There is so much history in Paris often you do not know where to start, and with numerous different monuments to visit, you cannot forget visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral that is over 800 years old!
Situated on a small island called the Ile de la Cite in the middle of River Seine, its official name is The Notre Dame de Paris, but is often known simply as Notre Dame and is a Gothic cathedral that took nearly 200 years to be complete. It was first started in 1163 during the reign of King Louis VII, but did not get finished until around 1345.
Even though Notre Dame had held many important events, such as Henry VI of England being crowned King of France in 1431, over the years it fell into disrepair. But it was Napoleon that saved the church from demolition back in 1802 and then he got crowned Emperor here in 1804, however it was still in a very bad state of disrepair.
We are sure you have heard of the novel by Victor Hugo called the Hunchback of Notre Dame and this particular story was what brought people together to raise money for its restoration, which managed to bring it virtually back to its former glory.
And in fact, following the start of World War II, it was feared that German bombers could destroy the stained glass windows so they were removed and restored at the end of the war and one particular round stained glass window, called the Rose Window, was the biggest window in the world when it was produced back in the 13th century, and it still contains its original medieval glass.
Notre Dame translates as Our Lady and this monument in Paris is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral for Sunday mass, is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris and is utilised for major events when the famous bell is rung. But instead of manpower the bell is now rung automatically and by taking a climb up the spiral staircase, you can get to see this enormous bell that was saved from being melted down.
Also when climbing to the bell tower and further you can see the flying buttress style used in the construction of the Notre Dame Cathedral along with the gargoyles on the outside of the building, designed to ward of evil spirits plus going further you get an excellent view of the city but it is around 140 more steps.
Now it is obvious that every cathedral has an organ, but Notre Dame has actually had several, although the first ones were far too inadequate and the first sensible organ was installed in the early 1700's with some of the original pipe work remaining today.
But one of the old cathedral organs can be viewed at the Musee de Notre Dame de Paris, along with the music scores, notes and some personal articles that are on display from Louis Vierne, the famous cathedral organist and the museum is only one street away from the cathedral. Although small it is fascinating and holds extremely old, interesting documents such as drawings, plans and engravings, which reveal the mysteries and various development stages of the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral plus it recounts life in the City from Lutecia before it was known as Paris.
Also, in the square to the front of Notre Dame there is a plaque put in place by André Michelin, founder of the Michelin tyre business and it is from this point that all distances in France are measured.
Open every day of the year, The Notre Dame de Paris is free to enter although there is a charge to venture up the tower, which is accessed on the outside of the church on the left hand side when looking at the main entrance of the cathedral.
You can also have a guided visit, which is organised by the cathedral staff itself and these are conducted in different languages on different days of the week. For instance the English guided tours are provided on a Wednesday at 2pm, Thursday at 2pm and a Saturday at 2.30pm. Other language tours such as Spanish, Russian, Japanese, etc are held at different times, but any of these can be cancelled if there is a special occasion, so it always worth checking with staff on site, or telephoning prior.
So whether you are going for pilgrimage or just as a tourist, this fascinating building that has become a famous landmark in Paris, is not to be missed on your holiday in France.

Location Planning as an Essential Tenant Representation Service
August 2, 2013 § Leave a comment
Currently a managing principal with CresaPartners, LLC, in Washington, D.C., Mindy W. Saffer is a veteran real estate broker focused on tenant representation in complex transactions, leasing management, and capital markets matters. A distinct area in which Mindy Saffer and her team assist clients is in optimizing location planning.
For businesses spanning a variety of commercial, industrial, and retail industries, location planning is of critical value. Of particular importance is a careful evaluation of labor dynamics specific to the potential corporate location. Companies must take time to assess the availability of qualified labor in the region, as well as demand for these employees from competitors. Worker accessibility to the workplace is critical, as are sufficient telecommunications, power, and other basic infrastructure. With the greater Washington, D.C., area offering abundant physical infrastructure, another key consideration is labor recruitment and attrition, and costs associated with retaining highest quality employees. Professionals such as Mindy Weiss Saffer are committed to assisting fully in the screening process and assessing the most promising business locations within specific regions.
Mindy Saffer's Involvement with the District of Columbia Building Industry Association
July 10, 2013 § Leave a comment
Since 1999, Mindy Saffer has worked as a real estate professional at West, Lane & Schlager. She was promoted to Principal after showcasing her prowess in the industry, and she has also received several awards and accolades for her aptitude. Recently, Ms. Saffer accepted an invitation to speak at the District of Columbia Building Industry Association's State of the Leasing Market Seminar, along with seven other real estate professionals. This seminar, which was available for members of the organization for an entrance fee of $70 and to non-members for $85, gave participants the opportunity to earn two hours of continuing education credits with approval from the D.C. Real Estate Commission. With sponsors in the industry like Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, KeyBank, and Boston Properties, Inc., the State of the Leasing Market Seminar was just the first part of the District of Columbia Building Industry Association's commercial real estate update. This tutorial covered several pertinent issues that affect the state of the Washington, D.C., real estate market. Discussion points of this seminar included predictions over the next one to two years, a review of market statistics for Washington, D.C., and other suburban markets for the previous year, requirements for the upcoming year, and renewals versus relocation. Additional subjects of lectures included which industry groups were picked to grow, when concessions will start to decrease, and the impact that new tax rules will have on occupancy strategies and lease structures.

