I was dating this 42 year old woman from work, very hot, and she invited me over to her house for a weekend. I did not know she had an 19 yr old daughter in college who was there as well. I'm 27. Her mom was out running errands, and the daughter asked me point blank... are you fucking my mother and I told her yes. She then opened her robe and asked how does this compare with my mom? I told her very favorably, we did fool around some but I didn't want to fuck her and have mom catch us. But we played around enough that she asked me to come visit her at her college. I did go see her several times that semester and I was still fucking her mom. I would love to get the two of them in the same bed, but can't see that happening any time soon. Mom does not know I'm fucking daughter, but daughter is out to prove she can out fuck her mom.

Fellatio ends at 10:02 with HIM putting HIS erect penis into HER warm moist vagina. This is the problem. God gave man a penis and a brain with enough blood flow for one at a time. --Robin Williams--
Dam that pussy
@jenn ok?
some one fuck me hard
@paula its aurora snow
Not to bad but could be better.....
You get the feeling in the final scene she's not acting and doesn't feel she's worth much. Don't get me wrong she very hot it her submissive way, but you get the feeling she got into porn because she has issues and not jus because she likes sex.

All I have to say is: O.M.G.
The entries (hundreds!!) for the "So You Wanna Be a CakeSpy?" contest were simply out of this world insane!
To narrow it down to a winner is going to be nearly impossible. Even with a crew of cake experts, who judged entries based on creativity, cuteness, OM NOM NOM factor and overall awesomeness, thus far we have only been able to narrow it down to these thirty entries.
The winners stand to win some fantastic prizes: The Grand Prize, provided in partnership with Sasquatch Books, is a trip for two to CakeSpy headquarters in Seattle and a visit to one of MY favorite bakeries for an afternoon of sweet treats. Other prizes include original signed CakeSpy artwork, CakeSpy goodies such as unicorn socks, and signed copies of CakeSpy Presents.
Want to participate? Weigh in, either in the comments section, on Flickr, or on Facebook, and let us know which is your favorite! We will take your comments, flickr and facebook "likes" on each photo into account! Help us deliberate! Here are the finalists, listed in the order that they were received:
Finalist 1: Neapolitan Blondie Bars by Molly A.
By combining three sweet flavors, Neapolitan Blondie Bars were born. A bar consisting of three layers: Strawberry Blondie, Vanilla Blondie, and Chocolate Brownie. Here you have my recipe, topped with Hundreds and Thousands (sprinkles) for a nice Ice Cream Shop feel. These treats do have to be made in steps, as they consist of three layers, but it is more than worth it. The strawberry layer provides moisture for the whole treat, and the mixture of flavors actually makes it taste like the ever popular creamy Neapolitan ice cream we all know and love. Link to the recipe here on cakefyi.com
Finalist 2: Funfetti Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes by Erin V.
Funfetti truffle chocolate cupcakes are the ultimate cupcakes! These chocolate cupcakes are stuffed with funfetti cake batter truffles, which are baked right into them. But it didn't stop there with the cake batter/funfetti-ness, oh no sir, I just HAD to top it all off with green cake batter cream cheese frosting! I didn't think it got any better than cream cheese frosting. Of course that was then followed by sprinkles. Cannot have a funfetti cupcake without sprinkles now can we? Link here.
Finalist 3: Oreo Brownies with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Swirl by Emily S.
My name is Emily and I am the writer/dessert enthusiast for EmLoves. My entry for the "So You Wanna Be A Cakespy?" contest is my Oreo Brownies with a Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Swirl. I eat A LOT of dessert, but these brownies (oh these brownies) are easily one of my favorite creations. It's THE BEST brownie you will ever have, topped and swirled with peanut butter cheesecake, and then covered with copious amounts of Oreo chunks. It really cannot get any better. Here is my blog post for the entry!
Finalist 4: Batter Belly Dough Cake by Lauren E.
Batters' Up! This mile high mini cake is sure to please any batter-licking soul. The hip hugging delight starts with a chocolate chip cookie layer, and then is topped with cookie dough filling. Bring on the brownie with a chocolate fudge variety which is blanketed under a plump layer of brownie batter filling. Lastly, a moist funfetti layer sends this cake into doughy harmony. Laced with a cake batter frosting and topped with mini baked treats, this dessert is no dream, it's an unbaked ecstasy. Dough you want to try it?
Finalist 5: S'moretroopers by Jenn F.
I love Star Wars and it especially influences my dessert making! I wanted to do a riff on a traditional smores, but in cupcake form. A chocolate cupcake filled with marshmallow fluff, topped with a decadent chocolate buttercream - topped with a Stormtrooper shaped graham cracker, which of course would be called a SMOREStrooper! Link here.
Finalist 6: Cake Fried Whoopie Pie Sundae by Jared S.
Sundays used to be for family, church, and long drives through the countryside (at a slow pace, of course). Then, something happened…the "y" got replaced with an "e", and sundaes were never the same again. They became something of indulgence and lust. Picture a creamy frozen treat mounted atop a sizzling ball of cake batter fried goodness with a luscious whoopie pie tucked inside all warm and snuggly (like your favorite childhood blanky). This bad boy, weighing in at a hefty 25 pounds, (give or take 24 pounds), will change your life in more ways than imaginable.
Finalist 7: Whack and Unwrap Chocolate Orange Bars by Becca T.
Whack! Biting into the chocolate-orange I had just smashed on the table—the kind I find at the bottom of my stocking every year— Icrave to have this flavor combo more often. Whack again! An idea smashes into my brain. Taking my favorite lemon-bar recipe, I addGhirardelli cocoa powder to the shortbread crust, top it with a layer of chopped chocolate-orange pieces, and substitute into the filling fresh-squeezed OJ, orange zest, and a spoonful of orange marmalade (for that extra orangey oomph). The result… citrusy tang mingles blissfully with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate decadence to form anunbreakable flavor combo.
Finalist 8: Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes with Chocolate Covered Mint Oreos inside by Andrea B.
