Olbia, situated at the bottom of a deep inlet, is home to Sardinia's main harbour and tourist airport. After the collapse of the Roman empire and with subsequent vandal invasions, it fell to ruin, much like the rest of Sardinia's coastal towns. In the eleventh century, under the dominion of the Pisans settled in Gallura, it was reconstructed on its original site under the name Terranova, which remained in use until 1939. Upon becoming the bishop's see, Olbia enjoyed some rebirth with new maritime traffic and the spread of agriculture throughout the plains. However, its long economic and demographic stagnation continued until the 1800's, when city development once again called for the renewal of the harbour. Roads were then constructed leading out to the state trunk-road 131 and to the train station, and canals were built to contain the rivers directed out to sea. In the 1980's, an impetuous demographic development ensued, further contributed to by a large flow of immigration arriving from the rest of Sardinia and Italy at large, causing Olbia to jump into fourth place in Sardinia's urban hierarchy.

From Santa Margherita visit Portofino one of the most photographed - and most exclusive - harbours in the Mediterranean with its magic and the look of a film set. Yet this is very much the genuine article. Nestling below the pine, olive and eucalyptus trees that dress this Ligurian peninsula lies a fabulous collection of terracotta-coloured houses, topping a line of exclusive shops and waterside watering holes. Even if fishing boats have long been replaced with luxury tenders and power boats, you won�t resist the temptation to stop and stare.
This ancient city is the gateway to the ruins of Butrint which has an impressive amphitheater where gladiators fought and Christians were offered to the lions. There are remnants of an early monastery and Christian Basilica with mosaic floors as well as fascinating inscriptions on the theater. Many eras are represented, from the original Greek settlement to paleo-Christian basilicas and a baptistry. Natural and man-made disasters emptied the city; over five centuries it became buried under silt and vegetation and only re-discovered in the early 1900s. This amazing cultural treasure with its ramparts, acropolis, agora, amphitheater, temples, public baths and private residences has been excavated and brought back to life almost intact over the past 50 years.

Sete developed around the new port, becoming the country's second busiest port after Marseille..

