You need to fly for a concert abroad? And you're concerned about that long ride for your violin?
Your violin will be subject to potential vibrations and falls. It must therefore be protected in a resistant violin case and able to bear weight. We prefer rectangular cases that are easier to stow in luggage compartments.
Do not leave any element in free movement inside the case. And insert the rosin, the shoulder rest, the spare strings, etc. in closed pockets.
Even if the plane is pressurized, it is better to loosen the strings to avoid an overvoltage, even a breakage. At altitude, strings' tension can be accentuated and can damage the body of your instrument. This is one of the basic rules when travelling with a stringed instrument and it applies to both violins and guitars.
This can make you feel safe about your valuable instrument… To insure an instrument for a year is an option. However, make sure your policy covers your instrument not only in all types of transport, but also in all destinations. Very often, insurance companies do not provide coverage for instruments in all countries.
You never know what can happen at customs. It's better to have the invoice of your instrument to avoid any inconvenience. We have already read articles of musicians that got stuck at the customs because they were unable to prove that the instruments they were carrying belonged to them.
Aircraft cabins tend to be very dry and therefore poor in terms of humidity. Wood naturally contains a certain degree of humidity that changes in time. These humidity variations make the wood change. You have probably already observed after having rehearsed in backstage, then on stage: under different conditions, your violin has detuned because the wood is not the same… This is related to a probable change of temperature and/or humidity in the air. These changes in matter also apply to the 3Dvarius, which is made of 3D-printed resin. Resin reacts to changes in temperature too. By placing a humidifier in your case, you will maintain a certain humidity level. Remember to remove it on arrival, it may not be needed once you reach the ground.
Humidity is measured with a hydrometer and must be between 40 and 60%.
This is the first advice we give to any instrumentalist, even if we are aware that sometimes companies leave no other choice.
For safety reasons, it is better to avoid the hold to put any musical instrument in. Everyone knows how baggage that ends up in the hold are handled. They are often thrown from compartment to compartment, they are stacked on top of each other and undergo a lot of vibrations… The hold is the place to avoid!
In addition, after take-off, and at high altitude, temperatures are very low. And even if the hold is pressurized, it is not heated. A violin will therefore undergo significant temperature and humidity changes between take-off and landing. Sudden and significant temperature changes are not recommended for any musical instrument… Sudden changes can cause cracks on the body of your instrument.
However, the hold is the right place to carry ancillary equipment such as effect pedals. At 3Dvarius, we have invested in large roller sports bags with a hard shell. Our effect pedals are protected and stored in these bags. Do not put a padlock on your suitcase under no circumstance. By scanning it, controllers may want to check the contents of your suitcase. It must be said that small and medium boxes with electronic circuits and maybe some cables can only attract attention!
As mentioned above, most companies accept small musical instruments as hand luggage. Attention, we're talking about most of them. Some will simply refuse, and others will ask you to pay an additional fee. This is often the case for low-cost companies.
If you're travelling with a cello or a double bass, the size of the instrument is often too large. The musician is sometimes asked to book a second seat on which your instrument will be attached.
You will find these items on the airline's website. Measure the case of your instrument well and make sure everything is OK. Of course, if it exceeds a few centimeters, there shouldn't be a problem… In any case, we never saw a steward or a hostess grabbing a meter and measuring our violin cases!
How to make sure that your instrument can get boarded in the cabin with you?
Unfortunately, we don't have a magic potion to make sure that your violin will be able to board the cabin with you… However, here are some tips that we put into practice every time we travel.
We never buy a ticket before knowing the airline's practices about musical instruments. Of course, we compare prices. But before validating any payment, we make sure that no difficulty has been encountered in the past by a violinist.
We read and print the general conditions and the company FAQ about musical instruments. So, in case of problems, we have this item in hand. Maybe you think we're going too far?
Think again, this document has already saved the day. During a previous trip with Norwegian Airlines, one of the hostesses refused to let us ship because we were carrying violins as hand luggages. By showing her the document proving that the company was allowing violins as hand luggage, she could not say "no".
And yes, the FAQ or the terms and conditions may not be enough. So, we also write to the company for further confirmation and an additional proof. We also use the online chat of the company, and make a screenshot of the confirmation… You don't believe us? Well, again, think again, it has already been useful to us!
Each boarding is an extra stress you go through as you may be get the access to the cabin denied because of your instrument. So, pay a few extra dollars and prefer the tranquility of a direct flight!
All musicians have heard or read about a low-cost airline that refused to pick up a passenger travelling with a musical instrument… Yes, low-cost companies are the first ones to refuse musical instruments.
We put a special mention to EasyJet with which it is always a pain!
If you are on a long-haul ride, note that it will be easier to take your violin as a hand luggage. Long-haul planes are designed to carry a lot of weight and have slots to store instruments (including the captain's cabinet).
If you're on a short-distance flight, the plane will not be suitable, and it will be difficult to find a slot to store your violin, hence the refusal of some stewards and hostesses.
When it's too early in the morning, fewer people are travelling. And if people in the plane are fewer, there will be more slots for your instrument… It is therefore much easier to board with a violin as a hand luggage.
At check-in, and if the person in front of you seems to be understanding, let him/her know that you are travelling with a violin. That it is a fragile and expensive instrument, and that the hold is a risk that you just can't take.
Whenever possible, be the first one of the boarding queue: you will have plenty of time to rest once seated on the plane! 'Cause if you are the first one to board, you will also be the first to put your violin in one of the luggage compartments. And you will be sure to find a place for him to travel with you!
If you are within your rights, don't give up… We were threatened several times to get off the plane, but no way. With all evidences that we can travel with our violins in the cabin, we do not give in! And too bad if the plane gets delayed.
Why fight for something that is already lost… If the company refuses musical instruments in the cabin, it's not worth buying the ticket. Look for another company!
Where in the cabin can you put your violin?
That's it, you're in the cabin and the on-board crew have agreed that you can travel with your instrument! Now it must get sheltered to avoid any inconvenience.
Yes, it may sound silly but it's better to be able to keep an eye on your violin. A simple example: if someone opens the luggage compartment, it is better to be ready to react in case the person moves the case.
Always lay the box flat so that the instrument is not on the back.

The Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England have funded 16 pilot areas in England.
The Great Place scheme will enable cultural and heritage organisations to make a step-change in how they work together, and with other organisations in other sectors, in order that arts, culture and heritage contribute more to meeting local social and economic objectives.
The Boroughs of Barnsley and Rotherham are among the most deprived in England, but have the potential to become major visitor destinations and create economic growth and prosperity. This is thanks to some immensely important heritage in the villages of Elsecar and Wentworth and the National Lottery-funded Cooper Gallery in Barnsley and Clifton Park in Rotherham. Funding will allow the boroughs to work with deprived communities who were hit hard by the decline in traditional industries, increasing engagement culture, tackling social issues and using heritage stories to reignite a sense of local pride and ambition.
The local authorities want to bring about a 'cultural reimagining' of the two seaside towns. Building on recent National Lottery investment, including the HLF-funded Venetian Waterways in Great Yarmouth, funding will support the creation of a local cultural strategy, increase cultural education for children and young people to inspire a strong sense of place and local pride, and allow the local authority to attract visitors, using arts and heritage to drive economic growth.
National Lottery funding for Gloucester has improved parts of the town centre and paid for major work to the Cathedral. The City Council now has a vision to transform how historic buildings and outdoor spaces are used and viewed by local people, supporting those who live, work and play in the city to follow their cultural interests, passions and vocations. The aim is to devolve custodianship of culture from the city council to a new, diverse and active Gloucester Culture Trust. The trust will work to increase local engagement with arts and heritage to raise aspirations and improve wellbeing, particularly among young people.
Walthamstow has come a long way in recent years. Now, thanks to local ambition coupled with National Lottery funding for projects including the William Morris Gallery, local parks and a new wetlands habitat, the local authority wants to finish the job of putting Walthamstow firmly on the map. Working with partners, residents and businesses, the London Borough of Waltham Forest will celebrate and deepen understanding of the unique local heritage and cultural diversity. Putting arts and heritage at the heart of regeneration schemes and supporting local skills to enhance employment will give current and future residents a better quality of life.
development of local strategies that maximise the community benefit that local arts and heritage can deliver.
The Great Place Scheme is a pilot and will initially be delivered only in England. HLF expects to open the Scheme in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland during 2017.
Using money raised by National Lottery Players, the Heritage Lottery Fund invests in the full breadth of the UK's heritage to make a lasting difference for heritage and people.
Historic England looks after England's historic environment, supporting historic places by helping people to understand, value and care for them.


