Riding Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo and Lazio
Alps-aholics anonymous, no 12 steps here, the first step will get you in the club, we are at step six, and have no hope or desire for a cure. We have traveled to Europe to ride on two wheels six times now, doing our own planning and with Beachs Motorcycle Adventures, this trip is again with the Beachs, on their Italian Idyll tour. There is a definite advantage to the right tour, no hassle with airport transportation, bike rental, hauling lots of luggage around for two weeks, wondering if the place you plan to ride to has any suitable lodging, etc. Just get your plane ticket and pack your gear and be assured you will ride the best roads, stay in great locations, and get a GPS filled with four or five great routes for each day, developed over 38 years in business.
We left Thursday September 30 from Toronto and flew to Paris, where we grabbed the train and did the obligatory trip to the Eiffel Tower to take a picture or three, then stopped at a small sidewalk café, and shared a small pizza before hopping on the train to head back to the Airport and on to Florence.
We spent the next four nights at Rossis Villa in Tuscany. .................................................. ................................... No not THAT Rossi, but Rossi of Martini and Rossi fame.
Rob Beach, Gretchen and Scott the van driver, were staying at the villa just south of Florence Italy, for the week between tours, and, as we were arriving early, they invited us to stay in one of the unused rooms, until we all hit the roads for the two week tour, needless to say we took them up on their offer. We stayed in one of the smaller buildings.
The Villa dates back to the early 1300s, with some references as far back as the 1100s and last major renovation in the 1700s, The Villa is situated on a hill, with a beautiful view, of the surrounding valleys and vineyards, of course. . There is a working winery in the basement of the building we are staying and the musty aroma of winemaking filters through the Villa.

Saturday we slept in a little, as we were getting over the lack of sleep on the flights over, combined with jetlag. All was good anyway as it was a bit foggy and cool, so we took a little walk into town and purchased some supplies for the next few days, we stopped at the local department store to purchase some fresh tomatoes, romaine lettuce, peppers and other salad fixins. The store has a good selection of fresh vegetables, toys, kitchen supplies, and a large variety of sundries as well as a large book and magazine section, all in a building about 30 x 30 feet.
Then on to the Butcher shop, for some meat for dinner, the grocery store, for some sparkling water, and a fresh coffee cake for dessert, you can get almost anything you need in these three establishments, all the size of a typical American living room. After our shopping spree, it was time to stop at the bar, for our first cup of cappuccino, made like nowhere else but Italy, where true coffee drinker genuflect the coffee machines.
As the morning wore on the fog burned off so we grabbed the R1200GS that will be out wheels for the next two weeks. We loaded our cold and wet weather gear in the saddlebags, and I attached my tank bag and GPS. It is nice having the van to carry our clothes and extra gear, and not have to lug the bags up every night; in fact I hope I dont have to open the saddlebags again, until we are ready to pack for home. By the time we geared up, the sky was blue and bright, with a few scattered puffy clouds gracing the hills. Temps were about 70 degrees, perfect riding weather.
We headed NE from the Villa, to avoid the towns as much as possible. I have to say every time I start telling myself some of the roads in the Smokies are comparable, I simply blow away that myth in the first 20 kM. All I can say is in just an afternoon, I am well on my way to another FIX of European riding.
I had spotted a couple of small roads that looked promising on my detailed Michelin maps that I plugged into the GPS, and headed for. As we turned off the main road onto the first one, we soon passed a group of four sport bikes were heading in the other direction, a good sign for sure. As we continued along the sport bikes kept coming along, so I knew I was found what I was looking for, I was not disappointed. As the road started to go up, and the shifter was notched down, the road soon became tight and twisty, just like I like them. Settling in on 2nd gear, with just an occasional foray into 1st and 3rd, will tell you just how nice this road was, the corners had a nice rhythm of endless linked tight S turns, that just kept unfolding in front of us. If there is a motorcyclists heaven, then these hills are surely filled with kindred spirits dancing to the rhythms of the roads. I will say that there are stretches of fun pavement in the states, but they usually only last five to ten minutes, if you are lucky. The first road took about 45 minutes to traverse, and about 20 minutes to get acclimated to the different handling characteristics of the GS, and for me to start getting comfortable and loose the feeling I was learning to ride all over again. It is funny how ingrained our actions get, that when placed on something just a little different, we can feel like a baby just learning to walk, and our seemingly automatic inputs take some thought, until we overwrite the gray matter, and all is balanced in the world again.
We made a turn to the North on another, wonderful twist deserted piece of pavement, over Passo Della Calla, then I turned back to the SW, on what appeared to be a fairly straight road, but instead was a delightful stretch of pavement, think NC 28, on steroids, and two to three times longer, the rhythm only interrupted by some sparse traffic. As we got close to the villa again, I took some narrow roads that weaved in and out of vineyards, groves and farms with tractors hauling grapes in crates, picked fresh, headed to be crushed and fermented into fine wine.
We were riding about four hours and only covered 190km, or about 115 miles, and I was riding hard enough to make sure there were no chicken strips and to take a little material off the centerstand, of the tall GS. I know this does not sound like many miles, but believe me we were running a good clip, and only stopped for fuel and a couple of times for a picture or two, and to stretch our legs.
We stopped and purchased a couple of bottles of wine to have with the dinner made from the mornings shopping trip. After whetting our pallets with a little Grappa, while the meal was cooking. Finished off the night sipping on some local white wine, while typing this.