Chocolate brownie cupcakes with chocolate-covered mint Oreos inside, and mint buttercream or mint
chocolate buttercream frosting. Link here.
Finalist 9: Chocolate Crunch Confetti Cake by Jency W.
I designed this Chocolate Crunch Confetti Cake for my dad's 65th birthday. Since he's a New Year's baby I created a cake that embodied novelty, exuberance and extravagance. I baked a chocolate cake and added a crunch layer from an orange crunch cake for textural pizazz. For the icing I borrowed my mom's cream cheese frosting recipe and I dyed the coconut with food dye in individual batches. The combination of flavors and colors made for dramatic presentation. Cutting through the three dark layers hiding beneath the snowy frosting and rainbow coconut was like ripping into another birthday surprise altogether!
Finalist 10: Donut Pies by Jory S.
I followed the recipe using buttercream filling. After removing the donuts from the fryer, they were dipped in a mixture of cinnamon-sugar. Lastly, they were frosted with whipped chocolate and embellished with more cinnamon-sugar and rainbow sprinkles. This book is inspiring and fantastic! Grilled cheesecake and birthday cake French toast are next!
Finalist 11: Valhalla Bars by Carrie F.
Valhalla bars, otherwise known as "heaven in your mouth"are delicate, nutty, just ever so slightly salty and sweet brown butter, pretzel shortbread, smothered in gooey, creamy, buttery caramel then topped with a thin blanket of rich dark chocolate ganache. See? SERIOUSLY heaven in your mouth!! Link here.
Entry 12: Peanut Butter/Toffee Cupcakes by David S.
Our Peanut Butter/Toffee cupcake is packed with power and passion, as all cupcakes should be! We created a delicious, moist peanut butter cake with toffee covered peanut baked inside and a light peanut butter buttercream on top with a single toffee peanut right smack in the middle! Our kitchen smelled so good and I have to admit, my wife and I licked the bowl, spoon and devoured two cupcakes each before taking pictures! I hope you like them!!!
Entry 13: Banana Caramel Coconut Cream Pie with Dark Rum by Joanna S.
I love desserts that call upon childhood memories, but have adult flavor. What is a better combination of that than animal crackers and dark rum? This Banana Caramel Coconut Cream Pie with Dark Rum makes people who don't like coconut want to eat it every day and makes everyone who has eaten it give into their baser urges (i.e. sugar and cream and sweet nom nom nom). I am a cake person, and this pie is the best competitor I've ever had for one of my cupcakes. And coming from me, that's a big deal. Link here.
Finalist 14: Frau Brownies by Linda H.
Named after its creator, a local high school German teacher, this recipe has been passed on by word of mouth across the community. Legend has it that the recipe has even appeared in a Purdue University dining court. Frau brownies consist of a triple layer of childhood flavors combined into a decadent treat. The base is a cakey brownie followed by a thick spread of marshmallow fluff which is topped by a crunchy mix of rice crispies with equal parts melted peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. Best served warm and when feeling nostalgic about being a kid again. Here's a link.
Finalist 15: Cookie Time Cookies by Alexandra
If there's anything I've learned from years of following CakeSpy, it's to look for the whimsy and sweetness in life. And what could be sweeter than Cookie Monster on a cookie, eating a cookie, while chatting on CookieTime? Made from Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough, homemade buttercream frosting, food coloring and, of course, love, these treats are perfect for techie-philes and cookie-philes alike. For instructions how to make your own "CookieTime" cookies, click here.
Finalist 16: Cold Cookie Pie by Juliann L.
A cookie-lovers delight, this ice cream cake has layers of cookie-dough ice cream, hot fudge, peanut butter truffle, crumbled oreos and, of course, chocolate chip cookies on top. Did I mention it's delicious? Link here.
Finalist 17: Drug Cake by Becca S.
The sweetest dessert I have encountered is a cake I purchased from a lady out of her home in the sketchy part of town and paid for with a bundle of cash. This made me feel like I was dealing drugs and inspired my name for it: Drug Cake (also, the feeling of chocolate comatose bliss after indulging). Drug Cake is a decadent triple-layer chocolate buttermilk cake filled with assorted rich ganaches and frosted with silky mocha buttercream. The top is piled precariously high with chocolate cake balls, Grand Marnier chocolate truffles, Guittard chocolate shavings and classic chocolate covered strawberries.
Finalist 18: Pie Tatin by Jessica T.
Tarte tatin is already amazing, with its decadent apples and caramel that can make you dream in butter. But I'm also a fan of pie, as pie is awesome, and cinnamon-sugar swirled pie crust just makes everything better. So, I put the two together and added in a whole vanilla bean. I now regret that I didn't triple the batch size. Links to recipes used here and here.
Finalist 19: Tricked Out Funfetti Cake Balls
Agent Oink is part of the CakeSpy detective agency, disguised as an oven timer inside the kitchen of Allyson Dwyer. His mission is to help make delicious and adorable desserts to report back to the CakeSpy Agency. To test his discoveries, he shares them at parties among his kitchen friends who help him to come up with new baking ideas. This week he is investigating how to make these vanilla-frosting-filled, white-chocolate-drenched, Funfetti cake balls bigger, more festive, and ultra delicious by stuffing them with fresh chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut butter cups, and chocolate caramels. What will his verdict be?!
Entry 20: Beach Dessert by Elizabeth M.
These are beach desserts, made of butterscotch pudding, crumbled graham crackers, chocolate-candy coated "sea shells," blue Jell-o, Swedish fish, and whipped cream, garnished with drink umbrellas. Prepare both the pudding and Jell-o as directed and let it cool a bit before pouring them into plastic cocktail cups. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top of the pudding, then add the "shells" and umbrella. Wait for the Jell-o to solidify, then put in the fish by sticking the end of a knife into the Jell-o and pushing them in. Lastly, add some whipped cream to the top for "whitecaps."