Mindy Weiss Saffer: Slevin & Hart Expand into new D.C. Headquarters
June 18, 2013 § Leave a comment
A principal at West, Lane & Schlager Realty in Washington, D.C., Mindy W. Saffer played an instrumental role in the negotiation of a new lease for Slevin & Hart.
In 2010, Slevin & Hart, a leading employee benefits law firm, completed renovations on an expanded space for its employees. The new office increases the space of its headquarters in Northwest D.C. by 50 percent. Before the renovations, firm employees had 15,000 square feet of space. With the renovations complete, these individuals now enjoy 22,000 square feet.
The firm has signed a 10-year lease on the space, where it has already conducted business for more than 20 years. Until 2010, Slevin & Hart occupied half of the building's fourth floor, as well as half of the fifth floor. When the other fourth-floor tenant decided to leave, the firm capitalized on the opportunity to expand operations and ultimately improve the level of service it provides for its clients. The building, located at 1625 Massachusetts Avenue N.W., houses several other leading businesses and organizations, including the Air Line Pilots Association and offices of Johns Hopkins University.
Mindy Saffer and West, Lane & Schlager Realty, Part 1
May 22, 2013 § Leave a comment
Bringing extensive experience in the commercial real estate leasing market to her role as a Principal at West, Lane & Schlager Realty, Mindy Saffer utilizes her skills to represent a wide array of trade organizations and nonprofit groups in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Joining West, Lane & Schlager as an Associate Broker in 1999, Mindy Saffer quickly established herself as a capable and detail-oriented negotiator, closing a notable number of major transactions over the course of the past decade. Since 2005, Mindy Saffer has more than doubled the amount of square footage she leases, dedicating considerable time and energy to finding the ideal space for every client she assists at West, Lane & Schlager.
In addition to her accomplishments at West, Lane & Schlager Realty, Mindy Saffer holds accreditation from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) initiative, a qualification she earned in 2008. A member of the Greater Washington Commercial Association of Realtors' Multi-Million Dollar Leasing Club since 2005, Mindy Saffer also maintains ties with the District of Columbia Building Industry Association, the American Society of Association Executives, Commercial Real Estate Women, and the Financial & Administrative Roundtable.
With the support of partners such as Mindy Saffer, West, Lane & Schlager Realty continues to expand business activities, bolstering an already prominent presence as leader in the tenant brokerage industry. When Eric West, Rich Lane, and Gary Schlager formed West, Lane & Schlager in 1996, they faced a variety of challenges as an up-and-coming real estate brokerage firm. Committed to establishing a company that would be attractive to talented individuals such as Mindy Saffer, the founders of West, Lane & Schlager crafted a new approach to commercial real estate leasing. In an October 2010 article published in the Washington Business Journal, Eric West explained the foundational intention that inspired the creation of West, Lane & Schlager. According to Mr. West, the firm fully welcomes the impressive growth of the past 15 years. Even so, the team at West, Lane & Schlager understands that quality of service, not size, remains the ultimate indicator of success.
Mindy Weiss Saffer: Christ House
April 16, 2013 § Leave a comment
A principal with the Washington, D.C., commercial real estate leasing firm of West, Lane & Schlager, Mindy W. Saffer is an enthusiastic supporter of Christ House.
While the nation is embroiled in an ongoing debate over health care, Christ House has been addressing the problem for a population usually left out of the national discussion. Since 1985, it has operated as a 24-hour residential medical facility for homeless men and women on the streets of Washington, D.C., one of only 13 or so such facilities throughout the country.
The patients admitted to Christ House are generally referred by other organizations, like shelters and clinics. They suffer from a host of serious illnesses including cancer, HIV/AIDS, stroke, liver disease, and kidney failure, among other disorders. In addition, most have conditions directly attributable to their homelessness, like malnutrition and depression.
When a patient is referred to Christ House, he or she is diagnosed and treated not only for the primary condition for which the referral was made but also for other conditions. In 2011, 272 people were treated by Christ House, of which 81 percent also suffered from HIV, drug or alcohol addiction, or a psychiatric illness. A fourth had all three conditions. The center's website at http://www.christhouse.org provides a more comprehensive exposition of its history, its work, and its many successes.
Greater Washington Commercial Association of Realtors
April 2, 2013 § Leave a comment
A principal of West, Lane & Schlager, a commercial real estate firm in Washington, D.C., Mindy Saffer remains active in her professional community through membership in a number of industry organizations, including the Greater Washington Commercial Association of Realtors (GWCAR). Connecting more than 600 commercial brokers and other real estate professionals throughout the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, and Southern Maryland, GWCAR is an invaluable resource for continuing education, networking, and specialized information. GWCAR represents the interests of its members in the local community through grassroots efforts and campaigning before the National Association of Realtors, as a part of the Realtors Commercial Alliance.

For the past five years, Mindy Saffer has joined the GWCAR Multi-Million Dollar Leasing Club.
Mindy W. Saffer and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Part 1
January 3, 2013 § Leave a comment
In March of 2011, Mindy W. Saffer closed a lease transaction on behalf of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a not-for-profit group dedicated to eradicating underage smoking. Established in 1996, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids employs its resources in a variety of targeted advocacy efforts, promoting actionable public policies to decrease tobacco use among children and adolescents, raise awareness about the dangers of secondhand smoke, and improve regulation regarding the sale and marketing of tobacco products. Moreover, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids oversees numerous smoking cessation classes for the public, encouraging old and young alike to join in the movement against the tobacco industry.
Working on both a national and international level, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids collaborates with the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, a program implemented by respected philanthropist and Mayor of New York City Michael R. Bloomberg in 2006. According to statistics released by the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, cigarettes and other forms of tobacco take the lives of more than 14,000 people each day. Singling out tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in the world, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids estimates the annual death toll from smoking at 400,000 in the United States alone.
Projecting that tobacco will kill 8 million people every year by 2030 in light of current smoking trends, the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use relies on the vital partnership it shares with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids to spread its commendable message.
In 2009, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids celebrated the enactment of new anti-smoking legislation passed by Congress and President Obama. Providing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with license to regulate tobacco companies' advertising campaigns, the law represents a great victory for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, one of many to come in America and across the globe.

How to Sell & License Cover Songs, YouTube, Pomplamoose & More
They also sell more than 100,000 digital music downloads a year through iTunes and their own website. These online sales are comprised of both cover songs and originals.
Which has led to a ton of questions from artists wondering:
How does Pomplamoose (and many other musicians like them) legally post cover songs on YouTube and then sell them?
Some of these cover song issues will be addressed in part two of the Pomplamoose interview. But since a lot of people are asking now, here is what I know about this topic ...
There are two separate aspects to this:
1) Recording your version of someone else's song and POSTING it on YouTube - where anyone can watch it for free
2) Recording your version of someone else's song and SELLING it on iTunes, Amazon, your own site, etc.
Regarding #1 ... Admittedly, this is a gray area with no clear-cut answers. YouTube probably has a blanket license from BMI and ASCAP for this purpose. Much like a live music venue should have a license that allows you to play cover songs in a club.
Based on my research of this topic, the main reason a cover song video might be removed from YouTube is if someone files a complaint or the copyright holder objects to it. This has happened with some videos. But considering the thousands (if not millions) of cover songs on YouTube, it is rare to have such a video pulled.
There's currently no easy system in place to get permission or purchase what's called a "sync license" before posting your rendition of a popular song on YouTube. So most indie artists simply upload them for the world to see. If an artist, record label or publisher does object, it seems the worst that happens is that YouTube deactivates that video.
Warning: There is some evidence that YouTube has a "three strikes" rule -- meaning that after three such copyright deactivations they will shut down your entire channel. So if you've had complaints in the past, you might want to steer clear of cover songs on that channel.
(Note: All of these guidelines pertain to YOUR RENDITION of a song! Do NOT post the original recording of someone's else song. THAT is a definite no-no.)
Thanks to Suzanne Lainson who provided this link to a much more in-depth overview of this topic.
Regarding #2 ... To SELL your recorded version of someone else's song, you must purchase a mechanical license. As Jack and Nataly will point out in part two, this is incredibly easy and affordable to do -- especially for digital download sales in small quantities.
Pomplamoose uses the Harry Fox Agency, which you can find at www.harryfox.com/public/songfile.jsp or simply www.songfile.com.
Many indie musicians use Limelight at www.songclearance.com -- which some have said is even easier to use.
Using either one of these sites, you could buy the mechanical rights to sell 100 digital downloads of a cover song for as little as $24 USD. (That includes a $15 fee to Limelight or Harry Fox, plus $9.10 for royalties to the publisher.)
Pretty simple, huh?
Note that there are different rates and rules for songs over five minutes in length, sampling, parodies, etc. But for a simple rendition of a cover song, it's pretty easy.

Don't Let the Bastards in the Door! The Cure for Economic Doom & Gloom
What? Let me explain ...
Yes, I'm frustrated with U.S. politicians in D.C. But I'm not talking about them. Yes, I'm not at all happy with Wall Street insiders focused on short-term greed. But I'm not talking about them either.
I'm also fed up with the head honchos at media outlets who choose to report fear and loathing 24 hours a day. But they are not the Bastards I refer to here.
Like you, I've been bombarded with messages about debt ceilings, downgrades, downturns, shortages, layoffs, foreclosures, and more. I've had my fill.
And now I refuse to let the Bastards in my door!
The Bastards I'm talking about here are not people or corporate entities. They are the negative and destructive thought forms that are hypnotizing you and me and much of the population these days.
If you want to truly survive and thrive through this (or any other) economy, you must send these Bastards packing and not let them get anywhere near the door to your psyche.
Note of Clarification ...
I am NOT talking about burying your head in the sand and denying that many people are hurting financially these days. There is some very real pain being experienced by good people. There's a pretty strong chance that someone close to you is facing an economic challenge, or even you yourself are.
I get that. I have felt the pinch myself, and I have watched and am watching good friends wrestle with it.
But the best way for you to help them and help yourself is to rise above the misery mentality. Don't buy into the mass consciousness of lack and limitation. That will serve no one.
It's one thing to be aware of global economics and have empathy for those who have been affected. It's quite another to shrivel up and become a card-carrying member of the Doom and Gloom Association.
The Bastards are trying to infiltrate your brain, your mindset, and your entire belief system. Don't let them in the door!
The Best Medicine for Economic Doom and Gloom
Again, these Bastards (with a capital B) are not people or things. They are perceptions, attitudes, and highly contagious viruses of the mind that must be obliterated from your life at all costs.
They must be dealt with like the diseases that they are with swift and radical treatment. Otherwise, they will continue to fester and grow within you -- and before you know it, your physical world will reflect the sickness that permeates your mind.
In fact, your current circumstances already reflect your internal belief system -- whether you know it or not. Your physical reality is formed by what you think is possible, combined with the actions you take and how you show up in the world.
The U.S. government may have a debt ceiling, but you have internal ceilings of your own. And one of them can be described as a "growth ceiling."
That's right, your personal experience of income, joy, creativity, love and much more is very much determined by what you believe is possible and what you feel you deserve.
These factors are at work in your life whether the media is saying the economy is soaring, plummeting or in neutral. So it's a good idea to not let the Bastards in your door at any time. But during times of mass gloom-filled hypnosis, it's especially important to stand guard at the doorway to your mind.
I Repeat ... Don't Let the Bastards in the Door!
By remaining in control of your attitude and outlook, you are in a much better position to see opportunities, maintain your enthusiasm, and take constructive steps to get out of any financial mess you may be in (or to help loved ones get through a challenge they are going through).
The other choice is to be sucked into the doomsday rhetoric, let the Bastards get a foot in your door, and before long your entire mental house will be filled with poison. This will cause you to retreat, miss opportunities because you are too pessimistic to see them, withhold taking action because "everyone is hurting now," and on and on.
In which position would you rather be?
One way you remain empowered and in control. The other way you succumb to being a victim.
Here are three quick ways you can keep the Bastards outside your door:
1) Go on a news and media diet. It's okay to be aware of world events and to be an informed consumer and citizen. But that doesn't mean you have to submit yourself to a constant barrage of negative news programming. (There's a reason it's called "programming.") Cut way back on your weekly intake of traditional media.
To keep the Bastards from getting in your door and infecting your mind, you may need a big dose of preventative medicine. My drugs of choice are books and audio programs that remind me of my potential and recharge my outlook and skills set. Doing this will strengthen the hinges on your mental door.
The media would have you believe there's a boogeyman "out there" trying to get you. But the real culprit is the Bastard that you willingly allow inside your door!
2) Be extremely grateful for what you have. I don't want to get all "Oprah" on you and tell you to start journaling (although that can be very helpful if you're into it). But I can't stress enough the power of appreciating what you already have. So start today to count your many blessings.
When you truly appreciate the richness and abundance of the life you already lead, it gives you a much firmer launching pad from which to grow. When you only focus on what's missing and what's wrong, there's little gas in the tank to get you moving.
So, what are you grateful for? Your health or your family? Do you have a place to live, a car to drive, or clothes to wear? What about the amazing technology we have today that allows us to communicate so effortlessly? How about your gifts, talents, friends, fans, and the good deeds you have personally witnessed recently?
Going on a "rampage of appreciation" will improve your outlook. I guarantee it!
3) Be open, available and eager for more. Hand in hand with your extreme gratitude should be an openness and eagerness to experience more. Being deeply appreciative of what you have and where you are does not mean you have to settle - that this is as good as it will ever get.
Life is all about growth, evolution and expansion. All you have to do is observe nature for a while to understand this concept. You should live your life in accordance with these natural laws too. Appreciate what you have, and simultaneously open yourself up to be, do, have, and create more.
Both factors are needed. Gratitude without growth can lead to stagnation. And wanting more without appreciating what you have will leave you feeling empty along the journey. So appreciate where you are AND where you are going!
Of course, this state of eagerness for growth must be combined with action. The good news is, your actions will flow more energetically and much easier once these three steps are fully embraced.
There you have it. My prescription for overcoming the disease of economic doom and gloom: Go on a news and media diet; be extremely grateful for what you have; be open, available and eager for more; take affirmative action.
I hope these ideas help you through this and any other troubling time ahead. But whatever you do ...
Don't let the Bastards in the door!

Mike Dennis
Mike is an ABRSM Grade 8 (with distinction) classically-trained violinist. He has years of teaching experience and has led and played in several county orchestras.
Mike has been learning and playing the violin since the age of 9. After the first three months of school violin lessons, he was really not enjoying the instrument and wanted to give up until he learned how to play "Bright Eyes" from the film, Watership Down, and after that, the penny dropped!
He currently performs under his own name using his violin, a loop pedal and several pieces of percussion to create, believe it or not, very cool hip hop music which he raps and recites poetry over. It must be seen to be believed, the video is from his talk at TEDx Cardiff.
Hopefully, this goes some way to showing you the musicality that can be nurtured through learning this beautiful, versatile instrument.
Mike is available for group and private lessons now.

Grand History Trail
From Gettysburg to Maryland
On October 30, 2014 a GHT Economic Summit meeting was held at the Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP) with key leaders and business owners in the Gettysburg community. Don Gogniat, the founding influence for the GHT, and Karl Knoch from the RTC, presented information about the GHT and the economic benefits that similar trails have created in other areas of Pennsylvania. HABPI offered to lead an effort to conduct a trail feasibility study to find a route for the GHT from Gettysburg to Emmitsburg.
HABPI conducted a large group meeting on January 29, 2015 with local business leaders and local elected officials to discuss the GHT and the desire to build the Adams County portion from Gettysburg to the Maryland border near Emmitsburg. Participants then broke into four smaller groups and were asked to draw on maps of Adams County, showing where they thought a good route for the trail should be located. A small-group leader worked with each group, taking notes and recording ideas. Two weeks later the small-group leaders and a few other key people met to discuss the recommendations that came out of the first meeting. This group became our 'Steering Committee' and was comprised of one representative from Cumberland Township, Freedom Township, Liberty Township, the Borough of Gettysburg, the Lutheran Seminary, the Adams County Office of Planning and Development, and the Gettysburg National Military Park, along with board members for HABPI.
One of the key recommendations of this 'Steering Committee' was to build a trail alongside roadways within the municipal right-of-way (ROW) for the roadway. This would minimize the need for using private land but in cases where the ROW was not sufficient, trail easements on private land along the roadway would be needed. Another recommendation was to try and use part of Marsh Creek on a possible route and there was a recommendation to find an off-road route using farm fields and rural land. The Steering Committee (SC) evaluated all recommendations and developed about 10 possible routes. To evaluate the possible routes, the SC Chairman, with help from drivers, videotaped all the road segments in each route. A sample video is available here. The SC then viewed the videotapes and evaluated the roadways during a series of meetings. The SC met at least eight times over a period of ten months. Many of the SC members had lived in Adams County for a decade or more and several rode their bicycles on the roads being evaluated so their intent was to reduce the amount of road evaluation that would be needed by a professional firm hired to conduct a trail feasibility study.
Timing was good as Gettysburg National Military Park (GNMP) was undertaking a trail study to update and improve their trail system. The prospect of finding a feasible trail route from Gettysburg to Maryland seemed to have a good chance of succeeding, especially with the cooperation of the GNMP. In addition, Frederick County, MD was starting to review their trail plans with the intent of developing more trails in the county. In September 2015 a group of bicycle riders from York rode the proposed route for the GHT, stopping in Gettysburg and other key locations along the route, speaking with local and state government officials whenever possible.
In 2016, Healthy Adams Bicycle/Pedestrian, Inc. (HABPI) submitted a grant application to the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) for funding to conduct the trail feasibility study. Unfortunately, HABPI was not able to secure matching funds and coupled with the limited funds available to non-profit organizations, a grant was not approved.
In 2017 HABPI partnered with the Gettysburg Area Recreation Authority (GARA) to seek funding for the trail feasibility study. In December 2017 the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) awarded a grant for half the cost. To match the DCNR grant, money was received from the Adams County Greenspace Grant Program, Destination Gettysburg, the Rotary Club of Gettysburg, Adams Electric Cooperative, Thrivent Financial, and numerous individual donors. A professional firm with expertise in conducting trail feasibility studies will be contracted in early 2018 to begin the work. Here is a map of the study area.

Like many southern Illinois farms, the Scates' family had numerous acres under water this spring.
Tim Scates remembers planting in April, only to watch as about four feet of water covered over 2,000 acres of their operation. They had dealt with flooding close to this magnitude in 1997 and 2005.
After the water receded, they were able to get the flooded acres planted, albeit that was around June 3. Planting this late, Scates expects harvest will be moved back to late September, if the weather is cooperative.
Perhaps even more frustrating than the delayed planting has been repairing their center pivot irrigation systems. Scates says they removed each motor that was submerged for an overhaul. If that wasn't enough of a hassle, powerful winds in May damaged about 60 center pivots.
"We've had a good amount of rain lately," Scates explains. "But, we could be in trouble if it starts to dry out. We've really got to get these irrigation systems up and running."
Along with the center pivots, the Scates' farm office, grain-bin setup and machine shed were under water. Scates' uncle, who lives next door to the Carmi farm shop, held out as long as he could. When he started having to use a boat to get around, Scates says he decided to evacuate.
He wasn't alone. A significant portion of Carmi was under water. Scates says folks had to drive at least 10 miles around it to avoid the water.
Despite the lake-like conditions, work continued for many of the White County farmers.
"Everyone pitched in and helped each other out," Scates remembers. "The neighbor set up a generator so my uncle could run his freezer while we waited for the water to go down."
At one point, the Scates crew set about tracking down farm equipment before it floated too far away. At $500 to $700 apiece, Scates says the center pivot spare tires were high priority. When someone would come upon one, they would tie it to the nearest tree and make a note of where it was. Once the water went down, Scates says they were able to track down nearly all of them.

Sponsoring Our Swim Club
We are a non-profit society that is operated by volunteers. All funds we generate are used for developing important skills for swimming and for life.
We have excelled as a Competitive Swim Club for over 40 years and strive to be professional and serve a larger membership at all times.
In order to develop all participants from and to the greater community, it is important to keep our membership fees affordable. Currently our funding is split evenly between membership fees, government grants and fundraising.
The Trail Stingrays has corporate sponsorship programs available. We understand that local companies benefit from participating in their community and we think our club is an ideal entity to showcase that participation.
Our club is family oriented, visible and appeals to a broad demographic. Programs vary in cost and corporate exposure. We invite local businesses to contact us to inquire about involvement with the STINGRAYS.
Swim A Thon Sponsorship Program
Our Swim a thon is an economical way to get community exposure through one of our main fundraising activities. Our team members swim 64 lengths totaling a mile in the Trail pool. This generates funds through individual pledges for each length a swimmer completes.
Retailers and local business can sponsor all our swimmers for a designated amount per length. This places your name and logo printed at the top of our sponsorship forms that are circulated throughout the communities as swimmers canvas to increase sponsorship. You will also get logo representation on our website sponsor page and visibility on our poolside monitor and banners.
A 10 cent per length pledge would translate into approximately $320.00 commitment for your company. A pledge of any amount is welcome in this program and makes a significant contribution to our overall revenue requirement.
Swim Meet Sponsorship Program
This is another one time event that highlights your company to the Kootenay Region during our annual swim meet at the Trail Aquatic Centre. We usually get about 250 swimmers visiting from throughout the region and their families for a period of two days. This will give you exposure on our monitor screen, website sponsor page, swim programs sold on site and our poolside banners.
The contribution for this program is based on a minimum of $200.00 and larger contributions will influence the positioning and size of your corporate logo at the event.
Funds from this program contribute to costs associated with the meet.Click Here To Inquire About Our Sponsorship Programs

So many modern occupations have only existed a short time, like web designer, so if you try to look back and guess, where would you be working? Write in the comments and let us know!

KPN iTV
To successfully deliver true high-definition television, on-demand video services, and time-shift capabilities, KPN iTV had to make sure its services would give consumers a superb viewing experience. NetIQ Operations Center enabled KPN iTV to map its business services to the underlying IT infrastructure, providing a complete, visual, and intuitive and business-centric overview of the company's core business processes and allowing the company to proactively ensure service continuity.
"Instead of business managers responding in a reactive manner to information that slowly filters up from the ICT team, they can immediately grasp the issues and ensure that the correct actions are being taken."Willem HaumerssenNational Operations Centre Manager, KPN iTV
About KPN iTV
KPN is the leading telecommunications and information-and-communications technology (ICT) service provider in the Netherlands. The company currently provides its Internet TV (iTV) service to more than 300,000 households and has more than 30,000 full-time employees.
KPN has a goal to be a leading next generation iTV provider in Europe, combining true high-definition television, on-demand video services, and time-shift capabilities (the ability to pause, record, or rewind live TV programs) in a package delivered over broadband connections.
Introducing a high-profile media product in a competitive marketplace is potentially tricky. Because media consumers are able to discuss poor experiences with one another at the touch of a button, KPN needed to be sure that its service would be completely robust.
"We wanted to have direct, real-time, proactive control over the customer experience to make sure that everything would run perfectly," said Jacob Groote, director of the National Operations Centre. "Delivering a huge range of interactive television content over the Internet involves a large number of different systems and technologies, all of which must be monitored and managed to ensure a good customer experience. The key challenge was to find a way to aggregate all of the technical information into a dashboard that would show the end-to-end customer experience in real time."
Our Solution
For any company managing complex business processes that span multiple systems, it can be difficult to gain a clear, top-level view of the business's overall health. Traditional monitoring solutions tend to reveal only isolated technical problems, without showing the impact the problems will ultimately have as they progress down the chain of business processes. When such monitoring solutions aggregate data, the information they produce is often too technical and they take too long to deliver it.
Working with Q-TC, a leader in business-alignment solutions, KPN iTV implemented an advanced business service management solution based on Operations Center. The solution provides real-time dashboards showing the business impact of events in the ICT infrastructure.
KPNiTV can now proactively identify and resolve issues anywhere in the chain, from broadcaster to viewer, allowing KPN iTV to deliver very high-quality services to its customers.
"We were facing the classic disconnect between IT and business, and we needed to get them completely aligned, in real time," said Willem Haumerssen, manager of the National Operations Centre. "Working with Q-TC, we built a real-time dashboard using Operations Center software, which has enabled us to ensure that our ICT operations are completely business-centric."
Q-TC completed a successful proof of concept in KPN's national operations center within just eight weeks. KPN iTV put the solution through its paces in a six-week trial, then signed a three-year contract.
With Operations Center, KPN iTV can see which services depend on which elements in the IT infrastructure, making it easier for separate teams to work together to resolve performance degradation or outages. The solution also makes it easier for KPN iTV to prioritize issues in terms of their effects on the customer experience.
"The Operations Center and Q-TC solution presents technical information in the language and context of the business services we offer to customers," said Haumerssen. "Instead of business managers responding in a reactive manner to information that slowly filters up from the ICT team, they can immediately grasp the issues and ensure that the correct actions are being taken."
Operations Center is an open, easy-to-integrate solution that combines product maturity with rapid deployment capabilities. It gives KPN iTV a real-time view of, and control over, service levels. It also enables the company to more intelligently prioritize technical fixes, minimizing escalations."
Operations Center is helping us to visualize, in real time, how our ICT environment is performing against our business objectives," said Groote. "This minimizes our risk, improves internal efficiency, accelerates problem resolution and ensures that we can deliver an extremely high-quality service to our iTV customers in the Netherlands."
- Provided the ability to prioritize issues in terms of their effects on the customer experience
- Enabled companies to more intelligently prioritize technical fixes, minimizing escalations

CityGrips are simple handle covers for your stroller, which are available in two models at the moment: single bar, and double handle. They provide a bit of cushion and style for your stroller and are available in numerous colour and pattern options, so you are sure to be able to match your stroller. They are easy to apply and adjust with a velcro strip fastener running the length of the grip. The bar on my stroller is already padded so I didn't notice a great difference in comfort, but they sure do look cute!
CityHooks allow you to attach your baby bag right to the back of your stroller so you have easy access. They come two in a pack to support a large diaper bag, but I used a single one to hold a smaller diaper clutch. They are basically a plastic hook attached to a ring of velcro. I do like that they were an open hook, which allowed me quicker access than a closed clip. However I find the hook itself to be a little clunky, and well, plastic. So overall all the points for usefulness, not so many for style.

About the products from a graduate of our course:
I have never given any attention to my skin but am using the products every day…….. I am certainly noticing a difference. . I am going to ask one of my patients to try the rebalancing gel. it is ridiculous. A young girl with bad psoriasis and arthritis. She just had her methotrexate doubled because she was still having to use E45 on her skin! Honestly, it is so much easier for me. It is like having two different lives! Are you in contact with dermatologists about your creams?

Beloved... I usher you into the presence of the Lord where you may find love, mercy, grace, goodness, favour, rest, peace, joy, hope, strength, protection, provision, comfort.... As you call to the Lord and He will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
The Lord says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow you all the days of your life, and you shall dwell forever [throughout all your days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord."
Beloved, surely claim His promise with an AMEN!

With some 18 months to go before the 26th TAFISA World Congress in Tokyo, Japan (13-17 November, 2019), TAFISA Japan is actively working on laying the foundations of an outstanding event. Masanori Tamazawa from TAFISA Japan joined the TAFISA Office in Frankfurt, Germany for a working meeting on the organisation of the Congress.
The meeting was also the occasion to gather the ideas and knowledge of past Congresses during a 1-day workshop inviting the hosts from the last two Congresses (Budapest, Hungary 2015 and Seoul, Korea 2017) to share their experiences with the future Japanese host and the hosts of Ljubljana, Slovenia 2021. The TAFISA Office thus welcomed András Füleky and Róbert Benyhe from the Hungarian Leisure Sport Association, Stacey Kim from the TAFISA World Congress 2017 in Seoul, Korea's Organising Committee, and the hosts of the TAFISA World Congress 2021 in Ljubljana, Slovenia; Patrik Perosa (Sports Union Slovenia) and Janez Sodrznik (Slovenian Olympic Committee and TAFISA Board Member). One of the key outcomes of the meeting was aligning the TAFISA World Congress with Mission 2030 as it was adopted during the TAFISA General Assembly in 2017.
TAFISA is confident that this workshop will help future hosts better prepare for the next Congresses and will ensure the events' legacy through the years, marking a consistent continuity between TAFISA World Congresses.
Many thanks to the various hosts for their support, loyalty and hard work in contributing to the Sport for All movement.

Results 1 to 1 of 1
#1 Mitch McConnell Pushing Ray Kethledge for Supreme Court07-10-2018, 05:26 PMSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing for Judge Ray Kethledge to be President Donald Trumps nominee for the Supreme Court vacancy opened by the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, Breitbart News has learned.
McConnell has, in private conversations, said he is pushing Trump to pick Kethledge for the slot because he thinks Kethledges positions in contravention of the GOP base on certain issues like immigration would make him an easily-confirmed nominee in an election year.
McConnell has said he does not want a SCOTUS battle in an election year, one source briefed on McConnells comments to a variety of people around Washington, including at least one journalist whom the Senate Majority Leader spoke with off the record ahead of Mondays announcement. He thinks Kethledge would be easy to confirm because Kethledge is not a consistent conservative.

I think that one of the first things that coaches can do is calm their interactions with players when they're cueing them during the game and make it
Doug Lemov is a teaching expert. The author of the international bestseller Teach Like a Champion and Teach Like a Champion 2.0, Doug is also the founder and former Managing Director of Uncommon Schools. He is a sought after coach educator for U.S. Soccer, US Club Soccer and many other organizations and he has played a pivotal role in the professionalization of our coaching standards. Sideline Behavior and communication from coaches and parents during games can often be a distraction to the players on the field.
"Something I'm excited to ask you about is, you kind of opened the door to it there, that statement, is the type, and this is from a coach's perspective, what roll, and I assume there's different styles of coaches, just like there's different styles of teachers, but what do you think a coach's role should be during the game when kids are trying to learn?"

With the cold, dry winter air here to stay for the foreseeable future, here is a super moisturizing, all-natural, chemical-free lip balm recipe you can make at home in just 10 minutes or less! It has a wonderful scent with the clove and sweet orange essential oils and makes for an excellent gift with Christmas approaching.
This recipe comes from Mountain Rose Herb's blog where they have tons of recipes for all-natural living and homemaking. I love their products and company as they are green inside and out! They are one company I can really stand behind. They sent me these ingredients, all of which you can buy online in the comfort of your PJ's and no makeup (my fav part!) and not have to hunt at speciality stores:
Homemade Lip Balm Recipe
- 1 tablespoon Organic Shea Butter (or buy it at Amazon)
- 3 tablespoons Organic Sunflower Oil (Almond and Grapeseed Oils will also work)
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Beeswax (or buy it at Amazon)
- 25 drops organic Sweet Orange essential oil (or buy it here)
- 5 drops Organic Clove essential oil (or buy it here)
So, I was really not paying attention (blame it on pregnancy brain, being tired, and two rambunctious boys running around at the same time!) and accidentally added 3 times the amount of beeswax I needed. Needless to say, the recipe was super hard and not useable! After it all hardened in the tins, I scooped it out with a spoon and melted it back down in the double boiler, adding more oils to complete the recipe. Now I have enough balm to give to EVERYONE for Christmas! It will literally fill a dozen or more tubes or tins.
I loved using Mountain Rose Herb's shea butter- normally I buy mine from Amazon and have been happy with it, but this was free of impurities (like tree bark) and was so easy to scoop out. The above recipe makes enough to fill about 6 small tins – such a cheap, but special gift to give!
How To Make Your Own Lip Balm
- Chop your beeswax bar in half (it's 1 ounce, and there are about 2 tablespoons in 1 ounce). I would start with that because the recipe turned out rather hard when I used the full amount of beeswax, making it hard to rub onto my finger and use.
- Melt all the ingredients in double boiler (I don't have an official double boiler, so I use one smaller pot inside of a bigger pot of boiling water). It will take 5 minutes or so on low to medium heat.
- Pour directly from the pan into your tubes or tins and it will harden in about 5 minutes. Done!

Nutty Chocolate Caramel Pizza
A decadent, rich dessert in a fun pizza!
Quick Facts
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Bake Time: 12 to 15 minutes
Yield: 1 (12-inch) pizza
Caramel Sauce:
1/4 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
8 caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast
OR Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup very warm water (120° to 130°F)
3 tablespoons oil
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup Fisher® Chopped Walnuts
3/4 cup shredded coconut
To make the Caramel Sauce: Combine corn syrup, butter and caramels together in small saucepan over medium heat. As caramels begin to melt, stir in cream and continue heating and stirring until mixture simmers. Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat; if necessary, continue stirring until caramels are completely melted. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (If not using Pizza Yeast, allow dough to rest 10 minutes.)
Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Partially bake the crust for 7 to 8 minutes.
Pour Caramel Sauce on top of the crust. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, walnuts, and coconut.
Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until coconut is browned.

Image is colored with Copics and then I added Atyou Spicas and Sakura pens for sparkle on the buttons and the background. I used 2 of my favorite hair color combos in this image
For AJ's brown hair - E53, E34 and E57
For Audrey's Red Hair - E08, E19, E59 and then a dash of YR24 added at the end
I tried to keep my color pattern pretty consistent throughout the image, so I also used the brown combo for Audrey's shoes and AJ's shorts, although I did also added E59 for the darkest color on AJ's shorts. AJ's shoes use the same color combo I used on Audrey's hair.
Other colors I chose include:
Audrey's shorts and bandana - BG78, BG49, BG57 and BG53, also used for AJ's bottom ice cream scoop.
AJ's shirt and socks - YR18, YR16 and YR14
Ice cream cones - YR28, YR24, YR21
Yellow ice cream Y17, Y18
Audrey's t-shirt and socks RV17, RV14, RV13
Pink ice cream RV66, RV19
I cut the image our with MFT die and added a tag from Nesties. DP is Doodlebug Designs and CS is Bazzill. You will notice when I color, I typically try to take all the colors I use on the image from the colors on my papers. I made the bow using my Bow Easy with ribbon from my stash and then added a button and some bling on the tag. Sure hope you like it and hope it has provided you some inspiration. Until next time...
