A group of BASE jumpers have filmed themselves hurling themselves off Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Tower and performing amazing aerial acrobatics as they plummet to the ground.
The daring acts were part of KL Tower BASE Jump 2012, a BASE jumping event held at the 335m-tall building in September.
Video posted online on December 25 by Italian brand Turbolenza, shows the men using novel methods to throw themselves off the tower, with one performing a handstand while another man grips his ankles and another doing a back flip.
Footage shot from cameras attached to the BASE jumpers' helmets films the landscape and sky merging in a sickening blur as they tumble toward the ground.
The event was organised by Australia BASE Association president Gary Cunningham and involved 91 base jumpers from 17 countries.

DCI Gene Hunt has a PET in his office, but only ever uses it to play games.
That looks like a later 8000 series to me. (also looks like the newer plastic model rather than the earlier metal ones)
2009-10-23 23:20
That was actually My Commodore..... the Production Company bought it from me on Ebay acouple of years ago...and yes it is an 8000 series although I can't remember exactly which one off hand.
2010-05-05 22:50
That's not an 8000 series. It's most likely a 4000. You can tell by the larger keypad.
2012-06-18 19:30
CBM 8000 series have keyboards similar to this. I'm positive since I've developed for 8032 just recently. (:
The front panel looks like it's missing the model tag, and it's lower than 8032. Deciding on the measurements it looks like 8096.

I write in support of many aspects of the proposed response statement for the five wildlife species (WS). In general, demographic and genetic augmentation (e.g., via captive breeding or translocation) is an 11th hour, expensive effort that is not guaranteed, and it is a shame that this is what is on the table. However, for several of these Southern Ontario WS (the Ash, the cuckoo bumblebee, the Kentucky coffee-tree and the Carolinian Massasauga), such measures seem appropriate and timely, and there is compelling evidence from other jurisdictions and for other taxa that such interventions can be successful if sustained and accompanied by habitat protection, restoration and active management. I would therefore encourage the Ministry to do more than to explore, monitor and educate, i.e. to actively acquire and manage more habitat in (Southern) Ontario suitable to protect and recover all 5 WS. I would also urge the Ministry to actively consider landscape and watershed multi-species recovery plans, specifically for the highly imperilled Carolinian ecosystem; this might profitably be done in a Systematic Conservation Planning framework.

As you may have noticed, one of my favorite clothing pieces is the blazers. I think that it's a great garment to complete any look with a subtle androgynous touch and gives the impression of a clean outfit. Very professional yet sexy.
I din't want to miss the opportunity to make another DIY white blazer transformation, as it is the garment of the moment. This time I went for a more romantic and soft look, mixing pompom's and lace.
Continue reading and see how you can make this DIY in less than 15 minutes …
- Blazer or jacket
- Lace collar (the ones sold for the front, I've used it in the back)
- Strip of pompom's
- Scissors
- Pins
- Sewing Machine (if you don't have you can do it by hand with needle and thread)
1. Fix the pom pom's to the lace collar using the pins.
2. Place this piece in the center of the back of your blazer and secure it with pins.
3. With zig-zag stitch, sew the entire piece of lace on top of the pompoms to the blazer.
4. Using the scissors, cut around the inside part of the blazer to cut out the fabric in the form of the piece so it is see through.
5. If you don't have a sewing machine, make small hand stitches to the piece of lace and pompoms on the blazer.
You can also do this DIY on the back of a shirt or a top.
This effect created between the pompoms next to the lace piece transform a simple white (boring) blazer in to a much more interesting and unexpected blazer with a very feminine back.
I hope you will try experimenting mixing applications like these pompoms with lace or ribbons …
Until the next post DIY'ers!!!