Montrose Street Reach partners with TPMI/Somebody Cares Houston to continue the street evangelism of Turning Pointers who went out weekly on the streets of the Montrose neighborhood. Montrose Streeet Reach ministers to street kids by offering weekly "street church" meetings, meals, and assistance with placement into rehabs, transitional housing, life skills training, and pre-natal care. Many Turning Pointers and members of the Somebody Cares Houston network are involved in the ministry in various capacities.
Our desire is to help individuals, communities and nations encounter Jesus Christ in all His mercy and grace. God's love has the same transformational power today that it did 2000 years ago.Most recently, TPMI developed the Who Was Jesus? campaign as an outreach tool based on Doug Stringer's book, Born To Die. The Who Was Jesus? booklet is written to help those who struggle with these questions and others as they search for Truth: was Jesus really was He said He was? Did He really have to die?
A simple way to meet people where they are with the transformational message of the love of Christ told through stories and testimonies of real people, Who Was Jesus? can be handed out in neighborhoods, distributed at outreach events, and given to the members of your congregation to pass on to people they meet. By placing a sticker in the booklet with your church contact information, you are giving people a safe way to connect with you and your church/ministry as they begin their journey with the Lord. The booklet is most effective when those interested in learning more are offered the opportunity to dig deeper using the Born to Die book and study guide to lead people into a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.
By sharing Christ through Scripture, personal testimony and prayer, we expect great things to happen in the hearts of those yearning to know God. If you desire to reach people for Christ as well, you can use these simple outreach tools to get started.

Turning Point and Somebody Cares Houston have been involved in hosting various crusades throughout the years to reach the city with the Good News of Jesus. In 2015, Doug Stringer served as local chairman of the Reinhard Bonnke Crusade committee. The Crusade was held on February 20-21 at BBVA Compass Stadium, with more than 27,000 men, women, and children gathering those two nights, in spite of rain and threatening storms. Over 2,700 people gave their lives to Christ, along with re-dedications and testimonies of healing. The Houston crusade saw one of the largest crowds of the Bonnke Crusades in the U.S.


This past week all students participated in the annual Year level retreats. Many thanks go to our retreat facilitators who invested many hours of planning prior to the retreats, and to the Mercy College teaching staff who supported the students during these experiences.
The presenter emotionally got his point across to always strive for your goals and don't lose hope. He used lots of real life examples to express how we are all of great value and worth and we should always expect high of ourselves to bring out our full potential.

ASTORIA, N.Y. – Any time, day or night, 365 days a year, people with a hankering for an apple, peach, pear or something more exotic can find it at the uniquely Greek United Brothers Fruit Market on 30th Avenue here.
Opened in 1969 in Manhattan by five Greeks – two sets of brothers – and moved here in 1974, the sprawling, 3000-foot fruit store is an outpost that caters to those who want a taste of what their owners said they missed in the old country when they came to the United States.
Featured in a New York Times piece, the market comes across as what it is: a great place to find fresh fruit, and some slightly-less-fresh at knockdown prices, drawing some 3,000 customers a day from Greek grandmothers to Brooklyn hipsters, workers, professionals and fruit connoisseurs.
Customers are met by ubiquitous mist spraying down on the fare: Hass avocados, yucas, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatillos and rows and racks of fruits and vegetables, everything you need to make a Greek salad or a single piece to satisfy a quick craving as you walk by.
All night long, spotlights dimly shine on the brick building above, creating a soft glow over the avenue's array of goods. Commuters stream in from the nearby subway to grab a late-night peach, plum or pear, choosing from curbside bins chock-full of them, especially a specialty: varieties of apples.
Tom Kourkoumelis, 61, the only United Brothers brother who has not retired to Florida, still spends 10 hours at the store most days, as he has for the better part of four decades (not counting the occasional vacation in Greece).
In 1969, Tom and his brothers, Jerry and George, joined the wave of Greeks escaping economic stagnation, island-hopping from Cephalonia to Manhattan, unknowingly alongside two other brothers, Spiro and Damianos Matafias. In New York, the quintet met and sought fruit, Greek-style.
Vito Genna, 55, sifted through string beans as rush hour cooled down. He has lived in Astoria since 1982 but works in Manhattan, where he has witnessed the spread of the store's influence. "One guy I worked with in SoHo would come all the way up here from downtown," he told the Times.

1 What is shutter speed?
2 How is it measured?
3 What does it mean for your pictures?
5.1 Who might use fast shutter speed photography?
6.1 Who is using slow shutter speed photography?
Today's cameras are equipped with a mind-boggling amount of features to allow you full creative control over your photography. While the multitudes of fancy switches and dials can seem overwhelming to a new photographer, the reality is there are three main features you need to be concerned with: shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.
Mastering these three features is the first step to creating technically correct photographs. The first of the bunch – shutter speed – is probably the one you're most familiar with. But do you know the ins and outs of shutter speed and how to utilize it to its full potential?
For starters, it's important to know a little bit about the internal mechanisms that make your camera work.
One of the most important pieces of your camera is its shutter, which is basically a curtain in front of the sensor. The shutter remains closed until you hit the shutter release button. Once you hit the release, your shutter will open, allowing light to hit the sensor and record the picture you see in front of you.
Shutter speed is simply the amount of time that the shutter stays open to allow light into your camera's sensor. The longer it is open, the more light is allowed in and the more movement is recorded. Some people refer to shutter speed as "exposure time," with a fast shutter speed being a short exposure and a slow shutter speed being a long exposure.
Shutter speed is measured in fractions of seconds or full seconds, depending on the speed you choose. Most DSLRs have a range of 1/4000 seconds (extremely fast) to over 1 second (very slow). On your camera settings, you should see it displayed as 1/500 (for example), which is read as "one five-hundredth of a second." If you're using a very slow shutter speed above 1 second, it will be displayed as 1″ with the quotation mark designating a full second.
What does it mean for your pictures?
So, how does shutter speed work, and how does it affect your pictures? The shutter speed you choose will have a few direct effects on your overall final result.
Most people associate a camera's shutter speed with the amount of motion blur caught in a picture. The longer the shutter stays open, the more movement your camera is "recording." Depending on how you use it, this can work for you or against you.
Used purposefully, motion blur can add to the creativity of your image. For instance, some photographers use a slow shutter speed to create the effect of a "milky" waterfall. Others use a long exposure to capture the moving headlights of traffic.
Motion blur can be used purposefully to portray the movement of your subjects, but keep in mind that your camera will also record any movement on your end (known as camera shake.) If you're shooting handheld in low light, a slow shutter will capture any camera shake and leave you with a blurry image. If you can, use a tripod or find a solid surface to set your camera on.
If you're trying to freeze fast motion for a crisp action shot, you'll need to eliminate motion blur; stick with a fast shutter speed. Just keep in mind that a fast shutter speed will limit the amount of light coming in.
Along with movement, the shutter speed has a direct effect on the amount of light let into the camera. Essentially, a faster shutter speed only lets in a small amount of light while a long shutter speed allows the sensor to take in more light. If you're shooting in an area with plenty of light (say, an outside sports event on a sunny day), you should be able to capture plenty of light even with a fast shutter speed.
However, if you don't have a lot of light to work with, a fast shutter speed can result in an underexposed image. To help combat this, you can increase your ISO.
The length of your lens has a direct impact on the amount of camera shake you're susceptible to when shooting handheld. A general "rule" used by many photographers is that your shutter speed should be at least equal to your focal length. For example, if you are shooting handheld with a 50mm lens, you should set your shutter speed at 1/50th or higher.
Of course, as with any rule, there's some wiggle room here. Many lenses today are equipped with built-in mechanisms to combat camera shake, so you might be able to shoot at a slower shutter speed. If you're following the golden rule and find that you're still getting camera shake, try a faster shutter speed. Experiment to figure out what works best for you.
If you're shooting in a situation where you want full control over your shutter speed without shooting fully manual, try shutter priority mode ('S' on Nikon and Sony cameras; 'Tv' on Canon cameras.) In this mode, you manually select your shutter speed and the camera selects your aperture for you based on the amount of available light. This will help you to correctly balance your exposure and avoid being over or underexposed. You still have control over your ISO, so you can adjust it according to the amount of light available.
To capture fast movement, a fast shutter speed is essential. During the fraction of a second that the shutter is open, your camera can take a fast-moving athlete, vehicle or animal and freeze them in time.
Who might use fast shutter speed photography?
Sports photographers: As you might imagine, sports photographers are often required to shoot at fast shutter speeds. Capturing an athlete at their peak speed usually requires a shutter speed of at least 1/500th (this is often referred to as the "sweet spot" of shutter speeds for most sports photography.) Some high speed sports, such as car or motorcycle racing, are best captured with shutter speeds of 1/1000th or faster.
Nature photographers: Nature photographers often need fast shutter speeds to freeze very fast motion, like a bird flying or a bee hovering above a flower. Birds in flight can typically be captured at around 1/2000th, while the ultra-fast wings of a hummingbird or bee need a speed of 1/4000th or so.
Seek out good lighting: One of the biggest problems people have when using fast shutter speeds is underexposure. Because only a minimal amount of light can reach the sensor during the time the shutter is open, you want to shoot in an area that is well lit. Shooting outside on a sunny day while there's plenty of light should allow you to shoot at a fast enough shutter speed to freeze motion.
Balance with your ISO/aperture: Unfortunately, weather doesn't always cooperate and it's not always practical to shoot outdoors. Many sports events take place inside or in less than ideal lighting conditions. In this case, you can compensate for low light by boosting your ISO. You can also increase your aperture, creating a bigger opening for the light to come through to the sensor.
Invest in the right camera: If you're planning to use high shutter speeds for a significant portion of your work, you'll want to invest in a camera with fast shutter speed capabilities. This means not only a camera that can reach a high shutter speed, but one with high ISO capabilities to compensate for low light situations.
Some cameras have the ability to reach shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000th and ISO settings of well over 25000.
Used correctly, a slow shutter speed can help you add beautiful creative flair to your photos. Because the shutter is open for so long, more motion and light is captured and recorded by the sensor. This makes slow shutter speeds ideal for creative night photography.
Who is using slow shutter speed photography?
Creative photographers: Slow shutter speeds are often used by photographers looking to add a creative twist to their photos. Chances are you've seen photos of waterfalls where the water is blurred and looks almost "milky." This effect is created by using a long exposure (slow shutter speed.) By allowing the shutter to stay open longer, the sensor is capturing and recording the motion of the water over time.
Firework and star photographers: Taking pictures of fireworks is also best done with a slow shutter speed of about 1/2 second or slower. This allows the sensor to read the motion of the fireworks from takeoff to explosion, creating a beautiful image.Star photographers also use slow shutter speeds to allow their cameras to "soak up" as much light as possible even in the darkest conditions. However, this requires use of a tripod to eliminate camera shake. Some photographers use extremely long exposures to capture the movement of stars over time, creating a stunning "time lapse" effect.
Slow shutter speeds are also ideal for a technique called "panning." Panning a subject leaves your subject sharp and in focus while blurring the background, allowing you to freeze your subject while still conveying motion.
Panning is achieved by "following" the subject with your lens while your shutter is open. To do this, lock your camera on your subject and get them in focus. Then, as they move by you, press the shutter speed and continue to follow them with your lens, moving from your hips.
This is a technique that takes practice, practice and more practice. Experiment with different shutter speeds – from a slow 1/15th to a slightly faster 1/125th – to see what works best for you. The speed you choose will depend on the speed and closeness of your subject; slower subjects need a slower shutter speed to convey movement, while further subjects will require a slower shutter speed than one close to you.
Use a tripod: Shooting with slow shutter speeds can be tricky. It's easy to accidentally capture camera shake if you're not careful – invest in a tripod to eliminate handheld shake.This is essential for super slow speeds like 1 second or higher.
Invest in the right camera: Most DSLRs on the market today will do a fine job at slow shutter speeds when used correctly. Check out our post for my top 5 cameras for slow shutter speed photography.

