9 common mistakes women make in bed

Well guess what, ladies It’s YOUR turn. You didn’t think you were
getting off free and clear did you? Sure, Madamenoire.com is geared
towards women but that doesn’t mean we can’t check ourselves every once
in a while – especially when it comes to sex. While I’m sure a lot of my
sistas are holding in down in the bedroom, there could be a few things
we probably need to address. Men often say that it is hard (no pun

selves on the back. We have work to do! Let’s explore these common
female frisky faux pas.
9 Mistakes Men Make In Bed
Guys, if you’ve managed to have sex with her once, but you now find that
she’s MIA after your encounter, chances are you did or said something
wrong in the sack and she’s not eager for a repeat. If you get your cues
from adult videos or your boys, you might’ve been led astray…and here
are 9 things that you might be doing that SOME women hate in bed.
1. No 4-play
4-play begins in your mind, and carries over to her body – her ENTIRE
body. It could start with a passionate kiss and if you’re the type of
guy who never kisses before, during or after sex, then she may just
assume you’re all about yours and she’ll feel neglected. Sex isn’t just
about genitalia; it’s about setting the mood, engaging her mind, senses
and paying attention to her completely. If you’re just focused on the
area between her legs and maybeher breasts, then there’s a 50/50 chance
she MIGHT give you another chance; but if you don’t step your 4-play
game up, she won’t be calling you back any time soon.
2. Robot Sex
If you move in bed like you’re counting or are hammering at her in a mechanical way, expect to expect to receive a less than excited response. Women (and men) hate boring, predictable, methodical sex that lacks passion, rhythm and excitement. Whether it’s too fast, too slow, if you go on too long or keep stopping, robot sex can leave a woman feeling disconnected – especially if she’s the type who can’t pick up where she left off or needs to build up slowly in order to climax. If you’re a jack rabbit, she won’t want more of that. She’ll just use her toy Rabbit until someone better comes along.
3. Poor Grooming
Nothing is more of a turnoff than a man who has poor hygiene, especially when it comes to sex. Now, it’ll probably be hard to get her to sleep with you at all if you smell funny, but if by some chance she does give you a chance and you’re overly hairy, have dirty fingernails and your breath stinks, don’t expect her to want to roll around with you in the sheets ever again. I’m not saying you have to totally “manscape” – because some women like a scruffy dude – but at least take a shower and trim your nails, especially if you’re going to be using your fingers. It’s only right.
4. Rough or Painful Sex
Speaking of fingers, most women prefer gentle strokes, not moves that indicate you’re digging for gold. And if your nails aren’t trimmed…OUCH!! Then there’s the guy who likes to twiddle your nipples like he’s changing the dial on a radio, or the guy who bites them too hard. Women have delicate parts that should be handled with care, and while there’s nothing wrong with a few “love bites” here and there, pay attention to her to see if she’s making pleasurable faces or if she’s grimacing in pain. Some women are into pain and if she’s one of them, then you have no worries. But if you’re not sure and it’s your first time getting busy, err on the side of being gentle until she screams to you “pull my hair!” Then you can go for it!
5. Too Quiet…or Too Loud
Most men like it when women are vocal during sex and women like to know that he’s enjoying it too. So if you’re the type of guy who is shy, timid or simply quiet, then she may wonder if she’s pleasing you. Sometimes, the sound of heavy breathing is enough for some women but for others, they like to be hear some talking. If you’re at a loss for words, you can at least say her name a few times so that she knows you’re present.
On the flip-side of that, if you never shut up during sex, you may be distracting her from savoring the moment. I’m talking about the guy who asks a million questions during sex: “How’s this?” “Do you like that?” “Am I doing it right?” Shut up! You should be able to tell if she’s enjoying sex by the way her body responds, not simply by her telling you. There’s nothing wrong with making sure you’re not hurting her or that you’re doing something right, but there comes a time when you must simply keep your mouth shut and handle your business. And don’t bark orders either – she’s just feel like she’s having sex with a drill sergeant, and that’s wack. If you find that you’re talking more and sexing less, then put a muzzle on it and let her guide you.
