Satin sheets which
we made love on,
experiencing all the pleasure
that our bodies can
give us.
Savage passion,
igniting a flame
melts our naked flesh.
Opened mouth kisses,
gentle touches
of each other's hands,
never to want
this to end.
Sweet rapture
does consume us,
while we go through
the motions of such love.
Never to let go,
never to stop,
we finally feel complete.
Till we are finally
in unity.
and spirit.
And upon then,
conception of life -
bringing such blessings
that will last an eternity.
Satin sheets
which covers her flesh,
soft fabric touching
that alluring nakedness -
while she sleeps.
Engulfed within,
that thin, caressing shield.

The sites also fight for the most amount of comments, retweets, and social shares. But if you are inspired to add a comment (either to the author or an existing commentator), you must have either a Twitter or Facebook account and be willing to sign-in to Mashable through that third-party channel.

How To Tackle Negative Comments While Managing Community In Social Media
Social Media Network Marketing
Hi Folks, do you work as an Online Community Manager? Well you do not have to be a community member to receive negative feedback / response or a comment. While sometime the comments ''may'' not be ''useful'', other times certain comments are necessary to be heard and addressed to. When the comments are directly towards you at a personal level you may tend to re-act a little more strongly. Before we re-act to negative comments we need to have a basic understanding towards the human mind set. You may not know this person. Read between the lines.

What's the secret to building a thriving community on Instagram? And today, I'm going to show you some of my favorite strategies for creating an engaged and growing community on Instagram using some advanced tricks of the trade.

Why You Should Stop Writing Blog Comments
Ari Herzog
Valeria Maltoni challenges you to comment less and converse more. You don't get that from commenting alone. This is seen whenever someone adds a new comment and enables you to have a nested back-and-forth conversation with as many people who choose to hit reply. When Brandon Yanofsky replied to Extreme John , he extended John's comment into a discussion.
Why the Future of Social Community is Omni-Social
Convince & Convert
The online community pendulum is swinging back. It's no longer enough to rely on social networks for community infrastructure. Smart companies are now combining owned and rented community functions into a 1+1=3 scenario I call Omni-Social. But this, of course, makes social community more expensive and less efficient as brands are forced to pay for Reliable Reach.

Five Lessons from Great Community Managers
I've been thinking about community management a lot lately. In our role as consultants for SocialFish, Maddie and I have talked to hundreds of community managers about what they do, how they do it, and the why behind it all. Our latest community management consulting package drills down into what we've learned and how to apply it. Here are five quick lessons we've picked up along the way. 1) Managing the community takes more time than you think. For example, maybe the community supports their volunteer activity. This is time-intensive work.
The Other Side Of Comments And Community

What can someone new to the Social Media world do to find and attract readers while building their own community? She answered today on her Spin Sucks Blog with a post titled, Building Your Online Community. Her answer was: "I always say social media, and building a community in general, is all about stroking other people's egos and scratching their backs. And, in this case, visiting your blog and commenting is what they can do for you." What's even more amazing is what comes out in the comment section of Gini's Blog post. online community.
How to Bring Humor to Community Management

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Community managers have a challenging job.

Wow! Wish I'd known back in January(!) when I saw the auction for the Rx, that they weren't on the up-and-up. Glad you were able to recover some of the shipment though.
You did nothing wrong whatsoever and I am going by the premise that neither did the seller.
The way Estes operated in general and packed their merchandise I am surprised that not more items fell out of pallets - that how bad it was. Some boxes burst open and less that 10% was left inside, items like all the parts to make almost 15,000x 020 glow heads
Oh, did I mention, whenI bought all their inventory,I bought 20,000x Cox .09 glow heads (50% high compression), 10,000x 09 spinners, 20,000 Killer Bee thrust washers, 2,000 Queen Bee Glow plugs, 30,000 feet of OEM fuel line, 1,000 starter springs, ,etc,and, when they went to ship, they could not find them? Turns out they had either just scrapped or could not locatethem.
And a grown man is not supposed to cry
Then there were the50 Puddle Runners that went missing in transit, together with 1/2 pallet of 40-60 size RTF airplane kits and over 3,000 warbird props. And, yeah, the receivers.
When I think of the 9,000 Surestart engines they could no longer find after I bought them ..... this is becoming way too depressing lol.
Here in BC the "Mounties" are no longer what they used to be a long time ago Very incompetent and more arrogant than ever, their contra is up to renewal and many peoples would like them gone[&o]ORIGINAL: skaliwag
Are the Mounties on the case?
Could you please confirm that these RX use a 7.2v battery instead of the usual 4.8v one?
That is correct, they run on 7.2 volts. However, if you want to use one in a glow powered airplane, it should be possible to power it from 4.8 by making up a "Y" harness and inserting the 4.8 volts through one of the servo connectors.
I hope you got your money back!
Glow Head Brotherhood #15
No, we did not get reimbursed as Estes said "your problem" and the freight company said that we would have had to note this while the trucker was still on our premines. It took me all weekend to unload and inventory the pallets, so that was not an option either.
However, no worries and I'm happy that we can now offer TX/RX sets for something like $29.95 to $39.95 depending on the configuration.
Thats terrible bernie i would have cried for days even if 10 of my glowheads got lost.
It's all good.
The last batch of items (all the electric fly stuff) we bought for pennies on the $$ and we took the good with the bad. The majority we re-sold shortly thereafter to a competitor at (modest) profit and, in the end, we are way ahead and a 1/2 pallet of lost merchandise was no big deal. Most of it was RTF foamies and parts, electric propellers and Puddle Runner stuff - a tough sell at the best of times. The RX were what hurt because we had a whole pallet of TX with no matching RX.
Looks like the neg shift type RX works with the ICON radio? Or a shift detect type. Any good sources left for ICON type RX? Like keeping that ICON around for Elevon planes.

Red-hot Irish go to 10-0
By JIMMY GOLEN
AP Sports Writer
BOSTON — Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more on Saturday night to help No. 4 Notre Dame beat Boston College 21-6 and keep its national championship hopes intact.
Taking the field one hour after top-ranked Alabama lost to No. 15 Texas A&M, the Fighting Irish (10-0) remained unbeaten and in the hunt for a spot in the BCS title game. And a week after needing triple overtime — and a lot of luck — to get past unheralded Pittsburgh, Notre Dame eased past a longtime rival that had twice before spoiled its hopes of a No. 1 finish.
Golson completed 16 of 24 passes for 200 yards, connecting with Troy Niklas for a 7-yard touchdown at the end of the first half and with John Goodman from 18 yards out early in the second. Manti Te'o grabbed his sixth interception of the season — a school record for a linebacker — to end BC's last real chance at a comeback with just under 6 minutes left.
Chase Rettig completed 27 of 34 passes for 247 yards for BC (2-8), which is off to its worst start since 1989. Alex Amidon caught six passes for 84 yards to break the school's single-season record for receiving yards.
Theo Riddick ran 18 times for 104 yard and caught six passes for 67 more for the Irish, who are 10-0 for the first time since 1993.
That was the year BC's David Gordon kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired to beat No. 1 Notre Dame and end its perfect season in the final game. In 2002, the Irish were unbeaten and No. 4 in the country when unranked Boston College won 14-7 in South Bend to again spoil Notre Dame's chances at a national championship.
But there was no upset this year in the rivalry known locally as "The Holy War," a matchup between the only two Catholic schools in the FBS that drew the first sellout crowd of the season on a frigid night in Chestnut Hill.
In fact, it wasn't even as close as Notre Dame's victory over Pitt, or the four other games the Irish have won by a touchdown or less, keeping them near the top of The Associated Press rankings with an outside chance at a spot in the BCS title game.
Notre Dame entered the day trailing Alabama, Oregon and Kansas State in the AP Top 25. The Irish would probably need either Oregon or Kansas State to fall from the unbeaten in order to squeeze into the top two in the BCS rankings.
Notre Dame scored on its first possession, going 95 yards to make it 7-0 on Golson's 2-yard run. The Irish fumbled on their second try but then mounted another long drive, going 87 yards on 16 plays and taking a 14-3 lead on Golson's pass to Niklas with 26 seconds left in the half. Golson rolled right and found Goodman in the left corner of the end zone on the first drive of the third quarter to make it 21-3.
Boston College made one last charge with a 45-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter that cut the deficit to 21-6. On Notre Dame's next possession, Riddick fumbled and, while the referees tried to untangle the pile, BC safety Spenser Rositano stood 15 yards away, waving the ball in the air.
But BC couldn't get past the Notre Dame 35 before turning the ball over on downs. The Eagles held on defense, then brought the ball to midfield before Rettig's pass was deflected by receiver Donte Elliott and right to Te'o.

Press release
Horsemeat test results: Environment Secretary Owen Paterson statement
This news article was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Statement following the Food Standards Agency's second publication of industry test results of beef products for the presence of horse DNA.
Following the Food Standards Agency's second publication of industry test results of beef products for the presence of horse DNA, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said:
"It's unacceptable for any products to be marked as beef, when they also contain horsemeat. Thankfully these results show that the vast majority of products on our shelves match what's on the label.
"Food businesses from throughout the industry, including retailers, manufacturers, caterers and other wholesalers, are putting enormous effort into getting this testing completed as quickly as possible. It's an important first step from them in rebuilding the certainty and trust that consumers deserve.
"There is more work to be done to find out exactly how this happened and how to make the system much stronger. I will continue to insist on concrete, coordinated action right across Europe when I meet European agriculture ministers on Monday."

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 634 reviews
Room was a little bit cold at night, but possibly that was because colder weather was just then moving in, but otherwise I was very happy. Thank you, hotel, and thank you, hotels.com!
It was a farther walk the expected to town center but hotel was nice.
Very nice hotel at reasonable price.
My friend and I had a very good time in Ireland. We did an 8 day Vagabond Tour.
This hotel was very nice. Clean, food was great, and the location was wonderful for getting to places. The room was a great size but it was stuffy and there wasn't any air conditioning or fan, so it was really hot. We left the window open at night but it was still pretty hot, I'm unsure if they have portable fans they can provide. That was really the only downside, otherwise the hotel is fantastic.

Stayed here to go to a dig in Linolnton! Great location! Only complaint they need better pillows! You can walk to several local fast food restaurants plus a couple of regular restaurants. Easy access off of interstate. It was quite and restful.
We came for a baseball tournament. The hotel seems older but it was just what we needed. We had no complaints. The staff was great.
Stay here every year foe B.A.S.S. tournament. always great.
It was alright... a place to sleep anyhow. There was really nothing in the area except fast food :( Beds were comfortable, room was clean, Breakfast was a small area with very little choice. Would stay again if I had to.
The first night was terrible! It was one thing after another. Our room was on the main floor facing main road and behind several fast food chains so we heard the speakers while we were there. The tv went crazy and the girl at the front desk gave us instructions to fix it but unable to so we were moved. The next room had a terrible bed, mattress was so old that you rolled to the middle! The pillows were terrible. The mattress pad moved and scrunched up during the night being very uncomfortable. I had to get extra towels but they were very nice about that. Our keys quit working and had to have redone. Several plugs in the room are loose and appear to be a fire hazard. The breakfast is ok but nothing fancy! The wifi did work great!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

YPSILANTI - The 32nd Symposium is enhanced with yet another feature: the Crossing Lines Design Expo. A natural addition to the event, the Expo provides an opportunity for undergraduate work to be showcased in an exhibit format.
One of the advantages of the expo format is the ability for attendees to not only see the design pieces, but to also to touch, examine and interact with many of the pieces.
Senior Anna Barge of technology studies will preview a project called the "M Wrap." The wrap, which was the focus of a collaborative project between EMU and University of Michigan students, is an affordable, non-electric warming blanket to be used with premature infants.
Junior Brett Russell will present his project described as an "intelligent control of traffic light system." The timing of a traffic light can be controlled by the amount of traffic in each direction, the hours of the day, and other desired features when this system is utilized. This engineering technology based research will present a model of a traffic system to animate the operation of the light system.
These are just two of the 32 exhibits from art, communication, media & theatre arts, engineering technology, and technology studies that will be on display at the Expo.
This showcase of student work will be open to the public from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. in Room 300 of the Student Center during the March 30 Undergraduate Symposium.
Students will be present to discuss their projects during one of four session times however all work will be showcased for the entire duration of the event. Please visit emich.edu/symposium for more information and specific session times.

Right to work
Missouri will not become a right-to-work state because we have a Democrat governor controlled by the unions. Michigan and Indiana have passed it, and now jobs and businesses are flocking to those states. We need right-to-work in Missouri.
Dirt crazy
I am hearing more about Obamacare that frightens me to death. Anybody who thinks Obama is for the common people are crazy as dirt.
County budget
If the Cape County Commissioners can't live within their budget, they shouldn't try to bust the budget I'm living in. Don't blame me for your overspending.
Puppy dump
This is for a lady who two nights ago threw a puppy out in West Lane in Jackson. We have a dog now. My daughter picked it up. It's a Chihuahua mix with rat terrier. It would have frozen to death. If I was still in law enforcement, I would have followed you and arrested you. There is no sense of treating an animal that way.
Spending suggestion
I wish politicians would take into consideration all the people they represent, not just certain groups like recreational, dog parks and other projects. Who decided $6 million worth of land from Southeast to develop? Can't businesses buy their own land any more? Our city officials are looking for ways to spend casino money. Why not pay off the water center to make water bills go down for all citizens? Then use it for park improvement and upkeep. Ameren's going to raise their rates so where does it end? The taxes and casino money should be used to help citizens to afford to live in Cape Girardeau.
Where there's smoke
Do the people who burn leaves and smoke from fireplaces and tobacco ever consider that their neighbors might not enjoy having their houses and cars smell like smoke? Is it only for their self-gratification? Thank you.
Loud and stupid
As of today the FCC is putting a ban on loud commercial ads on TV. If they could only ban the stupid ones.
Pay raise
Since the city is doing so well with casino money, how about giving the city workers a much needed and overdue pay raise?
Limbaugh for Congress
I was thinking since Emerson is leaving office, maybe someone like David Limbaugh should run for the job. He's always quite opinionated on what should be done in Washington. He should step up and do it instead of just talking about it.

I-405 off-ramp open after sewage tanker overturns
FOUNTAIN VALLEY – A freeway off-ramp in Fountain Valley that was closed Saturday after a sewage tanker overturned and spilled contents snarled traffic for several hours, according to traffic reports.
The California Highway Patrol reported the crash at 7:51 a.m. on the northbound Euclid Street off-ramp on the I-405, just north of Harbor Boulevard.
The driver of the tanker was taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries, a Metronet emergency services dispatcher said.
The off-ramp was shut down to allow hazardous-materials crews to clean up the spill shortly after the crash, the CHP said. The ramp was not reopened until 1:16 p.m.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the tanker to overturn.

Britain's motor insurance market is at its strongest since 2007 but still remains loss-making because of falling premiums, experts have claimed.
The sector, one of the most competitive in the UK, has a combined ratio of 102.6 per cent, according to the accountants EY. This means, in effect, that motor insurers are paying out 2.6p more in claims than they take in premiums.
Just one third of insurers made an underwriting profit last year and two thirds made an overall profit because of other income streams including investments. EY said profits will fall in 2013 and will be hit again by expected regulatory reforms in 2014
Catherine Barton, a partner in EY's financial services team, said: "On the face of it, the reported results for 2012 are really good ... However, as we feared, a closer look at the results reveals that the market has turned too soon."

Scotland was once so densely covered in trees that it's said that you could walk from coast to coast without ever seeing much of the sky. But the Great Caledonian Forest was accidentally wiped out by a race of friendly giants who uprooted all the trees and took them home during an unfortunate bonsai craze. This is recreated in the picture above.
This photo has now been seen quite widely across the internet and enjoyed worldwide by many who like a little bit of forced perspective now and again. It's usually posted by people who are polite enough to ask permission first. That most reprehensible of UK newspapers, The Daily Mail, on the other hand, used this picture without so much as a 'by your leave' or any hint of a sniff of the merest possibility of some kind of payment.
The giants will be around shortly to do some serious industrial origami in metal with the printing presses.

Whether you are just thinking about operating a franchise business or have been an established franchisee for years, you need to know about Ontario's franchise legislation, the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure). This legislation has been designed to help you make a more informed decision when you invest. Once you own a franchise, this law encourages fair dealing and provides you with the right to associate with, or create an association with, other franchisees so you can share information about your business experiences.
It's hard to imagine the Ontario marketplace without franchises. From donut shops to diners, thousands of businesses in the province rely on this popular method of business operation.
Many people say they start into franchising because they dream of being in business but don't have the experience to start out alone. They rely on the experience and know-how of established franchisors.
Responsible franchisors may offer sound opportunities for the careful investor and provide effective support and advice. But, as with any other business, there are risks.
Franchisors frequently provide the use of the company name, methods of business operation, accounting and bookkeeping systems, symbols and trademarks and marketing plans to franchise operators. They often sell business-related goods and services, such as inventory or operational supports, to the franchisees or require franchisees to buy them from particular suppliers.
In return, they enjoy many advantages. It's the franchisee's money that is used to organize and operate the outlet. Normally the franchisor receives payments from the franchisee and, to ensure uniformity, keeps control over how the business is run. Your ability to use your own business judgement may be restricted. By offering franchise agreements, many companies broaden their marketing and economic base at relatively low cost.
Ontario´s franchise legislation, the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000, was developed to provide more complete business information to potential buyers prior to signing franchising contracts. The law helps potential franchisees make better informed investment decisions. By encouraging informed investment decisions, the legislation supports a strong, competitive franchising sector that will help to create and preserve jobs.
The legislation protects you once you become a franchisee by providing the right to associate and share information with other franchisees. Further, the act imposes a duty of fair dealing on each party to a franchise agreement.
The act sets out certain rights and obligations for franchises. Like many other business arrangements, it is up to the parties involved to make informed business decisions. The government is not involved in the review or approval of franchisors or their disclosure documents. The parties to a franchise agreement settle disputes under this act through the courts.
The right to associate and duty of fair dealing apply to all franchise agreements, including those signed before the act came into force in 2000. The legislation provides every franchisee the right to associate with other franchisees regardless of any provisions to the contrary that may exist in the contract. This enables franchisees to make wiser business decisions.
The duty of fair dealing requires all parties to a franchise agreement to act in good faith and in accordance with reasonable commercial standards.
It provides the right of legal action for damages where these provisions are breached.
Under the new legislation the franchisor required to provide a disclosure document at least 14 days before you sign an agreement or make any payment relating to a franchise.
The disclosure document will include information about the franchisor including:
It will also include information about the franchise offer, such as:
If you´re thinking of investing in a franchise, one of the first things you should do is to find a lawyer and financial advisor or accountant independent from the franchisor. Ask them to review all materials, contracts and proposals to them before you sign an agreement or make any payment. Ask your lawyer under what circumstances your agreement could be terminated and you could lose your franchise. The franchise agreement is normally for a limited time. Ask your lawyer whether you have the right to renew.
If you are a potential franchisee, the franchisor is obliged to notify you of any material change that has occurred in relation to the information disclosed as soon as it is practical and before you sign an agreement or make any payment relating to the franchise. A "material change" is one that would reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the price of a franchise or on the decision to invest. If you have questions about this, contact your lawyer.
If a disclosure document or a statement of material change is not provided on time (or if the disclosure document doesn´t meet the act´s requirements) the franchisee may cancel the agreement without penalty or obligation up to 60 days after receiving a disclosure document.
If no disclosure document is provided, the franchisee may cancel the agreement without penalty or obligation up to two years after entering into the franchise agreement.
In a case where the contract is cancelled the franchisor has 60 days to refund the franchisee´s money.
In a case where the franchisee suffers a loss because of a misrepresentation in the disclosure document or statement of material change, or the disclosure document does not meet the act´s requirements, the franchisee has a right of action for damages.
Financial statements may provide important information about the financial health of the franchisor. Some large, established franchisors are exempt from having to provide financial statements. All of these franchisors have declared to the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services that they meet the conditions for exemption including:
The criteria that an individual franchisor must meet to be exempt from the requirement to include a financial statement in the disclosure document are set out in a regulation under the Act. The fact that a franchisor is exempt from the requirement to provide financial statements in the disclosure document does not imply that the government is in any way endorsing the franchisor or its financial status. It simply means that the franchisor has declared that it meets the conditions necessary for exemption.
Commercial credit reports, (also known as business information reports) which may include information on the franchisor's business background, banking information, and credit and payment history may be obtained from private credit reporting companies. They may be very valuable in making your investment decision. Businesses providing such information, for a fee, are listed under "Credit Reporting Agencies" online and in telephone directories. If you don't know how to find a commercial credit report, ask your accountant to look for one for you.
Franchisors who are exempt from the requirement to provide financial statements in disclosure documents must comply with all other requirements of the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000. Furthermore, if the franchisor fails to continue to meet the exemption criteria, the exemption is no longer effective and the franchisor must provide financial statements.
The list of current and former franchisees in the disclosure document will be very valuable when you are considering buying a franchise. You can learn about how a franchisor operates by talking to some existing or former franchisees before you invest. Some questions to ask include:
If you'd like to join the thousands of franchisees across Ontario, start with some homework.