Guilhabert de Castres (* um 1165; † um 1240) war Katharerbischof von Toulouse von 1226 bis 1240. Möglicherweise war er der Vater oder der ältere Bruder von Izarn de Castres, einem katharischen Prediger und Theologen.

Biografie
Die biographischen Daten zu seiner Person sind äußerst spärlich und wohl auch keineswegs allesamt zuverlässig: Für das Jahr 1193 wird erwähnt, dass er in Fanjeaux ein Haus unterhielt, in welchem die 'Vollkommenen' (parfaits) der Glaubensgemeinschaft sich trafen. Im Jahre 1204 wird er als filius major ('Diakon') von Gaucelm, dem damaligen Katharerbischof von Toulouse, bezeichnet; noch im selben Jahr soll er vier hochgestellten Damen (Esclarmonde de Foix, Aude de Fanjeaux, Fays de Durfort und Raymonde de Saint-Germain) das Consolamentum, das einzige Sakrament der Katharer gespendet haben. Im Jahre 1207 war er beim sogenannten Kolloquium von Pamiers dabei, der letzten großen Debatte zwischen Katholiken und Katharern, an welcher auf katholischer Seite auch Domingo de Guzman, der spätere Hl. Dominikus, teilnahm.

Als dann im darauffolgenden Jahr (1208) der päpstliche Gesandte Pierre de Castelnau bei Saint-Gilles du Gard ermordet wurde, war es mit den Gesprächen und Diskussionen zwischen beiden Parteien vorbei. Ab sofort sollten die Waffen sprechen.

Während des Albigenserkreuzzugs (1209–1229) muss Guilhabert de Castres geflüchtet sein. Jedenfalls entkam er im Jahre 1220 mit Hilfe Bernard-Othon de Niorts aus der belagerten Stadt Castelnaudary. Im Jahr 1226 begründete er ein neues Bistum in Pieusse – das Bistum Razès; im Jahr darauf taucht er in Mirepoix auf. In den Jahren 1229 bis 1232 suchte er Zuflucht bei Jourdain Hunaud de Lanta in der Burg von Bézu (bzw. Burg Albedun). 1232 verhandelte er mit Raymond de Péreille, dem Herrn von Montségur, 'ob in jener Burg ab sofort die katharische Kirche bzw. Gemeinde ihren Wohn- und Hauptsitz haben könne und die Prediger ein- und ausgehen können' (... ad hoc ut in ipso castro posset ecclesia hereticorum habere domicilium et caput et inde possent transmittere et diffundere predicatores suos). Ob Guilhabert de Castres die Belagerung und den Fall der Burg Montségur (1243/4) noch erlebte, ist unklar.

Zitat
Zoé Oldenbourg schreibt in ihrem Buch über die Geschichte der Katharerbewegung:

 "It is a little disconcerting to find history telling us so little about this man, and indeed about the other leaders of the movement... Yet Guilhabert himself seems to have been one of the greatest personalities of thirteenth-century France. The history of the deeds and actions of these persecuted apostles may well have proved as rich in inspiration and instruction as that of a Francis of Assisi: They too were messengers of God's love. It is not immaterial to recall that these torches were put out forever, their faces obliterated and their example lost to all those whose lives they might have guided during the centuries that followed."

 (Übersetzung: "Es ist schon ein wenig verstörend, dass die Geschichte uns so wenig über diesen Mann und die anderen Führer der Bewegung mitteilt... Guilhabert selbst scheint eine der größten Persönlichkeiten im Frankreich des 13. Jahrhunderts gewesen zu sein. Die Geschichte der Taten dieser verfolgten Apostel könnte genauso reich in Geist und Lehre gewesen sein wie die des Franz von Assisi – auch sie waren Botschafter der göttlichen Liebe. Es ist nicht unwichtig sich daran zu erinnern, dass diese Fackeln für immer erloschen sind, ihre Gesichter ausgelöscht und ihr Beispiel ausradiert für all diejenigen, deren Leben sie in den folgenden Jahrhunderten geleitet haben könnten.")

'I stand squarely behind my decision.' Biden defends withdrawal amid deadly chaos in Afghanistan
By Michael D. Shear and David E. Sanger The New York Times,Updated August 16, 2021, 11:42 p.m.
President Joe Biden said Monday he will not repeat mistakes of the past and did not regret his decision to proceed with the withdrawal. (Photo by Evan Vucci/AP Photo)
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden offered a defiant defense Monday of his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, blaming the swift collapse of the Afghan government and chaotic scenes at the Kabul airport on the refusal of the country's military to stand and fight in the face of the Taliban advance.
Speaking to the American people from the East Room after returning briefly to the White House from Camp David, Biden said he had no regrets about his decision to end the longest war in United States history. But he lamented that two decades of support failed to turn the Afghan military into a force capable of securing its own country.
"We gave them every tool they could need. We paid their salaries. Provided for the maintenance of their airplanes," Biden said. "We gave them every chance to determine their own future. What we could not provide was the will to fight for that future."
Related: Democrats largely back Biden on Afghanistan but press for speedy evacuation of US personnel and allies
Biden acknowledged that the Taliban victory had come much faster than the United States had expected and that the withdrawal was "hard and messy." As the fourth president to preside over the war in Afghanistan, though, he said that "the buck stops with me."
"I stand squarely behind my decision," he said, adding that he would not "shrink from my share of responsibility for where we are today."
He directed a question to critics of the withdrawal, asking: "How many more generations of America's daughters and sons would you have me send to fight Afghans — Afghanistan's civil war, when Afghan troops will not?"
Biden spoke after dramatic images showed a frantic scramble to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Kabul as Taliban fighters advanced, drawing grim comparisons to the United States' retreat from Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War. Footage of people clinging to a hulking U.S. military transport, even as it left the ground, quickly circulated around the world.
But in his speech, Biden spent far more time defending his decision to depart from Afghanistan than the chaotic way it was carried out.
The Taliban cemented their control of Afghanistan on Monday, with scenes of handoffs to insurgent fighters playing out across the country and reports that the Taliban were searching for people they considered collaborators of the Americans and the fallen government.
In Washington, the Pentagon said troops had secured the airport in Kabul, where flights resumed after an earlier pause. Officials said there would be 6,000 U.S. troops conducting security at the airport and helping the evacuation by later this week. State Department officials said Monday that the administration had evacuated 3,600 people since mid-July, including about 2,000 Afghans who qualified for special immigrant visas.
Biden rejected criticism from allies and adversaries, insisting that his administration had planned for the possibility of a rapid Taliban takeover and expressing pride that diplomats and other Americans had been evacuated to relative safety at the airport.

"Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country," he said, accusing the military of laying down its arms after two decades of U.S. training and hundreds of billions of dollars in equipment and resources. "If anything, the developments of the past week reinforced that ending U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan now was the right decision."
Biden said President Ashraf Ghani, who escaped the country over the weekend as the Taliban advanced, failed to live up to his promise that the Afghan military was prepared to defend the country after the last American forces departed.
"Mr. Ghani insisted the Afghan forces would fight, but obviously he was wrong," Biden said.
The political effects of the collapse of the Afghan government caught the White House off guard, even as criticism poured in from Republican and Democratic lawmakers, Afghan activists, foreign policy experts and officials from previous administrations.
On Capitol Hill, Biden's speech stemmed some of the fallout. Democrats who had criticized the president over the weekend praised him for laying out the costs of America's lengthy involvement in the war.
"President Biden understands history when it comes to Afghanistan," said Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, a member of Democratic leadership. "He made the difficult decision to not hand over this longest of American wars to a fifth president, and had he walked away from the withdrawal agreement originally negotiated by President Trump, Taliban attacks on U.S. forces would have restarted and required yet another surge in U.S. troops."

But Republicans placed the blame squarely on Biden.
Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the top Republican in the Senate, called it a "monumental collapse." Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Biden failed to acknowledge the "disastrous withdrawal."
With thousands of Afghans desperate to escape the Taliban's takeover, other countries are bracing for a flood of refugees. Five Mediterranean countries on the forefront of mass migration to Europe — Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain — have requested European Union-level talks Wednesday about how to respond, according to Greece's migration ministry.
There are also concerns about refugees flowing to Iran, Pakistan and Turkey.
Canada said last week that it would resettle more than 20,000 Afghans from groups it considers likely targets of the Taliban, including leading women, rights workers and LGBTQ people.
The publishers of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post called on Biden to help evacuate Afghan journalists who had contributed to the papers' coverage of the region. In a joint letter Monday, the publishers asked Biden to "move urgently" to protect the safety of journalists and their families who "are trapped in Kabul, their lives in peril."

Biden vowed again to rescue thousands of Afghans who had helped Americans during the two-decade conflict, but the fate of many who remained in Kabul and other parts of Afghanistan was uncertain Monday. And thousands of Afghans with dual American citizenship remained unaccounted for amid reports of revenge attacks by the Taliban as they seized control.
The president acknowledged criticism that the administration did not move quickly enough to evacuate Afghans who served as translators and other aides. But he said the Afghan government had discouraged a mass evacuation, saying it would cause a "crisis of confidence" in the country's ability to fight the Taliban.
Over the weekend, Biden, who had been scheduled to remain on vacation through the week, stayed with his family at Camp David, in the Maryland mountains rather than quickly return to the White House while the situation in Afghanistan worsened.
White House officials described several hours of meetings throughout the weekend and said the president was briefed numerous times by top intelligence, diplomatic and military aides as the administration raced to keep up with a reality in Afghanistan that was changing by the hour.
On Thursday evening, officials urged reporters not to call the activities in Kabul an "evacuation." By the next day, that admonition was gone as the president ordered new military deployments to protect embassy workers as they fled.

White House officials said there were "active discussions" throughout the weekend about when Biden should publicly address the situation, and what he would say. Officials said they did not want the president to speak before the situation on the ground in Kabul was stable.
But by Monday, officials had settled on a message in which the president and his top aides would acknowledge that the Taliban takeover was more rapid than they expected, but say the situation was under control and in line with Biden's goal of finally removing the United States from a never-ending war.
Jake Sullivan, the president's national security adviser, said on NBC's "Today" program Monday that the administration was in the process of what he called a "successful drawdown of our embassy" even as he acknowledged that "the speed with which cities fell was much greater than anyone anticipated, including the Afghans."
In July, in response to questions from reporters, Biden said he thought the fall of the Afghan government was not inevitable because the country's army was 300,000 strong and as well equipped as any in the world.
On Sunday, the national Republican Party posted a link of Biden's response on Twitter, adding, "This was just 38 days ago."
After Biden spoke, White House officials described in more detail the tensions between Biden and Ghani when the now-deposed Afghan leader made his last visit to Washington, on June 25.
Ghani, they said, had pressed Biden to delay moving many of the former translators out of the country, and to keep other actions "low key," for fear of undermining his government. Officials said they decided to proceed anyway — though only 2,000 of the applicants, less than 10% of the estimated total, had left the country before the Taliban rolled into Kabul.
Ghani also asked for American close-air support for Afghan security forces and for the United States to leave more than 100 technicians at the Kabul airport to help keep Afghan military craft flying — a number that U.S. military officials said would not keep enough of the aircraft operational. On Aug. 6, officials said, the Pentagon held a tabletop exercise to simulate a large-scale evacuation of civilians, exactly the operation now underway.

Colorado Trails
Halfmoon Creek
Leadville, Colorado (Lake County)
San Isabel National Forest - Mount Massive Wilderness Area
Leadville Ranger District
Tucked between two goliath fourteeners, Mount Massive & Mount Elbert, here the views are jaw-dropping. There are so many things to explore on this trail it could take an entire week. Halfmoon Creek is a favorite of many. There is a mix of both easy and difficult terrain, a few water crossings, and plenty of spots with fire rings for dispersed camping. It is common for the trailhead to be very congested with hikers attempting to summit Elbert and Massive, but as you cross the creeks, you get the feeling you might be the only one out there. This trail is perfect for a one or two-night camping trip, giving you enough time to see all the old structures and take a long hike. A hike to North Halfmoon Lakes can be done in less than a day. The lakes are stocked with cutthroat trout as well as other varieties. If you bring a rod, your chances of making a catch are pretty high.
Start your next adventure on Halfmoon Creek
Take 24 south through town. Turn west on CO-300 proceed for approximately 1 mile until you reach Halfmoon Road. Turn south on Halfmoon Road continue 1.25 mi. Turn west (right) on Halfmoon Road. Continue past Mount Massive trailhead and Mount Elbert trailhead parking. The trail starts just before the fork at 110 and 110J.
Although the GPS file takes you to the end of the trails, the current MVUM states that 110J ends at Waypoint 4. There are no signs or gates here, but continuing here is not permitted by motorized use. Additionally, the 110 trail ends at Waypoint 9. There is a locked gate at this waypoint owned by Outward Bound. You can hike beyond these areas, but as of 2016, they are not designated for OHV travel. Leadville MVUM

Status: Impassable
Winter has closed this trail naturally.
Difficulty Accuracy: Harder
I did 100J and found it to push the limits of my rig, which is a JLU with 3.5" lift on 33's. The main obstacle at the 2nd water crossing was no joke. I had to winch the last 1-2' due to a 16-18" sharp-faced and totally loose boulder hooking my passenger rear shock and axle. The views at the top were pretty spectacular and made the effort worth it.
nick meier
Very surprised in this trail. Has something fir everyone. Not just a 4 hour crawl. Definitely added some complexity when it started raining and made it way more challenging to get down. It was awesome.
finally was able to do this one! When I attempted to in 2021 it was closed by the Forest Service. Had done the trail up until the large Creek Cross but hadn't gone beyond that prior to getting my jeep! Really enjoyed it and I hope to get back there in July of 2023 to get some hiking in as well
Fantastic and scenic trail! 110 was in good shape up to the mill with recent water bar work, creek crossings were moderately deep, didn't go up to the mine due to weather. Spent some time admiring the mill, what an impressive structure and hearing about the details of the operation blew me away. 110J was rocky and wet, with good views from time to time. The pictures don't do the obstacle at WP4 justice, it's gnarly so I opted to return the way I came.
Tyler Snider
Its open. Took all of my wood cutting tools out for Mexico a few months back, and forgot to put it back in. So this weekend we made it to the top, and I cleared 3 trees with the saw on my Leatherman! Your welcome! haha Not sure how long the #4 obstacle has had the "bypass" closed. (Bypass was still fairly hard a few years back with a single locker and 33s) So there is one way up now, and its gnarly if your more of an overland build. We winched up and left some aluminum on the rocks in the process!
Status: Partially Open
No closure this season, but trail is not fully passable yet.
Marcus Trusty
CORE has both NFSR 110 (Champion Mine) and NFSR 110J (Iron Mike Mine) as adopted trails. With the access road closed to the public, we obtained permission in late summer to do a work project on Iron Mike and to assess the conditions of both 110J and 110. We installed a kiosk frame for a future sign panel near the 110J trailhead, we also blocked the off-trail bypass and installed a winch anchor at the second creek crossing. NFSR 110 was in good shape and open to the Champion Mine site, but we did have to bust through considerable snow to reach the mine. The trail will probably be closed for the winter due to the additional snow forecasted this week. Hopefully next year both trails will be restored to the MVUM and the access road will be open for trail season 2022.
Josh Spring
Closure extended again until at least 9/30/21 https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd946371.pdf
Road is still closed while crews do work to clear trees and widen the road. The Forest order closing it has been extended to the end of August. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd933811.pdf
Gavin Gilmore
The Forest Service is doing some maintenance with trees and some other things it appeared on the trail. It was closed just before the campgrounds the weekend we visited to camp. I would call the Leadville Ranger District before travelling, but there are still plenty of places to camp. One of our favorite areas to visit.
Still Winter in the mountains. Trail is still impassable beyond the Mount Elbert parking lot.
Daniel Kerr
Ran the trail up to way point 11 with no difficulty in my stock TJ. Water crossings were about 12" deep. Gate was open and got a incredible view of the mill.
Obtuse Angler
Stayed on 110 up to the closed gate at Champion Mill. No difficulty in stock '97 4Runner. Less than 12" of water at both crossings. The rest was dry except for an occasional puddle. Scenic & fun road - watch for waterfalls along creek. Seems like open willows areas along creek would be good moose territory but saw none.
CORE project to mitigate off trail issues above the mill. Trail fully open. Awesome day.
Nothing blocking the trail all the way to the mill. One of the most beautiful basins/valleys i have seen. The mill is awesome as well. Agree with the difficulty rating on the site. A couple river crossings. The deepest was probably between 1 - 2 feet. Very bumpy but no 'extreme' obstacles. Clearance and 4wd low extremely suggested/necessary.
George Rueter
The trail to the Champion Mine is still blocked by snow just before way point 11 Off camber section. Looking up at this obstacle it certainly looks interesting and I will be back to try it at a later date. We only did the Champion Mine route but thought this to be one of the most beautiful trails we have been on in some time. Rugged mountains, awe inspiring views, wild flowers, many creeks, this trail has it all.
Patrick McKay
As of June 27, the main trail was clear to the locked gate to Champion Mill. The trail to Champion Mine was blocked by a snowdrift shortly before waypoint 11 (pictured). The trail to Iron Mike was clear to the Iron Mike Obstacle. I briefly attempted the bypass to the right but it proved more challenging than I expected, with a 90 degree turn to the left right after a steep ledge, that was hard to do without getting hung up on a rock right where I needed to turn. It was late and I was alone so I didn't feel comfortable attempting that further and turned around. I found a nice campsite a little ways below the obstacle which was nice and secluded away from the crowds camped along the main Halfmoon trail. I definitely need to go back and finish both prongs of this trail with a group next year, when hopefully it is fully reopened when the new travel plan is done.
The gate to champion mill is closed (not the green one), so you can cross the stream to the left but you wont get far after that as there's a snow drift, 8-10' tall that will likely be there for a few more weeks. The water crossing (waypoint 7) a few miles down hill had some real good flow. 2-3' at the deepest part so just take it slow and you'll be fine. A stock 4Runner and a bunch of lifted Colorado's made it just fine.
Big snow drift between waypoints 7 and 8 make the trail impassable
Avalanche debris is cleared and road is open. In my opinion the road seems harder than compared to last year. Some of the larger rocks looked like they had been washed out and exposed a little more adding to the difficulty of the trail. Creek crossing was a solid foot deep.
JD Marshall
From the FS today: ALERT: Visitors to the Halfmoon Road (FSR 110) on the #LeadvilleRD are advised that Road Maintenance will begin tomorrow, July 23, and is expected to continue for most of the week. The road will not be closed at this time, but visitors to the area may experience delays. Please travel carefully and be aware that large machinery may be sharing the road. Further reports on the Halfmoon road are that a large avalanche has crossed the road past the North Halfmoon Lakes Trailhead blocking vehicle access further west on the road. Creek crossings are preventing heavy machinery access to this area at this time. Visitors are welcome to travel the road on foot, but are encouraged to be cautious around avalanche debris and stream crossings. Please enjoy your time on the National Forest, and recreate safely!
Josh McDermott
Excellent trail with wonderful views, I took 110j to way point 4 before deciding that it was to much for my Xterra on a 2 lift and 265 tires. on your way up you get to see far into the valley due to the avalanche clearing on the trail. I ran into no snow on my way up and only stopped because of the serious rocks after the second water crossing. That said I had to give this trail four stars because of two things, one there were almost no turn around or passing points, and two the water was SERIOUSLY deep and fast moving. the first crossing at 110j came over the hood and also moved my truck down river a few inches. the crossing at 110 did not move my vehicle however was deep enough that it caused my electronics to cut out halfway through the crossing. Due to this I stopped fairly quick after the crossing because I didn't want to risk my engine dying on the trail. the crossing in the video is of 110 however both crossings are equally as deep, all photos were taken on 110j.
Travis Pfalzgraff
We ran both spurs of the trail (110 and 110J) on the week of July 4th. Both of the trails are blocked by avalanche debris. On 110 going to Champion Mine the blockage is right at timberline, just after the upper creek crossing. You can see where someone has driven around it. Please don't do this! This is why they close trails! On 110 J the blockage is after the creek crossing/obstacle, but before timberline. This is a significant trail blockage as a large avalanche laid many large trees over the road for about 100 yards. All of the creek crossings were very deep.
Norman Loomis
Background: we have a 2018 Tacoma TRD OR, with 3" lift, stock GoodYear tires. We attempted trail 110 toward the mill on June 8th. We made it through the first water crossing relatively easy, but the water was pretty high and flowing fast. Water came over the hood briefly, but was probably an average depth of 2-3ft. Soon after the water crossing the snow drifts began. We didn't make it too far before burying the truck to the door frames in snow. 30 minutes later, after digging out, using maxtrax and Crawl Control, we were turned around and heading back the way we came. We were probably the only ones to attempt this far, this season. I think the river crossing was intimidating, but the snow was the real issue. As of June 9th, this trail was not passable and there is a good amount of snow melt to come so the river crossings will probably get harder for the next month or so. Overall, we loved this trail and all of the dispersed camping options! Definitely excited to come back, make it to the mill, and do some more camping.
Trail was mostly clear until waypoint 7 when it became consistently snow packed and icy. There is a short hill climb in this area that had me sliding around enough that I chose not to continue. Hiked the rest of the way and found the road to be drive able from waypoints 8 to 10. I started earlier in the morning when the trail also had lots of ice on it, but by the early afternoon it had warmed up enough that ice wasnt too much of a concern anymore and the road was drive able with good tires. Interestingly the first creek crossing was a good 6" deep from the recent melting snow fall. Also note that the Champion Mill is off limits now and appears to be getting restored.
Neal A. Tew
Trail was quite scenic with more camping opportunities than I could have imagined. I drove only the Champion side. The green gate has been torn down presumably by vandals. There is however a small Trail sign indicating no motorized vehicles allowed. This late in the season the water crossings were only ankle-deep.
Matt Russo
Right Side of the Trail was open all the way up to the Mill. The gate to the Mill was unlocked and open. 1 Large water crossing about 2-3' deep right at the Mount Massive Trail Head. Once you got through the water you had the entire area to yourself. I did not take the left side but have heard it is not passable as of yet.

Athens 2004 Olympic Games Pin
The 2004 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad and commonly known as Athens 2004, was a premier international multi-sport event held in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. Officially there were 301 events in 28 sports.
Baseball at the 2004 Summer Olympics was held on two separate diamonds within the Helliniko Olympic Complex, from August 15 to August 25. This was a male-only event.
The competition consisted of a preliminary round with each team playing all the other teams once, for a total of seven games. The top four teams at the end of this round advanced to the medals round. The medals round consisted of two semifinal games with the winners advancing to the gold medal game. The losing teams of the semifinals would play in the bronze medal game.
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players each who take turns batting and fielding.
The batting team attempts to score runs by hitting a ball that is thrown by the pitcher with a bat swung by the batter, then running counter-clockwise around a series of four bases: first, second, third, and home plate. A run is scored when a player advances around the basesand returns to home plate.
Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to prevent runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team who reaches a base safely can later attempt to advance to subsequent bases during teammates' turns batting, such as on a hit or by other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn batting for both teams, beginning with the visiting team, constitutes an inning. A game comprises nine innings, and the team with the greater number of runs at the end of the game wins.

Maruti Launching These 4 New SUVs Starting At Rs 5 Lakh To Fight Tata, Hyundai, Kia
By Rohit Kulkarni Last updated Oct 16, 2021
Maruti Suzuki has ruled the hatchback segment for decades now. Maruti Suzuki is now also aiming to dominate the fast-growing SUV segment. This segment is being ruled by Hyundai, Mahindra, and Tata Motors as they offer a wide range of products. However, to conquer the segment Maruti Suzuki is now readying at least 4 new SUVs for the domestic market.
1 YTB sub-4 meter SUV
2 Next-gen Vitara Brezza
3 5-Door Suzuki Jimny
4 Maruti-Toyota Mid-Sized SUV
YTB sub-4 meter SUV
The new subcompact SUV will be positioned between the S-Presso and the Vitara Brezza. The car which is codenamed YTB, the new subcompact SUV will be based on the Heartect platform that underpins the Baleno and the Swift. This model will directly rival the newly launched Tata Punch.
It is most likely to be powered by a 1.2-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine that powers the Baleno, Swift, and the Dzire. This engine can also receive an SHVS mild-hybrid system for improved efficiency. Adding to it, the powertrain could be more powerful than the one offered in the Baleno. This car is expected to hit the markets in 2022.
Next-gen Vitara Brezza
The company is also planning to introduce the second generation Vitara Brezza sometime in 2022. The new model will be based on the advanced version of the Heartect platform. The platform will have improved safety and security. It should be noted that the next-gen Brezza will retain the original design with modern design elements.
The SUV will come with modern features like a bigger and advanced touchscreen infotainment system, connected car tech, factory-fitted sunroof, and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It will be powered by a 1.5-liter petrol engine with a stronger hybrid system.
5-Door Suzuki Jimny
The 5 Door Jimny will be launched in our market in 2022. It will be based on the Jimny Sierra. It will ride on a 300mm longer wheelbase at the same time the length of the SUV will be increased by 300mm. It will offer more space inside the cabin. It will measure 3,850mm in length, 1,645mm in width, and 1,730mm in height.
The new Suzuki Jimny LWB will be powered by a 1.5-liter K15B petrol engine with a mild hybrid system. It produces 100bhp of power and 130Nm of torque. It will come with transmission options of a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque converter automatic. The international-spec model is likely to get a 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol engine with a mild-hybrid system.
Maruti-Toyota Mid-Sized SUV
Maruti Suzuki and Toyota joint venture are now gearing up for a new mid-sized SUV for the Indian market. It will compete with the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, and the MG Astor. The car will hit the market in 2023. It will be produced at Toyota's facility in Bidadi, Karnataka. According to reports, the new model will be based on Toyota's new low-cost DNGA (Daihatsu New Generation Architecture) that also underpins the Toyota Raize sub-compact SUV.

However, before I was purchasing packs of water for work. As a property inspector, I used to drink easily eight to ten 16.9 oz water bottle a day. (Over 2000 bottles a year) A 24 pk cost roughly $5, at the rate I was consuming water bottles I was spending over $400 a year, but I didn't really notice or felt the pain because I would buy one or two packs a week ($5 to $10 a week).
Again plastic bottles are recyclable, but every time I dispose of a water bottle in the recycling bin, it doesn't go to the company that supplied the water, the bottle gets sent somewhere else and gets cycled down into something else.
So how did I stop outsourcing my 2000 bottles a year, and how did I stop spending $400+ a year?
By spending $27 dollars. I purchased a Coleman 1 gallon container to store cold water in my truck for $10 and a 20 oz Contigo Canteen for $17. I refill both daily and between the two of them, it is roughly nine 16.9oz water bottles.
I won't go into detail of how 4000 bottles can affect the environment, I will just leave it at $27 once vs $400+ per year. Water bottles are a low hanging fruit, it is not an environmental concern, it is a budget concern.
But what about if you don't consume eight to ten water bottles a day. What about if you consume only two bottles of water a day, Monday through Friday (520 bottles per year / $100+ a year) Then my answer would still be the same, it is not an environmental issue it is a budget issue. $17 once for a metal canteen or $100 per year.
The only way that it would make sense to choose a single-use water bottle over a $17 canteen is if you only consume 72 bottles of water a year (three 24 bottle pk), which is roughly $15 per year. But in this case, then I will bring out the environmental impact, lol.


Speaker: Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich).
What is the fundamental nature of physical reality? The traditional metaphysician of science would most likely answer in terms of objects, properties, and laws of fundamental physics. Structural realists ( Steven French, James Ladyman, Kerry McKenzie, and Don Ross, among others) reject the traditional answer. They argue from the pessimistic meta-induction, and the projects of contemporary physics such as quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and symmetry-based space-time theories, that there are no "objects" (or at any rate that we should not believe in "objects") and that there is only "structure." They go on to show that this revisionary metaphysical picture of physical reality fits well with the methodology of modern physics. However, many metaphysicians and philosophers of science are worried about the intelligibility and coherence of this new picture of an object-free and structure-only physical reality. It is not obvious how to formulate structural realism as a clear, precise, and positive metaphysical thesis.
These issues are on the cutting edge of both contemporary philosophy of physics and metaphysics. The two-day Rutgers workshop aims to provide an opportunity for in-depth discussions about these important issues.

The concept of this blog started in a conversation with my sister. In Fall of 2011 there was a lot going on in the world of sports that I had a big opinion about, and I would always talk about it with my sister. Now, my sister is not into sports at all so I would always have to keep her informed. Then one day she suggested I write an informative blog for girls, and She's A Sports Fan was born. She's A Sports Fan is simply about sports, sports from a girls perspective. This blog is written to inform those who do not know much about sports and what is going on in the sports world. It is written in simple terms so that everyone can understand. I want to give girls and anyone else a place to go to find out about sports information that is easy to follow. Basically – it's sports 101 for women! Whether on a date or simply talking to a sports fanatic, girls should be able to participate in conversations about sports without hesitation.
Hi! I'm Tamara. I may be small but I am a BIG sports fan. After attending college at Texas A&M, I moved to Dallas and became more connected to the wild and wonderful world of sports. Unlike most girly-girls who are solely into shopping and fashion, while I still like those things, my days are filled with the sounds of ESPN radio, Sport Center, local sports news, and even the sports section of the newspaper! I am a fan of all sports, appreciate all teams, but in my heart I will always be a #1 Mavs Fan For Life (MFFL).
I hope this blog helps you learn more about what is going on in the sports world, or even teaches you something about the teams around you. Please feel free to suggest anything you would like to know more about and I will be happy to look into it. I appreciate all the support.
Awesome!!! Love this idea!!! 🙂 I look forward to participating!
Thanks! I am very excited about this.
Whoop! I'm very proud of my sister. Good Job!
Finally – a simplified version of sports news. Maybe now I will understand what sports-fanatics talk about!
Congrats Tam!!! Can't wait to read more!


Today we had a first.
A minute later you were quite agitated and said, "I want to change clothes!" And then you blurted out, "I'm hiding something from you! I'm hiding something from you!" You said this with your hand covering a part of your pajama pants. I thought maybe you had gone to the bathroom or drawn on your pants. Then I saw a tiny hole.
"Lydia, did you cut a hole in your pants with your scissors?" I asked.
You just nodded with tears in your eyes.
You were really crying now and did not want to voice a prayer to Jesus! So, I prayed for us instead. I thanked God that you had such a tender heart that even in the midst of sin, you chose to do right.
It was a long walk to the trashcan and you held my hand tightly the whole time. We threw your pajamas away. Never to be seen again. Just like your sin.
Lydia, I know you won't remember this day. But I hope you remember this: that Jesus loves you. He takes your sin from you when you ask. And he dresses you with new clothes. (Isaiah 61:10) He sees you as his perfect daughter.
I had to get away from the letter X as soon as possible. So, we didn't do much with it. Yesterday we started the letter Y. And *sigh* I like it much better. I've got all kinds of stuff rolling around in my head for it.
Anyway, we did a simple Y craft…yellow construction paper, yarn (almost yellow) and a hole punch.
I picked Matthew 5:14 as our verse: "You are the light of the world". It's a hard one for a 3 year old to understand…especially when our I verse was "I am the Light of the World." But even if Lydia doesn't "get" it…this verse really hit home for me. Yesterday was one of those, "OMG, how am I ever going to be a good parent day." Lydia was whiny, Asa was needy and I was selfish. I just wanted to get on the computer and hide from parenting and housework.
And as I tried to explain this verse to Lydia I realized that *I* was not being a very good light to my world. Lydia is with me 24 hours a day. And just like she is learning to clean the same way I do, color like me, speak like me and play like me; she's also learning about Jesus from me. I have to let my light shine every second of the day so that SHE can see it.
When I was a children's pastor, I understood this concept for my church kids–if they saw me at the movies and I was going in to see a rated R movie, I wasn't being a great example of Jesus. But as a parent—this idea is magnified a hundred fold! With every eye-roll, aggravated sigh and short response from me, I'm teaching her to do the same.
I want her to see Jesus in me. NOT see ME in Jesus.
Oh, Lord, help me be a strong light for you in my little world!
OK, these impressive puns could get old. But I gotta tell you, I'm impressed with my daughter.
Like I mentioned, we watched Veggie Tale's Queen Esther dvd in honor of the letter Q this week. Lydia loves all things princess. So, I knew this movie was going to be right up her alley.
We've been talking about the show as much as possible because the underlying message is courage–being brave because God is there with you. Well, this is exactly what Lydia has needed to hear. She is very shy and timid. We've even had to do a little "discipline" because of her shy behavior (she can manipulate with it and will even pretend to be shy to her family, etc.) I know she is actually apprehensive about some situations, so we're just a litte lost about what to do with it.
Which was the perfect segue to what we did this morning…Lydia was invited to a Bring A Friend day at a ballet class. I knew she'd love it but would also be a little shy. I didn't want her melting down and refusing to come off my shoulder while the other girls played and danced. So we talked about how Lydia was going to be brave at ballet class.


As Jesus said went along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, for him to have been born blind?' 'Neither he nor his parents sinned,' Jesus answered 'he was born blind so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the spittle, put this over the eyes of the blind man. and said to him, 'Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam (a name that means 'sent'). So the blind man went off and washed himself, and came away with his sight restored.
His neighbours and people who earlier had seen him begging said, 'Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?' Some said, 'Yes, it is the same one'. Others said, 'No, he only looks like him'. The man himself said, 'I am the man'. So they said to him, 'Then how do your eyes come to be open?' 'The man called Jesus' he answered 'made a paste, daubed my eyes with it and said to me, "Go and wash at Siloam"; so I went, and when I washed I could see.' They asked, 'Where is he?' 'I don't know' he answered.
They brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees. It had been a sabbath day when Jesus made the paste and opened the man's eyes, so when the Pharisees asked him how he had come to see, he said, 'He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and I can see'. Then some of the Pharisees said, 'This man cannot be from God: he does not keep the sabbath'. Others said, 'How could a sinner produce signs like this?' And there was disagreement among them.
So they spoke to the blind man again, 'What have you to say about him yourself, now that he has opened your eyes?' 'He is a prophet' replied the man. However, the Jews would not believe that the man had been blind and had gained his sight, without first sending for his parents and asking them, 'Is this man really your son who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he is now able to see?' His parents answered, 'We know he is our son and we know he was born blind, but we don't know how it is that he can see now, or who opened his eyes. He is old enough: let him speak for himself.' His parents spoke like this out of fear of the Jews, who had already agreed to expel from the synagogue anyone who should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ. This was why his parents said, 'He is old enough; ask him'.
So the Jews again sent for the man and said to him, 'Give glory to God! For our part, we know that this man is a sinner.' The man answered, 'I don't know if he is a sinner; I only know that I was blind and now I can see'. They said to him, 'What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?' He replied, 'I have told you once and you wouldn't listen. Why do you want to hear it all again? Do you want to become his disciples too?' At this they hurled abuse at him: 'You can be his disciple,' they said 'we are disciples of Moses: we know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don't know where he comes from'. The man replied, 'Now here is an astonishing thing! He has opened my eyes, and you don't know where he comes from! We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but God does listen to men who are devout and do his will. Ever since the world began it is unheard of for anyone to open the eyes of a man who was born blind; if this man were not from God, he couldn't do a thing.' 'Are you trying to teach us,' they replied 'and you a sinner through and through, since you were born!' And they drove him away.
so that those without sight may see and those with sight turn blind'.
but since you say, "We see", your guilt remains.
Amazing Grace – I once was lost and now am found, was blind and now I see.

Everyone wants to save money. Here is a great way to save money on your HVAC costs. Preventative maintenance and service contracts save you money over time. They can save you hundreds of dollars. Today we are going to look at four main ways preventative maintenance can save you money. As an HVAC in Galloway NJ we have seen everything you can imagine go wrong with a HVAC system. Here are the ways you can keep from having a HVAC emergency.
Paying for preventative maintenance can seem like a pain. However it is the same concept of taking your car in for a check up. You can catch problems before they become huge. A good hvac system checkup can keep your furnace and air conditioning running for much longer without a repair.
Having regular maintenance can save you money in a few different ways.
Prolongs the life of your hvac systems. This saves you money on big repairs over the years. By having regular maintenance it keeps the huge breakdowns from happening. We can also spot trouble areas sooner if we are servicing your hvac system on a regular basis.
Maintenance on HVAC reduces your energy bills. Keeping your systems running efficiently helps keep you energy costs down. If your system is running at a lower percent it means you are burning more fuel for less heat. Having regular service on your hvac systems is like having a regular oil change for your car.
Regular maintenance on your hvac systems can keep them under warranty. Most HVAC manufacturers will require annual maintenance to keep their systems under warranty. If you were to put in a claim on a system that is under warranty they would request to see receipts from your maintenance. If you have the maintenance reports it can save you a lot of money. Especially if a newer system breaks.
If you have any questions on your hvac in Galloway NJ or our maintenance contracts give us a call today!

Kurdish troops seize town of Bashiqa as part of battle for Mosul
KURDISH troops have seized control of a town close to Mosul as part of a military campaign to retake the Iraqi city from the Islamic State.

IRAQI and Kurdish forces have taken control of a town near Mosul as part of a massive operation aimed at retaking the country's second largest city from the Islamic State group.
Masoud Barzani, President of the Iraqi Kurdish region, told US Defense Secretary Ash Carter that the Kurds had succeeded in liberating Bashiqa from Islamic State on Sunday.
Kurdish Peshmerga fighters told reporters at the scene that they had entered Bashiqa.
The top US commander in Iraq, Army Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, said his own information - while limited - "suggests that President Barzani is right, that there has been a considerable success at Bashiqa".

Townsend told journalists that Bashiqa was one of the villages outside Mosul that Islamic State had emptied of civilians and fortified over the past two years.
Over the last week, Iraqi and Kurdish forces have been battling the Islamic State in a belt of mostly uninhabited towns and villages around Mosul, contending with roadside bombs, snipers and suicide truck bombs. The Mosul offensive involves more than 25,000 Iraqi ground forces as well as US-led coalition aircraft and advisers. It is expected to take weeks, if not months, to drive ISIS from Mosul, which is home to more than a million civilians.
Bashiqa is close to a military base of the same name where some 500 Turkish troops are training Sunni and Kurdish fighters for the Mosul offensive.

The presence of the Turkish troops has angered Iraq, which says it never gave them permission to enter the country and has called on them to withdraw. Turkey has refused the demand, insisting that it play a role in retaking Mosul from IS.
US Defense Secretary Carter has visited both countries in recent days, and arrived in the Kurdish regional capital Irbil on Sunday.
After meeting with Turkey's leaders, Carter had announced an "agreement in principle" for Turkey to have a role in the operation. But Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi appeared to bat that idea down when he met with Carter on Saturday, insisting that Mosul was an "Iraqi battle." "I know that the Turks want to participate, we tell them thank you, this is something the Iraqis will handle and the Iraqis will liberate Mosul and the rest of the territories," he said.

