...infamous for its mediocre food and moribund air. But all that has changed with the opening of Top Deck, tel: (852) 2552 3331, a snazzy international restaurant on the Jumbo's uppermost level. Operated by the same team behind the almost-as-iconic Café Deco restaurant atop Victoria Peak, the new venue provides the best excuse in years for a trip to the Jumbo's anchorage in Aberdeen Harbour. Amid a breezy alfresco setting (choose from tables, sofas and even day beds), visitors can dine on cosmopolitan bistro fare - think steaks, sushi, tandoori dishes and Thai curries - while gazing...
Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) meet in the summer of 1963 when they sign on to tend a herd of sheep on the eponymous peak, which director Ang Lee locates high in ravishing Marlboro Country.

...duty sportswriter is to convince some people, usually women, that there are qualities to be admired in certain celebrated athletes. Watching, say, Lleyton Hewitt, many struggle to see past the scowling and the obnoxious self-exhortations to the traits that lifted a little trier to the peak of tennis. While most Australians preferred Steve Waugh to Hewitt, many couldn't warm to the cricketer, either. Grim and prickly, Waugh eschewed elegance for efficiency and good manners for a competitive edge. To his eternal credit, he took time out from his sport to mingle with India's poor and sick...