Entry 21: Chocolate "Salami" treats by Kati S.
See the salami-looking treats on top of the regular cookies? This is dark chocolate salami, my version of a common Portuguese treat. Instead of Maria cookies, I used animal crackers. Along with dark Hershey's cocoa, butter, eggs, sugar, and a splash of Kahlua, this treat is easy (if a tad messy) to make, requires no baking (so use fresh eggs), and is ridiculously delicious. The best part is that the odds of someone else making it in the U.S. is essentially nil, so no repeats! Unique and yummy, that's my fave.
Finalist 22: Turtle Tiramisu Cheesecake by Lori R.
I want to be a Cake Spy! Here is my dessert for your consideration. It doesn't get much sweeter than when a turtle cheesecake meets tiramisu. Sweet lady fingers firmly grounded in a chocolate graham cracker crust grasp a creamy cheesecake filling topped with melted chocolate and caramel. Link here.
Finalist 23: Coffee Hazelnut Gateau by Kim L.
For the Cake Spy Contest I decided to do a twist on the typical coffee sponge cake by creating a multi layered hazelnut coffee gâteau with a delicious creamy yet light white chocolate bavarois with spices and cocoa powder in between each layer. Then to top it all off I drizzled chocolate ganache made with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. As for garnishing, I added a magenta flower and white chocolate designs. The gâteau had rich subtle flavors and the multiple cake layers added a light airy texture but it was still smooth and creamy with the ganache topping. Link here.
Finalist 24: Strawberry Rice Krispie Cupcakes by Jeanee D.
This experiment I concocted was my husband's idea. We saw strawberry marshmallows in the grocery store and he thought it would be a good idea to make some rice krispie treats with them. I finally gave in, and at the last minute he grabbed strawberry icing to add. "What?," I thought. "Strawberries in my rice krispies and NOW icing?" I thought this man was mad!I took it up a notch and made the treats look like cupcakes. It was the most cute and delicious sugar high ever! See the tutorial here.
Finalist 25: Faux Chili by Jennifer B.
Savor the sweetness of summer with this delish dish: A trifle of cupcakes and strawberry puree decorated with candy beans, crumbled chocolate-hazlenut candies, sliced apple licorice and a dollop of fresh buttercream frosting. No Independence Day hero is complete without a sidekick. Close by its side is a mini cupcake smeared with more buttercream and topped with a butter mint.
Finalist 26: Lemon Drop bites by Shaina M.
Homemade Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cream Bites. This Ice cream recipe does not require an ice cream maker and the ice cream is frozen in lemon rinds then cut into wedges for a super cute sweet snack! Link here.
Finalist 27: Unicorn Cake Pops by Heather M.
This is my Unicorn Cake Pop. Inside she is delicious devil's food cake mixed with dark chocolate frosting. Outside she is dipped in Guittard white chocolate coating. Her ears are white chocolate chips (applied before dipping) and her mane is Guittard strawberry candy coating. She is dusted with pink pearl dust (Wilton). Her horn is made of candy clay (modeling chocolate) and dusted with silver sparkle dust (CK Products). She has candy eyeballs and her eyelashes, smile and nostrils are drawn on with Americolor Gourmet Writers.
Finalist 28: The Veruca by Mary P.
A silky pumpkin pie baked (flaky crust and all!) into a white cake and layered with additional cakey goodness and gooey pecan pie deliciousness. Frosted with a heavenly whipped cream frosting and garnished with pecan praline, this dessert medley is the answer to the ultimate Turkey Day dilemma… How to fit every personal favorite dessert perfectly on my fork.
What would you call such a concoction? The Veruca, of course! Since it is everything a spoiled little girl could possibly ask for in a dessert.
Finalist 29: Choco-Fluffernutter Ice Cream Sandwich by Amy G.
Last summer I came home from work inspired to make oatmeal peanut butter cookies. I made the cookies, and upon remembering a few sweet accompaniments in my cupboard and freezer, did not stop there. I created a choco-fluffernutter ice cream sandwich: one scoop of double dark chocolate gelato and a generous dollop of marshmallow fluff sandwiched between two fresh peanut butter cookies! Link here.
Finalist 30: Beer Crispy Treats by Nom N.
Beer Crispy Treats are decadent upon decadent - sugar on sugar. First homemade beer marshmallow fluff gets whipped up. Then it is mixed with browned butter [oh so good!] and puffed rice cereal. Once the whole gooey mess sets up in a pan, the squares are dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled [or drowned] in homemade beer caramel sauce.
With all the sweet flavors in each bite, the beer becomes a background player - adding some spice and depth, not really screaming beer. It's all about the sugars and textures playing together. Link here.

Baba Deep Singh
"Once you step onto this path, you may well give up your head rather than the cause."
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the majority of my readers aren't exactly experts on Indian history, so it's probably a safe assumption that you're not familiar with the story of the Sikh martyr Baba Deep Singh. Well, it's time to get educated -- because this dude is one of the most hardcore freedom fighters to ever live, and a guy so extreme balls-out in his insatiable quest for vengeance that something as inconsequentially-trivial as being fucking decapitated couldn't stop him from crushing his enemies to death with his nutsack.
Deep Singh (Baba is a term of reverence roughly equivalent to "Saint") was baptized a Sikh in 1700, and quickly got busy training in badass martial skills like swordfighting, hand-to-hand combat, horsemanship, resisting torture, circle-strafing, and punching people in the crotch with enough force to blow a hole in a brick wall. In case many of you out there aren't down with Sikhism, it's pretty much one of the most badass religions this side of Valhalla -- practioners are given a goddamned sword when they are baptized, and they are bound by their religion to carry this implement of pointed death with them everywhere they go. They also have to grow super-long awesome beards and badass Rollie Fingers-style handlebar moustaches. After going through a rigorous and intense initiation training so hardcore that it makes ancient Spartan initiations look like Home Economics Merit Badge Day for Girl Scout Troop 666, Baba Deep Singh retired to a nice quiet life studying the teachings of the great hallowed Gurus, hand-scribing copies of the Sikh holy scriptures, and fighting in large-scale revolutions against the oppressive and tyrannical Mughal Empire.