Sunday 10/3/10
The weather forecast sounded a little poor for today, but when I woke up to a bright morning sky, at 6 am, I was pleased. I felt rested, so I grabbed the camera and went for a morning walk, around the grounds and olive groves. As I stepped out the door I was hit by the sweet musty smell of the winery below, mixed with the fresh cool morning air The Olive, cedar and oak trees were filled with birds singing cheerfully in the misty morning sun.
After shooting a bunch of pictures, and having a pleasant stroll, I came back and started a pot of coffee; slowly the others emerged from their rooms. I grabbed a cup and went outside to sit, listening to the birdsong, and reading about the route options for the upcoming days. I grabbed my maps to look for a few small roads that we could ride for a couple of hours, as we had to be back early to go into Florence for a personal, guided walking tour of the old city, that Beach's arranged for the group and then dinner at night with the rest of the tour members. We again headed east, and into the hills, this time to the SE. Headed for one of the roads and again as we started to climb the forest got thicker, and the turns tighter, again great flow to the roads, and endless corners, on perfectly smooth pavement.
When it was time to head back another meandering road took us back into the valley, where we then followed another nice winding road back to the Villa in time to shower and look presentable for dinner.
We headed into Florence for a personal walking tour of the old city. The walking tour was conducted by a local art historian and provided us with some great insight and information about the history of the city and its contributions in history and to the arts. The freestanding dome of the Duomo in Florence was finished in the mid 1400's and took 16 years to complete, using 37,000 tons of material, including 4 million bricks!
Dinner was at a very nice restaurant in the middle of Florence, with some fine Local wine to complement the meal, and a final cordial of Grappa or Limoncello. The others on the tour seem like a laidback crowd, should be a perfect mix.
The interior of the restaurant.
Back to the Villa for a good nights sleep on a full stomach.

Monday October 4th.
Monday was a free day, reserved for people getting familiar with the bikes, terrain, and the protocols for European riding, like riding to the right, not down the middle N American style. Rob and Gretchen left the villa early to assign the others their bikes and to lead them on a ride, if they so desired, to advise and size up the skill and or needs of the riders. The wife and I took off for a ride to the North, the weather was threatening all morning, but again we found some excellent small roads. We stopped at a small Café for lunch and our luck, and dry weather ran out. We donned our rain gear and set off again, in a few miles we ran out of the rain and got some dry pavement again, for a little while, until finally the rain got steady for the hour or so back to the villa. Tomorrow we head out of Italy.
A view of the countryside.
Tuesday October 5th
It rained hard overnight with some lightning and thunder, but by morning there was some sun peaking out of the clouds. Today we hit the road and ride to a different country tonight, even though we are still in Italy. The destination for tonight is San Marino, one of the European micro states, that is all of 24 square miles of rock in the middle of central Italy. San Marino is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and the oldest constitutional republic in existence, and was founded in 301, no I didnt forget a 1, it is 301!
Cecilia and I took off to ride by ourselves, as we were advised that we probably kept a little faster pace than the other riders on tour, the freedom to do your own thing, is the great part of Beachs tours. We did know that the others were planning on stopping at the castle in Poppi, to sightsee and grab lunch, so we meandered along some smaller roads as we knew we would make better time than the rest. I hit some narrow twisty roads, but many were covered with leaves, pine needles and ripe chestnuts that were knocked down by the previous nights storm. . So a little slower pace as we tiptoed along the feeling out the traction of wet fallout.
By the time we hit Poppi the sun was bright and we sat outside the castle soaking up the warm sum. When the others arrived we wandered around inside the castle and climbed up the bell tour to look at the surrounding landscape. Then a short walk to a nice restaurant for lunch of pasta, of course.
View from tower
I usually look forward to the fine and tasty breads in Europe, but was disappointed by the breads I was being served at most places, but about half way through the tour someone explained that the bread is NOT for eating as a separate food, it is made to be used as a sponge to soak up the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato or bolognaise sauce.
We took off on our own again on some wonderful roads, I saw this on a hill.
So I went to pull over on the side of the road , on what looked like some sand, as I pulled in the front end started to wash on what was wet clay and slicker than monkey snot, my mad skills (Dumb ass luck) kept the bike upright. I had the wife get off, and slowly peddled the bike out.