Watermelon Rind Pickles
Total Time
Prep 1 hr 30 mins
Cook 35 mins
Mom made these when I was a kid and they were quite a treat. I sometimes make them for my own family and they don't last long. They are such an unusual food that they make for quite the conversation.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 lbs watermelon rind
- 2 cups vinegar (white)
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups sugar
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon whole allspice
- 1 lemon, sliced thin
- 1⁄4 cup salt
- 1 quart water
- Pare watermelon rind and remove all pink portions.
- Cut rind into 1 x 2 inch pieces about 1 inch thick or into 3/4 by 1 inch cubes.
- Weigh.
- Soak rind overnight in brine made by dissolving 1/4 cup salt in each quart of water (make enough brine to cover).
- Drain rind, wash in fresh water and drain.
- Combine remaining ingredients and boil together 5 minutes.
- Add rind a few at a time and cook until rind is clear.(simmer about 30 Min.).
- Pack rind in hot sterilized jars.
- Cover with boiling syrup and seal.
- Spices may be tied in cheesecloth bag if desired.
- Cantaloupe rind, pumpkin or winter squash rind may be cut into pieces and pickled in the same way.
Most Helpful
I doubled the recipe and made a little extra syrup and got 7 pints. I cut the watermelon rind in 1 inch pieces. The flavors in the syrup are great, with the cloves giving a wonderful extra kick! I had these when I was a girl and always wanted to make some. Thanks for the recipe, Cindy!
Why has this recipe not been edited and revised based on the date it was first posted? It is missing vital instructions such as using pure pickling salt, not table salt. The spices need to be removed after the initial boiling period so that all jars have the same flavor, ALL of the rind needs to be simmered at the same time, not "a few at a time", otherwise, as I tested, the solution keeps evaporating and reaches the jelly stage because there are no instructions on keeping a lid on the pot while simmering OR adding water to compensate for water or vinegar loss. I have been home canning for over 40 years and have always used the USDA guide which is FREE. At the minimum, EDIT your recipe on this site.
This is not the traditional recipe. Watermelon pickle should not be at all lemony and should not be at all salty (by brining). It should be far more sweet than sour. Also, there's nothing wrong with using ground Allspice in this recipe, in fact, it's preferred. Whole cloves should be used, but bolstered with a small amount of ground cloves too.

 Don't get me wrong... This recipe is very good, but if you want to experience the real-world, old-time flavor of pickled watermelon rind, leave out the lemon and use more sugar... Like 6 cups... and use 1 cup of cider vinegar and 1 cup of white vinegar.

It takes a little experience to get the exact mix but this recipe will definitely get you in the right direction.

 LEAVE OUT THE LEMON! ADD SUGAR!!