See, dudes like Babur and Akbar were pretty badass in their own right, but the Sikhs weren't really down with being ruled over by some godless heathen Muslims, and if there's one thing you should take from this article it's that you should generally try to avoid fucking with the Sikhs whenever you get the chance. One of Baba Deep Singh's homeboys kicked off a revolution in the Punjab region of India, and it was on like neckbone. BDS and his dudes jacked up the Mughals and chased them out of their homelands.
But whatever. This website is full of folks who threw off the yoke of oppression by lopping off their enemies' heads with hacksaws and then suplexing their decapitated corpses onto a bed of hot coals. What separates Baba Deep Singh is his mad desire for righteous vengeance, and the lengths he would go to accomplish said feat. It all got started in 1757, when the Mughal warlord Ahmad Shah Durrani started launching a bunch of raids into India. He busted in, pillaged, plundered, etc., sacked the city of Delhi, and began triumphantly processing back to Mughal-ville with a newly-acquired trove of plundered goods, stolen religious artifacts, and hot, screaming, kidnapped Indian babes. Fuck that. Baba Deep wasn't going to let that shit fly. He and his men launched a guerrilla raid on the Mughals while they were on the march, ambushing them, kicking their asses and pulling out their tracheas with their bare hands. The religious artifacts (and hot babes) were all returned to their rightful locations, and all seemed well with the world once again.
Not so fast.
The Mughals are descended from a dude named Genghis Khan. Maybe you've heard of him. Well motherfuckers with a pedigree of ultimate extreme asskickings don't take stuff like this lightly. Ahmad Shah Durrani, despoiled of all of the shit he worked so hard to steal from teeming throngs of unarmed defenseless peasants, took out his revenge the best way he knew how -- by seriously jacking up the Golden Temple of God in the city of Amritsar; the holiest and most hallowed site in the Sikh religion.
The Mughals first blew the shrine up with their cannons, then they slaughtered a bunch of cattle and filled the sacred pools of the temple with cow blood and guts. Now, most Sikhs don't hold cows sacred like the Hindus do, but you don't need to worship at the altar of a bovine god to agree that this is still pretty disgusting and obnoxious. A large force of soldiers hung around to defend the shrine and prevent the Sikhs from reclaiming the desecrated temple, and the douchebag Mughal ruler picture-messaged pictures of the carnage to Baba Deep Singh's cell phone.
Our man Baba Deep Singh was seventy-five years old at this time, but he hadn't lost a step -- the only thing his excessively old age did for him was give him a totally awesome beard. As soon as he heard that the Golden Temple had been profaned and destroyed, he pulled his old, beat-up, thirty-pound Khanda sword off the wall and started walking towards Amritsar. Along the way, he stopped in at every village he came across, recruiting a huge mob of pitchfork and torch-bearing warriors ready to go Dr. Frankenstein on those Mughal bastards who fucked up their holy monument. These dudes set out to avenge their temple Bruce Lee-style, and nothing was going to stop them.
The improvised peasant army hurled themselves at the hardened Mughal warriors, and insane bloodshed ensued with the unholy realness. The Mughals were a well-trained force of asskickers, but the Sikhs were super omega ripshit pissed off, and they were flipping out like assassins on those poor bastards, tearing them new assholes with daggers, tridents, and cordless power drills. During the fighting, however, Baba Deep Singh launched himself at the commander of the Mughal garrison and both men delivered terrible blows at one another, kind of like the intro to Ninja Gaiden on the old-school Nintendo. The Mughal's head slid off of his neck onto the floor with a disgusting squish. Baba Deep Singh didn't fare much better -- his head had been almost completely severed from his body. The only thing holding his cranium upright was his left hand.
Baba Deep Singh, however, was a Mughal-killing madman, and he didn't even give a shit. He kept fighting, holding his barely-attached head onto his torso with one hand and hacking people in half with his other. The sight of this dude, sword in one hand, bloody head in the other, must have been pretty goddamned unnerving to the dudes facing him, and the Sikhs cut a swath through the Mughals, driving them from the halls of the sacred temple. Some legends claim that Baba Deep's head actually came off at one point, and that he held the disembodied head in his left hand while he fought -- sort of like how a chicken with it's head cut off continues to run around for a while, vengeance was so ingrained into the very fabric of this guy's being that his wild post-mortem twitching involved lopping off appendages and stabbing people in the brain.
With the Mughals defeated, Baba Deep Singh died on the floor of the Golden Temple of God. The temple was re-consecrated by Sikh priests, and the spot where Singh fell is now a shrine where pilgrims come from across India to pay their respects to one of their religion's greatest martyrs.
"There is hardly a mode of torture which the Sikhs have not suffered, and not one has cried in pain or relented."

Fedora Core 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2.
The following is a mechanism to demonstrate how this tool works.
A common SELinux problem admins hit is a service being denied access to mislabeled files. For example, an admin may edit web files in his home directorys and them move (mv) them to the system's web directory to display them via Apache. SELinux does not allow Apache to display the page because the file is labeled with the security context of the users home directory and Apache is not allowed to read users homedirectory files. In order to demonstrate the setroubleshoot can simulate this by setting up the web server with an incorrect security context and trying to view the page.
# First make sure setroubleshoot and httpd are installed
> yum install setroubleshoot httpd
# Now change the security context on /var/www/html/index.html to a users home directory context
> chcon -t user_home_t /var/www/html/index.html
# Now start the two services
> service setroubleshoot start
> service httpd start
# Log in as a normal user, bring up firefox and goto http://localhost
# You should see a denial on firefox
# An icon should appear in the upper right hand corner indicating an SELinux Denial has occured
# Click on the icon for the troubleshoot to launch
# The troubleshooter will explain what has happened and explain how to fix the problem.
If you look at the /var/log/audit/audit.log you will see the complete SELinux message in all its gory details.

Llwynonn Farm, along with it's farm manager's house (Unit 8 in the current development), was built
in 1857 as the home farm for Plas Llwynonn, the neighbouring country house built by Lady Willoughby
de Broke in the same year. Both properties were then acquired by my family around the turn of the
20th century.
In 1984 I took over the farm from the Plas Newydd Estate, and was granted a long lease, later
freehold, by my late father, Henry, 7th Marquess of Anglesey.
Plas Newydd itself was built in the late 18th century by my ancestor, Henry William Paget, 2nd Earl
of Uxbridge, soon to be made 1st Marquess of Anglesey in the battle honours after Waterloo, in 1815,
at which he had been commander of the Allied Cavalry, and second-in-command to the Duke of
Wellington. At the end of the battle one of the last cannon shots fired hit his right leg, necessitating
its amputation above the knee. According to anecdote, he was close to the Duke of Wellington when
his leg was hit, and exclaimed, "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!", to which Wellington replied "By God, sir, so
you have!". His wooden leg is preserved to this day, in the house museum.
The magnificent house and gardens, where I was brought up, are now owned and maintained by the
National Trust.
As modern farming methods have changed so the need for the attractive array of comparatively
small stone buildings at Llwynonn has gone. So it gives me great pleasure that the house and buildings
are to be preserved for future generations by this tasteful residential development.
Leave the A55 Westbound at Junction 8A, Turn left onto A5 towards the village of Llanfairpwll. After 1/2 mile turn left onto A4080 Brynsiencyn Road. Travel for 1 Mile and the entrance to Llwyn Onn can be found on your Right hand side. The site is situated 0.2 miles along the entrance Track.

Student or Learner
I have been asked to underline two suitable words which can complete the sentences. Some are fairly easy, but some I've never heared of and can't find in an collocation dictionary. Will appreciate your help.
1.bucolic/country/rural/vilagge - idyll
I chose coutry idyll and rural idyll
2. cosmopolitan/global/multicultural - city
I chose cosmopolitan city and multicultural city
3. Robert the next day seemed urban/urbane/provincial/assertive, sure of himself, even, she thought, pleased with himself.
Here I have no idea what to go for. I don't even know which word should I collocate.
4. civic/municipal/urban/uptown - leaders
I chose civic leaders. Not sure there is another.
5. Slum - tenants/settlers/dwellers/denizens
I chose slum dwellers not sure abouth the other.
6. rustic/pastoral/rural/provincial - scene
I chose pastoral scene and rural scene.
Can someone please verify this for me.
Gillnetter, I think the OP was probably right about "idyll" in #1. I think they're looking for the word which would precede "idyll", choosing between bucolic, country, rural and village. I'm pretty sure the noun is correct, not another adjective.
Last edited by emsr2d2; 11-Dec-2012 at 15:45. Reason: Oops, addressed this to wrong user!
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Gillnetter, I am sorry that I have made few typing errors, nevertheless I sense you are not being very nice to me. I am not one of those who come here expecting others to do all the work for them. I have looked into few dictionaries I have at home (paper copies of collins and oxford), I have looked at online oxford dictionary, I searched online collocations dictionaries I even looked at google to see what was more common, what had more 'hits' and I haven't found what I have been looking for. They all give definitions, let's say word 'scene', still they do not say what does it collocate with. And as for the first one emsr2d2 is right it should be idyll.
Is it really that rare? Maybe it's more common in BrE than AmE then. I would say that phrases such as "this rural idyll" are heard pretty frequently on things like TV property shows. I agree that bucolic and idyllic are synonyms. Therefore, I would not say that "bucolic idyll" would be one of the accepted correct answers here.
In my opinion, "rural idyll" is the only one that really works but I can just about imagine someone referring to a tiny village out in the countryside as a "country idyll" or "village idyll".
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
It's completely foreign to me. I'm not even sure what it means.
(Not a Teacher)
If there are sentences that these collocations are supposed to complete, it would be helpful if you posted them. Otherwise, most of these words could collocate with several of their provided adjectives, given the proper context.
I'm not a teacher of English, but I have spoken it for (almost) all of my life....
Below are the full sentenes.
1. If we were back in urban reality now, we yet retained a glow imparted by our bucolic/country/rural/village idyll.
2. Barcelona feels a lot more cosmopolitan/global/multicultural than other Spanish cities.
3. Robert the next day seemed urban/urbane/provincial/assertive, sure of himself. even, she thought, pleased with himself.
4. Jackson spent the day meeting with local religious and civic/municipal/urban/uptown leaders.
5. Slum tenants/settlers/dwellers/denizens would filter through into better stock, or be rehoused by local authorities in new estates.
6. The picture showed a typical rustic/pastoral/rural/provincial scene.

Golf Channel analysts couldn't come up with enough puns to joke about an unfortunate incident this morning at Augusta when Rory McIlroy couldn't snatch a ball tossed to him by his caddy and it resulted in a bit of pain down south. It didn't seem to hurt his golf play, though—his front nine today has been outstanding.

Farewell to KFMB radio
KFMB 760 AM and 100.7 KFMB-FM to be sold by November 15
Ken Leighton 12:30 p.m., Oct. 21
Shortly after 9:00 pm on Saturday, August 31, KGB radio (101.5 FM) hosted its 38th annual Sky Show at Qualcomm Stadium following the SDSU Aztecs season opener vs. Eastern Illinois. I did not have a ticket to observe the show from inside the stadium, so I joined a crowd of similar viewers gathered in a Fountain View Business Park parking lot in the 3500 block of Camino Del Rio North.
As I waited for the fireworks show to begin, I thought I saw someone on the roof of the small building at the west end of the lot and went over for a closer look. I watched as an older guy, Dave (not his real name), scaled the corrugated doors on the side of the building to a small roof with a short, built-in ladder leading to another roof with a much longer ladder that put him on top of the building.