As we would find on this trip many of the cities are built on a hill tops, most were walled cities, built to defend its residents. Once we left Italy and navigated into San Marino we began to climb, and went as far as we could drive toward the top of town, to the motels parking area.
San Marino from a distance (On top of the hill)
View from the Hotel
This is where the van delivering the luggage to your room is nice, as we had a 1/3 mile uphill hike from the bike to our hotel, but out suitcase was waiting for us in the room. A quick shower and a couple of beers before dinner, than a fine five course dinner with some great wine, and again finished off with either Grappa or Limoncello. Then off for a good night sleep on a full stomach.
Next morning walked to the top and had to envy the view these workman had while doing their job.

Wed Oct 7th.
At dinner last night, Rob mentioned another unlikely charger in the group. The California couple that everyone tagged the Harley couple had showed a proclivity to riding at a spirited pace. We were both planning on doing the long route, so we suggested we ride together to our next nights stay. At breakfast, Rob said he was heading the same route, so we all decided to run in a three bike group. All I can say is never judge a book by its cover, as the Harley couple had mad skills. At the end of the day their center stand had lost about as much material as mine. Nothing is more fun than running hard with equally skilled riders.
We stopped at this fort, which in the past had allowed people to wander around inside, but this day was closed tight. We went to the little alimentary (grocery) and picked up some meat, cheese, bread, fruit, and chocolate and set out to find a place for a picnic lunch.
We found this field adjacent to a mausoleum/cemetery, and enjoyed a nice relaxing lunch, and 10 minute nap.
Our destination was Spello, Italy a, you guessed it , city on a hill. The highly rated restaurant at the Hotel was closed for the night, so a few of us walked down through the old town for dinner that night. And a half mile uphill walk back to the hotel, to work off the meal.
Thursday Oct 8th
Spello was a two night stay, and the next morning was sunny with a little fog.

Thursday Oct 8th
A nice breakfast and the wife and I suited up to do a little loop. We decided to go up to Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, and home of Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi.
We then wandered through town, grabbed our first gelato of the trip for lunch, as we had a big dinner scheduled at the hotels very popular and highly rated restaurant that evening.
The wife wandered in and out of some shops, and I decided to people watch on the street. As I was leaning against a building on the street, I suddenly felt a PLOP glance my neck and land on my shoulder, as a pigeon decided it did not like me standing beneath its perch. The wife got quite a chuckle; I wish I had a gun.
We went back to the bike and made our exit by driving through the old town, in spite of the local traffic only signs, we were on a BMW with German plates, so instead of people thinking were inconsiderate Americans, they thought we were arrogant Germans.
We made loop to the west and then back up to Spello from the South, and got back early afternoon. .
The hotel and restaurant in Spello.
We thought we would do some shopping in town, but when we got back we sat in the garden, ordered a beer and relaxed, with this view.
Decided we would take a short nap before shopping, a couple hours later we woke up, with only time to get ready for another great five course meal, with wine selected by the chef, and finished off with another round of limoncello and Grappa. The wife was so impressed with the limoncello, she asked the waiter to bring a full bottle, which made it home intact.

OK - COMPLETELY enjoying your trip through Italy! My wife and I were in some of those places ourselves a few years ago. Simply great.
We're both agreed we need to do a trip like yours, though - on a bike. I was sorely tempted 2 months ago while in Munich to rent a bike for a day and hit the roads, but alas, meetings, dinners, drinking and pre-Oktoberfest parties sapped my time away...
Lovin' the trip report - thanks for sharing. :)

Very very nice, thanks for sharing your experiences.
In 2007 I took the Alps East tour with Rob & Gretchen, wonderful people and a life altering experience.
Next summer I plan to ship a bike over and spend 6-8 weeks touring........ some of that time will be spent in Tuscany. That's a great picture of Rob napping, now let's see a few of Gretchen!!

