For Every Woman Every Child to really be successful it has to be embraced by everybody. It can't necessarily be the United States telling the government of Malawi how they should be implementing their programs. That is for them to decide. But it is also for the people of Malawi to know that they can hold their government accountable if their government is saying, 'We are making health services free for everybody,' and then women in the villages go to the clinic and there is either no clinic or the clinic is never open or there is no medicine there.
You've said that the results are happening, but not at the pace you need. How does that affect what you're going to do between now and 2015?
We have to continue the momentum…And it is really easy to stall the momentum, especially when you are facing tough economic times, people are having to make hard choices about where they put their resources, [and] there are other competing issues of attention. In terms of how you generate interest, Every Woman Every Child is two years old, so it's not necessarily the shiny, new thing. The way we do it is, one, we have to bring in new partners and new networks and reach out to the private sector. We have to pick up the pace in terms of innovation and that's how you can scale up…change in a really exponential way. By that, there have been some really great advances on health, [for example], how you use your cell phone to transfer diagnostics so that a midwife or community health worker in the rural areas can transmit information. Innovation may also help to bring down costs and hopefully that will allow for big advances. And obviously advances in science. If indeed these immunizations work, we could see malaria be radically reduced, for example. You can't necessarily wait around for the medicinal cure-all, but I think there are ways.
As we think about 2015, that is going to be another area where people are going to be re-energized because 2015 comes and goes and the need is still there. We haven't eliminated extreme poverty and achieved all of the MDGs. So there will be something else, a new framework that will need to be created. And how groups engage, the type of framework, the goals that are involved – that is a real opportunity for people to use their voices to say, 'We care about this, we do believe.' Even though it sounds impossible, we do believe we can get to zero. If you are in Somalia, you [can have a child that] lives to be six years old and a woman doesn't have to risk her life giving birth. These things are possible. When people set the goal for 2015 [in 2000], they thought, 'Wow, we have got 15 years.' Now the clock is ticking, and there is that sense of urgency that will force us to be ever more vigilant and engaged.

Life in a
Blu Home
Thoughtful design, the latest technology and expert craftsmanship shape every detail that goes into building a Blu home. These details add up to a holistic experience that is both seen and felt beyond what traditional construction homes offer. Blu Homes provide a completely new, financially smarter, well-balanced way to live.
High QualityInvestment
We developed our proprietary factory-built system to maintain the highest quality control over the materials we use and keep costs down. This leads to transparent, fixed pricing which eliminates the old model of general contractor estimates and change orders. We work with you to stay on budget, no surprises, throughout the process.
Increasing Value
All Blu homes are built to leading green and energy efficiency ratings. Green rated homes result in higher resale value, an average 9% price premium to sale price, versus comparable homes.
Lower Energy Costs
Up to 50% lower monthly operating costs, lower maintenance, and lower cost of ownership saves an average of $7000+ in energy costs over 10 years.
Extensive Warranties
Only Blu Homes come with an extensive warranty package that includes 1 year limited site construction, 3 year limited module, 5 year limited module structural, and the manufacturers' warranties on all fixtures and appliances. We also have a dedicated customer service team to help homeowners care for their investment.
One of the beauties is that they include everything so you don't feel like you're getting nickel and dimed to death like you do in a normal construction project. It's a totally different approach to home construction which is a lot less stressful and a lot more honest.
Blu Homeowner, Vashon Island
We're constantly researching the latest building technology and beyond, even applying aerospace tech from MIT to engineer our homes. Unlike stick-built homes, we're able to build to exacting standards in our climate controlled factory – resulting in highly modern, highly efficient, precision-crafted, smarter homes.
Core Strength
Our unique 100% recyclable steel-reinforced frames are more durable than traditional 2 x 4 wood frames in hurricanes, seismic activity, snow zones and coastal areas. They also allow us to reduce material use and waste in construction.
Recyclable Steel
Soaring Ceilings
The strength of our steel frames reduces the need for load bearing walls and allows for open, interconnected spatial design throughout your home.
Tech Suite
We provide ongoing research on best-in-class products, and partner with high-end tech brands to incorporate the latest upgrades for every room of your house like wireless speakers and LED lights that keep energy costs down.
Premium LED lighting will fill any room with soft, warm light at a fraction of the energy cost of a traditional bulb.