6. Dirty Talk
While we’re on the subject of talking during sex, not all women like to be talked to like dirty, little sluts. Sure, it may seem cool on adult videos, but if you don’t know if she’s into that or not, then don’t go there until you both are a little more comfortable with each other. Some women totally love to be talked to in a dirty manner, but other women may feel disrespected because it sounds vulgar to them. There’s nothing wrong with dirty talk, but make sure it’s something you’re sure she’ll respond to in a positive manner before you go talking crazy out your mouth.
7. Forcing 0-ral Sex
I’ll just keep this simple – don’t grab the back of her head and “help” her down to your nether regions. I’m serious – do not play yourself like that. If she’s going to do it, she’ll do it. She doesn’t need your help, any clues or smoke signals. If you appear desperate for her to do it, then she probably won’t do it at all…ever. Nudging just makes you look thirsty.
8. Climaxing Too Soon…or Not Soon Enough
I know some men can’t help this, but if you know you’re a 2-minute brother, then you might need to seek out ways to fix that before you jump into bed with a woman for the first time. For some women, it’s not a total deal breaker, especially if you’re good at performing other things that may satisfy her first before you jump the gun. But make sure you’ve honed ALL of your skills if you simply can’t help “getting there” prematurely. [Note: Yes, we know that the first go 'round might result in a "quick release" but make sure you come with the real for round two.]
At the same time, some women aren’t built for marathon sex either. Yes, we may appreciate the extra time since some women take longer than others to climax. But after about 45 minutes to an hour, make sure you haven’t started a small brush fire down there from all the extended friction. It’s all about not being a selfish lover.
9. Not Disposing the Condom
It’s not her job to get rid of the condom, it’s yours. It’s just icky if you don’t dispose of it right and proper way. Don’t leave it leaking on the nightstand or on the floor, that’s just gross, no matter whose house it is. Also, don’t just leave it on expecting her to take it off and throw it away. Be neat and considerate – otherwise you’re just rude and disgusting.
1. No 4-play

Should Committed Men Be Able To Find Other Women Attractive?
To Like Or Not To Like: Should Committed Men Be Able To Find Other Women Attractive?
Accept that other women are still attractive. This
theme came up a few times. You’re beautiful and he loves you, BUT there
are other women in the world he might, from time to time, find
attractive. A quote from one friend sums it up best, “space is #1, a
good wife isn’t smothering, she’s confident enough to let her man hit
the streets and follow Draya on Instagram. Let’s be clear, these men weren’t advocating for letting your husband blatantly disrespect you by actively pursuing other women on social media or beyond. Still, you should be confident and trustworthy enough to know that just because he “LIKES” a picture on Facebook/Instagram or RTs some cute woman on Twitter, doesn’t mean he’s secretly plotting to run off with that woman the second you turn your back.
Facebook Introduces Graph Search
Facebook Introduces Graph Search, and Big News From 9 Other Social Sites
Today, Facebook hosted a press event announcing Graph Search, an internal feature that will help Facebook users find out more detailed information about their friends.
Graph Search is different than more traditional web search because it is designed to answer a question, said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg during the announcement, not just links to answers. Users can search for people, photos, places, and interests to determine things such as “my college friends living in San Francisco” or “nearby friends who like Game of Thrones” for a viewing party, for example. Results are also ranked by relevance to the user, with close friends showing up as top results.
The search function will allow users to more easily dig through all
the friends, data, and content that has been shared with them via
Facebook, and it will be privacy aware, only permitting searchers to see
what their friends have posted or what is made public by other users.“When Facebook first launched, the main way most people used the site was to browse around, learn about people and make new connections,” the company said in a press release about the feature. “Graph Search takes us back to our roots and allows people to use the graph to make new connections.”
During the announcement, Zuckerberg, Tom Stocky and Lars Rasmussen, who developed the feature, demonstrated how to use Graph Search for dating, recruiting, and commercial uses, with restaurants as an example. Because Graph Search can bring to light photos of users that had previously been hidden from a user’s Timeline, Facebook is also offering tools and resources to help users understand the privacy implications.
A search function was one of the rumors floating around after Facebook announced its event last week. The media predicts Facebook will work to compete with Google in helping individuals find information and answer questions.