Looking over the side, and seeing me standing there, he asked if I wanted to come up. "Up here (on top of this roof) is the best seat in town (for watching the fireworks)," he explained. I thought, "Why not?" He came back down to the lowest roof and then helped me, climb up all the way, up. It was not as easy as he made it seem, and much scarier than I thought it would be, but he was right — it offered a clear, bird's-eye view of the area outside the stadium where the fireworks were to be launched from, including several lift-buckets, lined up in a row, that also held fireworks.
A short while later, two guys and a girl - all in their early 20s — also climbed up, joining us on the roof. The first of them saying, "I've never been up here before, but my friends have. I wanted to check it out." The show began several minutes later and thrilled the audience for over fifteen minutes. When the percussion fireworks (the loud 'BOOMING' ones) went off, the whole building we stood on shook.
Very cool photos. You didn't miss anything by not being inside. It would have been better outside for those of us that sat on the north end of the stadium. We couldn't see much except the high ones. (note to future attendees - sit on the Aztecs side, the south side of the stadium.) I thought the pictures on the big screen were distracting. I didn't understand the big searchlights, they didn't do anything to add to the show. Did you see the crane where they shot some of the fireworks off from remain on fire after the show? It was 15 minutes before anyone did anything about it.
Many years at least one of those platform lifts remain burning after the show. A few years ago, once they lowered the platform to the ground, they had to bring in a fire truck to use enough water to put it out.

Perhaps one of the most eclectic guest lists we've seen in recent memory, the crowd at Brian Atwood's party last night — a triple-threat celebration for his new NYC store, new e-commerce site, and new ad campaign — was a mix of old-school paparazzi targets, new school Us Weekly cover girls, downtown socials, and…one Olympian. Held at the very venerable Four Seasons restaurant, the institution attracted power shoppers rather than power suits — from Kim Kardashian to Lola Rykiel, Paris Hilton to Ryan Lochte, this wasn't lunch with your grandfather.
A neon sign reading "The Sex Is In The Heels" complimented the video of the same name, and the aesthetic previewed the upcoming boutique's interiors: purple everything, more-is-more '80s opulence (disco ball over the pool, anyone?), and, you guessed it — S-E-X. In this case, Kim Kardashian's dress and heels really are worth a thousand words.

Why 2013 will be a good year for biodiesel
Much sensationalized chatter has circulated in recent news reports about biodiesel demand slowing down this quarter, despite production volumes released by the EPA indicate that 83 million gallons of U.S. biodiesel was produced in October. While this is a decline from earlier months, it's not in my mind the makings of sordid tales by misinformed journalists overzealously ringing the alarm bells about the so-called downfall of the biodiesel industry. It is, rather, simple market-based economics driving the temporary slowdown.
We are still looking at strong year-to-date totals of 925 million gallons with two months left in the calendar year. While it is possible, if not likely, demand and production will remain unimpressive until the end of the reporting year (Feb. 28), I list below six reasons why 2013 could be a very good year for biodiesel.
1) RFS intact. The renewable fuel standard (RFS) has been under attack all year as several states backed by very strong lobby organizations petitioned EPA to waive the RFS. After serious consideration, EPA denied those requests, leaving the RFS intact—even if it's only "for now"—providing certainty to the renewable fuel markets.
2) Biodiesel RVO increase. Before the EPA ruled on the RFS waiver requests, it had finalized the 2013 biomass-based diesel volume obligation at 1.28 billion gallons, up 28 percent from the floor (and this year's volume requirement) of 1 billion gallons. The move was lauded by the industry but as EPA's decision on the RFS waiver requests loomed, the excitement was buffered. Now that the RFS is to remain intact with the significant increase in the biomass-based diesel category, the industry can perform at greater capacity under the additional certainty. This increase is both unprecedented, and sets a new precedent. To put this in perspective, the 2013 biodiesel RVO is 130 million gallons more than that for the combined 2009-'10 program years, and 280 million gallons more than this year's. If you forgot where we started from in RFS2, in 2009 the RVO was 500 million gallons; in 2010, 650 million gallons; in 2011, 800 million gallons; this year, 1 billion gallons; and next year, 1.28 billion gallons. By anyone's estimation, that is significant growth.
3) RIN integrity. After a year filled with reports of renewable identification number (RIN) credit fraud culminating in congressional hearings prompting EPA to restructure its RIN program, with input from all parties involved, progress is being made to provide the necessary tools to prevent fraud, providing obligated parties, RIN traders and biodiesel producers more marketplace certainty and stability in 2013. EPA recently released its draft quality assurance plan guidelines, and the agency is expected to release its proposed rule by year's end. Knowing it is on an expedited path, there is good reason to believe that the agency's final rule will be released by the 2012 reporting year deadline, or shortly thereafter.
4) Pathways. EPA is expected to make decisions on feedstock pathways under RFS2 in the coming year, the next most likely being palm oil. It's been under consideration by the agency for some time, and any decision it makes—to approve or disapprove palm oil biodiesel based on greenhouse gas emissions reductions compared to petroleum diesel—will reduce some of the unknowns that currently exist.
5) 2014 RVO proposal. EPA is expected to come out with its 2014 RVO proposal at some point in the near future (if the agency is on time with its release); will we see another big increase? Despite the fact that the oil lobby is suing EPA to reverse its 2013 RVO, you can bet the National Biodiesel Board, backed by sound feedstock and economic data, is working even harder to achieve another milestone jump in the biodiesel carve-out for the 2014 calendar year.
6) Tax credit? And lastly, it is still possible, although maybe not probable at this point, that the $1 per gallon biodiesel tax credit will pass in an extenders package by end of year, retroactively as it did in late 2010.