Gore-Tex in REV'IT Products
I was waiting for that question to be asked
Like many manufacturers without a Gore-Tex license of so long, REV'IT!'s internally developed HydraTex liners perform extremely well in the waterproof / breathable liner arena because they have to. For this level of product, sub-par weatherproofing performance simply is not an option. In short REV'IT!'s in-house liners let water vapor (sweat) out without letting water droplets in in the same manner ar Gore-Tex.
While Gore-Tex was the pioneer in developing these type of products and membranes, as most current REV'IT! customers can attest, the waterproof / breathable properties of the current lineup are nothing short of outstanding.
The Gore-Tex liners will most likely make their way into the REV'IT! lineup at the top end and then eventually trickle down into the mid range products over time. If they replaced the HydraTex in all of the garments out of the gates consumers would realize an immediate price increase across the board just based on newly incurred manufacturing and licensing costs.
While it is exciting to see the premier Gore-Tex materials exclusively used in an already premium brand, the difference in performance by Gore-Tex's inclusion will not be dramatic or create immediate obsolecense of previous years models (e.g. Cayenne Pro, Navigator etc)
Don't get me wrong its a great addition and of course the die hard Gore-Tex guys will be pleased - but it should not take anything away from the percieved performance or value of the current product line.
Personally I am much more excited about a rumor of Gore-Tex's potential new functional technologies aside from the liner which may or may not end up in 2010 or 2011 gear.
My two cents.
I hope this gives some reassurance to anyone who recently bought a REV'IT! all season product. When I saw the press release I expected more than a few ears to perk up.
Anthony .... still from my Honeymoon ;-)

Try this:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Maybe you're a pretty experienced sailor and you've sailed in lots of magic places, but here's one that you may not have experienced. A cruising rally in the Canary Islands could fulfill many dreams even for the well-experienced roving sailor - fantastic anchorages, interesting overnight sails, exotic touring in active volcanic lands. It's run by Sunsail in F40s, developed from the Beneteau First 40 specially for Sunsail.
Artist Cesar Manriqui's design for Lanzarote: white houses with blue trim (for seaside) or green trim(for country) makes the island into a living work of art.
Canary Islands Cruising Rally - delightfully remote anchorages
What better way to experience the Canary Islands than cruising in company from Island to Island?
Canary Islands Cruising Rally
The Cruising Rally takes in Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife over a two week period, and includes four free sailing days giving you the chance to explore the amazing islands on land or water.
You will sail in company with other yachts, experiencing a mix of short island hops and long distance passages with one overnight passage.
The Sunsail F40 is based and developed on the Beneteau First 40 and is the ultimate in performance racer, having won Crossover boat of the year in 2009 as well as in the same year taking both first and second in the IRC division of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart race, making these boats very much proven performers.
Canary Islands cruising rally - the F40 from above
The yachts come as a three cabin, single head layout and have a large wheel, spacious open cockpit and large sail plan ideally suited to all sailing activities. In addition to the standard specifications the yachts also come with heating, chartplotter and autopilot.
Canary Islands Cruising Rally
The yachts are sailing from the UK for the rallies, and it is also possible to join the sail from the UK to the Canaries, departing on 22nd October. There will be at least two departures of the rallies, in December 2011 and January 2012, before the yachts return to the UK again, arriving by 10th March 2012. While in the Canaries, the yachts will be based at Marina Rubicon, a very modern facility on the island of Lanzarote.
Garden of the Volcano Museum on Lanzarote
Don't want to charter a yacht yourself? Not experienced? You can also apply to join as an individual. For all information contact your local Sunsail representative.

I really hope this is the first gen with an evil professor and possibly an evil (or at least Silver-esque) rival.
For one thing, they like strength. In Pokemon games, this is a sign that you are literally worse than the devil. The rival is all mysterious and shit, but he's a childhood friend, so I don't know if they'll go the anime route of an evil childhood friend or not but hey, whatever.
The professor, on the other hand, is just a Team boss waiting to happen. Look at this motherfucker. He's ~mysterious~ and you can't quite put your finger on him in addition to researching strength, strike 1. His name is apparently taken from "achromatic", which is just begging to be an evil pun so that's strike 2. Most damning of all, he looks like Albert Wesker, strike 3.

Games for the Nintendo 64 with the numbers 64 after the title to denote that it is, in fact, a 64-bit game for the Nintendo 64.
A term that can refer to either games which feature 3D polygonal graphics but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane, or earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
An illusive effect in games with 2D graphics where a character attacks the player so that it seems like the attack came from either behind or in front of the screen.
8-bit can be a reference to actual computing power, or it can be a retro look for videogames that want to recall a bygone era.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Air moving with a considerable force from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. Used in games to slow things down, speed them up, or make them hover.
A quick burst of speed either forward or backward whilst in the air.
Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
An often used plot device where the main character wakes up and has lost all their memories. The game usually centers around getting your memory back or uncovering the events that lead to your confusion.
This concept occurs in many RPGs and Sci-Fi games. The Ancient Advanced Civilization Technology is often a giant weapon (Halo Rings, Giant of Babil, etc.) that becomes a major plot focus in the stories of these games.
In some games, usually RPGs, they have a boss of the game to be a angel or appearance of an angelic-like being.
A special remake, re-release, collection, or installment of a series that celebrates a milestone.
Games where characters have a cannon for an arm.
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, commonly refers to the programmed behaviors of NPCs in a game, whether it's the fact that a soldier takes cover behind a wall in Gears of War, or that townspeople cheer upon your arrival to their village in Fable.
Some games don't feature a traditional co-op mode that makes the players equal partners, but allows a second player to participate in the game to assist player one albeit with significantly different gameplay mechanics.
Attachments are objects in video games that augment the user's abilities.
In parapsychology and many forms of spiritual practice an aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object like the halo or aureola of religious art.
Auto-aiming (or Auto-targeting) allows for a character to attack or interact with an object or enemy that's very near to the player or within their field of vision.
Levels that progress forward by themselves at a fixed rate.
Videogame bosses, generally enormous ones, that take up the entire background of the screen you fight them on, usually only extending the body parts they attack with (and for some reason, their weak point) into the foreground where the player can interact with them.
Bats are small flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
A mechanic used mainly in Japanese RPGs of both the action and turn-based variety.
Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.
A proprietary video codec (.bik extension) developed by RAD Game Tools and used in a very large number of video games.
The minions of Glyde, they rival the Servebots in size and purpose, but are far more aggressive.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
A board game is a game played on a mostly-static surface using markers or chits to indicate player progress. Many video game board games are based on tabletop games (Catan, Monopoly), but some, like Mario Party and Culdcept, are original designs that use board game design as a starting point.
Boost takes a game to a new level giving players a greater level of speed. This speed opens up new doors to sports games, driving games, and any game that can benefit from the reward of speed.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.

This is so powdery looking on me I think it might look better on ladies with oily skin. I'll stick with my Merle Norman Purely Mineral Powder which goes on creamy and dewy and the shimmer is light.

I don't know quite why, but this made my face itch & burn pretty much immediately, especially in the creases of my nose and around my mouth. I didn't have time to wash it off so I just dealt with it for 8 hrs :-/ Too bad... The finish was nice and coverage was great! Sensitives proceed w/caution...

I love Alima pure cosmetics. They really know what they are talking about when it comes to cosmetics. I love that they have so many color selections (I think its 60-80) for my fair complexion. Most cosmetics, even BM fair, made me look shiny and fake. This caused me to hate wearing make up and found it to be less helpful than helpful. I also have acne prone skin and anything I put on it clogs my pores and breaks me out. Alima does not since there is only 3 ingredients in their products. I love that they match your skin type with a specific blush that makes my skin glow and I look healthy. There is no sheen or shimmer to their foundation, which I really like cause it is more natural. Their customer service is very helpful and friendly. The only downside is that if you don't live in Oregon you have to do mail order. One tip with this foundation is to use a good finishing powder before you apply the foundation (one like makeupforever HD finishing powder) it creates a nice canvas for the foundation to go on flawlessky since it does not absorb oil well. I love this product!

It is with much regret that I write this review. I might also add that this is somewhere near my third ammendment to this review. I wanted to like this stuff so badly, and on rare occasions, I did. I've gone through so many sample shades of this. Every time I think I've found the correct shade, I order a large jar. I currently have 4 and none of them, I find, is the perfect shade. I don't have the heart to try any more. Furthermore, I find the finish is too 'satiny'. I want to blot my face when I have this on, but there is nothing to blot, that's just the finish. My husband told me thie other night that I looked sweaty. Also, I have read reviews that found that this stuff oxidizes and I agree 100%. What looks good mid-day looks far too orange or dark by the end of the night. I so wanted this to work because I fel it was better for my complexion but even that I didn't find to be true, still suffered minor breakouts when wearing this, no skin clearing. On a positive note, they do have exceptional customer service and I enjoy some of their other shadows and blushes. This foundation was just too much work/effort for me.

I've had such a great experience so far, I feel compelled to write this review. After not wearing any type of foundation (liquid, mineral, or otherwise), I decided it was time to give mineral makeup another go. I wanted something very light and natural. I ordered 2 sample colors, and was floored by the large sample sizes and promtness of delivery. I put the foundation on, and it was like magic! You can't tell I'm wearing anything heavy, yet I'm getting compliments left and right about how I look "glowing", "have great skin", etc. I placed my order for a full-sized jar immediately! I typed my address wrong while placing the order, and had the pleasure of speaking with someone very nice on the phone, who got everything corrected for me. I've very glad I found this company!
PROS: Great company, natural ingredients
CONS: Not heavy coverage, so many not be the best choice for everyone.

Good coverage

I really wanted to like this. As many others have said, Alima are a great company to deal with and their "Ask the Artist" service is genius! Thanks to that I managed to find a really good colour match (Beige 2, I'm NW20).
I know others are positively evangelical about this foundation but I want my foundation to work for me, not the other way round! I shouldn't have to change my whole skin care regime just to make it work. And some of it I couldn't change even if I wanted to - as an ex-skin cancer sufferer SPF30 all year round is non-negotiable.
I do love the finish of this when it first goes on. The downsides are that as a rosacea sufferer the coverage is WAY too light - 4 layers later & the redness still shows. And after 2 hours the foundation has all but vanished.
I would love to say this is my HG but sadly it's not.

I've never gotten the hang of liquid foundations, plus I'm oily, so I've always preferred powder foundations. I used to be a MAC Studio Fix girl once upon a time, then used BE for about five years until I decided the color was all wrong and I hated the little mica sparkles. I tested samples of Alima's Beige 0, Natural 1 and 2, and Cool 2. They looked pretty darn similar, but in the end, Cool 2 won. (I'm NW15 for reference.) I adore the way it looks and wears (over primer). No chalkiness, no glittery crap, no color shift, no patchiness, no settling into fine lines. Bonus: Alima is an eco-responsible company with great service. I've heard they offer custom mixes if you're having trouble finding a shade match.

I suppose I am one of few oily girls who actually really likes the "BE-like" sheen to my MMU, and this foundation definitely doesn't offer that. But the eco-friendliness + great coverage + mattifying factors almost make up for that. What I have been doing is adding a couple of scoops of the Silk Naturals Glow Base to this, plus a scoop of SN buttery yellow to darken/boost the color (closest to my almost exact NC25 color in Alima is Warm 3, but it is slightly too neutral and the SN base is white, so it needs a kick). Kind of a pain, but it is looking good so far. I probably will repurchase, but I may try the SN kit on it's own first while I continue my search for the perfect full-coverage/extremely mattifying/glowy real skin looking but without fillers MMU!

Best Mineral Powder Foundation I have found, It has really good coverage and never ever makes me breakout or worsen any existing pimples. It also only has something like 4 ingredients which is awesome and doesn't cotain bismuth which alot of other mineral powders do (bismuth gives me an itchy red rash, like alot of people). My skin can get a lil dry when wearing this but i have extremely dry skin and this happens with any pwder! The only other bad thing is that when it get's really hot here i tend to sweat on my upper lip (major bloody SULA!!! :) Wild Child ) It can ball up and turn a bit white but nothing too major just have to wipe and blend back in! There is something like 60 shades and I am so lucky that I Got my PERFECT shade on the first try, I did sit there for half an hour staring at all the choices wondering which one to get hehe, It is matte but when I spray a spritz on it (mario badescu - the orange one) it goes kinda dewy and nice but i don't mind either way! Overall awesome foundation - My HG foundation for my acne-prone skin!!!!
Oh and I have read sooo many helpful reviews on this website - probably 1000s so thanks and i hope this review helps someone! YAYYYY to my first ever review!!! :D

What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda translates to "knowledge of life." Based on the idea that disease is due to an imbalance or stress in the individual's consciousness, Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions and natural therapies to regain a balance between the body, mind, and the environment.
Ayurveda treatment begins with an internal purification process, followed by a special diet, herbal remedies, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. Studies have shown reductions in blood pressure, cholesterol, and reaction to stress in people who practiced Ayurvedic methods.
In India, Ayurveda is considered a form of medical care, equal to conventional Western and homeopathic medicine. Practitioners of Ayurveda in India undergo state-recognized, institutionalized training. However, Ayurvedic practitioners are not licensed in the United States.
Ayurveda can have positive effects when used as a complementary therapy in combination with standard/conventional medical care.