This fortress and modern town is the principal naval base of France: the headquarters of the Mediterranean fleet, with hundreds of sailors wandering the streets. With its beautiful harbor, it's surrounded by hills and crowned by forts. A large breakwater protects it on the east, and the great peninsula of Cap Sici is on the west. Separated by the breakwater, the outer roads are known as the Grande Rade and the inner roads the Petite Rade. On the outskirts is a winter resort colony. Like Marseille, the population of Toulon has grown because of the large influx of people from North Africa, especially French-speaking Algeria which was once a part of France before it broke away.
Trapani, the ancient Drepanon, jets out into the Mediterranean sea in the shape of a sickle. The Ligny Tower, an imposing watchtower built in 1761, stands on its extreme tip and now houses the Museum of Prehistory. The best way to go get to know Trapani is looking at the ties this town has always had with the sea. Nowadays fishing provides a means of support, but in the past the Mediterranean was a source of wealth because of the coral industry. The precious coral works made by skilled craftsmen have made this town famous since the second half of the 16th century. Today this remakable and creative craft is gaining strenght again thanks to the workshops set up by young artisans, who have revived an ancient form of art that seemed to have fallen into oblivion. A collection of very fine coral works is displayed at the Pepoli Museum, inside the old Carmelite monastery. Next to this building stands the Santuario dell'Annunziata, where one can find a beautiful 14th century marble statue of the Madonna of Trapani. Walking down the streets of the oldest part of the city centre, one can easily notice the indelible marks left on Trapani's town planning and architectural styles by various civilizations.
Tripoli is Libya's capital and major port on the Mediterranean coast. Also known as Tarabalus Al-Gharb (Tripoli of the West), the city's history dates back to its founding by the Phoenicians in 1000 BC. Remains of once regal Greek and Roman cities were buried beneath Libya's sands for eons. Only in the past century, excavation works have brought to light the unbelievable splendor of Libya's artifacts of antiquity that are among the most spectacular in the Mediterranean region. The country's stunning connection to the past is also depicted in some world-class museums.
Tunis is the capital of Tunisia. Situated on a large Mediterranean gulf (the Gulf of Tunis), behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette (Halq al Wadi), the city extends along the coastal plain and the hills that surround it. At the centre of more modern development (colonial era and post) lies the old medina. Beyond this section lie the suburbs of Carthage, La Marsa, and Sidi Bou Said.
Urbino is a gem of a renaissance city located in Italy's seldom visited Marche region.
Ustica is a small volcanic island lying off the northern coast of Sicily.
Stylish and friendly Valencia is together with Barcelona the most important city on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. While the original founding goes back to Roman times, it was the Moors who arrived in 709 AD and made Valencia prosper, thanks to a booming trade in paper, silk, leather, ceramics, glass and silver work. After Almanzor's death, the area was conquered by the legendary "El Cid" during the Christian re-conquest of Spain. Not much is left from the Roman period, but the architectural legacy of the Moors is abundant and can be seen in the remains of the old walls, the Almirante bath house and the tower, el Miguelete, which was the minaret of the old mosque.
In 1530, Charles V of Spain granted the island of Malta to the Knights of the Order of St. John. Many impressive 16th-century limestone buildings and fortifications from the Knights have endured, helping make the city of Valetta simply magnificent to experience today.
The popular seaside town of Viareggio is situated on the Tuscany coast. Viareggio and the resorts "Torre del Lago Puccini", "Lido di Camaiore", "Marina di Pietrasanta" etc. makeup about 20 kilometers of the Versilian Riviera (or Riviera della Versilia). Viareggio has most of the usual attractions of a typical Italian seaside resort. One of the highlights of the year is the famous Carnival of Viareggio that attractions may visitors from near and far.
From Villefranche, make your way via the Grand Corniche to Cannes, Nice or Monte Carlo along the Cote dAzur. Meander down a seaside promenade at dusk when the light is its softest and bright chatter spills out from sidewalk cafes.
History has left its mark on the city of Zadar, Croatia. The Roman forum is well preserved; the Venetians walls still stand as do ancient Croatian churches, monasteries and palaces; and Zadar boasts a fine collection of gold and silver. Zadar has always been outward looking and part of the Mediterranean world. It has shared agriculture, shipbuilding, shipping and trade with people of the Mediterranean.
Zakinthos, also called Zante, is one of the largest Ionian Islands located off the Western coast of Greece. Like its more well-known neighbor to the North, Corfu, the island is blessed with lush vegetation and delicate beauty. The whitewashed town greets visitors with shops and cafes, while unspoiled beaches on the Western shore tempt sun worshippers and sea bathers.