July 8, 2019
Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the newly elected Prime Minister of Greece, made many campaign promises leading to his landslide victory on Sunday – including one at AJC Global Forum 2018 in Jerusalem.
"It is my personal commitment to further strengthen the relationship [between Greece and Israel] in the future," he told more than 2,400 attendees, "should the Greek people give me the opportunity of leading my country."
On Sunday, Greek voters gave Mitsotakis that opportunity.
Here are four things Jews should know about Greece's new leader.
Support for Israel Runs in the Family
Mitsotakis's campaign promise came during his address to the first-ever AJC Global Forum in Israel, where he accepted an AJC award honoring his late father, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, the first Greek Prime Minister to establish full diplomatic ties with Israel.
It was his father who, ten days after becoming Prime Minister in 1990, fulfilled his own campaign promise to establish full diplomatic ties with Israel. At the time, Greece was the last Western European nation without such relations and of the biggest supporters of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Europe.
"As obvious as that decision seems now, that was far from the case 28 years ago, because Greek public opinion at the time was staunchly pro-Arab and staunchly anti-Israel," his son said at AJC Global Forum, where the organization honored his late father. "Konstantinos Mitsotakis went against the tide. He did what was right and what was right for the interest of his country."
After his momentous decision to embrace a full diplomatic relationship with Israel, the elder Mitsotakis made history again, becoming the first Greek prime minister to visit the Jewish state.
Mitsotakis, who passed away in 2017, was an architect of the strong ties that Greece and Israel enjoy today. Those strong ties are supported by numerous efforts in Greece, Israel, and the United States, including the Congressional Hellenic Israeli Alliance Caucus, which was launched at a meeting between leaders from AJC, the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC), and congressional leaders.
Israel is Not a Partisan Issue
During his visit to Jerusalem last year, Mitsotakis said he spent an hour with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "reaffirming the depth of our strategic relationship. And the strategic nature of the relationship between our two states… is supported by the majority of Greek people."
Unlike in other European nations, Greece's support for Israel has not become a partisan issue domestically. Just as both Mitsotakis father and son pledged to strengthen ties to Israel with support from their center-right New Democracy party, so did the outgoing prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, with support from his far-left socialist party.
Endy Zeminides, executive director of HALC, said the underlying rationale is that Greece, Israel, and Cyprus—another key ally in the Eastern Mediterranean—are reliable partners for each other in the region.
"In that part of the world there is a big difference and a huge shift in geopolitical relationships depending on whether left or right got in," Zeminides said. "In Greece, that is not going to be the case."
Greece's Fight Against Antisemitism and Extremism
On Sunday, Greece also bucked the nationalist trend sweeping across Europe by voting the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party out of the nation's parliament. The fascist party has not done well at the polls since it emerged eight years ago.
"The Greek people and Greek establishment are making an obvious stand against it," Zemenides said. "It's a reminder to everybody of the historic resistance of the Greeks to the Nazis and fascists. No one has ever entertained letting Golden Dawn into government."
Last year, Greece laid the foundation for a state-of-the-art Holocaust museum to be built in Thessaloniki. A majority of the city's population had been Jewish before German occupation in World War II – the only city of its size in the Jewish Diaspora in which Jews made up a majority of residents. More than 85% of Greece's Jews perished in the Holocaust.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis, whose late father was an active member of the resistance during the Nazi occupation of Greece, called the museum "a place where our children will be able to learn and reflect on the dangers that authoritarian regimes pose for our entire societies."
"This is particularly important today as authoritarian and populist forces are becoming more prominent throughout Europe and around the world," he added. "The rise of xenophobia, racism, nativism and antisemitism is a reality in Europe today, unfortunately. It has to be confronted head-on." Referring to his father as part of "a generation of leaders who witnessed firsthand the pain and suffering of the war," he said that upholding their legacy is this generation's responsibility. "We must speak the truth no matter what the consequences may be," he said.
Support is a Two-Way Street
Greece and Israel have forged a strong alliance in recent years, working cooperatively and defending each other's interests.
Greece, for example, took a strong stance against a move in the European Union to apply special labels to Israeli products produced in the settlements. When Egypt cut off gas to Israel, Greece struck a deal with the Jewish state to lay the EuroAsia Interconnector, the longest submerged power cable in the world, to link Israel to the European electric grid. The trilateral agreement between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus was the first step toward creating the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum.
"This was very important to Israel," HALC's Zeminides said. "It could've been isolated on the energy diplomacy front. It has helped lay the groundwork for Israel to be not only energy independent, but a strong energy exporter."
The rupture in relations between Israel and Turkey also has made the alliance with Greece important. Israel and Greece share intelligence and conduct cooperative military exercises. When forest fires broke out in Greece, Israel was one of the first countries to extend assistance with firefighting planes. And Greece is one of the top destinations for Israeli tourists, significantly boosting the Greek economy.
"More than 35 years ago, the hope that these nations could form such inextricable bonds was illusive," said AJC CEO David Harris. "Now, these anchors in the turbulent eastern Mediterranean form a strategic triangle which not only benefits the three nations, but directly benefits the United States and our considerable interests in this part of the world."
AJC and HALC have pushed for Congress to pass the Eastern Mediterranean Security and Partnership Act, which would formalize America's energy partnership with Greece, Israel, and Cyprus, three close U.S. allies that are on the frontline against Turkish anti-Western authoritarianism, Russian aggression, and terrorism spreading through the Middle East and beyond.
Harris, who meets regularly with the Greek Prime Minister and other top officials in Athens, is currently in Greece leading a delegation of American Jewish and Hellenic leaders, in partnership with HALC.
"Greece is one of the most pivotal nations in the world. With a long and rich history, and geographically significant, Greece today is playing a vitally important role in Europe and the Mediterranean region," said Harris.

text: The achievements in the women's intercollegiate athletic program at The University of Akron in the 1980's was dominated by the softball team that was under the direction of Hall of Fame coach Joey Arrietta. One of the players who were very instrumental in the success of those teams was Tina Mayreis. She arrived on campus in 1981, after a three-year career at the tradition-rich Springfield High School program, and would go onto earn four letters and be voted a first team All-American catcher twice. During her career the Lady Zips were big winners, compiling records of 30-11 in 1982, 34-7-2 in '83, 48-6 in '84 and 51-10 in '85. Mayreis, who caught UA pitching greats Dani and Renee Vance, both previously inducted into this hall of fame, batted .319 her freshman and sophomore seasons. In 1984 Mayreis was voted a team captain and she responded by erupting for a team-leading batting average of .410, which ranked her 11th in the nation. It couldn't have come at a better time as UA earned its first berth into the NCAA II Softball Tournament where it captured the Mid-Atlantic Regional and ended with the Lady Zips losing to Cal State-Northridge, 1-0, in the national championship game in Sioux Falls, SD. Mayreis' performance earned her the team's co-MVP award and first team All-America honors. Again as a team captain she would end her college career by repeating those All-America honors in '85 as she batted .366, second behind Hall of Famer Kay Piper, and had a fielding percentage of .994, with only two errors in 323 chances, as the Zips again finished national runner-up at Northridge, losing 2-1 to the Matadors, in the NCAA II. In 1987, Mayreis was inducted into the Springfield High Sports Hall of Fame.

Payment Methods: Focus on Credit Cards
Pretty much every online casino lists credit cards as a deposit method, however only a few actually work. Many online casino gamers prefer using credit cards to any other payment method as it is a tried and tested payment tool. Unfortunately in Canada, it has been difficult to use credit cards at online casinos. However, things have changed and the casinos have found ways to process credit cards without your company blocking it. The payment processor combined with depositing non-exact sums like $103.89 work at the best casinos. We have had success with this method at the casinos we list. If you are looking for info on Canadian land based casinos and credit card use, we go over it below.
Credit cards have been around for over 60 years and are definitely one of the most popular methods of making online payments in general. One of the obvious advantages of using a credit card is that it allows players to spend funds that they don't necessarily have, although the amount can never exceed the cardholder's set limits. The disadvantage of spending more than you have is the possibility of going into debt.