I became concerned reading the Margaretta school district's "Save our Bears" brochure. There was no continuity of school districts between the four included charts. In one a map was used of adjoining districts with taxes based on a $150,000 house. In the next, other school districts taxes were listed based on a $100,000 house. The amounts did not break out the taxes paid for bond issues or income taxes dedicated to building construction, which are of a limited duration. in the "revenue per pupil" and "expenditures per pupil" charts, only schools were compared which show the Margaretta district favorably. I do not believe this is ethical. This levy deserves to be decided based on facts, not spin.
To get the facts, i accessed the 2008 financial data of all school districts adjoining margaretta on the Ohio Department of Education's Web site. i also included Berlin-Milan, as the Margaretta brochure did. I then compared these seven districts: Margaretta, Perkins, Sandusky, Fremont, Bellevue, Berlin-Milan and Clyde.
Margaretta is second among the above seven in expenditure per pupil, behind only Sandusky, and fourth in local revenue, solidly in the middle -- yet Margaretta states all extracuriculars will be cut if the levy fails. Why aren't the other districts going to their voters for additional taxes with dire warnings?
Passage of the 8.37-mill operating levy will give the Margaretta district the highest tax rate of the above seven districts, and probably result in Margaretta having the highest expenditure per pupil of all above districts. I say probably, because if the levy passes, Margaretta will get less financial support from the state.
One of the facts which never apears in print is the disregard for the residents of the former Townsend district. Townsend school, which has more usable space and ameneties, and is in better condition, than either of the three-story buildings in Castalia, was closed. Students are in portable classrooms just outside Castalia. Townsend, which will comfortably hold 425 students plus a large cafeteria, and a large gym with stage, is rented out. it seems the community that the board and administration are appealing to be saved is centered around the duck pond. Remember why Venice voted to leave Margaretta and join Sandusky? Contrast this with nearby Clyde schools, which preserved the Green Springs community's pride when the Green Springs district was annexed and is building a new elementary school in Green Springs.
If the Margaretta district fails, as the board is threatening, it will be of its own actions.

hey! hows it goin?!
Subscription ended on July 1st. :( My name is Cameron. I am a very down to earth kind of guy. I'm always up for trying new things! Im definitely not like most guys my age. I would say I act a lot older than I really am. I've been like that most of my life. I completed my Associates Degree back in March 2011 and have been working full time while figuring out the right career path. I just need to find a career that make me excited to go to work everyday! I am very close to my family and I cherish every moment I am with them. My faith is very important to me and I would never give it up for anything because I wouldn't be who I am today without it. In my high school days I was very involved with the youth group at my church. It was always a blast volunteering for retreats and conventions! They were some of the best times I will never forget! I also have been a choir guy since 7th grade so I was in multiple choir groups in both junior high, high school, and even a university choir for a year. It has always been a fun hobby and it is where I met some of my closest friends. I've been around cars my whole life so I love the summer time because it's when i can take my 1967 Mercury Cougar out to car shows and just go cruising around town. I'm a real easy person to talk to once you get to know me. I'm really not sure what im looking for in a girl other than someone who is very down to earth and easy to talk to. I would love to find someone with similar interests as me as well as different interests I find would be exciting to learn more about! Like I said before, I'm always up for trying new things! Feel free to message me if you want to know more! I would love to chat with you!

