We all want a healthy-looking skin. Who doesn't? We seek for the right beauty or skincare products whenever we get the chance. However, once we're out there, we just don't know which one to pick. There's jus too many of them! From foam, soap, powder, gel, to oil cleansers, they all promise one thing — cleansed, clear, and supple skin. But do they actually deliver?
When it comes to some things, I only ever get too excited when A) there's a massive sale on and items are going down from £5 under! or<B) I just managed to come across a huge discount online or I can get some cash back after my shopping and C) when I find a product that really, really works for me! A product that I'm more than willing to invest in even if it's a little bit over my preferred quota!
And that's the type of product we're going to talk about in this post. Suti Cleanse Balm.
Suti, part of my well-loved brands/products, is a unique British skincare brand that carries a range of luxurious organic products with beautifully blended high quality ingredients, that will nourish, energise and cocoon your skin from harmful irritants.
• Suti Cleanse Balm 50ml : £26.00 • Muslin cloth • spatula (stick?) •
It comes in this simple, yet wonderfully designed packaging, along with a handy muslin cloth. An unbleached organic 100% muslin cloth — made in the UK — and has been certified by the Soil Association. But is it worth the price? Keep reading, you'll soon find out. 😉
And of course, Suzannah & Tina are fully aware that us girlies hate to 'dip' our fingers in the jar! Hence, they've got us covered with this teeny weeny spatula, or stick (?) Well, it's better than nothing.
The unscrew lid is not as fiddly as I thought and it compliments very well with Suti's logo or design with that metallic-type finish. Something you can be proud of displaying in the bathroom!
This cleansing balm is something you will start to look forward to, day and night, when you go through your beauty regime.
A wonderful treat to a tired skin that needs uplifting after a long, stressful day. The beautifully formulated ingredients and citrus-y aroma will greet you, enough to wake your senses up, while at the same time drawing out impurities, to give you a clear and refreshed looking skin. Sounds wonderful?
And a little goes a long way with this 50 ml jar!
The grainy particles are the unrefined Shea Butter — that melts when in contact with your skin — used as part of the ingredients that helps to intensively nourish your skin.
My skin type is Combination/Oily with greasy T-zone at times, dry patches and dark spots from previous breakouts. And this has certainly improved my skin appearance and rescue me from breaking out many times due to sleeping late.
Did my skin feel greasy after? Surprisingly, no! Just a fully revived and moisturized face that feels soft to touch.
And when my other half made a comment that my skin definitely looks better, I knew I was doing something right!
[box type="info" align="aligncenter" ]Ingredients: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Seed Butter, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil*, Cera Alba (Unrefined Beeswax)*, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Limonene**, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract*, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil*, Citrus Reticula (Mandarin) Oil*, Tocopherol, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil*, Pelargonium X Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil*, Linalool**, Geraniol**, Citronellol**[/box]
* Certified Organic ** Naturally occurring in essential oils
"Blended Apricot Kernel, Sunflower and Shea Butter to intensively nourish, protect and help slough dead skin cells; Avocado to soothe, nourish and revitalise skin, Olive Oil to help soothe and calm inflammation and Calendula to help heal and tighten up the pores, Cleanse Facial Cleanser will leave the skin tingling and refreshed, purified and pampered."
Why would you love Suti Cleanse Balm even more?
Because now you can skip an extra step from your routine! And who doesn't want a straightforward skincare routine??
For a busy Mom and make up minimalist like myself, I want something straightforward, but effective. So having a product that would take off our my make up as well as cleanse and moisturize* our skin, is something worth our precious time, don't you think?
Let's put this balm to a test to see if it deserves our standing ovation as a 3 in 1 product, shall we?
What's used:
• Victoria Secret's Foundation in Light (my foundation before I discovered BB cream) • Rosee Waterproof Mascara • CoverGirl Liquid Eyeliner • Etude House Eyebrow Pencil •
I let all these cosmetics settled in my skin before applying the balm cleanser, to test whether it's enough to take it off, or not.
And the result?
Although the first frame does not look quite promising, with the help of this wet (hand hot water) muslin cloth (of which by the way now needs washing), one or two swipes and the make up all came off, like magic!
In my opinion, Suti Cleanse Balm is worth every penny!
How do you feel about Suti's Cleanse Balm? Would you like to try this product? Share your 'Holy Grail' product/s.
A big Thank You to Tina at Suti for kindly giving me the opportunity to share this product to everyone here.
*As a moisturizer, in my opinion, it would work for those with Combination to Normal to Dry skin. Although for Very Dry or Trouble skin, you might another product to keep your skin fully hydrated.

Thank you for such a detailed post. This has helped me so much. I have been thinking of getting the Suti cleanser or not, but judging from your review, you have had such a nice experience from it.
I have used balm/butter cleanser in the past such as coconut oil alone and I really enjoy it. I like the process of watching it melt and really clean my make up, it's astonishing how such a natural product can do that! (and yet consumers still buy non-natural ones that are really expensive).
D @ Sweetjellybean.comNovember 13, 2012 asti
Hello! Thanks for dropping by and leaving such a wonderful comment! Suti is definitely a brand not to miss. I'm running out of my cleanser and due to buy another jar :). It's so perfect for sensitive skin as well. I've been meaning to try more balm cleanser but just never saw ones that caught my attention. 🙂
I know what you mean, others still go for very expensive ones even though they're all packed with nasty chemicals. I'm so glad that there's now a wide variety of natural products out there though. Do let me know how you get on with Suti 🙂 xx D

The Giraffe's HatSeptember 21, 2012
Wow that looks so good! I'm glad you only need a little too, it makes the price more acceptable! I don't actually have a holy grail product yet, I just haven't found anything quite perfect yet. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places!
Donah @ Sweetjellybean.comSeptember 21, 2012 The Giraffe's Hat
I was definitely skeptical at first when I came across this product, since there's a lot of these luxurious products out there with a hefty price tag, but more or less, you're paying for the name only. So this was definitely a sweet surprise when my skin reacted very well.
P.S. (Sent your samples ;-))
The Giraffe's HatSeptember 21, 2012 Donah @ Sweetjellybean.com
I've shown my partner and she thinks it looks great to, so at least we will both benefit from it! So technically it would only be £13 since its shared…. 😉 I was surprised when I found out they were a UK company, I've never heard of them! We've decided we'd like to try it, so as soon as we have some money we're getting some 🙂 Your blog keeps making me want to spend money! :p
Oooh yay I can't wait until they arrive!! Thank you!! x
Donah @ Sweetjellybean.comSeptember 21, 2012 The Giraffe's Hat
Ohh, I'm glad you both like this product. It's definitely worth a try! If for any reason you might want to try the samples firsts (even try all Suti's samples,) here's the link that you can buy samples from £1.50! http://www.naturisimo.com/products_samples.cfm?type=Samples%20cleansers&nme=Suti&samples=1#
To get the samples, you need to buy a full price item (cheapest full price will do like a lip balm from £3.50 – I did this before and I think it was all worth it in the end knowing that the products really suits my skin. But it's up to you both, just giving you an option, that I've chosen before. 😉
The Giraffe's HatSeptember 21, 2012 Donah @ Sweetjellybean.com
Oooh that's a good idea, thank you! 🙂
Donah @ Sweetjellybean.comSeptember 21, 2012 The Giraffe's Hat
🙂 No problem. Naturisimo is one of Suti's official seller, so you know you're getting the real stuff. Let me know how you get on 😉 or, you can always blog about it. hehe

I will! I might blog about it, we'll see when I get it 🙂

The Charmed CupcakeSeptember 21, 2012
Thanks for the detailed post D, I remember you told me about the product but it's great to see that it works so well. I love that it kills two birds with 1 stone – removes makes and cleanses at the same time 🙂
Donah @ Sweetjellybean.comSeptember 21, 2012 The Charmed Cupcake
Angie, you just won the cleanse balm sample! Including it in my little package for you 😉 Hope it works wonders on you, too. 🙂
The Charmed CupcakeSeptember 21, 2012 Donah @ Sweetjellybean.com
OH WOW!!! Thank you so much D 😀 what a lovely surprise and a great end to the week. I can't wait to try it as winter is fast approaching and my skin is already feeling like sand paper ahhhhh!!!!

WHAT! I hear you cry… Ok maybe not the nicest topic for a blog post, but we all have one be it big, small, spotty or hairy(!) so let's get over it!
I was recently sent some Andrex Washlets to try as part of their Clean Campaign in association with TV presenter, documentary maker and writer, Dawn O'Porter who is trying to get people all over the country to incorporate them into their daily routine.
At first I was a bit dubious about trying them. Essentially they are wet wipes for grown ups and I wasn't sure whether I wanted to…ahem…wipe with something wet and cold although I use wet wipes on Little Miss A everyday and she doesn't seem to mind! Well, back to the point, I have given them a try and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. OK so, at first, it is a bit strange, however, they really do make you feel a lot cleaner and are really easy to use.
So why can't I just use normal baby wipes I hear you ask! Well you could but, you cannot flush normal wipes down the loo unless you want blocked pipes! Do you really want to be disposing of them in the bin? The great thing about the washlets is you can flush them! They recommend only flushing one or two at a time to prevent blockage but you should not need to use more than that in one go anyway!
The wipes come in a really handy moisture retaining tub which is really easy to use. I have been encouraging my 4 year old to use them and he has no problems getting the wipes out. Once you have run out you can just buy a refill rather than having the expense of buying a new tub. The packs contain 42 wipes and cost, on average, £1.80 and are available at all good supermarkets.
I was sent two packs to try, one with the reusable tub and a pack of refills. I have put the refill pack in the change bag to take out and about with me. There is nothing worse than going into a public loo to find either there is no loo roll or worse, they have the paper that is like tracing paper! As well as using them as intended, they are also useful for wiping hands and just general freshening up when away from home. They are a great size for popping in your handbag/change bag.
I will definitely be thinking twice next time I go to buy loo roll and I think these will be on the shopping list from now on!
If you want to join in with the Clean Campaign why not visit the Facebook page and see for yourself!
All views expressed are my own and I have received no payment for this post other than getting to keep the product (well they wouldn't want it back would they?!)

Amazon Prime eligibility, the coveted Amazon's Choice label, and FBA, or 'Fulfilled By Amazon.' FBA can be an incredibly valuable tool, so we'll use this post to focus on exactly what FBA is and how you can qualify for it.
In short, it means Amazon stores and ships your products for you in their warehouses. Instead of your products and shipping them taking up your resources, Amazon can take that off your hands and ultimately get your products out faster and make things more pleasant for everyone.
But only if you qualify!
Qualifying for FBA can be broken down into a few different areas that are mainly common sense.
To do that, you'll have to create one. Decide on what you're selling and whether or not you'll need an individual or professional account.
Which account type you'll choose depends on the size of your business and sales revenue.
Individual would be best for very small or individual businesses - as the name name implies.
Professional is better suited for larger businesses with larger sales volumes.
These are mainly common sense, like if it isn't legal in the U.S., then it doesn't qualify for FBA.
Beer (both regular and non-alcoholic) also doesn't qualify for FBA, and the same holds true for paper lanterns, loose batteries, tires, gift cards, and some others.
As stated earlier, FBA means that Amazon stores your inventory in one of Amazon's warehouses. In order for that to happen, your product packaging has to actually meet their inventory packaging and labelling standards.
While the requirements are specific from category to category, there are a few points in common.
For example, every packaged item must have a barcode, either from the manufacturer or from Amazon, in an accessible, readable position. Otherwise, Amazon won't take it.
Packaging should be tight and in a standard 6-sided box so that there's no sliding around or breaking during shipping. Also, nothing requiring assembly in order to ship will qualify for FBA.
While this isn't an in-depth view of all the qualifications for Amazon's FBA tool, this overview will give you enough of a general idea to be able to start prepping your inventory to qualify for FBA and get you one step farther in the process of selling on Amazon!

I know it seems like we go away a lot. And maybe we do. But I somehow managed to turn in the manuscript for my next book between Boca and this.
So, I'm racing here. Glenn has business in Mexico City. I have never been here; Always wanted to see it. OK. Not always but the last five years when everyone started talking about how cool it is.
So we got here today at three. We have dinner in an hour. I will have a margarita at dinner. That means I will be in no shape to blog when I get home.
We have a great driver. He picked us up at the airport. After we unpacked he came back and gave us the McTour. So imagine you are in the car with us. We are racing around. He would tell me what things are. I remember fragments. I could look it all up if I had time. But I don't. So you have to go with the photos and my really feeble memory. It was fast. It was furious. It was fabulous. This place is on the move. Third biggest city in the world. It reminds me of India, less poverty, I swear. It is quite clean and a different vibe. It's Latin America and India – is India. But masses of human life in constant motion. Nothing I love more.
I promise to be better the rest of the trip, but if I don't get this up now, I won't post it at all today.
Viva la Mexico!

Taking place at Pier 90, an old docking site in New York City, the Opening Ceremony show location reflects the collection's theme to a T. This season that theme is transport, speed and motion. China Glaze Nail Lead Naomi Yasuda carries the idea of "transformation and speed" through to the nails, but ups the ante with a little bit of cyborg essence as well. "I wanted to create something futuristic and unique, so I cut press-on nail tips into a weird, wavy shape, and painted them with China Glaze Icicle," Yasuda says. After polishing the natural nail with China Glaze Sorry I'm Latte to mimic "mannequin nails," she then adheres the wavy pieces using nail glue to the cuticle area of the nail. "The thickness of the nail tip gives a nice dimension—it almost looks 3-D," she says. Yasuda notes that the wave shape of the tips is meant to look like "metal dripping down"—much like the accompanying glitter-slashed Maybelline makeup. Just as the metal is slowly taking over the nail, technology is taking over the world, which echoes the Blade Runner reference clearly driving the Opening Ceremony collection. To get this look at home, Yasuda suggests swapping out the cut nail tips with China Glaze Striper Rite in When in Chrome (launching March 2016), which has a "really skinny, easy-to-use brush." After polishing your base color, draw a wavy silver line, and then fill in below the line with the striper to the cuticle. —Emilie Branch

We support "Toys for Tubs"
To start our blog we want to raise awareness for the "Toys for Tubs" appeal.
Ryan Tubridy started this a few weeks ago while talking to one of his callers who told him about the difficulties attached when you become a victim of the recession.
Some families won't be able to celebrate a christmas as they were used to in the past. There are a lot of families who will seriously struggle to buy christmas presents for their children.
Taking the approach that charity starts at your own doorsteps we decided to hold an Open Coffee Morning on 3rd December 2010 from 10am-1pm.
Everybody is invited to join us for some coffee, tea, scones and biscuits.
If you are interested please ring us on 086-4045520 for details or drop us a line. All proceeds will be given to St Vincent de Paul. SVP asked only for new present. For more information please have a look at the RTE website.
We look forward to seeing you next week

Honiton gas pipe upgrade completed
PUBLISHED: 15:01 09 May 2019 | UPDATED: 09:13 13 May 2019
New plastic pipes have been installed after a £174,000 project
Essential work to upgrade gas pipes to keep supplies flowing to homes and businesses in Honiton has been completed.
Wales and West Utilities started replacing 1.3kms of old metal pipes with plastic ones in the Pine Grove area in January.
Roxanne Whittaker, who managed the project, said: "We're delighted to have finished this £174,000 upgrade and want to thank everyone who lives, works and travels through Honiton for bearing with us while we did this essential work.
"While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Honiton and the surrounding areas. "Whether it's heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
"This work will not only keep the gas flowing safely and reliably today, it will also help make sure the gas network is fit for the future and can play its part in delivering reliable and affordable green energy."
Wales and West Utilities, the gas emergency and pipeline service, has a multi-million pound, 30-year gas pipe investment programme, which began in 2002.
Old metal pipes within 30 metres of buildings are being upgraded with new long-lasting plastic pipes with a lifespan of more than 80 years. The project aims to ensure that homes and businesses continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply now and in the future.
A spokesperson for Wales and West Utilities said: "We take
pride in serving the south west of England and Wales. Our core business is the safe and secure transportation of gas across our distribution network. We transport gas to the homes and businesses of 2.5 million consumers across a geography covering one sixth of the UK, serving a population of more than seven million people.
"If anyone smells gas, thinks they have a gas leak, or suspects carbon monoxide poisoning, they should call us on 0800 111 999 and our engineers will be there to help, day or night."

Joker vs Ulik
Suggested by iKnowledge The Joker is a very cunning villain. He's also been shown to be quite proficient in hand to hand combat at times. It won't do much against a foe as powerful as Ulik the Troll though. Ulik can take hits from someone like Thor, there isn't really anything Joker can do that will hurt him. One swing of his fists and Ulik will have Joker down for the count. I'm afraid that the Crown Prince of Crime will have to retire here. Ulik wins.

The Wind Forecasting Improvement Project 2 (WFIP2) is a DOE initiative targeted at enhancing the reliability of wind forecasting around the world, but specifically in challenging areas. By doing so it seeks to reduce the cost of grid integration and help operators optimize performance through more effective short-term modeling of wind variability. As part of this project, Vaisala and its partners have been tasked with conducting a comprehensive 3-phase study of atmospheric phenomena in complex terrain, with the end goal of enhancing the widely used Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Rapid Refresh (RAP) and High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) models.The Columbia River Gorge, an area with both extremely complex terrain and one of the world's largest concentrations of wind turbines, provides an ideal study site, Vaisala noted.

Radford's signature Hydrogel masks have relaunched with the newest technology and powerful ingredients in cell regeneration: Hyaluronic Acid, Carob Seed and Sea moss.
Infused with gold, our 24K Gold Hydrogel Mask instantly cools, soothes and nourishes the skin. The highly restorative properties of hydrogel, and it's advanced ability to adhere securely to the skin, allows the mask to deeply hydrate and lock in moisture. Hyaluronic acid plumps the skin to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creating a healthy looking glow. Skin is left refreshed and ready to be seen.
How to use:Peel off the protective layer from both the front and back and apply to clean skin. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Remove mask and discard.
Victoria's tip:Apply an eye mask for 20 minutes before doing your makeup to eliminate puffiness. Bring a mask in your carry on for long flights and apply before landing to help you looking fresh upon arrival.
Undereye has always been my problem area and these masks work wonders! Pop them in the fridge before using and they feel fantastic on too.
Only tried once but did like your product
Thank you😊
The previous version of the eye mask, clung to the skin much easier and there was a noticeable difference in hydration within the first 5 min of wearing them. I LOVED them! Is there any way to purchase those ? These feel more like the ones you get in a fab fit fun box , a much different experience than the previous eye mask.
Works well in the morning to reduce under eye puffiness.
These eye masks are simply wonderful! So soothing for tired eyes and just makes you look bright and awake! Love them! Little mini miracles!

this poet experienced
Sally Cinnamon
Being virgin to Eros & his sighs
Spectral seconds attend the growing soul
Hearing a lute-string'd aether-breathing call
I turn'd to see her star-wreath'd, lustful eyes.
My eagle-lashed, Latvian poetess,
My pearl-eyed raven in her Persian dress,
My Spanish pea-hen spangling as she comes,
My nude Numidian banging the drums.
Like mountain men & archipelagos
Or young sweethearts sniffing a first red rose
Like money men glimpsing a glint of gold
Or distant kin returning to the fold
We are the music of the finches green
We are twa pussies purring by a fire
We are the fragrance of a vernal scene
We are twa frogs full throated with desire
I watch'd her as she walk'd across the moon,
An airless void of loveless futures spent,
Each little step she's taken plays a tune,
Beholding her a parfit innocent
I rocketed into her grey-toned sphere,
& scatter'd lunar dusts, as these unveil,
A world of fertile colours, closing near
Her heart's cocoon, it crumples, thin & frail.
Crackling with all the majesty of love
She flutters into air with velvet wings,
An angel floating, hovering above
An orchestra supports her as she sings;
"We are two blossoms of this bonnie land,
We are two rabbits sprinting 'cross the glen,
We are the seaweed strewn across the sand,
We are two badgers snuggled in their den!"
Long time, for this fair moment, did we wait,
Which two sure hearts attaches into one,
& felt us fair as fairly dealt us fate
As match we – with a gasp – empyrean!
There was an instant karma to our touch,
As if we had belong'd since time began,
For how can two new strangers feel so much,
Thro' times like these life serves the higher plan.
Like songbirds witnessing the world's first dawn,
Or proud parents cooing their babe's first yawn,
Like virgins witness to the breast exposed,
Or an exploring of the always closed,
We are morning in the Tuscan enclaves,
We are night on the Sea of Galilee,
We are swans a-gone gliding between white waves,
For we are one in nature, you & me.

FLORENCE – Inter, a different team and now world champions in February compared to the December outfit, beat Fiorentina 1-2 in the rearranged Serie A 2010/11 Week 17 fixture (originally scheduled for 18 December) at the Stadio Franchi this evening.
It was an own goal by Camporese at the end of a move constructed by Maicon, Stankovic and Eto'o that opened the scoring and gave the Nerazzurri an early lead after 6 minutes, before Pasqual equalised in the 27th minute when his cross was missed by everyone and caught out Julio Cesar. Ranocchia celebrated his 23rd birthday with an assured performance while Pazzini had his own party as he made his 200th Serie A appearance, doing what he does best and scoring (his fourth for Inter), which proved to be enough to clinch all three points.
FIRST HALF – Leonardo gave Yuto Nagatomo his full debut at left-back, with Ranocchia and Cordoba confirmed at the heart of defence. In midfield, with Thiago Motta sitting out through suspension, Stankovic made his first appearance in the side since getting injured on 26 January in the cup match against Napoli. Santana and Mutu started behind Gilardino for the home side.
Inter began on the attack with Eto'o laying off for Maicon to cross to the far post, where Stankovic was inches away from connecting. Fiorentina hit back immediately and only a timely intervention from Cordoba prevented Montolivo from threading through for Gilardino. The Nerazzurri got their noses in front after 6 minutes of play thanks to an own goal by Camporese: Maicon burst forward on the break and passed to Stankovic, who in turn laid off for Eto'o; the Cameroonian tried a shot and the defender's clumsy attempt at a clearance ended up beating his own keeper. Stankovic's foul on Mutu gifted Fiorentina a freekick, which the Romanian took himself: it was well hit and well saved by Julio Cesar. Fiorentina went on the attack again: Mutu fired in an angled drive that Julio Cesar got down well for (16th minute), Gamberini's shot was blocked by Cordoba (18th) and Santana had another chance (22nd). The Argentinian then stayed on the ground after a high-speed clash with Zanetti: the Inter skipper clearly played the ball but Santana picked up a knock to the back of his thigh (25th), so Ljajic came on in his place. The home side found an equaliser on 33 minutes: Pasqual's cross turned into a shot when Gilardino and Cordoba both failed to connect and the ball bounced beyond Julio Cesar. A few minutes later Ranocchia got his body in front of Montolivo's fierce drive before Julio Cesar punched away Mutu's rasping effort. Pazzini, on his 200th appearance in Serie A, made his presence felt after 42 minutes when he got his head onto Maicon's cross, but could only direct his effort above the bar. Fiorentina went closer on the stroke of half time, Ljajic first hitting an effort on the turn from the edge of the box that sailed whiskers over, then – set up by Mutu – striking an arrowed effort that forced Inter's Brazilian shotstopper into a fantastic save. After two minutes of added time, the teams headed in with the score at 1-1.
SECOND HALF – No changes were made at half time and after the kick-off it was Stankovic who went close with a right-footed volley (49th minute): Boruc was equal to it and managed to palm the ball away before it crossed the line. After 56 minutes Ranocchi made a decisive challenge on Gilardino to win back the ball as he was reaching the area. Finally, on 62 minutes, Pazzini could celebrate - without overdoing it in front of his ex-fans - his 100th goal with a classic striker's finish: a great run by Eto'o, who came inside from the right, skipped past Camporese and sent a hard cross through the box to find Pazzini, who knocked in from just in front of goal and put Inter back in the lead 1-2. Babacar, who came on in the 41st minute, tried to exploit an inviting pass from Gilardino, but Ranocchia was once again there to intercept after 43 minutes.
After 3 minutes of added time, Fiorentina v Inter ended 1-2. The Nerazzurri move past Lazio into third position in the league on 47 points.

Indian Country Today recently ran a story about NAFSA, and what we are trying to accomplish for Indian Country and our member tribes and tribal entities. We encourage you to read the full article, but we wanted to highlight the sections that really explain why tribal lending is a vital industry for economic development in Indian Country.
The Chippewa Cree use their lending profits to maintain and grow the business, and have a significant portfolio. They are also pay uncovered elder costs, amenities like coats for all school children, cultural activities, and rebuilding its clinic, which was wiped out in a flood. Plans for economic development include a grocery store and other basic needs.
Chairman Jim Williams of the Lac Vieux Desert Band echoed [Plain Green's Jay] Abassi's enthusiasm. His tribe got into the business in 2011 after intense research and preparation. The tribe suffered a huge decline in gaming revenue in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so it was probably the first tribe to own its financial services. His message to interested tribes is that this is one of the best businesses for tribes to be in because it harnesses technology and leverages tribal sovereignty to take advantage of regulatory advantages in the financial space.
The tribe employs 40 people, 15 percent of whom are tribal. The revenue funds 140 tribal government employees, provides money for funding government; revenue has supplemented higher education scholarships, created homeownership opportunities, recently built a new tribal medical center, provided new squad cars for law enforcement, created cultural preservation programs, social service programs (burial funds), renovated the tribal court system, tribal elder home care and transport, and a gathering place for long term medical care.

Movie comment: Mizuho Nakayama, she is a beautiful wife with pitch black hair. She looks fine and intellectual on first glance but she gets really naughty in bed. She groans wild twisting her body which doesn't fit her beautiful feature, but just staring at her ecstatic look gives enough enticement. In private, she works hard and she is a great house at home, but she goes really wild like this quite the contrary. When she is asked to take off all of her cloth, her beautiful & firm tits and loose belly hidden by her outfit appear. Touch of her body is soft and is like stuffed toy. She soaks in pleasure moaning like shouting when her pussy is licked around. She devours sexual pleasure with her drenched pussy in cowgirl position. She craves for a penis in doggystyle and she goes crazy by continuous hard pounding. At last, a load of cum is shot on her tits and she mumbles how great is was.

TIBETANS STEADFAST, WITH NO LET-UP IN CHINA'S REPRESSION (*updated*)
elp. I'm running out of new ways to say 'Resistance, Repression Continue' for a headline. These people just won't give up.
A Tibetan woman who reportedly protested peacefully on March 16 and 17 in Ngaba County, Kham (Ch: Sichuan) was arrested on March 18 by Chinese security forces, allegedly because she was the first person to have taken down a door plate at the local township office. She was released after nine days in prison, in an extremely critical condition. She had spent those nine days receiving torture from the prison guards.
There were many bruise marks on her body, she was unable to speak and eat food, constantly vomiting and could hardly breathe properly.The 38 year-old mother of four children, Nechung, remained in this condition until she finally died on April 17, without receiving any proper medical care. How many people participated in this slow murder, we can only guess. But as if that wasn't enough depravity,
After the release, her relatives immediately took her to the County government hospital for treatment. However, the County government hospital refused to admit her to the hospital to receive timely medical treatment, apparently under influence and intimidation of the local Chinese authorities. She was completely denied from accessing timely medical treatment in the hospital.
Even after her death, the Chinese authorities issued terse warning to Tibetan monks for offering prayers and ritual rites for her deceased soul.Nechung's four children are all actually still children, and her husband has been on the run since her arrest. Ngaba County was the site of one of the earliest reported massacres of protesters near Kirti Monastery, where the first photograph of slain demonstrators showed their bodies lined up on the ground awaiting religious service.
Heavy suppression and determined resistance continue in Kham. Additional People's Armed Police were deployed in Ngaba County on April 28. Chinese officials arrived at Namtso Monastery and attempted to raise the Chinese flag, but a monk tried to stop them. The monk was severely beaten. Many of those arrested in this area are detained at a prison near Chengdu, and among them are many with broken limbs who are also being denied proper medical care.
In Sershul County, Kardze prefecture, Kham, Chinese government "work teams" called the monks of Voen-po Monastery to a meeting on April 20. Statements opposing "separatists" were announced, along with orders to fly the Chinese flag over the monastery, but the monks refused. On April 25, three local people were arrested and severely beaten by police.
In Derge County, Kardze, Kham, Chinese "work team" indoctrination squads instructed the monks at Dza Gonsar Monastery to sign letters opposing "separatists" on April 30. The monks rejected this and the PAP have surrounded the monastery and imposed tight restrictions upon it.
Anyone who is suspected of harbouring unapproved attitudes, whether or not they actually act upon them, is liable to be rounded up. On April 29, without any justification, a 41 year-old former monk Nyima Drakpa was arrested in Bardzi township, Tawu County, Kardze, Kham. Ten years ago he had been arrested under suspicion of putting up pro-Tibetan independence posters in the county.
Back again to Sershul County, where the PAP conducted a raid on a village near Voen-po Monastery on April 28.
During the raid, altars that had portraits of His Holiness the Dalai Lama were mishandled. During one such incident, a girl by the name of T. Lhamo boldly shouted that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is our supreme protector and that His Holiness should be immediately welcomed back to Tibet. She also shouted Long Live His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She demanded the reasons why Tibetans could not have the portrait of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at their altars. In addition, she also demanded an explanation for the arbitrary arrests of A-drel Lama Rinpoche and monks of the local monastery.T. Lhamo's body was later found, after she apparently committed suicide by strangulation with a rope. As that blind monk in Ngaba told his family before taking his own life (reported here April 28), even he couldn't bear to see such repression.
CTA reports further details of some of those 30 Tibetans who were sentenced in Lhasa at the end of last month. Chinese authorities have alleged that all of them were involved in the March 14 Lhasa riot. The monk Pasang (he was named in the international media coverage), who was given life imprisonment, as well as most of those who received 15 year sentences, are monks from Dhingkha Monastery, Toelung County. Some of the others are from Phenpo Lhundup County. In these two counties, demonstrations only took place after the Lhasa riot. Of course the defendants were not allowed to have lawyers, so no one could question this discrepancy.
The report quotes a person from Toelung County (who wishes to remain anonymous) that the same "crimes" were punished in this travesty with inconsistent sentences. Those from villages were given longer sentences for the same "crime".
Another arrest mission, this time by Public Security Bureau officials, has resulted in the target being shot dead, in Chamdo County, Kham (now incorporated into the "TAR"). Around 9 in the morning on May 4 the officials came to Lathok Yuchu township to arrest Akar Tashi at his home. He was alleged to have been involved in the Lhasa protests (who isn't, these days?) and suspected of past involvement in political activities. Akar Tashi resisted arrest, there was a scuffle with the soldiers -- one of whom was stabbed by Tashi -- and he was shot dead.
Tibetan students from a middle school in Drango (or Drakgo) County, Kardze, Kham, shouted patriotic slogans on May 2, such as "Tibet is an independent country" and "His Holiness should be welcomed to Tibet and be enthroned." Around the same period at Samtenling Nunnery, also in Drango County, the 300 resident nuns defied authorities by hanging banners that stretched nearly two kilometres. The banners proclaimed pro-independence slogans in both Tibetan and Chinese script. Chinese "work teams" were immediately dispatched to "patriotically" re-educate the nuns, who promptly walked out of their institution leaving the "work team" with no one to "re-educate."
For an idea of the onerous restrictions now bearing down on residents of Tibet's sacred capital, see this Letter from Lhasa, written April 27. There's a lot in there on Chinese security forces' masquerade games, especially during the period foreign journalists were around in late March. Prison conditions and severe mistreatment are also featured in this letter by an anonymous resident, but I'd prefer to end on a more hopeful note (I realise I've been awfully depressing lately).
But even in this difficult time you still see brave and good actions. Yesterday I saw a little boy, around one or two years old; that I believed displayed a good example of Tibetan spirit. The baby looked as if he had just learnt how to walk and was out with his grandmother and her little dog. They were standing in front of the Jokhang Square where military in blue ensures nobody crosses the square.So there you go. That child just said it all.
The baby walked up the three steps to the square and started to make prostrations towards the Jokhang while his grandmother also prayed but her frail body prevented her from prostrating as well. When the boy finished he looked at the guards, then at his grandmother, and then started to walk closer to the temple. The guards looked at the baby, not knowing what to do.
After about ten meters the baby boy stopped and prostrated again, then turned around, walked back to one of the guards and took his hand to say goodbye. Seeing this reminded me that all Tibetan people want is religious freedom and the right to preserve their culture.
[UPDATE]: Oesser's latest bulletins have some bearing on some of the accounts described above, but I didn't get them into the article before I posted it last night.
She has more details about the indoctrination squad's work at Dza Gonsar Monastery (mentioned earlier in this article) in Derge County, Kham on April 30. The "work team" tried to compel the monks to sign a document called, "Expose and Criticize the Dalai Separatist Clique", and demanded two photos from each monk to affix with their signature. The monks were threatened that if they failed to comply with the orders, the monastery would be closed.
The monks gathered themselves in the Hall of the Protective Deity, and took an oath in front of the sacred image that they would rather die than to sign those documents.
May Day was of course a big holiday festival in China, and Lhasa was decked out with red lanterns and red flags everywhere. The pedestrian street Yuthog Road was filled with police doing "service for the people" -- giving haircuts, repairing bicycles, etc. But the people who were being so served were actually hand-picked by neighbourhood Party committees to make a show of harmonious relations with the authorities. The show was dutifully recorded for television and newspaper features, while all intersections leading into the area were blocked by military police who forced those not invited into taking a detour somewhere else.
At the weekend she recorded that the military soldiers patrolling Lhasa have been dressing up as tourists, while those on guard duty have opted for police uniforms. Some work units have told their employees that their place of work is now to circumambulate the Potala, and neighbourhood Party committees also organise faux-pilgrims to complete the scene. Such performers are receiving bonuses for their efforts.
On May Day the Ramoche Temple and the "Tripa Lhakhang" in Lhasa were re-opened to visitors, with many undercover agents posing as tourists although the sentries have been withdrawn. It is also learned that another journalist group will soon visit Lhasa, including foreigners. Work units are planning to send their workers to hold demonstrations over some trivial matters, to show how free Lhasans are to express themselves. Potemkin Lhasa.
Oeser reports that many Tibetans regard the brevity of the meeting between Tibetan envoys and Chinese officials in Shenzhen on Sunday as an "expected but still sad result." Tibetans in China do not believe the government is sincere -- the Chinese representatives are not senior enough. But Chinese "netters" ridiculed the meeting with statements like, "next time it will do just to dispatch a bureau chief," and, "do not bother the Chairman and the Prime Minister too much." The Tibetan citizen journalist wonders, "Does the CCP really think that they can drag on like this until the Olympics is over?"
Official Chinese media reports that the 30 Tibetans sentenced on April 29 actually did have lawyers, although none were in evidence at the sentencing. No defence was raised by the phantom "court-appointed attorneys." The state media also quoted one of these phantoms, saying that his client told him the confession was not extracted with torture, and that the food was "very good." However Oser quotes one Tibetan lawyer who went to visit defendant Losang Samten:
"When I walked into the house of detention, two doctors were treating the suspects who were detained there. At that time over a dozen suspects were waiting to see a doctor. In addition, two suspects were receiving an I.V. there."According to information from some Tibetans who were released, all who were arrested were beaten and abused to some degree, some worse than others. Some have become disabled from the abuse, some have died or become mentally unstable as a result. Some were so severely injured as to require hospitalization, with police warning them that it is forbidden to reveal that they were tortured to confess.
In Rebkong County, Amdo (Ch: Qinghai) the Rong Gonchen Monastery has been frequently mentioned here (check our handy new search feature). Around 80% of the monks had been arrested by April 17. Wouser has learned that all but 17 have now been released, and some of the monks are receiving treatment in hospital for the injuries they sustained after their arrest. She has also learned that around a thousand armed police and special police have been evacuated from the county, while the numbers of undercover police has increased.
A local court in Rebkong County has recently tried three monks from Dowa Monastery in secret, giving prison terms of 2 - 3 years. In Drango County, Kardze (also mentioned above), a secret trial was held for six nuns and one layperson. Three nuns received seven year sentences while the other defendants got three years.
Toward the end of March, when "work teams" were busy "re-educating" the monks of Sershul Monastery in Kham (not sure if this is the same monastery mentioned earlier in this article), the respected Tulku (reincarnated Lama) Thubten Nyandra said:
"It is totally without any basis to claim that this incident was masterminded by the Dalai Lama. The cause for this incident is that a great number of Han immigrants moved to Tibet to plunder the land resources, and to rob the locals of their rights to receive education and to work. There is no Tibetan who does not want to believe in the Dalai Lama. The Chinese government should hold talks with the Dalai Lama as soon as possible."Thubten Nyandra Rinpoche has been under house arrest ever since.

I am a first-year student of An Giang University. I am very happy that I can continue my studies so that I will become a teacher as I have wished for years. Some years ago, I used to think that everything at high school and at university was similar, so I was surprised when I first came to An Giang University because it was very different; however, there were also some similarities. Now I would like to tell you about the similarities and the differences between life as a high school student and life as a university student.
I was proud that I was a student of Thoai Ngoc Hau High School. It was the most famous school of An Giang Province, so it was rather large. There were thirty six classes with over four hundred students and about sixty teachers. It had two computer labs but they were single-user computers, so we used them only to study informatics. There was also a library, it was rather small compared with a well-equipped public library. When we studied gymnastics or organized sport matches, we entered the gymnasium; however, it didn't have enough apparatuses. The school-yard was wide enough for us to play sports after 5 p.m everyday. When we felt sick or had a pain in our body, we could have come to the school clinic. Every month, we had some activities for each subject such as presenting small plays, participating in drawing contests and telling stories. Those helped us review our lessons and cultivate our minds. Nevertheless, we were often very stressful because we had to study fifteen subjects each year, so we had to take so many tests that we didn't have much time to play sports with our friends and to do anything we liked. It was so boring that we sometimes fell asleep in our class, our teachers explained all the lessons for us and we had to write very fast and learned by heart all them. Although there were many things we weren't clear on, we asked our teachers only after our class finished because each period had forty five minutes, it wasn't enough for us to discuss while studying. Our teachers were nice, but most of our friends were unfriendly and they were often dishonest while doing tests because they weren't well-prepared before.Now I am studying at An Giang University. It is rather well-equipped. Its campus is very wide. There are over ninety classes with many students and instructors. The library is large and it has many kinds of books, cassettes and networked computers, so we can get information for our studies easily because we usually study by ourselves. We usually have presentations. It is useful that we can remember all the lessons clearly because we have to read a lot of books and prepare carefully in order that our presentations will be good enough and attract our classmates. Besides, we will feel more and more self-confident whenever we appear in front of many people, we also have a unified spirit when we study in group. Most of the members in my class are very nice, friendly and active. We always help our classmates when they have problems or give them advice when they make mistakes so that we will become better and better. There is an English Speaking Club which was organized twice a month so as to improve our speaking skill and communication skill, we have many friends when taking part in this club, they are friendly and sociable. In addition, there are some foreigner teachers at my university, we can ask them about many things which we aren't clear, they are willing to help us, it is also a good condition for us to practice speaking English and to improve our knowledge.When being at high school, we had a flag greeting-ceremony every Monday. School managing board summed up all the activities of the previous week, gave their ideas and promoted new plans for that week. It was very good, but now we don't have that period. Besides, we study less subjects than we did at high school, so we can relax by playing sports and participating in many activities after hard-studying days. There are much more students and teachers than my high school, the library is larger and the campus is wider. In addition, I didn't have good conditions to practice speaking English at high school because many students disliked it and felt shy when speaking, there were no also foreigner teachers and English Speaking Club. Seldom did we study in group because we didn't have presentations at high school. Now studying in group is very necessary because if we don't, we can't have a good group presentation. The biggest difference between university and high school is the method of teaching and studying, so we felt strange at the beginning of this school-year. However, we have got acquainted with all the differences up until now.In my opinion, studying at university is more interesting than studying at high school. It has a lot of good conditions for us to study, to relax and to develop our skills. It is very bad for our health if we only study without relaxing and we will feel very sad if we have just a few friends. There are a lot of good chances, so we should make use of them to study better and better in order that our country will become an industrialized nation.

CineMarterPaper Towns - Manic Pixie Dream Girl No More
Directed by Jake Schreier. Produced by Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey. Written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. Release date: July 24, 2015.
If you've seen the trailer for Paper Towns, you no doubt are going to think it looks like another generic teen romance movie in which an unpopular high school boy falls in love with the popular girl - only in this case, the girl goes missing and the boy has to track her down in order to, I don't know, "rescue" her or something. Thankfully, the marketing department has once again let us down, because Paper Towns actually avoids many of the genre's clichés, has a decent amount of depth, and contains more than a few laughs.
The story begins in a way that seems less than original. "Q" (Nat Wolff) has lived across the street from Margo (Cara Delevingne) since he was a young child. They used to be good friends, but drifted apart as they grew older; they haven't even had a meaningful conversation in years. She became popular - although enigmatic - while he became a band nerd. One night, though, Margo climbs through his window and asks for his help to enact revenge on her cheating boyfriend and the friends who knew about it. The next day, Margo disappears. Q believes it's his destiny to find out where she went, and spends the rest of the movie looking for her, sometimes joined by his friends, Ben (Austin Abrams) and Radar (Justice Smith), one of Margo's friends, Lacey (Halston Sage), and Radar's girlfriend, Angela (Jaz Sinclair).
If you think you know how it all plays out just from this brief outline, you're probably only partially correct. In a typical movie, Q would find Margo and the two would fall in love, making everything in the world okay for just a brief moment. In Paper Towns, though, that's at least partially subverted. In fact, there's a good deal more to Paper Towns than one would initially think. For example, Margo is essentially the dictionary definition of "Manic Pixie Dream Girl," but while most movies adhere to all of the tropes that go along with that character type, Paper Towns uses her to essentially showcase everything wrong with it - and what's wrong with building up someone in your head without getting to know them first. It's a debunking of the mythology surrounding something over which far too many movie characters lust.
The majority of Paper Towns acts as a road trip movie. Characters talk and bond, the stops provide much of the excitement, and the journey is very often far more interesting than the destination. All of this is true here. In fact, some of the best parts of the film involve Q and his buddies ruminating on the finality of high school, where they'll be in the future, and even if they'll stay friends. Other scenes see them just goofing off, like when they encounter a scary situation and sing the Pokémon theme song - one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie. What the film does wonderfully is taking mundane scenes and making them enlightening and entertaining.

Burial Service Stonington
Everyone deals with death in his or her own way. Loss of a loved one can leave a person confused as to what to do next. Questions include: What do I need for the death certificate? What Burial Service Stonington do I want to use? What extras do I need? Will there be an open or closed casket viewing? Ideally, the funeral home will provide guidance through this troubling maze of death. It is important that the service both adequately convey the life of the decedent as well as comfort the mourning family and friends.
Burial Service In Stonington should include a meeting to discuss the arrangements, planning the funeral, consulting with the family, contacting clergy, filing of necessary notices, and coordinating with the cemetery or other third parties. There is usually a set cost for these features.
Optional features for Burial Service Stonington include embalming (there is no law requiring embalming except in special circumstances), make up, hair styling, dressing the body for the casket, arranging the body in the casket and washing and disinfecting unembalmed remains. Also there is the choice whether to have the visitation the night before the burial or the same day. It is less expensive to do it all in one day. There are additional fees if the body has to be moved from one location to another, for example, sending a body to a church for a religious burial service.
For the funeral procession, the Burial Service Stonington should be able to provide the hearse, limousines for the family, a lead car required for funeral processions, and a car for the flowers and other utilities. Paper products that may be offered include a guest book, acknowledgment cards and prayer cards.
The decor of the funeral home should be muted and tasteful, offering different sized chapels for the dead. Usually there will be a private room off the chapel for family to escape to so they can pull themselves back together to continue the visitation. The funeral home should have adequate parking for the mourners.
There are many things to consider when having a funeral for a loved one. Ultimately, the funeral home should guide the family into the least stressful memorial for a loved one.

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share one of my favorite pieces that I've written. This is the essay I wrote for my college/common application. The prompt I selected was: "Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story." This prompt seemed almost made for me, given my background and experiences. This is one of my proudest pieces. I have this posted on my writing blog (World Through Shayla's Pen), but I also wanted to share it here on Back2Curly, because cultural identity and acceptance is a big part of many of our natural hair journeys. I hope you enjoy!
October 2016
My Identity (College Application Essay)
By Shayla S
My background, my identity, will always follow me. I am Mexican, I am Black, I am from Hong Kong. I am comfortable, assured, and confident in that now, but it hasn't always been that way. Connecting to the parts of me so removed has been difficult. For a long time, I never felt Black but I never felt Mexican either: stuck in the middle, in Hong Kong speaking Mandarin without answers or people "like" me. The best way for me to explain my identity journey is to tell it backwards.
I am six and my skin is too light yet too dark, my hair is twisted into four tight braids, and no one understands what it means.
"How can you be American and have dark skin?"
"If you're African-American, isn't that just half American and half African?"
"Are you sure you're not from India?"
On storytelling day, parents who look like stretched out, grown up versions of my classmates file in two by two.
The slightly darker, grown up version of myself walks into the room, hand in hand with my dad. Whispers fill the air and fingers begin to point.
"Who's Shayla's mom with?"
"He's not her dad, is he? His skin is white, he can't be."
"Maybe she's adopted."
I cower inside and ignore their questions until a teacher intervenes and the attention shifts. Six-year-old-me feels out of place, but seventeen-year-old-me knows what to say. It's okay. You don't look exactly like them, but you carry what is in them. The richness of their cultures, the struggles they've overcome and the unique traits you'll acquire. Your differences are an advantage, one day you'll see.
"Excuse me, does it matter what color we fill in the hands?" I am in fourth grade, standing in front of my teacher holding a cutout of a headless girl, wearing a Chinese New Year cheongsam. I know ahead of time that a picture of every student will be glued to the body of the little cutouts, and want to make sure that if I color the hands brown rather than the peach color everyone else is using, I am correct.
"Well just think about it Shayla," my teacher says. "That's wrong. Most people wearing these kinds of outfits don't have that color skin."
Dejected, I retreat to my chair and borrow a peach marker from the girl next to me. Keep your brown marker. Your color is never wrong.
Next week, the cutouts are glued outside the classroom, our heads tagged onto the tops. My figurine stands out, the only dark face with peach-colored hands. Your picture stands out, but to your left and right are the pictures of all your friends. Looking different has never stopped you from getting along with all kinds of people. Be proud of that.
I am seventeen and well versed in my cultures and the cultures of many others. I feel a pit in my stomach when I see tension in the world, and racial slurs thrown around the hallways send shivers down my spine.
But I don't cower anymore. I remember my identity and the people before me, and proudly form the legacy I want to leave behind. No matter where I go, I will always carry my cultural identity, as well as traits that transcend race. When I play my saxophone and when I run, I reflect on who I am and who I want to become. Whether I am with a Chinese store clerk or a Yemeni refugee, an American teacher or a Japanese friend, I represent these same qualities and am not ashamed. I plan to go out into the world and bring people together, navigating across cultures just as I have done all my life.