Take a mind-blowing drive across the Arctic Circle with the star of the History Channel's hit series, Ice Road Truckers
The Arctic Circle is heavily endowed with natural resources. Locating the abundance of natural gas, diamonds, and gold is relatively easy. Extracting and transporting the bounty is another matter.
For most of the year, airplanes provide the only access to this region. But for two months temperatures reach 70 below, and lakes, ponds, and portions of the Arctic Ocean freeze to create floating ice roads. During that brief window an elite group of truckers performs one of the world's deadliest jobs: hauling supplies across the frozen highways. These men are featured in History Channel's Ice Road Truckers. With 3.4 million weekly viewers, it's the top-rated reality series on cable television—and Hugh Rowland is its star.
Known as "The Polar Bear"—a reference to his legendary stamina, bearish attitude, and prowess on the ice—Rowland is the king of the ice road truckers. In On Thin Ice, this self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie takes readers to a place few people have ever been: inside the cab and the mind of a matter-of-fact daredevil. From the first snowstorm to the final thaw, this pulse-pounding book follows Rowland's journey to the edge of endurance and back. It's an extraordinary look at an extreme life.

Upon being fired from "Miami Ink" last year, tattoo artist Kat Von D allegedly signed a photograph addressed to her former boss, Ami James, and drew a swastika and a flaming Star of David on it. Subtle, no?
TMZ has obtained the photograph in question, a headshot of Kat that reads, "Burn in hell Jewbag." No one witnessed Kat write the message, but Chris Garver, another tattoo artist on "Miami Ink," tells TMZ Kat personally handed him the photo.
Kat's spinoff show, "LA Ink," premiered a month later.
When contacted about the photo, Ami told TMZ he wasn't as offended by the photo as he was by the indifference toward it, saying, "What is more devastating to me, and much more shameful is when people ignore something like this for the sake of the money or self-interest. That is the real 'punch in the gut.'"
TLC gave TMZ this statement: "A publicity photo was brought to the network's attention eight months ago that contained extraordinarily offensive language. A full investigation was immediately conducted to determine whether anyone associated with the network was involved. Kat vehemently denied authoring the text and after completing the investigation, it was determined that insufficient evidence existed to conclude that she had. Therefore, no disciplinary action was taken. The network always takes these matters seriously and follows what we believe to be an appropriate course of action as dictated by the circumstances and available information."
Kat's personal publicist issued this statement: "The recent accusation of a publicity photo of me with offensive and anti-semitic comments and graphics allegedly written by me is completely false and unfounded, and clearly a forgery. This was already proven many months ago to be 100 percent untrue. I always have been, and will continue to be an advocate for tolerance of all races, religions and ways of life."

Of all the different forms of woodturning, I find the most delight in creating turned lidded boxes. The satisfying snap of a well fit lid as it closes, the beauty of the shape and the wood combined with the usefulness of a lidded container just do it for me. Turning a lidded box is a demanding project, but anyone with a few bowls and some spindle work under their belt can produce these wonderful objects.

David's preparations for the temple. (1-5) David's instructions to Solomon. (6-16) The prices commanded to assist. (17-19)
Verses 1-5 On occasion of the terrible judgment inflicted on Israel for the sin of David, God pointed out the place where he would have the temple built; upon which, David was excited to make preparations for the great work. David must not build, but he would do all he could; he prepared abundantly before his death. What our hands find to do for God, and our souls, and those round us, let us do it with all our might, before our death; for after death there is no device nor working. And when the Lord refuses to employ us in those services which we desired, we must not be discouraged or idle, but do what we can, though in a humbler sphere.
Verses 6-16 David gives Solomon the reason why he should build the temple. Because God named him. Nothing is more powerful to engage us in any service for God, than to know that we are appointed thereto. Because he would have leisure and opportunity to do it. He should have peace and quietness. Where God gives rest, he expects work. Because God had promised to establish his kingdom. God's gracious promises should quicken and strengthen our religious service. David delivered to Solomon an account of the vast preparations he had made for this building; not from pride and vain-glory, but to encourage Solomon to engage cheerfully in the great work. He must not think, by building the temple, to purchase a dispensation to sin; on the contrary, his doing that would not be accepted, if he did not take heed to fulfil the statutes of the Lord. In our spiritual work, as well as in our spiritual warfare, we have need of courage and resolution.