caused my face to develop some dark
spots & after reading reviews from your
customers I am hoping this will help. May 15, 2012
Kind regards,
Lourdes Apr 15, 2012
They only appeared recently, would like to see them fade away, especially with my daughters wedding at the end of June.
Stay out of the sun!!! Apr 15, 2012
I have sun damage on my face and chest.
Saw the product being recommended by a dermatologist on Dr. Oz Mar 29, 2012
I've seen many good reviews about this product. I wanted to try ! Mar 25, 2012
So, it's a two-fer -- a very good value.
Jeanne Jun 11, 2012
It does NOT moisturize at all, in fact you might feel that it is almost sticky and dry, which is instantly remedied by applying moisture as regular. Jun 14, 2012
To make a long story short, it does work on Black skin. I would have preferred it to have been less oily. Jan 28, 2013
I put it on my face before my moisturizer. Then I let it dry because it feels a bit sticky until it dries.
Must be honest though, I use it around my collar bone.
Works really well, smells great! Enjoy!! Aug 5, 2012
Thanks. Jun 14, 2012
All 3 of these products I would highly recommend.
The Clearly Corrective seems to do exactly what it says it will. My dark sun spots have faded considerably! May 15, 2012
just on the dark spot or entire face? i have seen no results since december (4 months) Apr 12, 2013
I actually love this product, so I am sorry that you are not seeing results. The way that I use it is to apply a thin layer to my entire face by gently rubbing it in. I usually only need a few drops per application. I wear it under my moisturizer (I am currently using the Clearly Corrective Hydrating Moisture Emulsion, which may be helping.) Hope this helps. Apr 12, 2013
It permanently damaged by cheek.
I find it to be okay for hands. Jan 23, 2013
Mary Anne Aug 23, 2012
We?re confident you will see healthier, revitalized skin in 28 days. Guaranteed or your money back. Aug 8, 2012
I am old therefore my spots are also. Perhaps that makes a difference. Aug 6, 2012
It will also help with acne. It might be a good idea to ask your doctor since your medication is prescribed.
What I can tell you is that after 5 weeks, I no longer wear foundation and haven't for the past two weeks!! Nothing has ever worked like Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution! I will never stop using it and it's a good price for the amount you get! Jun 14, 2012
Sometimes also used in the first step after cleansing the skin, but still do not see a noticeable change. May 23, 2012
J Apr 1, 2013
Do I put it over all my face or just were I have dark spot marks? Same for my arms, all over or just were skin is damaged?
I read a comment on internet that putting it all over in the long term made color difference more evident ?!?!
Thank you Aug 22, 2012

Two leading Republican lawmakers said Tuesday that reports of chemical weapons use in Syria, if true, mean the president's threshold for involvement in the country's civil war has been met.
Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have led calls in Congress for greater U.S. involvement in Syria, issued a joint statement saying the attacks, if verified, would demand a response from President Barack Obama.
"If today's reports are substantiated, the President's red line has been crossed, and we would urge him to take immediate action to impose the consequences he has promised," the senators wrote.
Syrian state media cited government figures Tuesday who accused rebels of a deadly chemical weapons missile attack in the town of Khan al-Asal, in Aleppo province. Rebels rebuffed the claims and blamed the regime.
The town of Ateibeh, in eastern Damascus, also endured "fierce shelling with chemical rockets," an opposition group said. An unknown number of casualties were reported.
The attacks have not been confirmed by western governments, including Britain and the United States. But McCain and Graham said if they were true, a series of U.S. actions were necessary to prevent further violence in Syria.
"That should include the provision of arms to vetted Syrian opposition groups, targeted strikes against Assad's aircraft and SCUD missile batteries on the ground, and the establishment of safe zones inside Syria to protect civilians and opposition groups," McCain and Graham continued in their statement. "If today's reports are substantiated, the tragic irony will be that these are the exact same actions that could have prevented the use of weapons of mass destruction in Syria."
In the two years since Syrian rebels began trying to drive Assad from power, the United States has waded into the conflict incrementally. The U.S. government formally recognized the leading Syrian opposition coalition in December 2012, though stopped short of saying the U.S. would join other nations like Qatar in providing the rebels with weapons.
Obama laid out his barometer for greater action in Syria during a White House press conference in August, saying that "a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized."
"That would change my calculus," Obama said. "That would change my equation,"