This is the latest news to come out of the social networking site and yet one more thing to keep track of in the constantly-changing social media landscape. Here is a handy guide, keeping you up-to-date with your favorite (and soon-to-be-favorite?) social media sites.
Don't Do This 10 Things In Facebook..If You Are In A Relationship..!
If that you’re in a happy, healthy relationship, there are some Facebook rules that need following to ensure it stays that way. 10 things to never do on Facebook if you are in a relationship:1. Hide things from your spouse or significant other.
If you don’t want your partner seeing who you’re chatting with online, that’s not a good sign. Facebook should not be a secretive escape from your relationship.
2. Befriend someone of the opposite sex your partner is uncomfortable with.
If your partner is uncomfortable with you “liking” photos of your ex — or chatting with your super-flirty co-worker online — respect his/her wishes. Don’t engage in behavior that will feed insecurities or threaten your partner. If you’re not currently Facebook friends with an ex, don’t add him. Especially in a long-term commitment relationship, you should each trust and respect each other enough to let each other veto online friendships with members of the opposite sex you’re not comfortable with.
3. Keep up old photos of exes.
Even if you never go back and look at old photos, some of your friends might. Respect your new relationship and delete old online mementos of your past relationships.
4. Change your relationship status without talking to your partner.
Relationship statuses should be discussed prior to any online changes. (Don’t abuse the status, either. Wait until it’s serious enough that most of your friends already know you’re dating someone awesome.)
5. Deny the relationship.
If your Facebook page has zero evidence that you’re in a relationship — no pictures, statuses, links that hint that you’re attached — and your partner wants to be acknowledged, show him/her that you’re proud to be with him/her, and simultaneously let your flirtatious Facebook friends know that certain online behaviors are now officially off-limits, by giving an occasional nod to your significant other.
6. Add his/her friends or family as “friends” before you’ve met them.
This is just creepy.
7. Complain about your partner or make a fight public.
If you’re in a real relationship, have real conversations. Seek conflict resolution in person, not online — and especially not on a Facebook wall. Don’t use Facebook as a place to vent, be passive-aggressive, or to humiliate your partner. Ever.
8. Gush too much.
You’re in love. That’s great. But use terms of endearment and “I have the best boyfriend in the world!” statuses in moderation. Don’t alienate your loved ones — or incite major eye-rolling — by using Facebook strictly as an excuse to brag about your recent endorphin surge.
9. Post racy pics.
Don’t upload on-vacation bikini shots. Don’t share photos of your new man “just waking up.” Keep it classy. Respect your partner by not seeking attention from others with sexy poses and provocative statuses.
10. Have a shared Facebook profile.
Even if you’re married, the whole “2 become 1″ thing does not apply to Facebook. An old classmate might want to say hi without wondering which of you he’s talking to.

Why are there so many stupid sex myths in the world? The truth is, people
will believe just about anything to get laid. This usually leaves us
pathetically unprepared to have sex, thus leaving us vulnerable to
believing strange myths that sound like they were invented on the spot
by a guy desperate to lose his virginity. And with all the blood and
hormones running around in your body like tiny patients in an insane
asylum, it's no wonder so many people believe some of the dumb things
they're told. Here are our some of our favorites.

What Really Men Want to Hear from Women
I heard that men are more of the physical creatures and women are more
of the mental beasts. Is that true? I cannot speak for the men but I
agree that women are more of the mental or emotional ones. Being a
woman, I can tell you what men want to hear from women, whether is from a
girlfriend or his wife. I think we all can relate to that..- Michael Miu
1) I love you-Even the fact that you are in a
relationship or in a marriage, he knows that you love him but he wants
to hear it as well. It is reassuring to hear that for men.
2) You are tall, dark, and handsome-In other words, you are hot! Who does not want to hear that?
3) So happy that I found you-He is happy to be with you and wants to know that you are happy too.
4) Thank you- That would mean a lot in different ways. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for helping out with the chores. Thank you for making me happy, etc.
5) You are special-It better be. Yes, they want to be treated like a king. Hearing that makes him feel Wanted and needed.
6) I wonder what life would be like if we met ten years ago instead of now-Sometimes, men met women in their later years after a divorce and several grown children later. He would have the same question in mind.
