Summer Camp Ch. 02bymoonstormer©
It was mid-August; summer camp would only last one more week. Over the last few weeks, Sarah and I had become inseparable. We snuck into each other's room every night, and shared almost every waking moment together. Even in our sleep, we slept with our limbs entangled, breath mingling as we danced across each other's dreamscape. We hardly talked about camp ending, knowing that it would mean many miles would come between us.
One night, we were engaging in our usual rituals of sexual gratification. On this particular evening, I had already spent a great deal of time caressing, kissing and licking her every curve and fold of flesh, bringing her to climax repeatedly. She was now returning the favor, her lips firmly wrapped around my clit, sucking greedily. Her fingers probed my wet entry, making the pleasure spread through my body, along every nerve. My back arched, hips bucked and body writhed as I was overcome with sensation, my climax wracking my body. When I opened my eyes again, I was startled to see Sarah's bunkmate watching.
Sarah quickly moved up my body, climbing into my embrace, her delicate frame easily sheltered in my protective arms. It was Katie, a short blonde who was a bit older than us. She held her hands up in a gesture of 'no harm' and whispered, "I'm so sorry to bother you guys. I know I shouldn't have watched, but it was just so beautiful. I have always found women so attractive, but always thought it was wrong or dirty... I never knew it could be like this." Her eyes welled up with tears, and Sarah and I reached out to hug her. Katie climbed into the bed with us, burying her face between our breasts as she cried softly, her body shaking.
Sarah stroked Katie's hair softly, comforting and whispering to her. Both of us had secretly been attracted to Katie, but were convinced that she was straight. To find this out was a dream come true, and we wanted to make sure that Katie felt okay about it. We invited her to stay the night in our bed, making her feel safe and secure. She stayed the day, and wouldn't leave our side the following day. During the day, we asked her questions about her sexual discovery, and found out that while she was attracted to women, she had never been with one. My little pixie and I discussed what we wanted to do, and we decided to help Katie along her path of sexual discovery. It was strange for us, because we cared so much about each other, but we also knew that if Katie's first experience was with us, it would be a good one, and she would go back out into the world as a confident sexual being.
That night, Sarah invited Katie back into our bed. We offered ourselves as guides for her sexual exploration, and she immediately jumped at the offer. Sarah began to kiss her, but I could tell that she was impatient and wanted sexual satisfaction as well, and I didn't want her to pressure Katie. I pulled Sarah off her, bringing her close to me. After gently kissing Katie, I asked her if she wanted to watch again, first. Katie nodded, a bit nervous.
I lay on top of Sarah, kissing her deeply as I played with her breasts, enjoying the weight of them. Soon, she was sighing into my mouth, and began to grind her hips against my thigh, wanting more stimulation. I invited Katie to play with Sarah's breasts, toying with the nipples as I kissed my way down my small lover's body. I teased her when I was finally between her legs, licking her thighs gently causing her body to writhe as she craved the touch in her most sensitive place. Then I let my tongue run gently up her slit, circling slowly around her clit before sucking on it gently. Moans escaped her lips as she finally got what she wanted. She bucked her hips against me, and I slowly inserted one and then two fingers inside her. She was already so wet; her warm cunt gave me easy access. I expected her to moan more, but I didn't hear anything from her. When I looked up, I saw Katie kissing her deeply, their tongues probing each other as Katie continued to play with Sarah's soft globes. I kept working Sarah's tender parts, making her moan into Katie's mouth as her climax crashed over her.
As she was recovering, Katie and I started to kiss, letting Sarah catch her breath. Katie was a more delicate kisser than Sarah, nervous but yielding. Her voluptuous lips parted for me, our tongues gently caressing each other. I let my hand wander down her back and over her hip, exploring her curves. It was strange, kissing this other woman over my girlfriend's body, yet it was incredibly exciting. Sarah soon wiggled herself out of bed, going to her nearby food stash to get some drinks for us. This promised to be a busy night, and we needed to stay hydrated. We paused for sips of sprite between kisses, the bubbles tickling our sensitive lips.
Katie lay on the bed, after sitting up to drink, and I resumed my soft kisses. Sarah helped team up on her, fondling her small breasts, kissing those hardening buds. Soon Katie was breathing more heavily, and Sarah slowly began to lick her way down Katie's stomach, playfully sticking her tongue in the indentation of the belly button, before continuing down to between her legs. Katie was clearly reluctant, but her body was decided instead of her mind; her legs spread, allowing Sarah easy access between them. Taking her time, Sarah kissed softly all around Katie's nether region. When she finally slid her tongue between Katie's lower lips, licking up her slit until her tongue found Katie's clit, I felt the shock wave go through Katie's body. I let my hands wander over her body, holding her while also caressing her smooth skin. She kissed me deeper as Sarah brought her more and more pleasure. Soon, all her inhibitions were disappearing, as her hands groped for my breasts, her hips bucking against Sarah's little mouth. When she finally got her orgasm, she broke our kiss, moaning out loud, expressing her overwhelming pleasure.
She didn't want to be left alone though to recover, something that I thought all women except I wanted. Unlike Sarah, she kept kissing me deeply and her hand actually wandered from my left breast, down my body. She slid one finger into my slit, and pulled away from our kiss just to grin and comment on how wet I was. She started sliding her finger inside me, and all of a sudden I felt a mouth against my clit. I looked down to see Sarah there, looking up at me as her tongue worked against my pleasure button. I moaned, and asked Sarah for more. Katie looked at me with surprise, clearly wondering what I meant by more. Her unasked question was soon answered when Sarah pulled a dildo out from under her bed.
Looking back, it wasn't an especially large plastic cock, but for my virgin body, it was huge. Sarah positioned it in front of my juicy entry, and slowly eased it inside me. I groaned and grabbed Katie, kissing her deeply to muffle the sounds of my moans. Soon, Sarah was thrusting it quickly in and out of me, her small body rocking with the motion to have the strength to do it hard enough. Katie roughly grabbed my breasts, toying with my nipples. She broke our kiss so her tongue could instead probe my other wet entry. When her tongue made contact with my clit, I felt like I would explode, full as I was with that fake cock, my clit being licked by a beautiful woman. I looked up into Sarah's eyes as my muscles started to spasm, my body being thrown into the waves of sensation washing over me. She had a strange look on her face, which I would not understand for a long time, but soon she shook it away, leaning over me instead of kiss me deeply.
The three of us fell asleep together that night, our arms and legs entangled. When I woke up the next morning, Katie wasn't in bed with us, had already gone for breakfast. Sarah and I saw her, and while she was grateful for the sexual discovery, she told us that she didn't want to be a third wheel in our relationship; she wanted sexual experimentation without worrying about caring so deeply for someone. We understood, and stayed friendly with her, but were also happy that our partnership had not changed because of the experiences of that night.
The next few days went by faster than I could have imagined, and soon it was time to say goodbye to Sarah, to have miles between us. Her face had been clouded the entire last week, and I assumed it was because of the impending goodbye. She held me close, telling me that she didn't want us to be separated. I knew that the miles between us would be a real obstacle, that I probably would not see her for many months, if not a whole year. It was heartbreaking and we cried, but soon I was driving away in the opposite direction.
Even now, when I think back to her, remember that delicate frame, her pixie smile and that distinct smell she had, I find myself so aroused. I can still remember what it felt like to kiss her, and how I felt like the most important person in the world when she would look up into my eyes. Things are different now, but those memories remain the same.

Corey Ealons's Recent Discussions
Are convention TV cuts a bad idea?
The coverage strategy by the networks is mostly a reflection of diminishing resources in news organizations and the sound bite approach by which most Americans receive their political news.
It may also reflect how extremely close the presidential race is right now with nine in 10 voters in battleground states having already made up their minds. That leaves very few viewers who will tune in to get educated about the candidates and their positions on the issues. This begs the question about the relevance of conventions in this new age of instant information.See more
Can Mitt Romney survive the "Akin plank"?
The coverage strategy by the networks is mostly a reflection of diminishing resources in news organizations and the sound bite approach by which most Americans receive their political news.
It may also reflect how extremely close the presidential race is right now with nine in 10 voters in battleground states having already made up their minds. That leaves very few viewers who will tune in to get educated about the candidates and their positions on the issues. This begs the question about the relevance of conventions in this new age in instant information.
White House too eager on 'Anglo-Saxon' comment?
First, read the London Telegraph story for yourself. It clearly depicts at least two foreign policy advisors to the Romney campaign, despite supposed admonitions from Gov. Romney, providing unfiltered negative comments to a British reporter.
Considering the sensitive nature of U.S. relations with nations throughout the world, this is a very serious matter that should be rectified by outing the two advisors and removing them from the campaign. Similar gaffes by Obama advisors in 2008 concerning our relationship with Canada resulted in the immediate dismissal of that advisor from the campaign. The best way for Romney to disavow the comments is to follow Obama's example.
Secondly, this is the second blunder by the Romney campaign on the first leg of their six day trip where Romney is supposed to be brandishing his foreign policy chops for American voters. British papers are also reporting that Romney insulted British Prime Minister Cameron and London Olympic organizers by saying publicly he didn't think the city is ready to conduct the games beginning this week. Cameron fired back a sharp retort defending the city and Olympic organizers. Is this really the best Romney can do?
So far the trip stands in stark contrast to Obama's European trip in 2008 when he was received warmly by foreign leaders and everyday people alike. This was a pivotal moment for Obama that was so successful that the McCain campaign sought unsuccessfully to cast aspersions on the trip. Obama already leads Romney in polls when voters are asked who they trust more on issues of foreign policy. As it is now, Obama's numbers may actually go up by the time Romney's trip is complete.
Does SCOTUS ruling seal Obama's victory?
This is a tremendous victory for Team Obama today, ratifying his change message and upholding his greatest legislative achievement as the nation's CEO. This is also a great day for Chief Justice John Roberts, who deftly demonstrated his ideological and legal independence today in siding with the majority to uphold the law. Ruling to accept the individual mandate under the federal government's broad taxing power and not the Commerce Clause establishes precedent and allows more than 30 million Americans to take advantage of the law when it is fully implemented in 2014.
Of course the political analysis of who won and lost today will begin immediately, and I don't think we will really know until November. It does mean that progressives now have something to protect knowing that if Gov. Romney enters the Oval Office, conservatives will immediately begin unraveling the healthcare law line by line. Ironically with ACA upheld, we need Obama now more than ever to guard the gate until the law's provisions are available to all. This is not the time for progressives to stand down. This is the time to stand up.

"Through despair and hope. Through faith and love. Till we find our place on the path unwinding in the circle, the circle of life." Even though those are words from "The Lion King," many of the sentiments — despair, hope, faith and love — ring true for a group of Woodbury residents who recently traveled to Tanzania, Africa as part of a mission trip with King of Kings Lutheran Church.
Even though a vote is coming a month late, District 834 is still moving forward with redrawing its boundaries. The boundary proposal had initially been scheduled to be discussed at the April 14 District 834 School Board meeting, but that decision was delayed due to a resolution presented to Stillwater Area Schools requesting a stay of all actions related to the district's Building Opportunities to Learn and Discover (BOLD) proposal, which includes redrawing boundaries and the closure of three elementary schools.
Woodbury High School has once again proven that it has some of the best artists in the Twin Cities. A total of 13 WHS students were selected for the 59th annual Les Farrington's Best 100 Juried Art Exhibition, which is sponsored by the St. Paul Jaycees. The students' artwork, 18 pieces total, were on display at the AZ Gallery in St. Paul last month during the exhibit. "It's a nice honor," WHS art teacher Karen Seashore said.
In front of a packed house, Afton City Council approved a conditional-use permit for a new Islamic center during its April 19 meeting. The Islamic Society of Woodbury-East Metro plans...
It was seven years ago that the East Ridge High School's and Math and Science Academy's FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics teams joined forces — East Ridge had the space and MSA had the experience. "One of the ethos in FIRST is this idea 'coopertition' and nothing exemplifies that more than two teams competing against each other, but using the same shop," East Ridge lead mentor Doug Jensen said. "They make us better, we make them better."
The entire Woodbury community came out to support Feed My Starving Children this past October during the city's mega MobilePack event. The event made Woodbury resident Cheryl Jogger start thinking about what the community could do locally. "The number of people that came out of the event, who all wanted to do something to help these kids who had so little, was overwhelming," Jogger said. "So, the idea kind of translated into what if we could do a similar thing for the kids in our community who don't have what they need."
Education Minnesota has released its top 11 finalists for Minnesota Teacher of the Year. Unfortunately, Woodbury High School biology teacher Kaarin Schumacher is not among them. Schumacher had previously been named one of 34 semi-finalists. However, on April 5 Education Minnesota released names of this year's finalists and Schumacher's name was not among them.
Woodbury has its own multiple sclerosis (MS) advocate in Dawn Tuveson. Since being diagnosed with MS in 2002, Tuveson has dedicated her life to fundraising and advocating for research of MS on both the state and national level. "It really makes a difference to people with MS," she said. Tuveson was recently recognized by the the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for her volunteerism and advocacy by being awarded the Activist Volunteer of the Year Sylvie.
Woodbury and East Ridge High School students will have an opportunity to shine later this month. Both high schools will be holding their proms this month; East Ridge will hold its prom on April 16 at A'bulae in St. Paul and WHS will hold its prom on April 23 at the Landmark Center in St. Paul. "The fun of prom is all the excitement leading up to it," East Ridge prom adviser Bridget Plante said. East Ridge's prom theme this year is "Written in the Stars" and WHS' prom theme is "A Starry Night," so both schools will have a lot of sparkle.
Lake Middle School students will be presenting one juicy musical this weekend. The school's spring musical, "James and the Giant Peach," will open at 7 p.m. Thursday in the school's cafetorium. "Who doesn't love the classic story of 'James and the Giant Peach?'" social studies teacher and play director Francine Verschaetse said. "The kids have all been exposed to this, they've read the book, they've seen the movie, and now they can see it come to life in a theatrical way." The play will run April 14-16.

Kids Birthday Party – Rock Climbing, Games, & Fun
Why Host a Kids Birthday Party At Texas Rock Gym?
Texas Rock Gym is the perfect venue to host a kids birthday party in Houston. Perfect for all ages. We have been hosting kids birthday parties for Houston's youth since 1996. If you're looking for a fun, unique and inexpensive way to celebrate a kids birthday party, you came to the right place!
It would be hard to find a more memorable place to host kids a birthday party with friends and family. We make your child's next birthday something special. Indoor rock climbing is unique and makes any birthday party an adventure they will never forget. All of our packages for kids birthday parties are fun for the kids, and easy on the parents too. We have two packages for your next event listed below. If you need something not included, we're happy to help you find the best way to spend your special day. A kids birthday party at TRG is a cool, unique, way to celebrate all the kids will remember forever.
We can even customize your birthday party with contests and challenges the kids will love. Here's a link to some cool birthday party ideas from Martha Stewart and some more goodie bag ideas for rock climbing themed parties on Pinterest.
Once you are ready to book your kids birthday party give us a call so we can make sure everything is set for your special day.
Pinnacle Party (Our Best Value!)
This birthday party package does it all for you. Completely turn-key. It includes everything but the presents:
- A large party room for up to 2 hours
- Table cloths, cups, plates and napkins
- Your choice of:
- Pizza or turkey wrap sandwiches
- Cupcakes or a decorated sheet cake
- Juice boxes or bottled waters
- Party bags for the little guests
- Texas Rock Gym tee shirt for the birthday child
- Climbing gear
- We hold the ropes and belay for your young climbers
When you host a kids birthday party with Texas Rock Gym, we make sure our new party room is clean and decorated by the time you arrive. It's big enough that you host a kids birthday party for 50 or more kids. Everyone can easily fit in our party room to sing the birthday song. Just make sure your guests arrive on time and then step back and leave the kids to us. We do all the work. Parents are encouraged to stay to cheer on the kids or just visit with other parents in our comfortable lounge area.
We start the climbing session with a short course we call the Climb Safe class. This is a must when we host birthday parties for kids. Everyone gets fitted with climbing gear and then we show them how to climb properly. We provide a hand-on climbing demonstration and cover the important safety tips with the kids.
For the rest of the time, our staff of experienced climbers will belay them in small groups so that every kid that wants to climb gets plenty of time on the walls. They will learn some basic climbing skills and terms, and how to spot the many different climbing routes.
Each child will get plenty of coaching and encouragement. We find that the positive reinforcement and tips from an experienced climber helps them to climb past their personal limitations. Parents are frequently overwhelmed to see what their kids are actually capable of.
When everyone is done climbing, the special birthday girl or boy gets a cool Texas Rock Gym shirt signed by all of their friends. Each guest also gets a fun climbing party favor bag to take home. We know how to host a kids birthday party at Texas Rock Gym!
Once the party is finished, we take care of all the cleanup. You can just go home, relax, and hear all the chatter about the awesome time everyone had.

Climbing shoes and chalk are also available with an extra charge. Although optional they have been known to significantly improve ones skill on the climbing wall. Sticky toes and dry hands, makes good climbers into great ones.
On the Rocks Party
This is our BYOP (bring your own party) way to host a kids birthday party at TRG. It's more affordable because you're actively involved the whole time. If you like to bring your own decorations and refreshments then we will be glad to help carry your cooler and cake from the car. Our large party room is yours for the next two hours to celebrate and open presents.
Once the celebration is over, we start the climbing session with a short course we call the Climb Safe class. Everyone will be taught the basic skills and terms between a belayer (that's the person holding the rope) and a climber.
Any of your adult or teen guests over 14 can belay for your kids. This includes a harness and belay class for an adult for every five kids. Your children will learn to push past personal boundaries with determination. They will be encouraged by friends and encourage them in return, and without texting.
For an extra charge, climbers can rent climbing shoes and chalk bags. These items are completely optional, but they can significantly boost abilities on the climbing wall.

Our kids birthday party packages are pretty popular so please be on time! We book back to back on most weekends so we need to start right on schedule. Having guests arrive on time is essential. We strongly encourage you to encourage them to arrive 15 minutes early.
The Climb Safe class will only be taught once and it is required to participate. We want everyone to know how to be safe when climbing. Late arrivals could be delayed until the next general Climb Safe class is on the schedule. To ensure that everyone can have a good time please do not be late.

"I'am really impressed by the quality of the music getting out from Steyoyoke ! Soul Button is clearly a talented producer… but we don't really mind to not know his / her true identity… as long as he keeps up the good vibes 😉 On this EP, he sure does !"
"With two releases, Berlin-based label Steyoyoke installed itself as a trustful source of good vibes when it comes to House-Music. I'm Fine & Antonio Olivieri took us into an enigmatic House journey with the first release, while Dahu built a bridge between Deep-House, Techno, Minimal and Ambient with his « Deep In The Woods » cold melodies.First introduced to public with his mind-blowing mixtape on Steyoyoke's podcast, anonymous artist Soul Button is now revealing his world with a first EP under this new moniker… and brace yourself House-Music fans, because this one is heavy! Don't forget to check his exclusive mix for Electrocorp …"

"German imprint Steyoyoke are quickly establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Their philosophy is simple, putting the focus back on the music (not the face that made it) and it is certainly working. With two extremely solid releases under their belt already Karl (Artist Manager at Steyoyoke) sent us along their newest release to introduce to you wonderful readers/listeners."

"Starkes release, der track Talking ist einfach großartig!"
"Irgendwie scheinen die Herren von Steyoyoke, bzw. Soul Button in diesem Fall, genau den Nerv der Zeit zu treffen. Schon der erste Track Shadows zeigt die Stärke des Releases, Deep House wie wir alle ihn momentan lieben, dazu eine verzerrte Stimme und ein zauberhaft klingendes Piano Riff, sehr deep und sehr schön. Der zweite Track Shine ist im Feature mit La Phoenix entstanden und zeigt die housige Seite von Soul Button, wie ein Sonnenuntergang am Strand trägt fängt dieser Track einen mit seiner Stimmung …"

"'Shadows' is the title track and my favourite from the new Steyoyoke release, which comes courtesy of the pretty anonymous artist, Soul Button. There seems to be very little information on the producer, but if he carries on making music to this level, he can be as anonymous as he likes. The vocal is absolutely amazing, as is the guitar…"

"Something of a mystery release this one, because Soul Button is, according to the label, "a talented old producer who's really well-known in the house music business but doesn't want to show his identity. He wants to focus on the music rather than his old image." And no, I don't know who it is… for all I know this very credible and now-sounding slab of soulfully-infused tech-house could be the work of, I dunno, Adamski or Guru Josh or someone. Or David Guetta. Brrrr."

"Some skanking tech house on this EP .. 3 tracks & 1 remix that cover all the basses..
Soul Buttons – Shadows is a low slung late night bubbler .. excellent . Infectious grooves dead set for my deep sets.. Next Shine is a vocal driven tune with pounding groove based beats underneath, Again it bubbles along making it DJ friendly for my sets.. Talkin rolls around the sound spectrum .. meandering in and around its beats.. Vocals flirt in and out acting as a late night hook .. Coming with a dub version you have a very impressive EP."

Talking has great depth to the track with lots of good stereo / panning work on the keys which sounds cool. For some reason the dub version of Talking didn't work on the player for me? These two tracks are my favourites on the release and I'll be supporting. Thanks for the release, really great production."

Colorado: 1st-Grade Standards
CO.1. Standard: History
CO.1.1. Concepts and skills students master:
- Describe patterns and chronological order of events of the recent past
Evidence Outcomes
Students can:
- a. Arrange life events in chronological order
- b. Identify the components of a calendar. Topics to include but not limited to days of the week, months, and notable events
- c. Identify past events using a calendar
- d. Use words related to time, sequence, and change
21st-century Skills and Readiness Competencies
Inquiry Questions:
- Why is it important to know the order of events?
- How are current patterns similar to and different from those experienced by people who lived in a community in the past?
Relevance and Application:
- Events are recorded in sequential order to increase understanding, see relationships, understand cause and effect, and organize information. For example, scientists record information about experiments in sequential order so they can replicate them, and law enforcement re-creates timelines to find missing people or solve crimes.
- Groups of individuals use similar tools for the organization of sequential information in order to communicate in a clear manner.
Nature of History:
- Historical thinkers understand the importance of comparing and contrasting in identifying patterns and trends.
- Historical thinkers use chronology to sequence events.
CO.1.2. Concepts and skills students master:
- Family and cultural traditions in the United States in the past

21st-century Skills and Readiness Competencies
Inquiry Questions:
- What are national symbols and their relationship to traditions in the United States?
- What are family and cultural traditions and how have they changed over time?
- How have individuals made a difference in their community?
Relevance and Application:
- The understanding of family and cultural traditions informs decisions and creates knowledge that is used throughout life. For example, Uncle Sam is used by political cartoonists to represent the United States.
- Knowledge of cultural traditions of various groups helps to gain insight, have new experiences, and collaboratively interact with society. For example, bowing is a sign of respect that American businesspersons would use when working in Japan.
Nature of History:
- Historical thinkers understand the importance of comparing and contrasting in identifying patterns and trends.
- Historical thinkers use chronology to sequence events.
CO.2. Standard: Geography
CO.2.1. Concepts and skills students master:
- Geographic tools such as maps and globes represent places
Evidence Outcomes
Students can:

21st-century Skills and Readiness Competencies
Inquiry Questions:
- How would an individual describe how to get somewhere without an address?
- What if we had no geographic tools?
- How could a flat map truly represent a round globe?
- Why do people not carry globes to help find their way?
Relevance and Application:
- People use geographic terms, tools, and technology in work and play to describe and find places. For example, pilots use maps to make flight plans, hikers use compasses to determine directions, and vacationers use maps to find unfamiliar places.
- Individuals create and memorize addresses to help locate places. For example, knowing an address is necessary for an ambulance to find it or for an individual to receive mail.

- How do people celebrate traditions?
- What celebration or tradition would you create?
- How do people use resources in the local community?
- How do individuals in the community use the environment?
Relevance and Application:
- Maps change over time.
- People from various cultures are both similar and different and these differences are reflected in clothing, language, culture influencing social interactions.

- Responsible community members see communities as multi-dimensional entities.
- Responsible community members investigate responsibility as a central part of group membership.

Major News and Events of 02 April 2016
What Happened on 02 April 2016
India talks tough after China shields Wanted Pak-based Terrorist Masood Azhar
Record Car Sales clocked in Financial Year 2015-16
India-US sign MoU to Build LIGO Observatory to make India Central to LIGO Project
Saina Nehwal reaches Semi-finals of Indian Open Super Series
Kolkata Police arrests 3 IVRCL Officials in connection with Flyover Collapse
During a brief intervention at US President Barack Obama hosted dinner at White House, PM Modi reminded the greatest risks associated with nuclear terrorism and the greatest challenges that are cropping up because of the working of "state actors with nuclear traffickers and terrorists". Modi also pointed it out that nuclear terrorism can't be deterred without preventing and prosecuting acts of terrorism. With Chinese President Xi JinPing seated by his side during the dinner party, PM Modi said that terrorism is a global phenomenon and can't be countered until and unless every country act in unison against it.
After China exerted a virtual veto on India's move of putting UN sanctions on Pakistan-based terrorist and chief of Jaish-e-Mohamed (JeM) Masood Azhar, India said that UN sanctions committee's decision of not declaring Masood Azhar terrorist on the basis of just "technical grounds" was "incomprehensible". India also accused the committee of adopting "selective approach" in combating terrorism. MEA's statement pointed out the dangerous consequences India faces for not enlisting Azhar as terrorist, evident from the recent January 2 Pathankot terror attack. China's Permanent Representative Liu Jieyi claimed that Massod doesn't meet UN requirements of being considered as terrorist.
In the last financial year (FY 2015-16), which ended just a couple of days back, car sales increased to 2.78 million units, thereby reporting a 7 per cent growth over the sales figures of last financial year. In 2014-15 financial year, passenger vehicle (utility vehicles, vans, and cars) sales were 2.6 million with a yearly growth of just 3.9 per cent. During just concluded financial year, healthy car sales volume was reported by companies like Maruti Suzuki, Renault, and M&M.
After MoU was signed between US's National Science Foundation and India's department of atomic energy, India is all set to become the central point of the celebrated LIGO Project, which has shot to fame after practically proving Albert Einstein's century-old gravitational waves theory. The agreement was signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's US visit to participate in Nuclear Security Summit. Per the MoU, state-of-the-art gravitational wave observatory will be established in India and the final decision of the site will be decided by April 10.
India's top ranking woman shuttler Saina Nehwal clinched a thriller against World No. 8 Sung Ji Hyun of Korea in India Open Super Series to reach semi-final match. The game, played at New Delhi's Siri Fort stadium, went on for 1 hour and 23 minutes, and the final score was 19-21, 21-14, 21-19. Nehwal will now play against third-seeded Li Xuerui of China. However, P V Sindhu crashed out of the tournament after losing to Bae Yeon Ju of Korea 21-15, 15-21, 15-21.
Death toll at the ghastly Kolkata flyover collapse incident increased to 26. As death-toll rises and foul smell starts coming out from below the rubble, Kolkata Police filed culpable homicide against the overpass construction company IVRCL and arrested 3 employees (who were produced before court today on multiple charges including murder). Opposition parties have upped the ante against TMC government in West Bengal with CPIM seeking time-bound investigation into the tragedy and Congress VP Rahul Gandhi claiming involvement of people close to Trinamool Congress in the construction.

|One, two, three!
I dyed my hair myself for the very first time, normally I get my Mum to do it or a housemate, but as no-one was really here and I dyed my house mates hair for her the night before I thought I could do it. It turned out way better than I expected!
I used Nice 'n' Easy… And it truly was that. It was very easy to do straight onto dry hair. At first I thought it wasn't going to cover my whole head because I've never dyed onto dry hair before, but I ended up having extra so massaged it in everywhere to make doubly sure I didn't miss anywhere. The colour's great too!
I definitely recommend the colour 'dark brown', my hair was fading back to the ginger I had dyed it before, and Nice 'n' Easy covered it so I was very happy with that! It was a bit darker than I was expecting but I guess that's down to the fact that I've not used this brand before and the picture on the box was more accurate than I expected. Added bonus of super soft hair afterwards too! :D

Council tax is a tax set by local authorities to meet their budget requirement. It helps pay for the services provided to the citizens of Bolton.
The Valuation Office Agency is responsible for deciding the band for each property and the band will determine how much council tax you have to pay.
You can see how your council tax bill has been calculated and your outstanding balance. You can also:
» check the payments you have made and when any future payments are due
» set up or amend a direct debit
» view or print your current and previous bills
View your account online
The website is available 24 hours a day and it is updated regularly, so you can see up to date information and check the progress of changes you have told us about. You will need to register but you will only need to do this once.
Annual council tax bills in Bolton are usually issued in March to be paid by 10 monthly instalments from April to January. However, you can ask for your instalments to be spread over 12 months from April to March.
You can also:
» choose to pay weekly, fortnightly, 4 weekly or monthly
» pay by direct debit, standing order, cash, cheque, debit or credit card
If you wish to change how you pay your council tax, complete the online form.

The above precept is to fund adult social care in Bolton. For more information see 2018/19 booklet
If you live in Blackrod, Horwich or Westhoughton then an extra charge will be added to your council tax to pay for services provided by the Town Council. This is called a parish precept and the money collected by the Borough Council is paid over to the Town Council. For more information on this extra charge see the 2018/19 booklet
Find out more about the Town Councils:
» Blackrod Town Council
» Horwich Town Council

Properties are placed into one of eight bands (A-H) depending on their market value on 1st April 1991. The Valuation Office Agency is responsible for deciding the band for each property and the band will determine how much council tax you have to pay.
It's free to challenge or enquire about your council tax band.
You can ask the Valuation Office Agency to check your band if you think your home was valued incorrectly. They will tell you how your council tax band has been worked out and they can review your band if you provide information that suggests it is wrong e.g. evidence that identical properties in your street are in a different band. If they agree your band is wrong, they will amend it and the council will then update your council tax bill.
You can also make a formal challenge to the Valuation Office Agency. However, you can only do this in certain circumstances e.g. if your property has changed significantly since it was valued.
Further information is available at www.voa.gov.uk and www.gov.uk/council-tax-appeals
You must continue to pay your council tax bill while you have a banding review or appeal pending.
You must inform the council tax office, within 21 days of any changes that affect your charge or your right to a discount, reduction or exemption.
If you fail to do this you may be required to pay a penalty of £70.
Report a change in your circumstances
There is no discount on properties that are unoccupied and substantially unfurnished. This means that a full 100% charge will be payable.
When properties have been unoccupied and substantially unfurnished for 2 years then a 50% premium will be payable on top of the full charge. This means that a 150% charge will be payable.
However, the 50% premium should not be charged on any property that:
» would be the sole or main residence of service personnel who are posted away from home; or
» is an annex to a property that is being used as part of the main residence of the main dwelling.
If your property falls into either of these categories, please contact us so that we can cancel any premium that you have been charged.
You can also find more information and advice on how to bring your empty property back into use on the empty residential properties page.
There is no definition of 'substantially unfurnished' within council tax legislation therefore each council has its own criteria regarding what is acceptable. We have taken it to mean sufficient furniture has been removed to leave the property incapable of occupation. As a minimum we would expect the following to be removed:
» beds
» chairs/sofa
» tables
» wardrobes
» cabinets
» televisions
» stereos
» personal effects
We do not class curtains, carpets, fitted white goods (fridges, freezers, and washing machines) or fitted wardrobes as furniture

Release Date: Nov. 27 (limited) Director/Writer: Rebecca MillerCinematographer: Declan Quinn Starring: Alan Arkin, Robin Wright Penn, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Maria Bello, Blake Lively Studio/Run Time: Screen Media Films/98 mins.
This bifurcated plotline is an attempt
to contrast the dullness of Lee's current bourgeois existence with
what she used to be. Lee's husband fell in love with her because
she was such a free spirit, running away from home at a young age to
live with her lesbian aunt, then becoming embroiled in a light S&M
pornography ring and eventually bottoming out as a sometime dancer,
full-time drug addict. It's a somewhat fascinating tale, even
if it suffers from the Forrest Gump-like tendency to reduce life
to no more than a series of highs and lows. It's not a new story,
but it's relatively well-told and frequently engaging despite some
wooden characters and no surprises in sight.
not all of it is from Keanu Reeves.
Pippa Lee's prestige-y attempts
at greater meaning end up killing the movie, keeping it from having
too much fun or pulling out more depth from its characters. At one and a half hours long the movie still feels either horribly incomplete, due
to missing emotional development, or extremely lengthy, due to how little
there is to jump an audience away from what it already assumes. In either case, the only person left surprised as the credits roll and Lee rides off into
the sunset with the man of her dreams is Lee
herself. The rest of us could've left halfway through and told
you that's exactly how the film would end.

Despite the fact that the Occupy Wall Street movement is essentially dead, DC Comics–publisher of Superman and Batman–is launching two new titles that will make heroes of the "99%" and might present the rich as an evil even worse than your average super villain.
One of the new books, to be titled The Movement, is to be about "power–who owns it, who uses it, who suffers from its abuse."
Author Gail Simone says her new comic is based on today's reality "where a single viral video can cost a previously unassailable corporation billions, or can upset the power balance of entire governments."
Simone went on to say, "the sources of that information are so dispersed and nameless, it's nearly impossible to shut it all down."
"The previous generations of superheroes were not created to address this, it's a legitimately new frontier," Simone said, "both for the real world and for storytellers. It's an adventure story, but it really isn't about mad scientists and jewel heists, it's more about the injustices that can affect real people's lives, just tarted up in costumes and superpowers."
DC Comics describes The Movement as follows:
We are faceless. We are limitless. We see all. And we do not forgive.
Who defends the powerless against the GREEDY and the CORRUPT? Who protects the homeless and poverty-stricken from those who would PREY upon them in the DARK OF NIGHT?
When those who are sworn to protect us abuse their power, when toxic government calls down super-human lackeys to force order upon the populace…finally, there is a force, a citizen's army, to push order BACK. Let those who abuse the system know this as well: We have our OWN super humans now. They are not afraid of your badges or Leagues. And they will not be SILENCED.
We are your neighbors. We are your co-workers. And we are your children.
The second biggest comic book publisher in the U.S. is also going "green" with one of its Occupy Wall Street comics to be titled "The Green Team."
It seems that in this title, a group that has unlimited resources and money will come together to use their money to make anything happen. "The Green Team" is about the wealthy and explores what could happen in the DC Comic universe if one had unlimited financial resources. Could you buy power? Could you buy superpowers?
Book author Franco recently said that one of the questions his book will focus on is, "Can money make you happy?"
Co-author Art Baltazar agreed saying, "The real question is: Can money buy you anything in the DC universe? Would it make you powerful? Can it make you a hero? Can money make you…Super?"
The pair of new titles will hit newsstands in May.

We've been stung by the Stathe before. Having set himself up as the unlikely action hero of a generation with slick, 80s-style action flicks like The Transporter and Crank, Jason Statham has proceeded to appear in a chain of utter bilge from The Expendables, to The Mechanic and the woeful Killer Elite. As such, I was dubious about British cop thriller Blitz.
However, a recent weekend afternoon saw me faced with a dilemma. Gort had called New Empress magazine editor Helen Cox under the pretext of a business matter and was proceeding to flirt with her both aggressively and awkwardly. Dare I continue to listen to this cringeworthy exchange or would I give the Stathe another chance? I tentatively inserted the disk, echoing the content of Gort's conversation, and prepared myself to be hurt by Statham one more time...
Based on the novel by Ken Bruen, Blitz starts out with an epic premise: a clever and well-prepared killer, asking to be called Blitzkrieg and styling himself after Sid Vicious, is picking off random police officers in London town in progressively more grizzly and cruel ways. Tasked with stopping him are the Stathe, playing himself, as ever, and his boss, a disgraced, gay but hard-as-nails Paddy Considine. The plot instantly plays a turnaround as the cops become the hunted. Using the Columbo template, both we and the police learn who the killer is early on, but the question is how to catch him in the act.
Once this thread has been tied up, there's not much time to conclude the main story, but the sudden ending is a real fist-in-the-air moment. The resolution may be morally dubious, but you'll still find yourself shouting "have that, you *%€!#;@!" at the screen and really putting off your phone-sexing shipmate.
Blitz doesn't make a lot of sense and misses out on the opportunity to draw out Blitzkrieg's reign of terror, but it's still a fun thriller and an indication that Britain isn't only able to do crime movies from the Cockney gangster perspective.