Zazzle & Warner Bros. Pretend All References To Wizard Of Oz Are Covered By WB Copyright
from the there's-a-problem-here deptLowestofthekeys alerts us to the situation of one W. Thomas Adkins, who had some t-shirt designs of his own making for sale on Zazzle... until they were taken down in response to a copyright claim. After Adkins requested more info on why his images were taken down, Zazzle explained:
...your product was removed due to an infringement claim by Warner Bros. Studios. While the artwork as you claim is original, the characters from the Wizard of Oz are currently property of Warner Bros. As a guideline, designs from the Wizard of Oz that are currently prohibited for sale on Zazzle's Marketplace are:There are a few problems with this. First of all, characters from the Wizard of Oz are not, in fact, "property of Warner Bros." The original book, written by L. Frank Baum, was published in 1900 and is in the public domain. The popular movie version, in which Warner Bros. holds the copyright, came out in 1939. This does lead to some interesting copyright questions, and a few lawsuits. For example, last year, we wrote about a lawsuit involving t-shirts designed with public domain Wizard of Oz images. And then there's a brewing fight over whether or not Disney can make a film based on the public domain parts of the Baum books if it makes no reference to the 1939 movie.
- Zazzle
- All inspired artwork and character renderings from the Wizard of Oz
- Quotes from the Wizard of Oz Franchise
- All tags and descriptions that reference the Wizard of Oz
Basically, what the law has said is that if you're making references to the specific characters or character traits that were portrayed in the movie, but which are not from the books, then its under WB's copyright. So, if you were to display pictures of the actual actors or specific expressions or outfits that are from the movie, but not the books, then there's an issue.
From Adkins' post, however, it appears these were the images on the t-shirts that were removed from Zazzle:
It is difficult to see how either of these come anywhere close to infringing on WB's copyright. The first one merely displays a witch's pointy hat. While it seems that the origin of the pointy, wide-brimmed witch's hat has been lost to history, the various reports online suggest it long pre-dates 1939 and the movie. In fact, it appears that images in the original books show the witch in a pointed, wide-brimmed hat. So the hat is not copyright to Warner Bros.
Then there's the flying monkey. Problem being... the flying monkeys were in Baum's books, and Adkins' drawing is quite different from the version in the movie.
The concept of water melting the witch? Also in Baum's books, and as Adkins details in his blog post, it way predates the Oz books anyway.
Basically, everything in Adkins' images appear to reference the original Baum books and not the movie. Assuming Warner Bros. did make a copyright claim, as Zazzle's email stated, then it is engaging in copyfraud here and asserting copyright against images it has no rights over.
That said, Adkins also exaggerates his own rights in his response to Zazzle, which he posted. After explaining to Zazzle why his works did not infringe on WB's copyright, he unfortunately goes on to say:
As such, I respectfully request that my material and corresponding artwork be returned to circulation for purchase immediately.Uh... no. Zazzle choosing not to display your work is, in no way, copyright infringement. As a private company, Zazzle has every right to refuse to display any particular work, even if its reasons are dumb. The public (and people like Adkins) are free to mock them, but there is no copyright issue there, and especially not infringement by Zazzle. The service certainly does not have the greatest reputation because of its quick trigger finger in pulling down perfectly legal content, but that doesn't mean it's illegal. Claiming that not displaying someone's work is infringement is just ridiculous, and takes away from Adkins' otherwise strong arguments.
Failure to do so would be an infringement on my copyright of my created artwork which, as verified by the testimony above, does NOT infringe upon Warner Bros. Entertainment's copyright on the 1939 film or the specific celluloid representations of the characters made in said film. If my copyright continues to be infringed upon I will seek legal action against both Zazzle and Warner Bros. Entertainment.
Either way, the original point stands: Adkins' works don't appear to be infringing WB's copyrights. If WB did make the claim, it appears that WB went way too far. Adkins should have just filed a standard counternotice to Zazzle, and one would hope Zazzle does the right thing and puts the works back up.

Renouncing, Reclaiming, Rebuilding: The 3 Steps of Radical Homemaking
Yesterday I counted 85 spears of asparagus nudging their way up through the soil (Asparagus may be finished in some parts of the country, but we're zone 4 here in cold upstate New York). I crawled along the row on my hands and knees, pushing aside clumps of rotted manure to reveal each spear. I ran inside and proudly reported the figure to my husband Bob. Then I called my mom, and told her, too. It took me longer to get this asparagus growing than it did to earn a Ph.D. I consider the achievement just as significant.
Anyone who has perused my writings can probably discern that I am not the best gardener. I've been guilty of insufficient weeding, inadequately nourishing my soils, failing to properly prepare my planting sites. Mainstream culture has encouraged Americans to specialize in what we are good at. We've learned to limit our daily activities just to those things we do best, and to allow someone else to meet the rest of our needs, never mind the social costs.
Radical homemaking pushes in the opposite direction. To have a socially just world, each of us must bear more responsibility for our well-being. The lifestyle requires a broad range of skills that will be different for everyone, and not everything comes easily. We don't have to tackle every aspect of self-reliance, but in order to make our homes truly a place of production, we must push ourselves to take on some skill sets that we don't naturally grasp at the outset. Every homemaker I interviewed felt their greatest pride not in doing what came easily, but in mastering the things that baffled them most, even if the results were amateur.
I noticed a series of phases that the homemakers periodically cycled through on this path to new mastery. It would start with a renouncing phase, where they would suddenly question some "given" in our mainstream culture: perhaps the importance of holding a job, or of listening to everything the doctor told them, or of sending their children off to school, or the wisdom of high debt loads, or the assumption that all food comes from a grocery store. During this period, the radical homemakers would become deeply introspective, read volumes, and spend time determining how best to honor their own spirits when negotiating this period in their lives. They might quit the job, pull the kids out of school, disregard what the doctor tells them, pull their money out of the stock market and pay off their mortgages. They might decide to garden.
Live Dangerously: 10 Easy Steps
When Shannon Hayes made a list of easy steps for becoming a radical homemaker, she didn't realize just how revolutionary they were.
In the reclaiming phase, he or she would set about re-claiming the skills needed in order to negotiate this new change. The skills can range from learning to cook so that their family is properly nourished, learning how to garden or keep livestock, gaining proficiency with alternative medicine, learning how to be with a new baby, getting comfortable with homeschooling, learning more about socially responsible investing. The variety of options is endless (and, I might add, no one took on all of them). Quite often, in order to successfully take on the new skills, however, the homemakers would need to retreat from other pursuits for a period of time. Perhaps they would resign from volunteer service, maybe they would cut back on the work they were doing for income. The objective would be to buy themselves the time they needed to gain the proficiency they were seeking, or to adjust to whatever life change they faced.
Generally, after a period of time, once the new skills were somewhat mastered, the homemaker would enter into the rebuilding phase, where he or she would once again feel able to offer themselves to the broader world. But this time, it would be on the terms of what they believed most deeply, and the offering would be made richer from the learning experience they'd come through.
No sooner did Bob and I renounce our careers and set about gaining self-reliance skills, than we found ourselves drowning in a sea of cloth diapers and precocious infants with a fascination for sharp objects, biting, and high-up places. It was all we could do to fulfill our farm responsibilities, pay the bills, fix the house and keep the kids alive. Meanwhile, our front field became an over-grown jungle, and our skill-reclaiming period was, literally, in the weeds.
When Ula (my youngest) turned one, I called a green thumb friend of mine and asked her for some houseplant cuttings, preferably succulents, which could handle some neglect. I promised myself that if I could keep them alive for a year, I'd allow myself to start entertaining the idea of a garden once more. She brought me over ten cuttings.
One year later, nine of them were still alive, several of them needed re-potting because they'd grown so well, and Ula had only tried to eat one of them (burro's tails really are hard to resist). We considered the experiment successful. That spring Bob and I tilled the ground for blueberries and raspberries, we set up a beehive, and we dug a deep trench for the asparagus.
I've learned more during this reclaiming period than I did in four years of college. I've gained some technical knowledge about soil nutrients, pH, microbial life, and the importance of organic matter. More importantly, I've learned a lot about myself and my family. Bob and I learn best through making mistakes, and we are both dedicated enough to our vision of our home and our food security to walk out to that garden every year and keep trying, in spite of the failures.
We share enough optimism between us to replace the things that die, and to experiment with new projects. In addition to the blueberries, raspberries and asparagus, we've now planted a small vineyard, an infant orchard, and we're up to five beehives. I've learned a lot about my parents, and their willingness to simultaneously make room for us down on the farm, but also to allow us the time and flexibility we've needed to tackle our own creative projects.
Eighty-five spears of asparagus doesn't seem like a huge harvest to bring food security to West Fulton, but today there will be more, and tomorrow there will be more still, plenty for our household and for sharing with my parents. The rebuilding phase of radical homemaking may mean taking on a great civic project, writing a book, teaching one's skills to others, or starting a viable business. But it can be something simpler, too. In this particular case, it means finally having enough to share, be it experience, stories, or just something good to eat.

Updated Aug. 6, 2015
VATICAN CITY — For people who have a visit to Rome on their itinerary, it may come in handy knowing how to get tickets to a papal Mass and how to attend the pope's Wednesday general audience. Catholic newlyweds are given special "VIP" treatment at a papal audience and should follow this link here to find out more.
Tickets to these events are free, but mandatory, so here are some ways to track them down:
1. The U.S. Bishops' Office for United States Visitors to the Vatican offers efficient and friendly service for securing tickets to most papal events.
The tickets should be requested at least 10 days in advance of the Wednesday general audience or the Mass the visitor would like to attend.
Send ticket requests by e-mail to email@example.com or by fax to (+39) 06-679-1448. The office telephone number is: (+39) 06-6900-1821. From the USA, dial 011 before the +39 country code.
The office is located near the Trevi Fountain on Via dell'Umilta 30. Tickets for the Wednesday audiences are distributed at the office Tuesday afternoons from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The office will advise visitors about the pickup date for tickets to papal Masses.
2. Write directly to the Vatican for tickets by using this pdf form. Send the filled-out form by fax to (+39) 06-6988-5863 (from the USA, dial 011 before the +39 country code) or put it in an envelope for the Pontifical Household, Vatican City State 00120, Europe.
After the request is made, the tickets can be picked up the afternoon before the audience between 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. or on the morning of the audience from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Bronze Doors under the colonnade in St. Peter's Square.
Click here to see where to find the Bronze Doors.
3. If you are already in Rome and haven't sent in a request, you may be able get a small number of tickets (max. 9) directly from the Swiss Guards at the Bronze Doors starting from three days before the Mass or general audience. Hours are from 8 a.m. to about 6 p.m.
Be warned that these tickets can run out and you will need a reservation if you need more than 10 tickets or you want to attend the very popular Christmas or Easter Mass.
No money-back guarantees: Unfortunately, having a ticket does not guarantee you get a seat or access to St. Peter's Basilica or the Paul VI hall when they become full to capacity. Events held in St. Peter's Square can accommodate about 80,000 people and you can stand in the outer edges of the square without a ticket.
Earlier the better: Because attendance has mushroomed since Pope Francis' election, getting there 1-3 hours in advance is advisable, especially when the audience moves into the smaller Paul VI hall in August and the colder winter months.
No tickets are required to go to the Sunday Angelus address in St. Peter's Square at noon.
Best place to be for a glimpse of the pope? Get situated anywhere near one of the large white wooden barricades if you want a chance to see the pope up close as he passes by in the popemobile.
If you bring your small children in the hopes of a papal kiss, be sure to have them wear hats and sunscreen to protect them from the harsh sunlight that beats down on the square.
Dress code: Visitors should remember that there is a strictly enforced dress code for entering St. Peter's Basilica — shoulders must be covered, even if with just a shawl, and shorts are not allowed. Women's pants, skirts or dress must reach the knees. The rules are relaxed for a general audience outdoors in St. Peter's Square.

Here's an amateur video we put together in 2011 showing how to get tickets, too:
