...enjoy the Star even if you didn't try the food. A 14th century stone building, the pub was originally a hostelry for Cistercian monks. These days, a more luxurious mood is created by a dark bowed-beam and plank ceiling, stone flagstones, and locally-made dark wood furniture around a fine log fire. In keeping with the pub's rustic feel, Pern serves food that's in season: fish in the summer and game birds and venison in the winter. And like publicans of old, he sources his produce locally. The village and its environs provide an ample supply...
...meditation garden with smoking moss and a restaurant run by a (yet unnamed) famous chef. The rooms will have an Asian feel, providing an ambience closer to the famous Amanresorts of Thailand and Indonesia than the pink-marble decor of Bulgari stores. Expect lots of black and gold, exotic wood and black-matte Zimbabwe marble. Each 45-sq-m room is meant to be light and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom and bathroom. In the mock-up version, a gold mesh screen divides the space between the bedroom and the bath, which takes up a third...
...colors are in danger of disengaging from their symbolism. Toward the end of her journeys, Finlay visits the "Color King," Lawrence Herbert, whose New Jersey company, Pantone, has catalogued more than 15,000 shades of basic colors.

...scope ranges from the snowy, unspoiled peaks of Middle-earth (shot in various New Zealand locales) to the city of Isengard (a composite of models and computer-generated imagery), which is destroyed--spectacularly--by a brigade of towering, treelike creatures known as Ents. Meanwhile, the hobbit hero Frodo (Elijah Wood) continues his quest: he must destroy the magic Ring before the Dark Lord Sauron can use it to rule the world. Aragorn (played by Mortensen, who transforms himself before your eyes from brooding beefcake to full-blown movie star) embarks across the desolate plains of Middle-earth to salvage what...
...north of Tokyo by bullet train. Nakamura, the 73-year-old granddaughter-in-law of the store's founder, runs the place with two of her sons and their wives, selling beer and liquor, cigarettes, canned goods, toiletries and candy. Her store couldn't be more picturesque, with worn wood floors, shelves of sake that reach to the ceiling, 10-kilo bags of rice stacked waist high and holiday decorations that say "Merry Christmas 1996." She wears three sweaters and a flowered apron and sports a couple of gold teeth. Stay long enough and Nakamura will seat...