Verses 17-19 Whatever is done towards rendering the word of God generally known and attended to, is like bringing a stone, or an ingot of gold, towards erecting the temple. This should encourage us when we grieve that we do not see more fruit of our labours; much good may appear after our death, which we never thought of. Let us not then be weary of well doing. The work is in the hands of the Prince of peace. As he, the Author and Finisher of the work, is pleased to employ us as his instruments, let us arise and be doing, encouraging and helping one another; working by his rule, after his example, in dependence on his grace, assured that he will be with us, and that our labour shall not be in vain in the Lord.
1 Chronicles 22:1-5 . DAVID PREPARES FOR BUILDING THE TEMPLE.
1. David said, This is the home of the Lord God--By the miraculous sign of fire from heaven, and perhaps other intimations, David understood it to be the will of God that the national place of worship should be fixed there, and he forthwith proceeded to make preparations for the erection of the temple on that spot.
2. David commanded to gather together the strangers--partly the descendants of the old Canaanites ( 2 Chronicles 8:7-10 ), from whom was exacted a tribute of bond service, and partly war captives ( 2 Chronicles 2:7 ), reserved for the great work he contemplated.
1 Chronicles 22:6-19 . HE INSTRUCTS SOLOMON.
6. Then he called for Solomon . . . and charged him--The earnestness and solemnity of this address creates an impression that it was given a little before the old king's decease. He unfolded his great and long cherished plan, enjoined the building of God's house as a sacred duty on him as his son and successor, and described the resources that were at command for carrying on the work. The vast amount of personal property he had accumulated in the precious metals [ 1 Chronicles 22:14 ] must have been spoil taken from the people he had conquered, and the cities he had sacked.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden used four Bibles when they took their official oaths on Sunday and ceremonial oaths on Monday. The Bibles have historical significance, both personally and politically.
"The Robinson Family Bible:" This is the Bible the president used on Sunday, for the official swearing in. "The Bible was a gift from the First Lady's father, Fraser Robinson III, to his mother, LaVaughn Delores Robinson on Mother's Day in 1958. Mrs. Robinson was the first African American woman manager of a Moody Bible Institute's bookstore and she used this Bible regularly."
The Lincoln Bible: One of two Bibles Obama used on Monday, this was used by President Abraham Lincoln at his first Inauguration. Obama chose it for his first swearing-in four years ago. "The Lincoln Bible is part of the collections of the Library of Congress and was originally purchased by William Thomas Carroll, Clerk of the Supreme Court, for use during Lincoln's swearing-in ceremony on March 4, 1861. The Bible itself is bound in burgundy velvet with a gold-washed white metal rim around the three outside edges of both covers, and all of its edges are heavily gilded."
"The King Bible:" The other Bible Obama used Monday, it was the civil rights leaders's "travelling Bible." "An avid reader who was constantly on the road, Dr. King typically traveled with a selection of books that included this Bible. It was used for inspiration and preparing sermons and speeches, including during Dr. King's time as pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama."
"The Biden Family Bible:" Vice President Joe Biden took the oath on this one. It is "five inches thick, has a Celtic cross on the cover and has been in the Biden family since 1893.
"He used it every time he was sworn in as a U.S. Senator and when he was sworn in as Vice President in 2009. His son Beau used it when he was sworn in as Delaware's attorney general."

Historically black and proud | At Spelman, women's soccer pushes beyond expectation
Spelman's Rabi Jamar defends versus Agnes Scott College of Decatur, Georgia, 6 Sept 06. Spelman defeated their Atlanta-area rivals for the first time last season in a conference tournament semifinal. (Sports Information Department, Spelman College)
Atlanta | As soccer tacticians do, Spelman College coach Philmore George speaks of building a team from the back, using combination play to instill belief in the collective. It makes sense, therefore, that the co-captains in George's fourth season, which begins Sept 1, are defenders: seniors Ashley Hamilton and Rabiah "Rabi" Jamar.
Together they not only have led the Spelman Jaguars from the back but the spread of women's soccer into new territories in America's fragmented demographic. The Spelman experience also shows how, even in a country in which women's soccer stands as the cultural equal (or better) of the men's game, women's presence as competitors in team sport remains difficult for a male-dominated mainstream media to comprehend.
George and his co-captains, who were guests on the Aug 21 podcast, build on this metaphor of creating possibilities from the relative anonymity of service at the back of the park. Says George:
I want to teach them … how to be a team person, because I think the passion, the discipline, the communication—these are life skills. And I'm trying to develop them while they're playing a team sport. … Scoring goals is nice, but for me—create. I believe a lot of people don't give enough respect to the work people do who don't score goals. A lot of times all you see is the limelight to the forwards, but the goalkeeper does a great job keeping us in games, defenders closing down key attackers, midfielders the link going back and forth. … I think it's very important that I express the work ethic.