We can go on and on. We probably can come up with a dozen more. I think you get the point. In general, men want to hear they are wanted and needed as well as women. I hope you enjoy reading my hub and feel free to give feedback.

Do and what not to Do on a first date.
10 tips for a first date- By Sarah Abell
The Inside Out Dating Guide: In a new monthly series, our relationships
expert, Sarah Abell looks at issues to do with dating and offers her
practical advice. In the second of the Inside Out Dating Guides she looks at
what to do and what not to do on a first date.
A first date is loaded with expectancy – will she/he like me and will I like
them? Is this person going to be the “One” or will I want to run for the
hills before the starter? Will I do or say the right thing or will I totally
embarrass myself? Will we get physical and if so, will there be any
chemistry between us? Will we have anything to talk about and if not, how
will we get through the evening?
It is definitely possible to think too much about a first date. The key is to
relax, enjoy yourself and not to analyse everything too much. Regardless of
whether you hit it off, wouldn’t it be great if you could both say that you
had a good experience? So, how can you make sure that your first date is the
best it can be (even if it turns out to be your only date together)? Here
are some suggestions on what to do and what not to do.
Things to do:
If you are doing the choosing, pick somewhere that you know your date will like. Just because you fancy the idea of eating a snake banquet, it doesn’t mean that they will.
A drink in a quiet bar, a quick supper or lunch in a little place you know are
great ideas. The advantage of keeping the first date short and simple is
that if you don’t like each other, you haven’t got to make it through a
seven-course meal together. If you do like each other, you can either extend
the date, or plan a longer one for next time. It is always better to leave
wanting more.
Try and avoid very noisy places (where you can’t hear each other), cinemas (where you can’t talk), sporting events (unless you know for a fact that they are interested), or your home (because it could be risky if you don’t know them).
If you already know the person and are pretty certain that you both like each other then by all means go for the big romantic gesture. But remember it is possible to overdo things. My husband turned up for our second date with a bottle of wine, flowers and a box of chocolate biscuits, but soon realised he only had two hands and decided to leave the biscuits in the car!
2. Make an effort
Do put your best food forward. Make an effort with your appearance - but not so much of an effort that your date wouldn’t recognise you if they bumped into you in the street the next day.
Making an effort shows that you care and that you want to make a good impression. Unwashed hair, bad hygiene and yesterday’s clothes aren’t likely to win anyone over.
And don’t overdue the alcohol – especially if you have a tendency to become boorish, rude, indiscreet, lecherous, violent or sick when intoxicated.
3. Be kind
Whether you are attracted to the person or not – be kind. It doesn’t cost you anything, and it will make a big difference to the other person’s enjoyment of the date. Being kind also means not lying or giving false hope. Don’t tell someone that you will phone and that you can’t wait to see them again, if you have no intention of following through.
4. Leave your emotional baggage at home
If you have a huge line in exes, a past addiction to therapy and you still can’t forgive your Dad for missing your sports' day when you were five, keep it to yourself on your first date. Too much emotional baggage, too soon, is never attractive. If you end up in a relationship – you’ll have plenty of opportunity to air your past sexual history, your hang-ups and all your past regrets and mistakes.
A first date, like a first interview, is the time to emphasise your best points not to draw attention to your weaknesses.
However, if your date asks you a direct question, such as, “Have you ever been married?” (or even “Are you married?”) then of course give the true answer.
5. Be yourself
Let the other person see the real you. A first date is not the time to try out being the person you’d like to be, or the person you think your date would like you to be. After all, you don’t want them falling in love with a false version of you. You want someone who likes you for all you are, with your good bits, your not so good bits, your little quirky bits and all the things in between that make you, you.
Things not to do:
6. Don’t dominate the conversation
If you do all the talking – especially about yourself – it will give the impression that you aren’t interested in your date. The other person will feel flattered and special if you take the time to listen to them, ask them questions and draw them out.
I’m not suggesting that you don’t talk about yourself. It is important that the other person has a chance to learn about you, but try and make sure that you are listening as much - or more - than you are talking.
