We've all done it, haven't we? Sent a picture of our boobs to a man we've never met. Well. Actually. Until Friday night I hadn't, actually. But I'm assured by the results of an informal poll amongst my more slutty friends (Calum) that it's like, a totally normal thing to do.
I was four drinks in. And eyeing-up a 21 year-old at the bar. And thinking inappropriate thoughts that no matter how many times I said to myself this is not real emotion, you are horny because your period is due and you always dry hump table legs when your period is due and just whilst I'm here, addressing this issue, SINGLE LADIES OF THE INTERNET! Does this happen to you, too? The pre-period horn? Because now I don't do casual sex anymore I really don't know how to control those urges and Too Much Information, readers? I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET.
I was drunk. Horny. Aware that I recently got the Tinder app and if I really wanted to, I could arrange a shag within about twenty minutes.
So… I did.
Tinder is basically boy shopping: lots of people look very good in the best picture they've got of themselves, but generally have very dull conversation that either goes along the lines of "DTF?" or "Hi. How are you?" YAWN! I CAN'T ANSWER EITHER QUESTION BECAUSE I FELL ASLEEP I AM SO BORED.
(Actually, there was one magical alchemy of a date with a Tinder boy who shouldn't be reading this, and Hi! If you are, it is without my permission and now you know that I send boob pics to strangers and well. This is why I haven't told you about this website. Knowing all this is all absolutely your own fault, you Google stalker, you.)
I scrolled through the "matches" I had stored, and saw a black and white picture of a cutie who'd been provocative when he messaged last week.
What are you doing tonight? said I.
This is my number, said he.
Now, this is where it all gets a bit censored because I'm already flagged as NSFW on many work servers on account of the fact that I say vagina quite a lot. Long story short: we established that no, I didn't have any other girlfriends who might like to get involved. I've never had a three-way, he said, which d'uh. Nobody has ever had a three-way, not as many as you think, anyway, because your porn is lying to you. You'll have to become a man a different way.
Are you a dom? he said, which FFS. I JUST WANT TO GET MY END AWAY, WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS SO CHUFFIN' COMPLICATED?
And then came the request. Send me a picture.
Well. That's a lot more tricky than you'd think. Rihanna makes it look so easy. It's not. Not if you're over a size 6 and want to maintain any anonymity. And how does one send a dirty photo message anyway? I've always avoided it because one day I will be famous, and I don't want some grainy, drunken picture message I sent ten years ago haunting me in the Daily Mail when I've got kids.
I was bending and contorting in front of the mirror with various lighting effects and angles and poses and all the while I was getting frustrated and a bit tired and suddenly sex with a stranger didn't seem as exciting as a wank and a nap did because: love handles.
I tried putting different filters and contrasts on my tit pic, all the while TERRIFIED I'd accidentally Instagram the image to the world, and in the end plucked for a half boob/half face "artistic" shot that could have been anybody, really.
I ummmmed and ahhhhed for ages about whether I really wanted to send it, and cringed as I did. Your turn, I said, already feeling dirty, but not the good dirty. The so over this dirty that made me feel gross and a bit ashamed.
I got a picture back and urm. I can't talk about it.
I want a full body shot he said, which I knew he would. With my libido mildly piqued by his… throbbing… interest, I obliged. But again, it took me about thirty minutes, sixty-three different photos and a quick Laura-on-Laura pep talk that you are a woman. This is totally fine. You have needs, and you are beautiful, and people do this all the time.
It… it wasn't fine. I freaked out. I freaked out, and then sent the picture, and then realised I was bored, then went to bed, and when I woke up in the morning I got my period and deleted his message and basically I just never want to talk about this again, okay? Okay.

In a way, we are - with our latest investment - dogvacay.com. I'm happy to announce that @FirstRound has lead a seed round in Dogvacay.com - a community where you can have your dogs boarded in real home settings, not caged in a kennel. While I'm not a pet owner (NYC apartments are not that dog friendly), I know many of them - and they all feel guilty whenever they have to put the pet in a kennel.
Aaron Hirschhorn faced this same problem and decided to do something about it. He has created a web site and community where people can sign up to allow dogs to be boarded in their homes, living in a far more friendly environment than the traditional kennel. And the family's that are boarding the dogs get to make new canine friends. It's even possible to board a dog for a weekend and show your kids what it really means to take good care of a pet.
Dog Vacay vets (no pun intended) - (ok it was intended) all pet-sitters to make sure they have the experience and ability to provided a loving temporary home. In addition, DV provides insurance, veterinary support, and a satisfaction guarantee,
What surprised us when we started looking at Aaron's plan in detail was how large a market exists - over $5 billion per year. And we always love coinvestors - in this case Mike Jones' Science Ventures - that have real experience in consumer facing internet companies.
So if you're a pet owner anywhere in the US or Canada , please check out www.dogvacay.com.

Lose your baby belly with our targeted abdominal workout.
Even before your baby bump was visible to the world, you may have worried: Will my abs ever be the same? Genetics, how much weight you gain and the size of your baby all can affect how well your abdominal muscles bounce back after pregnancy, says Michele Olson, Ph.D., professor of exercise science at Auburn University in Montgomery, Ala. So can exercise.
As your belly stretches to accommodate your growing baby, your abdominal muscles become weak and lax. After childbirth, your uterus slowly shrinks back to nearly its pre-pregnancy size. "But your abdominals need to be reconditioned to return to their original strength and length," explains Helene Byrne, founder of BeFit-Mom and author of Bounce Back FAST!: The Post Natal Core Conditioning DVD.
Many new moms make the mistake of jumping right back into crunches and other moves that target the outermost abdominal muscles. But, at this point, these exercises can actually do more harm than good, says Byrne. Instead, you should work on strengthening your pelvic floor and deepest abdominal muscle, the transverse abdominis, which runs horizontally across your abdomen. "To flatten the abs after pregnancy, you must prevent the bulging of the abdominal wall as you exercise," says Byrne. If you start with exercises that target the outermost muscles, the transverse abdominis will not be strong enough to prevent your midsection from bulging outward. Strengthening the underlying muscles also helps repair a diastasis recti, a separation of the rectus abdominis that's common during pregnancy. (See "What Exactly Is a Diastasis?".)
Your abs could be back to normal in as little as six months, though for some women, it can take a year or longer. You'll also have to peel off the pregnancy pounds, preferably with a combo of regular cardio exercise, strength training and a healthy diet, Olson says. Warning: Even after the baby weight is gone, you may be left with some loose, saggy skin. While exercise won't get rid of it, you can still look sexy by strengthening and firming the muscles underneath.
The Moves The following exercises strengthen your deepest abdominal muscle, the transverse abdominis, which (ideally) acts as an internal "girdle," giving your abs a flat appearance. The transverse abdominis also provides stability and strength to your lower back.

Clinical and Legal Correlates of Inmates With Bipolar Disorder at Time of Criminal Arrest

Background: In an effort to determine illness factors associated with criminality among bipolar patients, we identified bipolar arrestees housed in the psychiatric division of the Los Angeles County Jail who had a history of psychiatric treatment in the Los Angeles County community mental health system.
Method: Los Angeles County's computerized management information system was utilized to retrospectively identify all inmates evaluated over a 7-month period from July 1999 to Jan. 2000 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of bipolar I disorder, their symptoms at time of arrest, and the nature of community treatment preceding arrest. Criminal history was assessed using Sheriff's Department legal records. Demographic and clinical characteristics of these inmates were compared with characteristics present in a group of hospitalized bipolar patients without a history of arrest in Los Angeles County.
Results: Of the 66 inmates identified as having a clear diagnosis of bipolar disorder with previous community treatment in the Los Angeles County Mental Health system, the majority were manic (49/66, 74.2%) and psychotic (39/66, 59%) at time of arrest. Manic arrestees were recently released from community inpatient treatment and most were not involved in outpatient treatment postdischarge. The bipolar inmates had significantly higher rates of comorbid substance abuse than did the hospitalized bipolar patients without an arrest history (75.8% [50/66]) vs. 18.5% [10/54]).
Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that manic symptoms place bipolar patients at significant risk for criminal offending and arrest. Intensive treatment intervention by the community mental health and criminal justice system may be needed, particularly in the immediate postmanic hospitalization period, in order to prevent incarceration of patients with bipolar disorder.

I won the inaugural Adrien Abbott Prize for a short story which – beyond the money (always appreciated. writers are rarely paid enough; coffcoff.) – is a boon to my self-esteem. I haven't entered or submitted much in the last 18 months what with moving from country to country so often my friends tell me they can no longer keep track; A generally wonderful, inspirational if in-the-moment unproductive experience.
I appreciate the words of the judge, Kathryn Heyman,
"Winner: Nature Morte
This is a stunning piece of work – well crafted, confident, compelling, moving. In just four pages the writer manages to create a world – two characters, who love each other, who are afraid, but brave – full of subtext, an implied past, an implied future. The dialogue is pacy and sharp, and at times funny. The reveal towards the end of the story is heart-rending and reveals the hand of a masterful writer."
As an emerging writer receiving feedback like this from a respected, published author is manna from Heaven. It's the kind of thing you want to staple to your forehead so you remember this gig isn't all rejection slips and wondering if that MBA wouldn't have been a such bad idea after all.
The constraints of the award make it a less-than story in terms of how I feel about it now. I'd "fail better" if I had another go. It was themed, 'water', which is always tricky and had to be under 750 words so it's microfiction really and that is a thing unto itself. Not something I've written before and not quite poetry but wanting a poetic touch to keep it from seeming too little, too thrown together at the last second and stuffed with whatever's on hand.

ER: Sam Helps A Dying Boy (mF,voy)
by HornyIndian_181
Abbey Lockhart was making her rounds through the ER when she heard some
moaning coming from one of the triage rooms. Curious, Abbey went to check it
out. She gasped, when she saw Sam lying on the triage bed with a boy between
her legs, humping her like an animal.
Abbey couldnt help but notice how well the boy was banging Sam, who was
getting a pretty good fucking. Sam was moaning with each thrust. Abbey stood
and watched in amazement. Sam was a very pretty girl; slim and petite and
with a nice ass. Abbey recognized the patient as Mike, a 16 year old boy with
terminal cancer. He had been and out of hospitals all his life, and the
doctors said it was only a matter of time before the cancer would take his
life. Abbey was glad that Sam could give him some pleasure before he would
leave this earth.
As Abbey watched, she thought of the last time she was fucked, which had been
almost two years since she broke up with Luka. He was a great fuck and knew
all the right moves. Abbey thought of the multiple orgasms she received at
the dick of Luka. She sure missed a hard dick in her pussy. She thought she
could use one right now.
While Abbey was daydreaming about her own shortcomings, she didn't hear Dr.
Corday call her name. "Abbey, could you...what are you looking at?" Dr.
Corday moves to the door where Abbey was standing. "Oh my."
"Yeah, tell me about it, Sam's getting it pretty good," replied Abbey.
"Is that Mike?" asked Corday.
"That'a boy Mike, stick it to her," Dr. Corday said as she watched
mesmerized. "You know, it's been awhile since I've been fucked like that."
Abbey looked at Dr. Corday, and smiled. "Me too...if you only knew."
Both of the women chuckled.
"What...no, I dont believe it. A beautiful woman like you should have no
problem having men stick their meat in you."
Abbey laughed and said, "And the same to you!"
"Yes, well, I'm working on it."
"I bet you are!" shot Abbey.
The women then looked at the sick boy humping Sam like it was his last day on
earth. They could tell he was about to cum, as his pace became frantic, and
then there was a loud moan, as Mike thrusted deeper and deeper into Sam. He
then released a load of spunk into her, as he continued to thrust.
"Oh my, he sure is filling her up!" replied Dr. Corday.
"Yeah, I'm surprised Sam is letting him cum in her pussy without a condom."
Mike gave one last thrust, and laid atop of Sam, exhausted. Both were
breathing hard. After a few minutes, Mike rolled off of Sam, and she got off
the bed to pull her nurse scrubs up from her ankles. She then gave a kiss on
the forehead to Mike and proceeded to the door where Abbey and Dr. Corday
were watching.
"Oh my god..." Sam said, when she reached the door. "He sure fucked the
living daylights out of me!"
"Well, he is going to die," Abbey sarcastically said.
"Hey, I know that, but I just felt sorry for the kid. I just wanted to give
him something that would be worth remembering when he his at the last of his
breath. But I didnt think he would pound me so hard. My pussy is throbbing!"
Dr. Corday laughs. "Wait until the morning."
All three women laugh.
"So why did you allow him to cum in you?" asked Abbey.
"Well, he wanted something of him to live after he died, and so I told him he
could cum inside of me, so that there will be something of him that will be
alive. I didnt think he would drop such a big load though. I can feel his hot
cum move inside of me."
"Yeah we see that," Abbey said, pointing to a wet spot that was showing
through Sam's scrubs near her pussy.
Sam laughed and said she probably ought to go change.
"Well, I probably ought to go back to the emergency room. See you girls
later." Dr. Corday then left.
"I probably ought to get on my rounds; otherwise Kerry will have me on a
silver platter!" Abbey said to Sam.
She begin to walk away and then turned around, right before Sam was walking
into the doctor's lounge. "Hey Sam." Sam looked up. "That was a great thing
you did today."
Sam smiled and said thanks. She the walked inside the door and Abbey
continued her rounds.

On Trend: Oversized Vases Filled with Beautiful Blooms & Branches
When decorating your home it can sometimes be fun to play with scale a little bit. That's why I'm especially excited about a new trend I'm seeing more and more of: oversized vases. Giant flower arrangements (in giant vases) are more than just pretty accents: they can change the feel of an entire room.
An oversized vase filled with ranunculus rests on a chair in an interior by stylist Lina Ostling.
An oversized flower arrangement in a space from House & Garden.
This treatment doesn't just work with flowers: you can also make a big statement with tree branches and other assorted greenery, as seen on Emmas Designblogg.
This space from Dustjacket Attic features an explosion of branches that resembles a small tree.
A cut branch in a vase can be just as dramatic as a floral arrangement (and much, much larger). Spotted on SF Girl by Bay.
Truly huge leaves, and a truly huge vase, create a big, big imact in this bedroom by Tamara Magel.
Magnolias look especially nice in a larger-than-usual vase, as in this interior by Emily Henderson.
If you want to be really daring, try placing an oversized vase on the floor (as seen on Design Sponge).
Here's another floor vase example from The Style Files.
This example, from Susan's San Francisco home, might be my favorite: with all those lovely green things, being inside is almost as good as being out.

Unfortunately BoardBooster can no longer be recommended. Pinterest has requested everyone stop using BoardBooster as it is not an approved scheduler. If you want to schedule pins and join tribes Tailwind is the way to go!
Have you heard the news? Boardbooster is now rolling out Tribes, likely to compete with Tailwind Tribes that are growing in popularity. I'm excited to see what sort of results I get, though it's too early to tell for sure. Here's why I'm jazzed about Boardbooster tribes.
Post contains affiliate links
Boardbooster tribes work like this:
- The creator of the tribe sets the number of pins each member can add to the tribe, you can trade out pins but there is a maximum number you can have at a time, say 15.
- Each member tells Boardbooster which of their boards they want pins from the tribe to go to and how many they want to pin a day, say 3.
- Boardbooster will now do all the work for you! It will select pins that the other tribe members have submitted and automatically pin them to your board each day. Other members are doing the same so they will each be pinning some of your pins each day.
- Analytics: The tribes are new and just getting started so I haven't delved into this too much yet, but they look good. You can see exactly which pins have been shared by the tribe as well as any direct repins resulting from it. (Unfortunately, it shows each time individually. As of now there is no way to see these grouped together)
- I'm excited to report back in a month and see how it's going with the tribes.
Boardbooster is definitely not as flashy as Tailwind but perhaps Tailwind should take note of the features of the Boardbooster Tribes. As of now it seems to have several advantages.
- Advantage BB: I don't have to tell it what to pin everyday. It's nice to be able to promote what you want but sometimes life gets busy and I know Boardbooster will keep moving even if I have to take a day off.
- Advantage BB: My pins will get shared by other Tribe members. I don't have to hope others are on and 1. See my pin before it gets buried by others and 2. Decide that mine is worthy of filling one of their sharing slots. The sharing is all automated in the Boardbooster Tribe so your pins will definitely get shared. There will also be no freeloaders as you can see how many pins each member has set to share and can kick members out if they fail to set up the sharing feature. (Tailwind does have a feature to spot freeloaders as well)
- Advantage TW: With the Tailwind schedule you, and other users that are pinning from the Tribes, can use the scheduler to create time slots that are at the peak time for repinning. With Boardbooster you aren't sure when your pin may be repinned by a Tribe member and it will not always be at an optimal time to be seen.
- Advantage TBD: Analytics are a mixed bag between the two. Tailwind's are easier to read. However, Boardboosters may be more informative. I'll see how I feel once my list of pins that the tribe has pinned grows larger.
- Advantage TW: Tailwind does have a relationship with Pinterest and is an approved scheduler. Other schedulers like BoardBooster are not approved by Pinterest so there's no telling if they will exist long-term or if Pinterest may figure out some way to punish using them in the future. But, the Pinterest algorithm is always changing, so use what you can while you can. For now, I will continue to use both and leverage the best features of each.
Be sure to subscribe to my blog if you want an update next month as to how the Tribes are going. In the meantime get yourself into a tribe! As of now you do not need a paid membership with either Tailwind or Boardbooster in order to join a Tribe.
If you have a blog for moms consider joining my Tailwind Tribe for holiday pins related to kids & family. If you want to check out my Board Booster Tribe for Mom Bloggers, a Tribe for pins about kids & family, email me at email@example.com with your Pinterest url and I will send you an invite. Happy Pinning!

Greenpeace protesters gave web users a bird's eye view of their latest online communications campaign when they used a moblog to capture an effort to shut down a power station in Oxfordshire.
Environmental campaigners stopped the flow of coal into the facility at Didcot before dawn on Thursday, then scaled a 600ft chimney in protest against the use of coal-fired stations.
Group members chained themselves to the top of the tower in order to send pictures and video from the high-wire broadcast outpost directly to the web, treating browsers to several camera phone snaps and video progress updates.
The dispatches were viewed over 5,000 times during the first day of the incursion and the protesters were said to be still occupying their perch Friday morning.
"For campaigns that rely on transmitting messages or information in real time, a moblog gives not only that ability, but also for discourse to take place around that message or action as it's happening," Alfie Dennen of moblog.co.uk, which powers the site, told E-consultancy.
"The discourse using comments is phenomenal, with Didcot residents commenting and discussing this protest alongside moderates and more extreme environmentalists – Greenpeace have created conversation where before there was none."
It is the first time the environmental pressure group has used the moblog since its debut in July, when it chronicled its occupation of London's Admirality Arch in another action.

Clashes erupt in Guinea over election timing
Youths defy protest ban in Guinea, as opposition leaders call for nationwide protests against the timing of elections. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Youths, defying a government ban on demonstrations, clashed with security forces in Guinea's coastal capital Conakry, as opposition leaders called for nationwide protests against the timing of elections. Some erected barricades of logs and burning tires, others threw stones and fired catapults at security forces who were trying to clear them out with tear gas. Residents in Conakry's Koloma neighborhood reported hearing gunfire in the early afternoon as police and gendarmes moved back into areas they had been forced out of. A separate government statement reported protests, some of them authorized, in a handful of places outside Conakry. It said two civilians had been injured but gave no further details. Guinea's presidential election on Oct. 11, announced by the electoral commission in March, broke a 2013 agreement to stage long-delayed local polls first, the opposition says. Analysts say that holding local polls first would give President Alpha Conde's rivals more influence in organizing the presidential election. Opposition figure Mouctar Diallo said police had deployed around the homes of the leading political activists on Monday. Weeks of demonstrations have left at least four people dead and many more injured, according to opposition leaders, who say security forces have fired live rounds during clashes. The government says three have died and rejects accusations that shots have been fired at protesters. Authorities say police officers have been shot at during the demonstrations. The governor of Conakry said the opposition had failed to obtain official permission for Monday's protests.

Nice hull, but the machine gun look a little small I think
Eastern European crisis is a mod telling a story about the future of Europe. In 30's of XXI century, NATO power weakens, European economy deteriotates and ethnic tensions inside such countries as France, Britain and Germany rises. In this situation, Poland and Ukraine become once again one of the biggest economies, because of these countries stability and large deposits of shale gas, which boost their economic abilities.
Nice hull, but the machine gun look a little small I think
Perhaps some lighter vehicles, maybe even truck based would be nice aswell. Just a thought.
It proves that we can not only eat salo and drink gorilka.
Amen to that.
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
So I changed my mind. Because there is already a mod with Ukraine which has BTR-4 and T-84 tanks, this mod will bring another Ukraine, both more realistic and unique.
From now on, Ukrainian troops will use the BMP-64 heavy APC converted from retired T-64 hulls.
Ukrainian tank general will have Assault BMP-64 (BMP-64U) and Ukrainian artillery General will have a tactical reconnaissance version of this vehicle.
On dis render you see BMP-64 upgraded with Active Defense System, which increases Ukrainian vehicles' chance of survival.

ANAAL NATHRAKH - Passion CD
Candlelight Records
Genre: Black Metal/Grindcore
Rating: 4/5
To be totally honest with you, and I'm as honest as the day is long, I thought ANAAL NATHRAKH's last release 2009's In the Constellation of the Black Widow was an uninspired frisbee. It was background industrial noise for the sake of the office cubicle dwelling metal fans whose lives literally suck and look just like the two guys (Dave and Mick) in this band. It was a continuation of the mindless noise this duo had been putting out for quite a while. Yes I know I'm in the minority as far as general opinions about those releases go but it shows that most reviewers are mindless sheep who go along with the herd (aka: the music media) as long as they can still get a good sodomizing. To me their music appreciation abilities and critical thinking is like clicking the "like" button on Facebook. Now don't get me wrong since I have a few ANAAL NATHRAKH releases that I've actually given praise to albeit they are earlier releases. So to my surprise this English duo somehow found their way back to their blackened days of yore and kept their experimenting streak at bay on Passion. Well it makes sense since their early releases were passionate embraces of two genres Black Metal and Grindcore.
Of course opener "Volenti Non Fit Iniuria" had me looking at my wall for a nice spot to fling this dink into. That had more to do with V.I.T.R.O.L. aka: Dave Hunt's clean vocal annoyances then the sounds played by the act's musical mastermind Mark "Irrumator" Kenny. Yes Hunt's clean vocal delivery grates on the senses unless he's sounding hoarse like the screams of a drowning man. Most of the time his harsh vocals are brutally blood curdling as long as he's singing a damm song and not providing a vocal back drop to a proverbial noise fest for the numb skulls with short attention spans. It wasn't until the second cut "Drug-Fucking Abomination", which is like seven and a half minutes of AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED in corpse paint, that I stopped thinking about tossing this dink and enjoying the destructive beauty of it. Passion is a slight step up from their 2004 full length Domine Non Es Dignus which relied on pure speed and blackened harmonies. With the exception of "Drug-Fucking Abomination" most of the cuts on here are short blasts with even shorter grinding interludes. "Le Diabolique Est L'ami Du Simplement Mal" is definitely a standout with it's twisting of blackened atmospheric melody and sheer terror grind with Hunt screaming as if he was being boiled in oil.
Probably their most blackest moments are far behind em and now it's overwhelming brutality all the way. "Paragon Pariah" is a perfect example as if two bands were in one practice space competing for notice. Obviously the Grind elements overwhelm everything dark plus with slash and burn cuts like "Locus of Damnation" along with "Post Traumatic Stress Euphoria" there's no choice but to give in to it. I will say "Who Thinks of the Executioner?", which comes towards the end of the release, is where their past efforts were perfectly recaptured. From that point on everything else was lost in a blur. Overall Passion is much better than anything I've heard from ANAAL NATHRAKH in years. There are times when they fall back on their present characteristic industrial noise approach but that simply keeps the album varied. Since I survived the keyboard like clicking insanity of the trigger drums and Hunt losing his mind like an over worked office cubicle drone on "Tod Huetet Uebel" then maybe all is not lost with my appreciation of this band.

A city court Thursday remanded multi-crore chit fund scam accused Sudipta Sen and his son Subhojit Sen in 14 days' judicial custody in connection with money laundering cases lodged by the Enforcement Directorate.
Judge B N Bhaduri of City Sessions Court here, after hearing lawyers of both the accused and the ED, granted judicial custody of Sudipta and Subhojit till June 12.
Appearing for Subhojit, counsel Naresh Bhalotia prayed for his bail claiming that his name was not in the charge-sheet filed by the ED in connection with the six cases of money laundering.
He also claimed that Subhojit had been in custody for 44 days, but the ED was not questioning him in jail and as such he be enlarged on bail.
ED lawyers Rajib Mukherjee and Abhijit Bhadra opposed the bail prayer and submitted that with a lot of investigation pending, a bail to the accused at this juncture would be harmful to the cases.
Sudipta Sen, Saradha Group chief, however, did not pray for bail in the cases.

You are purchasing lifetime access to Building Foundations: Our Calling for the Younger Years, a 3-part webinar that originally aired in October 2016.
During the course of 3 sessions (each approximately 60 to 80 minutes in length), Allison draws insight from a variety of biblical and theological texts, as well as her own experience as a mother of 4, to encourage mothers of little ones about priorities and callings — in a world that has completely lost its mind as it relates to child-rearing and family culture.
- Why repentance must be the foundation of our homes
- Why discipline ought to be aimed directly at the heart
- Why teaching (joyful) obedience should be the highest priority during the toddler and preschool years
- Dealing with sibling conflicts and difficult personalities
- What to do when we fail as mothers (hint: right back to step 1: repentance!)
- Remember: our children are human beings, not robots
- How training differs from disciplining

Fixture: Northampton Town v Yeovil Town, Sky Bet League Two
Date/time: Saturday, November 28, 3pm
Venue: Sixfields
Forecast: 6C, showers
Outs and doubts: Cobblers: Brendan Moloney (suspended), Paul Corry (knee). Yeovil: Jack Compton (calf), Marc Laird (hamstring), Omar Sowunmi (ankle), Kevin Dawson (pelvis), Simon Gillett (knee)
Betting: Northampton 4/7, draw 3/1, Yeovil 9/2
Form guide: Cobblers WWWWDW, Yeovil LDDDWL
Avg. goals scored/conceded per game: Cobblers 1.6/1.2, Yeovil 1/1.7
Likely line-ups: Northampton (4-2-3-1): Smith; Lelan, Diamond, Cresswell, Buchanan; O'Toole, Byrom; D'Ath, Adams, Potter; Richards. Yeovil (4-4-2): Weale; Roberts, Ward, Lacey, Smith; Fogden, Tozer, Dolan, Cornick; Bird, Zoko
Man in the middle: Cobblers tasted victory the last time James Linington was in charge as they beat Wimbledon 2-0 in November last year. Mr Linington has brandished three reds and 46 yellows in 17 games this campaign. Last season he handed out 10 red cards – the joint most in the Football League.
Last time out: Crawley 1 (Walton) Northampton 2 (Byrom, O'Toole); Yeovil 0 Wycombe 1 (O'Nien)
Most recent meeting: Saturday, March 31, 2009 – Yeovil 1 (Obika) Northampton 0
Record v Yeovil: P11 W3 D4 L4
Opposition view: Paul Sturrock told the club's website: "Hopefully now competition for places will kick-in and we'll get an edge to the team. Northampton are third and haven't been beaten for a while but we've been to Portsmouth and other difficult places and got results so I'm very confident the players will respond.
"I'm optimistic, we've got a fight on our hands so we need to start winning games. I'm not surprised by Northampton's start – I've seen their squad and they've gelled together as a unit well and are winning football games."
Cobblers connection: Former Cobblers favourite Ben Tozer will be back in town this weekend. The versatile defender initially signed for Town on a one month's loan deal, followed by two extensions before finally securing a permanent move to Sixfields in June of 2011. In total, Tozer turned out 199 times for the Cobblers but the arrival of Brendan Moloney plus a knee injury saw his playing time reduced last season before he was released by Chris Wilder. After signing for Yeovil in June, the 25-year-old has made just five appearances this season due to injury.
James Heneghan's preview: For the third game running Northampton will come up against a side who were relegated from League One last season.
And following impressive wins at Notts County and Crawley Town, this Saturday's home game against bottom-of-the-table Yeovil Town should, on paper at least, be the most straightforward.
But football is, of course, rarely that simple and despite all the signs pointing firmly in the direction of a home win, Chris Wilder's side will have to be wary of a team who have earned draws against League One high-fliers Coventry and Gillingham this season.
Nevertheless, it's been a pretty wretched couple of years for the Glovers who seem to be on a permanent downward spiral following their promotion to the second tier of English football for the first time in their history in 2013.
Relegation from the Championship followed the very next year and their 2014/15 campaign wasn't much to shout about either as they finished bottom of League One, 12 points adrift of safety.
And their seemingly never-ending plight has continued into this season. Sitting bottom of the table, without a win in 11, Yeovil are running the very real risk of suffering back-to-back-to-back relegations.
For Northampton, it couldn't be more different.
After months of worry, stress and uncertainty, it's been a week to saviour for Cobblers fans with new executive chairman Kelvin Thomas coming to the rescue.
And now there's a real sense of excitement and optimism around Sixfields, which is quite a transformation from just a week ago when the cub's future was very much in doubt.
Much of that excitement stems from the on-field performances in recent weeks with the Cobblers on a run of just one defeat in 13 League Two games, which has resulted in their best start to a league campaign for almost 30 years.
On top of that, Wilder's side could be sitting top of the League Two come Saturday evening, which would be the perfect end to what has been a memorable week.
As for head-to-head meetings between these two, well they're something of a rarity. Only 11 times have they clashed before, the last coming in 2009 when Jon Obika's late goal sealed a 1-0 home win for the Glovers.
Not only are Yeovil struggling at the wrong of the table, they also have a substantial injury list and could be missing up to six first-team players for this weekend's trip to Sixfields.
Boss Paul Sturrock has boosted his squad this week, though, with the addition of experienced striker Francois Zoko and Tottenham's Christian Maghoma, both on loan.
Cobblers fans could see Ricky Holmes for only the second time this season after Chris Wilder confirmed he will be in the matchday squad this weekend, but the starting XI is likely to be the same one that beat Crawley on Tuesday aside from the absence of the suspended Brendan Moloney, who could be replaced by Josh Lelan.
Buoyed by the takeover and with just one defeat in 13 games, six wins in the last seven and a chance to go top of the table against a team without a league win since mid-September – a run of 11 games – absolutely everything points towards a home win this weekend.
The two sides could barely be coming into this game in more different shape.
But seldom is football so straightforward.
Prediction: Northampton 3 Yeovil 1

text: (Please note, I will have this thread locked the second a flame war starts. This thread will will talk about homosexuality. If you are going to whine about and cause flame wars over this, get out now.)So, a day ago, my friend came out to me as being bisexual, which I wasn't expecting. This got me thinking, about how stupid our society is, that my friend, and many others, are/we're afraid to come out as being themselves, that people are still taught to be afraid of those who are different. My friend thought I would drop them and see them as this weird, worthless person, when I really saw the same person I met months ago, just a little different. I also think that schools don't do enough to cover this topic. Both of us go to a public middle school, going into highschool next year, so there is no way that if someone else finds out, that my friend would be left alone about it. I see no problem with this, as it hurts no one. Sure, you might say, "Well if they adopt a kid, they could be made fun of for having same-sex parents." Well, that is true, but that could be fixed, if same sex marriage was legal. I say this because then, it would be more mainstream, and people would be more open, because they would be around them more. I support my friend 100%, they are still the same, great and wonderful person I knew before I knew this. That is all I have to say.

Music teacher to run Irish Elders Culture
The Irish Elderly Advice Network has appointed an experienced music teacher as the new head of the Irish Elders Culture Office.
Kathy Gentles, who holds a Music degree and a Masters in Music Education, hopes to build on the work already completed by the Culture Office, which opened in 2014.
She has plans to begin offering classes in Art and Art History, to be delivered by the Artist in Residence, Bernard Canavan, and movement and Dance classes with an Irish twist to be led by Molly Wright. The purpose of the Irish Elders Culture Office is to help people realise any ambitions with regards to an individual or group arts or culture based project.
Previous successes have included the London-wide community tour of the play 'A Nun's Chorus' and concerts by the Dubliners Sean Cannon and his son, James.
There have also been performances by the Irish Pensioners Choir, culture and heritage trips to Ireland and, most recently, the creation of a film documenting the reflections of older Irish emigrants on 1916 and their thoughts on what it means to be Irish.
The Irish Elders Culture Office, which is based in Haringey Irish Centre, receives funding from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Kathy expressed her gratitude to the Department as well as to all other donors.

More from the feature on whisky bloggers from around the world this time we travel back to sunny Durham and chat to Danny Williamson.
I've been chatting with Danny from Dramstats via Twitter for a few months and we seem to get along great. I really enjoyed reading Danny's answers and hope you do too.
Why did you start your Whisky website?
There were two reasons really. I'd been into whisky for about 5 years, getting up to a few distilleries every year and buying some really great drams, but had no record of anywhere I'd been or anything I'd tasted. Every time I'd finish a bottle I kept thinking "I wonder if I'll ever taste that again" and "I should keep records". I then bought a glass of an oldish Ardbeg in a bar in Glasgow, I can't even remember how old it was, only that it cost about £30. The next morning, I couldn't remember what it was like or whether it was worth it. I was so angry with myself for wasting the experience and resolved to start a whisky blog and make sure I keep records of my whisky experiences.
The reason for opting for a blog rather than a private journal was that I felt like I had something to say. I buy a lot of whisky and although I've hardly ever bought a bottle of whisky I didn't like, I've bought plenty where I was disappointed relative to the money I'd spent. I've also bought whisky that was brilliant relative to the price and really surprised me. As a whisky fan on a budget, I've always sought reviews that discuss value for money when looking to buy something new. Reviews of this type are not always easy to find. As Jim Murray says, prices vary from country to country and value is quite a personal judgement, so there are, perhaps, good reasons for this. Nevertheless, I think a blog can be a good medium to vent your opinions and, having spent a lot of money on a bottle of whisky, I always have an opinion on whether that money was well spent. So I figured that if I was on the look out for this type of opinion, maybe other people were and maybe they'd be interested to read mine.
What is your earliest Whisky Memory?
I was about 13 and we had a friend of the family staying who always drank Grants. My Dad never drank whisky so I'd never really thought about it before, but here was this man and it was his favourite drink. So, given that I really liked beer, I asked him for a taste. Well, to understand my reaction you really need to watch the youtube videos of people tasting the Master of Malt 250,000 Scovilles Naga Chilli Vodka! I really did react like I'd eaten raw chilli! It burned the mouth and all the way down and I thought it was the nastiest thing I'd ever tasted. Funny Grants is a blend I always keep around now.
In no particular order what 3 Whiskies would you recommend to someone new to whisky?
First, try a Bourbon. No better way of understanding Vanillins and the bourbon cask influence on Scotch. Lots of good, inexpensive choices in the UK, but I'd go for Bulleit which I really like.
Next, something rich and fruity but with vanilla. A good value sherried whisky is the Sheep Dip Amoroso Oloroso but it's getting increasingly difficult to get hold of. If you can't get that, Glendronach 12 or 15 year old (depending on your budget) are excellent.
Next something peaty from Islay. You really can't go wrong with Lagavulin 16 with it's rich sweetness and huge peat to follow the second.
Money no object, what Whisky would you love to own and open?
Wow. So many over 30 year olds I want to try. If just one probably the Black Bowmore which is the first super-premium I heard of. Everything about the flavour profile makes me desperate to try it. In another life perhaps? :)
Would you have any tips for other Whisky drinkers?
Two tips: First, trust your own nose and palate above anyone else's opinions and reviews. Whisky is, after all, just a drink. Smell is a personal experience. Taste is a personal experience. So only you know what your whisky smells like and what it tastes like. Find what you like to drink and enjoy it. Second, good blended whisky is amazing and every bit as good as good single malt. Don't neglect to try as much of it as you can else you'll be missing out!
Why should people visit your website?
Because it's the best whisky blog ever writt... Ha ha only joking! If opinions on value for money for reviewed whisky, quality of experience on distillery visits, and other whisky related things interest you, then come and read mine! If you are interested to see what was in the whisky advent calendar, I'm also doing a series on that. I am NOT an expert on whisky, nor am I a connoisseur. I'm just another whisky drinker on a budget who happens to post his views online.
Many thanks to Danny and please remember to go visit the website at Dramstats

Resellers of IP telephony outfit, ShoreTel, have gained access to a list of certified and compatible third-party software and hardware via a new technology partner program.
ShoreTel South East Asia managing director, Tony Warhurst, said the overseas program had created a list of technology partners with complementary products.
"A lot of resellers don't have the resources or time to do integration testing," he said. "Now they will be able to get in touch with us and ask what's compatible and we can tell them a certified match."
Warhurst said a regularly updated list of compatible hardware and software would also be made available through its local partner portal.
"If they want to see which product will do a particular thing, or who's current, the site will update it in real-time," he said.
Vendors seeking program membership need to have interoperability testing carried out by ShoreTel's overseas test lab. Warhurst said he was already talking to Australian software makers about testing.

In the Cellar | Bill and Chris | The Team
In the Cellar
In the Cellar, Bill and Chris trust each wine to come into its own with as little intervention as possible. The red wine program is centered around the pre-industrial method of open air fermentation whenever possible. Daily punchdowns by hand allow for the most delicate maceration process during fermentation. Once each allotment of wine has been barreled, they practice minimal handling, many wines taking on increasing complexity and depth for years to come. Still wine is racked with the goal of minimum air contact over a 12-18 month barrel program consisting of high-quality French, American and Eastern European oak. First to third-year barrels, with varying levels of toast, are matched to the needs of each lot.
Based on years of dedication to growing many varietals throughout the state of Texas, Bill and Chris understand the role played by blending. More and more, Texas is becoming known for unique and compelling blends as certain varietals demonstrate their character in different vineyards, under particular management techniques. Bill and Chris meticulously blend with each varietal's strengths in mind in order to achieve wines that are both balanced and that emphasize the flavors that are unique to the vineyards in which they are grown. In this way, Bill and Chris work to create wines that are authentic expressions of each particular vintage and that truly represent the best of Texas.

Some time back I was offered Natoora's Spring Box for review.
(I know this post is a little late, given that the box arrived in late May, but it took us a little time to use the contents and also coincided with a really busy period for me, food blogging wise, with lots and lots and lots of restaurant reviews, events, cookery book reviews and more to write and post!)
I have to say that we were genuinely shocked when the box arrived. We really couldn't believe the huge volume of packaging for the small selection of fruit and vegetables inside! I knew they would be using a courier for delivery, rather than their own distribution network, as we fall outside the area they currently cover themselves. But still, we were taken aback. I went back to Natoora and asked them about it as we do try to reduce the amount of waste we produce, as a household.
They replied:
For London deliveries where we use our own drivers and vans and have more control we use simple brown paper bags. For deliveries by courier as you rightly presumed, we need to protect the produce more. We have tried to reach a middle ground between being able to keep the products fresh and intact whilst in transit and using the minimum amount of packaging. The components of the inflated liner and the ice packs make sure that the produce is kept fresh. The liner can be deflated and put in the bin and the cardboard box recycled. We decided on the liner because…
- In production just 4% of the raw materials are required for the liner versus the equivalent Styrofoam packaging that would be needed to send your order
- Before inflating the freight and warehouse space required for the liner is just 10% of that required for Styrofoam
- Landfill is significantly reduced
Well, OK.
But I'm still keener on the packaging used by some of their competitors. For example, Abel and Cole use (much smaller) cardboard boxes for their fruit and veg (and styrofoam boxes for meat, fish and dairy) but, more importantly, they encourage customers to return boxes from previous deliveries to their delivery drivers when they drop off the next box, and they re-use the packaging as many times as possible before it disintegrates. Whilst I can see that their styrofoam boxes require more initial warehouse space, I also like how they are used many times, before being relegated to waste.
Being economical (both financially and environmentally) about waste doesn't just refer to reducing the volume and ensuring the materials are recyclable – it also means making the best use of packaging and insulation in the first place, before discarding it as rubbish.
Anyway, on to the contents of the selection box. I found them a little variable.
- The strawberries and potatoes were excellent. Proper, wonderfully flavoursome strawberries, the very best of what this fruit can be. Decent, fresh and tasty new potatoes too.
- The tomatoes ripened well on the windowsill and they too were then a good example of this quintessential salad fruit.
- Many of the pea pods contained grossly underdeveloped peas, which meant that the overall volume, once the entire bag was podded, was a very small serving indeed. But those we had were good enough.
- The asparagus was disappointingly woody, though apparently other reviewers sent boxes within the same 2-3 week period enjoyed theirs much more.
- The loquat were somewhat battered but I enjoyed them, having never tasted this fruit before.
- I passed the green leaves on to my mum, as we were running out of time to eat them, before they were past their best.
- I'm afraid I had no idea what the sticky stalked greens were as there was no information included within the box whatsoever. Natoora responded that most customers would already have read the full list of contents on the website before buying, but I still think a single sheet listing the contents would be useful. Apparently the sticky green things were bruscandoli (wild hops).
Whilst the spring box is no longer available, Natoora are offering a fruit box, a vegetable box and a mixed fruit and veg box. If you're a Londoner, in the area they currently deliver to themselves, it may be worth giving them a go – if you do, please let me know how you get on both in terms of quality of produce and volume of packaging!

A teenage drug courier who had been ordered to stay out of Lancashire was spotted in the county when he came to transport cannabis from Lancaster to Preston.
Darren James Nield, 19, from Lancaster, has now been jailed for 30 months after admitting returning to the county to deal drugs.
Officers found him with £240 of heroin and crack cocaine stashed inside his long Johns when they raided a flat in Lancaster in August last year.
He admitted he was selling drugs and was granted bail on the condition he resided outside of Lancashire.
But three months later he was spotted running away from a VW Golf and throwing a box containing five large bags of cannabis, with a total weight of 168g to the floor.
Nield was arrested and admitted he was in debt to drug dealers and had agreed to take the cannabis to Preston.
Richard English, defending, said Nield had started offending after his long term relationship "imploded spectacularly."
The defendant committed the offences while he was subject to a community order for attacking her. Mr English said: "His mother says the first thing she will do when she sees him is give him a clout and tell him this has to stop.
"This was motivated by money. You can understand how this can come about – a young man who is not in employment and not in good health.
"He sees other people who are in this trade who are doing very well.
"He accepts he has to go to prison. With his health difficulties and all that prison has to offer he is in a salutory position."
Recorder Anna Vigers, sentencing, said: "You are only 19 years old and yet you find yourself in very serious trouble because you chose, for what I accept is a limited period last summer, to involve yourself in dealing class A drugs. The reason that it is extremely serious is that class A drugs kill people and they cause enormous amounts of misery not just to the people who use them but to everyone who is affected by that trade.
"People whose homes are burgled or people whose shops are stolen from by people who want to buy drugs from people like you."
She jailed Nield, now of Wellington Street, Garston, for 28 months for possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine with a further two months for possession with intent to supply cannabis.

The Sky King ain't afraid. Not even when he's fighting giant, blue, faceless gorillas in Wonderland.
Six new heroes will come jump into the fray, of which I was shown two in yesterday's demo. The first was Sky King, whose closest analogue in popular culture would be The Rocketeer. He's an ex Hollywood star with a patriotic streak, who somehow managed to rig his prop rocket suit to actually work. His powers include flying around, and blasting things with real-life guns. Nothing too fantastical, really, but he certainly looked the part, I guess. The other new hero that Irrational revealed was called Quetzalcoatl, a 10-year old boy who, by means of a powerful artifact, becomes possessed by the power Aztec deity of the same name. He's dressed resplendently in what I'm assuming is the garb of Aztec royalty, and bears the physique of a man much older than 10. Among his more interesting powers are one in which he causes a spectral serpent to coil around an unfortunate enemy, and constrict the juices out of body. Presumably, both of these new heroes will have cool origin sequences when they first join the Freedom Force team, but sadly, we weren't any of them.
Fans of urban demolishment, rejoice: Freedom Force Vs. The Third Reich will feature substantial improvements in this area over the original. Pretty much everything you see in the environments is open game to be uprooted and swung, or lifted and heaved in the direction of enemies. The "physics" behind all this has been tweaked, so that the chain reactions that occur as a result will be more convincing. This is especially evident in the way that buildings react to all this. Toss a mailbox at a group of enemies backed up against a the wall of a structure, for instance, and not only will you inflict much harm upon their persons, but the surface of the building will crackle and shatter. Beat the crap out of it enough, and it'll crumble, with bits of debris raining down on all unfortunate enough to be standing under its wake.

I am writing this at an outside table at Starbucks which is located near my apartment in Novena. I have been forced to temporarily leave my abode while fumigators spray poisonous concoctions to rid my apartment of cockroaches. I do not have an infestation of these nasty little insects however I have seen a couple in recent weeks and I lodged a complaint with my building manager Mr. Tan.
I was not expecting such a prompt response to my complaint from Building Management. When I arrived home this evening and was walking to the lift lobby Mr. Tan rushed up to me. He was as usual accompanied by one of the dopey and surly security guards.
I heard Mr. Tan before I saw him.
He yelled, "Mr. Peter. Mr. Peter the cockroach men are here"
I jumped a little in surprise at the sound of Mr. Tan's voice. I was not expecting to see him and he appeared suddenly.
"The cockroach men Mr. Tan?" I enquired
"They are here to poison the dirty insects in your apartment"
"Now Mr. Peter"
"This is not particularly convenient Mr. Tan" I advised.
It was 7.00pm on Monday evening and I had planned on just plonking myself on my couch and watching some television. I have had a relatively long and full day at the office battling and bantering with the English for whom I work.
The cockroach problem that I had related to Building Management a few days earlier was grossly exaggerated. I had used it in an effort to deflect attention from the issue of the flying of my Tibetan Prayer flags on my verandah. Building management have asked me to remove these flags following a complaint that was lodged by my insane Danish neighbor Jens. I wrote about this a couple of days ago and I am not going to repeat the saga again here.
The security guard who was accompanying Mr. Tan was standing behind him during this conservation and I noticed a little smirk appear on his face when I mentioned the inconvenience. I am at war with the security guards of my complex. We have had a number of confrontations since the forbidden fruits episode last Chinese New Year. I exact my revenge on them daily by rapping on the security room window whenever I depart or arrive from the condominium building. They are always asleep and I wake them up.
"You will fumigate this cockroach too?" I asked Mr. Tan - nodding to the security guard.
Mr. Tan looked puzzled and the security guard looked panicked. It was a bit of a rude comment to make but I was a tad annoyed by his smirk and the fact that that my quiet evening at home was to be interrupted.
"The cockroach men are here now Mr. Peter" Mr. Tan repeated.
"May we let them into your apartment?' he asked.
"I guess so Mr. Tan" I sighed.
"How long will this take to do?"
"It will only take twenty minutes" Mr. Tan advised.
"However you must not enter your apartment for two hours after they have sprayed"
"Two hours?"
"Two hours Mr. Peter. The spray they use is very poisonous and if you breathe it in you will become most sick"
"I don't want that" I responded.
"Let me go up and get changed and then we can start. Can?"
"Can" Mr. Tan responded.
About ten minutes later there was a knock on my door and when I opened it there were two men dressed in full-on chemical warfare suits and wearing respirators on their faces. They were carrying big bottles of chemicals with spray nozzles attached. I let them in and asked them how toxic was the poison that they were going to use. One of the guys took off his respirator and informed me that it was very toxic.
He told me that the cockroach is a very hardy insect and they can survive for up to a month without eating at all. He also told me that cockroaches can survive without air for up to an hour and can recover completely after being submerged in water for half an hour. He informed me that experiments had been done to prove this. The cockroach man also told me that it is believed that cockroaches might in fact inherit the earth if there was ever a nuclear holocaust. The Fumigator said that cockroaches had a radiation resistance that was fifteen times higher than we human beings.
I learned quite a few interesting facts about cockroaches this evening.
I then left them to it.
On the way out I saw Mr. Tan and the security guard lingering in the lift lobby area and I suspect that they were waiting there for me. I informed Mr. Tan that I would return in two and a half hours and that I would like the security guard to enter my apartment before me and to sit there for five minutes to determine whether the air was still poisoned and dangerous.
I told Mr. Tan that if the security guard choked to death then I would give it another half an hour before I re-entered. I feel some shame that the Security guard looked terrified and that he visibly winced with anxiety at this suggestion but Mr. Tan nodded his agreement.
I then laughed and told them that I was not being serious.
The security guard looked greatly relieved so I told him that I only wanted him to sit in my apartment for two minutes to see if it was safe. He winced again and I gave him an evil chuckle as I rode away on my bicycle.
So here I am at Starbucks. I have had a very nice bowl of Ramen for my dinner and I am now sipping on a double shot vanilla latte whilst I am writing this. I am waiting for the cockroach poison to dissipate. An hour and a half has passed since the fumigation commenced so I have at least another hour to go before it is safe to return home.
There are apparently about thirty different species of cockroaches in the world and the tropical cockroaches of Asia are the biggest.
The word cockroach is derived from the Spanish word cucaracha. There is quite a famous Mexican song called "La Cucaracha" which is all about a cockroach that has lost one of it's six legs and can no longer walk properly. The song was written and became popular during the Mexican Revolution. This revolution commenced in 1910 and went on for ten bloody years. It was basically a civil war. Whilst the lyrics of "La Cucaracha" might seem a bit silly it is politically symbolic.
It is a revolutionary song.
I have had a pause in my writing whilst I had an enjoyable conversation with an English tourist who sat at the table next to me at Starbucks. He initiated the conversation by asking me if the bicycle that I had parked next to my table was mine. I told him that it was. I could tell that the English tourist was a Northerner from his distinctive accent so I gave him an "Ay oop" and he seemed genuinely delighted at this and gave me an "Ay oop" straight back.
"Ay oop" is a distinctive Northern English greeting that means 'hello'. I have a Barclays bicycle and it is the only one in existence outside of the city of London. I have described how I acquired this bicycle in a previous piece that I wrote entitled "The Bank Bicycle". It was acquired quite legally and legitimately.
The English in Singapore often ask me if the Barclay's bicycle program also operates here on the island and I mostly tell them that it does not. However I sometimes tell the odd English tourist that it does and I send them off on a wild goose chase. My response depends on the mood that I am in and how annoying I find the English who ask this question of me.
The Northerner asked me how I acquired the Barclays bicycle and I told him that I had stolen it from London. Let me emphasise again that I acquired this bicycle both legally and legitimately and I just felt like telling the Northerner a bit of a tall story. I do this sometimes.
I spontaneously lie.
He seemed quite impressed at the fact that I had stolen a Barclays bicycle and I spun him an elaborate tale of how I had cut up the bike and posted it piece by piece back to my house in Singapore. I have no idea why I spontaneously concocted such a story but it entertained the both of us for quite a while.
I asked the Northerner if he wanted to take the bike for a bit of a ride but he declined. I was secretly relieved at his declination as he was a big fat lad and he may have bent the frame. As he left Starbucks the Northerner told me that he was off to meet up with some of his Northerner mates and that they were going out on a drinking frenzy. This did not surprise me in the least as the Northerners who I know here in Singapore are vast consumers of alcohol.
They are drinking machines.
I gave him a loud "Ay oop" as he left Starbucks which he returned with gusto.
"Ay oop" may also be used to say farewell.
I shall return now to my hopefully cockroach-free apartment where I pray that I will not be poisoned by residual toxins. As I ride my bicycle back into the complex I will rap loudly on the window of the security guard's room at the gatehouse.
I will awaken the sleeping guard.