As a side representing America's oldest historically black college for women, Spelman makes a potentially consciousness-altering statement as it steps onto the field against NCAA Division III opponents, primarily fellow liberal-arts institutions in the southern tier. Although National Collegiate Athletic Administration figures state that just 2.5 percent of intercollegiate soccer players are African American women, roughly a dozen historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have created women's teams in the past decade, from Howard University in Washington, DC, to Mississippi Valley State in Itta Bena.
The low participation rate supports the belief that soccer, unlike basketball and track and field, has yet to become a popular choice for black women. Yet George addresses the larger challenge, which is increasing the numbers in higher education. "Can we get more African Americans to go to college?" he asks. "That has a big impact" in shrinking the pool of black players in soccer and other sports. Jamar also suggests a more mundane, less racially freighted reason for the lack of interest: "Whenever we ask people, 'Do you want to come to our game?' they're like, 'Well, it's kind of boring.' " But, she adds, the perceived slowness of the sport may turn off African American parents seeking scholarships for their children in high-profile college basketball and athletics programs.
From left, Ashley Hamilton, coach Philmore George and Rabi Jamar, on Aug 21.
For their part, both Hamilton and Jamar say they took to the game naturally at elementary-school age. They followed the course for young players, learning at recreation level and building toward commitment to year-round traveling teams while simultaneously playing in high school. Hamilton's talents grew in one of the most soccer-saturated areas in the United States, in Plano, Texas, outside Dallas. She competed at Plano East Senior High School, among America's largest public high schools, with an athletic pedigree that includes graduates Lance Armstrong and Lee Nguyen of PSV Eindhoven and the U.S. national team.
Jamar attended a similarly well-regarded school in Pittsburgh, Schenley High School, which counts Andy Warhol as an alumnus. (Warhol was not a footballer, but he did execute well-known silk-screen portraits of Pelé.) Jamar felt the need to reduce her time commitment to soccer during secondary school.
"I had no idea what my interests were outside of soccer," she says. "I didn't know what I would major in. If I had a knee injury and I was out, what would I do with my life? It came down to the point I really wanted to find out what I was interested in and what I want to go to school for."
The two have helped build a Spelman program that entered Division III competition in 2002. With results on the field slow to come—early multiple-goal losses, especially to regional rival Agnes Scott College in Decatur, remain fresh in memory—the side improved gradually with a growing pool of players with club-soccer experience. Practices became more competitive. Attendance at Herndon Stadium, the previous home of the WUSA's Atlanta Beat, grew from handfuls to some 100—George confesses a need for more boosterism—within a cavernous facility constructed for the 1996 Olympic Games, then occupied by the Morris Brown gridiron team.
Then Spelman notched a breakthrough result last fall when it defeated Agnes Scott, 2–1, in a semifinal at the Great South Athletic Conference tournament. Spelman recovered from an early 0–1 deficit with goals in the 29th and 47th minutes. It lost the final, which would have gained it a place in the national Division III tournament, 0–5 to Maryville of Tennessee. Hamilton remembers:
It was really exciting. I don't think anyone expected it. I think we gained a lot of respect that game. … I don't think the finals were necessarily in our head. We were really just trying to beat Agnes Scott, because that's one of our biggest rivals. They're right up the street from us, and we had never beaten them before. … We got a little notch under our belt.
Following eight victories, two draws and five losses in 2006, George predicts additional surprises for the coming season.
Spelman College campus, 2005. Founders of the Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary, the school's original name, viewed education as a "liberating force" for blacks 20 years after emancipation.
It is unsurprising, however, that these new faces in women's soccer should come to the fore on the fields of American higher education. Colleges have helped nurture women's soccer in the United States since the late 19th century, when women played as part of physical-education classes at schools in the Northeast. By 1924, the women's athletic department at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, promoted regular teams and intramural games. Intercollegiate matches, however, were banned in most schools. Not until 1975 did Brown University in Rhode Island create a varsity women's soccer program.
Given its founding in 1881 in the basement of a church planted by a Boston mission society, Spelman College has long-standing ties to the New England tradition of women's colleges and the classical liberal curriculum. Said benefactor Thomas Jefferson Morgan in "What Spelman Seminary Stands For" (1901):
Spelman Seminary is aiming to do, as far as practicable, for the Negro woman precisely what is being done for white women by Smith, Vassar, Wellesley, and other institutions of Christian learning, which for decades have been contributing most liberally and potently to their preparation, not only for the homely duties of life, but for the larger sphere of activity to which the age calls them, thus fitting them to add their quota to the great work of human betterment.
"[T]he responsibility to be borne by the women at Spelman was an awesome one …," writes Johnetta Cross Brazzell. "[T]he women bore the weight of the entire race. If they failed, a whole people failed" (38). Community service and responsibility has remained an emphasis at the college. Hamilton says that, partly due to urging from her coach, she has helped bring soccer to urban neighborhoods as a volunteer with Soccer in the Streets (see Jul 7 as well as the Black Athlete Sports Network interview with SITS executive director Jill Robbins, Jul 26). Spelman students have been active in protesting misogynistic images of women in rap videos and, almost inevitably, became enveloped in the controversy surrounding talk-radio host Don Imus in April.
Imus's racist remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team before the 2007 national championship again helped place Spelman in the spotlight. CNN cameras visited a "Violence against Women" seminar to record students' comment, only to heavily edit the video such that the women appeared to be endorsing use of the degrading stereotype in their own speech. A short online documentary deconstructs the ravages of white media in reporting the Imus reaction ("CNN Misrepresents Spelman College Students on Don Imus").
Jamar, in addressing the Imus controversy, suggests that lingering on the insult might pigeonhole black women, especially black women athletes, still further. "I soaked it in, heard it—offended—and moved on," she says.
Preconceived ideas founder on seeing Jamar and Spelman teammates do what they do on the pitch. The expectation is that black women do not play soccer and do not play it well—an idea challenged recently at the youth level by Guardian blogger and Philadelphia Weekly writer Steven Wells in his feature on the Anderson Monarchs ("Bend It Like Janiah," Philadelphia Weekly, Jul 4). But enough "non-standard" expressions of what it means to be a women's footballer exist to challenge the expectation.
Johnetta Cross Brazzell, "Bricks without Straw: Missionary-Sponsored Black Higher Education in the Post-Emancipation Era," Journal of Higher Education 63 (Jan/Feb 1992): 26–49; Andrei S. Markovits and Steven L. Hellerman, "Women's Soccer in the United States: Yet Another American 'Exceptionalism,' " in Soccer, Women, Sexual Liberation: Kicking Off a New Era, ed. Fan Hong and J. A. Mangan, Sport in the Global Society (London and Portland, Oreg.: Frank Cass, 2004), 14–29.
The 2007 season concluded in similar fashion to the previous year. That is, Spelman (11-7-1 overall, 8-3-1 GSAC) defeated Agnes Scott (12-7-1, 8-3-1), 2–1, in the conference semifinals on Nov 2. Spelman lost the final 0–3 to Maryville the following day.
We attended the first meeting of the 2007 season on Sept 21, with the two sides concluding a hotly contested 110-minute derby match at 0–0. (Spelman defeated ASC 1–0, in overtime, in a second meeting on Oct 27.) Neither side could earn a breakthrough, although Spelman striker Tyra Weaver left-footed a goal in the 27th minute that was judged offside, and twice Spelman players missed close chances in the second 10-minute overtime.
"I hope that's a wake-up call that that went in," an Agnes Scott player yelled after the offside goal in a match that took place at Gellerstedt Field at Agnes Scott, although Spelman was the home team. Vandalism to the water system at Herndon Stadium in southeast Atlanta, where Spelman had played its games, brought about the shift in location.
Physical challenges were the order of the day. Three Agnes Scott players were injured; two had to be substituted. Agnes Scott coach Joe Bergin earned a caution in the second half for protesting one Spelman challenge. "That's terrible!" he yelled at the referee. "You can book me all you want!"
Division III women's soccer affords the opportunity to hear such dissent and encouragement from the sidelines. Also in the second half, a supporter yelled to Agnes Scott junior striker Ashley Schmidt, "Ashley, your tag's sticking out!" Schmidt checked the tag at the back of her shorts and shrugged.

It's a family affair at St. Armands Circle's INfluence Men, where the buying decisions of sisters Liz and Sam Murray are (shall we say) influenced by the men in their lives. "Sam's husband, Brad Beebe, is on the trendy side of conservative," says Liz, who is engaged to Brad's best friend, Chris Butlin. "Chris is much more conservative, and our brother, Michael Murray, is trendy."
"They cover a broad range of styles, so we know something will sell in the store if one of them would wear it," Sam explains. A former fashion stylist in L.A., Liz says customers at their INfluence women's boutique have been asking for a store for men. "The time was right for brands like J. Brand, Vince and Paperbacks—lines no one else has in Sarasota. Men here want to be comfortable. They're not too flashy, but they're a bit daring with color," Liz concludes.
INfluence Men, 478 John Ringling Blvd. (941) 706-2653.
What bold looks are the men of Sarasota wearing? "Colored denims—red, purple and green—and we were really shocked by how well Original Paperbacks cargo shorts are selling in vivid colors from teal to orange," Sam says.
What's hot? "Patterned socks designed in California by Richer Poorer. It's a huge trend and all ages are wearing them: with business suits, skate boards, and jeans rolled up to show the socks," Liz reports.
Liz's wedding plans? "Our wedding will be on the beach at the Longboat Key Club in October. We're from Michigan and have lots of family coming. We've planned a whole weekend for them: the beach, dinner at Shore, O'Leary's on Friday night," Liz explains.
What does a stylist wear on her wedding day? "I wanted my first dress to be classic and timeless. It's by Monique Lhuillier and it's between a mermaid and a princess. My second dress is what people would expect: It has a feathered tutu skirt," Liz says.

The diverse backgrounds of committee members bring different perspectives to the issue of safety.
"It's just such a unique thing because we have so many different views," said school counselor Michele Dunkle. "Officer [David] Michaels can give the safety view. I can give the teacher perspective and a parent perspective."
Michaels is Prospect's school resource officer.
Dunkle serves on the committee both as a parent and as a school employee.
"I was encouraged that we're looking to improve things ... instead of just continuing with the way things were," Dunkle said.
Safe schools officer Scotty Hernandez also serves on the committee.
Although Dunkle said the current plan addresses her concerns as a mother, Principal Steve Montgomery said there is always room for improvement.
"I just don't want years down the road for somebody to say we could have been a little bit safer," Montgomery said.
Safety committee members have already completed a safety assessment of the school and offered suggestions.
As a result of the committee's work, only the main entrance to Prospect remains unlocked. All other entrances to the school's buildings remain locked. Since the two school buildings at Prospect are not connected, this meant changing the way the school goes about its day-to-day protocol.
"We've had to make some adjustments, do a few things differently to make that happen, but everyone is on board with that. [We are] pretty much thankful that we've done it," Montgomery said.
Changing classroom locks to ensure doors can be locked from the inside and replacing glass in exterior doors with a stronger grade are also in the works.
While the committee's first concerns are within the school, Montgomery said ways to improve outside safety also being explored. One suggestion would be a privacy fence to completely surround the school.
"This will be an ongoing committee. ... This will shape our school for years and years to come," Montgomery said.
The committee of about a dozen members isn't looking for more funding to make improvements. Instead, the committee is partnering with the PTO to raise money and collect donations.
All proceeds from this year's PTO auction will go toward improving safety at the school. The school has already received a $1,000 donation for proposed projects.
Four parents of Prospect students serve on the committee.
Changes being made have been presented to the students' parents. More information about potential changes is being presented to parents through Parent Teacher Organization meetings. Many are already excited about what is being done at the school. Prospect Elementary SRO Michaels is also supportive of the committee. Montgomery said the SRO has also given input on things that could further improve safety at the school.
The idea for the safety committee began with a call from a grandparent, who had been a law enforcement officer.
Montgomery said on the day of the tragic events in Newtown, Conn., a grandparent called the school asking to review the school's safety plan with the principal.
The principal decided that it might be good to have others review the plan as well.
"I put together some parents, a couple of teachers, some business leaders and we met to discuss what we wanted to do around the school," Montgomery said.
Dunkle said having the committee has brought a unified approach to school safety.
"Another thing that really spurred our committee is our school sits so close to [Interstate 75]. So there was a lot of concern about that," Montgomery said.
School safety has also been a focus for staff development and students drills at Prospect. The staff development day allowed teachers to give input on the school's safety plan, Montgomery said.
The school recently completed a safety week to refresh students on safety drills. Students will also participate in a different drill each week to help teachers and students become more comfortable with them.