7. Don’t forget your manners
Bad manners aren’t attractive and are likely to irritate your date. Make sure you turn up on time and if you are going to be late for any reason, let them know. Turn off your phone (or put it on silent if you are expecting an urgent call) and remember to say “thank you” if the other person is footing the bill.
You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat the waiters or waitresses and how they react if things don’t go their way in a traffic jam or a queue. So don’t just be polite to your date, be kind to other people too. It will reflect well on you.
8. Don’t pretend to be anything you’re not
In an attempt to impress, it can be tempting to exaggerate, dress up the truth or just plain lie. You may get away with that if you don’t see them again after the first date but if the relationship does last any longer, you may find yourself in a tricky situation later down the line.
So, if you are separated, don’t say you are divorced. If you hate football don’t say that you can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon, than cheering on Bristol City. And if you work part-time in a call centre – don’t say you’re something big in communications. Stick with the truth and it will be a lot easier to remember what you said on future dates.
9. Don’t make an instant judgement
Many of us make up our minds as to whether we like someone in the first few seconds or minutes of meeting. But our first impressions can be misleading. Try not to rule people out straight away. Instead, spend some time getting to know them. If you’re not sure about someone, it may take two or three dates before you can really decide.
Try not to be too quick to judge or too fussy or rigid about what you are looking for in a potential partner. I nearly ditched my gorgeous husband on the second date because he was wearing a tight polyester sports top and I’m not a great fan of man-made fibres (apparently I wasn’t meant to see it, but he got too hot under his thick jumper). If you get too restrictive about what you are looking for or if you make up your mind about someone too quickly – you will risk missing out.
10. Don’t rush things
Take time to get to know the other person before getting too emotionally or physically involved with them. Sex is a powerful bonder and if you sleep together on the first date it may blind you to any fundamental problems between you. It helps if you can establish that there’s more to the relationship than just chemistry before ripping off each other’s clothes. We all know people who have had a passionate affair with someone only to “wake up” two months later and realise that they don’t even like the person and that they have nothing in common with them.
Equally, don’t get too emotionally involved too quickly. Saying “I love you” on the first date isn’t romantic – it’s a bit creepy (unless you’ve known them a long time).
Try and avoid very noisy places (where you can’t hear each other), cinemas (where you can’t talk), sporting events (unless you know for a fact that they are interested), or your home (because it could be risky if you don’t know them).
If you already know the person and are pretty certain that you both like each other then by all means go for the big romantic gesture. But remember it is possible to overdo things. My husband turned up for our second date with a bottle of wine, flowers and a box of chocolate biscuits, but soon realised he only had two hands and decided to leave the biscuits in the car!
2. Make an effort
Do put your best food forward. Make an effort with your appearance - but not so much of an effort that your date wouldn’t recognise you if they bumped into you in the street the next day.
Making an effort shows that you care and that you want to make a good impression. Unwashed hair, bad hygiene and yesterday’s clothes aren’t likely to win anyone over.
And don’t overdue the alcohol – especially if you have a tendency to become boorish, rude, indiscreet, lecherous, violent or sick when intoxicated.
3. Be kind
Whether you are attracted to the person or not – be kind. It doesn’t cost you anything, and it will make a big difference to the other person’s enjoyment of the date. Being kind also means not lying or giving false hope. Don’t tell someone that you will phone and that you can’t wait to see them again, if you have no intention of following through.
4. Leave your emotional baggage at home
If you have a huge line in exes, a past addiction to therapy and you still can’t forgive your Dad for missing your sports' day when you were five, keep it to yourself on your first date. Too much emotional baggage, too soon, is never attractive. If you end up in a relationship – you’ll have plenty of opportunity to air your past sexual history, your hang-ups and all your past regrets and mistakes.
A first date, like a first interview, is the time to emphasise your best points not to draw attention to your weaknesses.
However, if your date asks you a direct question, such as, “Have you ever been married?” (or even “Are you married?”) then of course give the true answer.
5. Be yourself
Let the other person see the real you. A first date is not the time to try out being the person you’d like to be, or the person you think your date would like you to be. After all, you don’t want them falling in love with a false version of you. You want someone who likes you for all you are, with your good bits, your not so good bits, your little quirky bits and all the things in between that make you, you.