After 7 months of work, I finallly have this new website up. I'm sure there are
a lot of bugs left in it still. So tell me if you find one! 🙂
Again, more evidence on why Yvonne is the greatest girl ever.
I was over at Jeff's house yesterday, and somehow we all got into a discussion
of themed weddings. Eric was busy playing football so he was lucky enough
to mostly stay out of this conversation. From one of our websites, they have
this page for Star Trek weddings. Naturally, with Cory around, that'll lead
into Jeff's being Star Wars themed. But surprisingly, Jeff said he wouldn't
have a Star Wars wedding. Even if Jess said she wanted one. Nope.
Now what?! Come on. Got some Wookies. Ring bearer could be an Ewok. The
bride dressed as Princess Leia. Jeff dressed as Luke Skywalker.
For the families, so he says. Well, I guess. Didn't really think about them.
So I head over to Yvonne's house later, and I tell her about the conversation
I just had with the guys about the Star Wars wedding. And she goes and tells
me, "that sounds like fun. I'd have a Star Wars wedding."
Greatest girl ever!

3M is extending its Ultrathon Insect Repellent range with the introduction of a new 100ml pump spray
The pump spray, which contains only 35 per cent DEET, provides users with up to 12 hours of protection.
The UK consumer promotional campaign for Ultrathon Insect Repellent will continue to be spearheaded by outdoor survival expert, Ray Mears, who is a long standing fan of the product.
Richard Dear, Group Brand Manager at 3M, says: "In its first year, Ultrathon Insect Repellent has already been placed as the number three branded product in value share. With the addition of the new pump spray, the range is looking to achieve an even greater share in 2012.
"Ultrathon Insect Repellent appeals to consumers because of its Advanced Time Release Technology, which gives the user a balanced mix between concentration of DEET and long lasting protection. The technology means the DEET ingredient is slower to evaporate, so continues to provide protection after others have dissipated."
In addition to the 100ml pump spray, the Ultrathon Insect Repellent range is available in a 60ml lotion and a 125ml spray.

Painting shows Ryan Reynolds as Vancouver paper boy
Ryan Reynolds standing proudly by his new oil painting, created by Danny Galieote. Source: Instagram.com/VancityReynolds
Ryan Reynolds truly is living up to his Instagram handle, @vancityreynolds.
The Vancouver-native posted several photos of a painting which his wife, actress Blake Lively, commissioned as a gift.
The oil painting shows Reynolds delivering newspapers for the Vancouver Sun, which he said was his first job.
"The house in the painting is my childhood home. My brothers and I spent years trying to kill each other on the lawn," the post reads. "The house no longer stands but it's a living, breathing thing in my head."
The painting has several "Easter eggs" that have special meaning to him, including a front-page story of John Candy, whom he calls his idol.
Reynolds is also a long-time Boston Red Sox fan.
Some fans commented on the post speculating that Boston may have been where Lively and Reynolds met.
But a video posted by artist Danny Galieote sheds some light on that matter.
The video shows how Galieote was able to bring the young Reynolds to life and in several of those childhood photos, the actor was wearing a Red Sox cap.
Some other Easter eggs are less obvious. Like, why is there a strawberry treat in the carrier?
But in true Vancouver fashion, Reynolds was delivering newspaper in the rain which is clear from the wet pavement and raindrop by his head.
Reynolds' post garnered attention from a couple other notable Canadians.
Michael J. Fox wrote, "I was a paper boy for the Burnaby Columbian, flinging the Vancouver Sun was the big league. Quit flexing," while Sarah McLachlan posted, "She's a keeper."
Reynolds' also acknowledges the painting is the "greatest present" Blake has ever given to him.
So much so, he ended the post with this: "If there's ever a fire, I'm grabbing this first. I'll come back for Blake."
This isn't the first time the Hollywood actor has provided a glimpse into his Vancouver childhood.
In March, he posted a newspaper clipping showing him enjoying Kitsilano pool when he was a toddler.

Team Craft-Bamboo Lukoil will be focused on delivering some good results this weekend, with the aim of further closing the gap in both the drivers' and teams' championships. The TCR International Series continues its tour of Europe and has arrived in Italy at the famous Autodromo di Monza, less than a week after the Algarve round in Portugal where Jordi Gené scored a double podium. Unfortunately, his teammates Sergey Afanaysev and Pepe Oriola were not so lucky, both suffering a retirement each after receiving heavy contact from other competitors.
Thanks to Jordi Gené's success in Algarve, where he scored a total of 37 points, he will be carrying the 30kg of Success Ballast. This will prove to be extra challenging for the Spanish driver at Monza, but Gené will be fighting his way up the leader board where he is currently only one point behind third.
Pepe Oriola drove a strong race two in Algarve to capture fourth, giving him enough points to take second place in the drivers' championship, only 12 points behind the leader. Without the 30kg of ballast this round, he will be using his increased performance to his advantage but understands that Monza's high speed layout will be a testing environment.
Teammate, Sergey Afanaysev, has suffered some bad luck recently; several incidents of contact have prevented him from challenging for the podium; an issue made more frustrating by the Russian's proven on track pace. Hoping for a clean race, Afanaysev will be joining his teammates to try and close the 26 point gap separating them from the top of the teams' championship.
Free test sessions will be held on Friday, May 22nd, with practice and qualifying scheduled for Saturday, 23rd of May 15:00-15:35 (Q1+Q2). Race one coverage will begin on Sunday, 24th of May from 12:35-13:05 (Local Time), while race two will be held in the afternoon, 14:05-14:35. Both races will follow the format of 11 Laps, with live streaming from Monza, Italy, available on the series' official website www.tcr-series.com.
The pursuit of the inaugural TCR international title would not be possible without the support of LUKOIL, Gravity, Team Dynamics and Orangebus.
Pepe Oriola, #74
"I am only 12 points behind Comini, so this weekend I am really focusing on closing the gap between us. I am excited to be racing here at Monza; it is such a historical circuit and a fantastic race to have on the TCR International Series calendar."
Sergey Afanaysev, #77
"This weekend I am hoping for a clean race, I continue finding myself being caught up in contact with other drivers which has been affecting my challenge. The team has been doing a fantastic job with my car and I am confident that some good results will be possible here. It will be really great to see the TCR cars competing here and I hope my teammates and I can take the team championship lead this weekend."
Jordi Gené, #88
"I really want to build on the success I had in Algarve and score as many points as possible, as I am only one point behind third place Morbidelli. It is a high speed circuit with a few long straights so it should make overtaking a little easier but I will be pushing hard in qualifying to give myself the best shot at a good start. However, I am carrying the 30kg of success ballast this weekend so it will make my challenge extra difficult."
Richard Coleman, CEO of Craft-Bamboo Racing
"The team has done an excellent job over the last month in what has been an incredibly busy European schedule. We are now at famous Monza, but it is going to be a challenge because we know that the Hondas will be quick around this high speed circuit. I hope that we have some clean racing and the drivers can come away with some results."

