U.S. officials report that Netanyahu the Israeli Prime Minister has formally asked the Defense Secretary Panetta to approve the sale of GBU-28 bunker buster bombs to Israel. These bombs could be used in an attack on Iran.
In added pressures President Obama according to reports told Panetta to work directly with Israeli officials and to consider the request favorably. The aim is to send the weapons as soon as possible.
Along with the refueling aircraft, also requested, the bunker bombs would be key to any Israeli attack on Iran. Many Iranian nuclear facilities are highly reinforced.
Israel did receive some of the bombs in 2009 but receiving more has not just practical value but also is symbolic in that Obama can be seen as on side with the hawkish Netanyahu government.
Although Obama has so far opted for diplomacy and severe sanctions he has also said that he will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. In particular he rejected the idea of containment of a nuclear Iran. This certainly keeps an attack on the table. Sending bunker-bombs is also a sign of support for an attack on Iran.
At present however Iran has agreed to negotiations and also has agreed to let IAEA inspectors in to a secret military facility. For more see this article.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure
Since I am writing this review, I am also publicly confessing to having spent two hours watching Cliffhanger. After this, nothing I suffer in life can be a humiliation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting action flick, though not up to DIE HARD,
A previous reviewer called CLIFFHANGER a "guilty pleasure," and that is pretty much the way I see the film.
CLIFFHANER was a return to action form for its star Sylvester Stallone, after he had made his indelible mark on the genre with his RAMBO trilogy in '80s. His character here, Gabe Walker, is drastically scaled-down, befitting the film's "high" concept, which is basically "DIE HARD on a mountain."
Okay, so the premise (which is actually credited in this movie to a man named John Long) is not breathtakingly original---a nasty group of robbers led by evil Eric Qualen (John Lithgow, effectively playing his role to the hilt) lose three cases of American money in the Rockies and force Walker and companion Hal Tucker (Michael Rooker, he of HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER) to help them find it. Director Renny Harlin---who also directed DIE HARD 2---brings all his action expertise to bear on the thin plot and actually succeeds in crafting a good action film out of it. He was lucky in getting cinematographer Alex Thomson on his team, and Thomson makes the most of the Italian Dolomites (standing in for the Rockies) mountain settings by creating shots that revel in its scenic grandeur and impart an appropriately dizzying sense of vertigo to the proceedings. And Harlin uses his penchant for fast action pacing to good effect here, generating an exciting sense of momentum that hardly ever lets up until the final showdown.
So, as action entertainment, CLIFFHANGER can be counted as a success. So why do I find it a "guilty" pleasure rather than simply a pleasure? Well, I have to admit that I found some of the violence in the second half of the film a little too much at times---not only gratuitous but sometimes downright brutal. The first half of the film is much more discreet with the bloodshed, relying more on genuine suspense-building and awesome special effects and stunts to make its proper effect (the first twelve-minute sequence is arguably the last word in sweat-inducing suspense and mounting tension). In the second half, though, the script (credited to Michael France and Stallone) and director let rip with gory abandon, and thus we get images of a black bad guy getting skewered upon a stalactite by the hero, and scenes like Tucker being kicked in the ribs and nose like a soccer ball for a good minute or so by a British terrorist (with some tasteless slo-mos to draw out the grand brutality). Did we really need to be subjected to such witless violence? Do the filmmakers assume that we are all so base in our tastes that we actually get turned on by this bloody stuff? Well, who knows? Maybe they have a point there, since I admit that the first time I saw this film I was shocked but hardly appalled by the violence on offer here. It is only after having seen it a few times since then that I am starting to question the validity of the violent scenes on offer here. Harlin started the film out so well, but then, after about an hour or so, it turns into a second-rate one-upping of icicle-in-the-eye scene in his superior DIE HARD 2.
Notwithstanding my unease about the violence in this movie, though, it must be said that CLIFFHANGER works. It is sometimes very exciting and suspenseful, the performances basically get the job done, and overall this is one of the better DIE HARD clones, thanks to some great cinematography and noteworthy action scenes. If neither of the first two DIE HARD films are available for rental, this will fit the bill. Just don't be surprised, after it is over, if you feel a little guilty about having enjoyed it as much as you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cliffhanger a blockbuster hit!!,
This review is from: Cliffhanger (VHS Tape)
CliffHanger made in 1993 is one of the most exciting action films on screen. The stunts and location in the movie are unbelievable.
It stars Sylvester Stallone as Gabriel Walker, and (Michael Rooker)as Hal Tucker as 2 climbing experts whose friendship comes to an end, when Tucker's girlfriend , Sarah
falls to her death while climbing when Gabe tries to rescue her. Tucker blames Walker for the accident and hasn't forgiven him ever since.
Jess Dieghan ( Janine Turner) plays Gabriel girlfriend and coworker on these hi-risk rock climbing jobs.
The basic plot in CliffHanger is that a group of terrorists led by a madman named Qualin (John Lighgow) are stealing money from the Treasury Department and making their escape through an airplane. Mr. Travers is the Treasury Agent who is assigned the task of showing an FBI agent, Mr. Mateson, how to find the sum of money that was stolen from Treasury department. However, Mr. Mateson's true job is to find the traitor inside the Treasury Department. It just so happens that Mr. Mateson, is on the same airplane that the terrorist, and the traitor
is, and in a really great scene, blows away a couple of the terrorists and puts their plan to steal the money on hold.
Eventually, Mr. Qualin and his remaining terrorists friends escape, but not before the money they stole gets tossed into the icy mountains below them. Qualin and his friends, stranded on the mountains, and angry about losing their money, come up a with a plan to get back.
They pretend to be stranded on the mountains, and call in a rescue team to get them, and to eventually force them to get their money.
The rescue team answers and you guessed it, it's Gabe Walker and his ex friend Hal Tucker who answer the call.
Now the action really stars and Gabe, and his friends must try to find a way to stop the madman Qualin and his terrorists.
There are really some amazing stunts in Cliffhanger. There are great action scenes, including a big avalanche scene, there is also a great scene in which Gabe literally
surfs on the ice while avoiding the machine gun bullets of the terrorists chasing them.
Stallone's character, Gabe is also a very smart guy, he comes up with some pretty good plans to foil Qualin's plan, while at the same time using his strong muscles as an added weapon. Stallone is his usual calm and cool self, delivering the smart, but lethal Walker, and gives his character some depth throughout the movie.
John Lighgow is also great as Qualin. Litghow has made a good career playing the psycho. In the memorable Ricochet, his acting as the psychotic left a lasting impression with me.
Now there's probably some people who already have seen Cliffhanger before, but the DVD delivers the movie in a way you haven't seen before
Dvd features:
* Trailer
*Special look at the special
effects of the movie
*Deleted scenes
The movie was directed by Renny Harlin, another one of those directors that don't get the spotlight but who have directed many blockbuster movies including:
*Die Hard 2
Furthermore, the hits that Harlin has directed have been made into
games: Cliffhanger was made for the Sega Genesis, Supernes and Gameboy. The games for it, are actually pretty good. Likewise Die Hard 2 was made for the pc and Playstation, along with Driven for the Gameboy Advance.
So Cliffhanger is an awesome movie, and now with the special DVD for it, it's definitely worth seeing once again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Action Thriller,
By A Customer
I don't understand why this movie has got such poor aver rating(3.5stars) and about those worst xxx awards.
This is one of the BEST action films i have ever seen.
picturization is superb.
It stands as one of the few movies i ever want to watch again and again.
4.0 out of 5 stars A non-stop express thriller,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cliffhanger (DVD)
This film is an action-packed, rapid transit express that races along on its almost two-hour non-stop journey about mountain climbing, double-crosses and murder. The movie's opening rescue sequence is both thrilling and horrifying in its unfolding drama and sets the tone for the rest of the film. Gabe Walker is a believable hero, subdued and sensitive but tough in the clutch and gets a great assist from girlfriend Jessie who understands the reasons why Gabe is haunted by the demons of guilt. John Lithgow again is a suave villain, an evil mastermind who watches his master plan spin out of control as bad luck and bad weather conspire to thwart his grand design. Lithgow has plenty of help from a motley crew of killers and vicious types who try to outdo each other for sheer brutality and end up snarling at one another like the jackals they are. Great stunt work and Italian Alpine vistas add realism to the movie.
4.0 out of 5 stars Stallone's Best Action in Years,
Best watched with minimal expectations. The action scenes are great. The movie is basically Die Hard in the mountains or Point Break with mountain climbing. The plot, however, doesn't make a bit of sense, so its just best to ignore it. Several obvious questions spring instantly to mind. Why are there so many henchmen in the 2nd plane? It's essentially a getaway vehicle. Why are they so well armed? All the agents are on the hijacked plan. Why do they carry cold weather clothing? They're on a plane. Enjoy the scenery.
3.0 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure,
Nicholas Stix (New York City/Queens) - See all my reviews
Since I am writing this review, I am also publicly confessing to having spent two hours watching Cliffhanger. After this, nothing I suffer in life can be a humiliation.
This movie received four Razzie nominations: Worst picture of the year, worst screenplay (Sylvester Stallone), worst supporting actress (Janine Turner) and worst supporting actor (John Lithgow). There are a couple of injustices here: Stallone was denied his rightful, annual Razzie nomination for worst actor. The jury must have been stacked with Stallone fans that year. And I enjoyed Lithgow's over-the-top turn as the leader of the crooks.
But you can't argue with Janine Turner's (Northern Exposure) nomination: I could have given a better and sexier performance as a female, in spite of being a bit, shall we say, well-nourished, and having a mustache.
This movie made a ton of money, which also makes sense. It's entertaining. Director Renny Harlin knows how to make action thrillers. In this one, the Treasury Department is transporting over $150 million in $1000 bills by jet; a band of crooks aims to rob the couriers. The money ends up on the snowy side of a mountain, so the crooks kidnap world-class mountain rescue experts Sylvester Stallone and Michael Rooker, to track it down.
Norman Kent and Alex Thomson's cinematography is breathtaking, the stunts are truly death-defying, and some of the actors are good, most notably Rooker, Ralph Waite (as a rescuer), Lithgow and Rex Linn (as a treasury agent).
Since we live in a therapeutic society, I can't take responsibility for my actions -- it was all my 3-year-old son's fault. The movie came on late at night, after he had woken up (and while I was supposed to be working), and he insisted we see it together. It turns out, his judgment was excellent, as Cliffhanger is perfectly suited for the sensibility of a three-year-old boy.
In case you have too much money on your hands, you can order this from Amazon. If your neighbors see you taking the video package from your mailbox, you can just say, "Oh, I thought I'd finally give Gone with the Wind a shot."
Should you decide, instead, to rent Cliffhanger from a video store, you might try a trench coat, dark glasses, and a hat pulled down low on your face. Or as with other pornographic films, you could say to yourself, "What the hell, my neighbors are buying the same trash," and go in as you are.

1.0 out of 5 stars bleah,
Ignazio (naples, Italy) - See all my reviews
Vedere Stallone recitare può anche essere un'esperienza divertente, ma purtroppo capita raramente nei suoi film e questo non fa eccezione. L'inizio è da cardiopalmo: Stallone che cerca di salvare la sciacquetta inesperta mette i brividi, ma lei precipita giù e con lei tutto il film. Poteva anche finire lì, purtroppo il film continua. Pazienza.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Cliffhanger it is!,
BENJAMIN SANTINO FILIPPI (BRECKSVILLE OHIO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cliffhanger (VHS Tape)
What a Great Movie! Within the first 10 minutes of this movie, I was exclaiming out loud - "why haven't I heard of this film before?" Talk about edge-of-your-seat ... the opening scene deserves a place in film making history as one of the all time openings. It's already been tributed - the second "Pet Detective" movie opening spoofs this film's opening, complete with the red helicopter and breathtakingly high altitude climbing.
Janine Turner is Stallone's sensible and grounded girlfriend who flies a helicopter and assists with rescue missions, but it's Stallone who gets caught up in a story of intrigue and greed against the backdrop of beautiful outdoor mountainous areas. There are subplots and chase scenes.
Very believable with an interesting plot and reasonably good character development, lots of excitement and very well done. Highly recommended for an evening's entertainment.

A Former Admissions Officer Assesses 'Admission'
What the new Tina Fey flick got right--and wrong--about the college admissions process.
Tina Fey as admissions officer Portia Nathan in "Admission."
"The worst week of admissions was the 10 days after decisions came out because you waited for all the irate alums to call, 'What do you mean you didn't take this kid?' You just didn't even want to go to work. You wanted to hide and not return phone calls," says Hernandez.
The drama of angry phone calls aside, Hernandez says it's not surprising there wasn't more of a focus on the day-in, day-out of her old job. "The majority of admissions is drudgery, and if anything, they didn't get enough of the drudgery because of course it would be boring in a movie to watch a lot of drudgery."

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
TAZEWELL, Va. —
Progress is slow but steady on a $4.1 million sewer project extending service to the Dry Town area.
Town Manager Todd Day said the Dry Town Sewer Project is moving forward but at a slower pace than he would like. When completed, the project will bring sewer access to areas of Dry Town previously annexed by the town.
"It's going a little slow," Day said. "It is moving forward, but it is taking longer than we would like due to legalities and red tape."
Project engineers and legal advisors are presently working to secure right-of-ways for the project, Day said.
"We are still working to secure the right-of-ways," he said. "The engineering has been done and those engineers are working with our in-house attorney to do the deeds and plats with the property owners that we need to facilitate the project. When that is done and agreements are made with the property owners, the project will go to bid. We are hoping to start soliciting those bids in the spring."
Day said a variety of grants and a low-interest loan are helping the town finance the sewer project.
"This is a multimillion dollar capital improvement project to areas annexed by the town presently on septic," Day said. "We have grants totaling $600,000 to finance the project through the Department of Economic and Community Development as well as around $60,000 from the Department of Environmental Quality. There is about $720,000 in grant money we have secured. The rest of the money is coming from an approved low-interest governmental loan from the state. The estimated cost of the total project is $4.1 million. We are really excited for this project."
When completed, Day said town leaders are hoping the sewer expansion will lead to both residential and economic growth for the area.
"The quality of life is improved with sewer lines and better drinking water," Day said. "Having these things is important to local residents. This project will not only help residents but stimulate economic growth, allowing more businesses to open and expand. Several of the areas we annexed already had residents and commercial businesses, but they did not have sewer service. Most are presently running on septic tanks. The town owns and operates a full-service sewer treatment plant that continues to grow. Our ultimate goal is for both residential and commercial growth in that area when this project is complete."

Australia: Muslim teenager goes to court to stop forced marriage
Country/Region: Australia
A 16-year-old Muslim girl in Sydney has been placed on an airport watchlist after going to court to prevent her parents sending her to Lebanon for a forced marriage.
The Federal Magistrates' Court ruled that the parents of the teenager, who cannot be named, could not remove or attempt to remove their daughter from the country to marry her intended husband, whom she has met only once.
Magistrate Joe Harman also ordered that the parents not assault, molest, harass, threaten or otherwise intimidate the girl or take her out of school.
Mr Harman said that the girl's application, to prevent her parents from sending her away for marriage, was becoming increasingly common.
The young person's evidence makes very clear that she has expressed to her parents that she does not want to go to Lebanon and does not want to marry the person proposed, he said.
She has indicated also in her evidence that she is fearful for her personal safety, that she has concerns as to what will occur in relation to her mother's reaction once she becomes aware of these proceedings.
He said that the girl might be thought to have betrayed the authority of her parents by challenging the Lebanese Islamic culture in which she had been raised, and this possibility only made him more convinced of her argument.
He added:
What has occurred is, in fact, an act of great bravery by this young woman in taking the steps this young person has taken in seeking assistance through the Legal Aid Commission.
Mr Harman found that there was a psychological risk to the girl if he did not stop her marriage to a man who was essentially "a stranger".
He said that if she was forced to go through with the union without her consent, it would render the marriage void under Australian law.

$outhern Cal Player's Ridiculous Quote (from the Cheatey Petey era)
"The NCAA is a very flawed system, and even the biggest Notre Dame fan or UCLA fan or Alabama fan, if they look at it and they look at the evidence in the case, and then they look and see what happens at other schools, they'd say, 'OK, someone just had it out for SC.'" - Alex Holmes, $outhern Cal tight end from 2000-2004. Uh ... okay. You can see the rest of his comments under "2004: U$C 55, Oklahoma 19".

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Fiancé of missing young woman finds it too painful to live in city
The city holds too many painful memories for Matt Bushby.
So many, he has moved his young, motherless family to the country.
Bushby's fiancée, Claudette Osborne, went missing on July 25, 2008 around 6:30 a.m. She was last seen near the Lincoln Motor Hotel on McPhillips Street near Mountain Avenue. There has been no trace of Osborne ever since. She was only 21 years old.
"I prefer not to live in Winnipeg full-time, there are just too many memories," said Bushby. "When I drive down the street I can't help but look when people look similar to Claudette."
Although the pain of losing a fiancée is always with him, Bushby said he remains strong for his kids, ages four, six and seven, and is always watching out for their safety.
"I can't help but watch my kids like hawks because losing one is enough. I try to do the things Claudette would have wanted us to do. I take care of them and make sure they have everything they need. It eases some of the stress. They keep me busy."
Bushby also makes sure his kids keep the memory of their mother alive.
"The older kids have memories of Claudette and I do everything I can to reinforce those memories and we always celebrate her birthday. Claudette loved birthdays."
Although Bushby admits Osborne dealt with problems, he still believes the response from the police when she first went missing was far too slow.
"The stereotypical response was that this was a person with an addiction so she probably just went off and it isn't really an issue. But now since we have lost so many young women, it seems like that is no longer the way they handle things. It's acted upon now. It's not like the two weeks that went by for us," said Bushby.
Although Bushby said he waited for a response from the police, it didn't take him long to realize that he should be very concerned.
"Right in my heart I just felt there was something horribly wrong. I was thinking very quickly this is extremely strange. I think I knew Claudette so well that it just did not make sense for her to take off. She loved her children too much."
Winnipeg Police Service investigators say Osborne was last seen near the Lincoln Motor Hotel. They have learned that she went from the hotel to the area around Selkirk Avenue and King Street around 6:30 a.m. that morning. The police missing person's unit is actively investigating the case.
"Investigators firmly believe that there are people out there that know specific details about Claudette's disappearance, and we need those people to come forward with crucial information," said the Winnipeg police in a press release.
Matt said the first few years after Osborne's disappearance were focused on finding her, but now "the focus has switched to closure."
While Bushby admitted Osborne did have some problems, he said she knew she was capable of living a clean life and being a great mother. He said life without her has brought him more pain than he ever could have imagined.
"You wouldn't wish this on your worst enemy. It never gets easy. I just wish nobody else would ever have to go through this."
Anyone with information on the disappearance of Claudette Osborne can call the Winnipeg Police Missing Persons Unit at 204-986-6250 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477 (TIPS).

Avid readers horde books like a squirrel hordes nuts, but even the most relentless pack rats can run out of space. Garage sales and half-priced bookstores can be a great way to clean out those bookshelves, but you aren't going to get back the money you put into it.
That's where book swapping and book exchanges come into the picture. Instead of selling your book back for a fraction of the cost, you participate in a book exchange by mailing your book to someone who requests it and receiving your own request in the mail. Your old book finds a reader, and in return, you get a book to read.
Book exchange websites make the process of trading books easy. Most are free to use, and some even pay for the postage needed to exchange books.
The Book Exchange is Good for the Environment
One neat aspect of participating in a book exchange is the benefit to the environment. According to Greenpeace, one Canadian Spruce tree can produce only 24 books. This means with only a couple of dozen exchanges you will have saved a tree. Participating in a book exchange also saves on ink and leaves a smaller environmental footprint than printing a book.
A List of Book Exchange Websites
- Swaptree. Trade books, music or video games.
- WhatsOnMyBookshelf?. Create book lists, categorize books by tag, meet people with similar interests and exchange books.
- America's BookShelf. A full service book club that lets you share your books online.
- BookCrossing. Register your book and then set it free by leaving it on a park bench or in a gym allowing it to find a new owner and perhaps create a new book lover.
- Bookins. Trade and exchange books and DvDs for just the cost of postage.
- BookMooch. Mail your books to someone who wants them for points and then use your points to buy books from other users.
- BookSwim. The Netflix for books, BookSwim is a book rental service where you create a pool of books and have them mailed to you.
- PaperBackSwap. Exchange books with other readers for the price of postage.
- Read It Swap It. A UK-based book exchange service.
- Socialbib. A book exchange service focused on helping students get college textbooks for free.

Final Score: Philadelphia 108, New Jersey 100 (OT)
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Corliss Williamson scored seven of his 15 points in overtime, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 108-100 win over the New Jersey Nets at the Wachovia Center.
Allen Iverson, whose jumper tied the game with 7.2 seconds left in regulation, paced the Sixers with 26 points and Marc Jackson added 19 in the win, Philadelphia's first in four games. The Sixers had lost three in a row after a season-opening win at Boston. Kyle Korver had 15 points and rookie Andre Iguodala added 11 in the triumph.
Richard Jefferson poured in a game-high 33 points for New Jersey, but missed crucial free throws down the stretch. Eric Williams ended with 17 points and Alonzo Mourning chipped in 16 and nine rebounds in the loss for the Nets, who have dropped two of their last three games.
After the Nets used an 8-0 run for an 84-77 lead in the fourth quarter, the Sixers battled back and sent the game into overtime. New Jersey was ahead 96-94 and had two chances to seal the win from the foul line. However, Jefferson and Mourning each missed a pair of free throws and Iverson later buried a jumper to even the score at 96 apiece with 7.2 seconds remaining in regulation. Jefferson's desperation shot in the waning seconds was no good.
"That was a big-time bucket by Allen," Sixers head coach Jim O'Brien said.
Williamson's three-point play opened the extra session and gave the 76ers a 99-96 edge. After Jefferson missed two more foul shots, Philadelphia made it 101-96 on Williamson's jump shot with four minutes left in OT.
Jackson's layup in the paint then put the 76ers ahead 103-96 and New Jersey got its initial basket of overtime thanks to Brian Scalabrine's jumper from the corner. Williamson then knocked down two free throws for a 105-98 margin.
"We're happy to get the win and we're trying to get some more," Williamson said after the game.
Mourning's field goal cut it to 105-100, but New Jersey never got any closer.
New Jersey led by a 27-24 score after 12 minutes of play. After the Sixers grabbed a 29-27 lead on Willie Green's basket early in the second, the Nets ripped off 11 straight points for a 38-29 cushion. Jefferson's jumper later gave New Jersey a 49-37 lead and the Nets carried a 53-44 edge into the locker room. Jefferson led all scorers at halftime with 20 points and Green added 10.
The Sixers opened the second half on a 10-3 run to pull within 56-54, and later tied the game at 58 apiece on a pair of Iguodala free throws midway through the third quarter. New Jersey, though, took back the lead at 68-64 courtesy of a Williams three-pointer with four minutes left. Consecutive three's by Korver and Iverson followed by two Jackson foul shots later tied the game at 72-72. The score was knotted at 74-74 after 36 minutes.
Iverson's three-pointer early in the fourth quarter staked Philadelphia to a 77-76 lead. The Nets, however, countered with an 8-0 run for an 84-77 lead.
Game Notes
Iverson, who was 0-for-5 in the first half, needed a few stitches to repair a cut on his head...Korver has a three-pointer in a every game this season for Philadelphia...76ers guard Aaron McKie exited the game in the third quarter with a strained left rotator cuff. He'll have an MRI on Thursday...Philadelphia had lost its last three games versus the Nets...Kenny Thomas and Green both had 10 points for the Sixers...Rodney Buford netted 15 points for the Nets.

Car rentals 2013 -- something new, mostly old
As always, the biggest hassle travelers face in renting cars is whether or not to buy the rental companies' grossly overpriced "collision/loss damage waiver," or CDW. When you rent a car, the base rate does not cover you for collision damage -- physical damage to the car you've rented -- so you absolutely need a way to protect yourself against that substantial financial risk. Over the years, a "standard model" of rental car insurance has evolved, with these basic rules:

Domaine Madeleine Review
At this luxury B&B perched on 5 acres on a bluff above the Strait of Juan de Fuca, owner/innkeeper Jeri loves to amaze her guests with inventive, tasty, and artfully presented five-course breakfasts. Rooms have either impressionist or Asian accents, enjoy water and mountain views, and all have fireplaces. Four rooms have a two-person jetted tub, and three also have a kitchenette. The Rendezvous Room and Monet Rooms have private outdoor entrances, and there's also a secluded cottage among the trees. The living room (closed when the attached Renoir Room is booked) has a huge basalt fireplace, antique Asian furnishings, and a harpsichord. The grounds include a replica of a portion of Claude Monet's Giverny garden, woodland and waterfall gardens, and a picking garden where guests can pick flowers and berries.

Diablo III is being developed as the definitive action role-playing game, and a true continuation of the Diablo series. Players will create a male or female hero from one of five distinct classes -- barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, or demon hunter -- each equipped with an array of spells and abilities. As these heroes adventure through rich and varied settings, unraveling an epic storyline and engaging in combat with hordes of monsters and challenging bosses, they'll grow in experience and ability and acquire items of incredible power. The game takes place on Sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced the armies of the Burning Hells - and were fortunate enough to survive - went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In Diablo III, players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again. Diablo III will be a fitting sequel to Diablo II, with the easy interface, fast-paced action, and visceral gameplay that Diablo players have come to expect and enjoy. It will also include many new features that will take the Diablo action-RPG experience to the next level.

What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Sam Dawson (Sean Penn), a man with a developmental disability, lives in Los Angeles, works at Starbucks, and is the sole guardian of his six-year-old daughter Lucy (Dakota Fanning), after her mother abandoned them. Despite his limitations, Sam is well-adjusted and has a supportive group of friends with developmental disabilities, as well as a kind, agoraphobic neighbor Annie (Dianne Wiest) who takes care of Lucy when Sam cannot. Though Sam provides a loving and caring environment for precocious Lucy, she soon surpasses his mental ability. Other children tease her for having a "retard" as a father, and she becomes too embarrassed to accept that she is more intellectually advanced than Sam. In preparation for a custody case, a social worker turns up at Lucy's birthday party and takes her away, allowing Sam two supervised visits per week.
On the advice of his friends, Sam approaches a high-powered lawyer, Rita Harrison (Michelle Pfeiffer), whose brusque manner, fast-paced schedule and difficult personal life have earned her a reputation as cold and unfeeling. In an attempt to prove to others that she isn't heartless, Rita surprisingly agrees to take on Sam's case for free (pro bono). As they work together to secure Sam's parental rights, Sam unwittingly helps Rita with her family problems, including encouraging her to leave her philandering husband and repairing her fractious relationship with her son.
During the trial period, Lucy is ...

Entertainment behind the scenes
Hollywood glamour reigns on Oscars red carpet
(Writing by Lisa Baertlein)
Glamour ruled on Hollywood's biggest night, and "Slumdog Millionaire" star Freida Pinto was brilliant in a blue John Galliano gown, supporting actress winner Penelope Cruz donned a 60-year-old Balmain and best actress winner Kate Winslet dazzled in a one-shoulder number from Yves Saint Laurent.
Stars like Heidi Klum and Natalie Portman added splashes of color, but many stars including Anne Hathaway, Cruz, Taraji P. Henson and Evan Rachel Wood wore white and other light colors.
Who do you think was best dressed? And worst?

Golden Globes fashion: hits and misses
The Golden Globes were back this year, and no one was more excited than the stars themselves, who celebrated by walking down the red carpet in all their finest. But whose primping and preening paid off the most? And who fell horribly flat?
US Weekly Fashion Director Sasha Charnin Morrison listed Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie as two of her favorites, saying Marisa Tomei and Renee Zellweger's looks were "clunkers." Meanwhile, style expert Michael O'Connor said his top choices were Eva Mendes and Drew Barrymore.
Fashion guru Wintour tops fashion faux pas of 2008
Anna Wintour may be all-powerful in the world of fashion as editor of Vogue magazine but it seems even the almighty can get it wrong when it comes to frocks. Wintour topped a list in Time magazine of the fashion faux pas of 2008, wearning a silver dress to the Met Costume Gala that "makes her look like she's encrusted with ammonoid fossils."
But the stylish Wintour had some good company on the list. Coming in second place was Janet Jackson in a gold jumpsuit she wore to open the concerts on her RockWitchu tour which Time said did not seem to fit quite right and made her look like she came from another planet.
Desperate Dan does the London catwalk
I've faced gun-toting rebels, driven through sand storms in Iraq and landed backwards on an aircraft carrier at 200 miles an hour, but had anything in my 16-year career as a Reuters correspondent really prepared me to face the withering stares and tight smiles in the hostile battleground of London Fashion Week?
Like any correspondent trained for war, I considered my protective body armour: an old Savile Row suit (bought on sale years ago), white double cuff shirt (still stain-free!), Hermes tie acquired nearly a decade ago and a worryingly scruffy pair of black shoes with flapping soles.
NY Fashion Week campaigns for style, Lohan shows support
As the Nov. 4 U.S. presidential election draws near, New York's Fashion Week has launched its own campaign — for style.
The entrance to the tents at Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, where designers are showing their spring/summer 2009 collections, are painted with large campaign-like badges that read "Declare your Style," "Fashion = Change," "Vote Fashion, "Super Model Delegate," and "Accessorize for Democracy."
Brit scoops Gucci prize in Venice
(this was posted on behalf of Silvia Aloisi, Reuters reporter in Venice)
Britain does not have any movies in the main competition of the Venice film festival this year but it can console itself with the Gucci Group award going to one of its own.
Artist Steve Mcqueen won the top prize — given each year on the sidelines of the Lido showcase — for "Hunger", a hard-hitting film about the final days of Bobby Sands, the IRA leader who died in jail after a hunger strike. "Hunger" had already scooped the "Camera d'Or" in Cannes earlier this year.
Venice has passion for Valentino fashion
Thursday was Valentino day at the Venice film festival, where "Valentino: The Last Emperor" had a glittering evening premiere at the Teatro La Fenice opera house. The Italian designer, who retired in January this year after nearly half a century in the business, gave the festival a much-needed boost on a day when glamour was otherwise in short supply. Liz Hurley and Eva Herzigova showed up for the screening, where long, flowing dresses and diamonds the size of marbles were in abundance.
The great man, wearing a white tuxedo and his locks typically well-coiffed, shared a few moments with us on his way into the screening.
Dare to wear a "mankini" this summer?
Blame Borat! The fictional reporter played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen made "mankinis," or skimpy V-shaped thongs, famous in a publicity stunt at the Cannes film festival to promote his hit movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
It probably wasn't British designer Alexander McQueen's intention that his latest men's beachwear on the catwalk in Milan prompted comparisons with Borat's alarming lime-green creation, but perhaps it was inevitable.