6. Don’t dominate the conversation
If you do all the talking – especially about yourself – it will give the impression that you aren’t interested in your date. The other person will feel flattered and special if you take the time to listen to them, ask them questions and draw them out.
I’m not suggesting that you don’t talk about yourself. It is important that the other person has a chance to learn about you, but try and make sure that you are listening as much - or more - than you are talking.
7. Don’t forget your manners
Bad manners aren’t attractive and are likely to irritate your date. Make sure you turn up on time and if you are going to be late for any reason, let them know. Turn off your phone (or put it on silent if you are expecting an urgent call) and remember to say “thank you” if the other person is footing the bill.
You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat the waiters or waitresses and how they react if things don’t go their way in a traffic jam or a queue. So don’t just be polite to your date, be kind to other people too. It will reflect well on you.

The New Speed Sensation For Youth - Renault Duster
BIG ON COMFORT & SAFETY- Renault Duster
Safety
needs can never be underestimated. But that’s no excuse for
compromising on comfort. It’s a balancing act that the Renault Duster
accepts as a challenge and delivers on skillfully. The result is an SUV
that marries the comforts of a sedan, to the rugged strength of an
off-roader. Take for example, the spacious interiors that complement the
grand vistas outside. The 8 way adjustable driver seat means that
fatigue has a much lesser chance of overtaking you on a long drive.
Tilt
steering allows you to find the most comfortable driving position.
There’s even a rear AC with independent controls for rear seat
passengers. What’s more, the new Renault Duster is also one of the
safest places to be. The high seating position offers you a better view
of the road. Both the active and passive safety features are always hard
at work, ensuring every drive is totally safe

Look great without makeup
If there ever were a time to set your makeup
aside, summer is it. Laid-back days and long holidays seem all the
better without the need for blush or mascara. Still, going bare does
require a few pointers to look good and channel that glow-y radiance.
Makeup artist and natural pro Carmindy show us how it's done here.
Good Brows Go A Long Way
“Have perfectly groomed brows,” says Carmindy. Defined arches frame your face, pulling your features into focus. “If you’ve over-plucked, use Revitabrow to help grow in the sparse areas.”
Scrub with Sugar
“Keep skin smooth by exfoliating regularly with a cleanser mixed with a pinch of plain granular white sugar. Lightly massage it on in the shower—it’s the best exfoliant around for eliminating dead skin,” says Carmindy.
Glow on Your Own
“Apply a nice facial self tanner that will even the skin tone and keep it looking radiant, even if you’re not wearing a drop of makeup,” explains Carmindy
Shed Some Light on Things
“Keep skin hydrated with a sheer moisturizer that has light-reflecting properties. This is the secret to keeping your skin moist and glowy on its own,” notes Carmindy.
Put Mascara on Hold
“To make your lashes look longer, fuller and darker without mascara, comb through a glossy coat of Vaseline,” says Carmindy. “Or give a lash-enhancer like Latisse a try!
Perk Up Your Eyes
Subtle trick that wakes up your whole face? “Keep the white of your eyes clear with redness-reducing drops, like Visine,” says Carmindy.
Prime and Perfect
“Use a facial sunscreen and primer in one, like Chantecaille SPF Primer. It leaves skin fully protected, soft and smooth with a healthy sheen,” says Carmindy.
White Ideas
“A whiter smile helps your face look young and luminous, so keep teeth bright with strips or a professional treatment at the dentist,” recommends Carmindy.

Gadgets That Won't Be Around In 2020
Video Game Consoles
Popular video game systems such as the Wii, PlayStation and Xbox
may still be in homes next decade, but they will look much different.
Rather than buy a separate console, Enderle expects that consumers will
instead buy smart televisions with a gaming system built into it, not to
mention tablets and smartphones that will continue to ramp up their
gaming options.
“It looks like analog game systems won’t make it
until the end of the decade,” Enderle says. “You are already seeing the
Wii have a tough time holding on to the market and PlayStation has been
struggling for a while.”The gaming systems that will succeed in the future will be those that manage to move away from being focused solely on video games and more on other entertainment options such as movies, evolving from a traditional game console into more of a set-top box
Recordable CDs and DVDs
Using CDs and DVDs to view and store content will soon be a thing of the past.“CDs are clearly not going to make it over the next 10 years because everything will shift over to pure digital distribution, so all those shiny discs will be gone,” Bajarin says. This will be due in part to more streaming options for music and movies and a greater reliance on digital downloads, combined with more efficient storage options for consumers, including USB drives, external hard drives and of course the cloud.
“All a CD is is a medium for distribution of content … and within 10 years, you won’t need a physical transport medium,” Bajarin says.

A couple discovered a huge python hitching a
ride in their car. The slithery squatter sneaked underneath the bonnet
of Marlene Swart and Leon Swanepoel's car while they were on holiday at
the Kruger National Park in South Africa. They were on the look-out for
lions when the five-metre python shot out of the grass and disappeared
under their car. When the snake failed to reappear Marlene and Leon were
forced to endure a three-mile journey knowing the python was somewhere
inside their vehicle before arriving at the nearest lookout point.Picture: CATERS NEWS
Deepest ‘proper’ man-made hole- The Mir diamond mine
Amazing Temple - Bali’s Tanah Lot Sea Temple
Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home of a pilgrimage temple, the Pura Tanah Lot (literally “Tanah Lot temple”), and a popular tourist and cultural icon. Located in Tabanan, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide. Tanah Lot is claimed to be the work of the 15th-century priest Nirartha.
The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples were established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. In 1980, the temple’s rock face was starting to crumble and the area around and inside the temple started to become dangerous. The Japanese government provided a loan to the Indonesian government (approximately USD $130 million) to conserve the historic temple and other significant locations around Bali. As a result, over one third of Tanah Lot’s ‘rock’ is actually cleverly disguised artificial rock.

Indian Army vs Pakistan Army
Indian Army vs Pakistan Army
Trying to find out differences between
two armies is a difficult task as one can easily talk about in numbers
but the quality of the armies is difficult to gauge and is demonstrated
only during a war. India and Pakistan have lived like adversaries ever
since they got independence in 1947 from the British rule. The very fact
that India chose the path of democracy and Pakistan chose to become an
Islamic state has led to skirmishes and full blown wars between the two
countries in 1948, 1965, 1971 and 1999. Both countries are today nuclear
with India having adopted a no first use doctrine.
With the recent assassination of dreaded
terrorist Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, and army chief of India saying
that India too is capable of such surgical strikes, tensions between the
traditional foes have escalated. It is in this sense that it becomes
prudent to make a fair assessment of the capabilities of the armies of
these two neighbors.
Before we move to count the strength of
the two armies, it is pertinent to point out that India has a well
developed defense program and has been manufacturing modern weapons
while Pakistan is totally relying on the US, North Korea and China for
its arms supplies. India on the other hand has been securing modern
armory from various sources such as Russia, US, UK, France, Germany,
Sweden, and Israel.
Indian army is the 2nd largest in the
world in terms of numbers while Pakistan has the 7th largest army in the
world at present. India has 1300000 active troops whereas Pakistan has
550000 active soldiers. In addition, India has 1200000 reserve troops
with strength of 200000 in Territorial Army. Pakistan’s army strength
goes up to more than 900000 if we include navy (25000), Air Force
(50000), Paramilitary forces (300000), and coast Guards.
Indian Air Force has around 3500
aircrafts of which 1300 are light combat aircrafts that operate from 61
air bases. This makes Indian Air Force fourth largest in the world.
Indian aircrafts are mostly Russian and French such as MIG, Mirage, and
Sukhoi with work in progress on the development of new aircrafts in HAL.
India also has ground attack aircrafts, reconnaissance aircrafts, UAV’s
and helicopters. In comparison, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has about 550
combat aircrafts operating out of 9 airbases. Its fighters are mostly US
and Chinese in origin. It also has transport aircrafts though it lacks
UAV and reconnaissance aircrafts.
It was the loss of Bangladesh in 1971
that Pakistan paid attention to its navy capabilities and gradually
increased its naval fleet that today boasts of submarines, destroyers,
frigates, patrol, and mine warfare boats. Pakistan Navy operates from a
sole naval base at Karachi. On the other hand, Indian Navy is indigenous
in nature and it has many bases at Vishakhapattanam, Mumbai, Goa, and
Andaman Islands.