Yes say I: The choice facing the owners (Jewish and Zionists and mortgaged to their eyeballs) BTW) was stark
Would they really back Moyes for the long term by handing him a transfer kitty worth as much as £100m to invest in rebuilding the squad?
Or would they decide giving all that money to him was too big a risk?
Would anyone sensible trust Moysie with that kind of $ based on this season's performance which was the mother of nightmares? BTW, I waz happy he was the Chosen One. What was or went wrong: everything http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27109742
No, say the stats and SAF's cardinal rule of footie mgt.
Ter Weel analysed managerial turnover across 18 seasons (1986-2004) of the Dutch premier division, the Eredivisie. As well as looking at what happened to teams who sacked their manager when the going got tough, he looked at those who had faced a similar slump in form but who stood by their boss to ride out the crisis.
He found that both groups faced a similar pattern of declines and improvements in form.
While Ter Weel's research focused on Dutch football, he argues that this finding is not specific to the Netherlands. Major football leagues in Europe, including England, Germany, Italy and Spain also bore out the same conclusion – teams suffering an uncharacteristic slump in form will bounce back and return to their normal long-term position in the league, regardless of whether they replace their manager or not.
And his theory seems to work if you look at what happened to other clubs in the English Premier League last season. The same week in March which spurred Sunderland to change the personnel in charge, Aston Villa were sitting at 17th in the table, struggling against relegation.
In the same way that water seeks its own level, numbers and series of numbers will move towards the average, move towards the ordinary."
David Sally, co-author of The Numbers Game
In finance, this is called reversion to the mean.
This what AlexF said on the opening night of Ferguson's book tour, on an October evening at the Lowry theatre, and what he told his audience about the management profession. "It's a terrible industry. When clubs sack a manager there is no evidence it works. But there is evidence, and it's hard evidence, that sticking with your manager does work. This is an important issue and it is something I believe in, very strongly. Sacking a manager does not help."
Well obviously MU isn't listening. Some serious money (borrowed I may add) is at stake.

His data suggested that most goals were scored from fewer than three direct passes, and he therefore recommended the widely-despised "long-ball" game.
In other words, the ugliest type of football imaginable. Hoof the ball forward, hope you get a lucky break, and poke it into the net.
"Unfortunately it kind of brought statistics and football into disrepute," says Chris Anderson, author of The Numbers Game, an analytical and historical look at the use of data in football.
Now, behind the biggest football teams in the world, lies a sophisticated system of data gathering, metrics and number-crunching. Success on the pitch – and on the balance sheet – is increasingly becoming about algorithms.
The richest 20 clubs in the world bring in combined revenues of 5.4bn euros ($7.4bn, £4.5bn), according to consultancy firm Deloitte. And increasingly, data is being seen as crucial to maximising that potential income by getting the most from football's prized investments – the players.

Before modern computers worked a foothold into science and research, number crunching was accomplished by real, human brains. These tasks were often foisted off onto women as the general opinion was that men were too easily distracted to undertake such a focused, repetitive task.

Oakland, California (EastBayDaily) — My Pet Lives On now offers a biodegradable urn in the United State that can preserve the memory of a beloved pet for the years to come. Each urn features a tree seed that grows from a pet's ashes, while the urn's patented technology ensures that the urn's PH levels and soil conditions are perfect for seed germination. Talk about a beautiful way to commemorate your pet's life, growing a beautiful tree to be loved and enjoyed by future generations.
The Pet Concierge is currently pre-selling the urns here for anyone in the United States. There is a limited amount of urns available and unlike similar products, these urns are perfectly designed to properly germinate a tree seed and help that seed develop into a healthy, flourishing pine tree. This urn can be used with ashes of any age, making for a perfect means to transform older ashes into a meaningful representation of a loved pet, while removing these ashes from the house, where they might be affecting a home's energy. These urns don't have an expiration date, so pet owners who want assurance that they can remember their pets well into the future can buy an urn now and store the urn in a secure, dry place. Once planted, the care is the same as for a regular tree.
The Pet Concierge understands how hard it is to cope with a loss of a pet, and as CEO, Lee Richter says, "Over the last decade as CEO of Montclair Veterinary Hospital, Holistic Veterinary Care and The Pet Concierge, I've noticed I receive more 'Thank You' notes, photos, and thoughtful gifts when we assist clients with end-of-life issues than at any other time…" Lee continued, "Most of the people I interviewed had their pets' ashes in a little box or container, sitting on their mantel or up on a shelf. They all shared with me that they would prefer a different ending for their pet."
The Pet Concierge is on a mission to support pet owners through their pet's entire life-cycle and realizes the intensity end of life issues bring to pet owners. With that in mind, The Pet Concierge also offers a free report for pet owners, offering the top tips for coping with a loss of a beloved pet, available on MyPetLivesOn.com
About The Pet Concierge: ThePetConcierge.com was established to provide connections to the top experts in the pet community locally and globally, that provide Eastern and Western medicine, wellness and nutrition. The purpose is also to educate pet owners about the many options they have when it comes to keeping their pets healthier and happier during all facets of their life. In 2014, The Pet Concierge launched "My Pet Lives On" to support pet owners with end of life issues when it comes to their beloved furry family member. The Pet Concierge understands that losing pets can take a heavy toll emotionally… sometimes the grief is as intense or even more intense than the loss of a relative. Because of this very reason, "My Pet Lives On" was created.