First Volunteer Bank, formerly Gateway Bank, is traditionally the major sponsor of the event, and this year First Volunteer decided to add a $100 Visa Gift Card giveaway to the festivities.
"Without the great volunteers and our sponsor First Volunteer Bank, the event just could not be successful," said Dr. Ronal Graham, D.D.S., chairman of the Ringgold Convention and Visitors Bureau and volunteer coordinator of the Haunted Depot. "This year was very successful, and many of our local merchants took advantage of having so many people in town for three weekends. We have a wonderful downtown that we need to show off more. I want to thank everyone that visited the Haunted Depot, hayride, ghost walk or just came and enjoyed the entertainment. We hope everyone will make plans to return next year."
Angie Lovell brought her friends and family to the Haunted Depot and left $100 richer.
"I had a great time with my sons, Ethan and Noah, and friends, Alice and Lane," saidLovell, winner of a $100 Visa gift card. "This is the best haunted house I've been to in the Tennessee Valley. The price is very affordable, and the event is family-friendly. I'm very appreciative to the city and First Volunteer Bank for this prize. I will definitely be back next year, and my sons are looking forward to volunteering."
Mary Carpenter, vice president at First Volunteer, said that First Volunteer is glad to continue being a good corporate citizen to the city of Ringgold and the county.
"Just because the name changed, doesn't mean we will stop that. Our employees get involved and volunteer. That is important to the First Volunteer Bank culture to proudly support the communities in which they are located. There are 24 branches all across the state of Tennessee, with locations in Georgia. First Volunteer is a 108-year-old community bank. First Volunteer believes in keeping the money local and lending it back to the community."
The Ringgold Downtown Development Authority, or DDA, is the group that makes the Haunted Depot possible every year, and Ringgold City Council member Larry Black, who also servers as DDA chairman, is a big supporter.
"The DDA is trying to get people into Ringgold; the haunted depot has been successful every year, with great reviews from the public," he said. "We hope to continue to have family events every year."
The annual event ran for three consecutive weekends this year instead of the traditional two, and the money raised from the Haunted Depot goes toward running the Haunted Depot. The extra funds are used by the DDA for projects to beautify Ringgold and bring in more businesses to the city

On top of that, he says that there are CG videos of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Gamma, Amy and Big in their "classic forms", and that he has got'em from here,so they claim you've said that and distorting what Retro's Wiki says to give evidence to his words.Also uses Sonic Adventure's BETA screenshots to prove it ( that sky chase with saturn models scene...btw, I can't find it now at youtube, anyone can help? ).
I know it's utter bullshit,I know him and his tabloid site ( published before that Sega had confirmed SA2HD using as a proof a Sonic GDK image, made a "world exclusive" claiming Sega's recent reestructuration and financial cuts is beacuse they're going to release a new console called Orbis...), but now I'm curious to what extend did Sonic Adventure been developed in Saturn. I know the project of "Sonic RPG" started there, but how much of it was ported to dreamcast? I've always belived they just used the base engine and rough idea of how to make a 3D Sonic, but just that: nothing storywise, model wise, or textures. So it's not really Sonic Adventure itself, just it's prevolution.If the SATURN version could have been finished, it would be absolutely nothing like the Adventure we know nowdays...it would be probably something similat to Sonic World from Sonic Jam ( who in fact uses the early work made on the project for saturn)
It's really like that?
Let's discuss Sonic Adventure's development!

Hillary Clinton answered her critics. North Korea threatened theirs.
As the week comes to an end, here's a look back at these stories and other international news that developed, including a surprising election in Israel and a growing humanitarian crisis in Syria.
Clinton in Benghazi hot seat At times angry and choked with emotion, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared before two congressional committees Wednesday and answered questions about her department's handling of the attack that killed four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, in Benghazi, Libya, last year.
While Clinton was mostly calm and composed during the two hearings, which lasted more than five hours in all, she became visibly frustrated when Sen. Ron Johnson, a tea-party backed Wisconsin Republican, said the American public was deliberately misled.
"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans," Clinton said, banging her hand on the table. "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening."
What did we learn from Wednesday's testimony? Here are five of the key themes, including what Clinton did on the day of the attack.
Clinton also warned of a growing security threat in North Africa, saying there was "no doubt" that weapons from Libya were used in last week's attack on an Algerian natural gas plant.
Which leads to ...
The future of terrorism? There are still outstanding questions over the Algerian standoff, which resulted in the deaths of at least 37 hostages.
Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the North African branch of al Qaeda, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Algeria said the attack was retaliation for letting France use its airspace in its offensive against Islamist militants in Mali.