It is in the context of missiles that
India is ahead of Pakistan with a full blown indigenous program whereas
Pakistan is dependent upon North Korea and China for its ballistic
missile needs.
In brief:
Indian Army vs Pakistan Army
• Both Indian and Pakistan forces match
out evenly when it comes to nuclear and missile fronts but India seems
to have superiority in terms of conventional forces.
• Pak Navy is smaller and has no aircraft
carrier while Indian navy is much superior with various ships including
aircraft carriers.

11 Smart way to make money from Facebook
1- My Own Store- Zazzle is an innovative website where you can make money selling T-shirts
and other customizable items. It allows you to create and design any
product on their site (which is free) and sell them on your Facebook
page. Think about the potential buyer base for customized T-shirts,
hats, etc, specially if you have a lot of Facebook friends. You can also
sell products created by other artists and earn a commission on those.
So, even if you don’t want to deal with designing, you have a way to
earn extra cash using Facebook with the help of this app.
2- Cafe Press-
It’s the same idea as Zazzle, but with a much bigger and well known
online store. Cafe press lets you easily sell any product from anti Obama
Shirts to pro Obama Shirts and everything in between on your Facebook
page and make money, whether it was created by you or someone else.
3- Ether- Ether is a website where you can make money answering questions asked by different people. But now, you can use their new application on Facebook to make money while giving advice to people over the phone. If you’re good at giving advice, this may be the way for you to make some extra money on Facebook. Also if you know a second language, this app makes it easy to teach others and make money. You set the rates and Ether provides a number that individuals can call. The call will then be forwarded to your personal telephone number.
4- Music Blaster- With MusicBlaster you can put a simple little music store on your Facebook page and sell music from BlastMyMusic.com. You earn 5% for each song sold. The cool think about this app is the fact that you can help your favorite band or singer sell more of their music and gain more exposure while you earn some extra money.
5- Garage Sale-
The name says it all, it’s the good old Garage Sale, but a Facebook
style Garage Sale. Simply add Garage Sale to your profile page and list
everything you want to sell. When someone buys something, Garage Sale
automatically bills the buyer’s credit card and lets you know when to
ship the item. Your money is deposited directly into your PayPal
account, or if you prefer, you can request payment by check. However,
they do charge a 5% commission on the total sales price, but that’s all.
No other fee for setup or anything like that.
6- Shop it- Shop it is a free Social Commerce Network that gives users the ability to buy, sell or trade any product or service. Simply add a free store to your Facebook account and sell anything you like.
7- FlameTunes- FT was founded in 2007 by an Iranian-American named Nima Khakpour. This app is geared more towards artists as it helps them sell their music. So, if you are an artist, FlameTunes enables you to sell your music on your Facebook. You can also use it to make money on MySpace as well.
8- Lemonade- Remember when you setup your first lemonade stand in your community?… Well, this app allows you to use the same concept, combining commerce and community and have a lemonade stand in a digital (Facebook) neighborhood. Basically, you add what you want to sell to a lemonade stand and put it on your Facebook. It’s free and easy.
9- eBay - Who knew that was coming! Yep, you guessed it, you can now have eBay on Facebook. This application allows you to add eBay auction listings to your Profile. Sell things to your Facebook friends, from crafts and jewelry to diary pages, undies and dinner dates to whatever else you’re selling on eBay! You also have the option to add an auction where the proceeds go to a charity of you choice. I think it’s a very smart way to combine eBay and Facebook. The best part is that you don’t even need an eBay Account to get this app going on Facebook.
10- Lending Club- It’s almost like prosper where you land money to others and make money with the interest you make from the loan. Not to worry though, lending club has all the details covered. It’s completely safe and the whole legal and trust issues are taken care of by lending club. If you can use it safely, it can be a good way to make money with your Facebook.
11- eBay Auction- Buy, sell or trade anything. Auction your used or new stuff. With e3buy you can open a customized store, upload your logo and start selling things. Unlike eBay, there is no commission or fee to be paid. It’s completely free to use and it is also fully integrated with PayPal, so you can get paid fast.
3- Ether- Ether is a website where you can make money answering questions asked by different people.