Oh my goodness, am I (are you) becoming a Mean Girl? In today's episode, you'll learn 7 ways to expose the Mean Girl, and how to express the truth about her...YOU. The Sacred S.O.L. Story behind this message involves the infamous question that changed my life, and can change yours as well.
My journey began once I became the answer, and made the decision to love myself well. Thus, becoming the great lover of my life.
Yes, it's vital that you love yourself well, but this doesn't happen overnight. However, it starts with a choice.
The choice to either believe the lie, or to believe the truth about ourselves.
I used to suffer from what I call a "DIVORCED HEART" — the disconnection between my head and heart. Ultimately leading to my believing the lie of "not enough-ness."
It's a feeling that most of us have, or have had. One that eventually we must acknowledge, and choose to believe or not believe.
This was MY moment of truth...
It came to me as a question in the middle of the night, and drastically changed my life.
God spoke from my heart and asked, "Shannon, do you love yourself?"
Imagine if someone asked you this.
Do you love yourself, my dear?
If you can't answer this question, or your current answer isn't a resounding YES, then today's the day to begin the journey of…
Spending time with you.
Knowing you.
Loving you.
No longer accepting that which you do NOT desire.
Perhaps your answer is YES. Awesome. However, you can still take your relationship to the next level.
Are you ready to do that?
Do you consider yourself to be your "Bestie". That is, your BEST Girlfriend?
Yes, being YOUR Bestie is the OPPOSITE of being a Mean Girl.
Have you become a Mean Girl to yourself?
If so, it's time to STOP being the Mean Girl.
This is being a Mean Girl:
1. When you compare.
Comparing yourself to others or what you think you "should" be.
2. When you don't dare…
Not daring to do the things that are in your heart.
3. When you're unaware.
4. When you don't care…for yourself.
5. When you tear yourself down.
6. When you "pair" yourself with someone who doesn't care. (Remember, choose your connections wisely.)
7. When you wear beliefs that no longer fit or serve you.
It's time to try on a new belief.
Do you love yourself?
Would you be willing to believe that you CAN be your BESTIE by liking, and loving YOU?
Are you willing to stop comparing?
To start daring to live the life you desire?
To start becoming aware?
To start caring?
To stop tearing yourself down?
To pair yourself only with those who care about you as much as you care about you?
To try on a new belief that you are LIKE-ABLE, LOVE-ABLE, and are NOT becoming a Mean Girl…that you are a Bestie…a Best Girlfriend to yourself and others?
Today's the day to become a BESTIE to yourself, my dear.
Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)
Write out a statement of declaration that you commit to becoming a Bestie to yourself — no longer being the Mean Girl.
Circle it. Commit to it today.
And if you'd like to take it a step further, write yourself a beautiful Love and Like Letter.
No, you are NOT becoming a Mean Girl…you're becoming a BESTIE Girl.
Thank you for being here, and allowing me to sip on life with you.
Please come over to WomenSippingOnLife.com for some free resources, including my Engagement Checklist + Evaluation Rating, Six Sacred S.O.L. DATE Secrets…and a FREE copy of my best-selling book, Date Yourself Well. You can also check out my Dr. Shannon Facebook Page for more daily S.O.L. TRAINING.
I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Please invite your best girlfriends to come and join our S.O.L. PARTY.
xo Dr. Shannon. Inspiring minds that want to grow and hearts that want to know, so you can love you, your life, and your life's work well. ONE SIP AT A TIME.

Because Asian style contemporary beds give off an Asian, Zen kind feel of their own, this calming result can get lost in the sea of clutter that most of us have in our homes. While it could be difficult for most Westerners to achieve, you will need to get rid of all clutter from your bedroom in order to experience real Asian style.
A bed frame not just helps support the mattress and the bulk of the bed, it can likewise be a way of including a charming accent to the space. Select bed frames that choose the style you have in mind for your bedroom decor. Bed frames with intricately carved headboards, legs, and feet can add a pleasing and classy look and are ideal for a typical setting. For an extravagant look, you can select leather and wood bed frames. An all-wood bed frame is classic and can choose a variety of themes.
Anyone who has a house will definitely use the bedroom. Some residents may claim to not use the cooking area due to the fact that they don't prepare, or not spend too much time in the living space due to the fact that they choose amusing outdoors, however everyone utilizes their bed rooms, if just for sleeping and storage. Most individuals spend at least six hours in their bed rooms, which may make it the area in your house where they spend the most time. Since individuals spend many of the time in their bed rooms asleep, they should be comfortable and pleasantly designed and provided. If you have the wrong bed or the wrong lighting, spending time in the bedroom may not be a pleasant experience.
Have you wearied of the standard styled bed and you find yourself yearning for more of a distinct style that nobody else has? Then you could wish to think about having a look at the Asian style modern bed. With designs that are based in Chinese culture, these modern-day beds provide buyers a contemporary Zen type feel. Like any various other type of furniture, the Asian style modern bed can be as basic or complicated as the buyer themselves. Those who are searching for more of a minimalist design will want the basic platform bed without headboard or footboard, while those who are looking to include more of an Asian inspired style to their space have the option of choosing more of a Japanese style bed with slightly bent lines or the modern bed with a bow shape and modern-day styled legs.
It can not be denied that memory foam mattress pads are very comfortable and long lasting as a typical bed mattress can be compared. An additional essential feature of memory foam mattress pads is that they are temperature level delicate and somewhat higher at reduced temperature levels and softer at high temperature levels. The quality of memory foam mattress pads depend on their thickness.
A well made bedroom is an important part of getting enough rest and rejuvenation, which is why it is very important to select a functional bedroom set that you will be comfy with. Improperly made and furnished bedrooms will not offer their owners with the required sanctuary and haven to rest and recharge. Buying a completed bedroom set is a sensible option for property owners who want a hassle-free means to embellish their bedrooms. Bedroom sets consist of a bed frame, mattress, bedside tables and a dresser, and can often consist of various other specialty items. Every one of these fixtures will share a common design and complementary color theme. By choosing a total bedroom set, the homeowner is ensured of a harmonized design in all of the bedroom fixtures without having to quest for complementary items.
Another element that you would need to think about when picking an upholstered headboard is whether it will be attached to your bed frame or whether you desire a wall-mounted headboard. A wall-mounted headboard is usually taller as its back is supported by the wall and is wonderful for bed rooms with high ceilings.

text: ORS has been doing a separation of cardboard pilot program for the past 10 weeks. In order to help customers understand the "why" and "how", we have recruited volunteer docents to interact with customers who visit the recycle bins. You may have met one or two of them. The program is showing good results and will continue. We think a great deal of our success is owed to the dedication of the docents and their diligence to explain the process. We will continue to use docents, based on their availability, as long as we can. We encourage customers to ask questions and learn more about the overall recycling program.

Nov 09, 2016: Port of Antwerp will embrace massive investments in the next few years.
The SEA-Invest group is planning construction of a new tanker terminal in the Delwaide dock representing an investment of 250 million euros. In the same dock the group will also operate an independent container terminal that it has acquired from Independent Maritime Terminal (IMT). This facility is currently located in the Hansa dock but will be moved to the Delwaide dock where there is space for further development with an additional investment of 50 million euros. Other new activities not directly related to the waterfront will help to reutilise the space released in the Delwaide dock.
In order to afford a new future for the vacated site in the Delwaide dock as soon as possible the Port Authority organised a wide-scale, international call for proposals in the early part of the coming year. In response it received proposals both for waterfront and for non-waterfront activities. Extensive negotiations were held with the various candidates with a view to making maximum use of the land available. Finally, the Port Authority board of directors gave its approval for the Sea-Tank Terminal Antwerp and Independent Maritime Terminal.
Acting through its subsidiary Belgian New Fruit Wharf (BNFW), the SEA-Invest group has already negotiated with various deepsea container lines. The acquisition of IMT by SEA-Invest will enable its other subsidiary SEA-Tank Terminal to build a new liquid bulk facility in the Hansa dock for the latter's customer Total. However the IMT activities will be moved to the Delwaide dock where more waterfrontage is available to accommodate the future expansion. SEA-Invest therefore acquired the independent container terminal one month ago. IMT, which last year handled 250,000 TEU, will be able to further expand in the Delwaide dock. The Port Authority for its part recognises the strategic importance of an independent container handler having the opportunity to continue operating in the port of Antwerp and so being able to handle smaller freight volumes. The space vacated by IMT in the Hansa dock will be filled by a new liquid bulk facility.
In the meantime, a location has been found for the Houston-based international terminal operator Zenith Energy. Given the size of the project which this company wishes to carry out in Antwerp, and taking into account also the limited quay length available in the Delwaide dock, an alternative site has been chosen on the Right bank of the Scheldt. Zenith Energy already has a presence in Amsterdam but wished to find a second location in the strategically very important ARA (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) region, and the choice finally fell on Antwerp where the company will ultimately invest 250 million euros. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Zenith Energy is active in storage of liquids and bulk products. It concentrates on acquisition, construction and operation of terminals in Latin America, Europe and Africa. The company carries out storage and distribution of petroleum, refinery products, natural gas liquids and petrochemical products.
Antwerp Port Authority is particularly satisfied with the new uses that have been found for existing sites. "Thanks to the huge interest in the port area we have been able to select projects that offer the highest added value for the port area as a whole. The waterfront sites have been reserved for candidates that will generate large freight volumes and so make maximum use of the available maritime infrastructure. As for the non-waterfront sites we have opted for candidates that will help to further develop the chemical and petrochemical cluster," explained Eddy Bruyninckx, Port Authority CEO.
In the Hansa dock, meanwhile, the SEA-Invest subsidiary SEA-Tank Terminal will build additional tank capacity for Total on the concession that it acquired from the IMT container terminal, representing an investment of 100 million euros.

The whirlwind tour continues. We are on way to Cartagena after a minor mechanical issue. We rolled towards the runway yesterday ready to depart but one of the spark plugs wasn't firing properly as we did the run up prior to take off. Patrick had the engine running fine again in no time yesterday but we had to stay another night in Panama City because of the delay.
I'm more than a few days behind here so I'll try and recap what's happened. We made it into La Fortuna on the 1st after the weather finally broke enough to make it there.
We were pretty excited to be able to finally get there but true to form it's the journey not the destination that makes a trip. The flight in was fantastic as we had to climb over a mountain ridge and begin descending as soon as we crested it. The airport was tiny and the landing was made even more scenic with the Arenal Volcano in the background.
The volcano was half hidden behind a pretty thick curtain of clouds though so there would be no nighttime lava viewing or sweet pictures we'd hoped to capture. We decided to go "explore" the hot springs that evening instead.
It's always funny to see how expectations play out with reality when you go somewhere. It's impossible to travel anywhere without having some image of what to expect upon arrival. That image you have of a place helps form the adventure as you travel to unknown places. We envisioned La Fortuna as a high adventure type place. And we all three had a pretty consistent idea of what we were expecting the hot springs to be.
We figured the hot springs would be these awesome natural pools carved into the earth complete with swim up bar and good looking women(the latter part was my envisioning at least).
We were waaaay off. When we pulled up to the hot springs we began to get a different picture. The small little hot springs we were expecting to see had a massive entrance with bright lights that rivaled a casino. Add to that about a hundred cars, a hotel staff in the front charging admission, and we were starting to scratch our heads.
After putting some of our stuff in lockers(complete with rented key), paying tourist prices for a beer, seeing zero attractive women, finding dozens of massive paved hot springs pools, and going down a really freaking fast water slide we realized with hilarity that this wasn't some off the beaten path hot springs carved out of the side of a volcano. This was a heated version of a water park in the US, ha.
The water was indeed hot, and refreshing though. We joked that there was probably some giant hot water heater somewhere in the park and that the warmth wasn't really coming from the volcano's geothermal energy(it was of course….we think:-).
When we left La Fortuna the weather was iffy over numerous parts of Costa Rica. We literally had to look at the map and pick 3 options so we could decide in the air after checking out the weather.
We ended up flying into Tamarindo on the Pacific Coast to have the best chance at good weather the following day. Once again our expectations were to be challenged. I had heard that Tamarindo was ridiculously touristy and expected an airport to rival it. What we found was an amazing little airport right on the coast that had a small town feel too it.
We flew in right over the ocean and mangrove swamps and landed on the "paved" runway as a few of the workers there and horses in a nearby pasture looked on.
Unlike some of the international airports where security was tight we had pretty much free reign over the place. I finally broke out the quad and attracted a small crowd while we did some filming.
We then found a hostel(Pura Vida), set up shop, and went out on the town. Patrick had managed to scratch his mosquito bites into a pretty bad foot infection so he stayed back at the place.
After fixing Patrick's infection with a local mix of Aloe and native plants, Alex and I decided to go out.
(That's a complete lie. Much thanks to Doc Stahl, aka my Dad, for providing us with some powerful antibiotics pre-trip in case something like this happened.)
The woman who ran the hostel was great and provided us with some info about the bar where everyone was congregating that night.(small town, so only one hot spot per night).
She told me and Alex that it had quite a few drug dealers and that there were gangs that worked in packs to rob people. It sounded a tad extreme to believe but she obviously knew more than us.
We decided to go anyway with a group of Argentinians we met.
True to the theme of this post the expectations weren't quite in line with reality. It was just a lot of surf bums, ticos, gringos, and people having fun. There were a few shady characters there but Alex and I made it just fine. Tamarindo was a pretty fun little town and a great place to spend a day. Given more time it'd be a great place to do some surfing.
The next day we took off for Panama. Costa Rica had hosted us for an amazing 6 days but it was time to bounce.
The approach into Panama City was increíble. We had the Pacific on the right and the Panama Canal on the left. Patrick will have a video up of it later today hopefully.
We decided to rent a car the next day to explore because we thought it would be better than cabbing it everywhere and thought it would provide us a little more freedom getting around.
After experiencing the cab ride on the way to get the rental car I began having some doubts. Here I was about to rent a car and navigate the mayhem that was Panama City traffic.
By noon that day I'd driven the wrong way down a one way street, killed it twice(standard transmission), pulled a U-Turn on the interstate(it was completely necessary), narrowly dodged pedestrians and cars, and probably committed a half dozen other traffic violations. I was starting to get the hang of it.
For the family's of Alex and Patrick, my insurance agent, and anyone else who's interested, I've never had an at fault accident and wasn't about to start. Despite somewhat aggressive driving I consider myself pretty safe. Your kids were in good hands and the car was returned without a scratch.
We made our way over to the Miraflores locks that afternoon and explored the Panama Canal.
The Canal itself is an amazing feat of engineering made even more incredible by the fact it was built 100 years ago. We watched as a ship made its way through the locks an on to the Pacific ocean.
We spent the rest of the evening hanging out in the city and watching the Hogs game(which I'm still getting over).
We are about to leave for Colombia and Cartagena shortly. We will be flying over one of the wildest places in the Western Hemisphere, and the spot I'm most excited about flying over, the Darien Gap(more on this to come later).
We have an idea of what to expect en route and upon arrival but are fully expecting more of the unexpected.

Dreaming of aliens
Dreaming of aliens indicate that your life will be swayed by some external factors, or you still do not understand your surroundings.
- Dreaming of aliens in front you indicate that you will have good luck, you may have unexpected gains.
- Dreaming of chatting with aliens indicate that you will meet people whom you have never been in touch with before, perhaps the first time you will feel the other is heterogeneous, it is not easy to understand him, but after a long time you will feel that your world has opened up, and more and more interesting, this is a very worthy friend.
- Dreaming of contactint with aliens indicate that you think the other half is a very interesting person, but you can not understand what he is thinking of, if you want to continue to interact with him, you will take some time to understand him, so the relationship will be kept for a long time.

To welcome in 2019, I created this black and gold New Year design, using Sugar Bubbles' SBS 18 stamping plate, and Masura's "Rough Diamond" black and silver/grey magnetic polish.
Step 1
As always, I started by applying a thick coat of my F.U.N Lacquer "Triple 5" base coat and allowed up to five minutes for it to dry.
I then applied a coat of my black creme polish to all of my nails. Once the base colour was dry, I painted over it using two coats of Masura's "Rough Diamond". I held the Masura magnet horizontally over the wet polish, immediately after applying the second coat to create this beautiful, shimmery black and silver effect. When using magnetic polish you need to use the magnet when the polish is still completely wet, so using it after applying the second coat of polish to all nails wouldn't be very effective.
For the best result, I went over the nail with the magnet again after I applied the top coat.
Step 2
When I was sure that the polish and top coat was dry, I applied my Cuticula liquid latex to the skin around my nails.
First, I stamped these champagne glasses shown circled below onto my middle fingernail in gold polish. To see my stamping guide for beginners, click here.
To make it appear as though the glasses were full, I used a small nail brush to carefully fill them in with a pale, sheer gold polish.
Step 3
Next, I stamped fireworks patterns on my forefinger, ring finger and pinky nails using gold stamping polish by Born Pretty.
On the thumbnail, I stamped this cute clock that is ready to strike midnight, using the same gold stamping polish.
**Note: Sorry for the poor camera angles. I broke the nails on my left hand, so I am having to take pictures of the nails on my right hand and the positioning is awful. 😦**
Step 4
To finish the look, I sealed in the design using my non-smear glossy top coat by MoYou London and then the new year nails were complete.
This is the finished look:
Initially, I had planned to have the fireworks show in different colours, but it ended up looking a little chaotic and messy, so I started over and kept it all gold. I think it turned out better since gold seems to be a colour that is most associated with New Year's Eve parties.

One of the oddities of WordPress is that just about everything is a post. Posts are posts. Pages are posts. The menu is a type of post. You can create any number of Custom Post Type (I've made CPTs for people, recipes, rental items, sponsors, clients, &c). And one that can drive you a bit batty: Media is stored as a post type. This causes two problems. The first is that you might miss that when you add media to your content, there's a dropdown box labeled Link To that may be set to Attachment Page. Normally you'd want to choose Media File because that's how you'd pop the image up in a lightbox. Honestly, over the hundreds of projects I've done since 2008, I've never had a use for a Media Attachment Page.(1)Okay, yes, you can build a custom Media Attachment page template and doll it all up to look like the rest of your site, though I've yet to see or hear of one. But hey, you do you. I'd love to see how it turns out. If you've never seen one, go ahead and click on the image at right. For the first time ever, I've purposely chosen that setting. Maybe you'll see it as useless as I do. Go ahead, I'll be right here when you get back– and you'll have to click your browser's back button to continue reading this post. While you're in there, click on the tiny image again so you can see it blow up in a Lightbox and actually read it.
Now that you've seen the Attachment Page with the giant headline that says, helpfully, Attachment Page,(2)Because that's the title I gave it in the Media Library. You can change it to say whatever you like. Since it's a post, it acts like one. Change the title, let people comment on it, &c I can move on to the real reason I bring this up: Google indexes those pages. It came up in a discussion on Facebook today – a colleague has added organization members to a site she's building and found that a search turns up not only that person's bio but also their photo as an attachment page. There are two ways to fix this.
Yoast It
The simpler way, if you're already using Yoast SEO plugin (and you should, it's excellent), is to flip a switch that redirects to URLs heading to those attachments so they go to the page where you've embedded the media. So, for instance, if a search somehow turns up the image above, clicking on that result will bring you to this post rather than that kind of generic, mostly useless attachment page. Slick.
If you're not seeing those settings, chances are you haven't turned on Yoast's Advanced Settings page.
Code It
If you're not using Yoast, you're trying to keep your plugins to a minimum, or you simply prefer the coder way of doing this, there's a simple snippet of code you can use. Create a PHP file in your child theme folder, call it
image.php, pop in this little bit of code, and save the file:
…but you're better off using Yoast because it's a handy plugin and and an easy way to follow good SEO practices.
Two Caveats
Bonus tip!
While you're checking things out in Yoast, you might as well head over to XML Sitemaps -> Post Types tab and make sure that you have Media (attachment) set to Not in sitemap. If you're running Beaver Builder or something similar you'll also want to exclude that post type from the sitemap as well. Then go to XML Sitemaps -> Taxonomies and do the same for things like Format (post_format) and, in the case of Beaver Builder, Categories (fl-builder-template-category). If you've built a fairly complex site there will likely be other content that you don't necessarily want or need to have showing up in your search results.

Introduction: Holiday Cheese Ball With Sun-dried Tomatoes
Holidays are often more chaotic than relaxing, but regardless of elevated stress levels, there is always good food to be had. Do you sometimes have unexpected guests drop by because "it's the holidays" and find yourself unprepared, munchies-wise? Are you cookied-out? Make a holiday cheese ball! Cheese balls are impressive-looking and usually spawn the flattering question, "did you really make that?" They are also incredibly easy to make, and keep well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and in the freezer for 2 months! As long as you have crackers on hand and a festive plate, you are ready to entertain at a moment's notice. This recipe has many shortcuts: buy pecans that are already chopped, cheese that is already shredded, and a package of ranch dressing mix in place of chopping up garlic and onion.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Prepare
Gather the ingredients and utensils! You will need a cutting board, knife, medium-sized bowl, spoon, and measuring cup. Here are the ingredients:
1 12-oz container cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (about 9)
1/2 of a 1-oz package ranch dressing mix
2/3 cup chopped pecans
Step 2: Mash Cream Cheese
Empty the container of cream cheese into the bowl. Mash with the back of a spoon to soften.
Step 3: Chop Sun-dried Tomatoes
Measure out 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (from produce section OR jar), or count out about 9. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
Step 4: Mix in Tomatoes, Ranch, and Cheese
Add the tomatoes, the 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the ranch dressing packet (save the other half for another cheese ball!). Mix together well.
Step 5: Pour Pecans Onto the Cutting Board
Well, the title basically says it all! Measure out the chopped pecans and pour onto the same cutting board you were using. Spread out.
Step 6: Get Your Hands Dirty!
Well, not dirty, but a bit cheesy. This is the fun part! Scoop out the cheese mixture and form into a ball with your hands.
Step 7: Drop and Roll
Roll the cheese ball in the pecans, making sure to coat the entire ball.
Step 8: Ta-da! Holiday Cheese Ball!
At this time, you can dig into the cheese ball with crackers, or cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. It will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks, or in the freezer for 2 months. Wow your guests with a homemade creation that involved no cooking or baking and very little chopping. Wine and cheese ball party, anyone?