Burnside Bridge Repair
June 26, 2014
Repair Work Has Started on the Historic Burnside Bridge
National Park Service
In January of 2014 a section of the stone facing on the upstream side of the Burnside Bridge collapsed into Antietam Creek. The National Park Service Historic Preservation Training Center will begin repairing the bridge this week. The Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) was founded in 1977 to meet the growing demand for craft skills development for NPS employees tasked with preserving the thousands of historic structures within the National Park System. HPTC is currently located in Frederick, Maryland within the Monocacy National Battlefield.
The repairs to the Bridge will include:
1. Remove the wood coping and dismantle the parapet associated with the damaged area to sound masonry.
When complete, the repairs will have corrected the most extreme deficiencies of the January blowout and larger protrusion in the upstream spandrel wall, while also preserving the historic detailing and character defining features of the Burnside Bridge.
Once all stones have been reset and repairs completed, the stonework shall be repointed in a way that replicates the same finish as the rest of the structure's mortar joints. An estimated 300 to 400 linear feet of pointing will be required. HPTC will document all existing conditions and on-going stabilization efforts including weekly reports, photographic narrative, archival research, field sketches, and measured drawings. The repairs are expected to be completed by the fall of this year.
Later this summer there will be a complete assessment of the bridge conducted under a separate contract with an architectural/engineering firm to determine if additional work is needed for the long term preservation of this critically important resource at the battlefield.
March 28, 2014
March 17, 2014
The NPS will also be conducting an engineering condition assessment of Burnside Bridge this spring to determine what additional work needs to be done to ensure the long-term stability and preservation of this important structure.
Many people have expressed an interest in donating to the NPS to help pay for the repair work. Donations may be made directly to Antietam National Battlefield, with the specification that they be used for the bridge project.

Documentary VALENTINE ROAD Heading to Sundance Film Festival
HBO Documentary Films and Bunim/Murray Productions are heading to Sundance with VALENTINE ROAD, an official selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in U.S. Documentary Competition. HBO Documentary Films has worldwide television rights to the feature documentary.
A directing debut from first time filmmaker Marta Cunningham and produced by Sasha Alpert (HBO's AUTISM: THE MUSICAL) and Eddie Schmidt (HBO'S TWIST OF FAITH), VALENTINE ROAD is a powerful and complex film that unravels the tragic murder of a teenager, who had begun experimenting with his gender identity, by a fellow student at an Oxnard, California middle school. The film explores the circumstances that led to the crime as well as its complex aftermath. Ultimately VALENTINE ROAD is a story of two victims-the deceased and the murderer-whose paths led them to this tragic incident.
"As we experienced with AUTISM: THE MUSICAL, HBO is an amazing partner and their support for VALENTINE ROAD ensures that we will be able to reach the broadest audience possible for our film," said Alpert. "VALENTINE ROAD's focus on gender discrimination and the tragedy that occurred as a result of easy access to firearms, topics that sadly remain all too relevant, epitomizes what we are trying to do with BMP Films. It is no doubt why it became an official selection for the Sundance Film Festival U.S. Documentary Competition," added Jonathan Murray, Chairman Bunim/Murray Productions.
VALENTINE ROAD is a BMP Films production in association with Eddie Schmidt Productions. Executive Producers are Jonathan Murray and Gil Goldschein.
About Bunim/Murray Productions
Bunim/Murray Productions is the leading producer of innovative entertainment content. The Emmy Award-winning company is widely credited with creating the reality television genre with its hit series The Real World (27 seasons for MTV). Bunim/Murray Productions has also produced films, including Pedro (MTV) and the Emmy Award-winning Autism: The Musical (HBO). Based in Van Nuys, CA, Bunim/Murray Productions was founded in 1987 by Jonathan Murray and the late Mary-Ellis Bunim, who were inducted into the Television Academy of Arts & Science's Hall of Fame in 2012. The company joined Banijay Group in 2010.

Advice & Support
Sensual exercises may help you enjoy sexual intimacy and find
satisfaction after a
spinal cord injury (SCI). You may find that your old
methods of finding satisfaction still work or that they no longer do. Doing
sensual exercises with your partner may help you relax and focus more on the
pleasurable touching of lovemaking than on sexual intercourse or orgasm.
Because of the lack of movement and feeling you may have, finding and
getting into comfortable positions can be difficult. It is important to
experiment with this. Bulletin boards on many SCI Web sites provide a forum
where people with SCIs and their partners post information about their level of
injury and what works for them. See the Other Places to Get Help section of the
topic Living With a Spinal Cord Injury.
Sensual exercises may be most helpful if done in a soothing,
relaxing, and playful atmosphere. First, do your bowel and bladder program to
avoid any accidents, and then put on some pleasant music, turn off the phone,
and concentrate on your partner. The goal is to find sexual activity that is
interesting, enjoyable, and mutually pleasurable. Your level of injury will
probably affect what you can do in the following suggestions.

Thomas, I would also agree with this. Art has many perspectives.
The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention
