PATTA, Uttar Pradesh — This August, India's multibillion dollar Jaypee Group flagged off a sparkling, six-lane expressway.
The new roadway cuts in half the travel time from New Delhi to Agra, the city that is home to India's top tourist attraction, the Taj Mahal.
The company responsible for bringing Formula One racing to India last year, the Jaypee Group has never been short of ambition. Far more than a simple highway, the Yamuna Expressway project — which extends the suburbs of New Delhi deep into Uttar Pradesh — encompasses high-rise condominiums, universities and technical institutes, an exhibition center, a "sports city" of golf courses, cricket grounds and other facilities surrounding the Formula One speedway, as well as a second international airport to serve the capital area (yet to be built).
Moreover, its planners project that the promise of speedy travel will draw multinational firms like Honda, Daewoo, and Samsung — which already have factories in a township outside New Delhi called Greater Noida — deeper into Uttar Pradesh.
"The economic impact is going to be huge in the coming years," said Sachin Gaur, chief financial officer of Jaypee Infratech, the unit that built the expressway.
"Uttar Pradesh, till now, was not developing as fast as it could. Today, with Agra just an hour-and-a-half away, slowly this entire area between Greater Noida and Agra will work like a satellite city for [the capital region]."
In a country plagued by woefully inadequate infrastructure, the project could well transform the economy of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, and one of its least developed.
But despite the project's powerful potential, it took more than a decade to bring local stakeholders on board, acquire the land for the highway from farmers, and complete construction — illustrating both the challenges and the opportunities behind India's notorious infrastructure deficit.

First announced by then-Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kumari Mayawati in 2001, the expressway was derailed when her government fell in 2003, resurrected when she regained power in 2007, and only came to fruition shortly after she was again ousted by elections this May. In the early stages, land acquisition proceeded smoothly — accomplished by the government on Jaypee's behalf, using India's laws of eminent domain.
But as the state sought to capitalize on the project by acquiring more farmland for development alongside the highway, the Yamuna Expressway became a flashpoint.
In May 2011, farmers from the village of Bhatta-Parsaul, about 50 miles from New Delhi along the planned highway, kidnapped three officials from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation in the area to conduct a land survey. A three-hour gun battle ensued when police moved in to rescue the hostages, and two villagers and two policemen were killed. After a number of farmers were arrested, the protest swelled. Violence continued, and the state deployed as many as 2,000 police to restore order.
Remarkably, the expressway was not derailed — though Jaypee was unfairly tarred for the conflict, which involves real estate acquisitions by the state-owned Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority.

"Bhatta-Parsaul is probably two to three kilometers from where the expressway was built up," said Gaur, whose father, Jaiprakash Gaur, is the founder and chairman of the Jaypee Group. "When [the protest and police firing] happened, the entire land acquisition of the expressway was over two years before that. Just because the area was near the Yamuna Expressway, people linked it with Jaypee."
Even today, farmers continue to demand a renegotiation of land prices, toll-free travel on the expressway, the construction of new underpasses to make it easier to pass from one village to another, and on and on.
The struggle for land
Land acquisition remains the largest hurdle to industrial development in densely populated India.
Over the past decade, opposition has mounted to government drives to create special economic zones for industry — which critics say netted billions of dollars for politicians and business tycoons at the expense of small farmers. But despite a bloody conflict in Nandigram and Singur, West Bengal — which was the catalyst for the end of the 30-year reign of the Communist Party of India-Marxist in that state — the government has yet to push through a land acquisition bill intended to streamline the process and ensure fairness.
On a recent afternoon in Bhatta-Parsaul, 60-year-old Saukin, a wizened farm laborer, was bathing in a vacant lot near the rutted village road. Shot in the shin bone by police during last year's altercation, he still wears a painful-looking steel brace on his withered leg, screws twisted into his tibia.
Pouring a bucket of water over his head, he propped his injured leg on a lawn chair in an attempt to prevent his bandage from getting soaked.
"I can't work any more, so the village people are supporting me, and my wife and daughters are working," he said.
After he was shot, the government awarded Saukin with 50,000 rupees (about $1,000) in compensation, he says. But the operation to repair his leg cost double that amount, and the doctor is asking another 80,000 rupees to finish the job. A wealthier villager has floated him a loan, but it will accrue 3 percent in interest every month until Saukin gets back on his feet. And by that time, there may not be many farms left in Bhatta-Parsaul.
Along with more than 100 villages and towns, Patta has already sacrificed acres and acres of farmland to the state government. And though the ensuing residential and commercial developments are projected to create an economic boom, locals like 61-year-old Maumchand, a farmer who was forced to give up his 2.5 acre farm, fear their lives will never be the same.
"Many people will lose everything due to this expressway," says Maumchand, who was once Saukin's employer.
The successful completion of the toll road could be an important milestone in India's long battle to improve its woefully inadequate transport infrastructure — the key to jumpstarting the country's moribund manufacturing sector and putting millions of people to work. But just as the opening of the highway promises hope for investors and developers keen to cash in on India's massive domestic market and the super cheap labor available outside its major cities, the story of Saukin and other villagers like him illustrates the tremendous challenge involved in transforming a country of farms into a country of factories.
"The big people and the government have taken this land by an emergency clause for industrial purposes, but they're selling it to builders for residential projects," says another villager, who refuses to give his name, noting that several others who were involved in last year's protests are still behind bars.
"The economic boom will help rich people, not us. We will have to leave this place."
Villagers say that the government paid land owners 880 rupees (about $16) per square meter in compensation for any land that was acquired for the project, which was arguably a fair price for isolated farm plots. But once those plots were lumped together, and the expressway neared completion, prices skyrocketed to 6200 rupees per square meter for residential property and 22,000 rupees for commercial plots, displaced locals say.
The promise of infrastructure
Across the expressway in Atta Gujran, though, villagers have already built two- and three-story homes with money they received for their farmland. Satellite dishes festoon the rooftops, and nearly every compound has an expensive new car parked out front. Farther down the highway, in the town of Tappal, a group of locals gathered outside a bank, are excited about the promise of new economic opportunities that comes with modern infrastructure.
"This area was totally undeveloped, really rural," said Rang Lal Attari, a bald retiree dressed in a white kurta pajama and seated on a rope bed by the roadside. "Now some development will come here."
According to a 2009 report on India's infrastructure problems by the consultancy McKinsey & Co., India then boasted one of the world's largest road networks, but only a quarter of its supposed "national highways" had even two lanes, and nearly 90 percent of India's highways are "structurally inadequate" to support the 11.2 ton per axle that trucks are allowed to carry.
Nothing much has changed in three years. A typical highway journey means plunging through yawning potholes and weaving around bullock carts, not to mention school children, working elephants and the odd farmer chasing a herd of rawboned cattle to market. So it's not surprising that transport delays cost Indian industry an estimated $725 million per year, according to a new report from the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways.
"Before, traveling from here to New Delhi took six hours one way," said Neeraj Sharma, a property dealer who has profited from escalating land prices. "Now, it takes four hours roundtrip. Property values have increased by more than 10 times."
Because of the infrastructure deficit elsewhere, the impact here — and all along the expressway to Agra — could indeed be dramatic, according to experts like Parvesh Minocha, group managing director of Feedback Infrastructure, a consulting firm.
The expressway slashes travel time from New Delhi to Agra — where leather factories and other industries will benefit from the faster connection to one of the country's most lucrative markets. But, more importantly, it passes through one of India's richest agricultural zones and links area towns and villages to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor — a $90 billion, dedicated freight corridor comprising 24 planned cities.
"Because of the corridor, the growth will probably be far more than it would be for a general road anywhere else," said Minocha.
"I'm not only depending on the tourist traffic to Agra. That's only going to be a small component. Industry, freight, logistics — the connectivity for the rest of western Uttar Pradesh could actually grow very drastically, and therefore it could have a much bigger impact than one would have imagined even a few years ago."

"Is this what you want?" her brother, from behind her, stroking.
"mm-mhuh…; more – " like you did them, she said, his sister, naming names.
They sat across from George in a row from left to right, Maggie and their three girls – teenaged and too-true, triplets – his bevy of beauties, his life's share of ladies; his twin sister and their daughters, their bare legs all, crossed right-over-left, his females grinning at him, especially Maggie, and he was fervently grateful to God to be the felled prey in this catfight among his women. Maggie, forty-one and green bikini-ed, still supple and smolderingly mature – he otherwise liked better her broader behind – and The Coup: Eleanor, Bridget, and Gretchen, identical and identically almost dressed in red – strings & a few swatches of fabric, as if wearing only samples of complete bikinis – three sets of blue eyes and dark brown hair, all ivory white softness and ready heat, they could brood and conform like George, laugh and swear like Maggie, had neither of their parents' innate talent but were intelligent even more so, buying into none of the illusions of culture: sex was what it is, and morality was how you defined it.
George wrote music where he was. He'd listen to the jukebox at the bar, or, at home, to the radio randomly for melodies he wished he had written: jotting down words, phrases, changing whole hooks, verses, and themes to suit his tastes and mood, then incorporate them into guitar or piano – and still more changes – until he'd arranged another's work into something completely different and that he could call his own, as far as copyright laws and awards ceremonies were concerned. Maggie edited his drafts for signs of life and marketability. They then together sang and harmonized and further arranged the sound until someone'd buy it. They'd always done it this way.
At the house, scribbling, and plinking or strumming through some confusion he'd created, the girls, home from their senior year at prep school – behavioral science & psychology – would take turns gleefully teasing their father with their newfound adult bodies and wiles, boldly wandering by in underwear that hardly qualified – waiting on the laundry, or for their hair to dry – and have a seat sideways in his lap, swinging an arm around his neck, setting their breasts under his nose and giving his lap a little grind – 'hi daddy, whatchya doin`, how's it goin`?' Maggie could see this, and was as much amused by her own small jealousy as she was by her Georgie's helplessness – what could he say? 'I'm hard-up for my daughters – make `em stop'?
While developing their undergraduate dissertation, it's thesis was still unclear; any one of the girls alone wouldn't dare their father for exploratory sex, but as a group – The Coup, each alternately boss or baby-doll in their secret, fluid hierarchy – the three of them could brave their ambitions and gang-up on daddy, objectively reasoning through and rationalizing, even justifying, their ambush as scholarly and clinical, however sexually charged: 'He wants to fuck us: what's it like to let him…to want to let him? Bad? – it's our idea…why? – we're entitled to him… and he's got no real problem with it – Oedipus wanted to screw his mother, but did his mother half mind the attention?' They'd write the paper collaboratively, purportedly as pure theory, interviewing only each other and limiting their research to just the one sex act – his fetish – that daddy'd not refuse and would preserve their virginity in the traditionally strictest sense. They'll have changed the names and would deny everything, having since destroyed their notes.
At least that's how they'd sell it to mom; Maggie'd know better, but would appreciate the lie.
George was downstairs in the studio, where he'd be for the evening, so when Maggie came in on them in the den, it was now just the four females sitting around loopy and b.s.ing in that honest way the cold-sober cannot – the girls passing the joint and a drink to her as usual, Maggie having had to hang up her 'mommy hat' a year or so ago; the girls had killed the video though, in mid-scene, when they had heard her at the door, and so it appeared they had been just hanging out in the quiet.
Talk of anything else, as always, became talk of sex – revealing, and, among themselves, comfortable and funny: they agreed masturbation was never awkward – we don't make mistakes with ourselves – and their mother confirmed for her young daughters that a good fuck was always great, the virgins weren't wrong to dream of it.
"We've got porn" they offered, and their mother thought this would be good: what did her daughters think hot?
The flick resumed where it had been stopped, the two young people thrown in action. Maggie recognized her Georgie first, then a moment later the room – this room – and though she hadn't watched the home movie in years, when the blondie he was sodomizing looked up, it would be her.
And then there she was, in all her glory: her face red, splotchy, and her eyes unseeing, wildly looking inward at all her brother was doing behind her and her voice loud and inarticulate, out of control and a string of drool swinging from her lower lip – a pure performance and no act, this was huge and she was into it.
The Coup watched their mother watch; for a sure minute, Maggie observing her early self and making it plain she wouldn't shy from this surprise. She paused the video, finally, rather than quit it – all quiet and she and her twin brother a still blur as if caught in mid-air: boyish George forward into his tight sister and grimacing with the effort, all strain & tensility; young Maggie's expression hard and as clean as a new dime, steely and exact; cheap awe and sweet misery, their hair everywhere – a poster of the girls' parents at their best worst.
Maggie turned to her daughters; she didn't often blush.
"So. What's this about?" She really couldn't say, but was not that surprised when they told her – she suspected more to their flirting than mere tease; as were their parents, the girls always meant what they said and did what they meant.
Some discussion, then all understanding and belief, after a time, and so the girls put on the movie again, their parent's private archive; drinking beer, getting high, and Maggie and her daughters watched uncle dad despoil aunt mom in the ass – seventeen years ago as now, illegal in all of Western Civilization, and, in the privacy of their domicile, the law not allowed to prove it.
"I'll supervise" she consented, and Maggie confided in them things that even the video didn't reveal, and her daughters confessed some of their darker needs and curiosities, and they lowered the volume so they wouldn't have to speak over the shrieks of the young woman onscreen.
The girls crouched listening at their parents' door that next evening, so far only the mist of light from a dim lamp inside – wordlessly joking and speculating, eavesdropping for telltale talk and sounds: lengthy, low-spoken debate from within the bedroom, and then no talk and some small motions for awhile; then more agreeable speak and a moment of broader movement about: one of the stout straight-back chairs, missing from the dining room, dragged to the center of the floor, then nothing.
George and M
aggie, the girls knew, would never really get over themselves. Distrustful of their own intent, they were sometimes afraid of what they were and wh
at each really wanted of the other – he, sure he was only an incestuous shit keeping his pretty sister hostage, and she, just a brother-luvin` slut using his weaknesses to her advantage; he'd poke her too hard so she would bite him, she'd scratch him so he would make her swallow too much; he'd spank her, she'd hit him – he'd force her so she would fight him and she'd fight him so he would force her, and rough sex was just their own lovesick way with each other.
Though more was expected, the girls still started at the first sharp cracks – no voices yet, just the irregular flat smacks of big flesh; the girls knew of the paddle and the handcuffs – and then the spanks coming steadily, faster, and finally their mother's calls for more, demanding, as aggressive as was their father's swing of the wood.
But not always.
Some evenings, their parents would retire early and not be seen or heard from again until the late news, reemerging after a couple of hours all sheepish smiles and unspoken satisfaction and affections – happily and not a mark on either of them, tranquil and pleased with their simple lovemaking, if a little embarrassed with their easy joy. The girls'd remark 'good?', smirking, and George'd just say, "yes. very good, thank you" period, and he meant it, and the discussion was over, and he meant that too.
No sounds, suddenly, from behind their parent's door, and in the brief quiet the girls caught themselves gasping in the still of the dark hallway. They heard whispers, their daddy's, telling, to mommy, then, no less shattering than the spanking, their mother's voice in the grave groan of penetration where it always hurt, if even a little; the girls were new, it would be a lot.
They then began overhearing themselves referred to, breathlessly, by their mother, each in succession:
" – …you gonna deep-ass Ellie…?"
" – and jam-fanny Gretchen…?"
" – and fuck-butt Bridgie… this faa-asst & haar-arrd…?"
the sounds of their daddy's sodomy of mom more vigorous with each mention of his daughters' names; he was thinking of them.
The girls slipped back across the hall and watched their parents' bedroom from their own, staring at the closed door as though seeing through it: varying noises, randomly urgent and relaxed, only the girls' names and vulgar associations were intelligible, but all as understood as if living it.
The nightly news was flickering in the corner when Maggie stepped robed into their bedroom without knocking and handed her daughters a quart jar of what looked like spoiled egg whites; globules hovered throughout and it was still hot and gross with life.
"It took three times to fill it; now drink up" a pearl of which caught in their mother's hair, another drop glistening from her face.
Bridget passed the jar to Gretchen who unscrewed the lid and took a sniff; it smelled like nothing they'd experienced and exactly like fresh sperm.
Gretchen communicated some courage to her sisters, then took the first foul swallow: her father's produce slid liquid like a slug down her throat and made her eyes water; Bridget and Eleanor followed suit, sewer-warm mouthfuls of the starch apiece, then George's potent virility swimming fertile in all his daughters' stomachs. Maggie hurried the girls to choke back the jarful without pause.
"Did you fake?" asking their mother, regarding the home movie, the orgasms.
"It was real."
"So we'll cum." A question.
"Dirty-talk helps; I'll give him the go-ahead."
"He's so cute, all shy and shit" a safe, familiar tool: he loved his girls, and they knew it, and he was bothered with himself, and they knew that as well, gleefully so; Maggie warned them of what to expect from their father, detailing the moment they'd be at his lust's mercy, when she'd just let them bear its brunt, as she had – their first week back in class, if they weren't careful, sporting a stitch and a hemorrhoid pillow – and they were less cavalier with their folly.
"Oh, were going to do this, ladies" Maggie ruled. She tossed them a towel. "Have this with you," and nodding toward the empty jar, "you'll need it afterwards – the first of you, especially."
"You know you'll like it, so lighten up" Maggie said, while the girls laughed in peals at their father's fake if-requisite hesitance. He was glad for the glass in his hand; he'd need to be liquored-up. It was three evenings later, allowing chaste time for the girls to get anxious and for their daddy to replenish, a day for each daughter. George still appeared the worse for wear after the other night: fingernail scratches striped his throat and shoulders, and he wore a lump over one eye where Maggie had at one point clocked him – when he was pinning her to the mattress, he thinks. George wore her marks as an announcement, a display of his worst character; but though the girls hadn't forgotten their mother's wails, his points scored on her however stayed secret, her warmed-over tushie and torn hole a matter between only them. Maggie knew no such guilt; she would not be ashamed of what she let George do to her – it's private, but not shameful.
"It's not always about you, daddy" the middle one, Eleanor, added. "C`mon daddy, do us" to the left of her, Gretchen, and " – yeah, we've been bad girls" from the right, Bridget, and then more amusement.
Maggie had dropped by the porn store earlier in the day. One of three bottles of designer sex oil she had bought for tonight lay to her right in the folds of the clean towel – left to themselves, her daughters would have just dug up some Vaseline or Crisco. Maggie told the girls to choose which flavor they'd prefer, and they had asked what difference did it make, tonight was about anal sex. Their mother told them that they would also be doing some oral and that it wouldn't be foreplay – they'd have other tastes to contend with. They decided on banana, liking the innuendo. Bridget asked if there had been cucumber.
" – and what, no oak?"
" – or steel?" Ellie and Gretchen chiming in.
George sat slouched on the sofa, his robe open and his prick reaching almost to his chest. The girls walked over to him and stood shoulder to shoulder with their hands behind them, as if each bringing him a small present, eyeing his big dick all giant for them.
"No hard feelings…" she said, and Ellie handed him another drink, scotch & ice. "For before."
Bridget handed him a cigarette – pot – and said, "For after; save some, we may both need it" and she winked.
Preemptive peace offerings, George thought. He felt better. Maggie wasn't let in on this stunt, and then realized they'd all be alright; especially the girls, but even she.
Gretchen waited; Maggie could see she held nothing. The girls looked at each other, then back at daddy. She then put out her hands, palms-up, empty: "No condoms; for during" and George chuckled, thinking this clever of his girls – and honest – and expecting them to be as pleased with their smart wit; but they just smiled warmly at him and went back to their mother for further direction, turning from him and sashaying away the mere few steps for all they were worth.
It seemed a shame: three small red triangles, at eye-level and accentuating more so than concealing perfect orbs of soft fat – the kind of ideal derrieres a few lucky women keep naturally, not a day of sun or exercise to their credit – his daughters' lazy round fannies; but no doubt other men would one day have these very beauties, and he might as well be first.
"Line up, girls."
George disrobed; now the only one of them wholly exposed, he finished his initial drink, then began downing the second. Maggie stepped up close, handing him the sex jell and touching his erection.
"I know what you like," an aside, off the record, " – go easy on them", and a reminding smile, gentle and warning; she and he
r brother were long friends with a surgeon down the block sympathetic to their 'arrangement'; he'd treated Maggie in the past, but had made George watch.
The girls flipped coins, and three dimes spun in the air alike until coming to rest to single out one: two heads and a tails – establishing who would go later, and who was to get done now. "Strip, Bridgie, and bend over" and she was naked and knelt over on the couch before she was sure being first meant she had won.
George pulled at himself behind her, oiling and polishing his cock, splashing lubricant between them, then began on Bridget abruptly enough – plunging and corkscrewing his fingers to the knuckles less gently than he could of, jamming the flavored Go-Glide up her butt and then his thumb hooked into her and tugging all around. After enough of this, Bridget thought her father'd put his fist between her buns, until she felt him affix his hands – both hands – to her hips while the force in question remained in place.
Then proceeded.
"ow" as if maybe that's all it would amount to. Then "*ow*" again, not caring who knew and this being only the beginning. George closed in on his daughter's ass: "ow-ow-OOOWAAAH" ever more pushing to a point, then constant pressure and holding. "Breathe, Bridgie" Gretchen & Eleanor cooed to their sister, coaching, and Bridget continuing to yell; as she was sure he couldn't be fit in, that they'd have to try something else, her father's lap then smacked flush to her seat – the big stretch and a sudden pound less of available space within her – and her buttfuck was fast underway, already a good number of full strokes in front of her grasp of it happening.
A last clipped shout from her, and a brief, trembling silence – Bridget plainly doggy-style and her father square behind her, George well ploughing as he had her mom in the home video – then crazed hollers & squalls, Bridget baying to her sisters for help, that she couldn't take it though he'd delivered to her by then already another dozen in as many seconds, the first fast moments of 20 more minutes the whole of which she'd remember as individual strokes: pack-slap, pack-slap – her buns shaken in short, jarring waves and as hard a ride as she would ever know, Gretchen and Eleanor witnessing this power-sodomy of their sister as as well their own fate.
This was their daughters' show: romancing & affectionate, the free girls worked-up the one getting railed with improvised fuck-speak, two sisters buoying the burdened third with lusty reminders of their purpose to bask in this banging, her hole getting cored, and to prove it with an orgasm – wallowing in the very twistedness of it all as a spotlight on the sheer sex of each thrust felt: dragging back & forth at her rectum, every inbound a ballooning rush inflated high inside, every outbound as forgiving as a good shit – until their slight frames shook and pussies would cream as no masturbation could effect. Maggie stayed an audience of one, an uninvolved authority, and her brother, George, the father of these girls of hers, a trustworthy prop of which to make crude pits of his daughters' novice bottoms.
George blew a soak of protein up Bridget's ass, then withdrew, and turning his daughter around he eased into her mouth and encouraged her to spend a minute longer doing what she hadn't counted on and was of no empirical merit; a resigned minute of cleaning up the spermy, bowel-juice mess of own insides off her father's prick for her sister next in line – he'd have to re-lube for Gretchen, Bridget having left her father's prick sterile of all but her saliva; and finished off, her backend limp & spent as a used condom, an understated '…wow' was all she could say, mopping her buttcrack of trace bleeding and gouts of purged sperm.
Gretchen had made a bed of the sofa cushions and was curled tight on all-fours, looking straight at the floor, her hair spilling around her head and hiding her face; pulling one cheek wide aside while gouged & poked, having seen Bridget so prepared without fanfare, Gretchen knew of her father's fingers first probing, then his thumb pulling, and at last his hands placed and not his fist pushing; she'd soon feel he was elbow-deep into her, and she put her hand back beneath her to hold fast to the floor. George looked down his daughter's back, seeing her spine a ridged arch, her body a hard curvature of young muscle doubled-over & stone-solid, though her flourishing hips swelling round from her waist betrayed a burgeoning maturity – his girls not-so ahead of themselves, their bodies not yet all-woman but their greed not at all a child's; he pitched hard into her – a wet creak and a brunt pat at her seat, like fucking a rock of flesh – her rectum swallowing whole his complete meat in one vast gulp.
Force-adjusted, it was Gretchen now loud for her sisters – for more kisses and caresses, reinforcements of any sort – and George spread his daughter's pretty buns as far as they'd part to watch her soft hole clutching and smoothly hooping in & out with every stroke of his prick and the brown-pink froth foaming at the edges of her anus, the same broth of which he'd made Bridget suck him clean. Gretchen squatting froggy, low and her knees drawn up under and wide aside her, her buns boldy pointed at her father's crotch and leading with her rectum, like her mom in the island layout and living the photo's design, bare-assed and being butt-pumped, the contrast between her daddy's great gnarled sausage dividing her raw muffins and all-opening her as he had mom when she was her age, cannon-firing his cock solid up her butt – explosion, recoil, and explosion again, spit bubbles and cooze, wet at both ends and her ass blasted for half-again longer as had her sister endured – and Gretchen then felt lumps of hot paste adhere to her insides, her daddy's spillage flushing through her, an organic slick that'd take all night to drain off.
And then Eleanor, on the floor as well, but lying face-down over one of the sofa's large throw pillows, more restful and in for the better part of an hour, her father's knees planted to either side of her hips and his ankles hooked over her legs, behind her knees and holding her immobilized and pinned in place; no prolonged push until he was let inside, as he had been with Bridget & Gretchen, his weight carried him into her just as she was readying to be entered and before her yell reached her throat, no more unbearable but less gradual the discomfort: a rigid pause, waiting for air, George already stroking through his daughter, and then a howl from her she thought stopped long before it did, nailing Eleanor to the floor through her fanny, sodomizing heavier the third of his daughters, drilling and feeling her squirm under him, she as if in search of an easier way to get fucked up her soft ass: ten whole inches of play along the length of her father's cock and none of it free of its girth – 3 inches wide and all too thick, whether shallow or shockingly deep.
Eleanor was then knelt upright by her father, his hands clamped atop her shoulders: she could be seated no further down than her ass squashed flat, was let no more up than within an inch of out, then forced at the shoulders for the wide ride back into place; he'd manage only a smear of semen inside the last of his daughters and he'd make the most it, driving hard, leveraging her whole body onto him. Bridget & Gretchen knelt in front of Eleanor as she was bounced pogo-motion from behind, and Gretchen ventured too-affectionate smooches of her face and neck – for both their sakes, Ellie's titties jumping and jiggling – and Bridget reached under Eleanor to finger her pie.
Gretchen looked over at her, and Bridgie blushed, uncertainly smiling back at her sister, though her fingers softly remaining inside Ellie and getting results; Gretchen kissed Bridget on the lips – nicely lingering, entwining tongues, bot

in at each other, and then at Eleanor: goodwill & consent all around, and Bridget as sweetly smooched Eleanor in the same manner, their father still absorbed with reaming-running-roughshod up Ellie's ass, and Gretchen put her fingers between Bridget's legs. The girls they then all three looked over at Maggie; she'd at some point poured herself a large tumbler of wine and had been quietly seated off to the side, having a smoke, observing the action. She suddenly got their message and rolled her eyes and laughed, deeply blushing herself, and just said '…ok', and then as cheerfully nervous as her daughters, " – tomorrow night."
All got their remarkable mention – Bridget, taking the first, biggest load, an entire pint enema; then Eleanor getting the last, longest ride, 40 minutes; and Gretchen, a good portion of both and set to her choice of music – throbbing, bass-heavy rhythm and a free-form vague poetry, the drive of the tempo rather than the songs' simple messages: electro-botic / techno-botic mechanical & dispassionate music you could attach your own meaning to because all it did was feel good.

When it comes to makeup, certain things can make a huge difference in application and how the makeup appears on your skin. You can have great products, but they are not going to look their best without the right application and skin prep. These tips are designed to help you achieve the best application possible.
- Make sure to exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week. This will ensure a smooth surface that your makeup can glide onto evenly.
- Moisturize and prime. This will help your makeup stay in place all day with a smooth and even finish. Let your moisturizer sink in for about 10 minutes before applying your base as this will prevent the two from mixing together and appearing oily.
- Blend, blend, blend! This tip applies to foundation, blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, and all of your makeup applications. It may take a couple extra minutes, but it is absolutely worth it. Once the makeup is set, take the time to really buff the product into the skin so that there are no harsh lines and your makeup is visibly undetectable. This will make your look appear more natural and stay in place longer.
- Choose the right brush and/or sponge. Most of us can't afford to own tons of brushes, but there are a few that will make a big difference. For a full-coverage foundation, use a dense and thick brush like the Deluxe Foundation Brush. For a lighter application, use a sponge or Duo Fiber Brush. Use a large, soft brush like the Deluxe Blush Brush to buff in blush and bronzer, which will provide an airbrushed look. Lastly, use a brush like the Angled Shadow Brush to blend eyeshadow with precision!
- Start soft and light, then build. Trust us; it is much easier to add product than take it off. Always tap excess product off your brush before applying, and use a light hand when applying. Build the color to your desired look little by little.
- If you are creating a more dramatic eye look, try applying your eye makeup before your foundation and concealer. This time-saver will keep you from getting eyeshadow fallout all over your finished cheeks.
- Don't forget to set your makeup with a powder, setting spray, or both. You don't have to get heavy with this step, but blotting on a bit of powder in your oily areas and finishing with a mist will ensure your skin doesn't get shiny. Plus this step will help your makeup sink in and blend together.
- Always exfoliate and moisturize your lips, especially if you are planning to wear a bold and/or matte lip color. If you have a lip scrub, use that, otherwise you can use sugar (add a drop of olive oil for extra moisture) and your favorite lip balm. This step will help your lipstick from sinking into cracks and drying on your lips.
- Choose the right products for your skin type and tone. We realize this is a very broad tip, however it is important! For example, use a matte foundation and matte bronzer for oily skin and an illuminating foundation and creamy blush for dry skin. If you are both oily and dry, avoid creamier, illuminating products on oily parts of your skin; blotting powders are also highly recommended.
- Finally, embrace your favorite features and highlight them! If you have big, beautiful eyes, try winged liner and a bold color on the lower lash line to bring attention to them. If you have gorgeous, plump lips, be bold with your lip color! If you have beautifully chiseled cheekbones, use a highlighter to define them even more.
Make sure to share these tips with your friends & family!

My family stayed in Room 2005 on October 4-6,2013. After one night my daughter woke up with welts and bites on her arms and legs as well as on her face with unbelievably intense itching. I didn't even think about it being bedbugs at the time. However, after the second night I had a couple of bites myself. When I returned home, more bites erupted on me--legs, arms, face, front and back of neck. The itching is intolerable. When I did research into insect bites on the internet and saw the pictu
re of bedbug bites, it is exactly like what my daughter and I both have. No matter what I put on them, it just continues to itch and swell.

text: The upper house of Russia's parliament is mulling measures allowing property and assets of European and US companies to be confiscated in the event of sanctions being adopted against Russia over its threatened military intervention in Ukraine. The bill's author, Federation Council constitutional legislation committee head Andrei Klishas, said Wednesday that lawyers are currently studying whether the proposed confiscations would be constitutional. "But we have no doubts that it clearly corresponds to European standards," Klishas told RIA Novosti. "The recent events in Cyprus spring to mind, where the confiscation of assets was the main demand made by the European Union in return for economic aid."

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'brunch pudding' tag.
from ExtraVeganZa by Laura Matthias
4 medium pears, ripe
1 1/2 c vanilla soy milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c maple syrup
2 1/2 tbsp whole or sifted spelt flour (I used all-purpose; she says any other flour works well)
2 tsp arrowroot powder
1/8 tsp cardamom, ground
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin, bite-size pieces. Place them in a medium saucepan and saute on medium heat, stirring the pears so that they do not stick to the pan. Be sure to use ripe pears, as they will help provide enough juice to keep the pears from sticking. Add the ground cardamom and continue to stir.
In a separate bowl, place the remaining ingredients and whisk them together thoroughly. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the pears and whisk together. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and continue whisking for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the mixture evenly into 4 small dessert serving bowls. Chill the pudding for a couple of hours until set. Serves 4.

Mafia 3 is just 2 weeks away from its launch, and fans of the series are excited to finally get there hands on the game. As the release for the game is getting closer developer Hangar 13 has been revealing new details about the game, and this time the developers has released a new video detailing how to make money in Mafia 3.
According to executive producer, Andy Wilson, Lincoln can earn money in Mafia 3 in a variety of ways, either by taking out individual gangsters or by controlling the entire crime ecosystem of the districts. The later one will give you more money.
Also Read: Mafia 3 Follows The Witcher 3's Footsteps, Lots of Free DLC Promised
There are criminal rackets in every district of the city, if players take them down they will get tip-offs on high value targets. When you interrogate these targets they will give you the location of money stored by another racket.
However, making money in Mafia 3 might not be easy, but keeping it is also not a piece of cake. The money the Lincoln will get will be stored in his wallet, however, if players die than there money will be lost. In order to save your cash, there is a service in the game that will be offered by one of the under bosses.
Using this service Lincoln calls a driver who comes and picks up the cash and it is safely stored and will not be lost if he dies.
While the game is getting close to its release, Hangar 13 has released the system requirements for Mafia 3, and in a time of high specs demanding games, Mafia 3 seems reasonable.
The game requires 2nd gen Core i5 as a minimum while it requires 3rd gen Core i7 as a recommended requirement.
Mafia 3 is scheduled to launch on October 7, 2016 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Ever step out of the house into the silvery light of the moon when its just a shadow of its former whole self? Cool almost damp air presses in on your skin refreshing you even as it leaves a misty trail along your neck. And the stars, polished to sparkling points, brilliantly arranged in their exhibition of celestial artwork, stand out starkly against a perfectly clear velvet darkness. You breathe in deeply, absorbing the magnificence of it all, until it becomes a part of your soul...along with a profound feeling of being at rest in the midst of the spinning chaos called the 'verse. Recognition dawns...your voice, albeit a small one, is a necessary part of the cosmic Love Story playing out all around. You have a role to fill that against the beauty of this incredible night seems so irrelevant...but is the exact antithesis...in Truth you are an intricately created being whose actions affect all those within your orbit. You take in the moon, the air, the stars, and wild untame-able joy is unleashed in the inner most part of you as the decision is made to....pursue with passion the Big Dream. After all, you remind yourself, life is too short and the days are to long for you to be ordinary....

Being an MOB or MOG comes with a lot of responsibility. You have to resist the urge to be in control of every detail regarding the wedding, while providing meaningful input and at the same, comfort your daughter or son through all the stress and tears. It's tough being a mother let alone being a mother of a bride or groom. Your role is vital in the process and the wedding day is special for you too. You've watched your little girl grow up to marry her prince charming, so it is important to choose the perfect outfit for the occasion.
Check out these 5 tips to choosing the right MOB outfit:
Everyone knows that it's the bride's day, and rightfully so, it is her special day that she has been planning for months. It is her time to shine; choose an outfit that will complement your son or daughter and reflect your support at the same time. If you have any thought that the outfit you want to wear will steal the attention, then it is probably the wrong choice. There are many different outfits for a MOB and MOG, it is just a matter of finding a place that has the right expertise to guide you in this process. With a variety of styles, colours and sizes available, you are spoiled for choice!
It has become a trend to match the colour scheme of the bridal party. You still need to standout some how, so choose a different shade of the chosen colour. This way, you'll get the best of both worlds – your outfit will be noticeable, and you'll be recognised as an important figure on the wedding day.
The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable on your wedding day, which is why it is important to choose an outfit that you can easily move in. As an MOB or MOG, chances are, there will be a lot of moving around on the day, from taking photos and giving a speech, to fixing bridal party outfits and greeting guests. There are variety of styles to choose from that include beautiful pant suits, long and short-length dresses – you are bound to find something that you feel comfortable in, and look stunning in.
Choosing your outfit can be just as exciting as choosing the bride's wedding dress. Take some of your girlfriends along, and of course your daughter or future daughter in law to join in on all the fun. It is essential that you purchase your outfit with enough time to pay full attention when it comes to the end of the planning process. As any bride or groom knows, the last few weeks are the most stressful and this is the time when they most need the support of their parents. You don't want to be running around trying to get your outfit sorted on the last minute when your child needs your assistance with the planning or simply just a shoulder to lean on.
Like any outfit, you need to ensure that it fits properly. Remember, all eyes will be on you as well, so make sure you look the part. Many professional wedding attire boutiques with have an in-house tailoring service to ensure all outfits worn by the bridal party fits correctly. This factor is also crucial when it comes to taking photos. Years down the line, you don't want to regret wearing an ill-fitting dress or suit that makes your body look completely different. Wearing a garment that fits properly ensures a polished, well-presented look.
Use these guidelines to purchase the perfect MOB or MOG outfit. Also, visit a reputable bridal boutique for expert advice and wide range of beautiful dresses and suits to choose from.

Don't you want to sit at the Welcome Table? How beautiful does this dinner party look?!
I'm loving little birdies this week. Great tutorial at Craft Passion for these guys.
And Sugar Belle can talk you through these!
The sight of this alley brought back this great memory of the bottle cap collection I had as a child. Shoe boxes full of them. And my friends had their own boxes. We could kill and afternoon by harvesting tons of bottle caps around houses being built just after the crew went home for the day, then laying them all out and comparing. We were always trying to get one that no one else had.
And finally, this sweet poem was my introduction to Words Dance, and what a treasure you will find there!
I wish...
I wish you star-shot nights.
Fevered limbs spangled with the glory of your dreams.
I wish you sunflowers and glitter.
May you live to grow creaky and see the trees bend.
I pray for peony petals for you, for sweet williams, blushing tints.
For bridal gowns, dress up and ropes of pearls.
I wish you an open heart,
I wish you succulent bites, warm from the oven.
By the hands of your loved one.
May you find wild strawberries, sun-warmed and sweet.
May you wash your hands of their sticky blood with mountain water
Like we did as children.
You must remember.
- Grace Quantock

Brief Summary of Public Hearing Interview with House of Representatives inquiry into Biodiversity in a Changing Climate.
After our submission last year to the inquiry, the committee invited ESA to a public hearing to discuss our submission. Our members who wrote the submission were not available so I, as President, attended the public hearing on Wed, 28th March in Sydney.
I met with three of the committee for 3/4 hour; Mr Tony Zappia (chair), Dr Max Washer (deputy chair), Ms Jill Hall. I briefly summarised the main points of our submission and then they asked questions. The questions covered the following issues (a summary of answers in italics):
- How the ESA was able to coordinate submissions of this kind and capture the opinions of professionals –I described how we did this submission and the development of hot topics
- The concept of connectivity and whether many small and a few big reserves are important. I described the need for larger reserves for species migration as environments changed and herefore connectivity was important. I described the change in the role of a reserve from protecting what is currently present (the original aim of a reserve) to one which is large enough to be flexible to movements and re‐sorting of ecosystems.
- whether increasing population size was a significant part of the problem. Yes it is probably underlying many of the current environmental stressors
- What about dryland salinity? Not my area of expertise but there are certainly knowledgeable people within ESA who would be able to discuss this better.
- whether the extinction rates associated with the last 250 years were at all ameliorated by current conservation activities. I suggested that we had been more successful recently with our efforts to save some species but that the future held a whole new range of possible extinctions so that we must continue to do more.
- whether fire was a useful tool in management – fire regimes was what was crucial – too little is as bad as too much and the value in using fire will be region and habitat specific.
- whether the CMAs and/or NRMs were successful – variable! I stressed the need for highly skilled ecologists to be more influential in these groups as ecologists understand how biodiversity may be affected by particular activities better.
- whether there was enough skilled individuals to fulfill new roles in conservation. I suggested that there was adequate at present, and that many who have been trained were leaving the field through lack of jobs. I also stressed that higher degree students were most valuable.
- whether funding was adequate and equitable ‐ NO. ARC was poorly funded with a large percentage of the 'brain‐power' in the country being unfunded and therefore not contributing adequately. Current funding for more applied projects was often poor relative to on ground works. Strategic reworking of funding options was needed.
- whether we were leaking skilled people overseas or elsewhere – somewhat but people leaving the field was likely to be more of an issue.
- the value of marine reserves – For functioning marine ecosystems, maintain biodiversity and providing a source of recruits for more disturbed areas.
- whether the public and private sector understood the value of ecosystems well and if dollar values were good. No – this is why public awareness is so critical

Texas Tech Shows How Low They Can Go
I don't think I need to go into how tasteless the shirt is with its blatant endorsement of animal cruelty, but I can't imagine anybody being so dumb. If there is one thing that is going to turn people against you it is the threat of animal cruelty. Look at what happened to Michael Vick, the guy they modeled the shirt after, he was dumped faster than a Hollywood spouse. But, I guess I can't expect much from a school who's great achievements include ramming a goal post into the visitor section and throwing tortillas.
I really hope this epitome of classless lack of taste gets the team so fired up they pound Tech into the dirt on their home field. That would be the sweetest payback. Besides, I am tired of losing in Lubbock.

A little more than a year ago I was driving through the t.u. campus and saw a student wearing a burnt orange t-shirt that said "Saw'em Off." For those who don't know, that phrase is ubiquitous on the Texas A&M campus, where it is a reference to Bevo's -- the Texas mascot's -- horns. I don't know if sawing a cow's horns off would hurt the animal or not, but I suspect it wouldn't be altogether pleasant for the poor beast.
The t-shirt in Austin featured a silhouetted image of Reveille with her legs severed. No matter how painful or how debilitating it might be to cut a cow's horns off, can it really be compared to the cruelty of cutting off a dog's legs? I was stunned and sickened by that t-shirt, and I'm not a big dog lover.
Anyway, it made me think about the whole idea of cutting off an animal's horns. I mean, I suppose we can't really get away from that expression, given the lyrics of The Aggie War Hymn and how cool it is to see the stands sway on a Saturday afternoon at Kyle Field; but it may not be the kindest or classiest thing about our own alma mater.
I don't understand why anyone would tear down their own goal post after a big win. What's the logic? "We've just won a big game... let's vandalize our own facilities!" It's just plain DUMB, and I'm proud to say that during my lifetime it has never happened at Kyle Field. I was there when we beat #1 ranked Oklahoma. That was the biggest win at Kyle Field in the history of our football program, and the goal posts were never once in jeopardy.

[To hear an audio version of this blog, click here:
You all are always asking me to write more about THE EEL -- here's a question about it to shed some more light on the topic.
Q: Kathryn, I think I'm involved with an eel -- as you describe it -- and it's worrying me.
"Joe" and I have been dancing around for about four years. He is super charming and comes on strong. Only to pull away the minute after we talk about getting serious.
I almost feel obsessed with him and no one holds a candle to him, in my opinion.
Should I try to really pin him down and find out? Or should I just hope that the light will come on, he'll realize I'm the One and finally be willing to get serious with me. I feel he's worth the wait.
A: It does sound like an eel situation, I'm afraid to say:
Definition of The Eel: someone who seems in your grasp, but then slithers away just when you thought it was going somewhere, only to reappear again as you give up hope.
Often, the eel is charming and knows how to reel you in just enough that you can't let go.
And just when you're almost over them, they reel you in again.
They can sense when you're finally letting go, which is part of that phenomena of the release work I do.
After four years of your life, he should know if you are the One. That's enough time of your life spent on him.
I'd try one more time and tell him it's now or never. And if he again pulls away, then this time, do anything you can to rid yourself of this attachment/obsession.
Remind yourself of how much happier you'll be when you're in love with somone who can't wait to get a commitment from you.
Your soulmate will be hotter than the eel. And much less frustrating.
The truth is that I rarely meet someone who is dancing with an eel and is actually happy.
For many, dancing with an eel is a great way to remain single. Keeping yourself tied up with someone unavailable ensures you remain unavailable yourself.
I want more for you, and believe me when I say, there's much, much better for you ahead if you can just let go of this frustrating situation.
I'm sending you love & support for getting clarity and moving on.

Fix Missing d3dx9_34.dll Not Found Error
You probably encountered this already. This error showed up on my PC after installing Need for Speed Undercover. This will be my next game since I'm done cheating GTA Chinatown Wars hehe. Basically I don't know what happened on my installation, I just uninstalled the application and re-run it again but unfortunately it always give me this freakin error. Some suggestions said that I might have a corrupt registry and a registry cleaner can do it for me. Boo!
What does d3dx9_34.dll mean?
D3dx9_34.dll errors typically appear when a software program, usually a game, is started. Occasionally, d3dx9_34.dll errors will display after a game is loaded but right before the game starts. In non-game applications, a d3dx9_34.dll error might appear before the program starts or before certain advanced graphics features of the program are used.
Some of the more common d3dx9_34.dll error messages are listed below:
- "D3DX9_34.DLL Not Found"
- "File d3dx9_34.dll not found"
- "The file d3dx9_34.dll is missing"
- "D3DX9_34.DLL is missing. Replace D3DX9_34.DLL and try again."
- "D3dx9_34.dll not found. Reinstalling might help fix this."
- "This application has failed to start because d3dx9_34.dll could not be found!"
So there you go, this error would normally show up if you will be running a game and this might have a relationship with a problematic Microsoft Directx 9 drivers. The fix? Just download d3dx9_34.dll from DLL-files.com and put it on the exact folder where your application was installed. In my case I put it in C:\Program Files\EA Games\Need for Speed Undercover. You can also get that file by clicking on the direct link at the bottom.
Download d3dx9_34.dll here.

Corkulous is now a powerful collaborative tool for groups of people to visually share their ideas using their iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
Orem, UT (PRWEB) November 22, 2011
Appigo, Inc. today announced that Corkulous™, its idea board, is now a "Universal" app available for iPhone and iPod touch users. The update also includes support for Dropbox and iCloud. Introduced last year on the iPad, Corkulous gives users incredible new ways to collect, organize and share their ideas.
"Corkulous is no longer an app for individual use only," said Calvin Gaisford, Appigo's CEO. "Corkulous is now a powerful collaborative tool for groups of people to visually share their ideas using their iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad."
Corkulous is a virtual cork board app for iOS. It provides items such as photos, notes, and labels which can be used to organize ideas onto a large cork board. As a multi-purpose app, Corkulous is used for brainstorming, planning, and anything else commonly used on a real-life cork board.
Document collections, a new feature of Corkulous, gives users three different places to keep their Corkulous documents: on their device, in iCloud, or in a Dropbox folder. These locations are supported simultaneously.
iCloud, a service recently launched by Apple, automatically updates document changes between a user's iOS devices. When a Corkulous document is modified and stored in iCloud, no additional effort is required by the user to access the same document from another device.
Dropbox support in Corkulous makes sharing ideas with other people significantly easier than previous versions of the app. Using a shared Dropbox folder, teams can work together on the same Corkulous documents. Changes are synchronized through Dropbox to other users' devices.
Inspired by Steven Levitan, executive producer of ABC's Modern Family television comedy series, index cards are now included in Corkulous. Index cards are commonly used by screenwriters, such as Levitan, to storyboard ideas for segments of TV shows and movies. Corkulous now includes arrow flags, which can be rotated and attached to other items on a user's cork board document.
Corkulous continues to be Appigo's best rated app on the iTunes App Store.
Pricing & Availability:
Corkulous is available on the iTunes App Store for $4.99 (USD). Corkulous requires iOS 5.0 or later. Corkulous requires an Internet connection when using iCloud and Dropbox which may incur separate fees (contact your Internet Service Provider or cellular data provider for specific details).
iCloud is a service provided by Apple to iOS users which stores Corkulous documents and wirelessly pushes them to a user's iOS devices.
Dropbox is a third party service and currently offers basic accounts free. Dropbox is available at: http://www.dropbox.com/
Media Kit:
A media kit is available on the Appigo Website and includes hi-res app icons and screenshots.
About Appigo:
Appigo develops high quality applications including Todo (powerful task management), Corkulous (ideas at your fingertips), Notebook (notes available everywhere), and AccuFuel (fuel efficiency tracker). With many years of experience in mobile and desktop computing, networking and user interface design, the Appigo team builds enjoyable software. The products created by Appigo quickly gain favorable reviews worldwide. For additional information about Appigo and their products, including full demonstration videos, please visit their website.
