Breckenridge backs off Breck365, a project featuring 100-plus apartments on the Block 11 property
Breckenridge has pulled away from the town's next workforce housing project after estimated construction costs came in significantly higher than anticipated.
Eying a modular-construction method in which individual apartments would have been built in a factory off-site, hauled to Breckenridge and then put together on the property almost like Legos, town staff got their first estimates for the Breck365 apartments on Feb. 26.
Unfortunately, at $36 million the figure was simply "a non-starter," said senior planner Laurie Best.
Breck365 was envisioned as the next phase of workforce housing in the town gripped by a housing crisis. The land on which it would have been built sits on the Block 11 property, north of downtown and just south of another workforce housing neighborhood, the Blue 52 townhomes.
Breck365 called for just over 100 rental apartments with a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units inside 11 buildings on the 5-acre plot. Initially, it was pegged as a $25 million project.
That forecast price tag had crept up to $28 million when the town received the last estimate featuring a traditional construction before council members and town staff considered taking on the project using a modular-construction method.
After touring a production facility in Boise, Idaho, late last year, town officials had hoped to save money and valuable construction time by going modular. As it turned out, though, the lowest estimate Breckenridge could get was $36 million all-in, Best said.
"It was disappointing, but we did learn a lot about the modular process, when it works and when it doesn't work," she told town council last week, explaining that modular construction might work better with something like a hotel, which doesn't have so many architectural features.
Even though the town won't move forward with its plans for Breck365 at this point, Best said over the phone Monday that Breckenridge has not abandoned workforce housing on the Block 11 property.
In fact, town staff are revisiting the project and pivoting back to a traditional-construction method, Best said. However, with the shifting construction method, some components of the project could change as well.
For example, Best said she could see Breckenridge reducing the project's density and bringing in a new mix of housing types, including some for-sale units, as opposed to strictly apartment rentals.
Realizing the size of the project was driving the cost, the town could look to bite off smaller projects and fill in Block 11 piecemeal, she added. Most importantly, Breckenridge is committed to "building a community" on Block 11, Best said.
During last week's discussions about Breck365, council expressed some concerns with the pace of the project and unit types. Additionally, Councilwoman Erin Gigliello said she would like to have a community forum and hear what residents feel like Breckenridge's biggest housing needs actually are. There was also some talk about breaking up the architectural style compared to Blue52.

At this year's Scream Awards, I was able to land a few minutes with director Wes Craven on the red carpet. As most of you are well aware, Craven just wrapped principal photography on Scream 4 and while he was a bit guarded about saying too much about the plot, he did reveal the movie "is a lot about looking back at the last ten years of horror and comparing it and contrasting it and having fun with it." He also said the word "meta" is used a fair amount in the movie. We also talked about the struggle trying to keep the film a mystery with all the paparazzi and fans trying to take pictures of the cast on the set.
Hit the jump to watch the interview. He also revealed he just saw the editors assembly of the movie…
Finally, if you haven't seen the trailer for Scream 4 (which was just released), click here.

Tensions Rise After Death of African Man in China
Protests by Africans in Guangzhou over the death of a Nigerian man in police custody drew attention to racial tensions between locals and the southern city's large population of African immigrants. The WSJ's Josh Chin gives Deborah Kan the details.

Industry – Belgium/Europe
Country Focus: Belgium
Genre film: let the right transmedia strategy in
- Frontières hosts a panel on how new opportunities for genre storytelling on transmedia platforms may enhance the financing and release of genre films
The Frontières International Co-Production Market in Brussels is in full swing. After presenting the projects at a pitching session that boosted networking possibilites for every filmmaker involved, the gathering hosted a day dedicated to shedding some light on new opportunities for genre filmmaking. The Transmedia & Genre Narratives panel, presented by the Canada – Wallonia Digital Media Incentive for Multiplatform Projects, and introduced by Wallimage head of CrossMedia and Cineuropa editor-in-chief Domenico La Porta, addressed this subject, pointing out the strategies that could be used in order to make the most of the new models of film marketing and distribution that are being discovered as the digital shift rolls in.
Most notably, Wallimage CrossMedia has been involved in genre and animation projects such as Ari Folman's The Congress [+see also:
film review
film profile], and Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar and
Benjamin Renner's Ernest & Célestine [+see also:
film review
interview: Benjamin Renner, Vincent Pa…
film profile], and in the marketing campaigns for Fabrice du Welz's Alleluia [+see also:
film review
making of
interview: Fabrice Du Welz
film profile] (launching the online fanzine Faith, which attracted viewers by publishing making-of content as a brand-new, four-edition magazine) and Jonas Govaerts' Cub [+see also:
film review
film profile]. The latter film, the first Flemish-language horror movie, benefited from an interactive game in which QR codes on posters became traps when scanned, which would lead the user and potential viewer to start playing with them until they got to the rewarding goodies. But the idea behind the game also helped to get the crowdfunding campaign going, under the "Buy a trap, kill a cub" label. Potemkino's Peter de Maegd, the producer of the film, stressed that the strategy they used was a very successful one, leading them not only to get people into theatres to see the movie, but also to get the press to talk about the campaign itself. "We even got to be on the front page of the most important Flemish newspaper, over and above a news item about a terrorist fleeing the country," continued de Maegd. The momentum the film gained close to its release date was enhanced by its huge visibility on the internet, through exclusive videos on different media outlets and an exhaustive focus on social networks, led by the filmmakers themselves.
The other project featured in the discussion, David Muñoz's Once Upon a Time in Jerusalem – defined by Muñoz himself as "The Life of Brian meets Braindead" – also proved to be an illustrative case study on the topic. The film inspired a video game that rocketed to the top of the lists of the most-played games on platforms such as Steam, even before the film itself was made – in fact, it is looking for financiers at the Frontières market.
Believing that visibility and communication on the internet are now key to the success of the theatrical release of films, Wallimage CrossMedia aims to continue working with projects interested in exploring the new tools that the innovative digital world offers to the film industry. "There are expert transmedia architects now that will help you to define a custom strategy for your project, adapting to every need it may have," stated La Porta.

I've always heard people say on the internet things like "you owe me a new monitor" and such, but this video finally brought it home un-metaphorically. The last astronaut caused my wife spit out a prodigious amount of coffee, completely soaking my lappy, both keyboard and screen.
In other news, Macbook Pros can apparently get pretty wet and still work fine. And it turns out coffee is a pretty good screen cleaner.
Of course a centrifuge can only simulate more gravity, not less,. To experiment with less than 1 g they have to use devices like the "vomit comet": a plane that flies a parabolic course and can for a very short time simulate gravity of less than 1 g. (indeed most of the footage of people on it show them simulating zero g.)
As someone who went to Space Camp and got to walk in a moonwalk simulator, I can say that walking in 1/6 G is a LOT harder than you'd imagine. You have hardly any traction and the instinct to push against the ground to gain more just sends you flying upwards at a precipitous pace.
I think it's pretty clear you'd end up scooting forward on your toes in a skipping motion. Legs kind of apart to the front and behind, paranoid as hell that you'd fall and break something in the massive backpack that keeps you alive. Just like the astronauts did!
The experimental set-up in this case had subjects lie on their backs so that earth's gravity was evenly distributed along that body axis. Spinning of the centrifuge emulated a gravitational force on the feet. So, they could and did investigate force of <1 g. It's not perfect, but controls showed that the emulated gravity did have an effect similar to that of natural gravitational force on perceived orientation.

The money was paid two weeks ago "for co-operation" in the upcoming legal case, Le Thanh Kinh said.
Both families have since written to the authorities asking them to drop child rape charges, which they have done.
But Glitter, who denies all charges, is still thought to be facing charges of child molestation.
Police said they had not produced enough evidence to bring the child rape charges to court.
If convicted on those charges, Glitter, 61, could have faced death by firing squad.
"If we pay the money for the two families, when this case goes to court, maybe Mr Gary will receive a lighter penalty," his lawyer told the AP news agency.
"After receiving the money, they informed the investigation bureau that they don't want to go to court and they want to drop the case."
Prosecutor Nguyen Van Xung told AP the money would have no bearing on whether the case goes to trial but that "the court may consider it as one factor to lessen the sentence".
But Stephen Jakobi from campaign group Fair Trials Abroad described the Glitter payments as "shameful".
If found guilty of child molestation, Glitter - whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd - faces up to 12 years in jail.
Allegations denied
BBC correspondent Tony Cheng said that, without the co-operation of the two girls, aged 11 and 12, who initiated the arrest, it was unclear what evidence the Vietnamese authorities could rely on.
Glitter denies allegations that he molested the girls at his home in the resort of Vung Tau, where he has lived for the last six months.
He was arrested at Ho Chi Minh City airport on 19 November as he tried to leave Vietnam for Thailand.
His detention was extended by four months at the start of December while the claims were investigated.
Glitter was found guilty in the UK in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served two months in jail.

'China will stick to the path of peaceful development,' says Li Zhaoxing
Li Zhaoxing, the no-nonsense former foreign minister of China who often courts international controversy with his blunt style, made headlines again last week when giving a speech at a university campus in Shenzhen.
"There are some that believe China and the US are two global powers and could govern the world together. Only a fool would believe this kind of talk," Li said during an event on September 12 organised by the Atlantic Council of the United States at the Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen.
Several Chinese media outlets misinterpreted this quote, and reported Li had said, "Only a fool would believe that China is now number two in the world."
"China will never seek to become number one, number two, or number three." LI ZHAOXING
In another Atlantic council event in Washington DC last night, Li addressed this misinterpretation, and explained that striving for hegemony and ranked status among nations was not China's priority,Chinanews.com reported.

"China will never seek to become a hegemonic power," Li said, a line that he has repeated for decades. "China will stick to the path of peaceful development and will rely upon the sweat and tears of its own people to expand and grow. China will never seek to become number one, number two, or number three."
Li also said that China was still a developing country, with one hundred million living people below the poverty line, and needed to reach a consensus with other nations on power relations and "mutually beneficial co-operation."
"China should strengthen co-operation with other developing countries as a foundation for diplomatic work and engage in positive relations with its neighbours," Li said. "Of course, it is also particularly important for China to develop relationships with global powers such as the US."
Li is no stranger to the Sino-US relations, and first came to prominence as China's ambassador to the United Nations between 1993 and 1995. He later served as China's ambassador in Washington.
His most famous outspoken remarks include calling Nato's bombing of China's Belgrade embassy "no casual mistake" in 1999.
He has also spoken out against improper usage of the Chinese language, and said in 2012 he "detested … people who like to mix English words in their [Putonghua] conversations."

Do you think Norfolk is a great place to live?
PUBLISHED: 13:09 04 March 2018 | UPDATED: 13:09 04 March 2018
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2010
Norfolk has been rated as one of the best places to live in the country for its culture and environment - but poorly on the availability of good, stable jobs.
The Thriving Places Index gave areas of the country scores depending on survey respondents' answers to questions on their quality of life.
The county was given high ratings in environment, life expectancy, people's participation in the community and its sense of culture.
However the research - conducted by the charity Happy City - gave Norfolk a low rating for good jobs, which is based on whether people are in permanent, stable employment as oppose to short-term, temporary contracts.
The county is known to be facing more than 1,000 potential job losses with the closure of the Colman's and Britvic site, along with the CITB's planned relocation to Peterborough and 231 BAE Systems workers facing redundancy at RAF Marham.
However the county actually scores better for people who are economically active.
John Fuller, leader of South Norfolk Council, said the area has a "dynamic economy" but added: "For those who want a slow pace of life, there's plenty to offer."
He added that there are a number of well-paid, high-level jobs - particularly in food and farming, where Norfolk is known to be an international leader in agricultural research.
"In Norfolk you can match real high ambition with quality of life," Mr Fuller said.
"We have superb natural assets like the Broads and a wonderful coastline - and you can't forget the global brand that is Cambridge right on our doorstep. We've got everything."
Mr Fuller said one of the challenges for councils is attracting the best candidates to high quality jobs.
But he said: "Let's not underestimate the global leadership in food, drink and agriculture research here.
"Some of the solutions to the challenges of the next 50 years for humanity are coming out of Norfolk.
"To match that with our world-class landscape, coastline and environment is a great thing."
Suffolk scored similarly to Norfolk in most categories, although it got slightly less for culture and was rated higher for good jobs.
Cambridgeshire scored more highly across the board, particularly for employment and life expectancy.

He may need help carrying his musical equipment and it is hard now to stand and play, but Wayne plans to keep on doing what he loves.
"Music has been my whole life.," he said. "I told myself, when I turn 80, I'll give it up. But I changed my mind. I got to be 80 quicker than I thought."
Now 84, Wayne continues to play in a band called The Riverrest Trio and Friends, named for a place in Florida where he and his wife used to live for part of the year after they retired. They have keyboards, a trumpet, bass guitar, banjo and Wayne's saxophone. "We just play the old stuff," Wayne said. "The crowds we play for, they're our age."
Whenever he is able to, Wayne plays with the band at nursing facilities, the Wilmington Senior Center, weddings, and last year they played a concert at the nearby historic Jamestown Theatre.
The music began when Wayne was a child and pulled his mother's old saxophone out of storage. His father played the marimba and the two had great fun playing together. Later, Wayne joined the U.S. Air Force and played in military bands as he traveled around the country.
Former vice president of the First National Bank in Lebanon, Wayne retired in 1994. He and his wife, Marjorie – whom he had known since kindergarten – spent many years as "snowbirds" in Florida, but her health declined and she eventually had to move to a nursing home where she passed away. Wayne has three children, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, with a sixth on the way.
Wayne enrolled in the Clinton County Elderly Services Program in July 2011. Two back surgeries have left him with limited mobility and he uses a walker. He receives homemaking help, an emergency response device, and personal care.
Two years ago, Wayne moved into senior housing built and operated by Clinton County Community Action Program.
"I just love it here," he said. "The people I've met – we get along so well. My kids are going to buy me a glider for my porch. People stop and come up on my porch to talk and I like that."

The aptly-named 100 Walls Church in Cebu, Philippines, is like an architectural Rorschach test: From far away, it looks like shards of shale rock rearranged by an extreme rationalist. Up close, it's something closer to an oversized geometric maze. CAZA Architects, who designed the building, describe it on their site as "a Stegosaurus doing yoga." Namaste.
Forgoing the ol' the-higher-the-spire, the-closer-to-Christ theory that guided so many places of worship in the distant past.

Great job on that!Couple of things I've found to make it easier. Drill your holes instead of punching them. And, a little teflon tape will keep thosv Chicago screws from backing out if you don't have loctite handy.

Foreign Policy
- President Nixon participated in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) with Soviet Secretary General Brezhnev in 1972 as part of the effort to temper the Cold War through diplomatic détente.

- Brought home the POWs from Vietnam, and hosted the largest reception in White House history in their honor.
- Initiated Project Independence in reaction to the oil embargo of 1973, which set a timetable to end reliance on foreign oil by 1980.
- In 1970, President Nixon avoided a second Cuban Missile Crisis involving a Soviet submarine base by adhering to his policy of hard-headed détente, an active rather than passive form of diplomacy.
- Supported Israel with massive aid in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, which Prime Minister Golda Meir later said saved her country.

Illinois residents wishing to purchase, possess or use firearms generally must have a Firearm Owner's Identification card. You can download the most current application from the Illinois State Police website here. There are exceptions to this "must have FOID card to touch a gun/ammunition" rule, including one for individuals receiving firearm training instruction from a FOID cardholder, but generally speaking, you need to get one if you don't have one.
Your spouse / significant other / kids / grand kids should all have a FOID cards as well, to preclude issues of them borrowing your car with a gun and/or ammunition inside. Even a single .22 caliber rimfire cartridge rolling around under the seat can spell big trouble for your loved one should they run into the wrong police officer / sheriff's deputy. Need another reason? When they have their own FOID card, they can buy you firearms and ammunition for birthdays and Christmas. (Hint, hint).
Transporting Firearms in Illinois.
Illinois does not have conventional carry of firearms as forty-nine other states do. We have something called "fanny pack carry" which is (please suppress your giggles) the carry of an unloaded, encased firearm by a FOID card holder. Kind of like Barney Fife, but without the single cartridge in the gun.
We told you not to laugh.
K-Bar makes an excellent fanny-pack and it's available at Wal-Mart online at their Site-to-Store option. $25ish. Highly recommended as it's comfortable, fairly small and discrete.
We at Guns Save Life call it "Six Seconds to Safety". Why six seconds? Well, there's some alliteration going on there, and also typically speaking, it takes about six seconds to draw from a fanny pack, load and fire two A-zone hits (that would be the center of the chest of a bad guy for the non-shooters reading this) with your personal protection tool.
Don't take our word for it. Browse the Illinois State Police website's document library. Download the Illinois State Police "Transport Your Gun Legally" flyer. Print it out and put it in your fanny pack or other case where you transport your firearm. (Here it is on our server).
Illinois did pass, through an over-ride of the governor's veto, a right-to-carry law back in July 2013. It is still in the development phase as the Illinois State Police are going to release applications around New Year's and will start issuing licenses in the weeks or (more likely) months afterward.
Many counties are tacitly allowing "FOID-carry" of loaded guns in lieu of an ISP-issued carry license. We don't recommend it. You could face felony charges and you are relying on officer- or prosecutor-discretion in a state where common sense seems to be less common with each passing week.
Don't get yourself arrested and catch a felony when we're literally weeks (albeit quite a few weeks) from carry licenses being issued. If you want to carry today, do so legally. Unloaded and encased.
This important document should be included in your firearm carrying case or other container. It can be downloaded (.pdf document) from the Illinois State Police website here.
For more information on the new law, and the Illinois State Police's list of approved instructors and courses, here's the link to the Illinois State Police's "Concealed Carry" web page.

By ANDREW LANG.
The languid sunset, mother of roses,
Lingers a light on the magic seas,
... The wide fire flames, as a flower uncloses,
Heavy with odor, and loose to the breeze.
The red rose clouds, without law or leader,
Gather and float in the airy plain;
The nightingale sings to the dewy cedar,
The cedar scatters his scent to the main.
The strange flowers' perfume turns to singing,
Heard afar over moonlit seas:
The Siren's song, grown faint in winging,
Falls in scent on the cedar trees.
As waifs, blown out of the sunset, flying,
Purple and rosy and gray, the birds
Brighten the air with their wings; their crying
Wakens a moment the weary herds.
Butterflies flit from the fairy garden,
Living blossoms of flying flowers;
Never the nights with winter harden,
Nor moons wax keen in this land of ours.
Great fruits, fragrant, green and golden,
Gleam in the green, and droop and fall;
Blossom and bud and flower unfolden
Swing and cling to the garden wall.
Deep in the woods as twilight darkens,
Glades are red with the scented fire;
Far in the dells the white maid hearkens
Song and sigh of the heart's desire.

I wanted to make a video where I explained all of the different types of inks and what they are used for and the special effects you can get from them. Unfortunately, I could not include all of the information below in the "more information" section below the video as YouTube said my description was too long. I am really sorry that I had to make you come to my blog to find this information, as I vowed that I would not make anyone do that, but don't have a choice in this case.
1. Dye Inks–These are the most common. They will fade in sunlight, are water based, fast drying and sink into the paper. It is see through and hard to tell the color in the ink pad. You'll find all kinds of shapes and sizes of dye ink pads, so you might want to buy a smaller ink pad for certain colors and a larger ink pad for others. Often times you will want to purchase a re-inker for inks that you use frequently, but you also might want to buy a new ink pad instead, as your ink pad might get worn. If you stamp a large background stamp, you might want to have a larger pad to stamp with. I recommend that you get a black ink pad in the larger size as you use black more often than others. I'll add information at the end for videos I've done on the best inks for different mediums (watercolors, water markers, alcohol inks, etc.) and a video for the best paper for alcohol marker blending.
2. Distress Inks–These are dye based inks that are water reactive. It's normally not used for normal stamping, but it is used for a lot of techniques. Most people will distress the edges of their papers with these inks, and use to watercolor or make great backgrounds, once you wet the ink and drop your paper into it. You can stamp an image and then take a wet paintbrush and touch the ink that's on the image and blend the ink around.
3. Spray Inks– Water based and can be plain or glittery and are hard to control when sprayed. If you have glittery spray ink, shake it like you are ringing a bell or the glitter gets into the sprayer and ruins the spray factor. Spray inks work well with stencils and creating backgrounds. You can create your own spray inks and if you do and you have any issues with your hands, you can buy a sprayer at the Dollar Tree that works really great that I show in the video.
4. Pigment Inks– They sit on the top of the paper and don't dry easily. You heat set them or emboss them to dry them. These inks are fade resistant and you can't see through them. The color in the container is the color of the ink. It's a thicker ink than dye based ink. If it is not heat-set, it will easily smear. I really like Unicorn White pigment ink as well as Versafine Onyx Black as one is a vibrant white and the other is a vibrant black.
5. Versamark Ink- a watermark stamp pad used for heat embossing or tone on tone looks. It's a very sticky ink and is clear. When you put embossing powder on it, because it is so sticky, the powder easily sticks to it. You can also use Versamark ink with chalks and pastels.
I discuss the difference between embossing powders and embossing folders. The folders are run through your die cutting machine and it creates a raised pattern to your paper. Embossing powder is used with pigment inks or Versamark ink with the powder on top, then heat set with a heat tool. It will turn a shiny color when it is melted. You should always heat up your tool before using it on your paper and move the tool around or your can burn your paper.
6. Hybrid Ink- A Combination of dye and pigment ink. It dries faster than pigment ink but doesn't bleed like dye inks can. It's not a very popular ink and I'm not sure why.
7. Chalk Inks–A thick ink primarily used for home décor projects. It works really well on darker colored papers as it keeps its color. I mentioned that you can use small pads on a big image with several colors on it. If you are doing a flower, you could put one color on the leaf and another on the outside of the flower and a third on the inside. Chalk inks will sometimes leave a white residue.
8.Hero Arts Ombre Ink–it is archival which means it is a permanent ink. I don't know if all ombre inks are archival, but Hero Arts is. It is waterproof and fade resistant. Originally ombre inks were one color that went from light to dark, but now ombre inks have graduated to a variety of colors that work well together.
9. Archival Inks–a permanent ink. They are harder to clean than other inks but are perfect to be used on long term projects. Waterproof and won't fade. The Color Box inks are the ones I like because the ink pad is very smooshy and easy to stamp with.
10. Staz-on –A solvent ink that works well on slick surfaces like glass, acetate, and wood etc. Great for home décor, like coasters. It delivers sharp detail and is quick drying. It needs reinked often and has a plastic cover that you must put back on immediately after use. In order to clean Staz-On off of your stamp, you need to use Hero Arts or similar cleanse immediately after use.. It stains your stamps and is almost impossible to remove. It smells strongly like almonds.
11. Distress Oxide Inks–Combination of dye and pigment ink and water reactive to create an oxide look. It looks chalky once it is misted with water and it oxidizes. Add more water more dye will seep to the surface and then you get the oxidization. The white oxidization does not wipe off like it can with chalk inks. In order to get the ink to come out of the pad, really press into the pad to get good amounts of ink.
You can layer colors infinitely as long as you use wet ink on a dry surface. If the layer is wet, you will blend your colors. The key is wet on wet, (wet ink on a wet paper) you'll blend the inks and if you use wet on dry (wet ink on a dry paper), the inks will layer.

What is living the spiritual life?
Living the spiritual life is something that is natural and normal unlike the worldly opinions some people may have about being spiritual. It is always natural and it is always normal, unlike other things that we come across in our day-to-day activities. The spiritual life is normal and natural precisely because it knows its source and your are born with it. Its Source is the infinite Light and the eternal Truth that governs all universal laws.
Spirituality is born in a person and develops in the person. It may be kick started by a religion, or it may be kick started by a revelation.
Spirituality extends to all facets of a person's life.
Spirituality is chosen while religion is often times forced. Being spiritual to me is more important and better than being religious.
True spirituality is something that is found deep within oneself. It is your way of loving, accepting and relating to the world and people around you. It cannot be found in a church or by believing in a certain way. We need to consider the following in favor of the spiritual path an example will be that there is not one religion, but hundreds of them and in turn there is only one type of spirituality.
Religion is for those who want to continue rituals and the formality and spirituality is for those who want to reach the spiritual ascent without dogmas, rituals and rules.
Spirituality is not religion. It's not the same thing that your parents or the guy in the suit knocking on your front door is pedaling. Spirituality arises from somewhere deep inside you. It is a belief that you harbor for no apparent reason.
You believe there is more to life, you have felt it affirmed a hundred times and perhaps through intuitions proven correct, amazing coincidences, a feeling the connection to oneness. Tap into this inner belief and hold it close. It may not be visible, but I believe it is very real.
Take time out to connect to your Soul. Follow your intuition, wherever it may take you. If you are not sure what your intuition feels like, then pay attention to your gut instinct, that initial feeling or thought that comes over you when you meet a new person, or are offered something new.
Try not to override that instinct. Think of all the times when you have said 'I wish I'd listened to my self'. Trust that intuition and see where it takes you.
Take time out to explore the natural world. City dwellers visit the park or simply look up to the sky. Shamanistic people believe that all things have a spirit. In my life I have been granted signs and signals from nature, and I have enjoyed its restorative power.
We are, after all, organic, living material, yet we close ourselves off with machines, bricks and walls. Get out into the open and feel the natural peace of nature. Notice the clarity that nature can bring to your frazzled and busy mind.
There are no mistakes. Stop beating yourself up about something you did, said or thought. Spiritual Living is not about being perfect. We are not here to float off into the divine ether quite yet. We are here to be human, we are here to mess up, and sometimes we mess up quite magnificently. We break hearts, we hurt people, we hurt ourselves.
As long as we choose to learn from those mistakes and not to repeat them then we are living spiritually. Go easy on your self. You are a spiritual being in a human body for a reason. Allow yourself that human weakness, and choose to learn from it.
Life still goes on with all the hardships and all. We all know that life is full of destruction, pain and chaos, and yet when it happens to us we balk at the unfairness of it all. Being spiritual means taking a step back, trying to see how are hardships are in fact great educators.
Think back to your last set of difficulties and consider how these have changed you as a person, for the better. Life is damned hard, but if we go with the flow of that hardship we stop fighting (resisting) and we start going with the flow. Try to remember that all things happen for reason, even the really awful things, somehow it all balance out.
Spirituality is about trusting in the path of your life, and while sometimes that path seems very hard, or people are put there to cross you, it's your job to think positively, and when relevant to release any negativity or foul thoughts you may have. Cleansing your mind and really taking control of your thoughts is a sure fire way to connect with your higher self and your intuition. When you do this, life becomes a little easier.
Spiritual Living is about getting back in contact with our souls and then the souls of others, to whom we are intimately connected. Offer out love and watch as the world becomes a little bit sweeter.
I want to inspire everyone to live a happier and more conscious life. It's time for us all to awaken and take responsibility for everything happening on this planet and around us. It's time for us to understand we are all creators, co-creating this world we live in.
The real Guru is not in the vast blue skies or a spiritual master somewhere but rather he is inside the very depth of our heart. You may ask, "If He is inside our heart, then why is it necessary for us to take help from somebody else to find Him?" Although this invaluable treasure is inside our heart, we cannot see it or feel it, so we need help. I had many personal teacher, who I call my spiritual teacher, they comes to us and teaches us how to find our own treasure.
In Spiritual Life Coaching we help you find that treasure within, you the client sets the agenda, identifies the vision, and creates the solutions. Clients draw on their own creativity and resources, including their relationship with the higher power and source. As coach, I help clients to clear away the obstacles and fears inhibiting their life and to keep on track with their vision so that they can realize their dreams and fulfill their purpose in life.
Prayer, meditation and spiritual counsel are important dimensions of the coaching or consulting relationship in keeping with the client's desires.
In the context of a trusted relationship, clients are inspired, taught and encouraged to do the following, usually over a three to six month period of time:
Clarify their own values and priorities
Develop a highly motivating vision for key aspects of their life
Set attainable goals to pursue their vision
Create strategies to deal with persistent obstacles that distract or bog them down
Increase and focus their energy
Find adequate support and accountability to persevere in pursuing their vision
Develop greater skills and experience in Spirit-led living and leading
We begin with an discovery and design session to help clients assess their level of satisfaction in major areas of their life: career, spouse/significant other, family, spirituality, finances, health, friends, fun/recreation, and personal growth. From there, clients choose to focus on their highest priorities, and the work of pursuing their vision for their life.
Now it is the time for us to all say: I deserve to be happy; I deserve to live with and around love; I deserve to be healthy; I deserve to have freedom; I deserve to be continuously inspired; and I deserve peace of mind. It's never too late to start creating this life you deserve. If you haven't already started, I hope you start creating it today by living the spiritual life.
You are a spiritual being living in a human experience as part of this physical dimension, it is time to live who you are.
Your transformational coach
Lionel Sanabria

Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan and Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda (daughter of Shweta and Nikhil Nanda) celebrated their high-school graduation over the weekend in London. Posts on multiple social networking sites show how they spent their last day at college.
Reportedly very good friends, both Nanda and Khan Jr. studied together at the prestigious Seven Oaks School in London.
Khan took to Twitter to congratulate his son on his big day.
Today the only negative is that my kids have grown up…now to wait till they start believing in fairy tales again… pic.twitter.com/XKJCWV4bd0

The Jolly Corner - A Review
The season of frights and macabre has begun. This is an unusual story about a haunted house. The ghost is not that of a traditional one and the reason for its activity is a bit unorthodox as well. The story was written by Henry James and published in 1908.

Conor McGregor is an Irish professional in mixed martial arts who is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is the reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, and former UFC Featherweight Champion.
In 2008, McGregor started his mixed martial arts (MMA) career and in 2012, he won the Cage Warriors Featherweight and Lightweight Championships, holding both titles before signing with UFC. In 2015, McGregor defeated José Aldo for the UFC Featherweight Championship with a knockout thirteen seconds into the first round which was the fastest victory in UFC title fight history.
He is known for being the biggest pay-per-view draw in MMA history. In 2016, he was the first MMA fighter to crack into the Forbes top 100 highest paid athletes list.
Despite his huge MMA success, McGregor maintained an interest in boxing competitively again, and entertained the idea of a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. After months of campaigning and negotiating, it was officially announced in June 2017 that McGregor would compete in his first professional boxing match against the undefeated American. The fight date was set for 26 August 2017 in Las Vegas.
'An Evening With Conor McGregor' including a live interview, will take place at the SEC Armadillo in September 2017.

While much of the U.S. was cooler Thursday ahead of another heat wave, temperatures were still around triple digits in Oklahoma and Texas — where ways to beat the heat included dumping 2,400 pounds of ice into a pool with hundreds of people.

"The stage is being set for a massive heat wave to develop into next week as a large area of high pressure is anticipated to circulate hot and humid air over much of the central and eastern U.S.," the National Weather Service warned. "Maximum heat index values of at least 100°F are likely across much of this area by the middle of next week, with heat index values in excess of 110°F possible over portions of these areas."
"The big story for the coming weekend will be the building heat," added Jim Keeney, a National Weather Service meteorologist. "It looks like it's going to be a long-term heat wave."
In the thick of the heat wave is Oklahoma where Gov. Mary Fallin asked Oklahomans to pray for rain this Sunday.
"The power of prayer is a wonderful thing, and I would ask every Oklahoman to look to a greater power this weekend and ask for rain," Fallin said in a news release on Thursday.
Fallin on Thursday also issued a ban on outdoor burning for the western half of the state because of the extreme drought conditions.
"The number of wildfires we have had over the last few months is extremely tough on our state firefighters," Fallin said.
Earlier this year Texas Gov. Rick Perry asked Texans to pray for rain because of the drought there.
As of July 12, about 72 percent of Texas and 43 percent of Oklahoma are experiencing the worst possible drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
On Thursday, 10 states were under heat advisories or watches, down from earlier in the week when 24 states were on the list.

"The worst states are Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana," said Victor Murphy, a weather service meteorologist, who said Texas is seeing the warmest summer on record so far.
An amusement park outside Dallas decided it would cool off folks by dumping 2,400 pounds of ice into its wavepool on Wednesday.
"We normally do this once a year when the temps have been in the 100s for more than a week," said David Alvey, a spokesman for Hawaiian Falls/The Colony.
Alvey didn't catch the temperature when the ice was dumped at 2 p.m., but added: "My thermometer said, 'Hotter than blazes.'"
"Just being around the ice dropped the temp by at least 10 degrees," he said. "The kids I talked to in the water after the dump said they felt a cool breeze as soon as the wheelbarrows dumped the first load."
Both Texas and Oklahoma are expected to continue with temperatures up to 105 degrees through the weekend.
That heat will spread into the Midwest by the weekend and persist into early next week, weather.com reported.
That means it could feel like 105 degrees or above over a large swath of the nation this weekend, from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Texas and Louisiana.PhotoBlog: View, discuss weather photos
In anticipation of that spreading heat wave, the National Weather Service on Thursday issued new heat advisories for areas just north of Texas:
- Tulsa, Okla.: a heat warning was issued for Thursday and a heat watch runs through Wednesday night;
- Kansas City, Mo.: heat watch runs from Friday morning through Monday night;
- Topeka, Kan.: heat watch runs from Friday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon;
- Omaha, Neb.: heat watch runs from Friday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon.

|Summer Showers
The Fragrance of the Earth.
There is something peculiarly pungent and delicious in the smell of the earth when the first dash of the summer shower falls on it; that penetrating fragrance which seems to issue out of the places where the flowers and the grasses are rooted, and to bring with it infinite suggestiveness of freshness and vitality. This smell of the earth comes so suddenly, especially after dry weather, that it fairly smites the sense, and gives one the same sudden joy which a deep breath of fresh air brings when one has been released from a crowded and overheated room. It is an odor compounded of many things; of leaves, grasses, the roots of trees; but, above everything else, it is the odor of the soil, the sudden escape from the earth of a fragrance which seems to lie just below its surface, slowly accumulating, waiting for the touch of the rain to release it.
The earth responds only to influences from the sky: it is dead, inert and unexpressive until it is assailed by something which either searches it, like heat, or evokes its hidden life, like rain. The leaves wait for the call of the sun, the flowers hold back until the warm air dissolves their reluctance, and the earth is hard and lifeless until the rain falls upon it; but, between shine and shower, all the secret potencies of life are stirred into action, and the earth becomes beautiful, not only to the eye, but to the sense of smell; which, in its sensitiveness to associations, psychologists tell us, is one of the most subtle of the senses. One hears the birds at nightfall in these late spring twilights, and takes them almost as a matter of co'irse; as if the mellow tones of the brown thrush and the sweet little song of the song-sparrow were part of the general order of things, and to be accepted as we accept a host of beautiful and helpful influences, without conscious gratitude; simply because they are so familiar to us.
But the smell of the earth, smitten out of the very dust by the dash of the rain, arrests us at once with a sense of something mysteriously sweet and refreshing. It is as if we had suddenly overheard the breathing of the earth; as if we had caught the sigh of nature, expressive of infinite relief after a long period of thirst. It Is one of the mysteries of our life, In which the roots of poetry are sunk deeply, that our associations with the world about us are so manifold, so rich and so uncommunicable. There is a race memory which antedates and in a certain sense enfolds our individual memories; and that race memory preserves, below our consciousness, the impress of multitudinous contacts between nature and the men and women who went before us in the long procession of race-life. There is no one of us who has not, in ancestral experience, stood in almost every active and passive relation to nature. At some period In our long racial life we have beensailors hunters, trappers, explorers, tillers of the soil, dwellers in woods. We have pitched our tents in the deserts, and built our huts in the unbroken forests; we have heard the roar of the sea in all manner of frail and fantastic craft; we have exhausted the whole gamut of the experiences which may happen in the intercourse of man with nature. These things have gone out of our conscious recollection, but they have left their deposit in us; and we are largely what we are because of this long-sustained and marvellous companionship with the world of God's making. Nature has taught us more science, art and skill of every sort than any other teacher. She has ministered to more moods, stirred the imagination more deeply, trained the senses more keenly and worked her way into the very life of the soul more thoroughly, than any other single agency in the education of the race.
All this in its details we have forgotten, but it has left a rich deposit, a mass of hidden ties, of mysterious associations and of vague recollections; the results of the companionship of centuries of living together; and when the rain falls and the hidden life in the soil is suddenly transmuted into fragrance, and, exhaling like the perfume of a flower, assails our senses, it is not only the smell of the earth which comes to us, it is a sudden revival of some old association; some forgotten chord in our souls is smitten and set vibrating. In these mysterious ways, through the senses no less than through the imagination, the world without us is continually ministering to the world within us, refreshing, revitalizing and renewing forever the springs of life.

February 15, 2013 by David A. Brown
HEMPHILL, Texas - Toledo Bend has yet to show its full potential but a full day of competition, with conditions greatly improved over a dismal and fog-delayed day one, gave EverStart Series Texas Division anglers a pretty good glimpse of what lives on this Sabine River reservoir.
A sunny morning gave way to hazy skies, which turned cloudy by mid-afternoon. The biggest difference, though was the wind. Day one saw nearly flat conditions, but today brought a blow of 15-20 mph and with Toledo Bend's relatively narrow figure, that made for rodeo-rough rides - especially for those that ran to the lake's north end.
Nevertheless, with yesterday's high pressure dissipating, gradually warming temperatures and a little of that cloud cover arriving toward the end of the fishing day, anglers found the fish much more willing to participate in this little show-and-tell at Paradise Point Park. Pros caught 42 limits and co-anglers added 15, as compared to 22 and 2, respectively, from day one. Seven anglers broke 20 pounds on the event's second day and two anglers caught fish over 10 pounds - including a toad of 13-1 that sixth-place co-angler Casey Martin wrangled.
Day two also presented a few dramatic comebacks, not the least of which was Martin's rebound from a day-one goose egg. No one, though, was happier to sack up a big limit than local pro Stephen Johnston, who endured brutal ribbing from friends and neighbors after "embarrassing the neighborhood" (his words) with a single fish of 3-9 on day one. Johnston, who made the day-three cut in ninth place caught the tournament's heaviest sack - 24 pounds, 7 ounces. Notably, his stepson Danny Isles also broke the 20 mark and placed 13th in the pro division.
Strike King pro Denny Brauer gained two notches from his third-place performance on day one and took over the lead on the strength of his 22-pound, 10-ounce limit. Paired with a 16-14 bag on day one, the legendary angler from Del Rio, Texas tallied a two-day total of 39-8. Brauer started in the north end drains where he had caught his fish on day one, but the spot had not reloaded so he had to go looking.
"I just decided to go run the pattern and run new water and it just worked out," he said. "I had about 12-15 for the day. I had three big bites and one big fish that hit really hard but didn't take the bait. Maybe I'll catch him tomorrow."
Looking ahead to day three, the weather forecast may hinder Brauer's plan. "What I'm doing is so weather-specific. No wind and sun is better but it looks like I'm going to get more wind and clouds. I may have to totally switch patterns and do something else."
Brauer fished his signature Strike King Premier Pro Model jig with a Strike King Rage Chunk trailer. He pitched the bait into grass clumps, but not just any grass clumps.
"The placement of the cover in relation to the lake (is the key)," he said. "I'm starting to dial in a little more on what these fish are doing and how they're starting to set up. They're wanting to come up and spawn."
Grice slips to second
Day-one leader Dustin Grice saw his productivity decline from the 20 pounds, 2 ounces he weighed on day one, but he managed a solid performance with a day-two limit of 16-11 giving him a total weight of 36-13. Grice returned to the south end and fished grass beds, as he did on day one. The difference, however, was how he fished the cover.
"The wind changed and repositioned the fish," he said. "They were on the opposite side of what I was fishing the day before."
Grice fished the same swimbaits he threw on day one, but with turbulent conditions, he used a heavier leadhead to get the bait deeper. He experienced his strongest activity around 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
"There were two hot streaks in my day," Grice said.
Slower day drops Owens to third
The bite slowed down for Kelly Owens, of Crowley, La., who caught a limit of 12-6 and dropped one spot to third with 30-15. Owens returned to the north end and targeted the grassy drains he fished on day one.
"It was the same type thing, just very few bites," Owens said. "I had five keepers and I was thankful to catch them. I don't know what it was. The fish are there; I just didn't get the bites."
Owens said the afternoon hours were most productive for him. A brief flurry of activity yielded four of his bites in a short period of time.
Upshaw improves to fourth
Andrew Upshaw, of Hemphill, Texas made a big move on day two by climbing 22 spots to earn a final-round berth in the fourth-place position. After weighing just 9-7 on day one, the former College Fishing standout sacked up 21-3 for a total weight of 30-10.
"I stayed in one primary area today," Upshaw said. "I caught one 4 1/2-pounder in there yesterday but I kind of rushed through it because I only had about three hours of fishing time (after the fog delay). Today, I was able to break down the water better. I didn't lose any and it was a pretty awesome day."
Upshaw ran far north and targeted the grass-lined drains where lots of prespawners are staging. He caught his fish on a Strike Pro Big Bubba crankbait and a Strike Pro Flap Jack lipless crankbait.
Combs climbs to fifth
Huntington, Texas pro Keith Combs caught 17-9 and improved 11 spots to fifth with an even 30 pounds. Day one saw Combs start on his deep pattern where he knew he could catch numbers quickly - a high priority after the lengthy fog delay. On day two, he started shallow where he felt more confident looking for bigger bites and got the ball rolling fairly quickly with a Strike King KVD 1.5 squarebill crankbait in a shad pattern and a Redeye Shad in a crawfish pattern.
"I knocked out a limit quickly," he said. "There were three small ones and two nice ones. Then I went like two hours without a bite so I went to where I caught them yesterday with a Strike King 6XD crankbait and a Game Hog on a Carolina Rig. I caught a 4-pounder there, made two other culls and that was it. Shallow was better early for me and I think wind helped that deal."
Best of the rest
Rounding out the top-10 pro leaders at the EverStart Series Lake Amistad event:
6th: Jeromy Francis, of Magnolia, Texas, 29-13
7th: Todd Castledine, of Nacogdoches, Texas, 29-12
8th: Bill Glascock, of Kingston, OK, 28-9
9th: Stephen Johnston, of Hemphill, Texas, 28-0
10th: Jim Tutt, of Longview, Texas, 27-14
Tommy Roscoe took Big Bass honors with his 10-pound, 6-ounce largemouth.
Big sack moves Furr atop co-angler field
Good thing this wasn't a one-day shootout, otherwise Hemphill co-angler Jim Furr would've left in 54th place with 2 pounds, 3 ounces. Instead, he took his second day on the water and turned in one of the event's biggest comebacks. Furr sacked up 20-14 - the co-angler division's only catch of 20-plus - for a 23-1 total.
"We ran way up north, which is where I like to fish and it worked out great," Furr said. "My partner had 20 pounds and I had 20-14. You couldn't ask for anything more."
Furr caught all of his fish on Rat-L-Traps. With the boat in 8 feet, he cast shoreward toward grassy drains.
"We figured we'd be fishing (on day three), so we left about 12 o'clock so we really didn't catch much after that," Furr said. "With the weather the way it was, we came back early."
Elton Brock, of Denton, Texas placed second with 21-9, while Kevin Burks, of Kountze, Texas took third with 21-1. In fourth place, Kevin Gressett, of Tioga, Texas had 20-8 and David Kayda, of Huffman, Texas went to fifth with 20-8.
Best of the rest