The forces taking part in the Mosul offensive include Iraqi troops, the Peshmerga, Sunni tribal fighters and state-sanctioned Shiite militias. Many fear the operation could heighten tensions between Iraq's different communities, which are allied against IS but divided over a host of other issues, including the fate of territories near mostly Sunni Mosul that are claimed by the largely autonomous Kurdish region and the central government.

Carter praised the Peshmerga, saying they "fight extremely well," but also acknowledged that they had suffered casualties. Brigadier General Halgord Hekmet, a spokesman for the Kurdish forces, told reporters that 25 of their troops have been killed since the battle to retake Mosul began and a "large number" had been wounded.
The UN agency for children meanwhile expressed concern over the more than 4,000 people it says have fled from areas around Mosul since the operation began.
UNICEF's Iraq representative, Peter Hawkins, said that in at least one refugee camp the conditions for children were "very, very poor." He said UNICEF teams delivered water, sanitation and other supplies expected to last seven days.

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God calls out Joe Biden
July 25 (Agencies) | Publish Date: 7/25/2020 11:51:34 AM IST
Charlamagne Tha God said on the episode of The Breakfast Club that Joe Biden continues to shoot himself in the foot with his regular verbal blunders, thus earning him the show's "Donkey of the Day" honor.
"I really wish Joe Biden would shut the eff up forever and continue to act like he's starring in the movie A Quiet Place because as soon as he opens his mouth and makes noise, he gets us all killed. OK?" the radio host said. "There's already so many people who are reluctantly only voting for Joe Biden because he's the only option and because Donald J. Trump is that trash."
Biden made his remarks during a virtual SEIU town hall meeting on Wednesday. When asked about President Trump's use of the term "China virus," Biden said, "We've had racists, and they've existed, they've tried to get elected president. He's the first one that has."
Charlamagne Tha God called that pure "malarkey," noting that several presidents during the 18th and 19th centuries were slaveowners.
"How are we ever going to atone for America's original sins if we don't acknowledge them?" Charlamagne said. "How the hell can Donald J. Trump be the first racist president in a country where 12 presidents before him owned slaves?"
He also noted the racist behavior of Woodrow Wilson and Lyndon B. Johnson.
He then urged Biden to announce his vice presidential pick, whom the candidate has stated would be a black woman.
"Joe, you got to hurry up and announce your Black woman VP so I can be enthused about voting for her because I will never be enthused about voting for you."
Biden infamously disparaged black Americans in a May interview on The Breakfast Club when he said that black people who don't vote for him aren't truly black.
"If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black," Biden said. (Breitbart)

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Divorce Held Up Over Chateau Miraval?
Is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce held up over Chateau Miraval? A new report claims the estranged spouses haven't reached a settlement because they're in a disagreement over the property.
But, as media explains below, this assertion is false, as are other allegations in the story. "Brad & Angelina: Why They're Still Fighting," reads a headline in the latest issue of Life & Style. According to the article, Pitt and Jolie "can't agree on a few key issues, and it's keeping their divorce in an awkward holding pattern." It's specifically alleged the stars are having an "ongoing battle" over a prized piece of property, Chateau Miraval in France. The couple bought the estate together prior to their marriage, and in addition to living there at various points, the grounds have been used as a vineyard for wine released under their own label.
But it was already confirmed by People earlier this year that Pitt and Jolie are still producing wine together and neither of them — not just the actor — have an interest in selling the property. "Their intent has always been to keep the property in the family 'as an investment for their children,'" the reputable publication specifically reported. That clearly goes against the tabloid's insistence that Jolie wants to sell the estate. Plus, Pitt's rep confirms to media that it's not true he and Jolie are arguing over the estate.
What's also notable is that this narrative contradicts what the outlet told readers back in January. Just a few months ago, Life & Style insisted Jolie and Pitt were planning to finalize their split "by sometime in February." media, however, learned that wasn't true and that no significant progress had been made. We were proven right when February came and Jolie and Pitt said they were still negotiating their divorce settlement and sought a court extension. But because the situation still isn't settled, the tabloid is now inaccurately blaming the apparent hold-up on a nonexistent dispute over Chateau Miraval.
To summarize, after wrongly claiming Jolie and Pitt's divorce would be settled in February, the magazine is now also wrong in claiming they're "fighting" over Chateau Miraval. Furthermore, the tabloid shows it is far from knowledgeable by putting both stars into romantic relationships that don't actually exist. And media would be remiss not to mention that this is the same publication that falsely announced Pitt and Jolie were back together a year ago, a big flub we recently took a look back at to highlight how Life & Style is not credible. This latest inaccurate article further proves that.

Peterson: Iowa State has a lot to say about OU's quest for four College Football Playoff berths in a row

Let's go counter to some of the national Big 12 opinion after events of last Saturday, headlined by Oklahoma's loss against Kansas State. Let's not forget that Texas is a very good football team. Tom Herman is coaching a team that's every bit a legitimate contender for the conference championship and College Football Playoffs.
Let's remember also, that contrary to knee-jerk doomsday Big 12 reaction, the conference can't be written out of the College Football Playoff picture just yet. The Longhorns are a very good team, despite going into overtime to beat Texas Tech. They have one of the most entertaining quarterbacks in college football. They're probably not as bad on defense as last Saturday would make us believe. Coordinator Chris Ash's side of the ball took many lumps, yet escaped.
Errors are correctable. Winning through adversity doesn't mean you're a bad team, and the last I knew, Texas is 2-0 and it's still unpredictable 2020. That's the lesson here.
And there's also this, which should interest Iowa State fans during these days before the Cyclones entertain Oklahoma at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium:
Lincoln Riley's Sooners reached the College Football Playoffs last season, despite losing against Kansas State.
Oh yeah, now I remember.
"I've heard the same thing for all five years I've been here at Oklahoma, and we've been in four of the last five," Riley said Monday, about quick national weekend analysis. "That's what people have to talk about right now."
Some national negative reaction is justified, and I admit, it doesn't look good when the Big 12's favorite (OU) loses a game it should win, and when the conference goes 0-3 against the Sun Belt Conference. I get that that.

This just in: There's College Football Playoffs life after losing against Kansas State, but losing again — like maybe on Saturday against the Cyclones? The Sooners' three-season playoff streak would be over, so absolutely it's appropriate to think that Riley's team will come into Ames with a point to prove.
Campbell knows anything can and will happen during a college football season that will be more disrupted than it's already been. To expect the Sooners will take out angst and frustration on the Cyclones after blowing a three-touchdown lead a week ago? Campbell figures this week will be business as usual in both Norman, Oklahoma and Ames, Iowa.
"I don't know if from that standpoint, I would expect anything different (than the norm)," Campbell said on the Big 12 teleconference. "It's an extremely talented team."
Ball is ball. Campbell knows his team must be on top of its game, regardless of who's on the other sideline. He knows the consequences if that's not the case. He knows the egg his team laid in the opener against Louisiana.
"The reality of this entire season is uniqueness," Campbell said.
He's right about that, but it wasn't unique for the Sooners to lose against Kansas State. That's been done before — like in 2019.
"This is going to be a little bit of a crazy season, like they all are," Riley said. "It's going to be about teams that win — teams from quality conferences that win. Like four of the past five years, if we have a team in this conference that wins (and) takes care of business, it's going to be in the college football playoffs."
It won't be Oklahoma, if it loses on Saturday. Two losses, and you're out. Even in wild and wacky 2020 — when Sooners lose against Wildcats, Longhorns beat Red Raiders in overtime and when COVID causes as much uncertainty as a fourth-and-two decision — a two-loss Big 12 team isn't making the Final Four.
Which is why Saturday's game in Ames is so very significant.
It's not like Campbell's team looked great during Saturday's 37-34 victory at TCU. His staff has some cleanup to do, too. The offensive line is improving, after showing the way for 212 rushing yards against a team that's usually solid against the rush. Quarterback Brock Purdy can't make a mistake like he made during the third quarter, when he gave up the ball for a TCU touchdown instead of taking a sack.
But for some of the national conversation being focused on the Big 12 likely already being shut out of the College Football Playoffs?
Oklahoma is out if it loses again; that much we can assume. Predicting total Big 12 playoff apocalypse, though, is stretching the narrative a bit too far — at least right now.
